Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Furious 7]

Nobody will underestimate Chelsea this season after what they went through against the Premier League's big four teams. Chelsea beat Tottenham, drew against Manchester City and Arsenal even though I know Liverpool is a difficult team to beat.

Liverpool won the home match against Chelsea with a promising score at the beginning of February and then Liverpool will be favorites to win the EFL Cup final tomorrow. Liverpool are in trouble mainly because several of their main players are injured, but their recent performance against Luton Town looks like it will keep the players well motivated to win the title. Klopp and his players must do their best to end this season with a number of titles including the EFL Cup, Premier League and also the Europa League, of course because this is his last season with Liverpool.

Honestly in this case I still underestimate them as a big club with the conditions they are living in now.
Indeed, we know that Chelsea managed to hold Manchester City to a draw and enter the EFL final but seeing from what is happening now their performance is still very unpredictable and I don't think it's wrong to underestimate Chelsea to this day because it happens due to their performance that still cannot be consistent.

They managed to draw against Manchester City but they can lose quite heavily to Liverpool and Wolves which indicates that they are still very difficult to make a breakthrough this season even though their possession is quite good but sometimes it is not very useful if their finishing is poor and they have difficulty scoring goals.

I will be very happy to see Klopp lift this trophy before he leaves Liverpool at the end of the season. I don't know how Chelsea managed to get to this final, but I think they have had enough and the time has come for them to realize that the party is over. Liverpool defeated Chelsea the last time they met in the premier league 4:1 and it will please me to see a similar result in the final. Liverpool deserves the cup more than Chelsea and I am banking on Liverpool to get the cup. I know Liverpool are nursing injuries at the moment but I know Klopp will find a way to fix things.

It will be the most beautiful farewell gift if it can happen but in the end if they really want this then they have to work harder now so that the farewell between Klopp and Liverpool goes well and there are no regrets in it . The current situation they have to prepare for their final and trophies this season because it is quite an important thing and must be done even though their opponents are Chelsea who are definitely eyeing this trophy to restore their lost face due to poor performance in recent seasons .

On the other hand EPL competition is also still very heavy if it is indeed the target of the trophy they want even though there is another advantage where in the Europa League they are favorites but that is not a guarantee in the end. We will only see if the end of the season for Klopp will end well or end tragically .

First misconception that people have is that Ten Hag is actually keeping Martial on the bench but that is not the case because Martial is rather injured and not just on the bench. Even after Hojlund was signed, Martial was still trusted by Ten Hag and he played more than Hojlund not until they fell out and he eventually got injured which provided Hojlund with this great opportunity.

Hojlund had been at a wrong side of luck in the first games of premier league even though he was scoring in the champions league but right after he started scoring it came game in game. He wasn’t missing chances but rather the chances weren’t coming is way and his team mate weren’t providing too.

As for Martial leaving it is chin decision, In fact martial wanted the contract renewal even if it will be at a detriment of cutting down his wages but Manchester United do not want as the new owner are seriously doing a squad overhaul and deemed martial surplus to requirements at the moment

Whenever Antonio Martial is fit, he is the best option for Manchester United leading the attack, I can recall vividly the effects and presence he had on the pitch during the game against Eveton, that was during the first half of the Premier League season. Erik Ten Hag has always trusted him but, injuries has always been a drawback. I know Jose Mourinho can wait to see him leave Manchester United lol.

Rashford and Bruno Fernandez has created less chances for him ( Rasmus Hojlund )and tue goals he scored during the Champions League Competition are all goals scored one way or the other by himself without the assistance of these players mentioned.

No! Too much of that injury, Manchester United cannot rely on such a player if they're making plans to win the Premier League or whatever Competition. Antonio Martial has no other option but to leave.

Anthony Martial's success story in the Premier League with Manchester United may have to end with him leaving for another team. His contract expires at June 30, 2024 and this may be his last season with Manchester United. Anthony Martial only has 13 appearances this season with Manchester United, he has 1 goal and 1 assist in the Champions League in 4 appearances.

His form was hampered by injury and he had to fight for his place. The days are getting more difficult for Martial considering that Ten Hag is starting to get along with Rasmus Højlund who has scored 7 goals in 20 appearances in the Premier League and 5 goals in 6 Champions League appearances. Rasmus Højlund is starting to get on the scene and he will grow even more if everyone supports him.

