Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[len01]

I agree with you. Chelsea  are fully focused on the FA Cup  this season. Because the Chelsea  coach knows very well that  they have no chance of doing well in the Premier  League. And even if the  performance can stabilize a bit, this team has zero chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

After conceding a humiliating 4-2 defeat against Wolves in their last Premier League match, we  saw an excellent performance from Chelsea's players in the FA Cup match. It was unexpected for me. Chelsea players  performed well in this match. Chelsea's defense in particular was strong in this match. This is why the team was  able to win the match. If the bonding between the players is strong, we will see better performances from this team.

maybe this is a strategy for Pochettino to get at least a chance in another competition because in the FA Cup not many other clubs have interest and it is only natural that Aston Villa loses that match because Unai Emery team is more focused on maintaining its position in the standings to get a UCL ticket in the following season so that Aston Villa will not work too hard against Chelsea.
for me chelsea does not have a consistent performance and for me the defense that you say for me is not as strong as you say because chelsea was just lucky in the FA cup most clubs did not prioritize that match and chelsea easily beat Aston Villa.

but actually this will really endanger Chelsea position in the EPL because they are only trying to win the FA Cup but are not concerned with their position in the EPL which will make it increasingly difficult to get the best position in the EPL.
the defeat against Wolves was very embarrassing but however Pochettino was unable to do anything even though Chelsea is one of the rich teams but in terms of performance it was very embarrassing.

What I am worried about from Arsenal is always slipping at the end of the season until they can no longer compete with the title race then maybe this time the three different candidates choose a thin point difference so anything can change in the future.

I feel Man City and Liverpool are the most favorite in the title race this season, the difference in points will not be far however both clubs need points in every match it's just that when they meet again it's the most awaited by fans.

Arteta must learn from previous experiences and they must try to increase self -confidence as one of the clubs that has the potential to compete for the title. If there is no trust, we will see how this season will be repeated like the previous season. Arteta failed to adjust the remaining 10 matches so they came out of the race for the title last season and this became a concern for many people this season.

Liverpool and Manchester City led the standings and were a little more favored because they performed consistently even though some of the players he had injured. I also argue the same that the two teams have far greater opportunities than Arsenal and various reasons they are far more favored.

For champions league tickets it is still very difficult to guess, but Spurs also have a chance but I slightly ruled out Man United because the matches are always inconsistent.

Tottenham and Manchester United will chase each other Aston Villa and I think Aston Villa will not be able to survive in the top four standings until the end of the season. So that the chances of Tottenham and Manchester United are still quite open and it also depends on how the level of consistency of the two clubs in the face of the rest of the match.

I will not blame Mauricio Pochettino for what is happening to Chelsea now.
Chelsea management has recruited a lot of players who are not qualified but the prices are quite expensive and that is the cause of the poor performance of the Chelsea team at the moment.

In terms of quality, Chelsea is a little better than Crystal Palace, but what is happening in the current team is completely different and Chelsea is really so bad that nothing can be expected from them.
Honestly, I doubt Chelsea this season.

He is quite responsible for Chelsea's poor performance and in fact there are no bad players but rather coaches who are unable to utilize their skills.
If you don't believe it, look at how Jurgen Klopp makes players who don't have good skills become more dangerous in his squad.
Before facing Crystal Palace, I witnessed Chelsea's quite solid performance when they faced Aston Villa in the FA Cup and they managed to beat them with quite a landslide score.
Can this positive trend continue when they face Crystal Palace because perhaps the tension of the game in the Premier League is a little different from the FA Cup competition.

Comparing Pochettino with Jurgen will be very different in terms of quality, even though Pochettino still cannot match what Klopp has. I know this will be a disappointment for Chelsea fans who want their club to improve. But in this case Pochettino decision in choosing players was very bad and even seemed inappropriate. Even though Chelsea's budget is large enough to recruit expensive players. However, Pochettino did not take advantage of this opportunity well. Meanwhile, Klopp's financial support is very minimal because Liverpool's owner is too stingy, but because Klopp has self-confidence and is right in choosing players even in limited conditions, he is able to maximize results. This season I hope Chelsea will learn important lessons, especially for owners who don't understand football. Todd Boehly also needs to be blamed for Chelsea poor performance.

[Velvet78]

It's not only theory but realistically, manchester city was able performing better than before. It is still having a chance to take the first position again soon. The match against liverpool was still far away and i think that's not relevant to talk about that caused by we may be seeing some injured players to come back soon.
Liverpool was not in a good shape and i think this is the main problem faced by the club. The lost against arsenal seems a common thing if we are aware if liverpool played the game without salah and nunez. THe situation might be different if there were those players in the squad.
Im not blaming liverpool now and im being so generous caused by the situation in the liverpool can't be avoided. It seems like that everything will be going even tougher than before.

