Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[bbigtart]

Manchester United lost all ground. Everything has been wasted, time and effort, but I don’t understand why! Rather, it’s all a waste of time and energy for the fans.
As for me, this is the end of the history of a good and successful club..

If you say that about a club called Manchester United, what about the clubs that are in the relegation zone until now, especially in the Premier League? I don't think it's appropriate to say that every club is just wasting time and energy, because as long as every club can still struggle through their matches and the way they play in this ongoing season. So there is nothing wrong with that, even though the results are not as expected by the fans themselves, because giving up to conditions and circumstances is more embarrassing than bad results after struggling.

It's too early to talk about Man United being in the relegation zone, the league is still long and anything can still happen. Indeed, currently Man United is in a downturn, not only in the EPL league, even in the UCl League they are in a slump. After all, every club has been in a down situation like this, it's just that there are clubs that can recover in a short time. This is different from Man United, where the problems they face are very complex, starting with management, managers and fans being in the spotlight. But I'm sure Man United will recover in the near future. They just need time besides that there are still many players who are injured.

I believe all coaches are great and have been proven at previous clubs, it's just that the atmosphere and style of play in each league is different, you need to keep trying and a little luck.

I'm not surprised to watch the Blues defeats Tottenham Hotspur and breaking their unbeaten run in EPL this season. Chelsea are in possession with alot if potentials, one of which is picking incredible form against elite teams this season. Mauricio Pochettino is incharge and have been the core figure responsible to lifts the team's performance and standards in league positions.

Mind you that Chelsea are in tenth position and they have only 15 points from 11 games which is a poor return for a club like Chelsea, they have also won only 4 games in ths EPL this season. Spurs would never have lost that game, but they went two men down and had to play for over 40 minutes with just 9 players, they also had a couple of injuries to important players. I don't think Chelsea are resurgent, neither are they improving, and if their fans think they are flying right now, they'd be brought back to earth when they face City this Sunday.

I don't think Chelsea has recovered from their downturn after winning over Tottenham, the match summary notes that Tottenham had to play with 9 players after two of their players received red cards. Chelsea's first goal came from a foul by Christian Romero which made the match 1-1. Chelsea increasingly had the upper hand after the referee issued a second red card to a Tottenham player, they were able to control the match more easily after Tottenham were two players short.
This victory is at least a motivation for Chelsea players when facing Manchester City, but Chelsea's performance is still unstable, meaning they will experience difficulties when facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea hasn't changed even though they have signed an experienced manager like Pochettino. Their performance has not been consistent at all and it is true that their condition has been in a slump so far. Chelsea has changed coaches over the last two seasons, but this has not been able to make them recover and show good performance.

This week things will be very difficult for Chelsea. Manchester City, who are in their best form, will be very difficult to beat and I really believe Manchester City will maintain their position with a win. Chelsea is playing at home, but their probability of winning is very low which means there is a high possibility that Chelsea can be beaten due to the depth of the squad and their poor performance.

This fixture is going to be an interesting one. Both teams head into the game in contrasting places. Manchester City are top of the Premier League, winning nine of their 11 matches this season. While Chelsea have struggled to find their form and they’re, currently 10th on the EPL table with 15 points from 11 games so far. However, Chelsea will be approaching this particular game with a morale-boosting 4-1 win against Tottenham. Many will be writing off Chelsea as they see Manchester city as the better team but I don’t think Chelsea will have an underdog mentality heading into a tricky fixture. I have noticed something about Chelsea when they face top teams this season. They tend to play better compared to how they fare against mid teams. Despite their ups and downs this season, they somehow managed to played out a draw against Liverpool and Arsenal and beat Tottenham. Now they face Manchester city and somehow I feel they might still be lucky and get a point in this particular game too.
This is football and anything is possible.

Well, it looks like we don't have to have too high hopes for Chelsea's performance in the upcoming match. Moreover, we know who they will face. Well it is Man City who have defended the title in several seasons and were also champions in the Champions League last season. I can't imagine that Man City will lose to Chelsea in the next match. Even though Chelsea will play in front of their own supporters. But this will not be an obstacle for Man City to beat Chelsea. Maybe if Chelsea could just hold Man City to a draw, that would be considered quite a good achievement, I think.

