Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Westinhome]

What i can say regarding this is. The main problem of manchester united was not the player but ten hag itself. It's reflected in the case between ten hag and varane. Two times ten hag made his players become inconvenient stay in the club.
Ten hag must be sacked or he will make another club to leave from there as soon as possible. The red devil needs to take a decision as soon as possible regarding ten hag's future. This guy was not competence anymore to be a coach.
he is always being involved in the problem against its players. Ten hag's actions were not even correct. The main role of coach to handle the club.

Ten hag was just telling its players how to be emotional human. This fucking glazer needs to kick him out. He was a fucking pleague.

The Manchester was the biggest team here,So the rest had very low chance in this league.Tomorrow match was mostly predictable because of the Liverpool and Chelsea,the Liverpool will win the match against the Man City.The Chelsea will win the match against Newcastle and keep their dominance in the table.Even though Man City had the game in their hands,the Liverpool will keep their dominance in the table.As we know the Arsenal was the third team to keep this record along with the Chelsea and Liverpool.This was my prediction to the game and some of my friend had their repeated opinion of Man city in this league.The Man united also had their ten percentage of thee fan base in the football community along with the Arsenal team.

[Joca97]

But however if it was Newcastle United against those clubs Newcastle United would have win them, because there performance this season is very impressive by also wining Arsenal on there match at least they have proven to be a strong team.

I agree with you. At the moment I don't see any chance of Chelsea winning this game. Although the bookies predict this will be an even match but one important note here is that Chelsea are very inconsistent and they often lose against average teams. Newcastle are in their best form and of course they have good statistics in the league this season.

It seems that Newcastle is currently not only an average team, because Newcastle is currently a big team. Also, Chelsea's success in the previous two matches by beating Tottenham and holding Manchester City with a draw result, at least it's a proof that at this moment Chelsea has managed to improve its quality and performance. After all, so far this season it is clear, that Tottenham and Manchester City are also better than Newcastle so ya, at least Chelsea will still have a good chance against Newcastle in the next Premier League match.

The league is better and better each season. Newcastle from a team that was fighting to survive is now a team that can attack the title and bet in top 4. We have around 10 clubs in the league that are on a huge level and that is just insane. This season i think it is the best in quality in history

Erik Ten Hag and Raphael Varane's relationship has been damaged

It all started at the Manchester derby last month when the two had a difference of opinion and ended in a rift between the two. Reportedly, Raphael Varane is not happy that Erik ten Hag prefers Johny Evans over him and I am also a bit surprised why Raphael Varane is not starting again after recovering from injury. I think competition between players is quite natural, but throwing away Raphael Varane for Johny Evans or Harry Maguire in Manchester United's defense is a bit selfish. After Ronaldo, De Gea, Sancho, and now it's Raphael Varane's turn to be the target of this Dutch coach. Do you think Erik ten Hag's actions were correct? Or is he actually the source of chaos in the Red Devils squad?

It is true that the dispute currently occurring within Man United stems from the wrong policy, in this case Ten Hag policy. I think it is time for Ten Hag to be fired, because if he continues to be retained it will create greater chaos, there will be many disputes that will surface. Instead of creating healthy competition in defense, he instead created new conflicts there.

Maybe the addition of players who don't like Ten Hag will bring the comedy to United end soon. Previously he had revoked the captain armband from Maguire because he was not feasible, but now we see Maguire being given more playing minutes, I think Ten Hag likes to change his words, he needs to apologize to Maguire.

Actually, I am also very curious about the club top officials, why they retained Ten Hag if they were unable to reduce the conflicts that occurred within the club, such as the dispute with Sancho, which has not yet been resolved. The club only pays players salaries without getting any contribution, the good news is that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will clearance sale players who don't contribute enough to the team, hopefully Ten Hag will be on that list.

To be honest, this is detrimental to the club, this is not the first time that Erik ten Hag has often thrown away important Red Devils players, because after several important players left behind, the Red Devils' game seemed to be forgotten.  produce points in every match, they tend to just throw away points in my opinion, Raphael Varane is the next victim that Erik ten Hag removed from the Red Devils squad, this is not about a mismatch in playing style or a decline in performance afterwards.  his injury, at least Erik ten Hag could give Raphael Varane the opportunity to develop further from the injury he was experiencing at that time, I think that was the most selfish thing I have ever known so it is very clear that Erik ten Hag is just wasting an opportunity this season.  .

