Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Oluwa-btc]

Later learnt that Tottenham played with just 9 players as two of their players unfortunately got suspended from the match due to them being awarded a red card, I must say that it was a very unfortunate match for spurs, and Chelsea I believe can not boost of deserving the win they got from that match, it is just luck that decided to smile on them that day, and Chelsea fans who are truly sensible should know this already and not boost.

To be fair, it is Spurs' problem if their players are indisciplined to receive two red cards in one game and it is no business of Chelsea. The thing is, i personally think Spurs would have beaten them if Romero and Udogie were not sent off (but we'd never know what would have happened), but i would not call it luck on the part of Chelsea, they got the job done as expected.

Having said that, what i didn't see from Chelsea is any sort of resurgence, even when they had the two man advantage, they were not moving the ball so well, and they didn't control the game as i expected them to do with the advantage they had, yes they won 4-1, but the scoreline somewhat doesn't tell the true picture and i don't think they stand a chance against City on Sunday.

Beautiful Analysis, you know how to watch football without bias.

Tottenham Hotspur should have won if not for the double man carded. The first few minutes of the game made me count the total number of players playing for Tottenham Hotspur. They pressured and pressed high which caused Chelsea to lose total control of the ball . It's almost like karma to me, Tottenham Hotspur also did win with two man down against the reds? ( Liverpool ?)

Chelsea found it difficult to break the defense of Tottenham Hotspur with eight man and whenever done, Vicario was always there to make shocking saves I would think will lead to goal. They was lucky the equalizer from Eric Dier was ruled offside 
I felt Tottenham Hotspur woulda drawn the game to take home a point since the double red card denied em the game and three points. On paper and form, they should've won. But, it's football, Props to blues.
Can we see a good game from Pochetino and Chelsea against City? Jackson was feeling high, let's watch him do same against then citizens. Off course they can't!

Mind you that Chelsea are in tenth position and they have only 15 points from 11 games which is a poor return for a club like Chelsea, they have also won only 4 games in ths EPL this season. Spurs would never have lost that game, but they went two men down and had to play for over 40 minutes with just 9 players, they also had a couple of injuries to important players. I don't think Chelsea are resurgent, neither are they improving, and if their fans think they are flying right now, they'd be brought back to earth when they face City this Sunday.

Chelsea hasn't changed even though they have signed an experienced manager like Pochettino. Their performance has not been consistent at all and it is true that their condition has been in a slump so far. Chelsea has changed coaches over the last two seasons, but this has not been able to make them recover and show good performance.

This week things will be very difficult for Chelsea. Manchester City, who are in their best form, will be very difficult to beat and I really believe Manchester City will maintain their position with a win. Chelsea is playing at home, but their probability of winning is very low which means there is a high possibility that Chelsea can be beaten due to the depth of the squad and their poor performance.

[Docnaster]

I'm not surprised to watch the Blues defeats Tottenham Hotspur and breaking their unbeaten run in EPL this season. Chelsea are in possession with alot if potentials, one of which is picking incredible form against elite teams this season. Mauricio Pochettino is incharge and have been the core figure responsible to lifts the team's performance and standards in league positions.

I don't think Chelsea are resurgent, neither are they improving, and if their fans think they are flying right now, they'd be brought back to earth when they face City this Sunday.

With what Chelsea players has showcased so far in some games show that Chelsea have a long way to go in the premier league competition before they will begin to come close to 5th position or 4th position because, their performance in this summer is not constant compare to what Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester city, Arsenal and Liverpool are displaying in this summer which is the evidence any strong team that is well prepared can display.

 
I don't think Chelsea can beat Manchester city in their next game because, Manchester city case is different from Tottenham Hotspur which Manchester city players will not allow Chelsea players to breath well until they secure victory from them to win the 3 points from the game which is possible for team like Manchester city.

Chelsea has been very inconsistent this season and are yet to show any sign of becoming a top English Premier League club once again. With the poor results we've seen from them this season, I don't think they're capable enough to finish the season in any position better than 6th in the league table.
They play against Manchester City this weekend in a game that'll see Cole Palmer face his boyhood club for the first time in his career but considering Manchester City's current performance,  I think they're gonna pick all three points from that game.

However, Chelsea's victory at Spurs' home last week was undeniable luck and for any consistent team when faced with the situation of losing 2 players due to red cards, it would certainly be difficult to maintain their existing performance. Chelsea are still one of the worst teams this season and even though they managed to break into the top 10 of the standings, that won't be enough if they experience difficulties again in the next few matches. Pochettino must maintain the results obtained so far in order to be an additional value worth fighting for in the next match and if not it will be another lackluster result from Chelsea.

