Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Docnaster]

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.

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?

Gundogan wants to leave when the ovation is high. It could be that he doesn't recieve the accolade and respect he needed to recieve as the team captain. Rather all these years it has been KDB and recently this ended season it is about Erling Haaland and then KDB. No one mentions Gundogan as a hit man or a hero and yet he does majority of the week in the middle.
Even in the UEFA team of the season he is missing. He should look for a new adventure even if it's the Saudo trend

As usual, the Premier League is indeed a competitive league, so it is difficult for us to predict and say which club will be the superior club next season. Even though we put Manachester City as the club that has the biggest chance, it doesn't guarantee that they will easily win the title, as happened in the season we just passed. They had to fight hard to catch Arsenal, and they could be said to be lucky because the club they were after eventually experienced a decline in performance so that it was a little easier for them to coup the position that Arsenal had long occupied.

Next season will be different, and maybe we don't see Manchester City in the title race, that's possible right? because now a massive evaluation will be carried out by all clubs to navigate the 2023/2024 season

You are so valid, current performance is not indicative of future performance, Man City did well this season but that doesn't mean that they did not have changes. And if Arsenal could have done better than relenting when they needed to fight most, they would have won the title. Next season is another chapter that no one knows yet, there are viable contenders in the line-up.

A good contender to be watched for is Liverpool, I will not underestimate them with the comeback they displayed in the last months of this season.

Yes, that's true, but sometimes we forget and always make the previous season a benchmark for us to see what might happen, even though that's not wrong, that's not a guarantee either. There are many factors that will ultimately affect a club's performance, both internal and external factors which in the end make them drastically decline.
I hope one thing I want to say, clubs that are considered strong clubs now I hope they don't get lulled into the atmosphere of the comfort zone, however they have to improve every season so they are not overtaken by other clubs that are also experiencing improvements.

Manchester City is one of the strongest clubs. Just as well as Manchester united, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal too.
These clubs I mentioned have a capacity to win the league next season with the kind of performance we just witnessed. Although Arsenal may need to strengthen the attack with more experience and defense too, Manchester United has a well blended squad that's ready to do damage in the next season.

The quality and cohesion of the new players and managers who might be arriving these clubs is a big determinant on whether Manchester city would lift the trophy next season. It's all open down till the last 5games.

I agree with that, even clubs that are not on the list of clubs that you mentioned are also very likely to give surprises. This is the Premier League as we know it always brings surprises that we might not have thought of before.
Apart from all that, I just wish I watched the Premier League as usual where no club is far from being overtaken by other clubs in terms of points, because it makes the competition for the title a bit monotonous. I hope the rivalry will still exist even until their last 1 match.

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.

The coach doesn't need to strengthen any bond between those players you mentioned as alot of them will be sold or loaned before the transfer window ends. Already Aubameyang is going to continue his football at Saudi Arabia and other Chelsea players will be following him out of the door. Fofana would be sold or loan as there are rumors of Chelsea wanting to sign a striker who isn't going to be our first choice striker which means we'll likely get two strikers coming in before the window closes. Pulisic who be sold as well. Sterling still has some quality in him and can be utilized very well under Pochettino and that's the only player available frolm your list.

There's no doubt we have to strengthen the bonds of the new players we'll be signing in this summer window and that's what preseason are for. Todd Boehly got some millions in his bag to use in buying players Pochettino wants because he's getting alot of profits from the Chelsea players getting interest from the PIF of the Saudis. Already the likes of Kante, Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, Koulibaly are already on their way to Saudi Arabia as those deals has been finalized and Havertz is going to Arsenal as well with Mason Mount leaving to Manchester united.

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.

Xhaka, is one of the Gunners' important players who is almost certainly always the main starter. in one season, he has played 36 matches as a starter in the Premier League. his role this season, really contributed greatly in every game with the Gunners. Actually, I don't like it when he leaves and is replaced by another player. however, it looks like he has decided to decide on his future playing with another club. if Declan Rice is successfully brought in from West Ham, it is certain that Xhaka will leave for the Bundesliga to join Leverkusen.

