Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[hyudien]

As long as Manchester City managed to keep Pep Guardiola, then during that period Manchester City will also have very good strength and consistency to remain a trophy-winning candidate team from season to season. I personally, really believe about that factor, because Manchester City's strength is only about good finances and also having Pep Guardiola because of course, with Pep Guardiola it will make Manchester City management very good.

So yes, no wonder even though Arsenal, Liverpool and some of the top Premier League teams continue to make their best efforts but in reality, they will still fail because Manchester City are still very strong. But indeed, maybe at a certain moment Manchester City will fail to win the Premier League trophy, but the chance is still very difficult. But yes, let's look forward to how Arsenal's efforts next season, whether it will still be able to provide tough resistance to Manchester City or maybe, Liverpool with its new coach will make a surprise, who knows.

Yes I agree with you when Pep Guardiola is still with them, so Manchester City to be able to maintain the game is currently open very wide. Because Sata saw a match between Pep Guardiola and Manchester City and also he already knew his real children, so he could freely do what he wanted. Pep Guardiola is a great coach, his ability as a coach needs to be doubted. Evidently he could offer the title they had wanted.
If Pep Guardiola decides to leave Manchester City, there will be a question whether Manchester City will still be able to play well or just the opposite. Many teams that were left after the coach who led them to success became declining, not far away, their city team was a concrete example. But I judge there are differences, obviously we cannot say the same thing. For example, in terms of management, in my opinion Manchester City management currently knows what they are doing, unlike their city team.

We're only a few weeks away from the start of the new season. It sounds impossible for Chelsea to get rid of all its problems in a short time.

The coming season isn’t going to be an easy one for Chelsea. With their performance so far, the season isn’t really going to be easy for them, and it’s going to take time before Maresca will be able to solve Chelsea's current problem. I just hope Chelsea will give him enough time to do that, but if he isn’t given time, then Chelsea will find it difficult to get a solution to their current problem. Since they already have a good coach, then they should be patient with him. No matter the coach Chelsea will be getting now, they have to give the coach time, or they will end up changing coach frequently just like they have been doing.

[Marykeller]

Chelsea has made good changes at the start of the season, but their problem is that they don't have a good finish in their squad. No matter how hard Cole Palmer tries, he will never take the team to victory alone, but each player will have to change their game, but the team will be strong and can move into a good position. I also think that better steps should be taken for the team and good players should work hard so that they can stand in a good position. Of course, I can see that Liverpool have been very impressive, and they are excited to be taking their early season performances into consideration. Moreover, the way Manchester City have built their squad has certainly made them much stronger at the start of the season.

It will be discouraging if, at the end of the transfer window, Chelsea still battles not having a good finisher in the team after many signings have been made. However, new football tactics have been set up in the Chelsea team; let's see what becomes after how long it would all take before Enzo gets his first eleven in the team and also brings out the best in the players. It will be a hell of a task to achieve for him. He will need time after time to build Chelsea to be formidable.

On the other, I am really surprised at Liverpool as no single player has been signed into the team, and they have won their three preseason matches against tough teams. It's all like the Liverpool coach is okay with the present teammates of Liverpool. However, let's see how this season will favor Liverpool and the coach as the team has already started having impressive winnings in the friendly matches against teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Real Betis

[Rampagoe004]

Currently only Palmer is the best purchase in the last 2 seasons because the rest I think no one can really be said to be stable until now. Hopefully, there will be a new initiative for Chelsea although looking at what they did in the current friendlies it is still difficult to expect Chelsea to change quickly in terms of performance.

I agree with you. In the last two seasons Chelsea have spent more than a billion euros on player purchases and the only successful purchase is Cole Palmer. It can be said that Chelsea have bought Palmer worth hundreds of millions of euros because many other players have become their failed purchases. Their pre-season match results are not so good. But like other pre-season matches we can't see the results as a reference for the strength of each team when the season starts. But it seems that Chelsea do have problems in their squad. Enzo Maresca must be able to find the team's weaknesses to get a solid tactic.

[Smack That Ace]

One of Manchester United's biggest problems of last season was the constant injuries the club's first team players suffered and that really affected their general performance of last season. Sadly, they've now lost two players to injuries before the start of next season again and that I think will be a huge blow to the club preparations for next season. I don't want to believe that it is the club manager's selections in the games that caused the injury because of we can remember, Leny Yoro recently signed for the club and needed to play in the preseason games in other to blend well with the team's style of play while Rasmus Hojlund enjoyed a long holiday and also needed to get back to full fitness by playing in the team's preseason games. Hopefully, the club manager finds a good tactical plan that'll help the team start the season on a good note till when the injured players returns back to full fitness

And Erik Ten Hag builds up plans comes from the defense. Without a strong defense, opponents will find it easy to score goals which they did last season and at the same time, playing with defenders who are not confident on the ball and with no pace did not add to the plans of Erik Ten Hag last season and campaign.

