Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[len01]

Aston Villa was begging for draw points against an average side like Sheffield United, where everyone anticipated that the Villans would have beaten them so easily. Sometimes I wonder how this football actions comes to past because you can not tell me how Aston Villa manage to win two elite clubs in a row, Manchester City and Arsenal and now they struggle to meet up points with Sheffield United. Does that seems concerning? I've absolutely nothing to say because this was their chance to top Manchester City but with the look of things and how everything might pan out to be, there will be no active engagement coming from Aston Villa.

maybe a little OOT but this is just an example that this situation is very normal as in the series A Milan ended in a draw against Selernitana whereas this opponent was just a team from below the relegation zone just like Aston Villa who played against Sheff Utd Aston Villa should have won but in fact they shared the score with Sheff Utd and ended in a draw.

and previously I said that Aston Villa would not necessarily be able to beat Sheff Utd because sometimes the teams at the bottom of the relegation zone are surprising and sometimes the small teams know the gaps or weaknesses of the top teams so it is normal for this to happen and if we are talking about Aston Villa beating Man City and Arsenal is it Aston Villa being able to get title in the EPL is very impossible because from this match we can see whether Aston Villa deserves to be the leader in the EPL despite their inconsistent performance and for me a team that will be the leader until the end of the season has consistent performance and doesn't look as strong no matter how small the opponent is, they will still win, but Aston Villa cannot beat this mediocre team.

Westham United Vs Manchester United
I think we have discussed much about Aston Villa and Sheffield United match tonight and it is quite unfortunate for Aston Villa as they were unable to climb at the top of the English Premier League table and in the other hand Sheffield United was fortunate to escape the last spot in the English Premier League table. Let us quickly divert our attention to today's match between Manchester United and West Ham United. What do you think will be the outcome? We understand that West Ham have not been performing greatly of recent. Do you think that they will extend their poor performance to Manchester United or they will decide to have a great performance against Manchester United.

It is a little difficult to predict this match, Manchester United and WestHam are with a point difference, it would be very reasonable to say Westham is inconsistent because this team is more often in the mid-table while in contrast to Manchester United, which should be able to compete with other top teams, this team has always experienced setbacks and Erik Ten Hag still cannot do anything this season.

I feel the result will be a draw and both teams will definitely score maybe it's better to bet than relying on winning bets this is a little more difficult and it could be Westham who will win because playing at times because the odds are not much different so I think make your betting choices in this match.

THIS IS THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE!!!
Aston Villa made their forte a fortress and ensured that they took maximum points against Manchester city and Arsenal only to drop 2 points at home to sheffield united. Can only happen in the EPL and thats why the EPL is the biggest league in the world.

Now its up to Liverpool or Arsenal to claim the first point when they meet!!!

Everyone knows how tense and fierce the competition is in the Premier League every season, so no one has to shout to say that here. Because Aston Villa's hope in today's home match is to win, but it is very unfortunate that Aston Villa was only able to draw at home with Sheffield United. Even then, Aston Villa almost lost because they were only able to equalize in the final minutes of the match, although overall Aston Villa was able to control the ball quite well, but the defense built by Sheffield United was also not that bad. So Sheffield United was able to take the lead over the home team.

All soccer fans now English Premier League is one of the most fierce league in soccer world where things can take change at any time with any team, and we have same thing in this match with Aston Villa which is currently second in the league table held at home by bottom side of the league table, and they were completely unable to score goal in regular time with concede a goal in 87th minute which was levelled by Aston Villa into 99 minute and their luck works which allow them to have one point which keep them at the second spot.

Sheffield United which is one of the weakest side into Premier League done impressive work and never allow high-flying Aston Villa for having anything positive and things like these can happen only in English Premier League which is competitive and challenging.

Sheffield United's defensive strategy is working in their favour because Aston Villa is finding it very hard to play into the Sheffield united box because every ball sent there is sent away almost immediately. If Sheffield can keep their cool and kerp their defensive line as deep as it has been, I'm sure that they can earn a point here at the Villa park.

Sheffield is up 0-1 OMG!

Lol this is so shocking because when I checked the result for a second it was 1-0 for Aston Villa, but now I realize that goal was denied via VAR I think?

