Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Weawant]

Chelsea performed really good today I must say they were able to get the game balanced at almost all point, starting from their defense up to their front lines they were all at their best today and I enjoyed the match, although later part of the first half arsenal almost seem defensive but later came out and faced the attack as it should be, curcillela was outstanding today with his defensive play

But it didn't really sit well with me that they had to allow themselves draw after a 2-0 lead at home, I even felt Arsenal would get a win because they were really playing offensively with good strike tactics by martinelis, Saka was really covered by cucurella  today as he was all over him and not giving him any space to get a good performance today.

Delcan rice goal was real astonishing as it wasn't expected by any one, just before they could realize it the ball was already netted, personal the best goal of the game has to be mudryk's goal, coming all the way from the side and seeming like it was going over but later turned out a goal, it's a fair game for both team and they shared the points equally.

Arsenal slowly but steadily becoming a team that is unwise to celebrate against until 90 minutes is asserted by the officials. Otherwise, you might even lose the game.

That’s the conclusion for shots because, how they managed to get back into this game even with the poor performance, you will have Chelsea to thank for that.

Chelsea not taking most of there chances became the key to Arsenal’s come back. It seems Chelsea haven’t solved its issue with strikers having to convert there goal chances. Yes, the goalkeeper made a huge error in giving away that pass to Declan Rice which, he graciously and perfectly shot towards the far corner of the goal but, before that, there were several clean chances missed by Chelsea. Like the one from Jackson just as he came on… like, what was he thinking trying to dribble the goalkeeper… I saw it to be unwise because, he had the space to make better decisions.

Arteta did well with his substitute plans and that’s what makes him a good coach. See the game and knows what the game wants, then he puts a plan in motion to archive his purpose. Arsenal did the most for themselves in not having to lose this game.

Arsenal doing really good this season. Won against both Manchester clubs and coming back from 2-0 to get a point from Chelsea team was fun to watch. Chelsea had the opportunity to triple their lead but a fresh off the bench Jackson couldn't find a way to outsmart David Raya. If that goal had gone in, it would've changed the tide of the match.

It was fun to see how the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Chelsea had the opportunity to win the game in the second half, when they had numerous chances of scoring but they didn't utilize the chance and this was what didn't make them to have scored more goals before Arsenal equalize the two goals within 7 minutes in the last quarter of the match. Trosaad came from the bench to equalize the goal for his team which made them to go home with just a point. It has been four years since Chelsea won Arsenal in Emirate stadium and I was thinking that Chelsea will break that record but instead they didn't.

I am quite happy with this result, because I saw a Chelsea game that could answer the doubts pinned on them. We must know before this match takes place, not many make them as favorites, and even some are very confident saying Arsenal will win. But all that can be answered, especially after they can lead 2 goals in the first half. Entering the second half, Arsenal began to realize that this was not the Chelsea they had seen, and were lucky enough when they could equalize to make the match end with a draw.

Full-time is 2-2 draw on the scoresheet. I was expecting a thrilling victory from the Blues but they messed everything up, not able to utilized their golden opportunities into goals, I lost count of the numerous golden chances created by Chelsea players, failed to convert most of them to goal. An epic come-back for the visitors, well done Gunners. Mikel Arteta and his men did not put the visiting fans to shame, everything worked out for them in the second half. I'm highly dissapointed in Chelsea, giving us hope and at the end of the day, they ruined everything for us at Stamford Bridge.

And here i am feeling really disappointed at Arsenal for not outrightly winning the game, but allowing the game to end up in a draw, proves indeed that one man's food could another man's poison, i personally expected Arsenal to win the match, i just couldn't wait to see Arsenal take the lead in the EPL table, which is currently occupied by Manchester city after Tottenham gave up the position, though both Arsenal and Manchester city are sitting with the same point currently, A win in today's game for Arsenal would have given them points to score ahead of Manchester city and the rest of the clubs.

Anyways, football is full of uncertainties, we will be happy with the outcome of some games, and be disappointed with the outcome of some other games, this is absolutely normal, and this is what makes the sports games actually exciting.

Arsenal played too much ball so it was easy for Chelsea players to take it and apart from that Arsenal relied too much on scoring goals in the Chelsea penalty box area, and Chelsea's defense was quite tight and also very good so Arsenal had difficulty scoring goals.
Arsenal should be able and often take long-range shots like Chelsea and he fired several long-range shots and several times created opportunities. and 0-2 behind Chelsea, in my opinion it would be very difficult to catch up or even equalize if Arsenal didn't make changes because Chelsea played very well in attack and defense.

From the beginning of the game, I was not really happy when Arsenal scored, just fifteen minutes into the game Chelsea scored a penalty, and before the second half it was already two goals and D. Rice opened the first goal for Arsenal with that goal I was getting more excited with the go equality now I feel there is a chance for Arsenal to even win, and in football tales easily change, I  wished the additional time can be used for arsenal to add another goal. Chelsea actually did give Arsenal a very tough time and am even impressed with Chelsea's performance.

