Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

It is very difficult for Rasmus Hojlund to develop in a team that is in decline like Manchester United, the Manchester United team's game is not very supportive in all lines so it is very difficult for the attackers to be able to develop or show quality because of the lack of ball supply from the midfield.

How can you say that Manchester United played well? Isn't it clear that Manchester United's game was very messy without any good schemes, they only had a few chances at the start of the first half and the rest they couldn't develop the team's game at all.
Manchester United was clearly behind on all fronts and even the match between these two teams seemed like the two teams had significant differences so Manchester United had to concede 3 goals.

Hojlund needs an adaptation process to truly adapt to Man United's game. In this case, I think this is normal because not all new players who are brought in are immediately suitable. For example, when Darwin Nunez was brought to Anfield, many criticized him because he was deemed not to suit Jurgen Klopp's playing style. But as time goes by, the process will provide answers. So this applies to Hojlund where he has to be a little patient, of course the process he is going through will attract criticism from fans. It depends on how Hojlund takes it with accomplishment or surrender. Being at a big club like Man United is not an easy thing, as a club with the biggest fans this risk will always follow the Man United striker.

The defeat against Man City was a lesson and Man United players must be motivated to rise from adversity. There is still quite a long way to go and I am sure that one day Man United will return to its ideal point as a stable club.

When Liverpool bought Darwin Núñez from Benfica in 2022, they were expecting to see an amazing performance from this player and Darwin Núñez disappointed everyone with the poor performance he had in Liverpool and that's why the fans were unhappy and they were even asked the team to sell this player and now in the recent game Liverpool they had against Nottingham Forest he scored a goal and had a good performance to decrease the pressure in himself.

What a difficult situation Chelsea have at the moment, and for the next few matches in the Premier League too of course. Because anyway, after Chelsea lost at home in yesterday match against Brentford with a score of 0-2, in fact Chelsea next matches will play against Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United. Although for example Chelsea failed to win but indeed, Chelsea will not fall into the relegation zone. But clearly, if in that matches Chelsea failed to win, then Chelsea position in the Premier League standings would be closer to the relegation zone.

Well, it's indeed a very difficult situation for Chelsea honestly, for I also do not see any chance of possibility that Chelsea will beat any of those teams or clubs you mentioned, is it Tottenham, or Manchester city, or Newcastle, or Brighton? Infact, the only team or club that I think Chelsea might have a chance of winning or holding to a draw is Manchester united, but this is if they prepare very well and play their best game.

Anyways, this is something I have expected from right from the beginning of this season, we all know that Chelsea started off this season by first playing against clubs that seem smaller and easy to beat, and this is why they are even up where they are currently. Their coming games will reveal their real position in the epl table.

But clearly, if in that matches Chelsea failed to win, then Chelsea position in the Premier League standings would be closer to the relegation zone.

In my opinion after seeing them lose at home from Brentford yesterday, It is indeed difficult for Chelsea to get full points when looking at their next opponent. Against Tottenham and Man City, we can already guess from now on that it is very likely that Pochettino squad will lose points again. Against Newcastle and Brighton, maybe the Blues can target a draw, next against Man United I think Ten Hag squad is still a little better than Chelsea. Overall I agree with you that this is the most difficult period Pochettino has faced, and I think they are on the brink of decline.

Regarding the degradation zone, I am still optimistic that they will not enter it, because however the club officials will take a firm stance before that actually happens, I mean Pochettino will be fired if the club is heading towards degradation. On the other hand, with their absence from European competitions, they should be able to perform better because they only focus on domestic competitions, but it seems that this cannot be realized in the near future.

 The Manchester derby is really not that fun to watch from my own point of view, because from the way things are going especially for the United side, they're not match for the Citizens at all, they can't even make it hard for Man City to get a goal. Manchester United lack so much in that team that even the coach Erik ten Hag can't find a way to figure out how to solve the problem.
 If Man UTD continue like this I feel the Manchester derby won't be that fun and exciting to watch rather it would be the North London derby (Arsenal vs Tottenham) that would be one of the biggest in the EPL, because to me Pep have conquered that bragging right, the Citizens owns Manchester.

