Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[swogerino]

Manchester City still needs Haaland if they really want to make it far in this league and shouldn’t just depend on Foden alone since he can also be utilized in the front to score more goals for the team.

Of course Manchester City still needs Haaland on the club because since he joined Manchester City it has been from one success to another, so the way I'm even looking at it Pep Guardiola will like to extend his contract when it elapse because right now Manchester City cannot afford to lose Haaland because he is one of there key striker and also very good in scoring, so a player with that scoring ability is mostly valued on every team, Foden is also a very talented player that has been helping Manchester City a lot and his scoring record this season is very impressive so they need to gather all their strength to there upcoming matches because is gonna be very tough.

If they lose Haaland I don't think it will impact them that badly now that they have not been really consistent lately.They can still have a better score rate as anyone can be a striker based on the type of game play Pep Guardiola has.They need to be more precise and not waste many opportunities in front of goal as they seem to not be as precise as they used to,so this is their real problem and not a missing Haaland for the remaining part of the season.

Who says that Manchester city don't needs Erling halaand? As Erling halaand is right now, he is a major plus to any team he  plays in right now because of the high numbers of goals he brings to the team, though Manchester city are actually good, but the absence of haaland will definitely be felt if he is not on the pitch, unlike folden that wouldn't be felt that much if he is absence.

Another person that brings out the best of Erling halaand in this Manchester city side is kelvin de bruyne, when both players are on the pitchnthe chemistry between them both are too class, and things automatically becomes very difficult for the opposition defenders when they are at their very best.

If they don't need Haaland, they did not buy him two seasons ago.

They played many seasons without a traditional striker and finally they decided to have one, bought Haaland from Dortmund with an expensive transfer cost. The last season shows that they were right with that decision. The striker scored many goals for them and they won three titles in a past season.

In this season, Haaland has more issues with his body and has less and worse contributions for them but worse here is compare to his performance last season. His performance is still good if comparing to other strikers so it's not big problem when he has a little bit decreasing performances. He will come back and be a dangerous striker again.

Halaand's contract is still far from completed. Im willing to tell you something. Manchester City totally aware if Haaland still has a release clause that can still be bought by another club caused by some clubs can afford to buy up to 200 millions for him. Manchester City consider Haaland as one of the most important players of this era. I remember Haaland saying in the past that he wants to play in all competitions.
Haaland is still very young as a footballer, and he can indeed he to continue to push his performance in city. Pep Guardiola is also considering him as the one important player in the squad as well as Kevin De Bruyne. Guardiola has also ordered de Bruyne to retire from Manchester City. It demonstrates that the club is willing to keep all of its top performers.

Manchester City must always strive to defend their best players in order to compete in a very competitive league like english premier league. Manchester City will suffer greatly if key players are absent.
The club has performed even better since Haaland joined from Dortmund. Manchester City intends to extend his contract while also removing the release clause.

It appears that city is unwilling to let its best players leave. I recall that some clubs, including Madrid, were rumored to buy his release clause.

Manchester City has a squad that is fairly evenly distributed across all lines so this team does not depend on just a few players to maintain its performance, but it cannot be denied that Haaland is able to make a much bigger contribution with his quality so the team will lose a little on the front lines if Haaland is absent. That cannot be denied because we have seen Haaland's contribution and also his quality.

Pep Guardiola prefers to start either Foden or Haaland alone in lower-level matches, keeping Kelvin Bruyne off the field for a bigger match. Let the other team players of Manchester City handle the match for the win, he will only come in to play when the match appears to be tough for them to win.

Haaland indeed is a gem of premier league. Missing Halland would be a huge blow to Manchester City. Even though they have a good team without Halland, they won't be able to sustain the current position on the league without Halland. It's not that they are going to relegate but Halland is a goal machine and stats speaks it for him.
Earling Haaland is the highest goal scorer in the premier league till date in this season as well in the last season. For current season Haaland's goal are 29% of the total goals for the team. On comparison, the highest goal scorer of Liverpool Salah has 23% and highest goal scorer of Arsenal Saka has 19%. That makes Manchester City most dependent on a single player among the top 3.

I am also optimistic about their chances for the Champions League as they have done good work and also having good performance throughout season but Tottenham which is also one of the best clubs in England done good job, and they will give their best for the win and having again Champions League spot with Aston Villa done good but in last few matches their home performance is not good because they already lost against Manchester United and New Castle United which were setback for them and Tottenham is clearly much better side from these two, so things can go against them, and we can have tough challenging win for the Tottenham as well which will surely bring more confidence and achievement with their Champions League ticket could be again on to grab because in case of Tottenham win their chances will be at his best.

