Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Plaguedeath]

I have numerous questions about Pochettino's Chelsea rule! Can he get Chelsea to win consistently? Not buying it, especially this season! They've won twice, but beating Brighton Albion and Fulham isnt exactly headline-grabbing, is it? I wouldnt lay my home on them bashing Burnley either. Not seeing Pochettino's strategic genius that Chelsea needs right now makes me angry and scared. If they sneak into the top six, I'll be shocked. He may need time, but does Chelsea have it? The next few matchups will reveal more, but Im pessimistic for now.

Just take a look what Pochettino done so far, he was active signing many players, so when the next window transfer open, I believe he will sign many more players. I guess he will not stop until Chelsea able to compete with the top teams.

Chelsea don't have any financial difficulty, later Chelsea may suffer financial problem, but it must be a problem for the new coach, not Pochettino anymore lol.

Chelsea's current condition will indeed make everyone doubt whether they have improved or not. I personally learned from Man Utd's inconsistency and I think Chelsea could end up the same as Man Utd. It's just that Burnley should be much weaker than Chelsea. So Chelsea's chances of winning should be higher. But still Burnley as hosts is something to be reckoned with. Moreover, Burnley is currently still slumped in the relegation zone. So Burnley definitely wants the points back. At least they will try to share the points.

Mudryk will probably be much more enthusiastic in the match against Burnley. But I'm not sure whether he will score goals again or not. Chelsea's mistake this season was that they let Lukaku go by loaning him to Roma. Even though if there was Lukaku, I think Chelsea's front line would be much better. Or if Nkunku wasn't injured then of course Chelsea would be better.

It's natural that someone doubts Chelsea at the moment, considering their performance is really a mess. however, in two matches in different competitions, Chelsea started to win again. although to be honest, they didn't play with a good performance. However, we'll see who Poche will play in the match against Burnley.
IMO, Poche should do as they did against Fulham. Unfortunately, several Chelsea players are still injured, so the coach cannot be creative and experiment with the system he wants to implement. I don't know whether Broja suffered a serious injury or not. But if he is played again in the match against Burnley, at least it is better than relying on Nicolas Jackson. Or, Poche can rotate other players like Sterling for example.

The point is, he must maximize the potential of his players and adapt it to a system that suits the squad of his team. As for Mundryk, it seems he is injured and will not play in the Burnley match. We also don't know Caicedo's status yet, whether he will be absent too. However, if there are no problems with his players, Poche and his squad will be able to beat Burnley in this week's match. At least, the chance they have is bigger than the home team at this week's meeting.

Of course his capacity as Man United coach is questionable because so far there have been no significant changes, in my opinion player transfers are not the reason because currently the composition of Man United players is far above the average of other players and I wonder why Erik Ten Heg doesn't want to resign. and I'm surprised management doesn't want to kick Erik Ten Heg.

If management fired Erik Ten Hag impartially, of course it would be detrimental and would not be in accordance with the contract and duration specified, of course they would incur compensation money if the dismissal occurred, of course both of them would have to be blamed for buying players who did not match their purchase and even the skills they had purchased. have at that standard and just enjoy the money he has, to contribute to the club as usual there is nothing special about the players brought in by the Red Devils.

It is their second win of the season and I thought that it is highly unlikely that they will actually win this game. Fulham is no worth, it was just this double chance within two minutes that won Chelsea the game. This will give Pochettino some time again, but whether that's really what they want...

It's actually their third win. At least this will give the fans something to hold on to. The most important highlights in today's game are that Mudryk and Broja scored their first goals of the season and to think they needed a minute interval to break the defense of Fulham.

It still is far away from a Champions League candidate performance. If they want to be that team again then they should be able to have more control over an opponent like Fulham. If you take the rest of the game after those two goals in minute 18 and 19, it was still quite low quality. It's different because they knew they had the lead, but still.

I don't think this matters much to them because for me, they need to first move up in points to a position that is not begging for relegation before they set their sights on the champions league. Pochettino will be so confident now they have won two games in a row but if I were him, I will not be in a hurry to celebrate as they still have more difficult opponents in the likes of Man City, Newcastle, Arsenal to beat before he can rest easy.