Chelsea was lucky enough to see a draw when they played Arsenal. I wont surprise that they might get a win from Manchester United. The performance of Manchester is more terrible than that of Chelsea. With the performance I saws yesterday from Man U, definitely Chelsea will win them. But the November games will be very heartbreaking when the result will come out. Man City will surely win Chelsea, Newcastle will win, Brighton will definitely win Chelsea.

After all these games have been played we might see Chelsea down at almost 15 or 16th position in the EPL table. Am not surprised that Man United might even win Chelsea. The both teams this season are facing challenges the hope of Champions League next season should be out from their  mind.

Chelsea's performance was very inconsistent. In the 3 matches before they played Brentford, Chelsea had quite good results and their performance seemed to have improved. So it was quite surprising to see them lose against Brentford, especially when they were playing at home. Chelsea actually had several good opportunities that could have turned into goals, but unfortunately, their finishing touch was not good.

What makes you feel that Chelsea will beat Man United, is it because Man United are not in a good form, but you should also know that Man United is performing better than Chelsea this season, no matter the poor result and performance that Man United is having this season. However, I might still say that you are right because the two clubs are birds of the same feather this season. Surely, Chelsea has several difficult matches back to back, that they might not win any of them. Chelsea is fading off gradually and if something is not done to revive the club with might not have confidence in Chelsea anymore and they might be like other small clubs in EPL.

[Leviathan.007]

The defeat suffered by Man United is the responsibility of everyone. What's clear is that their game was very bad and Man United could not improve their rhythm. The strategy and composition of players chosen by Ten Hag do not seem to be successful in facing Man City and I think their game actually looks chaotic. So it's not surprising that Man City can win easily against Man United.

Manchester United have weak mentality even they have good players. If they can not improve mentality of players, they will have more issues in real match. Marcus Rashford is an example, his performances and confidence between the last season and this one is very different. In this season, he lost his confidence and even felt fearful when he was given chances to shot.

It is different than past season when Marcus Rashford scored 17 goals in Premier League and 30 goals totally for Manchester United. In this season, he only scored one goal so far and many situations, we saw he did not shoot but pass the ball to his team mates and wasted great opportunities.

I agree with you. In fact, whenever a team loses some games and they are under pressure, they can't have a good performance even if they have all the tools for it. However Manchester United didn't have the good players to beat Manchester City in this weak but as you said they are mentally weak and even if they get the good players and coaches still Manchester United need more time to get back in the good form and this won't happen soon in this season as I can see from them.

[Bananington]

What makes you feel that Chelsea will beat Man United, is it because Man United are not in a good form, but you should also know that Man United is performing better than Chelsea this season, no matter the poor result and performance that Man United is having this season.

Chelsea can play well, and sides their goalkeeper who may occasionally make mistakes, and the goal scorers who miss more goals than they score, they should be able to defeat Manchester United. Onana has improved for Manchester United, Including Harry Maguire, the major problem that Manchester United have right now is their midfield that they have not been able to fix even after bringing Amrabat. Chelsea are not very good with comebacks after conceding goals and if both teams play and Manchester United score first then it would be a difficult one for Chelsea. If Chelsea score first, they wills till not be save because they are not still very good with stopping teams from scoring.

[TelolettOm]

Compared to the last season, Manchester City's performance this season is very slow. Two very important midfield players are missing from the squad. Gundogan is out and De Bruyne is out with the squad due to injury. And this is why Manchester City is not able to show strong dominance this season like last season.

Yes, Man City performance is decreasing a bit, they no longer can play as consistent as in the previous season. From 10 matches they played in EPL, they already got 2 losses. It is quite surprising that they can be defeated by Wolves and Arsenal in the early of this season. Everyone must think Man City should win against them, Man City is the champion of EPL last season. But losing those 2 important midfielders (De Bruyne & Gundogan), makes Man City no longer as strong as previously. Moreover, when Man City was defeated by Wolves, Rodri was also unavailable due to injury problem. Well, Man City has a serious problem for the midfield line now.

City's performance against Manchester United was very composed. Guardiola knew Manchester United's weaknesses very well. And accordingly he developed his match strategy. So Manchester City won't have any problem to win this match. Manchester City won by 3-0

When they played against Man United, Rodri has returned from the injury. Man City midfield line becomes a bit stronger, meanwhile Man United has no Casemiro on their lineup. Losing Casemiro makes Man United midfield be weaker, so Man City attackers can be easier to destroy their defense. Man City really dominated the match, they won the ball possessions above 60%. Finally, Man City won the match with 3 goals, it was an easy match for Man City.

