Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Farma]

My eyes can't see this wrong, right? It's not a matter of a draw in normal time but everything has to be decided by a penalty shootout in the pre-season match between Arsenal and Bournemouth and this really invites laughter.

It is not surprising that pre-season matches will always be boring and there will be no excitement even though the favorite team is the favorite and like other top EPL teams, Arsenal also find it quite difficult to win. Bournemouth, who will still participate in the EPL next season, is taking this opportunity to find out how to stop Arsenal when they face each other in an official match later. Well, in the end Arsenal won very narrowly on penalties and at least they had to immediately improve their game.

This game was a probably warming up in anticipation to what should be expected in the nearest future when he league eventually begins. Bournemouth actually did performed so well because I didn't expect that would be this firm against Arsenal, I was expecting even if it was a pre season game, Arsenal would express some kind of superiority that will be such that others are possibly going to probably learn from seeing that Arsenal will be looking very ready for the new season but then with Bournemouth they even made me want to have some good anticipation with their performance in the season, I'm very much aware that things can actually turn out very different from what happened at pre season but i expected better from Arsenal.

These games won't prove anything from the performance of the two teams, we know Arsenal is a good team with Arteta and since he joined in Arsenal he has helped Arsenal to get improve more by hiring more players and helping Arsenal to have a better team.  
they got a draw in the friendly match against Bournemouth but this can't be a good reason to say Arsenal is a weak team.

Indeed this is a friendly match but in a match like this all teams want to take a positive result, and the coach is also exploring a strategy for his team, and going through this match is all for the club in terms of player fitness and other things, Arsenal under Arteta's tutelage has indeed found its performance in the last few seasons, but to say he is successful or not is about how many trophies he has given to the club if he can give the EPL trophy to Arsenal, then he deserves to be said to be good for Arsenal.

The 1-1 result over Bournemouth and had to be continued with a penalty shootout and Arsenal won, it was seen that Arteta was testing his new strategy and it looked very difficult for his team so if Arteta still fails this year he is not the right coach for Arsenal, in my opinion a team must be able to optimize victory wherever he plays and has victory especially Arsenal they have the ability so for example this season Arteta fails again I think Arsenal must be firm with him.

 Chelsea football club have been one of the most decorated team in the transfer window, they get players that they know isn't going to be effective to the team, no contribution but still they waste their resources just to get as much as they want, I mean teenagers, which to me I don't think is even the best way to handle a team such as Chelsea. Their friendly game against Wrexham a division One side played out a 2-2 draw which many of the fans thought Chelsea was going to win without worries and it got me worried that these Chelsea players still haven't changed a bit, same mentality no force, losing possession where they are not suppose to and the coach Enzo Maresca is saying they will concede more goals if they continue to build up from the back, like is that even necessary to build from the back since they know they can't handle the pressure?
 A team that's not as strong as they used to be need to make a different approach to the game with the season coming up in less than 3 weeks and they haven't been as brilliant as the fans wishes to see, fine is just one game but these guys need to improve because they have no time to wait for. I can't say Chelsea will do well next season because from what I saw it was even worse than they played last season, just hope the signing of players that won't make the 1st eleven will stop and they have to face the reality of the game.

I also share the same sentiment as you bro, one thing that has annoyed me the most about this Todd boehly and co is that they are running the club as if they don't have brains, or did they thinks that the English premier league is under 21 tournament?  Look at how Manchester city and Arsenal is, they are buying quality and experience players, Todd boehly and co is busy buying battalion of immature players that can't help the team in anyway.

Sincerely speaking, I think that Chelsea will keep on struggling till this clown of a own sell of the club to someone more reasonable, ok let's look at the kind of managers he has employed since they bought the club, he has been hiring shit of a managers compared to the kind of managers the club are already used to during the roman abrahimovic era, Todd boehly and co has practically turns Chelsea into a mid table team in the past few seasons under their leadership, due to the fact that they are looking for a yes man of a manager,  I don't expect Chelsea to change anytime soon, until this clueless owners remove their hands from the day to day running of the club entirely.

