Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I don't think Pochettino's stay at Chelsea has been something to say the club have improved because if you say he should stay I think this guy will only handle Chelsea like he did with Tottenham without any trophy and you'd agree with me that the fans and equally the board don't have that time to wait, we know how desperate they are especially the fans.

People can change, from players to coaches, and Pochettino with his talent can change and upgrade himself, and win trophies. If coaches like Ranieri, Spaletti can win trophies after many years and seasons as a runner up, without league trophy, don't feel so pessimistic with Pochettino.

He is a good head coach and I believe if he manages a big club, is given good budget for player transfers, chances to build up a squad he wants, and has enough time and patience from the club, he will succeed, sooner or later, matter of time only.

I knew that Pochettino did not win big trophies so far in his coach career but I don't underestimate his capability as a head coach.

 Chelsea can rest easy now they are above Man UTD because I don't see the Red devils overthrowing them anytime soon because doing that will mean they will win Arsenal and Chelsea will lose their match which I feel is a high impossibility.
Riding on the high of defeating Tottenham and West Ham, they will want to do more damage to Nottingham forest when they travel to City ground on Saturday but knowing how they can come from performing excellently one game or two to bottling the next, I'm expecting surprises. I also doubt the board at Chelsea will keep Pochettino even if he manages to win the three games but wasn't able to hit their target; which is to play in the Europa league, since qualifying for the Europa conference league will be a disappointing one for fans and a step down from what they are used to making which is champions league.

If Pochettino leaves then Chelsea will be worse, that's in my opinion because we saw last season when Chelsea made several coaching changes but none of them were successful.
Pochettino is a coach who has good qualities and this season we can see that there is slowly increasing quality for Chelsea even though at the moment they are far behind, but the positive thing is that there is development in this team so it is possible that next season they can do even better.
I hope Pochettino is retained by Chelsea, and I am sure now that Pochettino is able to make Chelsea even better, everything requires a process and Pochettino is doing that.

I don't think Pochettino's stay at Chelsea has been something to say the club have improved because if you say he should stay I think this guy will only handle Chelsea like he did with Tottenham without any trophy and you'd agree with me that the fans and equally the board don't have that time to wait, we know how desperate they are especially the fans.
I'll say let him stay from now till December and if there's no improvement not this trust the project stuff he's always saying, if nothing positive comes out I think he should be sacked. I mean take a look at his body language, so poor in making decisions that can change the outcome of a game, is not suppose to be coming from a manager that wants to make a change for himself and the club.

We have first season of Pochettino here at with Chelsea and there is no doubt things are still not stable, but he has done good job with currently they are at the seventh spot and have good chance of jumping at the sixth spot which could be satisfying result for him and Chelsea fans which were not good in last few seasons and having terrible time, but one thing is surely Pochettino is having no ability to win trophies which is also important but as he brought some consistency is good for the team if we have one more season then surely we will have this team into good spot which is also important for them.

Next season is going to be important with many teams are having good improvement and few are struggling which is surely a concern but as things are going we can expect next season could be more competitive, and we will have good changes at the top which could be interesting.

Three matches left in Premier League and see how possibilities standings position finish in this season for Chelsea after success moving up from 10th to 7th standings awhile. Currently Chelsea has chance break out to 5th standings position depend their consistency performance or not in three matches left against Nottingham Forest, Brighton Albion and Bournemouth.
Pochettino improved well with team performance currently and I think bad viewed from fans currently will defend him keep becoming Chelsea manager for next season, I think if can reach UEFA Champion League spot place in this season will make good performance as first season become Chelsea manager and make many rotation with players composition.

When Chelsea had a lot of bad results previously, many people criticized Pochettino. But now it seems that Pochettino has succeeded in improving Chelsea's performance quite well. And I'm sure the criticism of Pochettino has also decreased now. And maybe Pochettino will stay at Chelsea longer with Chelsea's situation improving. But I think everything will depend on Chelsea's performance in all the remaining games this season. Because if Chelsea manages to maintain their good performance and win all the remaining matches then I'm sure Pochettino will also start to get appreciation from everyone. And maybe Chelsea could indeed have the potential to end the season with a better ranking than last season.

