Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Mr.right85]

I think, those players that made Manchester united dominated well last season have be released to other teams because their coach thought they are the ones causing the team not to progress not knowing that they are among the players that is helping the team to improve. Base on what is happening in this season, I don't think Manchester united will near that 5th position in the premier league table in this season, because many teams really prepared for this season to break some record that will make the whole world to celebrate them. Ten Hag did well last season, which their president have to consider to give him more chance to improve the team in this season, because Ten Hag sound like someone that have new things to help Manchester united to achieve.

Ten Hag has overhauled the Manchester United team according to his wishes but the performance of the Manchester United team has not improved. I think the Manchester United management has given enough time and freedom to Ten Hag and now he can be considered to have failed in managing the Manchester United team.
Manchester United's current poor performance is due to the large number of injured players and the Manchester United team is too dependent on its core players so that if there are several injuries there are no reserve players who have the quality to maintain the stability of the team, and this is because of Ten Hag's mistakes in developing the team In this case, no one else should be responsible for what is happening now except Ten Hag.

We no longer need to talk about last season, what is certain is that this season Ten Hag has improved and he failed, so in my opinion he deserves to be fired because since Ten Hag's arrival to the Manchester United team there has been no better progress for him. Manchester United team.

Yes, you’re right. Injury halts the progress of every team. Its been so unfortunate for Manchester United that with the Premier League season just eight matches in, no fewer than about 15 players have been injured or unavailable to the manager so far. The situation has ensured that Ten Hag  has been unable to pick his first choice XI once this season.
Somehow i think it’s the manager’s fault. His inability to rotate the squad cost them this. Last season, he used the same set of players in all competitions trying to win and qualify for the UCL. He’s supposed to be pragmatic amidst this injury worries to get result but he’s still relying on his first approach and things hasn’t been going well. Honestly he needs to get his team back on track, in what is becoming a perilously turbulent season, and prevent the crisis spiralling out of control.

[Despairo]

even though it's still early in the season but Manchester City has already suffered 2 defeats and Manchester City still has 30 more matches to play in the Premier League, I'm a little worried about Manchester City's current performance which is not yet completely consistent and the absence of 2 players in the main squad Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri will slightly affect their performance in facing matches in the Premier League and also in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola must take quick steps to replace these 2 players so that Manchester City does not experience a decline.

Rodri isn't injured, while De Bruyne will back in the mid December this year, from now until mid December there are 8 matches to go. So De Bruyne (hopefully) will able to play the next 22 matches. It's still enough for Manchester City to back become the champion since there are still many matches.

Manchester City might lose 3-4 matches since they will meet big clubs, but it will not ruin them in the long run.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Manchester United are not in the balance instance to fired Erik Ten Hag because the owners are turning the team into a complete jeopardy. The Glazers family have confidently refused to sell the club after opening hands to accept offers and making the statement that the higher bidder wins, but they refrained from selling it for unknown reasons. They forgets that they're running out of time and the best time to settle everything evolving the Red Devils should be carried out now.

Manchester United is in a tough spot right now. The Glazers are mainly focused on selling the club, so they're neglecting other important matters like the stadium, facilities, and even the team's performance. After all, who wants to invest in a team that's on the brink of changing ownership?

Looking on the other hand, Erik Ten Hag has done quite a good job for them but it would be only opportune for him to become a good version for United if he's able to elevate the club's standard in this tremendous moments.

I believe that Ten Hag might only have a real chance once Manchester United has a new owner. And there's no guarantee that he'll still be their choice. Rebuilding Manchester United in this uncertain environment is going to be a real challenge.

[jaberwock]

I can't even agree with your statement if de bruyne has only caused a little negative change for the club. De bruyne absent has been affecting the club a lot. Look at how big the contribution by him to thje manchester city since the previuos seasons.
De bruyne has been always contributing a lot in any season and he has been making so many assists and goals for manchester city even though people are always putting their focus into the haaland as a striker that was consistently scoring the goal for the club.
Haaland needs someone to support him. He can do nothing without de bruyne. Haaland's performance is not as good as last season.
It seemed to me that if haaland had been missing is aggresivity in scoring as many goals as possible. Haaland was a one tap striker. He needs someone to give him a chance.

I agree, him missing really changed their entire plan, not that they are terrible right now, I wouldn't call them doing badly neither, they are doing fine, but they really need him. I mean this is more about the system than the player as well, sure KDB is a great player but they also do not have any player like him, nobody could replace him, and not like you can get someone like him and bench them, lets assume that you bought a player that would be doing what KDB does, how are you going to convince them to just stay at the bench while KDB is playing?

