Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Yogee]

The problems faced by chelsea have not finished yet. Chelsea is still having so many players that need to be sold to the another club. These players are

1. Lukaku
2. Ziyech
3. Pulisic
4. Aubameyang
5. Chalobach
6. Odoi
7. Sarr
8. Baba
9. Gallagher

It's better if Chelsea prioritize selling the veterans aged 30 and above but they should still be fine for next season since they already brought in a lot of young players. It seems Pochettino prefers molding these new bloods than depending on the wisdom and experience of the "old". Their new team should be interesting to watch.

So far all I've heard is De Gea leaving. On loan Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst also returned to Munich and Burnley. Mason Mount's arrival might be an alternative option for Eriksen, Fred and Scott McTominay. It looks like Mount's arrival will be pushed ahead of Casemiro alongside Fernandes, Mc Tominay. In addition, maybe the injury factor makes Ten Hag Hag want to have a lot of creative midfielders.

It seems interesting to look forward to, whether David de Gea will still play next season even though he is playing at a different club. Because it looks like, until now David de Gea is still without a club and thus, I think a club that is willing to bring in David de Gea, maybe it will be the right choice. Indeed, David de Gea is already 32 years old, but that doesn't mean David de Gea is very weak, maybe playing for the next one to two seasons David de Gea can still play well too.

After the two parties were unable to agree on a new deal, De Gea officially became a free agent. De Gea's salary of 375 thousand pounds in a week was considered to be a burden on the club, Manchester United offered a lower salary than De Gea had previously received. A salary reduction of up to 50 percent made De Gea hesitate to sign a new contract with Manchester United.
Actually, the age of 32 does not really affect players who play as goalkeepers, at that age they are still considered normal compared to players who operate in the positions of defender, midfielder and striker. The latest news I read in one of the local media, Al-Nassr is reportedly interested in bringing De Gea, I'm not sure De Gea immediately accepted an offer from Al-Nassr unless no other club in Europe wants to use his services.

Obviously Liverpool would be more stronger, don't forget Klopp is one of the best manager, he had built many talented players when he was in Dortmund. Quite similar, he have built many talented players in Liverpool too, but the problem is Liverpool don't have a lot players. They're very strong when the starting eleven playing, but when one or two players injured, the substitute players don't have a same level like their teammates and Liverpool performance would declining.

Liverpool finished the season with a lot of problems in the midfield area last year. This season, with the signings of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, they have proven their willingness to solve this problem. I think Klopp will have a better squad this season and he will have no problems with rotation. Klopp is an important chance for Liverpool. They cannot easily give up on him. I think Klop will stay at Liverpool for a few more seasons. Also, I am sure that if he leaves Liverpool, he will be the number one managerial candidate for the Germany national team.

Since Liverpool could not play well in the previous season, they are trying to strengthen their team. Liverpool management is not skimping on player purchases this season. Perhaps they want to win the Premier League title at any cost. Because of this they are ready to spend more money. Liverpool have already strengthened their midfield. Now they want to strengthen their attack. Liverpool are interested in signing Mbappe. Liverpool will be more stable if Mbappe joins Liverpool.

You may have many good players in the team, but you cannot be successful if you do not have a coach to play them well. The coach has a big part in the success of Aston Villa. The players also had a good season. I think they could have finished the league in a higher ranking. I think they will continue this success in the next season as well.

The team could be better if the Torres transfer happens. Although their financial strength is not very good, they can become a better team with a few transfers.

I agree that they were better than Tottenham last season but Tottenham continues their success and game every season. Aston Villa should show its success in this way every season.

Aston Villa recent season steady play which saw them finish in seventh position and qualify for the European Conference League demonstrated their potential as a dangerous group. It is realistic to anticipate that manager Unai Emery would try to strengthen the team for the upcoming season despite the fact that their transfer activity has been relatively quiet thus far with only the signing of Youri Tielemans on a free transfer. Ferran Torres is one player they have their eyes on since he has the potential to greatly improve their attacking capabilities. Especially noteworthy is that Torres seems to be unnecessary in Xavi Barcelona plans giving Aston Villa a promising chance to get him. Newcastle who are also interested in signing the gifted forward might present a challenge. It will be interesting to see which club prevails in the competition for this much desired striker.

