Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Onana is having hard time at United but that doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper, plus after having a few bad games, players tend to get worse because of lack of morale and he may have lost his focus. When you try to go "this game I am going to be better and not screw up" the chances of you screwing up increases, because you are too focused on not making a mistake and that makes you make a mistake even more.

The new goalkeeper signed for the purpose as David de Gea replacement is having struggles to fit into his new team's system. It's usually normal for every goalkeeper in their first season but André Onana own seems to be worst because he's not showing or making any important improvement. Erik Ten Hag still believes in him to do a better job. André Onana is already screwing things up in his first season at Old Trafford. It's very important he bounced back to actions because he can't continue making significant blunders on the pitch which often leads to his team conceding irrelevant goals.

They caused great damage to Manchester United, especially in the Galatasaray match they lost at Old Trafford in the UCL. Because of the incorrect pass he made, the team was left incomplete and a penalty was awarded. They were lucky that Icardi missed the penalty, but they still lost the match. It was a season that started like a nightmare for Onana.

Aside from the game between Chelsea and Arsenal, another game I'm anticipating to be exciting and tough is the Liverpool Everton game( Merseyside derby). In a total of 242 meetings, Liverpool has won 98, drawn 77 and Everton has won 67. Judging by Liverpool's previous performance, this game may be an easy one but Sean Dyke's men have been known to create upsets too because, in their last five games, they have won three important ones and the game won at Brentford Ground sure boosted their confidence but they will need more than confidence to help them in that game because as it stands they are at the 16th position, and a win will be needed if they hope to get a little breathing space from the relegation spot.
 Liverpool have been known to come from behind to win a game and Brighton stopped that from happening before the international break. Will it happen again when they play hosts to Everton or will Alison Becker keep a clean sheet this time?

Instead of wasting too much time on analysing the Liverpool and Everton fourth coming game which is already known to be at the Liverpool advantage judging from previous performance and records with current available players and squad that are currently present in the liver own team, it seems to be that Liverpool will indeed have a slide winning in the game.


Back to Arsenal and Chelsea also, Chelsea is in their best form right now from the results of the recent games it show a lot has changed with Asernal and it could become a tough match for Arsenal to defeat Chelsea in the game, but then also, we must not underrate the continuity ability of Arsenal to defeat Chelsea just as their did to Manchester City.

I feel a little sorry for Rasmus Hojlund, even though he has quite good quality but unfortunately his team mates cannot fully support him, currently United's Manchester United performance is very bad and this happens on all fronts so that quality players like Rasmus Hojlund are not able to do much.
So I think it is very unfair to compare Rasmus Hojlund with Haaland because both players are in different places.
Erling Haaland is a little lucky because he plays in the Manchester City team with full support from his teammates so Erling Haaland can bring out all the abilities he has so that Erling Haaland's true quality can be seen.

This is also what I have in mind when talking about the two players, Rasmus Højlund and Erling Haaland have the same playing character where they are very dependent on their teammates and the difference is that Haaland gets that at Manchester City while Højlund gets it quite minimally, especially as both players play in the same league at different times where Haaland is already more experienced in this league while Højlund has only played a few times so he still really needs full adaptation until he can show what the club expects.
Manchester United bought Højlund is priced quite high and of course the club's talent scouts are aware of the potential that this player can show, but everyone needs time and immediately judging that he will not develop in this team after just a few games is quite unfair in my opinion.

I remember a few weeks ago during the summer when Rasmus Højlund joined Manchester United, people were comparing Rasmus Højlund and Erling Haaland because they have the same playing style and Rasmus Højlund could be a good and talented played like Haaland for Manchester United but it seems Manchester United is currently not a good place for young players to use their talents and that's why Rasmus Højlund totally failed so far in Manchester United.

The game is quite important for Liverpool and shouldn't be underestimated at all. After all if they fail to win it they would have three consecutive games without winning in the Premier League and that, frankly, would remind me of their weak times they had last season. It would still not be too catastrophic because the other teams have dropped points thus far as well, but in light of many fans hoping that Liverpool can finally be almost invincible again, this would mark a bad momentum for them.

