Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[W Jr.]

Maybe I wasn't surprised by Chelsea's draw against West Ham because I didn't fully believe in the performance of coach Graham Potter and his players, this kept Chelsea in 9th place in the standings. Meanwhile, the result that I think is very surprising is that Arsenal again failed to get a win after being held to a draw by Brentford at the Emirates Stadium. This result made Mikel Arteta have to keep working hard in the next match because he again failed to widen the distance from Manchester City in the standings.

Chelsea is the team that has spent the most money on transfers in recent years, and despite this, these failures are very bad. The patience of the fans has now run out. They rightfully want the team to win. Faith in Potter is shaken when there is no win for spending so much money. Money isn't everything, Chelsea show us that. Normally they should be in the league leadership race right now. However, they are in the ranking that will not even be able to go to the European cups.

Chelsea is caught up in the web of international politics and a lot of things is wrong with the club at the moment and if care is not taken Chelsea will have to go through a long period of recession or possible relegations.
- The involvement sege of the club owner with the invasion in last year have affected the operation of the club and this situation have left a dip caught in Chelsea.
-No matter the amount of money spent in the last transfers window it will not show on the club performance until the management do a total overhaul.

Not a bad result for Chelsea. Their performance is already poor. As usual, they performed poorly in this match as well. I'm not sure what kind of match strategy Graham Potter is trying to implement. In the last few matches, I have seen Chelsea giving more importance to ball possession. In a competitive league like the Premier League, is it possible to get better results with less attacking and possession the ball more? I don't think so. Because the gameplay of the Premier League is very fast compared to other leagues. To survive here, you must attack and counterattack. Personally, I think Graham Potter should expect a change in match strategy.

About the EPL gameplay, Graham Potter should have known about this, but it's just that Chelsea players often lack on points when passing and it seems that Graham Potter has to train even harder for his players to be able to carry out quick attacks on the opponent's goal. Lack of communication is also an obstacle to the flow of the ball into the attack area and it seems that right now Graham Potter just wants to try to adjust which players deserve to fill the starting line up, but he should be very aware that at the moment they are not joking in the competitive league and must immediately solve this problem correctly, and get full points in the match.

Chelsea have not been good since Graham Potter became coach. The 1-1 result at home to West Ham United did not make many people disappointed because those who bet on the match had considered Chelsea's performance so far.
There has been no significant change to Chelsea even though the owner has spent a lot of money from his pocket to get good players.

Maybe that makes the Arsenal vs Brentford match unexpected for the draw. Usually the team coached by Arteta can score above 2 goals but in reality they cannot win at home.
But with the acquisition of a draw Arsenal can make the competition for the Premier League trophy tighter especially if Manchester City can win the match against Aston Villa.

[D-law]

They didn't underestimate Brentford, we can see it from the line-up they played against Brentford, those were their main players. The reason why they couldn't get full points in the match against Brentford was because they couldn't take advantage of the dominance they had and convert it into goals.

It is true that Arsenal did not underestimate Brentford, but I still see it as a disappointment because I thought Arsenal would win in a way the point margin with Manchester City would increased, but Arsenal fucked up.

Arsenal dominated with almost 70%, had more shots on target. That shows how Brentford keeper is good at the match. I will say Arsenal tried, but it would have been better if they won.

I have started to doubt if Arsenal will take the league because I know Arsenal for one thing in the past, they will be good very well at one point and play very worst at another, but yesterday match has not yet determine that though.

They did not underestimate Brentford
When you talk about formation and tactics they used a formation that helps them to attack and defend at the same time which was hard for Arsenal to break them apart.
Good chance created for Trossad to score from Saka. The inconsistency is getting real, Arsenal will face City for a crucial tie midweek

[rahmad2nd]

Brentford was lucky enough but arsenal must also accept it to draw against brentford.

however, Arsenal has to admit it. they had enough chances but Brentford really did well. Arsenal controlled the match, even made 23 chances. although only one is a goal.
Brentford made a good strategy. despite not getting more chances and being constantly under pressure. they could have reached a goal for the equaliser. somehow Brentford is playing pretty well with the strong teams at the moment.

The final result that was beyond my prediction, The Gunners failed to win to widen the points gap from their competitors. although this match was decorated with VAR controversy. but in fact, Brentford played pretty well. also, discipline. Thomas Frank's troop squad, successfully offset the game from The Gunners. evidently, Arsenal had difficulty dismantling a solid defense from Brentford. even though the Gunners dominated the game, in addition to mastering 69% ball possession, had 23 attempted shots and seven of them were on target, unfortunately only one was a goal.

The failure to secure three points in this match made Arsenal have to fast for victory in the last three matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, next week Arsenal has a pretty tough match. the reason is, City will take advantage of the momentum to squeeze points tight from the Gunners.

But, overall I enjoyed this fight. Arteta only needs to restore the mentality and enthusiasm of his troops to return to winning ways in the match later.

[boltz]

I would say that Arsenal had a decent result yesterday and Brentford is not an easy team to beat right now and they showed us yesterday why they a great team this year that wants to fight for that last european spot.
 
For Arsenal , at least they didn't lost points and they still have a decent advantage over second place with a lot of games to go forward and I'm sure they will get back on track and start another winning streak.

Chelsea...really needs this season to be over so they could arrange everything they got and refresh the club properly because they have a very talented team with Kante being almost back from his injury.

[shinratensei_]

Arsenal missed a great opportunity. If they had won this match, the difference in points would have increased and it would have been easier for them to become champions. They've been in a bad situation, losing points for two weeks. They found a lot of chances and goal attempts in this match, but it was not enough as a result. And they only gained 1 point because they conceded a goal

If Manchester City wins the game they will play, they will reduce the situation to a 3-point difference with 1 game more.  Arsenal have taken huge loss of points from unexpected teams in the last weeks.  After the Everton defeat, this draw turned out to be very bad.  Now they have to recover.  They will have a game against Manchester City and by that time they must regain morale.

