Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Zaguru12]

The players Nottingham forest bought on the last day of the transfer window are much better than Chelsea's signings. Forest would have scored more with a full squad. Chelsea have no great players except Enzo, I like Mudyrk and that's it. This team needs a guy like Julian Naagelsman, who's available. But Chelsea have brought in a guy like Mauricio Pochettino, who has no more success than he had at PSG and there is no tactics, no game plan. Everyone is playing everywhere and running around the pitch for nothing. I sadly pity the Chelsea fans.

I disagree, I think this Chelsea team seriously have exciting young players and with great potential but one thing is lack which is team cohesion. Mauricio Pochettino Was actually wrong with the way he set up the team. Playing a standing three man defenses and a five midfields with wing backs and two attackers is wrong against a team like Nottingham forest. He should have started a traditional back four and bring in an extra attacker on the right wing. Chilwell might ne the captain but he has been poor this season and Colwil should be used as a replacement for him.

One positive thing from the match is that Cole Palmer is seriously an asset he would help Chelsea solve the problems of an attacking midfielder if deployed there and then both. Fernandez and Caicedo can slot in as the Central Midfielders behind him.

The london clubs have been impressive this season except for some like Fulham and Crystal Palace who have not been up to par this season but we are still a long way from finishing the season, a lot of drama are yet to unfold in the season. Arsenal against Manchester United comes with so much entertainment and emotions. I am anticipating this fixture this weekend, I have my bets already staked high on Arsenal to win against Manchester United.

The match between both Manchester United and Arsenal will definitely be interesting except something else happens. Both teams have been having a mixed start to the season with both team players yet to replicate the same style the managers want to play. I would prefer a United win but based on past records of Arsenal been unbeaten at home to Manchester United since 2017 is a good head on to fancy Arsenal, also united away record to top teams has been so poor since Ten Hag arrival

Am not sure that people will bet on Nottingham Forest to win but am sure that there will be some people that will bet on Nottingham to score at least one goal which I also did and it happened because when I check their games played against Arsenal and Manchester united and they was able to scored against this teams, I just believe they will try their possible best to next Chelsea even they did not win the game but seriously I lose because other did not played as I predicted it.

The majority of people will go for a straight win for Chelsea since everyone believes that Chelsea has improved and that Nottingham can do nothing to Chelsea in assumption of people, All my thought was that Chelsea would win I did not place any bet, and was hoping that Chelsea would win against them, Nottingham and some other clubs are really scaring me this season Brighton and Tottenham etc. this season is not going as predicted at all

[Dewi Aries]

Yeah I thought so that Forest gonna have the first break and they did... Nice goal from Elanga there.. Chelsea are having good stats in the match but you gotta see that pressure is on Chelsea now. The odds or stats means nothing here. What if Nottingham goes on to score another goal? It's a risky one right now to back Chelsea or even draw. Nottingham are really making it hard for Chelsea right now.

Really embarrassing for Chelsea.

Nottingham Forest was able to defend well after they managed one goal from Elanga, Chelsea's attack didn't really mean that their chances were many but they couldn't find a gap in Nottingham's defense. I see Chelsea's style of play is still chaotic and the players are not very creative.

It's hard to imagine if they met Man City, Liverpool or another big team they wouldn't be so consistent, sometimes this match was bad but the next match was good.
Chelsea still hasn't found the right solution.

Chelsea was so weak and their strength was only able to beat The promotion team in the previous game when they beat Luton and after that they failed when they faced Nottingham Forest.
Even this defeat was painful because they had to lose in front of their own supporters which made Chelsea have to endure the embarrassing frustration of being ridiculed by their own supporters.

The sizable spending in the transfer window by buying players with high release clauses has not given great hope for the team's progress. Previously or last season, Chelsea or Chelsea fans blamed the coach for failing to show their best quality. But in this season, who is to blame?

[SmartCharpa]

I guess Chelsea will surely win this game with 2:0 in the second half because, they lead the game in the first half in the area of ball possession despite Nottingham forest are trying to block them not to have chance to enter their goalpost. If Chelsea can add more effort in the second half, I think they will get a good chance to score 2 goals to end the game in the second half because, they really show some interest to lead the game with 2 goals but they missed used the opportunity. There is no way this game will end up draw 0:0 because, the two teams are playing well but Chelsea are still on a high hill to challenge their opponent in the remaining 45 minutes to achieve the victory.
Manchester city will surely drop a points in this game because, Fulham want to let people know that they want to challenge premier league title in this season by using this opportunity to be the first team to beat Manchester city 2:1. The game ended up draw 1:1 in the first half, and I believe the Fulham still have enough strength to dominate in the second half to end the game 2:1 for the favour of Fulham.

