Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Ahli38]

But still it can affect their players positively because of the victory they had and also motivate their coach to trust them in times of selection, I can say it's a good start for Chelsea and wish the go home with the motivation of winning and come back to continue with it again, with this comeback I expect more win with them.

Wins are good motivation for players so this win is surely going to motivate them to win more matches, they are already spirited from winning Fulham and now winning Burnley is a good way to bring back the winning ways. The coach have learned and improved in his selection which has now impacted the team positively, the 3 men defensive formation has made them suffer too much and lost games they could have won comfortably.

I can’t wait for them to return from the international break because of the improvement i have seen and i am not too scared of Arsenal as i used to be, they are good but I believe chelsea can give them a tough time even if they don’t win. Lets see if they can still have the winning spirit in them to win Arsenal.

Over the last 2 seasons Arsenal have always managed to beat Chelsea. So Arsenal must have high self-confidence because they definitely feel confident that they will be able to beat Chelsea. But Chelsea definitely has the same high motivation to beat Arsenal. Because Chelsea cannot continue to be humiliated by Arsenal. Last week Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City. which indicates that Arsenal is currently much stronger than before. Because usually Arsenal always loses to Manchester City. But in the last match this week, Arsenal managed to break their chain of defeats. And now Chelsea must also be able to follow in Arsenal's footsteps, which in the end can beat Manchester City and Chelsea must also be able to beat Arsenal. Even though I have liked Chelsea for a long time, to be honest, I am still not sure about the performance of this club. In fact I probably wouldn't bet on Chelsea.

[QueenVera]

Mauricio Pochettino have done quite a good job to bring the very best from the players. Chelsea have recorded tough times in league games last season and this current campaign, having absolutely nothing to show for it, perhaps there would be full determination for the best game. Chelsea are back to winning ways, that present form have made the blues supporters extremely excited. Stamford Bridge will once again smile after EPL games. I'm not longer frighten for the game against Arsenal, I'm confident Chelsea will br able to match up the exact same level of energy with Gunners when they clash.

I once told a Chelsea fan that he should be patient with his coach and trust the process, cause they'll suffer for a while and pick up later, and with their current performance I this their days of suffering is over but I just hope they remain consistent cause it matters if they want to move up in the table else they could remain stagnant around the top 15 place in the table, well I know alot of Chelsea fans would be very happy to see the team doing pretty good once again.

 Well I won't be too quick to say they're ready to fans big teams until I see their performance against a big team recently, however Arsenal is in a very good form and has recently beaten the league defenders who were previously the best performing team but has slightly dropped form, well it would be very suprising to see Chelsea beating an in form  Arsenal in a derby game, even though the match would be held at Stamford Bridge.

It is clear that Arsenal will be the party who will benefit greatly if this happens. Victor Osimhen could be a better goalscoring machine if he was at Arsenal. At least that's what I thought. But we need to know that Victor Osimhen was targeted by many big clubs in the transfer market yesterday. Not only Arsenal, but Chelsea and MU are also on the list of clubs that want Victor Osimhen's services.

That's the problem with these two clubs Chelsea and Man UTD, they're always on the look out for players Arsenal (not only Arsenal but other bigger clubs) are going for especially Chelsea, I don't want to talk much about Man UTD because they only know how to engage and then withdraw without any cause. So Chelsea to me don't need any more player on that squad, all they need is to make those players understand each other. To me if this V. Osimhen deal pulls through, I feel Arsenal will be a better match for Man City.

But even now I feel Arsenal are very good with the players they currently have. In fact, I feel Arsenal has become stronger than last season. Even though Arsenal is currently ranked 2nd, that's true, it doesn't matter. Because I am sure that in the near future Arsenal will rise to 1st place in the standings. Arteta has stronger ambitions than last season. He will definitely not let his guard down this season.

I shouldn't give them that credit yet on their performance, fine they're doing well but they still need to convince their fans that they're better than last season. If you could remember this was the same path they took, same energy, same force to get the title and where did it end them, 2nd of the table, only thing that's a bit different are the new players.
That attitude alone is just frustrating so I'd say they're still on the right path getting business done but we need to see that ruthless Gunners that will score 4 goals and still hungry for more (like Man City), so let's say the Gunners have started again this season but they shouldn't end this season finishing 2nd.

