Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Sebas.tian]

Chelsea managed to win again after 3 weeks in the league. After 3 weeks without a win, Chelsea defeated Fulham away and got 3 points. Chelsea, who had a bad start this year under Pochettino, are not exactly playing well but they are hardly winning matches. I wonder if the management will make a move because the gap with the teams they are already competing with has widened slightly. Chelsea increased their points to 8 with this win and there is a 10 point gap between them and the leader.

I think, there is improvement in the team now because Chelsea dominated through out the match that made them to defeated Fulham to have more strength to finished the match, and that match has given people confident that they will definitely achieve victory in their next match. Since pochettino has discovered his errors that made the team to went through all those challenges that made their starting look poor for other teams to reduced them, but he has used this Fulham match to encourage fans that there is a hope for the team to step up to top 4 in this season. Based on what am observing from this Chelsea new manager, I think if Chelsea president give him long time he will do something that will make Chelsea to embrace that honor they where receiving as among the best team in the premier league competition in the past.

Manchester City is one of the strongest teams in the English Premier League, so it is wrong to think that they will never lose a match. So far Manchester City have won six of their first seven matches and lost only one match against Wolves. The English Premier League is a league where the team at the bottom of the points table can beat the number one team in the points table. Pep Guardiola has brought so many wins and on the contrary they have lost the last match so it is not fair to criticize him. One match loss is not an issue if they think carefully about the upcoming matches, it will be very easy for Manchester City to recover this point.

Nobody doubts that and they have dominated the English Premier League in recent seasons. I think criticism of Manchester City's defeat against Wolves is normal, because they appeared less than promising in that match. Without the presence of Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City's front line seems to have difficulty scoring goals and we can see that from several matches that have taken place where the number of goals they have scored is not too big.

Losing one match is not a problem, but what becomes a problem when the next match they also lose. Manchester City have a busy match schedule for this season and I am worried that many of their players are injured it could affect the outcome of the match, especially if the injured player is from the main team in Pep Guardiola's squad.

And this is what I worry about because a very busy match will have an impact on the players and there is a possibility of injury or fatigue which will cause their performance to decline slightly. However, no team is perfect and no team always wins every match. There will definitely be times when a team is careless or experiences something else that affects its performance and fitness.
So it is very natural to experience defeat and Manchester City experienced two consecutive defeats in their last match, and the next match Manchester City will face RB Leipzig in the UCL group G phase. And this will be an interesting match because both of them have the same points and will fight for first place in Group G, and whether Manchester City will win the match or continue their losing streak because RB Leipzig is not an easy opponent.

Regarding the match between Cagliari and Fiorentina, we saw some drama from other fans about this game. In Florence, the police tried to make the fans stop but because of that, a policeman got injured.
I don't know why this was so important for the fans to make something like this happen. However, Fiorentina won the game with a 3-1 result against Cagliari they are in 5th place in the table of Serie A.

Maybe it was the fans way of showing their pleasure at the club because they were able to win the match with a score of 3:0 without reply at home, causing chaos, but hopefully there were no victims due to the chaos.
BTW, you seem to have mistakenly written this thread in the English league, not in the Italian Serie A league.

Chelsea is starting to return to winning ways and the players' mentality is improving. Pochettino must maintain the good spirits of his players so that in the next match he will also have high hopes of winning again against Burnley. But I'm not really sure that the Blues will be able to continue to perform well except against mediocre teams because the quality of players still doesn't look promising for this season so I'm pessimistic that they will be able to finish in the top six. If you look at the concept that has been developed, Chelsea has quite bright prospects and I am sure that Chelsea will be able to rise with Pochettino in the next few seasons.

There were too many speculations about the Fulham vs Chelsea before start of this match with current form mostly were feeling things could be favorable for the Fulham because they were doing good job and Chelsea having serious troubles but Pochettino done good change in his strategy and it works for them as well which allow having early lead, and then they were able to keep things on good level with Fulham try his best but fail to break the deadlock and score any goal which is good for the Chelsea.

