Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[BuNga_cute]

Except Norwich, all of the new teams in this season have started with a win. Norwich were defeated by Liverpool 0-3. But Brentford defeated Arsenal 2-0 and Watford defeated Aston Villa 3-2. I don't know how good season Brentford will have this year. But I believe that Watford will have a really nice season. They have really qualified players in their squad. And they had a really good season in the Championship. I think that they will keep up the good work. When it comes to Norwich, I think they will have a better season than both of the other two teams. They have promoted to this league as the champions.

It's still too early to judge Norwich, Watford and Brentford for this season, because the Premier League competition has just started, and there are
still 37 more matches to play. Norwich were unlucky in the first week to face Liverpool, which is one of the champion candidates. So Norwich's
defeat is understandable, moreover, the next Norwich will also face Man City has just suffered a defeat, what is certain is that Man City will also try
to win the match when dealing with Norwich, so for Norwich there is very little chance of being able to get points in the next game. Maybe in the third
week against Leicester there is a chance for Norwich to get points, although Leicester are also not an easy team to beat.

Tottenham have registered Harry Kane for the Europa Conference League this means Kane will stay at Tottenham this season I just read the news that Kane didn't play against Man City because he wasn't fit yet and get ready to face Pacos de Ferreira in portugal later.

If a good offer comes in, it won't matter. Manchester City is preparing a bid of around €150 million to persuade Daniel Lavy to sell. City's main challenge this season is finding a striker, and Kane is a top priority for them. Kane will be removed from the Europa League conference competitions if the transfer is completed.

All offers have been rejected and when they added Kane's name to the competition list it meant there was no other way out their decision is final, this season Kane stays at TTH
I don't see another striker suitable for Man City maybe they stay with the current squad, actually the current squad is not bad most of the players are the ones who won the EPL league last season but somehow their game is bad.

Money, of course, decides everything, but it seems that this fact really cancels the deal this summer and shows the club's determination to keep the player. However, maybe this is an insidious plan from Tottenham to extract more money from Manchester City? Because the transfer window closes only on August 31, and it's probably stupid to dismiss all options when there are still two weeks left for negotiations. ЯI don't think that playing in the Conference League and winning the title in it is the limit of Kane's dreams, and it's not a fact that the stars will develop in a successful way. In any case, playing in the Conference League for a player who could participate for the title in the Champions League will obviously not add much motivation.

[kayiboyu]

It's not worth getting in shape quickly; Manchester City will get in shape over time and will win as usual. Last year it was the same and as a result, Manchester City became champions. I would call the loss of the final to Leicester a failure. I think Guardiola will focus on the Champions League this year and it's time for the team to win this tournament.

If Harry Kane goes to Manchester City, Guardiola will target the Champions League title. If Kane doesn't come, winning the Champions League will be a bit difficult. Yet when Guardiola coaches, nothing is impossible. However, it will not be possible to win the title in the Premier League if you do not play well from the beginning. Chelsea and Manchester United are very strong teams this season.

Tottenham have registered Harry Kane for the Europa Conference League this means Kane will stay at Tottenham this season I just read the news that Kane didn't play against Man City because he wasn't fit yet and get ready to face Pacos de Ferreira in portugal later.

Guardiola must evaluate players for what happened in their last 2 matches like there is a weakness in the defense

Did Tottenham really do it? Then yeah, we won't be seeing him at Manchester City this summer most probably. But I was really hoping to see him there. He is just wasting his career at Tottenham struggling to win even one title. He is a world-class striker and a team like Tottenham don't deserve him.

It does not change anything. City and anybody can still submit bids for players even though they are registered with other teams. I remember in past seasons players get transferred but cannot play for the new club in a competition because they already played for another team still in the competition.

So basically,,, registration is easy to change and only once the tournament starts it is a problem (and Conference is not where City is so also not a problem).

[gabbie2010]

Arsenal will loss again and again because they not ready with primer league, almost player success got in this season have bad quality except other club success got best star player, maybe many player not happy to accept Arsenal because not play in champion league in this season, they begin loss for the first match and Chelsea waiting for give second loss for Arsenal.

They need a proper defense line. Without it they are vulnerable and we saw how easy it was for Brentford to punish defense for their mistakes. They need a someone with leadership qualities back there also if they need to be in the race. They can get some good quality players if they try to get players who has potential. There are lot of players who are in not a good team but have good potential and are looking to move into a good league.

More team work is required the arsenal has a good game coordination but their defense happen to be their loophole. If it can be fixed in time before the season goes farther it would save the chances of having more losses. This was the primary reason the lost two goals to Brentford

Its a pity that the newly signed Ben white couldn't marshal Arsenal defence line well, he had a bad game in that encounter with Brentford, Arsenal are always woeful when it comes to set -pieces defensively, even the second goal was more like a set- piece,  this is an area Arteta need to work on, thus will stop them from conceding easy goals, possession wise the team is good, however in the absence of the duo of more experienced Abumeyang and Lacazette Arsenal attacks lack bite and ineffective, once the duo returns the team will balance.

[Cnut237]

Tottenham have registered Harry Kane for the Europa Conference League this means Kane will stay at Tottenham this season

Not necessarily. Even if he plays in the match, he will still be eligible for Man City in Europe.
It's difficult to predict an outcome here. Man City obviously want him and are willing to pay a lot of money, but Spurs want to keep him and have him under contract until 2024. Meanwhile Kane wants to leave, but won't want to alienate the Spurs fans too much in case he is forced to stay.

