Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Velvet78]

I don't see much impressive player being linked with Chelsea recently. I see only really young players being linked and it doesn't look like Chelsea have an aim to change the starting lineup much with new transfers for now. Actually Laporte and Dybala have also been rumoured players to join Chelsea.

But as I can see Dybala transfer is not happening as he wants to stay at Roma. Laporte still has 2 more years on his contract. However he couldn't play much in the previous season. We watched him in the Premier League in only 12 games. His market value is also only 25 million euros. Chelsea might be likely to sign him by not spending too much money I think if they push for him.

Arsenal first pre season match result didn't run well because they only can able to playing draw against the team from Germany second division Nürnberg and yesterday Arsenal was playing with some of their main players such as William Saliba, Gabriel, Thomas Partey and their main goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and during the match i can see Arsenal were very dominate but they had a hard time breaking down Nürnberg defense because since the beginning of match Nürnberg has displayed solid defense which make Arsenal players looks frustrate and they even several times to wasted the opportunity to scores goal and Arteta has been confirmed that he hasn't satisfied to see Arsenal performance because he thought Arsenal should be able to win the match and he will be evaluate this result

The thing that i don't understand is why arteta puts havertz as winger. It has proven that if havertz can do nothing as a winger. He was not even able to make a good crossing. A bit surprised to see the result was drawn while arsenal had so many chances to make as many goals as possible. I doubt if arsenal gonna be a strong candidate to compete with manchester city next season. I would like to call that arsenal is far from being called as a reliable opponent for city. There shall be so many improvements. The new players that bought by arsenal didn't give significant contribution to the club. I give 3/10 for havert's performance against numberg. Arteta is now facing another problem to give havertz its best position again. Arteta shall change his position into the attacking midfielder for upcoming pre match. So many people are mocking havert'z performance. That's pretty much the same situation that being faced by once jorginho started his debut in arsenal.

Have anyone watch the friendly match between Arsenal vs Nurnberg yesterday?

Kai Havertz was playing in left winger position, it looks like he will not replace Odegaard position in attacking midfielder. If Arteta really want Havertz to play in left winger position, he would become a substitute player since Martinelli is solid in that position, same like Bukayo Saka who's solid in right winger position.

Arsenal shared points with FC Nürnberg in their first pre-season game. It was a tough one to decide the winner, with Mikel Arteta's men pulling the big fight for victory, they were upheld in the second half to secured a draw. The gunners dominated the game full time with crucial numerous counter attacks on the pitch, I believed it was not their lucky day. Kai Havertz made his debut for Arsenal, although he failed to record a goal or an assists. Mikel Arteta will sort out the playing position of Kai Havertz, either as a starter or backup player.

My point is, we don’t know what Arteta is cooking. The coach knows what he is cooking. Let him cook. Havertz's appearance came in the second-half and it was evident that Arteta has no plans to use Havertz as a striker, instead deploying the midfielder in support of Gabriel Jesus.
Havertz linked up well with his fellow midfielders, at times being given permission to drift into wide areas but on the whole staying central and acting as one of the main creators. He will need time to adjust to new surroundings and Arteta will give him that.

this is the reason I say I'm not sure about Arsenal's performance in the summer. we'll see for ourselves how Arsenal compete with a team that is much easier to beat but only ended in a draw in the pre-season match yesterday. supposedly with this pre-season match Arteta already has thoughts on how to strengthen his attacking line again because in the next match Arsenal will compete with Man United and if Arsenal will end up drawing again or losing this will be very embarrassing and I'm sure in the summer of the premier league there is no hope for Arsenal.
I'm not saying Arsenal is too bad, it's just that mistakes in managing the strategy consistently are ignored.

Liverpool still have no striker signing on their agenda currently. However Firmino's absence must push them to look for a replacement. They can't move on to the next season with only one striker in the end. Nunez's possible injury can cause us to see Gakpo as a centre-forward again. This wouldn't be much ideal for Liverpool at all. If they don't want to spend so much money on a striker than they can look for a loan option or a favorable low-cost striker as a subtitute of Nunez. Nunez will also need to make some good improvement this season to prove his skills to Liverpool as well.

The attacking line could be jeopardized this summer as a result of Robert Firmino's departure from Anfield; his absence could have the same impact as Sadio Mané's departure, which is a risk Jurgen Klopp is unwilling to take, the reds try their best without their crucial players. All I know is that Jurgen Klopp has everything under control, which is never an easy step to follow. Liverpool will once again stand strong since the coach has signed and solved their primary problem, which is the midfield, by bringing three new midfielders to the squad, proving that they're ready for anything.

