⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

Guardiola's team is much worse than last year. It's only week 8 and they've already lost 2. The absence of Ilkay Gundogan and De Bruyne is obvious. It is also a question mark whether there was a need for so many new players. This is what happens when you play with the genes of the team so much. Last year, man city won those matches with the incredible performance of İlkay Gündoğan, especially in the cl matches with his constant goals and assists. It is obviously bad for manchester city to lose ilkay gündoğan who performs well in high and good matches. Obviously City will not be as dominant as last year.

City were in the lead all this time and no one was talking about their bad game, but as soon as they had a slight decline, people immediately started talking about how bad things were for City. You shouldn’t think that because Gundogan left the team, and De Bruyne now absent due to injury, City have become worse in their play, this is not. Last season, significantly more players left City, Zinchenko, Sterling, Jesus and others, all predicted City's decline because of this, but in the end they won the Premier League and the Champions League, so don't rush to conclusions.

Although it is too early to draw conclusions, we should of course discuss these possibilities if they cannot win the Premier League championship. They lost against Arsenal and had been beaten before that. I think the last time he lost a match for 2 weeks in a row was 2 or 3 years ago. There are things to say about City's current situation, and these things do not end easily. If they lose another point, it will become more serious for Manchester City.

The situation can change any time. The previous season has been giving enough experience to learn about how the situation can change drastically in matters of a few weeks. Arsenal goes from 100 to the zero in a short time.
Manchester city which was not so impressive last season was able going from zero to hero. That proves that if everything can happen in the football. Arsenal and totenham looked so impressive this season but we are still far away from the end of season.
There will be so many schedules to come for arsenal. it will be also giving huge pressures to the players and force them not to be exhausted due to the busy schedules faced by arsenal.
I think that there is still a chance for the table to change again. City is able to go to the top again at the end of season.

Apart from the Chelsea - Arsenal match I'm feeling confident about Manchester City and Liverpool both to win on this week. Because both of these teams have been losing points for 2 weeks. Their next opponents are Brighton and Everton respectively. Brighton are pretty strong team maybe but I don't think they can handle Manchester City in Etihad.

Liverpool technically have an easier match than Manchester City. Because Everton are still no different than their look in the previous season. In Anfield Liverpool should be able to get a comfortable win.

Can we just say that all of the big boys in the Premier League will end up winning their various matches this weekend. Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool but no so sure for Manchester United. Manchester United are so poor that you'll think they've been managed by David Moyes all these while. ( Why do I keep getting them flashbacks? )

Liverpool? That game can only go easy with Liverpool if they want to make it go easy. Derbies are not always easy as we see them. Manchester City though play Brighton who have found difficulty maintaining balance from the Premier League to the Europa League Competition.
Home advantage gives Liverpool the opportunity to break Everton.

There is a Chelsea - Arsenal match closing in on us. What are your thoughts about it?

Personally I think that Chelsea's job is still very difficult in Stamford Bridge despite the progress they made in their last 2 matches. Those wins are important to start believing in themselves more of course. But still they were wins against smaller teams. It is a mystery what they can do in this big match while Arsenal are in great shape. Arsenal got past a bigger obstacle like Manchester City in Emirates. I think that they are the closer side to win the match against Chelsea as well.

Chelsea need more contribution from their attackers. And I feel like this can only happen after Nkunku starts training with the team.

We can use their current performance to predict this match, because Chelsea don't have the strength to achieve victory from Arsenal in this match, because their coach will still apply the same strategy that made them to defeated Manchester city and Manchester united last matches to embraced the points. I believe Chelsea will not allow Arsenal  to use them anyhow the way they are using some big teams in this season than to make the match difficult for them in the first half. This match will determine if Chelsea coach is going to help the team to achieve something good from this season by defeating Arsenal, which I know it will be very difficult for such mistakes to happen Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal Manchester City and Liverpool are the top four teams at the moment who have dominated the League and it is very likely that they can get a win in this weekend match but it is also possible that they fail to get win because they lose lead or draw because in football there are always surprises.
For Tottenham maybe they can get their win by the end of this week and so can Manchester City, but for Arsenal or Liverpool I not so sure.

Regarding Manchester United who are in bad condition it looks like they will be full of difficulties and they even have chance that next season they won't get UCL ticket if there are no significant developments.
Plus at the end of the month they have to face Manchester City which is team with many great players in it, I not sure Manchester United can safely face the match until the end of this month.