The Arsenal and Chelsea game is the one that most are looking forward to because on the one hand it could be the first serious sign of life for Chelsea if they win it, whereas on the other hand it could also underpin Arsenal's goals for the season.

It was a season that started like a nightmare for Onana.

Nevertheless, I think many people understand that he works at his best and the blame should not be on him, but at least on the defence, which makes mistakes, sometimes critical, which the goalkeeper cannot cope with. You can see that Onana is not to blame for the defeats, he plays his position 100%.

We will start the new week with the Liverpool-Everton match. I expect Liverpool to make no mistakes in this match. It seems normal to expect them to defeat the opponent with scores like 2-0, 3-1.
Manchester City will host Brighton at home. City staggered a bit in the race with 2 consecutive defeats in the league but they will recover. They have a tough opponent in front of them and if they can overcome this obstacle, they will enter an important recovery phase for themselves.
Another important match of the day will be the Chelsea-Arsenal clash. Chelsea have been winning for the last 2 weeks and they seem to be slowly coming back to themselves. Arsenal will not want to be defeated in this tough away game. I think Arsenal will not lose.

The new goalkeeper signed for the purpose as David de Gea replacement is having struggles to fit into his new team's system. It's usually normal for every goalkeeper in their first season but André Onana own seems to be worst because he's not showing or making any important improvement.

I will explain why Andre Onana's situation is not something that normally happens to newly recruited goalkeepers. I don't expect you to believe it, but I think Andre Onana was not given the opportunity to observe Manchester United's game from the bench by Erik ten Hag after several matches where he was deemed to have made a blunder.
Give him the opportunity for at least 4 matches. Not only that, Erik ten Hag always plays Onana in all competitions like no other goalkeeper needs to be played.

We will start the new week with the Liverpool-Everton match. I expect Liverpool to make no mistakes in this match. It seems normal to expect them to defeat the opponent with scores like 2-0, 3-1.

Liverpool at Anfield is a team that looks almost impossible to defeat; in addition, they are now in form and are willing to compete for the Premier League title; therefore, I expect them to beat Everton by two or more goals because they are trying to recover after the draw they played against Brighton in their last Premier League match before the break.

Manchester City will host Brighton at home. City staggered a bit in the race with 2 consecutive defeats in the league but they will recover. They have a tough opponent in front of them and if they can overcome this obstacle, they will enter an important recovery phase for themselves.

This match is a must-win for Manchester City because they have gone two Premier League games without winning, which results in them dropping to the third spot in the Premier League table, two points behind Arsenal and Tottenham, so winning this match will be of help for them to recover because they have high-intensity matches ahead of them.

Another important match of the day will be the Chelsea-Arsenal clash. Chelsea have been winning for the last 2 weeks and they seem to be slowly coming back to themselves. Arsenal will not want to be defeated in this tough away game. I think Arsenal will not lose.

The match will not be easy to predict because both teams need to score three points to maintain their standing.
Chelsea will want to prove to the world that they have fully recovered, while Arsenal will want to keep their consistency and focus on winning all their matches in order to have an advantage in winning the title this season.

I can't agree any less, with the current situation of Manchester united there are less chances for young talents to thrive, Ramus hojlund is such a young talent with great potential, even in Manchester united where it seem like an atmosphere not fit enough for his talent he is still doing well with the efforts he has put in so far, his performance so far at most games could be considered excellent enough.

Haland would most likely not perform well if he were to be at Manchester united currently because even in Manchester city where he currently is, a close look at him and you will observe he isn't a play Maker but a goal scorer, he could mostly be used to get goals but he isn't very good with creating chance's and I don't think he has got a good number of assist, so I feel it would have been worse at man u.

He is a good and talented player regardless but Ramus have a better creativity than he probably does, although you can choose not to agree with me but this is my position on how I see them both and considering their current environment where they are currently playing.

When you try to go "this game I am going to be better and not screw up" the chances of you screwing up increases, because you are too focused on not making a mistake and that makes you make a mistake even more.

