Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

After watching Manchester United defeated at the Old Trafford today against Brighton, it was very clear that the players of Manchester United are not playing out their heart for the club and it seems the players aren't happy with the managerial style of the club manager Erik Ten Hag.
After Rasmus Hojlund was replaced just 19 minutes into the second of that match, the fans of the club booed which somehow sent a me

Honestly, you could say that their performance is decreasing. Are they just satisfied with last season's achievements so they are proud to have entered the Champions League this season? So they only focus on their credibility last season. Meanwhile, this season, their performance has dropped drastically. the defeat against Brighton this time could be said to be a crushing defeat. Not only did they lose at home, but they lost 1 - 3 to Brighton. Even though they are not just an ordinary team. They are Man United. However, so far, Ten Hag has still not been able to optimize his team in the EPL. Likewise for the Man United players, they don't seem to be able to defend their team wholeheartedly, so they are often not optimal. Lots of wasted opportunities here. It is deeply regretted.

Of course Manchester United performance is decrease worse if we look at their final results in the last two matches. I don't expect them to be satisfied with their performance last season in making it back to the Champions League and Erik Ten Hag performance was highly praised last season. But in fact he failed to maintain his best performance at the start of this season after making many blunders in the transfer window this season, such as releasing De Gea. Their unstable performance looks bad enough to be able to compete with other big teams this season. Manchester United currently needs a turnaround process for the better and it looks like it will take time for Erik Ten Hag. Currently, the two big EPL teams, Manchester United and Chelsea, are ranked 13th and 14th in the standings respectively.

Manchester united defeated in Old Trafford. Erik Ten Hag was frustrated and confused with his line-up, starting and making wrong changes in the game made them concede 3 goals. All United players was relenting, not able to create scoring opportunities and the ones they had they easily throw it away. Talking about missed chances, I will point out Marcus Rashford who had good opportunities and failed to net any goal in both halves. Always making his silly long runups that have zero contributions to the frontlines, although I was pleased with Rasmus Højlund performance, working smooth with Rashford who was described as a stingy frontline. We should give them time to fixed their mistakes and weaknesses.

I'm thinking maybe De Gea, Maguire and Ronaldo weren't the only problems for Man United last season, the whole team seemed to forget to defend and finish. They forgot how to win, and Rashford really angered me with his selfishness and greed in playing as if they didn't have a striker. When he played as a striker, he didn't know how to be a striker. When he was on LW, he was crazy about dribbling the ball all the way off the line rather than passing early to Hojlund.

Apart from that, I see Brighton's tactics as very appropriate. They know that Man United's wingers and wingers are tired, injured or fired. They kept the ball to the wings because they had more speed than Man United, and they knew Man United's midfield defense was slow without Amrabat. So they immediately knew, as long as they neutralized Man United's attacks while Man United were short of players, as soon as they got the opportunity to counterattack, they played on the wings, bombed and passed to the center forward who could shoot free shots towards the goal. It happened to Man United 3 times, that's why Man United lost 3-1.

I knew Manchester United was not in a good situation but losing the game to Brighton was not something I could even predict to see from this team, I'm sure this can definitely put Ten Hag under more pressure and he can even get fired if the team performance like this in this season, they should use Sancho, maybe Sancho can improve the team.  
The fans even blamed this coach for Hojlund.

]As long as Manchester United cannot improve their poor defense I think the competition in the group stage against Bayern will not be able to happen but I still feel that utilizing the 2nd place in the standings is still possible for Manchester United.

Manchester United performance today has nothing to do with the defense; excusing defense as reason is just a way of avoiding criticizing the coach ten hag. The manchester united coach was tactically beaten 3 games in a row now and the media wants to blame "rashford, defense"? As it looks, ten hag won;t be here for a long time. Very shambolic performance from the manchester united side.

[Humblevirus]

Certainly, even Man Utd in their form last season will not withstand the pressure of FC Bayern Munich let alone in their current state of form.

I already see their next match against FC Bayern Munich in the Champions League as a loss for them. With Manchester United's current performance, they can’t compete with Bayern Munich. I am expecting Bayern to win the match easily. I just hope Ten Hang will work on his defence to reduce the goals that will be conceded in the match.

If an average team like Brighton can defeat Manchester United with three goals in the Manchester United match against Bayern Munich, I can say that Manchester United have no hope of even drawing the match. Despite the fact that Bayern Munich is not in great form currently, I am assuring myself that they will still beat Manchester United with ease. In fact, I can't say that Manchester United will go far in the Champions League; if they don't take care, they will even struggle to qualify for the next round.
 
