Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Newcastle United welcome league leaders Manchester City at the St James stadium on Saturday on what will be the first English Premier League game of the weekend. With 6 games played, Eddie Howe's Newcastle are just three points behind Manchester City who occupies the first position. So my question now is do you think Manchester City will easily get all three points at Newcastle or do you expect the home team to get a good result against the reigning champions?

Unfortunately, I am not given the ability to see the future  
But I'm only interested in one question: are the bookmakers offering good odds? At the moment, the odds for this game are as follows:

5.30 - 4.30 - 1.60

+60% for an away game against a good team? Definitely not.
I think it should be 1.7-1.8 minimum. I don't really want to bet on Newcastle either, but if I'm right, they are seriously undervalued.

This will be a very tough match for both of them, the game seems to have no favorites in my opinion because Newcastle United started this season very well and will wants to do everything in their power to get a point in the game, same as Manchester City that just drop some points against Arsenal last weekend.

Manchester City without Rodri is another team entirely that can be easy to frustrate because any team with strong midfield and attack can brake Manchester City’s defense of Rodri is not there, and I am not also sure Kevin De Bruyne will also be fit for the game. But I know that Pep Guardiola will not wants to lose the match because of Arsenal; he can do everything to win the match or maybe play draw as the case maybe because playing against Newcastle United at home is not easy.
Therefore, I think Manchester City will win this game with a slight goal difference.

Did you say easily? I doubt that it will be easy for Manchester City to get all three points that day. My reason is because almost all the teams in the EPL have increased in their performance and Newcastle is not exempted. Aside from that, we have seen Newcastle to be a challenging opponent to Manchester City in the past season. There was a time when they won Manchester City even when they were still in the best performance.

Even as Manchester City are facing some injury problems currently, some of their players won’t be playing some matches, so there is a slight decline in Manchester City's performance, but even with their current performance, Newcastle shouldn't be so difficult for Manchester City to win. I am expecting three points from Manchester City in the match, even if they won't be able to score so many goals in the match, but Manchester City can't afford to drop from their current first position, and if they can lose against Newcastle, then another club will take the position from them, so Manchester City won’t want to lose to a club like Newcastle.

This is not even much about the club they’ll be facing. Maintaining that first position is a necessity for them, unless they don’t want to come out at the top of the league standings after this round. The points are close though, but when you’re already taking the lead, if you don’t lose or draw match, no one can catch up with you at that time again. Newcastle are not a team to joke with, so I can’t fully vouch for Manchester City to win this game even though they are the better team. Anything can happen in football and the chances of them happening are small but when it does what to happen, you’ll become shocked about it.

It has to be because the efficiency and strength that Manchester has is not at Newcastle.  Yes, if he works hard and wins more matches, he can surely surpass them.  But that's why Manchester performance should be low.  What will Newcastle do if they also pick up the pace and start winning matches?  Undermining Manchester is not a strength in Newcastle, and if they do, they will do it themselves, or Manchester will drag themselves down to a poor performance.  Otherwise, Manchester's position will remain.  It depends on them how they play with efficiency and effort if they play well then they will get points if not then the result will be bad.  But as much as I know Manchester's performance, they won't let such teams get ahead of them.  And he will play the next matches with such speed that he will automatically lose his positions.

Tottenham have just successfully achieved their first win in the Europa League against Qarabag. Tottenham managed to win the match with a score of 3-0. The first goal was scored by Brennan Johnson in the 12th minute, the second goal was scored by Pape Matar Sarr in the 52nd minute and the third goal was scored by Dominic Solanke in the 68th minute.

What makes me want to talk about Tottenham is because they actually played with only 10 players in that match for almost the entire match, to be precise. Because Tottenham lost one player in the first half, even in the first minute, namely in the 7th minute. But it was extraordinary to see that all of that had no effect on Tottenham and instead managed to win with a big score. My biggest appreciation for Tottenham.

West Ham have been very poor since the start of this season and I wonder if this is the same West Ham that David Moyes managed that won the Conference League back in 2023, they play like a division 2 team without coordination currently. Last night they couldn't stop Liverpool from scoring, not until the full time it ended 5-1 with a red card, very poor performance, even in the league games they are still poor. I think the manager of the side (The Hammers) doesn't have what it takes to make these guys be up to speed like to be a little bit hard to break, they lose games home and away and that's not how the Hammers used to be. From how they have been performing I think the manager is going to be the first to lose his job if this awful performance continues.

It's clearly a different West Ham that we have seen last season. They have sacked Moyes and appointed Lopetegui as their new coach. But, things are not going well in his first season.

Westham could not find their rhythm under their new coach. They missed their mentality. They looked very different from last season.

It's also frustrating to see them so poor this season. They've conceded 14 goals in 6 matches. And they get no impact from their new coach. This happens if they choose a manager based on whether they have to pay compensation for them.