Salah should really be back for Liverpool's aid as soon as possible.    His absence is affecting the team consistency level directly. Maybe they got some good results without him as well but when it comes to playing one of the teams at top of the standings I can't say they were good enough. Arsenal made them huge difficulties for real.

When it comes to Nunez it is really hard to understand him. Sometimes he is really impressive with good level of finishing. But mostly he is a disappointment for Liverpool. He is wasting insane amount of goal opportunities unlike his past performances at Benfica.

[Rampagoe004]

You are right, in fact we doubt Manchester City can compete for the champion candidates this season but  Manchester City can prove its ability after playing with a complete squad and this week Manchester City will be at the top of the standings after defeating Everton on February 18. If Manchester City keep playing with the current squad then they can win again this season, the only main competitor for Manchester City is Liverpool while Liverpool lost in the last fight, Manchester City can take advantage of it.

I think City will be champions this season. The deciding match will be against Liverpool in March. I bet City will win the EPL competition this season. Their performance is very good and we can see that with the recovery of Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, City will be very strong. I hope City will return with a complete squad in the match against Everton later.

In the FA Cup and in the EFL Cup we can always see Chelsea playing very well and full of confidence. But somehow the Chelsea players seem to have lost confidence when playing in the Premier League. But in this case, I personally can't just blame one party. Because I think everyone has their own role and everyone must be responsible. Coaches are tasked with providing good strategies and coaching for players. And players must be able to carry out strategies on the field well and must minimize mistakes when playing on the field. And Chelsea actually has potential young players. Now it's just a matter of how Pochettino can make these players more confident when playing in the Premier League. Because the pressure is heavier in the Premier League, perhaps this means these players cannot play at their maximum performance.

[Strongkored]

But by focusing more on competitions other than the EPL, this action is indeed the most appropriate for Chelsea. Because if Chelsea focuses on all competitions, I think Chelsea will have bad results in all these competitions. And regarding the final results that Chelsea can get, in my opinion, Chelsea could probably compete until the final match (English league cup/FA cup). But to win the competition, I feel the chances are very small for Chelsea

For the League Cup, because Chelsea has reached the final, the opportunity to become champions is still there even though they have to face the team that is more favored to win, namely Liverpool and the match is at the end of February they will certainly be very motivated because if they get a championship title it will really lift the mentality of their players which currently doesn't look stable enough.
Meanwhile, for the FA Cup, they still have quite a long way to go so it could be said that the chances are slim or unclear because it could be that in the next round, they will be eliminated even though they have managed to win a landslide win against Aston Villa, which is very encouraging because previously in the English Premier League match they actually lost badly to Wolves at Stamford Bridge but they can recover quickly to maintain their chances in the FA Cup.

[Oluwa-btc]

the competition for the english league EPL champions is still exciting. the championship candidates are not only manchester city. the current leader of the standings liverpool also has a great chance of winning the english league. besides manchester city and liverpool. arsenal still has a chance to win because the point difference with liverpool is also small. arsenal can also make a surprise to win the english league.

These three clubs still have a good chance of winning the English League title, but if you look at the opportunities available, Manchester City is still quite the favorite and vice versa with Liverpool as one of the favorite candidates. Arsenal are indeed paving the way again to compete with Liverpool and Manchester City, but will they be able to survive and it is feared that it will happen like last season where they wasted opportunities in several remaining matches.

What is no less interesting is the fight for tickets to the Champions League because now there is Aston Villa on the competition list. While Tottenham and Manchester United will compete to catch Aston Villa and whether or not they qualify for the Champions League really depends on Aston Villa's performance in the remaining matches because if they get stronger in If you rank fourth then Tottenham and Manchester United will have no chance

What I am worried about from Arsenal is always slipping at the end of the season until they can no longer compete with the title race then maybe this time the three different candidates choose a thin point difference so anything can change in the future.

I feel Man City and Liverpool are the most favorite in the title race this season, the difference in points will not be far however both clubs need points in every match it's just that when they meet again it's the most awaited by fans.

For champions league tickets it is still very difficult to guess, but Spurs also have a chance but I slightly ruled out Man United because the matches are always inconsistent.

I can boast about the defenders of Arsenal eve if they make errors, they now have Tomiyasu and also Jurim Timber back from the Asian Cup Competition and also the later returning back from a long Injury. Having them back is a huge plus as they'll be used both for the Champions League Competition and the Premier League Competition.