Indeed. It is not easy to adapt with Man United game style, he is also trying to adapt with EPL atmosphere. Moreover, Man United defense looks not playing solidly, they played underperformance. In this situation, we must understand how difficult for Onana playing as the main GK in Man United squad. Personally, I don't blame him because of too focused, he already tried his best. Although he did some mistakes, I think he still has a good ability as a GK. Ten Hag needs to give him more time to prove his quality.

Stress on these players are at all time high and they did fine last year, finished third and he is one of the new guys, he will be thinking all these fans are saying they were third with de gea and they are terrible with Onana, so that makes him worried too. All these combined makes him even worse, but normally he was fine last year.

In the last season, Man United did quite good performance during the season. They finished in the 3rd place, it was a good achievement in the first season of Ten Hag as Man United coach. In the current season, it is already the second season for him, people expect more from Ten Hag. But with some problems in Man United squad, we can understand that Man United is decreasing their performance now. However, I'm sure Man United will be better soon although it looks like getting worse.

It's very important he bounced back to actions because he can't continue making significant blunders on the pitch which often leads to his team conceding irrelevant goals.

If i was to suggest, I will say that he Onana should be on the bench for sometime and let the second goalkeeper start the matches. This might make him feel bad that he is about to lose his position as number one and he might wake up and start taking his job very serious because I don't see him like someone that knows that he is messing up with his career in Old Traford. I don't know why Onana is finding it very difficult to coupe in United compare to his brilliant performance in Inter last season.

Sick and exhausted of talks related to Manchester United, you know right? They complete dead club whoever supports Manchester United still is indeed a die hard fan.
Onana dropped or not will not chase the glazers out of the club, thats got to be the long term plan all over.
Indeed still dropping Onana this weekend seems like a beautiful plan, he hasn't boosted the defense and the defense haven't done so. Most Manchester United fans now regret supporting the exit of David De Gea.

At Anfied, Liverpool are Gladiators. But the fact that it's a derby game makes it tough, Everton would be ready to share points with the reds which is not being considered by Liverpool.

Currently Liverpool's game, especially when playing at home they do play very well and the fact that they still haven't lost a single home game this season is proof that Liverpool are still very strong for the final result but they also still have some gaps especially when we see the match against Brighton in the previous week they even have to concede the ball first which indicates that they still have gaps in the scheme they are doing this season.
But it's nothing to worry about because facing Everton at the moment I don't think it will be a big problem for Liverpool and against Everton later after the domestic competition is off because this international competition will be 3 points back for Liverpool.

Erik Ten Hag needs to provide opportunities for other goalkeepers to appear instead of just relying on Andre Onana to appear in all competitions. Currently Manchester United has three different competitions including the Premier League, League Cup and Champions League. Andre Onana can appear in two competitions between the Champions League and the Premier League, but Ten Hag has to play another goalkeeper so that Onana can observe the performance of other players.

I agree with you about little things like that, but it feels like Ten Hag has put too much faith in Andre Onana so far. If in the next match Onana makes another blunder or fatal mistake, then I think it would be good for him to be on the bench for several matches.

Harry Maguire is not a defender anymore. He is someone who you would like to see in the outfit of your opponent, not yours. After so many incredible mistakes that he made, I am definitely surprised that he is still in the Manchester United squad. And the thing is, he still plays regularly as the first-team player. That actually amazes me a lot. And meanwhile, we have the quote saying that he is still a very important player for the squad. Honestly, I think the coach has gone mad. He should be checked if his mental health is actually okay or not.

I believe there's another perspective on Ten Hag that might be worth considering as to why Maguire still deserves to be in the starting lineup. It's true that many people use Maguire as a punchline when he makes a mistake, but statistically, Maguire holds his own when compared to other defenders at Manchester United.

Comparing Harry Maguire’s Stats to Man United Teammates After ‘Ridiculously High’ Win Claims

Believe me, sometimes what we see on TV and the narratives spun by netizens can be overly sensationalized. However, Maguire is a highly-valued defender at Manchester United. His presence in the team is certainly not for trivial reasons.

