Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Marvell1]

There is Arsenal and Liverpool and Aston Villa and Manchester City. But there are still some teams behind that waiting for their chance.

Aston Villa have a really good chance to go to the top of the table if they can win Sheffield and then Arsenal and Liverpool draw points. Aston Villa should win their game, Sheffield are no match for them in the premier league, Sheffield are 20th on the EPL ranking this season, and then looking at the form that Aston Villa play with at home, I cannot see any hope for Sheffield to win this game unless of course Aston Vila underrate them and then decide to take this game unserious.

I remember how it took Manchester City 88 minutes until they were able to win the game against Sheffield United and nobody thought that it would be that hard for Manchester City to win the game. That is why I would be more cautious with absolute statements like "Sheffield are no match for them". The match must be played first and then we can see what's possible. I agree that if the game goes as the table standings suggest, this should not be one of the harder games for Aston Villa. But this is something to keep in mind, the closer Aston Villa gets to the top, the more might kick in the mental burden as well as expectations start growing.

In this match Sheffield United will want to draw the match. So they will play completely defensive from the beginning of the match. Aston Villa players must be very careful in this match. If somehow the Sheffield United players manage to score the first goal of this match, it will be much more difficult for the Aston Villa players to come back. All Sheffield United players will play the role of defenders in this match. Because the defense of this team is weak. It is not easy to score against such defensive gameplay. Aston Villa players must play attacking from the start of the match and dominate the match. If not, Aston Villa is afraid of losing points in this match.

[Strongkored]

Aston Villa is only 1 point behind Arsenal at the top of the points table. We never imagined seeing this team at the top of the table. Villa have lost three matches this season and drawn only two. If Aston Villa can win against Sheffield United in today's match, they have a chance to take the top spot in the points table for the first time this season.

Aston Villa's past record against Sheffield United is not good. Aston Villa have won just one of their last 5 matches against Sheffield. And lost in two matches. And so the players of Aston Vulla have to play very carefully in today's match. Although Sheffield United have been in a very weak position this season, Aston Villa are likely to lose points if they make any mistakes.

There is a very big chance for Aston Villa to win the match, even though in the last five meetings Aston Villa did not have good statistics against Sheffield, but my predictions that will not have an effect because currently, the two teams are quite different, where Aston Villa is in a very good trend with wins in a row and also defeating two strong teams became their big capital that this season they became a team with very good progress and became one of the contenders for the title, meanwhile, Sheffield is a team that is very difficult to win against any team.
However, Aston Villa will only occupy the top of the standings temporarily because my prediction is that the match between Liverpool vs Arsenal will not end in a draw but one team will get 3 points and Liverpool has the greatest chance of winning so they will take over again at the top of the standings.

For Manchester United this is another big and important game and I think this is especially true for ten Hag. If he wins it, he will again manage to stay close to the qualifiers for the UEFA competitions, but if he loses he will drop further. Against one of the closest competitors in the league now another loss would be devastating and could trigger the bosses to make some decision before this year ends.

The UEFA Champions League have become the main ultimate target of every elite clubs in these European leagues. Manchester United will face Westham United this weekend, who's wining? Remember the Hammers got humiliated 5-1 from Liverpool and I see everything wrong to watch pure defeats coming on the track of Manchester United. I hope Erik Ten Hag is planning solid position to ensure his side is base on winning every matches that crossed their path because the fans can't stand to watch the Red Devils lose another game.

Manchester United is currently at the seventh spot with their performance is unpredictable, and they are having many internal issues as well but still they have time and quality to jump from here to in top ranks but for this they need to have solid strategy and better conditions at the dressing room without this we can expect better results which are important for the having chance for next season's Champions League few teams are doing good job and have much better chances which is going to be competitive for them as well.

Erik ten Hag is under tremendous pressure for having better results, but his own strategy is not helping his team which is surely wired situation for him and his management, but if he is not able to have anything positive in coming matches then surely we can expect another change here in this club.

[Pulsar77]

Aston Villa have a really comfortable match today. Sheffield Utd are one of the worst teams in the league this season. They have the weakest defense with 43 goals conceded in 17 matches as well. Aston Villa should be able to destroy them by at least a multiple goal difference. Winning this match will help them be the new leader in the league as well.

