Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[RockBell]

In times of performance I agree with you because Newcastle United has been very good in performance this season and perhaps they have played 12 matches since September till date and they have won seven of there matches, lose two and draw three of there matches which in performance is an excellent one.

But however Arsenal on the other hand has a very unique pattern of play which have made them to become one of the best club on premier league this season, however they have also played 12 matches from September till now and they have won 8 matches,  lost two and draw two, so considering there winning ratios Arsenal has the upper chances of wining Newcastle United.

Not just this season but for some time now Newcastle has been a top notch and have displayed a very good performance, and I love their strategy it is always very excellent and their team work is also excellent, Newcastle don't have much issue and I think their management also contributes to their performance. And winning 7 out of 12 games is actually an achievement. Am not that certified with Arsenal's performance this season but is still not bad and my favorite not in form this season am really not happy talking of saka compare to last season that boy was on fire. Arsenal and Newcastle its a chance of Arsenal winning or either they draw.

Of course this is a bad blow for Man United, Casemiro's injury means that the list of injured Man United players has increased. Losing Casemiro is certainly detrimental to Man United because he is an important player in Man United's midfield, plus he is currently the top scorer so far with four goals in all competitions.

With so many players injured, Erik Ten Hag has to think smart about how to play players when facing Fulham next week. Because this match really determines the fate of Erik Tag Hag's future at Man United, Fulham is not a strong team. I think Erik tag hag should make the most of his opportunities.

Casemiro has missed matches several times, 3 in a row when he got red cards on two d occasion and Manx United did fine, they did well. If I remember correctly, that was when they were moving up and down between 3rd and 4th place and despite the speculations and oppression, they did fine in the outcome of those matches Casemiro was absent but his effort in their midfield is undeniable.

Fulham should not be a problem for Manchester United and I don't think that guy is getting sacked even if he lose that match. The worst case have not happened yet and I believe he is not going to stay back and watch Manchester United reach that level unless he doesn't want to remain in Manchester United. Fulham so far this season has done well playing against 3 teams that came from Championship to Premier League this season but the rest of the matches are not encouraging and I have assurance that Manchester United will used them uplift their place in the standing.

Every manager has a style and if they go to a new club, they still introduce that style of play in the new team. Pep went to Bayern Munich, despite the critics, he played the style of football he knows best, dominated and succeeded. Same thing with this Arsenal manager, Arteta, despite his early struggles, stuck with his beautiful possesion based football.

Forget about style of play in this situation. Sometimes, even the manager are helpless with the position of the club because you can't do much even with the best squad. That's life and we should understand that Managers are doing great work to display the progress of the team to the owners but it doesn't just work the way they want it to be. There is a loser and a winner and each managers come for the latter when they meet in battle but only one person will make it.

From the news circulating now, it seems that Manchester United management is ready to fire Erik Ten Hag even though he has to pay a large amount of compensation. Even rumors regarding potential successors at Manchester United have also begun to circulate, including:

1. Zinedine Zidane
2. Roberto De Zerbi
3. Xabi Alonso
4. Graham Potter, and
5. Hansi Flick

Zidane, De Zerbi and Xabi are the most ideal candidates IMO considering their recent achievements .

It always surprises me when Zidane's name appears in such rumors. He has already said 100 times that he will not go to the Premier League, and even made up funny excuses like “I don’t know English.” In addition, from his behavior it is clear that he is ready to take on coaching only a top club in which at least titles within the national championship will be guaranteed. He will never go to a crisis club that is very similar not to a top club but to a club at a lower level.

I agree with your opinion on this mate, nevertheless, it is not impossible to find Zidane in the Old Trafford after Eric Ten Hag must have been exited. Sometimes managers make statements to make them more attractive and sought after by such big clubs. Truth is, Manchester united has that reputation and popularity to bring Zidane to the club as their manager. Zidane on the other hand will love to make more names and money from the club if he had the opportunity.

