Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Avirunes]

Arsenal do have a 5-point lead at the moment, but that doesn't make it any more favored for the title.

5 points lead with 1 less game compared to City so thats 8 points of lead assuming that Arsenal and City are both tied at exactly 2 games. Thats huge differences though and they are the favour to win the EPL as of now. They are in good form right now and Arteta with his squad has the chance to bring back the EPL throphy to Emirates stadium after 19 years so they are not going to slip up

* Also Arteta will be youngest PL manager to win the Premier League after none other than our own great Arsene Wenger who won when he was 42 years of age while Arteta will be 41 if he wins PL this season.

Yeah 8 points is massive for us but it's not much of we drop back to back points like last time we did in the end. I think it matters very much to us this time and while 8 points is a very big difference we might want to take things carefully still. Hopefully City will drop more points as I think they still are to face big teams more than Arsenal in whatever is remaining. Also there are City-Arsenal game which can create a huge impact to this gap so anything can happen still. I would say City are still very much in the game.

8 points to get if Arsenal won the match against Everton. Don't forget that the match isn't played yet, it is a tomorrow match! Arsenal may get a draw or a loss, a club in the relegation zone sometimes can surprise us.

Sure, 8 points gap is a big difference but Arsenal can't feel they are safe enough. Man City still has a chance overtaking Arsenal points. There are still 18 remaining matches (20 MP now), so there are still many opportunities for any change in the EPL standings.

Of course it wasn't nice to see him getting a red card in his first official match with them already. But it was a really unlucky red card at the same time. He didn't have a bad intention but he couldn't save himself from that incident.

It was a big lesson for him. A red card in the first match will be difficult to forget, it may bring a bad impact on his mentality. However, Felix is an experienced and professional player, I think he must have a way to deal with that situation. Let's see how his performance in the next match, if he can play better, it means he can deal with the situation. But if he can't perform better, the coach must take serious attention to motivate him.

I think it's not fair to go hard on Joao Felix too much now. Because he is still a skilled striker and can be very useful for Chelsea until the end of the season.

Of course it wasn't nice to see him getting a red card in his first official match with them already. But it was a really unlucky red card at the same time. He didn't have a bad intention but he couldn't save himself from that incident. It was too late for that after the sliding tackle attempt. He must also be very regretful for that and I'm pretty sure he will be more careful from now on. Felix still seemed passionate in the Fulham match before the red card. Potter should continue giving him chances as much as possible.

Honestly, I don't think there is much Felix will show us in the Premier League, most especially in Chelsea. He is one of the signings Chelsea did not even need, but to our surprise they signed him.

Chelsea has a squad filled up with recently signed players, and I am not even sure how they are even going to use all of them. Speak of wasting money, Chelsea is at the very top.

This is not necessarily. I think when you say this it's because you are only focused on his game on his really bad debut with a red card received.
Joao is one of the better players and it's too much to judge him on a poor debut.
He still has time to adjust to himself at the moment but must be mentally strong because the blasphemy will surely continue even if he is a new player because his debut did not go well.

[izsara]

In terms of opportunities obviously it's getting better for Manchester City because even in this game they are the away team.
Previously they lost to Manchester City after winning 2 goals first so their chances are still there actually as long as they are still disciplined in defense unlike their previous meeting.

I think this reverse fixture between City and Spurs would be completely different from what we witnessed in the first fixture. The first leg was a game of two halfs, Spurs had the first half (of which they were leading 2-nil at the break), whilst City had a second half to remember (of which they came back from two goals down to win 4-2). I think this time around it is going to be a pretty straightforward victory for City; i sense that Pep's men are going to have an extra spring in their steps from now until the end of the season, we have come to the business end of the season, and the CL is even about to restart, thus i am pretty sure Pep would be looking at his boys and telling them that this is the right time to rediscover their impeccable form.

At the moment they are guests and of course in this game Tottenham cannot be underestimated.
When he said Pep knew what they had to do in this game it wasn't Conte nor was it the same they knew it would be difficult for them if they still played like they did in the second half of the first meeting.
The scheme will still be the same as strengthening the defense and as much as possible even if there are not 3 points at least there must be 1 point.

[Wiwo]

Fulham vs Chelsea slated for 21:00 Friday is going to be very tough for both clubs, but as a fan I can easily connect it to the club that will be winning the match later in today.
Chelsea look to be overconfident because there have been a number of few match the Chelsea club have been active since for that is the owners of days.

Been beaten once doesn't mean much but, been beaten twice is the very an act of subjugation. For a team like Tottenham, at least they've got to go there and get a draw, to share points with Pep other than let him tide on them and get all 6 points from there two meetings.  It's not going to tell well of Conte's management or the team they've got now in there squad. Am hoping it won't be an easy game but, Spurs remains what they've they've from there previous Manchester City meetings and they surely don't look like a team that can beat Manchester City but, getting a draw won't be asking too much or out of place.

Chelsea finally got their man in the eleventh hour, imo he is definitely not worth anything close to that amount, but i guess it is what it is and i hope he performs for his new club.