Are you counting wins from all competitions? I was referring to Premier League only and there they are at 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. Counting the League Cup is ok, and it makes some sense because Chelsea doesn't have any exciting competition to play for besides the FA Cup and the League Cup. Which reminds me of the game against Wimbledon in the second round of the League Cup. Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge and Wimbledon took the lead. This club is so wasted at the moment, I guess Pochettino thought that managing Chelsea must be easier than this. At least when he set the goal as being better than least season. But now he realizes that something is wrong. It is already a 7 points gap to the Europa League qualifiers.

De gea was in Manchester united with these same defenders although only but a few has changed but de gea did well with these same defenders onana is having a hard time with so I think it's time we stop excusing him and bring it to him that he is been failing the club and should improve,

Yeah actually thinking about it that way you have a point because De Gea is one of the best Manchester United goalkeeper that has performed so well during his time on Manchester United, although he understand the club tactics or method very well but perhaps I was thinking Onana performance on AC Milan will be the same performance coming to Manchester United but it was quite the opposite, he is actually full of mistake lately, but truth be told Manchester United has really missed a great goalkeeper such as De gea because he is just the perfect goalkeeper Manchester United needs, perhaps just like you said let's not dwell on the past but hopefully Onana will surely come back to his former form and help the club.

I am also questioning the possibility of Erik ten Hag when he will be fired. It was thought that expensive contracts would help MU fly higher in the second season with Ten Hag, but that did not happen. The crisis of the players and form has caused continuous losses since the beginning of the new season. Ten Hag teachers and students will have no satisfactory excuse for this failure. They made too many mistakes and had to pay the price.
Ten Hag's chair shook violently. I suspect Man Utd's leadership is looking for someone to replace him. The board of directors should do something. We can't let him continue to destroy the club. Man Utd fans will not have the patience to wait and then be disappointed.

 Arsenal will be playing hosts to Man City this weekend and honestly I'm not hoping on Arteta and his boys to win the game. Last week saw Man City being humiliated by a club no one expected to pull it off, Wolves and they are already seeing red. Like literally because they'd be planning on settling the scores with Arsenal who beat them to taking the community shield.
 Another fear that the Gunners might not be able to win against Man City is that Saka is out injured and one might argue that they can do fine without the English winger but we all saw how demoralized they were in yesterday's game after Saka got plagued by an Achilles heel injury that has been bothering him since the end of the 2022/23 season and this will see him missing the top of the table encounter with Man City.
The game will be a tough one and I'm hoping Arteta uses Ramsdale instead of David Raya because the Spaniard was one of the reasons Lens were able to get their first goal, what with him trying to act like he's Onana.

The match is,going to be a tough one and probably the match of the win cause it involves two good preforming team in the EPL so far, however Arsenal performed poorly yesterday I'm their UCL match against Lens whose performance in their this season is very awful, Arsenal where favourites to win the game but a careless mistake from their goalie Sánchez was part of the reasons why they lost, and I agree that he should be benched for Ramsdale against City.

 Arsenal might suffer against Manchester City cause they'll be playing without two of their key players Martinelli and Saka who are out due to injuries and would need creativity in their attacking line to be able to beat city's defense, Pep Guardiola could take advantage of Arsenal's lose and come up with a strategy that would make them score more goals, against Arsenal.

Before playing for Inter Milan, Onana played some seasons for Ajax Amsterdam where Ten Hag worked as a coach. That is one of reasons Ten Hag brought Onana to Manchester United like Martinez.

Comparing Onana and De Gea, if it is only about saving ability, De Gea is better. If it is about passing, in theory Onana is better but the yesterday match with Galatasary shows that Onana is not too good with passing. With a goalkeeper, is passing a most important skill?

I think the most important thing is not about passing. But it's about how a goalkeeper can always save the goal. And how he can read the opponent's foot movements in directing the ball. So you can make decisions more quickly when the opponent's shot is fired. That is what is called a goalkeeper who is good at reading the direction of the ball. But for me, Onana is quite bad at reading the direction of the ball. And I agree De Gea is much better in this regard. I think Onana must learn to strengthen his mentality as a goalkeeper. He always seemed hesitant in making decisions.

