Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[nelson4lov]

Leandro Trossard was very effective, I think he should start in the first 11 in the following weeks so that you can give more benefit to the team. The goal he scored was beautiful, he threw it into the corner without waiting, the corner technique worked well for Arsenal this time. They cannot win as easily as Manchester City. If they are going to compete with City, Arsenal should have stronger results and more comfortable wins than that, but it was a good match, the team is getting better.

If it is confirmed that Martineli is injured, it would offer Trossard a unique opportunity to get a spot in the starting line up and fight for a place in this Arsenal team. Overall, it was a good game but close-margin games like this won't cut it for them in the long run especially if they're up against like Liverpool that can steal a win from your noses deep into stoppage time.

From what I have seen so far from Arsenal, they're no where near their 2022/2023 best.

[abhiseshakana]

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.

Arsenal played quite well in this match and they managed to bag 3 points, but I agree with you, Arsenal should have won by more than 1 goal. Arsenal actually dominated the game but Everton has a tight defense and that's why Arsenal is having a little trouble penetrating the opponent's defense line in the first half. Even though Arsenal could only win narrowly but they still got 3 points which took them to 4th place.

Chelsea and Manchester united are in the same exact condition. The blues performance is purely mediocre and having these players, playing like novice.  

I think Chelsea and Manchester united problems are separate issues. For Chelsea; they have a new disjointed team of promising players with little experience, and few quality players in the team; this leads to conflicting performances in the team. For Manchester United; it is more of a tactical problem than injuries; Ten Hag is getting exposed tactically; and deserves the blame; he can only deflect the pressure for a while.

Arsenal have played optimally it's just that Everton implemented a double defense so Arsenal had a little difficulty in scoring goals luckily Arsenal managed to secure 3 points. Ayway, almost all the favorite teams won this week except Manchester United and Chelsea and both teams continue to have bad records. We clearly see the battle between the 3 clubs in the standings, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal all clubs collected 13 points while Manchester City has not been shaken at the top of the standings.

Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City have basically struggled to win their respective games this week. Arsenal drew in the first half, then they managed to take a 1 goal lead in the second half until the match ended. Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City actually conceded first and managed to gain good momentum to recover in the second half. However, it is true that the top 4 teams got satisfactory results this week.

Meanwhile, Manchester United and Chelsea are still unable to recover from their downturn. Chelsea is the worst of the two with only winning 1 match from the 5 matches they played. It is clear that this bad result has put them under great pressure, who inevitably have to try to renovate their shortcomings in each future match. But Pochettino seems to be starting to realize that building a truly strong team for Chelsea is not as easy as he thought.

Even though Arsenal could only win narrowly but they still got 3 points which took them to 4th place.

Everton knew that Arsenal is going to give them a good beating and that is why they focus more on the center field and defense but Arsenal was successfully penetrated through and later had their goal that gave them 3 points and they remain unbeaten since the season started. The race is still on and they have not lt down their guards but what I'm wishing on is to see them on the same level with Manchester City or even be above, that way they can compete with them to win the league this season but as it seems now, Arsenal are not the only teams with the ambition, Liverpool and Tottenham share the same point and they are still on the race to have the same point with Arsenal.

I hope that Martineli injury is not that serious, Trossard is a great guy but more of a Midfielder than winger to me, even in the Champions League squad, Arteta appointed him to play midfield and Martineli remains of his best forward, if the injury turn out to be a serious one, the chance of Arsenal to win the Champions League will be minimal. It was similar thing thag happen to them they couldn't win the Premier League last season because of Jesus injury, it wouldn't be funny if that repeat again.

But Pochettino seems to be starting to realize that building a truly strong team for Chelsea is not as easy as he thought.

When Chelsea can't win with a weak team what about the next match; Aston Villa? It is indeed a home match but we know that Chelsea has lost at home to Nottingham Forest, so if they meet a stronger team again then I doubt Chelsea as a bet in the market.

Bounemouth should have won but they were held to a draw the dominance of the game was clearly controlled by Chelsea but never found a goal gap for this victory, currently Chelsea is in a strategy crisis, right? Pochettino will surely realize that his current team has really not recovered despite high spending.

[EFS]

Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City have basically struggled to win their respective games this week. Arsenal drew in the first half, then they managed to take a 1 goal lead in the second half until the match ended.

