Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[abhiseshakana]

Why do you only look at the Manchester United team in the last 2 matches between these two teams, in fact we have a different possibility as to why Manchester United could lose even though in the match a few days earlier against Crystal Palace they could also win, I think it's because the Crystal Palace team play with different strengths.
Ten Hag cannot be completely blamed because the Manchester United team's situation is very bad right now, Ten Hag doesn't have many choices because many Man United players are injured.

They got different results though their opponents were the same team. Those matches have just occurred, so I think it portrays their current performance and it is the easiest assessment material that Ten Hag can use to carry out evaluations. Losing is the responsibility of the entire team but so as not to repeat the same mistakes and lose again, the coach must make a change and have the courage to get rid of players who are hampering the rhythm of the game.

The manager is the person most responsible for everything that happens to his team. Erik Ten Hag must not look for excuses due to the defeat suffered by his team. It is true that injuries to a number of players are a bit of an obstacle for him, but a team doesn't just have eleven players.

In the declining situation and condition of the Manchester United team, it seems that there are other things that are also of serious concern to the manager. I agree that ETH dares to get rid of players who can hinder the team's performance. I also see that currently the Red Devils don't seem to have a true leader on the field, this of course has a big impact on the team. If the former Ajax coach was able to find a leader on the field, perhaps his performance would improve. Bruno Fernandez looks like he deserves to be kept in my spare bank for a few matches, he is very selfish and complains a lot, his attitude is not worthy of being a role model for other players.

It seems that Crystal Palace learned from yesterday defeat and tried to improve their strategy to be able to break down Manchester United defense and I noticed that the formation used by Crystal Palace previously was different when they were beaten by Manchester United in the League Cup, the formation currently used is the same as that used by Manchester United, namely 4-2-3-1 whereas previously 4-2-2 might have been a big influence for Crystal Palace when using this formation.

Manchester United found it difficult to equalize even though they dominated the ball game and the 19 shots that Manchester United took were not on target so the Red Devils had to accept defeat and Crystal Palace was able to take full points thanks to Crystal Palace victory is now in 9th position just above Manchester United with earned 11 points.

The club has fulfilled all of Ten Hag wishes to improve Manchester United performance, including bringing in new goalkeeper Onana. Manchester United performance is still below expectations even though they have brought in quality players in the transfer market, Ten Hag has not yet found the best strategy to restore Manchester United performance to the same as in the first season he set foot at Old Trafford. Three wins and four defeats is not a good achievement for Manchester United this season, the last defeat to Crystal Palace was very difficult for supporters to accept because it happened at their proud stadium.

Ten Hag credibility in managing Manchester United is starting to be doubted due to losing too easily to a team whose player quality is lower than the player material that Manchester United has. Ten Hag has to try a new formation with changes to several players who have been inconsistent in maintaining the game, he still has time to return Manchester United back to winning ways as long as he can make all Manchester United players integrate well while on the pitch.

That's true and Manchester United couldn't do much because of the limited number of players they had, it was clear when Manchester United were 1 goal behind but Ten Hag didn't have many replacements for their attack line which was starting to get confused about penetrating Crystal Palace's defense and this was really the result. which is quite bad for Manchester United, especially for the confidence of Ten Hag's team.
I don't see the Manchester United team being able to recover any better if many of their players are injured in the near future, this is really a pretty sad start to the season for Ten Hag.

[MusaMohamed]

Markus Rashford is just a striker who is far from consistent, he can be very sharp but can play worse than fans ever think, unfortunately, Manchester United has a very high dependence on him so that when he experiences difficulties with his game it will affect the team and end up losing, and that's what has happened since the start of the season until now, quite bad with 7 matches only managed to score 1 goal, 1 assist, and 1 yellow card, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that he suddenly improves and continues to score goals in many matches after that declines again.

Because Manchester United from Ole Gunar Solskjaer to Ten Hag, used Marcus Rashford not appropriately. He is not a striker but they tried to use him at a striker position with hope that he can play well there.

It's explainable why Rashford can not play consistently well at a striker position that is not his favorite position. He is a Left winger according to transfermarkt.com and we all know it is his main and most favorite position. So if Manchester United highly depend on Marcus Rashford even at his unfavorite position, it is the club problem, not the player.

