Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

here is a very nice cartoon that shows what fc chelsea has achieved before and after investor roman abramovich bought the club
he came with a few full bags of money and left with 9 titles achieved

Huge money works wonders, doesn't it? But I would like to draw attention to one more point: the speed of achieving results. Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003 and a year later the club won the first title. Fantastic story. It is unlikely that something like this is possible now, although looking at how much Newcastle's game has improved, I begin to doubt it.

Arsenal are becoming an interesting team to watch and it seems they've picked up form. For the past three games now they have emerged winners both at home and away. Sitting at the Fourth spot behind Chelsea, let's see how impressive they can continue to get, who knows, they can end up finishing 2nd or 1st.

I think they are a very strong team and they have been very successful in the last games, they haven't lost points for a very long time. It is very difficult for them to be first, I don't think they can achieve this, but they can finish in the top 3. If the team continues with this form, the difference in points will definitely be closed.
Their game against Liverpool will be a very important match

our journey (arsenal) this season was indeed quite difficult from the start of the season and not even a few doubted we were able to reach the top 4 this season, but the hard work of arsenal players was finally able to silence all existing critics.

[KingsDen]

Ronaldo cannot guarantee top 4 position for Manchester United. His coming back to United is supposed to just help up front not to carry the team like they were making him do at the start of the season. It's quite frustrating playing in an environment where winning mentality is low, that's the problem Ronaldo have with this United team.

Ronaldo scores goals, but overall I think he is part of the problem, not the solution. He makes Man U worse, just like he made Juve worse. He's always had gaps in his game, like his pathological inability to track back or be a team-player. Sometimes if you play for a top team, your team-mates can cover for this deficiency and compensate for it. But other times, if you're at a good-but-not-great team like Man U, and there are better teams than you in the league, then they will exploit this weakness ruthlessly. Top goal-scorer, but not top team-player. He's not what United need right now.

I don't think it is right to just blame Ronaldo for Manchester United foes. Ronaldo's duty in Manchester United is more of to score goals. Ronaldo at his age cannot be the playmaker of Manchester United. If Manchester United needs one they should go and sign one.
I don't even think that as young as Rashford that he marks ball more than Ronaldo.
Manchester United's problem is the overall team mentality and player laziness. Apart from the likes of Bruno, Ronaldo and Cavani maybe few others, the boys play football as if they don't care about the outcome.

War makes things worse. But the world's resuscitance to the Russians does not seem to have subsided. I think this picture tells the achievements that came after Abramovich came to chelsea bringing fresh money. I think he is a loyal owner of the club, he gives unlimited funds to buy players. Not bad for 19 years of course, he has given a great change. The hope is that if they have found a new owner, it certainly has a loyal nature towards the club. Then there will probably be a follow-up picture after that.  

I think the politics should be kept away from football. I hope this spontaneous change doesn’t affect Chelsea’s performance in the league. Manchester United changed managers in 2014 and they have not been the same ever since Alex Ferguson retired. Chelsea may soon find themselves in that situation in which a difficult choice has to be made for the future of the club.  A new owner will certainly affect the club future for good or bad.

You right politics should keep away from football and I think is not any relationship what happen Russia invasian to Ukraine with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. Now he was loss his opportunity keep extended for Chelsea owner after United Kingdom have try to suspend him there. Right now he was take decision for leaving Chelsea forever and looks he was find who will be new Chelsea owner, have several businessman and sport entertaiment are intersted to buy Chelsea but still waiting who offering higher value for buying Chelsea.

I feel this is a result of the money he poured.
But indeed in that season there were some surprises that happened because at that time if I'm not mistaken in the previous season Chelsea were also in second place for two seasons in a row and when the 2005/06 season the reigning champion's performance was so bad that they were placed in 4th place at the time. that's what makes them strong enough to be champions.
But apart from that, it's inseparable from the money Abramovich spent

[Distraction]

Arsenal are one of the most impressive teams in the league for me now. Because they maintain their great form and this helped them really much about taking the fourth position from Manchester United. It is really amazing that Arsenal are able to do this without a striker now. They are literally playing without a decent striker but they are still having a successful period. Lacazette is unfortunately not even close to his performance in the old times. If he was, there wouldn't be a big need for a striker now. But they do need now.