Given their performance against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea had better take their upcoming games seriously. I think they believed they were a weak team that they could defeat easily, but after they all missed first-half opportunities, that's when they started to take things seriously. Jackson won't be able to rest easy for the rest of the day after ruining the goal, so if they don't watch out, they might finish in the top 10 like they did last season. LOL How on earth did you think Chelsea would won that game; despite numerous attempts, they lost in the first half.

Manchester City are really acting ridiculously. They didn't even play a good game in the first half, and even their new winger, Doku, was just trying to shine out in his first game. Since he doesn't know the team to which he was assigned, he will chop bench. Even their second goal wasn't supposed to count because a player made an attempt but didn't manage to touch the ball, which is a true offside. Fulham's strength is weakened by the second goal because they played Manchester City in the first half.

[JoyMarsha]

I want to say The defeat was purely due to Mauricio Pochettino, wrong formation, Chelsea played four at the back in pre-season and goals were scored, the league started and he started to change it, two attacking players against Forest at home? Mauricio Pochettino better fix it soon or things will take a turn for the worse quickly. This is very frustrating because this team has so much potential and raw talent, players just need to be played in the right positions.

You rightly said it correctly. The defeat of Chelsea was caused by the wrong formation that Pochettion used to play against Nottingham Forest. A home team should have more of an attacking force at the front against their opponent.
By right, Chelsea shouldn't lose this kind of game at home to a lesser-known team when the league games haven't gone very far. Losing three points in today's match does not speak well of Pochettino's managing Chelsea as a coach. He needs to place all Chelsea players in the proper positions on the field so they can perform as expected rather than struggling to score and give their best effort.

[Docnaster]

Who picks Notingham in the betting, it will be multiplied more, but who believes that Nottingham will win? I never thought it would happen but the evidence has shown us that Chelsea can be outplayed by small teams.

Am not sure that people will bet on Nottingham Forest to win but am sure that there will be some people that will bet on Nottingham to score at least one goal which I also did and it happened because when I check their games played against Arsenal and Manchester united and they was able to scored against this teams, I just believe they will try their possible best to next Chelsea even they did not win the game but seriously I lose because other did not played as I predicted it.

I believe there are many people that predicted that Nottingham Forest will win Chelsea.
If you have watched Nottingham Forest from the beginning of this season, are you will know that they have improved their squad and pattern of play and in the other hand Chelsea is still struggling to find their way forward amidst their new coach and so many new players. A very good sports bet analyst and a risk-taker will predict that Nottingham Forest will win Chelsea and I am sure that some persons must have done that.
Football is all about teamwork and team bonding. If your team does not bond, individual players will do nothing even with following the coach's instructions.

Nothingham Forest really was lucky, they didn't get the better of the game though but games like this when you don't score early enough against tough sides, you find it problematic to make things better.
Despite Forest threatening first half, The blues dis had a good game. Raheem Sterling was the best player during the first half for blues cutting through the the right wing but didn't get a good goal chance to slot one at the back of the net.

Not a bad game for Chelsea, Palmer should have been paired with Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, Gallagher runs to and fro on the pitch and adds nothing to the club. He shouldn't have stayed for another season, a loan move should develop him in the right direction for the club, if not he should be sold off completely.

Elanga though got to score but should be unselfish and learn to play as a team. Last week they should have won Manchester United, this week they didn't do better but showed class against Chelsea.
Chelsea players will blend but time is something that it'll sure take them.

By now I gave up on thinking about what Chelsea could be thinking. I am not sure there has ever in the history been a team with comparable investment efforts and such a terrific overall failure. Every time when I think that this is the deepest point they could get to, something worse is even possible for them. I don't know how they do it, but this Chelsea has nothing to do with the top club Chelsea they once were. I mean all these players that signed a new contract there for many many millions and with spectacular salaries, don't they feel some responsibility and guilt? Who is screwing all of this up? It can't be the coach alone.

