Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[borovichok]

I do not think the victory over brighton can give the chelsea lads any spark or ginger or vibes to defeat fulham on saturday. They played a rotated Brighton side in the carabao cup. In the EPL this weekend, Chelsea will play a full strenght Fulham side and they must aim to score atleast 2 goals if they want to defeat fulham because the fulham team will always score a goal or 2

Can this chelsea side score 2 goals? Can they even find the target once in the EPL? This are hard questions Chelsea does not have proofs for.

With Chelsea previous squad that was managed by formwr owner, Abramovic, we supposed not to be having this conversation right now because Chelsea then was fire and the fans could easily counts their defeats each season. The present day Chelsea is totally out of line, not form and having challenges scoring goals. Fulham are average side, blues will focused on winning them inother to grab a second winning in EPL this season, Mauricio Pochettino will make it happen, he did mapped out the appropriate players against Brighton, I just hoped he do the same against Fulham. Chelsea is an elite team, time for them to start behaving like one.

I don't think he has anything to apologize for after all the coach is finding it hard to admit that he has done wrong.  Sancho on the other hand, has only committed one offense which is not being in his best form, so why on earth would the coach say he's not doing well in training? The player said he's doing fine, if the coach don't like him is best to say Sancho isn't in his plan and let the player start packing his stuff to any available club.
I have this feeling that this issue is on the palm of the coach, and I don't see this as a sign of discipline at all, ETH doesn't like Sancho and it won't help the team.

I don't think Sancho would help the team as well, instead of allowing his pride make his form to reduce more why not apologise to the coach so as to start training with the first team, maybe the coach would give him a chance to prove himself and show to the fans that the coach was wrong, by displaying a very good performance on the pitch, after all Wambissaka was also called and even benched for Dalot but the coach but he worked hard to improve and impressed the coach.

 Erik Ten Hag is the coach of Manchester United and he knows what's best for his team, if they coach says you're not doing fine, or meeting up with his standards, then it's left for the player to be very punctual in the training ground and work hard to be at his best, instead of replying back to the coaches comment like Sancho did, a disrespect to the coach is like disrespecting the club, Sancho won't dare try such a thing if it were in Sir Alex Ferguson's era, i don't even think he would've made the 1st team.

Now everything is difficult, we don't know what is right and wrong, but what is certain is that the result of this feud has caused the Manchester United team to suffer quite a loss and now it is even rumored that Sancho will be loaned out in the January transfer market, which means that the Manchester United team will have to bear the losses from the case. This.
I am not defending the players but I think Ten Hag should also be wise in building communication with the players, this is not the first time Ten Hag has had problems with his players.

Not only this season, even since last season Fulham has always been better than Chelsea and it looks like this time we will see Fulham again being able to beat Chelsea at home. If we look at the meeting between the two last season, Fulham was able to beat Chelsea at home with a score of 2-1 and I think this time Fulham can do it again with a better score of 2-0 or 3-1 considering that Chelsea is very far from being productive. Another fact about Chelsea is that in September they have not recorded a single goal in the EPL competition so we can see that they will again have difficulty winning in the next match against Fulham. So, it is fitting that Fulham will win very convincingly and I still doubt Chelsea if they continue like this in the future.

Even though they still don't appear consistent, the victory over Brighton should be able to spark enthusiasm for the Chelsea players to win the match again against Fulham. Yes, in the last two seasons the Blues have been so down that it is easy for anyone to win three points. For this week's match I believe Chelsea will be hunting for victory again, in the betting market they don't have a big chance of winning but I believe the Blues will be able to overcome Fulham's resistance.

Chelsea performance is still full of mystery, hopes of winning will be discussed again when they meet Fulham in the seventh week. Both of them have just achieved an important victory in the Carabao Cup, this result will be valuable capital for Chelsea and Fulham when they meet in the EPL. Whoever wins will improve their position in the middle of the standings, yes this meeting feels more suitable to be called a derby of mid-table clubs. In terms of percentage, Pochettino squad is still superior to Fulham, the momentum to recover and improve their performance is the right headline for the Blues this time.

In the previous match, Chelsea was able to achieve good results over Brighton. We know that the quality of Roberto De Zerbi squad is still better than Fulham. So the chance of winning for the Blues is very big, but of course it won't be easy because the match will be played at home to Fulham. What is certain is that Pochettino is currently under great pressure, this match will be a gamble of fate for the Argentine man.

[Luzin]

Manchester United seems quite better than Crystal Palace in their previous match. You are right in saying this is not a good start for them because we noticed how their performance has been moving from the start of the season.

