Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Nheer]

In the recent match between Chelsea and Everton, where Chelsea faced a defeat, there's a bit of uncertainty about whether James' injury was the main reason for Chelsea's loss. However, let's consider another perspective – perhaps Everton is just performing exceptionally well lately. If you take a look at Everton's recent games, they've been on fire. Out of the last eight matches, they only lost one to Manchester United and had a draw in another.

It’s unfair to blame Chelsea’s defeat on James as no one ever plans to be injured, it is a natural something but I would blame the medical staffs regarding James injury and some other injuries in the team, they seem to be doing a terrible job and it could be why James have been getting injured more often. I think Chelsea’s loss was due to the overall team performance and not just because a player is missing out, Chelsea have been poor in recent games and Everton have been performing well that’s why they won the match. I don’t know what’s happening to Chelsea but they need to step up their game else they could find themselves in the relegation zone.

James is a crucial player that adds quality to the team but he is not yet fully fit and I will suggest he opts for the surgery so he can fully recover and help the team as usual. I think the problem with Chelsea is from the dressing room and they better resolve it fast so we can start seeing the Chelsea that played against Manchester City and Arsenal again.

Beyond this defeat we have Chelsea and Manchester United on same level in this season even Manchester United is above in rank but these both big clubs are having too many issues which are hurting them badly for having better results and just because of this things are going worst every day.

Everton doing decent job in this season but sadly due to deduction of points we have them at the bottom otherwise surely their ranks are 9th or 10th which make them better than Chelsea and with this it's not case James was injured so just because of this Chelsea lost they are regrouping themselves, and it's not working with needs more time for having better results.

Here we need to check this all happening just because of injury of this player or overall team performance is also not good, it's more important, and then we can realize how things are going here for this match and season.

Chelsea and Manchester United are currently having similar issues; one needs players and the other needs both players, coach and luck to get back to winning ways and this is one bizarre thing as they’re both among EPL’s top 6 but with this kind of performance I don’t see both teams going close to the UCL next season, cause both teams have become a shadow of themselves.

Everton are currently a better team than Chelsea even with the points deduction; they’ve defeated Newcastle and Chelsea yes you could term it motivation from the deduction but this should be a warning signal to Chelsea, their week in week out lost most of her players to injury or cards and these gives chance for rotation and while rotating, the cohesion isn’t there which could be a factor to their falter.

This is bad news for Chelsea’s coach and the entire team. Reece James is a very great player in the team that Chelsea need in this their trying times but his injury has become a pain in the neck for him for some time now. This player has been playing great but he have now started becoming an injury prone player because of how often he gets injured now. If things doesn’t change for good, Chelsea will one day want to sell him and have a replacement without having injuries that will last a long time or a player susceptible to injury more often.

The long term injury to Reece James is bad news for Chelsea right now. He is expected to return back in February to match, but he will miss a lot of Chelsea games. I've heard rumors that Real Madrid is interested in buying James, but I don't think that will happen again because of his injuries. Reece James is still a key player for Chelsea, so I don't think they will decide to sell him to replace another player. As we all know, Chelsea can acquire any player without having to sell current players.

Some Manchester United fans are saying Harry Kane would have been a better choice than Hojlund but to me I don't see it that way, Man UTD don't have what it takes to feed the England number 9 to get goals for the club.
 They lack maturity in that team, everyone on the Red devils team are feeling too big and it won't make any difference if Harry Kane was a United player, that individual play will still continue and it won't have worked out well the way we are seeing Kane banging goals for Bayern because at Manchester United the services are not there.
 I don't even see Manchester United getting a comfortable game against Liverpool this weekend, it would be another disappointing fixture for them and Klopp would make sure he gets all 3 points.

If Harry Kane were to join Manchester United, he would still have to face the same issues that Hojlund is currently facing. While at Bayern Munich, Kane had incredible players who worked hard to help him score goals, but since Hojlund joined Manchester United, he has only scored goals in the Champions League. When Hojlund first arrived, some people compared him to Erling Haaland, another goal scorer who had arrived in the Premier League, given the way he struggled to score. In particular, Rashford didn't want to assist anyone and wanted to score on his own, Bruno will also miss their next match against Liverpool, of course that will really be another disappointment.

