Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[QueenVera]

Within the last ten minutes they've played against Arsenal during tonight's friendly, believe me, the attack doesn't pose any threat on the Arsenal defense. It also seems like the midfielder's are coordinated, they've used more of the wing's than that of the midfielder's.

Manchester United have been the better team and shown better signs of improvement than Arsenal. They have defended well and also been able to attack very well. Their defensive line with Shaw, Martinez, Verane, Bissaka is very composed, and even the second choice goalkeeper has also been very good and made some very important saves in the game. New players will play in the second half and we will see how the other Manchester United players will perform this season. There will be lots of competition for first team spot next season in Manchester United.

This match has shown the true strength of Manchester United in the next season. Even though this match was a friendly match, Manchester United's game was very united after a long holiday break after the season ended. I think this victory is the capital and motivation for the Manchester United team for next season. Yes, Onana hasn't played in this match yet because she wasn't included in this match because she just joined and needs time off to recover her energy after she's been through a series of activities in various ways.

Well, Arsenal seemed to have found a setback in their game because the Arsenal players failed to put good pressure on Manchester United in this match. I think Arteta should find a more precise strategy in growing their game, especially since Rice didn't contribute much in this match.

I'm not yet convinced with this match that manchester united would have a better performance than arsenal in the upcoming Premier league tournament because this is just a pre-season match where coaches use in checking the abilities of new signs, carry out trials of different strategies, boost fitness level of their, and prepare them for the next tournament, but I must say that I'm impressed with the performance of the manchester united team, I expected Arsenal to win match but it went the other way because they really played the manchester united way and if they continue with this energy and zeal for winning they could be very dangerous in the upcoming tournament and turn out to be the preferred title contenders.
 Arsenal has been very busy in the transfer window compared to manchester united who's signed only mount and recently concluded onanas deal whereas Arsenal have concluded signing of several players including the very talented play maker Declan Rice, so expectations of them winning was very high anyways it's just a pre-season match and i believe both teams would performance very well I the upcoming tournament

[Marykeller]

I will seriously want Arsenal to repeat their success and become a serious contender for title this season only if they are focused. It is not about chasing all the trophies and titles for the season. If Arsenal can pedal down their target to 1 trophy. Be it English Premier League title or the Emirates FA Cup, it will be very nice. They can even decide to drop out from The Champions League and target the Europa League just for them to be able to win title this season.

Arsenal can't just pedal down their target on one league title only. Whereby they have FA Cup, premier league, and champions league trophies to contest for. They will have to play in all three leagues they qualify for, like they do mean to lift the trophies.
When last did Arsenal win one of the leagues mentioned above? They should fight off for the three-league title like it's theirs. They shouldn't feel low on themselves to concentrate only on one because they miss the opportunity last season to win the premier league.
The champions league, premier league, and FA Cup titles are important to add to their name as the trophy lifts for the next season. Any league trophy they are capable of, let them lift it. They shouldn't focus on just one because if they do, it might not go as planned and they might miss the chance to lift another league trophy.

Friendly matches are not really important, especially at this period of the time when most of the teams are in training camps or they are still hiring players. I think the best we can do to know the performance of Manchester United is to wait for the first weeks and first games in the next season from Ten Hag and his players.

Once again, Gunners dominated the entire game but failing to match up the same energy during penalty shootouts. The game headed to penalties, with the red devils securing victory in penalty shootouts in which the gunners were not appropriately acknowledged; all of the laurels went to Erik's men. They maintain stationary and put in the necessary work to achieve these outstanding results; with these outcomes, I believe they are prepared to confront the new season, which begins in a few days. Erik Ten Hag had his machines properly prepared for the gunners, and it was one of the most difficult friendly tense games to watch this pre-season period.

[rendravolt]

A very exciting match took place between Chelsea and Brighton with a final score of 4-3 for the victory of Pochettino's troops. Even though this is a pre-season match, I'm still speechless with Chelsea's performance in this match, they don't look like last season, who were always careless and even always had trouble scoring goals. But in this match, we can see that Mudryk finally scored his first goal for Chelsea, even though it was only in a pre-season match. However, if we look at the footage of his goal, it is very clear that his passing duet with Nikolas Jackson made this goal great.

