Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Woodie]

Sterling managed to score late in the first half and it was the first goal of the game today.

The moment i heard that Kevin De Bruyne was not going to be playing for some time because of corona , I knew that Raheem was going to find himself on the score sheet and my call was spot on!

Manchester City struggled in the first half to score despite the few good chance they created. Unfortunately I didn't see De Bruyne in today's line-up so there's a chance this match won't end more than 3 goals.

This is definitely a different City team as they would have got several goals had it being several seasons back  and or yeah sad for the lad De Bruyne who is missing in action but he should be expected back in the the next two weeks or so after...but team will be equal to the task in his absence.

In the second half I just hope Manchester City manage to score a few more goals considering they needed this win just to keep pressing Chelsea who are currently top of the table. If Manchester City manage to win, then this 3 point difference will be good to wait for Chelsea to slip.

They were always favorites to win this game and am not shocked that Everton were not even on target to get a goal because they are just in a bad shape in terms of form this season.

An easy victory for Manchester City, the statistics are very different from the number of kicks that Man City has done more than Everton.
The points are still 3 points different from Chelsea but it will be even tighter to continue to compete.

The next match is Tottenham vs Leeds, this should be Conte's first win at some point after yesterday's draw by Everton.
Spurs are in the table 10 Antonio Conte should be able to make changes with Spurs, if still in trouble but I believe Conte can make changes in his strategy.

Manchester City did not only win with 3-0, but they also dominated the game. Poor Everton only had a shot on target. Although, in terms of squad strength. You can't probably compare City to Everton. Therefore, everyone expected Manchester City to gain 3 winning points from the match.

Tottenham Vs Leeds are advancing towards the end of the first half, and are still playing goalless draw. The game is getting tough for Tottenham, but I believe they won't lost the match.

[W Jr.]

Manchester United lost 4-1 to Watford and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was sacked. This was a long-talked expectation. ManU could not meet the expectations despite its formless and qualified squad. After the Watford defeat, the search for a new manager began at ManU. A better ManU will do well in the Premier league.

[bitzizzix]

Tottenham vs leeds match is going on and in 22 minutes till now no goals have been scored. For me tottenham is favorites to win this match and I placed the bet on total goals to be under 2.5 so till now that is going well.
Teams are playing pretty safe till now and I think no goals will be scored in the first half. That is a bit risky bet but I have gone with that. Lets see what happens now

The game was still on and no goals were scored for either team, and Leeds dominated the game and Tottenham struggled to score goals because Leeds always put pressure on Tottenham players when they received the ball and Leeds' defense was very good.
There had to be a change for Tottenham in the second half and I'm sure Conte will change the formation to score goals because Leeds played really well.

[maju69]

just wondering which one the stronger candidates as the next coach but seems most people said Zidane were suitable to fix MU performance

I'm interested in Zidane, but it doesn't seem possible. I've read that Zidane wants to coach the French national team. Maybe a little late, should Ole's dismissal occur when he lost to Liverpool. Furthermore, whoever the coach is, I hope to be able to provide mental changes in controlling the ball and winning mentality. Of course management has the right to choose whoever the coach is. But Zidane has prove winning many title together Madrid.

Everyone knows if Man United is really in a slump and Man United fans really hope that Man United can be victorious again and can win many trophies. So anyone who will manage Man United will definitely receive a big enough burden. Well, even though the chances are slim, but there's still a possibility that Zidane will accept the challenge because Man United really needs a coach with a winning mentality like Zidane, so I think Man United will definitely try various ways to seduce Zidane.

Agree, although not Zidane at least can be much better than Ole in terms of managing Manchester United. We have great hope for Manchester United, especially the fans who have been furious with Ole selfishness. There is still time for improvement in the future and we hope that after Ole departure the Manchester United players will come back and show a game that lives up to their nickname on the gridiron.

Manchester fans will definitely celebrate this decision because this is what they are waiting for there is no way for Manchester to get out of this slump other than with a new coach. Some media indicate that Zidane is the strongest candidate to take over from Ole but the management of Manchester has not confirmed it.

Zidane is stronger candidate to replace Ole position on Manchester United, but ever talk about Zidane likely become new manager on early season not half season, maybe he can manage his composition player want but on half season he should be smart manager with player already, still have any issues before Manchester United announcement who will be new manager for Cristiano Ronaldo cs and they need new manager because next week will play on champion league.

Michael Carrick takes over temporarily this is confirmed until they get a new coach including in the upcoming champions league match
For coach no need to wait for the transfer window Manchester can replace him if needed. If Michael Carrick can provide a positive trend or even a miracle maybe he will be the main coach.

Exactly before Manchester United announce with new manager I think position left by Ole will replace by Michael Carrick until new manager announcement by Manchester United management. They still discussing and hear opinion from Alex Ferguson who will be candidate for new Manchester United manager, maybe tow or three days later have new announcement about who will be manager for United. Although Zidane still not have club right now will be easy for United get his sign's.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

From Ole to Carrick, forgive me for spitting my drink out with laughter. We have to enjoy this whilst we can because unfortunately Man Utd are too big a club to continue being this much of a joke. When they finally get a top manager in they will start to do much better.