Against all expectations things were good for the Blues, and they achieve good result at the end which will give them good confidence because having one point against Arsenal is surely big achievement for them in this game even Arsenal done good job but still they fail to take advantage from opponent's weakness.

Mudryk having another goal which will give him good confidence for the future games even we have too much criticism for the Pochettino but still he is doing good job and now Chelsea after two away wins able to have draw against team like Arsenal which is good booster for them now they are at the 9th spot and having good chance for staying at the better spot for few more weeks if they are able to perform like this in coming games as well.

Arsenal managed to catch Chelsea
We watched a good match, both teams had good times and bad times. Although Chelsea started the match better, Arsenal drew the draw with a goal in the last minutes of the match. The goal scored by Mudryk may be the most beautiful goal of this year, I have not seen such a surprising and beautiful goal in a long time

[3meek]

Brighton didn't play badly against City... I think City would have won anyway, but a draw could have happened... Chelsea also withstood Arsenal's attacks with dignity and didn't let them earn three points... Generally it's good to see Chesley starting to play well...

[Marykeller]

Manchester city are a big team and they have quality players in every department and pep Guardiola has really done well to be able to blend the team together but we have seen they haven't really been at there best recently. Even though they haven't been super bad I believe they have the ability to do more than they are currently and that's because they are missing Kevin debruyne. He is very important for Manchester city in that defense and what he does can be hardly duplicated.

 Without a doubt, Kelvin Debruyne is a crucial player that Manchester City misses. He is a center midfielder who ensures Manchester City's victory anytime he is on the field of play. Rest certain that he will be on the field by the middle of December this year, doing what he does best: "dispensing deadly passes for Manchester City players to use to score." 

Without Kelvin Debruyne, Manchester City has been able to win roughly 6 games and lose about 2 games in Premier League matches. If I may say so, that's still a respectable record. 

Manchester City is currently in first place in the Premier League table. However, if Tottenham defeats Fulham by Monday, they revert to second place in the Premier League table. They will only stay at the top of the PL table this week if Tottenham should lose to Fulham, which is not possible

[baenschi78]

Even if it's over for Arsenal, I think they did great job just that the defense is so porous whereby Chelsea defense is solid so whatever the outcome of this match is I think Arsenal is playing an entertaining football as though winning a match is important and giving your fan a fantastic and entertaining display of talent is also a credit, so let's see how the match finally ends.

The game ended with Chelsea 2 - 2 Arsenal, that's a good result for Chelsea since it will boost the confidence of the team, otherwise gunners shouldn't be happy much although they were able to get a draw and score 2 goals in the second half.
Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester City won their games. Manchester City took again the lead along with Arsenal with 21 points temporarily of course since Spurs are supposed to win vs Fulham Monday.

Yes, Chelsea got a good result even though they were leading 2-0.
But Chelsea could not maintain this advantage well.
If Sanchez didn't make a blunder, I think Chelsea could have secured 3 points. A small mistake made by Sanchez changed the player's mentality for the worse.
This season is very interesting because 2 London teams are in the top 4 of the standings and are currently unbeaten. I don't know which team will be able to stay in the top 4 until the end of the competition?
The competition is too tight and there are always lots of surprises in the Premier League.

if Chelsea would perform like they performed against Arsenal today, in all their coming games, i trust that they might end this season in the top 4 or 5 at least, for i believe that they may end up winning most of their games, for like you, i also believe that the draw they had against Arsenal today is indeed a great achievement for them, not very many people expected Chelsea to have any chance of draw against Arsenal, not when Arsenal was able to beat the almighty Manchester city in their last encounter.

So, today's draw against Arsenal is indeed a stepping stone for Chelsea, this could be a new beginning for them if they can keep up with this same performance against other teams/clubs.

[tiCeR]

It does matter if they play at home or not. If Chelsea were to play this game away against Arsenal, I think it would almost be certain that Arsenal would win the game, but since this isn't a home game for Arsenal, I think that it is possible for Chelsea to play a better game than they would otherwise. Whether that is enough for a win for them, I don't know. But playing in front of their own fans is at least supposed to be a different atmosphere for them that should help them to put more effort into that game.

Play home or away its not really difference atmosphere for Chelsea because last winning match from away when defeating Burnley, but Arsenal opponent is difference than Burnley with consistency performance and they have more confidence after last match before international break out success beaten defending champion of Premier League teams Manchester City.
Otherwise, Arsenal have more motivate take first position standings from other London team Tottenham Hotspur, have the same points with lack goals productive I think three points against Chelsea will move to the first position place for awhile due Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham will play on Tuesday.

