Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[alpamar99]

Even though Arsenal still got a champion league ticket, the disappointment of Arsenal fans when their performance was poor was like being depressed when dealing with a stronger club.
Even though the Premier League title was almost held by Arsenal, it was very sad to let Manchester City take it.
I agree that the Arsenal management must make transfers to get other top players.

the main goal is to maintain the consistency of the game from the rotation of players that the coach does when players experience fatigue or card accumulation. getting some new players who can support some important lines will be good for Arsenal. they have experience this season, and of course they don't want to repeat it next season. they have big targets in next season to compete.

At the moment it seems that Arsenal will do some updates for the central position because in some of the news happening at the moment there are at least the names of players such as Rob Holding, Kieran Tierney to Thomas Partey even though these players especially Partey and Tierney are still quite good in my opinion but they will try to do this sales list in the hope that there are good things for the carrying of Rice and Caicedo that are ready for them to hunt as transfer targets as the season starts.

[ShowOff]

It is true that next season it will not only be Arsenal who will make a lot of changes to their squad to make the team stronger. In fact, I think Chelsea could also return to their best form for next season. But I'm more looking at Newcastle, who might actually be the next strong candidate who will be even stronger to fight for the title next season. Because this wealthy club will definitely shop for expensive players in the transfer market this season.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United, Newcastle and Manchester City are expected to have tough competition next season. I still hope so even though I think Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League is very difficult to stop in the next few seasons. Arsenal should be even better next season, but with Liverpool and Chelsea looking to be back in contention I think Arsenal will have a hard time proving themselves better.

Right now I'm looking forward to the FA Cup final match between Manchester City vs Manchester United. It was a final that was expected to be quite intense for both teams especially as Manchester City were very determined to win a second title before completing it with the Champions League title.

They are rich and easily to fix weakness in their squad with transfer market. They can return strongly after one transfer season because their squad are basically strong enough. Their problems are often because of their conflicts, lack of cooperation between coach and their players. When a coach is fired, a new coach come together with some new good players, they return to be a strong team.

Chelsea spent alot of money when the previous transfer window was open, but it's just like all the amount spent is just wasted because all the money spent didn't have any impact on the club, even club's that didn't spend much money performed better than Chelsea. I don't know if Chelsea players are having conflict between themselves, but I think they are not just ready to play for the club, so I believe something should be done to Chelsea current squad, they shouldn't just maintain all those player's.

This season is unique because Chelsea even fail to get a position to participate in European cup. In the past, if they have a bad season, they were able to join Europa League but it's not this one.

I wasn't expecting Chelsea to end the league in that position, that's too bad for Chelsea, they ended the season in 12th position, the should be ashamed of themselves, I was expecting then to end the season in a better position but the disgraced all their fan's.

It has already happened and they can't do much with the current conditions. Talking about embarrassment or not, of course they have that and I think the players are also quite satisfied with the results that don't always match expectations, but indeed this can be a good process and learning for them, especially for management because by carrying out a major overhaul with expensive players and changing coaches quickly is just like a double-edged sword because apart from being a good thing, on the other hand this can also be very bad.

[Uruhara]

It is true that in fact it will still be very difficult for any team to compete with Man City even next season. Because even now, financially, we know that Man City's finances are also very strong. the owner is a rich man who doesn't worry too much about money. and coupled with the current squad at Man City it is also filled with excellent players who have extraordinary individual skills. but right now Man City is also observing a number of young players who they seem to be targeting for the next transfer market.

yeah, I've been waiting for the FA Cup Final too. and I can't wait to see the results of the final match.

[rendravolt]

I agree that Arsenal should be happy, they got a lot of money for being 2nd in the premier league, and they will get al ot for being in UCL as well and next season if they go out of the groups which I assume they probably will, then they will make a lot more. Combine all these together and they should be capable of winning something much bigger next season and maybe they can do great transfers considering how much money they are going to make.

All these thing should matter because it will benefit them and it would be a lot better. Buying just 1 superstar alone would make it so much better, don't get couple of good players, get one amazing player, like 100+ million player, that is what Arsenal needs without a doubt, they need a superstar.

