Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hd49728]

Finally Eden Hazard, retired at his age of 32. His last club in his career is Real Madrid but I posted it here because a golden time of Hazard is in Chelsea and Premier League.

I see he is like Marco Van Basten and they are very unlucky with their career destroyed by serious injuries at their ankles and have to retire too early. Hazard retired when he is 32 years old but in fact his career is mostly over four years ago after his injury in a match between Real Madrid and PSG.

He used to be considered as one of most potential players together with Neymar and Bale, can challenge for Messi and Ronaldo for Ballon d'Or. It has never happened with all three players. Bale, Hazard already retired and Neymar already moved to Saudi Professional League.

Enjoy Eden Hazard retirement and hope he will find his happiness with his family.

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.

Pep Guardiola would know better than to underestimate Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi's men play one of the best kind of football in the EPL and on their day they can beat any opposition in the league. City are the team under pressure in this game, two straight losses and the players will have it at the back of their mind going into this game, three straight losses would feel like a disaster.

Having said that, City definitely miss KDB, but they have missed Rodri more in the last three games for which he was suspended; Rodri is back and is available for the game against Brighton, he should give this City team a lift and we'd see if they can get their first win in their last 3 EPL games.

I see no chance of underestimating the Brighton team. This team is now the top scorer in the Premier League. They scored 21 goals in 8 matches. and  Manchester City made 17. So it's easy to see that Brighton's attack is in great form right now. However  Brighton's main weakness is their defence. The team  conceded 16 goals in 8 matches. And  due to poor defense, the team lost points in the last two matches. And I think Manchester City coach Guardiola will be able to break down Brighton's  weak defense very well. Guardiola is a very experienced coach. However, just like City played defensively against Arsenal in the last match, Manchester City will lose this match too if they play against Brighton.

Good trend from Chelsea? I'm satisfied with their last 3 matches but is that enough to depend on that trend, the style  and ways which they win the last one was because Burnley was a weak team, they had it the easy way and the remaining last 2 was by luck. Yes, it was luck, I will not believe Chelsea is back on track until they win Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City, those are the teams I'm looking forward to see the FT. If they can even win 2 out of that 3, then they are good to go else, Pochettino need to see the board for some key decisions.

  Before I proceed let me start by saying a big congratulations to Hazard concerning his retirement, he is legend for chelsea and created a very good impact on the team when he was present at the club, alot of Chelsea fans still miss him up till now and wished he never left for Realmadrid where his career was ruined due to lengthy injury spells, well the era of Hazard at Chelsea has passed I wonder who's era would be next, maybe Mudryk.
 
 Anyways Chelsea's got a big test ahead of them after the international break and it would prove whether they're back on track again since they've been performing well in their previous matches, the match against Arsenal is not going to be an easy one therefore Pouchettino needs to be really prepared to face Arsenal and try getting the 3 points, they may be very strong from the midfield area but I hope there defense line would be able to hold Arsenal's front three.

Regarding Chelsea vs Arsenal, I can’t envisage Chelsea getting anything from the game. Arsenal have momentum now and that’s so important. Chelsea have players that could hurt Arsenal but they’re just a bit of a mess at the moment, unless they really raise their game, all I see is an Arsenal win.

You can’t conclude anything yet until you see the result of the match because the same momentum Arsenal have is the same momentum Chelsea also have currently, in all competitions Chelsea have now won their last 3 games and it’s also something they can hold on to. Their highly spirited currently and their midfield and defense have improved massively and stable, even the attack is a bit stronger than they started the season.

You can’t write Chelsea off just yet but judging from past games against Arsenal they have not won a match against Arsenal since 2021 but that could be enough reason for Chelsea to put up a good fight to end their losing streak against Arsenal so I don’t expect the match to be easy for Arsenal as you all think.

Well said. Mancity is likely to lose that match they they play defensively like they did against Arsenal. One mistake that Guardiola will make in this match too is by allowing Brighton net the ball in the first instance. That I feel will reduce the fear the club may have over Man City and develop more confidence for them to score more goals. An opportunity that should be strongly avoided by Pep in the first place. I know Brighton for one thing. Their ability to score goals with their forward.

Now, Guardiola must face them squarely and ensure that they break their defense through his professionalism which I believe won't be difficult for them. Immediately the players are able to understand the pattern of their opposition, it makes it easier for them to win over the opposition. On the other hand, if Brighton wins this match. Man city will lose the 3 points and will drop down the table again.

Arsenal played well and found a winning goal when a match is coming to ending so Manchester City did not have enough time to equalize. Arsenal also tightened their defense system well to end that match with a minimum goal difference. It's a big match and one goal difference is enough but this win means more for Arsenal. They will come to rest of this season with more confidence that they already upgraded since the last season and can actually beat Manchester City in a single match. It can be a foundation for them to beat Manchester City in a long season as well.