It is a difference and everyone who plays football or anything else knows that playing at home can make a hell of a difference. No single statistic that is not focusing on outliers will confirm that. Of course there are times when a team wins a few more games away than at home for a certain period. But if you look at any scientific investigation across all kinds of sports or statistical analysis specifically for the Premier League, the evidence for a home advantage to exist is significant.
You can check out this website and choose the statistics for different seasons, but there are also plenty of other websites that offer a great overview of the home advantage.

Manchester united might have scored the 1st goal but they're not really performing well against Sheffield United, a team that's I'm the Champions League shouldn't be performing poorly against Sheffield United, I don't understand why their players would be doing very well in their country matches and even score goals and give assists but find it difficult to perform like that in the league matches, they're still very wrong in their decision making they barely understand themselves on the pitch and always give wrong passes.

 The game is currently 1-1 draw in the 1st half and after McTominay scored to put them In front he still carelessly gave out a penalty and if Sheffield United had very good and sharp attackers I believe they would had scored more in the 1st half cause they got many chances from  counter attack, however United would had been ahead at the 44th minutes of the game been the free kick from Bruno Fernandes hit the woodwork, it would've been a very fantastic goal.

The match ended as draw, but Chelsea played a fantastic ball today. I wasn't surprised with their performance, I was expecting a draw in the match, but most people had confidence in Arsenal to win the match due to their impressive performance this season and Chelsea's poor performance this season. But I saw improvement in Chelsea's performance, and I knew the match wouldn't really be an easy one for Arsenal. Chelsea could have won the match today, the first goal that was scored by Arsenal was caused by the Chelsea goalkeeper's error, and it motivated Arsenal, and they were able to score the second goal. If the mistake wasn't made by the goalkeeper, Chelsea would have won the match today, but a draw is also bad for them because most people weren't expecting a draw in the match.

I would have liked to see Chelsea win, they shouldnt be on 10th place in the league, for me they belong in the top 5. Today there over 75 minutes they led 2-0 and then just before the end they give the 3 points away. They also had chances for a third goal, but it should not be that today in the derby there is a winner. Chelsea had won there last 3 games, they could have won today there 4th... so close. In a week they play against Brentford, than they win again.

[Salahmu]

Arsenal managed to catch Chelsea

It was an interesting match indeed, that's actually the best match on this weeked that got the attention of almost everybody to watch, however irrespective of what I was thinking about Chelsea performance today that there performance will be very poor but they really played very well.

I never believe Chelsea will give Arsenal this tough time even by scoring first and again, they really came with enough energy on that match, however Arsenal on the other hand tried all there possible best not to lose the match but although if the Arsenal team had played the way they did on there last match against Manchester City they would have won the today's match against Chelsea but at least they manage to maintain there position on the table.

The clubs a total disaster, Manchester United players can not settle down the ball and make good ten to fifteen touches of the ball. Manchester United is such a boring side to watch.
The goal scored by Tominay was also a very big blunder that lead to it. Bruno Fernandez gave a pass too high above the chest level but glad to see Mc Tominay was there to send it home.

There's no link up play between the defenders and midfielder's all I've seen so far are irregular and passes not accurate enough. A defense of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans?
These both are not meant to play for  Manchester United.

Chelsea wasn't supposed to draw but win that match with the expected performance of their game today, possessing the game in both half's leaving arsenal with no shots on target for 75 minutes not until when Chelsea's keeper made the costly error to what I would refer to as put of overconfidence.

And it wasn't just the first goal from arsenal that gave them the momentum to start pressurizing Chelsea but rather it was the wrong substitution made by the Chelsea coach in the second half substituting Sterling, Palmer and Moudryke was the wrong decision. How do you remove a trio that have been able to distablize and constantly penetrating the arsenal defense just because you've conceded a 1 goal you opted to remove those players and bring in defender's, and that was how arsenal took advantage of the game.  Anyways, I won't deny that the game was very entertaining and both team did give in their all for the game.

If you look at their recent performance, the draw Chelsea got when they hosted Arsenal at Stamford Bridge was a fairly good achievement. Actually, Chelsea has a pretty good chance of winning this match. They had several good opportunities in the second half, but they failed to convert them into a third goal. The worst thing was the blunder made by Robert Sanchez which changed the situation and gave Arsenal a way to catch up.

I don't think Chelsea can win the match after leading 2-0 till 75 minutes of the match. They still have some strategic weaknesses. Chelsea should have made no attacking attempts in the last 20 minutes after leading 2-0. They should have played completely defensively. But we have to accept that Chelsea played very well today. Chelsea's performance has improved a lot compared to previous matches. Their performance is gradually stabilizing. Now it is up to the coach to develop a good match strategy. Then Chelsea will become stronger.

In Tonali's case, Newcastle can't use this palyer in the next games in the Premier League and this can definitely damage Newcastle because Tonali could help them in the games in the Premier League and the Champion League but the fact about Tonali and Newcastle is they don't say Tonali any salaries during the time when he is suspended and that's how Newcastle can even save some money in this game about their player Sandro Tonali.