In the match against Tottenham, everything was indeed unbalanced. Because Tottenham only played with 9 players after 2 of their players received red cards. But in the early minutes I also admitted that Chelsea had cornered Tottenham. But I'm not sure their performance has returned to the best performance they had. But let's see how it turns out.

If Tottenham still played with 11 players then of course, Chelsea would not have won like that. After all, in reality Tottenham also managed to score a quick goal in the 6th minute through Kulusevski and then, Tottenham only played with 10 players and scored the equalizer through a penalty kick for Chelsea. Also in fact, in the second half even though Tottenham only played with 10 players, but Chelsea were also unable to score a quick goal. Until finally, in the 55th minute Destiny Udogie received a red card, and Tottenham only played with 9 players. But even though Tottenham played with only 9 players, but in reality Chelsea still needed time to score three goals and yes, Chelsea three goals were just created in the 75th minute. With these factors, I think it is still not enough for Chelsea to be said to have improved their performance. because after all, Chelsea still had to work hard to beat Tottenham, even though Tottenham only played with 9 players.

There's no controversy about it, Man City is the best team presently in the EPL and I don't think any club would be able to surmount them for a while. This is not because they are unbeatable but because they just realized their mistakes and are trying to get better, so any club they meet now either big or small would be devoured, that's the spirit. If you agree with me, they were not as expected in performance when played with Wolves and Arsenals, and each goal scored against them was surely felt more.

But ever since Arsenal's match, they've been better serious with both local and UCL competitions. I can't say much for Chelsea in the EPL as it's clear that they are a mess, though they are improving recently but certainly not a viable competitor of Man City even at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea and Manchester United have had bad luck this season in the Premier League. I don't expect Manchester United to be one of them, but considering how easily they are beaten by other teams then I think I have to admit that they won't be any better than last season.

Ten Hag somehow seems unable to change much to improve the team's performance. He is unable to compete with many other teams, where this season Manchester United has suffered 5 defeats from 11 matches. There is nothing special about them other than Maguire's improved form and the poor performance of many other players, it just hurts them as a whole. About Manchester City, they are the strongest and best team so far. There is no doubt about them based on statistics even though they have also suffered two defeats in 11 matches so far.

Chelsea is always up and down. The identity of the club doesn't even matter when faced with this particular club, and the inconsistent performance from Chelsea has made it extremely difficult to predict the outcome for this club.
I don't wanna try to overhype this club after it was able beating totenham but let's see the fact that if chelsea was also losing previously against a middle tier club like brentford. So, the result against totenham can't really be  argued as a proof if chelsea has been back again to its best performance. Chelsea had the good fortune of not being subjected to serious fouls, thanks to the inability of certain Tottenham players to restrain themselves.
It gives opportunity for chelsea to play even better caused by it was facing a club which is playing with 9 players. Jackson was also lucky enough cuased by he was able making hatrick against 9 players.

They have realised their mistake and try to amend it between them and Sevilla, the game was totally in favor of Arsenal, they played a very beautiful game which i am convinced and have confident in this week game between them and Burnley, since October 3th that Burnley had their win against Luton Town they have been in a loss form despite their losing Arsenal should not underestimate them because this day that lower rank club are always serious when playing with higher rank club, I expect Arsenal should score many goals as possible.

Gunners defeat against Newcastle United was planned, they had players and the strategy but couldn't install this technique against the Magpies who were seriously aggressive throughout the game. Arsenal are enlisted among the competitive teams that will go home with major trophies this season. Gunners have been really fierce in league games and Mikel Arteta having tremendous moment in the club, he deserves all the accolades when his team wins a game because it's really been a long time Arsenal performance was this outstanding.

Overall, Mikel Arteta played quite well, especially in UCL they got a very good position and also had the opportunity to get a victory until the final arrived, the match against Sevilla was very impressed, but indeed the defeat in the domestic league against Newcastle United was quite disappointing In my opinion, even though in his match The Gunners played quite nicely in playing the ball, the difference in one goal in the 64th minute by Gordon became the sole goal for the victory of Newcastle United.
There is a three -point difference to become the top of the standings in my opinion far enough in my opinion, and this will be very heavy considering the competition is quite tight and Manchester City returns to the top of the standings.

