Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Hyphen(-)]

Ten Hag debut with Manchester United wasn't that successful in the last season but later he did pretty well with the team. This season, the same thing is being done, not a successful start and hopefully things will improve later.

Ten Hag's initial reason for not being successful was a lack of players. The Manchester United management managed to get some of his desired players during the January transfer window, and he did well by winning a Cup and helping Manchester United qualify for the Champions League, but compared to this season, he has no excuse because he is the cause of Manchester United’s poor performance, even though some players were injured.

He succeeded in letting Cristiano Ronaldo and David Degea go at the end of the season; he was given all he needed to sign players, but his relationship with Sancho, who is supposed to help the team now that some players were injured, is causing the team problems, and his substitution is not impressive, just as we have seen in their last match against Brighton.

For Pochettino, he isn't that lucky with the teams he managed and his experience with Chelsea right now is mediocre. After 5 rounds, Chelsea and Manchester United are sitting in the 13th and 14th places. The only teams behind them are prone to relegation

Pochettino was unlucky and joined the Chelsea side at the wrong time. He is a good coach who will surely try his best to put things in place for the team, but I feel that the players also need to improve their individual performances in order to get a better performance because the fans are not happy with their performance so far, and the management of the team has spent a lot of money to bring all these players, and they need good results from them and the coach.

[Majestic-milf]

No wonder they say those that have head don't have cap to wear and those that have the cap doesn't have the head. I'm talking about Manchester United and Chelsea. If Erik has the quality type of players that is under Pochettino in Manchester United, he will undoubtfu win this season no matter what but he doesn't while Pochettino has all the good guys including the favorite that won the world cup but they are losing in the Premier league, to even say that some players were discarded from Chelsea to Manchester United still Chelsea is still under a stuck train station with coal to move in the table.

Manchester United will make a come back, in short the more I look at the situations of Manchester United and Chelsea, Manchester United will recover early than Chelsea only if they do that fast as the season is till early, winning two or three matches will make them recover sharply and if the top 4 begin there losses, it will be an advantage for them.

I doubt that Erik will be able to do much if given the players at Chelsea. Why? They are both confused. Even if Erik is given Chelsea's squad, do you think the player can be able to play in sync? You see how sometimes they play uncoordinated ball probably because the players have not fully adapted the pattern of play at Chelsea. Man UTD have the issue of a weak midfield. We have the likes of Casemiro but we know that age is starting to catch up with him and hes not as agile as before. . Lately, Erik employed the strategy of playing his men out of position but that's still not yielding results.
Chelsea's own case is that the strikers lack that confidence to shoot outside the box. In the game against Bournemouth, Chelsea will have clearly won the game but these players preferred to enter the 18yard box and make impact than from outside. Pochettino and Erik are fast running out of options

[tusandii]

Chelsea's made absolutely no progress and even got worse, even though Chelsea were able to dominate possession of the ball but unfortunately were unable to break through Bournemouth goal.
Its a shame, even though I thought Chelsea would win this match so they could get points and try to move up in the standings, but it seems like its becoming a difficulty for Chelsea at the moment knowing that their performance is decreasing.
If Mauricio Pochettino can not change a new strategy it might be difficult for Chelsea to rise from its current position.

Only being able to achieve one win in five matches is certainly not something the fans expected. The draw result obtained from Bournemouth certainly adds to fans' concerns about the existence of their favorite team being able to compete at the top of the standings. Pochettino was starting to run out of ideas to restore the players' confidence to return to winning ways. Statistically, Chelsea were quite in control of their game but unfortunately they were unable to break into Bournemouth's goal. I'm starting to be pessimistic about seeing the Blues recover and maybe Pochettino will be given an ultimatum by Boehly and it is possible that if we don't get good results in the next few matches then the manager's position will be re-evaluated.

Still with the same discussion and repeatedly, I have actually said that Chelsea will not be able to recover unless they have management or coaches who have the best strategic qualities from past experience and looking at the depth of the players Chelsea bought this season, it is too much money to waste, but It doesn't match what the players have or what I mean by what I said. Chelsea bought players without high quality at quite expensive prices and this was a big mistake that resulted in bad things for this club.
Furthermore, the Chelsea coach is too ambitious to change or overhaul players in large numbers, even key players or old players are also sold, so bad things will also happen because if a club experiences a major change among all the players, it will definitely take a very long time to get chemistry with other new players and the coach. You also have to think, always try the right tactical strategy and all Chelsea want is to get up quickly but in reality that can't be done and it takes a very long time.