That's true and Manchester United couldn't do much because of the limited number of players they had, it was clear when Manchester United were 1 goal behind but Ten Hag didn't have many replacements for their attack line which was starting to get confused about penetrating Crystal Palace's defense and this was really the result. which is quite bad for Manchester United, especially for the confidence of Ten Hag's team.
I don't see the Manchester United team being able to recover any better if many of their players are injured in the near future, this is really a pretty sad start to the season for Ten Hag.

Please don't try to explain their failures and reduce severity of their failure. Spending a lot of money for transfer recent years and still blame on limited player resource, can not play well because of player quality. Is it responsible for their club owner, director, sport leader and generally their bad development, transfer strategies?

The best thing they can do is admit their failures and analyze it thoroughly to improve their strategies. Try to avoid, wipe out responsibility is not good way to move on and to improve their club.

Think why they let De Gea leaving their club and spent big transfer fee for Onana when they can use the same money to buy good central defender to improve their defense more?

I think the events that occurred in this match are a valuable lesson for referee Var to pay closer attention before they make a decision.

Yes. Their reasoning of "significant human error" is completely unacceptable when the technology is showing the correct information but the VAR is interpreting the lines differently. I mean there's pressure to make the right call but they probably have the easiest job to do.

I agree with what Klopp said about this game. It doesn't matter how they say sorry about this game the point will not return to Liverpool anymore.
We know even sometimes the VAR can't even help the referee to make the good decisions and avoid making mistakes. Maybe Klopp thinks this makd Liverpool lose the games otherwise they had much higher chances in the game against Tottenham.

Ten Hag credibility in managing Manchester United is starting to be doubted due to losing too easily to a team whose player quality is lower than the player material that Manchester United has. Ten Hag has to try a new formation with changes to several players who have been inconsistent in maintaining the game, he still has time to return Manchester United back to winning ways as long as he can make all Manchester United players integrate well while on the pitch.

It seems that Manchester United players are not too confident in rising from adversity and even Ten Hag has also tried his best to arrange all strategic efforts to keep Manchester on the winning track, unfortunately Ten Hag failed to build the players' confidence so they often experienced defeats against a club that is actually not really a favorite.

I know it's the start of the season and I'm not a Manchester United fan either but he should be better than last season, playing with self-confidence is very important and Tenhag's job is to build the players' self-confidence so they can play better and really be able to continue to be there. winning path, I'm sure he will continue to reshuffle the main squad to find the right position, I want to see their development until the middle of the season.

Yes, Erik Ten Hag doesn't necessarily have to look for excuses because his team's performance is not improving. The club has spent quite a lot of money to bring in players according to the coach's wishes but the results are still far from satisfactory. I'm sure ETH is starting to feel a lot of pressure and of course there is no choice for him but to give wins, wins and wins.

Yes, Ten Hag must immediately overhaul the scheme and choose players who are able to translate his instructions. Several ineffective players must be immediately removed from the starting XI for a while. He also doesn't need to experiment by placing players not in their actual positions. Time is still long and it's time to improve, but if not, Erik Ten Hag will suffer the consequences.

[Litzki1990]

Arsenal still looks very consistent so far, they have collected five wins and two draws in the EPL competition, this achievement places them together with Tottenham as the unbeaten club in the EPL. Behind one point from the top of the standings and having the same points as Tottenham who are second in the standings, I was quite impressed with Arsenal's performance in several matches and they were even able to equalize in extra minutes so they avoided defeat.

If Arteta is able to provide encouragement and his team can perform consistently until the middle of the season, there is a big possibility that they will be able to catch Manchester City at the top of the standings because currently Manchester City has experienced its first defeat. Usually clubs that have experienced defeat in the English league will definitely experience defeat again in the next match or will get a draw and what's more, now they have lost an energetic midfielder who is able to provide the best passes for their attackers.

does not guarantee defeat even though you have lost before and I said here yesterday that Mam City defeat against Wolves does not mean anything to Guardiola. If you watch the broadcast of the match you will see Guardiola a little relaxed without worrying if Man City loses because of something that Guardiola It seems like it is giving direction to Man City players not to exert too much energy because in a few days Man City will have to compete to appear stronger in the UCL match against Leipzig and it is only natural that the defeat occurs because Man City goal is not only in the EPL. I repeat what I said yesterday because even though in the next match we will play against Arsenal it is not certain that Man City will lose but it could end in a draw because we have already passed the match against UCL so I am not sure if Man City will lose against Arsenal and my prediction will end with 2-2.

