Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

It wasn't the best season for Darwin Núñez. However, as erratic and inconsistent as Liverpool's overall performances have been, I'd say Darwin Núñez has played well enough this season. We must not forget that he is still young, not experienced enough. Moreover, it was his first season with Liverpool. He could not adapt himself well to the team. But next season maybe we will see a more composed performance from Darwin Núñez. There is no doubt that Darwin Núñez is a talented player. If the coach can use Darwin Núñez properly, he can score a lot of goals.

Firmino has been a very important player for the Liverpool squad. We don't know how Liverpool will fill his void if Firmino leaves. Liverpool has enough money. Perhaps they are looking for a new talent.

Robert Firmino will be replaced and new players will set in his position. Darwin Nunez was compared to Erling Haaland during his first game; his performance was exceptionally fantastic, weighing better than Erling Haaland, who made numerous blunders on footings on the ball. I never imagined Erling Haaland would outperform Darwin Nunez with such an effective performance. Furthermore, Liverpool was not in their finest form this season, with uneven league performance, winning elite clubs with huge scoresheets such as Manchester United, who dropped to Liverpool 7-2 and then lost the next game. Jurgen Klopp will improve the club's performance in the coming season by recruiting one of the best midfielders from the Seagulls, Mac Allister. Let's see how they perform next season.

Starting the next season with a couple of losses would be the worst ever, but I don't know whether the pressure on Pochettino would even be that high then. He would exactly sell bad news to the media like you said it. He would say that cleaning up the mess will take some time whereas if they are successful he will say how brilliantly they prepared for the season. But I think that he is in quite a relaxed position and Chelsea wouldn't sack him early on in the season because what would they do then? Get another Potter? That's the advantage as a coach when you start from nothing.

Right now, they need to have done their homework about players selection because this is first thing which needs good intention, and they are doing positive with first player is already arrived from RB Leipzig hopefully in coming days we will have few more quality players with the help of these new and few old things could be improved and after this hopefully they will go ahead with some friendly matches which will give them better idea which players are going to have better performance and if this all gone as plan than surely their start could be ideal, and we will have good performance from them throughout season.

But on other-side if we have no ideal start like we are looking then surely things will take time and then after few rounds they will be able to adjusted and give their best as requirements which is not problem because in coming season they will be play only in Premier League and few domestic cups which are not problem for them.

Nkuku is a great center forward that every club would dream of but Chelsea bid for him and got him, that's a good profflit for Leipzig by the way, bought $13m and sold for $60m is great investment in my opinion and he has also contributed a lot to Leipzig by making them among the top three teams in Germany Bundesliga league this season  and they will be going to the Champions league next season, I think Chelsea is about to make greatness next season.

The arrival of Nkunku at Chelsea will strengthen their forward line by next season, albeit this will depend on how the new manager uses him. Other players must demonstrate more ability and commitment on the field of play for the other players to do effectively. I don't expect anything less than an outstanding performance from Chelsea after such a disappointing season; they should have learned by now.

Personally, I like Christopher Nkunku very much. I like Christopher Nkunku's style of play. He scored 16 goals and 3 assists in 25 matches with Leipzig last season. He has performed quite well. If Chelsea can add Christopher Nkunku to the team next season, their attack will undoubtedly be stronger.

However, Chelsea has talented players like Aubameyang, Pulisic, Sterling, and Fofana in attack. So if Chelsea's new coach Pochettino can't strengthen the bond between the players, this team will not be able to perform well in the next season. Pochettino will have to work hard to strengthen this squad.

for the next few seasons it looks like Man City will continue to dominate the premier league and for next summer it looks like there is a new dream for Man City to win the champions league title again and of course Man City management will retain their best players or even add some talented players from the transfer market to strengthen Man City's performance.
After successfully winning the treble title, all the Man City players and coaches became more enthusiastic about being able to get more trophies.

It's likely to happen. Just try to remind you that if manchester city was adding more players to the club while at the same time city is still having really big ambition to extend the contract for some of its players like gundogan and kyle walker.
I see no reason for the performance from manchester city to decrease a lot caused by it will be performing use the same squad. Pep has been also putting the same target for the next season. There will be no a lot of changes to happen in manchester city. The thing that i knew that if city is now focusing to face sevilla soon. Gundogan is still trying to think for twice before he will leave from manchester city. It seems like Walker will agree to the new contract that City is offering him.


Even ittihad and hilal have been preparing so much money for gundogan.
I hope that gundogan will be staying even longer in the club. It's very good for his career and he will be able to become city's legend.