[Inwestour]

Very true that many players have overstayed in them and they are becoming redundant and monotonous in the team. They are afraid to take new challenges and they are getting fat by the fat salary given them. If they want to stay, they need cut their salary, strip their jersey and get ready to fight for it. A player like Rashford although is still young need to sit up, he should be sold or loaned. He needs new environment to improve and not giving one season wonder and two seasons flop. Erik Ten Hang himself is becoming just like them which is the reason he should be changed. He is unable to influence the boys and it seems that the boys are influencing him instead. I remember the first season of his arrival in Manchester United, he made the lazy ass sit up but now they have all returned to their old lazy state. Oh! I miss my dear old Manchester United.

If you do this, fire and sell someone who couldn't show his best game, then it will become permanent and you won't be able to form a team. 7 goals for the whole season in the Premier League for a forward is too little, but the attack of Man Utd scored little compared to other teams, so maybe the reason is not in the forwards, but in the strategy of the coach. The management gave ten Hag another chance, it means they believe that the results can get better, I don't think that the players play worse because they got lazy due to big salaries, it's just that the competition in the Premier League is high, and maybe the team that ten Hag is creating is not able to withstand it.

Chelsea has indeed recruited a lot of new players in this transfer market, there are already 6 players who have officially joined Chelsea. These players are

• Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
• Omari Kellyman
• Renato Veiga
• Caleb Wiley
• Marc Guiu
• Tosin Adarabioyo

These six players are still considered young players, so if you look at their experience, they certainly don't have much experience. So it's natural that Chelsea had quite a hard time playing against Wrexham, because in this match Chelsea tried out the new players they had brought in. So what we saw in yesterday's match were second tier players and also new players from Chelsea. So it's natural that Chelsea can only draw in this match, because the chemistry of the new players is certainly not yet fully formed. So if we conclude that Chelsea will play badly next season, I think it is still too early to draw such a conclusion. Because of course Chelsea's pre-season match yesterday was just to measure and see the right position for the Chelsea players.

So basically the performance shown by Chelsea in the match against Wrexham was certainly not their actual performance.
And in this match, the Chelsea players actually played quite well because they were proven to be able to dominate possession of the ball quite well. However, in this match I saw that Chelsea's midfield was not very good at launching its attacks so that the ball was often controlled again by the Wrexham players and in the end Chelsea counter-attacked. Then the defense line is also not good. However, as I said above, this is a normal thing, because this pre-season match is only to test the new players brought in by Chelsea. And to match the right positions for these players.

Chelsea, since Todd took over the club, have had this problem of signing players they don't need. Once they hear that Arsenal, Man UTD or even Liverpool are going for a player, they will quickly indicate interest and try to lure the player with money. Look at their squad, you'd see they've got a number of players that haven't seen first team football or even debuted, yet if you hear the amount they used to purchase these players, you'd be surprised that they are being benched.
 Personally, I don't think Chelsea needs to sign much players as they can do well with the ones they have, just have a coach who can make use of them and you'd see results but with how desperate they are to return to their glory days, immediately they see a player or coach who did well in one season, the next thing, they will be going for them.

I think we need to take things slowly with Chelsea. They have got a new Manager and they have been tryin to recruit and build a team that can challenge for the EPL title in the next two seasons. They have a project and it involves building a team with youths and we saw how Arteta did it with Arsenal, it took them more than a year to get to where they’re now.
I noticed something in that game against Wrexham, Maresca is trying out a possession based football and somehow I think Chelsea doesn’t have the resources for that style of play.
The players they’re bringing in aren’t the type of players needed to execute his style of play. He wants his team to play from the back but he doesn’t have players that are very good on the ball. The two goals they conceded against wrexham were as a result of lost of possession at the back. I think they need to work on all that before the season starts, so opponents won’t take advantage of it.

Yes you are right, they often bring in players they don't need to bring in, and that is proven by their performance which failed to contribute to the team's game. They should be more careful in bringing in players, because that will determine their game. Yes they do have money to spend, but it will be in vain if the players they bring in do not have any impact, they must be careful not to experience financial problems because of their own mistakes in managing the team.
I noted many players they brought in in the last 2 seasons, but what did they get? nothing at all, even their game tends to be just like that and there is no development at all. This should be an important lesson for them not to make the same mistake in the future.
Now they also have to be more patient in waiting for the performance of a coach, they should not rush to make a decision to fire the coach because in fact that could also be a new problem.