I do not have a problem with Rasmus Hojlund because, Manchester United has Joshua Zirkzee and even Marcus Rashford can go up there a the lone striker.
I'm vexed because Manchester has no depth orba good defensive replacement for Leny Yoro. Harry Maguire has been the name mentioned lately to partner Lisandro Martinez. I think it's not a solid defense already in my head.

There's no tactical approach to this, how do you even say such a thing?  What they need is backing and depth, I mean the club owners should sign up another defender.

I think Manchester United is going to play safe in the Transfer market because they do not have a very good financial situation at this moment. That's why I am not sure if it is going to be a very good idea for Manchester United to spend a lot of money right now.  I mean,  they can get a defender if they want and if the budget allows them to do so. Because if it is that important for the coach, and if you will be unable to bring in good results without the depth in the defensive line,  it is probably better to bring in another defense player.

But that will make Manchester United spend more money and after that Manchester United will have to perform otherwise the club is going to be in a bad financial situation and they will also not be able to bring in the results that they expected as well.  so that is going to be a lose-lose situation for Manchester United. But at the same time, I also think it is worth a try.

So yes, no wonder even though Arsenal, Liverpool and some of the top Premier League teams continue to make their best efforts but in reality, they will still fail because Manchester City are still very strong. But indeed, maybe at a certain moment Manchester City will fail to win the Premier League trophy, but the chance is still very difficult. But yes, let's look forward to how Arsenal's efforts next season, whether it will still be able to provide tough resistance to Manchester City or maybe, Liverpool with its new coach will make a surprise, who knows.

I am expecting a great display of football from Manchester City even in the next season, they’ve come very far in this great performance and are looking to expand their league titles more. They don’t still look weak and I won’t be surprised if they win the league title for another time. They are a team with a lot of potential and are very strong till date. Only Arsenal is seen as the team with a lot of potential to withstand them for now. Until the season begins, we can’t tell how well they can fight them to win the league title next season.

Todd is only buying average players and not world class players and like you said it is only Palmer that is worth the amount of money he was bought as the rest are waste of money and hype. Maybe he is just unlucky with the players that he buys.

Todd wants to copy Abramovich pattern of buying players and winning the league and if he does not win he sacks the coach. That was an old way of doing things and again their lucks are not the same because what works for me might not work for you. Therefore, Todd should think of his own pattern or build the club first with a good coach because victory is not magic.

The frequent sack of coaches at the end of seasons has made it difficult for Chelsea to build a solid and strong team. They’re always looking for a way to see themself at the top in every season which can’t just happen because it’s not magic. Firstly, they need to build a formidable squad that can be able to fight through and withstand any team they face in the league, only then they can at least get a chance to compete for the league title. Chelsea is still bad mouth like before because even after the owner of the team was changed, the same thing is still what is happening with the new owner.

They don't really need too much world class players, all they need should be players with enough confidence and experience in the Premier League Competition and players who has potentials of succeeding for the club in the next few years ahead. I also do not think that, tbry have done poorly with he signatures they have made.
I think, Todd Boehly is more of a profit making owner so he wants to make enough from the sales of the old lady.

I don't know how Roman Abrahimovich handled it. What I knew was how Jose Mourinho made use of the experience players and that of those young players without experience. With time, the both of them finally aligned.
There's nothing about luck in this right now, and I don't see him trying to copy from the past owners. Most importantly, Chelsea need to start solving the defense issues immediately.

I think arsenal should be able to compete against pep this coming season. It should be 11-12days from now for the season to start, if am not mistaken. Arteta is now going for the experienced players if we observe their recent signings. Though man city hasn't made any main signing this season, but from one of their preseason games I watched, I can tell you that some of their academy players are far better than some first team players in the premier league, which I think would be more than enough for city to compete as well. Let see how it goes, especially, since we are having some interesting fixtures at the beginning of the season for almost all top teams. I am not really sure of wha Liverpool's new manager can do, though I observed that he knows how to play a possessive football well but not sure if he will be among those we will be talking about as the season continuous. But I think the fight is just between arsenal and city for the now.

The frequent sack of coaches at the end of seasons has made it difficult for Chelsea to build a solid and strong team. They’re always looking for a way to see themself at the top in every season which can’t just happen because it’s not magic.

