Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[pusaka]

Kevin De Bruyne is one of the most valuable players for Manchester City without doubt. His absence due to injury is really unlucky for them as well. However I don't think this would affect them deeply anyway. Because they are still one of the strongest teams in Europe now. They are full of world stars playing in coherence together.

It definitely had an impact and there had to be other options for Manchester City when De Bruyne was absent from their squad for a long time because they struggled to control their attacks and their ball flow became unstable.
The presence of players like Rodri can be an option, it's just that at this time Rodri is also still receiving punishment for card accumulation which we know that he still needs at least 1 more match for his sentence to be completed.
This is clearly inconvenient because the absence of KDB and Rodri makes their 2 matches lose points but for the championship problem it is clear they are still favorites because this will only have an impact for a few matches not as a whole.

There has been some drop in their form recently but it is no problem at all. I remember Manchester City having way worse times in one season and they were way behind the leader. But they still made an unforgettable comeback and won the title by a serious point gap.

City are used to winning the league from behind, they stay as close as possible to the top of the table, and once we get into the second half of the season, they hit top gear, start their long winning run, usurp whichever team in on top and then go on to win the league, they did it to Liverpool a couple of times and they did it to Arsenal last season.

Having said that, things might be different this season, but that is only if the other top clubs remain consistent, i am pretty sure there is no team in the league that wants City to win four in a row, but they have to stop them on the pitch, and we'd see how things pan out.

Manchester City is theoretically unstoppable with many top international stars playing with their national team and driving City to victories but sometimes even with an excellent coach and good players, there is moment of failure..
Regarding the performance of teams, I think Manchester City could resist in the long run and will get back their first spot and might win Champions League again. I find it as the best team and I keep voting early for it here to be the winner again and again.

Manchester City has taken an interest in signing Toni Kroos:
Manchester City appear to be looking for a veteran presence to replace Ilkay Gundogan in midfield. Spanish outlet Defensa Central reports that Real Madrid is targeting Toni Kroos as a free agent in 2024.
His contract at Madrid expires next June, and his age means he could negotiate with clubs outside Spain when the January window opens; if City join, they can offer a pre-contract deal to see him move to Manchester once his current contract expires.Kroos fended off interest from clubs in the United States and Saudi Arabia in the summer before signing a new one-year deal with Real Madrid, but that decision is likely to be tested by Manchester City afterwards. The same report in Spain suggests City is willing to offer Real Madrid a two-year contract for twice the current salary of £6.8 million.

Manchester city definitely still have chances to get the league title, but then if it happens they win the League title again it will begin to make the league boring because it will be the third or forth time In a roll so it's going to look like the winners are certain already there's nothing to looking forward to in the premier league, so I would love to see Arsenal or Liverpool get it this season.

They are the only teams who has the potential to probably win, they are doing well and have matching strength enough if they could get city out of the way, but I fear city is putting as much efforts as they are putting into the UCL so they may want to get a big combo by the end of the season. If they get the UCL again it will be two in a roll they have gotten so far but then it may not play out that way as they have got too many strong contenders in the UCL

Manchester City only are 2 points less than Tottenham and Arsenal and Premier League has 30 more matches till its ending. With deep player resource, Manchester City has big advantage in a long run with other clubs and I have no doubt about this advantage of Manchester City against Tottenham and Arsenal.

Those competitors are strong and competitive, temporarily have excellent forms but in a long run, they will need a lot of luckiness to have as less injured cases as possible in their clubs, to compete with Manchester City for the crown.

Manchester City is theoretically unstoppable with many top international stars playing with their national team and driving City to victories but sometimes even with an excellent coach and good players, there is moment of failure..

They can not win all matches and their win streak can be stopped by any team and they can not win trophy in all Premier League seasons. Their domination in Premier League is clear and in last 6 seasons, only Liverpool won it in one season. This is evidence for Manchester City domination in the league but they are rebuilding their team after Gundogan, Marez left their team and some key star players begin to have more problems with their bodies like De Bruyne. Soon Manchester City will reach to a season they will be no longer as strong as normal and will give more chances for other clubs to take the trophy.

With Gundogan out and De Bruyne out of the squad due to injury, Manchester City's midfield is now quite depleted. However their performance is still very strong due to Guardiola's excellent match tactics and good understanding between the players.  But I believe Guardiola is well aware that winning the Premier League and Champions League titles with a shaky midfield will not be possible for them.  This is probably why he is now interested in Toni Kross.

But so far this seems to be my complete rumor, Real Madrid are yet to add an experienced striker to their squad. In this case if Toni Kross leaves the team,  Madrid's performance will become weaker. Madrid will probably try to keep Kross in the squad for one more season.

Mistakes must have been learnt but not completely. Arsenal is still yet to sign a perfect replacement for Saka just incase Saka gets Injured for a long time.
Neto the Portuguese winger has been linked to gunners, I do hope he gets signed up.
Mikel Arteta had a good squad last season, he wasn't having enough depth and replacements for important players.