You are going to just say "we will put you late in the game sometimes and you will play some FA games and that's it" and they will accept? Of course not, so they had nobody that could replace KDB and that caused the problem.

Manchester United is in a tough spot right now. The Glazers are mainly focused on selling the club, so they're neglecting other important matters like the stadium, facilities, and even the team's performance. After all, who wants to invest in a team that's on the brink of changing ownership?

Stupid clause from Glazer family with fantastic bod offer but finally they only sell club without including all facilities such as stadium, training center and other facilities. Manchester United fans most disappointed after failed negotiation and Sheikh Jassim have withdrew his decision to buy Manchester United although he gives offer £5billion. Right now, Manchester United fans have been accepted with decision from Glazer family become forever owner and difficult to see huge transfer fees player in the future depend they won't spent much money for signing top player.

I am waiting with Manchester United fans reaction will boycott all Manchester United home matches all competition after their club failed selling to Qatari billionaire and will any huge investor interested for acquisition Manchester United teams in the future?

[TastyChillySauce00]

I have been thinking about the drop in Haaland's form recently. First of all it is totally normal for any player of course. I have been just thinking about whether there could be a special reason affecting it as well. De Bruyne's absence came to my mind after that. The reason why is that there was a great relationship between these two players.  

De Bruyne was sending a lot of balls to Haaland to make him more active and effective in the attacking line. You know how great De Bruyne can pass the balls to his teammates. He is like a magician. I hope that Haaland can reach his usual level sooner or later. I'm still contented with his goal effort so far of course. But I would like to see him doing good during the full season as well.

Obviously, Manchester City's performance is not the same as last season, which I believe is due to the absence of one of their key players, De bryune, whose absence affects the squad honestly. However, Halaand's performance is not going well as you said if it's through mate Halaand's performance is not going well as last season, which is also due to the absence of kelvin De bryune, because when we said the key player who always assists Halaand in svoring

City played with the best squad last season. There's no even need to mention what was line up used by city but the key owned by de bruyne and rodri at this moment. The red card has forced rodri to go out for around three matches due to the serious foul. Haaland needs someone who can assist him.
Haaland can do nothing if there would be no player to supply him the ball but haaland is still having ambition to make a better result compared with the previous season. Haaland is a typical striker who was relying with one tap game play.
You can imagine if there was no good attacking midfielder who can supply him the ball. it makes haaland being useless caused by he needs someone to give him the ball and then he can one tap it into the back of the net.

Pep Guardiola must take quick steps to replace these 2 players so that Manchester City does not experience a decline.

Without these players Manchester City are less of a threat and we have seen that from the two matches they lost, they find it difficult to create decent chances as they used to and even their striker find it more difficult to score goals because there is no one in the team currently with the ability to detect his runs and give him good passes like Kevin De Bruyne used to. With these two players a absent their is every possibility of them suffering more loss if the coach does not change strategy.

Theire next match is against Brighton another strong side in the league even though they have been struggling in the past few matches i still think they can challenge Manchester City with city’s current performance.

Rodri isn't injured, while De Bruyne will back in the mid December this year, from now until mid December there are 8 matches to go. So De Bruyne (hopefully) will able to play the next 22 matches. It's still enough for Manchester City to back become the champion since there are still many matches.

Manchester City might lose 3-4 matches since they will meet big clubs, but it will not ruin them in the long run.

It may be enough for them to fight for a spot in the top 4 but if they should continue dropping points till when De bruyne returns it will be difficult for them to fight for the title and even when De bruyne returns it might take him time to regain himself properly. They will definitely lose matches and not just big matches because even smaller teams are now more dangerous to play when your team is not performing well.

I am waiting with Manchester United fans reaction will boycott all Manchester United home matches all competition after their club failed selling to Qatari billionaire and will any huge investor interested for acquisition Manchester United teams in the future?

As a Manchester United fan, I observe that the Gazler family has been excessively drawn-out in their efforts to sell the club. They even had the most trivial of reasons when they rejected a £5 billion offer from Sheikh Jassim. The Gazler family appears aggrieved by Sheikh Jassim's statement about restoring Manchester United to its former glory. The Gazler family feels hurt and seems unwilling to admit that Manchester United's current performance is lacking. WTF.

Since announcing that Manchester United would be sold, player transfers have felt incredibly challenging. It's as if they don't care about the sentiments of Manchester United fans right now. When there was an opportunity to boost player performance through Sheikh Jassim's ownership, Gazler made the process more complicated. As of now, fans are disappointed with the Gazler family's treatment.

In several matches, Manchester United's defensive performance seems extremely fragile. Even the style of play is struggling to evolve. It's not entirely Ten Hag's fault as the manager, but the club's management, which is causing disruptions, is also affecting the players' psychology.

