Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[ampere]

For unknown reasons there are targeted criticism at Maguire, is it his cost as a defender? or pure hatred vibes?
The entire Manchester united team were total shambles from start to finish. Fosu-mensah was no where to be found for the first goal, while Shaw left his marker with over 4 yards of space; meanwhile Lindelof was guilty for all 3 goals, for the first and third goal, he was bungled out of a tackle he should have won two times, and got unfortunate with a ball to hand situation.

Come on, don't tell us you are not sure why Maguire is being critised, this has nothing to do with pure hatred but rather;
1. His price tag, it does not reflect what he has so far put on table for Man United
2. How good he used to be in Leicester City and how shitty he is now in Manchester United
3. He's the captain, he's supposed to show qualities expected of any captain on the pitch, but he doesn't.

There is no doubt as regards Maguire price tag, but the 3 goals none of it were his fault; but yet he should take the blame? I don't believe so.
In my opinion, i suppose Ole exposed his players by starting them, because half of the starting 11 against Palace do not deserve their spot. Pogba recovered from covid19 barely 7 days back, maguire has also gotten back 7 days back, same with Lindelof, Bruno and Greenwood who arrived 3 days before the match, where is the match sharpness? and fitness ?

Ole takes the blame for the defeat, you cannot single out a single player for a loss because he is captain and cost 85M.

More importantly, i will feel ashamed that as a Manchester United fan in 2020, theres james and Mensah on the right flanks, so shameful because they won't be on the bench for my fifa game.

An impressive premier league campaign ahead; Lets see what happens by December (hopefully Woodward acts like a man)

It is really unfortunate that the Chelsea VS Liver Pool match at this time Andreas Christensen was hit by a red card and this will make a nightmare for Chelsea to compete with players who are less than 1 for sure this will make the balance chaotic and the game becomes harder out of control, this could be a very big advantage against livepool to score a win.

[tyz]

That's it for Chelsea and for my bet After the red card for Christensen the team lost the thread. After the 0:1 of Sane, it became clear that the balance of power has shifted strongly towards Liverpool. Now the 0:2 is the decision in my opinion.
It's a pity, until the 50th minute my bet (double chance Chelsea) seemed to work out. At least Tottenham won today.

[Smartvirus]

I knew Jose Mourinho won't settle for even a draw after losing the very first game of a new season. Now they are ready to climb up the table.

 Southampton 2-5 Tottenham

What a way to go Chelsea, losing at home, not even a draw. I just hope the score line doesn't go more than this. Losing a player on the pitch with a team like Liverpool could be so disastrous.

Chelsea 0-2 Liverpool

And counting...

[skarais]

This season I am still loyal to support Manchester City as the strongest candidate for the Premier League winner. 18 votes at once proves that I am not alone with City. Guardiola has a great chance of winning the Premier League title from Liverpool this season because throughout the season they will not compete in the Champion League. This is the best chance for him to become the best coach.

Even though they havent played a single match so far, but their inaugural match against Wolverhampton Wanderers will be proof that they are a candidate for the championship this season and I firmly believe City will win.

Meanwhile Liverpool excelled in their second match over Chelsea. Recently Chelsea failed to reduce the deficit through a penalty and the score was still 0-2 for Liverpool victory.

If Liverpool can win the first 5 matches in a row, the league is over I think.

spurs performance was so entertaining today. their counter-attack was so fast. son is on fire today. effective gaming.

with bale in their squad, I want them to play against Liverpool already lol. I can imagine how Mourinho will park the bus, lock 2-3 players, and counter-attack as fast they can. 

[BIT-BENDER]

And the champions Liverpool are not being complacent, in retaining there English premier league title.
Liverpool where better than Chelsea today the red card changed little, nice seeing thiago settling in I think he would win all mid field battle for Liverpool against any team and his passes tears defense.
Chelsea needs to give the new boys more time, maybe players that are used to the league should start like oliver girouid.

What a match that would be;
Liverpool Vs Tottenham
                  Or
Manchester Vs Tottenham

You've got my enthusiasm up for this fixtures already! Hope it comes through soon. It's gonna be a bot match, especially the second fixture.