I think Michael Carrick was assigned due to a delay from Zidane accepting the deal.
Sir Alex Ferguson should leave man United at the moment,his level of dictating is too much.

Barcelona once changed Frank rijkarrd to pep guardiola, I thought that's was crazy from Barcelona, pep has only handle the B team, but pep had arguably the best era of Barcelona, now Manchester United are in another state of selecting a new manager, they have been doing this but after few seasons they urge for another change of management, I think they can try Carrick.

Sad for you that goal has been scored in 44th minutes and I know these last minute goals hurt a lot when you placed a bet in under line. Also according to you tottenham were favorites but that first goad was scored by leeds.
It means if tottenham win from this situation you will also loose your under 2.5 goals bet. You must be careful and dont place bets in a flow. Well still you can win under 2.5 goals bet so all the best

Leeds United is leading the game with one goal. The second half has started just now. More pressure on Tottenham. They was favorite, but they aren't able to maintain the dominance in the game. Leeds players has made it a tough game for Tottenham. Perhaps, Leeds may win and get three points from this match. Although, I'm expecting a draw.
Edit: Tottenham scored a goal. Now the score is equal.

anyone else besides Carrick? oh god please don't let them do jokes all the time. laugh out loud

Isn't this a temporary trainer if I'm not mistaken based on the information I read in some impromptu articles? For a while, so the chances of the coach they planned could be much better. During Carrick time at Manchester United, I hope he can contribute the winning points to face Chelsea next week, even though it's quite tough.

[skarais]

The moment i heard that Kevin De Bruyne was not going to be playing for some time because of corona , I knew that Raheem was going to find himself on the score sheet and my call was spot on!

If this news is true, Manchester City will also be minus that player in the second leg vs PSG in the Champions League in the next few days. Obviously that's good news for PSG because we agree that de Bruyne is a player who can always be relied on in Manchester City's midfield to control their attack.

De Bruyne is an important player in Manchester City's midfield, without him I think Manchester City's game is a bit different because I really admire this player for his good passing. PSG could take advantage of this situation in the second leg, where in the first leg Manchester City had to admit defeat.

Yes, this is confirmed information - De Bruyne tested positive for coronavirus and is in a 10-day quarantine now. Undoubtedly, he is the brain and the engine of the team, but I think that in the home match against PSG City will cope even without him. PSG are not showing convincing performance and I doubt they will be as lucky as in the first leg.

He'll be aided by Flecher and some of the backroom staff who he ordered not to sack with Ole; he's not going to last long, but they needed someone to act as a caretaker while they look for an interim manager until they find a permanent one; they're considering Zidane and other candidates to fill the position.

Pep had a huge success with the Bacelona B team before being asked to replace Frank Rijkarrd, but the case of Micheal Carrick is different; he retired a few years ago without any coaching experience; I know he's been around Ole's coaching crew, but he's never handled a team on his own before, so it's a bit of a decline for the manutd side. They need to find a solution as soon as possible before the thighs become out of control.

I still recall Liverpool fans chanting "Ole at wheel" to the United fan stands in their game against Liverpool just some weeks ago where they faced a humiliating defeat with 5-0 scoreline. Same happened yesterday and that too against an underdog. Since October, United are having series of humiliating defeats and someone with a massive scoreline. They have made absolute mockery of themselves. I also wouldn't blame Ole only, there are some players who needs to be taken action as well. It's a tough time for them, and wait it just doesn't ends here..they have yet to face Chelsea and Arsenal in next two gameweeks.  

[skarais]

Undoubtedly, he is the brain and the engine of the team, but I think that in the home match against PSG City will cope even without him. PSG are not showing convincing performance and I doubt they will be as lucky as in the first leg.

I'm just worried that Manchester City will suffer 2 defeat for the 2 leg of the Champions League group stage because by far Messi is the player who often scores goals against City. Yesterday he scored his first goal in Ligue 1 and I believe he is in active mode as a player who will endanger the Manchester City defence. Even if PSG or City lose that game, but I think both team will qualify for the next round considering that Brugge will no longer harm them.

lol love the sense of humor but all things considered, Manchester united were in desperate need for change and now that Ole is gone this opens up to many possibilities and because this just happened Carrick is just the interim manager now..as we have big names like the likes of Zidane who is tipped to be the next United manager and I believe most will be happy to have him.

During Carrick time at Manchester United, I hope he can contribute the winning points to face Chelsea next week, even though it's quite tough.

Definitely a tough ask from Carrick but they should be able to put up a good fight.

Tottenham   won the match vs Leeds 2-1. the winner came from Sergio Reguilon at 69th minute. it was very important victory for Tottenham because they had 3 matches in Premier League without wins.

transfermarkt.co.uk reports that Ralf Rangnick and Zinedine Zidane are reportedly candidates to succeed Ole at man united.
since the team is only filled with top/world stars, i think that Zidane rather than Rangnick would be a better fit here.

"Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season." The decision to go separate ways with Solskjaer resulted from a crisis meeting that took place from Saturday to Sunday night. Several sources suggested on Saturday night that Solskjaer was going to leave the club, but United did not confirm the news until Sunday morning. A replacement has not yet been confirmed, but Ralf Rangnick and Zinedine Zidane are candidates to take over.
