Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Xabalo1]

Chelsea need to be much more active in the transfer market now. They even need to be the most active team among the top teams of the league. Because they have parted ways with many players in this transfer window. They will need to replace them with solid alternatives as soon as possible. They are in a rebuilding process in short.

Nope, they don't need to be active in the transfer market right now because there's already a possible line up for the next season.

The last season Potter sign so many players and Chelsea squad can be used for 3 teams to be honest, even though they recently have sold many of their players, it doesn't hurt them because they still have many players.

I agree with you, last season Chelseas's squad was a mess, they had more than enough players... Sometimes having too many players in a team can cause a headache for a coach, trying to find a stable line up and also make a lot of people happy.. So what Chelsea is doing this season is offloading there excess weight and bringing in the very little required players that they feel is needed!!! And i feel (WE) Chelsea are doing just the right thing and we dont really have to outdo ourself this season!!!

After successfully carving out a great record with Manchester City which made him the first coach to be able to win 2 treble winners in Europe. Pep Guardiola is on another mission after guiding Manchester City to their first treble winner, the mission I mean is to make Manchester City the third club to win the Sextuple title.
To become the first coach to win 2 Sextuple, Guardiola must lead Manchester City to win the FA Community Shield title, European Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. With the current squad depth, can Guardiola help Manchester City win three more titles to become the first Premier League club to win a sextuple?

I believe Manchester City can achieve that. Guardiola planned friendly games vs Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid by the end of July to see the teams performance and how ready they are before official games.
First match will be played vs Arsenal regarding FA Community Shield. Gunners aren't easy but City are much powerful in my opinion. There is time for Arsenal to recruit more players and fix the team so we will see.
Second match is UEFA Super Cup vs Sevilla which is feasible tho. FIFA Club World Cup will be more challenging depending from the teams that they will face.

Pochettino has a big responsibility to carry this team to the place where they need to be. Chelsea wouldn't target the league title for now of course. The first step will be to finish a season in top 4. They still need time to be able to fight for bigger goals after leaving a poor season behind.

Chelsea is selling players to make sure the roster is flawless for the upcoming season, but my advise to Chelsea is to check everything out thoroughly to avoid making any mistakes by selling a player they'll later regret. The squad should only concentrate on being in a better position so they can perform in the champions league; it will be beneficial if Chelsea doesn't compete for any titles next season.
Although selling players can help the team, and I think Chelsea has many players they can offload while still having money left over to invest in new, talented players, I would also advise Chelsea to replace the sold players with new ones who are capable of playing at a high level more than those who will compete in the 2022–2023 season.

Pep Guediola's squad is very solid and they have names of players who are indeed influential and are the key to Manchester City's game. Their back, mid and front lines have a good balance and also the chemistry they have managed to build is good and makes the teamwork between them even better.
The first target they have been dreaming of for a long time has succeeded in achieving this season, namely the Champions League title, and that will pave the way for them to achieve other successes like Sextuple for example. Provided they can maintain something they've shown in the last few seasons, I'm optimistic they will be able to deliver on that.

Nice move by Pep Guardiola, with this friendly match he can get closer to the playing style of other clubs. Moreover, the club being faced is a club that has a pretty ideal squad. Arsenal have also learned many things and Arteta himself is now much more prepared for the challenges ahead. If Arteta is able to measure and evaluate his players, then I'm sure that Arsenal can have much better potential than last season.

Chelsea is selling players to make sure the roster is flawless for the upcoming season, but my advise to Chelsea is to check everything out thoroughly to avoid making any mistakes by selling a player they'll later regret.

Actually I don't doubt Chelsea finances, but what many people doubt is behind the management of the team. Like Todd Boehly decision, who didn't really understand what Chelsea needed. Now in transition, it is not easy to achieve full repair. Selling several players and the proceeds are used to buy new players but does this show that Chelsea can guarantee next season's performance will be much better?

With the look of things these two clubs are the only club that are very serious in the transfer market, it's obvious they will still dominate the league this season again. Arsenal has learnt their lessons, I'm sue they will give Manchester city a tougher race for the title next season. Manchester united, Chelsea and Liverpool are not serious to compete for the league title. pep Guardiola will win both community shield and the super club, its their turn to shine.

Pep Guardiola,really wants to add more force to his already built team, have not seen any club they will defeat Manchester city this season, their rivalry Manchester united are not serious to compete with Manchester city.

The remaining players are the players the coach wants regardless of whether these players still have potential or not, if you look at the players currently owned by Chelsea, almost all of them are good but that doesn't mean they fit the coach's criteria.
There are a lot of things that must be fixed in the Chelsea team after they slumped last season but what must be remembered is that it is a big risk when rotating many players and if it doesn't match expectations it will be increasingly difficult for the Chelsea team to be able to develop again, but whether they want it or not have to do it for next season to be even better.

