Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Joao Felix was very impressive in his debut game, it's just unfortunate that he made that rough tackle that consequently earned him a red card, it's a pity he miss three matches at the time Chelsea key players had been on sideline due to injury this will be serious consign for   Graham Potter whose side is on the streak of poor runs in the league, though Chelsea dominated the match with possession and had more shots on goal, however the final score matter most, I give credit to Fulham for utilizing their chances perfectly and have not win against Chelsea since 2006.

Yes Joao Felix is ​​playing well but after getting a red card on his first debut I don't know how far he will go with the Chelsea squad.
Graham Potter again implemented the formation of 3 centre-backs in the match against Fulham even though we know that several Chelsea players are currently injured if Graham Potter installs 4 defenders then there is a possibility they will not lose the match because playing with 4 defenders makes the performance of the Chelsea team look experiencing a bit of an improvement when many players are injured rather than relying on 3 center backs.

It seems that Chelsea can't wake up from their nightmare yet, and I think it will be very tough for Chelsea to get into the top 4 this season. Actually, they had some good chances against Fulham, but they didn't seem to know how to finish those opportunities. What is clear Chelsea has a pretty serious problem, and I guess if in the next few games they don't improve immediately, then Graham Potter would have been on the brink.

I don't think easy with Chelsea reached top fourth standing position in this season due half season ended their position standing stuck and drop at 10th placed. Its not unusual standing position due Chelsea as top fourth standing and having consistency performance last season actually can reached UEFA Champion League spot standing position. Remaining many points left with Arsenal and can't expected with Chelsea opportunity with domestic league tittle, but 10 points left have possibility for Chelsea with Manchester United still not close chance with Champion League spot for next season.

Hey there guys! I'm leaving my betting tip for the following game:

Aston Villa   Vs Leeds United

I believe a match controlled by the home team is expected, however, the two teams are capable of providing amazing soccer shows, with several goal opportunities. Then again, the “Above 2.5 Goals” market was a winner in 63% of Leeds United's away games. That said, I believe the most probable outcome will be for us to see several goals in this match.

Above 2,5 Goals

Graham Potter was really under immense pressure following Chelsea's loss to Fulham. It was Chelsea's 5th away defeat and their 7th of the season. Chelsea started the match with an optimistic attitude and even managed to equalize after trailing by a goal from their former players in the first half.

But unfortunately Chelsea's plans went awry after the referee forced Joao Felix to leave the game with a red card. Chelsea again trailed 2-1 to Fulham and that was the final score for the game. Throughout the match Chelsea tried their best, I even believe they would have won if Felix had not committed such a heavy foul. But what power, Chelsea must lose.

Above 2,5 Goals

I checked their h2h, analyzed both clubs and what I noticed is that this kind of match is difficult to predict, most of their matches in the past were under 2.5, but some were over 2.5 though . Both clubs in this season are not playing convincing matches as both defenses are not strong which can make over 2.5 goals possible, but the possibility is low in my opinion because of lack of better goal scorers. I just like to just overlook this kind of matches and wait for a better match.

Whatever thing that might have been the case for the lose to Fulham, Chelsea is too big for Graham Potter to manage.
Chelsea needs an experienced coach that knows what he's doing in the first place. Looking at Potter he's totally a confused Man and doesn't know how to contain a wining pressure and turn games around. Under his watch Chelsea team has become so porous in games like never before.

Graham Potter got no excuses for not doing well so far, Some of the players in Chelsea are newly bought players and the transfer window is still open if he thinks the players in there isn't good enough for him to use.

[Pulsar77]

I also think Felix's performance was really impressive. The red card left a really bad impression on him maybe but I still don't want to criticize him very harshly. The sliding tackle wasn't on purpose surely. I mean it wasn't due to his anger etc.. He must be very regretful for causing his team to lose this match when they had the potential to win instead. I will be expecting him to be back much better. It was just unlucky for him. He can even return with a goal in his next match after seeing his effort in his first match already.

I don't think Potter will drop him from the starting eleven after the incident as well. He doesn't have so many options already and Felix is one of the best options. Maybe we might see Fofana while Felix is suspended.