I admit that Arsenal is currently in a very strong condition but that does not mean that Arteta will be able to compete with Guardiola strategy and we'll see later whether my prediction is wrong or right. be sure to bet on this match a little more carefully.

Manchester City lost against Wolves in the last match of the English Premier League, this is Manchester City's first defeat of the season. The next two matches will be very tough matches for Manchester City as it is a Champions League match and another is a Premier League match against Arsenal. In the Champions League Manchester City will fight against RB Leipzig which will not be an easy match for Manchester City as this team is one of the top five teams in the Bundesliga so Manchester City must perform at their best to win against this team. If Manchester City can win this match of Champions League then the next match Premier League match against Arsenal will be easy for Manchester City. 
The manager may have been planning these two matches ever since the defeat against Wolves.

[asriloni]

Tottenham vs Liverpool was a big match where this match was marked by two red cards for Liverpool and also a bad rally for Liverpool because they lost in the last minute due to an own goal by Matip. Liverpool had to withstand the onslaught of Tottenham in this match because Liverpool had to play with 9 players in this match after the red cards received by two of their players. losing Jota and Jones meant they couldn't open up space in their game as they had to cover the gaps to maintain balance. The 2-1 defeat was quite painful because it happened in the 90+6 minute. I think Tottenham really performed consistently under the coaching of Ange Postecoglou because this season Tottenham lost their best goal machine but their performance was even better than last season.

Luiz diaz goal should able make the result become draw but everything already happened and liverpool had been losing full points in this match. The club must move on. There's no need to feel disappointed with the result from this match. Playing with 9 players but liverpool are still showing if its club was still able defending from so many attacks were coming from totenham. PGMOL has become another hottest topic right now caused by the referee organization was just admitting if they were making very big mistake by disallowing diaz's goal. They must be aware if the referee these days are so crap. They are making too many mistakes in result putting the club in the disadvantage.
Liverpool may able to get 1 points if referee was taking the right decision from luis diaz's goal. Diego jota's red card already reverted. He will not be banned for upcoming match.

I saw the news today that PGMOL apologized to Liverpool if the referee's decision in that match was not truly accurate because Diaz was not in an offside position like the referee's decision in that match. Of course, this is very detrimental to Liverpool because if it is legalized then Liverpool will not experience defeat in that match. I think the referee's decisions sometimes don't make sense, even in this match they made a mistake which made the other team very disadvantaged.

I think the events that occurred in this match are a valuable lesson for referee Var to pay closer attention before they make a decision. I think Liverpool is really at a disadvantage in this match. Therefore, the two referees were suspended from their duties because they made decisions that were detrimental to the Liverpool team in this match.

It's a shame for PGMOL. This committee has been doing the same thing so many times and they keep only apologizing for their mistakes. They were calling it as human error while it was happening for more than 1 times. It's obviously true if the quality from the referee was also declining along with VAR which has become the major problem. Mistakes were often made by the referee during the game.. The VAR was making it even worse. The implementation of good technology was good, but the major problem was on the human who used or controlled the tech.
There will be more referees to be suspended caused by they will be facing the same issues. It's very bad to see how the quality of referee is so bad these days.
There was no also justice for the victim from the incorrect decision taken by the referee. It's very bad and this needs to be changed.

That early goal from Aston Villa caught my attention too. It really threw Brighton off balance. Brighton looked like they were rushing to get back on track, and their game plan went out the window. I totally agree with what you said about Brighton's terrible day. They let goals slip through counterattacks, and they scored their own goal. Oh no! That was a real facepalm moment. I also couldn't help but agree with your point of view on Wolverhampton's plan. It was clear that they were good at defence, which Brighton could learn from. I agree that City did hold their ground even though they lost. When Brighton tried to get back into the game, they really opened up their defence, which is something they need to work on

The mentality of the Brighton players was clearly disturbed when Aston Villa managed to score a goal in the 14th minute by O. Watkins. So in a short time O. Watkins scored again in the 21st minute. And panic was clearly visible among the Brighton players. It was this panic that finally created an own goal in the 26th minute.

