Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[snipie]

I think this topic has some actuality given what is going on in the Champions League. What is Manchester United doing? I don't know if anyone put their bets against them, but by now I think it makes as much sense to bet against Manchester United as it makes to bet against Chelsea. This is the moment when ten Hag's life will become much harder as a United coach. Is this even acceptable for now? We are talking about Manchester United and yes they can have a bad game or two, but this is a fundamental problem that needs to be solved or otherwise this season is going down the drain.

Manchester United form is just sad. Imagine a team like them could not score more goals or at least equal to what they receive in both EPL and Champions League games. Same goes for defeats number vs victories..
I don't feel Ten Hag figured out yet a solution to his club failure and pression will increase after each defeat. Breaching midfield and fooling the defence line was used to distract players and score goals by their rivals. Hopefully they could fix that.

Arsenal must be careful. Arteta's team rarely having good result against lens. Playing away will obviously give huge pressure to the arsenal's players.

I was surprised to see Arsenal losing to Lens. I couldn't watch the match, but I just checked, and I saw that Arsenal lost the match. To be honest, I was expecting a win from Arsenal. I know it's an away match for Arsenal, but I was expecting Arsenal to be able to defeat Lens, but the result is surprising. Arsenal's performance this season is nice, I wasn't thinking a club like Lens should be the one giving them a difficult moment.

Chelsea managed to win again after 3 weeks in the league. After 3 weeks without a win, Chelsea defeated Fulham away and got 3 points. Chelsea, who had a bad start this year under Pochettino, are not exactly playing well but they are hardly winning matches. I wonder if the management will make a move because the gap with the teams they are already competing with has widened slightly. Chelsea increased their points to 8 with this win and there is a 10 point gap between them and the leader.

Chelsea had a bad start this season, their performance has been really poor since the beginning of the season, but I am sure it is still early for Pochettino to fix his current problems. A poor beginning does not mean a poor ending. I am seeing some changes in Chelsea's performance in their last two matches. Let's see how Pochettino will rebuild Chelsea. Pochettino is trying to rebuild Chelsea, he is just trying different strategies, he hasn't gotten a better strategy that will work better for the club, but I am sure that with time, he should be able to stabilize the club's performance. Chelsea played well in their last match, and they surprised everyone with their fantastic performance. Most people were not expecting a win from Chelsea.

Manchester United coach Erik Ten hang seems that he is already losing grip of Manchester United and how to manage the club. We were complaining that he do not have available players but right now there is a solid midfield of Casemero, Bruno and Amrabat. There is also Erikson and Mount and I wonder where the problem is coming from.

I really think that Erik Ten Hang will be the man to restore the lost glory of Manchester United according to my answer in the pool above. But it seems that Erik Ten Hang will fail. If he fails to qualify Manchester United in the relatively easy group, the chant of sack will start

Players are indeed missing, but I would not call the playing team a bad team. They had problems at the beginning of last season as well and then started a winning streak, but often had some crashes that nobody could really explain. I don't know how good Ten Hag really is. It seems that he is not a good motivator and that players sometimes have issues with them. You can then often see that players start playing against a coach instead of for the club. Burnley so far has a single point and yet Manchester United had trouble beating them, but have a look at their formation. That's not a bad formation at all.

Maybe the players really have nothing to motivate them, they are often confused on the pitch, it just means that they don't hear each other, because I doubt that Ten Hag is inarticulate in giving the set-up for the game. Even if we assume that the set-up is bad, why? Last season there was nothing wrong with it, but suddenly something has changed drastically, isn't that strange?

I think this topic has some actuality given what is going on in the Champions League. What is Manchester United doing? I don't know if anyone put their bets against them, but by now I think it makes as much sense to bet against Manchester United as it makes to bet against Chelsea.

We are talking about Manchester United and yes they can have a bad game or two, but this is a fundamental problem that needs to be solved or otherwise this season is going down the drain.