Chelsea always perform well against higher teams but I believe they will not be consistent in a row but this time in the EFL final they have motivation because this title is the only one that can be won and they can force Liverpool to lose but my own hunch is unlikely.

It has totally became obvious that no matter how poor in terms of performance Chelsea is but when it comes to the higher teams they suddenly improve there performance and it has happen to them more than twice this season, because at first it was Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur and they manage to beat Tottenham Hotspur after all the performance Tottenham Hotspur had during the early time of the season and after then they meet Manchester City twice and the outcome was exactly the same so perhaps with this record it is actually certain that big clubs shouldn't underestimate Chelsea.

Chelsea have become a nightmare for Manchester City because they’ve not been able to win them throughout this season despite beating some big teams in the league to be at the position they are now. I remembered when Chelsea drew to Manchester City in the first half of the league, we thought Chelsea was back in form and by now they should be fighting for the top spot together with Liverpool and Manchester City but my assumption went wrong because Chelsea have really disappointed us and made it clear that they’re not a team to be dependent on.

This is a new season and almost like a new start for them after their poor season last year. Even after signing a new coach, their performance did not improve but if they can finish above the tenth position on the table, it will be better than that of last season. Till date, the problem of Chelsea cannot be fathomed by me, they look like they have everything they need from the players to the manager and we don’t see the result of all this that the management has done to make the club better. Hopefully something is done and Chelsea be back to their winning ways.

Chelsea didn't always play well against each top team in EPL. Chelsea was defeated by Liverpool in matchday 22, Chelsea was beaten by Man United in matchday 15, and they also ever got the defeats against Newcastle and Aston Villa. This team only played well against Man City and Arsenal. So, I think we can't claim that Chelsea always played well against big teams of EPL.

It is true that the final EFL is a special match, Chelsea must have a big motivation winning the match. However, I'm not sure Chelsea can win the match if Liverpool plays with their best lineup. Sure, Liverpool should be the favorite to win the match because they have a better quality and mentality of the players.

Chelsea match statistics this season is very uncertain, sometimes they play well and sometimes they lose to average clubs. For the Carabao Cup final, I think Liverpool deserve to be favorites to win the trophy even though Jurgen Klopp can't field his best squad due to injury. Pochettino is actually also facing a storm of injuries, the difference is that Liverpool is more consistent than Chelsea when faced with a situation like the current one. Chelsea motivation to win a trophy is very big, because they don't want to end the season empty handed without any trophy, while Liverpool are currently favorites in the Premier League and Europa League.

Liverpool and Chelsea have officially announced on the club official website that several of their players have suffered injuries, and it is possible that they will miss the Carabao Cup final. Jurgen Klopp faces a bigger challenge because he has a busy match schedule in four different competitions, the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Jurgen Klopp will of course try his best to balance the team in every competition, but Chelsea can take advantage of the fatigue factor of Liverpool players who have a busy match schedule.

It has totally became obvious that no matter how poor in terms of performance Chelsea is but when it comes to the higher teams they suddenly improve there performance and it has happen to them more than twice this season

That’s just the reason why any club playing against Chelsea should be scared of them. Chelsea is just full of surprises, they are unpredictable. Chelsea do end up performing well in matches, which we do think they are not going to perform well. I am sure any strong club playing against Chelsea will be playing with fear, and they will have to be very careful because Chelsea is full of surprises. Seriously, no one expected a brilliant performance from Chelsea in their last match against Manchester City. The result of the match came as a surprise to everyone. Manchester City did everything to win the match, but they couldn’t, they could only get 1 point from the match.

If injury had not been the problem of Liverpool I would still have picture Chelsea to win, it's because I believe they are stronger team in other competition they're played this season aside the Premier League. Also, the Chelsea new manager would also like that he is able to win at least a trophy because Chelsea is in need of a show of improvements and determination as a club.

 

Rashford and Bruno Fernandez has created less chances for him ( Rasmus Hojlund )and tue goals he scored during the Champions League Competition are all goals scored one way or the other by himself without the assistance of these players mentioned.

Rashford Who I have seen playing sometimes can become serious with the ball and want to score so it's not expected that he always pass the ball, Bruno may not have trusted his finishing yet then, and maybe have too many options to pass the ball to, maybe that is a reason why Bruno and Rashford have not created chances for Rasmus Hojlund.