[Bobrox]

Manchester City are favorites to win the EPL again next season, this has been the case for quite a lot of seasons now. Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have won 5 EPL titles out of the last 6 season's, that is an unbelievable and unprecedented feat, something that if it continues, the EPL might soon be referred to as the farmers' league.

City would lose a couple of players this summer, it is certain Joao Cancelo is leaving, there is also doubts about Gundogan, Kyle Walker, Bernado Silva and Aymeric Laporte, even if they lose a couple of these players, they'd still be extremely strong next season and favorites to retain all 3 trophies they won last season. City are also going to make signings themselves, Kovacic is coming to the Etihad and they would soon send a bid for Leipzig's CB Gvardiol.

Since last three years winning Primer League three time in a row seems Manchester City is always favorite become the champion on every season, due has complicated squad and not difference qualities between main and reserve players make Pep Guardiola easy for winning every match although got problem with several player injured.

Joao Cancelo was confirmed leave Manchester City for next season, but its not big problem for Manchester City because success won treble winner this season although Joao Cancelo loan to Bayern Munich on second half season. Pep Guardiola has prepare with several replacement position after many rumor linked with Kyle Walker interested by Bayer Munich, beside still has another player from Gundogan rumor move to Arsenal or Barcelona and Bernando Silva interested by PSG.

There are speculations about Arsenal allowing Thomas Partey to leave this summer. Honestly I don't really have a problem with selling Partey at that amount. The problem is also selling Xhaka as well. It'll really leave their midfield lacking in experience though. In as much as I want him gone too but not on the back of losing two of their midfield generals at one go.
Remember that the midfield is at the heart of how they play. Even if the new guy comes in and hits the ground running, we can't realistically expect two new midfielders to hit it off immediately.

[Dzwaafu11]

Chelsea and Newcastle will be the teams I expect the most movement in this transfer period. Chelsea signed Nkunku and added a strong player to their squad. One player who had a great time in the Bundesliga is Nkunku. I am sure that he will adapt to the Premier League and achieve success there as well. Of course, when it comes to striker, it goes without saying that Haaland is the best.

Of course, because after all they really need the best, high-quality players for ammunition in the Premier League next season, especially Chelsea who will be doing a lot of massive maneuvers. Very right with Chelsea's decision to have succeeded in bringing Nkunku on a 6-year contract, he will be included in Pochettino's long-term plans along with other quality players they have also managed to bring in. I see that Nkunku is very happy and excited to be joining Chelsea, he is a high-quality player from Leipzig, and with his various achievements while in Germany he has been named the best player in the Bundesliga and has won the DFB cup in the 2022 season.

All Chelsea need right now are good, seasoned players who can boost their performance in the upcoming Premier League competition, and I believe Nkuku joining the team will be a great decision for them because of how well he played in the Bundesliga these past seasons, which has convinced me that he will be a great player for Chelsea in the upcoming season. Nkuku is great at striking, though, and I believe he will exert every effort to help the team succeed in the upcoming season.

However, I think that because Nkuku was named the best player in Germany and that was given to him because of his experience and the way he played, you can see that even in the Premier League next season, he still has a chance to accomplish a lot of things, which would be fantastic. I also think Chelsea should continue looking for players with a lot of experience to add to their squad in order to have a successful season the following year.

Those would be bad moves as midfield is what wins or loses you games.For Xhaka I think he is a great player and still not old in age which means he can sure give again to Arsenal,I don't know about Partey but as you say letting two players go without substituting them with better ones is not the best of the moves in the summer.Also let's suppose you get two other great players to replace them,these new players cannot directly produce good results for Arsenal as they will need time to know each other and the new team,thus taking more time to be harmonized as a team and this is what Arsenal should keep in mind before making any move.

...Lampard wasn't a coach so anything instead of Lampard was a win for the fans, people aren't ready to have this discussion because Lampard is a Chelsea legend but he wasn't supposed to be handed Chelsea in the first instance and neither does he deserves the second opportunity he got under Todd Boehly to handle the club. He cost us so much in the short period he was the caretaker of the club. Immediately he took over, our champions league hopes got destroyed and other hopes as well...

I have a lot of sympathy for Frank Lampard, but so far this is still not the figure in the coaching shop who can raise the club from the middle of the table to the level of the championship leaders. Lampard in his current form is more of a head coach who can keep any club in the Premier League. Lampard's appointment at the end of the season is a clear indication that Todd Boehly and the company did not have a clear plan and candidates in case of Potter's dismissal and their feverish search activity led to Lampard being appointed, who, with all due respect to him, did not pull the role of the person who would save a hopelessly failed season for Chelsea.