I don't think they struggled at all. Everton was never a threat to Arsenal for whole game. Only 1 goal win but that's enough for 3 points. It was a beautiful goal by the way. Everton didn't have the ball, didn't have a dangerous shot, didn't have a good striker to score. They may be relegated at the end of the season with this game.
Manchester City also won without any trouble. You can feel that they could eventually find a winning goal even though it came late.

[Mate2237]

All top Premier League team won on matchday 5 except Manchester United and Chelsea still underperformance, United loss from Brighton Albion and Chelsea still difficult for winning from Bournemouth after both team have getting one points. For matchday 5 left match between Nott Forest vs Burnley and waiting with Burnley tactician Vincent Kompany will success first three points after playing three match and never winning yet.
For top standings still manage by Manchester City have remaining two points from Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Arsenal, Manchester City is the only team without loss points yet in five Premier League matches, who can stopping The Citizen winning record?

I support Manchester United to win Brighton Albion yesterday and I loss out. the thing pains me. I was not expecting Brighton Albion to win Manchester United. The whole 3-1 against Manchester United. A friend of mine told me not to support Manchester United because he knew that Brighton Albion will defeat them and I refused thinking that Man U would will the game. I have learned my lesson, that anything Man U, I am not interested. Instead, I will bet against them. The way I see Brighton Albion playing yesterday, they might play the final match because they were good on the pitch.

[KingsDen]

Me and my club (MANCHESTER UNITED) this season
I was unable to watch Manchester United vs Brighton this weekend because of so many engagements. But then I was always checking the flash scores. Although I didn't expect Manchester United to win because Brighton is more in form and coordinated than Manchester United. I am seeing many problems in my club but it seems that people are not concerned or they are not aware of the problems Manchester United is facing. See problems as;

• The Glazers managerial problems
•   ETH's inconsistent tactics
•   Selfishness of players like Rashford
•   Unavailability of some players

These problems need to be solved for Manchester United to be successful in this  season.

It was similar thing thag happen to them they couldn't win the Premier League last season because of Jesus injury, it wouldn't be funny if that repeat again.

It was good to see that Arsenal remained patient because they controlled the game almost all the time and the ball hardly left Everton's half of the pitch, which is why Arsenal knew that one successful attack will do the job. They didn't lose patience and kept playing their attacks with strategy and did not fall back on long balls hoping for the one lucky header. They have tried to find the gap in the defense line and the moment when Everton was showing some exhaustion and loss in concentration they played perfect ping pong through the defense and Trossard scored a perfect one touch goal.

[Coyster]

Manchester City also won without any trouble. You can feel that they could eventually find a winning goal even though it came late.

Well, West Ham did cause City some problems (not much though), as is typical of West Ham they were a threat on the counter, they'll sit back, soak pressure, and whenever they break it is very dangerous, and that was how they got their goal. City controlled the game even though at one point it seemed as if they were going to share the points. Having said that, City still have their 100% record, the rest of the league would not like this, City have won three EPL titles in a row, if they make it four it'll mean the EPL is now somewhat of a farmer's league.

[KTChampions]

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.

5 points after 5 rounds is completely fucked up, of course   I don’t think that the parallel failures of United and Newcastle somehow reassure Chelsea fans because it was supposed that this would be a season for them with a complete focus on the Premier League (while other clubs are putting their energy into European competition), but so far there is nothing but failures. And I don’t think that Pochettino has time until January, if the team does not start defeating at least weak and average opponents, he will be fired.

If you want to bet on Chelsea, then you have to realize that you have to be prepared to lose money.
Chelsea continually fail to win games that they can basically win, but Pochettino still seems to have difficulty coming up with a good strategy for his team to play well and win.

I also don't know why Pochettino doesn't try playing Sterling as a left winger but he tends to play him as a right winger. Sterling is good on the left and Pochettino should know that, so it's true that Chelsea is currently in a strategic crisis even though they have a lot of expensive players.

Everton did not threaten Arsenal with a lot of shots on goal, nor did they threaten with a high percentage of ball possession, but their defense and goalkeeper performance really put Arsenal in danger of dropping points if Leandro Trossard did not break the deadlock. But of course it's true, 1 goal is enough to lock in 3 points this week.

