Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[asriloni]

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 see that as well

I hope that kante will be dealing a new contract with chelsea. It's better for chelsea to keep him rather than try to buy new player. Kante is having a very good talent and it must not be missed by chelsea. Kante is fully experienced player.

His role in the france national team was very important. I hope that with the come back of kante will give chelsea a little hope to come back again to the right direction. Kante just like chelsea's soul

leeds united has found a successor for Jesse Marsch, who was sacked just over two weeks ago. the 52-yo Javi Gracia will take over as coach of the premier league's penultimate team with immediate effect. the spaniard will be given a 'flexible contract' and is expected to be on the sidelines as early as next saturday for the home match against their direct league rivals - fc southampton who are one point lower in the table.

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.

This is definitely regarding the penalty they are waiting as well. Ilkay would be an expensive signing for an old player, whereas they may end up in a bad situation so they should be paying players that they definitely need and could sell later on. Like keeping Haaland should be the most important thing, along with De Bruyne for example, not Ilkay, they can replace him if anything happens.

I am not expecting a punishment of relegating them, that would be way too much, but anything else will of course be causing them to lose some money and in order to save off some money they will have to let some players go, so anyone on the edge will be gone.

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?

Keeping Kante at Chelsea will be extremely beneficial because he is an experienced and important player in the squad capable of leading the young players to victory.

Chelsea made a mistake by letting Jorginho leave simply because they signed Enzo Fernandes, but I believe it is because they have Kante that they let Jorginho leave. There has been speculation in the past that Kante has been linked to Barcelona and will leave as a free agent at the end of the season; if this is true, Chelsea management must do everything possible to convince Kante to sign a contract extension in order to keep him in the team because the team needs 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'm not a Chelsea fan, but I now support Potter's dismissal. He has received all of the opportunities and support he requires from the management because they signed enough players for him; therefore, even though we know it will take the players some time to blend into the Premier League style of play, I believe that as an experienced manager, Potter should have done something to prevent Chelsea from losing matches in a row; but the management is still patient enough to give him more time; I hope he can start winning matches soon to clear all of these concerns.

Great to see Javi Garcia back in the Premier league. He is a better option than Steven Gerrard and Lampard at the moment. He had vast experience in fighting relegation, I could remember when he was watford head coach during 2017/2018 season after they sack Marco Silva. I remember he help them stay up in the league and the following season watford were a force to reckon, I hope he replicate same success again.

He will be available this weekend only if he gets his work permit sorted out early

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.

As usual, Bournemouth shouldn't be a big problem for Man City to win. But when Man City faced weaker clubs, their games always didn't go well. Sometimes their performance apart from being unbalanced is also easier to penetrate. It's different when the opponent is a big club and has balanced aspects of the quality of the game, then Man City is able to provide more resistance and excel. Even though on paper Man City clearly came out victorious, we don't know what Bournemouth has prepared to make their game even more difficult to penetrate.

Not only that, Manchester City has always dominated the victory over Bournemouth from 11 H2H meetings. after all, Bournemouth is not a formidable opponent for City to overthrow, even though Bournemouth plays as the home team. they are not a balanced opponent for The Citizens. meanwhile, Bournemouth are in an unsafe zone, they are ranked 17th. and if Bournemouth lose, they will drop into the relegation zone.

But before that match, City will have an away match at the Red Bull Arena, home to Leipzig. This match, became a very important match for City. at least, Pep Guardiola will target his troops to win the match over Leipzig in the first leg. after that, City can focus on returning to the Premier League.

Yes I also think Ronaldo would care less, he is also having a good time and enjoying life at Saudi Arabia with his family and new teammates. I don’t think  he has the time to think and worry about Manchester United improving after his departure but surely people will talk as usual and critics will begin to go round on the internet again. Manchester United fans are excited because they won a few games and Rashford is netting goals, they suddenly want to bring Ronaldo topic back again to the surface as the cause of their problem.

Well, Ronaldo is still a legend for MU even though this season has been a bitter season for Ronaldo. It seems Ronaldo will not return to England again, reportedly the house he owns in Manchester will be sold. In Saudi Arabia Ronaldo has also been able to smile again, he is enjoying playing with Al-Nassr. Together with Al-Nassr he also showed again the ability to score, from 4 matches, he has scored 5 goals. MU has also been able to compete again for the EPL title, Opportunities for MU are open with a 5 point difference with the top of standing, even according to @mv1986 this will be funny, but the opportunity is still there. Really Win Win solution for both Ronaldo and MU  

It is only a win win situation if you look at two different things: for Ronaldo the money is a win, and for Manchester United the title would be a win. But Ronaldo's behavior is a little bit of a dark shadow on his career. There is no doubt he is among the GOAT and the numbers speak for themselves. But behavior does play a role when it comes to how a player is remembered. It depends on whether you constantly behave arrogant or just had some bad moment like Zidane knocking out Materazzi with his head But still Zidane is remembered like a sophisticated player and a gentleman. Zidane is another type of person.

