Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[X-ray]

Manchester United will indeed finish the season in the top 4 level even though their performance has not met up to the standard of being considered among the top 4, but then let's see what happens and regardless of what the outcome may be, man united will finish strong at that level since their already missed out through the season.

Confirmation has been given that Liverpool will play in the Europa League next season. that means if manchester united has been qualified for UCL next season. It's caused by liverpool was getting draw against aston villa while MU was winning against bournemouth. The gap is not possible anymore to be surpassed by liverpool at this moment. There's no need to wait it even longer caused by MU is able defending its position right now. MU just need to fix its defensive line and buy a new striker.
Buying some defenders and a good strikers will be enough for manchester united as it has lots of good midfielders and wingers.
That's the only problems that must be solved by manchester united.

[izsara]

And what about Manchester United? Did they do well, badly or moderately? I'm leaning more toward good. Becoming 4th and qualifying for the CL, that's what it was all about when Ten Hag became a trainer. It would be unrealistic to think that United would be in contention for the championship. They are miles behind city rivals Manchester City at the moment. And we also don't know yet whether reinforcements will arrive for United in the summer. The FA Cup is also within reach, if they manage to win it then you did great as United, right?

Manchester United will indeed finish the season in the top 4 level even though their performance has not met up to the standard of being considered among the top 4, but then let's see what happens and regardless of what the outcome may be, man united will finish strong at that level since their already missed out through the season.

I think with their current condition in the top 4 and with 1 title owned by Ten Hag, which is still their first season in the EPL, it shows that they have improved their performance.
Even though we know that several conditions, especially for the defense, there are still many gaps, especially when Martinez and Varane don't play, of course things like that can still be changed.
Now it depends on Ten Hag whether they will make the same conditions or try even harder for next season.

A team definitely needs a striker. Manchester United don't have the people to shoot the ball and finish or (shoot at the goalpost) when attacking the ball, so a top striker is needed. They have lost a lot of reputation this season as they are in the middle of the points table, so if a top striker enters the team, they will definitely be among the top teams. Meanwhile the defender is fairly strong but a few attacks break the defender so a great defender and striker is needed. Then Manchester United will roar again like last season.

[Smartvirus]

This should be a very meaningful lesson for Chelsea, especially for their management and staff because indeed their problem starts from the root when a major reshuffle occurs for the top officials which has destroyed their condition until now.
On the other hand, this is also a good lesson for Todd not to be too hasty in decisions for both players and coaches, just because he is the most powerful doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants because it is clearly self-defeating.

Chelsea has been in there worst form this season. They let things got so bad to the point that, they completely lacked confidence in themselves and the things they could do on the pitch and even an improvement on there teams squad could do very little to improve their performance. Todd made his investment its not proven very useful for him this season.

Still, Chelsea did Manchester City the honour today in handing them there most merited EPL trophy. It was glorious still for Manchester City and I wonder what it would be for the Chelsea team that were out there.
With one leaue closed, even with games to be played, the UCL is on the way and they need to bring it to England this season.

It is indeed difficult for Manchester United at the moment because just always expecting Rashford will obviously not have a big impact especially Rashford's position is also not ideal for a striker because his main position is a winger.
On the other hand, the presence of Weghorst this season has not had any impact so far so it would be great if they add a striker who has more instinct in scoring goals for next season.

[shinratensei_]

The average age of the old players shouldn't be a problem if the players are still able to do hard training, so that when the performance on the field is good and reliable, experience will be an important key for the old players. So it's better to save money to buy players who really need it than just for rejuvenation.

As long as the age of players are not too old and it must not be a problem. The problem is if chelsea doens't have good chemistry as a team. Some players were even playing individually. Medueke was very often doing it by dribbling the ball for their own.
Mudryk is always having horrible finishing. He shall have learned how to create a proper finishing. He is always feeling panic when he will be 1 on 1 against the goal keeper.
Sterling is always missing so many golden opportunities. Almost all of chelsea players have horrible finishing. They can't properly finishing the chance into the goals.
That being said that those people shall have learned a lot about how to create a proper finishing.

[shogun47]

Chelsea is a rather young team in the Premier League. The average age of their team is ranked 6th in the league with Arsenal being first (24.6 years) and Fulham being the last (27.9 years). Rejuvenation isn't the problem. They finally need a coach and players who are absolutely willing to put in the effort to be successful. It was never seen in soccer that a club spent so much money on transfers and couldn't even qualify for the European tournaments, not even the Conference League. Those sunk costs are higher than everything else we have ever seen.

