Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Stable090]

I think Pep will lead Manchester City to a big comeback. You're right about the recent dip, but this club has showed resilience before.

Let’s hope Manchester City will be able to win the match, because their performances have been kind of poor lately, they dropped in performance this season, their performance this season can’t be compared to last season. I was surprised to see Manchester City draw their last match against Crystal Palace. seriously am also expecting a win from Manchester City in their match against Everton, but anything can happen, let’s hope there will be improvement in Manchester City's performance in their subsequent matches to be played.

No doubt, Kevin De Bruyne's comeback changes everything. His absence was noticeable as City missed his playmaking.

De Bruyne’s absence has really been affecting Manchester City's performance since the beginning of the season. I believe De Bruyne's absence is the cause of current Manchester City's poor performances.

[bitgolden]

Manchester City is not a side you'll want to write of for real, but they've seen a certain level of decline honestly, they could be with Kevin De Bruyne but not with Rodri so I'll want to see how they shape and play in his absence.
Thing's didn't go as planned though when they played without him against Aston Villa, who bossed them in midfied. They be facing Sean Dyche who's side has passed the test after been deducted of ten points. At home can be hell for Manchester City. Lemme day they have enough time to rest before jumping back into this game.

Just to point something out here, Nobody talks about Eddie Howe who was also appointed manager of Newcastle United last season, Infact, I'm disappointed with the media and journalist who are fueling the sack of Erik Ten Hag but not that of Eddie Howe who is also having a disastrous season just like Erik Ten Hag.

What's so special about him? Is it because he's British Coach?

I think that's already a given thing, like NOBODY thinks he is keeping that job. The thing about Erik Tan Hag is the fact that he might be fired or he may not be fired and those are two different possibilities, and we are not really sure about which will happen, so it's all a question mark for us all, and that's why we talk about it a lot, there is really nothing that we need to discuss about Eddi Howe like we need to talk about Erik Tan Hag, that's the difference.

Why talk about Eddie when we all know that he is going to get fired for sure, like it is guaranteed thing, we are all aware of it and it is going to happen, so there is really nothing to talk about. Newcastle is just not rushing, they know they can wait until the summer, and can fire him and get a better decent manager.

 Man City will be playing Everton at the Goodison Park and this is their first game since they came back from their FIFA world club games and the last time they played in the Premier league, they drew to Crystal Palace. It is safe to say they've not been stellar in their performance in the league as they managed to have three draws against teams they are supposed to beat and knowing that Everton are bent on covering for the deducted points, they will want to take a shot at the Citizens and coupled with the fact that the visitors haven't seen Premier league action in a while, they may be rusty, causing the Toffees to bank on this advantage.
 The bookies always have Man City as the favorites but I won't be quick to write off Everton because since the point deduction, they seemed to play on a different level so I'm expecting a competitive game and I see the both sides having the same strength in the match

[Adams0001]

Manchester was lucky last night to be frank. They are still unbeaten on boxing day since 1978. Coming from behind to defeat Aston Villa is one of their biggest wins in this season. Hojlund finally had his first game in the premier league and Garnacho had a double. Quite a good record for Manchester United yesterday. Because it has been a long time, they had a good win and this time to came back from nothing and won the match with a well stunning performance in the second half.

Last night's game was amazing! Manchester United's comeback was amazing. In addition to their unblemished Boxing Day streak, they displayed heart. Aston Villa, undefeated in 10 games, was no easy opponent. The second half felt like United recovered their passion.

Its great that Hojlund scored his first Premier League goal. He and supporters have waited long. United may need this energy. Up to 6th in the table feels like a turning moment. I hope they maintain similar spirit in their forthcoming contests. Its about playing with dignity and demonstrating their potential, not simply winning.

