Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Docnaster]

I'm still not seeing any team pattern or practice in Chelsea gameplay, All I'm seeing is the individual brilliance of players. I think this will be Graham Porter's chance of proving himself cuz there have always been excuses that the newly signed players need time to understand themselves and now I think it's long enough. Porter no more has excuses if he draws or loses today's match, he has to go else chelsea will be worst.

Chelsea have never been this good in a very long time. Just watching the game, you can see what effect the new signings from the January transfer window have done to the team. They certainly looks more dangerous than ever. K. Havertz has been caught on way too many offside and his really got to watch it, other than that, the 3 guys (Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke & Joao Felix) right behind K. Havertz has been particularly dangerous not to watch out for.

With this kind of play, I think Graham Potter is going to win this one. Certainly an important 3 points for his side and it would be a huge step towards getting into some winning ways.

So far, the first half of the two clubs can still be said to have played in a balanced way and were able to build on each other's attacks. Felix scored his first goal at Chelsea and that can be considered a good development. But keep in mind that their opponent West Ham is not an easy club to predict. Therefore, the draw goal that Emerson created is a warning that his opponent still has a threatening game. So what will Potter do next to cover the backline so far West Ham quick counterattacks have always eluded defenders.

Joao managed to break the deadlock and indeed this could be proof that indeed he didn't fall short after a false debut but admittedly it was short lived.
Chelsea's condition is still lacking in terms of defense and this is still homework for them.
At the moment they are still very lacking when dealing with the quick counterattacks that were made, let's hope that the second half will go well for Chelsea.

Unfortunately they had to concede a goal as they had taken the lead in the 16th minute through a goal from their new signing Joao Felix so they finished the first half in a draw. There is still 45 minutes into the second for them to get back ahead and decide their negative result in this match. I agree with you that Potter has no reason why they should lose this match.

Both teams were not in the best of form. Perhaps in this match the situation will be different from their last match. West Ham and Chelsea have the same motivation and I can feel that the atmosphere of the London Stadium will be interesting to watch.

The line-up is confirmed, Joao Felix is included in the starting line-up and he will be a good duo with Enzo Fernandez.
Bowen and Rice will be the servants who will provide service to Antonio up front for West Ham.
I'm assuming that this match is more likely to be a draw.

The game has started and Chelsea look to take over the game and it looks like they want to score a quick goal to make their game more comfortable going forward. Even though Chelsea is in a form that cannot be completely trusted, I think it would not hurt to give them confidence in them by betting on Chelsea's win in this match. I'll give it a try, even if it's risky.  

It's been 35 minutes into the match and what I said about Joao Felix being a good duo to build Chelsea's attack do you still not believe?
Did you watch how Joao Felix scored in the 16th minute?
There's still plenty of time left in the game and West Ham will be looking to avoid dropping points in this one and again Bowen set up Emerson's equalizer. It will be an interesting match until the end of time.

I'd say it was a nice goal, but it was all about the assist from Enzo. First Chelsea goal for Joo Félix. This Portuguese wonder kid has a lot of expectations. His performance so far has been really impressive, but if he wasn't so careless with the red card challenge, he could have made a much bigger impact for Chelsea. It's clear that Enzo is going to be the next big thing for Chelsea. Nevertheless, West Ham equalized before halftime. It should not end in a tie or loss. Honestly, Chelsea should be winning comfortably as they have dominated.

[Issa56]

The match between Chelsea and West ham will be very interesting, since both clubs will be fighting for a win. The two clubs are not in a good form,this make it uneasy to predict which team will win the match. Chelsea hasn't won any match in their last two matches,which makes me think they might not be able to win the game. West ham also has it's own problem so I will say that the probability of any of these two clubs wining is 50-50.

I think the game is really fun, Chelsea controled the match in the first half of the match, but West Ham performance is not really bad also, Joao Felix performance have been really brilliant in today's match, he scored the first goal for Chelsea but am still expecting more goals from him in the second half of the match. Since West Ham equalized, I noticed they are trying to play a defensive game which is making it kind of difficult for Chelsea to break, maybe West Ham are not really after win, they are satisfied with even draw and they are trying to maintain it. Let's see what will happen in the second half of the match but I believe Chelsea will win the match.

[lizarder]

The second round has started, Chelsea need a win in this match to improve its position in the standings. Joao Felix got two goals in the first half, but it's a shame the first goal was annulled for being caught in an offside. Chelsea played well in the first half, but West Ham United's defense was solid enough and that made it difficult for Chelsea's attack to find space, even though Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Kai Havertz managed to get into the penalty box several times.

Lukasz Fabianski has performed well under the crossbar and has made three saves so far, if West Ham United are able to play defensively like the first half, it is not impossible that the game will end in a draw, because actually the game shown by the Chelsea defender was also not optimal in the first half.

[Smartvirus]

It's been impressive from Chelsea so far, haven't been able to get 2 offside goals into the net before we got one on sight from Joao Felix and they've got West Ham United stepping up there game. West Ham United seemed to have been looking towards a more seat back and hold strong while, playing Chelsea in an offside position sort of game strategy but, they soon realised its not going to be enough to hold Chelsea down in this game. They've got Chelsea players just running easily on the backline and could easily make one count.
Good enough the West Ham United side stepped up and where able to convert an opportunity to bring Chelsea to a level. The second half is already on the way so, let's see howits going to unfold.

So far I’m impressed with how Chelsea is playing. Improvements in every position except the left back. Lotus-cheek looks quite decent pairing with Enzo and Felix.‪Overall play has been good; the three boys behind Havertz; Madueke, João Felix and Mudryk have been brilliant. There has been positive football…On the other hand Cucurella should UP his game. Mudryk is always trying to come up with something whenever he's on the ball but for some reason, Cucurella just doesn't see him most of the time.