But they were able to tie the game in the last minute, though this is still a disappointing result for them for sure and that is why I am against saying that this game should be easy because they are at the top of the table and Sheffield is at the bottom. What a bummer for Aston Villa.

While everything was going well, I wonder what happened to Aston Villa? I was very confident that they would win easily, but even the draw was achieved with a goal in the last seconds. They were injured on their way to the championship by gaining 1 point. They are now playing their matches as championship candidates. Aston Villa is one of the teams playing at the highest level this year.

What is so shocking about the result is that Aston Villa was the strongest team at home in the Premier League and they have give a roasting to Manchester City when they won 1-0, but with such a dominance that I asked myself whether it is possible at all to steal points from Aston Villa at home. But in this game they did not play very well. They had only four shots on target and 11 shots on total, but against Manchester City they had 22 shots and 7 shots on target. I don't know why they could not perform better than that, but it seemed as if they were carrying some extra weight during that game. It was not the Aston Villa I knew from before.

Seeing how Manchester United can beat Chelsea, I think they will able to win against West Ham since Manchester United has good stats in terms head to head, Manchester United win 19 times from 33 matches. West Ham was suffer a bad result in their last match, so they're not really that strong anymore.

Bruno will playing and I don't see Rashford on the lineup, so this will give a chance for Antony, Garnacho and Hojlund to play without ego.

Am just glad I didn’t get to take that game for a live bet because I nearly did. Just how did these guys after about 85 minutes of game play came with no goals on the score sheet came ip with 2 goals in less than 5 minutes. The goal market was something I was looking at for a bet but, I’m glad to have kept my cool though.

Something I liked about the game though, how the referee came to the right conclusion in his decision making. Especially in the Aston Villa first disallowed goal from Bailey. It would have been yet another VAR flaw should the goal had been allowed to say d as the goalkeeper was clearly withheld.
Sheffield had a good game I must say, coming up get a draw out of this dull.

I took a bet in this game because I knew Aston Villa would win easily and it would not be difficult to get goals but it was beyond prediction Sheffield was able to hold a draw and certainly a little disappointed with this result. Damn it 

I don't know what to make of the referee's decision, maybe it was right or a VAR error? What is clear is that this goal has been disallowed by the referee.

Sheffield can only defend and that's good enough until the end, well bored is quite clear especially without a goal until the 85th minute.

Most of the time while a team is performing good for the specific time peoples not dare to check history and goes against them which is terrible same happen in today match now I watch many complaining about this but if they are able to check history then surely things can be understandable in last ten games now we have four draws four wins for the Sheffield United and two wins for the Aston Villa which is clearly indicating this is going to be not easy game for the host club so happen as well.

Even we have mostly Aston Villa in strong position, and they were completely controlling this match as well but still not able to have a goal in 90 minutes and concede one in 88th minute with having equalizer into 98th minute which give them one priceless point.

Manchester City performed much better as they managed to score 4 goals without Haaland.  Julian Alvarez managed to score a pair of goals with the magic of his feet alone. Manchester City's attack was very difficult as the opposing Fluminense team was very weak. The players of Fluminense team could not make a hard attack and the goalkeeper of Manchester City was able to prevent it easily. Manchester City's defense and goalkeepers in particular are so strong that they perform well against other clubs. Those who bet on Manchester City easily won the bet as Manchester City performed well here in the main.

Manchester City was already given the bigger odds in this match because with all indications Fluminense will not have an edge over them. From the goalkeeper, to the defenders, to the midfielders and finally the strikers of Manchester City did exceptionally well and their opponent could not absorb all of that pressure and gave in. This is not a match to be wondered about, Manchester City won the match and they showed the hardwork that gave them the winning.

The major challenge Manchester city have in this period, is in the area of strikers because since De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and other players started experiencing injuries they begin to reduce points  especially in the premier league table.  I think, Manchester city has potential squads in the team which even though Erling Haaland is not on ground and there are other players on bench who can handle his position before he recover which is what is happening now in some matches. I believe Manchester city will use home advantage to embrace victory from  Brentford in their home to increase to third position because they will not allow Brentford to take advantage of them in this match.

[Strongkored]

Aston Villa does not have the good mentality to be in first place, their performance is sometimes unpredictable, even though they were previously able to appear surprising, this draw was not the expected result because Shef Utd should have been able to be beaten easily knowing that Shef Utd is a weak club. However, I hope Aston Villa will not repeat mistakes like this when competing against weak teams and can take advantage of the upcoming matches so they can compete with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the standings.

