Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Jeger.Kiting]

Chelsea will host Fulham in the next match, will they be able to get through this week with a win and continue their previous 2 wins? or will they get another disappointing result by being defeated by Fulham?

If you talk about Chelsea is really hard to say if they'd win or not and same goes to Fulham but the main focus should be on Chelsea because they're the bigger boys but these days is like they should be classified as smaller team base on performance.
This season is very hard for the Blues to even get a draw talkless of a win, I'd say Fulham are going to do anything possible to get a win that's if Pochettino decide to do some wrong selection.

It is true that currently Chelsea is difficult to predict because their performance is very unstable, especially when playing away from home. However, when Chelsea is the host, Chelsea wins and draws more, which I don't think Chelsea will let Fulham win at Stamford Bridge.
And head to head both Chelsea teams are superior to Fulham and Chelsea won three wins, one draw and also one defeat against Fulham. And I think Pochettino will plan and give his best in front of his supporters and will field his best squad to win this match, even though every Chelsea match is always in doubt, but for this match I think they can win it.

With Chelsea's unstable performance this season, it is very difficult to determine the winner in this match. However, the Chelsea VS Fullham match will be held at Chelsea's home ground, so I think Chelsea will win this match, because I saw in several matches Chelsea played at home and always won even though their performance was very bad. Obviously the head to head between Chelsea and Fullham was won by Chelsea, but we don't know what happened on the pitch when the match started, because I also still have serious doubts about Chelsea when they played. Hopefully Pochettino has a strategy and plan that is really useful for Chelsea's victory in this match.

FT: Sunderland 0-3 Newcastle

Job done.

Newcastle United claimed victory over Sunderland. I expected a tougher game, to be honest. The better team won, and I have no complaints. Sunderland players just did not turn up. Newcastle looked more like their old selves. Let's hope the bad spell is over, and we can kick on and start climbing the table again following today's win.

Newcastle United beat Sunderland in the FA Cup and advanced to the next round. Maybe this good result can be reflected in the league. They have lost their last 3 games in the league. One of these games was against Luton. They are going through a really bad period. Last year they finished among the top 4 teams in the league and raised everyone's hopes but this year they have not been able to show the same performance. In the coming weeks they will play Manchester City and then Aston Villa. They can continue to get bad results in this period.

I guess I disagree with you regarding Lukaku and the category he falls into. Since Lukaku's game isn't primarily based on pace, I think he could be a valuable striker until he has reached a higher age. His game isn't as burdensome physically in terms of pace as is the game of Mbappe for instance. If Mbappe loses speed, his game will deteriorate one day. Lukaku could still be a player that is well needed in certain periods of a game, depending on the situation and the circumstances.

But I was rather pointing out that it is time for Lukaku to settle with a club he gets along with and Roma seems to be that place. There is no point in taking another risk and ending up on the bench again. But I guess he will go wherever he is paid the most.

Lukaku is player who does not have good speed like Mbappe, Theo Walcott, Bale, and his playing style depends more on his physical strength in face to face fighting with defenders. With his body, he usually slowly responses to situations when a ball suddenly finds him and he miss those chances.

However if you put Lukaku into his favorite system and tactics, he becomes very dangerous. Like he succeeded in West Brom, Everton, Inter Milan and now AS Roma. He failed in Chelsea and Manchester United but in contrast, he succeeded at two other Premier League clubs so in my opinion, it is not true to say Premier League does not fit with him.

I see that Lukaku is more fitted to Serie A because matches there don't rely on speed too much. It covers weakness of Lukaku and he can use his physical strength to beat defenders in Serie A better than in Premier League.

I agree and Lukaku hasn't only been doing well recently for Roma, but he was also the best striker in the European Championship qualifiders, wasn't he? In that case I think he is still a very viable option for a lot of teams, but he wouldn't be the perfect fit for a team like Manchester City for example. It is just not his system. But now when Roma needs someone to keep the ball in the front of the pitch and then use his body to gain time and to bring himself into a great position, that's what he can do very well.

[topbitcoin]

Getting to the fourth position or even the third position should and will be Manchester united aim at this point because they know it's almost very obvious to the fact that they may not be able to win the trophy by the end of the season but will be able to finish amongst top found and again secure a spot at the UCL next season so they will be able to see if they can have a chance again at the champions league by next season. I'm still very much in support of a change of Coach for Manchester united because I think that will go a long way helping the team getting a better form.

With still quite a lot of matches remaining, this kind of target is still possible to do but indirectly if they expect something like this then they must be able to improve what is lacking in their performance at the beginning of the season until half of this season and of course there must be a change in attitude made by Ten Hag in order to make the situation in the dressing room a little calmer without tension with some players.