Manchester City are going to be fully set for Chelsea, because of the recent activeness of the club against strong teams like Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur which Chelsea really played an excellent game, Manchester city will no tolerate any mess with Chelsea, this match is going to be tough, Chelsea are the one hosting the match at Stamford Bridge and they will not like to be disgrace at home by Manchester City and Manchester City really need to collect this 3 points, for Manchester City to loss this match is going to be a disaster for the because they will move away from the first place on table. There is going to be war between Chelsea and Manchester City.

You could say that Chelsea success was just luck, I also see it that way and don't think that this victory will have an impact on their next match against Manchester City. Even though they will be playing at home, many doubt that Pochettino squad will be able to create a surprise by beating City. If luck will be on their side again that's a different story, but on paper I think Pep Guardiola squad deserves to be at the top.

Ups and downs in performance are a very natural thing, and Chelsea experienced difficult times when Pochettino took over as coach with more defeats. Chelsea have lost 18 points from 11 matches, and have a 12 point gap with City at the top of the standings. I assume they are just chasing tickets to the Europa League it seems, because that's the most realistic for now.

[EarnOnVictor]

People expected an easy win for Tottenham in the match, everyone was surprised to see Chelsea win the match. I know the red card affected Tottenham, but even without the red card, I am sure the match may end in a draw. We all notice that when Chelsea are playing against a strong team, they are always playing well, so I expected a draw from the match before it started, but since Tottenham had two red cards, Chelsea took advantage of the red card, and they were able to secure three points in the match. I always have confidence in Chelsea when playing against strong teams. I know if they can’t win, they will be able to draw, but when playing against weaker teams, I do believe that anything can happen.
 
Chelsea's next match will be against Manchester City. I am expecting Chelsea to perform well in the match, but as we can see, Manchester City is not a club that you will toy with. I won’t be surprised if Manchester City wins the match, but it won’t be with much goal difference. I don’t think Chelsea will be able to win or draw the match.

Chelsea's victory over Tottenham cannot be used as a complete reference that they have marked a turning point in performance, I agree with you that Man City is difficult to beat even though Pochettino squad is high in confidence. It's true that Chelsea is still an elite team in the EPL, we can't just call it bad because they've been inconsistent all this time, it's clear they can create a lot of surprises. However, if the Blues succeed in beating Man City at Stamford Bridge, then Pep squad strength this season is questionable.

If Chelsea play well then the best result they can achieve is a draw, it would take a bit of a miracle to make Pep Guardiola disappointed with his team. However, we cannot possibly forget that Man City have also lost so far, so anything can happen.

Chelsea are full of surprises but at this time I don't expect any surprise between them and Manchester City, even against them and Tottenham Hotspur the only took the advantage of two red cards and get motivated to score goals, but Manchester City are different from Tottenham that they played nine against eleven with, so their victory in the match can not justify the next match. I quite agree with you that if really Chelsea perform they may end draw but right now Chelsea to win Manchester City who currently on the top of the table and also one of the strongest team in English Premier league with the highest goal scorer this season, I will not said anything folder let just wait for tomorrow and see whether Chelsea will perform miracle and win or Manchester City will win.

There's no controversy about it, Man City is the best team presently in the EPL and I don't think any club would be able to surmount them for a while. This is not because they are unbeatable but because they just realized their mistakes and are trying to get better, so any club they meet now either big or small would be devoured, that's the spirit. If you agree with me, they were not as expected in performance when played with Wolves and Arsenals, and each goal scored against them was surely felt more.

But ever since Arsenal's match, they've been better serious with both local and UCL competitions. I can't say much for Chelsea in the EPL as it's clear that they are a mess, though they are improving recently but certainly not a viable competitor of Man City even at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal played really bad against Newcastle on the previous game week. It caused them to lose the game as well. They already had some games in which they played really badly even though they won those ones. However I believe we will see some progress this week. They should be able to win against Burnley home comfortably.

I saw them really solid against Sevilla last night by the way. They completely dominated the game in Emirates and won by 2-0 easily. This should be a good sign for their future games in the Premier League as well. The interesting thing is the recent games between Arsenal and Burnley ended up with close scores. Maybe this would be the one things change. 