Manchester City vs Liverpool will be the opening match in week 13 of the Premier League. Yes, it is a big match this week and there will be many people who are interested and can't wait to see how the match will go.
The bookie gives Manchester City a bigger chance of winning than Liverpool. However, the odds given by the bookmakers do not guarantee that Manchester City will really win in this tight match.
Liverpool must also be preparing carefully, because if they win then very convincingly they will be able to shift Manchester City from the top of the standings.

Right now in world football there is no team that Manchester city would be playing against without them having the lowest odds, that's how good pep guadiola team is.
Although Manchester city vs Liverpool is always an open game and any one can come out tops, one thing that's sure is that it would be a very exciting match and I think at the moment I don't have a favorite team in this match, both team knows the importance of the game so I go for a draw.

In this match, both teams will play with the aim of winning. No team will want to draw. The Manchester City team drew against Chelsea in the last match. If these two teams draw in today's match, then Arsenal will probably occupy the top spot in the points table. City's points gap with Arsenal is just 1.

None of the last 5 matches between Liverpool vs Manchester City was a draw. City have won their last two matches and Liverpool have won their previous three matches. And this season both the teams are playing for the title. So it is impossible to predict which team will win this match. Both teams have equal chances of winning. The match will essentially be Guardiola vs Klopp. The team whose match strategy is better will win.

If Erik Ten Hag has problems with his players again then he will add a new burden in improving Manchester United's performance. Yes, the lack of harmony in the changing room conditions will certainly cause big losses for the team. Seeing various problems always coming my way, I started to doubt Erik Ten Hag's capacity. The management should have given an ultimatum to immediately improve the non-technical side so that the team's situation does not get worse and worse.

Difficulty to pick a side between them both shows that the game will definitely end as a draw game tomorrow. Pep recognizes his mistake against Chelsea and those necessary corrections as they go on against the reds. It seems like the last few games has seen some drop in form. Liverpool too have improved Kloop and Pep will be in another intense battle tomorrow.

As hard as it goes there will be a winner in this match, if not for the draw, Liverpool will be my best pick to win Manchester City have not been same I don't always trust the bookies. Varane has dropped form and Erik Ten Hag's staff has stopped trusting in the service he brings to the defense.

I agree with you. At the moment I don't see any chance of Chelsea winning this game. Although the bookies predict this will be an even match but one important note here is that Chelsea are very inconsistent and they often lose against average teams. Newcastle are in their best form and of course they have good statistics in the league this season.

I think the game is open to be won by either of Chelsea and Newcastle United. While Chelsea are knownn to be an inconsistent team and poor in front of goal; this season Newcastle United has also been inconsistent and injury ravaged which is enough reason to help gamblers understand its either any team wins or a draw ensues

Personally, i think Chelsea will win the tie, they are in good spirits and better form as well.

These two games against Tottenham and Manchester City probably saved his ass   These games in particular were the right results at the right time for him. If those were two more of those array of disappointments against some teams from the bottom table, I think Pochettino could have been fired by now. But with those two games he created a lot of hope for the team and also for the Chelsea owners. He now has the chance to take this streak against the top teams to the next stage with a win against Newcastle. That would be weird, beating the best teams and losing to the weakest teams.

I don't think Chelsea management will lose much faith in Pochettino before he finishes the season. Pochettino is starting to find a good formula for Chelsea's game and so far they are starting to get into good form. Everything seems to be starting to do as expected although I'm sure Pochettino really wants more, but at least Chelsea's game is starting to get better now.

The match against Newcastle will be good for Chelsea. Of course they hope to win at their opponent's home ground even though I'm sure Chelsea won't get it easily from Newcastle. I know Newcastle is still better than Chelsea, but Chelsea showed something great in the last two matches. They can handle the pressure against big teams like Liverpool and Manchester City, which means there is hope about a win against Newcastle.

With what Chelsea has shown against Tottenham and Manchester City, it means they are getting back to their winning ways and if Chelsea can beat Newcastle United tomorrow they will boost their chance of making the top four in the Premier League because Newcastle United is another strong side in the Premier League that has won clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United,  and Manchester City.

Chelsea can honestly win this match they finally are playing really good and are in good form finally. So i think they can win against Newcastle that is in a really bad form currently. They are looking for a way out of this bad streak and are playing against a team that is playing really good lately.

[QueenVera]

Yeah based on statistics, Chelsea has improved from last season even though at the start of this season they played badly, slowly everything can be resolved I think this is positive progress. If Chelsea does it consistently so Chelsea has the potential to become a competitor for other top teams, apart from that this is the ideal time for the coach to evaluate the team because in a few months the transfer window will open, this means that Chelsea can bring in new players to complete the squad. I personally hope Chelsea will bring in players for the defense line.