Chelsea are on the right track, but to say that they are improving is not right. the result against Tottenham Hotspurs can be deceiving for their players, it could be a good boost for their mental, but also could trigger complacency in the squad. I think poch knows that they than that to win their next games which are getting harder and harder because other teams pay attention towards Chelsea's progression.

Game against Mancity is the biggest test for Poch and Chelsea as a team to know if have they found their character as a team or just still raw. I think the result will show how far they have become.

[marcous]

Arsenal played really bad against Newcastle on the previous game week. It caused them to lose the game as well. They already had some games in which they played really badly even though they won those ones. However I believe we will see some progress this week. They should be able to win against Burnley home comfortably.

I saw them really solid against Sevilla last night by the way. They completely dominated the game in Emirates and won by 2-0 easily. This should be a good sign for their future games in the Premier League as well. The interesting thing is the recent games between Arsenal and Burnley ended up with close scores. Maybe this would be the one things change. 

I don't think the game against Sevilla is an indicator of anything. Sevilla after 11 games has 11 points in La Liga and this is an extremely low figure for any league and especially for La Liga. But I also expect a big victory over Burnley since this team scores the worst in the Premier League and concedes almost 3 goals per game on average. Arsenal must crush it.

Yesterday victory over Sevilla in the UCL group stage match started their positive trend after losing to Newcastle, and I think it will continue when they face Burnley in the EPL. On paper it is clear that Arteta squad is highly superior, especially as they will act as hosts, Burnley needs a miracle to make Arsenal stumble this time. The Gunners ambition is to return to the top of the standings while the opportunity is still open, while the opposite is felt by Kompany squad who are currently struggling to get out of the degradations zone. I agree with you, it is very likely that Burnley will lose by a lot of goals.

Chelsea will suffer if they do not change their game pattern, they should be able to reinforce their styles when it comes to scoring goals. Rating Chelsea performance in previous matches is quite easy but when it comes to elite teams, I believe they do not stand a chance because they're still building, Mauricio Pochettino have a whole lot of work to put in for the team, facing Manchester City on Sunday, that's his main test and not some random average team or winning an elite team that has two red cards. Winning Tottenham Hotspur with two man down doesn't mean they're right back on track, the Blues are yet to prove themselves to the supporters this season.

I think this is not the right moment to talk about the suffering of Chelsea because what are we all here going to say when they beat Manchester City in the next game after they beat Tottenham in the last game? 

I know this is utopian, but maybe not entirely. Manchester City isn't the same team as last season in terms of their strength and if Chelsea has a great day, what if they beat that team and get the next 3 points from the title defender? That could be what all Chelsea supporters have been eagerly waiting for.

It was quite unexpected to see Tottenham playing so well even though one of their key striker Harry Kane left the team and they had only lost 1 game after 11 games played. Wolverhampton Wanderers could be a tough opponent to beat when they are playing at their home stadium and Tottenham are missing quite a number of key players for this upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers due to injuries and red cards. I guess Wolverhampton Wanderers might be able to force a draw upon Tottenham and gain a precious point.

I agree with you the result against Tottenham may be much of a deception than doing them good because considering the circumstances around they game, they wouldn't have won if all those didn't happen, and so they shouldn't expect same to happen with them playing other teams.

Manchester city is really going to be a really tough test for them because Manchester city is in their perfect form and can at this point play against any team as proven in the UCL and premier league aswell, but Chelsea don't seem to be in such form that is well enough to challenge Manchester city, after Manchester city, they will be facing Newcastle so it's going to be more like a series of drill, let's see how well they can survive this.

The truth is that,  even though I have more confidence in Tottenham more than I have in wolve it still remains that I will not risk my bet on any of the two clubs so for that I will go for a Tottenham winning or draw,  reason being that Harry can't have left the club to buyarn Munich which may be lowering the clubs chances of winning the match,  and although,  their opponent may be seen as a more weaker team but checking they performances also in the last few games,  you will discover that the club have been performing up to date and also making efforts to pursuit a more stable outcome within the next few matches.

The match was going so dramatically. It's always like that. It comes as no surprise that the match between Chelsea and Tottenham is always highly anticipated and guarantees an entertaining display of football. I remember that when tuchel was also confronting conte in the field. It will be so dumb if chelsea would not able to win against 9 men.
The chance for totenham to do counter attack is very small. The Tottenham team's tactic involved utilizing Son as the lone striker, while the other players maintained their positions in the midfield. Wrongly attacking chelsea will be in result getting counter attack back from chelsea.
It's a dilemma whether the club needs to attack or defend in this match.

