Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[BlackBoss_]

maybe for some people the results of Liverpool's match against Newcastle have been surprising.

It helped Liverpool to reduce the gap with Newcastle United. With one more match and with Liverpool defeat hours ago at Anfield against Real Madrid in Champions League, Liverpool will have only one task in the season. They will fight seriously in Premier League and it is not good news for Tottenham and Newcastle United.

because Newcastle has not received many defeats this season. even strong teams like Arsenal, Manchester city and Manchester United have not been able to beat Newcastle this season. and what we need to realize is that Newcastle has only lost 2 times in total this season. and what is surprising is that Newcastle suffered those 2 defeats by the same team, namely by Liverpool.

The story has two sides. One is Newcastle United have very good form in this season even results against biggest and best clubs in Premier League. The second side is Liverpool are good enough to beat best teams but only in a good day of their attacking and defense. In this season, many times they only have good attacking or good defense in a same match. Usually they have both bad attacking and defense in a same match and they must improve to find a similar rhythm of their attacking and defense systems.

Potter may still not be able to turn things around this season. If chelsea assigns a new coach, they may still not  
Have a good result. Even if they may have,  it will not be long they will still go back on poor form.
The only problem I'm having is that chelsea already has all it needs to get a good result but potter doesn't border about losing a match, from his choices of words,  he is not serious to win,  and that's unhealthy to the team.

I don't know why management didn't fired him?. We know Chelsea have 27x match but only have 9 wins and 7 draw during Potter was a coach. He should not be defended when we look how Chelsea management on the past, Chelsea have habbit to treats the team to be better by pressing the squad including the coach. Maybe since change the owner they be soften, but this situation is very affects with team performance.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Manchester City is a really great team. It would not be fair to match their game with any other team. They play very good football and the coach of their team is a very competent person. Under whose leadership, Manchester City is moving forward.

We're not saying Manchester City is a bad team they are one of the best teams in the Premier League at least in the last 3 years
But there is a team that is better than them, yes that is Arsenal who still consistently dominate the standings until today.

How do you feel after saying this? Feeling ecstatic after conquering the Premier League for a season after five years. Don't try to compare Arsenal to a team that has won three EPL titles during that time, Arsenal doesn't even come close to where Manchester City is because despite consistently finishing in the Europa League, the Gunners have never taken home a Europa Cup. I still believe Manchester City would like to follow Arsenal until the end of the season because it is not over until it is over.

In current situation both teams are doing good and I have feeling comparison is never been ideal because Manchester City is having big investments, and they are consistently doing good job for last few years with Arsenal is now coming out of long bad run under leadership of Arteta which is also good and have enough ability to handle this team for long run with the same level because both coaches are having same pattern, but both situation is not same one is working under limited budget and second is having luxury of investment which is also big difference but still in coming years we will have better view about them who is going to stay with the same level and how things works for them in long run in current season both have equal chance for win of the title.

Well, we can all think of something, both Man City and Arsenal are teams that are at a very high level, I admire both technical directors because they have a lot of technique in how to direct their players, of course, since everything has mistakes, no team plays perfect , at some point they have to draw, they have to lose, that's something common, and it's normal, however we can draw the conclusion that these two teams are also doing very well, but we cannot forget the work that Man United has done , and that is a sleeping lion, I would be very careful when considering that team, although I have never agreed that Ten Hag is there, I cannot deny that they are doing well.


Man City transfer news: Etihad star could walk for free amid Arsenal links

Manchester City could be willing to let club captain Ilkay Gundogan leave for free in the summer with the Premier League champions unwilling to hand the midfielder a two-year contract, with Arsenal interested.

According to the Mirror, the Manchester giants are not sold on awarding the German international a new contract that is longer than two years, with the £140,000-a-week maestro’s current deal set to expire at the end of this season amid growing transfer interest.