The strategy adopted by pochettino was different and it seems he have started to have faith in young player, i was surprised he started Mudryk and Palmer but they proved that they are up to the task and the game was different, the attack was more precise and I think pochettino should stick to playing these players.

Mudryk score his first goal as Chelsea fan which is surely good for this exciting player because after paying huge amount for his transfer there was too much talk about him and his quality hopefully now after having this winning goal his confidence level will improve, and he will be able to score more goals and his team at better spot.

English football is a very different and tough league that is why some players find it difficult to adapt to the system immediately,we have seen so many players struggle to adapt and some of them end up leaving the league while some players grow into the system and adapt fine. Paying such amount for Mudryk is a bit too high for a player that is young and not too exposed but no doubt he is a very good player and i like the fact that he wants to prove all his doubters wrong, he is working so hard to become the star player everyone wants him to be. In recent games he have shown a great improvement and he just deserved the goal and am so happy he finally scored his first premier league goal and i just hope he doesn’t relent and build on this momentum and lead chelsea to top flight once again.

Chelsea needs time before they would possibly bounced back to winning ways, they're st restructuring phase and the fans needs patience. Mauricio Pochettino is here to proof his worth to the team and the supporters. Ofcourse all the necessary signs we have been looking for is there already, eliminating a competitive side like Brighton Albion from Carabao cup and winning Fulham in EPL, two wins in a row. Our next game is Burnley and I'm 100% confident of my team thrashing them with ease efforts to maximized. Chelsea bounced back to winning ways, however I'm satisfied with the present results the blues records in their last two games.

Pochettino seems to be still experimenting with the players he has. he made a strategy with a different formation in the match against Fulham. This was different when Chelsea faced Brighton in the League Cup.
Chelsea's attacking game pattern looks more developed when Pochettino puts 3 players up front. rather than pushing Jackson into the opponent's defense line.
Pochettino successfully beat Fulham, I hope this will be maintained for several future matches, including against Arsenal and Man City.

People have long waited for a performance like this, although I was very scared adding Chelsea to my betting slip because you can hardly predict there performance sometimes because in most cases you will think they are doing well and the next they either draw or they lose because they have actually cut most of my slip so that's why I was a bit skeptical about there winning, but actually they played really well, the efforts and tactics they used on that match if they had use that force on there previous matches they would likely won almost all the matches but I believe they're peaking form already and with this performance there next match could be a win game for them.

most bettors are as worried as you are about putting the match on the betting slip and I would not put any Chelsea matches in until there was a consistent improvement on Chelsea.

but Chelsea fans are still very enthusiastic about believing in this team and I even said about the fact that Chelsea is in a bad condition, someone here does not agree with my statement, whereas in reality Chelsea is in a very bad condition and that not mean I say this team is very bad, just have not had any improvements.

I will just wait for Chelsea to recover soon and enter every Chelsea match again in my betting slip.

I see Pochettino is still looking for the right formation so that his mission to achieve victory can be achieved. Slowly Pochettino seemed to have found the structure of a puzzle and he began to feel comfortable with developments on the field. But even though they were able to win two matches in a row, I am not completely sure that the Chelsea players will be able to maintain their consistency. But if you look at the progress, the Blues have good prospects for going in a better direction, but this is not visible in the near future. Chelsea will likely lose points again when they meet big teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham and Newcastle.

However, at least there is much better progress in each match. Indeed, Pochettino's task is very difficult to handle the Chelsea team, which is almost entirely filled with new players, which of course makes Pochettino have to form the framework of this team first and another difficulty for Pochettino is that Chelsea currently lacks players. suits Pochettino's coaching style or tactics.

This victory against Fulham is quite important and the consecutive wins that Chelsea have achieved will certainly make Pochettino's team raise their mentality and confidence to face the next match.

Chelsea bounced back to winning ways, however I'm satisfied with the present results the blues records in their last two games.

I don't think time is the only thing Chelsea needs but then they definitely need it aswell Maybe they could perform better in the nearest future to come, especially in their subsequent games in the premier league. Pochettino arrived Chelsea since last season and his first assignment which was to make sure the team qualifies for the champions league was not achieved he failed at it.

