Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[SirLancelot]

Newcastle has officially reject the offers from Arsenal for Alexander Isak and Arsenal also has been withdraw to gets this player because Arsenal feel Alexander Isak is too expensive and indeed Newcastle probably will thinking to sell Alexander Isak this summer but they only want approximately 130 million which this price make most clubs who interested to him will not dare to pay according to his price tag and this also makes Arsenal has been give up to gets Alexander Isak and switching their target to look for other players

Arsenal actually is quite active this summer to gets the players and so far they have already gets Riccardo Calafiori, David Raya and Mikel Merino but they still required new striker just like we know but until now Arsenal still haven't gets the player they want and previously indeed Arsenal make Alexander Isak as their priority but unfortunately this transfer will not be happend

Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres indeed currently is linked to them but apparently this is only rumours because Arsenal never bid for these players especially for Victor Osimhen because similar to Alexander Isak this player has expensive price and i am sure Arsenal will not dare to pay over than 100 million for Victor Osimhen and the latest news about Arsenal target player is they were interested to buy Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig but Arsenal have to dissapoint because Benjamin Sesko refuse the offers from them and signing new contract with Leipzig

We all know how Arsenal are worried about their striker spot which is having quality and their budget is unlimited so they are looking for a player who fits their budget and whose performance is top-notch, but now situation is completely changed in market because top strikers are having huge tag price and their all-hard work is already ended without any development.

Newcastle Untied is also having some good targets for the next season so they are having tag of €130 Million which is not under budget of Arsenal. They are already having same replies from other clubs this situation is not ideal but as we are heading for the last few days before start of new season we will be having some sorted out situation for them.

Arsenal is serious about their next season, and they are busy in this as well but can they go through with quality striker after having many rejections it's important for them, and they need to work out of this quickly.

[Docnaster]

Arsenal finally gave up on getting the Newcastle United striker because their offer was rejected, or in other words, Newcastle didn't want to sell him. I think that the improvement in Isak's quality has attracted a lot of attention, but it's a shame that Arteta's target has failed.
For Eddie, of course he wants to keep Isak together because they have a big target this season to be able to compete again at the top of the standings.
So for the Gunners, of course they want to improve their front line because they need an attacker who can score lots of goals to bring them to victory in every match.

Seeing that Arsenal have finally given up in their chase Aleksander Isak I don't think is good news to the supporters of the north London club considering their performance of last season and how they seriously need a sharp like Isak complete their near perfect team. I understand that Arsenal do not want to overprice Newcastle for the services of Isak but I think it would've been better for them to table a high fee that would've helped convince Newcastle to let go of their striker. Maybe they have a second plan for another deadly striker but if Arsenal fails to land a big-game striker to the club this summer, I will not be expecting anything better than what we all saw from them last season.

It's obvious this will be the right thing for any team who are really ready to compete they can't sell their main man, he is among their key success though was affected by injuries  woe last season but his impact is always felt when he is on the pitch.
Also I wonder why Arsenal thought they may get him because it's obvious Newcastle are not like any other lower club that may be tempted by big money and I guessed Isak can only leave if he wants to which I doubt will be the case here since is love at the club.

Newcastle only found their bearing last two season and they have being in a good performance due to the commitment of the players and the coach. The club is trying to build a strong team and we saw how they were able to qualify to UCL last two seasons.

I don't see any reason why Newcastle will sell Isak, a brilliant attack with great potentials and when he is on the field he contributes tirelessly to add impact on the match. Newcastle is a rich club and I don't think that they have plans of selling any of their main man because they also want to win the title and selling Isak will not be the best for them.

Of course Alexander Isak's performance has improved tremendously, he is one of the major player that has helped contributed to the growth of Newcastle, so somebody like that, I doubt Newcastle will easily let go of him. However arsenal are not serious in looking for Sharp striker, if you want a top 9 that has great caliber, they need to break the Bank and get out good money for transfer window.

Mikel arteta needs to understand that he doesn't need to manage a bad situations, the arsenal team doesn't have much problems, except for a regular scoring striker, so the arsenal Board need to come to the realization that, releasing good money will certainly get a good catch in the market,  the transfer window is still open so there is still ample time, arsenal should make hay while the sun is still shining.

