Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[borovichok]

I'm wondering if this Chelsea team that won against Brighton tonight is the same Chelsea that lost against Aston Villa in their last Premier League game. Initially, I was not expecting them to win this game but they managed to win, I hope this victory awakens their winning spirit and I hope to see them further extend the winning to the premier league and to enable them step up in the table.

I'm happy about my favorite team, it was an easy game for us but at the end, we came smiling and qualifying for the next round. Mauricio Pochettino did few changes in the starting line-up in the game, and it worked quite well for him, earning him three points to push to another round of the Carabao Cup. Chelsea won Brigton ag Stamford Bridge, it was surprised winning for the blues, because no ones expects that to happened, definitely not against Brighton that are in good form. M. Jackson deserved accolades because he's performance was outstanding, making good runs in the frontlines and serving as a big threat towards his opponents.

Both teams are in good shape at the moment, and this season Liverpool has become better than ever, and they have a winning record until week 6, yes they can record 5 wins from 6 matches. Tottenham are also the same, only the difference is they drew in their last match against Arsenal. In my opinion, the chance for the two clubs to end the match with a draw score is very large, and maybe it will really happen.
Another advantage of Tottenham is that they will play with home status, and they certainly don't want to be humiliated in front of their own supporters.

Tottenham and Liverpool  will play soon. These team's players are in form. But Liverpool has historical advantage.Tottenham against Arsenal, played very well and took important points. Both teams played well in last six matches, and  displayed good impression on fans. 15 -15 was a good goals. Liverpool may be favouritr for bookmakers. Competition is strong between these two teams. Tottenham is ready for the season.

The current odds are 2.96 for Tottenham and 2.16 for Liverpool and I think it is a normal thing because looking at the statistics of their h2h surely Liverpool is the favourite but on the other hand in this case also Tottenham cannot be underestimated even though they played a draw in the previous match.
I actually don't really like bets like this but for now it's not wrong to make some bets by looking at the statistics and being in Liverpool I think it's not too bad in the big match later.

They should have utilized the transfer window and sign more players but they slept on it they thought they have enough squad depth but it’s not always so untill injuries come in and now they are paying for it. Maybe they will correct their mistakes in January transfer window and bring some players incase of injuries.

The thing with Manchester united is in the area of miss calculation because while other clubs were busy building a foreseeable team man u was busy signing off player and this have resulted into the present thing we are experiencing in the club see recent outcomes of some of the most important games and I am sure that Manchester United management will not make maximum use of the January open window to sign in new players.

I thought they wouldn't care because it was a cup match, but Chelsea won with great enthusiasm. For this they need to be congratulated. Chelsea now wanted to prove himself somehow. I'm sure this win will fuel them. I think they will perform better in the league match at the weekend.

The league has only been running for 6 matches, then there are rumors that Pochettino will be fired, is this not a loss for Chelsea because Pochettino's contract is quite long?

It's a bit strange with the news circulating on social media because many of them are corroborating the news that fans are asking Chelsea to fire Pochettino. I don't think the news is very true because Chelsea would really be in chaos if they fired Pochettino. Everything requires a process and all fans must give Pochettino lots of time to build Chelsea stronger this season. Chelsea need time to be able to compete at the top of the standings because they experienced quite bad luck last season so they need time to improve their performance.

Whether in this EFL match Chelsea was lucky enough because statistically the brand lost only to be able to hold until the final whistle.
This should be the motivation of Chelsea players because they can win even in the EFL competition, I am also actually not sure when the League starts in a few days Chelsea will win their performance in the League is quite bad and always blame Pochettino for not giving good results.

In the EFL competition, I'm sure Chelsea will want to try to perform as well as possible in order to increase their confidence when playing in the EPL. Indeed, in today's match, Chelsea can progress to the next round after they managed to beat Brighton at the Stamford Bridge stadium. However, in today's match Chelsea played more defensively because statistically they lost possession of the ball and also did not make many attacks in this match so they only took 9 shots in this match. But victory is the result they are aiming for and they succeeded in doing that in today's match.

Chelsea 1 - 0 Brighton
Jackson has a goal now but let's see if they can win this game.

I wouldn't take Chelsea's win against Brighton as a serious one because this is not a premier league match but rather an EFL cup that clubs don't take that seriously to play with their first eleven teams.