Manchester United is falling even more and I think Ten Hag is making wrong decisions over and over.
He let Antony play just after the player was back to the team training and we knew the fans were still against him.
Also, we saw Sancho near Carrington training in Manchester United maybe even this payer will get back to Manchester United and this shows any palyer can have any behavior but in the end they can still play there which is not good for Ten Hag and his team.

MU's current performance is not improving, rumors of Ten Hag's dismissal is now become a headline. There are several names currently linked with MU, including Conte, Zidane and Solskjaer. Solskjaer gave MU the best performance as EPL runner-up. If Solskjaer is right become MU coach once again, it means that MU does not have serious plans to restore their glory as EPL rulers in the Sir Fergie era.

Ibrahimovic recently repeated what I already wrote about Ten Hag - he is not ready to coach top clubs, his ceiling is Ajax where there are talented players but no stars, so the coach can pretend to be a boss without any diplomacy.
Zidane will definitely not go to a crisis club (any club), especially in the Premier League and especially United. If the rumors are true, then he can only wait for the next sheikhs to buy Marseille and hire him there.

Your decisions and same with that of Ibrahimovic can not be hundred percent positive. Ten Hag did well las season, the greatest manager in the Premier League Ferguson also went through this kind of pressure during his time with the players. Also he introduced the names like giggs, Neville brothers, Scholes and other younger players that became legends in the club.
Ten Hag barely gets the support he wants from the management but he is a good coach that understands. Things are not just in the way it's suppose to see for Ten Hag.

Today there is a week 2 postponed match between Luton vs Burnley. The match between the two clubs that are not in good condition, I think it is very likely to end with a draw. Luton will be the host, they host Burnley armed with a victory in their last match. While Burnley, who is a guest, is a club that has not won until this week. I can't predict who will be the winner in this match, because in terms of the game I don't see them being better. Maybe luck will determine who will be the winner, whether it's Luton or Burnley.

This is the meeting between the two most unpredictable teams in the Premier League, and it was rescheduled today. Burnley was able to achieve their first win in the Premier League under Vincent Kompany today, just like Luton Town did against Everton in their previous match.  Nobody could predict the end of the game since it was so unexpected. Following their two recent victories, they are now ranked 17th and 18th in the table, four points each of them ahead of Bournemouth and Sheffield United, who are ranked 19th and 20th, respectively. They are all in the relegation zone, but their upcoming games will determine whether they stay or move up in standings.

Regarding the match between Cagliari and Fiorentina, we saw some drama from other fans about this game. In Florence, the police tried to make the fans stop but because of that, a policeman got injured.
I don't know why this was so important for the fans to make something like this happen. However, Fiorentina won the game with a 3-1 result against Cagliari they are in 5th place in the table of Serie A.

It's difficult for these two teams because both still have problems in defence and the attack line is not very good so I also feel that this will be a draw match where both teams cannot score or at best they can only score 1 goal each.
Currently 40 minutes have passed but the match is still quite monotonous as there are still no chances that can really pose a threat to both teams.
I agree with what you're saying as it's likely to end in a draw given the current state of Luton and Burnley's attack.

Actually, I was expecting a win from Luton in this match, but they proved me wrong. They lost at home and Burnley managed to take 3 points from them. If you want to get out of the lower ranks in the Premier League, you must win such matches. Especially if you're playing on your home turf. I think Luton will leave the EPL with an early farewell unless there is a big surprise.