The good news is that Antony will return to training. Antony has not been named as a suspect and has been arrested either in Britain or Brazil. Antony has provided some evidence to support his statement. But even though he is back with United after more than 4 weeks and has not played in 4 games, it seems that he will not play against Crystal Palace. Man United seem to need his manpower and the management continues to monitor the progress of the case.

Chelsea's chances of winning will indeed be greater, but we know how the Chelsea squad's performance currently tends to be unstable. Pochettino must be very aware of his team's current performance. he is still having difficulty changing Chelsea for the better. he may need time, or perhaps until fans' patience will run out when no change is shown.

but I think the result could be bad for Chelsea, or the best possibility is a draw.

That's almost the same thing with David de Gea, he never had that self pride, like saying something and stick to it no matter how dedicated he has been with the side, and Man UTD knew so they took advantage of the situation, that's why Manchester United player with him till they allowed him go. Now with Sancho, I think the player doesn't want same thing to happen to him and the coach shouldn't get away with it this time around. You can't just say something that's not true about me and get away with it and even expect me to apologize and make me look stupid, that's not cool.
Sometimes is better to forget as in never to buy what the managers tells the media because they can make the players look like the bad one and them the saint.
What I'm saying is that Sancho and Erik ten Hag should look for a way to settle it.

Erik Ten Hag is the coach of Manchester United and he knows what's best for his team, if they coach says you're not doing fine, or meeting up with his standards, then it's left for the player to be very punctual in the training ground and work hard to be at his best, instead of replying back to the coaches comment like Sancho did, a disrespect to the coach is like disrespecting the club, Sancho won't dare try such a thing if it were in Sir Alex Ferguson's era, i don't even think he would've made the 1st team.

You have said it all and I quite agree with you on this but you should never forget that sometimes these coaches over step their boundaries and they feel since they're the coach they're free to do whatever they feel like and they'd get away with it.
Players deserve their respect too.

but I think the result could be bad for Chelsea, or the best possibility is a draw.

The bookies favors Chelsea to win the match and if you check their past 5 matches you'll  see that Chelsea have been more dominant and have won about 3 out of 5 with Fulham winning just 1, but with the current performance of Chelsea i doubt if they'll be able to defeat Fulham away from home, even though the had managed to win Brighton in the EFL tournament because Brighton are not a team to be underestimated.

 But i agree with you when you mentioned that the best possibility is a draw, Chelsea would dominate the game as usual but would find it difficult to get a goal due to lack of a good finisher and even though they managed to score a goal, Fulham would reply, or the game could probably end with a goalless draw,  Fulham are playing at home which gives them more advantage over Chelsea.

[abhiseshakana]

You are right. Sometimes we can even see a difference in a club's performance when playing in the EFL and in the Premier League. So Crystal Palace's defeat in the EFL should not make Manchester United careless in the Premier League match. Because the Crystal Palace coach, Roy Hodgson, will definitely be more careful in matches in the Premier League. But I think Erik Ten Heg would also definitely have the same thoughts. And yes, he will definitely focus on this match. Because after all, Manchester United currently really needs points in the Premier League.

Manchester United won 3 - 0 over Crystal Palace in the third round of the EFL Cup but this victory was not a good start for Manchester United because it is not certain that they can still win again against Crystal Palace because in the Premier League both of them have almost equal performance even in the standings the difference is only just one point.

Manchester United fans hope that in the future they can perform quite well in the Premier League and have high hopes that Manchester United this season can finish in the top three or four.
Ten Hag looked very satisfied when he got this victory but this pleasure was only temporary because tomorrow Manchester United might face a stronger team and might not be able to win again.

I think Man United improved a bit after they lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The 2 wins they obtained were against Burnley and Crystal Palace became quite important support for their self-confidence. Apart from that, players who had previously been injured were also able to play again, so that will provide many options for Ten Hag in choosing the composition of players and efficient strategy to face their opponents.

The match against Crystal Palace in the Premier League is a good opportunity for Man United to strengthen their steps. They will play at home, so it is very likely that they will get a win, as long as they can keep playing consistently.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Chelsea do not have to look too far ahead, they actually don't have to worry about the big teams for now, what matters is the next game and they have to stop losing games that they have a high probability of winning. The most important thing for Chelsea to do now is to build on their Carabao cup victory, they have to take advantage of the momentum and beat Fulham on Monday, if they do that, it is two wins in a row, and from there they could get the confidence they really need to bring their season to life.

Chelsea's position is in the top 14 of the standings, so it is natural that Chelsea is very worried because they are one of the big teams that should compete for the top five positions at the top of the standings. Hopefully, Chelsea still has the opportunity to improve its strategy and be able to catch up on points. left behind and showed the Chelsea fans and supporters that they were still worthy.

