Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Docnaster]

It's a shame last year that the previous owner Abramovich had to leave England and of course the previous coach Thomas Tuchel should have given him more opportunities to improve Chelsea. However, it seems that the club's management did not want to waste time and seemed to be in a hurry in making decisions, so that finally it has had an impact like this on Chelsea's performance.

Indeed, I also think this is too much for Graham Potter, even in the last 10 matches in all competitions they have only managed to win once, even when they were against Crystal Palace. It looks like Chelsea fans like you are running out of patience and it is surely only a matter of time for Graham Potter to be sacked.

Tuchel was fired a bit hastily (and in fact, there is no benefit from this decision now), probably because the new owners of the club were ready to sacrifice the current season to make a complete restructuring of the team (this is very clearly seen from the money spent). But they hardly expected how lost this season will be and that Chelsea will not only fly out of the top 4 but also out of the Eurocup zone in general.

It's good for him (Toed Boehly).  If he wishes to lose this season just for restructuring let him lose and play in the championship if he likes. after all, he is business-minded and if the business crashes he still has himself to blame.
Chelsea is a big club in England, and very soon, fans will be fed up and may decide not to swallow the shame of watching matches that will knowingly end in a loss or draw, maybe then he will do the right thing when he no more makes money from fans ticket.

It was quite surprising to see Chelsea lost to the team that being on the last position of the table. Before the game, I favored Chelsea to win even could score at least 2 goals, which I'm sure most of football fans would do the same. Because of that, I bet on Joao Felix to score as his performance wasn't so bad and I believe that his ambition to score first EPL goal is so high. But yeah, it went not as expected lol. Though, I made another bet which I was so sure, The Saints captain, Ward-Prowse, would score. And damn his beautiful goal! He is the second player who scored most direct-freekick goal in Premier League now, just one goal away from Beckham. Sick.

I hope Newcastle can stay in the top four until the end of the season but unfortunately, after yesterday's World Cup break it seems that Newcastle's performance has continued to decline. Currently, Newcastle is ranked fifth in the Premier League standings, and Newcastle's position remains unsafe because it is still vulnerable to being overtaken.
If Newcastle still can't end the season in the top four, then it will make it difficult for Newcastle to get a star player in the transfer window later.

Fulham is set to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the upcoming English premiership games at Craven Cottage Stadium on Friday, 24th February 2023. The Cottagers have been successful in staying strong in the top 10 of the points table this season. They are currently in the 6th position with 38 points from 24 matches. Fulham registered a 1-0 away win against Brighton in the last game, thanks to Solomon’s match-winning goal in the 88th minute. It will be a tough challenge for Wolverhampton Wanderers to avoid an away defeat when they meet Fulham in the upcoming match. The Wolves are currently struggling in the 15th position with 23 points from 23 games. They lost the momentum after two back-to-back wins by facing a 0-1 home defeat to Bournemouth in the last match.

Well , that's a nice one on ward-prowse ... everyone knows how dangerous he is whenever trying to shoot even from the long range and it's proven in the match that he scored through the freekick and pretty sharp making kepa hard to stop it.

That freekick stuns chelsea , potter the one to blame now .

If this was the real plan then it' shows it was a plan out of sentiment and as we can see it's really paying off negatively on the whole team.  Chelsea is not a small team that rushy decisions should be made about it's future, as a fan we are disappointed in the whole plan cause nothing from it is working despite the amount of money sinked.

Everton FC will host Aston Villa at Goodison Park on 2023-02-25   in an interesting encounter in Premier League. Everton FC, currently sitting at 16 will be looking for important home win. Aston Villa, on the other hand, sits in 11 of the league table and will be looking to improve their position with a win. This match will be a tough test for both teams, and it should be an exciting match for the winner, The head to head record for Everton FC vs Aston Villa is an interesting one. Everton FC have won 0 meetings with Aston Villa, while Aston Villa have won 4. There have been 1 draws between these two sides. With this record Aston villa might likely win this game because they are the most favourite in this match.

I think it will be very difficult for Liverpool to get into the top 5 of the standings this year... The last game against Newcastle doesn't tell us anything yet... The only top club playing unstable and likely to drop out of the top 5 is Spurs... But it's not certain that Liverpool can take their place, as they need to win regularly to do so...

It's not so difficult as long as liverpool can perform like when this club was winning EPL 2019-2020. There are so many matches to come. Liverpool can still have a chance to get at least another 40 points as long as liverpool can get clean sheets in any match. Competing top 4 looks a bit difficult but nothing impossible for liverpool now. Liverpool will be facing some big clubs at the end of this season. This gonna be the most difficult match to be won by liverpool. I expect liverpool may lose points in these matches.

Earning at least 30 points look possible until the end of season. 4th place is still make sense to be targeted by liverpool.

The problem is they still do not show signs like that now.
The current condition is actually a little difficult to say they have changed even though in the last 2 matches they have played well but this still cannot be a guarantee at this time especially Liverpool are also sometimes difficult to predict this season.
The hope is that these 2 consecutive wins will become momentum but the problem is that I still can't be convinced.

The level of recovery witnessed under the new Manchester united is quite awesome and as long as they keep playing at the current speed their will definitely move to compete with Asernal for the first spot and if I must predict the outcome of this season I may say Manchester is likely to take man city spot as the second position in the next coming games.

What we see from Manchester United's current game is the fruit of the strategy owned by Erik Ten Hag, now Manchester United is more organized in defense and attack. Also they have a good transition when they build up attacks. They are not in a hurry to get the ball into the attack line, but they take advantage of the players' ability to hold the ball and practice it well.