I disagree with this, Harry Kane couldn't have struggled to score goals for Manchester United in the Premier League, because Harry Kane is used to the Premier League and could score goals for any club he plays for. Harry Kane is a striker who likes to hustle to score goals, even when his club is not performing well.

It may sound unfair, but injuries to key players have destabilized Chelsea's form. The same thing happened to Manchester City this season, their performance was unstable because several players were injured or when their best midfielder was absent.

Player injuries are a problem that is very likely to cause a team's performance to drop and cause them to lose a lot of points. Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City have experienced it this season, but Tottenham and Manchester City can certainly still be expected compared to Chelsea and Manchester United. Chelsea has been too bad this season even though Pochettino has made some differences, but Chelsea hasn't changed much.

I have never seen in the media that there is talk of Ten Hag resignation, I think it's more the fans' wish, which by the way the club management doesn't hear and probably doesn't want to hear since he is still in office. But even if they win the match with Liverpool, they can lose another, the next match, so I think it is not an indicator and not a reason to sack the coach

Erik Ten Hag might resigned from his position as headcoach this season after facing challenges weigh bigger than his capacity this season. Manchester united have lost quite relevant points in matches and they got eliminated from the UEFA Champions League last night against Bayern Munich. I would say the problem of the Red Devils originates from the players and the Glazers who happen to be the owners. The coach on othe hand is also making mistakes, making wrong signings. Two straight defeats in a row and now they will face Liverpool this weekend at Anfield stadium, clearly bad news for the Red Devils.

Some time ago we saw some statements from officials even from SAF who still believed Ten Hag and would continue to maintain Ten Hag's position as coach but indeed with the current situation, especially the defeat and not being able to qualify for the next phase in the Champions League, it seems that this could be some difference in Ten Hag's consideration as coach.

Now until the end of the season surely Manchester United will continue to keep Ten Hag but when the situation turns worse than today and in the EPL Ten Hag cannot do much then it is not impossible for him to be forced to resign from his position as coach at this time.

I don't trust Tottenham just yet, they have a habit of mounting a big challenge against big teams like Manchester City only to lose points to weaker contenders. Regardless, kudos to them on getting those 3 points against Newcastle, which also seems to be a very unstable team lately.

Yes, it cannot be denied that their inconsistency in each match is quite bad and really affects the results of their matches. several times they even wasted opportunities to win against several middle-class clubs. But it's true what you said, they are quite enthusiastic when playing against a big group. This inconsistency is what often makes Tottenham fail.

The coach is making wrong signings and the coach is making the wrong decisions all the time. He is not a part of the team, it seems as if ten Hag is an enemy of the team. He now publicly explained that the team is not good enough from what I understood. I did not see the whole interview, but I wonder if he was also critical with himself or if he blamed the players only. Manchester United only occasionally played acceptable ever since he took over the coaching position. In my opinion the players could be playing better if their instructions are more goal-oriented and the coach is a part of the team as I said.

It is very difficult to analyze Man United, why since there is no more SAF until now Man United is not as strong as before, how many coaches have been replaced by Man United but have never been able to get back up. Now many People say "Old Trafford is not a good place for opponents" But now, it's the best place for opponents to get Free 3 points on every visit.

The question isn't whether to fire him, I think it's just a matter of time. Besides, if you fire him, who is the suitable replacement to coach Man United? Gamble with Roy Keane who doesn't have a record yet? The experiments of former players like Gerrard or Lampard clearly did not work. Guardiola, Klopp, Xabi Alonso, Ancelotti or Nagelsmann are all not available. This is even worse. Man United is in serious trouble, in fact, whoever the coach is, it is difficult for them to recover.

There's not a single sector of Manchester United that is doing well. Ten Hag just happens to be the most obvious one. In my opinion, he should be fired by the club because waiting for him to resign is a waste of time, it won't happen. Manchester United better not make the same mistake Chelsea made last season by leaving Potter till there was no hope of winning any trophy before firing him.

Firing a coach is expensive though because you have to pay him off but it's the best decision. If a new manager comes in and Manchester United starts playing well and winning they might have a chance to win other trophies like the FA Cup or Carabao Cup. Even if they don't win, they'll be able to compete for those trophies if they have the right manager.

