Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Uruhara]

I'm proud of my team, Chelsea. It's not an easy job to be the first team to break the streak unbeaten record of Tottenham Hotspur this season. We deserved our flowers and there's absolutely nothing wrong in the game. I will not channel any blames towards to the referee, Michael Oliver who execute his job. The two red cards issued out on the Lilywhites was really deserved red card, first it was Romero in the 33th minutes of the game, the second half was a dangerous tackle from Destiny Udoghie who was aware he was on a yellow card and still went ahead to triggered such foul. To cut the long story short, Nicolas Jackson scored his first hat-trick in blue's jersey.

This is a bad match for Tottenham and Chelsea can take advantage of it quite well. This victory should make Chelsea better in the next match and I hope they can be consistent and quickly recover from their downturn.

And beating Tottenham, who is very strong at the moment, is even Tottenham's first defeat in the Premier League this season by Chelsea. What's even more surprising is that it happened at Tottenham's home ground.
Apart from the 2 red cards received by Tottenham, this is football.
Chelsea really played well in this match, I was really happy to see it.

Finally, this week 2 teams that were unbeaten lost in the same week, Arsenal and Tottenham and Man City regained momentum and are now at the top of the standings.

Tottenham's first defeat has now allowed Man City to return to first place in the standings. But even so, currently the difference in points between Tottenham and Man City is not too much, namely only 1 point. I personally am actually quite annoyed with Tottenham's defeat in this match. Yes, because I bet on Tottenham in that match. Because they should be able to be superior and win the match if the players can play more cleanly. But I also have to admit that Chelsea is getting better. In fact, Chelsea's attacks have become sharper now. The confidence of the Chelsea players will also definitely get stronger after this match. And Pochettino can definitely breathe a sigh of relief after successfully bringing Chelsea to beat Tottenham, who were unbeaten previously this season. I congratulate Chelsea for beating one of the favorite teams this season. I'm surprised that H.Son and his friends seem to have difficulty in this match.

[asriloni]

Now Tottenham have also lost another player due to a red card. Tottenham only has 9 players compared to Chelsea's 11 players, of course this will be very profitable for Chelsea and it will be very bad if they fail to win the match. Tottenham certainly doesn't want to lose, but Chelsea must be able to ensure victory. However, the score was still tied at 1-1 even though Chelsea had a big chance of winning.

Unfortunately, I expected Spurs to win, but this match was unexpected because 2 players had to leave, Spurs faced with 9 players it was very difficult while Chelsea would definitely continue to attack them.

It's strange to see Chelsea have so many chances after Spurs with only 9 players but the final finish is not so good always fails, Spurs goalkeeper Vicario performed well he always brushed off the ball kick from Chelsea.
It would be a shame if Chelsea couldn't win.

With the several goals that Chelsea was able to score that was disallowed I just knew Chelsea would win the game,  the game was much Interesting.  I think I can now say Chelsea is back and from their performance this season it can be possible. Chelsea performance against arsenal in their previous game was not bad even of it was a draw and their game against Tottenham was very outstanding and interesting,  it is possible when they meet other big teams they will be able to play better than how they used to perform in the previous season. Chelsea performance against spurs was unexpected and very impressive.

Two goals being disalloweed by the referee and that's quite frustrating for chelsea at this moment. The game between chelsea and totenham has been always so attractive since a long time ago. There would always have drama in any games between chelsea vs totenham.
That's the main reason why many people called this game was one of most interesting game to be watched. The chelsea players were always able controling their emotion which is very helpful to give totenham two red cards.
The good thing if chelsea was not wasting such opportunity. Jackson was able scoring two 3 goals while palmer 1 goal. Selling mount for palmer is a good decision for chelsea.

Manchester united got garbage midfielder while chelsea gets a good talent from manchester city. It seems like that totenham's way to win EPL becomes even harder than before.
The first lose of totenham will be surely making the performance from the club drop in upcoming match.

[Plaguedeath]

Actually, when Tottenham took the lead 1-0, I thought it was a bad ending for Chelsea, but with two red cards, the game suddenly changed its balance. From then on, Chelsea began to blockade the Tottenham goal. Although Tottenham held out pitifully for a long time, the deadlock was broken in the 75th minute, Chelsea took the lead 2-1 and two more goals were scored in extra time. Chelsea won 4-1. We know how one red card spoils the game, and this is the case when there are 2 of them. It was a sad result for Tottenham.

Chelsea is really lucky that two Tottenham players get red card, it's really make sense Chelsea win in this match. Playing with 11 players while their opponent only have 9 players, it's similar like we (as a gambler) who gamble on a casino where we have less chance to win lol.

With the big margins win by Chelsea, I'm not yet saying Chelsea is evolving.

See you on the next week, Manchester City will beat you.

