Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Alpha Marine]

Chelsea currently with Pochetino have quite good development. This means that there is visible progress in Chelsea's training pattern. It seems like the fans just have to be patient and enjoy the process. I think Chelsea should keep him. He's a good coach and has a lot of quality in the League. If they rush to change coaches, I think it will create new problems because players need to adapt again.

A couple of wins shouldn't fool you. I'm not saying Pochettino should be sacked, but saying he's a good coach for having a few wins is reaching.
We've seen Pochettino in other clubs, we know how he is, and it's the same thing he's doing at Chelsea.
He made Tottenham a formidable team, but he couldn't win any itrophy, he was inconsistent when you needed the wins the most.
The same thing happened in PSG. He won the league, but barely and that was because of the difference in quality between PSG and other French teams.
Even if Chelsea doesn't want to sack him, they should start exploring for better options because I don't think Pochettino can return them to glory.

I believe that this season will again be close until the last maybe 4-6 weeks and then Manchester City will have found their best pattern and flow and they will win their games inexorably. Then it will again beg the question whether the teams that are still involved in the competition for the title can go at the same pace and not suddenly lose consistency. There is no way around being consistent at the end of the season when a team wants to win the Premier League title, which is probably against Manchester City. Since Arsenal has now gone through this experience once, I think this will help them if they get into the situation again this season.

The title this season will be close not that because Arsenal have grown stronger but because there are other teams actually coming to take advantage. The likes of Liverpool who have in the last five years except last season are back to at least a little form of them been considered as tittle challengers. Another surprise package is Tottenham Hotspurs who are yet to lose a game like Arsenal this season are also looking strong and could actually be surprise this season. There are many that rule them out but I don’t because they have a bit of squad to help them and they don’t play other European competitions, moreover they have a very tactical coach that could spring us surprises this season.

The major reason although why the title will go to the wire is because of Manchester city lacking a proper squad like last season. Rodri missed two games and they failed to win them and losing both, which shows they have a very weak squad and should he get injured for a long term then it will be difficult for them

That's an additional challenge yes. I didn't want to ignore them at all and you are right that for now it seems like we will have an extended field of contenders that are in it for the title. I think the strength of the favorite teams is closer to each other. Manchester City isn't winning every game with 3 or 4 goals scored and Liverpool finally understands again how to win games. Arsenal and Tottenham must be considered and after this 4-0 win for Newcastle, I don't think they can be ignored at all. They are a bit behind, but if they can win some of their games against teams from the first 8 or so, this could quickly turn into their favor and they may leave some more teams behind them.

[EL MOHA]

I expected one more goal from Arsenal, I lost all hope but Arsenal got me wondering and surprised, I think Chelsea are the lucky ones here. They should be thanking there stars because I could'nt believe Chelsea will pressurize Arsenal today. I actually blamed Arteta for today match. I believe Trossad will be of use to the game right from first half. I kept on asking where is Trossard why did he not add Trossard since and luckly he made changes that lead to the draw.
And I think what Chelsea did today they should keep it up, I love the pressure and the defence but as an Arsenal fan I got worried to some extend

I disagree Chelsea where the unlucky side in this game. Arsenal were trailing from the very first minute to almost the last whistle, they came alive when Sanchez the Chelsea goalkeeper made a big error that lead to Declan Rice getting is second goal for the gunners, after game it became nervy for Chelsea and they almost let the game slip off there hand as Trossard added a second after a brilliant cross by Saka who to me was totally not in the game today. Saka might be back but his fitness is still a concern, I thought he would even be the first to be withdrawn from the game by Arteta.

Trossard should be starting but i didn’t blame Arteta for staring Martinelli over him, he had a knock but that doesn’t justify him on the bench but to be honest Martinelli has had better contributions than him and his last minute goal against Manchester City was also an edge for him. The striking role would have been the best players since both Nketiah and Jesus are yet to deliver.

My only suggestion in todays line up is Arsenal should look for a proper replacement with the playing pattern of Partey. Joginho actually did played well but he was to slow and allow Gallergher to control that midfield

We can say that Chelsea came back from nothingness with Pochetino. I think it was an important stance for Chelsea and they dominated the game. If this team and team continues, Chelsea will do very well in the future. Chelsea is on the rise, it is a matter of curiosity whether they will achieve continuity.