Chelsea started poorly this season and ended the season the season in a worst form. I don't know if it was the change of ownership that affected the club,because it was Abrahamovich that brought Chelsea into the light when he bought Chelsea in 2003. Maybe there are what he does to motivate his club players that Todd lacks.

The club has good players but they are finding it very difficult to win matches,which is a big problem to Chelsea. I hope that next season will be a better season for them as they need to get a better coach to do the job and let Lampard go to hell. Todd lacks the knowledge on football club as a business and this is affecting Chelsea badly. Or do I say that as Abrahamovich sold off Chelsea,they have gone back to their worst form before he bought them.
[/quote]

It is a bit weird because nobody would think that Abramowitch is the soccer guru who knows what to do, which players to buy etc. This doesn't mean that he has no idea about soccer, but it is possible that he delegated the most important decisions to people who have been in the soccer business for a very long time instead of relying on his own opinion only. I don't know how Todd Boehly works and whether he thinks he knows everything better than anyone else. But when you check the squad it is actually not a bad squad. It just doesn't work for some reason. He went for long-term contracts which give the players a lot of freedom because once they signed a five year or six year contract, they are financially fine forever. That could be a reason that they are not willing to show their best all the time.

Did anyone every think Chelsea with their present form could stop Manchester City? I along with I assume would be a lot of people predicted a Manchester City win. Although I had thought City would score more goals than it did. This in my opinion, shows that Chelsea did try their best in holding back City’s advances.
Chelsea did try and had some good Vance’s but was denied all the time. It’s obvious Pep was initially relaxed from the players he used when starting the first half. Congratulations to Manchester City on winning the EPL.

This Transfer summer, united will sort out their main problems, defensive replacement and top frontlines attacks, fueled up with enough strength. Manchester united needs a top outstanding striker in the club, Erik Ten Hag needs a finisher in the club, a player who's always in position to to finish opportunities into goal scoring. Absolutely, Weghorst doesn't fit in such position at the moment, Marcus Rashford had a good form but he's not consistent on the pitch and injury doesn't give him enough chance to explore what he's made of.

Manchester city deserves to be crowned the title, and Arsenal fans should not feel bad about it, i know its hurt for consider fighting a team like Manchester city who has the highest squad in England, they spent huge amount of money just to be built a team, at a point Arsenal was weak couple with injuries in the team,  Arsenal can not compete with a club like Manchester city in a title race.

Manchester city is indeed enjoying the result of hard work, the premier league title has proved that they have spent all the money spent very well, I am an Arsenal fan, and I am really not happy, but then, my sadness is not for the fact that Manchester city took the crown, but for the fact that arsenal disappointed their fans, I feel like they deceive us, making it look like they were going to win the title this season, but turned around in their performance all of a sudden, Manchester city deserve their win, and I congratulate them and rejoice with their fans, it's really a great season for them.

Im not an arsenal fan but im also frustrated by the arsenal preference in the last 10 matches, they was in a good position and everyone thought they will get the title but they started having very bad results and preference which lead them to the actual situation, Manchester city deserve all the respect after their solid preformence in bith premier league and UCL

It really hurts for arsenal. Arsenal was leading the competition for about 248 days and then city just need a few weeks to destroy it. What a great performance from manchester city. City deserves EPL title again due to the its consistentcy in the premier league right now. Im very glad to say that if city potentially to take the treble winners. Intermilan becomes the toughest competitor for manchester city this season.

It's great to see that the match between two strongest team in the two league.
Intermilan seems underrated team at this moment compared with manchester city. I think that intermilan may win UCL against city.

I've said it a couple of times already that they won't be able to maintain their lead the entire season because of the lack of depth but I would still feel bad if I were an Arsenal fan. They were so close and yet they couldn't get the job done. It must have been more painful seeing their club lose again while another team was crowned as Champions.

Maybe Arteta could be given more funds to splash in the next transfer window after this huge accomplishment.