Pep Guardiola would know better than to underestimate Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi's men play one of the best kind of football in the EPL and on their day they can beat any opposition in the league. City are the team under pressure in this game, two straight losses and the players will have it at the back of their mind going into this game, three straight losses would feel like a disaster.

Brighton is still dangerous with big team and they even shown some improvements in this season and they are dangerous enough for Manchester City to be careful. After losing against Arsenal, Manchester City need a win to bounce and get back to their win streak. Brighton will not let City to easily achieve that target as they are fighting for a  position in top six and even ambitiously try their luck with top four.

Manchester City shaky and doesn't stand strong to face competitive opponents this season. First it was Wolves, now is Arsenal, they probably can't continue like this because they have tougher games to play in EPL and also UCL. Manchester City stats, 6W 0D 2L this season. Pep Guardiola is dissapointed but hope to cover his tracks by winning forthcoming games because there's whole set of work. Facing Brighton at Etihad stadium would be a tough game because the seagulls drawed points with them the last time they met. Roberto De Zerbi have plans to match up equal strength with Pep Guardiola this season.

[Bitcoin-ATH]

Manchester City without Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodri is an overhyped team. The absence of both players have had a negative impact on the team’s performance in the last three games including defeat to Arsenal this weekend which is the most recent lose they have conceded. Gabriel Martinelli’s goal was enough to give Arsenal a win. Arsenal will treasure this win, the team have worked hard to come this far, good work to Mikel Arteta, trusting the process is finally paying off.

Wow, I didn't see this crucial winning coming through for Arsenal. It was indeed a shock to Man City players that Arsenal could beat them a second time after winning them on community shield through a penalty shootout. Arsenal players were able to absorb the pressure from Man City and the late goal put in by Gabriel Martinelli saw the gunners in flying colours over Man City. Good job!

It will be very pleasurable to many if Manchester City will further drop points in their next game against Brighton. It will give clubs like Tottenham and Arsenal the confidence that this season can actually be the season where they win the premier league as they remain and hope to continue with their good start to the season. Manchester City coach will not want his team to lose again, he will pick his best players and will not try to gamble, but Brighton will know that if Wolves, Arsenal can do it, they can too, and they will be focused on showing they can do it.

They're still very strong league contenders all they need to do is put their heads together as team and look for a possible solution to put them on track again, and I believe Pep would be  working on a game plan currently to put his team in other and not allow their 2 consecutive defeats in the EPL to affect them mentally,  well it's a good thing that one of their key player who got booked with will be returning to the team again after the international break after serving his 3 match ban.

 Pep Guardiola really misses Rodri, he's very impressive in his position and finding a suitable replacement is not something easy for Pep Guardiola and hopefully he'll come back from the international break in a good shape to help his team defeat Brighton in their next match,well City needs to sit up cause the competition this season is more tougher than the previous.

As the defending champion for 3 consecutive seasons, I think what you say is correct. Manchester City is still the favorite to win the title this season and they definitely have plans to defend their title. Other teams such as Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are challengers and of course have the opportunity to stop Manchester City's dominance if Pep Guardiola fails to get his team on the right track.

Manchester City's defeat in the last two matches can of course give the impression that Manchester City's title chances this season will never be the same as last season. However, I believe that if Manchester City can return to leading the standings, then other teams will be very difficult to stop again. We already know how strong Manchester City have been in the last 3 seasons, so I wouldn't doubt them just because of two defeats.

Yes Rodri also had to miss a few games, but he'll be back for this very important match.
True, now the pressure is on Manchester City, because they are required to return to victory after 2 previous matches must experience defeat. If they lose again in this match, then it will be a severe blow to Pep, especially they will play this match at home.
The supporters will be ready to give them full support, so that will be an injection of enthusiasm.
Brighton on the other hand will take advantage of Manchester City's unfavorable conditions, I think a draw is enough for Brighton.

Man City have lost three of their last five games, although they did very well against Leipzig in the UCL... But still they are having bad results now... Brighton are not playing very well either and even got seriously humiliated by Villa... But I still think City will win at home... Last match with City Brighton played at home in a draw... I think they will lose this away game...

I'm expecting both teams to fight fire with fire but I won't be surprised if Pep chooses to spend most times defending and catch Brighton on the quick counter-attack. I was looking forward to betting on goals over 2.50 but the odds is just @1.33 so not worth it for me. City is the huge favorite as expected.

City have the strongest squad in the Premier League. But we haven't seen a good performance from City in the last few matches. As Manchester City are looking to win the title, they need to play better. Manchester City's performance against Arsenal was very disappointing. They did not make any attempt to attack in this match. We do not know why City suddenly played such a strategy. However, the performance of both Brighton and City teams is a bit slow now. They are not playing well. Both teams have lost points in the last two matches. So both will aim to score points in this match. Brighton have been scoring a lot of goals this season. That's why I don't think City will win this match easily.