When Manchester United wins a title, much of what Ronaldo said speaks actually against him. He kept claiming to be the best of the best, never took into account his own defining performances and his age and never was willing to put in more teamwork and allow others to take responsibility on the pitch.

But we are still far away from Manchester United winning a title. Though I would like them to be playing for it towards the end of the season. It would be a well deserved turn of events after being patient and hard working.

so true. Actually positive things approached both parties, namely Ronaldo and Manchester United. Ronaldo's departure from Manchester United and joining the Al-Nassr club has indeed caused a lot of uproar in the news. But it seems the move did have a good impact on both parties. Ronaldo can now play comfortably at Al-nassr. even I saw Ronaldo perform amazingly in Al-nassr. in the last game al-nassr Ronaldo made a great Assist. and in the previous match he also scored 4 goals in one match. And the young players at Manchester United are now looking much better after Ronaldo's departure. because they seem to be free from pressure and can show their potential more freely. I still respect both parties.

I don't think that Chelsea would be as bad with Tuchel as they now are with Potter.

I think Chelsea needs a experience  coach, I don't think Potter has anything to offer Chelsea, I think Chelsea made a great mistake by sacking Tuchel, they should have just given him more time, Chelsea is getting worst daily under Potter, I think the best think that Chelsea can do now is to sack Potter and get a new coach but my question is which coach will Chelsea get to solve their current problem? They shouldn't sack Potter and get a coach that's worst than their current coach, it's not just about getting a new coach but Chelsea needs a experienced coach.

The least Chelsea could have done is to undertake a thorough evaluation of Potter and a reasonable comparison between him and a coach like Tuchel. The differences between the two were blatantly obvious. You can of course always choose to risk an experiment, but is this the right situation for an experiment when you become the new owner of a club and plan to invest half a billion into the squad anyway? Why not invest another 50 million and buy a coach from another club? Why not offer someone like Zidane 40 million salary? If you talk to one of the best coaches and tell him about your plans and an exorbitant salary for him as well, who would decline such an offer? To me that is a lit of misjudgment and mismanagement at Chelsea.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

Yes, it is their inconsistency that makes it difficult for them to be able to compete in the standings. Like you said, they beat Manchester City but they lost against a weaker club. It's like a joke, but indeed in football it will always happen that way. We cannot predict the outcome of the match with 100% accuracy, it depends on the playing club. Sometimes luck will also determine the outcome of the game.
The distance between their points is very tight, so they can't make mistakes that will make them lose points, it will be able to shift their position at any time.

But behavior does play a role when it comes to how a player is remembered.

Players who refuse to grow old and feel that they are the best are not only Ronaldo. Ibrahimovic does not say he is the best, but he refuses to retire even though he is no longer young.

Zidane and Materazzi are remembered as legends for their achievements for the clubs and national teams they represented. Likewise for Ronaldo, he will still be remembered for his skills and achievements when he was with MU in the past. Now, their relationship is not good (I think), the sale of a house in Manchester, maybe a sign that he is no longer interested in going to MU anymore, but I don't know if maybe he will become a successful coach, and become a MU coach in the future came, buying another house in Manchester would not be difficult for him.

When Manchester United wins a title, much of what Ronaldo said speaks actually against him.

yup, on several occasions Ronaldo seemed to have no respect for Ten Haag, MU's failure at that time was considered because of Ten Hag. but MU has now managed to improve their performance, which means Ten Hag has the ability, it's just Ronaldo is too arrogant to blame Ten Hag for MU's poor performance at the beginning of Ten Hag's coaching MU.

Even though on paper Man City clearly came out victorious, we don't know what Bournemouth has prepared to make their game even more difficult to penetrate.

Manchester City is the most prolific team this season by creating 60 goals, while Bournemouth is the team that has conceded the most goals with 44 goals that have been created against them. In their last match, Manchester City won with a landslide score of 4-0 while playing at the Etihad Stadium, even though this is a home match for Bournelouth I predict that Manchester City will repeat the success by beating Bournemouth again by scoring at least 2 goals.

Tuchel was experienced coach for chelsea but todd was sacking him. Todd already made the worst decision for chelsea. As a new owner and he was making so many mistakes that were greatly affecting the club. Potter has been claimed to be the worst coach in EPL. Potter has recorded a very low win rate in EPL. Chelsea may go to the relegation zone if potter would not sacked as soon as possible. There are no improvements that happened in the club.

Will todd need to see his team goes to the relegation zone until he was taking a step to sack him? What a stupid owner for sure. Todd needs to give a mandate for his team to the professional.

