Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[len01]

Chelsea have indeed experienced a lot of improvement after a series of bad results they got at the start of the season, and the draw against Arsenal in the last match is quite clear proof that the Chelsea team is now stronger.
But, for Manchester United, I think they are still not completely out of the problems they are facing now, even though they are slowly getting positive results, but in terms of performance, the Manchester United team has not yet recovered.

changes that occurred at Chelsea were quite surprising to most people who had criticized this team when it experienced a decline in performance at the start of this season and when playing against Arsenal it was proof that the defensive strength had become stronger and the attack line had become more aggressive than before, but this is all thanks to Pochettino who is still struggling to lift this team to a better place in the EPL standings.

and regarding Man United I really respect your opinion but there is a slight mistake in some of the words you said because if you compare Chelsea with Man United actually these two teams have started to have quite good improvements crawling up from the bottom of the rankings to occupy the top ten positions and you maybe missing something that Man United does not only focus on EPL matches but must focus on UCL matches which gives a slight change to the performance of domestic matches and this makes sense to me.

Manchester united and Chelsea have suffered this season due to injuries and inconsistency in league games. They're unable to meet the high competitive standards of EPL but they are actually trying to recover, this is good news for these teams supporters. I'm a Chelsea fan and I'm more concern about the current status of my club. Chelsea performance is all we need to have to possess confidence in Mauricio Pochettino. The Blues have bounce back quickly and this time they're not relenting, always striving for better results and aim at reaching essential positions this season.

They would be bouncing even better if it were not for that real bad mistake of the goalkeeper which gave Arsenal a reason to continue to fight and in the end they got the equalizer which before that mistake seemed impossible.Nevertheless the touch of the coach is starting to be felt for the Chelsea team and I think overall in the near/mid/long term they will be even better and keep constantly improving themselves.Injuries will start to clear out and the form of the team will become better and better and I expect them to finish in an European competition spot in the end of the league.

On the other hand, I don't think it will be an easy matter for Manchester City because apart from their away match against Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag's team is in its best performance after being down for a long time and even in the last few matches they have won dramatically. Previously, Manchester United also received an injection of motivation after achieving their first win in the UCL competition. Maguire and Onana are in good form from Manchester United and it is likely that both of them will be mainstays for defensive matters in the future. Well, it's a match worth waiting for this week and wondering who will win later.

Despite Manchester United won in the last three matches, but they were struggle since they only won with one margin and those are against weak teams e.g. Copenhagen, Sheffield United, and Brentford.

If you think Manchester United would give a good match against Manchester City, it's not make sense, Manchester City surely beat Manchester United.

Right now, Manchester is Blue.

The match is scheduled in Old Trafford with a clear advantage for Manchester City in this game vs Manchester United according to bookies.
Seeing the way Manchester City is performing in Champions League and EPL and the struggle of Manchester United at a point Harry Maguire saved them, you wonder if they could stand in front of Manchester City. They have to hope for Citizens players having a bad day to defeat them, otherwise I don't see them having a chance.

A big match awaits in the Premier League on October 29, where Manchester United and Manchester City will be the opponents. Although Manchester City and Manchester United are two big names in the English Premier League, Manchester City will be much ahead of Manchester United in this match. Manchester City and Manchester United's recent performances have been very different. Manchester City have started this season from where they finished last season although they have lost two matches but still they are in great form whereas Manchester United finished well last season but they are not doing well this season. Manchester United have dropped points in the early few matches but have started to come back in the last few matches and are giving Red Devils fans hope. 

Manchester City and Manchester United are considered to be tough opponents in the Premier League but my bet will be on Manchester City.

Right now, Manchester is Blue.

Actually if it was before when Manchester United was on there good form I would have said Manchester United stand a chance to win Manchester City, I remember during the time of former Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson the team was unbeatable and even Manchester City was no match for them during that and however the only club that was a threats to them was only Chelsea.

But now there is no way we can compare Manchester City performance to Manchester United because considering the performance of Manchester City right from there last season till now they have been one of the best team on the premier League, I'm not disputing the fact that Manchester United doesn't have a good performance but considering on there poor level of performance now they stand no chance on winning Manchester City.

Several weeks ago there were rumors that billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe had made an offer to become an investor and shareholder for Manchester United but until now I have not seen the development of whether he was actually accepted by his offer or not.
What is quite controversial is that Sir Jim Ratcliffe stated that he would make big changes to Manchester United if he succeeded in becoming shareholder there and these changes took the form of replacing several administrators or management of the Manchester United squad.

Whether it is wise decision or not if he succeeds in owning Manchester United but at least there is little hope for Manchester United and the fans to see changes in the development of the team they are proud of.

By the way is anyone here following the progress of the offer submitted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe?