Well, I could think that things when they are about how to do Everything Right, well, Pepe is good at that, I don't know why they have Been so Distorted, I think that this Can be seen from the sense of the things that are more common for for City to Show that they are the defending Champions of the UCL, although in my personal opinion , for me the one who should have won was Inter, for me they did much more merit, but hey, that's football, if they play badly now, it's because they show that it was more luck than merit, although this is not Something that has to be seen like that, but if it has to be seen as something that they can support to do better, Pep Guardiola has to do things in the Best way because obviously we are expecting a lot from them , they can't leave Football behind, I don't know what's wrong with them, they could be doing a lot of things to not earn Respect, but who Knows why, I see that Haaland has had many failures here At the moment he did not qualify for the Euro, it is bad, because he is a player who should have led his team better to win, these types of things we can take into consideration due to the Performance they have had with respect to City , no I have seen Haaland shine and that is something serious, for me the best thing is that Pep lets him exploit all of his football and does not take him out when he is well connected.

I Couldn't Believe how Haaland was Going to break Messi's record in Goals , Pep Guariiodla took it, so they are chaos that didn't fit me at all, I don't see the reason why he would do that, in any case I am a good person who respects the designs of a coach like him, he has won UCL, so he should know his reasons, but personally it didn't seem to me , and block the Career and career of a player, that's why I think Madrid should find a way to bring it to them, because I see a Much better future for him there than at City , that's my way of Thinking.

This match will determine if Chelsea coach is going to help the team to achieve something good from this season by defeating Arsenal, which I know it will be very difficult for such mistakes to happen Arsenal.

Without a doubt this is one of the most anticipated matches, I have a lot of faith in Chelsea because it seems to me that they are a team that has been fighting a lot over time and they are players who are giving it much more now, this It is like a reward for the effort that has been coming for some time, of course the coach has also known how to find what he is, because practically he is one of those who has taken this team forward, in addition to the fact that he is going to facing one of the best teams in the world is something that can cause a lot of controversy, and for many it is one of the most crucial matches, in terms of entertainment and a lot of football action, I will think that many fans are waiting for this game for what it can open a lot, I think it will be very difficult for some to do something while the other team is standing still, this is something that will be very good, I don't want to miss it for anything in the world.

How should Chelsea line up against Arsenal?

Chelsea went into the international break on the back of a three-match winning streak in all competitions, but things are about to get very real in a very real hurry as we return to action. Three of the next four in the league are against the current top three, starting with Arsenal at home on Saturday evening.

Unfortunately, despite the two-week break, our injury situation remains a great concern. All eyes are on Reece James, who seemed to hint that he would be ready to play for the first time since the first game of the season, despite a setback at the start of the break. (If he’s not, his backup, Malo Gusto, is also ready to return from a suspension.)

The truth is I'm not sure who I could bet on, because both teams are very good, for me Arsenal is in better shape , but Chelsea has a lot of heart now, I see that, you see that playing like this can achieve many good things.

Chelsea has been slowly showing improvement yet if we refers to the statistic and this club is still long way to go to be in the same level as arsenal. Pochettino won't care so much if chelsea will be losing against arsenal but the club may use it as measurement to know how strong/weak chelsea is right now. This is the main reason if draw won't be a bad result for chelsea. Arsenal is strong like totenham right now but it must be noted that if nothing last forever. Arsenal shall not also underestimate its opponent. The club needs to treat any of its opponents the same.
Havetz will be starting from bench while chelsea may use its best line up since the match will be starting. This match is the hottest match that will be happening soon. Pochettino is trying to make sure everything is well prepared as well as arteta with its club.
Chelsea needs to rediscover its best performance like when it was still under abramovich. Arsenal needs to be careful caused by it will be playing away.

I have seen that if pochettino has been preparing james for the match against arsenal but he is not yet ready due to the injury. Im also doubting malo gusto to play in this game.

Well they've really improved no doubt but the come back win against Burnley before the international break is not enough and they'll need to be consistent in about 4 to 5 matches Before I'll be really convinced they're back to winning ways, their next match is a big text for Pouchettino and it would be very tough for the team cause they're facing a big side that are performing very well,in a derby match and could end up losing the game.

 However I'm not underestimating Chelsea cause they could suprisenly make the game to be in their favour since they'll be playing with a home advantage I'm just giving my opinion based on Arsenal's current performance and comparing their squad with that of Chelsea's, the away team looks more better with a stronger defence, and attack compared to Chelsea's.

 well since the take over of Todd Boehly he's been struggling to take the club back to its glory days and has fired about 3 coaches before Pouchettino, but I feel they're on the right process with Pouchettino and even if they don't really perform well this season they'll be very tough the next season.

