Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hahay]

We can just jump into conclusion that Manchester United are in a better shape, after winning one of the tough team in the premier league, Liverpool. Erik starting with the considerable players in his squad all contributed to his winning. So united next game won't be difficult because the Players are getting used to themselves and teamwork improved. While Liverpool needs time because the club is probably not in good form because most of their players are injured and kept on the bench.

One win (especially against a historical rival) doesn't mean anything. Now Casemiro has joined the team - he is unlikely to fit perfectly into the game from the very first match, in addition, there are problems with Maguire and Ronaldo who are clearly unhappy with their place on the bench. I am sure that the upcoming game will not be easy for United. And now I would rather bet on opponents than on United, because after the victory over Liverpool, everyone fell into unreasonable euphoria. This greatly distorts the odds.

It seems that the euphoria makes sense because with this victory at least Manchester United managed to get out of the bottom of the table, the next match against Southampton is likely to be the point where the euphoria will continue. If we look back to the 2021 season, we will get the big win that Manchester United won when they beat Southampton with a score of 9-0, with the revival of Manchester United who managed to beat Liverpool as the favorite team yesterday. Then of course, the morale of the players will slowly get better and more ready to play against Southampton, about Ronaldo and Maguire they can ignore that because even Manchester United themselves are ready to sell Ronaldo but unfortunately, so far no team is willing to buy him. So, at this moment Ronaldo and Maguire can really be ignored and even Erik ten Hag did not hesitate to put Ronaldo on the bench.

The opening game of the week is going to be Southampton - Manchester United. After having a very important victory against Liverpool I started to believe in Manchester United more. This can be the beginning of a really nice streak in the league. Southampton are not an opponent to be underestimated of course. Manchester United will need to keep the game under control as much as possible. If they carry their latest effort to this game too then they should be able to win this.

With the performance against Liverpool on Monday, United will be looking to punish apron this week. I believe United are finally beginning to look like what Manchester United should be, if they could get a win against Southampton, they might as well go on to a long streak of wins. Southampton on the other hand will not be an easy win for Manchester United. They would  want to take it from where Brentford stoped

Erik ten Hag was under fire after two dreadful performances in the first few weeks as the club's lack of transfer activity became a hot topic.

The resounding victory over Liverpool seemed to have lessened the pressure a little, but the Dutchman is still anxious for the team to bring in a few more players before the transfer window shuts.

I don’t think Harry Maguire is leaving Manchester United to join Chelsea. He has been tagged untouchable by the management when Ten Hag came in. Remember he was also linked to Barcelona earlier in the summer transfer window, but the management didn’t allow that deal go through. I think Chelsea have a more reliable alternative in Adam Webster. Webster is a physical presence at 6ft 3in tall but is also adept at carrying the ball out from the back and breaking the lines. So incase Fofana's deal doesn’t go through, I see Chelsea going for Adam Webster instead of Maguire.

chelsea is currently enlivening the transfer market with the news of their desire at the end of the transfer market this season...

webster and fofana are still reluctant to be sold by their team, the chances of chelsea getting fofana are very small because leicester said they want to set a world record for the transfer of fofana if chelsea is interested. compared to Fofana, I think it's better for Chelsea to focus on chasing webster because reportedly the value is still cheaper than fofana and the performance is also quite good.

In terms of quality, of course, manchester united is above southampton, but still it doesn't promise victory if the game of manchester is still like their first two games, but if the performance against liverpool can be maintained against southampton then there is no doubt if they can win according to me, but still the final score of football is difficult to predict and I think everything is possible in that match.

I don't think with Southampton under level than Manchester United because what achievement from three match on Primer League looks Southampton have better performance, three match before got 4 points is better than Manchester United just got 3 points only with once time winning from Liverpool. Southampton have good performance although got losing from Tottenham Hotspur on first match but success got draw with Leeds United 2-2 and last match defeated Leicester City 1-2. Exactly playing as home match give advantage for Southampton keep continue best performance and make Manchester United faced difficulty going on getting three points again.