My impression of Tottenham is just a club that goes back and forth, nothing more than that. Even if you can be consistent in several matches, you just need to wait for the moment to return to the initial settings. After losing Harry Kane, it became even more problematic because there was no striker who could cover that position, Son also needed the right support because usually when Kane was still there, Son acted as strong support in the attack line. Now relying on Richarlison alone is not enough to show Tottenham in a more positive direction. The next 1 or 2 seasons will be very tough so Tottenham will need to take a new striker in the transfer market early.

I read in the local media that when Chelsea just drew with Brentford their fans chanted Jose Mourinho's name, and it's understandable because it was an outpouring of disappointment to see his favorite club not succeed in showing a good performance and the defeat in the Carabao Cup was one of the triggers for rumors that there would be changes at Chelsea, but is Jose Mourinho willing to return to Chelsea? This has not been confirmed and there are even rumors that the Brighton coach is also one of the candidates to replace Pochettino.

Facing Newcastle will never be an easy match for Chelsea because in several meetings Chelsea has struggled to win, but I see a trend at Chelsea when several times they get bad results there will be a surprise that they will give next and maybe they will beat Newcastle who also didn't perform as well as last season.

Chelsea no longer has a chance of getting a place in European competition next season, what they have to do is improve their position in the standings to at least be in the top 10 to improve the mentality and motivation of players who have been heavily criticized for their very fluctuating performances.

I agree that Chelsea chances of getting better in the EPL are very unlikely. Being stuck in 11th position in the standings and still not being able to move up is proof that their playing conditions have not changed much. I will not blame the coach because almost everyone involved, including owners, players, and selection officials, had their own share and could be said to have failed to handle a team as big as Chelsea. In fact, this season there will be a lot of disappointment for the Blues, especially the supporters who are starting to get fed up with the team less than optimal performance. It could be that if Todd Boehly listens to the fans requests to bring in Jose then next season will be the right time to fire Pochettino. Don't trust Chelsea in Pochettino hands again, because next season could be even worse.

Every coach always wants to retain his productive strikers every season, in fact they hope to become one of the legends who retires at the club. Pep Guardiola certainly wants to keep Haaland, who in fact has been a very productive striker since he arrived, so this is natural for every coach and club.

Erling Haaland has basically not finished his second season with Manchester City, but he has already recorded 73 goals since he was signed from Dortmund. For Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland is a goal machine who is always needed every match, but over time a player will also be marginalized if his performance is unstable. It can be said that Erling Haaland is in top form with Manchester City and he is really needed.

If you have been following Manchester City lineup since Haaland's recovery from injury this year you would have probably noticed that Pep Guardiola has been starting Foden and Haaland in most matches. He makes sure to play both of them in Manchester City's important games.
Pep Guardiola prefers to start either Foden or Haaland alone in lower-level matches, keeping Kelvin Bruyne off the field for a bigger match. Let the other team players of Manchester City handle the match for the win, he will only come in to play when the match appears to be tough for them to win.

Foden has become a very important player in Guardiola's scheme, I remember last season he could not always have a place in the starting lineup, but this season everything has changed, and now he brought victory for the team in many matches. De Bruyne is gradually recovering from his injury, so Guardiola, if possible, gives him time to recover and enter the game more smoothly. This weekend there will be a very important match with Liverpool, in such a match all the important players will start playing from the first minutes.

[wiss19]

Liverpool has home advantage when they meet Manchester City this week. I don't expect both teams to draw despite their peak performance, but one of them must be able to win the match regardless of whether it is Manchester City or Liverpool. One of the two is expected to maintain its chances of winning the title instead of Arsenal, but if the two teams draw then Arsenal will certainly get a big benefit.

It is true that there are still a number of tough matches remaining this season, but if Liverpool or Manchester City can win this match then their motivation to maintain their position at the top will be even better. I expect Manchester City to win the game, but a draw might be expected by some people instead of a loss.

They do have the home advantage but against a team like Manchester City it is not enough, they need more than that to win Manchester City and i hope a lot of their injured players recover before the match. I see Arnold and Alisson out and some few key players that might be helpful in the match because they need all the players they can get in order to win.