And again, as you have said, Manchester United's coach seriously needs to work on the defense line because the defense line is weak, but not only the defense line but also all the players because, as a club with big names and classic players, performing in a weak way is not the okay, it is shameful thing, Manchester United really need to improve; if not, they will fall behind.

[SatoPrincess]

Today's game was really tough for Manchester United and is like the international break shouldn't have come to an end for some of the fans. Being a United fan is really worrisome but the fans won't admit it that they have a problem and it has been spotted in today's game.
Ten Hag was just having a bad day with the way Brighton players was running round the pitch, taking care of business and at some point I was thinking that it was Brighton who was Manchester United because they played very well and I could see the midfield of Man UTD being taken from the home team.
In that encounter I believe that a true UTD fan would tell that their problem is the midfield. Is not about signing players from different league is about making use of them getting that unity between the players in the locker room.

Disappointing results from Manchester United, after dominating the game in the first 7 to 10 minutes I expected United will record a goal within this period but they failed to put their advantage to good use. And Brighton who were the visitors converted one to finish the first half and later concluded the game in a 3-1 victory. Certainly this wasn’t the kind of results the club would want at the beginning of the league but there is still time for improvement. I had hoped to see Amrabat today, is he also injured or still not fit enough?

Manchester united fans should learn to understand that they're no more the big club they used to be and the club is currently in a  big mess under their present owner and theirs nothing any coach could do to bring them back to winning ways except for a change of ownership and administration as well, although i blame Erik Ten Hag for his wrong choices too, wonder why he'll play bruno Fernandes from the left wing instead of allowing him play in a free role where he's always excelled, the midfield was very poor because they lacked strength in that area to mark against the fast Brighton players, there was not one players that impressed me today and they're getting worst as the week goes, I think they're going to suffer against Bayern Munich because their midfield is very porous the defense nothing to talk about and Onana cannot even help them stop shots like David De Gea does for the team, I feel so sorry for Ten Hag because his good coaching record could be destroyed at Manchester United.

Wolves can always make things difficult for all EPL teams. It happened last season, it looks like it will continue this season. Although Wolves' early-season record is not good enough. 1 win, 3 losses in four games. In addition to Nunes it seems Trent Alexander-Arnold will also not play, it looks like he has a hamstring injury. For Nunez, I think there won't be a big problem if he starts from the reserves. I think Liverpool are still a fvorite to win. Maybe 0-1.

The game went just how I thought and said. We saw two different halves. Wolves almost got a point but they were out of breathe in last minutes. They could've snatched at least 1 point here. Liverpool found a way to win the match even though it was very hard. While other title contenders won their games Liverpool couldn't tolerate losing points. Robertson's goal was really pulling a rabbit out of a hat though. They might not be this lucky next time.

[trendcoin]

Such an unfortunate day for Manchester United. Now I can really see how bad their condition is these days. I expected them to have difficulties against Brighton. But they even lost by 3-1 in Old Trafford. There were serious vulnerabilities in defense. Varane and Sofyan Amrabat were both injured and this was also a factor in this.

Rashford was quite selfish in this game and wasted many opportunities. He could have helped Hojlund score a goal on a few dangerous attacks as well. I really wonder what this team will do in the Champions League. I have less expectations from them now.

Brighton will undoubtedly make their mark in the Premier League this season with a great crowd and great football. If they can do what Newcastle did last season, they can get a Champions League ticket this season and it won't be a big surprise for me. Also, I agree with your views on Rashford's selfishness, he is a footballer who could be a top class goalscorer if he could adapt to the team game, but he prefers a selfish style of play.

Also, I think it is necessary to open a parenthesis for Roberto De Zerbi. He has limited resources but he has built a great team. On the other hand, Erik ten Hag has great resources but Manchester United are going through a very bad period... Manchester United fans were right to protest against Erik ten Hag today.

He had back pain and need more time to recover that's why Ten Hag and the medical team preferred not to take any risk. He should be fit soon vs Bayern hopefully. By the way I still wonder how Manchester United gonna face Bayern Munich with such performance.. It will be a disaster!
Meanwhile Manchester City, Spurs, Newcastle and Aston Villa won their games today making Manchester United look ridiculous in the 13h place after 5 rounds including 3 defeats!

[legendbtc]

Man United will host Brighton at Old Trafford. Man United will not have the strongest squad because there is too much bad news. Their injury list is endless, including the 2 recruits they brought this summer: Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat. Added to that are Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, and left-back Luke Shaw.
In addition, in the case of Jadon Sancho, he conflicts with coach Teg Han. Antony is the most notable absence. Meanwhile, Brighton is in good form and is currently ranked 6th. It is indeed too difficult for Man United in this match.

