Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[JoyMarsha]

Edit: The problems did not take long to show, Burnley with ten men are back in the match. 2 - 2

Burnley missed a glorious opportunity to win the game, Chelsea scored two goals but could not defend it. Burnley were lucky that they scored quickly and got back on level terms before Chelsea tried to slowed the game.

It's a disappointing moment for the Chelsea team that they couldn't defend well to earn a 3-point home victory against a relegation club(Burnley), despite the red cards that were given to them.

It's unfortunate, that this draw Chelsea had with Burnley will scatter many people booking games because many Gamblers will predict Chelsea to win their home match against Burnley comfortably not draw with them. That's quite unbelievable to think of, considering Chelsea's position with Burnley

Of course, Chelsea really deserved to be disappointed with the result of their match against Burnley. Basically, Chelsea is the favorite to win, but surprises cannot be avoided because Burnley can actually win points even with only 10 players. Chelsea are still as bad as before, but they actually made a lot of goal attempts in this match even though they failed to win.

The next match will certainly be more difficult than today, of course because Manchester United is a tough opponent. Pochettino still seems to have failed as a differentiating coach for Chelsea this season because he still has to struggle to make Chelsea compete in the top flight instead of the middle table.

[marcous]

It seems Pochettino has run out of ideas to think of suitable tactics to rebuild the Chelsea squad. Chelsea, which has quite talented young players, apparently still does not have a strong mentality to navigate the tight competition of the EPL. Yes, they should have been able to maximize the match against Burnley to win three points, the red card given to Lorenz Assignon and the expulsion of their coach Company were the right reasons for Galagher and his colleagues to be able to dominate, but Burnley were able to equalize. So because of the draw, it was difficult for Chelsea to finish in the European zone.

Pochettino deserves criticism for Chelsea performance this season, he is fully responsible for the series of bad results obtained by the Blues. I think Pochettino doesn't have many ideas to make Chelsea develop for the better, the depth of the squad he has built also doesn't work as optimally as we expected. The peak of his carelessness was releasing most of the experienced players and recruiting young players with little experience.

We have often commented on Chelsea performance this season, and we can see that they have become a mediocre club in the past two seasons, their ranking in the standings is proof that the Blues are not going anywhere. Never mind finishing in the European zone, they are having a hard time getting into the top ten of the standings. Pochettino deserves to be replaced, and Chelsea management must try to bring in a more qualified manager next season.

The draw against Burnley was quite disappointing, this match should have been won easily, because we know the difference in quality between the two teams is quite large. Burnley were lucky to force Chelsea to share the points, although that didn't keep them out of the degradation zone. Pochettino is now under great pressure, I think the Blues will finish in the same ranking as last season.

[Woodie]

This Brentford pressure is real, am just not sure if it's the home advantage that's making the difference but United have failed to respond...come on boys pull up your socks!

[arimamib]

I think Chelsea can't be helped anymore this season. Their performance is very inconsistent, even if they decide to change coaches several times I don't think it will be a solution for them, because what is really their problem is the bad management that they currently have, and it started since Roman Abramovich left them. The draw against Burnley was quite an embarrassing result because they get that when they play at home.

Chelsea's problems are quite complex other coaching staff and poor management that cannot be denied they are too ambitious with the purchase of expensive players but have never been a mainstay for the team that is needed, if Poch is fired again it is not a solution for Chelsea but if Poch continues to be retained it could be worse.

Right. Roman Abramovich's departure has been a significant change for Chelsea this also stems from Tuchel who was fired in the middle of the road they replaced with Graham Potter failed, then Lampard moreover this is not any expertise now Poch failed again, then who is the next coach? Will Poch be retained?

The problem in Chelsea is the environment where the players seems just professionals who have lack of spirit and bond to the club. The ambitious pursuit of expensive players has not always translated into consistent performance on the field. Chelsea need to have a more strategic approach to player acquisitions and team building. The potential dismissal of Pochettino may not necessarily provide a solution for Chelsea's woes, because continuity and stability are also crucial elements in fostering success.

Retaining Pochettino without addressing underlying issues could exacerbate the situation. Chelsea need to learn from how Abramovic managed putting and trusting right people on their respective places. The succession of coaches reflects the club's struggle to find the right leadership to navigate these challenges effectively. The question of who will be the next coach for Chelsea should be the last thing to ask for now, because the key lies in addressing systemic issues within the club, fostering stability, and implementing a coherent long-term strategy for success on and off the pitch.