The chance is always there as long as pochettino will not be doing another stupid thing. The last match is quite better caused by i have seen some players back to their actual positions. Im not going to be the one who complain about the result from the previous match but some improvements actually needed. Chelsea took a win against brighton already a very big motivation for the club. Even though the second goals annulled by the referee but it's pure referee's guilty. Im so happy to see that chelsea can keep up the cleansheet in the EFL club against brighton.
It's boosting the club a lot. Im just feeling so glad to see a victory. The way referee was annulling the second goal showed if the referee was still crap. I hope there there will be more improvement on the referee.
Reece james and chilwell may also absent in upcoming match against  fulham. A victory against brighton like a very big motivation to the players to play better in upcoming match.

[len01]

Fulham will act as hosts, this will be very beneficial for Fulham in terms of the atmosphere where they play which is filled with supporters and in addition to the condition of Chelsea who is not at their best. Three games without a win is not a good result for Chelsea, Fulham can take advantage of the conditions Chelsea are experiencing to achieve victory in front of their supporters.
This time the atmosphere will be different, Fulham does not want to lose again to Chelsea as experienced in the last meeting, Chelsea atmosphere which is not good will be an advantage for Fulham to win after the last meeting was only able to achieve a draw with Crystal Palace.

predicting this match is a little difficult because if you want to explore how these two teams actually have equal performance at the moment, so even though Fulham will host this match, it does not mean Chelsea will lose. maybe Chelsea is currently unstable but we have to look at the bright side before placing a bet. lets just look at the few times these two teams have faced each other to compete and in the match between these two teams we can see that even though they have equal performance and Chelsea looks a little bad, it is possible that this team will beat Fulham. It would be better to be careful placing bets on this match and for myself it would be safer not to bet on this match.

[xzone]

They are still under the illusion of past glory and it would take them more than two seasons to come back to the Chelsea that everyone knows

Their performance this season means that gamblers should not expect much from Chelsea. I agree with what you said that it will take at least two seasons for Chelsea to rebuild the team into the Chelsea that everyone knows. Maybe even longer than that. I just hope that Chelsea will not become like United where they have been a mid-table team for so long.

We see similar things in many teams this year. The teams that were among the best last year are at the bottom this year, and the teams we know as European giants are currently unable to win matches in their leagues. I don't know why this happened, wrong transfers and the departure of good players from the team may have been effective in this

Ten Hag looked very satisfied when he got this victory but this pleasure was only temporary because tomorrow Manchester United might face a stronger team and might not be able to win again.

Crystal Palace will definitely not use the same strategy as in the EFL. And of course Crystal Palace won't want to be beaten twice in a row. I feel that Crystal Palace will focus more on implementing a defensive strategy in tomorrow's match. And will counterattack when he gets the opportunity.

Even though palace will change its strategy and i think it doesn't matter a lot for manchester united. What matters a lot is the quality from the players to execute the strategy. Manchester united may also still use the same strategy as before but seeing how amrabat and casemiro was protecting and keep the mid made me feel so confidence with the performance from manchester united in upcoming match. We may see the same result but fewer scores to be made in the upcoming game.
Manchester united will be also trying so hard in acquiring full points from palace. Let's say that if palace may also try to identify which may probably become the weakness spot of united.

But my estimate is that Manchester United will probably still win tomorrow's match. It's just that maybe this time the victory was only by a narrow score like 2-1.

Me too. The quality of players is talking much in this match. It can be seen from even without rashford, manchester united is still able performing even better than before.
I hope that if MU will able to maintain its performance like the previous match. Amrabat was a key for manchester united to own mid.

I personally am very doubtful with Chelsea, seen and noticed indeed if Chelsea and Fulham are compared between the two do not have differences that are far in terms of playing quality. To get the draw it is possible for both of them at this meeting, but I have more calculations on Fulham who can win this match, with a win not far 1: 0 or 2: 1 for Fulham.

Mentally for me for Chelsea players today it is still in the development stage because they have many new players and also the coach who is still fairly new to carry Chelsea, the situation they visit to the Fulham cage I think it will affect those who will make them lose victory.

It would be better to be careful placing bets on this match and for myself it would be safer not to bet on this match.