The situation for the Manchester United dressing room until now is still quite hot especially when the performance is not quite in line with expectations and Ten Hag's personal problems with some players still exist then forever this becomes a little complicated so of course there must be an improvement in this case then they can have a good target to pursue the top 4 although it is difficult because the point difference is now 9 points with Arsenal who are in 4th place. But if something like that is not done then forever they will not be able to catch up and the top 4 target is likely to be unobtainable because the problems they face internally are not over.

[hahay]

I’m not one to blame managers for the problems of a club but I’m not satisfied with Ten Hag’s performance in Manchester United especially in regards to player recruitment. A number of signings that have come into the team under Ten Hag’s administration have flopped and proven not worthy, his inability to utilize Ronaldo to the team’s full advantage is enough to convince anyone of his incompetence but most fans still blame Ronaldo for the Ten Hag’s failure. Soon other good players like Bruno, Casemiro, Rashford etc will also grow tired and opt for the exit door, maybe then it will be clear to the fans that Ronaldo wasn’t the problem.

I just don't want to associate Ronaldo with the failure of Manchester United because after all, before Ronaldo returned to play at Manchester United also the fact that Manchester United did not have good performance and management. So, thus of course we will not be able to only associate Ronaldo with the failure of Manchester United but one thing is certain, at least about Erik ten Hag himself.

After all, the players who were invited to leave and also the selected players that Erik ten Hag wanted have also so far had poor results. Therefore, at least the failure that occurred at Manchester United at this moment is at least the result of the management made by Erik ten Hag. Therefore, it seems appropriate for Manchester United to find a replacement for Erik ten Hag, because Erik ten Hag has failed.

[Chilwell]

Even now there are still several matches taking place. But I'm just waiting for the results of the Newcastle vs Sunderland match. Currently the score is still 0-0 and the match has entered the 32nd minute. I think Newcastle are really having problems in their attack. Because even though they have mastered this game from the start, in fact they haven't been able to score a single goal until now. Sunderland they really struggled to get out of pressure. And even they don't have much of a chance. Newcastle should be able to win this match easily. I hope there are at least 2 goals in this match. But it seems Newcastle will not be that productive. Because until now the score is still 0-0.

Despite their weakness I don't expect anything but victory with Newcastle united, I strongly believe that this win will continue because they have face a lot of lost, they really have to put their self together because of their next match against Manchester City, Newcastle united normally faces a lot of challenges when playing away games but for this they will be playing it at St. James' Park which I know Newcastle united will try their best to win the match, Newcastle united performance in home match were incredible because they played 10 matches, they won 8 matches out 10 matches they played and lost 2 matches.

Newcastle had a nightmare in the middle of the season. The injury crisis faced by them has really become an obstacle and this is what causes their performance to decline drastically. The victory over Sunderland means a lot for Newcastle. Indeed, this is not a Premier League match but at least it could boost their morale and it can be motivation to be better, but once again, they will face another tough test, where they have to play against Man City.

And head to head both Chelsea teams are superior to Fulham and Chelsea won three wins, one draw and also one defeat against Fulham. And I think Pochettino will plan and give his best in front of his supporters and will field his best squad to win this match, even though every Chelsea match is always in doubt, but for this match I think they can win it.

Of their last ten home games, Chelsea have lost four games and drawn another, meaning their record at home is not that good. But as for Fulham away, their results are even worse, so I think that Chelsea will not lose this match, but I also cannot say that Chelsea will be able to easily win this match. Teams from the middle of the standings will play, with poor defense, so the match will be equal.

Chelsea performance statistics this season cannot be completely trusted even when they play at Stamford Bridge. This means that there is an opportunity for Fulham to gain full points like they did last week against Arsenal. Pochettino must mentally prepare his squad to be able to beat Fulham in order to get closer to the Europa League zone.

I tend to think this match will end in a draw, because the Blues are still facing a storm of player injuries. No less than 10 players are injured, of course this affects their chances of securing full points, and it is quite surprising that Fulham also has the opportunity to do so.

Since taking charge of the Blues, Pochettino has still struggled with player injuries, he has never had a complete squad. Their chances are actually quite big to consistently appear in the EPL this season, because they don't have a match schedule in European competitions which adds pressure to them, unfortunately they failed to make good use of this.

The next two matches are a tough test for Newcastle. They have to face City and then Aston Villa. These two teams are very difficult for Newcastle to beat. I don't expect Newcastle to win. But I'm going to watch the game because I want to see how Newcastle have been doing lately. This year they performed very badly. They have lost 9 times from 20 matches. Look at last season where Necastle only lost 5 times from 38 matches in the league. What happened to Newcastle this season?