Manchester United surprised the fans yesterday with a great comeback at Old Trafford, I thought Aston Villa would defeat Manchester United because they lead with 2-0 in the first half and I thought that was the end of the game because Aston Villa play very well in the first half, but Manchester has the belief that they will not give up and they play well in the second half and they get the chance and lead 3-2 if Manchester United can continue to perform like this I think Manches will not lose many point in the league, Because their performance yesterday was outstanding even Rushford who was not in excellent shape, contributed to the victory yesterday. Erik Ten Hag should just try to get some new players, such as forwards and defenders to strengthen the club.

There next match will be against Nottingham Forest, and I believe Manchester United can defeat them if they play well, because Nottingham are not very good and are fighting for relegation. If Manchester United defeat them and Everton and Luton win their matches, I believe they will return to 18th place in the table, and he will lead them to relegation if they continue losing matches.there match against Manchester United can be tough game because they are at home and they will get the home advantage anything can happen.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

From the beginning of the match, Liverpool managed to dominate this match. A lot of attacks were carried out by Liverpool players. This is why Burnley's players can't create any counter-attacking opportunities. Liverpool probably had 14 shots in the first half. and had more than 65% of the ball possession. My prediction was Liverpool to win by more than 3 goals. But Liverpool's performance in the second half was a little slower than the first half. However, goals from Jota and Nunez gave Liverpool a stunning 2-0 victory. The top spot in the points table is now occupied by Liverpool.

Liverpool won everything over Burnley, they didn't look like a visiting team at Burnley headquarters. Since the match started Liverpool have threatened Burnley, managed to control the match, one of Liverpool advantages and they have the right to win at Burnley headquarters. An important victory for Liverpool who are fighting for the EPL title this season, they are now two points ahead of Arsenal, but Arteta's team still has the opportunity to reclaim first place from Liverpool if they win over West Ham.

Very interested in seeing the competition between Liverpool and Arsenal in fighting for first place, the view in the EPL standings this season is very different from the previous season which was always dominated by Manchester City. Now Pep Guardiola team is fighting to get back into the top four after dropping a lot of points due to their declining performance in the last few matches.

[Mayor of ogba]

Aston Villa failed to maintain their 2-goal lead against Manchester United at Old Trafford yesterday. Manchester United had a huge comeback yesterday against Aston Villa to deny my bet not playing the way I predicted it. Finally, Hojlund scored his first premier league goal against Aston Villa yesterday.

We were all shocked by Manchester United's incredible comeback against Aston Villa because we didn't think the game would end that way. When Aston Villa scored two goals in the first thirty minutes of the match, I thought Manchester United had already lost because they haven't recovered from defeat this season. However, two goals from Garnacho in the second half make them strong to bring victory to them, and it was incredible to see Hojlund score his first Premier League goal. I hope he can continue to score goals from here. My bet also spoiled because i bet on Aston villa to win Manchester united, but the match did end the way i predicted it.

I keep wondering if this is the same Manchester United that defeated Aston Villa because Aston Villa has defeated many teams this season that are far better than Manchester United. We can find out if Manchester United is capable of performing this way in their next game against Nottingham Forest. This is the kind of performance we always want to see from them, but they refuse to put their strength into their matches.

Yesterday's match was the best performance Manchester United has had for a very long time, nobody believes that Manchester United could make a great comeback after they conceded two goals in the space of 30th minutes. The win Manchester United had against Aston Villa will boost the morale of Manchester United players to win more matches.

I think Pep will lead Manchester City to a big comeback. You're right about the recent dip, but this club has showed resilience before. No doubt, Kevin De Bruyne's comeback changes everything. His absence was noticeable as City missed his playmaking. For their upcoming match against Everton, I'm optimistic. Even with City's recent form, Everton isn't competitive. Not only does Pep have outstanding players, but he strategically uses his group. His genius shows there. Can we discuss Pep's pressure management? His adaptability and coolness are outstanding. I expect their next game to be strong

I have never doubted Pep Guardiola in maintaining and raising the fighting spirit of his players to compete for the title. Manchester City is not far behind other competitors such as Liverpool and Arsenal, especially since Manchester City has two matches remaining. Pep Guardiola can use this to reduce the difference in points between competitors so that his chances of retaining the title are not lost.