[Litzki1990]

In yesterday's match I won't blame anyone, even Rasmus Hojlund gave a very good performance, it's just that Manchester United doesn't seem ready to compete competitively with other big clubs and that all because in terms of players, Manchester United and Manchester City are very different from In terms of talent quality, it is so different that I would understand Manchester United lost against City.
After that, Manchester City back to better, even though previously almost had a bad trend when lost twice at that time and now starting to show its strong performance again to continue chasing Tottenham points and soon dominate the Premier League to become leaders in this league.

Manchester City’s two time loss was just a fracture that they’ve healed from and I know they will come over it very soon and dominate the premier league back again. Manchester City are back on top form and I won’t be surprised if they continue this trend for a long time to come. At the moment, they are of a better chance of winning the title this season alongside Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. I will call their two loss a correction to them and be more prepared for the task ahead of them. Tottenham Hotspur are showing a great performance now and if they continue this form it will be easier for them to compete for the premier league title. Son have shown good performances and he is taking the team on the frontline to win more games for them. He is indeed a striker to depend on and deliver his task successfully.

Though Manchester City comfortably defeated Manchester United in the latter's home ground yesterday but that doesn't mean that the current English Premier League champions are back to their best as a lot of people are already thinking.
Since the club's captain Kelvin De Bruyne got injured, the club has struggled to perform well exceptionally well like they've been doing in the past three seasons. They  won against Manchester United because United played that game like the had already conceded defeat even before the start of the match. It was a good result for the Citizens to keep them in strong position to continue their forth consecutive title chase but I don't think they're back to their best at the moment.

Manchester City vs Manchester United match was easy to predict before the match started considering the performance of both teams. We can easily say that Manchester City will win against Manchester United because Manchester City is performing much better than Manchester United this season. Manchester City have lost some key players due to injuries but they are not performing at all badly as they did last season and they are doing the same this season. Manchester United and Manchester City used to have a tough competition between these two teams but that competition has been reduced a lot on the part of Manchester United due to which we don't see much excitement in the match between these two teams.

Because anyway, after Chelsea lost at home in yesterday match against Brentford with a score of 0-2, in fact Chelsea next matches will play against Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United. Although for example Chelsea failed to win but indeed, Chelsea will not fall into the relegation zone. But clearly, if in that matches Chelsea failed to win, then Chelsea position in the Premier League standings would be closer to the relegation zone.

Chelsea still have many things to acquire before they will begin to act in a perfect way like other potential teams that are very good in this premier league competition and other competitions just to keep their fans in good mood. If Brentford can beat Chelsea 0:2 in their home without allowed their new strikers they signed in with huge amount of money to secure a single goal from the first half and the second half, show that Tottenham Hotspur will still beat Chelsea in their next game because they will do everything possible within their skills to maintain their winning habits to use home advantage to win Chelsea.

I guess there is an opportunity for Manchester united to correct their errors from their next game because, they have what it takes to take a good advantage in this game to beat Brighton 1:3 to increase their points and to make their fans happy again.

Though Manchester City comfortably defeated Manchester United in the latter's home ground yesterday but that doesn't mean that the current English Premier League champions are back to their best as a lot of people are already thinking.
Since the club's captain Kelvin De Bruyne got injured, the club has struggled to perform well exceptionally well like they've been doing in the past three seasons.

Manchester played freely yesterday, De Bruyne's absence did not have any effect on the match. Manchester City has not really been stable since De Bruyne went on injury. When Manchester City played against Brighton, Akanji received a red card in  the match. I was thinking that DeBruyne and Akanji being absent in the match would have a very great effect on the match. Manchester City will find it difficult to win Manchester United, but yesterday's match was just too easy for Manchester City. Manchester United's performance was just too poor in the match, they shouldn't have conceded three goals in the match. Manchester United's defense was too weak in the match.

You shall need to wait a few years to make sure manchester united will be making some huge improvements in the club. In fact, manchester united has been facing setback since a few years ago. The progress was not even moving forward.
Manchester united was always failed in getting the right coach since sir alex has gone. Manchester united was only good when sir alex was coaching the club but since he was no there anymore and the situation is very different.,
Manchester united seemed lost its credibility as one of big club in the EPL. Chelsea also have the same problem like manchester united at this moment. These clubs lost their true identity since the new owners were taking the clubs.