There have been rumors developing about several linked managers who will replace Potter at Chelsea but that's still a rumour, maybe the owner has other targets that make him keep Potter but all the time he has been at Chelsea is enough to prove that he is not strong enough to stay at Chelsea because of his achievements so far quite disappointing

[Slow death]

I believe the problem in Chelsea team is not from the players because Chelsea has enough of the good players to win games. Then the problem is the coach and the management.

i also agree with you, in recent years chelsea has not made good choices when it comes to choosing coaches, every new coach chelsea chooses starts signing players that in my opinion do not bring good results, in this case Graham Potter was signing many players and I read somewhere that they want neymar, it means that they still want to spend more money bringing neymar, but they already have a lot of players and they are not having good results, I don't know how until now they don't realize that the problem is in the coach , chelsea is looking like barcelona before xavi arrived

I don't know why management didn't fired him?

The impression I have is that Chelsea's management is already resigned to the fact that this season they are not going to win anything, so they are making signings for next season, as they made many signings they will have to make a lot of changes and tests in the team , which means that in each of their games it will be an experiment for the coach to make adjustments and everything thinking about the next season, it's a big risk, but as long as they don't get relegated it's ok, but if next season he doesn't bring good results then he will be fired

Arsenal took a deep breath by getting a very important win against Aston Villa. It was important because this helped them take the lead from Manchester City once again. Next time they are playing a match away against Leicester. I believe this is actually a more comfortable match than the one against Aston Villa on paper. But things don't always happen according to paper of course. The embarrassing loss by Tottenham against Leicester away is a good example for that.

However I don't think they can do the same or even get a point from Arsenal. Arsenal players must have improved their morale at a high rate now. They should fully focus on not losing the lead by making simple point losses from now on.

in my opinion arsenal will have a much more difficult game than the game they had against aston villa, leicester is a very dangerous team, they score a lot of goals, and arsenal's defense has not been good lately, I predict that they will stop or Arsenal will get a victory but with a lot of effort

[X-ray]

I believe the problem in Chelsea team is not from the players because Chelsea has enough of the good players to win games. Then the problem is the coach and the management.

Me too. The problem is chelsea is not even thinking to sack him which has become the worst thing for the club. I meant look at this.

Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are not yet convinced he is the problem, and instead have a list of reasons why they shouldn't sack him. Injuries behind the scenes are one reason, as is his poker face in the public eye; Potter is described as being 'intense' around the Cobham training ground and the owners have no fears over his mentality, but are instead happy they have a coach who will not throw players under the bus in front of the media.

Point three claims the owners recognise that Potter took a risk in joining the club from Brighton mid-season, something they believe not many top coaches and managers are always willing to do. They also understand he left a very safe environment at Brighton and put his reputation on the line in doing so, and believe he needs a considerable amount of time to work with new players and develop a relationship with sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart in order to create sustainable success, similar to Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain at Manchester City.

It's very clear if the problem was in tuchel. The coach was responsible to build chemistry and relationship between players in the club. That means chelsea's owner is not even having experience in football management. Let's see what step will be taken by todd once chelsea goes to the relegation zone.

[Swordsoffreedom]

The only option really has to replace Potter, I know he still wants to prove to the fans but if it continues with bad results then this is not a good choice to keep a coach who really doesn't match the capacity Chelsea wants. Actually, there is no reason for Chelsea to be in a bad zone because they have quality players. Only one thing was out of sync, namely Potter was not able to develop the skills of the players. So that it looks monotonous, with not much aggression in the midst of intense competition.

I know Chelsea fans really hope Potter gets sacked, but don't they think Potter is just starting his first season at Chelsea?
Potter has struggled to find form from his players but he is expected to turn it around for the better in the remainder of the season. I actually asked why he wasn't fired immediately, but in the end there is a lot to consider before making decision. But I think the situation at Chelsea is like a ticking time bomb that is about to explode.

If Chelsea do not make internal changes to their squad, adding talented star players to the squad, their performance will not improve. If Chelsea management wants to do well in both the Premier League and Champions League, they will definitely need to add star players to their squad. A better performance is not possible only by changing the coach. Tuchel was quite an experienced coach. He is still being fired. Now Potter is unable to stabilize the team. Potter will likely be fired next season as well.

