Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[HajiBagi]

There is a lot of tension at Manchester United. The relationship between Erik Ten Hag and Sancho is going sour everyday. I don’t even expect the coach to be tendering apology to players who are at fault and are being punished. In Sancho’s case I think it is normal, these things happen in all clubs but what differentiates them is the approach to resolve these conflict by managers. I hope Erik Ten Hag finds a way to resolve this issues and for all parties to be happy in the end.

Erik ten Hag does a lot of great things, but the situation between him and Sancho is not supposed to be this bad. He should keep in mind that Sancho is the team's top player, and he should take that into account before acting. You would assume that I disliked Erik ten Hag if I claimed that he was to blame for Manchester United's terrible performance, therefore I won't make that claim. I'm not endorsing the player; I'm just speaking the truth as it comes to my mind. A player does need to be punished for misbehaving, but right now, when Manchester United's performance is poor, he should let all of the players to play.

Next time Chelsea are going to play against Fulham in an away game. After getting a critical win against Brighton in the EFL Cup I assume most people will be wondering if there would be another win coming in the Premier League as well. Fulham are also having difficult days recently. Their defense is even worse as they conceded more goals than Chelsea while scoring the same amount.

Chelsea couldn't beat Fulham in their last two head-to-head games in the league. It would be nice to see this streak being broken by Chelsea here. Jackson scored a goal against Brighton so maybe this would make some boost in his self-confidence level to perform much better against Fulham too. I think Chelsea will win by one goal gap.

I'd like to congratulate Chelsea on their recent victory over Brighton. I could tell from their performance yesterday that they were determined to win the game; however, defeating Brighton does not indicate that Chelsea has resumed their usual style of play because, as you know, when a game changes, anything can happen. Yesterday's game change for Chelsea was the reason they defeated Brighton, so Chelsea needs to play well going forward because the position they are in is critical.

One win doesn't mean anything, but I agree it can help the team have more confidence. Chelsea really has to improve after spending a lot of money on it, but in my opinion Pochettino's task is very difficult in the midst of a crisis of confidence among his players. The team's form is still very difficult to hope for but maybe Pochettino still has hope and time to improve it.

The match against Fulham will probably be another benchmark for Chelsea this season and of course Chelsea must win it and avoid losing points. Every win will help the team gain good confidence, I agree Chelsea should try in the next match.

Chelsea 1 - 0 Brighton
Jackson has a goal now but let's see if they can win this game.

The match was very interesting  though at first I never new Chelsea will won the match considering how inform Brighton is but that's the game of football you hardly predict what the outcome will be, I can see that Chelsea team is slowly coming back let's see how there next will look like

[uswa56]

This is what they have been craving for a straightforward win Gernacho and Casemiro scored goals to settle any nerves following this testing period and Anthony added another with this recent performance united is not out of the wood yet but this victory will help with ambrabat making a full debut as an inverted full-back, Mason mount which had also returned from injury and a site of harry maguire back in red shirt and looking commanding in United backline. United are never from a storm but it has been a positive few days after defeating Burnley

I can't conclude anything from their recent performance but what is certain is that I am happy to see Manchester United returning to its positive trend and also hope that this can be consistent.
And it must be admitted that the wins achieved in the last few matches can have quite a big impact on improving the team's mentality and self-confidence, so this is momentum for the Manchester United team to improve to be better even though it is currently in a positive trend so that this team can be much stronger. .

Mauricio Pochettino is out to scout the best performance of Chelsea, atleast he's job is not longer on the line. You're right, one win doesn't really matter in this case, perhaps the team needs all the necessary aides they could be able to lay hands on, and confidence is another thing that will boost the club's performance. Eliminating Brighton from the Carabao Cup, brilliant start for the blues, Jackson scoring the winning goal that made the difference. Chelsea have Fulham this weekend in EPL, I hoped they will be able to force their breakthrough by to winning games just as Liverpool and Arsenal.

