Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[onecall123]

Newcastle are really inconsistent these days. It started to reflect on their Champions League games as well recently. Because they lost to Dortmund two times in a row which pushed them down to the fourth position. But I still want to believe that they will recover from this situation as well. Newcastle were pretty impressive last season you know.

This carried them even to the Champions League despite challenging hard against the other top teams in the Premier League. Actually they weren't doing bad until a point this season too. But hopefully they will get better. They have got some bad news additionally like Tonali's suspension but I will expect them to get better in time.

I can understand that, I can understand why they're struggling so much in the Champions League. They are in the toughest group in the Champions League, with teams that are very experienced, while they are arguably a newcomer team, of course it affects their mentality and morale. But on the other hand I also still appreciate them, because they can still compete with 1 win and 1 draw, which ultimately makes them still have a chance to be able to qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season. Yes, although they have to work very hard to be able to realize their chances.

This is the momentum for Newcastle to be able to transform into a team that is respected on the European stage, it is very difficult, especially since they are joining Group F which is inhabited by top teams and even teams that have a strong mentality in the UCL such as Dortmund and AC Milan, but what has been shown by Newcastle so far has been extraordinary, they have really made the competition fiercer and Newcastle even still has a chance of getting through the group phase.

Newcastle's performance this season is still the same as last season, they are still strong and in my opinion they are even much better this season even though at the start of the season they were a little problematic.

They've kicked off the season really well, and landing in the 7th position on the EPL points table is quite impressive at this point. In the UCL stage, their run has been great. Winning the whole thing might be a bit of a stretch, but they're doing really well. I didn't expect them to have such a fantastic run, but they're causing issues for other teams because they're a bit unpredictable. Personally, I admire how Newcastle plays, and they're an amazing side to watch. Right now, it's all about enjoying the ride.

IMO there are no easy words now even though Chelsea are in relatively good condition but facing Newcastle will certainly not be easy because it is precisely that kind of assumption that makes them able to lose.
Moreover, Newcastle have now been transformed into a very troublesome club after their financial resources changed which of course this will be more complicated for Chelsea.

Indeed, at this time some players especially for the Newcastle attack line, are a lot of gaps because some players have to be in the treatment room but playing home with the support of their own fans at St. James Park this will be a loss if Newcastle will give up just like that. 

This will still be a fierce match, Chelsea's revival in the last few matches should be watched out for by the Newcastle team, even though if we look at the quality Newcastle is much better, what Chelsea has done in the last few matches is a serious threat to Newcastle.
It has been two consecutive matches that the Chelsea team has faced strong Premier League teams and they managed to go through it without losing and now Newcastle is also one of the top Premier League teams and Chelsea is likely to be able to do the same thing too.

Newcastle will be playing without its best main squad. There are 10 players were injured and can we expect a great performance from newcastle without its main squad at this moment? I think that it's kinda different. Chelsea is still having all of its players healthy.
Chelsea may able to destroy newcastle soon. Im not pessimistic regarding newcastle but i just try to realize the fact that if everything is very difficult to be predicted. Im sure chelsea will lead the game during the first half.

It seems like that chelsea will perform with the same squad like last game against city.

I thought that newcastle will be worrying us by perform with the best squad but glad to see that chensea has gotten bigger chance to win the match soon.

The large number of Newcastle players who are injured is indeed detrimental for this team and is likely to affect the team's performance, but I don't think it will be significant because a team as big as Newcastle has enough players to maintain the team's performance.

True, the injured players are really damaging the performance from the club. Newcsatle will be missing a lot like almiron. I expect chelsea to win the game with narrow score but this depends on the performance from the club.
Let's wait what will be doing by chelsea soon. Im sure chelsea will be going all offensive against its opponent.

It's all about the race for trophies. What I mean is that the club is not used to such a number of games. But all this can be fixed. Everything needs time and perseverance, which Newcastle has in abundance. We will wait for progress from the team.

I think it's not because the last season there were FA Cup and Carabao Cup, so they've been used to play with this kind of busy schedule. The difference is the competition and experience, Newcastle has no experience in UCL, so it's not surprising to see them completely flop.

But if you ask me can Newcastle qualified to enter UCL in the next season? I believe no, many teams are improved right now.

[JeffBrad12]

Next match, Manchester City will face Liverpool and trend for City keep in the winning result or they will loss points and loss first standing place. Most excited match but many rumor with Manchester City will loss their player regarding injury after playing on international break out match with their national team.