Lampard was just a puppet Todd Boelly think they could use to keep Chelsea on balance, there was no back up plan because if they had it in mind to replace Graham Potter, they would have done so during the transfer window but they found out lately how Potter was underperforming and they just had to free him of the club responsibility of weekly salary and stress without any good results, though I commend him for bringing in good players but the problem was that he couldn't utilize the players as they were supposed.

I think Lampard career need a recheck and review, even Chelsea had to sign him as a caretaker manager instead of full manager and when he had the chance to prove his worthy, he failed whole fully more than the performance of Todd Boely but seeing Pochettino actions, I hope to see the reaction side of it to balance Newton third law of motion.

If it's just speculation it still doesn't look like there's a possibility of a move, but if Arsenal have to sell a player in their midfield to get a new player to replace him there's no problem as long as it suits Arteta I think it's fine, maybe Arteta wants something new for their squad team let alone facing a great club in the league as well as in the UCL next season.

It does take time to make the squad team solid, playing in rhythm according to the wishes of the coach and the strategy made, but I think over time if new players have had enough playing hours I think they will quickly adapt to other players, the competition is quite tight, I think I think Arteta just wants to create a new style of play to be able to win the league next season after his failure last season.

I personally prefer Arsenal to keep Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka. But it seems that Arteta really wants to make big changes to the Arsenal club. Even though what I expect from Arsenal is to keep the existing players and add a few players to the attack line. As for the midfield, I think the two players actually played quite an important role last season. But Arteta seems to have a strong desire to bring in Declan Rice. Even though the first offer was rejected by West Ham. but it seems Arsenal have not given up.

In fact, there are many other names that are also being targeted by Arsenal in the transfer market this time. for example, like Timothy Castagne and Ilkay Gundogan who are also players targeted by Arsenal this season. And Arsenal are also eyeing James Maddison, who is one of Leicester City's mainstay players. I think this season the Premier League will be much hotter than last season.

[Velvet78]

Graham Potter is still without club now. I thought he shouldn't have been signed by Chelsea in the first place as I saw it as a risk. Because Chelsea can be much more successful with managers who have at least a decent experience with big teams in Europe. Potter wasn't such manager so it is normal to have doubts about him.

I'm afraid he couldn't prove me wrong about this and his time was a big failure. I think he should go back to managing average teams in the league. I'm not saying this to belittle him of course. I'm saying it because he is much more successful with such teams. We have all seen how good he was with Brighton in the end.

Funny enough I thought Potter will do great at Chelsea. He was really good at Brighton and I felt he will replicate the same performance with Chelsea. How wrong I was. I really don't know what happened t Potter in Chelsea but he was beyond awful. His team played so badly. Chelsea should have fired him earlier.
But then again, Chelsea went ahead to hire Lampard. What exactly were they thinking? If Chelsea had gotten a better manager after sacking Potter they would have finished in a better place on the table. probably not a among the top 6, but definitely not 12th position.

Yeah it was also really odd that they just gave up on the season like that by bringing Lampard as a caretaker manager. If I don't remember wrong they could have still qualified for a European tournament by finishing the season at a much better position. Pochettino could have been signed back then as well and he could have at least tried his best to do this.

But there is nothing to do about it from now on. With Pochettino they are starting off with a clean slate and we will see how much change they will make. If we see a significant difference between last season's Chelsea and the new one's then I will still continue to blame Potter for last season.

Even ittihad and hilal have been preparing so much money for gundogan.
I hope that gundogan will be staying even longer in the club. It's very good for his career and he will be able to become city's legend.

Gundugan is already a city legend. He has won everything there is to win at a City. If I were him I would leave now. It's better to leave and be remembered as a top player than staying there till he's too old and starts catching the bench. Gundugan is a very good player. I even feel he's underrated, because he's a very integral part of that Manchester City team. De Bruyne can be missing and Man City would manage but when Gundugan is away the team suffers. Then there is the way Gundugan always steps up at the big moments to save Manchester City. He has done his all for City so at this point it would be best if he goes to Barcelona and search for more glory.

Would Partey feel threatened by his regular position if Declan Rice joined Arsenal? I think maybe that's what Partey is thinking if the reason he left was in the summer and it's no wonder because Partey is actually a good defensive midfielder and thanks to him over the past season Arsenal's defense has been very strong. But again, every player certainly wants more playing minutes and doesn't want to just be on the bench. I think even if he leaves Arsenal it seems that Partey will still be at an EPL club and if this happens then Arsenal will lose one of the most important figures so far.

But what is the difference between a Gudogan in June and a Gudogan in August? What is the reason to leave the best team in the world when he is the captain and one of the most important players in the team? It is not like he played so many games until June and won't play any games from August and afterwards. It is onto him to keep the performance and if he does why would Guardiola decide to not let him play?