I think Chelsea won the match against Brighton because Brighton had their attention focused more on their premier league match against Aston Villa than they had it in their EFL match against Chelsea. Still on, Chelsea have tried to prove a point that they can at least win a match despite their poor performance. Their Fulham match is what waits for them by the weekend, we see how it will turn out.

Well the fact still remains that Manchester United is indeed suffering from players and for that their substitution is weak and highly dependable on the pitch players which make the players to become more weak while still on the pitch and being unable to have a fitting replacement for them if any injury comes up,  this have made the club to suffer a lot of setbacks.

Although the club should have made used of the last transfer windows to get on board some energetic young players who can deliver more goals for the club and be able to sustain their future competition.

I think the Manchester United if ask aside the unforeseen circumstances of numerous injuries that has affected them due to lack of a senior doctor in the club they have a decent squad, in almost every position Manchester United have Atleast two to three players, except the striking role which is also been occupied by Martial and Hojlund. If they are all fit and available then Ten Hag doesn’t seems to have any excuses. He also has youngsters like gore, Mejbri, Pellisteri and Gernacho to call up to when this crisis persist. Right now united cannot sign more players until they sell because of financial fair play. This is why even Amrabat deal was a loan move for now.

I expected Brighton to win this game or in a worse case get a draw but then Chelsea proved me wrong that they could do better,. although it was such that I would call a narrow escape because any further move by Brighton would have denied Chelsea of a win and probably given Brighton a draw, it was a fair game as both sides did their best but the better side won

A win is a win but i would say Brighton actually fielded in a weaker starting line than their usual line up, Chelsea also changed there to formation with the likes of Enzo missing out. But definitely a great win for Chelsea, if it was before this competition looks more like just a cup match to Chelsea but with the state of the team i would say they needed this win and if possible should build on it more and plan on scooping this competition home. Nothing gives a struggling team a relief than having a cup win against a team which looks better than yours. Hopefully they would replicate this form to the league but they will be without their striker and Gutso the right back due to suspension. This suspension will give the likes of Broja and Cucurella the chance to impress the manager. Cucurella was used today at the right back position and it seems he would get a nod there at the weekend as no senior right back is available.

So I learnt of this rumour. It is about  Manchester United fans being allowed to switch allegiance to city. Hehehe...

Do you think with the performance so far that Manchester United has put up, will the fans at this moment not wish that this news were true?
If were anything close to being true, I don't think I have heard any kind of rule in football that allows this.

This is one of the hundreds of jokes we see online. Manchester United and Manchester City are brothers and yet they are rivals so such an idea is merely a joke. Even if Manchester United performance this season is very bad that the fans can no longer stay and see it happen, Manchester United fans will rather support other clubs that are not very close to them as Manchester City.
But then after the yesterday Carabao cup Manchester United played against Crystal palace that they won convincingly, it shows that Manchester United might be back in track.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I think Manchester United will have a better season than Chelsea because Manchester United have a more stable team than Chelsea who are obviously lacking experience in their squad and as a result struggling to win games even against the smallest of teams in the league this season. Manchester United have a high probability of improving as we approach mid season.

The current table has been showing that if manchester united has been having better results compared to chelsea in the EPL. Pochettino does too much experiment to his club. He shall stop. I would like to see chelsea to go back to the top position again.
Manchester united has been also finding the best formation without rashford by putting amrabat to play together with casemiro. These players are very important in helping MU to secure the mid.
Meguire can play in serious mode if there was ambarat as his team mate. The result against crystal palace has been also showing how good the current strategy is. Manchester united just need to give ambarat more time to play.
He is very useful and united needs that kind of player. United will become even more solid once amrabat will able to bound even better to the club. Im feeling so positive with MU after amrabat in.

Although the club should have made used of the last transfer windows to get on board some energetic young players who can deliver more goals for the club and be able to sustain their future competition.

Manchester United's performance is still not up to the standard we would have expected them to play at, but they are performing reasonably well. I don't see a necessity for Manchester United to add new players during the recent transfer window when the present ones were still doing well as of last season and were contributing and making a lot of assists for the team's game flow. Also, they are primarily young players purchased for the future rather than short-term players. There was no necessity for them to add additional players last season; they simply need to focus on the players they have currently in order to achieve good results this season.