Even though Arsenal earn a lot of money after finishing in 2nd place in the standings or even if they can finally return to the highest European competition, I think it's not Arsenal's style to buy players at expensive prices that even exceed 100+ million euros. We know that Arteta's leadership has declined from his former senior coach, Arsene Wenger, who so far likes to get talented young players but at a much cheaper price. Even if Arsenal had to spend 100 million euros, they would definitely think about it again and would prefer that amount of money to buy 2 or 3 players rather than just getting 1 player.

whether Arsenal will spend big money in the transfer market this summer or not. but Arsenal will indeed be more interested in buying young players at a cheaper price than buying a star.
like the recent news that Arsenal is also eyeing a young player from the Brazil U-20 national team, Marcos Leonardo. however, Arsenal have been very good this season. they just lost focus at the end of the season. and they will fix that to compete with City and Man United next season.

It seems that these rumors are true and again that Arsenal prefer players with lower prices. Next season's EPL competition will be tougher because several teams are starting to rise, such as Manchester United and Newcastle. For sure Arsenal and Manchester City will be more vigilant for next season, they will not be competing against each other again next season but with more teams.

But I will still favor Manchester City and Arsenal at the start of the season until the middle of the season and after that it will be increasingly visible how the atmosphere of competition to win the title, including the hunt for the top 4 positions in the standings. It looks like teams like Brighton and Aston villa will return to compete for the rest of the season. For Liverpool and Chelsea I still don't see them as a serious threat after what both have been through this season.

Arsenal's adventure in the Premier League continues if they are too afraid to spend a lot of money to buy top players every season. Arsenal can't win titles if they always prioritize regular players who improve during training, that's difficult even if they come from their own academy. I know it's their way of business that seems to be lagging behind when other teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United are competing to get great players to make their team's strengths even better.

Let's be honest that Arsenal will always have a hard time winning the title if the player transfer policy is like that. If Arteta wants to lead Arsenal to win the Premier League, then he must demand that his management give him an adequate spending budget.

Arsenal is not a competitive team, they are just business club, for the past year none of their players has won any award in the league, they are found of buying average players every season and they expect to win a trophy, it does not work  like that, any team that want to be champion must buy and spend more money on high profile players.  look at Manchester city and Liverpool for the past years they have spent so much for players and had won trophies too, Arsenal are not winning because they don't have good players to challenge for trophy.

If they want to compete they must have to spend more this season to bring in big players.

[Bananington]

Let's be honest that Arsenal will always have a hard time winning the title if the player transfer policy is like that. If Arteta wants to lead Arsenal to win the Premier League, then he must demand that his management give him an adequate spending budget.

Arsenal have spent more in the last season and will spend more against next season than any season that I have known them. The Arsenal we have known since is a team that gets the cheapest of players, players who are average. Next season's requirements have affected this their nature, the management of the club granted permission to the Arteta to spend some more money. Spending some more money does not mean that they should buy very expensive players, they still need to spend well. Arsenal know the players to buy, they will go with what they can offer, it is left for these players to either accept the offer or not.

[GiftedMAN]

I agree that Arsenal should be happy, they got a lot of money for being 2nd in the premier league, and they will get al ot for being in UCL as well and next season if they go out of the groups which I assume they probably will, then they will make a lot more. Combine all these together and they should be capable of winning something much bigger next season and maybe they can do great transfers considering how much money they are going to make.

Buying just 1 superstar alone would make it so much better, don't get couple of good players, get one amazing player, like 100+ million player, that is what Arsenal needs without a doubt, they need a superstar.

To me Arsenal should not be happy for not winning the league. I know they are rebuilding but they should stop seeing themselves as a small team. They had all it took to win the league and they bottled it. Same thing with Dortmund.
They make enough money to reinforce their team and sign the right players.
They need a couple of very good players. Getting just one world class player is a big mistake. They need squad depth. They will be playing in a lot competitions next season and they need to focus on all. They should not make the same mistake they did this season. This season they focused only in the EPL which backfired. They also didn't have enough quality so when players got injured and fatigue, there were no replacement.

