Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Avirunes]

Today I was finally convinced that Chelsea is a rubbish... Now it's a mid-table team like Everton or Brentford, not the Abramovich era... I don't understand how they couldn't win this match today and now they are on my black list... By the way Arsenal don't look very good either, but I hope they can win in the second half...

Chelsea did manage to draw for a change  . But nah, they should have won that one. But with all the changes they have been through and the inconsistency in the team right now, I kinda expected them to lose. The should be on the blacklist for a while until they get a goalscorer and someone in midfield that can make good attacking plays.

As for Arsenal, yeah performance has changed from last season. Not sure what happened but yeah something has changed and as an Arsenal fan it is hard to see them without the confident vibe they had in previous season.

It's now getting obvious that Chelsea still has alot to deal with after their draw today, Bournemouth is currently not in best position and I was actually very convinced that the blues would come out today on top.

Gradually the league is still taking shape, if arsenal wins Everton today then the league would be between them and I see Liverpool making it to the UEFA champions league spot and probably Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton completing the table.

After all, I personally believe that Chelsea and Manchester United this season will not be able to be in the top zone in the Premier League standings. Because yes, Chelsea and Manchester United are experiencing a bad situation in the team, and it looks like it will take a long time to recover. Especially about Manchester United, which was previously expected to be better this season, because of its success last season. But what happened was a collapse and yes, it will not be easy to recover because at the same time, the competition in the Premier League has become more difficult.

Haha, Chelsea has disappointed their fans again and continued the bad record as you said poor finishing is the main problem the expensive strikers they have don't mean anything, do you think this is Pochettino failure who was unable to implement the right strategy? Pochettino's career may be over at Chelsea by mid-season if he doesn't improve Chelsea's performance we know the Chelsea owner doesn't want to hear any excuses, he will fire anyone if they don't have a positive impact Pochettino still has time until next January.

Despite the poor performance by Chelsea team, I don’t think that Pochettino will be sacked anytime soon. The club will give him more time to be able to put the team together. He has only lost 2 matches out of 5 matches he has played this season in the premier league. They might give him more room for improvement and during that period he’ll be pressured to bring the best out of the team. Chelsea fans continue losing hope in their team, it was supposed to be a win for them but they still shared the points with Bournemouth.

Even Arsenal in the game that is ongoing it is not doing well,hopefully the nightmare result of last year where they lost 1-0 will not repeat itself and Arsenal will win this game.I have many parlays with Arsenal,and I am only expecting them to win but since first half ended 0-0 I am not hopeful at all.

You don’t have to lose hope yet, if you’ve been following up the match you’ll see that Everton are been pressured and Arsenal are trying very much to break into their defense to score a goal. Anything can happen at anytime, but I don’t see Everton winning this match. The match will either end in a draw or a win for Arsenal.

[tusandii]

I agree that Chelsea should be able to win this week, even if they are playing away. But if Chelsea performance doesn't improve or they don't find points, then it will be very difficult to compete at the top for the champion zone.

Chelsea is currently in 14th place with only 4 points from the previous 4 matches. If the players' mentality does not immediately wake up then this season will be worse than the previous season.

Maybe everyone doubts Chelsea after seeing only the bad side, but in this match I will see the good side of Chelsea when playing away at home to Bournemouth and from the statistical results Chelsea can always beat Bournemouth even though playing at home Bournemouth will not be able to compete with Chelsea who more have better playing quality in terms of performance.
I can't avoid that there are always surprises as some people have said here, but those surprises will not matter in this match because it is absolutely certain that Chelsea will lead this match with a better score and can bring additional points to continue to improve the stability of Chelsea's performance.

It would be fun if a bookie would open a line on who between Ten Hag and Pochettino will be booted out first hehe. Either of them may have a valid argument as to why the teams they manage have been mediocre so far but still not enough to excuse them from their accountability. Who would you pick just in case?

Erik Ten Hag has nothing to prove, He got Manchester United qualified for the Champions League and also, winning a trophy last season.
He's had couple of players Injured which has affected the strength of the club. Though, there's the glazers who needs to leave, it's either they support the club fully and no further stealing.

Pochetino would be given time, he has the next three months to show what he is capable of else, Chelsea wouldn't want to give him that time they did with Graham Potter. They must have learnt from those failures.

[Franctoshi]

Chelsea started the game well but it seems everything change when mudrky was removed. Although he wasn't contributing much to the game but his understanding with Jackson was the reason we had the first leg under control but immediately he was removed from the game,

Imo, I even think that Mudryk did not performed really well, and a bit problem they had in that match coupled with the fact that Ben Chiwell was being kept on the bench if you look at the spice up he brought into the game with those passes and crosses when he was brought in around  80+. Minutes.