Against Manchester City, they played well and Mikel Arteta did his part well also. He brought in the perfect players to win him the game and also to hold down the game for him.

Arsenal should have learnt from their mistake last season and i believe they won't like to take chances, they would had won the league if not for the injury crisis they had last season that cause them to drop points, therefore they've got good substitutions for some of their attackers for instance Trossard is a fine sub for Martinelli but as Saka got injured the team still did good against Man City without him, however they'll still need to get suitable substitute player for him cause they might not be always lucky playing with him or a good substitute for him.

 I think more additions should be included by the winter windows they'll need to strengthen all part of their squad against injury sp as not to share same fate as last season's, well i enjoyed their game against city it was very interesting, they gave there best amd it was very good enough to secure them the three points.

While they were really that good last season, they missed out on the league championship because they were unprepared. It was going very well until a certain week, when they fell behind after losing their most important weapons. Since Arsenal beat Manchester City this season, they have grown a lot in my eyes right now.

It's not a bad start, really. Chelsea have had good wins in the last few weeks, much better than last season. Arsenal have to win this match by all means if they want to win the league championship this year, there is no room for mistakes like last season. I predict that both teams will play safe in this match and there will not be too many goals. Under 2.5 seems ideal to me.

My belief Arsenal is definitely going to make the squad better by bringing in new players in the next transfer window. You might know Arsenal already lost the English Premier League title twice where they could have easily won. And yes I agree that had happened because they had some problems. However, you know they are not going to take any chance again. In my opinion, not anytime soon. That is why they are going to bring in players that will make the squad stronger. And another thing is they will also have to remember that in this season the competition is going to be harder. So they literally cannot fuck up at all.

There is no Kevin De Bruyne in the squad will have a big impact and so far Manchester City have suffered consecutive defeats in several previous matches without the best midfielder that Belgium has. They are still the strongest team in Europe and the problem is that they cannot achieve a promising victory without the presence of an energetic midfielder and losing several other players due to injury could also result in Manchester City losing.

The tight competition schedule has caused several players to experience fatigue and injuries, this condition will be quite dangerous for Manchester City and this condition cannot be attributed to last season because currently several clubs in the Premier League have shown big changes. So the competition will be much tighter and especially they play in the Champions league.

Problems keep coming for Manchester United and now their defensive midfielder, Casemiro, is reportedly suffering from an ankle injury. Casemiro suffered an injury during the World Cup qualifying match between Brazil vs Venezuela and he was forced to continue playing until he finally experienced severe swelling before being replaced by another player. I think Casemiro is overreacting and if he was in pain he should have asked the trainer to replace him earlier. Casemiro also did not train with Manchester United and is currently still waiting for further news. I think he should be able to think that if he gets seriously injured then the team he plays for will also suffer a loss and here Manchester United is again feeling the impact of losing Casemiro.

Manchester City have face consequence when losing the important player Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri, loss two matches in a row is proof how Pep Guardiola scheme not really working with absent both player exactly Rodri absent have bigger impact. In Champion League, Manchester City still in the winning trend but faced difficult in Premier League match after defeating by Wolves and Arsenal. Next match, Manchester City against Brighton Albion and possibility with Pep Guardiola stopping loss trend and return to top perform.

Have many days with international break give time for Pep Guardiola looking for right replacement for Rodri and De Bruyne position, will next match against Brighton Albion back to winning trend? or Manchester City have get third loss in Premier League and become bad start for Premier League tittle race.

[len01]

From the stats I gathered, I think Manchester city are still well in check in the title race and the reason for this set back they are currently experiencing is just because of the absence of the main backbone of this Manchester city side which is the present of Kevin de byrune. His absence has been really felt by this team and I think the faster he recovers the better for the team.

to win the title in the EPL, Man City is still strong enough to do it, even to get the title in the UCL, Man City and Guardiola are still able to do it even though sadness occurred when De Bruyne had not recovered from the injury he suffered. but that does not mean losing the injured player. Man City will be weak on one side as long as the team still has Haalanda, Rodri will definitely improve his performance little to get the title that has been planned. even if Rodri is not as good as De Bruyne, his talent is good, but he can replace the role other injured players to continue to secure victory.

In the upcoming match, they will compete against opponents who are not strong enough, such as Brighton, and in the UCL match, Man City will have to face Young Boys and this is also not a strong team for Guardiola. so the next 2 matches will be very easy to beat but you have to be a little consistent because the match schedule has a slightly closer break but I am quite sure Man City will still shine at the top of the standings at the end of season.

@rendravolt I’m not surprised he’s got injured too because he’s been playing non stop and he should have been rested long back by Ten Hag to ensure that he’s remains fit for the long run. Furthermore Manchester United board have launched an inquiry as to why so many player’s are getting injured and the most obvious answer is Ten Hag failure to rotate his squad and inability to provide rest to his player’s.

it was because of Ten Hag's lack of confidence in the players on the team. He was very confident in the players he chose in the squad, but when they experienced problems with fitness and cards, Ten Hag had no other solution to form a strong squad.