Arsenal also spent quite a lot of money when Arteta went to Arsenal by buying quite a lot of players, several seasons have not produced anything good and it looks like this season will be the end of their dismal performance but unfortunately, they are not capable enough to keep the opportunities that are in sight for can lift a trophy, and what's more regrettable is not only failing to win the league title but also in all the tournaments they participate in so this season is without a title. Arsenal needs players who can captain really well to keep their motivation high in every game because they don't have that at the moment.

Liverpool can only draw against Aston Villa at Anfield when they have the chance to secure a Europa League spot which is a shame because the match against Southampton this week will be decisive, if Liverpool can win then whatever result Brighton gets will have no effect on the standings 1-5. Southampton looks like they won't be a formidable opponent for Liverpool later but they still appear in high spirits because that was proven against Brighton even though the final result was the defeat they suffered, but Southampton have had the opportunity to score several times they just don't have players with quality which is better than it is at the moment, so defeat after defeat they suffer and make them have to be relegated, and two more teams are determining their fate whether to accompany Southampton.

It hurts a lot to accept the fact that his team can't live up to their expectations. Arsenal, who were the favorites to be able to compete with Manchester City in the hunt for the EPL title, actually appeared to be sluggish towards the end of the season. Manchester City is still too strong in the EPL, Arsenal, who have spent a lot of money to build squad depth, are unable to maintain their performance to compete with Manchester City.

Finishing in second place wasn't too bad for Arsenal but they have squandered the chance to win the title race due to unforced errors. Apart from failing to win the EPL trophy, Arsenal also failed in the Europa League after being favored for their best performance some time ago. Arsenal failures this season need to be evaluated, Arteta must find a solution to the inconsistency of his team's performance.

[Docnaster]

Even if Manchester City choose to play with their second team, they will still be able to win Chelsea. Chelsea is not a team that can stand Manchester City as it is. That's why Pep Guardiola find it worth while to rest Kelvin De Bruyne and Haaland since they have already won the premier league and also in the finals of champions league. Rest their key players will do them good for the champion league match against Inter.

What Chelsea need is a good coach that utilize their players in a better way not more players in additions to the ones they have. There no reports of Chelsea moving to sign Neymar into the team.

I have to give it to Pep Gardiola and Manchester City for a job well done. Congratulations to them on winning the English premier league and it is well deserved. One of their treble trophy target has been achieved, now their focus would be turned to FA cup and UEFA champions league. City played it's second 11 team and won against the struggling Chelsea side. I just hope we're going to see a brand new version and rejuvenated Chelsea next season because this particular Chelsea has finished. 😄

Chelsea is a rather young team in the Premier League. The average age of their team is ranked 6th in the league with Arsenal being first (24.6 years) and Fulham being the last (27.9 years).

Those sunk costs are higher than everything else we have ever seen.

Before the game I was rating Chelsea as one of the current average English premier league teams but after watching Manchester City's second XI humiliate a star studded Chelsea team I had to change my thoughts of the team because judging by their current standard, Chelsea is playing like championship club that's struggling to play in the premier league.
Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of psychological work to do in other to restore the confidence of this Chelsea team when he finally starts his reign as the club manager. disappointing is a better word to describe the current Chelsea performance

Yes, Manchester city players has proven it again to the whole world that they still remain the strongest team among other teams in this premier league tournament because many people thought Arsenal will finish the tournament well by leading with highest points but Manchester city overtake the position to embrace the title. Manchester city players are well impacted by their coach, because the way they defeated many strong teams to improve their points, made many people to believed that they have potential players in this season. I don't think, Arsenal fans will feel bad in this season, because they really displayed well in this season than last season that made their performance so poor through out the tournament.

It must hurt Arsenal a bit to lose out on winning the EPL title and after playing very well and being in the lead for a while. But even Arsenal supporters would admit if they’re being honest that Manchester City deserves this title after playing so beautifully and consistently winning in their games played.

I do not think Inter Milan are being underrated. No doubt, there are a very strong team, they’re in form and they’re a force to reckon with in the Serie A. And it’s not an easy feat to make it to the finals of the Champions League so Inter Milan is definitely not a push over. They’ve got great stats. But Manchester City is on another level. They’re in almost perfect form and has proven they could still win games without some of their finest players playing.
In my opinion, Manchester City is at the moment, playing a lot better and is being talked about cause of their winning spree and goal scoring abilities. So perhaps that is why some may feel Inter Milan is being underrated. Both teams has a chance at winning and I think Manchester City’s chances are greater.