What is really hoped for in this big match is that the intensity of attacks from both teams is high so that the match will run very quickly, and the defeat achieved by any team is not too far because sometimes when we talk about big matches the final score shows very different things like when Manchester United were crushed by Liverpool last season.
Manchester City will of course still be the favorite even though this is an away match for them, because it seems that factors like that will not have a big influence on City, which has very good quality players and whose compact is still very well maintained at the moment.
After two consecutive defeats which were quite surprising and finally being able to bounce back by beating Brighton, I'm sure Manchester City will maintain this momentum well because they have to keep the point difference with Tottenham small, so I'm still quite confident that Manchester City will win this match even with the high enough difficulty level, and choosing Manchester City is a safer choice unless you expect big profits by choosing United whose possibility of winning is still open but not as big as City

Well @ Plaguedeath do not be too quick to say Manchester is blue until after the match however I have no doubt about Manchester City being the favourites to win the game, but in football you should expect the unexpected to occur therefore everyone could suprisenly see Manchester United beat Manchester City same way Wolverhampton, and Arsenal beat them this season,but it's not going to be easy.

 However let's stop bringing up fergies era and focus on Erik Ten Hag's era let's not forget that Manchester United beat City last season and if they're able to play good football and play very good football then beating City won't be a very difficult task, however when it comes to performance of the both clubs Manchester United has the poorest performance amongst all the big teams in the EPL.

Last night, Erling Haaland scored his first two goals in the UCL competition and with the motivation of these results, Erling Haaland will be able to score goals again. We know that this week there will be a big match entitled the Manchester Derby and this will be a competition for prestige for the two Manchester teams in the EPL. So far, Manchester City may have just recovered after a bad trend hit them and their last win was against Brighton last week. Certainly Manchester City will try again to win the match against Manchester United later, especially now that they are quite behind in terms of points and have a 2 point difference from the top of the standings, namely Spurs.

On the other hand, I don't think it will be an easy matter for Manchester City because apart from their away match against Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag's team is in its best performance after being down for a long time and even in the last few matches they have won dramatically.

Maguire and Onana are in good form from Manchester United and it is likely that both of them will be mainstays for defensive matters in the future. Well, it's a match worth waiting for this week and wondering who will win later.

Talking about the upcoming match, Manchester United playing against Manchester City is little difficult to predict because both clubs are both in very good condition after going through yesterday's Champions League match both clubs will experience fatigue because of course all the energy and talent they have will be used to get victory in the competition. the champions league match maintains victory and is quite difficult at the moment even though Haaland is in a very strong condition but if Manchester United uses a defensive formation Haaland will definitely have a little difficulty scoring because at the moment I see Manchester United defense very strong unlike usual or it could be a match the upcoming one ended in a draw.

Chelsea following this way would get themselves together and back amongst the first four clubs on the Premier League Standing. Finally, I must admit, the Champions League is quite boring without Chelsea. They're always the side that does the most challenging efforts against sides that seems undisputable.
I never saw Chelsea winning, bit I knew they would grab a point against Chelsea nif they worked hard for it.

Manchester United are boring ASF. They finally got to take the first three points in the Champions League. Should that stop there, they will find it difficult to still win games in the Premier League and qualify for top four.
I must say, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur all in the right direction, Tottenham Hotspur? They have defending issues to solve. Jurgen Klopp doing a perfect job still.

Manchester United achieved three narrow wins in the 3 matches they won, as if there was a bit of an element of luck, especially in the UCL match against Copenhagen, so I don't see that Manchester United is on the right track, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done by the team. Hag to improve Manchester United's performance.

Chelsea indeed has a significant improvement in quality now, it's clear and they seem to have found their best performance, but this is a team that is just improving with a new squad in the team so I have a little doubt that they will be consistent, let alone be able to compete fiercely at the top.

Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal and even Liverpool are teams that are currently showing that they are teams that are ready to compete fiercely for the title and are teams that have quite good quality, and I think that's natural because they look very strong now.

I get tired of discussions about Manchester United lately, watching how they play irks and itches me eyes LoL. Copenhagen schooled Manchester United from defense to midfied. They just couldn't find the back of the net. Big thanks to Andrea Onana who also denied Copenhagen sharing points with Manchester United.
Erik Ten Hag's a stubborn Man but not stupid! I do hope he knows whatever he is doing.

Chelsea should get to the top soon. The improvement good on em. They should maintain same standards used during the first half against Arsenal against all other clubs. I'm just not comfortable with Pochetino. Winning two goals to nil at that time ( if it was Jose Mourinho, Arsenal would never had equalized. Blames on Pochetino, brought in the wrong substitutions..)

I feel like Tottenham Hotspur are also going to lose the league in a long. But I'll be mind blown of they eventually winning.

as reported by the 'telegraph' on wednesday, the premier league has recommended to the relevant commission to punish fc everton with a deduction of twelve points. the reason is the violation of financial rules. the league accuses the club of having incurred losses of 304 million pounds in the past three years. according to the rules, a maximum of 105 million pounds is allowed. but a decision is not expected until later in this year...

Hmm... now it’s really impossible to apply this punishment because then Everton will have a negative number of points (-5) 
Essentially, the question of whether this punishment will be applied means whether Everton will remain in the Premier League or not.
Well, as always, I am not surprised by such news - it reminds me of how UEFA punished Ludogorets for violating FFP, while the cheating clubs PSG and City completely avoided punishment in various ways.