[snipie]

People are acting very sad towards Abramovic leaving, and I do not understand this non-challant and brutal approach to owners in UK, like how do you guys support every single guy. When Newcastle was sold to a Saudi prince that killed a journalist, people applauded and cheered his ownership. Abramovich could have come in with just one title, and left with 10, and that is a great thing for Chelsea and that is why Chelsea fans loved him, that is sort of understandable.

But, people should realize that he made his fortune from the corrupted Russian politics and became rich and then he did had some fair and legit business' that made him legit money as well, but his rose to power did ended up with corruption. Why support someone like him? I rather let city of London (the government branch) own the club instead of someone like him.

Personally I don't care that much about him but I have a big problem with UEFA and FIFA hypocrisy in addition to UK and some other countries. Now if this guy is corrupt, involved in crimes, money laundering or I don't know what, why wouldn't he prosecuted? Where is the court and democracy stuff that they keep saying over and over? What about separating sports from politics? What about the sanctions that was made for people that supported other political causes in the past? I am pretty sure that these types of discussions don't belong here so I will refrain from adding additional comments about it but we live in a world full of hypocrites unfortunately and instead we see wise persons trying to cool down tensions and de-escalate the situation, you find people fueling it...

Earlier, even Binance wanted to buy Chelsea, but later gave up that purchase for an unknown reason. Who will buy the club is hard to say, because Abramovich will not give the club to a random businessman oligarch. It is important that the future owner not only has the money to buy, but it is also important that he loves football as much as Abramovich does. He has also stated that he plans to create his own football league

Surely this was one of most depressed journeys for peoples related to Arsenal but their faith and patience now giving them good dividend in shape of fourth spot and very strong case for staying here with now next season is in Champions League even still few things to settle, but now they are on track which is the best case for them under very strong management of Arteta who done amazing job with his own strategy in early days some serious observations about his abilities, but he has done all things very good and won this against all odds. Now it's good time for them to stay here at top and try to achieve their target and set things for next season with some good striker as well because it's much needed for them.

[AakZaki]

Totthenem is really awakening, especially Kane doing a great job in the last games. It will not be difficult for Totthenem to come to the fourth place with this beautiful and enjoyable game. Totthenem is really awakening, especially Kane doing a great job in the last games. It will not be difficult for Totthenem to come to the fourth place with this beautiful and enjoyable game. There are Man united matches next week. In the last City-United match, although United were not bad in the first half, I saw that the players were physically inadequate. Totthenem will use this as an advantage and they are closer to winning.

I didn't think they would win 5-0. Of course they have a chance to get to Arsenal. But the next game they will face Man United. Of course the task is tough, although Man United have not been good in the last few games Totenham must be wary. If totenham continue to perform well they could go to UCL next season. Their chances are still very open to go there. And maybe Man United will fail to enter the UCL zone.

[Velvet78]

Tomorrow there are some games that were supposed to be played before. And Chelsea also have an absent game tomorrow. It is going to be versus Norwich away and this is one of the easiest games for Chelsea certainly. Chelsea are trying to gather strength by maintaining a win streak now. And this is another good opportunity for them to keep it going. They should keep their position stronger to prevent other teams from getting close to them until the end of the season. Despite experiencing a bad form too, Chelsea should still be able to end the season at the third position in the worst case.

It's still possible to catch up if we look at the math but their chance at Europa League is much higher than the Champions League. Tottenham can have huge wins and lose badly in the next. Arsenal do not have explosive duo of Kane and Son but they are more stable and consistent as a team.

Was not expecting Tottenham Hotspur to trash Everton five goals and with a clean cheat on top of it,they did well to bounce back from that fa cup dissapointment against Middleborough, there game against Manchester United comes at the right time for them is a strong match I know but in other to show that you have put that lack of consistency behind just like the players and coaches said after there victory against Everton they should win a team of United calibre who is still challenging them to the fourth position.

[D-law]

Talks about Manchester United without knowing the team is crap, most people here are talking off.
Manchester United needs a new board of trustees, fvck off with Sir Alex Ferguson polices, get a new coach, and scrap the hell out of the stinking / sniffing scumbags called players.
They should all leave the club, Mac tominay, Paul Pogba, Fred and the Likes of some defender's.
Ronaldo and Rashford have done nothing, a good coach like Pep Guardiola will work with this team and win, they just need to be with the right Coach.
Without that, Manchester United are far from winning a trophy they haven't won in the last five years.