I don't think the game against Sevilla is an indicator of anything. Sevilla after 11 games has 11 points in La Liga and this is an extremely low figure for any league and especially for La Liga. But I also expect a big victory over Burnley since this team scores the worst in the Premier League and concedes almost 3 goals per game on average. Arsenal must crush it.

Of course, Arsenal will play a very good game in tomorrow's match, their opponent is quite weak and they are at the bottom of the league, no one has any expectations from them and Arsenal will not make mistakes such as losing points or scoring few goals in a match. I think they will win the match quite easily by scoring 3-4 goals.
They needs to recover and show how good the team is. Matches against such weak teams are a good opportunity to do this

Manchester United lost all ground. Everything has been wasted, time and effort, but I don’t understand why! Rather, it’s all a waste of time and energy for the fans.
As for me, this is the end of the history of a good and successful club..

If you say that about a club called Manchester United, what about the clubs that are in the relegation zone until now, especially in the Premier League? I don't think it's appropriate to say that every club is just wasting time and energy, because as long as every club can still struggle through their matches and the way they play in this ongoing season. So there is nothing wrong with that, even though the results are not as expected by the fans themselves, because giving up to conditions and circumstances is more embarrassing than bad results after struggling.

It's too early to talk about Man United being in the relegation zone, the league is still long and anything can still happen. Indeed, currently Man United is in a downturn, not only in the EPL league, even in the UCl League they are in a slump. After all, every club has been in a down situation like this, it's just that there are clubs that can recover in a short time. This is different from Man United, where the problems they face are very complex, starting with management, managers and fans being in the spotlight. But I'm sure Man United will recover in the near future. They just need time besides that there are still many players who are injured.

I believe all coaches are great and have been proven at previous clubs, it's just that the atmosphere and style of play in each league is different, you need to keep trying and a little luck.

I don't think Chelsea has recovered from their downturn after winning over Tottenham, the match summary notes that Tottenham had to play with 9 players after two of their players received red cards. Chelsea's first goal came from a foul by Christian Romero which made the match 1-1. Chelsea increasingly had the upper hand after the referee issued a second red card to a Tottenham player, they were able to control the match more easily after Tottenham were two players short.
This victory is at least a motivation for Chelsea players when facing Manchester City, but Chelsea's performance is still unstable, meaning they will experience difficulties when facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

This week things will be very difficult for Chelsea. Manchester City, who are in their best form, will be very difficult to beat and I really believe Manchester City will maintain their position with a win. Chelsea is playing at home, but their probability of winning is very low which means there is a high possibility that Chelsea can be beaten due to the depth of the squad and their poor performance.

This fixture is going to be an interesting one. Both teams head into the game in contrasting places. Manchester City are top of the Premier League, winning nine of their 11 matches this season. While Chelsea have struggled to find their form and they’re, currently 10th on the EPL table with 15 points from 11 games so far. However, Chelsea will be approaching this particular game with a morale-boosting 4-1 win against Tottenham. Many will be writing off Chelsea as they see Manchester city as the better team but I don’t think Chelsea will have an underdog mentality heading into a tricky fixture. I have noticed something about Chelsea when they face top teams this season. They tend to play better compared to how they fare against mid teams. Despite their ups and downs this season, they somehow managed to played out a draw against Liverpool and Arsenal and beat Tottenham. Now they face Manchester city and somehow I feel they might still be lucky and get a point in this particular game too.
This is football and anything is possible.

Well, it looks like we don't have to have too high hopes for Chelsea's performance in the upcoming match. Moreover, we know who they will face. Well it is Man City who have defended the title in several seasons and were also champions in the Champions League last season. I can't imagine that Man City will lose to Chelsea in the next match. Even though Chelsea will play in front of their own supporters. But this will not be an obstacle for Man City to beat Chelsea. Maybe if Chelsea could just hold Man City to a draw, that would be considered quite a good achievement, I think.

In the match against Tottenham, everything was indeed unbalanced. Because Tottenham only played with 9 players after 2 of their players received red cards. But in the early minutes I also admitted that Chelsea had cornered Tottenham. But I'm not sure their performance has returned to the best performance they had. But let's see how it turns out.

If Tottenham still played with 11 players then of course, Chelsea would not have won like that. After all, in reality Tottenham also managed to score a quick goal in the 6th minute through Kulusevski and then, Tottenham only played with 10 players and scored the equalizer through a penalty kick for Chelsea. Also in fact, in the second half even though Tottenham only played with 10 players, but Chelsea were also unable to score a quick goal. Until finally, in the 55th minute Destiny Udogie received a red card, and Tottenham only played with 9 players. But even though Tottenham played with only 9 players, but in reality Chelsea still needed time to score three goals and yes, Chelsea three goals were just created in the 75th minute. With these factors, I think it is still not enough for Chelsea to be said to have improved their performance. because after all, Chelsea still had to work hard to beat Tottenham, even though Tottenham only played with 9 players.