Whoever is responsible for transfer decisions and squad engineering needs to say goodbye. If United spend 200 million euros and they should get one of the likes of haaland, bellingham, mbappe and kane instead of mount, onana and hojlund. Or do not miss out on Cancelo or get the boys from Napoli at least. The club's internal technical team can neither bring in players from the youth system, nor develop existing players, nor adapt newcomers quickly.

[baeva]

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

I don't think this is a case where you can exhale over a draw. Bournemouth are a place lower in the table than Chelsea, it's the second half of the table.... Chelsea have to get out of there somehow, but every time they do, it's disappointing. Bournemouth played too freely, which only proves Chelsea's weakness at the moment....

[Hyphen(-)]

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.

If you know the history behind Arsenal's performance against Everton at Goodison Park, you will confirm that Arsenal tried, as they were able to win the match today.

Considering last season’s Arsenal performance, Everton managed to beat Arsenal at this same venue, and they were battling for relegation then. Today’s win is an important one for Arsenal because they finally have a win against Everton at Goodison Park after six years.

With the way Arsenal played today, they can face any team without fear because they have all the players they need in the team. For them not to score more than two goals is because of the nature of the opponents and the pressure behind the Arsenal team against Everton. So many people were thinking that history would repeat itself, but the players showed momentum, and the result is in their favor.

I didn't regret Chelsea dropping points in previous matches. But I was very disappointed with Chelsea's performances against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. Chelsea lost 1-0 against Nottingham Forest and today drew goalless against Bournemouth. Today's match at least I expected better performance from Chesley. But as usual Chelsea's performance was very poor. The performance of Chelsea's attacking players was poor. The performance of the players made me feel like they were aimless. They have no match strategy. Coach Pochettino has failed so far. There was nothing he could demonstrate to prove his ability. Chelsea management may be looking for a new coach again.

If there is anyone to blame, then I agree that Pochettino definitely deserves the blame. His strategy did not make Chelsea better in some of matches in terms of performance, of course that is a shortcoming that will reduce Pochettino's time as coach. There is no proof from him, as he said before, that he can restore Chelsea's performance and make them compete at the top, but in fact he has still failed so far.

We all know that Chelsea has spent so much money, but as we can see that it is just in vain. Chelsea's biggest disadvantage this season is that they don't have many players including strikers who are able to change the game for the better.

[boltz]

Such a hard knuckle was Everton today right ? Arsenal had a lot of scoring chances but Everton defenders were on point today and I think a draw should have been the correct result to happen. Nevertheless , Arsenal did was they always do and that was to attack until the last minute which eventually led them to score in minute 69 and secure 3 important points.

EPL start of the season is a great one so far and if this trend continues , we might have a battle in 3 for the title until the end of the season with City , Arsenal and Spurs even if most of you won't agree with me that Spurs can fight for the title this year.

We clearly see the battle between the 3 clubs in the standings, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal all clubs collected 13 points while Manchester City has not been shaken at the top of the standings.

Every time the Gunners visit Goodison Park, Everton's headquarters. Not infrequently, Arsenal always finds it difficult to overthrow this team. Last season, at the first meeting at Everton's headquarters, Arsenal even had difficulty breaking into Everton's goal even though Arsenal controlled the game and had ball possession. In fact, Arsenal lost at that time with a narrow score of 1-0. In this match, the Gunners were again in trouble against Everton.
Moreover, as we all know. Sean Dyche, always uses his bus parking formation. In this match, he applied a similar system pattern when he met the Gunners. Arsenal actually had several opportunities, but fortunately the Everton goalkeeper was able to deny them. Fortunately for Arsenal, a combination of fast ball transitions between Odegaard, Saka, and continued by Trossard, which resulted in Arsenal's winning goal. With this result, Arsenal moved up one place above Brighton.

For Manchester United and Chelsea, these two teams need improvements to improve their performance. if not, don't expect to be able to compete at the top of the Premier League standings. Liverpool, got positive results and this will increase the motivation of Jurgen Klopp's squad. for City, we don't need to mention it. and what is quite special is Tottenham, without Kane they were able to occupy 2nd place in the standings. The following week, it will be a tough match for Spurs who visit the Gunners headquarters. This match should present an interesting match.
