Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[harapan]

One thing I've found out about Harry Maguire is that whenever he's playing for the England national team, he's always marshaling out his defense skills to the best of his ability but finds it very difficult to replicate same whenever he's playing for Manchester United. This is the reason why I'm of the opinion that his poor defense mechanism whenever he's playing for Manchester United is caused by the manager Erik Ten Hag's kind of man-management.
If Maguire can be that good for England national team, he can also be better for United if only the manager can find the best way to manage the England international.

If that's true, I think Ten Hag needs to consult with Gareth Southgate regarding the best position and role that can be given to Harry Maguire, so that the former Captain United can unleash all the potential he has. At least in this way, Ten Hag has additional options in the defense sector, if Maguire can be played regularly again. It could be that at United Maguire lacked respect from his teammates, and in the end his self-confidence was not good which ultimately had an impact on his performance.

In fact, I hope Ten Hag can change the way he approaches players a little, so that it doesn't seem so rigid. It's not without reason that I say that, we have seen his conflict with Jadon Sancho which has not improved until now. As a leader at the club, Ten Hag should really understand how to treat young players, most of whom have tough characters.

Harry Maguire has worked  with three coach four five  seasons or less how many has he contributed firmly and won the best players of the year for Man United with his defending skills. You can not count a season  he did that and you say Man United coach should  work with Southgate over a poor defender.  It will not happen.
He is not a good defender not even a good leader.  He should have never signed for Man United. Rio Ferdinard will return from retirement and still do better than Harry Maguire.
Ten Hag and Sancho have stubborn personalities. Since Ten Hag remains the head of United who he wants to leave will leave.

Regarding the London derby in my opinion there are only two possibilities; one of the two could lose or both could draw.
~

  100% prediction, in any case you will be right.

At the moment, bookmakers' quotes for this game are as follows:

3.20 - 3.40 - 2.26

I'm surprised Arsenal are rated so poorly. Chelsea are a team in crisis with a weak coach and a chaotic squad, while Arsenal are the complete opposite. I understand that every team has a chance, especially at home, plus taking into account the derby factor, but it seems to me that Arsenal are undervalued.

[Jossque]

Lens had a very bad performance in the first 5 weeks. We can say that in the last 2 weeks they have started to come back in the league. This week's opponents don't seem to be a very difficult opponent for them. Even though it is a disadvantage that they are away, I expect Lens to win and prepare for the Champions League match. I don't expect them to have much difficulty in this match, but I don't know if they will rotate. They won't want to take the risk of some players getting injured, so we can expect a few players not to play.

[Altryist]

Derby always tends to be interesting and the form Chelsea are in right now, a win against Arsenal in London derby will give a big statement to Chelsea fans. Arsenal are certainly favourites but Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated with the squad they have. All it takes is one goal and defend till the end to win the game and if they have a perfect gameplan against Arsenal and execute it well then they also have a chance. However I am rooting in for Arsenal as they have got the lead against City and now we have to perform consistently and we have to win these kind of matches also which are a big hurdle for us in the title race.

This is a derby, that says it all, such matches are always difficult, Arsenal can also score a goal and play well in defense, and if we are talking about defense, Chelsea have conceded only 1 goal in the last 5 matches (if you count the match with Brighton in the FA Cup ), so they can play the match with good defense. Arsenal are the favorites in this match, everyone will agree, but Chelsea can cause them problems.

[ndutndut]

At least, because previously Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City, of course, this factor will make it predicted that Arsenal will also win against Chelsea. After all, we are all aware that Chelsea's situation and conditions have been devastated since last season, and have not improved until now. Therefore, it is natural that Arsenal remains the team that is projected to win this match and as such, the home and away factor is no longer important at this moment because on paper Arsenal will definitely win.

I will be a little different from you. Indeed, on paper Arsenal will be favorites to win the London derby this time, especially as Arsenal have never lost in the EPL league so far. But if in football we don't have to be 100 percent sure that Arsenal will win this derby, we have to leave a little luck for Chelsea. Even though home and away don't have an effect in a match, I have a little confidence that Chelsea can do it in this match.

Because this victory is very important for Chelsea to take advantage of their moment of revival when we know they have been in decline. Because in the EPL league there are always surprises where a team experiences mental decline but then they can recover without us expecting it. I don't mean to belittle Arsenal, but Chelsea can win because they need to bounce back and I believe Poch can recreate that winning mentality for Chelsea. Because he has good and talented players too.

[Weawant]

By the way, I don't have data about Pochettino against Arsenal, after all this is about Chelsea against Arsenal and not about the match between Pochettino against Arsenal. Although indeed, I also aware that in football at least anything can happen. But unfortunately, I think at this moment when we say that, at the same time we also hope for a miracle for Chelsea in this match, and I think it looks like Chelsea won't be able to surprise either. Because in my view, Chelsea still needs time to create better chemistry in the team, while Arsenal have made great improvements from last season too. Therefore, at least Arsenal have started better than Chelsea, so I believe that Arsenal has a better chance of winning than Chelsea in this match.