It sounds like there's frustration after the draw against Burnley, especially considering the perceived difference in quality between the two teams. Pochettino and the team are likely feeling the pressure to perform, especially with expectations high. It'll be interesting to see how Chelsea navigates the remainder of the season and if they can improve their previous ranking.

[rendravolt]

It seems very enjoyable if we talk about Chelsea and the victory in sight had to be dashed after Burnley managed to hold their series with a score of 2-2. Even though Chelsea were very favored and even when they faced a weak team in the relegation zone, they failed to maintain that slim lead. Apart from that, against a team with only 10 players they still couldn't stop the attack that was building and instead the Blues' defense collapsed in the final minute.

I feel like something went wrong from the start because Chelsea wasn't alert enough just because they were playing against a weak team and they suddenly couldn't anticipate something that was quite worrying. If only Chelsea could be more relaxed then they could at least be ahead by a lot of goals. A draw at home is clearly not good for Chelsea and their current position is very unsafe because there are so many chances of being displaced by the teams below them.

[Queentoshi]

This Brentford pressure is real, am just not sure if it's the home advantage that's making the difference but United have failed to respond...come on boys pull up your socks!

It has been Manchester United with most of the possessions, but Brentford who are the team fighting to remain in the premier league have had more shots to try to score and even having one very close, hitting the bar. Brentford are not an easy team to play, and should have won the first half, but they did not. Manchester United will likely improve in the second half and if they manage to score one goal first, they will try to keep it because the way Brentford plays make them not an easy team to win by scoring many goals against. Harry Maguire comes on in the second half, to improve the defense with Varane picking up an injury.

[Weawant]

I'm disappointed in Chelsea i'v expected much more from them but sadly they have only done far less than I've expected, most of their players were actually rested during the international break but then it turned out they still weren't informed enough to get to the point where they can comfortably win teams like Burnley and get the three points, they literally had to struggle and have end up sharing points with burnely.

Chelsea was actually leading at the beginning of the game so how they later got to the point where they had to allow burnely to score two goals and later equalize with them is actually disappointing on their path because I had wanted t hem to win and further get some more points to the top of the table. Burnley isn't such a team that should have been really difficult for Chelsea to have been able to play against and probably win them but then it turned out that they became strong contender to Chelsea at this point it's very clear that Chelsea will not be able to really get to even top four.

In the game Chelsea was actually doing well at some point and it was already looking like they were going to win because they even went further to lead by two goals which made them believed they have already won the game and had already gotten to the point they have to slack and even when Burnley got their first goal, still it was looking like there's still hope and Chelsea was still going to win.

It's a disappointing moment for the Chelsea team that they couldn't defend well to earn a 3-point home victory against a relegation club(Burnley), despite the red cards that were given to them.

Yeah, everyone feels disappointed with Chelsea. Since minute 40', Chelsea played against 10 players only because one of the Burnley players got a red card. Unfortunately, Chelsea only can get a draw result. They were leading 2 times, sadly Burnley always succeeded to equal the score. It really showed us that Chelsea has a very weak defense.

It's unfortunate, that this draw Chelsea had with Burnley will scatter many people booking games because many Gamblers will predict Chelsea to win their home match against Burnley comfortably not draw with them. That's quite unbelievable to think of, considering Chelsea's position with Burnley

Of course, most people must bet Chelsea to win against Burnley at home. They actually have no reasons to get a draw or lose against Burnley. Burnley is just a weak team in the relegation zone, they even only played with 10 players since minute 40'. It is too bad that Chelsea failed to get full points in this match. With this result, Chelsea is out of the top 10 now.

[snipie]

Early kick off has always end up in a draw but this on going game, talking about Newcastle vs West Ham is some how crazy. Not matter the odds being for Newcastle I still believe the away team has a better chances of winning, seeing the home side who was strong as of last season has become very careless ever since they was kicked out of the champions league and conceding 2 goals in the first half. I believe they're not in any way coming back in this game.

I am pretty much disappointed about Newcastle United this season. Although playing home and leading with 1 goal scored early in the match, they collapsed relatively quickly and took 3 goals with around 15 minutes left in the game.
They have many missed opportunities, at the opposite of West Ham United which have lesser but were able to be much accurate and score.
Newcastle United might lose another rank and pass to the eleven position.

