Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Joca97]

When facing big clubs in the EPL, Chelsea also has to prepare their defense when facing Newcastle. Indeed, Newcastle is not an easy opponent, but among the clubs that Chelsea just beat, Newcastle is still not thats tough when compared to the last 2 club (Tottenham and Manchester City)

When Chelsea play against top clubs, they always have surprises and play better than when they play against bottom clubs, that's why this match against Newcastle will definitely be difficult to predict, looking at previous matches against Tottenham and Manchester City is enough to prove that they really play well. when facing a strong club that is at the top of the EPL standings.

Playing at home and as hosts, of course Newcastle also has high self-confidence playing in front of all their fans and winning is their goal against Chelsea to get full points so they can get a better position in the current standings, my prediction is that the result will probably be a draw because Chelsea will play optimally so as not to lose points because they will definitely have difficulty winning as a guest.

I agree Chelsea always surprises big clubs lately and with them you cannot never know. But to be at the very top you need to win against underdogs always thats how you are at very top. The league is won on small games not on big games. Chelsea is improving each match so i dont know what to bet on them honestly

There have been several teams that found it difficult to beat Chelsea as of late. But Newcastle has the home advantage and I think they won't lose this game, but at the same time I would say that Chelsea has developed well and they have shown that they should not be written off too early this season. It will be a close game with many chances on both sides I think. But if I should pick a team to win this game, I would still go with Newcastle as they have had some incredible games in their stadium at home.

It is true. Chelsea became an obstacle for Tottenham and Man City. Chelsea stole points from those teams. So, it makes sense if people assume Chelsea will steal points from Newcastle, too.

Although Newcastle will play at home but their players are in bad situation, specifically for their attackers. There are too many injured players, it will be a big problem for Newcastle to play against Chelsea. I'm sure Newcastle seems difficult to win the match, they probably will play defensively due to the lack of attackers. They will try to get a draw result. With this matter, Chelsea may try to play more offensively. So, Chelsea will have a higher chance to win the match. The home advantage for Newcastle is likely to have no significant impact.

They won't try to tie the game because any team like Newcastle playing at home has the goal to win the game. It doesn't matter whether they play against Luton Town or Chelsea, playing at home as a Champions League participants means you want to beat every other team. But injuries could turn out to be heir weak point and Chelsea as one of the strongest teams on stranger ground might be sniffing a chance here to win some very important points for their way back up in the Premier League table.

If Newcastle was doing good as the previous season, I would say that they are the favourite ones definitely. Unfortunately this isn't the case right now. They are fluctuating from a match to another and the difference between them and Chelsea isn't that big. Even their odds according to bookies are the same. I don't know this could be considered as a good thing or not since Newcastle are playing home so normally their odds should be better.
I can't decide which team to support but I guess a draw is likely to happen unless a red card or an awful performance was shown by one of them.

Man United recruited Rasmus Hojlund for a transfer fee of 72 million pounds. However, the Danish player's performance is extremely unstable. He started struggling in the Premier League and still needs goals for MU in this arena. I wonder why Hojlund hasn't been able to score in the Premier League yet. I liked Hojlund's performance. He is a speedy striker, ready to outrun the opponent's 4 or 3 defenders. However, it will take some time before he stabilizes. Rasmus is new to the club and is slowly getting used to the rhythm of the other players. Hopefully, he will become a good striker in the future.

It's funny to say how hojlund was nothing compared to another striker that play for the different club at this moment. Over priced guy, his price is not even worth with his performance at this moment. I would like to see manchester united to get another expensive player to see whether the main problem was on the player or coach itself. This is really important to identify that caused by the future of club will be determined by the player and coach. Haaland's performance was so amazing unlike rasmus which is a flop in EPL.
This is the fact.

I don't really understand what happend to Rasmus Hojlund because at champion league and Denmark national team Rasmus Hojlund was onfire even during Euro 2024 qualification stages he was able to being an Denmark top scorer but i don't know why at Premier league he still unable to scores and this situation makes Ten Hag want to buy Griezmann from Atletico Madrid or Thomas Muller from Bayern Munich because currently Manchester United have a problem with their attacking lines and Rashford who performing well last season currently only scored 1 goal in Premier league so Ten Hag is really required new striker to solved their problem

I think the confidence that Chelsea have when playing big team right is a big win for them, from the previous games the confidence of Chelsea have been everything. Newcastle is a strong team I so much believe in but I don't think playing with Chelsea will be an easy game for Newcastle. The last game Chelsea played with Manchester City has really proved Chelsea is good enough to face any Premier league team, even the game Chelsea played with arsenal is another game to see how Chelsea have improve in their performance this season,  I think Newcastle and Chelsea meeting will be another interesting game to watch Chelsea how good they have become.