Chelsea is still bad mouth like before because even after the owner of the team was changed, the same thing is still what is happening with the new owner.

And I also think that Chelsea fans lack patience. They are never interested in building (which I think not all clubs do). From my opinion, these players are still very young, with majority not having that premier league experience, I will be expecting a change maybe from the next 3-4years. This is premier league, where team performance must click, before they can outperform others. So, you are right by insisting that they must build a formidable team, but am not sure if the fans and board will be patient enough for that.

As long as Manchester City managed to keep Pep Guardiola, then during that period Manchester City will also have very good strength and consistency to remain a trophy-winning candidate team from season to season. I personally, really believe about that factor, because Manchester City's strength is only about good finances and also having Pep Guardiola because of course, with Pep Guardiola it will make Manchester City management very good.

So yes, no wonder even though Arsenal, Liverpool and some of the top Premier League teams continue to make their best efforts but in reality, they will still fail because Manchester City are still very strong.

But yes, let's look forward to how Arsenal's efforts next season, whether it will still be able to provide tough resistance to Manchester City or maybe, Liverpool with its new coach will make a surprise, who knows.

There are many factors that make Man City always superior to other teams. Firstly, they do have strong financial strength. Secondly, they have a squad or players who are also very high quality, both the main and second tier players are all the same. And thirdly, they have the most qualified coaches and have many achievements. And we know that Pep Guardiola is a coach who can always make a club rise to its maximum level. So Pep can utilize the financial strength and excellent depth of the squad so that Man City is always at its best every season. So it will be very difficult to beat Man City every season as long as Pep Guardiola is still there. because even though Man City has good financial strength and squad depth, if they don't have Pep Guardiola as their coach then I think that's when Man City will start to weaken and will have difficulty defending the title in the Premier League. but last season Arsenal almost beat them in the race for the title and I think in the season that will start soon we can still hope that Arsenal will try again to stop the dominance that Man City has in the Premier League. But yeah, Liverpool and their new coach can also make a surprise.

The football players are talented and gifted with skills to play football games is the way Pep Guardiola is gifted in managing football players. Manchester City is not his first club to win most of the trophies he is winning, he has done them majorly while in Barcelona even though many people were saying it was Messi influence but he came back to Premier League, rearranged Manchester City players and he is doing well here again, this is not luck but his work and he does it with dedication.

I only pity how other teams in the Premier League are going to cope until 2027 where his contract might possibly end with Manchester City but if they decide to renew his deal, then that is going to be another years of torture from Manchester City because Premier League will be difficult for them unless there is changes in the managers across other clubs and perhaps his age factor too.

[rahmad2nd]

There could be a change for the future if their management and coaching staff pay attention to the shortcomings in several seasons, and at least be consistent in the current squad, because we see for ourselves that there is no consistency in Chelsea's management camp even though Chelsea's slump is not about a decline in performance, but underlined that Chelsea as it is now is due to the Russian and Ukrainian war and everything has changed in terms of the economy and Chelsea's game itself, but I am sure Chelsea is able to compete this season at least they are willing to penetrate the European League zone.

I like that you said "pay attention" because you would agree with me that for the two seasons Todd has been owner, he hasn't been paying attention, rather making hasty decisions, pouring money into signing of players that have not really imparted on the club.
 You'd blame most of the take over of Chelsea from Abramovich to Todd on the Russian invasion of Ukraine but then again, doesn't he have advisers that can help make good decisions that will help the team or is he running a one man ship?

Since the Todd Boehly era, the top brass behind Chelsea's success under Roman Abramovich have left Stamford Bridge one by one. For example, Granovskaia and Petr Cech decided to leave Stamford Bridge as the previous owner stepped down. Since then, Todd Boehly has been actively involved in player transfers. And as we can see, Chelsea is currently filled with young players. I don't know who Chelsea's current sporting and technical director is, because Todd Boehly plays a more dominant role. However, usually the sporting director takes care of player transfers, not the owner directly. That's why, last season when Todd Boehly was directly involved in player recruitment, the transfer prices of the players they were interested in skyrocketed. Well, Chelsea should be handled by competent people who take care of every aspect. So, the owner doesn't need to be directly involved like Todd did. This is a job for Chelsea and Todd Boehly as the club owner, he and his staff need to evaluate so that Chelsea can become a tough team again. However, we also shouldn't ignore that the match against City is a friendly match. Moreover, Enzo Maresca is still trying to tinker with the players' positions, the system and the pattern that he applies to his team. To ensure Chelsea's true performance, we will find out soon after the Premier League competition starts.