[Tomohisa]

After getting a win against Liverpool, of course, the mentality of the Manchester United players improved drastically because after slumping in the first 2 matches they were actually able to win against a big Liverpool team.
and for the next game I think it is very possible Manchester United will get a positive result even though against Southampton it is not easy but for a team that has high confidence and also more quality players it is very possible for Manchester United to win this game.

Manchester united might have drawn motivation from their last match against Liverpool after a 2:1 win but the fact still remains Liverpool was the better team all through the match. Manchester hasn't built enough confidence for the season and secondly Southampton will be playing at home against United. If Hag must win this he needs to build a formidable defense and Midfield before the match

Most of the Manchester United fans are overexcited after this win even it's their right and win against team like Liverpool is surely special one for them but still they need to be calm down because we have to wait for some more weeks as can they now handle things with consistency because in last season they already have wins like this but fail to maintain this momentum and lost few matches frequently which hurt them badly.

Now with the few good playmakers are also coming in Manchester United and Ten Haq is also doing his best which is good for him and team but still we have to wait for development in this team if they play consistently then surely we can expect good results in coming matches otherwise still old story of inconsistency and poor results can ruin another season.

Well, Liverpool doesn't have a strong backup from Arab's money so can't blame them if Manchester United decided to step up their games, buying good players left and right. Yes, Manchester United also have strong pressure from the losing streak so they ought to do better especially against Liverpool which Manchester United know about Liverpool more.
For once, Liverpool can't take the blame here as they haven't had time to get used to this new Manchester United. At least, Liverpool now can make it back as they only had to meet Ajax, Napoli, and Rangers in Group A of the Champion League.

The path to the top of the championship title is difficult and long.Each team tries to get as close as possible to this, at least to prevent the others from doing it. As a result, those who consistently hold the bar of a good team get the cup. From the very beginning of the season, Manchester United lacks this stability, then they lose shamefully to not so formidable opponents, then they end the match against a strong team with a delightful victory. Manchester United throws from one extreme to another and by and large, one victory on the scale of the entire season of the Premier League means nothing, if we discard that it was Liverpool. First need to watch the next matches and how Manchester United will show itself, so that you can judge their form and readiness to show all their power. For now, the short-term euphoria needs to be quelled and not let this dizzy the Manchester United from success.

True that, it's Wesley Fofana or nobody for Chelsea
Maguire will have a role in the future with squad rotation.
He stands as Man United captain but will still be on the bench.

[CryptoPanda]

It is reported that Ronaldo is now threatened from his position after Man United made an offer to Antony, the Ajax player and is not half-hearted with a fairly large offer according to rumors of 80 million pounds.
Maybe Ronaldo will leave before the transfer window closes September 1, but indeed if Antony comes to Man United it will be Erik Ten Hag's main squad for his front line.

I think the arrival of Anthony will be able to make Manchester even better in the future, the two transfers made by Ten Hag namely Casimero and Martinez are ideal transfers and are believed to be able to strengthen their midfield and defense, so if Antony transfer materializes then it will make their attack line will also be dangerous, as a central striker, Antony is a typical player who has the speed and ingenuity in seeing the position to score goals so far.
If Manchester United managed to bring in Antony of course it would make Ronaldo happy, because all this time Ronaldo had wanted to leave Manchester United for a long time.

Having Ronaldo in the team makes the decision of making player selections for match days more difficult because even when he puts up an average performance you still have to play him because of who he is, tbh who will have a player like Ronaldo and keep him on the bench so its a problem for Ten Hag and it will only take courage as he did in the game against Liverpool to make that ruthless decisions like sitting Ronaldo on the bench. Hopefully Anthony will give them more options in their attack if they finally secure his signature.

Manchester United team still has many weaknesses. And Erik Ten Hag needs new talented players to stabilize his squad. Ronaldo is not playing well in the forward, so Ronaldo is not seen in the starting XI against Liverpool. Moreover, the United team's defense is quite weak. They conceded four goals against a team as weak as Brentford. So Ten Hag should try to get experienced defenders on the team.