Zidane is a good manager and he is such a manager that Manchester United needs to reform their team for bigger challenges in the future. I don't think the club is in much troubles other than the manager and his management skills so far. Manchester has that squad depth to go into a simple contest but at the same, they lack that strong strategy and emotional support to win matches particularly against similarly big clubs.

If Manchester United can put a good negotiation on the table and approach the manager with it, Zidane will be willing to be a reformer and be a part of the success stories in the subsequent seasons.

Bad news will still surround Manchester United and this time it is Casemiro's turn to suffer another injury after the match against Newcastle a few days ago in the EFL Cup. Casemiro will be out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury and it is certain that he will also be absent from this week's match against Fulham. Not only that, it is possible that he will also be absent from the Champions League match against Copenhagen and this is an important match for Manchester United to strengthen them to qualify.

I think Manchester United's fate is hanging in the balance and without Casemiro in these two matches it is possible that their defense will be fragile again and very vulnerable to conceding goals. A very bad season for Manchester United after losing in a row but still having other problems such as injured players. It looks like Erik ten Hag won't be able to last much longer if he continues to get bad results.

That will be disappointing for Manchester United fans to lose Casemiro in their next matches I believe Manchester United can try their best to win Copenhagen in the Champions League next week because I believe Manchester United are better than them in the Champions League and Manchester United will defeat Copenhagen without Casemiro, The problem is that if Casemiro does not play against Galatasaray and I believe Manchester United will suffer in the match and be defeated because Galatasaray are performing well this season and I am confident they will be ready for Manchester United after they play against Bayern Munich because their most difficult match is Manchester United and that is their hope, if they defeat man-u they will advance to the round of 16 of the Champions Leagues. I'm not sure if Manchester United can beat Fulham this weekend, but they can draw since they're focusing on the Champions League right now because I don't think they'll finish in the top five in the Premier League this season.

The upcoming match is a match that will be very difficult for Chelsea, yes they will face the top of the standings this week, Tottenham. The previous match they had to endure the embarrassment of losing to Brentford at their own headquarters, now they will face a club that has not experienced defeat this season in the English League.
I doubt they will be able to make a surprise in this match, yes that's because of the inconsistency they always show, especially now they are in a state that will reduce their mentality. Most likely defeat will be felt again by Chelsea.

Well, not me wishing them bad luck or being pessimistic on them, but surely, Chelsea will yet experience another defeat, for if a team like Brentford will defeat them, then clearly, they have no chance at all against a club like Tottenham.
I am expecting Tottenham to score up to 5 goals to nothing from Chelsea.

But again, looking on the brighter side, what if Chelsea is able to hold  Tottenham to a draw like they did with Arsenal, will that mean anything for them?

Well, almost every game Chelsea will be playing from now on will be a very tough one for them,  they are now facing the bigger clubs in the EPL, and I doubt they don't end up in the relegation zone by the end.

In my opinion, all the 5 candidates above are very good, Zidane is a strong candidate, Zidane has a lot of potential because to date he has not coached any club, if I see there is any issue that Antonio Conte will replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, Antonio Conte has a good track record in coaching the team and also proving himself as an elite manager among coaches, I think Antonio Conte deserves to coach a team like Manchester United

There are lots of rumors in the mainstream sports media (global and local), the latest of which is about Unai Emery being linked as a candidate for the next manager of Manchester United, but none of it can be confirmed to date. Regarding Zidane, many people would also choose Zidane if faced with the choices I mentioned earlier, but that would also be like gambling for Manchester United. We know that Zidane is a great manager, but we don't know whether he will get positive results or not if he joins the Red Devils considering he has never managed any team in the PL.

Tottenham Hotspur are top of the table and playing at their strongest possible level. Mauricio Pochettino is aggressively preparing to meet Tottenham's new manager, Angelos Postecoglou, this weekend. Chelsea has not lost a game against an elite team this season, instead pushing for high results despite being defeated by regular rivals, which is completely unacceptable. I am convinced that Chelsea will be the first team to hand over Tottenham Hotspur first defeats this season. Arsenal actually escaped with a tie, but Spurs have little chance against the Blues.