Pep Guardiola must make good use of today's away match against Everton. Manchester City is targeting victory at Goodison Park to reduce the points gap with Liverpool and Arsenal, I think the chances are quite good and Manchester City can do it. Pep Guardiola admitted that many people were happy when Manchester City lost and failed to defend their title this season, but now Pep Guardiola has to do something good to go against the wishes of many people. Victory became mandatory, he had to do it.

[Avirunes]

Man City are below their usual standards but they are going nowhere. They are still in the title race, they can’t afford to drop too many points in the next month or so but they are well capable of going on long winning runs.

Yeah they are capable of being consistent for long run but what if they again find themselves in pit of loss in between? In that scenario there will certainly be lot of pressure and others might have chance of winning the title. I hope they do this season for a change and some other club wins the title. There are lot of clubs leading above them like Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa who are also performing quite well but when it comes to history of consistency City are far much ahead of them.

[....]
I think after reaching such highs of winning the treble, it’s natural to fall off a bit but they are still fighting to defend their title.

Yeah it's natural but it is also important for such club to achieve at least something by the end of the season if not the PL. So far City are performing quite well in CL so possible that they might make it two in a row.

[tusandii]

I would not be surprised if Manchester United won against Aston Villa who are in 3rd place in the standings at the moment. After a series of bad results, of course Manchester United must be able to win the match against Aston Villa, who in the last few matches have not been defeated and Manchester United was behind in the first half. 2 goals but finally in the second half Manchester United were able to change the style and tempo of the game so they could turn things around 3-2 and at the same time show their fans that Manchester United could win..

Actually I no that the match may likely end that way because irrespective of Manchester bad performance but after considering how there match against West Ham United I no that there would be every chances that Manchester United will not easily lose this match because there position on the table has been greatly affected from the match they lose against West Ham United so there is no way Aston Villa would have won them easily.

So many persons has lost there bet because of this match because after they had considered the performance of Manchester United this season and the current performance of Aston Villa they became certain that Aston Villa will surely win Manchester United, perhaps this one of the reasons why I said Manchester United matches are very unpredictable so that's just exactly what happened on this match.

I may have said in the new premier league thread that we are not only fooled by Manchester United appearance or performance but Aston Villa are also unstable in terms of consistency and still very erratic.
Let's look again at Aston villa performance from the last 5 matches. There is one match that we cannot think about, a draw against a club from the bottom of the points table and with Aston Villa performance, I also doubt whether they can beat MU and one side, Manchester United is in a bad condition difficult to predict.
So it is very natural that many bettors lose because this is the bettor mistake of not choosing to bet on Asian Total which is better than betting on the team that wins. You will definitely get an unexpected surprise.
Maybe Manchester United match against Aston Villa is lesson for us if betting on an unstable club is better to choose to bet in the safest place to avoid surprises like this.

[tbterryboy]

After a series of bad performance, Manchester City are slowly starting to drift further away from the top spot on the table. I think Pep Guardiola will need to lead Manchester City back to their dominating form in the English Premier League in order to catch up with Liverpool and Arsenal. I guess Manchester City should be able to beat Everton for their next upcoming match at the final whistle.

With this Manchester City current performance, anything can happen. There are many games Manchester City played recently. Manchester was the favorite team to win the games from any statistics comparison, but they ended up messed up so even today they can still mess up with the game despite being the favorite team to win. I can't bet on Manchester City currently because the game can turn out in another way, and if we observe Everton recently, we see that there is improvement from the team, so with that, they can appear strongly to give Manchester City a tough time.

Manchester City were in bad shape for few weeks most chances now we will have them back in business and things will be taken good change as they are improving, and their injured players are also on verge of return and January window is also going to have impact which will help them for having better things in second half of the season today we are going to witness how they will start their campaign after losing matches and staying away with Club world cup win.

Everton is surely team to watch currently at the bottom with their four wins bring them out of the relegation zone, and they are doing their best for having improved performance and consistency which allow them to stay into safe zone for long time things could be not easy, but we can expect good interesting match from both teams in last match of the year.