An achievement that deserves appreciation, Aston Villa can finish above Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. The hard work of Unay Emery and the players produced great results last season. As a team that incidentally fills the mid-table, finishing in seventh place is a good achievement, let alone defeating two teams of the caliber of Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

after successfully getting the signature of Youri Tielemans from Liecester, I think it looks like Aston Villa still need to add a few players to strengthen their squad next season, as you said they will compete in the UEFA Europa Conference League, Ferran Torres and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain are two other names being linked with Aston Villa. If successful it could be a good signing, as a form of their seriousness in the title race next season.

It
Despite being actively being on the selling side of the transfer window, one would think they have already sold most of their players but I'm surprised there's plenty more that might be shown the door. It's obvious that in the past, Chelsea signed players they didn't need. I already forgot Lukaku is a Chelsea player since 2021.

- Pulisic was one of my fav Chelsea players, destroyed Liverpool's defense on multiple occasions haha.

- Odoi had prospects. I don't know what happened. He just fell off the pecking order. Too bad.

I agree Pochettino has a tough job ahead. Whatever decisions he makes now would be pivotal to how the season plays out for him and this Chelsea side.

Baba Rahman's contract has been terminated, and he is set to join POEK. It has been reported that Chelsea received a transfer fee for the sale. It would be unfair to say that all the players bought are unnecessary; some serve as backups and can be beneficial for the club's business. However, Hudson-Odoi's progress seems to have stagnated, and he has not displayed any signs of intelligence on the field. This lack of development could disappoint any coach who had high expectations for him.

Not many people pin high hopes on Aston Villa in the title race, even if they have a good history in some competitions.
We knew that Aston Villa were a team that could challenge anyone in the Premier League, but they could never really prove that their team was any better and could be on course for the title.

So even if they sign some good players to strengthen the quality of their team next season, I don't expect much from Aston Villa. So far I only consider teams like Aston Villa, West Ham and a few others to be teams that have good business criteria by producing a lot of talented players. They are getting huge returns with that business, evident when some of their players are being eyed by other top Premier League sides.

Next season won’t really be a easy season For any club, every clubs are trying to improve their squad, no club should be under estimated next season, Arsenal not having much experienced players in their substitution really affected them last season, but they are already trying to correct their mistake which will improve their performance next season.

Yes, of course, and there's no excuse for some clubs to make mistakes or miss opportunities. I hope Guardiola improves his team's performance because after all we know that several other clubs including Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United are not going to give Manchester City any space to win every game. Next season's Premier League will show the results of the maneuvers carried out by several clubs and about who is stronger. Of the several clubs that have competed in the Premier League last season, indeed everyone will see the condition of Arsenal who have failed to maintain their position due to a lack of balance on the field. Hopefully Arteta will make improvements to his reserve players so they don't swallow another bitter pill like next season.

Guardiola has turned Manchester City into one of the best teams in the Premier League and Europe this season.  Manchester City have had a fantastic season, winning the Premier League title and the Champions League title at the end.  

After finishing a good season, Manchester City is preparing well for the upcoming season. Guardiola has already made the plans that the team needs to have in order for them to maintain this consistency. Guardiola knows that teams like Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle could be tough opponents for them next season. Manchester City will definitely want to win against these teams. Because there is no option to beat these teams in Premier League matches to maintain this consistency.
We may see Manchester City as one of the best teams next season.

Actually Liverpool in the previous season for me wasn't too bad because if you look at the standings Liverpool are still in the top 5 and that's not something bad.
If Liverpool really want to get mbappe it's not a money saving but Liverpool will only get 1 striker player but can't get other players because Liverpool's money will run out to get mbappe.
But I think it's unlikely that Liverpool will be able to get Mbappe because many clubs have offered large sums but have been turned down.
Unless mbappe himself does decide to join Liverpool it looks like it will be a very interesting season because Liverpool will be very strong.

It seems Pochettino prefers molding these new bloods than depending on the wisdom and experience of the "old". Their new team should be interesting to watch.