[Minor Miner]

I doubt what is worrying Man UTD is just management issues alone, maybe there's something else but if they don't improve, they will drop further than the 13th spot they're in. Maybe hitting 18 or 19 position might be enough to wake them up?

Everything.

The management, coach, and player are the reason why Manchester United can be like this.

Even Manchester United performed so bad, there's no way for Manchester United to hit as low as 18th position, at least they're better than Everton, Luton Town, and Sheffield United. It really looks impossible for big team to get relegated and play in league two.

Difficult times ahead. Looking at their long list of injured players, I can't help but think about the tough road Onana will face at Manchester United. It's probably a good moment to reconsider their defensive strategy, or else, ManU will keep facing defeat. They don't have a player who can turn the game around, and unfortunately, that's lacking in their current lineup.

It's not just that Onana is doing bad things. Manchester United's overall performance is very poor. The performance of the attacking players is also poor. However, their defense has less experienced players. This affects the entire gameplay. In 5 matches Manchester United scored only 6 goals and conceded 10 goals. The team also conceded 3 goals against Brighton in the last match. ten Hag's match strategy is very poor. In every match we see poor performances from United.

The performance of the players seems to have no specific match strategy and no specific goals. There is no possibility of seeing Manchester United team in the top four of the table to perform like this. If Manchester United fail in the Champions League and fail to qualify for the round of 16, then the United management may decide to sack Ten hag.

I thought after the game against Liverpool that Chelsea is on a good way and did the right things to improve enough to at least be somewhat competitive. They have been the better team against Liverpool, played with high accuracy and good drive and passing to constantly keep Liverpool under pressure. But Liverpool is the team that used that game against Chelsea to analyze everything and learn from it whereas Chelsea is exactly where they stopped last season. When a team gets 1 out of 6 points in two games against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, what is their goal for the season supposed to be? It can't be the Champions League qualification. It can't be any of the UEFA qualifiers. Good for them that the teams behind them are that bad, but Burnley has two games less and Luton Town has one game less. Imagine what the table looks like when they win a few points in those games.
I would really like to know what's going on in the head of Todd Boehly and whether he is already desperate or still positive about the future.

One of the reasons for Chelsea's poor performance was their management. Chelsea's performance started to weaken mainly after the change of management. And last season they failed to even be in the top 10 of the points table. And they are trying hard to stabilize the team. Despite changing coaches several times, Chelsea's performance has been poor. And Pochettino has coached Chelsea this season. Pochettino is also unable to stabilize this team. The team has to be defeated even against a weak team. It is not certain whether Chelsea will change their coach again, giving Pochettino another chance. But I would say Pochettino should be given a full season.

Chelsea is struggling already and the games against Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle, Tottenham and Manchester United are all coming. I don't expect them to get a lot of points from those games. There is also Aston Villa and Brighton, which is anything but a guaranteed win for Chelsea. As of now I am of the impression that they could be beaten by any team in the Premier League and I guess a loss against Nottingham Forst at Stamford Bridge underpins that impression. They are probably out of ideas and are trying to come up with some solution, but nothing comes to fruition.

Chelsea are not performing well against weak opponents. Against Manchester City, Arsenal, United and Newcastle, Chelsea are unlikely to do well and pick up points. Coach Pochettino must find his squad's weaknesses very quickly. A plus point for Chelsea is that they are not performing in the Champions League or the Europa League. They will have an opportunity to focus only on the Premier League. The team has enough time and opportunity to do well in the Premier League. However, it is Poch's fault if coach Pochettino fails to capitalize on this opportunity. But with the way they have performed so far, it seems unlikely that the team will get to the top of the table or stabilize very soon.

[Oluwa-btc]

With the current performance of Man UTD, I'm beginning to wonder if their recent 6 signings are even worth it. They have gone on to lose games and even confidence which brings me to believe that Erik has lost the ability to bring glory to Man UTD.
Brighton went to the home of dreams during the weekend and turned it to a nightmare for them and since their win last season in the Carabao Cup against Brighton, they have not regained form.
 Another flop buy to me is Cameroonian keeper, Onana who has not been impressive and his performance had made fans to compare him with David de Gea. Funny part is, the same fans who feel the Spaniard is getting old are now wishing he was still with them because he won't have conceded ten goals in just five matches.
I doubt what is worrying Man UTD is just management issues alone, maybe there's something else but if they don't improve, they will drop further than the 13th spot they're in. Maybe hitting 18 or 19 position might be enough to wake them up?

