Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[SatoPrincess]

The premier league matches this weekend have already been postponed as a sign of mourning the death of the queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. The decision to postpone the events was passed by the English government in a 12 day mourning week. I can't believe there won't be league games this weekend, this will be a boring weekend for me, I can feel it already.

The change of manager at the beginning of the season may have an adverse effect on Chelsea's performance this season. Chelsea have some internal problems and its obviously visible now in the team's performances from game to game, the dismissal of the previous coach Thomas Tuchel is also as a result of this problems. I hope Todd Boehly understands getting a  new manager will not bring immediate solutions to the problems and improve the team's performance immediately.

Chelsea problem is Majorly cause by the change of boards and pattern of signing. The era of the new owner is quite different from Abramovich as he changed everything concerning Chelsea. The blues have all the players needed but failing to scored and win games is one thing Thomas Tuchel encounter before he got sacked. That problem doesn't pause there, it's continue and the new boss, Graham Potter will be the one that would suffer it. He can still survive and take the new to another level, after all he did that with Brighton and now he would do it with Chelsea.

Yes I agree with you, Chelsea game has changed since the old owner was suspended

I had a gist with the man who came to paint my Father's house today, and it was all about how the game under Abramovic, the former Chelsea owner looked, compared to the current stats of the same club now. He had a kind of influence on the team and this made them outperform the opponents. The issue with the current team as obviously stated is the unsteady nature of their leadership. they are a very good side and with players who can deliver. Once they can conjure balance in the leadership the players and manager will get in form automatically. Now, former Brighton's team manager, which happens to be Chelsea's new manager, Graham Potter will have to show his worth by quickly adapting to the players and staff. I have no doubts in his ability because we have all come to know his former club, Brighton as a formidable team to look out for.

I agree that Potter is not a bad manager, but so wasn't Tuchel, anyone who thinks that Potter is a better manager than Potter would be kidding themselves. Could the team get better? Of course it can, but so it could have with Tuchel. However the ownership deal is real, that is a problem because in the long run if the ownership doesn't let the football people take care of the football stuff and put a good amount of money to be spent, then this team will get worse and worse. Abramovich spent so much money on Chelsea to make them better, on the other hand current guy didn't do that and this is the real cause why they do not have proper transfers and better roster and these bad results.

edit: by the way, I do not mean "not spend money" as in he didn't make any transfers, they did, they spent quite a lot in fact, spent like 200 million to make the team better, but the problem is they didn't get players that are superstars, and instead got players for way too high price, just to get them. He did transfers to show the fans he is doing something, if he spent this much money, he could have gotten so many more players that were better and would be amazing branding too. Look at the list now, 280 million spent, none of the names are globally known, worst transfer season by a team I have ever seen.

Arsenal were able to defeat Zurich yesterday in the Europa league group stage as young Marquinos scored in his first Arsenal debut and also gave an assist to prove his coach Mikel Arteta wrong.The 19 year old player gave an outstanding performance in his first debut for Arsenal and broke down in years as he scored for Arsenal.With what I saw last night,the player will really be one that Arsenal will be proud of in the future,just like Martinelli,he is energetic,pacy and good at dribbling.This was really a bargain buy for Arsenal,signing him for just 2 million Euros.

[boris singer]

Their differences are actually quite far from anything, on the other hand when looking at Everton's current performance even from last season they are actually not in good condition so this will obviously benefit Arsenal.
I think after the defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal should now realize that their condition is not good enough in defense so they have to improve on that.

Despite losing badly to Manchester United a few days ago, then let's see how Arsenal's performance today against Zurich. Arsenal seems to have no trouble winning their first game in Group A of the Europa League today given the quality of Arsenal's players. I think Arsenal are favorites to lead the group, but let's see.

If Arsenal can win today's match easily then I'm sure they will be very motivated to beat Everton for the Premier League game this weekend. Everton haven't won a match yet, so it shouldn't be a big deal for Arsenal to beat them.

In terms of quality against Zurich they won by a landslide and it is very natural that they won. But in this case they also can't completely ignore their defense line which still has gaps there. Even if the comparison against Everton is now quite big but still when they are not focused in defense Everton can threaten.

[Prince Malik]

It's a pity that all matches have been canceled all weekend. Just don't really understand why. Everyone wants to pay their respects to the late Queen, that's fine too, but why should you delete all matches? There are also other ways to show your respect at football matches, for example by having 1 minute of silence at the start of the match. There's more to that than shutting everything down. the EPL already has a very busy and tight schedule, which is now only going to become a bigger problem.

I don't think this will be a real problem because Epl players are used to play without rest and i think postponed the matches is more than necessary in such conditions and i Don this will have bad effect for the players

[Pokapoka124]

The possibility is definitely there and indeed I still feel it will be more difficult if there is a storm of injuries.
Their front line is still not tidy at the moment and Jota is also still in the healing phase so it is still difficult for them now.
But on the other hand this should not be an excuse for them now because their players are still mostly the same there are only a few changes and additions.

