Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Gallar]

So it is clear that Ten Hag's selfish attitude was the main trigger for his failure to bring Manchester United back to its glory days. Therefore, Ten Hag really has to change his attitude if he really wants to be able to bring Manchester United to become champions. And you are right my friend, that this season will definitely be a defining season for Ten Hag. Because if Ten Hag fails this season, he will definitely be fired from Manchester United's coaching.

I don't think Manchester united management is ready to fire Ten Hang because there is no perfect time to fire him than at the end of last season when clubs who were not satisfied with their couch fire them. Everyone expected to wake up to the news of Ten Hang sack but were all shocked hearing that he will continue as the head couch. He has a very good relationship with the management crew and that's what is keeping him. I quite agree that they have players who have potential but then injury is giving them tough time and Ten Hang on the other hand doesn't know how to make good use of the available ones with his preference and selection.

That's why I say Manchester United must reorganize its organization. The reason is that currently Manchester United is in a slightly chaotic situation. Because if you think about it, Ten Hag clearly hasn't brought good progress to Manchester United. However, the Manchester United team or management still maintains Ten Hag in the coaching chair, so this shows that the organizational condition at Manchester United is currently not good. Perhaps the strongest reason Ten Hag was given the opportunity by Manchester United was because Ten Hag succeeded in bringing Manchester United to win the FA Cup this season. However, in my opinion, this is not enough of a consideration to retain Ten Hag. Because in essence Manchester United fans want a more prestigious trophy, such as the Premier League or UCL trophy.

Apart from that, in a few days Manchester United will compete in the Community Shield cup final against Manchester City. In this match, Manchester United or Manchester City will definitely be a little serious. So of course the players he will field are also the main players. I personally favor Manchester City to win this match, so I will bet on Manchester City. Apart from that, I also want to see how Manchester United's actual performance is currently. Is it better than last season or worse, we'll see.

Both Manchester City and Manchester United both had mediocre pre-season matches. they sometimes lose and sometimes win. But that's all because both of them only play second-tier players and young players. But in the Community Shield match, I think both teams will play with their full strengths. And I am sure Manchester City will win the match. I still doubt Manchester United. And again, we know that Hojlund, who is also an important player for Manchester United's attack line, is still injured. And it's likely that Hojlund will only return after the end of August. So Hojlund will definitely miss the match. Leny Yoro is a new player but he has shown a very good game at the back but he is also still injured and will probably return after the end of October. The point is that Manchester United may not be completely ready. Meanwhile, Manchester City is always ready.

I'm not sure if this is an important match or not what is clear is don't be too confident on one side. Indeed, Manchester City deserves to be the favorite to win because they have a better history and statistics it's just that sometimes the unexpected can happen for example they play young or new players well this can mess up our predictions so it's better to wait a few hours before the match starts to see the starting lineup. By the way so far the sportsbooks Stake.com prefer Manchester City and both teams to score YES and over goals are still the favorites to place bets, I don't think both teams think about playing defensively meaning the fight will go on until the last minute and let's wait for the next 4 days.

The Community Shield title is not actually a major trophy and I think here Manchester City will also take it easy to win this trophy. On the other hand, Manchester United will probably be more serious about winning it and at the same time it will be a good additional trophy after previously winning the FA Cup trophy.

I don't remember the last time Manchester City took the Community Shield so seriously and at that time Arsenal were always able to beat them in this match. However, I will not assume more and sometimes Pep Guardiola could be quite annoyed because last season they only managed to collect one EPL trophy and maybe this time they will try to win the Community Shield. Looking at the betting odds, Manchester City is far superior and does not consider Manchester United as a worthy challenger, but the over goal option here will be able to secure a safer bet than betting on one of them.

It's true Community Shield isn't a major trophy, but come on, they already take a long break and now this the first serious match before starting the league. It's not make sense if Manchester City can't perform since they're not tired anymore, they should able to give all out in this match. Although, the big upset that Manchester United won in FA Cup really make them can't be underestimated.

But, there are many of Manchester United's players injured, this time the luck will not be in their side.

But, hopefully with the number of Manchester United's main players injured it does not make Manchester City underestimate Manchester United. Because after all, if Manchester City underestimated Manchester United, it was still very possible for Manchester United to win in the FA Community Shield match later. Indeed, in comparison, of course Manchester City are still a better team but after all, in the FA Cup final match, Manchester City were also the favorite team to win the trophy, but in reality Manchester City can still lose too.