I don't know about them attackers but they failed to add one more support in midfied, since player's like Elleny and Thomas Partey has refused to be consistent with the club.
Nothing much to say about Manchester United, they're inconsistent. Tottenham Hotspur are progressing fine, they have almost every player back now and fit for selections.

[OcTradism]

For the League Cup, because Chelsea has reached the final, the opportunity to become champions is still there even though they have to face the team that is more favored to win, namely Liverpool and the match is at the end of February they will certainly be very motivated because if they get a championship title it will really lift the mentality of their players which currently doesn't look stable enough.

If they can win a League Cup, at least it will be a title and will be good for them. It will not be enough to end their crisis but it can help them to gain more confidence and potentially can help them to improve more in future.

Only one match to lift League Cup but with the opponent is Liverpool, Chelsea will have a very high mountain to climb. With only one final match, they can beat Liverpool but it is actually a huge task for Chelsea.

Meanwhile, for the FA Cup, they still have quite a long way to go so it could be said that the chances are slim or unclear because it could be that in the next round, they will be eliminated even though they have managed to win a landslide win against Aston Villa, which is very encouraging because previously in the English Premier League match they actually lost badly to Wolves at Stamford Bridge but they can recover quickly to maintain their chances in the FA Cup.

FA Cup is far for Chelsea to reach to the final match and it is not important for them too. They must focus on Premier League and try to climb up as highest as possible. Possibly if they can finish this season within top six, it will be a confident foundation for them in a next season when they will aim at top four. Having a position in top four and being eligible for Champions League is like a mandatory condition for a big club.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Chelsea won Aston Villa that's better than them in the EPL 1-3 in the FA Cup and the fans seem to be happy with the same saying "we're back to winning ways", always back but when it comes to the EPL they start with a positive energy but at the end they'll lose the game.
To the Chelsea fans and football lovers who cares to take note, I think they should accept the difference between expectation and reality, the fans are always expecting something big each time the Blues come out to play. Chelsea of last 10-20yrs ago is not the same as of now, they're completely different from what we're seeing, this current Chelsea players are full of young ones that doesn't have experience and the fans expect more from them which to me they (the fans) will get something different as in disappointment.
The fans should just accept the reality that Chelsea is now a team that needs to be rebuild, they should give the players both the coach time to bring back the team to the top level standard and they should forget about past glory because that's what they have been living with each time they Blues play, with that alone I believe they can bounce back.

I don’t see any chance for Chelsea to rise significantly above the middle of the table in the Premier League and I also think that they no have a chance of reaching the FA Cup final, this will be another disastrous season in which it would be worth thinking about the next season, but for this they need to strengthen the team, and I'm not sure that this will happen now. Pochetinno's best times were at Tottenham, after which he was unable to achieve anything significant.

You know the dumbest part about all this? They can't even sack Poch, because they are worried that doing so might make them breach FFP rules because of the severance pay they have to give him.

This Chelsea are sacking managers at the same rate they used to under Abramovich. But I didn't see them have to pay enormous amounts of severance, because the old Chelsea wouldn't even bother hiring bad-suited managers like Potter in the first place.

You could say this decade is the heyday of Manchester City in the Premier League, they were able to prove with their promising premainan. They won consecutive championships and this season their chances are very big to be able to continue their record of winning the Premier League.
Manchester City have a very strong foundation, that's the key. So when they slipped then quickly they can also rise. One of them is this season, initially they also slipped several times, but they were slowly able to find their true form so that it made them able to return to the competition for the title.

Sometimes I begin to wonder if it's really pochetino that's really in charge of deciding the players he wants to have in his Chelsea squad or it is owner who just go about and buy whatever players he see that's available in the market. The kind of players that were recruited into the Chelsea team are majorly players who haven't made names and this is affecting them right now.

I think Pocchetino's task is not to fall below 8th place in the table, and anything above that can already be recognized as a success for Chelsea.

It is clear that in the EPL Chelsea is not waiting for anything good, so they can just focus on the cup and it is in the cup Chelsea plays more confident. Maybe because the players do not feel such pressure for the result as in the EPL, but in the cup Chelsea plays much better and more interesting, scoring 3-4 goals and different and from standards and from the game.

There is no sense to fire Pocchetino before the end of the season, the team should spend at least a year without personnel changes and see what happens. 

