Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Mame89]

Chelsea had some great months last season but from their player transfer strategies and players they bought recent seasons as their plan for future, they will probably struggle to build up a competitive squad in coming years. Don't have a competitive squad will harmful for their ability to compete for top positions in Premier League.

In early matches of this season, with a new head coach, Chelsea did not have convincing and impressive performances to show that they're actually ready to return to top four at the end of Premier League this season.

It must be admitted that Chelsea in recent years if you look at their transfer strategy, Chelsea really wants to build a great squad, that's why last season they didn't achieve what the coach wanted and were immediately fired. And now with a new coach, Chelsea also seems to want to build a great squad too, even though from four matches they only managed to win two matches, draw one, and lose one. However, we also can't judge the performance of this new coach because the EPL league journey is still very long.

But what I see from Chelsea so far is still not very good even though they are very active in the transfer market. Chelsea must buy senior players or players who are already experienced. If Chelsea wants to be as strong as before and can compete in the EPL, Chelsea must buy senior players with high flying hours, at least 1 to 2 players to balance it. Don't buy young players too often, it could backfire on the team itself like last season.

Because relying on Skill alone does not necessarily bring the team to victory in this modern football era, at least there must be players who are already so experienced in the Chelsea squad. For example, the senior Real Madrid players who are retained, because players are the key to success in the team itself.

On the other hand, Everton secured survival from relegation comfortably last season but they had already lost 4 games played this season and I think Everton are in deep trouble if the manager are still unable to fix their poor defense with a good solution.

I ultimately believe Everon will be fine. However, the manner in which they have lost their opening four games is infuriating. But let's take it positive. They are playing better than last season. They were starting to be productive by scoring goals. I think they can finish mid-table. That's without the points deductions like last season.

And it's also very important to remember they aren’t the first team to start this way. i called them click-bait relegation team.

Yesterday we saw the Newcastle vs Wolves match with the match ending 2-1 and victory in the hands of Newcastle, and I think it was a fairly fair victory because Wolves are a team that is not too favored, especially when compared to Newcastle. Eddie Howe's squad started the season quite well, they managed to win three of four matches without losing. Last season they finished in 7th place in the table but it looks like this season they will look different, most likely Eddie Howe will maintain their position to stay in the top four of the standings by any means to qualify for the UCL next season as they did in the last two seasons.

On the other hand, next we will see the Chelsea vs West Ham match, in this match I think I will favor Chelsea even though they will play away, because from what I see now they seem to have started to rise from the slump, last season Chelsea managed to finish in sixth place while West Ham was far below them, I can't be sure about the final score in this match, but the worst thing is sharing points.

Newcastle this season looks tough even though the strategy used by Eddie Howe's troops prioritizes quick counterattacks into the heart of the opponent's defense, not too concerned with ball possession, but it worked and was supported by the attack line, few opportunities but able to be converted into goals. Moreover, other teams must be wary of Harvey Barnes in several matches he appeared as a supersub and could trouble his opponents, as proven in the match against Wolves, he scored the winning goal. This season The Magpies and The Toon have momentum, Eddie Howe must be able to maintain it.

Regarding the Chelsea vs West Ham match, both have a chance to win because both the Blues and the Hammers started the season inconsistently. The possibility of a draw will occur at the London Olympic Stadium next week.

Since Todd Boehly's era Chelsea has spent quite a lot of money to build a new squad but in the last few seasons the project they built failed. This season The Blues are trying to rebuild a strong foundation with their new manager Enzo Maresca and it seems to be starting to be seen from several matches that have been passed even though it has not been optimal but it seems that Maresca will be able to bring his team to face the top. The competition in the Premier League is indeed very tight but I see Chelsea have the opportunity to make competition in the top six or at least be able to qualify for the European zone.

I agree with you that Chelsea also have to bring some experienced players into their squad if they really want to compete with the top teams, but it seems that I see The Blues are making a long-term plan with some of their young players who are currently decorating The Blues squad.

Arsenal played well especially for defensive problems but indeed the target from the start was only not to lose this match and I think that was proven where Arteta was quite passive by emphasizing defensive strategies in this match rather than their usual offensive schemes.

It was based because they realized there were several players who could not be forced to do so, especially with several injured players and losing Rice due to a red card, of course this made Arteta a little depressed for the players available.

But in the end 3 points they have managed to get regardless of whether it is luck or indeed Arsenal are still very strong I don't think it matters for now because after all the target of 3 points is still obtained for them and it is indeed a good thing that Arsenal have shown this week as well as being an asset for them to do the first week in the Champions League later.

Arsenal players have worked hard and they deserved the three points. The match was very tight so it was difficult for both teams to develop the game. But the high tension of the match was very enjoyable and made the match titled London Derby even more different atmosphere. So I congratulate Arteta because he was really able to mix his squad very well even though some of his mainstay players were still unable to be involved in the match.

But it's not over for them yet. Although for Tottenham this week they made this an advantage with the 3 points they got but they still have to think about the brain where the schedule will be even busier for the following weeks.

Currently they have to prepare by facing the first match in the Champions League where Atalanta will visit the Emirates Stadium and continued with the big match again against Manchester City, which is sure this will be very difficult for Arsenal to conquer.

Facing Atalanta for the first week will indeed benefit them because they play home and see Atalanta's condition, whose fate is actually not too different from them where the internal players who make Atalanta's performance decline will clearly be profitable for Arsenal. It's just that there is still a shortage of players and too much strength in the midst of the hurricane of injuries experienced by Arsenal now of course this will make them have a much greater risk, not to mention Manchester City is ready with full strength in the continued EPL week 5.

Manchester City changed their game even more in the new season and from the beginning they went ahead in the title fight. Arsenal and Liverpool competed in the previous season but were unsuccessful and continue to compete this season. But here Newcastle have really woken up their game this season and they have been playing well since the start so they are currently in a good position in the points table. They have not lost a single match so far but they are doing their best to strengthen their game and I think they will compete with the top teams.

The Manchester City team understands that the new season will be intense and the challenge in the new season will be more they made sure they start very early to change their game play so they will stay ahead of their title challengers Arsenal and Liverpool, the last two seasons it has been Pep Guardiola against Arteta and Klopp and Pep Guardiola managed to win the league the two seasons and coming to this new season where Newcastle is doing well, City wull have keep winning matches if must stay ahead of the other teams. New Castle are yet to play the top teams they will drop points once they face strong opponent in the league.

Last season, Everton actually started the season very well. But Everton's turning point came after they were sanctioned with a points deduction. And somehow since then Everton have started to lose their consistency last season. And now or this season there is something a little different about Everton. because now we see Everton starting the season not so well. But I agree that there is a positive thing shown by Everton this time, namely that they have become more productive in scoring goals. But unfortunately their defense is really bad. Because in the 4 weeks at the start of this season I can't believe Everton have conceded 13 goals. And I think that's a really pretty bad condition. And Sean Dyche must immediately improve Everton's defense line so that it is not too easy for opponents to penetrate.