Newcastle quick goal in the first half made Newcastle become complacent, because if Newcastle can still focus well then of course Newcastle will not be left with a score of 1-3 like that. But anyway, the fact is that Newcastle still managed to make a comeback because in the 77th minute until now it has entered injury time, the fact is that Newcastle managed to make 3 goals and the temporary score is 4-3 and Newcastle still leads in the score and also in the statistics that occur in this match. After all, basically West Ham has also recently experienced performance instability and therefore, it is still reasonable if in this match Newcastle and West Ham both managed to make a lot of goals.

I am impressed with the final result even though I still think that Newcastle United deserve every word I said.
Newcastle players were able to switch the result in the last ten minutes of the game to their side. With 4 - 3 goals, I think the disappointment on the West Ham United fans eyes are quite big. Indeed the instability of West Ham is worrying too.
For now Newcastle jumped to the 8th place and they might move to the 7th if they keep winning. West Ham United in the other side might lose their position and move to the middle of the table or even worse. Luckily Chelsea and Wolverhampton lost two points each today.

I think we have a decisive match during this weekend with Manchester City facing Arsenal at their home stadium.If Manchester City does not win this game it will complicate further their chances to win the Premier League this season as after this game only 7 games remain to be played,we are on week 31 now.On the other hand Arsenal will greatly improve their chances to be Champion of the Premier League this season if they manage to pull up what many would call a surprise result and win during this game,highly unlikely also for me but you never know what to expect from such an important Premier League game.

Arsenal have been winning comfortably in recent matches. Manchester City, on the other hand, have been on a long unbeaten streak. The top three places in the league are crucial and Arsenal must win this game if they want to be champions this year. Arsenal are effective in both set piece attacks and attacking schemes through Saka, while Manchester City are effective in every department with their compact play and asymmetrical formation.

Manchester City may be missing important players. Akanji, De Bruyne, Ederson and Walker are doubtful and Stones will not play in this match. Arsenal will take advantage of this situation. I expect Arsenal to surprise and win in this match that will perhaps decide the championship. A draw gives Liverpool the advantage.

[baeva]

They are big clubs. So, it is quite true that they will have no difficulty in getting second tier players who are also very talented and good. However, the problem is that the opponent is Arsenal, where they should have a full team with their main squad so they can compete very optimally. But of course, even with other squads, I'm sure Pep Guardiola will apply his best strategy to beat his opponent. Likewise, Arteta certainly doesn't want to bow down to his rival, Man City.

So, it's really going to be a big tough game, no doubt about it. Are you ready to bet on one of them? Or  too risky? 

No way, despite what an interesting match it will be I won't do it, in this case it's literally a shot in the sky. Moreover, the Manchester City squad will be fully ready for the game and tomorrow will be a super interesting night, I know that, because no matter who will come out victorious in this match, whether they will give us intrigue for the end of the season, because the season has been crazy enough as it is

[LGD2Business]

It's been a lot of minutes since Manchester United couldn't score a goal. The interesting thing is that Brentford is playing better and attacking more. It's incredible that this match is still 0-0. It should have been over 2.5 goals by now. If Manchester United cannot win this match, they should forget their dream of catching Tottenham. Ten Hag brought Antony into the game to score a goal, the man has no goals this season.

[salad daging]

This Brentford pressure is real, am just not sure if it's the home advantage that's making the difference but United have failed to respond...come on boys pull up your socks!

Calm down! Brentford only had 22 shots.

Brentford had an unsuccessful match before is it possible that Manchester United will be even more depressed? But so far the Red Devils are still trying to find opportunities for goals in the first half and Manchester United should not fail to respond.

Quite curious about the final result so keep watching this match because otherwise Brentford will surprise Manchester United or on the contrary Erik Ten Hag's team will win.

[tiCeR]

Kevin De Bruyne in the best shape possible being absent makes the team worse. I don't wanna come up with a % number by how much the team is worse, but what would the point be of being proud to have this exceptional player when he does not give the team some % points in extra performance? No, for me he is one of the best midifielders/midfield-wingers of all times. There is hardly any player who understood as well how to put his teammates into the perfect position to score. His assist numbers are widely unmatched. I don't know whether there is a leaderboard regarding number of assists historically, but if there is, I am sure he is to be found in the top 5 of all times. I am not sure how it would not be a loss for a team if such a player is absent.