I would really see Chelsea beat the Fulham side, I know it would be another difficult game for the Blues and I expect the fans to accept defeat before the kick off of that game just in case, because from all I saw between Chelsea vs Brighton, the Blues could not take chances given to them and they still lack that shooting from outside, almost all the coaches in EPL have known Chelsea to be a team that love driving the ball into the 18 yard box without shooting till they're being dispossessed of the ball, so I don't see Fulham being scared of Pochettino's attackers.
But it seems the Chelsea side have a promising attacker, I mean the man Broja, I so much love the way the player move and attack to get the ball, who knows he might be the change Chelsea have been looking for, if Pochettino start him and Jackson the attack can be more deadly for opposition.
But for now let's see if Chelsea can get a win, to me I see that game as a draw game, after all is a London Derby.

Crystal Palace lost their crucial players this summer and couldn't signed backup replacement for them, rather they stick on playing with the current ones, which doesn't contribute to the growth of the team. Before Palace will build up, it will take lengthy period of time, I just hope they're exceptional good this season because relegation zone is just around the corner. Crystal Palace are no match for Manchester United in both EPL and outside the league. Erik Ten Hag will always defeat Roy Hodgson anytime they clash, because his opponents is experienced but weak, there's absolutely nothing with United boss, Erik Ten Hag is agile and have the abilities to instruct his players on what to do.

[Iroh]

The good news is that Antony will return to training. Antony has not been named as a suspect and has been arrested either in Britain or Brazil. Antony has provided some evidence to support his statement. But even though he is back with United after more than 4 weeks and has not played in 4 games, it seems that he will not play against Crystal Palace. Man United seem to need his manpower and the management continues to monitor the progress of the case.

The news about Antony returning to training with the team is a welcomed one. The article stated he wasn’t placed on any restrictions after having spoken to the police about the allegations. It seemed the evidence he provided seems solid enough for the police at this point.
It also seems it’s enough for the club as he’s expected to be back training with the team. Although when he would be actually be on the squad for a game is yet unknown. Manchester United do need his presence and expertise in their games.

This is very good news for the Manchester United team in the midst of the problems that are currently happening in this team, but I don't think that Antony will immediately be played in Manchester United's match this weekend against Crystal Palace because he has just joined the team, it certainly takes time for him to able to adapt again after not being with this team for a long time, but even so, it cannot be denied that Antony's return will make a positive difference to the team.

[Weawant]

I think Man United improved a bit after they lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The 2 wins they obtained were against Burnley and Crystal Palace became quite important support for their self-confidence. Apart from that, players who had previously been injured were also able to play again, so that will provide many options for Ten Hag in choosing the composition of players and efficient strategy to face their opponents.

The match against Crystal Palace in the Premier League is a good opportunity for Man United to strengthen their steps. They will play at home, so it is very likely that they will get a win, as long as they can keep playing consistently.

I'm very optimistic about Manchester united as their recent series of wins is giving so much hopes that they are gradually improving in their play and results they get from each games recently. The wins they have gotten recently will really boost the confidence and morale of the players as to the fact that they can do even better.

The game against crystal palace will be a good opportunity for them to get some more points to keep them going in the standings of the premier league as this will give the fans too more confidence in them, if they win crystal place it will be a three consecutive wins at a time they have achieved in the past few days.

Crystal palace will be hosted by Manchester united and this could be an advantage Manchester will have over them, in their last five games they have won two lost two and drew one, this could. Be an indication that they are not very strong team but then can give Manchester united a hard time wining due to the current state of Manchester united not been at their very best.

[Coyster]

I do not think the victory over brighton can give the chelsea lads any spark or ginger or vibes to defeat fulham on saturday. They played a rotated Brighton side in the carabao cup. In the EPL this weekend, Chelsea will play a full strenght Fulham side and they must aim to score atleast 2 goals if they want to defeat fulham because the fulham team will always score a goal or 2

I know Chelsea have started this season in the worst possible way, though it is quite similar to how they played last season, nothing seems to be working for them, they have had a couple of managers in the last year or so, but no difference in terms of results. Having said that, they absolutely needed the win they got against Brighton in the Carabao cup, it does not matter if Brighton played their first team or not, it just matters to Chelsea that they can finally score a goal after a long time and get a win as well. Fulham will definitely be a tougher test because this time it is a Premier league game, but i think Chelsea have to build on their success in mid-week, if they do so they might just be able to change their fortunes this season.

[hahay]

I don't know why this happened, wrong transfers and the departure of good players from the team may have been effective in this

Basically, the competition in the Premier League from season to season is becoming more difficult, especially if Chelsea still needs time to adapt and or to build chemistry. Then of course, this factor will make Chelsea slow to develop during the increasingly difficult competition in the Premier League. Because we know, that Chelsea will always choose a quick decision to fire the coach, so it also certainly has a bad impact on the development for the team itself. Therefore, it seems no wonder that at this moment Chelsea is still difficult to rise, because they still do not have a good foundation as a team with many new players in the squad.