I fully agree with you, Manchester United's problem was not Ronaldo, but is still Erik Ten Haag and his tactical and managerial choices, crazy spending and poor results, practical example Antony bought from Ajax for the beauty of 95 million euro and has not yet scored any goals or assists. Manchester United would do well to think about changing their manager if they want to see better results

Newcastle had a nightmare in the middle of the season. The injury crisis faced by them has really become an obstacle and this is what causes their performance to decline drastically. The victory over Sunderland means a lot for Newcastle. Indeed, this is not a Premier League match but at least it could boost their morale and it can be motivation to be better, but once again, they will face another tough test, where they have to play against Man City.

The victory over Sunderland means a lot for the morale of Newcastle players following the tough match against Manchester City next weekend. This is Newcastle's first win in their last 5 matches in all competitions, but Sunderland is basically not a benchmark that Newcastle's form has returned.

Currently Manchester City has found its best form again after losing points against Aston Villa and being forced to draw against Crystal Palace. Manchester City also recently won the Club World Cup title against Fluminense, so player morale and motivation should be improving ahead of the away game against Newcastle. But before that, Manchester City must complete the FA Cup third round match against Huddersfield at the Etihad, a home win is mandatory for them.

[Pokapoka124]

Boehly isn't good at doing his work in my opinion. This team deserve a much better owner such as Abramovich. You know how Abramovich's times were. Chelsea were in much better condition than this.

Todd Boehly doesn't know so much about football, he is just signing players left, right and center, their transfer policy under Todd Boehly is somewhat flawed. Having said that, all the problems Chelsea has isn't the fault of the owner Todd, the players and manager are also culpable, quite a lot of these players were bought with a lot of money and their salaries are also pretty high; thus they ought to deliver more for the club than they are doing now. Chelsea are in a transition period, and the fans must understand that it will take sometime before they get back to their previous elite levels.

Nobody knew what to expect when Todd Boehly took over as CEO of the club. The former owner Roman Abramovich had won several trophies and made Chelsea FC a top club in the European football. Abramovich was very much interested in wining trophies and was a football lover. Making profits was not the goal, the goal was to make the club a championship contender every season. Abramovich knew how to run the business, he was quick to sack managers when they fail to get the job done, and his strategies proved productive. His successor Todd Boehly obviously has a lot to learn, I would advice that Boehly delegates the role to someone more experienced and competent enough to handle the sporting affairs in the club.

I don't think Ten Hag is the problem of Manchester united because his last season results showed that he did a great job to make the team ended up in 4th position and there is still hope for them to move from this current position to a higher position. But when the coach released Ronaldo from Manchester united but the team continue improve compare to this season but the major problem Manchester united is facing in this season is the goalkeeper because, since they released their formal goalkeeper to bring in Onana, Manchester united begin to look small to other teams to beat.

If you advise Manchester united to change their manager, which advise will you give to Chelsea about their manager because Chelsea manager spend more than Manchester united in signing new players in the summer and Manchester united are still ahead of Chelsea.

I know Ten Hag has come under mounting pressure in recent weeks from both fans and club owners  after a dismal first half of the season for the club, which has seen Manchester  United slump to 8th in the table and nine points adrift of the Champions League qualification places. Lack season was a bit bette and I was a bit hopeful for this season but he’s not shown an good sign this season. Too many poor results and lacklustre performance.

Honestly, I think even though Ten Hag brings in any one right now, I’m very sure that this Manchester United side will not still be on Manchester city’s level. The players are not the problem, the manager is clearly clueless. He lacks the tactical ability to get the team firing, no clear pattern, no style.
January may be light on fixtures but it shaping up to be a pivotal month for Ten Hag and could well determine whether he survives or becomes the latest manager on Manchester United's scrapheap.

Ten Hag should have more freedom to create consistency at this time because he is fully focused on the domestic league. Manchester United statistics are decreasing drastically and automatically their chances of finishing in the Champions League zone are becoming increasingly difficult. In this case, it is not only Ten Hag who is receiving negative attention from fans, everyone involved in the club is also receiving the same criticism.

It is difficult to describe the situation that has occurred within Manchester United this season, because their problems are very complex as time goes by. However, with the presence of Sir Jim Ratcliffe who now has full authority, I think there will be significant changes in the future at Old Trafford. If Ten Hag continues to suffer from inconsistency, it is likely that he will be kicked out in the near future.

Manchester City also recently won the Club World Cup title against Fluminense, so player morale and motivation should be improving ahead of the away game against Newcastle. But before that, Manchester City must complete the FA Cup third round match against Huddersfield at the Etihad, a home win is mandatory for them.

