Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I have a hunch that Chelsea will have a mid-season slump, as Tuchel often did in Borussia. Perhaps the reason, is that the players was are either overworked or injured.

Chelsea will decline or not in the middle of it all depends on the player and coach. Tuchel when in Dortmund is different from Chelsea, the achievements and cooperation of the team is also different. So far, their performance is quite stable in the Priemer League. Of all matches only 1 series. This is all indeed not easy. If consistency can be maintained, the reason overwork and injury will not appear as a reason for their defeat.

Mancity is still a big team and is favored by many people and even this will still be Pep's struggle to win the cup this season, I really like Mancity this season.
Chelsea added a great player and I'm sure the squad will be strong despite Lukaku being a sharp striker and without a doubt, this will be a tough rival for Mancity as well.
Liverpool are not very significant in buying players but they are still quite stable with the old players and the striker who used to be Klopp can still fight for the title as well.
Well ManUnited now the arrival of Ronaldo who is much to be proud of, will this be the other team's toughest opponent?
I think once they come the megastars can change for the better.

I agree that Manchester City will fight for the championship and I think they can become champions again. Manchester United after the acquisition of Ronaldo, in my opinion, also has very good chances to fight for the championship, but for Chelsea I am not so sure. I have a hunch that Chelsea will have a mid-season slump, as Tuchel often did in Borussia. Perhaps the reason, is that the players was are either overworked or injured.

Maybe you will be right about this, who knows. We don't know if Chelsea manage to maintain this superb form for a very long time. Maybe at some point, they will start struggling for at least a few matches. And this will cause the gap with the leader to open more. Honestly, I would really like to see a new champions rather than Manchester City this season. I would like to see especially Chelsea or Manchester United becoming the champions. This will fire up the competition in the league even more than ever.

The last time Thomas Tuchel coached Dortmund was in 2017 and it's been a long time. Thomas Tuchel is now much more experienced and Chelsea also
have far better quality players than Dortmund. Even the depth of the Chelsea squad is also very good, so if something goes wrong with some of
the main players injured. Tuchel will easily replace injured players with other players, whose qualities are not much different from the main injured
players. I believe Tuchel will be much more successful as a coach than when he coached Dortmund, so what happened when Tuchel was still Dortmund
coach will not be repeated at Chelsea.

You are overestimating those teams. All other teams are improving their performance as well and Premier League is known for the best league so it will need extra effort to win the League. The race for the title this year will be between United, City, Chelsea and Liverpool so all other teams could try their best to stay on the top spot but top 4 is pretty much booked by these four

That's pretty much how it works in the premier league and this stiff competition is what makes it so much better vs other  major leagues where there are monopoly teams that keep dominating season after season. Liverpool didn't really have any major squad additions so I don't really expect much from my team. It would be very surprising if we outperform teams like Chelsea and city at the end of the season. ^For Man Utd, they've a pretty good squad but I'm not sure Ole can utilise his squad potential to the fullest.

You forgot Leicester, West Ham in title race. They sure are underdogs and even I think it is a difficult road for them but they sure are gonna upset some big teams.

Maybe, but I wouldn't pay much attention to them. The Underdogs team still have a chance to win the match against the favorite team, but only if the favorite team does not play well and always fails to score throughout the match. I'm still very sure that the favorite team will win if the two teams you mention play against Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. They can surprise opponents (top teams), and the title race is still open for them.

Nevertheless, some local conclusions on the work of Tuchel can be made only after the middle of the season, excluding the case of absolutely disastrous results. I also think that with all due respect to Borussia Dortmund, it is still not worth comparing the resources of Chelsea and Borussia. Working at Chelsea, Tuchel will have much more opportunities to build a team. The club has more resources and does not set the task of selling out the best players every season, but on the contrary helps to collect the best players in the squad, taking into account the set tournament tasks. Another question is that the competition in England is still much stronger. Therefore, the support of the club's management will be important for Tuchel, and not just the task of achieving immediate results.

Manchester City have an away game against Leicester this weekend. It seems like a really tough game but I expect City to defeat them with a decent gap. I think that City will have the control of the game and make the score 2-0 or so already in the first half. They are in a really good form in the recent times. Leicester beat City in the Community Shield game but this is the Premier League. City would take revenge on them.