Pep Guardiola's contract will end next season, namely until 2025. Has he received a contract renewal yet? I haven't looked into this yet. But if not, then reportedly Pep will indeed leave after next season. And if that's true, maybe other clubs in the Premier League will be quite happy because in the end Man City will lose their best coach. But for Man City I think they will miss a lot and they will try to retain the best coach they have. Everything will depend on Pep's decision. But one thing I want to see is to see another team win the Premier League title even while Pep is still Man City coach. After that I will be very curious about where Pep wants to go next. And whether he will repeat extraordinary things at his new club someday. For now, maybe he will try again to make Man City win the title and will also try to conquer the UCL again. But this season I think things will be more difficult and the competition will be tougher. Both in the domestic league and in the UCL.

[baeva]

Last season at the very end they actually picked themselves up and started to move forward. They sat halfway through the season in mid-table and at the end of the season they climbed to 6th place. I'm sure if they had more time they could have fought for 5th or even 4th place. So I'm not writing them off for the new season

That performance by Chelsea team towards the end of the season came  as a surprise and all thanks to their coach then. That performance he showed by end of the season doesn’t warrant him to be sacked but in the end, they sacked him. He might not have performed as they agreed on, but at least he was able to finish in a better position than the previous coach. With that performance, replicating it for next season is not too certain because the new coach might want to change the strategy and use his own that might not suit them well to win matches with it.

I honestly feel pain for Chelsea, this is going to be their 3rd season without qualifying for the Champions League, this means that they failed to finish at the top in the Premier League for the 3rd time in a row and if they don't do it the season, 4 season will just pass without finishing at the top. It's gonna be a history for me because I haven't experienced such before for Chelsea.

Has it taken that long since Chelsea qualified for the champions league competition last? It looks like it’s just their second season without playing in the champions league and the next season will make it the third one if they fail to qualify again. Chelsea have shown some improvement in their game after they finished the last season in the first half of the table. With a new coach, much should be expected and of course they look ready for the next season to get a good result for their spending on the new coach and some few players signed to the squad.

I think they have tried a few tactics and found their own, we'll see how the new coach performs but I think it will be ok. Regarding the sacked coach I don't think it was a bad decision. Yes, he pulled the team as much as he could and at the end of the season something worked out, but most likely the dismissal was already discussed a long time ago and both sides knew it would happen

Chelsea was a good team years ago when they had a more stable situation with the better team but currently, this team is far from the good days they had before.
The problem with Chelsea is not about the players they have or their coach but that's all about the owners they have because the management system in whole Chelsea is not good enough to make this team improve and have better performance.
That's something they can't change even after years of using a new coach in this team.

Chelsea really didn't have such serious problems under the last owner, but I doubt he ran the club so well that things would start to crumble to such proportions after he left. Who knows, maybe he can still make a comeback. I hope in the new season to see a less chipper Chelsea that can fight for the top 5 in the table

[gabbie2010]

Currently only Palmer is the best purchase in the last 2 seasons because the rest I think no one can really be said to be stable until now. Hopefully, there will be a new initiative for Chelsea although looking at what they did in the current friendlies it is still difficult to expect Chelsea to change quickly in terms of performance.

I agree with you. In the last two seasons Chelsea have spent more than a billion euros on player purchases and the only successful purchase is Cole Palmer. It can be said that Chelsea have bought Palmer worth hundreds of millions of euros because many other players have become their failed purchases. Their pre-season match results are not so good. But like other pre-season matches we can't see the results as a reference for the strength of each team when the season starts. But it seems that Chelsea do have problems in their squad. Enzo Maresca must be able to find the team's weaknesses to get a solid tactic.

Honestly Chelsea last season new signings was the worst  the likes of Romeo Lavia  and Christopher Nkunku though injured almost throughout last season hasn't been played and tested, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Mudryk hasn't proved their worth except Palmer who had helped the club especially in their attack by scoring many goals and as their penalty taker, I am particularly consigned with the huge sign-on of the duo of Caicedo and Fernandez yet both hasn't live u expectations in fact when the latter got injured towards the end of last season Chelsea started winning their matches in his absence, however the new season is another opportunity for them to prove themselves.

