Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hd49728]

I like what Tuchel is thinking there. One shouldn't be happy with the arrival of goal machine like Lukaku and we have yet to see how he performs in PL. We have yet to see if arrival of Lukaku will settle their unavailability of a goal scoring striker for sure. Last year Chelsea under him did well but most of the points were lost under Lampard. Now Tuchel has nothing  binding him down to keep them out of the race. I think they have good chance to win PL in this season and it is impressive to see that he are also thinking highly of his opponents and not undermining them.

Lampard did his job well in first half of last season. He only got troubles in the second half and he was fired, then Tuchel came and revived Chelsea, brought them to top 4 and even won the Champions League. It is the second Champions League title in history of Chelsea. Tuchel already has a spot in Chelsea's Hall of Fame.

With Lukaku, Tuchel will be able to use Werner in another position, at two sides and I think Werner will be more dangerous in swings, not in central area as a striker. He has good ability to break down defense system of opponent. Tuchel needs it and goals can be from other sources, Lukaku or other midfielders of Chelsea.

Despite losing I still think that Manchester City will win the league. Their bench is worth over 300 million and their on field players are closer to a billion. No other team in the league can compete with that and they will probably add to their team before the transfer window closes.

What was the Leicester City's squad worth when they won the PL? Money and squad worth doesn't makes a team win PL. Then why play football? Might well just throw money and get the trophy lol. With money and all you can buy a squad to become a favourite to win the league but its just odds and nothing else.

Tuchel is an excellent coach who is doing an excellent job of stabilizing the club and narrowing the distance between the two Manchester clubs, but winning the title this season is not realistic, and the coach is not under any pressure either; perhaps next season, but not this season.

Yeah that's true as well. It takes time to win something but who knows maybe they go on lucky this season.

This time, Chelsea are having an away game against Arsenal this weekend. As we know, Arsenal started really badly by being defeated by Brentford. But Lacazette and Aubameyang were injured then. And their return date is still unknown. So, I see Chelsea being one step ahead in this. They should be able to win this with a 1 score difference at least.

If titles are decided on the market value of their players hehe. Did you place a bet on them to win the PL? Wait for a few more games if you haven't done so because the odds could become higher by then. They may struggle again early in the season just like what happened last year.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Why have I always admired Tuchel since becoming PSG coach, because the strategy he uses is very effective, Tuchel proved to have won
2 French League titles and also made it to the Champions League final with PSG. Actually PSG was wrong to sack Tuchel, it was proven that
Tuchel managed to give Chelsea the Champions League trophy that PSG really wanted. Now Tuchel will definitely try to win the Premier League
trophy, that's why Tuchel signed Lukaku who has done well with Inter. I believe Lukaku can contribute to Chelsea, moreover Chelsea have a lot of
good quality players, combined with Tuchel's strategy. It would be the perfect mix, so I believe Chelsea's chances of winning the Premier League
are quite big.

Chelsea were able to win the Champions League last season with the help of Tuchel's incredible match strategy without an experienced striker. Tuchel has proved his worth. His goal this season is to win the Premier League title. With Lukaku in the team, Chelsea has become stronger. If Manchester City can't sign Harry Kane, it will be easier for Chelsea to win the title. However, Manchester United is a stable enough team this season.

Nope...  They had an experienced striker, Timo Werner.  But the problem is he’s misfiring, having trouble in finding the goal.  Lol.  He prolly has one of the highest expected goals numbers in the EPL.

And imo, the person holding back Man United could be Solksjaer.  Dunno...  Maybe he proves everybody wrong and wins them the EPL or the CL this season.

Hahaha. I thought someone might remind me of Timo Werner. Do you really think he is experienced enough? If a player like Mesi Ronaldo or Neymar had such an easy chance to score as many goals as he has, he would have undoubtedly broken all the goal records. Werner missed a lot of easy opportunities. He needs to be more experienced.

True, Werner need more experience and support from the rest of the team. It's not easy being a high-level player in a team without gaining the trust and support of other players. Werner is a good player, but he needs a lot of work to get more attention at Chelsea. Compare Werner's two goal stats between Leipzig and Chelsea.

The quality of a squad is not the only thing that is important for success. The management of a team is more important than it actually. But we know that their manager is Guardiola and his system has been marvelous so far. Maybe they still haven't won the CL title. But they have been doing great in the EPL. And I agree with you on that they will still become the champions this season despite losing against Tottenham. It was already a tough match and not a surprising result. Tottenham have been beating them here for 3 games in the end.

In the match against Brentford, arsenal relied on Folarin Balogun to lead the line because they couldn't field Aubameyang and Lacazette, on both sides, arsenal put Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli and it was clear if Balogun played bad at that match, I think arsenal will also apply the same tactics the same to face chelsea and if that happens it is not impossible that arsenal will get a defeat even with a landslide score.
Reportedly in that next atch Lukaku will play and of course this will make Chelsea even more dangerous for the Arsenal defense.