Do you believe Tottenham have little chance of beating Chelsea this week? I don't have the same thoughts on that. Indeed, when meeting stronger clubs, Chelsea usually play well and they are quite difficult to beat. But Tottenham must be aware of something like this, and they will not do the same thing as the clubs that met Chelsea before, for example Arsenal. Moreover, this is a match where they must continue their unbeaten trend.
It's a home game for Tottenham, so they'll be even more motivated. I prefer to bet on a Tottenham win, as their chances are wide open.

No mate @Fivestar4everMVP you are very correct and from the look of things,  Chelsea is going to have a long day full of loads of challenges and possible losses or at most draw games,  anyone can easily point that out when it comes to Chelsea in this season or the last 2 seasons back,  the fact is that there is a problem with the club,  and that problem has been left unresolved and it's really affecting the club negatively to the point that there are now finding it difficult to bounce back in the various leagues despite the heavy investment made by the club to sign new players in the last transfer market.

This has made it seem that Chelsea is not finding the light at the end of the tunnel for complete three seasons following each other,  this is not so good for the club and so if anyone makes such a statement about the club,  no one will blame them since it looks as if the be more negatives results coming in from the club.

I believe, on paper Tottenham can certainly win, because Tottenham in this season has become the best team in the Premier League because Tottenham has managed without defeat so far. The situation is a very different situation from the situation Chelsea is experiencing at this moment, and with the bad situation Chelsea is experiencing at this moment it is clear, on paper there is no chance for Chelsea to get points in this match. But yes, we maybe also believe in football anything can happen but even so, it looks like it will still be difficult for Chelsea to make a surprise in this match. Because anyway, with Tottenham so far without a defeat too, that the result is a big surprise this season after Kane departure.

Manchester united will definitely go for the best coaches if Erik Ten Hag elapse his stay in Old Trafford. The board will thoroughly selects a prominent and well experience manager that will lead Manchester United to glory. You mentioned quite potential managers capable of handling Manchester but I'm a little bit concerned about Zinedine Zidane. He's a man of his words and when he says NO, he do actually mean it. Since leaving Real Madrid, he's without a club and have turned down several bids to manage elite clubs for reasons best known to him. But Roberto De Zerbi chances of replacing Erik Ten Hag is under 50/50 probability.

Guys lets talk about the officiating of the English premier league matches so far this season and after Anthony Taylor was demoted to the EFL championship it's time to talk about this pressing matter.

When. The VAR video assistant referee came into use many of us thought this would bring an end to the poor officiating due to incompetence or unfortunate incidence but we have watched matches that even with the video assistant referee the officiating was poor and has cost some teams very important points, I think this season Anthony Taylor has been very poor and wondering why the English premier league officiating bodies took this long to act, one of my favorite referees so far has to be Michael Oliver .

[Mr.right85]

Is anyone puzzled by Arsenal? Did they underestimate Carabao, leading to their defeat against the underdog team, West Ham?

Rather than focusing on Man United, which is really tough to change, do you think Arsenal has a weak backup squad? In the game against West Ham, it seemed like Arteta couldn't rely on his second-string squad to shine. That means if Arsenal's main squad faces an injury crisis, it could spell bad news for the team.

Plus, there are still 28 games left in the league, and even with a good start, it doesn't guarantee a strong finish. I see Arteta should look for another striker and not rely on Nketiah. I'm worried that if Prince Eddie Nketiah gets injured, will Arsenal be handicapped? Well, even though football is played by 11 people, as of now, I think Eddie is the most capable striker.