Don't pretend that one win covers up the losses you've already had. Brighton clearly wasn't as aggressive in this match as usual, and I'm still sure that if Chelsea played Brighton again in the Premier League the result would be different. In fact, this is usually done by every team that does not have an agenda in the EFL Cup competition. So for Chelsea, don't feel happy yet, because this doesn't mean they are back to their best performance.

I can't conclude anything from their recent performance but what is certain is that I am happy to see Manchester United returning to its positive trend and also hope that this can be consistent.

Likewise with Man United, only here I am quite optimistic compared to seeing Chelsea. Man United is more structured and only needs to adapt their players. In the next match, the Red Devils returned against Crystal Palace and proved that the results in the EFL Cup also had the same impact in the Premier League competition.

Yesterday's game change for Chelsea was the reason they defeated Brighton, so Chelsea needs to play well going forward because the position they are in is critical.

Indeed it was quite a very good one for Chelsea as the win over Brighton yesterday once again brought about smiles on the faces of their fans as in a long while they have not experienced what it feels like to win a game , that joy has taken a very long while since it was last experienced with the team especially as they were at home and won at home.

But then there are still doubts on every side that Chelsea has really improved as this is just the first after a long time, definitely it will take them a win in about three or five games to get people and the fans to a strong conviction that they are resuming their style of play back with an improved performance, I hope they could come up with such spirit in their premier league game

If they should meet Brighton in a premier league game they are most likely not to win maybe a draw because Brighton will definitely play differently as it an entirely different ball game and league all together, Brighton tried in the game against Chelsea yesterday but then it wasn't good enough for them to secure the win in the game.

The only game Kia Havartz have done well is the game against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League group-stage, and  Arteta said in the post-match press conference that he was really connecting in cascade despite the fans reporting that they are starting to get fed up with his (Kia Havartz) performance.
I don't know what need to be done for this player Kia Havartz to get back to the form he had back then when Chelsea won the Champions League, up till this moment is like the man has lost it all, no goals or assist and he's not even playing well.
Is it that Arsenal wasted money on this man Kia Havartz or does he need more time to prove him self?

I think he needs some more time. When we look at his past, he has always played in good teams and his performance is not bad at all. He may not be able to play very well right now, but he has great potential and will start playing well again.
If you are going to play in a team like Arsenal, you must be one of the best. If your role in the team is so important, you must contribute to the team in terms of score. He's getting some attention because he's not very successful right now, but I think he'll start playing much better

The truth is, Havartz doesn't seem to be in form and I am just wondering why Mickel Arteta is confident in putting him on every game that the club plays, even as subs. I guess it is because he wants to continue to give him the chance to prove himself, yet, Havartz isn't living up to promise.

It's been a while since the Arsenal squad become this formidable and that has increased the strength and motivating spirit of each and every player in the team including those sitting on the bench. That has equally increased the level of competition between players as they work together to deliver the team. In this condition, it is easy to fish out any underperforming player right now.

One thing I respect Arteta for is his spirit of sportsmanship. His dedication to carry everyone along and ginger all the players to focus on the goal. Although he has his favorite players but he has continually shown every player sense of belonging. It is not different from the balance he is shown between Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya. Arteta said he was going to rotate between the two goalkeepers and he has applied that in the previous matches where he used David Raya to play the last three matches against Everton, PSV and Tottenham. Raya actually started the Champions league match against PSV which was quite surprising. Now Arteta went ahead to resume Ramsdale in the yesterday's match against Brentford where Arsenal scored a 1-0 win over Brentford. Meaning, Ramsdale is like to play the next match against Bournemouth and other few matches to come before switching to Raya, again.

I find this, fantastic!

After all, I personally think that Manchester United indeed has a great chance to recover after playing in the Champions League against Bayern Munich. Indeed, in that match Manchester United lost, but because Manchester United also managed to make three goal in that match. So of course, the defeat suffered by Manchester United in the Champions League against Bayern Munich is also not a bad result in my judgment. So yes, it is not surprising that Manchester United managed to get another victory in the match against Burnley for the Premier League match. Also, after that, Manchester United won again in the EFL Cup against Crystal Palace, and Manchester United managed to win with clean sheets too.