[Hyphen(-)]

I never expected the deal to work out for both teams. Arsenal has the money to pay after selling two players and loaning out one. How will Arteta think that getting Isak this summer will be done, without Isak Eddie forward play won't work as it did last season. if Eddie agrees to the deal who will score their goals. But wait what did Arteta need again when he had Kai Harvers, and Gabriel Jesus on his forward line, is it that they are not capable of scoring the goals he needed?

Compared to other teams like Manchester City, and other big teams that winning trophies across Europe, how many goals does their strikers score? They score reasonable number of goals that help their team to achieve greatness which is trophies at the end of every season.

Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus are good no doubt, but how many goals can both of them score for Arsenal? The wingers we have are even given us more goals than our strikers which simply means we cannot rely on them to win titles. We need a reliable striker which was why an offer to sign Isak was made; I hope we get a striker before the end of the transfer window.

[SmartCharpa]

Your wish seems unreal after Chelsea's horrific performance against Manchester City's young squad. I'd rather take 10th as the possible for Chelsea to finish in the current season.

Smile, you want Chelsea to stay in their favorite spot next season. Chelsea's performance against Manchester City was poor, the attackers did well, but the defense was very weak, if a team concedes more than it scores, it's absolutely nothing because they can't get any points in their games. So, despite all of the players Chelsea has signed, they can still concede many goals in their games. If Chelsea continues to perform like this next season, they cannot finish among the top four Premier League teams.

Joshua Zirkzee is a good enough player. But will he be a worthy replacement for Hojlund? I don't think so. Joshua Zirkzee played last season at Bologna. Adapting to the Premier League is a bit time-consuming. It is unlikely that he will fit into Manchester United's squad very quickly. But if Joshua Zirkzee can quickly adapt himself to Manchester United's players then he will surely become a worthy replacement for Hojlund.

At this stage, I believe we can only be concerned with adapting to the club, as some players struggle to get used to the Premier League in their first season. Joshua Zirkzee's stats for Bologna's previous season were not bad; he scored 12 goals in 37 appearances for Bologna. Despite the fact that the Premier League is difficult for some players, Hojlund managed to score 10 goals in the Premier League last season. If Zirkzee quickly gets used to the league and the club, I think he will be a perfect replacement for Hojlund.

There are still many weaknesses in Manchester United's squad. And I would say coach Ten Hag has yet to take the necessary steps to strengthen his squad. We don't see good performances from Manchester United players in friendly matches. I don't even see the possibility of this team doing well next season. Manchester United cannot be in the top four of the table.

Manchester United, in my opinion, can finish among the top four teams next season because the club currently has the players needed to beat any of its opponents, If Manchester United fails to finish among the top four next season, Ten Hags must accept the blame because the club provided him with what they needed. Furthermore, if Manchester United injured players are ready to play and Ten Hag improves the players, I think the team will perform well.

[Coyster]

Then about Man City, I think they are still a statistically favored team. But the EPL always displays a difference at the beginning of the new season. Sometimes there are some teams that are late to start the season well.

It doesn't even matter how City start at the beginning of the season, does it? They just end up winning the league and that is why they are unstoppable. The mentality of Pep is unbelievable, how he pushes his players every season is beyond me, despite all the success they have achieved. They are starting this season again as favorites and right now who can say who will stop them.

The community shield does not really count for much, neither is it an indication of much as well, City can lose it and have an unbelievable season, meanwhile United can win it and have a dismal season.

[Cryptmuster]

in the match against manchester city proves chelsea has not shown significant development. chelsea's defense looks weak, we know this match is just a trial for coaches to mature strategies for readiness in the real competition, but yes I doubt if you look at the preparations made by chelsea at this time, what they show with a bad appearance, then it is clear that for now chelsea is not ready to be a competitor to compete for the premier league trophy.
yes the weakness in chelsea's back line must be overcome immediately by buying good CB players and chelsea should be able to if you look at stable finances.

In all the games except game with America game they have conceded two or more goals, but on the other hand it is very difficult to focus on defense when the coach makes almost a complete change of the squad during the game. I think that friendlies should not be taken too seriously in assessing the team and the players' form, but the general opinion about the team can be obtained, and so far I am not very happy with the way Maresca has transformed Chelsea. Now there are rumors that they may let Gallagher go to Atletico, in my opinion this is bad news for Chelsea...