They will hope for Liverpool vs Arsenal match to end in a draw to be able to finish the week in the 1st place. Maybe that match could really end in a draw as these teams are both very powerful.

United surprised everyone with their poor performance, this is not the result we all anticipated from the club. Manchester United are in mess currently, the fans understands the problem the club is facing and they work on improving the club's performance. Solid strategy have been activated and Erik Ten Hag is very careful when it involves the affairs of the club. Manchester United can become unpredictable prior to their current stats in matches. Erik Ten Hag just have to do what he intends to do because he's the manager and anything regarding the results scored in previous and present matches, he will be held responsible.

I remember how it took Manchester City 88 minutes until they were able to win the game against Sheffield United and nobody thought that it would be that hard for Manchester City to win the game. That is why I would be more cautious with absolute statements like "Sheffield are no match for them". The match must be played first and then we can see what's possible.

Aston Villa players must play attacking from the start of the match and dominate the match. If not, Aston Villa is afraid of losing points in this match.

I don't see such a scenario being considered by Sheffield United against Aston Villa, I mean they won't sacrifice themselves just to give Arsenal or Liverpool a better chance. Sheffield have conceded 43 goals in 17 games this season, so I don't think parking the bus can help them prevent conceding. They will have to play openly and try to give their best throughout the game, but if the aim is to prevent Aston Villa from leading the table then Sheffield might consider your scenario.

Aston Villa has a great opportunity to lead the standings while waiting for the results of the match between Arsenal vs Liverpool. Aston Villa must win and make good use of this opportunity because the match against Sheffield is the most logical match for them to win compared to their two previous wins against Manchester City and Arsenal.

Sheffield is going to have a hard game against Aston Villa because currently, Aston Villa is in the good form in which they can easily beat the stronger teams than Sheffield United.
Aston Villa won the games against Manchester City and Arsenal in the last weeks and since we know Sheffield is not a strong team like the two teams I think it is worth it to bet on Aston Villa for this match.

Betting on Aston Villa is not only safe but also has a high win rate and Sheffield should be alert considering that Aston Villa is really in an aggressive condition this season. Unexpectedly, Aston Villa was able to silence Manchester City and Arsenal at home. So now Aston Villa will host Sheffield also at home with their home record there is no hope for the visiting club to come away with points.

[rendravolt]

I think this will be Brighton's first away win after losing their previous two away games. In fact, De Zerbi's squad still hasn't been able to win again and they can only share 1 point with Crystal Palace. The same 1-1 draw means both teams are not moving at all in the standings and I think that is better than not getting any points at all.

Statistically, Brighton controlled the game and they also dominated in terms of the opportunities available. But it is true that Crystal Palace was not an easy opponent for them to beat and actually Brighton conceded first. However, fortunately in the 82nd minute Danny Wellbeck was able to equalize the score so that Brighton did not lose points in this match. I think coach De Zerbi's magic is starting to erode and he can't be as consistent as before, is his genius that most people complain about so much starting to disappear?

[Dzwaafu11]

The 18th round has started and the first match took place today between Crystal Palace vs Brighton and this match was home match for Crystal Palace but they failed to win and only ended in 1 - 1 draw, this result is quite natural because Brighton is also good team strong.

The match between Crystal Palace and Brighton was not much surprising to me since both teams are strong, although for the first place before the game started, I was thinking Crystal Palace would beat Brighton since they do much better than Brighton and they are at home, so I was thinking Crystal Palace would use the advantage of home to beat Brighton, which they failed to do.

It seems that in the 18th round there will be surprise where there will be shift in position in the standings for the top teams and of course the most interesting thing is the Liverpool vs Arsenal match because both have difference of 1 point.
If Liverpool wins, it is possible that Arsenal will go down because Liverpool is in first place and Aston Villa will play Sheff Utd, if Aston Villa wins, Arsenal will be in 3rd place.
This is pretty hot round in the match schedule because it really affects every top-ranked team in shifting positions.

