Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Polkeins]

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.

It was really surprising that Arsenal could not beat Chelsea and only ended in a draw which made a lot of bettors lose in this match and I myself thought Arsenal would win this match because key players could appear on the field but I admit that Chelsea may have started to show improvement in their performance and I also agree that if Chelsea can be consistent like this it will be quite easy to get the best position in the EPL standings but lets see if in the next match Chelsea can be consistent like this or will it just change again.

On paper Arsenal certainly looked the favorite, but we must take into account the fact that before that Chelsea had a great series of 3 wins in a row and you could see how Pochettino is trying to instill in the team the spirit of a winner and not to be afraid of opponents. In this match almost everything worked out and a draw now for Chelsea does not seem to be the best result. After such a match there is confidence that Chelsea will manage to cope with the losing streak, which covered them last year. In this match they could have won if Palmer had been quicker when the Arsenal goalkeeper made a mistake, and then Sanchez made a mistake on the way out and Arsenal still managed to open the scoring and subsequently get back into the game.

From the start of the match we saw Liverpool's dominance. Liverpool played well. But winning against Everton was not an easy task for them. Because Everton played completely defensive in this match. Despite Liverpool's attacking presence, the team has struggled to score goals. All Everton players seemed to me defenders in this match. However, in the end Liverpool got a nice 2-0 win. They have been able to perform very well. Liverpool's performance is improving day by day. Liverpool are only 1 point behind Arsenal and City as a result of the win in this match. The third team in the points table is now Liverpool.

Yes, it's true, in this match Liverpool appeared very dominant and full of enthusiasm, and this victory was also very important to remain not far behind Man City and Arsenal. Now Liverpool is only one point away from them. In this match it was clear that Klopp was right about substituting players, instant impact from the bench. Liverpool's attack looked dangerous with Nunez on the pitch even though he didn't score. However, Liverpool's midfield looks less compact without Curtis Jones. Indeed, all midfielders are good but Curtis Jones will balance Liverpool's midfield.

And again, M. Salah is really an important player for Liverpool. I hope Liverpool doesn't make a mistake in retaining M. Salah and rejects the 150 million offer from the Saudi Club, because M. Salah will become one of Liverpool's legends.

I found funny how United got points this week right ? Because they have been lucky yesterday against Sheffield and it was just another game of United where you really don't know what to expect from them as they play without clear identity and vision upon the game itself.  They are 8th in EPL and I don't think they will catch top 5 before the winter break comes.

Because Sheffield's opponents without any wins in the Premier League so naturally they won and I think with a score of 1-2 a difficulty Man United striker no one can score.
I think Erik Ten Hag always has dreams about his vision but the reality is that they are difficult to handle the squad to be more stable, I think what you said is still very difficult unless there is another change where they can get points in every match.

The week with the 10th Manchester Derby will meet and Old Trafford is this match, I think Man United will be stuck points now because it is difficult to beat Man City.

Of course Liverpool performed extraordinary and made the Everton players have to build a fortress in their own defense. A quick goal after Mo Salah penalty kick made Liverpool get the full 3 points and finally they were back in 2nd place just behind Man City. Congratulations on a very entertaining match, especially in the final minutes of the second half.

What a world class play by Mudryk, he scored one more goal for Chelsea, now he scored 2 goals in Premier League, I believe he will become a top scorer and beat Haaland, Salah, Isak etc.

On a serious note, I don't understand why Pochettino need to sub Mudryk when he looks fine and had give a contribution to Chelsea.

As been expected Sanchez is nothing different with Onana, two rubbish goalkeepers.

Mudryk 2 goals came from outside the penalty box, so I hope he can continue to improve his performance with Chelsea to gradually dispel many people's doubts. Palmer opened the match with a goal from the penalty spot, although he had to fight hard with Sterling until Enzo stopped both of them. In fact, after winning by 2 goals, Chelsea was unable to maintain their victory, giving Arsenal the opportunity to equalize.
Haha will be the top scorer? yes I agree with you.