Arsenal had a hard time getting to the goal, the first shot on goal was in the second half, think about it, I think it was a difficult match due to the ground, so there were a lot of mistakes and both teams disrupted each other.

Actually saying Chelsea were lucky with their conditions like against Arsenal was a mistake in my opinion because it was Arsenal who were lucky with 1 goal created by Rice because it came from Sanchez's mistake whose communication was not too good with the defender who made him make a passing error and the ridiculous blunder made by David Raya could not be maximized properly by Palmer because if it could be maximized properly then I am sure Chelsea actually locked the victory in this match.
It was already very good for Arsenal with the draw they had in this match although indeed for some people's bets might be ruined in this match.

We can't deny that Chelsea won 2 matches before they played against Arsenal. They defeated Burnley and Fulham. Sure, it is a good progress, everyone expects Chelsea can maintain their current performance. In the match against Arsenal, they only got a draw but it was a good result for Chelsea because they succeed to steal points from one of the strongest team in EPL. I think if Chelsea defenders can be stronger, they probably won the match. They already lead with 2 goals, but they conceded 2 goals in the 2nd half.

I agree that Chelsea needs to keep Pochetino. His work looks quite well, there is an improvement on Chelsea performance although Chelsea position is still in the middle of EPL standings.

You're happy because you're probably a Chelsea fan.    Arsenal fans feel unhappy, they must expect Arsenal to win the match and get 3 points. It is actually very important, Arsenal needs full points to maintain their position. Now, missing 3 points in the match against Chelsea, Man City overtakes Arsenal position. If Tottenham wins the match against Fullham, they will lead the EPL standings. Man City will be in the 2nd place, meanwhile Arsenal will be in the 3rd place.

Regarding the match, Arsenal may be a bit surprised with Chelsea performance. Chelsea could lead with 2 goals, they played more aggressively than their usual game. It's true that Arsenal was a bit lucky that they could equalize with 2 goals in the second half. I think Arsenal a bit late to play offensively, they were not really confident in the first half.

Yeah, I'm not happy with this result, especially in the first half.  Once again the Arsenal defender committed an unnecessary foul. Even though it is difficult to avoid, actually, the ball can be left for Raya to catch it. Unfortunately, in the end Chelsea had the opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot which was executed by Cole Palmer. I hoped Arsenal would be able to equalize in the first half, but no goals were scored. In the second half, to be precise in the 48th minute, Mundryk cleverly took advantage of a gap, seeing Raya's position slightly further forward than the crossbar. Mundryk fired a shot which had sweet results, a goal was scored and it was 2-0 for Chelsea.
In this phase, our sense of optimism as supporters begins to wane. In fact, I didn't think that Arsenal would be able to equalize. 

Fortunately, Declan Rice gave us hope with a goal he scored in the 77th minute. Not long afterward Martinelli was taken off to be replaced by Trossard, 6 minutes later Trossard equalized the score at 2-2. I hope Arsenal can score 1 more goal in the final minutes of this match. Unfortunately, up to 90 minutes of normal running time the score did not change with the result 2-2. In the end, both teams only got 1 point. At least, Arsenal avoided defeat. So, I'm quite happy. Even though Arsenal is currently in 2nd place, fortunately Arsenal's points are the same as Manchester City's.
In the next match, Spurs will host Fulham. So that this competition becomes more competitive, I hope the Spurs vs Fulham match ends in a draw.

[Bananington]

McTominay needs be applauded as he has recently been exceptional, he has recorded two goals in two matches back to back,  he is gradually attracting the needed attention, I wish he does even better before the season ends.

Mctominay is the top scorer for Manchester United, and maybe this season is his own, as last season was Rashford's. Dalot's goal was also a good goal, never would have seen him as the player who will score the match winner for Manchester United. Sheffield suffer in the premier league with no win and just one point to their name. It is not looking good for them and as it stands if they do not improve very well, they will be relegated. Manchester United were expected to win, but Sheffield did not make it easy them.

Chelsea didn't dominate the game, I will disagree with you on that, they only had some level of dominance at some point and this came after their goals but later Arsenal was able to balance the game with some forced attack and good balance at the midfield, Chelsea had a mediocre start with Arsenal dominating until they scored their first goal that was when Chelsea was then seen coming out to perform.