@shogun47 Gundugan is definitely a City legend and whatever he decides will be respected by the City fan’s and I’m sure that he’ll be welcome back if he decides to join them in any role. Furthermore I feel that he should join Barcelona and further cement his legacy as he’s an incredible player and then after a year or two he should join the Saudi league.

I also think the same about the reigning champions, Manchester City. What makes me really like Manchester City is that they are still trying to add strength to their squad in the current transfer market. Even when they already have enough great players, they still take anticipatory steps by hunting for more great players. What I really regret about Manchester city is that this season the captain, Ilkay Gundogan, had to leave the club. Even though he is still very much needed in the Manchester City squad. But even so Manchester City will not lack great players on their front lines. so I'm also quite sure that Manchester City also has the potential to become the strongest candidate to win the Premier League title again. Maybe even in the Champions League Manchester City will still be the strongest candidate.

Xhaka is a great player that Arsenal is not supposed to sell out, Xhaka is used to the game and also good for the game.  I have no problem with them if they should Partey, but including Xhaka is not a good move, and this decision can seriously affect the club next season if their is no good midfielder that is good for the game. Arsenal should be very careful with the players they sell out , because they still need their key players add to the new players they will be having for the new season. If Arsenal only have players with no much experience it will be difficult for them to challenge big teams.

Arsenal needs to make good signing against next season because this is what will determine if they can be able to achieve success in the season or not. I don't expect Arsenal to make mistakes in signing players ,their lose in the last season should be a reason for them to get the best next season to achieve what they couldn't achieve in last season. Their competitors are not easy to win , should make them to form a stronger squad for next season.

That's never going to happen so let's operate in reality here. Bringing the players that he needs is not just up to his "freedom". We all know that there is a lot of competition in the market and other big teams would most likely bid for those players that he wants. Another constraint is that he cannot simply throw more millions just so he could outbid others.

Basically, Erik ten Hag was able to form a good squad so that Manchester United had a good performance but unfortunately, Erik ten Hag still couldn't maintain this good performance consistently throughout the season or until the end of the season. But yes, if for example Erik ten Hag is not given the freedom to acquire or bring in new players I am sure that Erik ten Hag can still produce good results. But yes, if it's to win the Premier League title or to go further in the Champions League next season, I personally feel that Manchester United still haven't been able to achieve that success.

I would say Erik Ten Hag has been successful this season because he has been able to strengthen the bond between Manchester United's players. He managed to fix the small problems that were there within the team. Manchester United is a very stable team now. And next season Erik Ten Hag will try to make this team even stronger. Since Manchester United has not been able to win the Premier League title for a long time, they will build a strong squad to win the title next season. Erik Ten Hag is quite an experienced coach. We may see more great gameplay from Manchester United next season.

IMO, I see Ten Hag at the moment wanting what he did when he was with Ajax. most likely, Ten Hag will no longer use a formation that requires a playmaker. it could be, if Bruno will be shifted to become a winger. for now, the system that he implemented has been running according to what he wanted. one or two touches, with a quick style of play and so does the rotation of the players. well, regarding goes ups and downs, I think it's very reasonable. after all, United do not have a second coating that is as good as the core team.
Well, if in this season's transfer window Ten Hag brings in players according to the wishes and needs of his team, don't be surprised, if United will be much stronger than the previous season. for newcomers, actually all coaches want very high quality players. and, Ten Hag is looking to sign some star players. but if in the end the hunt for Kane fails, he will definitely have other options, maybe even making an mediocre player shine. for example, Rashford.
So, what's wrong if Ten Hag is given the freedom to bring in the players he wants. By the way, I am not a supporter of The Red Devils, but under Ten Hag United will gradually find their glory again. especially, if the Glazers ceased to be owners.

You may be right. Ten Hag may come up with a change in his match strategy. Perhaps he doesn't want to be dependent on any particular player. And so he is not buying a scorer. He will stabilize the team. Every player in the team will perform well in his position. Even last season we saw United were not reliant on one particular player. If Manchester United provide Ten Hag with enough funds and freedom to buy players, he will strengthen this team. I think we will see a Guardiola vs Ten Hag battle next season. Both these teams will play for the title.

He’s been a mainstay in the Arsenal midfield for much of the campaign, but Partey lost form in the title run-in and Arteta feels it’s the he’s lost the hunger to go another season with the team. So Arteta is afraid of big underperformed players such as Ozil, Aubameyang and Lacazette and recently Partey. If they do eventually sign Rice, Arsenal would still need to bring in a replacement for Partey, because it seems Arteta wants to reshuffle his midfield ahead of next season.