Last season, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah both disappointed in the striker role. The choice of Kai Havertz is only effective in terms of playmaking ability because the former Chelsea star is not good at finishing. Therefore, this summer, Arsenal aims to bring in a world-class striker. But the obvious answer to the Alexander Isak deal is clear, Arsenal should give up on this deal.

Mikel Arteta could look for alternative options to strengthen his attack next season. Arsenal could make a return bid for Brentford's Ivan Toney. Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres I think are also quite reasonable for Arsenal.

[shinratensei_]

Chelsea need to use the pre-season games to find a suitable strategy based on the players they currently have, the players also need to adapt to the style used by the new coach and some of the newly brought in players need to be tested while the pre-season is still ongoing. Enzo Maresca has a lot of work to do during pre-season, he has to be able to adapt the players to his playing style and choose the right players to fill the line up according to the strategy he uses.

Enzo Maresca must be able to prove his ability that he is worthy of handling Chelsea, this is still just pre-season, the real match will soon await him, so he needs to prepare the team thoroughly before the new season begins. Facing Real Madrid is certainly a challenge for Chelsea players, they must be able to beat Real Madrid even though Ancelotti does not field his squad at full strength because the victory can help Chelsea players to increase their confidence.

Considering how demanding the Chelsea management is of coaches, I will say that Maresca has very little time, he needs to achieve results immediately, if he misses the start of the season, and Chelsea settles somewhere in the middle of the standings, then it will be very difficult, or even impossible, to get higher, because the leaders will break away.

I expect the same narrative as what happened last season. The narrative is about when Maresca will fail to deliver. Then, Todd is ready to fire him as head coach mid-season. Todd will then appoint an interim to fill the role temporarily.
This is pretty much the same as when Todd decided to sign back Lampard when Potter failed to deliver.

And so far I do not see that Maresca was able to attract any important players who would help the team achieve this, or any improvement in the game in friendly matches, everything remains the same. If Boehly wants to make Chelsea a top team, then he needs a top coach and very significant funds for transfers, these will be significant changes to the team, but without this I do not believe that Chelsea will be able to change anything.

About Chelsea rarely attracts top players to help the club. I think they have no interest in recruiting experienced players. And they have gone the opposite way when Chelsea is only recruiting young talent to join the squad. Imagine a team with no experienced players, and nothing to expect from Chelsea.
Chelsea had a top coach last season, and he started to deliver, but Todd fired him. Also, Chelsea has a large fund for the transfer season. But, the scouting team is a problem. Chelsea could never recruit a good player at a bargain price. Also, none of its transfers since Todd became chairman have been efficient.

[Slow death]

Ready or not, good or bad they will see next season against Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley.

Man United have made several transfers to get the ideal player for next season. But one of the players who was transferred was injured and it was disadvantageous. Ten Hag has been given options and funds to improve the team. If there is no improvement next season, it seems that he deserves to be fired.

Then about Man City, I think they are still a statistically favored team. But the EPL always displays a difference at the beginning of the new season. Sometimes there are some teams that are late to start the season well.

I honestly can't understand Manchester United's management. They have a lot of money, they could sign the best players and they would be a strong team like Real Madrid or Manchester City, but they are worse than many teams that don't have the money Manchester United has. This shows that Manchester United's problem lies in the management and the coach. For this season, Manchester United's coach has two assistant coaches, but even so I haven't seen them making any major changes to the squad. They made some signings that in my opinion won't have a big impact this season.

Manchester United's forwards aren't doing well either. For example:

Marcus Rashford = played 3 friendly matches, but only scored 1 goal, which was a penalty.

Mason Mount = played 3 friendly games, but didn't score any goals

Jadon Sancho = played 3 friendly matches, but didn't score any goals

If Manchester United were a team that wanted to fight for the Premier League title and win European competitions, they would be signing great players from other leagues, for example they could have signed Victor Osimhen, if they offered the amount of money that Napoli wants or at least offered close to the amount that Napoli wants, then they would have Victor Osimhen, they could also have signed Viktor Gyokeres who is a good striker from Sporting. In the past Manchester United made good signings like Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo... but in recent years Manchester United has been a team that does not have great players.