With Spurs, things were not as easy as they seem... Yes, Chelsea could beat them, but for some reason the bookmakers were giving high odds on Spurs winning... That is, somehow the bookmakers assumed that Chelsea could win, when few people could imagine that it would happen...

[RockBell]

Tottenhan finally tasted their first defeat this season at their home ground and playing with 9 players makes Tottenham difficult to managed their defense and since 55 minutes Tottenham playing with under pressure which make they have to conceded 3 goals within 20 minutes and before this match begin i was expect Tottenham can able to managed their consistency and overtake Manchester City for the first place but unfortunately Tottenham was failed to do so and for Chelsea this result makes their position jumped to 10th place and congratulation to Jackson because he can made his first hattrick with Chelsea yesterday

And with this defeat is gradually given Manchester City more grounds and more opportunity to win the trophy, and Tottenham never expected a defeat from Chelsea and when the game stated they were putting more pressure on Chelsea until Chelsea was awarded with a penalty  and Tottenham had a record of their first red card that is were the problem of Tottenham started and the table turned against them. And that is when Chelsea increased the pressure on Tottenham and that is when the goals keep coming in, and Tottenham flipping Manchester City is possible but I still have a very strong believe that the city will win. I was impressed with Jackson's performance yesterday scoring an hat trick wonderful performance from him.

Actually Tottenham is not just playing defensive they also tried to counterattack and managed to score another goal but unfortunately the goal was annulled because of offside, we must appreciate Tottenham efforts in this match they never gave up but the effort did not bring change because 9 players were unable to keep up with 11 players. Manchester City must be happy with this result so they are safe in the standings for several weeks while Tottenham has to prepare for other big matches ahead and potentially the 2nd defeat.

If we pay attention to the results of the match in the Premier League this week especially for positions 2 to 5 at least 3 teams lost and 1 draw is this just a coincidence? and vice versa the middle -board team almost all get 3 points except Brighton, well brighton is also in the spotlight of their declining performance imagine in the last 5 games never won whereas before we know that they were one of the strong teams at the start of the season somehow lately they have difficulty winning the match.

At first their defence was tight and when they started losing players it became more open for Chelsea attack to penetrate, because Tottenham at the same time was focusing to much on scoring a goal and to equalize and see if they can win after they equalize. They would have tried to manage their self after the first red card instead of playing carelessly and putting the team in a more difficult situation, their is no way that Tottenham would have won with just nine players on the pitch. They gave Chelsea an open chance to win. Manchester city will definitely be happy since Tottenham as become a club to worry about, and even from the beginning Premier League is very competitive and tough so you just have to be very careful, I don't like VAR have been doing recently  and if not for offside Tottenham would have conceded more goals yesterday.

[Phoenix Anka]

Finally unbeaten matches from Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League stopping by Chelsea last night after winning over 1-4 although have many controversial moment exactly Tottenham Hotspur players got two red card. Chelsea fans celebrating their winning trend exactly London derby and won over the top standings position is most great achievement.

Spurs have dropped to 2nd standings position awhile after Manchester City winning last match and have one points behind Spur, now all Premier League teams have got loss not only with Tottenham Hotspur first loss but also last match Arsenal got loss from Newcastle United. Looks excited with Tottenham Hotspur unbeaten record until 10 matches and Chelsea most unbelievable teams success stop Spur unbeaten record in domestic league.

A wonderful match is behind us. I have never watched such an enjoyable match in the Premier League this year. Tottenham held out very well with 9 men, but it did not work, the offside tactic did not work in the last minutes and they conceded 2 more goals. So I can't blame them because they did their best.

[Blitzboy]

                            Tottenham Hotspur Vs Chelsea

With the red card♦️ Tottenham Hotspur has gotten this first half, it will definitely affect their aggressive style they've been playing. Chelsea have understood the game pattern now, and will definitely use the one man down advantage, because Tottenham will be forced to retreat to their defence. Merely looking at the game now, you will see that Jackson and sterling are really creating  threat at the Tottenham defence.

Chelsea actually reacted very well after Tottenham got their first goal from the deflected shot on goal. Many Goals from both teams were ruled out else the goals would have been more than just one goal from both teams. Chelsea have the advantage of the extra man, they have all it takes to hand Tottenham their first loss of the season at their home ground, hopefully they know how to take it. Madison is injured, so Tottenham's creativity will be affected.

I expect a change in strategy for Chelsea in the second half, they have to make sure that they can maintain pressure on Tottenham Hotspur until they allow a goal.

As I watch Chelsea play after the break, I cant stop biting my nails. Yes, they did a good job at first, but football is tough. It a great chance to be ahead two players, and Chelsea cant lose it. But Im worried because teams have failed to take advantage of similar benefits in the past. Im really scared that Chelsea will let this slip through their fingers as a fan. For the second half, the plan needs to be pin-point precise. Tottenham needs to be suffocated, pushed until the cracks become chasms and a goal gets through. It would be a huge mistake for them not to take advantage of this important moment if they dont.