If you've followed closely, you'll notice Manchester United players have been injured, from Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane to Wan Bisakka, Mason Mount and others which can be lined up as a backup team for Erik Ten Hag.
Brighton lose was hurting and touching. Now it's Bayern Munich ahead, let's focus on that.

Good football game viewers knows Onana is a Great Goalkeeper and same for David De Gea. But comparison and stuff's won't save the results. Onana is a good gaolie, all that's needs is the organization of the defenders. Onana thrives with a good defense.
Those bashing him know nothing about the qualities, composure and passing qualities he brought into Manchester United backline.

They won't go below, some consistent performance and they'll be back in the Premier League clubs occupying the first four positions.

[Iroh]

Alot of football fans are already writing Manchester united off because of the multiple in number of their players that are currently on injury and haven't played for a while now,  resulting I to the declining results that Manchester United have recorded in recent time in the premier league,  the club have put a lot of efforts in place but then situations have warrant the club to have failed out in their recent performance.

So at that we have to give the club enough time to come up with a formidable team that can stand against any oppositions that may come up along the line.

Some fans and supporters of Man United, in their righteous demand for a better performance from the club could have their belief and support in the club shaken perhaps a bit hastily when the club doesn’t perform as brilliantly as expected. Although, I think it’s a bit early to begin to write off Man United, I can understand the frustration felt by supporters who have begun to do so.

It’s obvious Man United’s performance has not been top notch and having lost the majority of the total games played so far, it’s not a bit comforting.
When there’s little to nothing to go by, I guess there’s always hope for a much better performance.

I agree about this change of ownership surely have big impact on Chelsea performance because new owner completely fail to compete things as these were going into form owner era and too much interference from them are hurting this one of the best club in Premier League badly even right now Pochettino is doing his best, and he also understands the chemistry of this all failure he needs to settle this all which is more important.

But, this all is surely needs time and long term strategy now here good time for the management to give time and keep calm if they want to have better results otherwise things can go from bad to worse as well in this current situation if they bought Mbappé then surely things can't be change because we all know this is not one man show it's 11 players game and this all need good chemistry between players for having good results.

[Tony116]

After a series of bad results for the Chelsea team at the start of this season, will the team management fire Mauricio Pochettino?
Indeed, it is still early but there has been no visible improvement in the team's performance since the start of the season and by spending a lot of money in the transfer market, Mauricio Pochettino is to blame for the team's current poor performance.
Chelsea fans are certainly very disappointed with their current team which has only won 1 win from the 5 matches the team has played at the start of the Premier League season.
And in my opinion, management must immediately improve so that this team doesn't get worse.

It's still too early to blame a coach like Mauricio Pochettino even though Chelsea still haven't had good results this season because one win is really not enough for a team as big as Chelsea. But at least the team management must give Mauricio Pochettino more time in terms of making the Chelsea team's performance better, because Chelsea wouldn't be better if Mauricio Pochettino was immediately fired at the start of this season just because of four bad matches at Chelsea.

Chelsea should have fired the coach a long time ago. In my opinion, the squad was never really bad. The worst decision that they ever made recently was definitely the decision of firing Tuchel from the manager position. I thought he was doing pretty well with Chelsea. After firing him, they did not have any coach that were actually able to bring any result that was even close to what he was bringing. Trying to look for an upgrade, they actually made themselves downgraded. It is high time they should get a coach like Zidane or someone like him, who actually has good experience of managing big clubs.

[fullhdpixel]

I wanna say Chelsea did try a lot to win this match against Bournemouth. But they were unable to break the deadlock. I honestly thought that Chelsea would probably be able to win this match even though I talk a lot of trash about Chelsea currently. But Chelsea definitely did not succeed in winning. Probably we have to say like you that Chelsea was able to get at least one point from this match, and that is the positive that they have to take right now. Because it is hard to take away any positives from any match that Chelsea plays at this moment.

Chelsea tried and you can see that Pochettino is trying to instill in the team the character of winners, but after a series of bad and terrible matches last season, the players apparently do not believe in themselves and now this is the main task for Pochettino for the season.
Of course, they need to score and preferably score a lot to make the team believe in themselves, but for now a draw will be fine for Chelsea. Losing to a team like Bournemouth would weaken the players' self-belief even more.

