Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Avirunes]

Nicolas Jackson is capable but slow or maybe he hasn’t find the right partnership. Should we say Chris Nkunku will be a better partner for the front man when ge returns or will we still see the slow Jackson? I think Poch should do something real quick about the situation because top 4 hopes might look dim but could be brought alive if the team is in good shape and form.

Chris Nkumku will return from his knee injury in the second week of November and start playing for the Chelsea squad in the same manner that he did in the team's preseason games.
For the Start, Nkunku and Jackson will be playing separately in  matches until the best-performed player takes the front position.
Pochettino has plenty of work to do in utilizing the Chelsea player in terms of finishing and their defense to achieve the goal of reaching the top 4 spot this season

I think its a great news for Chelsea as they do need a good striker to score goals and Nkunku is really someone that Chelsea needs right now. It will be tough for manager to manage between Nkunku and Jackson but I feel Nkunku is the better choice and has good finishing as compared to Jackson. I don't think that Pochettino will roll both out in the starting lineup when he joins the squad back from injury, it will be either one of them. Nkunku is also a better team player and can really drop down a bit to assist on the wings, kinda like what Kane used to do at Spurs. Secondly he is very much adaptable to other positions so Pochettino can really find it helpful while switching to some other tactics inside the game.

As it stand now, Chelsea has moved up to 10th on the standings table and they will play Man City on Sunday. While all Chelsea supporters are happy with their team's improvement, I still have doubt that Chelsea will have a difficult challenge against Man City.

They wouldn’t have it so easy when they finally meet with Manchester City later this weekend. It would be a difficult game for Chelsea as I think Manchester City would have a win in the game.
No doubt, Chelsea has improved in their performance and all but not so much that they could stand a chance at winning a team like Manchester City. Chelsea’s supporters may be happy with their recent improvement in their games, I think they’re realistic enough to know they’ve got a difficult game playing against Man City.

There is no doubt in this meeting, because Manchester city will never allow what happened to Tottenham Hotspur to happen to them in this match because they will be very careful with Chelsea in this match so that they will be able to defeat them 4-1 like the way they did it to their opponent last match. Even though Chelsea has improved in this season, I don't think it will stop mighty Manchester city not to achieve three points from Chelsea, because Erling Haaland and other strikers are very ready to score more goals to maintain the top position in the premier league competition. If Manchester city can defeated them last season with many goals, I believe they will still have the opportunity to disgrace them and to make their fans believe that nothing can stop them not to achieve this season title.

Using Chelsea's last win as a standard to measure the club's improvement is not proper. A team who have been inconsistent and constantly lost against lowly rated side managed to win nine-men Tottenham and we call that improvement. The Blues have not improved and Nicolas Jackson can't be trusted with the attack of the club. The real test of Chelsea's strength will be the game against Manchester City.  The current EPL champions won Young Boys in the UCL and will be preparing for the game with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea has always failed to utilize its absence in European football competition to improve its performance but as I mentioned Sunday match will be my ideal performance test for the Blues.

Agree. Although Newcastle is still difficult to maintain their consistency in playing. But no team can underestimate them anymore. They can beat any top teams in EPL now, Arsenal is only one of the examples. In UCL matches, they also defeated PSG with 4 goals. It is something great, Newcastle can destroy even a big team like PSG. Sure, we should give a big respect to Newcastle, they are trying to improve their quality and they showed people that they are no longer a mediocre team. I think if Newcastle can sign more top players, they can be stronger and may perform much better in the next season.

Newcastle is the underdog in Champions League Group F and, sadly, they are now at the bottom of the group after yesterday's loss to Dortmund. I doubt if they will qualify from that group to the next round because more experienced clubs like PSG and Milan are jousting for the second position. Maybe the Europa League will be ideal for them but I am just speculating because anything can happen. If they can win more in their next games, they will qualify for the next round.

Chelsea are in a long crisis that lasts since the past season and they are trying to end their crisis. They bought many young star players and I believe it is their plan very long term growth of the club. They want to build up a competitive squad for their club in next several seasons. A biggest problem in Chelsea latest season is they don't have stability for their coach position that causes of lot of chaos in the club.

