Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[hyudien]

Now, and that person is me

That's why I said "if they lose" means there is still a 50% chance of winning. If I say "definitely lose" it means a 100% chance.

Isn't there anything wrong with doubting Manchester United? with Erik Ten Hag who always has difficulty utilizing his players. The goalkeeper who has inconsistent performance this season, the attack line that has no vision of scoring goals and new purchases are injured, it is no wonder to doubt the next performance against Southampton. still makes sense

Considering the level of inconsistency in the Manchester United team under Erik ten Hag, I don't think there's anything wrong with your opinion is absolutely valid. If Manchester City or Liverpool were to be the team that's facing Southampton this weekend, I'm very sure you'll have a different opinion but because it's Manchester United, there's every possibility that they'll be beaten by the Saints.

Different people give their opinions here without being sentimental while others do based on their sentiments and how passionate they're about their beloved clubs but in the end, we all are free to express our opinions regarding English Premier League related issues on this thread.

Almost all of us have doubts about the Red Devils, whether it's the coach who is struggling to build or the quality of players who are declining. Even Marcus Rashford seems to have run out of time at United, Bruno Fernandez cannot work alone without a partner who can understand his wishes. There are so many issues we can talk about with Man United, but this week game against Southampton is a must win. Although there are a number of doubts about the club performance, at least with the opponent's condition also much worse, Erik Ten Hag can definitely benefit.

[Slow death]

I wondered if I am the only one who feels like Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag did not feel disappointed when he said all those words in the press conference, imagine how a coach opens his mouth he says the team doesn't have what it takes to win a trophy, a coach can not be saying all those things that he is saying and again he is still the problem of the team, Manchester United should realize that the coach is the main problem of the team, I have never seen any coach that keeps doing the same thing that makes his team lose except Manchester united coach.

Manchester United's problem is not just the coach, it's a problem that started in 2004 when the Glazers family bought Manchester United, the team started to slowly fall apart. At that time it wasn't very visible because they had a good coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, who had been at Manchester United since 1986, so the Glazers family didn't fire him, which is why Manchester United didn't sink. But after 2013 when Alex Ferguson left Manchester United.

it started to become visible that the club's owners were not prepared to manage the club and everything got worse because instead of selling the entire club, they only sold 27.7% to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and in practice the Glazers family is still in charge. Now Manchester United has 2 owners (Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe), has 3 coaches ( Erik ten Hag Manager, René Hake Assistant Manager and Ruud van Nistelrooy Assistant Manager ), the whole club is at a very ridiculous. As long as Manchester United have these owners, they will not succeed. Unfortunately

It's easy to tag the Red devil's to be one of the weakest teams in the EPL at the moment, but after seeing some of its players put up a good performance in the international games...I have a feeling this could be a turning point for for the Red Devils...and by the way it's not like Southampton themselves are in such a good form that it could guarantee them that victory that is being talked about, they need to put in the work to get a goal!

Different people give their opinions here without being sentimental while others do based on their sentiments and how passionate they're about their beloved clubs but in the end, we all are free to express our opinions regarding English Premier League related issues on this thread.

Lol we are all entitled to our opinions and a game of sport will always have different views.

Everyone has their ways of seeing or observing a football team and a it Players. Manchester United was not like and I believed it is because of the Erik ten Hag poor coaching that affecting the club. And the way I looked at they are even performing worse in this season. And if they can get good coach then they can revived back again.
When a good coach comes to a team and the players were weak, he would revived them and select outstanding players and among all if any of the players is not doing well, he would replace it to have a outstanding squad. The major issue in football team is coach before players.

[Swordsoffreedom]

betting on MU is quite risky. although the Odds offered will benefit MU, its performance is unstable. on paper, MU should be able to get a winning point even though playing at Southampton's home ground. but still, I'm not sure about Ten Hag. I actually hope Southampton will give a surprise by beating MU. many fans are disappointed with Ten Hag and urge management to immediately fire him. I think it's not without reason because so much money has been spent to recruit players but the strategy implemented by Ten Hag has never succeeded in improving MU's game.

I also think that betting on Man united at the moment will always be more risky. Because they don't seem to have found their own game pattern. They are like a team that is still confused at the moment. And I think all of this is caused by their coach who cannot bring out the maximum quality from this team. But even so, Man United should still be stronger than Southampton.

We can see Southampton's record at the start of this season which really shows a very bad record. They have lost 3 times in a row in their opening 3 matches at the start of this season. So I think betting on Man United is quite risky. but because their opponent this time is Southampton, I think we can still consider betting on Man United. But if it turns out that Man United is not able to beat Southampton then I don't think we will expect Man United to return at all this season.