Mane smashed the Chelsea defense in the "50 and "54 minutes (simply amazing)..  My hope for Liverpool to become the leader of the EPL standings is still very high, they are still very enthusiastic about becoming champions.  btw, tomorrow Man C vs Wolves, of course I chose Man C..

Chelsea goalkeeper had a bad day... The second goal was just a very ridiculous mistake but Mane was awesome, nice catching of the ball!
The red card in addition to a missed penalty too much for Chelsea to handle. BTW there was at least 2 other good opportunities for Liverpool to score...

I agree bad games for Chelsea, especially the many mistakes made by Chelsea players. Like the red card that Christensen got.
Then a mistake made by Kepa, created Liverpool's second goal. And lastly Jorginho failed to make a goal from a penalty. So the
conclusion is that Chelsea deserves to lose, and also this Liverpool victory is proof that Liverpool still have the opportunity to defend
the English Premier League title.

That is not true mate. Manchester City are in this seasons (2020/21) champions league, mind you that they won their appeal against the two year ban handed down by UEFA, and the CAS cleared them of all wrongdoings (except a small fine). That being said, they are still the most favorites to take the title away from Liverpool and with the depth in the team, playing in the CL should not slow them down in the epl.

If Liverpool can win the first 5 matches in a row, the league is over I think.

No, it's too early to say that.

It broken apart after the red card. Kepa has been very bad as goalkeeper for sometime now. Lampard should have let Willy Caballero play this one. Right now Chelsea are in talks with Mendy and as soon as they come down to agreement I am sure there would be no place for Kepa anymore , at least not as 1st choice goalkeeper.

Chelsea's defensive line in this match is too high forcing Kepa to play as a Sweper goalkeeper, he act like neuer but in fact his quality far below.
if Lampard is going to use this tactics against a team with high possession football it is not suitable for placing kepa in squad.
I agree if Lampard doesn't give kepa as a main goalkeeper position if his performance always inconsistent.

I do wonder though what is realistic for Arsenal this season, I think to aim for a top 4 place is the best they can achieve, even then there are definitely better teams than them in the PL.

If you keep Auby, you have a great player but let's be honest they are not going to anywhere with this roster, they are at best fine, they could be top of the table but I do not see them top 4 or anything even remotely close. They will BARELY make it to europa cup if they are lucky but that is about it, they are not going to actually do any better.

I think it'll go down with whoever that gets fewer injuries in the end and unfortunately, Arsenal usually has the most injuries amongst the top 6 ^{[for the past few seasons]}.
^{- If they get lucky on that front, they might get the last UCL spot.}

1. Arsenal trio of Aubameyang - Lacazette - Willian will be a formidable attacking force this season once those trio clicked then arsenal attacking prowess wouldn't be easy for any EPL team to curtail.

I would also add the possible rotation with Pepe and even Martinelli ^{[currently injured]}.

This defender Maguire cost them 83million lol. How they bought it? Because of English Media hype.

English players tend to cost more than what they offer in the pitch...
^{- That's been the case for a very long time (overpriced).}
Wolves vs Man City - I'm predicting a hard-fought win for Wolves.

[swogerino]

I think it looks like Liverpool is still the same machine that it was last year.They score goals easily even against strong opponents like Chelsea.I decided to bet on many draws this week but not a single draw up until now which surely is strange for a Premier League week as there are often draws here.

[Fatemablabla]

-

Yeah no draw this week till now. I have placed bet on three game this week and fortunately won all of them.

Liverpool is looking good as like last season. They are favourite to win the league now. Their scoring ability is super. Let's see what Mancity does on their first match of the season against wolves.

Defense strategies like Chelsea are still relatively weak because yesterday against Liverpool they could still be penetrated, giving Liverpool 2 points of victory, so I think Chelsea should be able to improve its strategy, especially now that they can only compete with incomplete players because of a red card incident against liverpool.

Aston Villa's big summer spend looks to have been effective - they are in 12th, with 2 games in hand on the teams in the relegation zone... a big improvement on last season.
If they can just find a way to keep getting games postponed instead of playing them, they're all set for a mid-table position.
They may have played 0, but they've also lost 0 and don't have a negative goal difference...