It began with the invasion of Russia into Ukraine but even years before that war as their previous President and owner, Abramovich, was under radar of UK. government and even got some restrictions before the war. The war only makes things worse and worse for Chelsea and a sudden change of ownership results in some big changes in their clubs. Their poor performances in the last two seasons are from many factors, not only players themselves.

Nkunku and Jackson looks to be promising players for Chelsea next two or three seasons but they must help the club to end the crisis in this season. It will be better for Chelsea to start a next season with better sentiment, less stress and pressure.

Abrahimovich has always been disliked for his success and glory with Chelsea. For him to be removed around them the war between Russia Ukraine was the perfect opportunity.  Timing is everything in life and they made good use of it to chase him  The Chelsea manage by Abrahimovich  will not be in this position for too long he knows what to do to get the best. Todd Boehly has done well and this players brought in will win tittle in the long term and future. Nkuku looks promising not Jackson,not sterling. Cole Palmer and Mudryk are wonderful talents they will go far in their various football careers.

When did Chelsea win against Tottenham in the last match?
In the last match Tottenham beat Chelsea with score of 2 - 0 this season and last season in the first match Chelsea won 2 - 0 and the second match ended in 2 - 2 draw.
In this match Tottenham has home advantage, so Chelsea will be increasingly under pressure and it will be difficult to keep up with Tottenham game, plus this match is very important for Tottenham to be able to regain first place in the standings which has been taken by Manchester City.
I will still make Tottenham the favorite for this match.

Maybe not but there may also be big chance of changes for the better if change of coach is made, but provided that the coach is truly great and has lot of experience building good teams.
The problems faced by Manchester United and Chelsea are problems that are difficult to solve because several previous coaches until now have failed to make improvements so they need really great coaches.

I don't think if anyone will bet on any other team than Totenham in this game because they are having the best performance ever we could expect from them during this season even after losing a player like Harry Kane but On the other hand, the performance of Chelsea was totally disappointing so far and they can't be compared to a team like Totenham.

Damn Tottenham lost to Chelsea with humiliating score of 1 - 4 plus Tottenham had lost two players due to red cards and they were two important players for the Tottenham squad defense line, Tottenham defense was destroyed when two players received red cards and Chelsea took advantage this advantage is to win the match with an additional 3 goals in the second half.
I sure many people were disappointed and lost quite lot of money because of this match and those who took Chelsea as the winner could get quite big profit because of the high Odds.

This was the first time Tottenham had lost with added embarrassment, in this match the luck belonged to Chelsea and Pochettino.
Congratulations to Chelsea for their victory against big team that was once unbeatable, namely Tottenham.

[bering]

Although Chelsea win from Tottenham last week i think it cannot be say as their best performance because if Tottenham didn't playing with 9 players i think most likely Chelsea will be lose but their consistency will be tested this weekend against Manchester City and head to head statistics from both teams has been showed Chelsea has poor records from Manchester City even in the last 5 meetings Manchester City can able to won all of those matches with cleansheet status and these records was proven Chelsea seems always gets in trouble while met Manchester City and hard to gets the winning results besides that Chelsea home matches records also not quite good because during this season Chelsea has been lose 3 times at home so this weekend against Manchester City i think most likely Chelsea will be lose again

Tottenham Spurs ended this match in a rather shocking embarrassment with the 4 over 1 as Chelsea beat them without mercy. If I was informed earlier before the match that Chelsea will win that match, I will argue it to the stupor. Although football changes and one cannot be over confidence in the performance of a team, however, the level at which Tottenham have been consistently winning almost all games, one won't expect Chelsea to beat them in an away.

Chelsea is the first club to win over Tottenham this season with Nicolas Jackson scoring hat-trick. When Kulusevski scored the opening goal i thought it was another hey day for Tottenham and that Tottenham was going to score one more goal before the second half until Cole Palmer netted the first goal for Chelsea in a penalty kick.