Indeed after Sadio Mane left Liverpool, the quality of their play deteriorated noticeably..... Although towards the end of the season they were able to achieve some good results... Let's hope that the new players can add some good moments next season and Liverpool will start playing well from the beginning....

Manchester City tried last season, they performed well and am sure they are still going to perform well in the coming season. I haven’t seen any significant changes in Manchester City squad yet, just slight changes in their squad and am sure it’s not really going to affect them next season, It was just like a magic to me how Manchester City overtakes Arsenal last season, Manchester City is a dangerous club we all should be scared off, I know they Will perform even better than last season, but let’s just wait for the season to start and see their performance.

Indeed, Manchester City did not make many changes because they already had the ideal squad plus a second tier squad that both had the same individual skills. Therefore, Manchester City can still maintain its performance and can even provide a bigger boost next season. Currently, the Manchester City club cannot be stopped and is the only club that threatens any club when they want to conquer them. Pep Guardiola is full of ideas which makes it difficult for other clubs to crack the strategy he employs when on the pitch.

However, all of that did not make Manchester City satisfied with last season's achievements. If you look at next season's targets, they will not waste every competition. Maximizing opportunities when other clubs are in a transition process. So that the steady momentum of Manchester City's game will be a benchmark that the club that is the most prepared so far is only Manchester City.

Mount made a good start to Manchester United after joining on 5 July.
He has a contract of up to 5 years with The Red Devils, the English giant.
Hopefully he can continue to play well in the future and can bring Manchester United closer to the 2023/24 Premier League championship trophy.
Manchester United have lost quite a number of their mainstay players from time to time and now is the time for Ten Hag to be to restore the strength of Manchester United.

The Manchester United debut of Mount was nothing short of amazing. His easy showing of his remarkable recovery abilities and presence on the pitch demonstrated his seamless inclusion into the team. His football savvy was evident in his ability to locate open areas and position himself wisely to receive passes. His flexibility as a player was demonstrated by the fact that he not only supported the defence but also helped the team attack. Emerging stars like Emeran and Fish also performed well and offered depth to the team performance in addition to Mount who sparkled in particular. Manchester united is experiencing a resurgence of hope as a result of these talented young player making their mark and the expectation of an excellent season is tangible.

Mount does have quite good playing skills and he even managed to find loopholes to be able to take advantage of the game situation.
This could be a great start for Manchester United as they have added players that Ten Hag can really rely on and it looks like later when all the Leagues start Manchester United can play better.
The clubs they have to face very seriously are Arsenal and Manchester City so it is hoped that Tan Heg can bring Manchester United to have strength when playing against these two teams which have been the strongest by holding first and second positions last season.

Manchester city has paid the price long time ago, they over spent in building this team, even if they don't buy any players, they have enough bench to use, they are not lacking players. and they don't need to buy much as if they are building team. Pep has to fill in space of the players that are due to leave the club or the ones they  have sold out.

they have made English football entertaining, and feared by others. they are now the only giant of England. next season, they want to retain the Champions league and i see no club to stop them.

The only thing that has changed is that the Captain, Gundogan, is gone. He is a multi-talented midfielder. because as a midfielder he is also capable of being a goal-scoring machine like an attacker. in the season that will soon start Man City will play without him. But yeah, Man City so far has core players and reserves who are equally qualified. So losing Gundogan would mean nothing to the club.

It's just that this season will definitely feel hotter than last season. there will be many surprises. like last season, we were surprised by Arsenal's superiority, which continued to stand at the top of the standings for quite a long time. We don't know for this season which team will be like Arsenal last season.

Have anyone watch the friendly match between Arsenal vs Nurnberg yesterday?

Kai Havertz was playing in left winger position, it looks like he will not replace Odegaard position in attacking midfielder. If Arteta really want Havertz to play in left winger position, he would become a substitute player since Martinelli is solid in that position, same like Bukayo Saka who's solid in right winger position.

I didn't watch this pre-season game and it looks like a draw isn't entirely good for a team like Arsenal either. About Kai Havertz's game, I only saw highlights of his circulating on social media and indeed he played quite badly in this match. But I think Havertz is very natural to play like that because he also came as a substitute for Reiss Nelson who plays as LWF. On the other hand, Havertz and the other players who entered the field can be said to be second-tier players, so if you want to see good performance from Havertz, of course that's not the right benchmark.