Erik Ten Hag added another dimension to the team. I think he has a good relationship with the players and makes the team better. The influence of Ten Hag in this rise of Manchester United must be acknowledged. Manchester United are performing better than expected in the Premier League. If they eliminate Barcelona, ​​we can say the same for the Europa League.

[AakZaki]

Interestingly, even I didn't think Notingham forest were able to hold Man City to a draw. Funny, this cost Man city an expensive 2 points because it became Arsenal's difference. Arsenal are luckier to have one game less.  Of course this makes Arsenal more excited.  Man City shouldn't have made this kind of mistake. Although there are twelve games left losing points will be detrimental.                   

Liverpool ending Newcastle United's unbeaten by an impressive 2-0 win at St James' Park.

As for Liverpool, yes Nunes and Gakpo performed well they just as made goals. Of course if this continues then Liverpool can improve the state of the team. At least they will end better.

It seems like Erik ten Hag has a good relationship with all the Manchester United players because a good relationship between manager and players is very important to create a solid team and also good because of good communication. And as we can see how Manchester is playing very well, especially Marcus Rashford.
and in my opinion with this season's match which leaves 14 more matches, Manchester United's chance to fight for the English league championship trophy is still wide open. And for the game against Barcelona at home to Manchester United I'm sure Manchester United will win it.

His set-piece kick is dangerous indeed. And actually Kepa shouldn't be sad because other big names like De Gea, Lloris, and Pickford had experience same situation lol. Even with a guy lying behind the wall cant stop him to score a freekick goal. Priceless.

I have no doubt that Newcastle is a strong team now, but they still can't be compared to other teams who have already been named strong teams. For competition they still have to learn a lot from what happened this season. Their decline shows that their mentality is not that big to compete with a team that incidentally has been the favorite since the start of the season. So they have to work harder to be able to compete strictly in that position.

[AverageGlabella]

James Ward Prowse is the best free kick taker in the Premier League so there is no shame in letting a goal in against him in that position but I still think Kepa could have done better. I thought he set up his wall incorrectly and that had an impact on the space that James Ward Prowse had.

Chelsea need to change things up and I think it starts with Kepa. He has been a bad influence before a couple of seasons ago so I wonder if he is the reason again. I remember him refusing to leave the field a couple of years ago and I doubt he has changed and could be a negative influence on the dressing room because they are not performing like they can.

[Gosgosking]

.... imagine, if Ten Hag was given the freedom to bring in the players he wants. I'm pretty sure United will be much stronger than they are currently showing.

It's easy to believe such scenario but I wouldn't be too sure since you are also just making assumptions. Rashford has been on a surge but you can't really predict he would perform the same if he had other teammates. We've seen many new pairings that looked good on paper but never really worked on the field.

Erik Ten Hag is trying to make the most of the players he currently has, and that seems to be quite working. Even under his coaching, many players were able to bring out their abilities very well, for example, Marcus Rashford, who continued to transform into a sharp player in Manchester United's attack line. This is the first step for Erik Ten Hag, as this is his first season as part of Manchester United.

Eric Ten Hag has done very well for Manchester United in building the team not up to a full season as a coach. This something that will be so difficult for other coach. I think Eric Ten Hag is the best thing that has happened to Manchester United because without him I don't think Manchester United will be able to get this far they have reached.

I am not so sure about Manchester United being able to beat Barcelona in the next match. I understand the second leg is going to be played in home conditions for Manchester United. All Barcelona is going to need is to have Robert Lewandowski perform well and score.

Of course, Robert Lewandowski's scoring is not going to be enough for Barcelona to win. But that is going to increase the chances of Barcelona winning a lot. And I also think that Barcelona will have to play well as a team. This is going to be hard for Barcelona, no doubt. But it is doable.

[Zackgeno96]

United has had a very nice season overall. We can no longer compare this team with the team that became champions for years in a row and was the absolute number 1 in England. But we can compare the current performance with the performance of last season, and if you look at that, there is a lot of improvement. I think they can do even better. Of course they don't have someone like De Bruyne and Haaland, they often make the difference at City. United has invested a lot of money in signings, such as Antony and Casemiro. Antony may still make a somewhat disappointing impression. After all, you can expect a bit more from someone worth 100 million and he doesn't always play either.

I think it was key to get rid of Ronaldo because that leaves room for other players to develop. Ronaldo wants to take the penalties, the free kicks, the everything that a player would like to do. If you are a talented, rising young player you get mad at some point when there is this one guy who demands everyone else to play just for him and accept everything he wants and says. I guess ten Haag realized that and decided to change it. That was quite brave because it came to quite the showdown between him and Ronaldo and it could have gone either way if he didn't have the success he then had with the team when Ronaldo didn't play. Well done.

ManU cannot be compared to the last seasons nor to the beginning of the actual one. If we take a look on the team few months ago, they were performing very poorly at some points, they were the joke of EPL. Things changed luckily for them which wasn't the case for Chelsea nor Liverpool.
At the same time, gunners took the lead while City dropped a little although they have better players. There is still time to see how things will evolve

Hmmm... And what would be the right decision in his place now? Fire Potter and bring Tuchel back? Or fire Potter and get a new coach? He made a big investment, and even though this is at least a medium-term project, I am sure that the results are needed now. But football is a business close to gambling (results are not guaranteed) and I don’t even know how it would be right to act in his place now.
