Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[EL MOHA]

Epic winning for Manchester United and their gradually climbing further on the table, they sits 8th position on the table and aiming to recording good points in forthcoming EPL games to cover for their poor results in previous games this season. I've noticed about the suddenly improvements of Maguire performance on the pitch, he's keen on winning back his spot in defendlines of Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag pick Harry Maguire to start the game against Sheffield United and he didn't record any mistakes, rather he sticks to the appropriate stats of impressing every Red Devils supporters with his timing tackles and forming a defense wall against the opposition at Bramall Lane.

Maguire’s performance was superb, i had this season always been calling for him to get a nod in the picking other. Maguire last season was a disaster and when a player is having a form, a continuous run of games Starting will be a bad for him. So what helped Maguire more was the fact that he has been released off the captaincy duties which reduces the attention it’s Carries and also him been dropped to the bench was a very smart move by Ten Hag. Getting Benched will make a player wants to do more and this Time he might learn from his mistakes. Also been on the bench will reduce the pressure from the media.

This is also what Rashford needs to be able to regain his confidence back again, he needs to sit some games on the bench.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is still struggling in 10th place in the standings with 12 points. Manchester City currently leads the standings, but Tottenham has the opportunity to take first place if they are able to beat Fulham's at tomorrow's match. Tottenham is the unbeaten team so far apart from Arsenal with 9 matches, so it feels make sense they have high hopes of winning 3 points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow.

Chelsea are still battling but the have improved with the match against arsenal, they played very beautiful game which everyone was so surprised because many don't see what they were expecting they could have even win the match if not Robert Sanchez that give ball to rice to score, I will say that Robert Sanchez is the cause of them losing the match because after that first goal Arsenal began to have hope of winning and began to mount pressure on Chelsea which the match ended draw.

Manchester City that is at the top now I will only assume that they are just helping Tottenham to dust the the place because Tottenham we claim their 3 point, Fulham are playing away which I find it difficult for them to win Tottenham, Tottenham will maintain their unbeaten this alone give me more confidence that Tottenham will beat Fulham and reclaim back their original position where they belong. Son is a good player which I think the captain the was given to him also make him charge more because the spirit is using to play now is unstoppable.

Chelsea really had good form in the first half, it wasn't about the goals but I was impressed with the team's performance. But they lost concentration when building an attack from below in the second half where Robert Sánchez miscalculated when passing the ball to his partner which led to Declan Rice's goal.

Declan Rice's goal opened up big hopes for Arsenal to comeback, as a result they managed to do it through Leandro Trossard's goal. Chelsea have improved in terms of appearance, but they are not yet stable on all fronts. So it was a good job from Pochettino and I hope he can make more changes to Chelsea's performance in the next game. Nicolas Jackson is bad, really he is too bad when he has goal chances.

I agree with you. In the first half, the strategy used by Chelsea was correct and very good. Their full defense only relies on counter attacks and playing effectively. They didn't carry the ball for too long and immediately passed it forward. Even though they lost the ball possession, Chelsea had the advantage.

What was Chelsea's fault in my opinion was that when they were 2-0 ahead of Arsenal, the Chelsea coach was really less intelligent and less careful in making substitutions. He always makes the same mistakes, the player who is on fire is suddenly replaced with him, two RBs are played at the same time.

Forcing build-up possession from the goalkeeper even though Sanchez's passing accuracy is very poor and too risky. And it proved to provide a fresh opportunity for Arsenal to score a goal that made them rise. For Chelsea, this draw is like a defeat.

Yes first half performance was superb and it actually went according to plan i think, they got the lead and outplayed Arsenal in every corner of the game. They missed couple of chances but they were the better side and they were at home so the performance was only right and they needed the win to improve on the momentum.

In term of substitutions and coach decision i think bringing in new players and changing the tactics was not really that bad he just wanted to adopt a defensive formation since he is winning 2-0 already, i just think it was too early to make these changes. it was just the mistake of the keeper that changed everything totally, it affected the confidence of the whole team.

Forcing the build up from behind is totally on Sanchez he had the chance to clear the ball but he chose not to do so, he have tried this several times but chelsea are always lucky but this time around they were punished and it changed the outcome of the game entirely.

The only one that looked weird was Arsenal not being able to beat Chelsea because so far Chelsea looked not that good and everyone thought Arseanal was much better so they would have won, but that was a close game to begin with and that turned out to be not that complicated to be fair. I think it should be quite decent chance to bet on stuff like this and expect a good return because they are the favorites for a reason.