[bayu7adi]

I got really confused by Chelsea's performance last night. When they played against strong teams, Chelsea did exceptionally well... however, when facing the underdog teams, their performance was quite poor. I remember when Chelsea used to be a big threat to Arsenal, and that seemed to repeat against Tottenham. I must admit that I made a wrong prediction for this match because I had bet on spurs.

For anyone who watched the game last night, it was incredibly intense, and I can even say the drama was very exciting. Two red cards and Son's disallowed goal sparked heated discussions. The Spurs' recklessness was evident as they had only 9 players attacking, with all of their players except the goalkeeper in Chelsea's half of the field. yep...the last two goals were a result of spurs' panic and chelsea's ability to capitalize on their opportunities.

Chelsea played really well last night, and I have to give credit where it's due.

The first lose of totenham will be surely making the performance from the club drop in upcoming match.

They're going to learn a valuable lesson from this loss, and I don't think the Spurs will have a major drop in their performance for the next match. They're a top team.

From then on, Chelsea began to blockade the Tottenham goal.

With the big margins win by Chelsea, I'm not yet saying Chelsea is evolving.

It's more like Tottenham were lucky Romero wasn't suspended even earlier when he crashed into Thiago Silva, but the refs didn't notice and could have suspended him even then. In general, Romero is a very rude player, for him it's the 4th card in a couple of years, which is a lot.
The match was spectacular and those who watched it I believe were delighted, because only in the first half scored 6 goals of which 4 were canceled. Good now the referees have VAR and to determine offside is much easier, without VAR goal Son Heung-min would have been counted, because offside there were a couple of centimeters only.

The match was important for Chelsea not only because of the victory and valuable 3 points, but also because they know that they can beat strong teams, not only outsiders. very important match for Chelsea from any point of view. 

[MArsland]

And with this defeat is gradually given Manchester City more grounds and more opportunity to win the trophy, and Tottenham never expected a defeat from Chelsea and when the game stated they were putting more pressure on Chelsea until Chelsea was awarded with a penalty  and Tottenham had a record of their first red card that is were the problem of Tottenham started and the table turned against them. And that is when Chelsea increased the pressure on Tottenham and that is when the goals keep coming in, and Tottenham flipping Manchester City is possible but I still have a very strong believe that the city will win. I was impressed with Jackson's performance yesterday scoring an hat trick wonderful performance from him.

In my opinion, Chelsea victory was very natural when Tottenham players had to play with 9 players. So we will be very disappointed if Chelsea don't win. You could say this was luck that fell right in front of Chelsea who was in need of a win. Apart from that, Jackson deserved to score 3 goals because in that match he showed his quality in exploiting the opponent's weaknesses. Spurs this time were quite careless and indeed after several matches they continued to be optimistic, they raised their heads a little. This defeat is also a strong reason for Man City to continue to be the strongest candidate to win another trophy.

If they can cross over Manchester City then I will say they are evolving but now I can say that because 11 players against 9 players, after the red card so many people thought that the match will be in Chelsea favor.

Finally Chelsea had break the Tottenham Hotspur record of unbeaten and was so disgraceful with 1-4 at Tottenham Hotspur home, chances of Tottenham Hotspur to win Premier league is going to be hard and this is the 11th game an so many club that were asleep are now waking up because this week impossible things happened this week game.

Finally no more unbeaten in the Premier league this season again, Chelsea had ended the last team standing, and they have not reach the middle of the race and things are falling apart, I believe the remaining match will be very tough and interesting to watch

Chelsea performance against spurs was unexpected and very impressive.

Chelsea is a big Premier League team, even though their performance is very bad this season, but if they faced another top Premier League team, the tension of the game would be different, but the surprising victory achieved by Chelsea is not a sign or proof that Chelsea will be able to recover.

It's not big anymore till todd was coming then destroy the club with his selfishness. Being clueless about football then try to sack everything. Todd is such a disgrace as a football club owned. I hope he will be different after chelsea has passed last seasonw ith very bad result.
Chelsea is not yet stable. This time chels win against totenham but you will see the different result to be be shown by chelsea once it will face manchester city or defensive team.

The victory that Chelsea achieved was inseparable from Tottenham's poor performance, the 2 red cards received by the Tottenham team were clearly very profitable for Chelsea, but regardless of anything, this victory was very important for Chelsea to increase their confidence in facing the next match.

2 red cards were obviously ruining the gameplay of totenham. The absence of a single player has had a significant impact on the club, while the presence of two other players is only exacerbating the situation.
The only good thing if tetenham was not conceding more than 6 goals against chelsea due to the playing with only 9 players.

This is the fact. At least chelsea gave a benefit for manchester city which will become the next opponent for chelsea.