No one should underestimate Mauricio Pochettino who's currently the headcoach of Chelsea, he was appointed because the owner, Todd Boehly believes he's a prominent coach and stands in the position to deliver the team at this crucial moment. Chelsea is a top club in EPL, that we shouldn't forget in a hurry. Simply because the Blues experience a bad season the previous EPL campaign, they can still bounce back to form this season because mere watching their games, there performance have increase and there's evidence of growth.  

Initially, many people underestimated Mauricio Pochettino from the start of coaching at the Chelsea club. Many thought that Pochettino did not have a good strategy in improving Chelsea performance. Indeed, at first Chelsea start the season badly, but slowly Pochettino has begun to know what strategies he should apply to current Chelsea player. This is so that there are no more insults that put too much pressure on the Chelsea coach, at least Pochettino also has to implement good strategies such as when facing the last 2 match of the clubs he brought so that Chelsea can performed better in the remaining matches in the EPL.

When facing big clubs in the EPL, Chelsea also has to prepare their defense when facing Newcastle. Indeed, Newcastle is not an easy opponent, but among the clubs that Chelsea just beat, Newcastle is still not thats tough when compared to the last 2 club (Tottenham and Manchester City)

I don't really agree with such an ideology of playing very well when you meet big club and giving points away to smaller teams, this to me seems like inconsistency and mediocrity on the side of the manager. He has to replicate the same winning result everytime and everywhere if he must secure a place for Chelsea in the European competitions because if he fails to do this, then his job could be on the line.

I can't decide which team to support but I guess a draw is likely to happen unless a red card or an awful performance was shown by one of them.

It doesn't matter about Newcastle's unstable performance at this moment because after all, the reality is Manchester City who are still in good form but in fact managed to be held to a draw by Chelsea in the previous match. Also, Tottenham who have been very impressive so far this season, but the reality is that they were beaten by Chelsea too. So ya, I don't care about Newcastle's performance in this moment whether good or bad because of course, this match will still be a big match too this weekend. So ya, if we are confused about the betting options, then I think it would be more appropriate to bet with the option of both teams to score. Because yes, after all, Newcastle and Chelsea are still quite productive so far this season, so I'm sure this match will be interesting with goals coming from these two teams.

I think what is most important for Chelsea is that there is finally a discussion going on whether they can beat Newcastle or not. A few weeks and months ago Chelsea was not competitive anymore and they lost games that I thought can't be lost by them. But now they are good enough and back in shape to be a threat again for the good teams and I think this is fun again. Chelsea was disappointing like hell for so long and I gave them a few chances to watch a game from time to time, but stopped doing so. Now it is worth tuning in again. I think this is what is really great news.

When Manchester United signed the young striker I was not that comfortable with the signing not because the striker is not good enough, it is because he is young compared to the amount of money that he was signed with. Those kind of big signing is best for strikers that have played in the English Premier League.

Why who Hojlund is yet to adapt to the English Premier League pattern is because some players like Rashford has refused to help him get a goal, even Bruno Fernandes was supposed to have given him an assist to get a goal in the English Premier League. The young striker is not bad he has the champions league by scoring goals. Yet he is yet to replicate same in the English Premier League. He need the help of the squad as they do to Halland inManchester City

I think Manchester United were too hasty in signing Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta, especially as he only had 1 season there with 9 goals and 2 assists in 32 appearances in Serie A. Of course Ten Hag is aware of the talent Rasmus Højlund has as a center forward and he can be developed and become one of the best. However, the problem is, the high level of egoism of other Manchester United players has made it difficult for Rasmus Højlund to find himself in the Premier League.

Rasmus Højlund has so far scored 5 goals in 4 appearances in the Champions League with Manchester United. He hasn't scored a single goal in his 9 Premier League appearances, but if he really gets the support then I'm sure his performance this season will be very good. Just like Haaland, Rasmus Højlund just needs full support to help Manchester United get more goals.