[Litzki1990]

I agree with you. People won't remember you were in second place. Everyone will only remember the champions and history will also only record the champions. Arteta is a great coach who has succeeded in making Arsenal a very solid team. They even really deserve to be champions. I think everyone agrees that they are better than Manchester United. But as you said, what a club needs is not the claim that they have a solid squad, but the number of trophies they have won. Even though Manchester United played worse than Arsenal, fortunately they managed to win the FA Cup.

Teams that have been in runner-up positions in the Premier League are often forgotten by many people because what will be considered great is a team that is able to become champions and is also able to win several trophies in other competitions. But for next season, I think Arsenal will rise with more consistent determination from the start of the season in order to beat all their rivals in the Premier League because Arsenal still has old players and also coach Arteta who generally knows what they have to improve since early next season.

Manchester City have won the Premier League back-to-back in the last two seasons and Arsenal have been back-to-back runners-up in the last two seasons, but there is definitely a difference between the two seasons. Manchester City had a huge points gap with Arsenal in the 2022/23 season and Manchester City celebrated winning the Premier League title earlier that season but not in the 2023–24 season. In the 2023-24 season we saw Arsenal and Manchester City compete till the last match and we got a definite result going into the last match. That is, Arsenal has improved their performance in the last season from last season, if they can improve their performance in the upcoming season, then Arsenal will have a great chance of winning the Premier League title by defeating Manchester City. 

Arsenal are working hard enough and they certainly deserve to win the Premier League title, maybe we can see them celebrate the Premier League title next season.

[len01]

I am not an Arsenal fan so I don't follow every player's progress. I am just surprised by the results that Emile Smith Rowe has achieved so far.

-snip

So, i repeat it again, it's the best decision for the future of his career. I guarantee you that at a team like Fulham, ESR can become a starter. ESR can also regain his level and maybe push for England.

What you said is very true. ERW may not have been prioritized when he was with Arsenal because there were other players who were prioritized whereas at Fulham he would have found a long time to develop his career and get better results.

In my opinion, Fulham just need to polish the talent that ERW has a little to be able to feel the maximum contribution from the player. Because I believe he is actually a reliable player.

[Abu-Naim]

I can't say Chelsea will do well next season because from what I saw it was even worse than they played last season, just hope the signing of players that won't make the 1st eleven will stop and they have to face the reality of the game.

I am having the same thought for Chelsea this season because the coach should not expect these teen ages players he have as new players to compete in the Premier League and win him something in his first season, I have the believe that with time, it will get better just as Arteta's squad gain momentum after one or two seasons.

I will want Chelsea fans to be patient same as the owners because the quick result they are looking for is not easy and can never be achieved with a manager that needs time to adapt to the team and the players to make it in his first season, but subsequently, he can make the team better with amount of young stars he is signing and if he can do like Arteta to come up with a great team in two years time.

In fact, Chelsea's ambition in the transfer market is for change and development of the Club, in the increasingly tight league competition, so it is actually natural that Chelsea is too wasteful in shopping for players, because we know that management sees that Chelsea is far behind their rivals, even though the trial matches are getting  However, in football, a draw is not only about the score, but also about the game and improvements in all lines that are considered lacking, at least the head coach can know what his squad is lacking in terms of play.

[mammusu]

Arsenal are working hard enough and they certainly deserve to win the Premier League title, maybe we can see them celebrate the Premier League title next season.

Arsenal achievements in the last two seasons have shown a significant improvement in performance, in the last two seasons Arsenal were able to provide a lot of resistance to Manchester City, but again we see that all this time their problem has been their consistency and mentality which is still considered very bad so far, two seasons of being title contenders, in fact, two seasons in a row, Aston Villa became the team that succeeded in preventing Arsenal from winner, if you pay attentionin the last two seasons,defeat against Aston Villa made Arsenal have to bury their dream of trophies, so I think Arteta needs to immediately improve the mentality of his players. to be able to face a crucial match which requires them to win the match.