In general, there is no quick way out of the crisis for Chelsea, the team is struggling to find itself and even one point in this situation will be helpful.

There are the best remarks I have about Chelsea there is no easy way for them, it's going to take time for the change of mindset and having better results from these players which lost their confidence in last season they have enough quality and good skills but sadly lost their confidence and now Pochettino is doing his best but still its need time for setting all problems.

In early five games they have five points with just one win against newly promoted side Luton in last game against Bournemouth they tried their best but sadly their attack was really impressive struggling Chelsea attack which is lack of confidence despite having good quality and skilled players, but surely things could be change even this all will be taken time.

What's happening to both managers are different issues all together because when it comes to Manchester United they have so many issues that can even drive the manager mad, I mean how can you have such a good squad but you have no idea where the problem is coming from and he can't handle it at the moment. I think there's a division in that squad because Rashford has become a one man squad that's being selfish.

For the Chelsea coach, I think he has so many injury prone players in his team and those are better players to balance the team, if his attack is ok then the squad is good to go. I think they're going to find it hard to blend because the team is like a brand new team and they're just running round the field without aiming for goal. They shouldn't rely on Jackson because he has never been a proper number 9, so he needs all the help he could get from both the midfielders and wingers.

They won't go below, some consistent performance and they'll be back in the Premier League clubs occupying the first four positions.

If we begin to use injuries of Man UTD players as an excuse for their weak performance of late, what about Chelsea who have 12 of their players injured? The game at Brighton saw them playing at their wits end and to top it off, Rashford just had to be greedy. I'm not trying to bash anyone or dredge up the past as regards David de Gea but I feel all hands need to be on deck; not just the defense. Onana is a good keeper but if he'd want to avoid more goals denting his records, he'd need to come out less and not forget he's a keeper whenever he feels like trying out skills else they may be punished for it by  Bayern Munich and they might not be lenient.

[Leviathan.007]

Ten Hag and Pochettino must immediately give their best to the team they care for, they must improve their team's performance to achieve positive results. Victory is really needed to improve their team's position in the standings list as well as save their careers from the threat of dismissal.

Ten Hag debut with Manchester United wasn't that successful in the last season but later he did pretty well with the team. This season, the same thing is being done, not a successful start and hopefully things will improve later.
For Pochettino, he isn't that lucky with the teams he managed and his experience with Chelsea right now is mediocre. After 5 rounds, Chelsea and Manchester United are sitting in the 13th and 14th places. The only teams behind them are prone to relegation

Ten Hag is the coach who saved Mancshrer United in the last season after they had bad results and bad performances with other coaches, even though we know Ten Hag was not the coach who started the season and didn't select players to buy, still, Ten Hag, had good performance in the last season with Manchester United, however, they were unstable in some games.
Now the reason for Manchester United's bad performance in some games is still not Ten Hag, it's about the players they bought in this summer.

So, I can agree with you to some extent, Manchester United was going through a very bad period while Giggs was managing the club. When Tan Hag arrived, the team was able to achieve stability from time to time. They were able to enter the Champions League and had a good ranking in the league. I think the problem with the players this year can be overcome. People should not harass Eric Tan Hag too much because he is trying to create the team structure in the best possible way, no matter what the circumstances. Sanchez and Anthony players being left out of the squad and other injured players were major factors that made Manchester United not start the season well.

[Docnaster]

In early five games they have five points with just one win against newly promoted side Luton in last game against Bournemouth they tried their best but sadly their attack was really impressive struggling Chelsea attack which is lack of confidence despite having good quality and skilled players, but surely things could be change even this all will be taken time.

Considering the amount of money that was spent by the management of Chelsea in the just closed summer transfer window, I don't think sounds ridiculous and awkward hear that Chelsea is struggling to win a game against Bournemouth.
Mauricio Pochettino I know understands why he was brought to replace for Chelsea manager Harry Potter after a very poor season he had with the club. I also know that Pochettino isn't a magician and needs some time to find the best playing for the club but the earlier he begins to get good results for the club the better for him

[Leviathan.007]

A few ago I thought only Antony's case was just about one woman and the bad behaviors of this player but now I saw on the news there were three women related to this case.
A few hours ago one of these three women said she didn't want to follow this case and it seems this is a piece of good news for Antony and especially for Manchester United maybe they can use this player in the future.