Talking about new coaches, the coach of Tottenham Ange postecoglou has done a better job than Chelsea's coach has done, when Chelsea's coach Pochettino is supposed to be doing better than the new Tottenham coach because of the very talented players that were just signed to the club. Ange did not bring in so many players, just a few, and then made use of what he has on the team even though one of their top players left to Germany. On the rating on who has been a better coach in the short time between Chelsea and Tottenham's new boss, I rate Ange Postecoglou higher.

[Mr.right85]

With Arsenal's performance since the beginning of this season I just have to give it to them that they did a very good job not minding them being 2nd on the log. Since the return of Gabriel Jesus from injury to me I think he has been at the top of his game, he still have that hunger to play and get more goals for the Gunners, it might not be coming as expected but he has been contributing to the Arsenal side.
With Napoli on the mix of getting him (Gabriel Jesus) in replace of V. Osimhen that's if the Nigerian doesn't pens down a new contract and the Gunners are also interested in getting V. Osimhen, is not like Napoli want a swap deal, they just want G. Jesus and is like Arsenal want a swap deal. Like who's this deal going to favor the most? Because as it is, to me Jesus is not really a striker but play him from the wing as a manager he'll deliver but V. Osimhen is just the full package, so to me I think the Gunners will benefit more from this deal that's if it pulls through by January.

Victor Osimhen is a very good striker and he’s at a very good age. Honestly I don’t think Arteta would want to negotiate a swap deal or anything close to that with Napoli. One thing that I know about Arsenal manager is that fact that he likes a player that can play in multiple positions in case of injury and fatigue. Osimhen is mainly a central striker and even though Arsenal wants to bring in a striker, I heard there are speculations about the Brentford striker Ivan Toney, I think he’s someone Arsenal are looking at now. Victor Osimhen is a valuable asset for Napoli, Arsenal won’t want to engage in that kind of high deal.

[Pokapoka124]

Manchester City are really feeling the effect of not having KDB on pitch, there is no one to get the ball to Haaland and that’s why the team is losing games. It’s unfortunate that Manchester City’s new signings were not able to make good impact in the game against Arsenal in the weekend and recored a loss while Arsenal’s new signings were impressive and their effort was enough to win the match for the Gunners. A few more additions in January will strengthen the team even more.

Not a difficult job against a relegation team but I admit it might be a good start for Chelsea with a 4-1 win in yesterday's match, but I'm still not entirely sure if Chelsea will return to winning ways or if there will be no change at all when playing with equal teams.

This coming week with Arsenal is obviously more difficult, Arsenal have been able to overthrow Man City so don't be surprised if Chelsea will fall again (this is in the prediction where I assume) You might as a Chelsea fan be confident about this match, but I think of course for me it will be a little less confident Chelsea will win.

Obviously anything can happen, sometimes it can be surprising what we never expected.

[wmaurik]

Even without having to wait for the results of the Arsenal vs City match, I have already placed my bet for Arsenal to win. And the victory over City further proves that they have become a very solid team. For Manchester City, I think injuries to several key players make it difficult for City to develop game tactics. I have a little doubt that City will be able to become champions this season

Actually, winning narrowly at home is a very normal thing for every team, including Arsenal because as a team Arsenal has been quite solid this season. But Arsenal still needs to be more consistent until the end of the season if they want the championship trophy this season, because Manchester City still doesn't deserve to be considered bad this season even though Manchester City has been defeated by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Apart from that, other teams such as Tottenham and Liverpool can also be obstacles that make it difficult for Manchester City and Arsenal to win the championship trophy this season so the Premier League is always very interesting to watch every season.

[Unsoldier]

...
Manchester city did put in their very best and ofcurse they didn't underperform but I think Arsenal had a lucky day as neither sides made it easy of each other, haland did made some brilliant moves but the gunners had a defence that was formidable at the moment, at some point it was like they took note of haland and made sure he didn't get enough space to perform and secure a goal.
...

I have the impression that Haaland is very dependent on Manchester City's style of play. If City create a lot of dangerous moments at the opponent's goal, then Haaland is the most useful player on the pitch and top striker. But if Man City don't create such moments, then Haaland becomes useless.

