Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Like I knew that Manchester United performance will be totally different  from that of before. It was a great one today, all good work to Ralf Rangnick I know he is going to make a good impact in the team. Honestly the defense of the player's was awesome.

What do you say? are you serious about following their progress lol
Rangnick has officially become a Manchester United coach and there has been a lot of news about it but he still hasn't debuted and hasn't coached there lol.
Yesterday's record they won against Villareal and managed to hold Chelsea to a draw as far as I know Carrick is still the coach of MU, not Rangnick.

[waelov]

Btw I think today manchester united is still led by carrick and not by rangnick

Yeah it was still Carrick and he made such a bold move by choosing Sancho instead of Ronaldo as the starting lineup which turned out to be a good decision because Sancho scored. Sancho played two games so far with Carrick as the manager and scored two goals, this is great and atleast Sancho wont ended up as the benchwarmer

Chelsea - Manchester United match is over. Chelsea, who shot 23 shots, caught the draw with Jorginho's penalty goal. Manchester United must be very lucky to get 1 point from this match.

Very lucky huh? In fact Manchester United almost win the game if it wasnt for the penalty though. Yeah right Chelsea dominate the game and against all the odds, Manchester United scored the first goal. I honestly thought that at the best case scenario it will be a draw with 0-0 for both sides

was it Rangnick or Michael Carrick? The game plan is excellent from the United coach at the top, and the successful choice of playing in this squad without an explicit striker, even if it is the value and experience of Ronaldo.
Chelsea is a fast and physically strong team that presses you in your half and is good at hitting you with quick turns, and does not give you freedom of movement with the ball, so the best possible option for United was to play with a drawing close to 422, especially without the ball. Sancho and Rashford attack on paper, but without the ball, they return to cover with Alonso and James, and at the same time 3 midfielders deep in the center to reduce the spaces in and between the lines, Chelsea's strength with the presence of names such as Ziach and Hudson-Odoi. And offensively, the focus is only on exploiting mistakes, and this is what Sancho did after Jorginho's disastrous mistake. Only the changes should have been better than that.
De Beek was supposed to be the first change to strengthen the midfield with a doubling of Chelsea's attack, and if Ronaldo had to be the first instead of Rashford La Sancho. Overall a good point for United in London.

Did we watch the same match? If you look at the final result, you would think ManU had an increase compared to the last matches. But in fact, they have made the opening goal by Sancho, through a catastrophic defensive mistake. In addition, they were still very lucky shortly before the end in the 95th minute that Ruediger does not make the 2 - 1. Manchester has played a little better than in recent games, but they were not really good.

It's always beneficial to have someone on your team who believes in you. Sancho needed to regain his confidence; he's a fantastic player who needed someone to encourage him and believe in his abilities, and that's exactly what Carrick is doing. Manchester United's forwards didn't have much to do, but they took advantage of the one chance they had to earn a point against a dangerous attacking Chelsea side.

Forget Manchester United got a cheap goal from Jorgiho's error? This is football and drama needs to goal, the penalty was a clear one, a very poor clearance from the defender.

[xzone]

It was a really unlucky night for Chelsea. They could have scored much easier but unfortunately they were not lucky tonight. A simple defensive mistake caused the game to change.
If Sancho had not scored, Chelsea would have played much more comfortably. But when the score turned out to be the opposite of what was expected, they could not play the game they wanted.Iit was like a miracle that the match ended in a draw, it was very surprising that Manchester got points with this game

[gabbie2010]

Chelsea looked much stronger than Man U, but in this match there was no miracle in the final seconds, although the defender could easily have scored! Man U did well to take advantage of what was probably the only good chance they had and scored a goal thanks to a mistake by Chelsea!

Nothing like stronger team when it comes to top team matches, the final score matter most, a team can play badly and win while the better side with good ball possession, shots on goals, many corner kicks etc might eventually lose or draw, statistically in today's match Chelsea has it all to their advantage, Man Utd were tactical displined curtailed all Chelsea attacks though with less ball possessions but took their chance and scored Fred could have added the second goal but misfired, I think it's a good performance by Man Utd.

I agree with you and i see that the first carrick match wasn't bad at all, Chelsea was very close to add the second goal in the last minutes by rudiger but the chance wae in Manchester United Side
Let's see what the old United player can do with the club in the next rounds

[Woodie]

Chelsea - Manchester United match is over. Chelsea, who shot 23 shots, caught the draw with Jorginho's penalty goal. Manchester United must be very lucky to get 1 point from this match. Manchester City is very happy with this score. The point gap between Chelsea and them decreased to 1.

Lets all call a spade a spade, had it not been for the penalty awarded by VAR which I thought was a 50-50 ball challenge, Chelsea would have lost todays game!

Btw Manchester United defense was solid today despite allowing a high number of shots coming their direction. Which is still commendable. Todays performance makes me wonder why they never stuck with Carrick to be their coach because so far things have improved under his watch in both league and champions league football !