[Cookdata]

Yes indeed, even though Manchester City play away against Everton in today's match, of course Manchester City will be the favorite team to win. But yes, even though Manchester City are still predicted to win in this match, I think it's still not easy either because yes, at least Everton are also still in a good trend at this moment.

Manchester City has taken longer time than I expected to bounce back to the top of th tree, but no doubt they should clean this match without any struggle even though Everton has been performing nicely the past weeks, I still think Manchester City will not take any chance in today's match. Guardiola is already piss with critics because of the slow recovery of the team but he says what maters is the end result which I believe he will deliver for certain.

What's more, it looks like Haaland will also not be played in this match because he is still injured but maybe I'm wrong, because I also still don't know the information related to Haaland in this match whether it will be played or not.

But yes, if for example Haaland still cannot be played in this match then of course it is still not easy for Manchester City to beat Everton in this match. At least, Manchester City's previous match when playing at home against Crystal Palace, at least that match will be a consideration too for this match. After all, although on paper Manchester City are still very favored but yes, at least Manchester City also still have a chance to fail.

Haaland is not coming and I don't think his absent will be felt that much considering the available players that are going to represent the team to night. Even if he should come, I don't think much will be achieve because in the last few matches of his, he didn't do much and some couldn't score a goal.

Perhaps Haaland has began to feel the absent of Kelvin, last season he never have a single break and never had to struggle for ball but it looks like he is now doing the only attack KDB was doing and while he does the score. People's opinions might be right when they say he can't do well without KDB because he has begin to show exactly that prowess but since Kelvin is back, maybe he will improve.

Yes, good point. Surprisingly they have been performing quite well. The win against Newcastle with 3-0 scoreline was really something that boosted them and they continued to win few more until their game against Spurs. Still City are far ahead in level terms if we compare them to Everton and City needs points right now and they want to make themselves on track and certainly will try their best out to win the match. I think City has got this in today's match against Everton.

[Roseline492]

Yes indeed, even though Manchester City play away against Everton in today's match, of course Manchester City will be the favorite team to win. But yes, even though Manchester City are still predicted to win in this match, I think it's still not easy either because yes, at least Everton are also still in a good trend at this moment.

Of course even if Manchester City plays away against Everton Manchester City will surely win them because Manchester City has more talented and quality players than Everton although I'm not disputing the fact that Everton is not in a good performance but on the contrary I'm only stating the fact because if we should consider Everton performance and the clubs they have meet and how they perform we will see that Manchester City is on a favourable side of the match, because the last time Everton meet Manchester United they lose the match against Manchester United with 3-0, so first Manchester United to give Everton 3-0 on there meeting when we no that Manchester United is very inconsistent in times of performance so there is every likelihood that Manchester City will surely give them more than what Manchester United gave them  on there last meeting.

[shinratensei_]

Liverpool went on to defeat a certain Vincent Kompany's team and the home side was forced not to get a goal in that game, th disappointment continues for Burnley. Like we all know, Burnley is one of the weakest team in the league and any top side who come against them are sure of getting all 3 point.
 With how improved Liverpool are now it seems they're the best team talking from the other 3 clubs in the top 4 on the log (Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, for now Manchester City are outside the top 4 so they're excluded) so what I'm seeing with the way Klopp is taking things I just see them causing much damage in the EPL against all teams who are competing for the title, and I'll ask if Liverpool is the best and favorite to lift the EPL title, because it seems they're are at the moment.

Look at the statistic from the match. Burnley had made 0 shoot against liverpool and this is enough to prove that if liverpool has been dominating the match against burnley and this is not even surprise for me to see that. On paper, liverpool had higher quality compared to the another club like burnley.
Winning against burnley was a common thing for liverpool and this is the correct result. It will be a disaster if liverpool would be losing against burnley caused by the club is competing for the EPL trophy this season. Losing point considered as a disaster for liverpool.
It's caused by the club needs to keep its consistency to win and get three points anytime. Liverpool needs to do this caused by the club needs create gap to the arsenal. This is also the most important point that needs to be achieved by liverpool.
Arsenal is strong club and it needs to make sure the club can consistently winning three points. Then it can take advantage when arsenal will be also losing the chance gather three points from its opponent.

