Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

The yesterday match between Arsenal and Tottenham was very tough, because even arsenal didn’t expect that kind of performance from Tottenham with the kind of control they did yesterday against Arsenal; To be honest Arsenal where luck yesterday if not the match was not easy for both teams, due the how referee share a cards in that match.

Yeah although that some Arsenal players are gotten injured but with Arsenal performance can still remain standard with the remaining squad they’ve correctly now, as it stands now arsenal are now in second position after won yesterday match: and their next match is against Manchester City which I have hope for them that they find the match very easy to win; so that they can able to claim first position in the table.

I don't think the win was entirely down to luck. Even though Arsenal faced considerable pressure from Tottenham but they indeed have a solid defense. Arteta knows they cannot afford to play an open and offensive game because, without Odegaard and Declan Rice, their rhythm would not have developed optimally. Therefore, they tend to play defensive football and wait for a good opportunity to counter-attack. That patience paid off, when Tottenham was so frustrated in chasing goals, it was Arsenal who broke the deadlock.

Nkuku came to their rescue after they almost lost the game and most likely ended in a draw. The defense of Chelsea has always not been tough enough or have the resistive strength enough to be able to stand against some tough teams but for the game yesterday they made good attempts but nkuku's gaol scoring abilities is getting even better, I could see some improvement especially with his creativity which was shown in that goal he did scored yesterday, generally the Chelsea squad is gradually getting better then they had last season.

Yeah Chelsea still have problems in their defensive line and it’s mostly because of Reece James’s injury, i think with him around he will be able to balance the defense better and also Tosin came in and gave balance to the defense so i think his pairing with Levi Colwill could work out better if they play couple of games together.

Chelsea struggled in the game because they were not clinical and Bournemouth almost took advantage of that but they failed to score a goal despite having lots of chances to score. Chelsea were lucky to win and everything changed when they made couple of changes and the substitute players brought strength to the squad. Nkunku, Sancho, Felix and Tosin deserves a spot in the starting lineup because players like Jackson, Madueke and Fofana are not consistent enough with their performance. I applaud Sancho for turning things around and making good contribution to the team and Nkunku deserves a start ahead of Jackson because he has proven himself countless times that he is a better goal scorer than Jackson.

Therefore, they tend to play defensive football and wait for a good opportunity to counter-attack. That patience paid off, when Tottenham was so frustrated in chasing goals, it was Arsenal who broke the deadlock.

I agree with this that Arsenal's victory against Tottenham was not entirely due to luck. Because Arteta has planned a good strategy for this match. Arteta always knows the limits of the squad strength that can be played for each match that will be played. So he always has different plans which are always adapted to different situations and conditions. The injuries to Odegaard and D. Rice, who had to miss the match due to previously receiving a red card, have made Arteta decide to use a slightly different strategy. But the results turned out to be quite effective and frustrated Tottenham because they had difficulty penetrating Arsenal's defense. And Arsenal patiently waited for opportunities to come and took advantage of them when they came. And yes, that patience has indeed produced good results. Arteta becomes more mature with each season as a professional coach.

Chelsea have everything but not the defense, that department haven't been brilliant and I think they're the 3rd worse in the EPL this season. Enzo haven't tried to amend that spot to be a little bit strong as the attack, I won't say much about the midfield because they're not consistent, like today you see them doing well and the next they're doing the opposite of what they did in the previous game.
To me I think if Chelsea have the kind of defense Arsenal have they're good to go because the attacking line I just as perfect as any coach would want and adding the Arsenal defense it makes the team to be solid and the midfielders can as well improve and do much better week in week out. I'm just saying but what do we have to say about that? Because if you want to say the clubs that have the best defense in the EPL, in the top 5 Arsenal is either 1st or 2nd, what do you make of that?

[Frankolala]

It would have been wonderful if Manchester united can continue with the kind of performance that tgey displayed yesterday at all time whether playing against big clubs or small clubs. Southampton just came back from relegation and I don't expect anything much from them.