It seems that Tottenham in the match against Crystal Palace will make up a slightly bigger point difference with Manchester City. This is an ideal opportunity, especially to extend Tottenham positive trend which has never been defeated. On paper it is difficult for Crystal Palace to be able to beat Tottenham  game, because Tottenham  presence at the top of the standings makes them optimistic about maintaining their position. It would be very surprising if Spurs were able to end this season by winning their first trophy.

For another match this weekend, Chelsea again wants to show their best performance at home when they host Brentford. There is no reason for Chelsea to slump again, because now several Chelsea players are starting to find their ideal playing point.

[Velvet78]

I think Chelsea's unbeaten streak will continue by the Brentford game this Saturday as well. I actually expect a win from them in Stamford Bridge. Because I have noticed a really good level of progress made in their performance. They were quite impressive against Arsenal last week and it was a game that they could have even won.

Thinking of their current look I think this is a game they they should be winning. But I don't know if it would be a comfortable one. Brentford made difficulties for Newcastle and Manchester United before despite losing them both by one goal gap. I think Chelsea will also win by the same gap.

It makes sense, of course the three opponents that Manchester United managed to beat in the previous few matches as you mentioned are far from comparable to Manchester City. And honestly in my opinion this can in no way be a positive speculation that in the next match against Manchester City at Old Trafford Manchester United will have a good or great opportunity to end up with the full three points.

As we see how Ten Hag's squad is performing now, they are 8th in the standings and of course the difference is very far if we measure it with Guardiola's squad where they can always dominate the full three points at the end of the match, yes even though this season I see them not too promising. But for the next match against Manchester United, obviously I am very confident that Manchester City have a greater chance than Manchester United. Honestly I can't predict the score but certainly maybe some speculation will also say assumptions like me.

The Manchester Derby will take place in week 10 of the Premier League, which will be held at Manchester United's headquarters, Old Trafford. Looking at the record of these two clubs meeting, in the last 5 meetings Manchester City dominated the victory by winning 4 wins, while Manchester United could only win 1 match from their last 5 meetings. and when talking about Manchester City's match record at Old Trafford they also have a pretty good record and are able to win matches there.
But now it is quite difficult to predict the outcome of this match, because Manchester City are also in an unstable state, just like Manchester United. Although indeed Manchester City has a better performance than Manchester United.

Its quite unfortunate that during those 5 matches played between both teams Manchester City had complete squad with the likes of De Bryune specifically. In the upcoming match i expect a very strong battle between both teams. It wont be an easy one for Manchester City. If there is not a suitable and good plan from the City's coach the United team will attain victory during that match day. Man United may perform poorly when they encounter smaller teams but when they meet big teams like Manchester City they will increase their quality of play. Just the same way Chelsea did when they met Arsenal, they were able to play and defend properly throughout and scored 2 goals even before Arsenal. Sincerely if i should choose a side to win ill still choose Man City to win because they have higher chances of winning and they might still win the match.

Manchester United and Chelsea are dealing with their respective issues and seem to be gradually overcoming them. The situation appears more promising for Chelsea because Manchester United continues to face criticism from not only the board of directors but also the coach and the players. Securing a spot in the Europa League for the next season wouldn't be a bad outcome for them.

Chelsea is starting to show signs of improvement. In their recent matches, it's evident that Chelsea's playing style has evolved, and they can now hold their ground against top teams like Arsenal. We're aware that Arsenal remains undefeated in the EPL this season, and Chelsea managed to secure a 2-2 draw, taking the lead with two goals.

On the other hand, Manchester United is still struggling to find their best form. The issues aren't just confined to the pitch; troubles in administration and the club's official matters are exacerbating the situation. Personally, I'm not confident that Manchester United can bounce back in the coming weeks. My assumption is that it might take another 3 to 6 months to witness Manchester United return to their former glory. Let's hope that the Gazler family understands what needs to be done to improve Manchester United's performance.

Chelsea are gradually becoming a better team than Manchester United. Their last 3 performances have been impressively great. Beat a good Fulham side and scored two early goals against an in-form Arsenal side speaks volume. I think it’s a good sign that they’re playing a bit better now considering the fact that the upcoming fixtures are challenging ones and they need to be in shape to withstand the pressure that comes with it.

Manchester United have many on-field and off-field problems and the manager has been trying to fix them all but the outcome hasn’t been favorable even though they’re picking up points. They have struggled in their last 3 games which were clashes against low teams which they were expected to win with a fine goal margin. And that shows how poor their team is at the moment. Honestly I don’t think the Glazer's not selling the club has an effect on their performances, it lies within the team and the manager. They need to check within themselves and find solution.

Indeed, from the previous meeting, Manchester United actually had no chance at all of winning against Manchester City, but at least Manchester United will still try to provide fierce resistance to Manchester City. We know that Arsenal also had difficulties against Manchester City and from the 12 defeats suffered by Arsenal against Manchester City, they were finally able to break that record a few weeks ago with a dramatic victory.

I think Manchester United should also try what Arsenal is doing, especially since they are the hosts so the fans will never stop encouraging them. Maybe what is worth worrying about is how their defense will be able to contain Erling Haaland and I think that will be a tough job with the current options.