[Zackgeno96]

Currently the game between Aston Villa and Leeds United. Already after 3 minutes the home team managed to find the net. No goals scored since then. It is a match between two mediocre mid-engines. I don't expect much spectacle in this match. It has already been written about Felix that this is one of the worst debuts in the EPL. Receiving a red card in your first game for your team, that will be remembered for a long time. You hardly see that. And Felix is not an aggressive player in itself, which is why it surprises me all the more. Now he has a bit more room to get used to the games, as he will now be suspended for a few games.

It's a pity that Felix's first game with Chelsea ended sadly with a red card and an unexpected loss. Regardless of the quality of the team, I am certain that no team deserves to be underrated. Apart from the red card Felix proved that he is an asset and not a liability to the club. He needs to learn how to place his foot during his tackling because if he fails to learn, he might keep getting cards. I am not sure coach Graham Potter would keep benching him because of this single mistake
team is suffering from injury woes. So Felix might get more privilege to play after serving his suspension. I am sure he would soon get used to the playing pattern of the English Premier League.

Since being appointed coach, Graham Potter is really in doubt. Even the majority of Chelsea supporters and pundits say that the decision to sack Tuchel was a bad one, which seems true after Graham Potter's initial failed campaign to date. Chelsea are too big for Potter I don't think so but maybe Potter is not a good match for Chelsea who have such high expectations of his body as a top team.

Graham Potter doesn't seem comfortable with his situation at Chelsea either, but he has signed on to this big project as his first step towards becoming a great coach. It's a shame he hasn't been able to prove much, but he will still be defended.

[BRINIRHA]

Aston Villa are favoured against Leeds maybe but I'm not fully trusting them honestly. Leeds have a decent history against them considering the head-to-head games. In this season things aren't much different for these teams as well. There is only a five-point gap between them in the standings. Aston Villa are just ahead by a small gap in my opinion.

I expect that to reflect on the result of this game as well. Aston Villa can win this by one goal in my opinion. I expect both teams to score at the same time.

However as hosts Aston villa played well in the first half. And I think in the second half Aston Villa could have dominated the game a bit more. Leeds seems to be getting more and more difficult because trailing by 1 goal in the first half is quite difficult. because in the second half they have to focus more on making attack after attack to be able to level the score at this time. But Leeds must also be able to keep their defense strong. because Aston Villa will definitely play more aggressively in the second half.

[izsara]

Fulham won this match after a lot of fighting. I was surprised to see Fulham's game. Fulham performed well at first but they played a little bad game in the middle of the game. But Chelsea got 1 red card in 58 minutes and became very weak. And  Fulham took advantage of this opportunity to win the match. It was a very good game between the two teams.

Joao's exit in the second half was very good momentum for Fulham and it was proven that even without Mitrovic in their squad, they were still able to do a good job against 10 man Chelsea.
On the other hand, Chelsea was really depressed after losing 1 player because with that they were even more pressured and continued to survive even though they failed to make the score better for them.

[Asiska02]

In addition Manchester United have had a successful run in big home matches in the league so far. This is another one and I think Manchester United's chance of winning here is not low at all.

Manchester United plays Manchester City at home once more. True, they've had some good and comfortable wins at home this season, but that shouldn't make them complacent in their match against Manchester City. They are a worthy opponent to face, and they must take the match seriously if they are to move up the table. Manchester City is also on the verge of passing Arsenal for first place, and they will not take this match lightly.

Felix's poor debut distracted everyone from the fact that Chelsea's disaster continues: after the break, Chelsea have one win (against Bormouth), one draw and three defeats in 5 games. I used to be sure that Potter had time to work, but now I'm not sure anymore. If Chelsea lose to Dortmund then they will most likely sack him.

Felix must have ruined his debut, even if it was not on purpose, but the referee did him justice by showing him the red card. Now is not the moment to indulge in blame games; what happened is now in the past. Can Graham Potter still be expected to stay as manager for a longer period of time if he fails to put together a winning team in the next few games?

I think the problem is not entirely in Graham Potter of course he has the capacity to become a coach in the Chelsea team because he also has a track record
I think one of the reasons is that the players in the squad are not entirely what he wants I mean there are some target players who have not been brought in
I will prefer to see Potter staying at Chelsea until next season and let him get the target player.

Felix's performance was good against Fulham, but he didn't have many minutes to prove himself useful up front for Chelsea. Several times I saw him threaten the Fulham goal, but Bernd Leno is also in good form making a few saves. As for his imperfect debut, I don't think Felix deserves blamed for Chelsea's loss. He did what he should even though he didn't really have to commit the offense.