Manchester united winning them waa a norm and a bonus point to united. Arsenal needs to step up their midfield and improve their team performance for their next match because it should be an important win for them to stay close to their rivals.

I expected less from Manchester United against Southampton. Had it been they never won that match, I have a strong believe Erik is going to leave Manchester City because so far, Southampton hasn't win a single game since the beginning of this season neither has they draw any match, it's loss on loss even with Nottingham Forest and you expected less from Manchester united, it will be be a thing of shame not to win this match even though it's not a home match.

Also winning this match shouldn't be a signal for Manchester United comeback, there should be some improvement after two or more matches before one can think they are capable of winning future matches so you don't end up and bet on games and lose your money later.

I agree with you that no one should have any confidence in them to the extent of betting on them as winners in any of their matches because they might make you run at loss due to their unpredictable performance. Ten Hag always find his way out from getting fired and I think that's what he knowa how to do best.

Whenever there is a sack pressure on him, he knows how escape it by winning the next match. This was how he also did last season when he won Manchester city in the FA Cup finals which made United not to sack him after the season but gave him another chance. He should do better than this and improve the team performance if he knows how.

when we talk about football, there three things a team or club must possess to be a strong and outstanding team. And they are first the defence. If the defence is weak then there would be a enough goals for them that team but to some extent Chelsea defence is not too bad and I will say the problem is coming from the instructor. Then the goalkeeper, if the goal keeper is not skillful enough at the post, then whenever a ball penetrate the defence then it will be a goal. Chelsea keeper is not bad as well. And finally the striker when the above two are good then the striker must be good to strike at all time. And Chelsea needs a good striker. Chelsea faced defeat because they lack good striker, and management.
Chelsea squad is not too bad but they only need so.e amendment in the team and everything will be alright. Chelsea performance in this season is better than last seasons.

I also can't believe Chelsea. In the last transfer market, they spent around €40.60m to bring in several defenders, both left back and center back. However, they were only used as reserves.

I wonder why they didn't use the funds to buy defenders who are indeed good and strong even though not for several players, but rather chose smaller players in greater numbers. Moreover, they also spent a lot of money to add Goalkeepers, I don't know what's wrong with Chelsea's agents and management.

The victory over Tottenham has a victim because according to the news Bukayo Saka confirmed got the injury and indeed he was replaced at 86 minutes in the second half with Ethan Nwaneri because Bukayo Saka seems unable to continue to play and Arteta was worried about this situation because previously Arsenal have lost Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice

Regarding Bukayo Saka i think why he got the injury because of fatigue because within a week he have to play 3 times because before this match Bukayo Saka playing with England National team at Nation League and some people are assuming Bukayo Saka won't be available when Arsenal playing at Champion league against Atalanta this Thursday

I am hopeful it is just a mild knock and he will be alright before the end of the week when Arsenal face Manchester City on Sunday. Seeing walk off the pitch during the Tottenham vs Arsenal game was not a good sight but it didn’t look too serious and thank God Arteta didn’t risk it any further and brought him off so it doesn’t get any worse that it is which is a very wise decision to make. Hopefully he will be available for the Manchester City clash. Arsenal may have survived Tottenham without their full arsenal on pitch, playing against Manchester City is a different story.

Since 2020 - 2021 season when Saka started as a young player and got a position in Arsenal then England team, he was overused in the last three years. In the last season, he got a first injury and miss a first match after a long streak of playing continuously. I don't remember a number of total matches he played in that streak but it's very long. That injury is a warning that Arsenal and England coaches must use Saka more carefully. They must protect the player from exhaustion and injuries if they actually love this player.

They can not say because of his importance, they have to over use him match by match, month by month and season by season. Arteta actually knows the importance of Saka in Arsenal but by this, he must know an important task to defend this player from injuries as best as possible.