If they should meet Brighton in a premier league game they are most likely not to win maybe a draw because Brighton will definitely play differently as it an entirely different ball game and league all together, Brighton tried in the game against Chelsea yesterday but then it wasn't good enough for them to secure the win in the game.

Excluding the premier league, Brighton have been bad in every other competition that they have played, the Europa and now the Carabao. Brighton very good chances to score, two gifted to them by the Chelsea goalkeeper, but Brighton still could not take the lead until Jackson's goal. Had Brighton scored first, Chelsea would have been unable to equalize. It was a good result for Chelsea, but they still need to win their next premier league game, this is the competition were they have made their supporters the most frustrating with their position on the table still looking like they will be going down more.

[Zaguru12]

We needed this break because it was looking like nothing is working for us and that can be very frustrating. Cucurella was decent and so were other player especially C. Palmer and I'll love him to be given more strating role by Pochettino. He was the reason Jackson got the first goal and also played a part in the disallowed goal. He was playing the playmaker role very well and the whole game yesterday was interesting to watch. It was the first time I watched Chelsea game in like forever and was satisfied with everybody. The goalkeep also put on his best performance with the saves he made although he cause alot of discomfort to the defense with his mistakes but he still made up for them by saving the ball. It was a great game after all and onto the Fulham game we wait on Monday.

It’s definitely a big relief to Chelsea fans and most importantly to the manager because this ease the tension around him been relieve of his duties and also this team he set out yesterday should give him insight that some of the players lacking game time really need to play more. A clear example is Cole Palmer you mention, he was instrumental at that attacking midfield role but this wasn’t the game I caught a glimpse about him. His debut during the loss to Nottingham were he was brought into that position made think he could actually fit in there. I was surprised that Poch hasn’t started him in that role in the league yet with probably a pivot of Enzo and Caicedo, that would seem like a good midfield to me but Poch isn’t just giving in yet.

The Issue with keepers that play with their foot like Sanchez is that it sometimes unbearable to watch because you feel they would make a mistake which is not inevitable. The risk of conceding cheap goals from this kind of play is problem it has, but the play brings balance and confidence into your team and it gives the team an added advantage. Most modern coaches have grown accustomed to this play but you need to perfect it and that also depends on the nature of defenders the team has. A defender who is not confident on the ball might be a problem in set up like this. Also the goalkeeper must have to back his balling ability with a better shot stopping reflexes if not the whole thing will just be a waste of everyone’s time.

Maybe Brighton is like Real Madrid in Champions League or Sevilla in Europa League where they turn strong in specific league?

Brighton had a bad results against Aston Villa, they only won once time from 11 matches. But considering how good is Brighton in this season, I think they will able to beat Aston Villa in their own home.

Agree that Chelsea's victory could increase the team's confidence and provide a positive boost to its performance. Getting Brighton out of the Carabao Cup is a great achievement and could be a great start for Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino,
In the next match against Fulham in (EPL), Chelsea has the opportunity to build positive momentum, and I think they must be able to win this match, to be able to increase the confidence of the players and coaches, because I believe Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino just need time to recover. his success. club

[ancafe]

Mauricio Pochettino should be relieved from his duties as headcoach before things starts blowing out of proportion, we know how crucial and important the growth of Chelsea is to everyone. Watching these new players having no single positive contributions to the team have really spelt out the dangerous the complaints of the fans, everyone wants what's best for the club. Chelsea at their worst form, the supporters clearly understands that, Todd Boehly have made the significant signings he thought would be better for the club, but things doesn't change, only reluctant results.

There comes a time when management has to make a decision to fire the coach and currently Mauricio Pochettino's condition is under great pressure because he is unable to make a significant difference from the previous coach. Even though Todd Boehly has spent a lot of money looking for the players he needs, unfortunately Mauricio Pochettino has not been able to make the dreams of the club owner and Chelsea fans come true.