In memory of their late legend, Sir Bobby Charlton, who passed away on October 21, 2023, the Red Devils gave it their all. Manchester United plays with fervour and assurance in order to prevail. United defenders do their best work, and Sheffield United gives it their all. For his squad to win more games, Erik ten Hag needs to alter their playing style. We already know that Manchester United is going through difficult times because they are rebuilding the starting eleven. However, Andre Onana made a fantastic stop to give United a victory. It's actually Mc Tominay's finest moment.

[Jossque]

Manchester City took all three points in a tough match against Brighton. After scoring 2 goals in 20 minutes, City actually managed to break the game open from there. City managed to close the first half 2-0 ahead as the away team couldn't do much. The second away team increased the pressure a little more and scored and the match was completed 2-1. With this hard-fought victory, City took the lead with more than a game in hand.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, although the first four weeks have been bad, even if we don't count the first week, we can say that they have found it, especially in the Champions League, they are pushing their opponents very hard.

[Luzin]

Did anyone notice the climbs of Newcastle United and Manchester United?
They are climbing up on Premier League table and not far from top four. Chelsea can come back too and I think chances for West Ham and Brighton will become smaller when big clubs already warm up enough and show their best power.

Newcastle have had good match results in the last 5 matches, they have never lost. That makes Newcastle close to the top 5. This trend looks better than Man United. For Man United themselves, their statistics are still unstable. They have to work hard to get three points in the match. In the last 2 matches, McTominay has become a new force, apart from that, their striker Ramos Hojlund has also started scoring goals. There seems to be improvement, but I'm not sure Man United will easily enter the top 5.

[Roseline492]

The week with the 10th Manchester Derby will meet and Old Trafford is this match, I think Man United will be stuck points now because it is difficult to beat Man City.

Yeah Manchester United will find it very difficult to beat Manchester City because there performance last season and this season is very poor, even there goalkeeper are not helping the club.

Besides there is no way we can compare Manchester City performance and Manchester United because there is a big difference so Manchester United doesn't stand a chance against Manchester City so actually is a winning game for them.

[Leviathan.007]

There is a piece of sad news for Manchester United and it seems their defender, Luke Shaw is not going to be ready soon.
Luke Shaw got injured in the same they had against Tottenham in which Manchester United lost the game with a 2-0 result and we were expecting to see him play for his team during October but this player is still injured and can't help Manchester United for five more weeks.

-snip-
Liverpool's attack looked dangerous with Nunez on the pitch even though he didn't score. However, Liverpool's midfield looks less compact without Curtis Jones. Indeed, all midfielders are good but Curtis Jones will balance Liverpool's midfield.
-snip-

Liverpool dominated the game throughout the match. In the first and second half, Liverpool was very aggressive in attack.
It can be seen from the 1st and 2nd statistics how Liverpool players are trying to win. Liverpool took 11 shots in the first half and 15 shots in the second half.
Klopp's strategy in playing players in the attack line is often different. Only Mohamed Salah is always included in the starting XI. Others, including Nunez, are often different.

Liverpool's midfield who played in the derby match against Everton, all three were CM. None of them are DM even though all three of them can play as DM.
Compact even though Jones didn't play because he was suspended.
It wasn't Jones who played the balancing role, but Thiago and Allister.

What a world class play by Mudryk, he scored one more goal for Chelsea, now he scored 2 goals in Premier League, I believe he will become a top scorer and beat Haaland, Salah, Isak etc.

On a serious note, I don't understand why Pochettino need to sub Mudryk when he looks fine and had give a contribution to Chelsea.

As been expected Sanchez is nothing different with Onana, two rubbish goalkeepers.

Mudryk was at least coring through a difficult angle which was unpredictable. I never thought that he was able doing it. It really surprises me for sure.  

Many people are also feeling so amazing but the performance from chelsea was so garbage after sanchez was doing blunder during the second half by wrongly passing its opponent. Mudryk is slowly feeling confidence to play in EPL.

The main problem was pochettino to sub him with garbage striker who can do nothing during the second half. Jack is even a very lazy striker as this guy never helps its teammate to defend unlike sterling.