This is their first met on Premier league but before this match both teams has been met on championship division twice and indeed Burnley had good records because at that time Burnley was unbeatable in the last two meetings from Luton and the return of Lyle Foster greatly affected the game from Burnley because they could play more attacking and Bruun Larsen has been make fantastic goal which bringing Burnley to gets their first 3 points from this match and regarding the position Burnley and Luton i think both teams is not in the secured positions because 4 points 7 matches is not a satisfied performance and these teams have a potention to relegated this season

Manchester City is one of the strongest teams in the English Premier League, so it is wrong to think that they will never lose a match. So far Manchester City have won six of their first seven matches and lost only one match against Wolves. The English Premier League is a league where the team at the bottom of the points table can beat the number one team in the points table. Pep Guardiola has brought so many wins and on the contrary they have lost the last match so it is not fair to criticize him. One match loss is not an issue if they think carefully about the upcoming matches, it will be very easy for Manchester City to recover this point.

Nobody doubts that and they have dominated the English Premier League in recent seasons. I think criticism of Manchester City's defeat against Wolves is normal, because they appeared less than promising in that match. Without the presence of Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City's front line seems to have difficulty scoring goals and we can see that from several matches that have taken place where the number of goals they have scored is not too big.

Losing one match is not a problem, but what becomes a problem when the next match they also lose. Manchester City have a busy match schedule for this season and I am worried that many of their players are injured it could affect the outcome of the match, especially if the injured player is from the main team in Pep Guardiola's squad.

Not only bad performing in Premier League but also in Champion League after Manchester United losing from Galatasaray last night, have unique position with Amrabat last several matches as usually with holding midfielder but ten Hag used him as left defender for replacing Luke Shaw position. Not interested well with Manchester United performance in domestic league have loss 4 of 7 matches and the same happening with Champion League match without points yet from last two matches.

I doubt with ten Hag position will secure for upcoming several week later, inconsistency performance and loss on many important match actually have enough reason for sacking him from Manchester United's head coach and replacing by more competent manager who give back Manchester United glory.

I think, there is improvement in the team now because Chelsea dominated through out the match that made them to defeated Fulham to have more strength to finished the match, and that match has given people confident that they will definitely achieve victory in their next match. Since pochettino has discovered his errors that made the team to went through all those challenges that made their starting look poor for other teams to reduced them, but he has used this Fulham match to encourage fans that there is a hope for the team to step up to top 4 in this season. Based on what am observing from this Chelsea new manager, I think if Chelsea president give him long time he will do something that will make Chelsea to embrace that honor they where receiving as among the best team in the premier league competition in the past.

Manchester City have a busy match schedule for this season and I am worried that many of their players are injured it could affect the outcome of the match, especially if the injured player is from the main team in Pep Guardiola's squad.

And this is what I worry about because a very busy match will have an impact on the players and there is a possibility of injury or fatigue which will cause their performance to decline slightly. However, no team is perfect and no team always wins every match. There will definitely be times when a team is careless or experiences something else that affects its performance and fitness.
So it is very natural to experience defeat and Manchester City experienced two consecutive defeats in their last match, and the next match Manchester City will face RB Leipzig in the UCL group G phase. And this will be an interesting match because both of them have the same points and will fight for first place in Group G, and whether Manchester City will win the match or continue their losing streak because RB Leipzig is not an easy opponent.

I don't know why this was so important for the fans to make something like this happen. However, Fiorentina won the game with a 3-1 result against Cagliari they are in 5th place in the table of Serie A.

Maybe it was the fans way of showing their pleasure at the club because they were able to win the match with a score of 3:0 without reply at home, causing chaos, but hopefully there were no victims due to the chaos.
BTW, you seem to have mistakenly written this thread in the English league, not in the Italian Serie A league.

Chelsea is starting to return to winning ways and the players' mentality is improving. Pochettino must maintain the good spirits of his players so that in the next match he will also have high hopes of winning again against Burnley. But I'm not really sure that the Blues will be able to continue to perform well except against mediocre teams because the quality of players still doesn't look promising for this season so I'm pessimistic that they will be able to finish in the top six. If you look at the concept that has been developed, Chelsea has quite bright prospects and I am sure that Chelsea will be able to rise with Pochettino in the next few seasons.