Next week they will face Fulham and this should be a revival point for Chelsea to get out of a series of negative results in every match they have played. If Mauricio Pochettino is unable to produce positive results in the next few matches, then Chelsea's position in the standings will deteriorate even further and will make his position vulnerable to dismissal.

Chelsea finally won against someone and against Brighton that is better and better each season. Maybe with this win Chelsea will wake up finally in the premier league and start making good results. Was expecting that Brighton wins against Chelsea but it looks like Brighton is only good in the premier league.

I can't conclude anything from their recent performance but what is certain is that I am happy to see Manchester United returning to its positive trend and also hope that this can be consistent.
And it must be admitted that the wins achieved in the last few matches can have quite a big impact on improving the team's mentality and self-confidence, so this is momentum for the Manchester United team to improve to be better even though it is currently in a positive trend so that this team can be much stronger. .

To expect the team to become stronger and more competitive, there are several conditions that the team must fulfill. Some of them are experienced coaches and have good skills, they have good players to defend, they also have to have quality midfielders and have strikers who have abilities above the average of other strikers.

I don't see that Manchester United has fulfilled everything, but this team can still develop much better and manage it gradually. Ten Hag must have a good plan to restore Manchester United's performance, but it is not an easy job considering that other teams also have similar plans. But I might agree that Manchester United is still better than Chelsea, but they are still equally bad compared to Liverpool and Arsenal especially this early in the season.

Winning narrowly in the EFL Cup Round 3 when they hosted Brighton was not a revival for Chelsea because in the Premier League Chelsea were still suffering a lot in finding victory in the match. And we will see how Chelsea play at home to Fulham later because in general Fulham have not been very good at the start of this season so their match in the near future might be fierce because Fulham will definitely try to win in front of their own supporters and Chelsea is also starting to have motivation to get a win there after being able to win in the EFL Cup Round 3 over Brighton.

So yes, it is not surprising that Manchester United managed to get another victory in the match against Burnley for the Premier League match. Also, after that, Manchester United won again in the EFL Cup against Crystal Palace, and Manchester United managed to win with clean sheets too.

That is quite reasonable, as you said and from what I have seen in yesterday's Champions League match against Bayern Munich, Manchester United there managed to give a performance that I thought was quite good, they were able to win three goals until the end of the match, although well the victory is still in Bayern Munich with 4 goals ahead of Ten Hag's squad. Honestly I would not say that this is still a bad result for the Red Devils, but in my opinion this is enough to show their improvement that it is very possible that Manchester United will be able to rise again in the Premier League.

With some of the wins they have managed to get at the end of this season as you mentioned, I think it is indeed very possible that Ten Hag's squad will bounce back from the bad performance that slowly made them slump and fall to the bottom. Nothing is impossible, the season is still quite long and I hope they will continue to maintain this kind of performance to move back up in the race.

Chelsea won against big teams like Brighton. Chelsea secured a narrow 1-0 win. Even though Chelsea won this match, I don't think their performance improved much. Chelsea's performance is still quite weak. Even in this match, Chelsea could not dominate the match. However, a win against Brighton will probably boost the confidence of the Chelsea players. If the players are confident then maybe we will see better performances from Chelsea players in the coming matches. However, the bond between Chelsea players is not strong. This is the reason why despite having a lot of talented players in the team, their performance is poor. It will be challenging for Chelsea to get full points in the away match against Fulham.

Brighton very good chances to score, two gifted to them by the Chelsea goalkeeper, but Brighton still could not take the lead until Jackson's goal.

Brighton had a bad results against Aston Villa, they only won once time from 11 matches. But considering how good is Brighton in this season, I think they will able to beat Aston Villa in their own home.

It seems yes, they prefer to focus on certain leagues as their main goal to achieve the best position, and I think it was also done by the two teams that you mentioned above, and the strategy in my opinion is far better than focusing all energy for all League but they don't get any results at the end of the season.

But Aston Villa is also not bad at the beginning of the season, although they have a long distance far in the standings I personally predict that Aston Villa can win the match against Brighton at their meeting this time, considering the results of their head to head meetings so far, But this time Brighton might have the opportunity to change that history this week.