[redsun114]

This is the first time Sevilla has faced Fulham and this match will be historic between the two clubs, The match will take place at the Estádio Algarve stadium. Fulham has been able to show a high level of performance in the pre-season, while Sevilla is still getting used to the new manager Pimienta. Sevilla are no longer themselves. Although a name in Spanish football, in recent years, Sevilla's transfer policy has been quite modest, only attracting names that are out of date.
So I also believe that Fulham will win, but it will not be easy for them. I predict a narrow 2-1 win in favor of Fulham. But I will not try my luck in this match and other friendlies. It's just a friendly match so it's hard to predict.

Fulham having good performance in last season ended at 13th with 47 points in this season they are strengthening their squad with quality players management is feeling they need to be had some improvement before start as challenges are coming, and they need to be prepared having first win against Benfica and now facing Sevilla which is badly struggling into last season and things are looking not positive, but they are also doing their best for having development and things on track.

In this preseason game which is going to play Portugal surely give them some practice and their players will be also had good start of their campaign in coming season while Fulham is having the toughest start of season first game at Old Trafford against Manchester United, and then they will be host Newcastle United at Caravan cottage so they surely will give their best for another good season.

[KTChampions]

A very risky bet in my opinion. Sevilla have something to prove - over the last two seasons they have been thrown out of the list of serious clubs and apparently want to return there, so they will not lose without a fight to an ordinary club from the Premier League, for which the main task for the season is not to be eliminated to the Championship.
It seems to me that it would be safer to take BTTS and total 2.5 over here.

As what he said, he does not take it seriously so I think he does care about the risk but he wants to take it still.
Pre-season match is just friendly match and most team usually use the match as a time to try strategies and lineups as well as to evaluate all the available players.
Of course if I have to bet then I'll skip to bet on 1x2 as what I said several times before, BTTS or Over 2.5 goals is better choice than 1x2.
Well, I hope he will win the bet although he does not take it seriously because a win is still a win and it may give extra money to bet for other matches later.

It seems to me that the randomness in friendly games is so great that it is easier to bet on roulette. There is nothing to predict here at all. His previous two bets were BTTS on two games, and in the end only one goal was scored in the two games (the odds seemed to be something like 1.65 and 1.8 ).
It is clear that if we want to have fun, then any bet is good, but in my opinion it is closer to roulette than to betting.

We don't see good performances from Manchester United players in friendly matches. I don't even see the possibility of this team doing well next season. Manchester United cannot be in the top four of the table.

Smiled me when I heard about Manchester United. Their weaknesses are still visible there is no change even though lately Erik Ten Hag along with his asisten and Manchester United management is preparing the maturity of the squad to face the competition.
Losing to Arsenal and Liverpool in the matching match continues to be a conversation that there are still many weaknesses that must be addressed by them.

Ready or not, good or bad they will see next season against Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley.

You are right that Manchester United coach Ten Hag has not taken any steps to strengthen the squad even though there are many weaknesses within the squad. At the same time, Hojlund's injury has weakened Manchester United's attack. Last season also we saw Manchester United's weak defense and weak attack. Ten Hag should have taken the necessary steps to strengthen Manchester United's defence. Manchester United needed to add talented and experienced defenders to the squad. If the defense is not strong, Manchester United will not be stable next season.

Also, without Hojlund in Manchester United's squad next season, the overall performance of Manchester United's attack will also be weak. So I don't expect much from this squad next season. Also, I don't see good performances from Manchester United players even in friendly matches.

[naira]

Then about Man City, I think they are still a statistically favored team. But the EPL always displays a difference at the beginning of the new season. Sometimes there are some teams that are late to start the season well.

I also can't see Manchester United going any better for next season. Lack of creativity and the composition of the players they have is very below standard. While Manchester City remains the same and can even be much better for next season, there is nothing to worry about The Citizens considering the management of this club is well organized. Manchester United under Erik Ten Hag can no longer put high hopes, no matter how good the Manchester United players are, they still depend on the quality of the coach. Now Erik Ten Hag is pushing himself too hard and next season bad results will be the end result for his career as United coach.

[beerlover]

Newcastle United don't have a lack of money, they have no reason to sell their best striker to one of direct competitor in Premier League. Newcastle United are ambitious and want to join top four again in next season, to participate in Champions League again next two seasons.