Discussing the competition between Liverpool and Man City will be very interesting not only during the match because outside the competition Liverpool are now at the forefront in encouraging UEFA to re-raise Man City 115 Financial Fair Play allegations.

EPL will never ever to ban city. It will be a disaster if EPL will be giving a serious sanction to the manchester city even though the club has been breaching it more than one hundreds of times. EPL will be defending it. That's the same like another elite club with huge fanbast.
I have seen some complaints since a few years ago and nothing happen so far. Manchester city will not get any sanction. This is the point as the league is defending city at this moment.

Pep Guardiola and Klopp rivalry is the most anticipated match this weekend. Remembering that Liverpool and Man City would not have achieved such extraordinary performances without this great coach. In my opinion Man City and Liverpool will both maximize the match with the remaining squad. Because the impact of the international break has become a tradition leading players who contribute to the club will experience risks.

Probably true but it may not be as attractive as the match against chelsee. Let's see what kind of line up used by kiopp against manchester city.
Im sure salah, diaz and nunez will be going to play as the starting line up. Liverpool is not facing crisis like manchester city but glad to see haaland will play against liverpool. There will be more than 2.5 goals to happen in this match.
I hope liverpool will not play defensively against manchester city.

[Jody.Drummer]

In as much as Kevin de Bruyne is one of the best player on Manchester City but I don't think he will play this match even if he is free from the injury this week, because whenever a player has that kind of injury and stay that long without training he would find it difficult to perform if being put in the field so Kelvin de Bruyne will not start immediately after recovery because he will need to undergo a series of fitness test and training to actually know if he can perform when he resumes training.

So perhaps even if Kelvin de Bruyne were to play there upcoming match I don't think he will be a much threat to other team because he will not be able to play the way he normally do.

De Bruyne will not return to the game until January - February, so it is pointless to discuss his possible appearance in the match with Liverpool. City are playing well without De Bruyne, Guardiola never built the team’s game on one player and although Kevin has become a very important player in Guardiola’s scheme, now City are coping quite well without him.

Liverpool are not playing their best away, they have won only one of their last five games against Bournemouth, they have drawn two and lost two, while City look great at home and rarely drop points.

Indeed, they still show something good even without KDB but they will be better in the game if KDB is in it. I don't know for sure whether he will be able to play or not in this big match, because I also see the same thing, even though a player is said to have recovered from his injury, but they also still have to do several stages to really be able to play. It will be very risky if they force him to play when he is not really ready, instead of being able to help it will risk him getting the next injury.

[Woodie]

And this week there is a big match Man City vs Liverpool, of course this match will be exciting, and three points are very valuable in this match.

This one is tough to call but I will back the most inform team(Man City) to win it as they have a better squad and more fire power and will be playing to try to go top of the log, but Haaland was rumoured to be injured so this will be the difference if he plays.

Newcastle are really inconsistent these days. It started to reflect on their Champions League games as well recently.

And with champions League football already around the corner and premier League duty calling aswell, I honestly think Newcastle are overwhelmed and need to choose a competition they will dedicate resources too and if am honest they are better off in the EPL than UEFA were their exit looks more likely....

Yes indeed, including Haaland who is likely to miss the big match against Liverpool later, because Haaland suffered an injury in the international match. Of course, this factor is a difficult factor for Manchester City for the big match because after all, basically Manchester City key player like Bruyne is also still injured at this moment. Because yes, just with Bruyne injured before, it was enough to make Pep Guardiola work harder to make Manchester City still have a good performance. But yes, because at this moment their goal machine like Haaland was also injured, then I became hesitant to choose Manchester City to win in this big match. Because at least, with that injury maybe will make Liverpool have a better chance also in the big match later.

Newcastle looks most inexperienced with champions league amongst others in the group F. They are at the bottom of the group and looking like they are not qualifying for the next round of the champions league this season because they have the least point in their group.

They have won only one out of all four champions league games they have played so far,they lost two and drew one which has turned out very poor amongst the results other teams in the same group has got in the champions league so far this season, they seem unlucky to be amongst experienced teams who still don't mind taking advantage of their weakness to their benefits because they want to qualify to the next stage, Dortmund and PSG still remains the only teams that looks to me like they would qualify

Newcastle found themselves in one of the most challenging group in UCL this season. Eddie Howe can only attempt but he's weigh below the standards of other prominent coach that knows how the system operates because they've been there for years and he's just coming with team consisted with inexperienced players that play random football without having a backup plan if their primary aim fails. Newcastle United can only pull a little fight but they don't stand a chance to withstand the big fight against elite teams in UEFA Champions League.