As the host, it turns out that Aston Villa can really destroy Brighton's rhythm of play. Because since then, as you said, Brighton has been forced to be more aggressive in attacking to reduce the gap. But unfortunately this action made Brighton's defense weak. This is indeed a nightmare for Brighton. And this is the best match for Aston Villa.
There is only 1 match remaining. Namely, today Chelsea will face Fullham. I'm curious whether Fullham who are the hosts can also do the same thing as Aston Villa against Brighton. Chelsea should be the favorite. But Chelsea's current condition cannot be expected.

The early goal from Ollie Watkins to give Aston Villa am early lead against Brighton and Hove Albion in their English Premier League game last Saturday Without doubt must have affected Brighton player's winning mentality but I don't think it was the reason why Aston Villa thrashed Brighton in that game.
Aston Villa played that game like a team who were playing a major final as they made sure they converted most of their chances. And again, they had Ollie Watkins who was in his best mood that day

[hyudien]

Marcus Rashford was so good last season that fans were beginning to compare him with Kylian Mbappe as many believed he was in the category with Mbappe when it comes to playing football but has not been able to replicate the same form since the start of the season.
Manchester United as a team has been very poor this season as they possess a squad that has enough quality to conquer not just the English Premier League but also the whole of Europe. However, I think Rashford should've done better than he's done all season.

Markus Rashford is just a striker who is far from consistent, he can be very sharp but can play worse than fans ever think, unfortunately, Manchester United has a very high dependence on him so that when he experiences difficulties with his game it will affect the team and end up losing, and that's what has happened since the start of the season until now, quite bad with 7 matches only managed to score 1 goal, 1 assist, and 1 yellow card, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that he suddenly improves and continues to score goals in many matches after that declines again.

Thinking that Marcus Rashford is the same as Mbappe is just excessive fan nonsense. Because Mbappe still controls his ego on the field and he can still build cooperation with other players. Neither last season nor now Marcus Rashford could prove himself worthy. He at Man United became a striker who was too pampered by Erik Ten Hag, and too much trusted so that Marcus Rashford felt he was important. As a result, I won't be surprised if Rashford plays like this in every match, because in the end, it's just a matter of time before Man United performance will gradually decline in a negative direction.

[Zlantann]

I agree with what Klopp said about this game. It doesn't matter how they say sorry about this game the point will not return to Liverpool anymore.
We know even sometimes the VAR can't even help the referee to make the good decisions and avoid making mistakes. Maybe Klopp thinks this makd Liverpool lose the games otherwise they had much higher chances in the game against Tottenham.

The apology or acknowledgment by PGMOL is needless because Liverpool will not get a point or a match replay. The decision was taken just fast and this raised suspicion that there might be a kind of conspiracy against Liverpool.  This is not the first time they are apologizing but the harm has already been done and there is no remedy to it. Even the red card against Curtis Jones. Liverpool would have gotten at least a draw or even a win in that game.  The goal would have served as a motivation to the team. Everyone expected that VAR would reduce officiating errors but it is currently making more. Apologies are unnecessary,  what is needed is an improvement and an end to such costly mistakes.

Man United is having too many problems under Ten Hag this season, and the pressure on him is getting bigger and bigger. They are in crisis after losing consecutively in important tournaments. Coach Erik Ten Hag is at risk of being fired if he cannot improve the team's situation. He has no excuses for Man United's worst start in the Premier League. The home crowd booed Old Trafford throughout the match, suffering a bitter 0-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Maguire doesn't start, who will be the scapegoat for Man United fans, coach Erik Ten?

Sacked or not, I think Manchester United will still find it difficult to recover. Because after all, competition in the Premier League is becoming more difficult and it seems, to build a better team again it seems that bigger funds are needed to be able to bring in better players. Because after all, it seems that it is not only Manchester United about the big teams that have bad results this season. Although in reality, Erik ten Hag succeeded in his first season last season and thus, then I think it would be too soon to fire Erik ten Hag because Manchester United are not as broken as Chelsea in this moment.