Improvement is gradually experience stage by stage, the best comes in with pulled evidence. Chelsea have been humiliated this season by mediocre teams but when it comes to elite formidable teams, they stood their ground and shared draw points with them except for few, where they experince defeats. Perhapes Mauricio Pochettino have worked on his team and we'll be seeing them in the finals on Sunday when they will face Liverpool at wembley stadium. This will be one of the big game this season, just hope Mauricio Pochettino wins and breaks the deadlock of winning titles for the Blues.

Arsenal were still good against Porto it's just that they did not win the game, their performance was not enough. It is not something new, sometimes the better teams in a game is not always the team that wins the game. Arsenal just have to not let that defeat affect the other games they have by spoiling their confidence.
Manchester United striker Hojlund who was already making news and building confidence in the league will have to rest some weeks like two or three. It is a blow for Manchester United because they are on the charge to secure champions league qualification, for a player like Hojlund who has scored in consecutive games recently, having him not fit is a hope killer.

Arsenal were very good in the match, they played very well but they lack experienced players and as a result of that Porto used their Champions League experience and home advantage to win the game because Arsenal were so relaxed at the end. This is not the end of it because I am very sure that Arsenal can win them in the second leg.

Chelsea has postponed Manchester City's fight for the top spot until another time after they failed to beat Chelsea in their most recent match. It was a difficult match for them, and I expected them to win easily due to Chelsea's declining performance. To our surprise, Chelsea scored the first goal, and it wasn't until the second half, as the game was coming to a close, that Manchester City was able to level the score. Chelsea should not be viewed as a weak team, but rather as one to be feared because they catch teams off guard when they least expect it. I hope they can continue their good performance until the end of the season, they would finish in a better position.

Chelsea's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday isn't one of the big games this season rather will be their biggest game so far as far as the season is concerned and that's why I don't expect them to deliver anything less their best in that game on Sunday. Chelsea like I said earlier haven't been consistent this season but still have managed to deliver good performances when they're facing any of the traditional big teams in England and on Sunday, I expect them to put out their best and go for the win

Liverpool manager will be leaving the club at the end of the current season and is trying to win as many trophies as possible for the club as his farewell gifts to the club that's accommodated him for over seven years now and that's why I also expect Liverpool to put out their best in that game. It'll surely be a difficult game for the both clubs if you ask me but if I'm to predict or bet on the game, I'll simply co for a Liverpool win in that game.

Yes, that's what Chelsea have been doing since the start of the season sometimes they surprise us with unexpected results but when facing strong teams in the Premier League they can be relied on. This is not the first time Chelsea has played impressively against Manchester City because last November the two teams also drew with a score of 4-4 so it can be said that Chelsea already understands how Manchester City plays. Do you think Chelsea will be able to get a ticket to the conference league ?

Rashford Who I have seen playing sometimes can become serious with the ball and want to score so it's not expected that he always pass the ball, Bruno may not have trusted his finishing yet then, and maybe have too many options to pass the ball to, maybe that is a reason why Bruno and Rashford have not created chances for Rasmus Hojlund.

Pep Guardiola would definitely fume at that if he does that in his team. Marcus Rashford is oke selfish player and it affects his game this season. This is Fvcknn football and it's not always about you Marcus! Can he Fvcknn pass the Fcknn ball already? I hate whenever he does that to be very honest.

Do you know that passing the ball makes him a better player? But he will never do that. Take a look at the goals he's scored this season, ain't that shamming?
Rasmus Hojlund now has more goals in combined than whatever he has this season. He should be creative ams not just that, he is a winger try to pass the ball for the number nine.

I'm sick and tired of talking about Marcus Rashford, he should be sold out once again. Bruno Fernandez I will not doubt, he has created good chances and flops like Marcus Rashford can never be ballsy enough to hey what they want. Bullshit!

Exactly. Chelsea makes Man City fails to return to the 1st place. Man City only needs 3 more points to return to the top of standings. Unfortunately, Chelsea always becomes the obstacle of Man City to get full points. I'm not surprised to see Man City failed to win the match, they already got a draw in the first meeting of this season (matchday 12). At that time, the match was held in Chelsea home, Man City and Chelsea shared points because they got a draw on the match (Chelsea 4 vs 4 Man City).

You're right. Man City shouldn't think Chelsea is a weak team. Chelsea still has a good squad although they couldn't perform consistently during this season. I think Chelsea can be a strong team again if they can hire the right coach for the next season. Man City must be always very careful if they have the matches against Chelsea in the future. Chelsea knows well how to stop the tactics of Man City.