Meanwhile Partey, at the end of the season his performance has decreased. then, Arteta had time to rotate him into full-back and it seemed he was playing quite well. to be sure, these two players are key players as well as a counterbalance to the young squad of The Gunners. if both of them leave next season, Arsenal will only have Jorginho. Anyway, I don't know what Arteta is planning with his squad for next season. in fact, we have a tussle over the exorbitant price of Declan Rice. but what is certain, the coming and going of players is something that is certain in a team. Gradually, each player has his time.

As an Arsenal supporter, I hope Arteta is not wrong with his decision. and hopefully what we hope for can be realized in the next season, even though we are well aware that it doesn't seem like it will be easy for the young Gunners squad. So, let's see how it develops.

[hyudien]

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.

I think Arteta had other plans and his decision to change players was inevitable. However, in the future, Arteta will definitely know what Arsenal really need. Even though I actually don't agree if Xhaka is on the sales list, it's not too much of a problem for Partey because his performance also declined at the end of last season.

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.

The coach doesn't need to strengthen any bond between those players you mentioned as alot of them will be sold or loaned before the transfer window ends. Already Aubameyang is going to continue his football at Saudi Arabia and other Chelsea players will be following him out of the door. Fofana would be sold or loan as there are rumors of Chelsea wanting to sign a striker who isn't going to be our first choice striker which means we'll likely get two strikers coming in before the window closes. Pulisic who be sold as well. Sterling still has some quality in him and can be utilized very well under Pochettino and that's the only player available frolm your list.

Fofana and Aubameyang don't seem to need to be strengthened or defended by Chelsea. Whatever the new coach wants must be completely endorsed and a complete overhaul must be made so that it doesn't look like Pochettino half measures. Thus there is no reason for next season to target the final ranking in the standings.

I'm excited to see my favorite club getting back to their form this season. Players leaving the club will have no effect on their form the next season; alternatively, it will relieve the club of its difficulties. This season brings new players, a new coach, and a new game logic. Chelsea will have a better chance of returning to glory if they sign potential exceptional abilities. Todd Boehly will do what he does best: spend huge amounts of money in the transfer window. Mauricio Pochettino will plan his personal XI for league games, and there will be multiple modifications in the Chelsea team.

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.

I'm no fan of the Emirates, but we both know who should leave, Granit Xhaka has been a temperamental player and at times also lacks discipline. Thomas Partey also is no bad player but with age and injuries, he wasn't so consistent for Arsenal at the end of the season.
Good wishes are with Thomas Partey, I'm dead certain he'll excel at the Saudi Arabian League.

Gunner's have been linked to Timber from Ajax, Latvia from Southampton and also Declan Rice ahead of the Pre-season. They couldn't win the Premier League because they lacked depths and due to fatigue.

They should improve themselves because if what was shown the previous season continues then it will be a waste of money that was spent last season and the season that will soon start, maybe they will not immediately challenge for the championship but are targeting to be able to finish in the top four, and what is it will also benefit Chelsea they only need to focus on all local competitions because there is no European competition they will play, if Pochettino is able to build Chelsea quickly what is targeted will be possible to achieve, but before the season starts it is impossible to say they are improving because of what they are doing at the moment this is just preparation to be better.

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.

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 think him directly going to Saudi league would pay him a lot more than he could ever dream of. I am not seeing Saudi league keep paying people 100+ million a year just to get them, that's not going to happen, it would be pretty impossible to keep paying like that. They are paying these amounts to first arrivers because they are the ones who are breaking that wall, but after they have a certain amount of players there already, they will start paying a lot less, not as little as what European clubs would, still like 40-50 million a year, amounts you can't find anywhere else, but not 100+ million.

This is why I believe that we should be focusing on what they could be doing with what they have, and Ilkay should go there right away and get that bag.

Of course Gundogan's decision will be respected by all sections of City supporters, if he chooses to leave they'll understand his decision and respect it. He just had a child and prolly he and his family would love to move to a different country, he has given everything for City and has won all the trophies that there is to win, it might be time for a new challenge, we'd see.

Sergio Busquet left Barca at the end of this season, i guess Gundogan can come in with so much experience and leadership quality and bring back some of the experience Barca will be missing with the absence of Busquet; reliable sources have it that Xavi has spoken a lot with Gundogan, we'd see if he can influence his decision to come to Spain.