Chelsea actually had the upper hand with many goals, but Brighton also didn't want to be outdone by this landslide score and they managed to cut the difference in numbers. I'm still curious about whether Chelsea will be able to maintain its current performance or if this will only be temporary. We should look forward to the performance of Pochettino's squad in the EPL next season.

Arsenal are recruiting new players this season to be strong enough to be able to compete for all the competitions they qualified for,they have acquired the services of Karl Harvetz,Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber,three additions they believe it will make them become stronger next season,but one thing that their manager Arteta needs to do is to make them blend well while playing together,they should be able to know each other's leg the through constant training,and practicing.
Arteta is planng on using Declan Rice as his defensive midfielder next season, while Harvetz and Odagard plays infront of him,but I don't see that formation working perfectly well because Harvetz cannot be a replacement to Xhaka that just left,instead,it should be Declan Rice,Partey and Odegard in order to maintain control and possession,because that's what Partey is known for,when it comes to ball play and control,Partey is the man you should reckon upon.The partnership of Partey, Odegard,and Rice will be more solid and perfect than that if Harvetz,Rice and Odegard.The earlier Arteta starts working on that,the better for the team to move forward.And last night,Arsenal were beaten 2-0 in a club friendly between them and Man united,and it was Harvetz,Rice and Odegard that were in the midfield.So if Arsenal wants to play a solid and more possession football,they have to play Partey an Rice with Odegard instead if Harvetz.

I didn't watch this game just saw the stats overall Chelsea's game has not been satisfactory brighton is slightly more dominant but this is just a friendly match to try out the strategy and positions of the players so that each coach knows where the weaknesses of his team. Maybe focus on the Chelsea defense conceding a lot of goals imagine if their opponents were a strong team in the Premier League  , of course they couldn't be relied on. Pochettino still has time to fix it, change positions or bring in new players before the transfer window closes.

I think the best we can do to know the performance of Manchester United is to wait for the first weeks and first games in the next season from Ten Hag and his players.

It's important for the manager and we can start to analyze how good the team was. The fact that if so many clubs were also using the pre season to measure how good or bad the team is. Manchester united's performance was convincing me to think that if MU may able to perform even better compared with arsenal. Arsenal is always getting panic once it was facing fast counter attack. It has proven by how two goals being made caused by counter attack that came from manchester united.
Manchester united is ready to be the same as manchester city very soon. Arteta needs to think ever harder to strengthen its defensive line especially when it was facing fast counter attack. I doubt if arsenal will able to perform like last season.
MU has more chance to perform even better next season. I guess that if everything can happen in the future but my belief if MU will be waking up again to compete with manchester city. Chelsea was also getting good result.

[Uruhara]

Manchester United have not made any quality signings at the moment,but they are looking at some some possible options to improve their front line,because they don't really have an aggressive nine(9) that can score upto 29 goals in a season,and I believe they are looking towards improving that position in the team.Ten Hag have succeeded in making Rashfored sign a new contract at Manchester United,all he needs now is some quality signings that will improve the team.He has been looking at the possibility of signing Harry Kane,but it seems Kane is one the verge of joining  Bayern for a record fee that is believed to be in the region of 100 million Euros despite his age.United will really need to strengthen their squad in other to compete for a team like Arsenal and Necastle next season because if they don't,they will find themselves below top four.

Let's hope to see if Hen Tag is to make some new signings or he is contented with the way his current squad is,but I think he needs to stret his midfield again,and add like two more signings to his front line.

With so many quality players at Manchester United, in the coming season they should be ready to try to win in the Premier League next season, 100 million Euros is a lot of money, therefore Manchester United must have a good strategy to keep winning in the coming season.

Yes, after seeing several pre-season matches held by Man United. I feel that the squad built by Erik Ten Heg is strong enough, but I agree that Man United still needs additional players for the attack line. Because I still see that Man United's weakness since last season is in the accuracy of their attacks. There are always too many opportunities that they fail to take advantage of. For the back line and midfield I think it is quite balanced but for the attack line I think Rashford needs a friend there who can together become the spearhead in every attack that is built.

But Man United is still lucky because they have quite an aggressive attacking midfielder like Bruno Fernandes. This young Portuguese player I think always works hard to balance between midfield and attack. But because he was always working too hard, his stamina always decreased in the second half. And that's when Man United's weaknesses began to appear in the attack line.