Since it's not clear what kind of sanction will be given by manchester city and it seems like people didn't put their attention to the city. People are still waiting for what kind of sanction will be given by premier league to the city.
Getting relegated to the low tier of english league sounds good to me. Manchester city may be able to decrease the gap once it will be winning against aston villa. Aston villa can't also be underperformed even when it has been sacking its coach before.City's players are under pressure now after so many bad news that came to the club. Guardiola as an incompetent coach was also giving a different statement regarding city in premier league.
That will be affecting the performance from city against aston villa.

Maybe I should agree with what you said about Chelsea.  Chelsea are waiting for this season to end.  I don't think there is a bad season like this season.  In one of the worst seasons, they should have been in the top 6 at worst.  The biggest surprise of this year is their and Liverpool's standings.  Of course, we should not forget Newcastle United, which is in the first place.  The Premier League has given us many surprises this year.

Look at how long it took Arteta at Arsenal to start winning, they've been through tougher times even than Chelsea are at the moment. Arsenal were at the bottom of the table, but after that they are leading the league, I know that this will not work for everyone, but still you yourself said that money is not the most important thing. You can't just spend a lot of money buying new players and expect teams to start winning.

correctly. Arsenal have actually been playing quite well. However, Brentford this season is indeed an opponent that is quite difficult to beat. even as far as I can remember even Manchester city suffered a defeat by Brentford this season in match Week 16 with a score of 1-2. so I'm not surprised by the draw in the Arsenal vs Brentford game. However, it is very unfortunate that many of Arsenal's opportunities were not successfully used as goals.

Chelsea team management should really think things through. Such a deterioration of the team is not really acceptable, the Chelsea team used to perform brilliantly. But currently the team players are not able to match themselves. So the Chelsea team needs to do something new.

Arsenal performance yesterdays not something to commend at in any ways because, we are all aware of how desperate Arsenal need a win to stay in the safe zone from Manchester city's potential replacement of the 1st position and what Arsenal need is a win and not draw game.
-If not that Manchester City failed to win their match last week when Arsenal lost it could have been a different story by now.
- There is a high possibility of Manchester city winning their match against Amston Villa later today so that could be a possible drawdown for Asernal.

At present, the great problems of the big teams are being observed. These teams are failing to maintain their performance. Among which Chelsea is performing poorly, Arsenal are also performing poorly. In fact, if the teams perform badly like this, then the splendor of football will be lost.

If Manchester City wins the game they will play, they will reduce the situation to a 3-point difference with 1 game more.  Arsenal have taken huge loss of points from unexpected teams in the last weeks.  After the Everton defeat, this draw turned out to be very bad.  Now they have to recover.  They will have a game against Manchester City and by that time they must regain morale.

Arsenal dropping another point to team we all expected them win, is not good for them, they are lucky Manchester City are not a good state of mind right now with the sanction they are to face from the Premier League. I think Manchester city game against Aston villa, is going to be a cracker, because Manchester city have not been in their best form in couples of games, now joined with the sanction from the premier league. Aston villa will like to make use of this opportunity to try and get a point from this game, but I don't think this will affect Manchester city game today.

I think loyal fans will certainly be able to be patient with bad team results this season because after all, to have a good form of course it takes time which is not fast. Also, after the change of coach made Chelsea fail this season, they were unable to compete in the top four.

Unless, for example, after several seasons Chelsea still fail then of course not only Chelsea fans lose patience, but all aspects involved. So yes, there is still a lot of chance to get back on track with the title, if Chelsea can improve then next season could be a good season for Chelsea. Who knows!

It started with their fire against Tuchel who is a good coach and their likely bad bet on Potter who has yet achieved considerable success in his coach career. Comparing Tuchel and Potter is unfair for Tuchel but they made that decision and months later I think they actually felt they were wrong.

The season is almost ending terrible for Chelsea and I think they will have to focus on matches with Dortmund in Champions League. They can beat Dortmund and continue to move to quarter final round.

In Premier League, ending with a six position to participate in Europa League 2023 - 2024 would make Chelsea very happy. They are not able to end in top four with the total points they have now and with good performances from clubs in top four. Likely Chelsea and Liverpool will compete directly for a position in top six of Premier League.

The once best teams in the Premier League are no longer performing like they used to. Now the smaller clubs are taking themselves up a notch. The reason for this could be the responsibility of the players, which the big team players are not able to do.

So what do you think of Graham Potter? In my opinion, he is not a good enough manager for a big team like Chelsea and he feels the lack of it. The coach should ensure that the players are guided correctly not only on the field, but also at every moment. Could it be that Potter just can't get it right? If he can't prove something for Chelsea, I think he might be kicked out at the end of the year. At the end of the year, we may see a different name as a coach after Graham Potter. So if Graham wants to stay in the team, he must be able to prove things in no time.

It must be frustrating for Blue fans to watch their team perform poorly, including me. Nonetheless, I think Graham Potter has a strategy for this squad and is working to implement it gradually. A win is not guaranteed when playing football based on possession, but a more controlled game and greater opportunities are. Fast, effective attacks are essential in the Premier League. However, teams may also achieve success by being patient, keeping the ball, and waiting for an opportunity to attack. Keep in mind that these things don't happen overnight and demand a huge commitment from the coach and the players. With some time and effort, I believe Chelsea will go back to winning ways, even if it might take many seasons

In my opinion Chelsea needs a new qualified coach. Because the condition of the party is not very good, if it continues like this, the party will almost collapse. Now the Chelsea authorities need to find a new coach and give the team responsibility, so that a new strategy can take the team forward.