I think the whole misfortune for Tottenham started with Romero's impatient foul that ended up with him having a red card. Little did I know that Chelsea will have that dramatic victory over the 9-man Spurs in their first loss.

This loss have seen Manchester City at the top of the table right now. I hope this won't be another season of rise and fall for Tottenham Spurs.

Many people were hating him but for he was a savior for chelsea fans. Abramovich has been changing chelsea a lot from the last 2 decades. chelsea has been winning so many trophies under him but it's now the time for chelsea to get another achievement with the new owner.
The conflict between russia and ukraine has become the main reason chelsea has ever been boycott caused by the club owned by russian. Since the problam has already solved and it's the time for chelsea to become a new club with great performance.
I remember what dissasi said on his interview if chelsea was a young squad. It will be so stupid if people were calling them to go up as soon as possible. They need a lot of time to learn to be even better than before.
I do like what dissasi said caused by he was saying the correct thing about the condition of club at this moment. It's now the time for chelsea to go up again.
I would like to see chelsea compete for UCL spot this season.

Chelsea performance is probably inconsistent this season, though they attempts to keep good records against elite teams in EPL. Mauricio Pochettino have plans to enchanced his new club and gaining trusts from Todd Boehly and the fans, that should be a difficult task but there's nothing too impossible in football to be triggered. I can't wait for our new attacker, Christopher Nkunku to make his debut in late November,  remember Nkunku was ruled out for months due to a knee injury he sustained against Borrusia Dortmund in a tour friendly game. His presence will definitely boosts the Blues frontlines attacks.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

I sure many people were disappointed and lost quite lot of money because of this match and those who took Chelsea as the winner could get quite big profit because of the high Odds.

I think the bookmakers probably had a rough time with this match since the odds for a Tottenham victory were significantly higher. This loss serves as a reminder that Tottenham needs to make some improvements if they want to secure the championship this season.

I think the whole misfortune for Tottenham started with Romero's impatient foul that ended up with him having a red card. Little did I know that Chelsea will have that dramatic victory over the 9-man Spurs in their first loss.

This loss have seen Manchester City at the top of the table right now. I hope this won't be another season of rise and fall for Tottenham Spurs.

I didn't watch this match live; I followed the updates, and I was quite surprised by the 4-1 score in favor of Chelsea, especially when Tottenham played with only 9 players. If they want to compete with Manchester City this season, they need significant improvements. Nevertheless, I believe that one loss won't bring them down, and I still have faith that Spurs will secure the trophy this season.

Of course this was a very surprising defeat and I don't think many people would have dared to bet on Chelsea winning that match.
Tottenham's performance was still very good, but in that match they were unlucky, I don't think this will happen again and only Ange Postecoglou can maintain the consistency of her team.
Honestly, I was very impressed with Ange Postecoglou's tactics, even though their team lost 2 players, he didn't play defensively.

To be able to win a trophy is not easy, I will not respond to that because the journey this season is still very long and anything is possible in the team whether it is a change for the better or vice versa, but what is certain is that if you look at Tottenham's current strength it is possible for them to can compete fiercely in the race for the title.

There have been no reports or investigations that connected Roman Abramovich to the war in Russia. His only offence was that he communicated or had a close relationship with Vladimir Putin. And I don't see that as a genuine reason for England and her allies to seize his assets. After all every businessman will have political connections. Almost all global business owners have close relationships with many world leaders. They do this to expand their businesses and protect their investments. Almost all Fortune 500 company owners have political connections even in the UK. I am not among the people who disliked the young Russian billionaire who transformed Chelsea from a relatively unknown club and made it one of the best in the world. Roman had a vision and passion for Chelsea and he will ever be remembered.

Chelsea and its fans are still celebrating the convincing win on Monday against one of the best sides in the EPL. But the main test will be on Sunday in their home ground when they will meet the best team in Europe and face some of the most feared strikers in the world. If the Blues win the game against the Cityzens, it will become clearer that they are on the path of recovery.

Nkunku will be a formidable force for the Blues at forward. I don't think he should play until he is fully recovered from his injury because if he gets injured again it would be a big problem for Chelsea. Nkunku is a great player. I watched him with admiration in the Bundesliga, I hope he can play such good matches with the Blues in the EPL.