Finally, I can see how most expensive players sign by Chelsea last season Mykhailo Mudryk can celebrate after scoring goals on pre season match. Its looks funny because need waiting until several months later to see with Mykhailo Mudryk scoring goals and make celebrate. unforgettable for Mykhailo Mudryk because he was long time not scoring goals yet for Chelsea although against Brighton Albion as pre season match its enough for him how to celebrate goals and prepare for next season.

I don't think have been final formation from Pochettino, its still pre season matches and Chelsea have three friendly matches and possibilities with many composition player change before preparing final squad in Primer League games.

I don't think have been final formation from Pochettino, its still pre season matches and Chelsea have three friendly matches and possibilities with many composition player change before preparing final squad in Primer League games.

Pochettino seems to be able to bring big changes to the Chelsea squad. Even though his decision to sell many great players from the club invited various comments from football fans and from football observers. But now he can prove that he can make a strong Chelsea squad with the players he keeps at the club.

But for me Chelsea's performance in that match was not strong enough to compete in the Premier League title race. Their back line still looks quite weak. Because actually Brighton players don't seem too difficult to penetrate the Chelsea defense. Well, this is only a pre-season match, so of course Pochettino is definitely still not finished setting the best strategy for Chelsea. Because the real strategy will definitely be shown in real matches when the season starts later.

I personally also appreciate Brighton in that match because they continued to play pretty well and were able to keep up with Chelsea's game even though from the 60th minute Brighton only played with 10 players.

New players will play in the second half and we will see how the other Manchester United players will perform this season. There will be lots of competition for first team spot next season in Manchester United.

I'd agree to an extent, Gabriel Martinelli had a good chance to give Arsenal the lead but I was quite surprised he snoozed on that chance he got. Two good saves from Tom Heaton in the first half to deny the brazilian that chance.
Yeah, but we saw Saka making good use of the right wing very well, they had multiple passes flowing to that ends but they couldn't convert those chances still.

Yeah, Props to those defender's, and Harry Maguire. Harry Maguire wasn't under pressure yesterday, he handled a tight situation I felt he was suppose to lose.The introduced youngins are also doing great not as much expected but we've seen drastic improvements from em.

I dozed off watching the game, so much can't say much about the second half of the season. Kai Harvertz seems lost, but I do hope he fits in well into Arsenals kind of game plans.

[Despairo]

Manchester United play so serious like it's a final match in Champions league

It's impossible to see Arsenal playing so damn bad when they're win in ball possession and total shots, Rice and Havertz looks don't have a good chemistry yet.

However it's nice to see Chelsea able to beat Brighton, Nkunku, Mudryk and Jackson give a good contribution in this match. Nkunku also looks solid even though he play in center forward position when he was mostly play in attacking midfielder.

Man United has a transfer budget of £ 170 million this season. Even though they have spent £60m on Jason Mount and £47m for Onana, I think Man United can still get a good striker with the rest of their budget. Moreover, if Man United successful in selling their players (such as Maguire, Sancho, Fred, McTominay and Elanga) then Man United will get boosted fresh funds which can be used to strengthen their squad this season.

It is possible that Man United can tempt PSG regarding the signing of Mbappe because PSG won't get anything if they aren't willing to let him go in the current transfer window, and most likely PSG can't peg Mbappe with a fantastic value because Mbappe will be a free agent next summer (Mbappe refused to sign the contract extension offered by PSG).

There are indeed rumors that Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid as a free agent next summer, but I think PSG will do whatever it takes so they can sell Mbappe this season and get some money out of it.

Manchester United seems to be ready to compete in the season that will start soon. Even Manchester United have been released from the goalkeeping crisis after De Gea left. Because now Manchester United already has a new goalkeeper that they brought in from Inter Milan, namely Andre Onana. Maybe in the next pre-season match Onana will be played.

In the pre-season match against Arsenal, we can also see Manchester United players playing quite comfortably. But in general, Manchester United's performance is not much different from the previous season. But for sure ETH will not show the real strategy owned by the Manchester United club in the pre-season match. So I'm still waiting for the real surprises from Manchester United and the other clubs in the season that is about to start.