[Pulsar77]

Chelsea were unlucky indeed. They played a game that they would have won easily actually. And they showed a dominant performance to deserve the win too. But I wasn't expecting Manchester United to score first to be honest. Manchester United were actually playing a defensive game as they already knew that Chelsea would dominate it. They got a golden opportunity and took advantage of it nicely. Chelsea still would have turned the game around and won. But they were only able to equalize the score and the final result was a draw by 1-1. This was a very ideal result for Manchester City and Liverpool of course as they got a little closer to Chelsea that is the current leader in the league standings.

I was more surprised by the match of Tottenham, how could they dry up the game and not score a single goal

Perhaps it's some minor confusion on your part about the Burnley vs Tottenham fixtures as, the match scheduled to take place at Turf Moor was rightly postponed by referee banks due to some heavy snow fall. No games, no goals.
On the other hand, the few games that has been played this far came off with some competitiveness, seeing West Ham battle Manchester City for a draw was something but, Pep and his team won't let that happen, seeing how close they are to being top of the league.
Watford surprised me a little, after beating Manchester united to a 4:1 win last week, have come up to conceive 4 goals against Leicester City. Leicester is a good te but, I expected a little more from Watford.

Not really a mix-up, I watched the Leicester/Watford match live, after I watched a review of the City vs WH match, and then I just looked up the score of the other matches online, Google didn't show me that the match was rescheduled, I had already seen it on social media, it was inconvenient

You're probably a bit wrong too, Leicester didn't concede 4 goals, on the contrary they scored. About Manchester and VG I agree, the struggle was strong, but you can understand the situation there too. Arsenal are coming on the heels of West Ham, both have 23 points each, so a reserve would come in handy.

Newcastle is in an awkward situation and without doing the right signing in the next window, they might end up relegated for sure..

I doubt it would be a problem for Newcastle to even be in championship. They got a new owner who could spend a billion dollars without really feeling that loss in his finances. As far as I know he has 300+ billion dollars to his name, but as usual with dictatorship we do not really know how rich he is, we just estimate it. Not like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, this dude made money from bloody stuff and corruption and stealing, so obviously we do not know how wealthy he is but 300+ billion dollars means if you spend a billion on a team then you would not even feel it.

This results with Newcastle going back to premier league in a single season if they just simply overpay for people and then a year later back in premier league they could suddenly become a superstar filled team, because they have that kind of money now. I know it sounds horrible when you talk about sportswashing but at least it is not a problem for them this year.

Yea but at least they got a point with the style and game plans,if Ole was in charge Chelsea would have end the game in the first half, if it was not the mistake from Fred Manchester United would have won the game with that style and game plan,so a point is better than nothing.

A great opportunity has been opened for Arsenal to return to the top 4 after successfully improving the quality of their game and performance this season. West Ham's defeat to Manchester City made Arsenal increasingly motivated to get sweeter results in every game. If they are able to maintain this good form then they will have a great chance of returning to the Champions League next season. But unfortunately the league is still quite long and these team still have a chance to continue to safe points.

[_BlackStar]

What a weekend for us so far with 4 goals to win vs Southampton. That's what I expected and Liverpool really did it the right way. So far Liverpool are only 2 point adrift of Chelsea, 1 point away from City and I wouldn't worry too much about it because the table will change in the coming weeks. We just need to keep our way regardless of how Chelsea and City get the result, it's only a matter of time.

[Desmong]

This is a gooo results for Manchester United, getting a point bfrom Chelsea, increasing their unbeaten record in London to 13 games.
Ronaldo started from.the bench, seems like instructions was taken from Ragnick during the second half of the game.
Chelsea waisted clean cut chances, Hudson odoi and Marcos Alonso wemas so poor during this game.
Loftus-cheeck has improved over night.

It would really be great if Arsenal can return to the CL, their present form isn't as bad as it was in the beginning of the season, but the thing is that Arsenal sure know how to capitulate and whenever they face a big team they lose without actually putting up a real fight, the season is still long, but I can't trust Arsenal to remain consistent and finish in one of the top four positions. In my opinion I feel Arteta's job could be threatened if he at least does not finish in one of the top four spots, he has been given quite a lot of time by the Arsenal board, and at the very least, they should be playing CL football, I'd love to see what happens if Arsenal fail to qualify for the CL.

There were lots of improvement in Manchester united games we could see them playing hard to maintain a good defense which has always been their challenge. So far Manchester United's defense is getting better. Their game against Chelsea shows Carrick has a better game plan for united compared to Ole and its too obvious that if Ole was still the manager Chelsea would have gotten their full three points from the match. Kudos to Sancho's he made good use of his opportunity to give united at least a single point

Chelsea was dominant in almost every thing during the match but I would not really say they were unlucky. They only had six shots on target so it's more like they were not efficient or clinical. Calling a draw a miracle with their solid defense is quite disrespectful. Give credit to Man United and De Gea's performance.

[Desmong]

Sancho scoring back to back goals, one in the Champions League and one in the premier league against Chelsea.
Ronaldo failed to be on the scoreboard and ronaldo he has failed to push he's tally to 800 goals in his career.

Great performance today from de gea he played a major role for this draw chelsea team were not efficient in front of the goal yet another dissapointing performance from man united they only had two shots on target and a goal from a mistake of the defender but still this point was a positive result since they faced the leaders and one of the strongest teams in the world on the otherhand chelsea are only one point away from man city which put them on a lot of pressure.