Agreed. Seeing so many Arsenal fans bragging about them finishing 2nd in the  English Premier League and booking their ways in to the Champions League gives me so much concern because they didn't achieve nothing this season after playing a very good football from the beginning of the season up till when the league was remaining less than 10 matches they suddenly declined in their performance that's very bad.
Now the big question is this, Arsenal focused on few competition yet they couldn't win the league and by next season when they will participate in most of the competition how will they survive it? If they don't get quality players and work on their performances they can't fight next season and no one knows how the players will perform next season and the level of injury crises they will likely encounter too.

[Distraction]

If they want to compete they must have to spend more this season to bring in big players.

Until this season yeah, they really haven't been a competitive team for the league title. But in this season they surprised us all. Because we have known them in the recent years by making a good run for a while but starting to mess it up after a point. This time they kept being concentrated for a long time period which even helped them stay in the title competition.

But the messing it up thing happened again for them on the last weeks of the season as they lost many points. Maybe this caused them to lose their title chance but finishing at the 2nd position is still incredible. Maybe this is the start of some really good things for Arsenal. They are back in the Champions League after a long while. There is no way they aren't strengthening the squad more now in my opinion.

[HajiBagi]

There is an FA Cup finale ahead which is only two days later. Manchester City and Manchester United are going to be fighting over the title in Wembley. These teams both are teams that have achieved a title already. While Manchester City were winning the Premier League title, Manchester United won the EFL Cup. It is a big opportunity for each side to make double.

However Manchester City come a few steps forward in this game in my opinion. Because there is still going to be a week to go for the Champions League finale so they can start with all of their usual players. As we all know how prestigious cup the FA Cup is they would do their best to win this game. I don't think Manchester United can surprise them in this game.

It will be very challenging because both clubs are competing in the championship game, but just because Manchester City is competing in the Champions League doesn't mean they won't use their favorite players; they will use any of their favorite players because it is the championship game. Since Manchester City has talented players, they can still perform well the following day even if they play today. I am aware, though, that Manchester United is equally good this year and has a chance to capture the championship.
Although both clubs are from the same branch and can play each other, I'd like us to focus on Manchester City's performance instead because it appears that no team will be able to defeat them without much difficulty this season.

[Issa56]

especially for management because by carrying out a major overhaul with expensive players and changing coaches quickly is just like a double-edged sword because apart from being a good thing, on the other hand this can also be very bad.

I think it's really bad for a club to be changing coach frequently, it's going to affect the clubs performance, the players won't really get to understand each other, each coach will always come with his own tactics and pattern, so changing coach frequently will make players not to understand each other. I can say it that the first mistake Chelsea made was sacking Tuchel. That was when I noticed that Chelsea problem started from, they should have just given Tuchel Enough time, but Chelsea management was impatient and they went ahead to sack Tuchel, since then Chelsea performance have been getting worst even after getting new coach, changing of coach anyhow is really bad for the club.

[Ayers]

It's useless if they have a lot of money but they can't use it like anything. Let's see what happens to one of the richest teams in Ligue 1, Paris Saint Germain. They have a lot of money, but have they achieved great success? i didn't see that from them.

PSG have had great success in their dominance of Ligue 1, but they have not been as fortunate as other teams in European competition. PSG have also reached the Champions League final, but they haven't won one like Manchester City. Success will only be achieved in stages, I mean they are still growing from time to time. Unlike Leicester, who were relegated after winning the Premier League a few seasons ago.
There have been many other examples of decline in the Premier League even though they are a top-flight club with good financial standing. Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United are some of the teams that are currently experiencing a setback in terms of winning titles at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Manchester City have appeared consistently by winning many titles every season, regardless they have not proven capable of winning the Champions League. Don't you think that is a great success?

PSG is just winning the Ligue 1 title unfairly in my opinion. They have a huge advantage financially over the other teams in the Ligue 1 competition and they are basically steamrolling over their opponent in the league.

But when it comes to some actual competition like playing against a Champions League team they are not able to do anything. Even if they have a huge lead in the first leg, they end up somehow losing in the second leg and not qualifying for the next stage. I believe this is going to make PSG a much less interesting place for great players to be in. And trust me, if that it not pay the players so much money they wouldn't have gone to PSG anyway.

