Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[ShowOff]

The Arsenal vs Chelsea match is a few minutes away. I'm actually looking forward to this match. Lukaku's lineup has been shown as a single striker and is immediately played, I'm sure this will bring Chelsea more superior in Lukaku's hands.

Chelsea were 2 goals up in the first half, will we see Arsenal conceding 2 more goals in the second half? Lukaku seems to have torn the hearts of Arsenal fans today and he is a player Chelsea desperately needs in every game going forward.

The match between Chelsea and Arsenal started a while ago. I don't see any reason for Arsenal to win this match. Looking forward to an easy win for Chelsea. But the statistics of the last 5 matches of these two teams are somewhat interesting. Arsenal has won 3 out of the last 5 matches. Chelsea won only one match and another one is a draw.

It's very interesting that Chelsea who can clearly win their game against Arsenal managed to score 1 goal in 15 minutes. Lukaku gave Chelsea the first win and put pressure on Arsenal's condition. I doubt Arsenal will be able to level the score anytime soon, given the lack of possession in these early minutes.  I predict Chelsea will win 3-1 over Arsenal.

The halftime break now. Chelsea is leading 2-0. @Iranus If you bet on Chelsea winning, you're going to win. Chelsea's players are dominating the match. Arsenal players are trying hard to get back on track. But they can not. Arsenal's players are unable to attack because of Chelsea's defenders.

I am enjoying the match of Southampton vs Manchester United. It is a very competitive match. Both teams are playing well. However, Manchester United is trailing 1-0. The squad does not have main strikers Rashford and Cavani. Yet their team is stable enough. . Even if they are trailing 1-0, I don't think they will be defeated.

What supposed to be the most easiest/predictable match end up to be a surprise at least for this first half. ManU players were waiting for a foul and were hesitating, moving slowly and Southampton profited from this. It is a clear foul imo and the goal shouldn't be counted. I suppose ManU will wake up and might punish Southampton in the second half. Solskjaer has to make some changes imo to make the rythme faster.

Manchester United played well but could not win the match. We have seen a lot of good attacks from players from both teams. Southampton is happy to share the points in the match. But these three points were very valuable for Manchester United. However, I hope Manchester will win the next match against Wolves.

[Slow death]

4 points from 2 match have put Manchester United in 4th position and will go down if Cheslea is able to beat Arsenal in a while.

I was very surprised by this draw, which in my opinion sounds like a defeat because Manchester United was not playing against a very strong opponent and ended up losing points


chelsea 2 - 0 Arsenal (  60 minutes are played )

arsenal doesn't have the strength to win this game, from what i see chelsea will leave with 3 points in this game. congratulations to chelsea for the early victory

Chelsea now has a perfect No9, Already lukaku would had scored twice but the second chance was not given to him. I am predicting a three to four goals scorelines as I am still waiting on lukaku to score more goals. Everybody in the Chelsea squad is playing well except for few mistakes that almost caused an own goal by jorginho.

Lukaku is a very talented striker and I believe he will succeed in the second contract in Chelsea.

However, it is not wise to judge his success in the future after a few first matches for Chelsea. In the past, Morata had some early good matches for Chelsea but finally he is a failed transfer in Stamford Bridge. With striker, a few bad matches might take all of confidence out and when a striker plays without confidence, goals will be very hard to find.

Arsenal need to bring in their A game if they want to get something from this game. The best they can do is a draw but I doubt Chelsea will let that happen keeping in mind they will be paying Liverpool next and that game would be a though one. They need this three point and they will make sure they secure it with more goals.

Arsenal seems to have another bad season. They have very bad early matches in Premier League and it seems the summer does not help them to improve anything.

Although based on statistics the possibility that Arsenal will beat Chelsea is too low, I believe that they can get 1 goal. At least, they show that Arsenal isn't weak enough until Chelsea can beat them without any fighting. We know clearly that Arsenal has become weak like this just because of their internal issues.  Their financial issue, until can't buy a new player for the team. Chelsea will be easy to beat them for this match. This has been answered for the first time they started.

Lukaku is a poacher inside the box. His finishing is good but he lacks pace. So some central defence with good awareness and experience will handle him quite well. Today Arsenal CB's are doing mistakes as expected. I still wonder why choose Mari over White. Holding is a good selection but not Mari in a match like this. Arsenal had couple of chances but Chelsea did well to handle them.

Manchester United played well but could not win the match. We have seen a lot of good attacks from players from both teams. Southampton is happy to share the points in the match. But these three points were very valuable for Manchester United. However, I hope Manchester will win the next match against Wolves.

The EPL came off without a single draw last week which was so much like the EPL but then, it was going to take a few games before the draws start coming. The Southampton 1:1 Manchester United draw was one that wasn't anticipated this weekend, looking at the way there first game did end, Southampton did good to have won themselves a draw off this encounter.