I understand that league cup is totally different from the premiership competition, however, I don't know what you are seeing in Chelsea but from all indication,nothing have changed as regards the Blues. Tonight the may still loose to the Seagulls who are in the best form, winning their recent two away matches and scoring seven goals while conceding only two. This is what Chelsea have to contend with and I don't seek the weak Chelsea pulling any surprises.

When I saw the match that was scheduled to be played today, I had the same thought as you. But Chelsea proved many people incorrect by winning this match and not losing it again, as they normally do. The zeal here and the formation here have really helped them win the match; could it be that Pochettino wants his squad to at least win a trophy this season rather than going without a trophy? They should aim to improve their formation and gameplay, as they did today when they won the match. They must also improve and replicate this in their Premier League games.

Manchester United have a high probability of improving as we approach mid season.

Actually, both clubs are equally bad. However, between the two, Man United is more reliable in my opinion. Even if we meet both of them, we don't know which one will win, because sometimes, Chelsea also provides unexpected surprises. However, here, when assessed from the overall process and achievements to date, at least, Man United has won several times and is not as down as Chelsea. Chelsea has been below average and is still like that.

But I think that Newcastle will forget this victory not so soon for a number of reasons On the one hand, Pep Guardiola has really more important goals to win titles this season. On the other hand, this victory over Manchester City is very important for Newcastle United and Eddie Howe to raise their spirits and gain confidence in their abilities,

Yes, even though it was the EFL, however, this was quite an extraordinary moment for Newcastle. Although it could be said that Man City may not have played optimally in the match at that time, because it was not their main focus. This can really provide good motivation for the Newcastle players and coaches so that in the future they can be more optimal and better. Moreover, there is still a long way to go. In the future, they will compete against Man United, which can sometimes be troublesome. They also still have to compete in the very tight EPL. Moreover, they are also in the hell group at UCL. This will be a forge for them to always be better and better.

There is a lot of tension at Manchester United. The relationship between Erik Ten Hag and Sancho is going sour everyday. I don’t even expect the coach to be tendering apology to players who are at fault and are being punished. In Sancho’s case I think it is normal, these things happen in all clubs but what differentiates them is the approach to resolve these conflict by managers. I hope Erik Ten Hag finds a way to resolve this issues and for all parties to be happy in the end.

Last season, when there were still many great players at Manchester United, they were unbeatable, but now many great players have left Manchester United, and now Manchester City has many great players who have succeeded in giving their best contribution and bringing them to the top of the standings, a very big task. The challenge is to keep the players playing well and remaining at Manchester City so that they remain at their best every season.

It is likely that Sancho must apologize to the coach, not the coach to the players, because every coach makes decisions because their players are not disciplined and also do not heed the rules he applies. For Sancho, he is a quality player, he should not act like that because it could have a bad effect on the breakdown of his relationship with the coach.

This week Manchester United will face Crystal Palace and I'm sure Erik Ten Hag will not include Sancho in this match because Sancho still hasn't apologized to him. This match will also be played at Old Trafford and I hope Manchester United can secure full points in this match.

[shinratensei_]

I think that some players that need to be praised a lot must be amrabat and casemiro. These players are keeping MU safe from its opponent by controlling the midfield against crystal palace. MU will also face palace for the second time in a row in the continuation of EPL. Palace will use the result from this match as an evaluation for the club in the upcoming match. Mount is not yet deliver, but he was not performing so badly in this game. Mount deserves more time to play.
I think that you also forgot that to praise our GOAT meguire caused by he played so well against palace. Mu looked like a different team once, amrabat was starting his debut.
He reminds me with paul scholes. I think that MU needs to sign him as permanent transfer caused by he was also very suitable to play in manchester united.
I hope ten hag will consider him. He can also play as true defensive midfielder for united.

The partnership of Amrabat and Casemiro would produce something positive at Manchester United, especially now there injured players are gradually returning, i just hope one of the left-back recovers quickly so we'll get to see Amrabat playing at his preferred position which is next to Casimiro, and i love mounts performance yesterday he took me by suprise cause i felt he just recovered and wasn't really fit to start i hope he remains in a good form so bruno Fernandes would get enough time to rest instead of over working like last season.
 