Yes, it looks strange, but this is what happens and Chelsea can perform well in this match. I also thought that Arsenal would win this match, but in fact they didn't.
Regardless, I hope this is the start of Chelsea's resurgence this season. Although they are still shuffling, but with the draw they got and with a good game too it could be a glimmer of hope for them going forward.
I also hope they don't show a complacent attitude, because however their process to get better is still very long.

Arsenal was in better form than Chelsea and that is why many people  predicted arsenal will be the winner but as Chelsea finish first half with one goal many people was not now expecting draw or Chelsea to win because of Chelsea spiriting of that one goal and also the second goal in second half for Chelsea many people easily concluded that Chelsea have won the match ready because they was also having good attack over arsenal but surprisingly after the Chelsea sub some set of players they became weak that arsenal started given Chelsea dangerous attacks which lead to equalizer of Chelsea two goals but despite the equalizer of two goals Chelsea really performed well because I never thought that yesterday Chelsea will be able to net two goals or able to draw arsenal with Arsenal current form compared to Chelsea.

Manchester United will face Manchester City next week at home, He should completely do another defending jobs then you can start accessing him and as well praise him.
It's very important to praise players that are worthy of the praises Harry Maguire? Laughable! He should enjoy his moment and time, when defender's like Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are fit, you will never see Harry Maguire selected ahead of them.
I don't hate him but he is not a player Manchester United should have signed.

There's literally no pressure on Andrea Onana, A good defense would make the goal keeper better, that was what happened with David De Gea's successfull season at Manchester United last season.

Harry Maguire's performance in Manchester United's last match against Sheffield United was very impressive, which I think will give him more confidence to perform better, give his team mates more confidence to rely on him at the back along with Varane and Evans, and reduce the pressure on Andre Onana for his poor performance if the defense is solid.

Manchester City will be playing away from home against Manchester United, and both teams have a chance to win, and Manchester United playing at home has an advantage because they beat Manchester City at home last season, but that should not be a guarantee for them because Manchester City is good and has been beating Manchester United for a long time. As a result, I predict that both teams will score.

[Issa56]

A little analysis from me. Chelsea's mistake against Arsenal was that they were too confident that they had won against Arsenal from the 60th minute. Even though Arsenal were hotter this season when Arteta replaced players in the second half, and that is Arsenal's strength this season.

Everyone didn't believe Arsenal would be able to equalize in the match. Pochettino also had the confidence that he had won the match already, but Arsenal was able to equalize in the match. Pochettino shouldn't have substituted Sterling and Palmer in the match, he should have just let them complete the match. But even the draw is not a bad one for Chelsea, playing draw against Arsenal is not really easy. Everyone was expecting Arsenal to win the match with a wide goal margin, but it ended in a draw. The draw really affected Arsenal because Manchester City is now ahead of them on the table again.

Advice for Poch, don't be careless in changing players, even the tempo of the game.

I am sure Pochettino will have learned his lesson, and I am sure he will avoid similar mistakes in the future. It's a good idea to substitute some of your key players towards the end of a match when you are winning comfortably, but it shouldn't be with a club like Arsenal. We all know Arsenal to be a dangerous club. He should have just maintained the players he started with, but this will serve as a lesson to him.

[Leviathan.007]

if Chelsea would perform like they performed against Arsenal today, in all their coming games, i trust that they might end this season in the top 4 or 5 at least, for i believe that they may end up winning most of their games, for like you, i also believe that the draw they had against Arsenal today is indeed a great achievement for them, not very many people expected Chelsea to have any chance of draw against Arsenal, not when Arsenal was able to beat the almighty Manchester city in their last encounter.

So, today's draw against Arsenal is indeed a stepping stone for Chelsea, this could be a new beginning for them if they can keep up with this same performance against other teams/clubs.

It was really surprising that Arsenal could not beat Chelsea and only ended in a draw which made a lot of bettors lose in this match and I myself thought Arsenal would win this match because key players could appear on the field but I admit that Chelsea may have started to show improvement in their performance and I also agree that if Chelsea can be consistent like this it will be quite easy to get the best position in the EPL standings but lets see if in the next match Chelsea can be consistent like this or will it just change again.

On paper Arsenal certainly looked the favorite, but we must take into account the fact that before that Chelsea had a great series of 3 wins in a row and you could see how Pochettino is trying to instill in the team the spirit of a winner and not to be afraid of opponents. In this match almost everything worked out and a draw now for Chelsea does not seem to be the best result. After such a match there is confidence that Chelsea will manage to cope with the losing streak, which covered them last year. In this match they could have won if Palmer had been quicker when the Arsenal goalkeeper made a mistake, and then Sanchez made a mistake on the way out and Arsenal still managed to open the scoring and subsequently get back into the game. 