This is why i do like to watch the match between totenham vs chelsea. The game is always very attractive and there were lots of drama on this game.

You are right and I have seen games that could still be won by a team that was one man down, but I can't remember that I saw a team on that level that was two men down and still won the game. And I mean as you said counter attacks were of course impossible for Tottenham and since this is one of their strongest tactics, it was quite over for them when the second player was sent off. The result in the end was quite high for Chelsea and it could have ended with a goal less than that, but still the win was quite safe for them.

Tottenham has been outstanding since the beginning of the season. They have tested the waters and still found their way top of the league in some games now. But when giving some analysis about this Tottenham side, I felt like they’re yet to come across the inevitables like injuries and suspensions. Because your ability to withstand these inevitables in the face of the title charge makes you a serious contender.

Wolves is going to prove very stubborn for this Tottenham side as they’re without some keys players; Maddison, Christian Romero, Van de Ven, Richarlison and Udogie.
The big misses will be James Maddison and Van De Ven. Maddison has been perfect and contributes to Totteham performance since the starting of the season and I don’t know if Brennan Johnson can give them what Maddison has been displaying. But I think the major worries for Tottenham now should be at the back line and not just Maddison. They’re going to miss Van de Ven more than Maddison and the reason I say so is their entire style of play with the high line is reliant on Van de Ven's ridiculous pace.  We will see how they fare with these absentees against Wolves.

They're so damn good that they occupied the top for a while now. It has also lead to their manager winning back to back to back Manager of the month award in the Premier League. ( August, September and October ).
Losing to London rivals Chelsea was sad to see, because prior to the game, they have been the better team to win. Losing Harry Kane hasn't affected them alot because they have played as a team and not put all hopes on a single man for goal.

Wolverampton have been able to take points from good sides in the Premier League, amongst them was Manchester City as they went on to beat them with two goals to one.
Tommorow, without Injured players and suspended players, Wolverampton should grab a point from this game, I don't see Tottenham Hotspur winning the game. There should be a drop in form after that emotional lose to Chelsea on Monday night football.

[Belarge]

Chelsea proceeding to forward position on the EPL table this season. They are my favorite club and I'm solemnly behind every game they've played and the forthcoming games to be play. Mauricio Pochettino is in Stamford Bridge to do his job as headcoach, alot of things will go smoothly for the Blues if they're able to fixed the problems they're facing. The news I'm keen on hearing is finally here. I was passing through my Twitter page and I noticed Roméo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku trending with 17.6k retweet posts, both players are expected to be in training with the full team after the international break, they're making quite speedy recovery, it's definitely good news for Chelsea fans. I can't wait to watch these players in action on the pitch.

[QueenVera]

Completely agree with you bud, like I think I mentioned in my last comment on this thread, I wasn't opportuned to watch the match between Chelsea and Tottenham, and I did was very surprised when I learnt that they (Chelsea) beat Tottenham, I was like, how can this be true? What really happened? I had a lot of questions running through my mind.

Later learnt that Tottenham played with just 9 players as two of their players unfortunately got suspended from the match due to them being awarded a red card, I must say that it was a very unfortunate match for spurs, and Chelsea I believe can not boost of deserving the win they got from that match, it is just luck that decided to smile on them that day, and Chelsea fans who are truly sensible should know this already and not boost.

No doubt, it's ever shocking to learn that Chelsea with their form right now as a team could win Tottenham because twas more like the whole world expected Tottenham too triumph.
Indeed they were lucky because the players' suspension that Tottenham had to go through was enough to destabilize the team completely.

1 card call affect a team greatly not to mention of two card calls in a game, Chelsea played a destabized Tottenham team and only capitalized on the opportunity they had before them and converted their chances, it was just a narrow win for Chelsea, sadly I'd have to say that Chelsea cannot confidently surprise us and win genuinely in a more balanced game.

 Too bad for Tottenham because, they should have been more careful and should have avoided every card call, their carelessness cost them the game, well it's football, we hope that their game this weekend would be better and hopefully Chelsea would play and secure a fair point against Manchester City too.