But hopefully they will get better. They have got some bad news additionally like Tonali's suspension but I will expect them to get better in time.

Situation is suddenly not into their favor with injuries and suspension of key players, but they have to manage this until January because The FA allow them to have players on loan from Saudi League clubs which are also under management of PIF which is owner of the Newcastle United, so things can go better after this decision but right now they have to suffer with on 25th Novembers they are going to face Chelsea which is impressive in last few games and after this PSG challenge is also waiting for them in Champions League.

Currently, they are seventh in Premier League with most chances they could be stayed here for few more weeks but surely need to improve with manage to come out of this problem which is bringing them down badly after having good start of this season again hopefully next half of the season will bring better results.

Now we have less than three days for this match which is going to have big impact on Premier League as two best teams are facing each other and heat is already on with UEFA FFP allegations even things are still under control, but this is surely going to be at the top after few days Pep Guardiola having challenge from Jürgen Klopp in last few years, and mostly we watch Manchester City overcome every time with January win is surely big one.

Liverpool is trying to overcome from the shadow of the Manchester City in last few matches their defense is working impressive, and now they need to hold Haaland and company as well if they are able to do then surely we can expect the toughest end of this season for the both teams at the top but current result bring down any team from top ranks as well.

It's questionable whether these Financial Fair Play issues are distracting Manchester City in any way because they are living and performing with this sword of Damocles over their head for so many years now and nothing happened. I think they got used to these allegations, the pressure and also any ongoing investigation, but for the sake of fairness I think that now the time has come for some justice when they punish Everton so hard. For Everton this can have existential consequences and the EPL authorities knew what they were doing when they issued this sanction. But now everyone is rightly asking how they will treat Manchester City when it turns out that they have violated those FFP rules.

Newcastle United can only pull a little fight but they don't stand a chance to withstand the big fight against elite teams in UEFA Champions League. 

IMO, my guess is that the Newcastle club is trying to give Eddie Howe one season to prove himself this season. after that, they will replace him with a more competent trainer. why do I say that, yes, because Newcastle is owned by the PIF company which is controlled by the Saudi prince. Just imagine if the club wanted to compete fiercely with Man City, especially in the transfer window last summer, it wouldn't be a difficult thing for them to spend their budget on players who have above average skills. Moreover, if Eddie Howe is unable to bring Newcastle to a top four finish. It seems that there is a big possibility that the speculation I said will come true. BTW, this is purely just my analysis and does not determine the actual facts later.

Talking about Newcastle in the Champions League, it looks like it will be very difficult for them, especially when they visit the Parc des Princes, PSG's headquarters. if Newecastle collapses when they face the French League giants in the next match. it seemed, their hopes would be dashed. However, we'll see how the battle between these two teams goes.
before that, Newcastle will host Chelsea first. Pohcettino's squad is in good confidence. It will not be an easy match for Eddie Howe's squad to overthrow them. Moreover, several Chelsea players are reported to have recovered from their injuries. Let's see how Newcastle plays their match before visiting France.

[Webetcoins]

Considering the past games between Chelsea and Newcastle, we can conclude that it will either be a draw or Chelsea will press on and finally earn their cherished points, which will not be unnecessary for them. It is a pity that transfers are far away then there would be a great chance for the Blues to win.

The match is not going to be easy on the both teams because they have equal performance so it will be very hard to predict what the outcome of the match will be because in times of Chelsea performance whenever people will believe that they would win, that's when they will lose. and also let's not be too much in a haste to conclude that Chelsea is back with there good performance because the reason why they even draw with Manchester City was that they have history against each other that no matter how poor in performance Chelsea is it will be difficult for Manchester City or other big team to win them, so let's not take because of that and feel that they can win Newcastle United.

However what I'm seeing in that matche is draw because the both team will try there best never to lose against each other.

Even with the current performance I am favoring Chelsea in this match for the another win but still this is going to be tough match because Newcastle United is suffering with injuries and other problems but still they can manage against Chelsea in this match which is trying to resurgent after worst time and their last few positive results are also indicating things can go for them to have better future in this season.