Arteta seems to be trying to find a combination of games in preparation for this season. friendly matches like that are suitable for Arteta to try several game combinations, especially for their new players.
Arsenal will also face MU in a friendly match. I think Arteta will use more serious tactics and strategies when facing MU. Both Arteta and Ten Hag got some new players which I feel they will prepare for next season as well. they will try a lot.

To be honest, I didn't watch this friendly match. So, I'm just referring to data and statistics.  in fact, Arteta is exploring various options and experimenting with the current squad. as for Kai Havertz, he came on in the 46th minute to replace Reiss Nelson. previously, Trossard had always filled the position. but in yesterday's match, there were several experiments carried out by Artata and Trossard who were played in the midfield position.

IMO, Ateta is doing an experiment. plus, maintaining the fitness of the players. Also in this match, Partey played a duet with Fabio Vierira. while we know, that Fabio Vierira was a very inconsistent player last season. Likewise with the defensive position, Arteta tried to rotate Kiwior. So, this match will not determine the actual player's role, it's just that some players will continue to play their original position.
For Havertz he didn't play badly, in his first friendly. it's just that, I'm sure he won't fill the left wing position. because after all, Arsenal have Martenili and Trossard. it could be, Arteta is currently measuring the players especially those they will put on the sale list. by the way, this is just my point of view.

There are so many people posted the highlight from the last match in twitter. You will be able to find so many short clubs about the match against numberg. Havertz has been performing so badly against numberg. Even some peole were also making havertz's statistic during the match against numberg.
Along with the excitement surrounding the transfer, there were also gunners who expressed their disappointment with the result. Havertz's main position must be playing behind striker. His real position was on the attacking midfielder.
I rarely saw him played as winger in chelsea.

But yeah, Man City so far has core players and reserves who are equally qualified. So losing Gundogan would mean nothing to the club.

Previously Guardiola was eager to keep his squad captaincy but there seemed to be nothing more for him to gain with Manchester City. With the Treble Winner already achieved, perhaps that has been the reason Gundogan left to seek new experiences. He has got it all with Manchester City. Now Barcelona is an option for his future career. On the other hand, Gundogan's departure will shake Manchester City's game, this concern is felt by Guardiola because after all they will face the Premier League next season. Meanwhile, it is reported that Guardiola has now found another alternative capable of replacing Gundogan's position, namely Kovacic who is considered to be able to fill the void following Gundogan's departure from Manchester City and is considered suitable for this position. Kovacic has been on Chelsea's drop list and Manchester City will look to maximize this opportunity to get him

It's just that this season will definitely feel hotter than last season. there will be many surprises. like last season, we were surprised by Arsenal's superiority, which continued to stand at the top of the standings for quite a long time. We don't know for this season which team will be like Arsenal last season.

It is clear that this season will be very prestigious compared to last season, several clubs, especially those that have competed in the top five standings last season, are currently making improvements and carrying out several massive maneuvers for next season's competition. It seems that I will only focus on Arsenal this season, I am very curious about what they will show this season, because it is clear that Arteta will not let this season's trophy fall into the hands of Manchester City again.

Indeed after Sadio Mane left Liverpool, the quality of their play deteriorated noticeably..... Although towards the end of the season they were able to achieve some good results... Let's hope that the new players can add some good moments next season and Liverpool will start playing well from the beginning....

After Mane left, Liverpool immediately brought in Nunez, who was safe at that time. At that time, Nunez was said to be a match for Haaland in the Premier League, but at the start of his appearance, Nunez was in a messy state and had not been able to adapt properly. This also made Liverpool drop drastically in the standings. Towards the end of the season, Nunez and Gakpo began to make some changes and can understand Jurgen Klopp's desire to be able to improve his performance little by little. Although in the end only able to finish in the top 5 rankings. Next season there should be no more reasons for Liverpool to perform badly because in my opinion this long holiday is enough to show maximum results.

Manchester city has paid the price long time ago, they over spent in building this team, even if they don't buy any players, they have enough bench to use, they are not lacking players. and they don't need to buy much as if they are building team. Pep has to fill in space of the players that are due to leave the club or the ones they  have sold out.

they have made English football entertaining, and feared by others. they are now the only giant of England. next season, they want to retain the Champions league and i see no club to stop them.

Manchester City already has depth and I don't see Pep having problems as a result of a couple of players leaving the club. Although, they have lost a top quality player like Gundogan to Barcelona, Kyle Walker is reported to be at the verge of joining Bayern Munich anytime soon, and Mahrez is also linked to a Saudi Arabian club side, but the team is still solid. Pep has done well to re-reforce his team by acquiring Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea, and working on deal to bring in Benjamin Pavard From Bayern as Kyle Walker's replacement and Josko Gvardiol from Leipzig.