However, this is only the beginning of the season and if Ten Hag does not improve the performance of all the players in the team, then they will experience a decline in the standings. Ten Hag clearly knows United's problems, but he is having difficulty finding solutions.

Last season, Man City actually experienced a fairly bad decline in performance. But it does not last long. They only slumped slightly in the Premier League when they were more focused on the Champions League which is currently at the semi-final level and heading towards the Final. So at that time Man City in the Premier League experienced several defeats and draws. But when they managed to produce good results in the Champions League, Man City proved again that they would also be stronger again in the Premier League. So last season Man City won 3 competitions at once, namely the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League.

Maybe this time nothing will be different. Injuries to several players have indeed caused Man City to experience a slight decline, but this is definitely only temporary and when the players recover, Man City will return to their best performance. But if injuries attack other core players again, perhaps Man City won't get many trophies this season.

And also, even though Ten Hag has been the coach of Manchester United since last season, he seems to have not found or created the character of this team so that in every match he only relies on a few players which makes the Manchester United team very difficult if the main player is injured, as happened At the moment.
And now the situation is increasingly difficult for Ten Hag to be able to make Manchester United recover from its downturn because of the many injured players.
I think this is all clearly Ten Hag's fault.

Bournemouth and Sheffield are two teams that have never won so far and I think the chances of these two teams getting closer to the relegation zone this season. Even so, Bournemouth probably have a better record with 3 draws which saw them collect 3 points and Sheffield is so bad with only collecting 1 point from one draw and the rest they lost. In the next match, maybe Bournemouth will have the opportunity to add 3 points against Wolves next week, especially this time they are the hosts and for Sheffield, maybe this will be a match that can do wonders for them because it is against Manchester United.

These two teams are currently the bottom two teams in the Premier League after eight matches; Bournemouth already had three points from three draw matches; they are one point behind Burnley, who have just won one match, lost six, and drawn one so far this season, while Sheffield United have so far had just one point out of all the eight games they played; therefore, I expect Bournemouth to win the match because they have had a good performance compared to Sheffield United.

Sheffield must be able to take advantage of the poor results achieved by Manchester United so far and even though in the previous match Manchester United won dramatically, in fact they still had a very difficult time scoring first. Sheffield must force Manchester United to lose points and they must take advantage of the opportunities that exist to take the lead first and then defend fully. I know it's a bit difficult but Sheffield will have to try because they haven't had one so far.

I don't think Manchester United can lose their match against Sheffield United because they really need consistency in their games in order to keep fighting for the title or top four. Therefore, for them to have consistency, they need to win their next match before facing Manchester City.

Well, as a team that has not been able to win so far this season, it is definitely going to be hard for Sheffield United to be able to win the match against Manchester United. if anything, Manchester United is going to look at this as an opportunity to get three points. Manchester United should look at this and realise that they have not performed well at all this season, and this is a golden chance for them to win a match and probably get things back on track. I think if Manchester United even loses one point, it is not going to be acceptable. Well, if they drop points, they are going to get only one point from this match if it is a draw. And if they lose it is going to be hilarious.

But who knows, probably Sheffield United will be able to take advantage of the inconsistent form of Manchester United.

De Bruyne has helped Manchester city to achieved so many titles that made the team the best in the premier league and UEFA champions league competition that made their coach to love him more than other players in the team . Truly De Bruyne absence has caused Manchester city little negative change which their coach need to do something fast to help the team to recover from the two matches they experienced defeat from their opponent, because their position in the premier league table has be dropped down and their points also. I believe, Erling Haaland is doing a great work to help the team to achieved victory in some matches despite the absence of some of their potential players in the team but he still prove to fans in a positive way.

What do you think, guys? Is that really happening, or is it just a rumor? Give us your thoughts

I still can't understand Pep no matter how he makes things to be plain, like what is Pep Guardiola cooking this time around? Where other managers sees players who are above 30 as a problem Pep just have to go and make something great out of them, I so much love the way he goes about business.
Some would ask, what does Toni Kroos have to offer at his age. I believe Pep Guardiola can't get his eyes off Gundogan's style of play that's why he's going for the Madrid man, well I feel that's another addition to the Citizens and they can do anything to get his signature.

Lack of trust in other players will make a team less solid and difficult to build good cooperation. If it continues like this, Erik Ten Hag will have difficulty seeing that Manchester United condition is increasingly declining, especially since many of its players are injured and Erik Ten Hag Hag is having problems with Jadon Sancho so it is very likely that Erik Ten Hag will experience a lot of pressure in this position and it is possible that Erik Ten Hag will be fired because he is unable to improve the club which continues to decline.

Next week Manchester United will face a match in the Champions League, I am a little worried about Manchester United current performance to be able to face matches in the Premier League and also in the Champions League.