[fadhilz123]

Chelsea still has a chance to finish in fifth place provided they have to win their last three matches and hope that Newcastle and Tottenham drop points in the next three matches. The chances they have are very slim because they really depend on the results obtained by Tottenham or Newcastle. Tottenham certainly doesn't want fifth position to be taken by rivals who are below them. Consecutive defeats in the last four matches are a nightmare for Tottenham because their position is increasingly threatened. Next match they will face Burnley, they will try to end their losing streak in the last four matches to keep their position safe.

The top five positions are still being fiercely contested by four teams who still have the opportunity to get that position. Because the four teams I mean still have three matches at the end of this season, they are Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United. If Tottenham still wants to maintain their top five position until the end of the season, of course Tottenham must be able to win at least the next two matches at the end of this season. Because the other three teams have to win the three remaining matches for them and hope that Tottenham will not win again in the remaining matches.

For me i would say pochettino has really try very well in his own little way, it has really been a hectic season for chelsea this season and the last one, but somehow pochettino has managed to place them in the 5th position. That's really progress for me. Pochettino leaving the club now wouldn't be adviceable, because i see great potential and efforts in him this coming season. He should also use good of the transfer window.

[bitgolden]

I am not sure if I agree. I am not saying that Pochettino is some magic great amazing manager or something, but looking at how Chelsea is doing right now, Pochettino seems like more than enough for them. They need to realize that they are overspending on players they do not need, getting two wingers for the position and spending over hundred million doesn't make sense for example. They need a better "management", the owner and the office is doing a bad job with these transfers.

But, I am sure that the team will eventually get better with time, and Pochettino can make that happen, they just need to be more "calm" during the transfer window, do not rush to make the team worth a lot, try to just calm down and if Pochettino asks for any specific player, just get him, otherwise don't try to overdo it.

Pochettino also gained the trust of Todd Boehly to continue providing opportunities next season. So Chelsea has started to rediscover what was lost, its players have also shown solid cooperation. I think Chelsea fans must remain patient with the club's regeneration process. After carrying out changes last season, it really takes patience to find the identity of the players. But I'm sure Chelsea fans have accepted whatever results their team will get this season. Even though they have to finish in 7th place in the standings, they will feel happy. There are several opportunities left because they can still fight for 6th place in the standings. Newcastle has a tough match because they have to face Brighton, Manchester United and also Brentford, meaning Chelsea's opportunities are very open if they target 6 at the end of the season.

Yes, it has been almost 10 seasons since Manchester United was unable to win the Premier League title. The reason is, the last time Manchester United won the Premier League was in the 2012-2013 season. After that season, Manchester United never again won the Premier League, and in its best performance, Manchester United was only able to become runner up, in the 2017-2018/2020-2021 season. Then this season Manchester United's performance also be bad again, and they have the opportunity to finish in the middle of the Premier League standings. So if you think deeper, it was only during Sir Alex's time that Manchester United triumphed so well. At that time, Manchester United was really feared by all teams in the Premier League and the world.
Maybe at that time the only team that was able to provide a little resistance to Manchester United in the Premier League was Manchester City.

Apart from that, Manchester United's defeat to Crystal Palace is clear evidence that Manchester United is indeed weak at the moment. Maybe if Manchester United's performance wants to improve again, in my opinion Manchester United management must be right in choosing players and coaches. In essence, Manchester United's special team tasked with analyzing the talent of players who will be recruited/contracted must be even better. Likewise with the selection of coaches, the Manchester United analysis team must really understand what kind of coach suits the playing style of the players.

So what I can conclude is that the most likely reason why Manchester United has not been able to recover during these 10 seasons could be because the Manchester United analyst team has so far not been good at selecting players and coaches.

Wow it’s a decade already since Manchester United last won the EPL title and in the space of that 10 years they’ve been very bad. This season has been one season they want to end in a hurry because it’s been the worst of all as they have shattered all ugly records in just this season. What could be wrong? This Manchester United team used to be the pride of England and a dominant force across Europe. But currently they've lost it all and repeatedly get disgraced by inferior teams.