[Furious 7]

For now I don't think it's a matter of harmony or not but indeed the contracts of some Liverpool players have also expired this season.
Naby Keita, who has already ended up going straight to Ligue 1. Milner is also now certain to go to Brighton and currently Adrian, Chamberlain and of course Firmino are likely to leave as well with a contract that will expire at this time. With conditions like this, it is clear that Liverpool must bring in a number of players, at least to coat their squad, not even ruling out the possibility of finding core players.
Mac Allister has been projected but indeed this is still not enough because of course if they want to be better than this season they have to change for next season.

At the moment there is a foreign name for me because there is the name Ricardo Pepi which is projected to replace Firmino when he leaves but indeed this is still speculation because there is still no further news about Pepi and Liverpool.

Roberto Firmino has confirmed his departure from Liverpool after his stay ends on June 30, and so far Liverpool will only have Darwin Núñez as a centre-forward if they do not find a replacement for Firmino. Darwin Núñez has been very unstable this season, but maybe Klopp will start him as often as possible if Liverpool don't find another striker.

There are rumors about the arrival of a new striker, but so far I think it's just rumours. Liverpool basically have Nunez, but because Nunez's form has been disappointing some times, then Liverpool need to find another striker who can back up Nunez when his form is poor. But I'm sure Nunez will be better next season, but Klopp has to give him a lot of faith.

I missed that report and indeed after reading some reports Firmino will definitely leave Liverpool now.
In conditions like this, I think we should at least find another alternative as a replacement for Firmino. As you said, last season Darwin Nunez didn't play very well and indeed his game didn't even match his price and salary but when he tries to think positively maybe he needs more time in this case hopefully it can be right because if he doesn't succeed back for this season so indirectly this is already like a failure for him and Liverpool.
There is still another hope for runners there like Diaz or maybe Gakpo, who last season also failed to show their best performance for Gakpo at Liverpool.

For now I don't think it's a matter of harmony or not but indeed the contracts of some Liverpool players have also expired this season.
Naby Keita, who has already ended up going straight to Ligue 1. Milner is also now certain to go to Brighton and currently Adrian, Chamberlain and of course Firmino are likely to leave as well with a contract that will expire at this time. With conditions like this, it is clear that Liverpool must bring in a number of players, at least to coat their squad, not even ruling out the possibility of finding core players.

At the moment there is a foreign name for me because there is the name Ricardo Pepi which is projected to replace Firmino when he leaves but indeed this is still speculation because there is still no further news about Pepi and Liverpool.

I see the case of Liverpool as worrying, I don't know if things will go well for them next season, I hope so, the PL has been rising a lot, I think these teams have very strong competition, the teams that have to participate They are at a great level and are making their good moves, in my opinion, in this case many things can be done, if they make it possible for them to have new players, that's fine, but they also have to inject more encouragement, they must do more things, I don't know if they need a change of technical director, because I see them quite stuck in that aspect.

Personally, I have always liked this team a lot, they have players who make history and apart from everything they have a great history, all of that is respected, for me Liverpool is one of those teams that can always scare other teams They can easily intimidate.

Well, getting better now is one of the tasks they have to achieve because in a number of seasons they have even been strong competitors in the Premier League but this season they have been knocked out so it is certain that something is not right for this club and if they still want to be seen as more then one of the things that can be done is to improve themselves so they can be more competitive unlike this season.
Regardless of the change or not of the technical manager maybe this could be an option but it looks like they still won't do that for now and it's possible to trust this season but other conditions if this season doesn't go well again then it doesn't rule out a reshuffle from club management other than of the player will do.

[kro55]

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.

Darwin Nunez was compared to Haaland. And while not scoring as many goals as Haaland, I think Darwin Nunez has the potential. He is not a worse player than Haaland. Since Liverpool's entire team was unstable. So we don't get a better performance than Darwin Nunez. If the Liverpool coach is able to stabilize the squad next season, we will probably see more goals from Darwin Nunez.

But how the teams will perform next season is completely unknown. Manchester City has a strong squad. Manchester United and Liverpool are strengthening their squads. Newcastle and Arsenal will also try their best to build strong squads.