Regarding Newcastle vs Chelsea, I just checked the betting markets it seems the bookie doesn't favor any of them the odds for both teams are the same @2.6 for Newcastle and @2.55 for Chelsea I will not choose one of them but for betting I will consider both teams to score @1.65 if we bet YES this is not a bad option right? Newcastle and Chelsea are both hunting for points, therefore I predict both teams will score each other, what do you think about Both teams to score?

No doubt Chelsea has tremendously improved and credits must be given to Pochettino, what this team needs is to keep the fore burning and in no distant time, they’ll be competing among top teams in the league, yes the team isn’t still very balanced as it ought to be and there are still some signings that have to be made to make the team a fierce one, that should be the coach’s target in this January transfer window.

 Over the weekend, they’ll travel to Newcastle who’s another improved side in the English League but placing our money on BTTS might be safe buh a more safer bet is giving Chelsea the upper hand in the double chance i.e Chelsea Win or Draw i think that’s more preferable and saferas Newcastle have some injury worries.

Atleast, Todd Boehly have corrected his mistakes by bringing in one of the life savers for the club, appointing Mauricio Pochettino have become one of the best decision made by the owner this season. Checking their performance, they have improve massively. Chelsea new boss, Mauricio Pochettino deserved his flowers for a nice job and improvement in the performance of the club. The Blues will keep the fire burning and they're ready to face tough sides this season, I'm no longer frighten by these teams because I'm pretty confident in my club and they will surely deliver in matches.

[Sakanwa]

Chelsea's opponent this week is Newcastle United, which is also a big team with a not so bad position in the League table and I also hope that Chelsea can play better to improve their position in the League table. Because it is time for Chelsea to make a comeback with a very good performance from now on so that Chelsea can continue to stick with other mid-table teams before entering the start of the new year or before the transfer market opens again.

EPL table will change with time, let's watch out the outstanding performance that will come from these teams present, some will fight for significant positions and winning major titles while some will be relegated because of extremely poor performance this season. We should not hope because watching the team that will face Chelsea this weekend, Newcastle is not competitive as they were few months back, so it will be understandable if they're humiliated when they face Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino and the Blues will no longer settle for lesser results this season, they have the burning fire in them.

This is a game our eyes are on,many people are predicting Chelsea to win because they were able to get a draw against Manchester City,and Arsenal.It is true  Chelsea are beginning to gather some mumentum,but they still have problem with consistency,they are not consistent,they can play well today,and you will assume they have started doing well,and all of a sudden,they can just turn out to dissappoint you in the next game.Newsactle will either win them,or they will get a draw,I don't see Chelsea winning this one at all.We all know that of recent, Newcastle dropped form,and they might want to return back to winning ways with this Chelsea game.So I give them a win or draw in this match.

[pusaka]

I wasn't a Man U fan but I remember their best days when Sir Paul was coach... Since then of course the team didn't have any cups anymore... Judging by their current games, good results are not something they will be able to achieve in the near future... But wouldn't want them to become like Chelsea last season...

Sir Alex Ferguson is a coach who is currently coveted by many people who like Manchester United. But it is difficult to find a figure like him. Erik Ten Hag, who is expected to be a Sir Alex figure, turns out that until now he cannot show something very good which will then become a breath of fresh air later. Even now he is widely criticized for his performance that has not improved.
Manchester United have long been in a situation like this and they are very difficult to get up and achieve their former glory.

Manchester City vs Liverpool will be the opening match in week 13 of the Premier League. Yes, it is a big match this week and there will be many people who are interested and can't wait to see how the match will go.
The bookie gives Manchester City a bigger chance of winning than Liverpool. However, the odds given by the bookmakers do not guarantee that Manchester City will really win in this tight match.
Liverpool must also be preparing carefully, because if they win then very convincingly they will be able to shift Manchester City from the top of the standings.

I'm one of the people who are really waiting for this match, 2 teams that are competing at the top to be able to occupy the top of the standings. The results of this match will be very decisive for both teams, because if one of them has to lose, then their position is really threatened. It could be that if one of them loses then their position will be shifted at least 2 positions after passing this 13th week. However, both teams will appear all out to ensure they can achieve maximum results.

This is a game our eyes are on,many people are predicting Chelsea to win because they were able to get a draw against Manchester City,and Arsenal.It is true  Chelsea are beginning to gather some mumentum,but they still have problem with consistency,they are not consistent,they can play well today,and you will assume they have started doing well,and all of a sudden,they can just turn out to dissappoint you in the next game.Newsactle will either win them,or they will get a draw,I don't see Chelsea winning this one at all.We all know that of recent, Newcastle dropped form,and they might want to return back to winning ways with this Chelsea game.So I give them a win or draw in this match.