Some players are barely recovering and might be not be fully fit to give their all in the match so Liverpool needs to approach the game with caution. Manchester City also needs to be careful, it is a crucial game and a league deciding game and anyone that loses will see a setback in the title race.

I am not agreed about this team like Liverpool needs home advantage for winning game because their quality is at the top and their available players are also capable of giving their best like we have from them in last night game against Sparta Prague where they have done impressive job and destroy them by good margin even things are not easy against Manchester City but still this could be not easy game for the Citizens because they are also needed to give their best if they want to win this game at Anfield and have top spot in league table.

Liverpool's injuries situation is worse but still they are doing good, and we can hope now Mohammad Salah which is well recovered will give his best in this game against Manchester City and keep their top spot in league table with their chances for the winning of title will be also increased.

[rendravolt]

I think Hojlund deserves to win the EPL best player award for February and he achieved this when he managed to give Manchester United victory through his goal contribution. We know that Hojlund has been very productive lately and in almost every match he always scores a goal and that also indicates that Erik ten Hag made no mistake in recruiting him from Atalanta last summer.

Now Hojlund has collected 7 goals from 20 appearances with Manchester United in the EPL and perhaps these statistics are not fertile enough for a striker but what is clear is that he did it in the span of a month while scoring these goals.

Currently Hojlund is still absent due to an unforeseen injury and maybe we will see in a few weeks. I hope Hojlund can finish this season with 15 goals and that will be a good start to his career at Manchester United. One more thing, hopefully the injury he suffered will not affect his improving performance.

[HajiBagi]

While we are getting closer to the game between Chelsea and Newcastle, there is much news for these teams about the match and we know Chelsea hardly needs to win this match and get a better situation in the Premier League by three points from this match because currently they are in the 11th place of the table which is not good for them considering the money they spent so far in this team during the summer and this can put Mauricio Pochettino under more pressure and even in danger of losing his job.
Regarding this match, Chelsea can't use Ben Chilwell and Levi Colwill which can make this game harder for them and Pochettino confirmed that.

 

If I were manager Fernando Pochettino, I would leave Chelsea at the end of this season because I haven't seen any improvement since he joined the team as a manager. Pochettino has made numerous attempts to improve Chelsea, but the team continues to perform poorly. I don't think any of the coaches who have joined Chelsea and left the team have done anything wrong; Chelsea simply didn't have any good players, and when they wanted to add players at the end of each season, they bought players who weren't good enough to remain on the squad.

While Chelsea hasn't fired Pochettino, if I were him, I would leave the team at the end of the season because Chelsea is truly embarrassing him with their performance. If the team doesn't score or perform well, the coach will always be blamed without realising that the players are also to blame. Cole Palmer is the only player Chelsea bought this season and he is making Chelsea proud.

Arsenal are no doubt favorites against Brentford. Arsenal have performed brilliantly in their last matches. The team won every match by a big margin. Even in the last match against Sheffield United, Arsenal won by a huge margin of 6-0. Even against Brentford, Arsenal have a very good past record. Arsenal have won 4 of their last 5 matches against Brentford, with one draw. Moreover, the match is Arsenal's home match, so considering all aspects, Arsenal is undoubtedly considered to be the favorite in this match.

Arsenal injury news as six key players could miss Brentford with Bukayo Saka wait


Source: Football.London

The problem, however, is that several key players in Arsenal's squad have suffered injuries. Although Arsenal have a strong squad, it is not certain whether they can perform well without such important players. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli face injuries. Whether these two players will be able to play in this match is yet to be said for sure. A win against Brentford will not be easy without these two key players.

De Bruyne is gradually recovering from his injury, so Guardiola, if possible, gives him time to recover and enter the game more smoothly.

He is best RW in manchester city right now. He can also go to anywhere. Foden has improved a lot compared to the last season. I liked when he was combined with Grealish, but that saddened me. Pep rarely puts grealish in starting lineup. De bruyne has fully recovered and he played full time games in the last matches.
Foden is on fire and pep likes to give him a spot in the main squad.



No doubt that if pep gave no permission for foden and several key players of manchester city to play in the game against copenhagen. Pep wanted to ensure no important players would be injured in that match against Copenhagen.
I see him as one of golden assets owned by city.  

This weekend there will be a very important match with Liverpool, in such a match all the important players will start playing from the first minutes.

The next battle gonna be the right battle for city and liverpool to go all in. It's the match to help you to lead the competition. Isn't it?