Palmer and mudryk were really showing their class despite getting draw against arsenal. It's such a huge loss for chelsea after the club was leading the game with two goals.

[Litzki1990]

I think luck is still on Arsenal's side in the 9th week of the EPL. Arsenal were two goals behind after Cole Palmer opened the scoring for Chelsea with a penalty. Chelsea increased their lead to 2-0 at the start of the second half through a goal scored by Mudryk. Arsenal who were the favorites, were able to win because of their good performance since the start of the season, making a slow start at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea immediately took advantage of this situation to put pressure on Arsenal.

I have suspected this since yesterday that's why I didn't bet on this match, Chelsea sometimes play very seriously when playing against top clubs and often create surprises, so it's not surprising if they win the match or get a draw, last night's match should have been won by Chelsea, it's just that They didn't play well in the second half so they conceded two goals and the result was a draw.

But from the results of this match, at least Chelsea and Arsenal didn't lose points because a draw means they have to share points to maintain their position so they don't fall too far. Arsenal is really the favorite in sports betting and I'm sure many people lost their bets because they favored Arsenal or Chelsea and in the end the result was a draw.  

Arsenal had a chance to win against Chelsea but in today's match Chelsea are performing much better than they usually do against Arsenal, that's why Arsenal couldn't win this match. After beating Manchester City, we expected more that Arsenal could definitely get full points against Chelsea. Chelsea is a big team in Premier League but they are performing badly at the moment. 3 points against Arsenal would not have been a surprise as Chelsea certainly have the ability to beat Arsenal. Arsenal had the chance to go back to the top of the points table with the match against Chelsea but they have achieved one point and are level on points with Manchester City in second place in the table.

Palmer and mudryk were really showing their class despite getting draw against arsenal. It's such a huge loss for chelsea after the club was leading the game with two goals.

After Mykhailo Mudryk was signed to by Chelsea earlier this year, I was of the opinion that the Ukrainian was gonna bring back the attacking flares of former Chelsea player Eden Harzard to the club abd that's because of the winger's similar playing pattern with Eden Harzard. But unfortunately for him he didn't initially show his brilliance skills at the club but have in recent weeks shown that he's capable of becoming future legends at the club.
Great to see that Mudryk is performing exceptionally well again for Chelsea and would be happy to see more improvement from Ukraine international.

Arsenal had a chance to win against Chelsea but in today's match Chelsea are performing much better than they usually do against Arsenal, that's why Arsenal couldn't win this match. After beating Manchester City, we expected more that Arsenal could definitely get full points against Chelsea. Chelsea is a big team in Premier League but they are performing badly at the moment. 3 points against Arsenal would not have been a surprise as Chelsea certainly have the ability to beat Arsenal. Arsenal had the chance to go back to the top of the points table with the match against Chelsea but they have achieved one point and are level on points with Manchester City in second place in the table.

In fact, Arsenal almost lost this match if the Chelsea goalkeeper had not made a mistake which resulted in Arsenal's second goal.
Indeed, before the match the Arsenal team was quite superior in this match, but surprisingly Chelsea performed beyond many people's expectations so they even took a 2 goal lead first.

Chelsea has really recovered, from a series of wins and being able to draw against Arsenal, in my opinion there has been a significant improvement in the Chelsea team and now I think they are worth considering.
This will be a great start for Chelsea.

There seems to be improvement, but I'm not sure Man United will easily enter the top 5.

After all, do you not realize that it has been said a lot about this moment which is still part of the beginning of the season. So of course, teams like Manchester United, Newcastle and Chelsea still have a chance to be able to improve their position to get back into the competition in the top zone inthe Premier League standing. Unless, if they still cannot improve their position until the season break later, then they will only struggle inthe middle of the standing. But anyway, the fact is that at this moment at least they managed to improve even only slowly, so of course the increase will certainly make their morale also become better to get good results in every match ahead.