Manchester United's management must put in more effort, given how difficult the Premier League has been this season. A team like Manchester United requires strong and reliable players with consistency who are willing to compete and fight for the title. Although they signed Casamiro from Real Madrid to strengthen their midfield, I am sure they need more signings to balance the team and compete this season.

[Avirunes]

They can make someone else the captain, not a biggie there. Ten Haag values the player on how much a player puts on the pitch and Maguire doesn't puts anything at all. Hope ten Haag continues with Varane and Martinez which seems like an ideal pair for central defence. Casemiro will also add and make the defence strong. I think Casemiro's transfer will give United the support in mid and defence that they actually wanted. Fred and McTominay are decent but not the kind United actually needs right now.

[Alanaz]

They can still bounce back because if you look at the current state of the league, it would be very funny if they gave up just because the results of the 3 matches they started were pretty bad.
I think it's too early to give up and this is not Liverpool. What they have to do is keep improving themselves because indeed they are already quite good in the game but their luck and their goal productivity are weak.

Of course I don't mean that Liverpool would give up. It is only the beginning of the season and there are many games to be played. However Klopp should act faster about finding the root of the current problem. In the Manchester United game, something attracted my attention.

After Mane's leaving the team Liverpool have been affected really badly on the front. They were struggling to find a player like Mane who liked to help the midfield and shape the attacks of the team. If Klopp doesn't create an alternative to this then Liverpool wouldn't still be comfortable about having a good form.

Klopp actually wanted to move quickly at the start of this season but indeed when playing games without some of his pillars it is clear it is very difficult to do.
For the front line they can actually replace Mane but when Jota is injured and the conditions are not as good as when Nunez is not there like last week's game it is clear it is very difficult for them.

Sharply said also they need either of Mac Tominay or Garner around
That's all for injury cases and depth, Tominay did good during Liverpool game did you obs ?
They both defending during training ahead of Liverpool match.
Ten Hag better stick's to a team he trusts and Varane Martinez has shown they are the pair for that team

In my estimation, one of the biggest mistakes Ronaldo made was in leaving Real Madrid for Juventus. And worst still, Juventus for  Manchester United. At least if he had stayed in Real Madrid, he would have won some titles. Or better still, if he had stay in Juventus, that would have still been ok because they manage to stay in the top 4 of the league and play champions league every year. But can you just imagine that Rockstar Cristiano Ronaldo at 37 is still amazing is begging with the club's to buy to play in the champions league. He seems stuck with Manchester United. I sometimes wonder if he ever have regrets about choosing Man United.

[Bhig Daddy]

I am a Chelsea fan, but to be sincere I'm not really convinced with the way my team have been playing from pre-season. I'm not seeing Chelsea in the title race, even making the top 4 will be a big deal for us this season because we barely create chances when we play. So let just sit back and watch how the season goes.

[RILWAN]

Clubs like Chelsea have being on a downward trend since the management crisis started during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and that has pushed the former club owner to sell the club, so since then the performance of the club has not been the same as previous years back. This performance if not improved on will lead the club to a potential relegation zone.

You're too permissive. The season just got started, bro. Still saw a great chance for the Chelsea club to be in the top 4 if they did the early season players hunting well. What Chelsea needs right now is a midfielder that can be adaptive and creative to fill in as a defender, I think. De Jong is the best here since he's a versatile midfielder and suited for this position in Chelsea.

I heard Chelsea also wants to have Wesley Fofana, a defender. Chelsea made a third bid for Wesley Fofana for 70m, Leicester has rejected it btw. I'm glad that the transfer fell through. Chelsea should save their money to get De Jong and look for a cheaper defender, in my opinion.

in this season chelsea did not perform well. even since pre-season chelsea has been the subject of much discussion because of its poor performance. And what is more talked about is that Chelsea always fails in every player hunt. chelsea is like a stingy club. they have a lot of money but always dare not pay dearly. so many players they failed to bring.

even yesterday against Leeds , chelsea lost 3-0 . even chelsea got one red card. But it's still early in the season. sometimes a team can make a surprise in the middle of the season. And I hope Chelsea can bounce back and get back to their best.