Manchester City came back very good after a first bad match. Leicester City has bad start so far and I think they will be in trouble because Jamie Vardy can not play well at his age and Leicester will pay bad cost with bad results if they keep relying on Vardy.

Manchester City now have many good players and they will compete each other, internally to get a spot in the squad for matches. If main players are tired, like after FIFA days, their alternative players can finish their jobs well.

It is Premier League and from current forms of two clubs, I would prefer to choose Manchester City as a winner. I am sorry to Leicester fans but the match will end with the winner is Man City.

Yes, you're to decide which side you support, but Manchester City haven't won Leicester City there last two meetings playing away from home....The home side has the fans and a side that defends well, takes pressure and wait for counter attacks.
They'll hurt Manchester City a lot,this will be very interesting to watch.

The way in which Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have increased their power has certainly caught everyone's eye. Liverpool is a little behind them. I think so. However, I have seen 3 matches of this season. Liverpool is quite stable. Although they drew 1-1 with Chelsea, they played exceptionally well. I am fascinated at their performance.

I agree with you. Even though Liverpool couldn't beat Chelsea that played with 10 players for a whole half, they tried every way they could to beat them. Their performance is really promising this season. And they are stronger on defense after van Dijk's bouncing back from his injury. After the Ronaldo transfer, of course Manchester Utd will be able to fight for the title much seriously. Manchester City are already the biggest favourite to me. And we have a much more powerful Chelsea now. I feel like it is going to be a great season.

Liverpool is not quite behind, they have a good Squad. Although, I expected them to win against Chelsea in their last match, Chelsea got a one man down in the first half, and they played a wonderful game with 10 players in the second half of the game.
Manchester United have strengthen their squad by signing Ronaldo, while Chelsea have Lukaku and Manchester City is a big club with a well built squad. The season will be an interesting one, as this teams will fight for the Premier League trophy.

I feel Liverpool is a bit dul this season, despite ten men against Chelsea, although the home side did greatly defensively, it was just hard for them to open up Chelsea's midfield even with the absence of Kante.
Superb performance from Elliot he totally deserves first team play.
Firmino actually under-performing lately, Henderson won't give them a hundred percent this time around.
Ending below top four I guess this time around, Tottenham taking there position this time around because Nuno Espirito doing a great job.

By the way, Leicester are not in the title race this season. Indeed, it's still early in the season and it's still uncertain, but since the big teams or the favorites this time can start well with all the developments, then I personally don't believe the underdogs will make a surprise this season. Maybe only West Ham looks surprising at the beginning but I believe West Ham can't be consistent, maybe against other underdogs at least West Ham can be favourites, but when West Ham play a big team then it will be the real game and I think West Ham couldn't get through it well.

Leicester City not start league with good result and West Ham United is dominance and keep on the track with on first table, but too early predict which one club dominance on primer league trophy because many club always good at the early but when league left few match again they failed and always not success get three points, looks with Liverpool last years success become first position half of primer league season but many player injury make them have seen City as the champion.

People kept hyping with the underdogs but I never understood why. It is understandable that some team has the potential to do something magical given to the field, but it is not very common. They will eventually survive against a big opponent. Eventually, major teams will snuff out all the glory of underdog teams if they continue to rise to the top as they always have. It's not complicated at all.

Doesn't that make sense given that top teams have a number of top players being bought at high price?

As you said, surprises can still happen on the pitch even though the quality of the players of the two teams is very different. The ability to defend and counterattack as a solution to surprise the opponent is the underdog team's tactics against top teams and not infrequently these tactics can produce good results for the underdog team. Even losing by just 1 goal is still appreciated by the coaches of the underdogs as they manage not to let top team players score more goals in their net.

The thing is that at the beginning of every season, the clubs registered in the English premier league are believed to be aiming for the title. And many go as far as signing players and accepting players on loan to stay very competitive during the campaign amidst injuries and fatigue. You can’t write nobody off now, the campaign is still young and nobody can predict who would win the title. You may call Westham United, Leicester city the underdogs now. Or have you forgotten Leicester city won the title few years ago? Were they an underdog when they won the title then? Didn’t the big guns signed many top players and won many games too? Football is just unpredictable. You can’t tell what’s going to happen or how it’s going to happen from now. Everybody is aiming for the title.