I also predict that Manchester United will have difficulty winning at home in tomorrow's match because I remember that several of Manchester United's mainstay players will not play in tomorrow's match for quite logical reasons, namely injury. Brighton will really take advantage of this condition to get a win at Old Trafford because they are also very aware that Manchester United's performance will definitely not be stable because several mainstay players will not be able to play tomorrow.

I suspect that this match will present an exciting battle, even though Manchester United is currently being hit by injured players. but unfortunately, there are many players who have to sit out due to injury.  apart from Varene, Luke Shaw, Malacia, Mason Mount. and now their newcomer Amrabat is reported to have a back injury, although he will recover quickly. however, it seems that his status is doubtful for making his debut with The Red Devil in the match against Brighton. part from that, Lisandro Martines is having problems with his ankle injury against Arsenal. Therefore, it is doubtful that his status will be absent or Ten Hag will continue to play him. what happened in the United camp was a big loss for Erik Ten Hag. However, it looks like Ten Hag will get around this by rotating some of its players.
referring to the predicted line-up, Eriksen will probably be placed in the attacking midfielder position, Bruno will be shifted to the left, as will Rashford, Hojlund will start in this match. unfortunately, Hojlund is not a ready-made striker, so he will need more adaptation. Hopefully, he can show that he is a worthy striker.

Meanwhile, the challenger team Brighton, their performance is quite good. 3 of his 4 matches were won with impressive results.  Only against West Ham did Brighton suffer defeat.  In the match vs United there were several players whose status was in doubt, namely, Evan Ferguson, who was reported to have a minor knee injury.
But overall, De Zerby's squad is ready to play its match against United. However, referring to the betting odds, there is no one who is more favored in this match. and I'm quite sure, this match will present quite an exciting battle with the fast style of play from both teams. Well, let's see what will happen when the two teams meet.

So, Man United officially lost to Brighton recently, in the absence of stars. This is like a painful slap in the face for Man United fans who bought tickets to watch the match. Looking at the way Man United players organized their defense in this match, the defense looked like they were fast asleep.
And when there is no blameworthy Harry Maguire after every match, who will Man United fans vent their anger on now? Harry Maguire is always the subject of malicious and insulting comments every time Man United loses a game.

[Coyster]

If an average team like Brighton can defeat Manchester United with three goals in the Manchester United match against Bayern Munich, I can say that Manchester United have no hope of even drawing the match.

That's two different teams in two different competitions, you cannot use the game today to draw conclusion on the mid-week game in the CL, mind you too that Bayern Munich likewise failed to win this weekend, they drew 2-2 against Bayern Leverkusen. Having said that, Brighton are by no means an average team, they are currently one of the best teams in the EPL right now, Roberto De Zerbi is such an excellent manager and who knows how high he and his Brighton team will finish this season, top four?

[Winterfrost]

Bournemouth Vs Chelsea

I think this match will end in a 2-2 draw. Chelsea has been having a hard time winning their games, and they lost to West Ham in their last match when they played away.

What are your predictions?

Manchester united's performance was so terrible to watch. It's caused by there have been many inconsistentcy was happening in the club. The defensive lines were always let the opponent to go to the penalty box. Manchester united has been showing a poor performance against brighton.
It's such a disgrace for ten hag to make manchester even worse than before. I thought that if ten hag will able to help manchester united in leaving from this kind of problem but in fact he can't,
Manchester united keeps face more and more lose against another club in EPL. This is the worst performance from manchester united. People are starting to feel tired with ten hag. This guy changes nothing in manchester united.
He was also doing some stupid substitutions which are not even put garnacho in the game, which is very strange. Losing antony was surely giving a tremendous impact to the club.
I expect nothing between MU vs bayern. Manchester united can very least scoring the goal against bayern.

[SatoPrincess]

Roberto De Zerbi is tough opponent for Erik Ten Hag, we know what he's capable of, thrashing united. The Red Devils supporters have everything to worry about, their next game is Bayern Munich in UEFA Champions League and here they are, still strugling to win a game against Brighton. It's poor performance from them, they deserved what they got, however everything will be just fine if they are able to fixed their problems within the calculated time. Manchester united lost, Erik Ten Hag and the players should be blamed because they're completely out of line, not even able to net two goals in Old Trafford.

The stats show that indeed Roberto De Zerbi is a tough opponent for Erik Ten Hag but I won’t entirely blame Erik Ten Hag for the team’s poor performances because I feel some of the players of Manchester United do not possess that fighting and winning mentality that is why even when they play against a team they could get a win they don’t show that zeal to win. The team is just lacking fighting spirit and resilience.