[MinoRaiola]

Manchester city vs Fulham will be an easy match for Manchester city to dominate from the beginning till the end of the match, because they are good in using home advantage to defeat their opponent. This is the 4th match Manchester city are playing in this premier league competition, and they have won 3 matches to top the premier league table which is a sign that they will still win this match to embrace three points to make their fans happy again. I think Chelsea have to prove to people that they are good in using home advantage to play their opponent in this match, because Nottingham forest are well prepared in this season because they lead their opponent in the first half in their last match before one of their player got red card before they were defeated, which they can still apply that strategy in this match to battle with Chelsea to defeat them 1-0.

So you were right about Manchester City, a great game. Even if Pep Guardiola wasnt there, his team wins and Haaland scores his 6th goal. But Chelsea, there was a surprise that nobody seen it in over 25 years. They lose at home vs. Nottingham Forest, and the start of the new season is a disaster. 4 points in 4 games, for Chelsea with manye transfer and so mutch Money, so bad. In the game they shot over 20 times on goal, but did not score once.

[Rengga Jati]

......Newcastle will not be able to maintain their stand, this season. Why they had this poor performance today is also because of the Champions League fixture news that appeared yesterday besides we should not underrate Brighton and we know what they can do and what they have been doing to big teams. If Newcastle will plan well there is still time for them to just focud on one title and forget the others.

Newcastle and Chelsea are still not able to show their best performance at the start of this season. In fact, Newcastle have lost three matches in a row. Indeed, unfortunately, they had to fight several strong clubs at the start. However, we actually know that Newcastle's performance last season was very good, but it seems that there has been a slight decline in their performance. This cannot be allowed, Howe is not a new coach there, he should not let this happen and immediately get a solution from their performance so far. Moreover, they have entered the Champions League this season, so their performance must immediately improve again.

As for Chelsea, oh well, this can't be expected any more. Even though it's actually not certain what the future will be, but if you look at how they've performed so far, they need something new or they still really need to improve their performance on various fronts.

Chelsea inconsistent nature is beginning to make one feel small of them as a team to rely on this season. For what reason can’t they win Nottingham Forest today? This match was suppose to be a victorious match for them with three points and they fumbled and gave the win to them easily. The players were just playing the way they like, no cordination and no team spirit in them to even win the match. I am beginning to feel disappointed with Pochettino, if they can’t win smaller teams, how can they do with big teams when they meet? I just hope they’ll be a change in their gameplay soon.

I warned people to stay away from Newcastle match yesterday because I carefully analysed how Newcastle is going. If you check well Newcastle have been having difficult features since the season started. The only time that I have blamed Newcastle not to win a match is the match against Liverpool, whete Liverpool who was one man down was able to win the match. Newcastle will not be able to maintain their stand, this season. Why they had this poor performance today is also because of the Champions League fixture news that appeared yesterday besides we should not underrate Brighton and we know what they can do and what they have been doing to big teams. If Newcastle will plan well there is still time for them to just focud on one title and forget the others.

The news of the champions league is not enough to have weaken them this much. Although, we all know that Brighton are a great team and have been doing well and improving since they joined the premier league. Newcastle still have premier league within their control and means unlike the champions league which they already know will be difficult for them to pass through the group stage. They should be more focus in the premier league than they will be in the champions league and that will be the best decision for them to take.

Elanga though got to score but should be unselfish and learn to play as a team. Last week they should have won Manchester United, this week they didn't do better but showed class against Chelsea.
Chelsea players will blend but time is something that it'll sure take them.

I think rather than saying Nottingham were lucky it would be better to say Chelsea still can't be consistent.
Even if in the previous week they were really good and got 3 points with a striking score but in today's match they still have the same problem with the difficulty of finishing for them.
Nottingham did something good by capitalising on the momentum of Chelsea's lack of focus at the start of the second half which allowed Elanga to easily create the winning goal there.

On the other hand, Chelsea's finishing was very poor in this match, they played with full control and they created a lot of opportunities but if you look at the statistics of this match, 21 shots taken by Chelsea are not comparable to their 2 on target so in this case they still have to improve themselves to be better because if it continues like this it will be very natural if there are still a lot of people who still doubt them even though they have won in the previous match,

[swogerino]

This performance of Newcastle surely leave a lot to desire,if they go in the Champions League group stages with this kind of attitude then they will definitely be out already in the group stages.You should have some personality as a team who last season finished 3rd or 4th don't remember who made it to the Champions League group stages,you cannot let your guard down this way,you have to react,they were 3-0 and they barely managed to hit two times the target with one scoring one goal in late additional time of the second half when the result was 3-0.

Congrats to Brighton but Newcastle should have done better tonight.