However, Manchester United's performance is very poor. Manchester United's performance is very difficult to predict. And in the first three matches of this season, we do not see a better performance than Manchester United. Still, I'd say Manchester United will do no wrong against Southampton.

Had the Southampton team been a bit stronger, or had we seen some consistent performances from the team over the past few matches, I would have said the match was likely to be competitive. But Southampton lost all three matches. Southampton's gameplay is very poor. Moreover, I cannot call Manchester United team weak in home matches. Manchester United's gameplay is weak and even match strategy is weak. However, I think Manchester United will try their best to get full points against Southampton. And I decided to bet United to win this match.

With the present stats, Liverpool is pulling alright, they are giving this season their best. But Man City has won four consecutive seasons now, and I'm not sure they would want someone else to take the cup from them, nobody likes to be dethroned.

Also, Man City still have the potentials, and with what have been played, and the bar they've raised, I don't think any team is ready or prepared to challenge them because they'll also be training relentlessly.

They also have the top goal scorer (Halland with 7 goals in 3 games) in top 5 leagues in Europe. Halland is still young and active, ready to burn it all out to retain the trophy. So think about it , man city might win it again for the 5th season straight.

Manchester City winning the trophy this season is obviously a big possibility.
Unless the other teams actually start giving Manchester City a big competition instead of just pretending, Manchester City is going to win the English Premier League title again.

I hope Arsenal is actually going to give some competition to Manchester City this time.
Arsenal have already drawn one match. But I don’t want to be too harsh on them because this is just the start of the season.
We still still have the whole season left. 
So far Liverpool looks good as well. I hope the other teams will be able to play well and praying results consistently.
Otherwise, it is going to be a very hard job for them to actually challenge Manchester City for the title.

That's the point, or the point is no matter how or how bad the situation is in the Manchester United squad that makes it difficult for them to appear impressively, victory in the next match against Southampton is still an obligation for Ten Hag if he does not want to get harsh criticism again and also if he still wants to stay as a coach there.

On the other hand, if the match was not held at Southampton's home ground, then maybe I would be quite confident with Manchester United's victory even though they are having problems in performance, but of course as we know the match will be held at Southampton's home ground, and this is a situation that makes it quite difficult for me to put too much trust in Ten Hag to end the match with full points.

From my point of view, Ten Hag has a system and is rich in strategy. unfortunately, what he implemented did not go according to plan and his wishes. the problem is not the system, tactics or technical problems. but more on non-technical, for example the players who for some reason find it difficult to follow the coach's wishes. not because United players do not have the ability, they actually have good depth. but it seems like the bonding problem is an obstacle, Ten Hag cannot embrace his players with a more per-to-per approach. well, some of the players you mentioned like Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandez are players who have high selfishness. often, they want to highlight their abilities rather than prioritizing teamwork. IMO, if Ten Hag is able to control his players and has close chemistry and bonding, I'm sure United will perform great. because, they actually have a chance. this week United will visit Southampton's headquarters, they should be able to get full points.

Well, even considering how inconsistent Man United is at the moment, if their opponent is Southampton then Man United should still be the favorites in this match. So I don't think it's bad to trust Man United only for that match, namely the Man United vs Southampton match.

As a team that has just been promoted back to the Premier League, we see that this team still seems to be having difficulty competing in the Premier League. In the 2022-23 season they were relegated. And then this season they came back. But it seems that their conditions are still not much different. So we have strong enough reasons to favor Man United in this match.

[Iranus]

Liverpool they also started this season well. In fact, Liverpool hasn't conceded a single goal this season. They always win with a clean score. And I think that's extraordinary, considering that the opponents Liverpool faced at the start of this season were two strong teams such as Man United and Brentford. And one promotional team, namely Ipswich. Liverpool might be said to be lucky enough to immediately find a suitable coach to continue the squad that Klopp built.

Yes, three wins out of three without conceding any goal is really impressive.

The start has been good for. I hope they will be able to continue performing well. I expected the start to be good for them because, after all, they are playing under a new coach. And whenever almost any club brings in a new coach, the team seems to perform better. Maybe because they are playing with new enthusiasm.

But I actually like the fact that Arne Slot did not make any big changes to the squad and still is bringing in pretty good results. Maybe he is actually proving that to bring in good results, you do not need to go bankrupt.  
Just like some certain coaches of some certain English Premier League club are doing right now. Or I should say “was doing” because it seems like they are pretty broke right now.



Anyway, ESPN UK published an online talk about Liverpool's sustainably throughout the season, Steve Nicol former defender of LFC said still he is not confident enough with Arne Slot's side. Whatever, I hope the Reds will be able to compete for the title till the end. And if they are actually worthy, they will be able to win the English Premier League title. I am not expecting too much, am I?