[klidex]

~snip~
It is not surprising that pre-season matches will always be boring and there will be no excitement even though the favorite team is the favorite and like other top EPL teams, Arsenal also find it quite difficult to win. Bournemouth, who will still participate in the EPL next season, is taking this opportunity to find out how to stop Arsenal when they face each other in an official match later. Well, in the end Arsenal won very narrowly on penalties and at least they had to immediately improve their game.

Besides, there's no need to take it too seriously. Friendly matches are just ordinary matches to have fun and train the readiness of the players and also to see the potential of the players. Winning or losing doesn't matter and it doesn't really matter. I know Arsenal is a top club in the Premier League. and they are very favorites to win but it's understandable if they can't create many chances because Mikel Arteta didn't field his best players, only using second tier players.
Even though with this match Bournemouth knows Arsenal's weakness but when it comes to Premier League matches, Arsenal will be more serious if they face Bournemouth and use different strategies.

[barisbilgili]

Arsenal achievements in the last two seasons have shown a significant improvement in performance, in the last two seasons Arsenal were able to provide a lot of resistance to Manchester City, but again we see that all this time their problem has been their consistency and mentality which is still considered very bad so far, two seasons of being title contenders, in fact, two seasons in a row, Aston Villa became the team that succeeded in preventing Arsenal from winner, if you pay attentionin the last two seasons,defeat against Aston Villa made Arsenal have to bury their dream of trophies, so I think Arteta needs to immediately improve the mentality of his players. to be able to face a crucial match which requires them to win the match.

Mentality has been Arsenal's problem in the last 2 seasons, they often lose confidence at the end of the season and lose a lot of points in crucial games and of course that is the mentality but as long as Arteta continues to build this team I think there will be changes or improvements that occur. So for next season I am sure Arsenal will be better regardless of whether they will be able to stop Manchester City's dominance or not but what is certain is that Arsenal will remain a team that competes fiercely in the Premier League title race.

[SatoPrincess]

Many of us say the same thing, Arsenal will be a threat to Manchester City next season yeah in not just a prediction because we know Arsenal have the ability to do it, it's just that so far we haven't seen any more effort from Arsenal to compete with Manchester City I mean Arsenal haven't got any players for the attacking line even though players in this position are really needed. I always keep an eye on the list of new players from Arsenal and so far Arsenal have only brought in one player in the goalkeeper position.

You are right, Arsenal have the ability to take Manchester City down because their squad is also strong, and it always surprises me when I see people underrating Arsenal. I think Arsenal is capable of getting any title regardless of how tough the competition is, just that they always lose performance towards the end of the season, and it always affects them from getting the title.

I think the mentality or luck of winning a title is yet to locate Arsenal. If not, obviously everyone knows that Arsenal is really trying to make it possible for them. However, I think it is not compulsory for Arsenal to get new players because they still have a strong squad that leads them to the top of the table every season, and none of their positions is weak to the extent we are talking about.

I don’t think Arsenal lack the right mentality. Mikel Arteta and the boys have a winning mentality and were so close to winning the EPL last season. Manchester City and Arsenal were toe to toe the entire season. The Gunners slipped in some important games and that cost them dearly. Needless to say was a tight competition. Manchester City were just a little bit better, that’s all. The stats do not lie.

Chelsea, since Todd took over the club, have had this problem of signing players they don't need. Once they hear that Arsenal, Man UTD or even Liverpool are going for a player, they will quickly indicate interest and try to lure the player with money. Look at their squad, you'd see they've got a number of players that haven't seen first team football or even debuted, yet if you hear the amount they used to purchase these players, you'd be surprised that they are being benched.

Chelsea has signed up to ten players since the end of last season. They have bought several players who will not make an appearance for the club, but they are going to sell the players for a profit. I was surprised that Chelsea added more players to their squad aside from the outstanding players they had last season. The Chelsea squad did well last season except the management would like to get more defenders and a midfielder to improve their performance, but they bought more players for every position in the club, who will they bench? At this point, I don't know Chelsea starting eleven because the club has signed many different players and hired a new manager, so there may be a few changes to their starting lineup.