Players leaving the club will have no effect on their form the next season; alternatively, it will relieve the club of its difficulties. This season brings new players, a new coach, and a new game logic. Chelsea will have a better chance of returning to glory if they sign potential exceptional abilities. Todd Boehly will do what he does best: spend huge amounts of money in the transfer window. Mauricio Pochettino will plan his personal XI for league games, and there will be multiple modifications in the Chelsea team.

next season the focus of Pochettino may only be on the Premier League. now he is still trying to choose the players he will use in the squad. Let's hope next season won't be like last season, when Chelsea threw away a lot of money but they didn't get anything.
Pochettino has a big challenge, but let's hope he can overcome it. Competing at the top of the Premier League shouldn't be difficult for Chelsea. but it all depends on how ready the new team that Pochettino will build is.

[Sterbens]

Yes, of course, they don't want this to continue, because, after all, The Blues have a goal to get the title they always wanted. New quality players have been successfully brought in and of course, Todd has spent a lot of money in the hope that his team will be able to return to better form, being able to compete in the top five Premier League standings next season is very good for the start of his struggle. Various reforms have been made for Chelsea and I am sure that the new coach this time, namely Pochettino, will not waste any opportunity in every condition, I hope that there is a match between Pochettino and the players in forming a game strategy and hopefully, Pochettino is the right coach for the situation Chelsea now.

[bering]

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.

Thomas Partey has a contract until 2025 but Arsenal will let him to left this team this summer and so far the reasons why Arsenal allowing him moved to other clubs because recently Partey is injured prone and compared to when he was arrived in 2020 Partey performance was decline so that's why Arsenal are decide to sell him but not much offers came to this player and only Arabian teams but it wasn't mentioned which team who really interested to him

Arsenal also will added 2 more players into their sell lists and the name such as Kieran Tierney and Eddie Nketiah possibly will be sell and Arsenal will listen the offers from other teams to these players and if it looks reasonable then they will considers to sell them immediately but Kieran Tierney currently was linked to Newcastle and the negotiations still under progress and apparently Arsenal seem to be making big changes for next season because they will sell some of players which Arteta felt could not live up to his expectations

Yups this is the right time for Chelsea to cleanup have to get out of a bad situation this season is the first time Chelsea came out of the top 5 since 2015/2016
We don't know what the problem is even though Chelsea have great players and expensive but failed to reach the best place, maybe the coach's mistake?
I do not doubt Mauricio Pochettino he has enough experience as a manager in the Premier League he shouldn't need adjustments and just focus on finding players.

[Yogee]

We don't know what the problem is even though Chelsea have great players and expensive but failed to reach the best place, maybe the coach's mistake?

The recipe for failure was already there from forcing Abramovich out of the club to the new owner's sacking of Tuchel and changing almost everything so it's not really that we do not know what happened. The problem is above the managerial level and Potter couldn't do much about that in just six months unfortunately.

I will have to agree with you, I was listening to a sports broadcast this morning on a radio, and I heard the sports analyst saying that chelsea right now needs to sign new players, good players, and they themselves know this and have been taking some steps towards it, but unfortunately for them, they don't have the needed resources (money) to complete  any signing deal, I personally do not know how true this claim is, but then, if it be true, I think Chelsea's problem is much deeper than we all think, a club can have good players but without funding, such a club is likely to remain stagnant in terms of progression.

[Oneandpure]

Current agreement deal from Saudi Pro League teams, they have success signing several Chelsea players like Édouard Mendy, Koulibaly and Hakim Ziyech. Pochettino's decision is questionable by releasing several main players this season and the last transfer agreement deal after for Kai Havertz joining to Arsenal next season. Beside four players above, Chelsea has loss with Nkante after becoming the first Chelsea player joined Al Ittihad and looks last rumor with Mason Mount almost get deal with Manchester United.

Its right decision from Pochettino released many star player? I think all players above have good quality for Chelsea but looks they not in Pochettino scheme for next season.

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.

Don't you know that main mission of arteta right now? He was accepting partey to leave caused by it could be used as a way to push arsenal's management to buy rice with very high price like that.
That's the only reason for arsenal. Arsenal has sent second offer even though it's rejected again by westham. Im thinking about if arsenal is now has no choice other than using a lot of money to get rice from westham as soon as possible before he will be secured by the club like manchester city.
Declan rice is westham's most valuable asset at this moment. That's why the club will let him go as long as arsenal paid the corresponding amount for him.

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.

It's all depends on arteta's decision. He may know what best for arsenal. that's why he is trying to make declan rice as the most important target for arsenal right now.