Chelsea not completely improved this season and is not much different from last season, but we also cannot confirm whether Chelsea will be able to recover and improve its performance little by little because this season is still long and in terms of appearance, Arsenal is much better when compared to Chelsea in the last two final season.

Even though Chelsea is playing as the home team, this will still be quite a tough match for Chelsea because they are facing a club that has not lost this season and looking at their record of 5 meetings, Arsenal dominates the victory against Chelsea so Arsenal will be the bookies favorite to bet on some money on the Arsenal club and I will also bet on Arsenal in that match.

This will indeed be a tough match for Chelsea because even when facing teams below Arsenal they face difficulties in winning, especially against Arsenal, and the two consecutive wins they managed to get cannot yet show that Chelsea has recovered, because the two teams they lost were teams which is quite weak, especially Burnley.
However, what is interesting is that even though Arsenal are the favorites to win this match, they have quite big odds in my opinion @ 2.23 and Chelsea @ 3.20, and a draw @ 3.15 on the betting market. If you are quite sure that Arsenal will win then immediately betting on the money line will be quite profitable, but I think a draw is still possible because of course, Chelsea don't want to disappoint their fans again at Stamford Bridge where this season they have lost twice at home and that is very painful for Chelsea who is struggling to recover from last season's downturn.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Chelsea vs Arsenal can be a pretty nice game to watch for us. It is actually up to how productive Chelsea can be at the same time. Because Chelsea haven't been good at scoring multiple goals in a game most of the time. Their last two performances in the league games were quite impressive though but none of them was against a top team.

I'm not sure if they are ready for a big challenge like Arsenal. Currently Arsenal and Tottenham are doing incredible work in the league together. Even though the game is in Stamford Bridge I'm leaning towards betting on Arsenal to win anyway. The odds of 2.26 are just very tempting.  

[Salahmu]

Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal Manchester City and Liverpool are the top four teams at the moment who have dominated the League and it is very likely that they can get a win in this weekend match but it is also possible that they fail to get win because they lose lead or draw because in football there are always surprises.

This season has been so favourable for Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool so I agree with you that the premier League this season belongs to any of the club because there performance this season has gone way more than other clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United etc.

But there would be a serious competition among the four listed team because Tottenham Hotspur will always try all there possible best to maintain there first place on the table while others will also be making an effort to lead the table.

However I think Manchester City or Arsenal will be the last team standing on wining the premier League because they both have the highest performance on this premier League season and stance the chance of wining it.

[JeffBrad12]

There is a Chelsea - Arsenal match closing in on us. What are your thoughts about it?

Personally I think that Chelsea's job is still very difficult in Stamford Bridge despite the progress they made in their last 2 matches. Those wins are important to start believing in themselves more of course. But still they were wins against smaller teams. It is a mystery what they can do in this big match while Arsenal are in great shape. Arsenal got past a bigger obstacle like Manchester City in Emirates. I think that they are the closer side to win the match against Chelsea as well.

Chelsea need more contribution from their attackers. And I feel like this can only happen after Nkunku starts training with the team.

We can use their current performance to predict this match, because Chelsea don't have the strength to achieve victory from Arsenal in this match, because their coach will still apply the same strategy that made them to defeated Manchester city and Manchester united last matches to embraced the points.

We can't really rely upon the current performances from both of team to determine the result. Chelsea is still unbeatable since the last three games but arsenal is also unbeatable since the first game of EPL this season. There may be a slightly change to happen on chelsea's side. It's caused by the club was missing some RB like reece james and malo gusto due to the injury. This forces chelsea to put alternative solution to fill that position. I don't know who is the most potential player to play as RB for chelsea.

I believe Chelsea will not allow Arsenal  to use them anyhow the way they are using some big teams in this season than to make the match difficult for them in the first half. This match will determine if Chelsea coach is going to help the team to achieve something good from this season by defeating Arsenal, which I know it will be very difficult for such mistakes to happen Arsenal.

Chelsea's mission to prevent arsenal from winning the game but this is an impossible thing right now. I meant let's take a look at how arsenal was always beating chelsea two times last season. The same result probably to happen again. We are still far away from the end of season.
Im not willing to take a conclusion for the thing that remains unclear at this moment. Arsenal can also being trophyless again. Remember this club is always having weak mentality at the late game.

[el kaka22]

Honestly Arsenal has to win this game if they want to win the title, there is nothing that is looking good about Chelsea these days and I feel like it wouldn't really be anything that would make them lose in this game. Chelsea is just way too bad and they do not have a way out neither, with too many managers and too many transfers, they still couldn't figure out what's wrong with the team and they are going to end up being worse.