Chelsea and Manchester United have had bad luck this season in the Premier League. I don't expect Manchester United to be one of them, but considering how easily they are beaten by other teams then I think I have to admit that they won't be any better than last season.

Ten Hag somehow seems unable to change much to improve the team's performance. He is unable to compete with many other teams, where this season Manchester United has suffered 5 defeats from 11 matches. There is nothing special about them other than Maguire's improved form and the poor performance of many other players, it just hurts them as a whole. About Manchester City, they are the strongest and best team so far. There is no doubt about them based on statistics even though they have also suffered two defeats in 11 matches so far.

Chelsea is always up and down. The identity of the club doesn't even matter when faced with this particular club, and the inconsistent performance from Chelsea has made it extremely difficult to predict the outcome for this club.
I don't wanna try to overhype this club after it was able beating totenham but let's see the fact that if chelsea was also losing previously against a middle tier club like brentford. So, the result against totenham can't really be  argued as a proof if chelsea has been back again to its best performance. Chelsea had the good fortune of not being subjected to serious fouls, thanks to the inability of certain Tottenham players to restrain themselves.
It gives opportunity for chelsea to play even better caused by it was facing a club which is playing with 9 players. Jackson was also lucky enough cuased by he was able making hatrick against 9 players.

[khiholangkang]

They have realised their mistake and try to amend it between them and Sevilla, the game was totally in favor of Arsenal, they played a very beautiful game which i am convinced and have confident in this week game between them and Burnley, since October 3th that Burnley had their win against Luton Town they have been in a loss form despite their losing Arsenal should not underestimate them because this day that lower rank club are always serious when playing with higher rank club, I expect Arsenal should score many goals as possible.

Gunners defeat against Newcastle United was planned, they had players and the strategy but couldn't install this technique against the Magpies who were seriously aggressive throughout the game. Arsenal are enlisted among the competitive teams that will go home with major trophies this season. Gunners have been really fierce in league games and Mikel Arteta having tremendous moment in the club, he deserves all the accolades when his team wins a game because it's really been a long time Arsenal performance was this outstanding.

Overall, Mikel Arteta played quite well, especially in UCL they got a very good position and also had the opportunity to get a victory until the final arrived, the match against Sevilla was very impressed, but indeed the defeat in the domestic league against Newcastle United was quite disappointing In my opinion, even though in his match The Gunners played quite nicely in playing the ball, the difference in one goal in the 64th minute by Gordon became the sole goal for the victory of Newcastle United.
There is a three -point difference to become the top of the standings in my opinion far enough in my opinion, and this will be very heavy considering the competition is quite tight and Manchester City returns to the top of the standings.

Chelsea are on the right track, but to say that they are improving is not right. the result against Tottenham Hotspurs can be deceiving for their players, it could be a good boost for their mental, but also could trigger complacency in the squad. I think poch knows that they than that to win their next games which are getting harder and harder because other teams pay attention towards Chelsea's progression.

Game against Mancity is the biggest test for Poch and Chelsea as a team to know if have they found their character as a team or just still raw. I think the result will show how far they have become.

Yesterday victory over Sevilla in the UCL group stage match started their positive trend after losing to Newcastle, and I think it will continue when they face Burnley in the EPL. On paper it is clear that Arteta squad is highly superior, especially as they will act as hosts, Burnley needs a miracle to make Arsenal stumble this time. The Gunners ambition is to return to the top of the standings while the opportunity is still open, while the opposite is felt by Kompany squad who are currently struggling to get out of the degradations zone. I agree with you, it is very likely that Burnley will lose by a lot of goals.

Chelsea will suffer if they do not change their game pattern, they should be able to reinforce their styles when it comes to scoring goals. Rating Chelsea performance in previous matches is quite easy but when it comes to elite teams, I believe they do not stand a chance because they're still building, Mauricio Pochettino have a whole lot of work to put in for the team, facing Manchester City on Sunday, that's his main test and not some random average team or winning an elite team that has two red cards. Winning Tottenham Hotspur with two man down doesn't mean they're right back on track, the Blues are yet to prove themselves to the supporters this season.