With this factor, then I personally think the factor of underestimating the opposing team can be very bad for the results for the Favorite team. Because even though Manchester United has a lot of injured main players, of course Manchester City must still be able to consider this match as a difficult match. Thus, Manchester City will play with a good effort of course to get the trophy before next season starts.

[Altryist]

I think Erik Ten Hag hasn't finished fixing the fatal weaknesses in the Man United squad to date. Maybe the presence of Leny Yoro will bring a little fresh air to Man Utd's defense. But after hearing the news that this young defender was injured and even underwent surgery and would be out for 3 months. Hearing this, I became doubtful about Man Utd's defense again. Even when Yoro returns from injury, he certainly won't immediately appear as good as he was before his injury. Erik Ten Hag must be a little confused right now. Because even though the season hasn't started yet, they already have injured players. With these conditions, we really can't expect much from Man Utd, who don't seem to be in optimal condition based on the matches they showed in pre-season.

Manchester United lost too many players in several friendly matches, it is not clear why 4 players were injured at once, and what is most offensive is that very important players are injured, without whom it will be more difficult for the team to play, especially since this all happened on the eve of the match with City. I just read that in the friendly match with Liverpool Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka and Fish were injured, some kind of black streak of bad luck is following Manchester United, here I want to say it is good that their friendly matches are over.

[Hanadawa]

Honestly I doubt Chelsea next season but I believe in the process that will be carried out by Enzo Maresca, if he is given support and time by Chelsea management maybe one day Enzo Maresca can make Chelsea win a trophy again.

I am confused and wondering what Chelsea management is doing by selling Conor Gallagher for 30 million pounds. He is a good player but he doesn't seem to fit Chelsea's tactics either last season or this season. But I think 30 million is a cheap price because Atletico Madrid wants Conor Gallagher to perfect their game tactics.
Yes I will also try to believe in the process of rebuilding Chelsea's squad. Chelsea has many potential young players so I don't expect Enzo to give Chelsea a trophy in his first season. I think Maresca will adapt for at least one season. After that we will judge whether Maresca can give progress to Chelsea or not.

[Promocodeudo]

In terms of productivity although their opponents are mostly below their level but of course it is still a little better where they manage to score a ratio of 2 goals / match but it is also not comparable to what they get where their defense is bad because they get 10 goals which clearly shows that no matter how good their attack is, they will not be able to succeed if the defense is weak.

That means that Chelsea need to fix their defense line which is quite weak. In fact, Chelsea has recruited one of the defenders they bought from the American national team, Caleb Wiley, but Chelsea has not used this player on their debut in a friendly match. Maybe Chelsea will consider changing their back line formation when the season starts to change a new strategy so they can compete fiercely in the Premier League next season.

Their results in friendly matches are also quite bad, even though Chelsea is quite productive, but if their defense is weak, they will experience more defeats.

Exactly the point, the defense has been one of Chelsea problem in the recent time, I expected this to be fixed as soon as possible, chelase preason prformance is not worth a discussion because they arent giving what is expected from them,i kmow one will argue it after all it is just friendly games but the lapses are clear and urgent move is needed to correct this before the season kick start, chelsea is known to be one of the competitive teams in the English premier league and i dont it will be nice seeing the underperforming in this new season, I want reemphasize what you said, the manager has to pay more attention to the defense because no matter how god the goalkeeper is, without a good defense line he can't do anything, although lets believe that things  will change because I strongly believe that the manager is taking note on the areas that need improvement, I pray that he does what's expected of him before is too late.

I removed some part of your post due to how lengthy it is. I don't think Manchester united management is ready to fire Ten Hang because there is no perfect time to fire him than at the end of last season when clubs who were not satisfied with their couch fire them. Everyone expected to wake up to the news of Ten Hang sack but were all shocked hearing that he will continue as the head couch.

I quite agree that they have players who have potential but then injury is giving them tough time and Ten Hang on the other hand doesn't know how to make good use of the available ones with his preference and selection.

The injured players was the excuse that Ten Hag used to prove that it was not his fault for the club poor performance last season and he was able to use just one match to convince united management on what he said by winning FA Cup finals which made Manchester united to consider him worthy of giving another chance.

Injuries have started again and Ten Hag should look for a way in which he will be able to manage the players on ground in order to maintain some level of performance and not just losing woefully Luke last season, so that if these injured player are fit again, it can be easy for the team to catch up with other clubs on top four and also finish on top four next season.