Bournemouth find a breakthrough and started domination the game in the second half. I'm surprised Chelsea didn't concede in the second half of the game because we had so many chances of going 1-0 down but Bournemouth couldn't take their chances. Pochettino is constantly providing he isn't the main man for the Chelsea job because I haven't seen any improvements since he took charge of the club.

Chelsea missed a lot of chances in the game that ended them locking horns with Bournemouth,  and the result from this game suggests their major problem is with finishing.

[Marykeller]

I saw that some useless players like sterling which is always driblling when he got the ball.

A few weeks back when Chelsea played against Luton, Sterling's performance was superb and I thought he had found his best form to be scoring goals and performing well in every Chelsea match, but neither do we know that Starling's best performance won't be for long before he goes back to his former bad form. Laying Sterling off during the transfer window would have been a better idea than having him mess up Chelsea's team performance with his unnecessary dribbling that is not needed in matches apart from scoring goals.

[iBaba]

Even Arsenal in the game that is ongoing it is not doing well,hopefully the nightmare result of last year where they lost 1-0 will not repeat itself and Arsenal will win this game.I have many parlays with Arsenal,and I am only expecting them to win but since first half ended 0-0 I am not hopeful at all.

Anything can happen at anytime, but I don’t see Everton winning this match. The match will either end in a draw or a win for Arsenal.

He doesn't have to loose hope indeed. Trossard has swiftly put the ball in the net... Arsenal is on top gears right now with the 1 goal advantage over Everton. I was pretty sure of the fact that Arsenal will finish this game well enough. At 69 minutes, Arsenal has already broken the 18 yard which stroke a fantastic goal..

This is interesting and a good way to get the fans energized. Now let's sit back to see how the game place out. But with the ball possession so far, it shows Arsenal is in control of the game.

Chelsea is currently in 14th place with only 4 points from the previous 4 matches. If the players' mentality does not immediately wake up then this season will be worse than the previous season.

Chelsea and Manchester united are in the same exact condition. The blues performance is purely mediocre and having these players, playing like novice. I'm tired of complaining and shouting during Chelsea games, they will get better when they're tired of these poor results, because I see no reason why Jackson and Sterling would be missing golden chances. Chelsea players are dissapointment to the supporters and the board, they're unable to win an average club like Bournemouth. Mauricio Pochettino making wrong changes and the game was just a waste of my time. I'm not going to watch any of there game until they bounce back to winning ways.

He's had couple of players Injured which has affected the strength of the club. Though, there's the glazers who needs to leave, it's either they support the club fully and no further stealing.

If the reason Man United is not a full team is because many players are injured, Brighton is not a full team either. But the difference is that Brighton plays systemically, while Man United plays with individual skill, especially in the first 15 minutes. When Brighton scored a goal, that's where Man United's mentality was down. Moreover, Rashford mostly dribbles the ball.

This is very different from even though Manchester City without Gundogan (who has left), Grealish, KDB and Ake, all of whom were pillars of last season's treble winning squad, were still able to win the match against Westham.

The two new players who started (Doku and Gvardiol) were really worth it if you look at their performance in that match. Julian Alvarez is increasingly comfortable with his new position and role behind Haaland. Foden is starting to become a regular starter with his strengths in dribbling, acceleration, creativity and shooting. Next, City's central midfielder stock will be even more deadly with the presence of Matheus Nunes. Plus Kovacic again.

I think one huge issue that players who are paid 20 million a year don't get tired of losing unless their salary would be paid out according to the points they win in a season. I would love to see a contract that says 20 million is your salary when Chelsea wins 90 points in the Premier League season. For every point less than 90, your salary will be reduced proportionally. Maybe this is not even strict enough and it should be harder than that. These guys live a dream life while it doesn't matter at all how they are doing their job. If a nurse or a firefighter did their job for 3,000 a month the same way these guys from Chelsea are doing it for 1.5 million a month, humanity would already be dead.

To be honest, I rarely watch Chelsea matches if they are not crucial matches against big teams. from my point of view, Chelsea has young players with potential. Unfortunately, many of them were injured. Maybe this too, is an obstacle for Pochettino to explore the players they have. Another obstacle, Chelsea doesn't even have established players. which usually can lift the team's mentality and become a role model in the field. Almost on average, Chelsea players are dominated by young players.

and IMO, that is one of the problems. just relying on Thiago, that's not the solution. so, Chelsea should have some senior players. especially, for the front line. As for Nkuku, he is prone to injury. Sterling, its performance has been up and down. Nicolas Jackson, I don't know, I can't say anything for him. because if he is a classy stirker, he could be a goalscorer that Pochettino can rely on. However, in his five matches, he was only able to score one goal, and that was when Chelsea played against Luton.
At this point, I don't blame Pochettino as a coach. he was faced with the available players, as he received an offer to become manager. Like it or not, he has to maximize the squad of his team. I'm not sure Chelsea can finish in the top four, but if in the end they don't have injured players. Pochettino should use it to bring his team to its best performance.