Even if it's Luck, but Luck is also associated with hardwork so I believe that Arsenal's resilience and determination to win Tottenham was what paid off for them so it's not literally about Arsenal being lucky in my own opinion, they played a tight game and a tough opponent even though they seem stronger than Tottenham. Odegaard and Declan Rice deserves kudos for their effort in the game because even though Arsenal scored just one goal but it made them got all 3 points and it is good to see that Arsenal won and close the gap against Manchester City considering the fact that Liverpool who was chasing after Manchester City dropped points against Nottingham Forest. I like Arsenal's defense area and they understand the game play of Tottenham hence the reason Tottenham didn't got the opportunity to score and when Arsenal got theirs they scored. Mikel Arteta also deserves accolades for a nice formation.

Maybe I am the only one that didn’t notice improvement in Manchester United’s performance. I don’t see any improvement in Manchester United performance, they played against a weak team and they took advantage, but I don’t see any improvement in Manchester United performance. Let’s see how they are going to perform in the next two to three matches that they will be playing, but I am sure Manchester United will still disappoint their fans in those matches. If Manchester United couldn’t win their match against Southampton, then Ten Hag should be sacked immediately. I don’t see anything special in what Manchester United played in the match.

Yeah that's a question for us, defense has been a continuing problem for Chelsea even in recent seasons but somehow we don't see any improvement efforts there for example by bringing in great players in the defense line instead they focus more on the midfield and attack lines even though we know all lines are quite important. Indeed, in the last transfer window Chelsea brought in 3 players for the defense line but all of them were young players which means it takes time to get the best defense, maybe they are building for the long term?

For now we can't draw any conclusions because the league has just started but at least we have a comparison with other teams like Brighton and Nottingham who only conceded 2 goals in 4 matches well, with this situation, of course we wonder how Chelsea can compete if their defense is worse than mediocre teams? It is clear that even though Chelsea have great strikers, it doesn't mean anything if their defense is weaker. We're not saying it's too bad but it's not good enough to compete in the Premier League.

[SatoPrincess]

Arsenal every season tries to match Manchester City, and Arteta is indeed ambitious to beat Pep Guardiola before he leaves Manchester City. So when watching the London derby yesterday the motivation to not give Tottenham a chance was very big. When that one goal was scored, all Arsenal players felt that only that point had to be maintained until the end. And for Tottenham, even though they lost they have shown extraordinary competition, never stopping trying their best. Their failure to beat Arsenal does not mean that their players are bad in terms of quality. I admit, even though the result was a draw, it would be very worthy for both teams.

I loved the spirit in which the team played yesterday and only if they played with same attitude and mentality against Brighton when Declan Rice was sent off for the red card, they would have been able to keep all three points at the end of the game but they let Brighton get a goal back to get a draw. This is the kind of attitude that makes teams champions and I am happy Arsenal are beginning to show that attitude and game level this season. Arsenal will face Manchester City this weekend, the student vs the master. I’m anticipating a lot of action in this fixture.

We're not saying it's too bad but it's not good enough to compete in the Premier League.

The way Chelsea recruit players in the transfer market doesn't even look like they are improving their weaknesses last season. Chelsea seems to only focus on getting potential young players who they can use in the long term. And yes they also brought in several young defenders. And the results are not yet visible at all. And maybe they really need time for these young players to reach their maximum level. But if it continues like this, Chelsea will indeed find it difficult to compete in the Premier League, where the level of competition is actually very high. It's just that if we talk long term I think Chelsea have built something good. but for now it seems like they haven't found the best solution to their problems this season. But at least Chelsea looks like they will have pretty good results this season. Even though they are not consistent, I feel this team will continue to grow stronger.

The lost surprising result of the weekend was Liverpool's home defeat to Nottingham Forest - a result that handed the visitors their first win at Anfield in 55 years. We all have seen how impressive the Liverpool manager new manager Arne Slot have been before that game but losing to an average team like Nottingham Forest was the least expected.
Now, I'm asking if the defeat Liverpool suffered from Nuno Espirito Santo's men should be a huge concern for the club's manager Arne Slot.