Chelsea already sold some players which am sure Pochettino made the perfect decision by selling those players, it’s of no use keeping all those players, they have no any impact on the club’s performance, the club is just getting worst, chelsea is just wasting money on them, I really commend Pochettino for making the decision which he made to clean Chelsea squad, and he is making good decisions by signing new players, am sure the player’s which he sign will help Chelsea performance, but Chelsea management have to give Pochettino to stabilize with the new players, they shouldn’t be in rush, things might not really be easy for the coach at the beginning of the season, so he should be given enough time to adapt with the club and the new players joining.

The Premier League is the toughest competition in the world and very dynamic. Manchester City, which is the defending champion three times in a row, will certainly face a real challenge again from several contestants who have prepared their squad more deeply. But of course Guardiola is not afraid of that, he will still respect every opponent.

But in my opinion Manchester City will dominate the Premier League again, how come Pep Guardiola has made a very solid foundation and difficult to overthrow. At the moment City's line-up is extraordinary and they also have a very strong mentality.

You're right, Pep built the team a few seasons ago now he can rule the league just like what Alex Ferguson did in the past unstoppable
In your opinion, which team is the most worthy to compete with Manchester City? Arsenal or Manchester United?
Or maybe Liverpool who eyeing some top strikers like Victor Osimhen, can not imagine if Liverpool managed to sign him.

Chelsea got money from selling Havertz, Mendy, Kovacic, Koulibaly, Loftus-Cheek, and they added Nkunku and Jackson to the team. Eventually they will continue selling other players like Lukaku, Mount... in order to restructure the team.
That move should be done to build a healthier team. Thus, we should be aware that with the current squad, fans shouldn't expect much from Chelsea other than trying to pick a Europa League or Conference League spot. If they want to fight for EPL or Champions League spot, they have to recruit more players and manage the team in a better way.

Pep Guardiola's role in making the Manchester City club reach the peak of its glory, we must admit that he is a very extraordinary coach. He is a coach who is competent in coaching the club and he is also competent in seeing the potential of every player recruited by the Club. If Man City loses Pep Guardiola. then I think Man City's glory could end abruptly. Because I think it was Pep Guardiola's role that could build this club into what it is now. Financial factors after changing ownership are certainly the initial triggers. but the choice to bring in pep guardiola as coach of Man City at that time was a step towards true success. Because many other wealthy clubs have not been as lucky as Man City, even though they have brought in great players.

That's why, Pep Guardiola is planting his legacy while still with the Manchester City squad. so when Guardiola leaves the Etihad, what Pep has implemented will be continued by the coach who replaced him. for example after the Arsene Wenger era, Arsenal still maintain what Wenger inherited before. although in the case of Arsenal, this team has struggled to return to its former glory. however, it is different from City. does not mean that if Pep leaves the Etihad, then City will lose its glory. after all, there are still plenty of great coaches out there. I'm pretty sure there are many top coaches willing to replace Pep Guardiola. besides, City can sign any coach with the finances they have. but, yes, Pep is an amazing coach. he has a wide range of tactics, and is good at turning his players into quality players.

By the way, now City is strengthening its squad by bringing in newcomers. As Romano reports, the director of RB Leipzig confirmed he has confirmed that Josko Gvadiol and his agent informed the club of the player's desire to move to Manchester City. as previously reported, City have agreed personal terms with Gvardiol. if this transfer materializes, he will become the most expensive defender ever brought into the Premier League. thus, City will be more solid in defense and ready to welcome the new season. even then, if the two clubs have an agreement. but at least, City will still be a team that is highly respected by opposing teams. either in the Premier League, or in the Champions League.

[ginsan]

It seems interesting to look forward to, whether David de Gea will still play next season even though he is playing at a different club. Because it looks like, until now David de Gea is still without a club and thus, I think a club that is willing to bring in David de Gea, maybe it will be the right choice. Indeed, David de Gea is already 32 years old, but that doesn't mean David de Gea is very weak, maybe playing for the next one to two seasons David de Gea can still play well too.

I don't think De Gea will be devoid of enthusiasts after his contract with Manchester ends. I think Al Nassr is one of the leading teams to get De Gea because he would be a great signing if Al Nassr can convince De Gea to accept their offer. I think De Gea will take advantage of this free time to go on vacation before he decides to accept the offers that come his way. Other than that I think the level of ability he has will make him the target of many European teams or outside Europe.