I never said Burnley was going to win the game against Liverpool but considering how they dealt with Fulham, I expected an attempt on goal from them. With the way Liverpool dominated the game, I hoped that more goals will come from them instead of the two goals. If it were Man City, we'd have been counting more than 3-4 goals which goes to say Liverpool were given a tough time by Kompany's defence line, who made the game difficult for the Liverpool attackers to get more goals. I won't say Jurgen Klopp's men are the best for now until we see the teams competiting for the title in the second half of the season

Yeah two goals seem quite low from what we have expected caused by liverpool was fully dominating the match but at least this match was so easy to predict. I meant ez money for me. did you pick over? Some predictions have come about the winner for this season.
Liverpool has been predicting to win the EPL title, but we are still far away from that moment. Arsenal and manchester city will be coming back stronger. Burnley was getting another dissatisfied result against liverpool but this is normal since liverpool has better squad compared to the burnley.
Kompany's squad has been doing what they can do and nothing surprise to see this. Liverpool is the strongest candidate for now caused by its consistency, made it being trusted by so many speculators to win the trophy. yet we will see what team that is going to comeback again soon.
Im expecting manchester city to do the same thing like the previous season. Another good result from liverpool.

[Winterfrost]

Yes indeed, even though Manchester City play away against Everton in today's match, of course Manchester City will be the favorite team to win. But yes, even though Manchester City are still predicted to win in this match, I think it's still not easy either because yes, at least Everton are also still in a good trend at this moment.

Of course even if Manchester City plays away against Everton Manchester City will surely win them because Manchester City has more talented and quality players than Everton although I'm not disputing the fact that Everton is not in a good performance but on the contrary I'm only stating the fact because if we should consider Everton performance and the clubs they have meet and how they perform we will see that Manchester City is on a favourable side of the match, because the last time Everton meet Manchester United they lose the match against Manchester United with 3-0, so first Manchester United to give Everton 3-0 on there meeting when we no that Manchester United is very inconsistent in times of performance so there is every likelihood that Manchester City will surely give them more than what Manchester United gave them  on there last meeting.

Don't get it mixed up. Everton is not that in a good performance now. But anything can happen in the match. Everton may have few chances and opportunities and make use of them to score a goal. Then fall defensively to secure that one goal till the end of the game. Why I am saying this is because Everton has strong and muscular players in their team and they are more of a defensive kind of club. What they look at Is for a counter which may come at any time. So if they are able to score like that, maybe through counter, corners or freekicks. The game would be difficult for Manchester City. Let Pep don't take a team like Everton for granted. Walker we have to do a lot of work today. He have to keep his eyes on Ahsley Young who is old but still in a good form.

[bbigtart]

From the beginning of the match, Liverpool managed to dominate this match. A lot of attacks were carried out by Liverpool players. This is why Burnley's players can't create any counter-attacking opportunities. Liverpool probably had 14 shots in the first half. and had more than 65% of the ball possession.

However, goals from Jota and Nunez gave Liverpool a stunning 2-0 victory. The top spot in the points table is now occupied by Liverpool.

Liverpool appeared superior in this match. From the start, they should have even been able to score more than two goals, but unfortunately there were many refereeing decisions that were less favorable for Liverpool.

In the previous match, it was also seen that the opposing handball player in the penalty box did not receive a penalty against Liverpool. Not to mention other mistakes, it was too easy to give cards to Liverpool players, the opposing players should have been carded but the referee did not give cards. Not to mention the wrong offside line. Is this often considered a coincidence?

but apart from the referee's decision which was full of controversy, Liverpool's victory was important because they managed to overtake Arsenal, even though Arsenal had not played a match but at least they had put pressure on the Arsenal players.