Playing at emirate stadium will be boosting the mentality from arsenal. The only scary result if arsenal will get draw against porto. Im sure that if porto will be trynig so hard to keep the momentum. This is making the situation even better than before. Im feeling so damn good with the performance from arsenal in EPL.
I have no problem with it but the result in UCL was quite disappointed me caused by it was losing against porto by conceded a goal at the end of game. Arsenal is still having the biggest chance to win the second leg. Porto needs to prevent arsenal to score more than two goals.
From my perspective, it is crucial for Arsenal to improve their performance in comparison to the previous season. things are going even harder for this club after it was not able getting draw in the first leg. It must noted that if arsenal must able to perform evne better compared to the last season.
Porto needs to play defensively in preventing arsenal to get into the next round. Porto will be doing it very hard. I hope that everything is going fine this time. The level of ambition Arteta possesses this season is remarkable, as the club is going above and beyond to secure victory in the competition and raise the bar even higher.
The club needs also to put EPL as its main concern as well caused by arsenal was bottling this trophy last season.

Jurgen Klopp will of course try his best to balance the team in every competition, but Chelsea can take advantage of the fatigue factor of Liverpool players who have a busy match schedule.

Chelsea's performance this season has not been decisive and it could be said that it is not very consistent. It is true as you said that Chelsea sometimes play well and are surprising when facing big clubs but tend to lose when facing average clubs so it is difficult to predict the results that will occur Chelsea get in every match they face. Liverpool deserve to be favorites in the league cup final because Liverpool's performance is more promising than Chelsea, but Chelsea also won't let them lose at home and Pochettino won't let his club not win any trophies this season.

Both of them are experiencing a storm of injuries and it is up to the coach to play out his strategy to build the club and rotate players. Jurgen Kloop is smarter at rotating players, therefore currently Liverpool is still quite consistent in winning in contrast to Chelsea who are erratic.
With the many schedules facing Liverpool, it is quite difficult for the players because they may lose a lot of energy, but I hope kloop maximize the performance of the players and provide convincing motivation, the most important thing is the main competition and also the European League, the other things Liverpool can adjust to.

The reason why some people are saying that Arsenal is not part of the Premier League title race is because of what Arsenal did last season by allowing Manchester City to overtake them and win the Premier League title. But they forget that if Liverpool draws or loses any match, Manchester City or Arsenal will lead the Premier League table.

Arsenal have been performing well, but I hope what happened to Arsenal last season won’t repeat itself this season. That’s just what everyone is scared of. That’s why most people don’t really have confidence in Arsenal's ability to win the league, even though they are performing well currently. Everyone thought Arsenal was going to win the Premier League last season until they started performing poorly, and Manchester City took over the first position from them.
 
But we are in another season, and we shouldn’t use Arsenal's performance last season to conclude they won’t be winning the Premier League this season. Actually, if I am ranking the clubs that I think will win the Premier League this season, then I will be ranking Liverpool and Manchester City ahead of Arsenal, but Arsenal can still surprise us.

Arsenal has been amazing this season, and that is one of the reasons I see them as Premier League title contenders. I know Arsenal is not worth trusting because they can disappoint at times, but I believe if Arsenal should top the Premier League table now, they might win the league title because they have gained experience and will not want to repeat what happened to them in the Premier League last season.

More precisely recently not this season because some time ago Arsenal was out of the top 4 and now they have managed to take a position in the top 3 it was because of their stable performance recently, but if you're talking about a title race I'm not sure because I think Liverpool and Manchester City are more worthy. Next month Arsenal will face many challenges and strong opponents so we will see whether Arsenal is able to maintain its consistency or they will repeat the same mistakes as last season.

[rendravolt]

Aston Villa will host Nottingham today and this will also be a proving ground for Unai Emery's squad to continue its winning trend. Aston Villa experienced inconsistency which made them fail to compete for the EPL title this season, but that is normal considering that they are not a regular team in this route. Whatever they have to do in the next match so they can gain 3 points again and at least maintain their top 4 position.

On the other hand, Nottingham cannot be underestimated even though they are a bottom team, but the victory over West Ham last week has made them regain their confidence and they will definitely try to do the same in this away match. I think the two teams can be said to be quite evenly matched because the statistics for the previous few matches are almost not much different and looking at the ratio of the two teams who can always score goals, betting on BTTS (yes) is very feasible for a match like this.