Yes, that's right, goalkeeping is not just about passing. I agree that goalkeepers have a very important role in football, and their ability to read the movements of opposing players and the direction of the ball is very important. Goalkeepers like De Gea are known for their abilities in this regard, but unfortunately ETH considers Onana to be good at passing, not De Gea who has the ability to read the movements of opposing players and the direction of the ball.
It could be that the pressure of the match and the pressure from MU supporters who demand to always perform well and win every match has made Andre Onana less than optimal in guarding MU's goal.

After all, that this season is Erik ten Hag second season as head coach of Manchester United, and Erik ten Hag failure has only occurred at this moment. Because after all, at least Erik ten Hag managed to provide good results for Manchester United in his first season or last season. Therefore, with Erik ten Hag success last season, then Manchester United in this season can to play in the Champion League. So, it seems very unfair if Erik ten Hag is fired at this moment because after all, basically Erik ten Hag can still be given the opportunity to be able to return Manchester United back to good performance again.

Arteta is on his way to making a big mistake on his team, I don't know why Arsenal would make Saka the very key man that without him on the squad they would start running around like a team without a leader. I don't care how long Saka's injury would last but Arteta need to learn from Pep Guardiola that nobody is too special in the squad but in this Arsenal side is like without a certain player in the starting 11 they can't play. I feel other players have what it takes to beat City that's if they defend well and take advantage of their opportunities in that very encounter. At some point I just feel Arsenal faked the first injury on Saka and last night the real injury caught up with him and if that's the case then the Arteta will pay by losing points till Saka recovers.

[Helena Yu]

Another fear that the Gunners might not be able to win against Man City is that Saka is out injured and one might argue that they can do fine without the English winger but we all saw how demoralized they were in yesterday's game after Saka got plagued by an Achilles heel injury that has been bothering him since the end of the 2022/23 season and this will see him missing the top of the table encounter with Man City.

Both of Arsenal and Manchester City are in bad condition, Arsenal will play without Martinelli and Saka while Manchester City will play without Rodri, De Bruyne, Stones and Silva. It's 50:50, so I'm not really convinced if this match is a sure win for Manchester City.

Maybe the result will be draw?

I agree Arsenal and Arteta would probably be better prepared after their defeat against Lens in the Champions League. Losing Saka will have an impact on Arsenal's performance, but Arteta actually still has options for his attack line. But before that match, I was curious about how Manchester City would form up against Leipzig today in the Champions League. I'm happy to say Manchester City can win this match and I also want to see Haaland score.

I think the possibility of Ten Hag being fired will come true if he fails again in the next two or three matches. Moreover, if the Dutch coach fails to get United through to the last 16 of the UCL, I think management will determine their attitude at that time. If you look at The Red Devils next three matches in the EPL, United will face Brentford, Sheffield United and Man City. The first two clubs are a little easier, but Man City is a tough test for them. Determining Ten Hag fate will really depend on the opponent he will face, hopefully Ten Hag will be lucky in the next two matches.

Club officials and fans will certainly never be happy about their favorite club continuing to lose, they only need 3 points for each match, not an explanation for anything. What is clear is that management must take action from now on, if bad luck has not disappeared from Old Trafford and Ten Hag must leave immediately.

No excuses are acceptable. They need to perform better and secure a victory. Erik ten Hag has the club's support, as they see him as the right person for the current and future plans. It's important not to change coaches during tough periods but support them to bounce back. That's how they build a strong, long-term team. However, the team's balance isn't right yet, but I'm sure it will improve. And then, these lad definitely turn into a real threat against any team.

Last week saw Man City being humiliated by a club no one expected to pull it off, Wolves and they are already seeing red. Like literally because they'd be planning on settling the scores with Arsenal who beat them to taking the community shield.

This is going to be an intense match and I don’t think it’ll be an easy one to decide who will win in this match by weekend. Manchester City been beating by wolves is not an opportunity for Arsenal to prevail against them easily, their loss to wolves could be a booster to them to get back to their winning ways again after a sad weekend outing last week. Arsenal will also be looking forward to keep up or close the point gap between them and Manchester City, so the my will not also relent in this match and will want to get the best out of it too.