Normally if you field your B team against an opposition team, one who is fielding their best players, you won't get the same efficiency as your first team.
Arsenal doesn’t have the luxury of fielding the same team over. And at some point they have to prioritize. Games are different. There's no way Arsenal would have played that way with their full team. It's also not realistic to expect the first team to play every match, hence why they had the bench and they were shameful against West ham. I expected Arteta to setup his team based on the opponent.

WestHam isn’t an easy bite. Even if they wanted to use the second team, they could have done so with a view to balancing strength possession in midfield. I knew that they were never going to maintain any sort of control with a midfield of Fabio Viera, Kai Havertz and Jorginho. Westham we’re all over the midfield.
Again, I feel Arteta didn’t prioritize the Carabao cup, he seems to be more focused on the UCL and the EPL title, because he always fields his best players in these competitions.

Chelsea used to win vs Spurs in their latest games but time has changed a bit lately with Spurs rising good and Chelsea drowning. Spurs expected to win this game and I think it is the case. I doubt it will be a hard match unless Spurs were doing bad, they used to do Spurs things from time to time
I don't know if changing coaches only will help fixing Manchester United or Chelsea problems but it will happen eventually with the bad results they have..

Honestly, I don't understand and have difficulty with what Poche is thinking about the structure and strategy he is implementing. Previously, Chelsea won their match over Blackburn. but in fact, even though they play against teams below their caste. The center forward they have, is not playing very well and is not even able to contribute to scoring goals. I wonder if Phoce will still stubbornly play Nicolas Jackson. What is clear is that as a center forward, he was unable to score goals for his squad. even though, Pochettino can rotate his players. It has been proven that when this player does not play, Chelsea can win the match and draw against Arsenal.

So the question is whether Poche will continue to play him as the main starter. if yes, be careful about betting on Chelsea. We are well aware that the Chelsea coach is experiencing problems with injured players. Well, can't he rotate some of his players? So don't be surprised if the results they always get are unstable, soon Poche will be kicked out of Chelsea by Boehly. but, just my assumption. for this match, in this season, we cannot refer to the H2H of the Chelsea team, whatever team the opponent is. However, if we refer to the predicted line-up that Phoche will play in the match against Tottenham. apparently, there will be changes in patterns and rotation. If that's true, I'm pretty sure Chelsea can put up a fight against Spurs in this week's meeting. unfortunately, I can't be sure what Poche will implement. Well, let's just wait, after all, in a few days this match will be held.

Zidane and Hansi Flick, are the only two coach available for them here, Xabi probably going to Real Madrid if Ancelotti leaves Madrid or will just remain in Leverkusen,  De Zerbi doesn't seem like a good replacement because Potter had a good stat before becoming one of the most worst coach in Chelsea history and also he may not be able to control the players from the fact that some of the players are bigger than him. Zidane and Hansi Flick are man United best pick but I think Manchester United fans will prefer Zidane.

  I still don't believe Zidane would accept to take over the managerial role if the sack Erik Ten Hag before the season ends,he'll probably want to takeover in a new season therefore Manchester United would have to settle for an interim manager that would handle the club until the season ends, however if it happens like I said I think Michael Carrick would be a suitable interim manager for the rest of the season, he handled that position and performed very well before they appointed Ragnick.

 Fans would not even consider Graham Potter  maybe Hansi Flick due to his good performance over the years however Xabi Alonso would had make a good coach bit he would only want to coach in clubs he's played before, when he decides to leave  Bayer Leverkusen, however let's keep our fingers cross and see if Erik Ten Hag would make a difference and save his Job.

There are many possible scenarios that could occur, it does not rule out the possibility that Zidane will manage Manchester United in the future. Especially when he heard that he was the strongest candidate for that position.

But Roberto De Zerbi chances of replacing Erik Ten Hag is under 50/50 probability.

I have to agree to this, but as I mentioned before, nothing is impossible, everything has its own scenario and path.

Xabi probably going to Real Madrid if Ancelotti leaves Madrid or will just remain in Leverkusen.