Bournemouth Vs Chelsea

I think this match will end in a 2-2 draw. Chelsea has been having a hard time winning their games, and they lost to West Ham in their last match when they played away.

You're probably right about this but you can't even compare bourne to the westham as moyes's squad was far better even though it was losing at home against city but it's not arguably since manchester city was one of strongest club in the world.

What are your predictions?

Probably, draw or chelsea lose in this match.

I expect nothing from pochettino's club. You will able to see how pochettino will start to show non sense thing like put players in incorrect position like when chilwell played as left winger.
You may also see caicedo to play as winger as well soon. LMAO

I don't like to blame the manager but pochettino does horrible things to the chelsea in the previous match. It's likely he will repeat it back again. I will call him as a complete shit if he keeps try to put chilwell as winger of chelsea.

[Zigabel]

Manchester United's defeat against Brighton was very surprising, but actually their victory was also very doubtful. Manchester United is not in the best form after a storm of injuries and also several problems that befell its players. Ten Hag didn't find a solution to avoid home defeat against Brighton, so I think he is really under pressure right now.

The least I expected of Manchester united was a draw but sadly the win was so huge Manchester united couldn't escape even with a draw, the sad part has to be the fact that Manchester united was at home, I never saw this coming because I have always thought that after their poor performance last match day they would want to make up for the loss considering a week Break was taken for international duties.

It is no news that most recently the club has been faced with issues that has to do with their players and in some cases pressure is on the club to take disciplinary measure against it's player but the club is reluctant about it because the after effects on other players and the coach is at stake too, the most recent that has to do with Anthony I think has an effect on the club aswell and maybe affecting it's performance, because their recent style of play obviously shows they may be down psychologically, if Manchester united continue with this performance tenhag will be under much pressure soon so he has to find a way to remedy the situation

[nelson4lov]

Of course United lost today because Ten Haag is ruining this team for 2 years already and I think it's time for him to be replaced because United is really suffering in all departments during the game and also outside the game. They are now in 13th place with only 6 points and only 6 goals scored... .

Their owners and management are just being sentimental about ten hag; otherwise, they would've sacked him already. Because of the way he manages the team, most players have fallen out of favour with the club and it has become a regular occurrence. When it happened with Ronaldo, we thought it was just Ronaldo feeling too important but that's not the case anybody. The club should call him to order otherwise, he'll run them to the ground.

I've watched 3 of the 5 man utd games this season and in all three! They struggled real hard.

Andre Onana thought being a goalkeeper for a Premier League club was easier than Serie A, but it turns out it's not that easy. Since he was brought in, it's enough to see that all is not well. Erik Ten Hag cannot resolve the tangled threads that exist in the Man United camp. I just remembered that Brighton's first goal was scored by a former player who was dumped by Man United.

In my opinion, Man United's negative trend will definitely continue, Mason Mount carries No. 7 as many people suspect, namely that it is still inappropriate because it is quite sacred. Actually, there is a lot we can comment on from this embarrassing defeat, but what can we make of the fact that Man United was better prepared last season than this season. There were many setbacks, especially the trust of fellow players starting to fade. This is the risk of Erik Ten Hag applying standards but not looking at the capacity of the players he has. While big clubs like Liverpool and Man City were able to make a comeback, their neighbors actually fell into the abyss.

Against Bayern Munich in the UCL? it will definitely be scarier for United fans to watch.

Manchester United still continues to disappoint. Now I want to see the success of the legendary squad, which is Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs and Scholes, again. The red devils are not used to these results. Troubled times may be beginning for Ten Hag. Now Manchester United needs to have a very good squad, they need to achieve success.

[borovichok]

Brighton didn't rush the hosts, settling and knotting every pieces of the pitch area, especially United weak defendlines, the seagulls frontline, Kaoru Mitoma and Tariq Lamptey using it against the Red Devils. Manchester united passing through some difficult phase presently. Erik Ten Hag would lose his position as headcoach if things doesn't fall back to normal for the Red Devils. Losing to Brighton 1-3 at Old Trafford was really a disappointment for them, we know players that ought to be blamed for this defeats. The first player that comes to my mine is Marcus Rashford, after all these years he spent in Old Trafford and England, playing with:
Wayne Rooney
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Harry Kane
Edison Cavani
Cristiano Ronaldo
He's has no clue that as a winger, you have to create more golden goal scoring opportunities for your striker on the pitch, rather he sticks to his plans and playing as a newbie without any guidance or experience. Rasmus Højlund needed to be spoonfed with crucial passes which was set-up by Rashford, he missed alot of chances because he's more acquainted go dribble than securing good passes for the attacker. I hope United bounced back to the game when there's still time for them.