Gradually Chelsea may be restored to it's past glory under pochetino but this few games well played isn't enough proof yet he will still need some more time to show that he has become capable enough to get the team to their glory again. He has got the good players enough for him to build a better team , I think he just needs to work on his tactics and improve better on it, we just hope Chelsea gets better before the season ends.

In the next match, Spurs will host Fulham. So that this competition becomes more competitive, I hope the Spurs vs Fulham match ends in a draw.

You don't have to say he committed an unnecessary foul because it was unintentional and never planned. Assuming he slid and committed the foul, then I would say he didn't do right. I'm not really happy either because it was a poor performance from Arsenal during the first half. I've noticed this several times. Arsenal's coach often takes the first half less seriously and then comes back strong during the second half. He looks like someone who knows the right thing to do but sets it aside to try new things he isn't sure of. He's always forcing players to play positions they're not naturally suited for. Zinchenko always plays at left back and ends up creating spaces for the opponents to exploit because, naturally, he is a midfielder. That's why he overlaps.

Also, I'd say I'm impressed with Chelsea because they played well during the first half, created more scoring opportunities, and defended very well against Arsenal. I thought this would be the first loss for Arsenal in this Premier League season, but the team still remains unbeaten this season with three draws, first against Fulham, then Tottenham, and now Chelsea.

[Issa56]

However, I don’t lose hope for Manchester United until I see the end of the game. I don’t think Manchester United will lose to Sheffield United.

Even with Manchester United's poor performance, I knew they would win the match. I was expecting them to struggle before they would be able to win, and it happened. Sheffield United is also a weak team that is currently in a relegation zone. If not for Manchester United's poor performance this season, they should be able to win the match with a wide goal margin, they struggled to score just two goals in the match. But pressure will reduce a little bit on Ten Hag. If Manchester United loses or draws today's match, everyone will already be asking for Ten Hag to be sacked.

Chelsea currently with Pochetino have quite good development. This means that there is visible progress in Chelsea's training pattern. It seems like the fans just have to be patient and enjoy the process. I think Chelsea should keep him. He's a good coach and has a lot of quality in the League. If they rush to change coaches, I think it will create new problems because players need to adapt again.

I can see improvement in Chelsea performance now, and I think Pochetino is beginning to find the perfect pattern that will work for Chelsea. Everyone is just surprised with the way Chelsea played today, it would have been more interesting if Chelsea was able to win the match, but I am still satisfied with the draw with the way they played today, it came as a surprise to most people.

[Docnaster]

Manchester united might have scored the 1st goal but they're not really performing well against Sheffield United, a team that's I'm the Champions League shouldn't be performing poorly against Sheffield United, I don't understand why their players would be doing very well in their country matches and even score goals and give assists but find it difficult to perform like that in the league matches, they're still very wrong in their decision making they barely understand themselves on the pitch and always give wrong passes.

I completely disagree with you. From my point of view, Man United played quite well tonight. Even though this wasn't their best form, but they still had a pretty good rhythm and they were able to create some good chances. Actually, Man United could have scored more than two goals, it's just that there were several opportunities that couldn't be exploited optimally and two of them had to hit the crossbar. I think Man United deserved this victory because their performance was much better than Sheffield United.

I don't think Manchester United played very well today. I'm not thinking this because Manchester United played  today against Sheffield  United, the weakest team in the Premier League. Sheffield United is a team that has managed  to earn only 1 point in 9 matches. They lost all 8 matches. And  Sheffield's defense is one of the weakest in the Premier League. When a giant team like Manchester United plays against such a team, naturally we would expect Manchester United to dominate the match and win quite easily.  But United could not dominate this match. It was very difficult for them to get 3 points in this match. That's why I won't say that Manchester United's performance was good in today's match.

Though Manchester United were able to secure a win against Sheffield United tonight, but I don't think they had an impressive performance in that very game. It took a spectacular strike from United defender Diogo Dalot to help them secure all three points from that game.
United manager Erik Ten Hag must understand that there's a lot to do in this current team as they're struggling at the moment to deliver good results for the club. If United plays against bigger clubs the same way they performed against Sheffield United tonight, they'll be beaten.