Going by statistics and H2H it's more likely for Arsenal to win as they have  a better record when compared to that of Chelsea most recently, Arsenal has really been brilliant this season and with wonderful results they have made good records as compared to that off Chelsea from the beginning of the season, so far Arsenal has done better.

Chelsea recently have recorded two wins just before the international break so it can be said they have their morale boosted currently and the can be ready to give a trial at Arsenal to test how well they have improved their ability to perform better as compared to how they started at the beginning of the season. But then Arsenal is at the peak of their confidence as they have won one of their biggest challenge in the EPL recently, they will most likely be very confident over Chelsea knowing the recent status of Chelsea, they would only have some strong resistance From Chelsea but then they are sure to get a win or draw but never a loss.

[un_rank]

Manchester City - Brighton

This is the match I am most excited to watch this weekend. On paper it looks to be an easy victory for the cityzens. They are playing at home and have turned that into a mini fortress where they almost always win. Recent defeats to Arsenal and Wolves were away from home.
They have also lost 2 straight games and will not be looking to lose a third game in a row.

Statistics also favor City to win. They have won all except two of all meetings between both sides, losing one and only one being a draw.

It is true and cannot be denied that Arsenal are better in all aspects this season than Chelsea, and the Gunners have greater ambition and opportunity to extend their unbeaten record when they visit Stamford Bridge. But of course this is not an easy job for Arteta squad because no matter how bad their opponents are this time, Chelsea status as a big team in the EPL that is difficult to beat cannot be underestimated. On the other hand, Pochettino squad will carry the ambition to improve their performance and try to hold back Arsenal progress. If they cannot beat them, then the most realistic target is to hold a draw if they feel that is enough. Because losing at home is very embarrassing and will put Pochettino and his players under pressure again.

Regarding the strategy of the two teams, I think Chelsea and Arsenal have prepared it well, especially since the two coaches have quite a long time due to the international break. An interesting match to determine the extent of Arsenal strength after beating Man City in the previous match, waiting for Arsenal ability to do it again against Chelsea.

That London derby match is a game that I'm going to stay glued to my TV till the end, I feel Chelsea will win that match, though arsenal looks like the favourite, but they are always a bit shaky whenever they meet Chelsea. Though this season hasn't been one of the best for Chelsea as their youngsters have been performing below expectation but they might just pull a stunt against Arsenal, because they will see it as a big match that they would really love to impress, besides they are the home team.

[temple]

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.

A very important game for the two sides, Arsenal are just coming off the back of their statement win against the champions and treble winners, whilst Chelsea that has been enduring a horrible start to the season have finally started winning games, and they'd want it to continue. On current form, Arsenal is the stronger of the two sides, but it might not matter when the game starts, Pochettino knows that he and his team need to make a big statement that they aren't push overs; and what better way to do it than to beat Arsenal.

Form yes, I agree because if you look at the past five games and who scored more points, no need to further analyze their forms. But I think this game is more interesting than it looks on paper as it is still a game at home for Chelsea and they were able to develop some self-confidence. If their is goal to show a great fight against a great team and also please everyone else in the Chelsea club, then this is the game they have been waiting for. If Arsenal wins, I don't think it will be a win with a high goal difference unless Chelsea falls apart towards the end of the game trying to come back into it while opening up their defensive line. But I predict a close game and I would say it is a 50:50 game with Arsenal winning vs. Arsenal not winning, meaning that there is a 50% chance Chelsea can win or tie this game in my opinion.

It seems that nothing has improved regarding the problems faced by Jadon Sancho to date and it is reported that Jadon Sancho has been excluded from the Manchester United squad photo session for this season. This is clearly a form of firm attitude from the Red Devils management and Erik Ten Hag certainly doesn't want any of his players to not obey his words.

This makes Jadon Sancho's position increasingly pressured and I think it is only a matter of time before his career finally ends at Manchester United. Seeing Jadon Sancho's stubborn attitude made him increasingly unmanageable at Manchester United and he had to immediately determine his next destination club if he was no longer comfortable at Old Trafford.

You are right, Chelsea's last 2 wins make a bookie a little confused to determine who is the favorite in this match, moreover the 2 wins were played in an away match this means that Chelsea are on fire and playing at home, on the other hand Arsenal also did not want to lose place in the standings of course they will fight to get points and replace Tottenham. This will be an interesting match and I can't predict who will win but for betting I already have an interesting option like both teams to score Yes, however the two teams will fight each other so that they have the potential to score each other.

[bitgolden]

Tottenham's main squad depth is good, but their substitutes are not so good. So far Tottenham are on track to fight for the title, but I don't give them much confidence as Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City look like they will get something big this season. I don't believe Tottenham could lead the standings until the first half was over, in fact I think they deserved 1 point against Liverpool if the referee's performance wasn't that controversial.

Fulham are a good and sometimes unpredictable team, so Ange Postecoglou should not underestimate them. Fulham could surprise everyone by beating Tottenham this week, but I believe Tottenham are the most likely favorites to win the match.