After that he has also began the season in the premier league on a very slow and poor note making the team fall out of its glory, so what more time dose pochettino needs if he had a full season and couldn't prove himself, Will he need the whole of his stay in Chelsea to prove he is good enough for the teams? And Chelsea definitely don't have such time as the season is almost halfway soon.

I think pochettino needs work more on his tactics and player positioning so as to get the desired results required of him and not fluctuating in between wining two games and loosing three and draw one. If he fails to finish top four this season and qualify for UCL next season I think he shouldn't be allowed to spend a day further at Stamford bridge as he should be considered to have failed, it's almost two seasons now and we are yet to be impressed enough.

Sorry if I sound so negative about Chelsea, but the fact that chelsea beat fullham in their previous game which was played on Monday' does not necessarily mean they have improved, or that they will improve soon.

I personally think that before chelsea will be fully back to their feet again, it may take up to two seasons more, that is, this season and  and the next coming season, for me, i am not putting any hope on chelsea through out this season, maybe by next season, we will see

[Despairo]

After Burnley win against Luton Town today, they will face Chelsea in the next 3 days later, I believe this will be sure win for Chelsea because Burnley's players are exhausted.

I'm very excited to see what Mudryk will do in this match, either people will proud of him or continue to get booed like his previous 19 matches

I expect his self confident went high,he might become a selfish player who's trying to dribbling and beat the opponents.

[Polkeins]

I was one of the people who thought Fulham would be able to beat Chelsea again, but my expectations seemed wrong and Chelsea was able to win this match. Maybe Pochettino has found a new strategy for his players to be more coordinated and the results are quite satisfying. I think they have to maintain their performance in other matches and if that is successful then Chelsea will be able to quickly climb to where they should be and not stay at the bottom of the table. It's true that scoring two goals is very difficult, especially since Chelsea had so much difficulty scoring goals a month ago. It is hoped that Mudryk can prove his quality at the price paid by Chelsea and start working harder with the other players in order to get what Chelsea has targeted later.

There were too many speculations about the Fulham vs Chelsea before start of this match with current form mostly were feeling things could be favorable for the Fulham because they were doing good job and Chelsea having serious troubles but Pochettino done good change in his strategy and it works for them as well which allow having early lead, and then they were able to keep things on good level with Fulham try his best but fail to break the deadlock and score any goal which is good for the Chelsea.

Pochettino is basically doing what he can given the situation Chelsea found themselves in after last season, so the win over Fulham was partly natural. Chelsea's squad is much more expensive than Fulham's, and in general, they had to start playing at some point. Mudryk broke his curse and managed to score in his 21 games it seems. So it will be easier for him psychologically for a while, as well as the rest of the team.

I hope Bowley will not give in to emotions and let Pochettino work until the end of the season, so that at least next season the team will be able to fight for prizes.

Pochettino's task is not that difficult as long as he was not making some stupid blunders like changing the formation that made players lost their confidence, putting the players out of their actual positions, and many more. As long as pochettino will not be doing stupid experiment like potter and everything will be fine. Pochettino just need to do everything in the right way. Putting chilwell as left winger was a non sense idea. I would blame him a lot once he will repeat same mistake.

This victory against Fulham is quite important and the consecutive wins that Chelsea have achieved will certainly make Pochettino's team raise their mentality and confidence to face the next match.

It has become a good win to build the mentality of the players. We did know that if chelsea has been buying so many young players and these players have no strong mentality at this moment. Even some players like mudryk was also seeing this as his first time to play in english premier league. He needs time to get his confidence to play in EPL and adapt it. As long as mudryk and whole of chelsea players were working so hard and they can get their confidences.

Regarding the match between Cagliari and Fiorentina, we saw some drama from other fans about this game. In Florence, the police tried to make the fans stop but because of that, a policeman got injured.
I don't know why this was so important for the fans to make something like this happen. However, Fiorentina won the game with a 3-1 result against Cagliari they are in 5th place in the table of Serie A.