Chelsea has also become one of strongest team in europe under russian billinaire but everything changed 180 degree once abramovich was selling chelsea.
The new owned has also strong ego. He was only destroying the club even worst with any of his decision.

~Snip~

From time to time players can perform poorly and that's understandable, but since the start of the season we've seen a tactical weakness in the team and a lack of goals. Both in European games and in the league United have really struggled to find goals rather than moving the ball forward. Ten Hag is the one who has to solve this problem as soon as possible. If the team continues like this for a few more games I think Ten Hag should be sacked. I think this defeat is not because of the players but because of the manager. If you can't show any power against your opponent in derbies like this you have to look for the blame in yourself.

Ten Hag is like a coach with poor experience and poor strategy in dealing with Manchester United, even though he brought in several experienced players at the start of the season, Manchester United is still not able to show its best performance. He is the first person responsible for the current condition of Manchester United.
Manchester United management needs to reconsider Ten Hag's status as head coach of Manchester United, so far he has not been able to fulfill hopes of making Manchester United compete again in the top four. In my opinion, there is no reason to keep Ten Hag any longer if Manchester United does not immediately recover, the coach's dismissal must be done immediately before it is too late.

In my opinion, instead of being patient with him for 1-2 more games, a new manager should be brought in immediately. The new manager will probably have 2-3 weeks to get used to the new manager, so the sooner a decision is taken, the better it will be for the team. I think the fans also think that he should be replaced as soon as possible. They will be out of the championship race early this season. Now, when they still have a chance to be in the race, an early change may save their lives.

Since the last few years the Manchester Derby has become less interesting, the tension in the game has begun to decrease due to the quality of Manchester United not being equal to the quality of Manchester City. Yesterday before the match started, it was predictable who would win the Derby this time, the results were in line with predictions. Even though Manchester United plays at their home ground, they are not the top team because their performance has been inconsistent so far.
I prefer watching the Arsenal vs Manchester City match because the match will produce excitement and tension that can provide enjoyment for the audience. The Manchester Derby is like the Turin Derby, only one team always dominates the Derby.

[Velvet78]

There is a really lovely competition among Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool respectively in the standings. Aston Villa are also trying to keep up with these four teams and they have done pretty good about that so far. Emery is managing Aston Villa really great and I don't actually remember him having a poor season with any team for a long time.

However they are having struggles in big away games so far. They actually beat Chelsea but Chelsea were having a really hard time back then. Liverpool and Newcastle destroyed Aston Villa. However if they keep up a consistent form in general -just as they are doing now- they can be competitive for top 5 at worst.

Finally, Man City won the match with 3 goals, it was an easy match for Man City.

It may be a bit unfair to expect Manchester City to perform as superiorly as last season. They were a very good team in every sense last season and it is not easy for them to do this every season. There is a slight decline in terms of play in the team this season, but I think this is very normal. We are still at the beginning of the league and they do not need to push too much.

As they progress in the Champions League, they will show their opponents that they are a better team. I think they are in a bit of a recovery phase right now and will soon return to their dominant game like last season.

They did not have much difficulty in the Manchester United match. Manchester United is a team far behind City in terms of quality. Therefore, it is very normal for the match to end with this score.

However if they keep up a consistent form in general -just as they are doing now- they can be competitive for top 5 at worst.

Yeah the point race still continues it's just that we did not expect that Tottenham was leading because before we thought Tottenham was unable to compete even out of the top 5 but what we think is wrong, whereas Arsenal and Manchester City have been the main competitors since the last 2 seasons so it's not surprised if they are there. Regarding Aston Villa, this team looks more aggressive they are the team with the most goals 26 goals in 10 matches means 2.6 goals in each match but strangely we did not see one of the Aston Villa players on the top score list, really strange right their weakness is in defense when fighting a strong team they conceded more often.

Aston Villa without doubt has been very impressive in the English Premier League since the start of the season but I don't see them as a serious contender for the league title and that's because of the quality of players in the club. Apart from the fact that they have a world class striker like Ollie Watkins who's been scoring goals for fun this season, they don't have the quality of players like the top four clubs in the league table to challenge for the league title.
With what we've seen so far this season, I think the battle for who wins the English Premier League title is between the top four teams in the league standings.