[Rengga Jati]

This happens most times when there is high expectations about a particular player in a new club. The media, the fans and even the management expected much from Onana, especially after an excellent champions league outing with Inter Milan. Ordinary, if Manchester United isn't a big club, Onana would have fitted so easily but because the club is so popular and have struggled to return to what they are known for since Alex Fergie left the club.

Yes, we definitely know how this news spread since the rumors about Onana going to Man United and after joining they also explained how high their expectations were of Onana. Many people are very optimistic that Onana can make Man United even stronger. However, it seems like they might not remember, if Man United is a united team, which in fact if a goalkeeper is very good but not accompanied by good tactics and good team solidity and strength, then the results will not be optimal. It is impossible for a goalkeeper to be able to guard the goal alone. He needs the defense as a shield, while he is the last spear of defense who can prevent the ball from getting into the goal as much as possible. This is what Onana seems to find difficult to do. Because he also needs that support and while in reality, Man United's defense is very bad, however, Man United's performance in all lines is not that good.

There is Altay Bayındır who was brought in by Manchester United at the close of the previous season transfer from Fenerbache but indeed until now he also still cannot prove his capacity on the field because Manchester United, especially Ten Hag, still entrusts the position of goalkeeper to Onana and hopes Onana can develop more in the current situation which sometimes cornered him.

I think giving this young goalkeeper a chance is still pretty good but indeed giving more trust to Onana must also still be done so that he can rise and Manchester United's purchase is not in vain only if in the end Onana still cannot meet the expected expectations then I think Manchester United will definitely take steps and make a new scheme with Altay Bayındır as a goalkeeper.

I don't think it will be difficult for Liverpool to defeat Everton this season because their performance has been poor and I am confident they will lose against Liverpool because they are stronger than them this season. Liverpool has been performing well since the season began and they are trying their hardest to win their matches because they want to qualify for the Champions League next season.

If Liverpool continue to play well they can even win the Premier League trophy, but he will be very difficult for them this season because Arsenal are in hot form this season, winning large clubs now, and they will still upset Chelsea this week because Chelsea are not performing well in preparation for Arsenal, Brighton are in good form this season which is why Liverpool fail to defeat them However, Liverpool play well I can't complain about that match because both clubs perform admirably on the field.

The glaziers don't have any plans for Manchester united, they're gradually turning into a mediocre team, instead of the glaziers to sell to a bidder that would invest in the club and take them back to glory days, they prefer to sell to someone that would own 25% shares in the club and then they retain owner, control the comercial aspect of the club and continue milking them like they've been doing over the years.

 It's too bad they had to let a player who won the golden glove for the club by keeping 17 clean sheets last season leave all because he wasn't good with his and doesn't suit ten hags pattern of football, i think Onana is like a punishment to them for their unfair treatment to David De Gea cause they didn't even give  him a proper farewell.

 Even though the match against Liverpool vs Everton is a derby Liverpool are way better than Everton this season and would beat Everton at home, i don't expect a draw but a straight win from Liverpool to get all three points.

Because he also needs that support and while in reality, Man United's defense is very bad, however, Man United's performance in all lines is not that good.

The rumors and speculations stated by you were made by fans because they were judging by his most recent performance at his moat recent club where they made it to the finals in the champions league and it felt so much like it was a good replacement for de gea since the team was no longer able to meet up with his demands anymore.

Although it's not turning out the way it was expected because he is currently performing below expectations, even not enough as compared to when he was in his former team but then we are still expectant that he will probably improve and at least give performance equal that which he had at his immediate pass team. Onana isn't a bad keeper yet but he is taking too long to give the desired performance expected of him, no doubts he is talented and still young, it's also true Manchester united is suffering some defensive error and poor defensive chemistry but it's still very possible he still be exceptional amidst this, de gea had the same set of defenders and he used the opportunity to be even exceptional by covering up their errors with some fantastic saves.