[HajiBagi]

It seems chelsea was focusing on the carabao cup and fa cup. The team may be knowing that if they have no chance anymore in the EPL caused by the bad performance from chelsea. Well, that's amazing this one is winning with huge margin against aston villa. It was amazing performance from chelsea.
I was feeling chelsea might be losing in the game against aston villa but i was wrong. Chelsea was able showing more consistency in this game started from playing defensively combined with attacking at the same time.

Aston Villa is no longer a black horse in this season, their performance declines, it's why they lost their position from 2nd to 4th. If Aston Villa can lose against Chelsea, I believe they will lose against Manchester United too, Manchester United already improve a lot.

What I'm amaze is the third goal by Enzo, it might be the best free kick in this season.

Since we all know how good Aston Villa is, I must admit that I didn't think Chelsea would play as well as they did yesterday. I was expecting Chelsea to make a mistake and let Aston Villa win, but Chelsea surprised me by defeating Aston Villa with three goals. The last time Chelsea played, Liverpool defeated Chelsea by a wide margin, making Chelsea appear like a small team. However, yesterday's game also demonstrated that if Chelsea always takes their matches seriously, they will be able to defeat many teams and be in a good position.

The goal that Enzo scored is the best of the month; the free kick was well-played; in fact, since he plays for Chelsea, he hasn't scored goals like that before. The goalie for Aston Villa is good, but the way Chelsea scored those goals yesterday will be like a nightmare for him. The only issue I have with Chelsea is that, on occasion, they play like a team in good condition, and if they play sometimes  even the fans will get upset.

And Chelsea actually has potential young players. Now it's just a matter of how Pochettino can make these players more confident when playing in the Premier League. Because the pressure is heavier in the Premier League, perhaps this means these players cannot play at their maximum performance.

Chelsea's players loss their confidence on Premier League matches and difficult for winning every week matches, losses from unpredictable teams such as last week have loss against Wolves. Currently in EFL Cup not seems special achievement by Chelsea because most teams eliminated is not top team from second round until semifinal round. Chelsea will face Liverpool in the EFL Cup final but not sure they are on the top confidence for defeating Liverpool and become the winner.

Some time has youth players more dominance in the starting eleven can't help more, they less winning mentality and here need experience players could be motivate for young player how to get confidence performance exactly on the loss position match. Chelsea opportunity with Premier League have been over with many matches left, get mission impossible for raising top fourth standings position and I think in this season reach the UEFA Europe League spot place is good achievement by Chelsea.

In terms of quality, Chelsea is a little better than Crystal Palace, but what is happening in the current team is completely different and Chelsea is really so bad that nothing can be expected from them.
Honestly, I doubt Chelsea this season.

Pochettino deserves all the blame, in my opinion, for their poor Premier League performance. Despite the fact that they signed the youngest players, they are still performing worse than they did the previous year. Chelsea has been moving up and down the league table since the previous season, so I don't even understand the way they played this season. At times, they won, and at other times, they lost. The way Chelsea performed against Aston Villa was really amazing, if they play that well in their next games, I think they can even qualify for the Europa League, at least, because I don't think they can beat the clubs that are presently in the top four.

Chelsea is playing Crystal Palace, since Chelsea won their first meeting, I think Chelsea is in better shape than Crystal Palace. I still think Chelsea will win their second game. Though Chelsea can still lose game that's part of their style this season. I have serious doubts about them. Now is a perfect time for Pochettino to get back to his winning ways.

At the moment when we talk about Chelsea actually blaming coaches or players is not the right choice and indeed things like this have to be realized by everyone including Chelsea officials because after all for now what they need is encouragement to continue to be able to improve themselves so that the club is even better.
This is only the first season for Poche and with everything new including for players and the overhaul that was carried out we actually still have to wait because not all new things can immediately clash in terms of cooperation and chemistry so they still have to continue to try to be patient because everything of course must have a process and what Poche is doing now is making progress so that their future is better.
Todd must realize that if this season Chelsea is only going slowly and he should not intervene as long as the performance is not worse than last season then I think it is still very good because the progress is going well later.

[rendravolt]

Still can't believe Aston Villa were so humiliated by Chelsea in the FA Cup competition last night and it was even a home defeat for Aston Villa with a score of 1-3. Aston Villa performed so badly and they couldn't live up to the public's expectations when facing an inconsistent team like Chelsea. They had lost and were only able to get one goal back in the last minute through Diaby.

On the other hand, Pochettino has proven his capacity after getting support from Chelsea owners and this victory is very special after their poor performance in the EPL. The goal scored by Enzo Fernandez was also outstanding and it was a very good free kick curled over the edge from Emi Martinez. Next, Chelsea will play Leeds in the quarterfinals and that will be further proof that they are still on track to win at least one title this season.