[Furious 7]

What hurts the most is when you have your first match at a club and get a red card, Joao Felix must have felt the pain of a red card for his new team and this defeat also seems unacceptable because Fulham from so many matches against Chelsea they rarely won, their last victory came a long time ago.
Graham Potter's position will be increasingly difficult at Chelsea and what he said a while ago is true this will be his hardest job at Chelsea https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12784388/graham-potter-chelsea-job-hardest-in-football-after-ownership-change-says-under-fire-manager

Apart from the feeling of guilt he will also definitely get some criticism because regardless he can be said to be a factor when Chelsea lost this game.
But it has happened and he must not let this drag on because he still has a lot of work to improve performance.
Precisely this should be used as a lesson so that he is not too hard so that he can improve himself better.

[Falconer]

Yes Joao Felix is ​​playing well but after getting a red card on his first debut I don't know how far he will go with the Chelsea squad.

What's wrong with Chelsea, should I blame Felix or should I blame Potter for the defeat?
I think all the players have to take responsibility for the loss, and Kepa Arrizabalaga who failed to anticipate the ball was also very disappointing.
Chelsea are in the worst of times, that is a fact at the moment. They lost a lot of points which they should have taken perfectly, but their form is not good.

I don't want to blame anyone at this point and I would prefer to see what happens for Chelsea. Potter couldn't sit back and just keep silent, it would threaten his position because in his hands Chelsea looked even worse. He needs to do something but I think Chelsea would rather sack him than give him more money to spend on the players he wants.

[Piesel]

Leeds are a good team and this season they have been scoring so decent amount of goals. Some of these were scored against top PL teams so they shouldn't be mistook as an easy opponent. Only thing that lets them down is their defence as most of the times they aren't able to hold down to the advantage in the game. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how Emery selects his defence and what message does he give to them in order to hold Leeds attacks.

If Leeds play at home, of course it can be considered unfortunately this time Leeds played away so they need more luck to win.
Besides Aston Villa is not a weak team sometimes they cannot be predicted they once defeated Chelsea and Tottenham.

Aston villa is no a mach to Leicester United and if you have being following Aston villa recent performance you will see how there were able to best other stronger clubs to be ahead of Leicester in the league table.

Even though football can be unpredictable and Aston villa led to the match with just 1 goal difference, since the first half but bjt there is no possibility for equalization as there have their defense locked in to walk away with the 1 goal.

It was indeed a grieve mistake on the part of Joao Felix but, you can understand the pressure he must have been in to have started a game after only just arriving. No much training with the team yet, no friendlies and yet, he was already featuring featuring in a home match against Fulham. It was going to be a lot of pressure for him with so many expectations on his shoulders and him trying to prove himself worthy.

Let alone for the red card, he was good enough for me, his touch of the ball was almost perfect and on most times, managed to guide the ball just where it needed be. Dropped a couple of balls for K. Havertz but, his conversion is just bad.

[baeva]

If somehow Fulham gets a positive result today , we might see some big changes again on the Chelsea managerial side but until then , Chelsea should be aware that Fulham are on a great run lately and 3 points today will bring them just 2 points behind Tottenham and european spots  . For Chelsea , is kinda 3 points or nothing today as I don't expect Chelsea to play for a draw and players knows that another negative result will make the road towards UCL spots even harder...if that is even possible for them anymore.

Yes, Chelsea need only win to climb to 7th in the table. But this win will not allow them to get higher than Fulham, because Chelsea have a smaller goal difference. In addition, they won't be satisfied with a draw, because the goal difference will leave them in 10th place, which looks terrible... On the other hand, they will not go lower than 10th place in the table in case of defeat

Chelsea for this season is totally not up to be among the title contenders due to their inconsistent performance this season. They should look ahead by retaining their position and possibly fight harder to go up incase any of the teams on top slip.  They should strengthen their squad with this transfer window and work on building team spirit
As Manchester united, Chelsea and Liverpool seem to struggle on the league, a team with younger players, pace, dribbling and passing skill is the trick the teams on top have in common, this is what Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester united has lacked in common. Just saying.

Any titles this season are out of the question, they won't be able to... But to try to get into the Champions League zone to play there next season can try, I think this is more than a feasible task. And I think there should be no other tasks at the moment, if only to strengthen the team. But I think fans will remember this season for a long time.