Man United this season has really shown a very bad performance, almost all players have experienced a decline in performance. Including Ronaldo
and Bruno Fernandes in the last few games did not make a good contribution to Man United.
---- snip

Yes, you're right. In fact, there are some players who are supposed to be good players. However, the solidity of the players during the match seemed to be very low. And I also feel that the strategy and tactics used by the coach are not suitable so they do not maximize the potential and solidity of the players as a whole.
Ronaldo also seemed unable to maximize his potential there.
Still need a lot of improvement from various lines at Man United.

[AndySt]

Ronaldo cannot guarantee top 4 position for Manchester United. His coming back to United is supposed to just help up front not to carry the team like they were making him do at the start of the season. It's quite frustrating playing in an environment where winning mentality is low, that's the problem Ronaldo have with this United team.

He's always had gaps in his game, like his pathological inability to track back or be a team-player. Sometimes if you play for a top team, your team-mates can cover for this deficiency and compensate for it. But other times, if you're at a good-but-not-great team like Man U, and there are better teams than you in the league, then they will exploit this weakness ruthlessly. Top goal-scorer, but not top team-player. He's not what United need right now.

I don't think it is right to just blame Ronaldo for Manchester United foes. Ronaldo's duty in Manchester United is more of to score goals.

Apart from the likes of Bruno, Ronaldo and Cavani maybe few others, the boys play football as if they don't care about the outcome.

The main problem of Manchester United is not Ronaldo, and no one should blame the player for not strongly supporting the team game. Ronaldo has never been a player who accelerates the attack and makes striking passes in the penalty area or near the type of Modric or Messi. Ronaldo, on the contrary, is the player whom these transfers should find, so that the player then makes the decisive striking blow. Ronaldo alone will not be able to guarantee anything and other players should help him in this, as they say, someone should play the piano, and someone should carry this piano. Also, if the team cannot show the desired result, then there is a share of the head coach's fault, because his task is to use the available players as efficiently as possible.

They are still with a very high level of selfishness, especially for the young players. Whereas if they get rid of that and focus more on teamwork, I'm sure they'll be much better off than they are now.
Regarding strategy I believe that Ralf Rangnick has a myriad of strategies to implement. But it all must be supported by the players who play. They really need to clean up before anything worse happens.

but if Ralf Rangnick can't be a coach who is admired and familiar with the players then that could be bad for the team's play. despite having a myriad of good strategies, when applied in the game no one runs the strategy well. it can be bad.
Man United's current problem lies with their team that does not have cohesiveness in the game. their mix of senior and young players did not run consistently. all still use their selfishness. and I don't know how long this team will continue like this.

Ronaldo, on the contrary, is the player whom these transfers should find, so that the player then makes the decisive striking blow.

It's too far from era when a single player can carries a whole team to title. Nowadays, a team need to work and play together as an united team in order to get success. The latest defeat of PSG in Champions League is another lesson. Mbappe can not carry PSG to success and that defeat is a failure for PSG to convince Mbappe to stay in Paris.

Ronaldo alone will not be able to guarantee anything and other players should help him in this, as they say, someone should play the piano, and someone should carry this piano. Also, if the team cannot show the desired result, then there is a share of the head coach's fault, because his task is to use the available players as efficiently as possible.

Ronaldo was bought and came back to Manchester United to help them solving their issues in goal scoring. I disagree if anyone say Ronaldo has failed with this task so far. People say it just because it is Ronaldo and they want him to score 30 to 40 goals in every season. Remember he is going to his 40s and what he has scored so far is much better than other attacking players whom are younger than him in Old Trafford.

[bering]

Norwich vs Chelsea and this postponed match for week 30 and on the paper Chelsea is the favourite because so far they can win 3 times in a row with cleansheet and they performance much better than their opponent and for Norwich they are really not in the good shape because in 15 matches Norwich only can win twice and 10 times lost but although Norwich performance very poor i wish Chelsea won't underestimate them and focus for this match to get 3 points