[AYOBA]

Well, needless say that it was rather a disappointing game today for Arsenal, regardless of the fact that they did not lose the match, I honestly expected them to beat Chelsea to gain full point and sit in the first position in the EPL table, but unfortunately, they couldn't, but had a draw instead.

Arsenal had a terrible first half performance. It surprised me and everyone else how Chelsea was playing Arsenal in the first half of today's match since nobody thought Chelsea's performance would get much better than it did. But Arsenal brought pride to the supporters in the second half.

This is football anyway, i wasn't expecting Chelsea to play as good as they played against Arsenal today, it's an exciting game for them to have drawn Arsenal, i am actually not sure what this means for Chelsea, but i just can't help but ask, Does Chelsea holding Arsenal to a draw in today's game mean that Chelsea is beginning to improve in their performance or is it that Arsenal did not play well like they did when they faced Manchester city?

I think they do a good job of holding their ground and playing Chelsea back-to-back; otherwise Arsenal will be very disappointed if they fail to equalize these two goals. However, the way David Raya catch the ball today was a significant risk, and Arteta should warn him against the next match since fans are complaining that Arteta should start utilizing the ramsdale back.

[asriloni]

Chelsea currently with Pochetino have quite good development. This means that there is visible progress in Chelsea's training pattern. It seems like the fans just have to be patient and enjoy the process. I think Chelsea should keep him. He's a good coach and has a lot of quality in the League. If they rush to change coaches, I think it will create new problems because players need to adapt again.

Consistentcy is always become the main problem here. I meant chelsea was almost winning the game but after pochettino changed some players like mudryk and everything changed a lot. Some players like jackson does have small work rate. He was not willing to help his club to defend like sterling. This guy is a lazy striker. Pochettino shall try to buy a new striker which was not a lazy striker. Jackson was obviously useless striker here.
Chelsea needs also to play the short ball. Chelsea was making some confussions for arsenal caused by it was very often use the long ball as its weapon and i can see that how frustate arsenal is. Mudryk is improving a lot and his time to train int he club paid him something. Many people are really applausing his goal to the arsenal. Chelsea was almost breaking the unbeatable record by arsenal. Im very disappointed with the performance of some players like jackson. This guy is so garbage.

[Minecache]

But pressure will reduce a little bit on Ten Hag. If Manchester United loses or draws today's match, everyone will already be asking for Ten Hag to be sacked.

The weakest team in the Premier League is Sheffield. So far they have not won any match, even they have managed to earn points in only one match. Their defense is very weak. There was no doubt that Manchester United would win against such a team. Even then, Manchester United's performance was quite poor. I expected a better performance from Manchester United, because the opposition was very weak. If United can't improve on this performance, they won't win against a mediocre team.

Chelsea currently with Pochetino have quite good development. This means that there is visible progress in Chelsea's training pattern. It seems like the fans just have to be patient and enjoy the process. I think Chelsea should keep him. He's a good coach and has a lot of quality in the League. If they rush to change coaches, I think it will create new problems because players need to adapt again.

I can see improvement in Chelsea performance now, and I think Pochetino is beginning to find the perfect pattern that will work for Chelsea. Everyone is just surprised with the way Chelsea played today, it would have been more interesting if Chelsea was able to win the match, but I am still satisfied with the draw with the way they played today, it came as a surprise to most people.

I have no doubt that Chelsea played brilliantly today. It was not easy to get points against Arsenal. Chelsea led 2-0 until 76 minutes. Although Arsenal players attacked a lot, Chelsea players successfully countered every attack. However, after 70 minutes, Chelsea's performance slowed down a bit. Suddenly their performance deteriorates. And so they failed to win the match. But Pochettino seems to be able to gradually stabilize his squad.

[Velvet78]

Liverpool won by 2-0 today maybe but one game could have been played this poorly honestly. After Everton got a red card I thought Liverpool would finish them off easily. But this wasn't what happened. Liverpool still continued to struggle quite much during the game. Despite having the full control they just wasted so many opportunities.