I would personally bet on Arsenal because of the past results they got in this season and I was expecting to see them winning this game against Chelsea because, unlike Arsenal, Chelsea doesn't have a good performance in Premier League and even after rebuilding whole the team still they are not in the good form and that's why this draw was a lot for Chelsea.

He always makes the same mistakes, the player who is on fire is suddenly replaced with him, and two RBs are played at the same time.

Pochettino thought he already won the game after Chelsea scored that second goal and he killed his victory with those wrong substitutions that 3 points could have been Chelsea's points and that would have helped them step up in the premier league table, However, the draw was better than them losing the match, and believed that the coach has learned from his mistake in that every game

[temple]

It's never easy to predict a 4-1 against a team that is close to them in the Premier League standings, but I had a more precise look at their performances at home this season and I think it was 13-2 goals and a perfect 9/9 points in 3 games. That's why at first I thought it would be more like a close game, maybe 2-1 or maybe West Ham United would be able to steal a point, but then I thought that it is more likely they will go on with their strong performances at home and don't leave West Ham with a chance. Really good game by them and they are a strong force at home.

I did not expect such a different score in a match between two teams close to each other in terms of points. After the first half ended 1-0, I did not expect so many goals in the match. I thought Aston Villa would play a defensive game. That's why I didn't bet on the second half. If I had played, I probably would have won because there were 4 goals in the second half.

The players in Aston Villa have a very good harmony with each other and thus they perform well in the matches. I think Aston Villa will continue to win like this.

But what made you believe that Aston Villa would slow down when it is known that in their 3 home games so far they had scored 13-2 goals? They have averaged more than 4 goals per game at home. And among those teams they beat at home was Brighton and that game ended 6-1 for Aston Villa.

In my opinion there was no way that Aston Villa would back up and give West Ham United more control over the game and perhaps allow them to get back into it with a goal. This is one of the strengths of Aston Villa. They don't lean back but put more pressure on their opponents because that forces them to remain focused with their defense and gives them less opportunities to play offensively. It is the right strategy.

This is also what Rashford needs to be able to regain his confidence back again, he needs to sit some games on the bench.

Maguire performance at that central defence is remarkable, that's why I wasn't really finding it funny when onana was yelling at him some months ago on the pitch, I wasn't pleased with onana's action. Outside the fact that he make's some mistake something, most defender do too, i think we should cut Maguire some slack. Even with Evans experience over the years, you cannot put him side by side on the same scale as Maguire.
Putting him on the bench was to reduce media attention on him, I agree with that. I really enjoy the defence line now, with lindelof, Evans and Maguire, it gives some level of confidence though.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Aston Villa continues to rise, they are playing a really enjoyable game in terms of game, we can say the Unai Emery difference. They destroyed West Ham off the pitch. They did not give West-Ham any hope in any part of the match, they dominated that part of the match well.

Watkins provided one goal and one assist, I think he will achieve very good statistics in the Premier League, 5 goals and 5 assists this season. I wouldn't be surprised if Aston Villa, which has been the surprise and best performer of this season, closes the Premier League in the top three this season.

[Lida93]

It's a long way back for Westham as Aston villa has made their second goal of the match with a penalty kick from Douglas Luiz  just in the 52 mins of the the game after his (Douglas) blow shot in the first half giving Villa a lead in the scoreline. For Villa it's been an excellent team work for them in this game exercise their home advantage over the visitors Westham who have only managed to get a 1 goal through a flick deflection which has somehow awaken Westham impetus in the match trying their very best now in an energetic play to equalize the scores and possibly get a come back in this game.

Previously, I thought the match between Aston Villa against West Ham would be a very difficult and tight match. But that doesn't seem to be the case, because the fact is that Aston Villa managed to win big with a score of 4-1 and of course, I personally really didn't expect Aston Villa to win with a very good score like this. So yes, with this good victory and also, about the great improvement that was successfully realized for Aston Villa, then I think this is also the success of Unai Emery. Because after all, before Aston Villa did not even have a good dominance of victory when Aston Villa played against West Ham from record in the head to head. But in this moment, Unai Emery managed to provide very good results for Aston Villa, obviously this is a great improvement.