Rasmus would come around I believe. It's just that he needs to adapt to the premier league style of play and understand that the league is way different from the Atalanta league he was signed from.
Unlike Harry McGuire of whom the media brought so much sentiments on, he is currently even doing better and has helped the Manchester United defense and team in winning some of their matches.

Maybe Erik Ten Hag saw talent while at Atalanta even though it was only 1 season with Atalanta but Erik Ten Hag has seen so far that even with injuries Højlund was signed by Manchester City and I don't doubt Højlund because he seems to have talent at a young age.

That is the selfishness of Manchester United players is still difficult for Erik Ten Hag to overcome even though we have known how other players do the same, but do not know what is in Ten Hag's mindset because he is still difficult to manage the squad that is still surrounded by other player problems such as Jadon Sancho.

I think Erik Ten Hag believes in Rashford more than Højlund, although my own assumption is that Højlund's game is better than the current Rashford, he has a selfishness and wants to control the ball to score but does not think about the chances of other players.

[Weawant]

Their culture are different, Manchester City's culture is play for team regardless there's a star player or not. But Manchester United's culture is play with ego and seniority, since both Bruno and Rashford are old players, they deserved to get ball than the striker.

Hojlund is just a junior player, maybe Bruno is working together with Rashford in order to destroy Hojlund and Rashford will back as a pure striker.

Clearly this is what Plays out with Manchester united most of the time, they play with so much ego and tend to give few or no privilege to younger or junior players and this culture of theirs is really telling on their performance so far because these young talents become less optimal.

Bruno Fernandes happens to be one who exhibits so much of this attitude, some times I think he places his personal interest over that of the team thereby reducing their chances of winning in some of the match, hojlund is a very good player which if such team spirit found in Manchester city could be replicated at old Trafford, he will definitely thrive way beyond his current state but then the bigger boys still wants all the glory to themselves.

Admittedly, Chelsea despite their inconsistent performances this season, has developed a knack for going up against big teams and surprisingly playing at their best. The game with Newcastle may not be any different.
The game played earlier with Man City and the performance that was put up by Chelsea is still very fresh on my mind as Chelsea played beyond expectations.
Newcastle is no small team and while I don’t totally agree with playing at home being that much of an advantage, I can see Chelsea having a tough time trying to have a win over Newcastle playing on their home turf.

Maybe this is also where Manchester United's weakness lies. The seniority and selfish attitudes that occur between fellow players make this squad very bad at working together. In fact, news about internal conflicts between fellow players during training also emerges most often from this club. In fact, if they can reduce their selfish attitude a little, this club will become a strong team, maybe even able to match Manchester City. Because Manchester United actually has no shortage of star players. It's just that this club really lacks chemistry between the players. All players are too eager to stand out alone. They fight to become stars on the field and sometimes forget important points in football. Namely cooperation.

And whether this is just my assessment or others too. However, I feel that even Ten Heg as a coach also has a slightly selfish attitude. So it's not surprising that the players at the club do the same thing. But strangely enough, when every player at Manchester United returned to their respective national teams, it turned out that these Manchester United players were unselfish players. In fact, I see that Bruno Fernandes is also a person who is able to build very good chemistry in the Portuguese national team. Or maybe because in the national team there are many players who are more senior than them. This makes them stop being selfish and allows them to play better. I don't know, but what is certain is that Manchester United actually has very good potential if they can work together and not be selfish on the pitch.

I think Rasmus Højlund's adaptation process has been pretty good so far, it's as planned. But as I said in the previous post, Rasmus Højlund must have full support from his teammates and he must be a target man who can make a difference as a center forward.

Rashford, Antony, Bruno and all the players must find Rasmus Højlund in the game. But look at Manchester United's game today, Rashford wants to score goals, Bruno Fernandes too and that has really made this team seem to be playing for itself without thinking about the team's benefits. This is just what I noticed, but there are a lot of issues for Ten Hag to resolve that his team is currently experiencing.

[bitgolden]

The drama continues in the English Premier League after Everton's deduction of 10 points. Now, Tottenham is under scrutiny for the transfer of Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth in 2008 for around £7.5 million. They conducted the deal with a third-party without the proper FA license before the transfer took place. Recently, the FA stated they would review the case if there is new evidence indicating serious violations of principles. If found guilty, they could face a points deduction. After a convincing winning streak at the start of the season, Spurs have hit a rough patch with two recent defeats. And now, the looming threat of a points deduction hangs over them. If points are deducted, their chances in the title race seem bleak. Will we lose a contender for the championship?