An excellent performance from Chelsea but they failed to grabbed three points at home, instead they settle for lesser results. I would tender my blames to Robert Sánchez for a blunder and Jackson for throwing away golden goal chances, I'm hoping to see them bounce back in next game. My credits goes to Mykhailo Mudryk who impressed everyone with a surprised performance in the game against Gunners. He performance was brilliant and he executed the right kicks on the ball, scoring such a stunner that was unexpected, David Raya didn't see that coming, did he?

[abhiseshakana]

The week with the 10th Manchester Derby will meet and Old Trafford is this match, I think Man United will be stuck points now because it is difficult to beat Man City.

Yeah Manchester United will find it very difficult to beat Manchester City because there performance last season and this season is very poor, even there goalkeeper are not helping the club.

Besides there is no way we can compare Manchester City performance and Manchester United because there is a big difference so Manchester United doesn't stand a chance against Manchester City so actually is a winning game for them.

The match against Man City will be a tough test for Man United. Even though Man United got wins in their last 2 matches but they are not at their best yet, and I think if they lose that match, this will again worsen their mentality. In this match, I only see a very small chance for Man United to steal points from Man City. But if only they could win or at least get a draw, I think this could be a turning point for Man United to rise. That chance is very small indeed, but in football nothing is impossible.

[onecall123]

Manchester City took all three points in a tough match against Brighton. After scoring 2 goals in 20 minutes, City actually managed to break the game open from there. City managed to close the first half 2-0 ahead as the away team couldn't do much. The second away team increased the pressure a little more and scored and the match was completed 2-1. With this hard-fought victory, City took the lead with more than a game in hand.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, although the first four weeks have been bad, even if we don't count the first week, we can say that they have found it, especially in the Champions League, they are pushing their opponents very hard.

Practically, you can't beat Manchester City at the Etihad. Man City got back to winning ways as they overcame strong Brighton at the Etihad. They're back, though not as strong as they're known to be. Brighton played very well. Anyway a dramatic end to this game as Man City fell down to 10 men in extra time. No matter what, it will be hard to defeat them now.

[Nheer]

Chelsea had a decent beginning, leading by two goals, but a lack of experience in certain positions, such as Robert Sanchez's, allowed Arsenal to level the score. I believe Chelsea could have won this match if they played with more experience. They handed the game to Arsenal when Pochettino reinforced the defense while they were only ahead by one goal, which seemed quite unreasonable.

Chelsea could have have also extended the lead but they are not clinical enough in front of goal and that was why Arsenal was able to punish them and secure a point. Chelsea was excellent in midfield and defense but the goalkeeper and attackers cost them the match. Sanchez could have cleared the ball away but chose to be unfortunate, his performance was bad and couldn’t have any decent save in the match. I think pochettino should query him and make him understand he can’t keep making such mistakes.

Chelsea not been able to defend their goal at home to secure a win was really disheartening, pochettino mad a mistake when he removed plamer and other in the later part of the second half, he changed to a defensive tactics maybe to protect the two goal he had already but it was wise enough to weaken the front line and strengthen the defence, as Arsenal to advantage of the less pressure on the attack.

They were comfortable until the blunder from Sanchez, before that mistake Arsenal was not much of a threat and i even wondered how they could score but a 2-0 lead is very dangerous when the losing side gets a goal back, they would be more determined to level up and that was exactly what Arsenal did they capitalized on that goal.

He made those changes because he felt the game was secured already and it was what every reasonable coach would do when you are 2 goals up, you would want to defend it until the end. He was just unlucky to have conceded the first goal earlier.

You're right, Chelsea were too comfortable,  they got carried away by the 2-0 win, if they had defended properly and tried to add more goals I believe they would had won the game, to be honest the 2 1st half goal really killed the morale of Arsenal players but Chelsea gave them a better opportunity to score one and it lifted their team spirit that was why they were able to get a comeback draw.

 Pouchettino is really doing a good job currently but I think Chelsea's defense needs more strengthing, they should try strengthen their defense line by the January window, well the both teams put up a show yesterday and made the match so interesting, it was the toughest match of the week, Arsenal were lucky to get a draw they were the favorites but didn't quite impressed in the 1st half and conceded 2 goals well it's a London Derby so things like that are always expected.