Yes. Normally, some teams will drop from their position in the standings and leave it for another team in this round because many teams that are not performing well have started getting stronger. However, I think Arsenal and Liverpool are the top teams, which are the first and second, but mind you, I don’t think Arsenal will leave that position to Liverpool again like they did a few days ago, which was unable to secure the position. For a long time, which made me believe that even this one Arsenal will remain there, Liverpool cannot take that position, and Arsenal will try their possible best to remain there either.
 
However, I don’t know what makes you believe that Arsenal will even be in third place even if their points drop. Arsenal's performance is great, and they beat any team currently in the Premier League competition, so why do you think Arsenal will drop to that extent?

Holla;
Halla;
Holla;
Aston villa to the moon. I mean this is a great opportunity for Aston villa to climb the top of the English premier League table after several decades. Aston villa will not want to miss this opportunity and believe me, they are in a very good form and they can do it.

Their opponents are in a pity situation and I do not think that they have the ability to resist Aston Villa who initially surprised Manchester City and Arsenal. I am solidly behind Emry and his boys. He is a good wonder coach.

Chelsea spent lost money for hiring Enzo Fernández and he was the most expensive player of Chelsea when he joined the team because Chelsea spent 121 million euros for this Argentinian player.
While the fans of Cheslea were expecting to see a perfect performance from this player but he failed and even in the game they recently had against Newcastle, Pochettino the coach of Cheslea took him out of the game 30 minutes after the start of this match while Newcastle was about to win with the goal they scored.
Enzo Fernández was clearly unhappy but Pochettino made his decision.

Man Utd poor performance can be partly attributed to injury to some of their key players and drop in form to some players like Rashford, Martial as well as Onana consistent errors in crucial matches, I think all those factors contributed to the poor performance of the club this season, honestly the club is truly unpredictable judging by their last match against Liverpool a lot of pundits and analyst had predicted a massive loss against Liverpool when Erik ten Hag released the list of players to play at Anfield which comprised of young inexperience players like Minoo, Ganacho yet those youngsters stood their ground and played to earned a draw.

The fact that Crystal Palace ended up drawing with Brighton surprised me much. I had assumed that Brighton would win because of their superior performance and even their current standing. I also believe that Crystal Palace is capable of more because of their current style of play and their refusal to give up on any team. Brighton made a mistake by drawing with Crystal Palace because they will not be able to get a point before Christmas.

I believe this week's games will be different and we should know the kind of games we will bet because giving trust to these teams can sometimes be very risky, like Brighton has already made people lose their bets. Therefore, my advice to anyone who wants to bet is to just bet on win or draw this week, as I think that will be better than losing. I see many people betting on Brighton to defeat Cr Palace, some even betting on Brighton over 2.

Aston Villa going head to head against the only team that almost every team in the EPL are using to get all 3 point, talking about "The Blades" (Sheffield UTD). The visitors has been trying to get things right but the EPL is like a different planet and they have to look for a way to adapt quickly and getting points if not they'll be going back to the championship.
Unai Emery and his boys are not in any way going to lose any game especially this fixture tonight since they're getting very close to the league leaders (Arsenal).
I expect Aston Villa to not just get all 3point but as well humiliate the visitors, because to make a statement to be at the top you have to make your next opponent be scared of you, so I'm saying Villa should use the visitors to set an example. With Villa having one of the deadliest attacker (Watkins) in the EPL I believe they can get more goals in tonight's game.

Aston villa will definitely embrace victory from Sheffield united in this match, because their results so far from the beginning of this season showed that they will achieve pretty goals both first half and second half from Sheffield united to frustrate their efforts and plans in this season. Many teams have used Sheffield united to improve their points and to make them have good results which Aston villa who have dominated well in some matches will also use this opportunity to achieve three points that will make them to remain in the third position for their manager to get more honor from their fans and other people that found the positive performance in Aston villa in this season.

At this point I feel for the Sheffield UTD side because it seems they don't have anything to offer in the EPL other than sharing points like EPL Santa. But we shouldn't write them off yet, because I believe they can turn the table around, like we all know, anything can happen in the world of football.
The visitors can make Aston Villa play a bad football that would favor them, so my fear for the home side is if they underrate their opponent they might lose the game but let's hope for more entertaining football tonight.

[Velvet78]

Manchester United have a really tough fixture these days. Their next game is an away one against West Ham tomorrow. West Ham are below their opponent in the standings maybe but this shouldn't misguide you. Because their recent form is way better than the Red Devils. Bookmakers are also favouring West Ham for the win in this game.