That was almost 16 years ago and the FA still has to carry out a review? It's quite strange and maybe there will be accusations because this news was spread when Tottenham was a contender for the English Premier League title. Of course, if they received sanction in the case from a dozen years ago, it would be very detrimental to Tottenham, and if they received a point deduction, it wouldn't just be the team that was being in the top five will benefit, but Manchester United and several teams below will also rise in ranking.

I mean when is the time too late for something to be checked? If there was a proof, and I mean like literally a concrete proof, would they cancel a championship from 100 years ago? I think 16 years is long enough time that we should start to look the other way, it feels like it is not going to be all that shocking at all and we should not really be expecting them to change anything at this point. A punishment for something that is 16 years ago is not really a big deal, and should not be all that easy to handle.

I think it should be a point where we are going to end up with a deal where it is not that easy to handle one way or another. We need to handle it a different way and could be done in a situation that's a bit like "can we ignore it already".

Hojlund actually has good ability when breaking into the opponent's goal, but the lack of support from midfielders means that he is not very developed, but he needs to adapt to the style of the English league because it is different here. Hojlund was not productive at all in the Premier League but was quite different when playing in the Champions League with the goals he scored. So I am quite optimistic that next season Hojlund will become one of the most dangerous strikers because if you look at his young age, it provides great opportunities for his career.

Manchester United's weakness in the previous few matches in the English league was that a number of players were very selfish and they did not provide passes even though Hojlund was standing freely in front of the opponent's goal. But as time went by things started to melt away, where Rashford, Garnaco and the captain looked a little more unified in their play.

[BIT-BENDER]

I think if Hojlund had gone to a team like Manchester city we would have seen his game at the top level, honestly as a striker Manchester united is a bad option because for a traditional striker to perform he needs to be feed more opportunities from his players but Manchester united can't provide those chances for Hojlund the way Erling Haaland is getting from his Manchester city players.
The type of attacker who has a chance in Manchester united is the likes of Kylian Mbappe who can also create chances for himself and has great pace to beat defense on his own, we have seen glimpse of what Hojlund can do so yes he is a fantastic player in the wrong team

[marcous]

I don't know, but what is certain is that Manchester United actually has very good potential if they can work together and not be selfish on the pitch.

I think what you say is right, what is happening now is the result of the selfish attitude of coaches and players, and maybe that why recently there was news that United wanted to recruit players like Griezman and Muller, maybe the aim was towards seniority in the dressing room and on the field. In fact a good attitude of cooperation must be started by Ten Hag, in fact up to now the coach is still arguing with Sancho, for me is ireally not exemplifying a leadership attitude.

It's not just Bruno, there are Hojlund and Mctominay who both put in good performances with their country. this could actually be a reference and lesson for Ten Hag, he could use this as a lesson to improve things for the better.

In terms of depth, Man United squad is considered good enough to compete in the EPL and UCL, but today we see the squad limping in these two competitions. in the end, they are always in the spotlight because of their poor performance, not because of their proud achievements like in the Ferguson era.

[alankasman]

Rashford, Antony, Bruno and all the players must find Rasmus Højlund in the game. But look at Manchester United's game today, Rashford wants to score goals, Bruno Fernandes too and that has really made this team seem to be playing for itself without thinking about the team's benefits. This is just what I noticed, but there are a lot of issues for Ten Hag to resolve that his team is currently experiencing.

What you notice in Manchester United's playing pattern is not much different from what other observers notice, even Man United fans also notice this situation in their favorite team.
Rashford and Bruno have similar characters in the team.
A number of other central midfielders owned by Erik ten Hag also have the same style of play. I think the turning point that Ten Hag has to work on is managing or balancing all of that, not bringing in other players.

In my opinion, if you have to force yourself to buy another player, don't buy a player with the same playing style as the one you already have.

When all players prioritize team achievements rather than personal achievements, unity and good performance can be expected. I saw that from Newcastle last season in the Premier League, while Girona was the La Liga team that was in the spotlight because of that. If all Manchester United players have this mindset, then I'm sure the team will get better from game to game.

Manchester City has made Haaland their mainstay center forward. He gets a lot of assists from his teammates and that has made Haaland and Manchester City win many titles last season. Ten Hag must imitate how Pep Guardiola manages the team and handles problems between players and controls the dressing room, if that is achieved then I believe Manchester United will be very competitive.