Man City will have no trouble even though several of their players have left Kub in this transfer market. Pep Guardiola knows his squad very well and he can't hold back players who no longer want to wear City shirts for next season, on the other hand we can see that their back-up players also have the same qualities as the main squad.

Mateo Kovacic became a replacement for Ikay Gundogan who went to Barcelona, Pep really knows the quality of a Kovacic so he wants the services of a player from Croatia. Statistically Kovacic is the player who has won the Champions League the most, namely four times, his mentality and experience I think made Pep interested in recruiting him.

Arsenal first pre season match result didn't run well because they only can able to playing draw against the team from Germany second division Nürnberg and yesterday Arsenal was playing with some of their main players such as William Saliba, Gabriel, Thomas Partey and their main goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and during the match i can see Arsenal were very dominate but they had a hard time breaking down Nürnberg defense because since the beginning of match Nürnberg has displayed solid defense which make Arsenal players looks frustrate and they even several times to wasted the opportunity to scores goal and Arteta has been confirmed that he hasn't satisfied to see Arsenal performance because he thought Arsenal should be able to win the match and he will be evaluate this result

So many people are mocking havert'z performance. That's pretty much the same situation that being faced by once jorginho started his debut in arsenal.

Indeed this result is very dissappoint because on the paper Arsenal should be able to win from Nürnberg even with big scores and about Kai Havertz actually he can be played to different positions and while playing with Chelsea he has several times to played as attacking midfielder, striker even when Lampard train this team he was often to playing as a winger but indeed Havertz has been confirmed that his favourite position is when the manager playing him as playmaker

Actually when he still playing at Leverkusen at that time he can able to performing well as a winger and he was very productive so maybe that's why Arteta has attempts to played him on winger position because probably he can be suitable on that position but Arteta was still experimenting and everything is still possible to change so lets see for next match against MLS All-Stars on Thursday whether Arteta will change his position or not

[Jody.Drummer]

Have anyone watch the friendly match between Arsenal vs Nurnberg yesterday?

Kai Havertz was playing in left winger position, it looks like he will not replace Odegaard position in attacking midfielder. If Arteta really want Havertz to play in left winger position, he would become a substitute player since Martinelli is solid in that position, same like Bukayo Saka who's solid in right winger position.

Actually for now, one match to confirm things like positions for Havertz and some other players I think is impossible, because it is likely that for the next match Arteta will try a new placement for Havertz and this is a start.
He's still playing quite well with some of the real money players still needing time to play.
Odegaard was the only one who didn't play and I still haven't found Rice's name for Arsenal on the pitch or on the bench this time.

The 1-1 result was good enough for their first game in a friendly with Arteta's schemes and attempts.

@Jody.Drummer totally agree with you because during preseason managers tend to try out new positions and strategies but during the season they don’t use them unless they want to drastically try something new to stun an opponent. @Plaguedeath for the fee they have brought him he’s definitely not going to be a substitute player and he’ll definitely be in the starting 11 when the season starts.

It's like that, we also don't rush to conclude the position or game of the player in one match, especially it's a pre-season match which is certain that there will be many scenarios that will be applied by the coach. There are times when everything goes as expected in pre-season, but not in real matches.
Trying several positions will definitely be done, because it is a necessity that the coach must ensure that the player will be truly ready for the competition.
There is still work to be done that needs to be given a nice touch by the coach.

Manchester city has paid the price long time ago, they over spent in building this team, even if they don't buy any players, they have enough bench to use, they are not lacking players. and they don't need to buy much as if they are building team.

Guardiola has a qualified squad, and the quality between substitutes and main players is not much different, even in certain circumstances it is the second-tier players who can be the difference in their game. I agree, when he loses some players it is not a big problem for him, because there will also be players who will come to replace the popsisi, even if the players who come are not part of the main squad, their second players are evenly distributed.

[rendravolt]

Arsenal officially introduced their new signing, Jurrien Timber from Ajax, with a five-year contract. He plays as a centre-back and can also fill in at right-back on occasion. He is a talented young player who is very good for the depth of the Arsenal squad, especially now that Arsenal are updating their squad list to face next season's increasingly competitive competition. Mikel Arteta appears to be very happy with his new signing and it was unexpected that he is still on the hunt after signing Declan Rice from West Ham. The transfer fee for Jurrien Timber is reported to be 40 million euros plus 5 million euros in add-ons and I think that's a pretty normal fee for a player as good as him.