[Out of mind]

Everton vs Arsenal match is interesting game between the two teams and Arsenal are already leading by one goal. The game is drawing to a close, but Everton have yet to take control of the game, making it yet to be confirmed whether the match will be a draw. But I think today's game will ensure this exciting attack for Arsenal. Before half-time there was good attacking going between the two teams, but neither team could score, but after half-time a great attacking move saw Arsenal score and Everton were ahead. If Arsenal can win this match today, they will surely move to the first position of the Premier League table points. Arsenal will move into the position where last season's champions are in first place with 15 points. And if Arsenal win this match against Everton, they will occupy the first position in the points table of the new season.

[Tellek Garing]

Chelsea and Bournemouth with the first goalless draw of this season, there was a lot of chances for the two teams to score, but it wasn't to be. Bournemouth will be happy with the one point considering the opponent they came up against today, but Chelsea on the other hand will be hugely disappointed, one win out of five after all the money they've spent is a disaster, to say the least.

Just five games in and Pochettino is already under huge pressure, if the bad results keep coming, it wouldn't be long before Tood Boehly sends him parking, Chelsea have to do better and they know it, but i don't see it happening anytime soon. Sorry Chelsea fans.

Chelsea's rough start to the Premier League continues as they struggle to score once more, this time against Bournemouth. It's becoming a real concern for Chelsea. They are not performing as expected, and the relegation battle seems more real than ever. Chelsea fans, however, already won the transfer window, but they might need to brace for a challenging season ahead.

Chelsea had played beyond and below expectations this season Mauricio pochettino side were lacking in creativity and creative threat on goal, the host played so comfortable with the level of the game, the only clear cut chances Chelsea had was Rahim Sterling second half  free kick that crash the underside of the crossbar. To me, it was a familiar case of finding a critical pass of possession and overall control of the match counted for little. I hope they play better next time

If Arsenal can win this match today, they will surely move to the first position of the Premier League table points. Arsenal will move into the position where last season's champions are in first place with 15 points. And if Arsenal win this match against Everton, they will occupy the first position in the points table of the new season.

With this win, Arsenal is already closing ranks with Manchester City. This season of EPL will be a back to back win for Arsenal. It will be a battle between the Gunners and Man City. My advice for Arsenal at this time is to increase it's squad depth. Saka needs a support. While Arteta should bring in more support at the defense to make it stronger. Well done guys!

[Avirunes]

Arsenal managed to win the game with Trossard's goal but to be honest it wasn't a convincing one. With Arsenal's standards they should be winning at least with 2-3 goals but they managed to score only one. With CL up ahead now Arsenal really needs to be confident now and create more opportunities and find the back of the net. Arsenal's next opponent is in-form Spurs and it will be a heavy North London derby up ahead after CL game.

Honestly we have to give credit to Arsenal because their win is a hard fought one having been winless at Godison Park in the past six years and the jinx had been broken today, agreed not a convincing win however taking three points at that difficult ground is a big plus for the Gunners and this result will motivate the team when they play their rival Tottenham Hotspur next week and the need to keep pressing on Man City for the top spot is very important, though fourth on the table with thirteen points but separated with two points with Man City, Moreso as the team more games they continue to improve in their performances.

I understand how you are starting to feel disappointed with Chelsea. Because we are all here hoping for quite good improvements from Chelsea. There is no need for drastic changes, it's just that we want to see that this club at least doesn't experience many defeats and stays in a higher ranking and doesn't fall as far as past the top 10. But now we can see this club starting the season worse than last season.

But my disappointment is not limited to Chelsea alone. But I am also very disappointed with Man Utd and Newcastle. At least I understand Chelsea's bad results because the Blues have been inconsistent since last season. But the bad results shown by Newcastle and Man Utd clearly disappointed me more.

Newcastle may have fixed that by winning the game against Brentford. But Man Utd seems to be getting worse after losing heavily to Brighton with a score of 3-1. But I believe that towards the middle of the season these two clubs will start adding point by point and start to climb into the top 10 rankings again. But I have doubts about Chelsea.

Trossard became the player who brought Arsenal to get 3 points from this match, the goal he created in the 69th minute was the only goal scored in this match. I agree that they should have won the match by at least 2 goals, but this result is also worth being grateful for because it was enough to lead them to victory.
I saw some difficulties when they penetrated the defense built by the opponent, they must be more creative in building attacks, so that the difficulties they feel in this match are slightly reduced. Because they controlled the game, but the ball was more in the 3/4 area before entering the opponent's defense deeper.

Everton were defeated at home by Arsenal finally after a very long time. It would not have been a good result for arsenal if they dominated the possessions as they did and had more corner kicks in the game but still lost the game. Everton's coach will be under pressure because of the number of games the teams have lost this season. Everton's defense was strong if not they would have been scored more goals, they defended as best as they could, but Arsenal was able to score still in a moment. Good game but bad results for Everton