Ahead of his inauguration as the new coach, Chelsea and Pochettino have predicted the initial steps they will take. One of the most important is to rearrange or carry out a complete overhaul of the Blues squad and then sell players first who are deemed unable to develop and this will help Chelsea a little to at least not lose too much with everything that has been done because we all knew that Todd had wasted too much money but he couldn't get the most out of it for the team's progress. I think with Pochettino's presence I see that he is more serious in coaching Chelsea than previous coaches and I believe with Pochettino's arrival Chelsea will surely rise soon.

This season Manchester City won the Champions League title along with the Premier League title we have to remember that Manchester City are many favorites to win the Premier League title next season as well. Because so far there has been no change in Manchester City. If Manchester City can keep this unchanged squad next season, they will be one of the favorites in the Premier League tournament, including the Champions League. The 2022–23 season will be memorable for Manchester City as they won the Champions League trophy for the first time this season. Even if the next season is good, they may remember the 22-23 season for a long time.

Your question seems easy to answer because the squad depth that Manchester City currently has is not in doubt. Of course there are times when the favorite team fails in the final for one reason or another, but in most cases the favorite team can be expected to have a higher chance than their opponent.

In my opinion, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have the potential to win all the titles available and prove that he and his team deserve to be called the best team of the season. Manchester City are too difficult to stop because of their consistent form, but I also know this form can change due to many factors. I'm sure Pep Guardiola can win the title, but other teams want it too.

I love the job Mikel Arteta is doing with the team, since his arrival he has changed the team’s mentality and impacted a new system that has shown to be good and productive and efficient. Three seasons ago we wouldn’t have imagined Arsenal will cough out a whopping £106 million for a single player, this just shows how much influence he commands at the club at the moment. It is unfortunate their quest for the league trophy was unsuccessful last season but they did their considering the quality of players Manchester City has at their disposal. Arsenal are looking to try again next season with Arteta making good additions to the squad.

He has brought about some good change in the club. It's really unfortunate that they couldn't finish first place after holding onto the position for a while and they had also looked good for the trophy. This new season would be really competitive but I believe Arteta is trying to put in place some new and improved tactics and players that would weather the storm.

Of course he would have some level of influence in the club; he had a very good run in the just concluded season and he would be pretty much given what he needs in order to perform even better.
It would be interesting seeing Arsenal in the champions league. It's hard to predict their fate at the moment but it would surely be an excitingly season.

Arsenal are looking at a bright future with Arteta, the game scheme and tactics used by Arteta have made the quality of Arsenal game much improved. Last season ended in disappointment for Arsenal, after managing to top the table for a long time, they failed to win the EPL title at the end of the season.
In an effort to prevent the same mistakes from happening again next season, Arsenal has allocated large funds to bring in quality players in the transfer market. Arteta is trying to shape Arsenal into a stronger team, they are also trying to bring in Declan Rice so they can survive in the Champions League.

The unfortunate loss of the title trophy by Arsenal towards the end of last season calls for strengthening of the squad this season, though the club had so far spent huge funds on signing of two quality players which is a welcome development though a bit expensive I hope those signings will improve team next season because most of the other EPL clubs are also strengthening their squad too, meanwhile I commend Arteta for improving the team especially last season even when the team wasn't given any chances of clinching top 4 spot yet against all odds rose and up their game unfortunately and narrowly lost the title Man City, I hope that the team will perform better next season.

So far for the blues, they've successfully let go of players that should leave, though, Kovacic I didn't see leaving, Kai Harvertz likewise, bit I'm not sad over the push out of Koulibaly, Loftus Cheek, Ziyech, as for Ngolo Kante and Mason Mount they do deserve to extend contracts with the club, but Pochetino does have his own plans. Hopefully selling all these players doesn't backfires.

More players are still likely to leave the club, Azpiliueta is another, But they honestly need to consider the purchase of Victor Oshime from Napoli. They need goals c'mon.

Yes, it's true, at least Pochettino also has good abilities and it seems that there is no need to doubt his skills in building a team. After all, if they can still maximize the potential of the players they have, then surely Chelsea will no longer need to spend as much money as the previous season to build a team. So yes, with the election of Pochettino as Chelsea head coach, maybe that can also reduce or minimize Chelsea's budget expenses. Of course, it will be very interesting how it will turn out, because not making many purchases will at least be a gamble for Chelsea's performance next season.

Picking players is very important for every club and yes I think Chelsea need to look at old players who are in the same position to let go in case those same positions have more players. But apart from that, Chelsea itself also needs to bring in several new players to be placed on several lines so that Chelsea can return to having strength like other teams in the Premier League. Because next season Chelsea fans are eagerly expecting more significant changes at the club.

[lizarder]

Instead of accepting the offer of a new contract which would allow De Gea to accept a lower salary, I think it would be better for him to leave Manchester United for a team that knows how to value his qualities better. De Gea is the best goalkeeper ever, but I know he also declines with age.