Nottingham Forest made good use of the transfer window, after making many signings last season they still struggled to stay relevant in the league. They have made quite a number of signings this summer, some of the names registered to the club include Nuno Tavares, Divock Origi, Nicolas Dominguez and Callum Hudson Odoi, etc. this signings should improve Nottingham Forest in the long run and also keep them in the premier league at the end of the season.

[Frankolala]

What a surprise for Brighton to win big at 3-1 Their play was mesmerizing and Newcastle were under pressure despite only being able to score one goal at the end with Wilson.

Who picks Notingham in the betting, it will be multiplied more, but who believes that Nottingham will win? I never thought it would happen but the evidence has shown us that Chelsea can be outplayed by small teams.

Ahhh although there were plenty of goals the multi bets were lost on Chelsea, while Manchester and Tottenham won but that hope faded.

Newcastle are disappointing, after a single victory in the first round, when they thrashed Aston Villa, they could not win a single match, moreover, they lost three games in a row. Yes, the rivals were very strong, but now Newcastle looks much worse than last season, I guess when they start playing in the Champions League, it will be even more difficult for them, quite unexpectedly...

I warned people to stay away from Newcastle match yesterday because I carefully analysed how Newcastle is going. If you check well Newcastle have been having difficult features since the season started. The only time that I have blamed Newcastle not to win a match is the match against Liverpool, whete Liverpool who was one man down was able to win the match.

If you look at Brighton this season they have started the season in a victorious way and that was why I wasn't surprised at the defeat of Newcastle by Brighton. I was thinking that Newcastle will win the game but it was difficult for them to equalise the goals talk more of winning.

Newcastle hasn't been able to prove to their fans that they will be able to remain in the top four this season with a poor performance after they won their first match. I don't know what is wrong with the club that they aren't playing good football like last season. Is it that they can't be consistent for two seasons.

[Bobrox]

Things are really not going well for Chelsea, 4 games and 2 of them defeats. Now you can't say that it's about the coach, he has a good and successful experience, besides Chelsea had a good transfer window, they have everything they need for a good and well-coordinated game. It's sad to look at all this, I don't even understand what they are missing

Loss 2 of 4 games is not expected performance from Chelsea actually they are facing with not bigger teams except draw against Liverpool, many big teams opponent waiting for upcoming match and seems The Blues still underperformance in this season. Looks nothing with how much money spent by Chelsea management although success make new highest fees transfer history record but Chelsea performance still not special yet with 5 matches have 2 loses, once win and draw.

Chelsea fans can acceptable for not expected with tittles in this season and seems difficult for Chelsea finish on top fourth standings position, its seems not difference on early premier league matches or after few matches later because Chelsea have bad management with current transfer activities.

In this new season, even though Chelsea and Liverpool started very poor note. I still believe that Chelsea can have a turn around and begin to play better football likewise Newcastle, but my fear with Newcastle is that they are in European competition and not ordinary European competition. They are in the champions league. This will make them divided since they have never gotten their place in the English Premier League. There is a very big chance that they will also struggle in the Champions League and at the end of the season they may end empty-handed and not been able to qualify for the next season champions league. This is what the management of Newcastle United need to look into and find a way to solve the problem when it has not risen.

[boltz]

I really don't know what to say about Chelsea anymore because this team even if it has massive talent , they really don't look like a team when they play and when they win , it's just from pure skill and not actually playing like a team. Today , they lost again and I think a new coach might come to Chelsea this Autumn to try and save the start of the season.

[snipie]

Even in the last season Brighton and Hove were doing pretty much good for a team like them with a limited finance comparing to the others. I am more worried about Newcastle United which doesn't seem okay to maintain their position.
Today both Spurs and Manchester City won by 5 goals. Their victories were expected but their 5 goals was impressive, especially Haaland scoring a hattrick. Otherwise the defeat of Chelsea in Stamford Bridge vs Nottingham Forest is unfortunate for the team, their fans and people losing bets every time on them.

Chelsea losing at home to an underdog with their $100M midfielders has to be one of the humiliating thing I have seen today. For a team with such quality, it's disappointing to see them struggle against the likes of Nottingham forest. I've spoken to a few Chelsea fans (who no longer watch their team games anymore) and they expressed disappointed at Pochettino for playing some people out of position and giving sterling too much game time.

There's nothing to say actually. You don't just throw more money to solve a problem and hope that it would be solved. That's what Chelsea is guilty of.