I think Chelsea are not developed enough, but in football, a red card can sometimes change the game completely. That's exactly what happened here. Tottenham held on very well after losing 2 players, but they conceded goals when they no longer had the stamina to endure. It was a magnificent match, befitting the Premier League quality. I also think Manchester City will win unless something bad happens.

It's clear that this win is not proof that Chelsea have improved. Because the victory that Chelsea achieved in this match was not because they had completely improved. But it is because Tottenham clearly lacked strength in this match because they lost 2 players due to red cards. But apart from this, Chelsea were actually able to build a better attack which forced Tottenham's defenders to make fouls. But I am also quite sure that in the match against Manchester City, Chelsea will definitely still have difficulties. But if it turns out that Chelsea makes a miracle again in the match against Manchester City then it will really be a miracle that will surprise everyone. Chelsea was lucky to play against Tottenham. But I doubt their luck will last until the match against Manchester City.

[Majestic-milf]

 Postecoglou has tasted his first defeat of the season and honestly the game was doomed from the moment Romero got the red card. I just feel that he needs to work on his attitude because he would have been sent off earlier after kicking Colwill but the ref just let it slide. The game turned sour after the earlier confident Tottenham lost James Madison to an injury and had their goal disallowed. I just feel that there would have been more goals in the game if Chelsea's squad didn't rely on just one pattern of scoring.
The annoying thing about them was that they kept repeatong the same mistakes even when they knew Sterling was always entering an offside position.
 Mauricio Pochettino will have to work on the players and boost their confidence to shoot from outside of the eighteen yard box because I feel more goals would have been produced from that way.
I won't say I didn't see their loss coming because I had predicted the game and since they were the only ones running an unbeaten record, I knew last night would have been the night.

If Chelsea makes a surprise against Manchester City, then I will be surprised because Tottenham got the second goal they needed to win very late, even though they were down to 9 men. Tottenham even had a goal, but it was canceled due to offside. So they still have problems defensively. If the defense makes such a mistake against Manchester City, the score could be very different, I'm sure.

[Davian144]

A wonderful match is behind us. I have never watched such an enjoyable match in the Premier League this year. Tottenham held out very well with 9 men, but it did not work, the offside tactic did not work in the last minutes and they conceded 2 more goals. So I can't blame them because they did their best.

Even though Tottenham also deserves to be appreciated because they were able to survive with 9 players, Chelsea was also happy because they were able to win at Tottenham's home ground. Because all this time Chelsea has been struggling to continue to win so that they can be seen in a better position and this can also be an encouragement for Chelsea for the follow-up match with Manchester City at home. Although I don't think that Chelsea will be able to win again in the follow-up match this weekend.

It is very difficult when a team loses two players. However, on the other hand, because of Tottenham's poor performance, Chelsea can take advantage of it quite well, so whatever happens, Chelsea's victory is worth appreciating and they were truly outstanding in this match.
No one expected that a team that was in decline like Chelsea would be able to beat a Tottenham team that was very superior this season, but that's how football is, there are lots of surprises.

Because the defeat of Tottenham and Arsenal this week means Manchester City has risen to the top of the standings again, this will be a fierce competition at the top because several teams are only 1 or 2 points behind, this makes the competition even more interesting and the Premier League teams have started shows its original quality, some are consistent, some fail to maintain its consistency.

[Franctoshi]

With the big margins win by Chelsea, I'm not yet saying Chelsea is evolving.

See you next week, Manchester City will beat you.

No doubt that Chelsea is not really in their best form, Although Manchester City is a stronger team here than Chelsea in terms of strength, current form, their last 6 H2H meetings with Chelsea, the manager, and when you compare the quality of individual players present in both clubs, City is ahead. However, there is no certainty regarding what would be the outcome of any match when it comes to a game of football just as we saw what happened in last night's game between Tottenham and Chelsea,  anything can happen.

[Ahli38]

Tottenham even had a goal, but it was canceled due to offside. So they still have problems defensively. If the defense makes such a mistake against Manchester City, the score could be very different, I'm sure.

Well, it's true that Chelsea clearly has a pretty bad defense. In fact, there was strong evidence of this from the start of the match when Tottenham was able to score a goal in the 6th minute. And Tottenham's second goal attempt which was declared Offside was proof that Chelsea's defense still had many gaps. And as you said, if Chelsea don't improve their defense then Chelsea's defense will definitely have difficulty withstanding attacks from Haaland cs. But it would be boring if Manchester City won easily. I probably won't bet on the upcoming Chelsea game next week. And I hope there will be another surprise in this match.
 Because I'm quite bored of seeing Chelsea always lose to Manchester City in their last 6 meetings. There hasn't even been a draw in the last 6 Chelsea vs Manchester City meetings. Because all 6 matches were won by Manchester City.