To be honest, a case like this is not a new case for Chelsea, because normally Chelsea would easily fire their own coach. Therefore, if Potter really can't make changes for the better, then surely the time will come to fire Potter either in the near future or in the next season.
But I personally can't seem to blame Potter entirely for Chelsea's performance dropping like this because basically, when Chelsea started the season with Tuchel and in fact Chelsea's performance had indeed dropped at that time. So yes, maybe Potter came at the wrong time, so it might still take more time for Potter to be able to return Chelsea to their best performance.

This sort of thing is not new for Chelsea, that's for sure. They have done so in the past. They blame the coach entirely for the poor performance of the team and sack him. Tuchel was sacked after Chelsea's poor performance in a few matches. I can't find any valid reason to sack Tuchel.

Perhaps the Chelsea management will sack Potter earlier in the season. But this cannot be a solution. A new coach needs time to adjust to the team players. At the same time, you need players according to your choice. We can look at the Manchester United team for example. United Management gave Ten Hag ample time and funds. It's as if Ten Hag has put his favourite players on the squad. And now the United team is strong enough.

[LittleBitFunny]

Tottenham have been impressive although not consistent but I give them some credit for struggling to win games especially in this rough times when the head coach Antonio Conte is absent due to illness. The way the team managed to face games and still give their all is amazing. The fact that Tottenham are now in top four position is remarkable.

The main problem is that Tottenham's performance has been erratic. They beat strong teams like Manchester City. And in the very next match, they lost 4-1 against Leicester. Playing like this makes it very difficult to stay in the top four of the table. They are going to face Chelsea in the next match. The Chelsea team is relatively weak. If Tottenham manage to put in some consistent performances they will win. However, Tottenham's attack needs to play well in this match. I expect a good performance from Harry Kane.

Chelsea performance in this tournament is very low which the management need to do something so that they can make their fans happy and to have hope that they can still recover from their losses in their remaining matches. I believe, Chelsea president will act fast to solve this problem so that he will not regret for the money he spend to be the owner of Chelsea.

West ham stands a chance of not being relegated from the premier league this season, I see Bournemouth climbing down in the next couple of weeks and i think Southampton won’t make it to the premier league next season, they will go and try in Championship.

All of the teams that placed at the bottom are so hard to predict. These clubs like everton, southampton, westham, etc have small gaps of points. Those clubs are still competing one to the each other until the end of season. It's very hard to believe if southampton will not make it but you shall wait until the end of season. It's caused by southampton may give you a surprise like when it was against chelsea. There will be so many things to happen until the end of season.

Everton was in the relegation before but it was climbing slowly. Southampton can also do the same thing like already done by everton. I  think that leeds is having biggest chance to be relegated into the championship. Leeds is still consistent with its bad achievements in EPL.

is still very much hard to predict the relegation zone team now, because all the team in the zone are one point ahead of each other, from Everton that's 16 to Southampton that's in 20. They all have the chances to fight to remain in the league, premier is too competitive to know predict the outcome of the league title winner and the relegation team, we just have to wait till the end of the season.

~Snip~

The Premier League matches are really amazing to me. I have seen that the team players who played well won the day. I have also seen that the day the goalkeepers of both teams played very well, the matches were drawn. But there are some teams who  Performed very well from the beginning to the end. Again there are some teams whose performance shows that they cannot win.

This is what makes the Premier League different from other leagues in Europe. Every year there are always surprises that happen in the Premier League, teams that are not seeded can emerge into the top four positions and vice versa. Surprisingly Chelsea and Liverpool have found it difficult to give competition this season, these two teams are still having trouble finding their best performance. Even though Liverpool managed to win in their last match, there is no guarantee they can maintain the quality of their game in the next match.

Newcastle presence gave competition in the top four positions a new surprise this season. Manchester United have also managed to get out of a bad period after the main coaching seat in Ten Hag place. The surprises that occurred in it made the Premier League the top league in Europe.

It is difficult to make predictions about the performance of teams in the Premier League. Favorite teams don't always win. Because every team here has a strong squad. And so the Premier League becomes very competitive every season. Also, almost every team in Premier League plays an attacking strategy. So the matches are very enjoyable.

Newcastle's performance this season has surprised everyone. We used to see this team at the bottom of the points table. Staying out of the relegation zone was their main goal. But now this team is very strong. This season the team is fighting to qualify for the Champions League. I will be happy if the team is able to qualify for the Champions League.