Pep Guardiola must take quick steps to replace these 2 players so that Manchester City does not experience a decline.

Manchester City should be able to win this match because they will be playing at home so this will be an advantage for Man City, but we also cannot underestimate Brighton, he is not completely in bad condition, he also suffered the same 2 defeats as Manchester City and Brighton were in 6th position at the moment so this match is quite important for them to win points or Brighton will hold the match to a draw

Rodri's punishment will end in 1 more match against Brighton so I think this has also given Manchester City back a sense of security, it's just that for KDB it looks like Manchester City will have to wait longer.
The first 2 matches lost actually I think this is even though it is troublesome but it will not be a problem because they will stay on track, it's just that without Rodri and KDB against Brighton it is clear that this will again be a troublesome match especially with the absenc of a replacement and a suitable formation at this time and Brighton's strength which is currently quite good then this will be tiring again for Manchester City and this could also be  disturbing for their points.

Manchester City might lose 3-4 matches since they will meet big clubs, but it will not ruin them in the long run.

When De Bruyne, Rodri join Manchester City, Manchester City's attack will be stronger. De Bruyne picked up an injury while playing in the Champions League final and has not been able to return to action so far, but he is sure to join the team in December. 

Manchester City have only had two bad games at the start of the season and the rest they have done quite well and hopefully they will do well in the few games they have until next December. As Manchester City's most important players will be joining them in December, I think Manchester City will definitely do well in the rest of the season from December onwards. 

Although other teams are number one or number two in the table, I still believe Manchester City is the favorite for this season and they can definitely win the Premier League title this season.

[Majestic-milf]

Haaland is a pure poacher where he has good ball control and finishing but on the other hand when he becomes a pure poacher then indirectly this needs someone who can flow the ball for him because Haaland's style is not a type of picking up the ball and dribbling like Mbappe but he prefers to find a good position and wait for the ball to finish with accuracy and good body balance.
When the midfielders can't flow the ball well then this will be a problem for Haaland because he becomes closed and confused when the ball is not flowing well so this has an impact now when Manchester City lost several players like KDB and Rodri he became stuck and had difficulty gaining momentum.

I like the word "confused" you made use of and to me it fits most of his performance as of late. I feel he could need a little time out from the starting line ups, maybe he should be started from the bench because if you notice, eyes are still on him even when they know he's not the only threat bit for now, he has the most deadliest finishes. No doubt that Jullian is good but I feel the Spaniard just came into the scene not too long ago and even when Foden runs with the ball, all what most defenders have at the back of their minds is "stop that Norwegian giant from getting ahold of the ball" because chances of passing to him are likely.

The experience Manchester City is going through due to the absence of Rodri and Kevin De Bruyn should be a lesson to them. There is a need to groom a replacement that can stand for them during their absence or buy some player. Pep Guardiola should also change his strategy because teams are now aware that without these two players, the team is highly deficient, so if I were a coach, De Bruyn and Rodri would be my main targets. Brighton has not been a good side in the past few games, they lost games against Chelsea and heavily against Aston Villa. But it was an impressive display in their last game against Liverpool when they were to secure a draw against a very well-fortified side. Coach Roberto De Zerbi has always proved tactically sound, so City should expect a good fight in Etihad.

Of course, Halland, who is usually an attacker, is always optimal in attacking but is currently experiencing a slight decline in his game, with the absence of two current players Manchester City must find a solution to the absence of Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne, of course this is a problem for Mancity without these two pillars, Mancity lost twice in a row in the Premier League as well as Halland who experienced a decline in his game In these two defeats, Mancity appeared without its mainstay defensive midfielder Rodri. In his absence, Rodri seemed to greatly reduce Man City's strength in midfield. Moreover, Man City had already lost Kevin de Bruyne who was injured for a long time.

But The Citizens can still be considered champions without the two players, even though they are experiencing a decline due to the absence and injury of the two players, Mancity is believed to be able to get through everything and become champions. Halland can certainly play with the maximum in his game because even this season Halland is the best player. Even so, in my opinion, Mancity must be able to play optimally even without the presence of two absent players. although this weight must be able to pass them.

[Strongkored]

This is always an obstacle for any strong team when a main player suffers an injury, Liverpool has experienced this. I am sure Pep Guardiola will have a consistent strategy when facing Brighton because their opponent will not be a team that cannot be beaten.
In fact, it could be said that this season Brighton is not as impressive as last season then because it was proven that he had experienced several quite crushing defeats.
Based on Head to Head, Manchester City is quite far ahead, and my prediction is that this will be a match where Manchester City will again score more than two goals because we know that Brighton is a team that is quite open in their game, they almost never use defensive play, so City will take advantage of this well and both teams are very likely to score goals because City's defense is often easily penetrated by opponents, so choosing yes on BTTS has the opportunity to make a profit in my opinion.