The goals came really late by Salah. He at least put on a show and became the savior. But this team performance needs to be improved for sure. Because it can create some trouble for Liverpool in bigger games later. They need to play more efficiently.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Brighton didn't play badly against City... I think City would have won anyway, but a draw could have happened... Chelsea also withstood Arsenal's attacks with dignity and didn't let them earn three points... Generally it's good to see Chesley starting to play well...

It feels like i see a league 1 team gameplay on chelsea. League 1 gamplay is focusing into the long ball and chelsea was performing like a league 1 team. That reminds me when poch was still in PSG. He used this kind of strategy. Chelsea may need also to make sure its club will able to play with short ball as well. Im also willing to see chelsea scoring through openplay. It will be far better if chelsea would have implemented hybrid gameplay like used open gameplay once it was in the penalty box.
Chelsea is missing someone like lampard which is having very good long shoort accuracy. There's no one in chelsea who has proper shoot. Enzo doesn't have good shoot accuracy. He needs to train evne harder to make sure his shoot will not be only wasting the chance.
This is the only thing missed by chelsea. Chelsea needs also to recruit a good striker too. The gameplay and the decipline of club was good but its striker like jackson is too slow.
Chelsea needs to put someone who can play better than jackson. I do support this club to recruit osimhen from napoli or even mbappe after he leaves from PSG.

[Sexylizzy2813]

For the first time since the beginning of this campaign I saw Manchester United played a wonderful football, no misunderstanding, they all played as a team like they should have been doing, I don't really know what ETH did since they all got back from international break, what ever he did let him continue.
The way and manner Man UTD played was too flexible, at some point I was wondering how the players get to switch positions on and on and back to their normal position. It's so impressive to me.
If they continue with this style of play I believe before the end of this month Manchester United will be competing for the top 4, if not for the title. I just hope this isn't a temporary form because this is going to help the team in a long while. Also seeing Maguire doing his best in today's game I believe he has gotten that shine back. What a lovely win for UNITED.

[Wend]

Man City's attack is having problems. According to statistics, they only hit the target once in the match against Arsenal. Erling Haaland is silent and has not scored in 3 consecutive games. Erling Haaland also showed that he depends too much on Rodri and Kevin de Bruyne. De Bruyne was injured, and Rodri was suspended for 3 matches after the red card he received in the win over Nottingham Forest.
On the other side of the field, Brighton was missing a series of key players, such as Estupiñán, James Milner, and Julio Enciso, due to injury. So, the game tilted heavily in favor of the home team. Pep Guardiola and his teammates aim for their 21st consecutive victory in all competitions at Etihad Stadium. This match, I predict, will have no more than three goals. A score of 2-0 will be a winning result for Man City to get 3 points.

You're right, Erling Haaland seems to be struggling to net goals since the absence of Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodri in previous games. Pep Guardiola will face one of the present competitive coach, Roberto De Zerbi this weekend. Watching both sides recording brilliant and poor performance in league game, it's longer than expected. Brighton have no single concerns in the race for EPL title because as an mediocre team, they know their limits. Manchester City will utilized their chances of using Brighton & Hove Albion to retraced their steps back to winning ways. Though we all are aware of the dangerous threat towards the citizens.

Rodri's return in today's match made Man City's midfield much more secure and contributed significantly to the victory. Rodri came on the field to help his teammates feel secure. He is responsible for distributing the ball and stopping opponents' attacks. In this match, HaalanH-Alvarez scored to help Man City end their losing streak in the Premier League. Man City still completely overwhelmed the away team. Man City defeated Brighton 2-1 to temporarily return to the top of the table.

Pep Guardiola can temporarily rest assured during De Bruyne's injury while Julian Alvarez is more mature and classy in his new position.

[red4slash]

Liverpool won by 2-0 today maybe but one game could have been played this poorly honestly. After Everton got a red card I thought Liverpool would finish them off easily. But this wasn't what happened. Liverpool still continued to struggle quite much during the game. Despite having the full control they just wasted so many opportunities.

Losing Young in the 35th minute made it very difficult for Everton to defend in this match but interestingly they were still very strong to defend even Liverpool had to wait until Salah's penalty and goal which was enough at 90+7.

Liverpool won very well but apart from some mistakes made by Everton in this match such as some fouls that were not really necessary they defended very well in this match and I appreciate that but on the other hand with this 2-0 score I am also quite happy because my bet is not in vain in this match.