Yes, Kevin De Bruyne is a very influential figure for Manchester City, he is a great leader whose presence in the team will certainly have a tremendous impact. This season I think Manchester City's weakness lies in the midfield if De Bruyne cannot play. This season, Pep Guardiola is certainly very aware of this because he lost two important figures, De Bruyne, who often suffered injuries and lost other important figures such as Gundogan, who chose to move to Barcelona. The entry of Kovacic has not been able to be a suitable replacement, so Pep Guardiola has to change his playing pattern very often, which has caused Haaland to be a little hampered up front. But City's chances are big enough to get full points because playing at the Etihad Stadium, the support of fans could be very helpful in suppressing the opponent's mentality.

Everything you said is correct and many people forget about Gundogan and how he built the most dangerous midfield in the world with De Bruyne last season. These two guys had countless of goals and assists to their names and they perfectly harmonized with each other when it came to controlling the speed of the game. The fact that they scored so many important goals was another big advantage that Manchester City had over other teams. De Bruyne scored the important goal in the first leg against Real Madrid and Gundogan scored several important goals in Premier League games, some of which he scored late in the game when the strikers couldn't get the job done. Having such a midfield is so valuable to any team. It means that not everything has to be done and managed by a player like Haaland. Instead, the whole team is dangerous and can score goals. It is a bit different this season, but I think that was to be expected as it is always close to impossible to replace such a midfield 1:1 within just one season's time.

[Rengga Jati]

I can honestly say, it would be outrageous if Chelsea lost to Burnley. Despite how good Burnley is, Chelsea should still be above that club, from various angles. Burnley is the bottom club in the relegation zone.

You speak too honestly, but it's true. Chelsea must win and get full 3 points here. It would be intolerable if they failed again. Chelsea have a not-so-bad track record in 4 consecutive matches, they even won their last match against Leicester City quite impressively. So, in this match against Burnley, I am sure that they will also do well. In the previous match, in the EPL this season, Chelsea was also H2H superior to Burnley with a score of 1 - 4 for Chelsea's win, they were playing away. Moreover, they will be the host of the match. So I believe they will be much more optimal.

Draw??
Against Burnley??? With only 10 players???
How can??? Oh may. Can't say anything else.

I, really, don't know what's going on with Chelsea anymore. Never mind, my hopes are too high for Chelsea to win. in fact, ah, never mind. Everyone who watched this match or did not watch it must be feeling annoyed, very upset. What should we do and how else can we make Chelsea look a little better?

There is a possibility that the result will be a draw between Brentford vs Man United if it continues like this.
Because, they seem quite balanced, even though Brentford actually made more intense attacks compared to Man United. However, both of them have not been able to score a single goal. This time, Man United actually didn't play badly, but it wasn't very good either.

It's still in the 80-minute and the result is still a draw 0 - 0

Ten Hag brought Antony into the game to score a goal, the man has no goals this season.

For a top club with good quality players like Manchester United, I didn't expect them to struggle against in their game tonight against Brentford but the more disappointing issue in the game is that Brentford have been the better side in that game and if they can continue with the way they're pressing for a win they might just get the goal that'll ensure their win in the game.
Erik ten Hag I don't think is the ideal coach that'll United get their desired goal of becoming one of the most competitive English Premier League clubs again and if they must achieve that aim, I think it's best fir the club management to get rid of the Dutch man. Manchester United haven't been consistent and convincing with their performances and results this season and for a club that's big as United, it's embarrassing to see them play football at the moment.

Manchester United have found it difficult to break Through the defence line of Brendfort,as Brendfort have mounted more pressure than the red devils.I knew this game was really going to be tough as I predicted this encounter to end in a draw.This type of games normally go by just a goal to make the difference,and Instead of Man u to get that goal,I think it's going to go in favour of Brendfort,because they are the team posing more threat now,and Man u are just sitting back to defend.If United should lose to them,it will be an embarrassing defeat which will have a way of toiling with their top four hope.

It sounds like there's frustration after the draw against Burnley, especially considering the perceived difference in quality between the two teams. Pochettino and the team are likely feeling the pressure to perform, especially with expectations high. It'll be interesting to see how Chelsea navigates the remainder of the season and if they can improve their previous ranking.

Last season Chelsea ended the season in 12th position, while this season they have not improved their position where they are currently struggling in 11th position. Pochettino is of course under great pressure to start every match, even Chelsea cannot really be expected when they are favorites. It's hard to explain, but that's how Chelsea is this season.

Pochettino has the next 10 games to get Chelsea up from its current position, but almost every game ahead becomes more difficult. The next match is against Manchester United, so of course Chelsea is not the favorite team to win it.