The season has just begun. It is not possible to predict which team will be the champion right now. Still, it's just a guess, everyone will say their own opinion. And will argue in his favor to strengthen his own ideas. That's normal. Here we are not saying that "Manchester United or Chelsea are very strong, they will must win the title." We are saying that since they have formed a strong team, maybe they can win. Leicester won the title in the 2015-16 season. The performances of teams like Manchester City, United, and Chelsea that season was very disappointing. I don't think the same thing could happen again.

It was Alex Ferguson, the quote was something like 'Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles'.

It was Mourinho too. He is happy to win 10 match with a single goal for each rather than win 1 match with 10 goals and the rest 9 matches without 3 points.

Yeah classic Mourinho. I still recall the match between Spurs and City from last season where they scored one goal and went into full defence mode. After the game in post match conference he was asked question what does he think about Man City keeping the possession to which he replied that they can take the ball home if they want, we took the 3 points. Eventually it's the points that matters the most so just avoid dropping points.

Every point in the Premier League is very important. There are lots of good teams here. If a team loses a match and loses 3 points, they will be one step behind the road to winning the title. This season there will be a title fight between Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea. Moreover, Tottenham and Liverpool are strong enough.

Ironically it was the same Mourinho that once criticized a manager for 'Packing the bus ' I.e playing defensively with almost 10 players in an EPL match when he was the manager of Chelsea , I was surprised that he adopted that same tactics he once denounced may be  probably due to lack of quality players in Tottenham that is why he has to defend the lone goal against Man City, however it is three 3 points that matters to him, playing badly and win rather than playing well and keeping all the possessions and lose

In Tottenham and in Roma, so far, Mourinho is not a coach for defensive, extremely defensive.

If you look at the total goals scored by Tottenham under Mourinho time, you will see they scored many goals. At the end of 2020 - 2021 season, Tottenham has less total goals than Manchester City, Manchester United, and as same as Chelsea, Leicester City. Generally, they are not defensive team under Mourinho.

In Roma, 7 goals after 2 matches in Serie A. Is it a result of a defensive team?

People attacked Mourinho and said so because they hate him. Evidence, stats don't support their judgement.

This week become the party for Manchester United fans after FIFA match day finish and world cup qualifier have break out to faced league again, many expectation for Manchester United fans against with Newcastle United on Old Trafford because they most waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo debut, after missing from Portugal last match Ronaldo back early to Manchester and have begin first training for United, now on Sunday Manchester United fans will see what magic happen when Cristiano Ronaldo debut after ten year more left Manchester, will Ronaldo give more surprises for his fans or not.

In two days, Manchester City are going to be playing an away game against Leicester. After losing to Tottenham 1-0, Manchester City won the other two games with the same score which was 5-0. They are in a perfect form now to be honest. We have had a national break but I still don't think that they will lose the momentum. They will play like always by conforming to Guardiola's great game plan. Leicester defeated Norwich and Wolves by one goal but they were demolished by West Ham 4-1. However, the reason behind this embarrassing loss was their playing with 10 players for a very long time. I expect to see a fighting Leicester but their job will be really hard here. I think that Manchester City will defeat them by two goals at least.

If these teams improved themselves a little more, winning the title would be more difficult for other teams.

You are overestimating those teams. All other teams are improving their performance as well and Premier League is known for the best league so it will need extra effort to win the League. The race for the title this year will be between United, City, Chelsea and Liverpool so all other teams could try their best to stay on the top spot but top 4 is pretty much booked by these four

United, City, Chelsea and Liverpool will occupy the top 4 spots in the points table. However, I am not sure how successful the Liverpool team will be. They are a strong team. But seeing their unstable performances from the previous season I lost my confidence in them. However, I hope they do not perform as badly as the previous season.

We all knows the reason why Liverpool were so unstable in the previous season their start was pretty convincing but after a few key players injured they became very unpredictable, but we also saw that they finally managed to get into third place, and this season will be a bit different because injured players back to play, I just hope this season the title race is really decided until the end so there's no domination.