Agree with Xabi Alonsi's condition at Leverkusen, currently he is in good form to manage Leverkusen which makes Leverkusen currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings (2 points above Bayern Munich). So I think he will stay at Leverkusen until this season is finished.

[Salahmu]

Fulham should not be a problem for Manchester United and I don't think that guy is getting sacked even if he lose that match. The worst case have not happened yet and I believe he is not going to stay back and watch Manchester United reach that level unless he doesn't want to remain in Manchester United.

Yeah that's true because Fulham has a very low performance since last season till now, and they have played 9 matches and won only 4, lose three matches and draw two matches, although considering this record they are good but not good enough to beat Manchester United because irrespective of how Manchester United has been on a serious poor performance this season but I don't think Fulham stance on any chance of winning them. However even if they are playing from home, there advantage will not be enough to win the Manchester United.

[xzone]

The upcoming match is a match that will be very difficult for Chelsea, yes they will face the top of the standings this week, Tottenham. The previous match they had to endure the embarrassment of losing to Brentford at their own headquarters, now they will face a club that has not experienced defeat this season in the English League.
I doubt they will be able to make a surprise in this match, yes that's because of the inconsistency they always show, especially now they are in a state that will reduce their mentality. Most likely defeat will be felt again by Chelsea.

I'm very curious about what Chelsea will do this week, they haven't performed very well for a long time, but they have the potential to play well in critical matches. They have been one of the most interesting and unpredictable teams in the league for a while. The match against Tottenham will be the most important for them, if they have the opportunity to get 3 points but still cannot, they will fall further behind in the league this time

[Spaceman1000$]

It's only the manager of the club that is saddled with the responsibility of providing the best tactical approach that'll help the team get good results and that's why he's been held accountable when the team is underperforming.
Erik Ten Hag have been very poor with his tactical approaches since the start of the season and it's has really affected the result of Manchester United this season. The club's performance keeps on getting worse instead of improving and if they continue with their current form, they are likely to finish the season half of the season. Erik Ten Hag must as a matter of urgency try and sort out the current issues that's making them to underperform or should be sacked.

From what I see, Erik Ten Hag seems to have run out of ways and tactics to master the game in the Premier League. So, with its current quality, wanting Man United to be truly productive is very difficult. Nothing was suitable or it was Erik Ten Hag himself who forced players who clearly could not meet his criteria as a coach. In my opinion, this season, if Manchester United manages to improve its poor performance, it still won't be able to secure a Champions League ticket next season. There are still many decent clubs this season such as Newcastle/Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Manchester United's catastrophic dip in form this season has been shocking in the extreme, no doubt about it. From progressing in Ten Hag's first season they have lurched into reverse, almost without warning. For sure, Manchester United's bad form will definitely raise questions about Ten Hag's approach. I remember when they hired Ole; he had a style which was counter attacking football. I think with him they knew they were not going to be playing possesion football but his transitions were so good. They scored loads of goals. Now there’s Ten Hag. Honestly if he can not play his own brand of football then he has failed. He has already signed enough players to play what he wants to play.

Every manager has a style and if they go to a new club, they still introduce that style of play in the new team. Pep went to Bayern Munich, despite the critics, he played the style of football he knows best, dominated and succeeded. Same thing with this Arsenal manager, Arteta, despite his early struggles, stuck with his beautiful possesion based football.

Manchester United low in performance squarely lies on the Ten hag inability to come up with team that can stand the test of time. He has spent good money in buying players of his choice,  at least to help in improving the team quality, but then, it hasn't given the needed results fans are Clamouring for, I heard rumours of the management of the club trying to link up with Zinedine Zidane to take over the affairs of the club, I don't know how true it is.

Of course every coach has his style of play, but so far the style deployed by Ten hag don't seem to stand the test of time. I'm wondering why he was benching Ronaldo when he was with United, he did it as if he had one important back up to introduce, not knowing he seemed not to like Ronaldo, and the best method for him, was to keep one of world best player on the bench.