The next season will decide whether Chelsea needs the new manager and the players they sign because if Chelsea does not win a title next season, it will be embarrassing for the club. After all, they have been preparing a big squad as if they were the only team in the Premier League.

[un_rank]

Mentality has been Arsenal's problem in the last 2 seasons, they often lose confidence at the end of the season and lose a lot of points in crucial games and of course that is the mentality but as long as Arteta continues to build this team I think there will be changes or improvements that occur.

Mentality has not been Arsenal's problem, this is like saying everyone who did not win the league had a problem. Arsenal only dropped 5 points in the second half of last season and 2 of those were to the eventual Champions, away from home, that is not a faltering team which lacks mentality, but just a case of another team being better all season.

With the signing of Calafiori, I just need one more midfielder and a back up winger to push Saka. With this and all round improvement from the current players, we will challenge for the title again and can possibly win it.

Chelsea football club have been one of the most decorated team in the transfer window, they get players that they know isn't going to be effective to the team, no contribution but still they waste their resources just to get as much as they want, I mean teenagers, which to me I don't think is even the best way to handle a team such as Chelsea. Their friendly game against Wrexham a division One side played out a 2-2 draw which many of the fans thought Chelsea was going to win without worries and it got me worried that these Chelsea players still haven't changed a bit, same mentality no force, losing possession where they are not suppose to and the coach Enzo Maresca is saying they will concede more goals if they continue to build up from the back, like is that even necessary to build from the back since they know they can't handle the pressure?
 A team that's not as strong as they used to be need to make a different approach to the game with the season coming up in less than 3 weeks and they haven't been as brilliant as the fans wishes to see, fine is just one game but these guys need to improve because they have no time to wait for. I can't say Chelsea will do well next season because from what I saw it was even worse than they played last season, just hope the signing of players that won't make the 1st eleven will stop and they have to face the reality of the game.

Bringing in many young players in the transfer market has become a characteristic of Chelsea today. Because they have done it aggressively since last season. And yes, this method is quite risky. Because the club never knows whether these young players can fulfill the club's hopes or not. It's just that last season Chelsea showed an improvement in the second half of the season. They started the season badly but improved in the second half. I think something similar could happen again. The new young players definitely need adaptation and maybe at the start of the season things can be difficult for Chelsea but I think that Chelsea will improve again in the second half of next season. In pre-season matches I don't think we can make much judgment but yeah last year's pre-season Chelsea looked stronger than now. But because Enzo is now the coach there, we don't know what kind of strategy will be used in the actual season. I hope Chelsea doesn't disappoint again.

It is reported by The Guardian that the Manchester United hierarchy have not demanded a top-four finish from Erik Ten Hag  next season. They say he’s not under pressure to deliver a top-four finish at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are no longer the club they used to be.  If you don’t demand a top-four finish, what then could be the barest minimum demand for success at Manchester United under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. At this point in time, I think Manchester United have given up on the EPL and Champions League. They seem content with just being contenders in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

I think this is good because at least Sir Jim Ratcliffe didn't set the particular target for Ten Hag next season and seems Sir Jim Ratcliffe has learn from Manchester United previous mistakes that he realize to build solid team it cannot be done instantly because everything is must be required the process and with not set high target i think Ten Hag can do a better job but do not forget about the fans because although Sir Jim Ratcliffe said Ten Hag will not be under pressure but i think the fans is demanding Manchester United can finish at higher places compared to last season

Ten Hag has realize the situation why Manchester United performing poorly last season this because during last season Manchester United always be facing injured problem it makes Ten Hag very often to played some of Manchester United reserved players because at that time some of Manchester United key players such as Martinez got long term injured and apparently Ten Hag has been learn from his mistakes and starting to buy some of defender players just in case if next season Manchester United face the same problem

About new players of Manchester United recently their new player Leny Yoro has just make his debut with this team when Manchester United fight against Rangers and i think he was performing well to played as the defender and i am sure Leny Yoro will adapt quickly with Ten Hag strategy and currently Manchester United is look for new right back because this position is still lack of players and they have several candidates names to buy such as Noussair Mazraoui, Denzel Dumfries, Amar Dedic and AS Monaco player Vanderson