There is only one match on the schedule today. Nottingham Forest will play Burnley at home. Burnley have played 3 matches in the Premier League so far and have not won any points. They were champions in the Championship. But they started the season very badly in the Premier League. Vincent Kompany has not yet adapted his team to the Premier League. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest got 2 wins in the first 4 weeks. Also, they beat Chelsea last week. Their league defeats came against Arsenal and Manchester United. They started the season really well. In my opinion Nottingham Forest will be the favorites of the match.

[Jateng]

Tottenham have played really well so far. They were not able to win the first match. They got only one point from the first match, but after that they have been able to successfully win every match and so far. They are currently in second position on the table. But the season still has a long way to go. so we cannot say that they are going to perform well consistently throughout the season just by watching the first four matches. But we definitely have to give them credit for starting the season well.

Tottenham season has shown potential under their new management With Richarlison recent exploits. I Think Their late extra time goal in their close victory over Sheffield, though highlights their inconsistent play. They can surpass rivals like Sheffield, but they still need to increase the effectiveness of their goal scoring. Instead of domination, this match demonstrated good fortune. There is hope that Tottenham can compete for a top-four berth this season despite potential future setbacks but their performance is unpredictable.

[Silence Scream]

I thought after the game against Liverpool that Chelsea is on a good way and did the right things to improve enough to at least be somewhat competitive. They have been the better team against Liverpool, played with high accuracy and good drive and passing to constantly keep Liverpool under pressure. But Liverpool is the team that used that game against Chelsea to analyze everything and learn from it whereas Chelsea is exactly where they stopped last season. When a team gets 1 out of 6 points in two games against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, what is their goal for the season supposed to be? It can't be the Champions League qualification. It can't be any of the UEFA qualifiers. Good for them that the teams behind them are that bad, but Burnley has two games less and Luton Town has one game less. Imagine what the table looks like when they win a few points in those games.
I would really like to know what's going on in the head of Todd Boehly and whether he is already desperate or still positive about the future.

One of the reasons for Chelsea's poor performance was their management. Chelsea's performance started to weaken mainly after the change of management. And last season they failed to even be in the top 10 of the points table. And they are trying hard to stabilize the team. Despite changing coaches several times, Chelsea's performance has been poor. And Pochettino has coached Chelsea this season. Pochettino is also unable to stabilize this team. The team has to be defeated even against a weak team. It is not certain whether Chelsea will change their coach again, giving Pochettino another chance. But I would say Pochettino should be given a full season.

Chelsea is struggling already and the games against Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle, Tottenham and Manchester United are all coming. I don't expect them to get a lot of points from those games. There is also Aston Villa and Brighton, which is anything but a guaranteed win for Chelsea. As of now I am of the impression that they could be beaten by any team in the Premier League and I guess a loss against Nottingham Forst at Stamford Bridge underpins that impression. They are probably out of ideas and are trying to come up with some solution, but nothing comes to fruition.

Chelsea are not performing well against weak opponents. Against Manchester City, Arsenal, United and Newcastle, Chelsea are unlikely to do well and pick up points. Coach Pochettino must find his squad's weaknesses very quickly. A plus point for Chelsea is that they are not performing in the Champions League or the Europa League. They will have an opportunity to focus only on the Premier League. The team has enough time and opportunity to do well in the Premier League. However, it is Poch's fault if coach Pochettino fails to capitalize on this opportunity. But with the way they have performed so far, it seems unlikely that the team will get to the top of the table or stabilize very soon.

It will be a busy schedule as all the top teams will have matches in Europe. Chelsea must know how to turn this to their advantage. Juventus is doing well in Serie A in the same scenario, but Chelsea has not been able to deliver what was expected. I think they should at least manage to finish the league in the top four this year.

A few ago I thought only Antony's case was just about one woman and the bad behaviors of this player but now I saw on the news there were three women related to this case.
A few hours ago one of these three women said she didn't want to follow this case and it seems this is a piece of good news for Antony and especially for Manchester United maybe they can use this player in the future.

I think if Antony is found not guilty, this situation will not make Antony part of the Man United squad in the near future. Like Mason Greenwood, Man United internal team will take a stand by releasing him in the transfer market. It is also possible that The Red Devils management will release him in the next transfer market. It is difficult to describe United situation in the Ten Hag coaching era, there are many aspects that need to be improved.