 Well I think the lack of quality coach has a role and another fault should be on the players that joined the club as these players have proven to be less than average and not up to the standard of playing for a club like Man United. ⁠Yes of course there’s a way out of every problem and for this I think the swiftest way out is on the scouting team to be able to check players who are really ready and worth playing for rhe badge and not some players who just wants the fame and money.

 The mew owners will have to spend a lot if they are to make this possible because I think this is the best way ou.  ⁠A proper planning and scouting of a player and making sure the player checks all boxes to be able to play for the club before even making a move for the player. If this is done, I think the club will be able to achieve great success in coming seasons.

[Odohu]

I have a feeling that Tottenham will mess up Manchester City league title dreams this season. Tottenham have been on losing streak, losing 4 matches straight which have made them lose their chances of qualifying for Champions League next season and even their chances of qualifying for Europa League is being threatened by Newcastle that have picked up form after their weeks of turbulence. Tottenham need to win at least one match if they must change the tide and the only option available is Brighton or Manchester City. I'm feeling that they might draw Brighton then win Manchester City. If this happens, then Arsenal's hope of winning the league will become reality.  

[redsun114]

I think, it will be difficult for Chelsea to win all their remaining matches to achieve all those points, because their performance was very poor from the beginning of the tournament that made others teams to be ahead of them and it will not be easy for Chelsea to win all those matches.The team you can expect that kind of winning from is Manchester city, which many people know that they will win all their remaining matches to take that position from Arsenal to repeat what happened last season to win the premier league title again. I think, top 5 position will be impossible for Chelsea to achieve in this season, because there are still some strong teams ahead of them which they will not allow Chelsea to cross 6 or 7 position before the end of the tournament.

On a paper, it wont be difficult for Chelsea to win all the 3 remaining matches because the 3 remaining opponents can be considered as easy team to beat compared to the 2 teams they have beaten previously (West Ham and Spurs). Mathematically they still have the chance to finish in the 5th position but they also need to rely on other results. In my opinion, there will be no significant changes on the standing at the of the season so I guess Chelsea will stay in where they are now.

With the three remaining games in this season and current performance are clearly indicating we are having some chance but just on papers because in remaining games we can expect Tottenham will be able to have 6 points which will allow them to stay at the fifth spot and Newcastle United and Chelsea will be fight for the sixth spot which is also going to be interesting situation for these clubs which were not good in early rounds of this season and now having some good performance which is giving them good chance.

But, this is still a good test case for these teams as they can improve their performance in next season, and then we can expect good challenging competition for the top ranks which are trademark of the Premier League.

[Strongkored]

The chances they have are very slim because they really depend on the results obtained by Tottenham or Newcastle.

Consecutive defeats in the last four matches are a nightmare for Tottenham because their position is increasingly threatened. Next match they will face Burnley, they will try to end their losing streak in the last four matches to keep their position safe.

Chelsea certainly hopes that happens, but in my opinion, whether Chelsea can get fifth place or not depends quite a lot on this week's match, because just one draw will close down that opportunity, their opponents this week are weak on paper, but Nottingham still needs points to stay In its current position, outside the bottom three, Chelsea will be facing tough resistance, especially since Chelsea have suffered more defeats in away matches this season, of the 11 defeats they have experienced, 7 of them have been in away matches, so there are doubts that Chelsea will be able to get full points against Nottingham and If they fail to get full points then they only need to secure a ticket in a lower European competition than the Champions League and I think that's still good because they were even predicted to only stay outside the top 10 previously.

Yes, that's right and I think that's what Chelsea should do, at least they have maintained this team and not dropped to the bottom of the rankings, Chelsea management should keep Pocchetino for next season and not fire him, it seems the players have adapted enough to Pocchetino, it would be very detrimental if they had to replace him. Chelsea's new coach, he also as head coach probably knows which players he needs for his main squad so he doesn't spend too much of his budget and doesn't have any benefits.