Yes indeed, if Manchester City get a schedule with opponents that are not easy like this, and at the same time Kevin De Bruyne is also still recovering from his injury. Then of course, Manchester City's performance is quite worrying right now I think because after all, after playing against Brighton and then Manchester City have to play in the Champion League against Young Boys. But unfortunately, after that match Manchester City have to play away against Manchester United. Obviously, I don't think this situation will be easy for Manchester City to be consistent with three points, because it looks like rotating players will also still be difficult for Manchester City to return to its winning streak.

Regarding Chelsea vs Arsenal, I can’t envisage Chelsea getting anything from the game. Arsenal have momentum now and that’s so important. Chelsea have players that could hurt Arsenal but they’re just a bit of a mess at the moment, unless they really raise their game, all I see is an Arsenal win.

I agree with you, winning against Manchester City in the previous match gives Arsenal momentum which will give them more confidence when facing teams with strengths below City.
Playing at Stamford Bridge will not provide many benefits for Chelsea because this season they are not special when playing at home, some of the defeats they suffered in front of their own fans at home, without underestimated Chelsea, the best result they might achieve in the match against Arsenal later is a draw and even that will be achieved with great difficulty.

We will see another interested match after international break. The derby of london will happen again and many people are waiting for this moment to come. The blues may try to do revenge against arsenal soon.
Even though arsenal being favored by the odds provider but i think that people can't also underestimate the blues. A surprise can happen anytime although arsenal owned more probability to win the game.
Arsenal might have a chance to win with narros score against chelsea. I wonder what strategy will be used by arsenal in the match against chelsea.

[onecall123]

There's a new story at Man United. Casemiro is now seen as the team's weakest link. However, being the weakest link doesn't mean he's out of position. Casemiro is a good player, but age is catching up. He's giving his best, but he's slowing down, struggling to cover ground quickly or make swift decisions. Consequently, he's committing more fouls.
Every player has their ups and downs. Currently, he's not in top form, but it's hope that he'll bounce back.

I don't think Pep Guardiola would like to joke with any match now by underestimating any team currently when they are not the team leading in the Premier League table. I believe Pep Guardiola will take any match very seriously. Yes, Brighton has started well, and we can all see how they are performing recently. With that, I know that Brighton is in the right form, and I may say that Brighton will give Manchester City a tough time even if Manchester City win the game at the end, and It will also not be a surprise if Brighton is lucky to win the game at the end, because in this kind of match anything can happen, despite the fact that Brighton does not have a quality squad like Manchester City.

Regarding Chelsea vs Arsenal, I can’t envisage Chelsea getting anything from the game. Arsenal have momentum now and that’s so important. Chelsea have players that could hurt Arsenal but they’re just a bit of a mess at the moment, unless they really raise their game, all I see is an Arsenal win.

I also think that Arsenal have better chances of winning the game than Chelsea if I should judge them based on their recent form, but the way I see Chelsea winning their two matches, I also see Chelsea finding Chelsea great, and that is why I can't easily conclude their upcoming matches against each other. So now from the both teams two games statistics the two teams are in good form,so predicting now that this is the team that will be really difficult because both arsenal and Chelsea are in winning spirit, but let's see what will happen next week. Maybe Chelsea will try to win the match because it is their home game, but my thought  that the game will end draw.

[topbitcoin]

The victory against Manchester city will be a pioneer of enthusiasm for Arsenal and indeed this is a good momentum for them, it's just that when talking about momentum then of course we know that Chelsea are also currently in a good trend after bad results they always get in the previous few matches. This will be interesting to watch even though I still feel Arsenal will be able to bring full points but this is a test for Chelsea because when they can't win at least 1 point in this match then it could be that the positive trend they have built is destroyed again.

Good trend from Chelsea? I'm satisfied with their last 3 matches but is that enough to depend on that trend, the style  and ways which they win the last one was because Burnley was a weak team, they had it the easy way and the remaining last 2 was by luck. Yes, it was luck, I will not believe Chelsea is back on track until they win Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City, those are the teams I'm looking forward to see the FT. If they can even win 2 out of that 3, then they are good to go else, Pochettino need to see the board for some key decisions.

Regardless of whether the club is a weak club or not but this victory can lift the mentality of the players including Pochettino as a coach.
Currently, Arsenal are definitely the favorites but with 3 consecutive wins owned by Chelsea this could have boosted their spirit to be able to get points in this match.
Indeed, this will be very difficult for Chelsea because Arsenal is one of the clubs that is currently likely to be a strong contender for the championship if you look at its performance in the last 2 seasons but besides that we also cannot rule out the fact that Chelsea with their new formation can make a surprise especially if Sterling plays well like last week.