You may be right, less mentality is the main factor for Aston Villa so they are unable to maximize the opportunity to lead the standings even if only temporarily, in fact in this match they almost lost if Zoniolo didn't score a goal in injury time, with this result making Liverpool and Arsenal too Manchester City happy because the point difference is still narrow between each other, what would be disappointing would be if Aston Villa were unable to maintain their performance and slowly started to leave the top four positions.
It's quite disappointing for Aston Villa who almost controlled 80% of the ball possession but had very few attempts, and for Sheffield being able to get 1 point in an away match is very good even though they haven't been able to get out of the relegation zone because the point difference with Nottingham Forest is quite far, namely 5 points and with an advantage 1 match yet to be played for Forest.

So the government of England wants to create a new law to force teams not to play in the ESL.

Only they can do it since they are not in the EU.

It seems difficult to prevent this. Real Madrid and Barcelona are determined about the Super League and they have a just cause. English clubs will also participate in this in some way. Maybe it won't happen in 2-3 years, but we will see this league being established in the coming years.

Premier League team Manchester City won the Club World Cup. Even though they had a bad time in the league, they still won a cup, I'm sure we will see them recover in the league in the coming days. It's obvious that Pep is not happy with the current situation. He will do something to fix this.

Most of the time good things take time for having, so for me this Super League is also going to take time, but we will have this in coming years and many English clubs will join Real Madrid and Barcelona which could be good.

Manchester City won their 5th title into 2023 which is good as now they are ending their year on high note, and they thrash all sides in this Club World Cup which is now also regular event of soccer world in Saudi Deserts, but now it's time for the champions to take look into their performance in English Premier League as they are at 4th spot and things are going out of the control for them if they are not going to have positive change in coming days.

One thing I love about this season is the level of competition among teams in the top four,and not only teams in the top four,the entire premier league teams.All the teams from the first position are not using too much gap to pass the others,For instance,Arsenal are topping the table,with one point,and Aston Villa are sitted second with same point, Liverpool third,a point from the team sitting first and second,and then City fourth,three points behind Liverpool,that is to say a little drop inform by any of these teams,the team behind will quickly overtake.And for City,they've had a poor start to the season so far compared to the other seasons,but they are still capable of winning the league despite sitting fourth on the table.

The competition is fiercer and more even this season, which makes everything more interesting and less boring. But a small difference in points can also mean that changes to clubs at the top of the standings will continue to occur quickly. Man City also certainly still has a big chance with the current point difference. But if Man City does not improve in the next matches then this could make Man City lose the opportunity to regain the top ranking.

I actually never thought that Aston Villa would be ranked 2nd this season, even if only temporarily. In fact, Aston Villa is also more productive than Arsenal because the number of goals Aston Villa has is also slightly more. But unfortunately Aston Villa also doesn't have a strong enough defense which means they also have a record of conceding quite a lot of goals. So Arsenal is still at the top of the standings because of this difference. I personally also look forward to Spurs joining the title race. Because when Maddison comes I think Tottenham will improve again.

[Chilwell]

The opportunity to be able to sit at the top of the standings like this will fail to be maximized by Aston Villa.
They played very well but in the end the results were not too expected they were confused to make several efforts that were even difficult to penetrate because Sheffield's defense was quite good and could even score first with just a few chances they had fortunately Aston Villa managed to equalize the score thanks to Zaniolo at 90+7.

Currently the match is still ongoing because extra time is given long enough but with the time conditions getting tight it looks like they will only get 1 point in this match and fail to be at the top of the standings that many people expect.

Aston Villa was begging for draw points against an average side like Sheffield United, where everyone anticipated that the Villans would have beaten them so easily. Sometimes I wonder how this football actions comes to past because you can not tell me how Aston Villa manage to win two elite clubs in a row, Manchester City and Arsenal and now they struggle to meet up points with Sheffield United.