Before this match Manchester City will faced Leipzig on champion league today and both of teams has been met in the beginning of season and Manchester City can easily win from Bournemouth with huge scores 4-0 and this time i am sure Manchester City without any problem can overcomes Bournemouth and the odds for this match has been provided

Bournemouth @10
Manchester City @1.28

As you can see Manchester City has low odds but we can't do anything because Bournemouth is weak team and they almost don't have any chances to win the match but for betting options over 2.5 goals probably good instead of Manchester City win and my predictions Bournemouth will lost at least with 3 goals margin or more conridering Bournemouth as the weakest defense team in premier league

Maybe the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't perform well enough in Manchester United is the relationship between him and Erik Ten Hag we know Ronaldo is a famous superstar and he was shining well previously in manchester United so surly he had no respect for Tem Hag and obviously, Ten Hag is not a coach to accept this. That's why the only thing Ronaldo could do was leave Manchester United for another team. While after and when Ronaldo left this team Ten Hag could focus better than before and got better results.

I guess the owners of these football clubs determine their success. You could remember when Abrahamovic was was the owner of Chelsea, they didn't face much mess compared to this because the moment the coach can no longer add impact to Chelsea winning sheet,you are sacked and will be replaced instantly. All these brought success to the club because the floor was opened for various experience coach to come and display what they gat.

Todd is the cause of all these defeats Chelsea is embracing with happiness, if not he would have seen it that Potter is not the right man for the job. Chelsea needs a good coach to bring them out from this hard luck entrapment they are in. I guess is not also happy with his club performance but acts like he is OK .

Exactly my thoughts as well. There have been a lot of cries for the sack and removal of Potter. Admittedly, the cries for his removal is somewhat understandable given the circumstances and poor and performance. Chelsea has been under a bad spell at the moment and a lot of fans think that the sack of Potter would do the job.
It isn’t an easy task for a manager as well. Having been given the job last September, it would be nice if he’s given some time fully get in sync with the team. Besides, there is a lot to consider when letting go of a coach and searching for a new one.

Lol what tears should be issued by Chelsea fans, even I think that if Chelsea management fires Potter, it is good news for Chelsea fans because Potter has so far failed to build Chelsea. However one side of this is the second half of the season where it will be difficult for management to provide opportunities or to make sacks in the current situation, But things can change and it will all be a big decision in the hands of Tood Boehly.

The upcoming match will be proof of Potter performance to be able to provide victory against Tottenham because if he succeeds it will definitely have a good impact on him, while the issue of dismissal is being heated up by the fans.

It is absolutely impossible for Bournemouth to be able to beat Manchester City and even if Bournemouth hosts it will not change anything. I think Manchester City will win big again like the last meeting between the two. Whereas for Bournemouth maybe they have to give up all possibilities that don't go their way, actually if they can hold Manchester City to a draw in this match at least they will be quite helped with an additional point.

[shogun47]

Chelsea also invested an amount that no other club in the Premier League even comes close to.

Now what about Potter? If he gets dismissed I think that Jurgen Klopp might be available very soon guys! This is now a very sad situation for Liverpool as I don't know what they think they are still competing for. They can only try to make a miracle happen and start to win games nonstop. I doubt that there is a little chance to turn it around against Real Madrid. There are now four Premier League games to be played before the second round of the Champions League takes place. Among the opponents is Manchester United. If for some weird reason Liverpool can win all four games, perhaps they can motivate themselves and give their best to make it to the top four. They still have two games in reserve, which would bring them close to the top four, but now it is all about how they are going to recover mentally from this setback

They do need to recover mentally and emotionally also if they plan on getting back to their winning ways and prepare in time for their second leg against Real Madrid. Before that, they do need to win their four games in the premier league leading to the second leg in the champions league.
I think it’s still to early to think of letting Klopp go and I would be disappointed if they do let him go. Although, I doubt my disappointment would matter or make any difference. Hehe. They do need to win games to get their mojo back.

I think this is a done deal. Klopp squeezed Liverpool like a lemon and I don't mean that in a bad sense. They have delivered so much fun to all soccer fans even if you are not a real Liverpool fan. It has been fun to watch them win the toughest games out there, the turnaround against Barcelona and many other duels with Manchester City in the Premier League. Now they have one of the oldest teams in the Premier League. A defender like van Dijk who was one of the best in the world is far away from his best shape that I don't think he will get back to that level.

Now there is almost nothing to play for and by next year they would either have to invest a lot of money or the team is even one year older by then (or half a year to be precise).

There might also be some doors opening for next season that would be an extra incentive for Klopp to leave Liverpool. He says he will stay and won't run away, but the idea behind that sentence is also obvious: the severance pay if they sack him and I am sure he is a very good contract!