As long as Arne Slot is able to maintain Liverpool's performance as it is now, their dream of winning the title this season should come true. It's just that the real problem for all teams is maintaining this consistency throughout the season. And yes, I hope Liverpool can continue to be consistent with the good results they are currently having. And most importantly, Liverpool must hope that in their team there are no players who suffer injuries as has happened in several other clubs. Because if one of the core players is injured, it will usually disrupt the team's performance and a decline will occur. Currently, Arsenal and Tottenham are one of the teams that have had to give up several of their players due to injuries suffered by the players during the international break. And I actually hope that something similar doesn't happen in Liverpool. but I heard the news that Alexis Mac Allister was also injured. If that's true then this is bad news for Liverpool. But fortunately, the latest news states that the Liverpool player did not suffer a serious injury.

Liverpool's performance has been good at the beginning of this season. but indeed a big challenge will soon come when the tight schedule they will do. but the competition with Man City will also experience the same problem.
last season Liverpool lost a lot of points to catch up with Man City and Arsenal. and they must avoid that this season if they want to compete for the trophy. I hope the competition this season will be tighter. some teams started very well, and it will only see who is more consistent.

If you want to bet on the Southampton vs Manchester United match, then you can still consider a draw or Manchester United winning over Southampton. Manchester United's winning probability is quite convincing in my opinion, but you can bet on a draw if you don't believe in the away team's chances of winning. I have confidence in Manchester United to win that match, it's good to just have fun.

Although, when it comes to placing a bet between Manchester United and any other team they will play with regardless of the team performance, I always find it difficult to do because Manchester City performance sometimes is kind of surprising the way you think it may not go like that. And sometimes it will even go beyond your expectations. However, as for this match, I would rather place the bet on a draw and not Manchester United to win. I can't confidently give them a winning chance because of the result they had in their last matches. 

Ten Hag will try to win the full 3 points in this away match following two previous defeats against Liverpool and Brighton. There is no reason for Ten Hag to remain silent on the sidelines and watch his team get beaten by a bottom team like Southampton, if he did then it would really be a shame for Ten Hag. He must find a definite solution so he can go home with a maximum of 3 points, including finding the right lineup and strategy.

Sure, Southampton is in the 19th spot in the table, so if Manchester United lose this match, then seriously, it will be a shameful thing for them, as you said, and also, it will be too bad to lose 3 matches when the season just gets started. I hope Manchester United will do everything in their power to secure the 3 points you said so they can move forward in the table too.

Mikel Arteta signs three-year Arsenal contract extension

Mikel Arteta signed a new three-year contract to remain as Arsenal manager, the club announced on Thursday.

ESPN reported the news earlier on Thursday, with sources adding that Arteta, 42, of Spain, will receive a significant increase on his existing £9 million-a-year ($11.7m) salary.


Arteta's contract was due to expire next summer, although he told ESPN in an exclusive interview on July 4 that he didn't "predict any issues happening" when extension talks took place and last month added that all parties would address the situation when the transfer window closed.

"I feel extremely proud, very excited and am looking forward to what is coming next. I'm proud to be where I am and have the relationships that I have with everyone at the club," Arteta said in a statement.

"I feel extremely lucky to work every single day with good people and the ambition we have here. I feel very inspired, I feel challenged, I feel supported and I want to do much more than what we've already done together."

Arsenal have always been confident that Arteta would commit his future to the club, but the news will still come as a boost as they try to topple Manchester City and win their first Premier League title since 2004.

Arsenal have finished second to City in each of the past two seasons and sought to close the gap by adding Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino over the summer, in addition to the late loan arrival of Raheem Sterling from Chelsea.

Almost all of us have doubts about the Red Devils, whether it's the coach who is struggling to build or the quality of players who are declining. Even Marcus Rashford seems to have run out of time at United, Bruno Fernandez cannot work alone without a partner who can understand his wishes. There are so many issues we can talk about with Man United, but this week game against Southampton is a must win. Although there are a number of doubts about the club performance, at least with the opponent's condition also much worse, Erik Ten Hag can definitely benefit.

Of course, there are so many problems that are still difficult to resolve within Manchester United to this day. Whoever the coach is, Manchester United will not improve rapidly in one season. Several previous coaches have also failed with fans' high expectations, while Ten Hag will also end the same.

The performance of Manchester United players is very erratic. They are unstable, of course sometimes they can play very well and sometimes they play very badly. But it is reasonable to expect Manchester United to win against Southampton at the weekend, because Southampton are the worse team. Without a single win since the start of the season has left Southampton struggling in the relegation zone, but there is a chance of them getting back up especially to maintain their record against certain teams.

[Richbased]

With the present stats, Liverpool is pulling alright, they are giving this season their best. But Man City has won four consecutive seasons now, and I'm not sure they would want someone else to take the cup from them, nobody likes to be dethroned.