Westham's classic story; there is nothing new here.

Nothing positive can come from this manager because he hasn't given any of the teams they lose to a hard time, is just an easy win but you see West Ham playing well as if they can win the game at the end they still lose. I feel for players like Bowen who has been contributing so hard for the team to always get a win and also Kudos, these two guys are my favorite and they have been doing their best but they still end up losing every game. Some other guys from both the defense and midfield they have been trying to make the team come back to winning ways and at this point I don't know if I'll say is the coach or players I'd blame, is just annoying to see a better team as of last season displaying poorly this season.

Guardiola had to use players from the bench because they had a very difficult match with Arsenal just two days ago and the players need to be given a rest, otherwise in such a mode you can get overtired or even injured. The depth of the City bench allows them to have a fairly high-quality team and for these players this will be a chance to show themselves. I think that all the cup matches, especially in the early stages, we will see a similar lineup.

By the way, Maresca also gave the opportunity to some players from the bench to play in the match with Barrow, and it is clear that it was easy for them to play against such an opponent. Chelsea will play Brighton this weekend, it will be a good test for Maresca, because Brighton have not lost yet this season.

Squad rotation is an important strategy when you have 23 players and up to 80 games in all competitions this season to play, it makes sense that some players have to be rested and others given playing time to reduce the situation of players getting fatigued mid way into the season and the number of injury cases, City have a big squad to make this easy. Lately Maresca have been doing same with Chelsea and he gives opportunity to every player to get some playing time and reduce injury cases in the season.

So my question now is do you think Manchester City will easily get all three points at Newcastle or do you expect the home team to get a good result against the reigning champions?

Newcastle united, this is a team that made so much impact in the premier league last season coming from nowhere to fighting for the top four although they couldn't maintain that brilliance for long till the end of the season which they had to drop points finishing in the 7th position. The two meetings in the premier league between this two club last season the results were in favour of Manchester City except for when they met in the EFL where Newcastle won that match with one goal.

After all is said and done and not minding if City is playing away in this game everything seems to be in favour of City than Newcastle. It's definitely going to be a win for City though not an easy one but they won't fail going back home with the three points especially as they had to draw with arsenal during the weekend, any point drop will be detriment to their course this season in as much as arsenal is yet to drop any.

In the EFL Cup Round 3 single league match Liverpool vs West Ham here Liverpool team won by a huge margin. Lately we can see Liverpool team authority attacking the team strong and playing great their game performance has changed a lot compared to before. However, West Ham's game has not changed much at present rather they have not been able to improve their game performance due to which the opposition teams are not successful in attacking. West Ham didn't have much excitement when they took the field against Liverpool, scoring just one of their 5 goals. But the Liverpool team attacked with excitement from the start and they put in a strong performance, I think if they can continue like this then Liverpool will definitely be in a good position for the next round.

West Ham are not performing as expected this season. Last season they performed even better than they have started this season. Against Liverpool they didn’t pose much of a threat at all. Liverpool were dominant in the game and were too comfortable playing at home, scoring five goals just shows how weak Westham’s defense is this season, let’s not forget that this defense conceded three goals to Manchester United a week ago.

Liverpool had a good performance against West Ham and they won the game with a 5-1 result while they lost their legendary coach Klopp, but still, Liverpool's performance was amazing with their new coach Slot so far during the game we saw from them in this season.
They won this match against West Ham and Julen Lopetegui the coach of West Ham got injured during this match :O While the result was 3-1 his team lost the chance to he had a reaction that made him to use a walking stick after that.

Ten Hag has been given enough time, and if there is no improvement in the club’s performance, then he should just leave, but Manchester United will have a problem getting a quality coach, because I don’t even know the coach that they can get that will be able to improve the club's performance.

If Ten Hag is sacked mid-season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer " says yes every day of the week". For now, I will conclude that Manchester United cannot be trusted completely. Sometimes they struggle to score goals, and sometimes they are very easy to concede. In the future, if they continue to experience inconsistency, fans will ask the club's top brass to re-evaluate Ten Hag, as happened last season.

Ten Hag does not seem to be able to improve on his character and relationship with the players. He's still disallowing himself to be free enough to accommodate and lead the players to their best performance making it difficult for the club to be consistent enough.

As a manager, you must have the ability to boost the morale of the players at all time to give them the ability and strength to work out their skills on their games. This is the major issue I've seen from Ten Hag. He needs continue to work on his own temperament to achieve more success. It takes humility and self-discipline to become a successful manager.

The approach and strategy implemented by Ten Hag does not seem to suit most of his players, so that the players have difficulty bringing out their best potential. We can also see that Ten Hag rotations sometimes make no sense, such as benching Rashford in the match against Crystal Palace. Such decisions can clearly put him in the spotlight and raise questions, it seems that Ten Hag is the type of manager who likes to be criticized by players and fans.