[Zaguru12]

Their loss was clear. Preseason. Time to explore and find out what works and doesn't. United was under pressure and couldn't score. Keep your negativity in check. Creating chances is a good indicator. Finishing? Clearly, that needs improvement. Training has that purpose

Ten Hagu, Yes, today wasn't his best. But even greats have bad days. This is about his analysis, learning, and adaptation. That differentiates winners from losers. It's not over. But it's a wake-up. If used properly, it might spark a hell of a season. Let's let them prove themselves when it counts. Real test is ahead

Manchester United created many chances in that match but the Liverpool team show them how to utilize the chances. Erik Ten Hag in his post match press conference said he was happy they created, chances and held possessions but I think he needs to be concerned because last season they could all do this together and without converting their chances they lost and drew most matches. Yes it was clear that the lack of striker was the major problem but with Hojlund out for months I think Ten Hag needs to find solution fast, maybe the new boy Zirkzee will have to kick start straight away when season starts.

And I also think that Chelsea fans lack patience. They are never interested in building (which I think not all clubs do). From my opinion, these players are still very young, with majority not having that premier league experience, I will be expecting a change maybe from the next 3-4years. This is premier league, where team performance must click, before they can outperform others. So, you are right by insisting that they must build a formidable team, but am not sure if the fans and board will be patient enough for that.

Exactly they have been used to quick fix and success lifestyles that the Abrahmovic era provided them with, this is another board who have different perspectives so they need to exercise patience. But also I think this Bohely and his crew are getting many things wrong, no club builds with all players been young can flourish easily, he needs to allow some senior players stay with the team and probably leave when the rebuild is complete

No good critique uses the idea of the pre season games to make a conclusive judgment on the possible performance of a team, rather the teams main strength and abilities are seen mostly during their league games because at that point they will be able to exhibit to their full potential their abilities as for every game.they are playing has got something at stake unlike the pre season friendlies which is just to get them prepared for what is ahead when the main season begins.

[Sexylizzy2813]

This Chelsea new manager to me is confused on what to say concerning the team after losing to Manchester City he still had to come out and say it was because of the pitch on which both teams played on that was why the squad performaned badly and that was why they conceded those goals. I only see a man who will complain at any given opportunity and not a coach that's ready to take the fall for the team and make amends.
Enzo Maresca is one lucky man because if it was the former owner he would have been thinking on how to replace him because he can't even work understand pressure especially when the team is losing, he can't make some changes that would change the outcome of the game to his favor. I don't know how he's going to do it but I hope the players can help him out because the journey of next season is going to be hard for the coach.

I think I have a contrary opinion to yours concerning Chelsea manager's reaction to his team's defeat in the hands of Manchester City. He said the condition of the pitch was too bad and that caused the team to underperform and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola also confirmed Enzo Maresca's claim about the pitch condition. I know that a lot of Chelsea fans are eager for nothing but success under their new manager but they must first give him all the necessary support and time to succeed.
Talking about sacking him, I don't think there's anyone who would want to sack a manager that's yet to oversee a competitive game.

It is understandable that Chelsea defeat to Manchester City does not reflect the performance they will show next season. However, the defeat must still be evaluated properly by Enzo Maresca, before facing a high pressure official match. Chelsea have spent a large budget to overhaul the squad, especially after the change of ownership, it seems that Todd Boehly needs to be patient longer to enjoy the results of his investment. Chelsea pre-season tour looked disappointing, if that performance is repeated in the Premier League then the change of manager will be regretted. Pochettino began to show signs of development at the end of his journey last season, Enzo Maresca must ensure that Chelsea do not experience a decline. Next, Chelsea will face Real Madrid, most likely the victory will tend to side with Ancelotti squad.

Every preseason match is not a great one to showcase how well a team will do when the league finally begins and Chelsea’s performance in preseason is not an exception. Chelsea is a very talented team but things are not just going well for them now, but with the coming of the new coach, we might see some changes that’ll make them stronger than they use to be. Lot of coaches have benn sacked, I hope Enzo Maresca gets it right now so that he don’t fall into the same shoes as the former coaches did.

The football players are talented and gifted with skills to play football games is the way Pep Guardiola is gifted in managing football players. Manchester City is not his first club to win most of the trophies he is winning, he has done them majorly while in Barcelona even though many people were saying it was Messi influence but he came back to Premier League, rearranged Manchester City players and he is doing well here again, this is not luck but his work and he does it with dedication.

Pep Guardiola strength as a coach cannot be underestimated, he has done a lot of things to make one call him the best. To be successful in two different league and wining trophies back to back is not that simple, so I really admire his managerial skills. Other coaches in the premier league will want to show him how good they are, but I think he’s already ahead of most of them and they can only try. With a good coach and a good team squad, you can go far and beat any team in the league and win the trophy.