If Kane plays for Tottenham in Thursday’s game in Portugal, he will still be able to play for any team in the Champions League from the group stage onwards this season, as per UEFA rules.

They have promoted to this league as the champions.

Yup, Norwich is really starting with a bad schedule. But sometimes it's easier to play the top teams early on, while they are still getting into their rhythm and while new players are adapting.

Norwich was good against Liverpool, Liverpool had a bit of luck for the 1st goal and just used their quality to finish them off. But Norwich showed some good elements, based on that game alone I think there are worse teams in the league and they might be staying up.

Harry Kane is a prolific striker for spurs team be as it may, man City having him as their replacement for kun ageuro will be a boost to the team as Gabriel jesus injury spells as been detrimental to the team in previous seasons. The game will be a thrilling with or without Kane been that it is the first game for Tottenham hotspur. 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.

[acquafredda]

The challenge this season is going to be between Chelsea and Manchester United: they are the best two teams of the league, the most well equipped to win the English Premier League. If I would have to bet today i would pick Chelsea as I do not think they will be able to win the Champions League again. But as for the EPL, they are certainly the best. They were good last year and now they are even better.

I have the same opinion as you, because in my opinion both teams have a pretty good squad to win the EPL title this season, and it can even be said that Chelsea and Manchester United are the strongest candidates this season, but of course anything can happen beyond our expectations as happened in the 2015-16 season when Leicester city won the EPL.
But for the champions league competition it seems this season will be more in favor of PSG in my opinion, because we know how serious they are in the transfer market this season and the only reason they spend a lot of money is to win the champions league this season.

It seems it's still too early for us to predict who will win this season, manch city, liverpool and also tottenham hotspur and even other teams in my opinion still have the same big chance as chelsea and manch united in winning the english league this season, and i I agree, like what you said, because in football anything can happen and I think mid-season is the right time to predict who will be the champions next season.

Interesting that Tuchel does not share my judgment.
According to him, winning the Champions League and the European Super Cup are not enough for Chelsea to be considered among the main favorites to win the Premier League.
The Blues' coach in fact believes that, even with the arrival of a goal machine like Lukaku, the Londoners remain a step below other 3-4 formations in his opinion more ready to win the title.

"I see my Chelsea as the fourth force in the league, so we can't be the favorite to win the championship,"

is the German coach's comment.

"We have to reduce the gap with the top three. Last year we raised the bar and shortened this distance in every game, we want to do it again this year. The Premier is a tough league, we are the chasers and we need to get closer to Manchester City, United and Liverpool. This is the reality of things,"

said Tuchel with conviction.

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.

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.

Owners really get restless when they are not getting the results they expect. They just want to change things up as quickly as possible instead of giving anyone a further chances. Its not PSG there are many clubs who just quickly go on firing as they get some loss streaks.

Now Tuchel will definitely try to win the Premier League trophy

He should win PL IMO given how he manages the team but don't know for sure as there are other capable teams in PL as well. Also there are underdogs which makes things difficult so its a very tough campaign. x

[Pulsar77]

We have left a very awesome week behind. Majority of the biggest teams in this league started the season with nice victories.

Liverpool didn't have much problem on winning 3-0 against Norwich. It was really nice to see van Dijk starting to play again. I hope that he doesn't struggle with a serious injury anymore.

Chelsea also got an easy victory against C. Palace, 3-0. They dominated the game and deserved this win. It wasn't good to see that Werner's scoring problems are maintaining. I hope to see him better in the next games.

Manchester United obliterated Leeds, 5-1. Pogba and B. Fernandes were really amazing. Pogba got 4 assists and Fernandes made a nice hat-trick. I can't imagine a better start than this.

But Manchester City couldn't start very well. Tottenham managed to beat City here again, 1-0. They are like City's nightmare.

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.

There are teams that can win the league as well, besides Chelsea. Of course in the last game, Chelsea shows how strong and disciplined team is but it's too early to talk about a winner. The sure thing is that we will see great classes, ambiguous games, and a difficult championship until the end.

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.

[BitcoinIsAlgebraic]

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.

[tokeweed]

^  Tuchel has Pep’s number and so does Klopp.  Lol.  I don’t know why Man City is the huge favorite to win the league in the outright.  The line should be a tad closer between City, Chelsea and Liverpool imho.  Damn...  And maybe even Man United could win the league.  Don’t count Mike Phe..  I mean..  Solkjaer out.

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.

Actually PSG was wrong to sack Tuchel, it was proven that Tuchel managed to give Chelsea the Champions League trophy that PSG really wanted.

Tuchel had everything he needed at PSG to succeed, but he failed to meet club objectives. I don't know the details of his contract with PSG, but winning the Champions League was a priority for him, and he failed twice. As an ambitious club, they needed someone to make the difference. It was fine for him to be fired.

To become a champion cannot be measured only in terms of finances or the amount of money that has been spent but indeed, for now I think it is too early to talk about who will be the winner. Because of defeat at the beginning or even imperfection until the middle of the season, it is not something that promises a slump or defeat because after all we know there will always be many changes and dramas that will occur throughout the season. But I personally still don't agree if an achievement is only seen from money, we know how Leicester can become champions at that time which even Leicester is not a luxury team and not a star squad.