Tough opponents for Newcastle United this weekend though Manchester City will be without two of their most trusted and reliable players in the team. Newcastle can only get a positive result from this game if they can identify City’s weaknesses and capitalize on them otherwise it will just be another lost points for Newcastle in the weekend. A win or draw for Newcastle United is favourable for me.

Indeed, Man United's consistency is really bad, it is very very difficult to predict when Man United can really live up to our expectations. At certain times, sometimes they are quite overpowered against small teams, but on the side, their mentality is very bad and they can't even win against small teams.

imagine in the UEFA Europa League alone when they played against Twente, they couldn't even win. even though they were ahead first.

There's no way this is the reason, right? No way, because this is too painful a reason to hurt his boyhood club.

The exit of their legendary coach klopp wasn't expected to be the end of their good performance and so far they have proven they can still do better of which they are and have been doing so far so I think slot has been doing a very great job and has so far not made thw team performed any less than expected of them , I believe id they don't get to win the champions or premier League, a decent finish for them is very much assured by the end of the season in the premier League.

Haaland definitely started the season a lot better than I expected, he didn't finish last season very well, between injuries and lack of KDB for half of the season, he had a bad season, but now he is looking much better. I think he might have his best career season ever, finishing these 70 or so games City will have, with maybe near 80-90 goals, which would be a first and not really that impossible. Can he score 40 in the league? He totally can, he has that talent, and rest is easier because it's UCL with 8 games and then out of group stages so he will have some games there, maybe as much as as finals, and then fa cup and the nefl cup, all of these could give him some good goal scoring chances. I am not saying he will score that much, but at least a 50-60 goal season is in play.

Congratulations to Erling Haaland for reaching 100 goals in 105 matches for City. Haaland has put himself in the EPL history books as one of the top goal scorers in premier league history. He’s such a great addition to the team, a goal machine. I don’t think we have seen the best of Haaland, he’s still improving on his game and like Pep said, Haaland is training harder and performing better than he was last season. I think Haaland still has a lot to learn from Pep and in a few years he may just break all the records in the EPL.

There is bad news for Arsenal and their fans. Martin Ødegaard the captain and the player of Arsenal got injured in the game between Austria and Norway.
This made Arsenal worried because Ødegaard is one of the most effective players of this team and after getting injured, he said he felt too much pain in his feet which means Ødegaard is not going to come back and help his team soon.
Ødegaard said he had an ankle ligament injury before and it is not the first time it and it can make things worse, also he said this time he feels much more pain than the last time nad he doesn't know when he can get back to the good form to paly for Arsenal again and this can be bad new for his coach Arteta.

Manchester United Vs Tottenham
After watching non exciting Manchester United meeting in the Europa League this night, the next thing that came to my thoughts was how Manchester United is going to fare against Tottenham on Sunday.

Honestly, there's no high hopes for Manchester United. They are down and definitely going down of downs. Manchester United under Erik Ten Hang has no chances to compete this season. It is a pity that Erik Ten Hang is not sacked till now.

Tottenham football team is good team. The players of the team looking very confident in the ground because they prepare well and I think they will win next match easily . In the last match Tottenham played well and they got more confidence from that and on the other side Man United team could not win last match and their last match was draw. Man United players have to learn from their mistakes because they are doing mistakes again and again and they are not learning from that and if they didn't do that , they will be unsuccessful to win this match. Win is important in this league and they have to do well and they have to do unique things to win the match.

Pep Guardiola is handling managerial duties as a top coach in Etihad stadium, he's responsible for the upbringing and limelight of Manchester City. The odds are important to take good advantage of, I'm always sticking to the winning team and that's goes directly to the Citizens. They've everything it takes to record a thrilling victory against the Magpies. Manchester City have been competitive, they know the system and will always bend on accomplishing their goals this season. Eddie Howe will shake hands with Pep Guardiola at the St James Park this weekend. We expects more thrilling results from both parties but the best is yet to come. On the other hand, Newcastle United are competitive and this is entirely new season. We hope for close competitive race between these clubs.

Manchester United fans who wants Ole Gunner Solskjaer back can go back into a toxic relationship, can welcome back a cheating girlfriend and maybe a pregnant mother who had sex with another man! Jesus Christ! Ole Gunner Solskjaer is a good guy, great legend but a tactically inept and subpar manager and you want him back?  Go back and watch the European Europa League Finals Manchester United played against Villarreal and you'll see reasons why he shouldn't return as Manchester United coach. I'd even settle for Ruud Van Nistelrooy if they happen to part ways with Erik ten Hag. I ain't see a better manager than EtH to land the job.