I think there are a lot of teams who want to have him as the main goalkeeper instead of staying at Manchester United for the next few seasons. But all of this depends on Ten Hag whether he wants to sell his current main keeper or even wants to keep him until next season. For me De Gea deserves to leave Manchester United and try challenges in other leagues such as Ligue 1, Serie A or maybe also the Arab Pro League.

There are rumors circulating that Dea Gea has accepted a contract extension offer from Man United with an option to reduce his salary, but these rumors have not been confirmed or may not be true. Erik Ten Hak wants a goalkeeper who is able to play sweeper-keeper in the penalty box area, while De Gea is not strong enough to play short passes like this, so the coach plans to find a partner who can play as he wants. Erik Ten Hak also often tries different formations in every match and he tends to have an attacking strategy of short balls from the bottom.

These weaknesses do not make Dea Gea's appearance lack other strengths and everyone will agree that De Gea's reflexes in catching or brushing off the ball are extraordinary. If finally Dea Gea has to leave then Man United has lost the best goalkeeper who has collected more matches than any other player currently available.

Of course, it will be very interesting how it will turn out, because not making many purchases will at least be a gamble for Chelsea's performance next season.

IMO in this case I think as long as there is no proof then indeed we cannot give any reference to Pochettino.
We know that at first when talking about Potter, also with a series of slick performances at Brighton, many people gave Potter a lot of hope when replacing Tuchel, but this created expectations that were too high which made them have to be willing to fall quite hard.
At the moment Pochettino does see from experience that he is quite familiar with how the Premier League is run and of course even though he only won domestic titles at PSG this is also an achievement for him but in other matters of course we also have to reflect on what was before. The hope is that he can improve Chelsea's performance which has been destroyed this season but of course a heavy burden will also be carried and hopefully he can give his best according to the expectations given at this time.

[youdacapt]

"No Team can dominate the Premier league and win back to back league titles" has now become a statement of the past after Pep just sealed a third straight title!,

This is misinformation and may suggest that you are not vast with English premier league history; why do i say this?
Manchester United remains

• the first English club sides to have won the treble multiple times,
• the first English club side to win the league 3 consecutive seasons in a row; 2 times and also won 6 leagues out of 7 seasons consecutively.

You can praise pep ofcourse, without downplaying history lol.

Since his arrival Mikel Arteta has had an unmistakable effect on Arsenal. He has successfully changed the team mentality and put in place a successful and efficient structure. Arsenal has made great strides under his leadership as evidenced by their readiness to spend an astounding £106 million on a single player a situation that was unthinkable just three seasons ago. This exemplifies Arteta enormous power at GBA the club right now. Despite the fact that Manchester City chase of the league trophy was unsuccessful last season it is important to recognise the outstanding quality they hold. Despite this arteta is making wise additions  to the team to make it stronger as Arsenal remains committed and focused. As they work to once again fight for the Top spot the forthcoming season holds exciting promises.

Arteta's style, not much different from Pep Guardiola. Both of these coaches carry an offensive football system. in fact, it could be said that Arteta learned a lot from Pep Guardiola before he became a coach. I hope that in the next season Arteta will learn a lot about why his team failed to win a trophy. also, he should also review his performance this season with the Gunners. thus, Arteta can evaluate every decision he makes to bring the Gunners even better.

In the last season, Arsenal was very close to the trophy. unfortunately, one thing or another was a factor in their failure to maintain the top of the standings until finally Manchester City took back the top of the standings. now, Arteta is in the project of deepening the depth of his squad by bringing in several newcomers. though, there are player purchases that are a big question. but apparently, Arteta is more confident to face next season with his team to play matches in various competitions. and I hope Arsenal will continue to show a good game in every game even though most of them are filled by a young squad.
Next season, we will see how Arteta brings his squad, especially when playing matches in the Champions League.

[Avirunes]

True. Arsenal have been negotiating with West Ham for Rice since November of last year.

Was it? I actually don't recall him being in the shortlist but surely Rice would have been a name discussed at least back then.

It's hope that Arteta, will get his man through a record-transfer deal.

It's a done deal. Verbal agreement between the clubs West Ham and Arsenal for the amount. It's just that way of payments is being discussed right now.

However, it's important to consider whether spending such a large sum of money guarantees that the player will meet expectations. I just hope that Rice doesn't disappoint due to the enormous amount involved. Arsenal is patiently waiting him join in the midfield alongside Martin Ødegaard and Thomas Partey.

Spending such huge amount on player means a lot of expectations from the player. A manager might ensure that he can take time and adjust but fans are always impatient and with series of bad performance tend to ask questions about the player and his huge transfer. The thing is that it makes the player in spotlight and which is both good and bad. He will be joining Jorginho as Partey is also reported to leave Arsenal this transfer window ^[1] .

While I may not agree the idea of Xhaka leaving, but eventually he is on his way out just to make room for Rice. We'll see how quickly Arteta can transform this vision into reality.

I also didn't liked the news about Xhaka leaving but we can't hold a player for long. Maybe he wants to go for a new challenge, so we just have to accept and thank him for his contribution for his long stint at Arsenal.