[Nheer]

There were too many speculations about the Fulham vs Chelsea before start of this match with current form mostly were feeling things could be favorable for the Fulham because they were doing good job and Chelsea having serious troubles but Pochettino done good change in his strategy and it works for them as well which allow having early lead, and then they were able to keep things on good level with Fulham try his best but fail to break the deadlock and score any goal which is good for the Chelsea.

The strategy adopted by pochettino was different and it seems he have started to have faith in young player, i was surprised he started Mudryk and Palmer but they proved that they are up to the task and the game was different, the attack was more precise and I think pochettino should stick to playing these players.

Mudryk score his first goal as Chelsea fan which is surely good for this exciting player because after paying huge amount for his transfer there was too much talk about him and his quality hopefully now after having this winning goal his confidence level will improve, and he will be able to score more goals and his team at better spot.

English football is a very different and tough league that is why some players find it difficult to adapt to the system immediately,we have seen so many players struggle to adapt and some of them end up leaving the league while some players grow into the system and adapt fine. Paying such amount for Mudryk is a bit too high for a player that is young and not too exposed but no doubt he is a very good player and i like the fact that he wants to prove all his doubters wrong, he is working so hard to become the star player everyone wants him to be. In recent games he have shown a great improvement and he just deserved the goal and am so happy he finally scored his first premier league goal and i just hope he doesn’t relent and build on this momentum and lead chelsea to top flight once again.

Chelsea needs time before they would possibly bounced back to winning ways, they're st restructuring phase and the fans needs patience. Mauricio Pochettino is here to proof his worth to the team and the supporters. Ofcourse all the necessary signs we have been looking for is there already, eliminating a competitive side like Brighton Albion from Carabao cup and winning Fulham in EPL, two wins in a row. Our next game is Burnley and I'm 100% confident of my team thrashing them with ease efforts to maximized. Chelsea bounced back to winning ways, however I'm satisfied with the present results the blues records in their last two games.

[Awaklara]

Mudryk score his first goal as Chelsea fan which is surely good for this exciting player because after paying huge amount for his transfer there was too much talk about him and his quality hopefully now after having this winning goal his confidence level will improve, and he will be able to score more goals and his team at better spot.

Pochettino seems to be still experimenting with the players he has. he made a strategy with a different formation in the match against Fulham. This was different when Chelsea faced Brighton in the League Cup.
Chelsea's attacking game pattern looks more developed when Pochettino puts 3 players up front. rather than pushing Jackson into the opponent's defense line.
Pochettino successfully beat Fulham, I hope this will be maintained for several future matches, including against Arsenal and Man City.

People have long waited for a performance like this, although I was very scared adding Chelsea to my betting slip because you can hardly predict there performance sometimes because in most cases you will think they are doing well and the next they either draw or they lose because they have actually cut most of my slip so that's why I was a bit skeptical about there winning, but actually they played really well, the efforts and tactics they used on that match if they had use that force on there previous matches they would likely won almost all the matches but I believe they're peaking form already and with this performance there next match could be a win game for them.

most bettors are as worried as you are about putting the match on the betting slip and I would not put any Chelsea matches in until there was a consistent improvement on Chelsea.

but Chelsea fans are still very enthusiastic about believing in this team and I even said about the fact that Chelsea is in a bad condition, someone here does not agree with my statement, whereas in reality Chelsea is in a very bad condition and that not mean I say this team is very bad, just have not had any improvements.

I will just wait for Chelsea to recover soon and enter every Chelsea match again in my betting slip.

I see Pochettino is still looking for the right formation so that his mission to achieve victory can be achieved. Slowly Pochettino seemed to have found the structure of a puzzle and he began to feel comfortable with developments on the field. But even though they were able to win two matches in a row, I am not completely sure that the Chelsea players will be able to maintain their consistency. But if you look at the progress, the Blues have good prospects for going in a better direction, but this is not visible in the near future. Chelsea will likely lose points again when they meet big teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham and Newcastle.