@abhiseshakana I don’t think that Manchester United will target him because he’s selfish and will upset the balance at the club hence I hope that they don’t sign him. Also while we lack a striker look at what we did to Arsenal yesterday despite their main star’s playing Manchester United yet managed to defeat them and I feel that Sancho will be converted into a striker if the club fail to buy a striker during this transfer window.

[flyingcarpet]

Manchester City for a fact has lost few of their players that helped the club win treble last season but that doesn't stop them from being the strongest English Premier League club at the moment.
After the departure of IIkay Gundogan, he was replaced with former Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic and which I think is a perfect replacement and now that Riyad Mahrez is gone City still possess squad that's capable of winning as much as they won last season

Yes, for now we have seen a growing issue where Mahrez is likely to leave Manchester City and join Al-Ahli. Even in the progress of the transfer saga, it has been ensured that Al Ahli will get Mahrez in this transfer window. Even the position left by Mahrez doesn't really worry us because Grealish could play in that position if Guardiola wants him in that position. So I say that Manchester City still has a stock of quality players that keeps them from losing balance if their players leave in this transfer window.

However, Pep Guardiola is also worried that he will soon recruit the right replacement for the place left by Mahrez. Raphinha is the target of Pep Guardiola in this transfer window. I am sure he will be interested in joining Manchester City if Manchester City makes an offer for him.

Ilkay Gundogan made a big contribution to the team. I doubt his replacement will be able to have the same effect, so I can't be sure whether City are losing strength before the games start.

Guardiola can build a squad with many alternatives. So he can easily overcome this situation. What I'm worried about is how much the departure of some players will or won't hurt the strength of the team when City have had such a good season.

With so many quality players at Manchester United, in the coming season they should be ready to try to win in the Premier League next season, 100 million Euros is a lot of money, therefore Manchester United must have a good strategy to keep winning in the coming season.

Manchester United has been formed into a solid squad since being under Ten Hag care, he has succeeded in bringing Manchester United up from adversity to become a team ready to compete at the top of the rankings. Ten Hag wish was welcomed by club management, the arrival of several quality players in the transfer market this time will give a new nuance to Manchester United appearance. The arrival of Onana also ends Manchester United search for a goalkeeper position, he is one of the players Ten Hag most wanted to be in his squad.

Manchester United needs to find a quality striker for the balance of the team, the new force formed by Ten Hag has posed a threat to Manchester City, which has dominated the Premier League so far. This season the Premier League will be more competitive than the previous season, Liverpool and Chelsea have also made big changes to break the dominance of Manchester City which has been difficult for other teams to break.

[Bananington]

Pochettino seems to be able to bring big changes to the Chelsea squad. Even though his decision to sell many great players from the club invited various comments from football fans and from football observers. But now he can prove that he can make a strong Chelsea squad with the players he keeps at the club.

Chelsea will be a very strong team next season. There is something in the way the Chelsea team are playing , you can see that they want to show that they are back. There are some particular good youngsters in Chelsea club like Jackson and Cesare Casadei. Jackson and Mudryk link up well and that led to Mudryk's first goal for Chelsea.

Manchester United seems to be ready to compete in the season that will start soon.

They played very well and were a threat anytime they went forward. Sancho can play as their striker if they do not get a striker, but if they can get a striker, it will be good to complement this very balanced Manchester United team.

[Velvet78]

~snip~

He is a very successful quality manager. He just needs a lot of money to build the kind of a team he would like.    He can find that kind of a budget at only rich teams as a result. He has finally achieved the Champions League title with Manchester City as well and achieved his main target too.

But remember, he also needs time to make a championship team. So not only the money factor, but there are improvements that take a long time. Indeed, for the EPL he has dominated since he came to England. But for Europe it took him more than 7 years. 7 years to win UCL. With the conditions, experience and champions gained, he will become the coach of a top club and automatically have a lot of money to spend. Besides, he won't be able to go to a small club

Of course winning a domestic league title is one thing and winning the Champions League title is another. The Champions League is the biggest challenge for even the best teams in Europe. Guardiola made a big effort to achieve that title with his usual game plan and strategies for years.

Maybe if he made slight changes according to their opponents over the years they might have won this title earlier who knows. But finally his system worked out and they won the title. It wasn't easy though as Inter resisted them really well. Guardiola will be remembered as the most successful manager in team history when he leaves.