I think it will be very difficult for the Manchester City team to find players who are comparable to Rodri and Kevin De Bruyn because these two players are so special, there are replacements but the quality will not be equal.
It is true that now there is a slight decline in Manchester City's performance because their two mainstay players are absent, but in my opinion Pep Guardiola's mistake was being too confident after they won everything last season so that this season the Manchester City team has not improved much/added other players to keep up. team stability, and this is the result.
However, I believe Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City team management still have a long time to improve this team so they can maintain what they got last season.

However, I believe Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City team management still have a long time to improve this team so they can maintain what they got last season.

Not only Rodri and Kevin De Bruyn, but Gundagon, one of Manchester City's most important midfield players has left the team. You may know Kevin De Bruyne has suffered a serious injury. We don't know when he can return to the squad. At the same time, Manchester City is not getting Rodri in the team either. It is quite understandable that Manchester City's performance has slowed down a bit due to the absence of such important players in the squad. It is almost certain that Guardiola will not find replacements for these players. I saw that nowadays Guardiola is rumored to be keen on adding Toni Kroos to the squad in the winter transfer window. But if it doesn't, maybe we will see a tactical change in the Manchester City match.

[rendravolt]

Manchester United is in a tough spot right now. The Glazers are mainly focused on selling the club, so they're neglecting other important matters like the stadium, facilities, and even the team's performance. After all, who wants to invest in a team that's on the brink of changing ownership?

Stupid clause from Glazer family with fantastic bod offer but finally they only sell club without including all facilities such as stadium, training center and other facilities. Manchester United fans most disappointed after failed negotiation and Sheikh Jassim have withdrew his decision to buy Manchester United although he gives offer £5billion. Right now, Manchester United fans have been accepted with decision from Glazer family become forever owner and difficult to see huge transfer fees player in the future depend they won't spent much money for signing top player.

I am waiting with Manchester United fans reaction will boycott all Manchester United home matches all competition after their club failed selling to Qatari billionaire and will any huge investor interested for acquisition Manchester United teams in the future?

In fact, the offer from Qatar will also waive all of Manchester United's current debts and the Glazzers are still ridiculously refusing the offer. I know that the Glazzers don't want to let Manchester United go no matter how much they pay because the Glazzers know that Manchester United is a business club, so the money offered is still not commensurate with Manchester United's big name which is already worldwide.

But indeed, from the perspective of Red Devils fans, the rejection from the Glazzers provoked their anger and of course many were angry when they heard this decision from the Glazzers. I don't know where this club will go in the future and when the city team continues to make new history in various competitions, Manchester United is still struggling with unfinished problems regarding ownership.

[Jatiluhung]

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.

I'm a bit uncertain about this year. It seems Man City won't secure their treble, and it's highly likely that they'll only bring home the League Cup to the Etihad Stadium. Despite the loss to Arsenal, Man City still remains the favorite to clinch the EPL title this season.

In terms of performance, Man City is still looking strong this season. However, the rumors about Pep Guardiola's interest in Toni Kroos may suggest a desire for midfield stability when coping with injury storms. Toni Kroos boasts excellent passing statistics and significantly influences the team's gameplay.

When the midfield is orchestrated by a top-class midfielder, goal machines like Haaland will undoubtedly find it easier to create scoring opportunities. There's no doubt about the clever attacking setup that Toni Kroos provides.

Pep Guardiola is usually this person who is always right in choosing good players for the club. I don't know how, but Guardiola always seems to have a sharp eye and instinct in choosing players. I don't care who Guardiola chooses because so far his choices have always been good. If the choice is Toni Kroos then I believe it would be the best choice for the club.

The midfielder position is indeed a central position or a position that determines the balance between the attack line and the defense line. So usually the players in this position are players who have stronger stamina and are also players who are good at reading the entire position of their friends on the field. Because their task is quite heavy. They have to help the attack line and also the back line. And so far Man City has good players for that position. But after Gundogan left I think it was a bit of a loss for the team. Even though Man City already has a replacement, when other players are injured then that can be another problem that arises. So this is where second tier players are needed who are just as good as the core players.

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.

Manchester City is currently experiencing difficulty in winning games, having absolutely everything to bother about this season. Perhaps it's just a temporary condition, which means they will definitely bounce back to winning ways. I'm still surprised to see Manchester City to crumbled this season, I thought they're untouchable but with the current situation on ground, they're just as any other ordinary club in EPL. Injuries affects all clubs in EPL and Manchester City have started suffering from it. Pep Guardiola have missed points on important games this season, they're currently sitting third position on the table.