This should not be a surprise because when Aston villa played against Manchester City and Arsenal there aim was to be at the top that's why they are putting more effort to win those matches, as for Sheffield United their new manager want then to move out from relegation zone, even Aston villa were very surprised because they don't estimate it to come out like that because the believe that if Arsenal, Manchester city can not make it out in the home then who are Sheffield United. I have the club I fans both this two teams Aston villa and Sheffield United I keep observing them especially Sheffield United since they changed their manager, I want to see the effect of that which it as started showing, before now I consider Sheffield United as dustbin for other to just come and collect their full points and go.

Manchester City started this season a little badly and I think this is due to the many injured players so the team's performance has dropped a bit, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to compete for the Premier League title this season, I'm still quite sure Manchester City will can bounce back like they did last season.

The competition in the Premier League standings this season is quite fierce and I think it is still the same as what happened in the previous season, the Premier League teams have almost equal quality so there is quite fierce competition.
Currently, I think there are several teams that are likely to occupy the top 4 positions and it is difficult to predict because this season is still very long.

Aston Villa is only able to control the match but there is not much effort in attack based on statistics only 4 shots on target of course it's not enough to win the match even though almost all of us think Aston Villa will win but luck is not on their side. Even though the two teams drew, I thought Sheffield was only lucky with 2 shots on target 1 goals obviously this is a luck and Sheffield can't depend on luck. In the next match Aston Villa will face Manchester United who deserves to win? I worry that there will be another trap when almost everyone favored Aston Villa then the final result they lost or draw it doesn't make sense but that's the fact.

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.

Crystal Palace strength and superiority is influenced by the home match and if match had been outside their home ground then I would be sure that Brighton could win the match.
I know the quality of both of them is almost equal in that match but on the outside I wouldn't say they both have the same strength.
Crystal Palace itself has defense line that is not that good but yes they have the advantage so that is why Brighton is having difficulty getting goals to win the match.
Moreover, Brighton was stronger in dominating the game in term of possession of the ball and the level of attacks they carried out.
Brighton should be better in the future because Aston Villa, which was on par with Brighton last season, is now developing rapidly and Brighton should be able to do it too.

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?

The Aston Villa vs Sheff Utd match ended in draw and this is good thing for Arsenal because in the match against Liverpool they will lose so the gap is not that far behind.
I don't know what will happen to the top teams in this round of 18 but I am really waiting for the Arsenal vs Liverpool match and this is the most interesting match that brings together the two top team with their condition on the rise.

Do you believe Liverpool can beat Arsenal and take first place in their next match? Liverpool has home advantage and it looks like both team will remain favorites.

Everton are looking to be in their best form at the moment as they had won 4 games in a row in the English Premier League without conceding a single goal. The defense of Everton are looking very strong and I think Tottenham might not be able to break down Everton and this match will ends up with a draw at the final whistle.

aston villa is the biggest surprise this season. i don't believe that aston villa can compete for the championship but this happened. with a very minimal transfer budget but the achievement is extraordinary. but with an inadequate squad, can it be consistent until the end of the season because there are still many trips or matches to go through. and the main squad can just get injured in the middle of the road, well if that happens, can the reserve squad replace it as well as the main squad.

The defense of Everton are looking very strong and I think Tottenham might not be able to break down Everton and this match will ends up with a draw at the final whistle.

Looking at Everton in the last few weeks it looks quite convincing. Because in these 4 positive results there were actually two matches that most people were surprised by these results. Namely when Everton was able to beat Chelsea and Newcastle. But one thing that we have to consider is that Everton managed to beat Chelsea and Newcastle when Everton was the host. So I'm not sure whether Everton will play well again when they visit Spurs headquarters.

I was also considering a draw at first but after I knew this was a home game for Spurs then I was confident enough to favor Spurs in today's match.

[rendravolt]

Nicolo Zaniolo saved Aston Villa from defeat and since his loan from Galatassary last summer this was his first goal in the EPL with Aston Villa. Obviously this is an equally important result even though they only got one point after ending in a 1-1 draw against Sheffield and they also moved up to 2nd place in the standings and have the same 39 points as Arsenal. Even though Arsenal and Liverpool have not yet started their matches this week, it is clear that Aston Villa will still remain at the top and is 5 points away from Manchester City, which is currently in 4th position in the standings.

Unai Emery is a phenomenal coach this season and perhaps he is the only coach from last season who has remained consistent until now because De Zerbi (Brighton) and Eddie Howie (Newcastle) in the end were not very consistent in bringing their team and were unable to compete at the top.