I guess that they are playing worse than they really are, that is the problem. People are finding the trouble with Liverpools roster, but the problem is not the roster but how they play. Look at Van Dijk, that dude was the best defender in the world for a while and now he plays like he doesn't even want to defend, and look at Salah, at a tiny moment in history, he was the best player in the world, he was overrated if you ask me but he played amazingly, now he does nothing. Just losing Mane can't make them this bad, he wasn't the real reason why they were good, of course he was great but not this much. They will recover and be better again if you ask me.

In this case, I think Klopp should give more direction to T. Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson who work at left and right back.
They help attack which is very good but on the other hand they also have to pay attention not to be too focused there because indeed if they are too focused on attack it is clear that this is something that happens over and over again because Van Dijk, Gomez and Fabinho clearly will not be able to provide the best defense when they play. Liverpool's left and right backs are up front.
Some Liverpool goals occurred because the defenders were in front and were late to return to position so that the opposing players were free to make goals.

The weaknesses in Klopp's strategies have been exploited this season, they have conceded more goals already this season than they conceded in the 6th round of the league last season which to me is not so good to start the season. It will good for Klopp if he can find the balance of the team and improve those weak spots and get back to winning.

But are you aware that Arsenal actually struggled to win that match?
Although Arsenal performed well overall, their creativity and goal stats in that match were not very good. They had 8 shots on goal, but only two goals were scored. I don't know what the problem is, but maybe it's about a bad finish.

PSV Eindhoven is Arsenal's next opponent. I'm not sure about PSV, but they also didn't lose their last game where a draw was fair for both teams. Arsenal will likely win again especially since they will be playing at home.

The premier league matches this weekend have already been postponed as a sign of mourning the death of the queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. The decision to postpone the events was passed by the English government in a 12 day mourning week. I can't believe there won't be league games this weekend, this will be a boring weekend for me, I can feel it already.

I am also feeling boring as I was reading in an official statement most chances we are going to have two weeks without any soccer match in England as they are going to for 12 days mourning and with this they are going to postpone two weeks matches which is surely not good idea but no one can do anything as this is surely all announced by Government which feeling sad for this great Queen which rule this country for more than 70 years which is longest by any English monarch in this modern era.

Hopefully now this period is going to be beneficial for few teams like Chelsea which just sacked their coach Tuchel and have new coach and good for Arsenal as well which lost their first match against Manchester United now they can be prepared for next match and can do better performance.

I really hope Chelsea have got this one right this time. Cause I don't see the decision to part ways with Tuchel and replacing him with Graham Potter who has barely made a name for himself. What happened to the likes of Zidane and Pochettino? Tuchels is a good coach and I feel he deserved a second chance which in my opinion he was not given. I believe in Tuchel and what he can achieve for the club.

Yeah I read that news and I think it is an expected one. The whole nation is mourning the Queen and you find others two days later having fun at stadium isn't an appropriated thing. We will miss good games indeed especially City - Spurs match unfortunately.

[lalabotax]

Liverpool players must forget the match against Napoli. They are focusing on a home match against Wolves. Liverpool never got a defeat at home, but they got 2 draws in the first 2 matches. For this match, I am optimistic that Liverpool will win it and get 3 points. They must realize their current position on EPL standings. If they miss 3 points in this match, they are getting further from the UCL zone, top 4. Klopp will push the players to play more aggressively to earn full points.

You are right, so far Liverpool have only won in 2 matches and they are still unable to compete with Brighton and Tottenham
Liverpool have wasting a lot of time, if they want to still compete then Liverpool must be consistent with 3 points
If you check the Liverpool match schedule you will see 4 difficult matches already waiting.

Indeed, moreover, their point was also very small different with Brentford, once they are failed again to win, they maybe overtaken by the team. Premier league is a leage where the competition is very tight, sometimes, a superior team has dropped their performance and then surprised with some other common clubs that always play ery well in every match. There is nothing you can do but always do your best in every match, optimize your performance, and also take every opportunity to win in order to always get maximum points.
In the next match, Liverpool shouldn't have a big problem against Wolves, they should be able to get a maximum of 3 points, but then again sometimes the performance on the field when playing is really beyond prediction.

It's a pity that all matches have been canceled all weekend. Just don't really understand why. Everyone wants to pay their respects to the late Queen, that's fine too, but why should you delete all matches?

In my opinion, there is no problem in the matches postponed, they are postponed, not deleted, because of the unpredictable condition happened in the country. We can deny that Queen Elizabeth II is the most influencing person in the country, she is the Queen, their queen is passed away, all everyone is mourning and focused on this incident.
It could be any way you think, but it's okay to hold off for a while out of respect for the queen because the time is so closed. You don't know how they are right now, how the country is grieving right now and what they are preparing and doing for the queen's death.