Saying that nobody likes to be dethroned sounds very funny because I don't know when the premier league turned to a league where a particular team keeps winning the league all the time and moreover, Manchester City has won the premiership on four consecutive seasons now so if they succeed to win this season again, the premier league will start becoming boring just like those few leagues where a particular team will dominate for more than five seasons. The competition this season is really gonna be tough because I don't think Liverpool will give up so quick like they did in previous seasons, perhaps they started pretty well so they will do everything within their capacity to make sure they keep the flag flying.

Also, Man City still have the potentials, and with what have been played, and the bar they've raised, I don't think any team is ready or prepared to challenge them because they'll also be training relentlessly.

No doubt about Manchester City having the potentials to win the league again but things may likely go differently this season, hope we are seeing what is happening to Real Madrid in the La Liga so there can be a sudden change in the premier league where Manchester City might be finding it difficult, maybe as a result of injury just like Real Madrid. The season is still new to think that those teams that mostly dominates the league will keep dominating.

They also have the top goal scorer (Halland with 7 goals in 3 games) in top 5 leagues in Europe. Halland is still young and active, ready to burn it all out to retain the trophy. So think about it , man city might win it again for the 5th season straight.

Erling Halland is a goal scorer and his goal scoring streak this season is applaudable because scoring 7 goals in just three games shows how outstanding the player is and he will still continue to score more goals because he has the spirit of goal scoring in him as he has proven himself in past seasons. I doubt if any player will beat him to win the golden boot this season because he doesn't look like he's gonna stop scoring goals. No body is doubting the possibility of Manchester City to win their first consecutive title but they ain't gonna have a smooth path.

Manchester United has fantastic record against Southampton and just like the red devils, they're not having a good season. They currently occupy the 19 spot on the table, having lost all matches and I'd expect a victory from United at St Mary's stadium. However, the tactics ETH is going to deploy will determine the outcome of the game. If he plays Fernandez as a stricker just as he's been doing in previous games, the team may struggle because of lack of creativity and the match may end in a stalemate. A lot of pressure is on him to turn things around after the two recent defeats, so I think he'll do all he can to give United a win.

In my opinion, there is no amount of pressure that will be on Manchester United coach and he will lose the match against Southampton. To me, losing the match against Southampton could be signing his sack letter. I trust that he understands this very well and he will work his way out to beat Southampton. Manchester United fans and management are even worried with the current position of Manchester United after playing some few matches. If any team wants to make the top four, it starts now and not in the 11th hour.

Honestly, Manchester United performance for the last two seasons has been very poor. Could you imagine that Manchester United wouldn't have been in the Europa League this season let alone to Champions League if not for the FA Cup they won. Judging by their performance this season, they might also not be in the Champions League next season.

[Dailyscript]

Seriously am tired of discussing Manchester United and their level of failure in the premier league. Can we just skip to other teams that are better to watch because nothing will ever change in Manchester United? From the coach to the players and everyone in that club they should be wiped out. It's becoming frustrating why Manchester United fans will never see to stop talking about their club for the past two weeks. Man U against Southampton its not the game we have on GW3 we have other games its better if we talk about them. Am tired of seeing the discussion all about Manchester United.

[Obim34]

it started to become visible that the club's owners were not prepared to manage the club and everything got worse because instead of selling the entire club, they only sold 27.7% to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and in practice the Glazers family is still in charge. Now Manchester United has 2 owners (Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe), has 3 coaches ( Erik ten Hag Manager, René Hake Assistant Manager and Ruud van Nistelrooy Assistant Manager ), the whole club is at a very ridiculous. As long as Manchester United have these owners, they will not succeed. Unfortunately

I never knew much about Manchester United until you said all these about the club, but asking how so we come to conclusion that club owners are currently the issue behind the inability of the club to make progress, what has been their negative influence on the team, is it their choices of coaches after Alex or the class of players they sign, because I'm yet to see something solid to hold unto. If we are talking about management problems then Chelsea owners should be at the top of this clearly, they have made a lot of hard decisions that contributed to where they are now.

The much load to guarantee a successful career is not dependent on the coach or owners of the club but rather the output from each and every player on that team. In my own opinion, the owners are cleared, slightly for the coach but the players are required to carry all burdens.

I think you are sounding like a fan of Manchester United because from your write up one can easily see how you put so much emotion on your speech. Manchester United needs to be fair in their choice of players because that is one of the problems affecting the team.

Manchester United used to be the biggest team in England but now that they are having a difficult time their fans will always talk about them till the team gets better.  Southampton against Manchester United is going to be another big game and United will need to win to avoid seeing themselves occupying the bottom place in the league.