You may wrongly post this premier league thread instead of serie a thread.

I don't think it will be for sure, it's not that I don't trust the Chelsea team but I think realistically that the Chelsea team hasn't proven to be able to play consistently well and also this match will be played at home to Burnley so it will be a bit of a tough one.
Mudryk is a player who is already quite down and what he did in his last match with Chelsea could indeed make him more confident, but I am very pessimistic about Mudryk.

[Btc_1856]

We shouldn't put all the blame on Onana. I agree it's his responsibility. Because, to be honest, MU's start was not favorable. Everyone is at fault for bringing the team down. Onana's responsibility may be greater than that of the players. If he makes a mistake, he must pay the price immediately. Onana is under pressure from the mistake he made in the last match against Bayern Munich, and this time, he continued to make mistakes. And he's making things difficult for himself. We should give Onana a chance to correct her errors.
There is still a chance for Onana to correct mistakes, but goalkeeper Onana will not be able to fix errors with empty words. He must do it with saves on the field. He should prove it with actions.

Mudryk is a player who is already quite down and what he did in his last match with Chelsea could indeed make him more confident, but I am very pessimistic about Mudryk.

If you trust Mudryk to do some spectacular result in the coming match, then you have to also be confident in Chelsea, they might have not have a reason to impress us all but who knows what will happen the next time. Burnley hasn't in their entire life won a single match against Chelsea before, they draw only 1 out 5 they have played and lost all 4 with hot goals that were condeded from Chelsea, so imagine with all these previous statistics, I don't think Chelsea will fall hands to lose this one and Burnley is not also in good form since the start of the season.

We don't know for sure if after what they did to Fulham was only a show biz, luck or hard work but if we are to judge by excitement, you will know that other players are committed to score goals too, Burnley is the right time they can do all this to revive back their place in the Premier League if not, the fight of running from relegation place will forever continue and Boehly will be on the neck of Pochettino.

There is still a chance for Onana to correct mistakes, but goalkeeper Onana will not be able to fix errors with empty words. He must do it with saves on the field. He should prove it with actions.

Anywhere David Gea is right now will be laughing so hard. How Manchester United moves from a goal keeper that receive medal of golden glove to Onana is really traumatizing, you can't compare Onana stats with De Gea, I'm not sure about Onana place in his former team but coming to Manchester United is one of the worst move I have seen in Manchester United, either he is encourage to improve or eventually improve, Onana will not last in that club because they will dispose him and if there is not a buyer, they will bench him and bring another competent goal keeper.

Chelsea always need time to improve their condition but unfortunately if that doesn't happen soon then they will run out of time like last season when they ended up outside the top 10 and not playing in any European competition.
They can't run out of time like last season which will result in even greater fan disappointment. This is already the seventh match and later in the eighth match they will face Burnley. There is no doubt they can win over Burnley, although unexpected things can still happen again, because it seems like Chelsea with Pochettino as coach haven't shown anything that good.

There is still a chance for Onana to correct mistakes, but goalkeeper Onana will not be able to fix errors with empty words. He must do it with saves on the field. He should prove it with actions.

Onana was a very good goalkeeper when he was at Inter Milan. But when he joined Manchester United, I personally haven't seen his good saves like at Inter Milan. In fact, he often makes mistakes. We certainly still remember Onana's first match at Manchester United which also ended quite tragically. At that time Onana conceded many goals. The problem here is Onana's mentality which doesn't seem ready for the pressure that exists at a big club like Manchester United. It is common knowledge that competition and pressure at Premier League clubs is very high. And Onana made more mistakes when playing in the current Champions League with Manchester United.

I think it's natural for people to start blaming Onana for making mistakes. It's just that the poor performance of the Manchester United Club is not just Onana's fault. But Manchester United's back line is also weak. They are too easy for opponents to pass. So Onana is indeed in a difficult position. But I still hope that Onana can give the best like the performance he showed when he was still at Inter Milan.
But I couldn't lie to myself when I saw Manchester United lose. Sometimes I think about De Gea. De Gea's mentality is much better than Onana.