With several new players joining City, it is only a normal resulys, that City still need a process to win games and made more solid team. this defeat will give guardiola a very good thing to fix the squad and formation in order to achieve the best results. It's still one game, not reflecting failure to the end. After a few games, i believe guardiola will find his best formation, and from there City will start to rise.

It is honestly looks like Chelsea is up there, they are not really there just yet, but definitely up there close to them. If they could have a great season, which some teams have time to time, look at how Leicester even won a league I mean they were not better on paper, if Chelsea has that kind of season, and one or two of the other big three has a bad season, then it is quite possible for them to fight for a title.

I know in all fairness they will not be winning anything at all, because that is what we should be expecting at a normal time. However, it is quite understandable if they do end up winning as well, it is improbable but not impossible.

I am frankly sorry for Arsenal in the upcoming match against Chelsea ... especially if Lukaku makes his debut in this game (I would even say that there is a high probability that he will become the best forward of the upcoming season). Nonetheless, wearing my signature jersey, I recall that epic Arsenal squad that broke all records and won the Premier League without losing a single match.


Edited: What kind of nonsense do I see in the news feed regarding Real Madrid's move to the Premier League? Is this technically possible?

[DU18]

Do you still remember the feud between Madrid and La Liga over the European Super League case, and also the decision by LaLiga President Javier Tebas to collaborate with CVC Capital Partners?
It seems that the feud is still going on until now and even a few days ago the president of Real madrid Florentino Perez reportedly threatened to leave the La Liga competition and wanted to join the Premier League competition.
regardless of whether the news is true or not, is it possible If a club outside of England joins the EPL competition?
And if that happens of course the competition in the English league will be even tighter.

I read posts, and it seems that people have already buried Manchester City, and no one believes in them... The season has just begun. Perhaps their first game seemed bad to people, but at the helm of Pep and, as you said, he will find the right scheme, replace players, etc. He has always solved problems, even worse than these. So believe me, the City will fight for the rest of the season.

Jesus Christ, Baeva, nothing personal but If you need to meet your quota, go posts on the figure skating thread, (or in a thread dedicated to the instagram accounts of the players' wives). Although who knows, maybe the crappy translations of the text did you good.

I'm really sorry for Arsenal in this match also. They literally have no chance against Chelsea I think. And I assume that Lukaku will start playing also. He would like to start the season with a decent performance. If he adapts quickly to the team, it wouldn't be surprising to see him scoring at least one goal. Actually, he won't be playing for Chelsea for the first time. And Tuchel is a really good manager. So, I expect Lukaku to adapt very quickly.

~snip~
The players have a lot to prove to the new manager likewise same is expected from Manchester City team been the champions of EPL.  But from expectancy we believe Harry move to mancity will be a huge bonus to fortify the team on the quest for Uefa champion league glory.

This is still a question for many people. No one knows officially, but if the reason is because he didn't enter the Line Up against City it's wrong. He's still recovering after the EURO, so he needs to rest. But I also can't say for sure it's just management reasons or Kane has no intention of defending Tottenham. Because I myself feel uncomfortable will make me angry, and I think that happened to Kane too. He will not perform optimally even if he survives, this happens because he is not one goal.

This time, Eurosport says that Real Madrid are hoping to sign PSG forward Kylian Mbappe this summer. It's true that Mbappe wants to join Real Madrid as soon as possible. But PSG don't seem like they are going to let him go now. As Messi has joined the team, they may hope that Mbappe will change his mind and extend his contract. But I don't expect Mbappe to go anywhere now.

Eurosport are a tabloid not a reliable source. Messi will not affect Mbappe's decision and when Real Madrid can afford him which they cannot right now he will leave for them. Mbappe will not be signed by any other club he has made his intentions to leave for Real madrid clear.

This match week is going to be opened with Liverpool v Burnley game. Liverpool started with a 3-0 Norwich victory. And Burnley were defeated by Brighton 1-2 home. When it comes to the head-to-head games, Liverpool couldn't defeat Burnley in Anfield in their last two games. Burnley won one of them and the other one ended in a draw. But I think this time is different. They have van Dijk also from now on. With being more powerful, I think they will break a leg against Burnley this time.

Werner is a good player, but he needs a lot of work to get more attention at Chelsea. Compare Werner's two goal stats between Leipzig and Chelsea.

It is not expected that he will score 28 goals in 34 matches in the 2020-21 season, having scored only 6 goals in 35 matches in the 2019-20 season. He has abilities. We've seen gameplay from him in the past. He can't adapt himself to this team. If we could adapt, the performance would not have deteriorated. Moreover, he needs more experience.