I bet Potter would have been described as talented before they had brought him on. There may very well be a management problem cause they’ve got talented players on its squad. They do need to make their fans happy as the fans are the life of the club. I don’t really see them making any comeback this season as it’s looking highly unlikely.
I think they should really act fast cause they had really spent a whole lot of money to get some fine players that’s currently on the squad. I also think if Potter should be given a bit of more time to try and get his act together.

The bottom 3 is still open to talk of relegation at this stage. Westham United is in a very bad place, With them already sitting 18th in the table, defeat by Nottingham Forest would leave them in an even more perilous position. I also feel one of the reasons why David Moyes is yet to be sacked is because of the lack of an overwhelming favourite to succeed Moyes is a major factor as the club ponder the future. Southampton might stay up, if they can replicate that kind of performance against Chelsea in their next games. Bournemouth will surely join the championship.

Good news for Chelsea fans as Kante gets set to return from his injury spell. The issue now is that he will be faced with contract talks which might either see him extending his contract or leaving.
Graham Potter has this on his hands to try fit Kante into his play plan. Where he doesn't find any good use for Kante, will he sell him?
Unless the management wants to replace Graham, I don't see why he shouldn't be allowed to stay till seasons end to properly access his ability and technic of managing the team.

I think if management of Chelsea do not want to fire or sack Graham then this is a good decision,the bad results for a team come almost always when the coach of the team is often changed.They would be smart to let him finish this season and why letting him by doing so to evaluate his job in the 14 games that remain,if they see an increase in performance and that finally pieces are stuck together and that Chelsea does not screw up anymore in the worse possible way which was their lost game last week against Southampton at home,then they can evaluate if to renew his contract or to let him go.Meanwhile they should start looking for his successor if results are not good from these 14 remaining games.

Yes, I see that Kante is training again with the Chelsea first team which makes him very happy after the injury that has been holding him up for quite a while. Kante's contract ends this season, I think Chelsea will extend his contract for at least another 1 or 2 seasons. But indeed, if the player says he wants to leave Chelsea, talks about extending the contract will never happen. At least Potter has to give Kante minutes to play in the next Chelsea match, even though he is not 100% fit I'm sure he will adapt quite well to the new Chelsea recruits last winter.

Good news indeed. I’m pretty sure Chelsea fans everywhere would be thrilled with this new development. I think Kante coming back from his injury would probably have a ripple effect on the rest of the team as he does have that effect on the gameplay of the team.
The morale of the squad would probably and hopefully be increased and they could once again go back to scoring goals and winning games.

Potter just has to find a place for Kante and should include him in his plans for the team. Kante is a valuable asset to the club and the sooner Potter knows that, the better.

Chelsea at spot 10 on the EPL table is nothing I did not envisage, but it's not the coach that is really the problem, they have psychological issues right now, and they need to restructure their players. I do not fault coaches as such in this circumstance as no one might get things done right unless they reform.

Do they have money to buy needed players? Is all of the suggestions of the coach that the management agrees to? Forget the fact that they have some key players, the morale and the feats are not there, they need new challengers, a new set of stars to change this, and at least 5 players that will be redistributed to front, middle and back, not a new coach.

All of the teams that placed at the bottom are so hard to predict. These clubs like everton, southampton, westham, etc have small gaps of points. Those clubs are still competing one to the each other until the end of season. It's very hard to believe if southampton will not make it but you shall wait until the end of season. It's caused by southampton may give you a surprise like when it was against chelsea. There will be so many things to happen until the end of season.

Everton was in the relegation before but it was climbing slowly. Southampton can also do the same thing like already done by everton. I  think that leeds is having biggest chance to be relegated into the championship. Leeds is still consistent with its bad achievements in EPL.

This week we have Bournemouth and Manchester City and all we know about this game is people usually predict that Manchester City can easily beat Bournemouth this week because during all the recent five games they faced Manchester City, they always lost the game and the last time they lost with a 4-0 result and right now Bournemouth is near to the anger zone at 17th place of the table while Manchester City is fighting at top of the table.