Comparing the two teams, one would say they are mate with equal strength which was why many people thought the match was going to be a difficult match for one team to get a win from the other but Aston Villa had to pull a surprising and shocking scores in them humiliating Westham with a 4 -1 victory. The had the possession, most shots on target and complete pass. Aston villa are pretty not with a bad stat this season, have lost just 2 matches and drew 1  out of a total of  8 games played winning 5. Their two loss was against Liverpool and Newcastle a big side for that matter , so for them to have won Westham today with such a goal difference their performance speaks volume of itself.

Arsenal was in better form than Chelsea and that is why many people  predicted arsenal will be the winner but as Chelsea finish first half with one goal many people was not now expecting draw or Chelsea to win because of Chelsea spiriting of that one goal and also the second goal in second half for Chelsea many people easily concluded that Chelsea have won the match ready because they was also having good attack over arsenal but surprisingly after the Chelsea sub some set of players they became weak that arsenal started given Chelsea dangerous attacks which lead to equalizer of Chelsea two goals but despite the equalizer of two goals Chelsea really performed well because I never thought that yesterday Chelsea will be able to net two goals or able to draw arsenal with Arsenal current form compared to Chelsea.

I was almost sure Arsenal would win the game with some resistance from Chelsea. I didn’t expect the game to go the way it did having Chelsea scoring two goals and almost winning the game. Their first goal, scored by a good penalty shot was perhaps motivating as they had a good run and played well in the first half of the game.

The second half began with the beautiful strike from Mudryk. Personally, I think he intended to cross the ball into the box but had a much better outcome as the ball sailed into the back of the net. After that goal, I thought there wasn’t much hope for an Arsenal win and Chelsea would go on to win the game.

Arsenal didn’t totally disappoint their supporters as they took advantage of Chelsea’s sloppy passes and scored their first goal. That goal obviously renewed their confidence and following a long and precise cross from Saka, Arsenal equalized the game and denied Chelsea the full three points.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Unai Emery really has Villa playing well, it’s amazing how much better they are now under his guidance. The PL is set to get 5 CL places for next season, I wouldn’t rule Villa out.

West Ham are a good team so 4-1 is a real humbling. I have a few friends who are Villa fans, they are very excited about what Emery is building there.

[Wiwo]

The point we should focus on right now is the ability of Chelsea to make any remarkable impact in this season's EPL and at such also being able to at least retain a spot for themselves in the season and this has almost become an impossible thing to achieve by the club after making so many attempts that have nearly yielded any possible result.

In the last games between Chelsea and Arsenal,  many predicted that Chelsea would have the winning goal but then much after the match ended up in a draw which is not far from what many have predicted haven't seen and experienced Chelsea's current stamina and the mir ability to make any possible record mark.

Arsenal is still maintaining an unbeaten streak since the beginning of the season and is a strong candidate for this year's championship. In this match, Arsenal had a spectacular comeback to get 1 point, making Chelsea players and fans extremely regretful. I was pretty surprised by this result. The game ended in a draw, but for Chelsea, it was considered a failure because they were the team that controlled the game. Chelsea played very well. All positions performed impressively. They need to maintain stability throughout the match. If they continue with this form, the opportunity to win the championship will also come to them. Coach Mauricio Pochettino is doing his job well. Hopefully, he will do even better because he owns a young team.

[Leviathan.007]

There is the possibility for Manchester United to get Ten Hag fied and use a new coach because of the bad results they got so far. Ten Hag saved Manchester United in the last season and they had a good performance because unfortunately so far this team was not performing as well as we were expecting to see.
Graham Potter the former coach of Chelsea is currently linked to Manchester United and there is the possibility for Graham Potter's return to Premier Leageu.

Newcastle United is now back on track.
Fun fact they are now the team with the most number of goals scored this season.

And besides that if this week they win in the Champion's League they will basically already be in the final stage after 3 games.

[karabiber]

Liverpool defeated Everton 2-0 at home thanks to Salah's goals and moved into third place in the league with 20 points. Ashley Young's early red card, which left Everton with ten men, caused the team to lose control of the game. Even without the red card Liverpool were already dominating the game, but after the red card Everton had no chance of taking points. The goals came in the second half and as they came in the last 15 minutes, Everton could do little with 10 men.

If Liverpool had been able to capitalize on their early chances against Everton, the game would have been different and more enjoyable. It was a bad game for Everton and they were not effective at all. It was as if they were playing with five men on the pitch, and the balls that came their way were being played all the way back to the Liverpool goalkeeper. The defense closed well until they conceded a goal. Liverpool's ineffective player of the match was Allister. He took no risks and was almost useless throughout the game. Elliot definitely deserves his place more. Liverpool still managed to win and if they can iron out the small kinks in the team (a more lively attacking line and wingers contributing to the scoring) they can finish the season in a good position.