Bookies were only making totenham's odds a bit higher compared with chelsea. That's a troublesome thing to choose which team that would be winning the game but there have been a lot of drama going on during the match.
Even maddison was still being jealous with chelsea. Many fans were clashing by saying the things to justify their opinions. As far as i have been watching EPL since i was kid and EPL has so many interesting thing to be watched like the drama between chelsea vs totenham.
It's caused by those clubs were rival. I don't even think the upcoming match will be as chaos as the match between chelsea vs totenham.

EPL becomes even more interesting with so many drama inside it. I can understand if the clash between a tema that has become a rival since a long time ago will always be ended with chaotic situation.
This is pretty much the same as when chelsea was facing arsenal.

This is what makes the Premier League even more interesting, I like what is happening, and the surprises that occur make the Premier League more popular with many people compared to other leagues.

However, I think that the victory achieved by Chelsea does not mean the beginning of their revival. In the next 4 consecutive matches, Chelsea will face other strong Premier League teams. The possibility of Chelsea winning and causing a surprise like they did at home to Tottenham is very likely. but the percentage is very small.
This weekend, Chelsea will face the current standings leaders, namely Manchester City, to be honest, even though Chelsea was very superior in the last match against Tottenham, in the next match against Man City I am very pessimistic that they will be able to get points.

If Nkunku doesn't lose his sharpness like in Pre-season. So Nkunku's return to the field will definitely improve Chelsea's performance, especially in attack. Because Nkunku has actually proven himself to be a player that Pochettino can rely on in pre-season. But usually players who have just returned from injury will not immediately return to their best performance. So for the time being we might not expect too much from Nkunku. But it looks like it's time for Chelsea to return to their best performance. Pochettino is also required to bring good results for Chelsea this season. Because we know how Todd Boehly takes a stand if a coach cannot bring the club to the progress he hopes for. Don't let Pochettino suffer the same fate as Potter.

[Despairo]

The possibility of Chelsea winning and causing a surprise like they did at home to Tottenham is very likely. but the percentage is very small.

You contradicts each other, Manchester City and Tottenham are completely different. Manchester City never make such big mistakes to lose 2 players in a match, they mostly play clean.

If Nkunku doesn't lose his sharpness like in Pre-season. So Nkunku's return to the field will definitely improve Chelsea's performance, especially in attack. Because Nkunku has actually proven himself to be a player that Pochettino can rely on in pre-season.

Because we know how Todd Boehly takes a stand if a coach cannot bring the club to the progress he hopes for. Don't let Pochettino suffer the same fate as Potter.

People already give a lot hope to Nkunku because he's expensive and he contributed a lot during the pre-season. If Nkunku can't play as good as he was, he will become Mudryk 2.0 where people always mocking him. For a record, this one is the longest Nkunku's injury.

Hopefully when he returns to playing for Chelsea he can show what the club expects because relatively since he officially became a Chelsea player he has only played for his club in pre-season matches, so there is no certainty that his performance will bring about very good changes for Chelsea.
Will Chelsea be more productive? because one of the problems at this club is the lack of sharp strikers.
When Nkunku was at Leipzig he could be said to be a good striker but changing clubs might be an obstacle because we can see that many players experience this, and Chelsea would be very disadvantaged if that happened to Nkunku because one of the reasons that Pochettino often says is why his squad often got random results are player injuries and with Nkunku playing can no longer use that excuse when Chelsea get bad results.

Yeah actually there celebration on there wining against Tottenham Hotspur is never like before, perhaps if Tottenham Hotspur had not gotten red card or injured it would have not been easy on Chelsea because in times of performance we cannot compare Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea because Tottenham is far better than them but it was just unfortunate for Tottenham Hotspur going through what they did on there last match.

Perhaps just like you said let see how they will perform on there match this weekend against Manchester City the defending champion of England, however matter how Chelsea plays against strong clubs Manchester City will surely score them more than what they did to Tottenham Hotspur because Chelsea are no match to Manchester City.