Chelsea must have more productive players in the front line as well as in the back line so that their defense is strong enough next season. I am sure that by retaining Pocchetino it will make it easier for Chelsea next season to compete with the top teams, they often make things difficult for teams. top flight so far therefore Chelsea has the right to get quality players next season and be more productive in order to maintain consistency and get the best position in the EPL next season, even though this season Pocchetino cannot win any titles at least he can be given time for the next season. I'm sure the results will be better than this season

I might not know how to define Pochettino, today his good him and his players performing very well, the next game he becomes the worst but judging from this last few matches played, his been doing a lot of good deeds and I commend him for that. To be honest, Chelsea squad right now is not the best to take them winning trophies, no good top striker for proper finishing, we saw good opportunities that would have helped them topped the table but it was poorly converted and as we know we might not see Thiago Silva play anymore and with the current defenders, I don't think they can keep up with the process, a lot of reshuffling should be done.

[Uruhara]

I have a feeling that Tottenham will mess up Manchester City league title dreams this season. Tottenham have been on losing streak, losing 4 matches straight which have made them lose their chances of qualifying for Champions League next season and even their chances of qualifying for Europa League is being threatened by Newcastle that have picked up form after their weeks of turbulence. Tottenham need to win at least one match if they must change the tide and the only option available is Brighton or Manchester City. I'm feeling that they might draw Brighton then win Manchester City. If this happens, then Arsenal's hope of winning the league will become reality.  

All Arsenal fans and Spurs fans will definitely hope that this happens. Because if Spurs succeed in beating Man City then it will benefit Spurs and also benefit Arsenal. But looking at Man City's current performance, it will be quite difficult to beat. but Spurs are also one of the very strong teams this season. So it wouldn't be that surprising if Spurs managed to beat Man City or even hold Man City to a draw. But it's a little difficult to imagine that Man City will lose to Spurs. Because Man City will definitely not waste any of the remaining games they have this season. Because they also know that Arsenal has the potential to take the trophy from them this season if Man City loses just one game in the remaining matches this season.

[rendravolt]

Chelsea has been on a rampage lately and I don't know why they are scoring so many goals in one match. What is clear is that Pochettino is now able to find a little bit of direction for the Blues squad and they just need to continue this positive trend until the end of the season. Currently Chelsea is also one level above Manchester United and of course they will continue to maintain that place or could even overtake Newcastle and Spurs with the remaining 3 matches.

I think we are still optimistic that the Blues squad wants to get a place in European competition next season considering that they have missed this competition for so long in the last few years. Now they just need to wipe out the remaining matches and also hope that the team above them experiences setbacks so they can overtake their current position.

When Pochettino arrived, everyone believed Chelsea would once again compete for the Premier League title they had long dreamed of. But what happened to Chelsea, Pochettino's strategy did not work, they had difficulty winning and only sat in the middle of the standings,
but towards the end of the season Chelsea as many people expected played with Pochettino's strategic tactics which many fans wanted.
Yes, many fans hope that Chelsea can play in the Europa League because it is very unlikely that they will play in the Champions League, and hope to overtake the 2 teams above them at the end of the season.

It's too early for us to have such hopes, especially as the Blues squad is still very young and will need a long time to be able to compete for the EPL title. Even if they have an experienced coach like Pochettino, things still won't go well.

Rather than the European league, I think a realistic target for them right now is the conference league because every week there are always surprising and unexpected matches. So I also think there are times when Chelsea will find it difficult to enjoy their victory again. Pochettino cannot leave before his job is finished and he must continue his work next season.

[Ayers]

When he was in Ajax he was able to maximize the potential of every single player individually. But at Manchester United, the players are already performing well. They are already great individual players. So it is more important to maximize the chemistry between the players. Because as they have proved themselves before, they will definitely have some kind of ego. but I don’t think he is actually being able to realize that. And that is a big reason why I think some players who have not done anything in Manchester United at all, like Antony, have a massively inflated ego without any reason.

He is just not a good coach for any club that has high expectations or any top level club in my opinion.

I agree with this that Erik Ten Hag cannot create a harmonious relationship or good chemistry between the players. I asked whether he simply didn't have that skill, or whether his players were very difficult to improve. However, the second reason (the problem lies with the players) is very unlikely if he is a coach who can manage all the players. Coaches should not be feared, but coaches should be respected, and from what I saw he was showing signs that he wanted to be feared by the players.
For example, when he had a problem with a player like Ronaldo some time ago, he acted as if he could do everything because he was a coach. This is an unwise attitude for a coach to have and it is a little annoying for me.