 Suprisingly Maguire performed well also, i know alot of United fans would had been scared seeing him in the lineup but he cleared their doubt about him and did brilliantly, i observed that Maguire performance is always good when playing from the left central defence area than right and his partnership with Varane yesterday was close to perfect, cause I'll need to see how they'll do against bigger teams before I'll conclude it's perfect.

Amrabat gives positives vibes to the manchester united. Im not even surprised to see how ten hag were also reacting positively toward him. Amrabat may become someone that is needed by manchester united. I think that ten hag will not change the composition from the current strategy.
Ten hag just needs to put rashford on the bench and this will be also very helful for him at this moment. I hope that everything goes well for manchester united's plan.

We will see the same game to happen soon. Manchester united can take full points against palace after it was beating palace in the EFL cup. That will be the second time for palace to lose against united this season in a row.
Ten hag just needs to keep the current formation even longer and im sure MU will able going back at the top again.

I'm unsure if this discussion thread is an appropriate venue to delve into the Carabao Cup. Yesterday witnessed some truly surprising football outcomes in the matches involving Chelsea vs. Brighton and Manchester City vs. Newcastle. Aside from acknowledging Newcastle's presence in the Champions League, it seems plausible that other teams intentionally opted for early exits to alleviate the burden of participating in numerous competitions throughout the season.

For Sancho, he is a quality player, he should not act like that because it could have a bad effect on the breakdown of his relationship with the coach.

Sancho still refused to go into the water and apologized to Ten Hag. Sancho has been dropped from Man United's first team after it was suggested he was the culprit behind the club's poor performance. And are facing even harsher penalties. It seems he no longer wants to save his career at Man United and is ready to leave. He should humble himself and apologize to Erik ten Hag to save his career at Man United. Whether Sancho can return to the Man Utd squad will ultimately depend on his cooperative attitude. If he remains stubborn, it is likely that Sancho will soon be pushed out of Man Utd.

This week Manchester United will face Crystal Palace and I'm sure Erik Ten Hag will not include Sancho in this match because Sancho still hasn't apologized to him. This match will also be played at Old Trafford and I hope Manchester United can secure full points in this match.

Man Utd had a big 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace thanks to goals from Garnacho, Casemiro, and Martial. Once again, fans did not see Sancho's figure in the squad.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Man Utd had a big 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace thanks to goals from Garnacho, Casemiro, and Martial. Once again, fans did not see Sancho's figure in the squad.

Certainly, Manchester United doesn't require Sancho any longer. Even if he returns, I wouldn't anticipate a return to his previous form, and there's a significant chance of him leaving. Therefore, I believe Manchester United should move on from Sancho's position and explore other high-quality alternatives.

I'm unsure if this discussion thread is an appropriate venue to delve into the Carabao Cup. Yesterday witnessed some truly surprising football outcomes in the matches involving Chelsea vs. Brighton and Manchester City vs. Newcastle. Aside from acknowledging Newcastle's presence in the Champions League, it seems plausible that other teams intentionally opted for early exits to alleviate the burden of participating in numerous competitions throughout the season.

Newcastle's victory isn't all that shocking, given that Manchester City fielded several reserve players and didn't seem too determined. However, it's undeniable that Newcastle put up a strong performance at home. What surprised me the most was Jackson's outstanding display, which helped revive Chelsea's spirits.

After the match ended, Pep Guardiola said that their focus was just on achieving a treble winner and there was no need to target a quadruple. I think it makes sense that Pep Guardiola doesn't push too hard in EFL competitions because winning titles in major competitions such as the EPL, UCL and Supercup are much better. Moreover, Manchester City is the team that won the treble and of course Pep Guardiola wants to win these 3 titles again this season. So the defeat against Newcastle certainly won't make Manchester City sad.

Regarding Chelsea's match against Brighton, I think Chelsea are very serious in this EFL match, however they are not participating in European competitions, so it is better for them to focus their energy on being able to win and achieve this title. Brighton is also not that serious in this match because they still have a target of becoming one of the teams in the top 4 of the EPL and will also still focus on the European league group phase. So Chelsea's victory felt like entertainment when the team needed a win to be able to win again in the EPL match later.

I think it would be better for Manchester United if ETH leaves the team and a more experienced coach joins the team. The problem that started with Ronaldo continues with other players today. It must be tactically insufficient because Manchester United cannot get what they want despite all these transfers. The problem here may be the coach.