[yudi09]

-snip-

Liverpool is so unfavourable in this season, same way it was in the last season where the club hard a long history of underperformance in the premiere leagues,  so i wasn't too hopeful on Liverpool to win in the last game against Brighton this is because if you follow both clubs previous match analysis you will see how Brighton have really improved both in their defence and attacking wing and that is something we have to really look into while carrying out our analysis of possible match outcome, so when there were booked to face Liverpool, I speculated that that game will end in a draw and it indeed ended so.
And that widen the gap between Liverpool and Tottenham the more and at some point, it may look as if it will become almost impossibly hard for Liverpool to cash up with them.

I don't agree that you equate Liverpool this season with last season. I admit that last season Liverpool was a little late in the heat so they had to be satisfied with being in 5th place and not qualifying for the UCL. My reason is very simple because this season has only been running for 8 matches and only 1 defeat. Liverpool's defeat this season was also full of controversy when they played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the 7th match before being held to a 2-2 draw by Brighton.

I didn't see any statistics that made Brighton better than Liverpool until the 8th match of the season. In terms of goal statistics, yes, Brighton is temporarily above Liverpool because they have scored 21 goals, but have conceded 16 goals. Meanwhile, Liverpool have scored 18 goals and conceded 9 goals. The net count, Liverpool is still better than Brighton until now.

A few more additions in January will strengthen the team even more.

In my opinion, Kovacic was quite fortunate not to be sent off the field for playing rather aggressively against Arsenal. Even the foul on Martin Odegaard in the penalty box had me on edge, wondering if the referee might award a penalty to Arsenal. I believe his performance was somewhat reckless and risky.

On another note, I must commend Arsenal's defense. Haaland, who was expected to score for Man City, couldn't make much of an impact and seemed frustrated by Arsenal's solid defense this time. Indeed, there were a few opportunities for Man City, but they didn't come from the foot of Haaland, who is hailed as a goal-scoring machine. I was impressed with Arsenal's defense yesterday.

[asriloni]

The harder easier games for Manchester united is no harder than that of Chelsea because, Newcastle, Fulham  even luton FC possess the elements of surprise to hold them to a draw or even win the match if there's so much laxity from the opponent.

Henceforth, Chelsea's recent performance seems to indicate promising progress. They've secured several victories, and their on-field gameplay has shown significant improvement. It appears to be a turning point for Chelsea, signifying that it's time for them to shine once more and compete with other strong clubs at full strength.

The winstreak was helping the club to raise its confidence. In fact that if many people are also putting this as their main concern. Chelsea is now below manchester united at this moment.
I hope that we will see the blues to make its comeback as soon as possible. It's really hurt to see chelsea was always staying at the bottom.

Pochettino can now give more motivation to make its club will able to be equal as arsenal this time. Chelsea has very great journey in the past as it was always beating arsenal. I hope the same scenario will come again.

On the other hand, I observe that Manchester United's gameplay hasn't evolved rapidly. The synergy and strategies employed by Ten Hag still raise doubts about their ability to surpass the progress achieved by Chelsea. It seems like it will take Manchester United a bit more time to make the Big Matches even more exciting again.

There's nothing to be expected from manchester united. This club still plays like a mediocre club. Many people feel so disappointed with ten hag. His summer bought was not going successfully as mount is performing so garbage.
MU was just being scammed caused by it was buying mount with a very expensive price. His price is not even worthy with his skill in the field. Ten hag needs to do a lot of things as soon as possible to sort out all of problems.

I can’t wait for them to return from the international break because of the improvement i have seen and i am not too scared of Arsenal as i used to be, they are good but I believe chelsea can give them a tough time even if they don’t win. Lets see if they can still have the winning spirit in them to win Arsenal.

Arsenal are the second in table waiting for international break to be over to claim there one position, don't be too excited about the two consecutive win that you are rising shoulder for arsenal, when arsenal and Chelsea come put that confident aside and expect the out come of it because I know you already know what the out come will be. The game remain 11 days from now, without any doubt arsenal are far stronger than chelsea now, this game will be very important for arsenal to win because they like to maintain their unbeaten in the Premier league this second and Chelsea had already losses 3 matches, this alone show how strong the team is.

Don't forget about Rodri, because even though he plays as a defensive midfielder, sometimes through assists or even his ability to find spots to score goals, we cannot doubt him because he is also often the key to Manchester City's victory through the goals he scores. Maybe both KDB and Rodri must be quite disappointed because they couldn't help the team win this match due to injury and the absence of a previous red card. So yes, these two figures are the real key players for Manchester City and when Manchester City lost these two players, it certainly felt like they were having a lot of trouble against a similar team.