Ten Hag has previously said that Manchester United's poor performance last season was due to no other reason than the injuries that befell their squad, but now, when the league hasn't started but precisely one by one the players they have are experiencing injuries and even new players who are expected to strengthen the squad. Manchester United next season, in fact, currently have to be absent for 3 months, to be honest, I think it seems like the training methods used by Ten Hag at the moment are too harsh and tend to make their players vulnerable to injury in the last two seasons he coach.

Right now it is reported that Bissaka will also be joining Westham and if indeed Lindelof is injured so it seems that right now Ten Hag has to rack his brains in preparation for facing Manchester City in their first official match of the season, because I see Manchester United defense line is currently in a very critical condition because of the many injured players.

I think it wasn't their wish to sell Conor Gallagher they are been forced to do it, look at what I discovered

Enzo Maresca says Chelsea are being forced to sell their academy players due to the Premier League's financial rules.

In recent years, the Blues have parted ways with many players who have come through their youth system. Conor Gallagher is the latest homegrown talent set to be sold on, following the likes of Billy Gilmour, Mason Mount, Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi out the door.

The seemingly imminent loss of Gallagher has sparked anger among Chelsea supporters, but new boss Maresca says the club's hands are tied as their need to comply with Profit and Sustainability rules means they must sell players.

Last season, before the FA Cup Competition Finals against Manchester City, I can vividly recall you saying same words like this. I have a clear picture of how you said Manchester City would trash Manchester United in that finals and that he'll be sacked immediately after the game.
Fast forward till today, how has things been? I don't know why you say such things, well they're your opinions and we don't see things the same way. I just want to tell you that Erik Ten Hag is the right man for Manchester United same way I have always advocated for his stay with the club prior to the FA Cup Finals.

One thing you should allow sink in your head is that, he is not a magician and will not be able to get Manchester United to glory days with these players, same players from Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunner Solskjaer. Until they're gone and players with standards, technique and quality comes in Manchester United will go nowhere.

I am not him, but I also said that City would trash United without a doubt, I wasn't even expecting a close game, I was expecting like some high levels of dominance from City, if the game ended with City getting a 5-0 victory, I wouldn't find that shocking. However, the whole world expected that, why did the whole world expected City to just destroy United? What was the reason?

Well I mean it's obvious, Erik Tan Hag made United play awful all season long, had the worst season in decades, I can't even remember a season when United was this bad, and that says something because they had some awful seasons. So just because he won FA cup, we should ignore the fact that he was last place in UCL groups, and he sucked insanely at league?

I do not think that would make sense, I know that he at least won something, it's better than not winning something, but at the end of the day this isn't good enough, it just doesn't make sense to me at all, feels like it is not enough. I think he should be at least doing fine for the league part, if he stays in the top four, even if he is fourth every year, that would be fine. But if he has another season like this, I think he should be fired right away.

The all entries Chelsea has a problem not the third defense Chelsea is in needed of seriously recover, because the way Chelsea has been performing all this while is not something their performance is very low honestly; one thing is ensue no matter how the Chelsea defense good reach of their midfielders are not function well is all the same level.

Chelsea manager needs to put much efforts the team if he really wants the team to be part of the successful clubs next season, because the way I’m seeing Chelsea performance since from last two season that’s how I’m still seeing them up to today there’s nothing changed, but let wait and see either this coming season will be there fervor.

Problems with Manchester United were never down to just the coach, but for the past 4-5 years, everyone kept blaming the coach, not anything else. It started with club legend Ole, and it kept on going. When Ralf Rangnick took charge, he addressed a lot of problems, but the board found him problematic. But it's true that he was right.

On the other hand, Erik Ten Hag is a tactical coach. He really knows how to set up a team and beat them with tactics. He's been unlucky with injuries, and this is something we can't blame him for. He's been decent throughout his time, apart from the injuries his team went through. But yes, the standard is much higher, and I have a strong feeling they can turn it around this season.

That's not right at all to blame the coach for everything because to achieve the success you need to have everything you need like a player and good management also the coach is effective but that's not everything.
They blame the coach for everything in Manchester United while now Ten Hag is not guilty of all the bad results they got however he was effective in these games the had.

I'm not sure if this is an important match or not what is clear is don't be too confident on one side.

City won't play purely defensively but it could happen that they control the ball all game (without trying to take risks, playing "for sure"), then United will have big problems to score a goal. So I'm not at all confident in BTTS. I'll probably just place a simple bet on City, as it will be a normal game (and not a game where City players have not had time to sober up from drinking in honor of the title) as I expect them to justify their status as favorites.