[Issa56]

Manchester United are yet to find a coach who will help the club go back to their glory days. Erik Ten Hag could have helped build Manchester United back to winning ways, but he made a mistake by letting Dave de Gea leave Manchester United which is affecting Manchester United's not to win some of their matches because Onana keeps on making errors.

Manchester United's problem is not only the goalkeeper, don't you see that Manchester United's defense is also very weak, which is always easy for opponents to penetrate, and they also have a horrible goalkeeper. We all have seen the errors Onana has been making since he was signed by Manchester United, but we shouldn't blame the goalkeeper alone, the defense is also weak. We all now know the value of Ge Dea. Ten Hag made a great mistake by letting De Gea leave the club. We can all see that De Gea's performance is better than Onana's. De Gea should have just been taken as the second goalkeeper. Now that Onana is not performing up to everyone's expectations, they will have just fallen back to De Gea. But ten Hag chased De Gea away, which is one of the mistakes he made. If not for Onana's poor performance, Manchester United would not have conceded the number of goals they have conceded this season.

But it's true what you said, they are quite enthusiastic when playing against a big group. This inconsistency is what often makes Tottenham fail.

Inconsistency only adversely impacts a club that is performing poorly in matches; they have no strong grounds to improve a team's performance. This demonstrates that the English Premier competition is unquestionably an overcoat competition in which only the strong survive. Tottenham Hotspur is a very competitive club, despite their lack of consistency in EPL matches, but we shouldn't blame the coach, Ange Postecoglou, who was keen to secure top points for Spurs has observed the league and now knows it's not easy to adapt to the club's style of play.

[Palakka]

It will be hard for Manchester City to repeat what they did in the Premier League last season because Kevin De Bruyne will be with the Manchester City squad for the long term and it is affecting Manchester City's performance. Liverpool is the real threat to Manchester City this season, Liverpool will want to be at the top of the Premier League till the season ends.

With the consistency that Liverpool has built this season, it is very clear that it will be a real obstacle for its competitors, especially for Manchester City, which is currently starting to have a gap with Liverpool in terms of points. So it is very possible for Manchester City to experience difficulties this season and will not be able to repeat the success they achieved last season this season. But Liverpool must also be able to maintain their performance until the end of the season if they want to make Manchester City continue to experience difficulties.

With Liverpool's two seasons of experience,  it becomes clear to the club that there is need for up to days performance and keeping up with recent and current status quo which is to maintain a point that will place the at a better advantage over their competitor in this season and haven't seen his Liverpool have managed to score their point in this season even to the point of defending their current position against the defending title holder Manchester city who have not really being doing well in this season is something to really look out for for the next few matches which will determine which position both clubs will end the season.

But for sure,  Liverpool seems to be in a better formation in this season compared to Manchester City,  but then we shouldn't take that as a guarantee that Liverpool will continue to dominate the leagues in this season and Manchester City will be unable to reposition and take over they lost glory already which is something that both clubs have been working for or against since the season begins some time ago.

This is quite appropriate because Liverpool managed to use last season bad experience to improve this season and so far They have succeeded in doing so. For this reason, The obstacle that is holding them back is that there are no player injury at a time when They need a boost in strength from their core players to be able to maintain their performance. The competition at the top in the fight for the Title is still not heated up because there are still many match to come in which one team can lose their best ranking.

Kloop is a coach who is quite capable and Has a lot of experience so it is not surprising that he can make liverpool strong again with the few changes they make. Nunez must be able to work better because so far He has shown a slight improvement in his quality compared to last season. Salah remains liverpool goal machine and He can provide a lot of strong encouragement for his teammates to beat their opponents.
Even in the european league, Liverpool is quite the favorite to win the title this season because They are the strongest with compared to other team. For Kloop, This season is the best season for Liverpool to show how strong they are in every competition they participate in.