If Manchester United improves in the midfield and their defense continues to stop its opponents in every game, I believe they will have a successful season. Even though Southampton is an average team, Manchester United performed well against them, scoring three goals. Ten Hags must see that some of their major players are not in top form, and he should not be starting them in some of their games. When he benched Casemiro in the first half against Southampton, their performance was very different, no player made an error, and they all performed well. I hope Ten Hags continue to bench players who are weak in important matches.

On the other hand, Manchester United will play away against Crystal Palace, can Manchester United win their next Premier League game? Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United both at home and away last season, can Manchester United revenge for their defeat this season now that Olise has joined Bayern Munich?

Liverpool's defeat was unexpected, the visitors had to win with a narrow score and this was also another historical victory after 55 years ago for Nottingham Forest.

From this Liverpool defeat, many bettors were disappointed, especially fans at home, this was unexpected, but Arne Slot had to evaluate this defeat because this was not a big team that beat him, but this was still an evaluation material for him.

Yeah obviously this Arne Slot will pay more attention again, I'm not sure Liverpool will be bad after this defeat, maybe you can say it's just unlucky while they have a lot of chances but not a goal.

[Agbamoni]

Arsenal's performance in this match deserves appreciation because in this match Spurs appeared with full strength but could not beat Arsenal who were experiencing serious injuries. Although in this match Tottenham managed to dominate the game but could not score a goal, Tottenham does not have a striker like Kanne, Tottenham usually has a deadly striker who can score 25 goals per season. On the other hand, what made Tottenham unable to score a goal was because Arsenal had a pretty great goalkeeper in this match. Glad to see Raya able to keep a clean sheet on his birthday, a great victory for Arsenal.

And from that match I also saw that the Arsenal squad was still really solid even though Arsenal could not control the ball as much as Tottenham did. However, Arsenal players were still confident enough to be able to win the match by taking advantage of the opportunities available because it would be useless if a team was able to control the ball more but could not score a single goal which ultimately made them lose to the visiting team. Currently there are six Arsenal players who are still injured, but I am still quite sure that Arsenal can still perform well with a squad that is still fit at this time.

The yesterday match between Arsenal and Tottenham was very tough, because even arsenal didn’t expect that kind of performance from Tottenham with the kind of control they did yesterday against Arsenal; To be honest Arsenal where luck yesterday if not the match was not easy for both teams, due the how referee share a cards in that match.

You can't be serious enough to think Arsenal won that game with luck. They played so well to deserve the win, irrespective of the challenges of injured players before them. Tottenham was not that tough to me in the game because if they were they would have scored with the chances they had. If it were Manchester City that had those opportunities, they would make good use of it. Although Tottenham played a good game that day, only Arsenals defended so strongly.

One exciting thing about the current Arsenal squad right now is that even if they have attacking players or midfielders who are injured. Arteta can rely on the defenders to score and maintain the win till the end of the game.

[Oshio-man]

Chelsea have everything but not the defense, that department haven't been brilliant and I think they're the 3rd worse in the EPL this season.
To me I think if Chelsea have the kind of defense Arsenal have they're good to go because the attacking line I just as perfect as any coach would want and adding the Arsenal defense it makes the team to be solid and the midfielders can as well improve and do much better week in week out. I'm just saying but what do we have to say about that? Because if you want to say the clubs that have the best defense in the EPL, in the top 5 Arsenal is either 1st or 2nd, what do you make of that?

Chelsea have everything that made Manchester city to defeated them in their first meeting in this season, and they also draw with other team, I know their players are trying but their coach have to train their defenders, midfielders and strikers well because they are still lacking in some matches, Yes Arsenal defenders is stronger than Chelsea defenders, because they proven it in the home of Tottenham Hotspur despite the injuries some of their players had during their international competition, despite the using Tottenham Hotspur players was using them in the field not to touch ball steady but they use some little opportunity they had to scored winning goal to defeated Tottenham Hotspur 0:1 .