[Falconer]

-snip-

Yes, good point. Surprisingly they have been performing quite well. The win against Newcastle with 3-0 scoreline was really something that boosted them and they continued to win few more until their game against Spurs. Still City are far ahead in level terms if we compare them to Everton and City needs points right now and they want to make themselves on track and certainly will try their best out to win the match. I think City has got this in today's match against Everton.

Manchester City have to make up the points gap with Arsenal and Liverpool, so I think they will play this match to the best of their ability. Everton's advantage is playing at home, while Manchester City is still missing several players due to injury. Pep Guardiola knows what he has to do in this match, so I think he will win this match after dropping a lot of points in his last few matches.

Yesterday's Manchester United vs Aston Villa match really caught my attention. Ten Hag and his team deserved a win like that in many games, it was very encouraging. Manchester United must be able to recover and return to being competitive in the Premier League every season, but inconsistency in performance is one of the problems that is always difficult to solve regardless of the coach. Ten Hag has the ability, but he is not always able to solve this problem.

[imamusma]

Manchester United surprised the fans yesterday with a great comeback at Old Trafford, I thought Aston Villa would defeat Manchester United because they lead with 2-0 in the first half and I thought that was the end of the game because Aston Villa play very well in the first half, but Manchester has the belief that they will not give up and they play well in the second half and they get the chance and lead 3-2 if Manchester United can continue to perform like this I think Manches will not lose many point in the league, Because their performance yesterday was outstanding even Rushford who was not in excellent shape, contributed to the victory yesterday. Erik Ten Hag should just try to get some new players, such as forwards and defenders to strengthen the club.

There next match will be against Nottingham Forest, and I believe Manchester United can defeat them if they play well, because Nottingham are not very good and are fighting for relegation. If Manchester United defeat them and Everton and Luton win their matches, I believe they will return to 18th place in the table, and he will lead them to relegation if they continue losing matches.there match against Manchester United can be tough game because they are at home and they will get the home advantage anything can happen.

Manchester United showed their level as a big team by beating Aston Villa who were at the top of their form, 3 points which were very important for Ten Hag to get out of the big pressure. I didn't expect the game to be as dramatic as it was, and in the end the 3 points relieved a little of the pressure suffered by Ten Hag and his squad, gave a slight improvement in confidence, and overtook West Ham temporarily by collecting 31 points.

On the other hand, the next match versus Nottingham Forest also required full vigilance, because they managed to beat Newcastle 3-1. It's true that Nottingham is struggling to stay away from the relegation zone, but I don't think Manchester United will drop points even if they play away from home. The Red Devils consistency is full of doubts this season, so surprises could happen again and Ten Hag will be under pressure again.

[Avirunes]

Manchester City have to make up the points gap with Arsenal and Liverpool, so I think they will play this match to the best of their ability. Everton's advantage is playing at home, while Manchester City is still missing several players due to injury. Pep Guardiola knows what he has to do in this match, so I think he will win this match after dropping a lot of points in his last few matches.

Doku, Haaland and Rodri are reported to be doubtful but I think still City has got the density with quality players in their squad and should able to score goals today. Everton have been a tough opponent in past few games but City are really far ahead in front of them and Guardiola can really build a match winning squad still out of the remaining options he has. They have to win the match as they are behind with quite some margin according to their standards and have to get back on track as soon as possible.

[Gaza13]

I was really surprised by United's comeback. Both teams use 1 striker and 3 attacking midfielders. This is a match that is actually a draw. but Aston Villa's 2 goals in the first half cast doubt on United's ability to stage a comeback.
Ten Hag seems to need more effort to revive his squad. The season is still quite long, and there is a chance to catch up. Hopefully, fans will patiently wait for United's revival.

I was also surprised because Aston Villa's game that day was quite good, they were able to score the second goal in the 21st and 26th minutes. I was also quite disappointed with Aston Villa's defenders who played too much at the back. and the score couldn't help but change and the enthusiasm of supporters towards Manchester United became even greater. This Sunday's victory and revival is a breath of fresh air for Mu and Ten Hag. The reason is, in the last few weeks his playing performance has not been good.