Indeed. Onana's inability to protect the goal from various opponents' attacks was quite bad. But it wasn't his fault alone. Onana was a great goalkeeper. But at Man United, he really couldn't be as optimal as before. Because after all, Man United's defense is also really bad. So, this certainly puts special pressure on Onana. He couldn't be that focused and optimal. It's a shame that Ten Hag also made several decisions that were not wise and weren't that good for the whole club. So, it is indeed unfair if Onana is the only one who is the victim of accusations for poor recording performance. They are all responsible, especially Ten Hag. This time, Man United is not as good as before.

That was the same defense that was defending for Manchester United when David De Gea was Manchester United's goalkeeper. David De Gea managed to help Manchester United qualify for the Uefa Champions League this season and also won the best goalkeeper in the Premier League with that same defense.

[rahmad2nd]

The poor results continued, making Ten Hag look even worse.  Lost to the bottom team and failed to qualify for the UCL.  I don't know if he will be sacked, but maybe Ten Hag's suffering will continue. Next week they will play Liverpool. Statistically the game I'm sure Man United will struggle. They will probably lose again. After that there may be a decision from the management regarding Ten Hag.

With their failure in the Champions League and not qualifying for the Europa League, United should be able to focus on improving their performance in the Premier League competition. they have to throw away their defeat in the Champions League competition, and it's time to focus on the main league competition. Ten Hag has homework, now the task is not as heavy because they no longer participate in several competitions, especially the Champions League.

Casemiro reportedly returned to training with MU ahead of the previous match against Bayern, but it seems he is not ready to play. Previously, Casemiro was scheduled to return on January 15. However, it seems Casemiro is making good progress in his recovery after being involved in training on the club's social media. Plus, several players are scheduled to recover from injuries, such as Mount and Eriksen. If that's true, Ten Hag has new ammunition he can rely on. at least, pleasant news for fans of The Red Devil.

We know, currently Liverpool is in its best performance. However, no one can predict for certain the match between the two teams this week. and what is certain, we are looking forward to this match being held. Apart from that, I don't dare to preemptively state what the club management will decide. but my guess is that Ten Hag's position will remain safe with United. The reason is, there are many factors. Well, we can discuss that later, before we first confirm United's management policy regarding Ten Hag's position as United's head coach.

[TopT3ns]

That was the same defense that was defending for Manchester United when David De Gea was Manchester United's goalkeeper. David De Gea managed to help Manchester United qualify for the Uefa Champions League this season and also won the best goalkeeper in the Premier League with that same defense.

However, in reality, the Manchester United goalkeeper could not withstand the attack from Bayern, which resulted in him having to accept a 1-0 defeat. In the final minute, Manchester United should still have had the opportunity to score a goal, but Manchester United's front line had difficulty scoring a goal until the match was over. This is an important evaluation for Manchester United so that it doesn't happen again in future matches.

[Asiska02]

Manchester United are really crying for help these days.

Manchester United are crying for a new coach and i wonder when the board will work in that direction and fix it well. The Manchester United plays without tactics, no style of play, no build up plans or any attacking intents at all.

What Manchester United is a better coach not that tactical fraud lol. This weekend, they face Liverpool; another demolition in sight.

How many coaches has Manchester United hired since the retirement of Alex Ferguson? Sometimes I think the problem of Manchester United is bigger than coaches alone. So when people say Ten Hag should be fired I laugh. Let him stay and finish the season that's my opinion.

It doesn’t look like anyone is going to sack the coach of Manchester United any time soon. His performance looks unappreciative from the management but I think they still have some hope in him to better the team before the end of the season. He got the chance he wanted and his elimination from the champions league will make him focus more on the premier league more than before. I feel sometime that the problem is not from the coach and could also be from the players but that of the coach is always apparent and seen to be blamed than any other. I hope they get to see a change Manchester United soon, now that Eric Ten Hag will have the plenty privilege to do that.

[Leviathan.007]

News from the Premier League and the new players is now about Bernd Leno the player and goalkeeper of Fulham. This German goalkeeper extended his contract with Fulham and he is going to stay in this team for a longer time until 2027 also in this new contract there is the possibility for Bernd Leno to stay for one more year until 2028.
Bernd Leno is a former goalkeeper of Arsenal.

They finished last in their group in the Champions League. They will probably not finish among the top 4 teams in the league this season. I think there is no good reason for Erik ten Hag to stay at the club. Instead of putting up with Erik ten Hag any longer, they can sign a new manager and wait for him to install his system of play in the team. If they do that, they will gain time. They have already lost this season and whoever comes in will need time to adapt the team to his system of play.