Arsenal vs Chelsea on the other hand, I don't know what the rest were expecting but, there wasn't a chance I didn't see Chelsea winning and so, they aren't doing anything surprising by beating Arsenal to a 2 goals down. Lukaku is just the spice of the whole game haven't gotten to score a goal. It seems he is actually living up to his purpose in the team.

Agree, I'm personally still not 100% sure on Lukaku because he only has a strong body and good finishing but doesn't have the speed, about his movement that is not so fast it can still be covered by his strength. Still waiting for Chelsea and Lukaku against better teams like City, if Lukaku is still unstoppable then I admit I was wrong about him. But anyway, congratulations to Chelsea and as always, there's a lot of work and effort that Arsenal have to do if they don't want to be relegated at the end of the season.

[cryptofrka]

As I said already, I expected Chelsea to walk over Arsenal. It can already be seen what Lukaku will bring to them, they really have a diversified and potent attacking line.

United drawing to Southampton was a bit unexpected but early on in the league results like these happen quite often. Pogba getting another assist, he's already reached 5 in 2 games - if he will have a good season, United will be a serious contender.

[Westingcote]

Arsenal are currently sitting in the relegation zone of the Premier League they looked awful against Chelsea and could have lost by a lot more than the final score of 2-0. I know it is early in the season but imagine if Arsenal are there at the end of the season!

This is Arsenal's second defeat I also predicted the same that Arsenal will not be able to fight Chelsea and sure enough Lukaku showed the first goal with a good finishing even if Lukaku was in front of goal he would definitely score.

In the third week Arsenal will be even more difficult because facing Mancity it is clear that this will be another defeat, sometimes the game can change but I don't think Arsenal will be able to win at Mancity.

And Chelsea vs Liverpool will be more exciting.

[Woodie]

History was on the wrong side for Arsenal today, I really thought they would turn tables after they lost their opening match and take it has some kind of motivation but it was not to behind!
Chelsea  outclassed the gunners in every position, and without the Gabon striker and French man I didn't fancy Arsenal winning and as long as those two are absent forget about these guys winning a game as they lack the leadership and Inspiration to focus and get back on track.

It was nice seeing Lukaku play fearlessly and threatening in front of goal and getting a goal as he continues to show some nice form picking up from were he left since last season.

[elliottflz65]

And Chelsea vs Liverpool will be more exciting.

I think Chelsea wins because Liverpool have played two bad teams in the Premier League and have won but they have not won in a big way. Chelsea today played the perfect game and really put the sword to Arsenal. Chelsea could have scored more with Lukaku missing a couple of chances and Ziyech. This Chelsea team is one of the best Chelsea teams I have seen in the last 5 years. Liverpool are reliant on VVD if they lose him again then their defense will fall apart. I think Lukaku and Werner against that Liverpool team who does not have Robertson is going to rip them part and score a couple of goals.

[RapTarX]

It was nice seeing Lukaku play fearlessly

Damn, I missed that Lukaku has returned to Chelsea. There was rumor of Lukaku to Man City but Chelsea selling him for 28m EURO (I can't remember the exact amount), they have purchased him again for 97m EURO. I had a quick bet on the match without looking at the stats lol. I was looking for a draw.

flawless start for chelsea, awful form for arsenal to lose two first game of the season.

poor arteta , his decision to bench aubameyang cost a lot! he even like doing a random transfer lol .. couldnt fully blame him though.
i like his passion , but thats not enough to win the game.
LONDON IS BLUE, STILL.

Next up is Liverpool against them and that would be very good test for both teams. Both teams have strong players and it would be also a good test for Lukaku to go up against Van Dijk and Matip who so far have played really well in starting two matches. It would be a thrilling contest to watch.

[mv1986]

German coaches rocking the Premier League, huh guys?

I take the team of Tuchel and him as a coach and his quality very seriously. I believe this could very well become his season. Defense is strong as always and now they also score a lot, which they didn't do last season. If they can start with a great run I don't see many teams to keep up the winrate, not even Liverpool. If they meet each other that is one huge highlight of the season already for so many reasons.

I am glad that Lukaku did not go to Manchester City that would be disastrous for the league. I watched the highlights of the Chelsea v Arsenal game and Lukaku looked to be involved in every attack that Chelsea had. I think he is worth the 97m euro that they paid for him if he continues to play like he did today.

Liverpool and Chelsea is definitely a match to watch, Klupp vs Tuchel, Firmino Vs Lukaku, Lloris vs Mendy, Mane vs Mount, Salah vs Havertz. Definitely they will all have to prove themselves.
Imagine lukaku running towards van Dijk, that would be really awesome to watch.
I wish Chalobah will come from the bench and score, the guy is really good, I don't know if he will make the starting XI if Chelsea finally lands Jouse Kounde.
Lets see how it goes