Another fear that the Gunners might not be able to win against Man City is that Saka is out injured and one might argue that they can do fine without the English winger but we all saw how demoralized they were in yesterday's game after Saka got plagued by an Achilles heel injury that has been bothering him since the end of the 2022/23 season and this will see him missing the top of the table encounter with Man City.
The game will be a tough one and I'm hoping Arteta uses Ramsdale instead of David Raya because the Spaniard was one of the reasons Lens were able to get their first goal, what with him trying to act like he's Onana.

Saka’s injury was a blow to Arsenal on their champions league match yesterday with Lens but it happens in football, they just need to have a plan B mapped out that will give them an edge over Manchester City in their weekend fixture against them. Saka has been an over whole dependent player to Arsenal which is not suppose to be so, sometimes he needs to be benched to rest, playing all the matches always leads to fatigue which has now caused him an injury at the expense of the team when they needed him the most in this weekend match. I hope their plan B works out for them.

You don’t need to compare David Raya to Onana base on their performance and wants Ramsdale to keep ahead of him because of last match result. At least David Raya performance this season on goals conceded is better off than that of Onana. Whether Ramsdale or David Raya, they really need to win this match.

[$crypto$]

I also don't expect Arsenal to win in that match because in fact Manchester City will try their best to avoid losing in a two-match losing streak. Losing to Wolves was surprising, so Pep Guardiola will try to do something that can give his team more confidence to stay at the top of the standings.

I agree Arsenal and Arteta would probably be better prepared after their defeat against Lens in the Champions League. Losing Saka will have an impact on Arsenal's performance, but Arteta actually still has options for his attack line. But before that match, I was curious about how Manchester City would form up against Leipzig today in the Champions League. I'm happy to say Manchester City can win this match and I also want to see Haaland score.

Yeah we all know despite being based at Arsenal's home some don't doubt Man City will lose because we see Pep Guardiola's troops will be better prepared for the following week but with yesterday's defeat to Wolves it might be a mistake from Pep's strategy hopefully this won't happen again.
On the other hand if I try to bet on Arsenal there is still a little doubt than Man City.

Arteta will definitely evaluate after last night's defeat with Lens, then the game becomes tough again even though it's in front of their own fans, I think it won't be lost just like that maybe goals will be exchanged? But I don't think it will be many goals.

No doubt Man City's defeat tonight in the UCL, this remains the favorite.

[Majestic-milf]

Maybe the result will be draw?

Hehehehe, I will love to believe the Gunners can do that but nah. You know, Pep has trained his boys to be able to cope even when their keys players go MIA but that's not the case with Arsenal. I've seen on countless occasions where Pep makes Arteta never forget he is the boss whenever they meet and I've also seen the Gunners being nervous when they get paired against the Citizens so a draw will be giving Arsenal too much credit if you ask me, but then again football can be surprising and I'm hoping for a shocker {preferably positive} from Arteta and his boys.

I don't expect much from Ten Hag for a short time even though this is his second season as Manchester United coach. Ten Hag should get good support instead of voicing his dismissal, that's what he should get instead of mocking the results of his team's performance on the field.

After all, Manchester United have not won the Premier League title for so long even though they have managed to qualify for the Champions League in 3 of the last 4 seasons, meaning it is still very difficult for us to hope that Ten Hag is the first coach to win it since the 2012-2013 season. Not a single coach has succeeded in making Manchester United win the Premier League title in the last 10 years, in fact I don't expect Ten Hag to be able to do it easily.

Earlier in the previous season we saw the performance of Manchester United. The group was completely aimless. And their performance was very poor. Manchester United's performance began to improve after Ten hag became the coach of the team. And at the end of the season we saw this team at the fourth place in the points table. And since Manchester United's performance improved after Ten hag became the coach, we had high expectations from Ten Hag this season. Manchester United management also provided Ten Hag with enough funds to strengthen the squad by adding players of Ten Hag's choice to the squad. But since the beginning of this season, Manchester United's performance has been very poor. Last season we considered Ten Hag a success, but this season it looks like Ten Hag is a failure. I don't know what decision Manchester United will take. But if this performance continues, I think United management should look for a new coach.