[RockBell]

Spending some more money does not mean that they should buy very expensive players, they still need to spend well. Arsenal know the players to buy, they will go with what they can offer, it is left for these players to either accept the offer or not.

With the approval of this motion, the club's ability to recruit more potential players will significantly improve. Players like Saka, who have good potential, are managed well and consistently deliver when called upon, will see significant improvements if they can recruit other players who can score goals accurately and provide assists. That is one of the few tactics I observe Guardiola employing, as evidenced by the fact that Haaland makes fantastic assists and scores goals with accuracy. And when compared to previous seasons, Arsenal really gave it their all this year. If it weren't for a lack of consistency in their dedication, they would have won the league. We all hope for a better Arsenal next season.

If they don't get quality players and work on their performances they can't fight next season and no one knows how the players will perform next season and the level of injury crises they will likely encounter too.

If the budget is severely limited, they are unlikely to buy enough players to start the season afresh with the same energy and spirit as this season... I think this season will not be repeated for many years to come and they are unlikely to get that close to first place in the next few seasons. However, let's see how they perform in the champions league

[rahmad2nd]

But somehow United have a chance to overthrow Manchester City in the FA Cup final later. because, they never proved it during the second meeting this season. So the question is, what will Ten Hag apply in the final match? so, I think United have a chance to thwart Man City's chance of recording a Treble. although on paper, City is far more in the favourites. this scenario could happen by the way but on condition that United play the full squad. even though as we all know, that some of their other players are still suffering from injuries, especially their flagship defender Lisandro Martinez. in essence, Ten Hag has an important task of anticipating Manchester City players.

On the other hand, City is far the favorite because Pep Guardiola's team is in an on fire performance. to break the system that Pep Guardiola has implemented, it seems that it is not an easy job. well, before we assume too far. Let's wait, what will be done by these two coaches with the system in the match later.

Last game for Manchester United and absolutely they want close this season with trophy, against Manchester City on FA Cup final could be motivate for Erik Tan Hag winning second tittle for Manchester United after last month won EFL Cup. But Manchester City opponent is not easy because they are have good performance in this season by winning Primer League and success lead to Champion League final.

For defense, Manchester United seems will use option Varane and Lisandro Martinez but has possibilities move Luke Shaw position as left defender become center defender as partner for Varane. Its excited to know who can stopping Haaland for scoring goal in FA Cup, however he was success become Primer League top scorer in this season and against Manchester United on FA Cup final become great chance added his goals collection in this season.

Let's assume and speculate. my point is, can Luke Shaw stop Bernaldo Silva's movement? or, Pep could just play Riyad Mahrez as the main starter. because, Mahrez is purely a winger. IMO, as far as I can see, City's players are really flexible. I mean, if Benardo Silva, can't find much space then the ball will move quickly to Grealish. in this situation, City's players can stab into the United penalty box area or provide space for De Bruyne and Gundohan. the rest, Haaland has the potential to execute opportunities. but by the way, this is just a scenario we see a lot in City games.

Well, I'm sure Ten Hag is well aware that their opposing team in the Final match is not an easy team to beat. to be honest, I'm curious what Ten Hag will implement. probably, Ten Hag will not use the pattern that is his mainstay with the 4-2-3-1 formation, but I am very sure, United will only aim for counterattacks. does not mean, they will play full defense. because, Ten Hag has an offensive style of play.
on the United side, who will Ten Hag play as a center forward, will he still play Martial, or choose Rashford. if Martial, it is difficult for United to counterattack. ideally, Rasford would be a centre-forward. Eriken and Casemiro became the pivot, to help Bruno set up a fast counter-attack rhythm. well, the point here, United have a counterattack that is quite deadly. that's why I said, if United have a chance to stop City from winning the treble winner. So, this fight will be very interesting. but to find out more, let's just wait and see what the two coaches will apply to their respective teams.