I think fear and respect are linked with each other. If you do not have fear for something, you are not going to respect that certain thing. If I personally could go into the street and I know there is a certain person that I could slap right now and that is not going to have any kind of problems in my life, I would not have to face any kind of consequences for that, I might not go and slap him but I definitely am not going to respect him. And I think something like that is happening with or between the coach and the players of Manchester United to some extent. If it was someone like Zidane, the players would have respected him regardless because he is one of the best ever. But they definitely do not see Ten Hag to be someone like that.

[Amphenomenon]

I have a feeling that Tottenham will mess up Manchester City league title dreams this season. Tottenham have been on losing streak, losing 4 matches straight which have made them lose their chances of qualifying for Champions League next season and even their chances of qualifying for Europa League is being threatened by Newcastle that have picked up form after their weeks of turbulence. Tottenham need to win at least one match if they must change the tide and the only option available is Brighton or Manchester City. I'm feeling that they might draw Brighton then win Manchester City. If this happens, then Arsenal's hope of winning the league will become reality.  

Wow I'm not the only one having this premonition, especially from the fact that they have lost awfully against these other teams while having an excellent squad that are too inconsistent even more disappointing than before.  Man City should be really weary of them for this because it will be totally disgraceful if Tottenham literally lose to them all. Though I want City to win this match and the league, I don't want Arsenal to win the league  which may actually would have been a better proof that Epl is not a farmer league but who cares, I just want to be able to  mock their fans

[Issa56]

Chelsea still has a chance to finish in fifth place provided they have to win their last three matches and hope that Newcastle and Tottenham drop points in the next three matches.

Do you think both Newcastle and Tottenham will start dropping points? Let’s be realistic here. I don’t think both Tottenham and Newcastle will start losing matches consecutively. I know Tottenham's performance dropped recently, but that doesn’t mean they will be losing all the matches they have left. Chelsea might end the season in the top 6, but I don’t think it will be possible for them to end the season in the top 5. If Tottenham can get a win and a draw in the matches they have left, even if Chelsea wins all their matches, Tottenham will be ahead of Chelsea by one point.

Consecutive defeats in the last four matches are a nightmare for Tottenham because their position is increasingly threatened. Next match they will face Burnley, they will try to end their losing streak in the last four matches to keep their position safe.

Tottenham haven’t been able to win their last four matches, but if Tottenham can’t win against Manchester City, then they should be able to win against Burnley, which is their next match, and they should be able to win against Sheffield United, which will be their last match of the season, so I don’t really think Chelsea will be able to take over Tottenham's current position.

[Weawant]

The top five positions are still being fiercely contested by four teams who still have the opportunity to get that position. Because the four teams I mean still have three matches at the end of this season, they are Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United. If Tottenham still wants to maintain their top five position until the end of the season, of course Tottenham must be able to win at least the next two matches at the end of this season. Because the other three teams have to win the three remaining matches for them and hope that Tottenham will not win again in the remaining matches.

Especially the top position which is been closely contested by two top teams fiercely such that they both have just a slight difference away from each other a d may actually get to get ahead of the other if eventually one gets to be able to win their next three games that will bring the Season to an end and the other gets to loose or even draw one of their games and this is that biggest opportunity Manchester city seeks.

Tottenham is actually trying so hard to be able to maintain their position even with all the circumstances that has surrounded their chances to been able to maintain their position, I'm optimistic and hopefully they will eventually get to finish the season at their current position but then the fixture against Manchester city is going to be a tough one on them that will actually try their Chances but I think they will rather settle for a draw and for Manchester city they will have to be very card as this may actually want to turn out a stumbling block to their chances of winning the league title this season.

Manchester united and Chelsea now at the same point but having a difference of goal and that's actually going to denies Manchester united the chances of finishing at the Seventh position if eventually they maintain theses results like this till the end of their last three games meanwhile Chelsea may possibly get to the fifth position if they are able to maintain a winning streak till the end of their own last few games before the season finaly ends.