You are not alone, my weekend schedule usually comprises of the premier League as an important part of it. They should have added extra 6 minutes each to every premier League game this weekend to mark the 96yrs that she died instead, rather than postponing all the games. No premier league action, the next action to look forward to is the UCL in anticipation of the EPL to return in full momentum.

Just in the defense and there were mistakes, I think it was not necessary to change the formation for the game, because it is not about the players, in the defense were very good players. In principle, this match for Liverpool probably will not solve anything, they have another 5 games, I think they quietly make the playoffs

Liverpool kept a pretty high line in hopes to be able to attack more but instead left a lot of gaps that lead Napoli to take advantage of their quick wingers and forwards. On top of that, the defenders and GL were looking comfortable playing that way, which led to a few silly mistakes. A very bad day int he office for Liverpool players and coach.

It's hard to argue, I do not know how they even finished the second half after conceding 4 goals in the first, the score was a smash. It's good that there were no goals in their goal in the second half, maybe during the break the coach changed something in tactics and it worked (although it worked too late, it's very difficult to score so many goals).

I'm really shocked about the sudden news of tuchels replacement, I never saw this coming, I expected them to give him sometimes if he can fix things. I was not happy about the sudden replacement, and I think the new owners are very strict than abramovic they only want a perfect Job, but it was wrong treating tuchel in such way. Talking about his replacement I don't think Graham Potter's is certified for the replacement, cause he's a coach with a low profile. I think alot of us expected pochettino or zidane, but we can't jump into conclusions, he might be the right man for the job.

 premiere league games postponement is because premiere league is an England tournament and the death of the Queen has to be mourned all over England so we have to wait till the next two weeks before resuming back to the premier league.

At least this period will give clubs the chance to make adequate adjustments and possible replacements with enough training time, before the resumption of the league.

that's not a problem for me as UK was losing its queen. No doubt if UK's government was also passing it to delay EPL for a few days to give a huge respect to the queen that already passed. This week will not be so boring for you. you can still watch another competition in another country. They were not getting delaying like any competition in english. I meant we can still watch la liga and serie a. It was not so boring as you said that above.

Ten Hag are not interested in keeping Ronaldo in their squad. And we can see it very well now. Ronaldo is a very experienced player. However, Ten Hag is not interested in keeping Ronaldo in the starting XI. Ronaldo does not adapt himself well to the Manchester United team. When he was in the squad the previous season, there was a lot of disorganization in the team. Now, apart from Ronaldo, the Manchester United team is quite stable.
Ronaldo's career is probably coming to an end. Now he should look for a new club. He can go to less competitive leagues. However, Ronaldo can go to the Newcastle team. Because Newcastle is a rich club. So they can pay huge wages to Ronaldo.

I disagree with this analysis about Ronaldo unless you come up with a source that is the only way to prove that Ronaldo was involved with the disorganization of the team. Ronaldo was voted Manchester United's best player last season and he was also the highest goal scorer for the team last season despite the poor form of Manchester United I see no reason why Ten Hag will come up with the claim that Ronaldo that is full of football experience is yet to adapt to his playing strategy.


Napoli was interested in signing Ronaldo this transfer window but Manchester United boss Ten Hag said he was not for sale so I see no reason why he will not be used to start a game if he doesn't want him to move to another club.

Now I think we have to think twice no matter what. This makes the situation extremely complicated. Ronaldo got his chance and they lost this home game, which is actually a massive event. How could they lose this home game? Ronaldo from the start and yet lose against a semi strong PD team? It makes all of it more complicated.

Whilst i believe Liverpool will come good in the Premier League, the thing is that, i hope by the time they start playing good it wouldn't be too late,

I'm sure Liverpool can do it, but it takes effort and hard work to keep the players at their best. The problem is in the depth of the squad this season, they don't have good substitutes when their first team struggles to find a way to win.

Well right now depth is the problem for them but I don't think it is affecting them that much. If we talk about their defence line, its all their main man and still they are struggling. In fact, Liverpool have conceded first in 6 games out 8 matches which goes to show how much poor they are performing in defence line. To win a match it is important to hold the opponents also which Liverpool are failing to do so.

It is a similar situation to what Klopp had when he still was a coach in Dortmund. The players are used to him and he now has to find a way to get the best out of these players. They are all amazing, but what are you gonna do if the effort you put in doesn't resonate?

[TelolettOm]

The weaknesses in Klopp's strategies have been exploited this season, they have conceded more goals already this season than they conceded in the 6th round of the league last season which to me is not so good to start the season. It will good for Klopp if he can find the balance of the team and improve those weak spots and get back to winning.

Besides the other team knowing the weaknesses of Klopp's strategies, there is also a big decrease in Liverpool players' confidence and their winning mentality. Klopp needs to change his strategy and he also must improve the players' mentality. These both factors seem to have a big influence to make a decrease in Liverpool performance. But I am sure Klopp will have the solution to deal with the problems, he is a smart and experienced coach. He only needs some time to handle this situation.