Arsenal are very good at taking advantage of the absence of several Man City midfielders so I don't want to say Arsenal won because of luck but Arsenal deserved to win this match. That's right, as you said, without Rodri and KDB who always supply the ball forward, it seems like there's nothing to expect from their substitute players like Kovacic, Gvardiol and Nunes because they haven't been able to get chemistry with Pep's strategy.

Actually, this match was a bit boring because attacks were rare, but on the other hand, this proved that defensively both teams were equally disciplined, especially the back line. Arsenal, who appeared very improvised after last season, were able to prevent Haaland from doing too much in this match. And Arsenal deserved to win more after scoring a goal through Martinelli plus the contribution of four substitute players.

If Manchester City is defeated by Arsenal, then of course Arsenal will still have a big chance of beating Chelsea . Even though maybe, you think that Chelsea has improved their performance this moment but still, at this moment and even from last season too, it seems that Chelsea doesn't have good quality . Therefore, I don't think playing away will make Arsenal weak against Chelsea later after the international break . Because of course, at this moment, Arsenal has a better winning mentality than Chelsea, who seems to be still struggling to recover.

When KDB is absent for a long time it can actually be dampened by Rodri who always performs well but when Rodri is not in this squad it becomes a problem for Manchester City, yesterday's match against Arsenal was proof that Manchester City did not have good players in the initiation of attacks and there were no good players to support the flow of the ball from midfield to attack they were not like Manchester City which was very different.
Always broken attacks and no dominance in midfield are very visible in the match against Arsenal but I am sure with Pep when he sees things like this then in other matches to come he must have been able to anticipate this. It would be great if Rodri comes back and KDB recovers in time because otherwise it's quite disruptive.

I think Maguire had a good moment in the match against Brentford. Varane was not at his best and Martinez was still struggling with his injury, because of these conditions, Maguire got the opportunity to play as a starter. What made it meaningful was that he made an assist which gave Man United a very valuable victory. I think with his current performance, Maguire will get more opportunities to play as a starter.

Man United still is not in good condition, therefore, they must continue to make improvements, and try as hard as possible to get victory after victory which of course can increase their self-confidence again.

You are right, it was a special moment for Maguire when Manchester United beat Brentford. I'm sure it's something important for him who seems to have lost confidence due to a lack of respect from his own fans. Maguire's performance in that match has clearly received a lot of attention from fans and they really have good hopes if Maguire manages to maintain his form.

I agree that Manchester United is not in good shape even though they won their last game. All fans hope that Erik Ten Hag can improve his team's form in the next match, but I think it is a really difficult task because so far several of their important players are still struggling with injury problems.

It would be great if Rodri comes back and KDB recovers in time because otherwise it's quite disruptive.

That's right, Manchester City have been unlucky in recent weeks because they lost Rodri and we can see that the consecutive defeats from Wolves to Arsenal were all due to Rodri's absence. From the start, Manchester City seemed to have lost a midfielder who could regulate the rhythm of the match or even a midfielder who could organize attacks and I agree with your opinion. Haaland also can't do anything without his midfielders and as one of the great strikers he has one weakness when he is closely guarded by opposing defenders so he can't find a way to get out of that barrier.

In the next match, Rodri will be free from his card and he will strengthen Manchester City again, while KDB is likely to see him return to defend Manchester City in the middle of the season considering his injury is quite serious.

Liverpool drew away to Brighton and left 2 points on the table. Despite leading at half time they couldn't hold on to their lead and drew. I wouldn't have expected Brighton, who conceded 6 goals against Aston Villa, to be too focused in the Liverpool game but it looks like they recovered from that heavy defeat with ease. Both teams had European commitments during the week and were visibly tired.
In another game with the same scoreline Newcastle drew 2-2 away to West Ham. Newcastle, who managed to beat PSG with an excellent game during the week, failed to win this away game despite taking the lead. Despite losing the first half, Newcastle started the second half fast and scored 2 goals in 5 minutes with Isak, but they couldn't prevent the goal in the last minutes and drew.

This result was expected, we know how dangerous Brighton are from last season and they are replicating the same attitude of toughness this season making it very difficult for top teams to get a win against them. Playing away for Liverpool it was likely that the game will finish in a draw and so it was. The same as Newcastle United and westham, an expectated draw match which I don’t consider a bad result at all for all four clubs.