But the gap of odds is a small one of course. This is a game that could end up with every kind of a result. West Ham have just been destroyed by Liverpool in the EFL Cup so I'm curious about their morale. But I think they won't lose this game.

[Rockstarguy]

There is Arsenal and Liverpool and Aston Villa and Manchester City. But there are still some teams behind that waiting for their chance.

Aston Villa have a really good chance to go to the top of the table if they can win Sheffield and then Arsenal and Liverpool draw points. Aston Villa should win their game, Sheffield are no match for them in the premier league, Sheffield are 20th on the EPL ranking this season, and then looking at the form that Aston Villa play with at home, I cannot see any hope for Sheffield to win this game unless of course Aston Vila underrate them and then decide to take this game unserious.

That is why I would be more cautious with absolute statements like "Sheffield are no match for them". The match must be played first and then we can see what's possible. I agree that if the game goes as the table standings suggest, this should not be one of the harder games for Aston Villa. But this is something to keep in mind, the closer Aston Villa gets to the top, the more might kick in the mental burden as well as expectations start growing.

Manchester City were not just lucky in that game against Sheffield United,  it can  be a total different game for Aston villa which they may likely win the game, looking at the performance of Sheffield United performance it is very common they end up losing their games always. Aston Villa playing against Sheffield United it will be an advantage for Aston Villa to gain a full point.

Arsenal vs Liverpool game will be very interesting interesting game that might seems difficult for arsenal, this game might end up to be a draw game.  Aston Villa has more chances of leading the league this week.

Aston Villa have a really comfortable match today. Sheffield Utd are one of the worst teams in the league this season. They have the weakest defense with 43 goals conceded in 17 matches as well. Aston Villa should be able to destroy them by at least a multiple goal difference. Winning this match will help them be the new leader in the league as well.

They will hope for Liverpool vs Arsenal match to end in a draw to be able to finish the week in the 1st place. Maybe that match could really end in a draw as these teams are both very powerful.

Apart from the easy match for Aston Villa today, Aston Villa's hopes in the quite crucial match between Liverpool vs Arsenal are also very big if Aston Villa wants to sit in first place after winning today's match or after the Liverpool vs Arsenal match. It will be a very interesting match because this very close points competition will make the three teams play as well as possible in order to get full points after the match is over because when equally strong teams in the Premier League face each other in a match, it will trigger enthusiasm from the very large audience.

[Iroh]

Betting on Aston Villa is not only safe but also has a high win rate and Sheffield should be alert considering that Aston Villa is really in an aggressive condition this season. Unexpectedly, Aston Villa was able to silence Manchester City and Arsenal at home. So now Aston Villa will host Sheffield also at home with their home record there is no hope for the visiting club to come away with points.

It’s safe to assume Aston Villa would come out victorious in the game against Sheffield hence it could be considered safe to place bets on them.
They surprisingly were able to hold down and win top dogs, Man City and Arsenal. That’s a team with enough grit and determination to win then and it likely won’t be difficult to win Sheffield now. But with football, the outcome could be totally different than predicted.

Aston Villa playing at home could strengthen their resolve to win the game. They’ve got to win all the games they can to remain amongst the top four in the table.

I wonder if Arsenal regret their decision to replace Unai Emery with Mikel Arteta as the manager of Arsenal. Unai Emery has somehow transformed Villa Park into a solid fortress for Aston Villa this season, and even both Manchester City and Arsenal could not avoid a defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park stadium. I think Aston Villa will beat Sheffield United relatively easily today in front of their home fans.

We should get this clear, every coach knows how strong and far they can go in a club that appoints them as coach, the appointment of Unai Emery in Arsenal was different, compare to the his appointment for the La Liga side, Villarreal and currently Aston Villa. Unai Emery is having one of the best moments managing the Villans this season. You're bringing back the past. Gunners didn't regret any bit of sacking Unai Emery from the manager position, afterall he was having poor records for the club and that was the chance Arsenal was unwillingly to take. Bringing in Mikel Arteta and they have patience with him, now look how the club have turn around for the better despite their inability to lift any major trophy yet.