[püsür]

I agree that Arsenal should be happy, they got a lot of money for being 2nd in the premier league, and they will get al ot for being in UCL as well and next season if they go out of the groups which I assume they probably will, then they will make a lot more. Combine all these together and they should be capable of winning something much bigger next season and maybe they can do great transfers considering how much money they are going to make.

All these thing should matter because it will benefit them and it would be a lot better. Buying just 1 superstar alone would make it so much better, don't get couple of good players, get one amazing player, like 100+ million player, that is what Arsenal needs without a doubt, they need a superstar.

Even though Arsenal earn a lot of money after finishing in 2nd place in the standings or even if they can finally return to the highest European competition, I think it's not Arsenal's style to buy players at expensive prices that even exceed 100+ million euros. We know that Arteta's leadership has declined from his former senior coach, Arsene Wenger, who so far likes to get talented young players but at a much cheaper price. Even if Arsenal had to spend 100 million euros, they would definitely think about it again and would prefer that amount of money to buy 2 or 3 players rather than just getting 1 player.

whether Arsenal will spend big money in the transfer market this summer or not. but Arsenal will indeed be more interested in buying young players at a cheaper price than buying a star.
like the recent news that Arsenal is also eyeing a young player from the Brazil U-20 national team, Marcos Leonardo. however, Arsenal have been very good this season. they just lost focus at the end of the season. and they will fix that to compete with City and Man United next season.

It seems that these rumors are true and again that Arsenal prefer players with lower prices. Next season's EPL competition will be tougher because several teams are starting to rise, such as Manchester United and Newcastle. For sure Arsenal and Manchester City will be more vigilant for next season, they will not be competing against each other again next season but with more teams.

But I will still favor Manchester City and Arsenal at the start of the season until the middle of the season and after that it will be increasingly visible how the atmosphere of competition to win the title, including the hunt for the top 4 positions in the standings. It looks like teams like Brighton and Aston villa will return to compete for the rest of the season. For Liverpool and Chelsea I still don't see them as a serious threat after what both have been through this season.

In a league like the Premier League, Arsenal has been very successful this season with its current staff and coach. Being a champion in a league with City was not easy. If Arsenal want to be in the championship race in the same way in the new season, they must first make point transfers such as a striker who can score 20-25 goals, a good defender, a central midfielder who can play both sides of the game. Prolific wing-forwards like Trossard, Jessus, Saka have a 10 like Odegaard, but they need to make up for other shortcomings. They should turn to names like Tielemans-Barnes-Maddison from Leicester City. They want Ilkay again, I think it seems difficult, but there is a possibility that it may happen.

[Leviathan.007]

especially for management because by carrying out a major overhaul with expensive players and changing coaches quickly is just like a double-edged sword because apart from being a good thing, on the other hand this can also be very bad.

I think it's really bad for a club to be changing coach frequently, it's going to affect the clubs performance, the players won't really get to understand each other, each coach will always come with his own tactics and pattern, so changing coach frequently will make players not to understand each other. I can say it that the first mistake Chelsea made was sacking Tuchel. That was when I noticed that Chelsea problem started from, they should have just given Tuchel Enough time, but Chelsea management was impatient and they went ahead to sack Tuchel, since then Chelsea performance have been getting worst even after getting new coach, changing of coach anyhow is really bad for the club.

Chelsea had many mistakes during this season and other previous seasons, Tuchel had well performed there and he had amazing results in the champions league when he was working there but instead of keep working with him, they started working with other managers and coaches like Potter while Potter could never have a good performance in Chelsea.
For a great team like Chelsea, they need a great coach too not someone Potter, but we should see how Pochettino is going to perform.

[wmaurik]

If the budget is severely limited, they are unlikely to buy enough players to start the season afresh with the same energy and spirit as this season... I think this season will not be repeated for many years to come and they are unlikely to get that close to first place in the next few seasons. However, let's see how they perform in the champions league

If the budget is limited enough to get new players, maybe what you say can be true in the coming season because Arsenal still have to stick with their old players as seen this season. However, the team management and coaches should be very aware of what level their performance is at, so at least they should be able to get new players for next season, even if only for one or two players. Because with the existing squad as seen this season it will certainly be very difficult to compete in the Champions League next season.