The mistakes started with firing Tuchel, they shouldn't have done that to begin with and I believe that we are going to end up with something that would be a little over the top and shouldn't really worry about it at all. I think it is going to end up with anything good for them in this game.

I think so. Big teams these days seem to be in a hurry to find faults in their clubs and are too quick to take steps to dismiss someone in order to fix the slump. However, adjusting playing styles and adapting to the league takes time. I'm starting to feel that big teams don't truly value the process of finding a club's best form. Giving individuals a chance isn't wrong, as everyone might need time, including Thomas Tuchel.

We know that not everyone can kick off their careers on the right foot, but the key is that once they've had ample time to adapt, they have a good opportunity to find the right team composition.

But Chelsea seems to be turning things around recently, as evidenced by their consecutive victories in the last three matches, particularly against Fulham, which had a strong start to this season.

While in the process of performance recovery, for now, it appears that Chelsea isn't capable of defeating Arsenal in the London derby.

[Distraction]

Chelsea need this win even more than Arsenal these days. They started the season really terrible and they are desperate to improve their form. They can't get consistent goal contribution from their forward players unfortunately. Indeed they have been quite well for a couple of weeks.

But it is still early to trust Chelsea in my opinion. Moreover Arsenal have been dominant against Chelsea in their last 3 head-to-heads too. They won all of them.

There is a quite big performance gap between these teams this season. As long as Arteta make his players fully ready for the match I don't expect them to get a surprising result.

The game is a 50/50 game for both Arsenal and Chelsea. But without siding either if the clubs since I'm neutral, Arsenal should win. If they could run down Manchester City with a goal. It might seem lucky but still, they have the potentials of winning the game tommorow.
Chelsea needs the win but they will not get it against Arsenal only if important defender's gets Injured.

Winning Arsenal, a side better than they are should be a good idea so they could use that too boost them confidence.

No excuses would be entertained, it's either a wine from any sides of draw. Pochetino has experienced difficulty winning Arsenal as a manager of Tottenham Hotspur, he would still lose again as he faces Arsenal for the first time with Chelsea tommorow.

Chelsea will really have a big task ahead today because defeating Arsenal will be one big thing to do,I think it will really be a hard nut to crack because we all see how Arsenal have grown in the last couple of seasons ago,and looking at Statistics,it only shows that Arsenal have more advantage in this game than Chelsea because in their last  three meetings at Standford Bridge, Arsenal have always be winning,and therefore I ask think history is still saying that Arsenal still have an edge over Chelsea in this game.
But what I'm Still surprised about is the odd they've given to Arsenal in this game which is about 2.15 odds,and the last time they gave them this kind of odd was against City which they won.Therefore we would see how this game would end.

However, what is interesting is that even though Arsenal are the favorites to win this match, they have quite big odds in my opinion @ 2.23 and Chelsea @ 3.20, and a draw @ 3.15 on the betting market. If you are quite sure that Arsenal will win then immediately betting on the money line will be quite profitable, but I think a draw is still possible because of course, Chelsea don't want to disappoint their fans again at Stamford Bridge where this season they have lost twice at home and that is very painful for Chelsea who is struggling to recover from last season's downturn.

looking at Arsenal's odds which @ 2.23 are big enough odds so many will favor Arsenal in this match. Indeed, we can't predict whether Arsenal will be able to beat Chelsea in an away match, but I'm sure Arsenal will do it seriously to be able to get points and be able to win. is in first place, especially since Arsenal is in their best performance this season, but it is possible that Chelsea will give a surprise in this match, even though it is impossible, it could happen because there are always surprises in every match. Taking points from Arsenal is very important for Chelsea at this time to improve their position.

I think that win by Arsenal over Manchester City in Emirates could be an indicator of a thing for this season. I mean Arsenal might maintain the title competition until the final week this time. You know how they fought for it last season for a long time. However they started a really bad streak on the final weeks which eased Manchester City's job a lot.

This time Arsenal seem even more dedicated at least for now. Winning against Manchester City in a big game isn't easy normally.

I completely agree with you because that was what Arsenal failed to do last season and it cost them to lose
the Premier League trophy to Manchester City. But to see Arsenal win over Manchester City at home indicates that Arsenal might win the league if Manchester City continues with their current form. Arsenal should keep on winning their games to have a very big point different from Manchester City before Kevin De Bruyne comes back from injury.
 

On the other hand Tottenham are also likely to join this duo in the title competition if they go on like this. Ange Postecoglou has made a lot of progress so far. 

I don't believe Tottenham has what it takes to win the Premier League trophy even with their current form. Tottenham is a club that always has a good start in EPL but as time proceeds they start struggling to win games.