[SmartCharpa]

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 believe Ten Hag has already won the hearts of Manchester United management, he has won two trophies in his previous two seasons, a trophy that several managers were unable to win during their period at the club, and Ten Hag has done it. Even though Ten Hag fails and does not win the title next season, I don't think the management will consider firing him as the best option because every manager has a difficult season, it is not an easy job to win a trophy every season, I believe Ten Hag is doing everything he can to build the squad because last season, when they didn't have the necessary players, he still won a trophy, which satisfied the management that he is the perfect coach to improve the team.

Manchester City is the favorite in their next Community Shield game, as the FA Cup got away from them last season. Even if Manchester City performed poorly in pre-season games, it's clear that they are in better shape and do not have an injured player like Manchester United.

Enzo Maresca seems to have to work harder to create balance in the team, this is because the club has invested too much in young players. I think it will take a few seasons to see Chelsea squad become more mature, so they can become one of the trophy challengers. Chelsea defense is indeed porous, they really need to fix it, especially after the departure of veteran defenders like Thiago Silva. Last season Chelsea conceded 63 goals in the Premier League, it is clear that Enzo Maresca must fix his defense. Chelsea journey on the pre-season tour was also not so good, and soon Chelsea will face Madrid.

Overall Chelsea needs time to be able to return to being a respected team in the Premier League, the young squad that is currently being built needs time to process. If Chelsea avoids the injury storm like last season, Enzo Maresca has the chance to lead Chelsea to a top four finish in the standings. If Chelsea again fails to get a ticket to the Champions League next season, then I predict Enzo Maresca will also be fired like Pochettino.

The Community Shield title is not actually a major trophy and I think here Manchester City will also take it easy to win this trophy. On the other hand, Manchester United will probably be more serious about winning it and at the same time it will be a good additional trophy after previously winning the FA Cup trophy.

I don't remember the last time Manchester City took the Community Shield so seriously and at that time Arsenal were always able to beat them in this match. However, I will not assume more and sometimes Pep Guardiola could be quite annoyed because last season they only managed to collect one EPL trophy and maybe this time they will try to win the Community Shield. Looking at the betting odds, Manchester City is far superior and does not consider Manchester United as a worthy challenger, but the over goal option here will be able to secure a safer bet than betting on one of them.

It's true Community Shield isn't a major trophy, but come on, they already take a long break and now this the first serious match before starting the league. It's not make sense if Manchester City can't perform since they're not tired anymore, they should able to give all out in this match. Although, the big upset that Manchester United won in FA Cup really make them can't be underestimated.

But, there are many of Manchester United's players injured, this time the luck will not be in their side.

Still the Community Shield could be important for them in this match, I'm sure they will field their main squad to win this match we don't know how much possession but sure it will be Manchester City.

That is not in favor of Manchester United, some of the main players must be absent due to injury, I don't dare to bet on Manchester United's victory if the situation is like now like a lack of players later.

Maybe Erik Ten Hag will try to make a better strategy in order to win the match with his rivals.

It will simply be a City match... I would say that Manchester United moral for the pre-season has been calmed by injuries of both their old and newly signed players. So, I do not expect them to face Manchester City with alot of energy in order not to sustain more injuries before season will start.

However it is community shield which doesn't have much importance but yet it is a derby match and so we expect it to have the derby weight. So, it will still be an interesting match and probably a win for the citizens.

By the way so far the sportsbooks Stake.com prefer Manchester City and both teams to score YES and over goals are still the favorites to place bets, I don't think both teams think about playing defensively meaning the fight will go on until the last minute and let's wait for the next 4 days.

City won't play purely defensively but it could happen that they control the ball all game (without trying to take risks, playing "for sure"), then United will have big problems to score a goal. So I'm not at all confident in BTTS. I'll probably just place a simple bet on City, as it will be a normal game (and not a game where City players have not had time to sober up from drinking in honor of the title) as I expect them to justify their status as favorites.

I see nothing special in this game. We know the FA Cup is more prestigious than the Community Shield. I prefer to bet on a City win. United beat City in last season's FA Cup, but I'm not sure if City will play with their full squad. And losing in this game doesn't make one of these clubs a loser. 
United had a few new players. They have not yet integrated with their system. I take double chance as my safe zone to bet. Also, winning or losing doesn't matter in this game. I see it as a glorified friendly match between Manchester United and Manchester City.