[Kaliandra]

Yeah actually I believe so because there is actually time for Manchester City to come back because even there last season performance they had similar challenges which make Arsenal to lead on there table for sometime and it was later Manchester City manages to peak form and beat Arsenal which make them to win the last year premier league.

Yeah I also have confidence in Manchester city to come back, since Aston villa which is in third position is just ahead of them with 2 points, Arsenal which is in second position is just ahead of them with 3 points and Liverpool is ahead of them with 4 points, the gap is still kind of small, and Manchester city should be able to cover up. Arsenal was leading Manchester City with reasonable points last season, but gradually Manchester City were able to cover up and they won the league last season, but this season won’t be a easy one for Manchester City, am not really satisfied with their performance yet, and this season will be a different one for Manchester City, because they won’t be able to win all the leagues Manchester City won last season.

That's your own Analysis but for me Liverpool wouldn't want to give up that top soon like they will fight with every energy they've got and I trust Jorgen Klopp as he's gonna make sure his boys will remain at the top of the league for sometimes if at all they will not utilize this great opportunity of topping the table and as well win the league at last. Your analysis about Manchester city last season may be correct but this season is more of competitive than last season so it may really not be easy to predict the title winners yet as the gaps between the top teams in the table ain't that much.

It will be hard for Manchester City to repeat what they did in the Premier League last season because Kevin De Bruyne will be with the Manchester City squad for the long term and it is affecting Manchester City's performance. Liverpool is the real threat to Manchester City this season, Liverpool will want to be at the top of the Premier League till the season ends.

I also have the opinion that Manchester City certainly has the potential to rise again in the rankings because I see that currently its performance is improving again and I also hope that E. Haaland recovers quickly from his injury, because E. Haaland is of course very influential on Manchester City's strength but he is indeed struggling to riseRanking above is certainly not an easy thing.

Yes, Liverpool is of course a strong team, of course Jurgen Klopp will not let Liverpool's position be shifted by other teams, but I see that Liverpool's current performance is not good, like in the match against Crystal Palace and it ended with a score of 1-2 for Liverpool's victory, but what preceded by scoring a goal from Crystal Palace player J. Mateta and continued by Liverpool players Mohamed Salah and H. Elliot who scored goals and ultimately won for Liverpool. but even though Liverpool won, I think it's a natural thing because Crystal Palace's ranking is certainly very different from Liverpool's. Liverpool should be able to score more goals, so in my opinion, currently Liverpool's performance is experiencing a slight decline, so of course this will open up opportunities for other teams to shift Liverpool's position. but hopefully Jurgen Klopp will quickly improve Liverpool's performance.

Yes, predicting who will be the champion this season is very difficult because the distance between the points is not too far, but of course this will result in exciting and tight competition.

but I am sure that with the strength of Manchester City, Manchester city will perform well and its ranking will rise, yes, but of course Liverpool will definitely maintain its position until the end of this season, so we'll see what Jurgen Klopp does to maintain Liverpool's position so that they become champions this season. This.

[TelolettOm]

There is no doubt that Manchester City is very strong this season. However, their performance in this season is weak compared to the last season. The team is dependent on Haaland. However, Haaland is not getting enough support from the midfielders this season.

I doubt it. If Man City is still a very strong team, they should be in the top of EPL standings now. In fact, Man City is 4th place, their performance isn't as well as in the last season. This proves that man City is no longer as a very strong team, they drops their strength after some players left Man City and De Bruyne got a long injury. I think Pep Guardiola has done some wrong decisions after they won the EPL and UCL titles last season. Now, Man City doesn't have a good squad depth like previously.

Haaland is surely a great striker. But it is true that he can't optimize his ability in scoring if he doesn't get good supports from midfielders. Man City also can't win the match if they too rely on the goals from Haaland. Haaland doesn't always perform in his best level, sometimes he possibly plays unexpectedly. In this situation, there should other players who can make the difference on the match. Man City has De Bruyne and İlkay Gündoğan in last season, now these players are no longer in the lineup.