So far, it has been reported that Manchester United will make another approach to convince De Gea to return to the team. However, seeing the treatment that Manchester United management did to De Gea, I think their efforts to convince De Gea will be difficult to achieve.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United compete with Manchester City. But if you really pay attention to the tension of the match, then the match between Liverpool vs Manchester City is the most tense match in the Premier League. I didn't see that kind of tension in the Manchester derby but when Liverpool played Manchester City, then the prestige was involved.

For next season, I think the four teams mentioned above are the teams that have the chance to win the title instead of Manchester City. Nevertheless, Manchester City are the likely favorites to maintain their dominance in the Premier League, and a title is an ever-present possibility for them.

[Ahli38]

But talking about the goalkeeper of Manchester United. then I was reminded of De Gea whose contract is about to expire. And will be a free transfer status. And I really regret the attitude of Manchester United who offered a contract extension but with too big a salary cut. But I also can't blame Manchester United because the club's financial condition seems to be not doing well at the moment.

Yeah i knew that too. The only problem de gea has been making so many blunders. that can also become one of main reason why MU has been cutting his salary in the new contract. It's making de gea feel dissatisfied with it.
Let's see what Manchester United will do soon. MU needs GK and a new striker.

And in the end De Gea seems to have decided not to renew his contract at Manchester United. So that De Gea is currently a Free Agent. And well we know De Gea has been at Old Trafford since 2011. or since he was still in his 20s. he has been goalkeeper for Manchester United for 12 years.

And because of this now Manchester United is really experiencing a goalkeeper crisis. the club must find a replacement soon. Andre Onana is currently Manchester United's main target. But Inter Milan doesn't seem to want to let Onana go cheap. And Inter Milan are also in no rush to sell Onana. So it's only natural that Inter Milan will offer a high price if Manchester United wants to take him to Old Trafford.

These two sides as been a tough rivals in EPL in the last few years. Liverpool has not always been an easy side for Manchester city to defeat be it in the best n or in their worst season. The only side that were deficient both in the home and the away clash was Chelsea. I was surprised they were able to hold a tie against Liverpool   I suggest that was Salthur's good effort. This was a good impression,  and I was hoping to see more coming from him but then he was replaced by Frank Lampard. Chelsea played a nice football against Manchester city during Tuchels tutelage. their last season's clash was nothing to the right home about.

[laurenB7742]

I wouldn't say that Arsenal's squad was very strong last season. But the bond between Arsenal's players was strong. The understanding between the players was excellent. And so Arsenal's overall performance was very good. If Arsenal management is able to strengthen their squad next season, then I think they will fight for the title next season as well. Mikel Arteta is very experienced. He will surely try his best next season to keep Arsenal at the top of the points table.

Yes, overall last season's Arsenal players were not very strong, I agree with your opinion. Because it was very visible that several of their core players were injured, Arsenal lost their balance. But in terms of teamwork, trusting each other in the process and continuing to train hard and discipline I admit last season Arsenal were very strong in this section. And that's arteta with the advantages he has he is able to keep players who fit the scheme and develop young players by giving more opportunities to young players.
But I believe, with last season's self-confidence that continues to grow and now that Arsenal have brought in several new players, I'm sure Arsenal next season will be much stronger from all sides, including having strong players, of course they will also maintain a way of playing to keep enjoying the game every time. fighting, compact and fighting spirit to the end.

Arsenal's teamwork was good last season. The bonding between the players was excellent. But their main problem was that they lacked talented players in their squad. They became dependent on certain players. Also, their bench team was weak. And so after several players of the team suffered injuries, Arsenal lost its consistency in performance. And after losing continuity, they cannot return to the truck. And they had to lose the top spot in the table too.

If Arsenal add more talented players to their squad next season, their performance is likely to stabilize. Because coach Arteta is very experienced. He may once again help build a good bond between the players.

You're right there, of course that's why I say Liverpool as a team that was a tough competitor to Manchester City every season in the era of Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp. Of course Arsenal and Manchester United want to do the same, but Arteta and Ten Hag don't seem capable enough to provide tough competition for Manchester City.

Last season Arsenal was good, they led the standings in a few weeks, but Arsenal are not good enough to take advantage of opportunities, especially in the last few games towards the end of the season. Arteta doesn't want to continue to be disappointed in the same way, but as long as Pep Guardiola can keep Manchester City's form going, then Arsenal will struggle.