Manchester United is giving their fans the most disappointing start to the season in history. After 7 rounds, Ten Hag and his team scored 7 goals, conceded 11 times, and ranked 10th on the Premier League rankings. They just lost to an unremarkable squad at Old Trafford. Regarding financial purchases, Ten Hag also spends quite a lot. If the team continues this bad streak, I think the Manchester United board of directors should consider finding a replacement for Ten Hag. The truth gradually revealed: perhaps Ronaldo and Sancho were right when talking about this team.

Regarding the decline of Chelsea Club, we cannot wholly blame coach Pochettino. Pochettino's desire to recruit more experienced players needs to be resolved. Instead, Chelsea spends money to welcome many young players.

[Sebas.tian]

There were several surprising results this weekend that Manchester City and Liverpool have to lose even i never thought Wolves can able to beat Manchester City because before the match Wolves performance was very poor besides that those redults Brighton who in the last several matches had impressive performance yesterday they have to lose from Aston Villa with big scores

Fulham vs Chelsea would be the last match for this week and we all know Chelsea has spend a lot of money to bought the players but all of them seems useless because Chelsea performance was similar just like last season and about this match although Fulham condition also not really good but at least they have been collect 2 wins and Fulham conditions also much better than Chelsea because for today match Fulham key players will be available to play and according to the odds Chelsea is still the favourite with odds @1.98 but i highly doubt Chelsea will be able to beat Fulham today

It was a great surprised seen wolves defeated Manchester city 2-1 to reduced their points, because Manchester city has never lose any match from the beginning of this tournament that made people to continue to predicted for their favour but it was a shock seen them lose to a small team. I think, Manchester city manager will definitely work on that to ensure such thing will not repeat itself again till the end of the tournament, because they top the premier league table from the beginning till now which are some of the things that is giving their fans hope about the tournament. Fulham will be my favorite team in this match because they have strong defenders and midfielders that will give their strikers confident to score 2 goals without allow Chelsea to score a single goal from the match.

I agree that City did hold their ground even though they lost. When Brighton tried to get back into the game, they really opened up their defence, which is something they need to work on

Brighton has an interesting system and football, but in front of a team that is pragmatic and plays direct, they don't have a differentiator who has the imagination to score goals, Mitoma is not at that level yet. If you look at the first half, Brighton tended to play openly, even though Brighton had a slight advantage in possession of the ball, and even then Aston Villa were still able to score goals.

And coincidentally, in this match Watkins was on fire while Brighton's defense seemed to lack coordination. From the looks of Villa's goals in the first half, man to man seemed less than optimal. And when the man to man passes, the marking zone also easily misses other Villa players' ballless movements. In the second half, Villa's fourth goal was like a mental killer for the Brighton players.

[Majestic-milf]

 We saw so many disbelieving upsets in the weekend and the first to top my list is Man City. The funny part was I predicted they'd lose but I began doubting myself considering how tought they are and we know Wolves are not a team to beat them because if there should have been a club to defeat them it would have been Newcastle but the Magpies caved and lost.
I just feel this would be a wake up call for Pep so he'd understand that no club is unbeatable.
 Well, I'm excited for today's game between Chelsea and Fulham and I'm willing to go with the Blues getting another win at Craven Cottage. Pochettino will do everything possible to keep this one locked in their favor as somehow his job depends on the win. After their shocking win against Brighton, it sort of boosted their morale and I'm positive they'd turn this in their favor. Also, has anyone observed that whichever club the Blues win, the club finds it difficult to come back to winning ways? Look at Luton, Brighton. As for Brighton, they received a heavy thrashing from a club no one expected to score three goals!

[Sexylizzy2813]

I wish I can tell whats going through the minds of Chelsea players in tonight's game against Fulham, because as it stands Fulham are better than Chelsea even on the table.
What would Pochettino bring to the table in this encounter? Gone are those days when this kind of fixture and we conclude that the Blues would win the game but at this point in time things are not healthy for Chelsea so in tonight's game I don't expect anything big from them or better still the game would end in a draw because I don't think they (Chelsea) can outrun the Fulham players.