Arteta can feel that Arsenal have weakness at the striker position but he needs to find a player to replace Gabriel Jesus somewhere else, not from Newcastle United. Around the world, recent years there are very limited world class strikers and this makes competition on transfer market to purchase a top-notch striker, is very difficult.

Isak was expected to replace Ibrahimovic in Swedish national team but now he is no longer young and still can not meet this expectation because his level is far to reach Ibrahimovic's level.

In fact, if you think about what the ownership means, we could basically say that Newcastle United has the richest owner of all time. The team is owned by "the public investment fund" and has a trillion dollars in assets, it's the government of Saudi Arabia that owns the fund, and Saudi Arabia is a kingdom with a king, meaning that the ownership of that fund is bin salmans and nobody else's, so we could say that a king of a whole nation owns it, and not like some small African tribe where they still lack water wells, I mean Saudi Arabia, one of the richest nations in the world, and king of that nation owns the team.

So we can safely assume that financial fair play is the max they can have, that's literally their max, because if it wasn't for financial fair play, they could pay a billion dollars per player on transfers and pay 100 million on salaries, just like they are doing at Saudi league as well. So they are only following the limits they have, and have no need to sell anyone at all.

[Blitzboy]

`

That happened last season in the Chelsea team and whether Chelsea can get much better results next season, it seems that it is still quite difficult to say now because next season Chelsea will also be coached by a new coach with a composition of young players who should be better. But I don't know if Chelsea will be better or even worse because in the Premier League if there is a team that is less consistent in winning matches, the team will be left behind more easily and cannot become champions.

Chelsea: New management, new players - this creates uncertainty. Even with Pochettino trying to turn the ship, last season was average. Now Enzo is leading, a lot of youngsters under tow, and its a gamble if they will mesh fast.

In the Premier League you snooze and you lose. Every dropped point is a nail in the coffin of title dreams. Its about Enzo discovering that magic formula quickly, not only about development. Should they stumble early on, it is an uphill fight all season. Enzo works a hard job, people. Though there is promise, another season of disappointment is also very possible. We shall have to wait to see how this one turns out.

[Palakka]

A very risky bet in my opinion. Sevilla have something to prove - over the last two seasons they have been thrown out of the list of serious clubs and apparently want to return there, so they will not lose without a fight to an ordinary club from the Premier League, for which the main task for the season is not to be eliminated to the Championship.

It is clear that if we want to have fun, then any bet is good, but in my opinion it is closer to roulette than to betting.

Friendly matches actually give us a greater risk of losing money in betting, so we should be selective and not be careless in betting on the team that seems more favorite in that match, because so far I have seen that many of us are actually more dominant in considering the favorite team who will win in a friendly match, even though in reality the favorite the team prefers not to play seriously by fielding a young squad, equating a friendly match with roulette might make more sense for us because both will make it difficult for us to choose the right one to win the bet , currently choosing to play parlay with the option of under or over goals is a better option than betting on a teamvictory in a friendly match.

[Marvell1]

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.

I understand that Manchester city is very strong. And I agree that Manchester city is the best team in the English premier league right now. But I don’t know if it is a very good idea to actually think that happens, Manchester city is going to win the English Premier league title. a lot of things could go wrong. The biggest thing which could go wrong is that They might face injury problems. And we all know how important all the players of Manchester city are right now for the squad.

Arsenal is expected to perform really well again. And I think we all are expecting that Arsenal is going to give a good competition for the English Premier league title.

I honestly do not know about Liverpool. I will have to watch some matches before making any comments on them.

Ten Hag has been given options and funds to improve the team. If there is no improvement next season, it seems that he deserves to be fired.

Fired a word that sounds a little rough in my opinion. There is another word that in my opinion feels more appropriate that is stopped if the freedom has been given to Erik Ten Hag but cannot provide a target that has long been desired by Manchester United.
Yoro, the new player in question has been on the operating table. Most later when fighting Manchester City, Martinez, Lindelof or Maguire which will be an option at the defender position.

Then about Man City, I think they are still a statistically favored team. But the EPL always displays a difference at the beginning of the new season. Sometimes there are some teams that are late to start the season well.

On paper I championed Manchester City. Man City will play well as when they beat Chelsea. The game Manchester City when defeating Chelsea on August 4 was no different from last season's performance.