I do not think that they will be able to sustain even if they do not face any injuries or anything like that. I know that they look good for now but I do not think that they are as good as they seem. Kane must be angry right now . I mean he wanted his team to win for so many years and yet they ended up playing so badly, I think it's quite obvious that we are not going to end up with anything that would be damaging them and they will do fine but even right now just at this point, they are doing better than they expected and Kane never saw them lead the league for this long as far as I can remember and he must be pissed because of this.

I think it's quite obvious that we are going to end up with a result that would be good enough for them to be in UCL next season, and they can then sell Son too for a lot of money and basically use the money from Kane and Son to build a whole another team with a lot of more younger star level players as well.

Manchester City - Brighton

This is the match I am most excited to watch this weekend. On paper it looks to be an easy victory for the cityzens. They are playing at home and have turned that into a mini fortress where they almost always win. Recent defeats to Arsenal and Wolves were away from home.
They have also lost 2 straight games and will not be looking to lose a third game in a row.

Statistics also favor City to win. They have won all except two of all meetings between both sides, losing one and only one being a draw.

Manchester City must win this match because they are physically stronger and have more quality players than Brighton, even though Manchester City's main man KDB is still injured, but the engine of their midfield (Rodri) is expected to be back in the match, and for Manchester City to lose two consecutive Premier League matches away from home, I don't think they will lose this match, especially since Arsenal will be playing Chelsea and may drop points because Chelsea is playing Arsenal.

I'm betting on Manchester City to win the match with more than 2.5 goals because I know Haaland is hungry for goals and Pep will make some surprise alterations in his team's style of play so that they can easily win the match and remain in the top three of the Premier League table.

Man City isnt in a good form and they need to change it with a win here against Brighton. Not an easy opponent. Brighton keeps on getting points from big teams so Man City wont have an easy match at all against Brighton and with their bad form i think they will struggle against Brighton

Of course, this will be an interesting match this week, it could be said that this includes the big match between Man City and Brighton. Even though this match will be played at Man City's home ground, they should not underestimate a team like Brighton because we know that so far Brighton is the team that scores the most goals. This can be seen that Brighton has scored 21 goals in eight matches while Man City has scored 17 goals in eight matches.

In this match, Man City certainly had strong pressure against Brighton. They want to end the bad trend after losing 0-1 to Arsenal in the seventh week ago. This is a dangerous sign for Manchester City because their opponent is a scary dark horse.

Imo, Man City will win this match but they won't win easily even if they win with a small score.

Yes, I agree with you that though this match is going to be tough, Man-City has 100% chance likely to win this game coming up this weekend against Brighten, because from past records, it clearly shows that Man-City has always been at advantage while playing against Brighten, both home and away, and this weekend is not going to be any different, as Man-City will do its beat trying to recover its lost glory of all the recent games lost to both "Newcastle and Wolves" few weeks ago. But on a worst case scenario, this match is likely to end either goal/goal or Over2.5.

An interesting match to determine the extent of Arsenal strength after beating Man City in the previous match, waiting for Arsenal ability to do it again against Chelsea.

Arsenal look much better than Chelsea in all aspects. Hope for Chelsea is justified only by the fact that it is once a strong team, which is about to interrupt a series of their terrible performances and everything will start again, they will start winning and everything will be fine, but I think this is far from true, so I think it is not worth to put high hopes on Chelsea

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.

Personally, I want Erik ten Hag to apply this to every player registered in the Manchester United squad, especially Andre Onana and Altay Bayındır who are the points of discussion.
The negative impact will be quite large for Onana if the situation continues. The negative impact I mean is psychology.

Discussions surrounding Maguire are no longer in the main spotlight after he was replaced as main captain and became a bench warmer. As is known, talks have focused on Onana and Erik ten Hag already knows about it, but the former Ajax coach seems to be ignoring this development.

I don't blame either of them, Onana and Erik ten Hag. The essence of what we want is positive change for both and for the progress of Manchester United in particular.

[bayu7adi]

The current state of Manchester United has left everyone, particularly the younger generation, feeling thoroughly disappointed. Whether it's in terms of their on-field performance or the internal turmoil, things are quite chaotic. Even the players seem to be grappling with issues. It appears that Man United is experiencing one of its worst years in recent memory. The once-mighty and legendary Red Devils no longer strike fear into the world of football.

In reality, the problems at Manchester United became evident when Ralf Ragnick assumed the managerial role at Old Trafford during the 2021-2022 season. Ragnick expressed that what needed to be altered at Man United wasn't just the players or the coaching staff; it was everything. He even likened the situation to a surgical operation, stating that to heal Man United, its very heart needed fixing.

It's no secret that the Gazler Family engineered a cunning game plan to sell Manchester United recently. In my view, the heart of Man United today isn't Ten Hag, but rather the Gazler Family, who have been toying with the emotions of the fans.

At the beginning of this season, Manchester United had a poor start both in the English Premier League and the Champions League. If this trend continues, it could jeopardize the massive fan base of the legendary Manchester United, and a championship drought may become a recurring theme for the club.

In your opinion, who should shoulder the most blame for Manchester United's current performance? Is it the manager, Ten Hag? Is it the high-priced players? Is it the staff? Or is it the Gazler Family?