Oh, you mean Joao Felix?? When he's got red card on a first games? Hehe... let's see what he's got in stock.
I can't believe the decided to let jorginho out to arsenal on a minor deal rate of a price as low as 12 milli euros,.... I'm actually trying to figure out if he really had any problem during play or what? He was actually the core man on the Chelsea's midfield and his performances were superb -imho, his contract shoulda been renewed atleast.
The Italian has gladly accepted the transfer - in my own discretions -- cus he's actually leaving the 10th position to the first instantaneously..lmao...he's got nothing to worry about.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Felix has a lot to offer to Chelsea, just the single game he's had already says alot of he was signed permanently that would have been a big issue for the premier league because they're it really ready for him.
Jorginho is already old and a tired player besides that the arrival of Enzo Fenandez would make him having less game. So it's a good decision moving to London rivals Chelsea who are top of the league. So far I see Chelsea has done the best job in the world this transfer window

Newcastle should be able to win against West Ham this week. There is a huge difference here. Newcastle are in a great shape as they haven't lost for a long time. They are still the third-placed team in the standings now. This isn't a tough game for them as well. They are one of the most successful home teams now. They haven't lost any home game so far. However they have many draws so they need to be more effective in scoring in this one.

West Ham are still trying to get away from the relegation zone. They are one of the worst away teams as well with only 1 win. I think they won't be able to resist Newcastle.

That's gonna be an experiment match for potter. There are so many combinations that need to be tried. Chelsea itself has so many players on its bench. i hope that if we will see the performance from enzo and new players that are being bought by Chelsea. Fulham has a better position compared with Chelsea in the premier league but it doesn't mean fulham can beat Chelsea easily. I hope there are so many improvements that happened with the club since some new players are coming to the club. I will watch it full game.
it would be very good seeing the new stars from Chelsea to perform against fulham

[Issa56]

Seriously have been thinking about that also, people are having confidence in Chelsea to win the match, probably its because of the recent signing which they did, we all know Chelsea performance have been really bad this season, even clubs that are not suppose to win them are defeating them, but I don't know why people are really confident this time around that Chelsea will win Fulham. It will be a difficult match for the two teams but in the next few hours we are going to know who the winner will be, but am also having little confidence that Chelsea will win the match.

The hammer's are currently stepping back the way they finally play with the last premier league game, they won two goals ahead without conceding also.
Newcastle are in there first final after forty years of not being involved in a football final.
I expect them to continue same way they did against Southampton this weekend, three goals are surely resulting in the game and Newcastle to win. Longstaff was responsible for the goals to help them go Wembley.

it's supposed to be the new players from chelsea who will be contributing a lot to the club. That's why the match against fulham looks very interesting caused by we do know how much money was already been spent by chelsea. That being said that if there are so many players will be seen by many people. that will become the first test for chelsea's new player. The match against fulham has been waiting by so many parties. I think that there will be so many pros and cons after the match agianst fulham.

yeah, I fan Chelsea also, but i have to be realistic for this situation, as we know how their performance in the last 5 matches, I still doubt that even play at home, Chelsea can easy win, bad possibility is loss or draw, because, on previous match, Fulham has beat Chelsea 2-1, that possible repeat when they have the same condition on situation.

[SOKO-DEKE]

I think at this point there is so little to be expected from Chelsea this season, except for the recent new signings that the club is relying on to contribute to the development of the team but if you ask me I think Chelsea will be a team to watch out for next season but not this season anymore. The best they can fight for now is top four position to qualify for champions league.

Yes, I believe with you that nothing Chelsea can do to catch up with this season premier league trophy because their far behind due to their points against those teams topping the league. And as for the top four on the table it won't be that easy because Manchester united and Newcastle are also currently in form and I don't think those two teams will like to lose their opportunity,especially Newcastle which have not been qualifying for champions league over a long time.

In football, anything is possible, we’ve seen that so many times when the underdogs go ahead and win the game. Tottenham is a big team with superb players and amazing attacking style as well.
Manchester City is looked upon to win the game cause they need it to catch up to Arsenal and all that. But Tottenham has been known to perform and play very good football while playing at home.
Could they use the motivation of playing at home and win the game?

We all believe that anything can happen in football, but currently Manchester city is better than Tottenham and with that Manchester city have bigger opportunity to win the match than Tottenham. but let see what will happen as you have said.

Chelsea is favourite in this match. Playing home is an advantage although it might be the opposite for some teams. The new signing might also push the team psychologically just like the recent bad results of Fulham. Bookies are giving Chelsea good odds to win.
The ambiguous situation that Chelsea created made their fans perplexed about their chances to win in fact.

If not for the new signings chelsea is having, I don’t think they will be able to win Fulham, but with their new players am sure they are having higher chances of winning. Felix is a newly signed Chelsea player and his performance was really fantastic in the first match he played for Chelsea, we know he received a red card in the match, he couldn’t complete the match and he has not been able to play any match for Chelsea again, he has been serving his punishment, but he will be having opportunity to play for Chelsea in todays match and am sure he will definitely be careful this time around and am expecting him to perform better in todays match.

It stands that Chelsea is the favorite but they just bought all their signings and you need to implement them carefully so that they work. Fulham has an upperhand with their team because they play really good team play while Chelsea isnt still close to that level. But a win is a must for Chelsea.

Why should a win be a must for Chelsea when they are not playing good, Fulham is even above them in the table but with just one point, I do not like to attach myself to this kind of matches because it is possible that Chelsea may not meet what people are expecting, I will prefer to just go for over 2.5 of the total goals that would be scored by both teams which can give me a better odd. Let us see what would happen, I too will say Chelsea is the favorite and it is their home, but they are not meeting up to what people expected of them.

The match against Fulham shall not be considered only for experimental purpose. I meant yeah I'm sure potter will try to include some new players in the starting line up like mudryk or enzo. The problem is they have only very short time to build the chemistry once chelsea will continue its journey in the EPL against Fulham. Im not sure if there will be good team work between Chelsea's new players. Im sure that if there will be some miscommunications between any players.
I hope that if the new players of Chelsea can perform so well and win the match against Fulham. There shall not be another red card like what happened with felix.