I'm curious about Arsenal vs Brentford. Arsenal recently suffered a very surprising defeat against weak Everton. Brentford, on the other hand, has the most points in the league in recent matches. Brentford are also undefeated in 9 league matches and are certainly hoping to extend this streak also against the leader. Since they have already won against Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City this season, they have reason to count on a good result today as well. However, I believe that Arsenal's last defeat was just an accident at work and they will get 3 points again today.

This accident shattered faith in the strength of the team. Even if Everton, for a moment, located almost at the very bottom of the standings, win Arsenal, who could not oppose anything, then what could happen in the match against Brentford. Practically everything. As you noticed, they have already defeated some of the strongest in the league. Is it the turn of victory over Arsenal?

I agree with you. To be honest, all am seeing in the Chelsea team is the newly signed players displaying good performance without a particular playing pattern, yes, I agree Chelsea's performance has been good because they are dominating the game right from the first half but porter can't continue like this if he wants to win matches.


Just when I was about dropping my phone the home team have taking the lead the score line is now 2:1 in favour of Westham United. Hard luck for the home team the goal of Tomas Soucek was ruled out as offside. With less than 5 minutes before the final whistle, can we see a win from any of the team? I guess no.

At the 81+ minutes the match between Chelsea vs west ham is still on a tite 1:1 goals and if care is not taken this match may end with a draw as both clubs are holding head bound to make sure to drive home their point, Chelsea players are more defensive at the moment and the chance of conceiving another goal from west ham united is slim unlike west ham the defense is a bit under pressure and any moment there may be possible goal score.
-But draw is more visible at the moment most especially now that the match is in it last minutes to end.

One points each for both teams, but fairly Chelsea would have won the game had that penalty been awarded in that last few minutes of the game. Souchek clearly used his hands to stop the ball in the disguise of trying to break his fall with his hand while falling, but it was a penalty for me, and the VAR officials should have given it a second look. Chelsea are also lucky that the goal West Ham scored in the last minutes of the game as well was ruled out for offside else it would have been entirely bad for their coach Graham Potter. Chelsea played well, but they can do better as they have shown in the past, when this new Chelsea team start playing better as a team, they will be a difficult team to play against.

[Docnaster]

A very disappointing substitution from Graham Porter. Ever since the first half Kai Havert and Cucurella were the weak point in the Chelsea squad and I was expecting something better than substituting Madueke and Mudryke for mount and Ziyech thereby leaving Harvert.
It's so saddening to watch Chelsea play like an average team and I don't think Porter will ever do well, it's no more making sense.

[ShowOff]

It's been 35 minutes into the match and what I said about Joao Felix being a good duo to build Chelsea's attack do you still not believe?
Did you watch how Joao Felix scored in the 16th minute?
There's still plenty of time left in the game and West Ham will be looking to avoid dropping points in this one and again Bowen set up Emerson's equalizer. It will be an interesting match until the end of time.

Disappointing, at least that's how all Chelsea fans feel right now because their team again failed to get maximum points against West Ham. The match had ended for 1-1, but Chelsea really dominated this match well and created a lot of chances. Unfortunately, Chelsea had to fail in the end.

Somehow West Ham played so insistently and defended well until the end of the match. I don't think it's big problem for West Ham, but it's definitely big problem for Chelsea. Graham Potter should be fired, that's how it should be so that Chelsea's appearance is better for the rest of the season. Not giving him many chances at this time makes a lot of sense, otherwise Chelsea will really fall down.

A very unsatisfactory result for Chelsea. They have shared the points several times and weren't too surprised in the second half. Like most people won't take it too seriously and might pass up the bet for Chelsea. Without consecutive wins, Chelsea must survive for the umpteenth time.

In conclusion, Graham Potter did not make any changes even though he was wasteful in the transfer market. What we saw was the performance in the second half, neither Felix nor Enzo could do much either. Havertz, as usual, always looks bad in terms of attack.

With such a squad to show such a game is of course a failure of the coach. At first there was some team play, runs, players tried to open up, but then it all ended quickly and it all came down to individual actions. Felix and Enzo played well, the rest played either poorly or very poorly, like Cucurella. Kai Havert also played poorly, but at least he tried, but he can't play forward no matter how hard he tries.

Well and at the end probably after Gallagher's kick there should have been a penalty and it's strange that it wasn't given, the penalty seems to be a clean one, hand play in his own penalty box.
Why they didn't watch VAR is also unclear.

Arsenal Vs Brentford match is a match that's difficult to predict, both teams have had good performances recently even though Arsenal surprised everyone with their loss to a team that is in the relegation zone. Arsenal are highly favored in this match because apart from being at the top of EPL standings, they are also playing at home, so their chances of winning this match are getting bigger. I personally wouldn't bet on this match, it's hard to predict what the result will be.

Anything is possible in todays match between Arsenal and Brentford but Arsenal still remains the favourite. Everton win was strictly luck and not tactics.  Brentford will have to do more than their usual performance to win Arsenal by the way in the 9 matches where Brentford was undefeated most of their games ended in draw. I will keep my fingers crossed but it will be a sure three point for Arsenal.

Very disappointing when you compare that with how they started off in the first half. I didn't see same energy from Chelsea in the first half, didn't see them bring that to the second half. Yeah, they were dominant all game but the second half came without much enthusiasm and was very poor.
Chelsea were just lucky today to have gone home with a point if you ask me. They remained very unstable with every set piece from West Ham. Good enough VAR was there to rule off what couldhave been the deciding goal for West Ham, all thanks to James yo have pushed Rice into an offside position and he stayed offside eventually.

Chelsea ought to have won this one!