Moreover, if KDB will also be played, of course it will be a change that is really eagerly awaited after seeing the bad results some time ago which made Manchester City have to drop from the top of the standings, I think the EPL competition this season is really very tight so Manchester City really has to play more. good when facing Newcastle later, because the point difference must be maintained as tightly as possible and not lose points.

Newcastle also hasn't performed well recently. I think Manchester City shouldn't miss this opportunity to get full points and win the match later, I hope Guardiola plays KDB to make Manchester City's attack power better like last season and at least Haaland can performed well in scoring goals like last season and became a goal machine.

True, it is quite difficult to predict the outcome of this match because as you said and maybe most of us already know that now Chelsea is in an unstable performance, sometimes winning against stronger teams and sometimes losing when faced with medium or far below them, there is no stagnant situation in their performance now so obviously that makes it quite difficult for us to be able to speculate on the final result of who will win in this match. On the other hand, recently we saw that Fulham won three full points in the match against Arsenal with a score of 2 - 1, if we look at a glance, of course Arsenal are a team that can always compete at the top of the standings with Manchester City, but on the other hand I don't really believe that Fulham are in very good form because the fact is that the victory is because Arsenal are also now in a problem of depth of performance so that before that they also lost to West Ham.

I'm pretty sure that in this match Chelsea have a better chance, they will play at home and we can see in the previous few matches they managed to hold a draw with a team like Manchester City when playing at home and that's exactly what you said. So maybe I will be in the Chelsea camp again this time, but let's just see the results later.

But before that, Manchester City must complete the FA Cup third round match against Huddersfield at the Etihad, a home win is mandatory for them.

After last season they could show a good perfrmance that could lead them to the Champions League, this season they experienced a very deep setback so that they were thrown out of the fierce competition at the top of the table. 4 defeats from the last 5 matches they played are a very bad record and they are threatened with another defeat as well as their 4th consecutive defeat, because they will host Manchester City, who have just restored their morale after slipping in several matches.
Newcastle must be able to get points, if not win, at least a draw is a realistic target for them in a difficult match like this. I might bet on Manchester City seeing the chances of winning are on their side.

Chelsea have got one of the most unstable and inconsistent performance in recent times, trying to predict the possible out come of Chelsea game could end in several attempts to a wrong pick because they will loose when you expect they win  and draw in some other cases, they have won only but a few times

Chelsea will be really determined to winning fullham but then I'm their usual manner in recent times we can't be sure if they really can because even fullham isn't a team to be considered with weakness as they are within the average range and can be very resistive at their defense and Chelsea has a poor chemistry in their front line as they play in almost irregular form at the front line so they may really find it difficult penetrating the defense line of fullham but I'm sure they are the favourite for this game.

[EL MOHA]

Let's be Frank, Ten Hag is just too overhyped aside Jose Mourinho and Van Gaal I can't remember any top tier coach United has signed since Fergusen left, just overhyped coach who fails to meet team expectations though Mourinho was better than the other.
Which player did Ten Hag requested for that He didn't get or try to get for him?
Who requested for Onana, Mount, Rasmund and others.

Last season He had issues with Ronaldo, this season Sancho next season we don't know
Aside from injury crisis in which they also struggle to win even when they are fit Ten Hag has no excuse.

The fact is Ten Hag should know his place and let go of some pride so that he will be respected by team while the players needs to have their trophy winning mentality which they have lost for over a decade now, I don't really think Ten Hag can help in this area but Man United can give a shot and see how the perform next season.

I wouldn’t call him overhype but rather the expectations were just too much on him. Ten Hag guided Ajax to many league tittle and cup wins, not to talk of some special champions nights. You people will argue that Ajax is a small club or the Dutch league is a farmers league but look at how Ajax has turned out since Ten Hag left the club.

I will mention players for, he wanted Kim Min Jae and he never got that, he wanted De Jong and the club signed Mount instead. He did wanted Onana and Hojlund and to be fair both will get better with time.

Ten Hag had issues with Ronaldo and Sancho no problem is there any manager that doesn’t have problems with big players. The two coaches you mentioned above did had problems with numerous players and what did the club did then they trusted those players and they club is still in same position up till today. Ferguson once said that a player that thinks he is bigger than the manager doesn’t belong to the club

Newcastle are in a very weak position at the moment. They are not performing well. Won 1 and lost 4 of last 5 matches. Newcastle conceded four goals against Liverpool and three against Nottingham Forest. Newcastle's defense was very strong last season. But now Newcastle's defense is very weak. And the overall performance of the team is not good due to weak defense. Newcastle should first tighten up their defense and then try to stabilize their squad. Eddie Howe now needs to build confidence in his squad once again. Newcastle's players have the ability to improve. But they are not able.