In last four away games they have 10 points which are clearly giving them advantage them in this game but Newcastle United home performance is also good which will try to overcome from their internal issues which are brought them down, but things could be not easy for them with most chances we can go for the Chelsea/Draw in this game but if Newcastle United overcome then surely this could be one of the best in this round.

What is very interesting in this match Newcastle against Chelsea is that Chelsea could become the best team away from home in the current season if they win this game. Until now they won three matches of their five matches away from home. Newcastle may be struggling a bit because of injuries, but it is still a game in their home stadium and as I expected when I checked the table, Newcastle won five of their six games at home and conceded only 3 goals.

I think the important of this game couldn't be any bigger for both teams. For Chelsea it could be said that this is a real comeback if they win this game against yet another tough opponent and they could bring themselves into a position to start dreaming of the UEFA qualifiers again. For Newcastle it is about keeping up with the top teams and also keeping the distance to Chelsea.

Next match, Manchester City will face Liverpool and trend for City keep in the winning result or they will loss points and loss first standing place. Most excited match but many rumor with Manchester City will loss their player regarding injury after playing on international break out match with their national team.

This game is just like the game between Juventus and Inter Milan. Difficult fixtures this week to predict. Having seen the point deduction case of Everton, most fans are tagging Premier League and Fifa to look into the controversies involved with Manchester City and all of the tittles they have won in the past and how they've won them are being put into check and considering.

Liverpool have improved in defending though I do think they have enough to improve still Can Dirk has tried to improve in defending just as he did when he was newly signed. I can decide who wins and this game is a game that begins 13:30 on Saturday. I've seen too many games like this playing a fulltime draw game.

[Coyster]

Still in the same week there is also the Newcastle vs Chelsea match. The Blues, as we know recently, have continued to make many changes, can they return to the top flight to beat Newcestile?

Chelsea's last two games have been very good, they beat Spurs and drew with the treble winners, City. Chelsea fans will hope that this good run continues with another victory against Newcastle, and i think it possibly can. Newcastle are quite erratic this season, when they are at their best, they are a nightmare to play against, but on their bad days, it is easy to pick them apart, Chelsea would be hoping that it is another bad day for Spurs.

Newcastle play PSG in the CL on Tuesday, following their game against Chelsea on Saturday, they still have a very strong chance to qualify for the CL RO16, so that game is going to be very important for them, thus i don't know if it will affect their managers selection on Saturday, of course Chelsea have no engagement in Europe, so they have every full week to recover and go again.

In fact, it will be a little difficult for Liverpool to face Manchester City, even though Liverpool defense will block Haaland every move, this is not a solution to the problem but it will exacerbate the problems that will occur because Manchester City is currently not only competing relying on Haaland, but all Manchester City players are currently playing a role It's important who has the task of scoring and some midfielders also have the task of scoring and if the defense players are too focused on Haaland, the Manchester City midfielder will have the opportunity to score.
So providing a strategy to block Haaland is not the right choice or if you really want to maintain a draw it would be better to use a stronger formation and defensive strategy.

[KTChampions]

It seems to me on the contrary, Chelsea’s streak of success should end even despite the injuries to Newcastle players. Although, if we think differently: Chelsea is still in 10th place and this is clearly not where this club should be. But I still think that a double chance bet on Newcastle will be good. As for the City - Liverpool game, unfortunately, international games make this meeting very inconvenient for Liverpool - the players must return from the national teams and then go to Manchester. I don't think City will lose.

The Newcastle team is very strong this season as well. However, their performance is somewhat erratic. On the other hand, Chelsea has been performing very poorly since the beginning of the season. But Chelsea's performance in the last few matches has really impressed me. We have to admit that their performance has improved. Chelsea's front-line players in particular are able to perform very well.

Chelsea have scored 8 goals in the last two matches. But the important thing is that they scored these 8 goals against strong teams like Tottenham and Manchester City. If the Chelsea players can maintain the consistency of this performance, then I say Chelsea will win against Newcastle. Newcastle's defence is strong I know. But the Chelsea players are in a very good rhythm now. I believe they will be able to break Newcastle's defence.

Newcastle are not nearly as strong as they were last year. Due to injuries and a gambling scandal. Chelsea were good against Tottenham and City, but I draw the opposite conclusion from this: they are not a team that can be consistently good against good teams. Therefore, after good games, they should have a less successful one, and here I expect Newcastle to win.