Haaland indeed is a gem of premier league. Missing Halland would be a huge blow to Manchester City. Even though they have a good team without Halland, they won't be able to sustain the current position on the league without Halland. It's not that they are going to relegate but Halland is a goal machine and stats speaks it for him.

On comparison, the highest goal scorer of Liverpool Salah has 23% and highest goal scorer of Arsenal Saka has 19%. That makes Manchester City most dependent on a single player among the top 3.

Eric Haaland is key player for the Manchester City and their success in Premier League even their all squad is good and having too many quality players but still if they lost Haaland then surely their performance will be not like we have currently with most chances they are not going to lose him in near future because we need to understand things are never been easy to sign him from his current position in Manchester City and Premier League with media rumours always keep things moving for the few top players.

Few weeks back we have trouble for the Manchester City while Haaland was injured and not able to play just because of this we need to understand he is important for their success in all competitions, and they will be never allow him to leave until they will be able to have suitable replacement.

If I may ask this question, whenever a football team is performing bad, who is the first person that is supposed to be blamed?

• The coach
• The players
• The management

If you can answer the above question honestly, you will understand the whether you are doing the right thing to vindicate pochettino. Honestly Poch saw the situation of Chelsea Football club and the quality of players they have before he agreed to sign a deal with them. The new very well that he was not coming to meet an excellent team rather to build the team. It is obvious that is attempts to build the Chelsea team as not yielded the result. Abandoning Chelsea at the end of the season will only stain his career the more. Remaining in the club for another season is also not guaranteed for him because the Chelsea management knows too well how to dismiss coaches. It is just like a dilemma to him and I did not know the decision that you will make by next season.

[hyudien]

Manchester City still needs Haaland if they really want to make it far in this league and shouldn’t just depend on Foden alone since he can also be utilized in the front to score more goals for the team.

Pep Guardiola prefers to start either Foden or Haaland alone in lower-level matches, keeping Kelvin Bruyne off the field for a bigger match. Let the other team players of Manchester City handle the match for the win, he will only come in to play when the match appears to be tough for them to win.

This tactic is also now one of the factors that Pep Guardiola can manipulate the opponent's concentration, because what we know last season was almost Haaland who was Pep focus in scoring goal after goal. Now that Foden is increasingly on fire, Man City has more big opportunities because both Foden and Haaland can be relied on on the front lines. When the opponent focuses on Haaland movements, Foden position is able to move freely and vice versa. So this time anyone who will face Man City must be ready to guard 2 Man City strikers who are very difficult to intercept.

Tomorrow Man United will start the weekend against Everton. Please note, when Man United play on Sunday nights, they always experience bad luck, you can see some of the matches they have played. Hopefully this time is different, but personally I'm still not completely sure because even though Everton is below Man United, that's not the benchmark. After successfully saving themselves from the relegation zone, Everton deserves to continue winning 3 points. Apart from that, Man United really needs additional points because they are still stagnant and cannot catch up with Tottenham's points. Maybe a bad result if they lose to Everton could be a big problem because it will make it easier for West Ham to attract them to switch positions.

[Coyster]

Liverpool's injuries situation is worse but still they are doing good, and we can hope now Mohammad Salah which is well recovered will give his best in this game against Manchester City and keep their top spot in league table with their chances for the winning of title will be also increased.

Mo Salah came on in the 74th minute in their game yesterday against Sparta Prague, thus i think he should be fit and ready to start for Liverpool against City on Sunday, they are of course still missing players like Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Trent, Alisson, Ryan Gravenberch, etc, but i still think they have a good enough squad to face City. Nunez and Szoboszlai are now fully fit and they are going to bolster Liverpool's attack, Alisson is definitely a big miss, but how good has Kelleher been, he has been magnificient; Liverpool are ready to go in this game, and i don't think there is too much excuse with injuries.

Mauricio Pochetino from the start I've said it is yet again another failed manager Chelsea would be test running, as much as I wanted him to achieve something with Chelsea considering his past trophyless stay with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint Germany. He was head coach from the start of the fucking season but found it difficult to to get his first eleven.  Won't be extending much faults on him though because he never had a natural central forward and also Injury affected the squad. I wished they was able to keep the consistency they had when Chelsea faced Manchester City during the first half of the season.

The management did what they should have done, and they was responsible for all of the signatures. A good coach wouldn't seen the job different or difficult though.

And blaming these players would be fuckery, A good coach would bring out the best in these players, they're great signatures in Chelsea all they need is a top quality manager for the club ahead of the new season.