Yes, they have good capital when dealing with Newcastle, they have a victory over Tottenham and also a draw at home to Manchester City. The draw against Manchester City I can say it was a victory for them, because Manchester City were at their best at the time, and also they did not force Manchester City to play goalless but they managed to create 4 goals at that time with a tight game and also exchanged goals. This is a very valuable capital for Chelsea.

Manchester City have an assured victory against Liverpool because they are playing at home in Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City are good at home. It will be very difficult for Liverpool to win Manchester City because they are performing well in both the champions league and the premier league, but anything can happen, because I see Liverpool are performing great now and they can compete with Manchester City in the league But he will be very difficult for them because in the bet, Liverpool has a 4.25 odd and Manchester City has a 1.68 odd, which means Manchester City can win the match because I am confident Pep Guardiola will do everything in his power to keep his club top of the league.

Victory can not be too sure for City because they're not facing just any random team but an elite team that also stand a chance to win the EPL title this season. Manchester City are home but it doesn't pose any threat for their pre-eminent rival this season. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp will shakes hands at Etihad Stadium tomorrow, watching both genius will be a big privilege for football lovers. We gives credits to be the best team after the big winnings, City and the Reds are on the same level this season, both teams have the required strategy and players to match each other game pattern.

If we look at the statistics of the two teams in the last 5 matches they have the same records 2 wins 2 draws 1 loss. On the other hand Chelsea is on fire in the last 2 matches which increases the confidence of Chelsea players while Newcastle plays at home of course this is another advantage so overall this match is unpredictable because both teams have an advantage, as I said before only luck can help one of them to win for example a red card, penalty or other things or another scenario they just play a draw.

[Ryu_Ar1]

It is unfortunate indeed for some players who can be said to have failed at Manchester United, especially for Van De Beek. I quite like what he did at the previous club but his performance dropped dramatically at Manchester United not only today but even in the Rangnick and Ole era he failed to shine especially with the injuries he had experienced exacerbating the performance problems of Van De Beek.
Several offers have also been made for this player but he continues to insist on being at Manchester United but it looks like this January he will be forced to leave.
For some other players there will definitely be some changes but the problem is that the scouts at Manchester United and Ten Hag's choices also sometimes do not match expectations such as now Mount who still cannot show his performance or last season where we saw the name Weghorst who failed on loan.

Van de Beek once shone with Ten Hag when he was at Ajax which was indeed a very good season for Ajax because there were several players like Martinez, Antony and Van de Beek and Haller but after the move of these players to the current club where Haller to Dortmund and 3 players to Manchester United (Van de Beek, Antony and Martinez) so far only Martinez has not been too disappointing because for Van de Beek the previous injury problem really made him like destroyed in terms of performance other than that Antony, I don't want to talk anything about his emotions that are always overflowing.

If there is going to be a major overhaul in January then Manchester United must be prepared with all situations and finances because releasing some players like Eriksen or Van de Beek now I don't think it will make their finances increase much because the value is currently far below compared to previous purchases.

This is something to think about because reshuffling the squad in the middle of the season can be a double-edged knife where it can be better or worse and Manchester United must be prepared for that situation.
In addition, they also need a considerable amount of money. They at the beginning of this season have spent almost 200 million for 3 players (Hojlund, Onana and Mount) and we know the Glazer Family is an owner who is considered stingy even by Manchester United fans themselves so some considerations must be made in this regard.

But if in the end there is no change from this squad it may also be dangerous because after all they need to add some ammunition to patch up the shortcomings in midfield and defence even though their players are quite a lot there but until now it still hasn't had a big effect on performance moreover the problem of player injuries at Manchester United is also quite difficult to anticipate.

Personally, i think Chelsea will win the tie, they are in good spirits and better form as well.

I don't see Chelsea to be inconsistent in their performance this season, in last season I can rate Chelsea to be one of the most inconsistent team in premier league  but Chelsea have really improve this season in their games .

 If Chelsea was able to play a draw game with Manchester City and Arsenal I don't think Newcastle will be something that will be difficult for them. Newcastle is a strong team and they still have chance of winning Chelsea but from what we have seen in Chelseas recent performance I think they have the ability of challenging any tough team in premier league.

It would be quite good if Chelsea could win that match against Newcastle United, because Chelsea is indeed making a comeback and is aiming for victory to take them to a better position in the League standings. However, I also think that Newcastle United will not let Chelsea win easily at home, because Newcastle United is also aiming for victory in order not to continue to slump in the current league standings.
