Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Issa56]

Permits me to say this, Chelsea vs Manchester City is the best game I've watched so far this season, they kept the fans on suspense, none of us knows the actions that would happen next, both first and second half was tied to draw. I'm now confident of the Blues, they're capable of hitting to new heights if they maintain consistency in league games.

The match was just so interesting, I didn’t expect a good performance from Chelsea in the match. Seriously, everyone has been saying that’s one of the best games of the season. No one expected the match to be so interesting. People were expecting the match to be an easy win for Manchester City since we all know that Manchester City is really in form recently and Chelsea can’t compete with them, but everyone was just surprised with the performance that Chelsea put up in the match. The match ended in a draw, but everyone was satisfied with the way Chelsea played in the match.
 
Seriously, Chelsea have been playing well lately. I am just surprised that no strong team has been able to win Chelsea since the beginning of the season. They always play draws. I am beginning to have confidence in Chelsea. I just hope they will be able to continue with their current good performance, and if they can do that, they should be able to win their next few matches.

Do not put blame on Diaz he was trying his best to clear the ball with that glide on the ball which he did the contact was only too obvious to be avoided by Anthony Taylor. Anthony Taylor did well during that game even if chelsea fans are not in support of most decisions he made yesterday. Chelsea coach was approaching him for killing the game when chelsea had a counter attack going to cities goal post.
The goal from Jackson and the penalty all came through the midfield they failed to hold City who attacked dangerous city well.  James also held  Dolu down in his hands.

Stamford Bridge was filled with chants of victory and there was presence of confident fans. That's exactly how game are ought to be played, I couldn't figure out any specific action other than applaude the best team on the pitch. Chelsea vs Manchester City game was intriguing, watched top performance from these players and both team was unable to make any difference, tie down till the end of the game. Anthony Taylor did his best to maintain the momentum of the game from first half till end of the game. Though he missed out on some important action on the pitch but at least he's currently improving weigh more than last season.

Of course this is not about the fault of one or two players, but all players must be responsible. Ruben Diaz did a good job of preventing goals, but he failed to make a clean tackle in Chelsea's favor. It was a crucial decision for Diaz, but he must have felt guilty about his failure to make a clean sweep in the penalty area.

Broja was the differentiator in that match, but Chelsea really had great form. I was impressed with what they showed and hope it is a good start to getting the same form in their next matches. Pochettino definitely deserves to be happy, but it doesn't have to be for long.

I was really surprised with the way Chelsea played today. People didn’t believe that Chelsea would be able to draw Manchester City. Let's be honest, before the match started, I also believed that Manchester City would be the winner of the match, even if they wouldn't be able to score many goals. I know the match will be tough, but I was surprised to see Chelsea score four goals in the match. They didn’t allow Manchester City to go away with three points, they rather shared the points, and each team went away with one point each. I was really impressed by the way Chelsea played today, let’s just hope they are getting back to form already.

I believed chelsea will surprise us with a good performance but i never expected them to pull a performance this good against Manchester City, we all know the result when chelsea play manchester city but this time around chelsea surprised us. Chelsea have been excellent against bigger opponents even though everyone expected them to lose against them. The match is the best EPL match i have watched so far this season and I think chelsea were the better side and they deserved to win in my opinion had it been they were more clinical. Lets hope chelsea can maintain this momentum and play with the same spirit in upcoming matches after the international break.

[Amphenomenon]

Chelsea players where outstanding, Manchester United players don't have this charisma that was displayed by Chelsea players, even at the die minute when it seemed all hope's where lost, they where still persisting to get something out of the game, it was would have gone in the favour of Chelsea though, because they missed a lot of chances.
With the way Jackson and sterling where mesmerizing the defence line of Manchester city, it was obvious city doesn't have its defence uptight, more like they have, good midfielders and strikers but not too much of a solid defence.

This was quite a tense match for both teams and previous predictions that Manchester City were favorites disappeared after Chelsea's players played extraordinary and it was very clear how Mouricio Pochettino succeeded in implementing a strategy to reduce Manchester City's game which controlled the game. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen Chelsea play so solidly and they didn't waste time holding the ball. Sterling and Gallagher are two key players who were able to provide positive results in this match.

Manchester City also played quite well in this match, but their defense was less solid because there were several mistakes made which allowed Chelsea to score a goal. The draw achieved by Manchester City made Liverpool and Arsenal quite profitable because currently they are only one point away from Manchester City at the top of the standings, while Tottenham dropped to fourth position after suffering two consecutive defeats.

You can't blame any Man City defenders, they did better than the Chelsea defence in that match (the CB though), Chelsea was the better team in the game, you can see it in their fighting spirit till the end of the game while Conor, Palmer and Sterling did really well, Jackson still need to improve, if Haaland had all the opportunity he had in that game, you know Chelsea would have definitely lost

[Roseline492]

Chelsea often plays well against big teams, where they managed to draw against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City, and managed to win against Tottenham.

Yes you are very correct because that's what they are known to be, but however I have been following up there history of football whenever they meet big teams, they hardly lose match against them, so however watching yesterday match Chelsea against Manchester city made me to realize how strong they normally be whenever they meet big team.

Perhaps I don't no if I could refer it as a gift that has been ordain by the spirit of football on them because the thing is becoming too obvious, first it was Tottenham Hotspur that has been maintaining there unbeatable records and Chelsea was the team that broke there records, and now drawing with Manchester City with many goals different.

[baeva]

For the first time, Pep Guardiola had a weird record in the Premier League since he is working there as a coach.
Manchester City had a 4-4 draw against Chelsea and Chelsea scored four goals against Guadiola's team that's the first time for this coach to have this experience and this epic performance from Chelsea is the reason for it.

Of course Pep Quardiola never expected what happened on that match because he was feeling that since Chelsea is of a very low performance this season that there is every tendency that Manchester City will win them without taking much of there time, so he was very disappointed seeing the first goal scored by Chelsea because he never saw it coming.

You needed to see his facial expression when Manchester city score there first goal by equalizing the goal, he was so angry because he never wanted Manchester city to allow Chelsea score the first goal they did. However for a very long time I saw Chelsea and Manchester City scoring this much goals against each other.

I do not think that Pep underestimated the opponent, he has never had this before and he prepared the team for every match as if it was against the strongest team. It's just likely that Chelsea changed tactics abruptly, and Pep just didn't know it, because up to that point it had never happened. In any case, the match was great, it gave many people back hope that Chelsea can at least try to get into the top 6 this season.

Actually, Chelsea has started to recover and is starting to find its best form of play. It's just a shame that when they started to rise they happened to meet strong teams like Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City. Beating Tottenham and holding Arsenal and Man City to a draw has been good for Chelsea so far, they are slowly starting to make good progress.

You can't blame any Man City defenders, they did better than the Chelsea defence in that match (the CB though), Chelsea was the better team in the game, you can see it in their fighting spirit till the end of the game while Conor, Palmer and Sterling did really well, Jackson still need to improve, if Haaland had all the opportunity he had in that game, you know Chelsea would have definitely lost

I also see it like that, this is not a problem with the Man City defenders, but this is because of the courage of the Chelsea players to attack. To be honest, not all clubs dared to play against Man City with Chelsea's style of play yesterday because the risk of conceding was high, because we know that there is no doubt about the passing accuracy of Man City players. But I still respect Poch who dared to play openly attacking Man City's defense until Man City's back line was unable to withstand the onslaught of Chelsea players.

Pep guardiola always find it difficult to win teams that are defensive and attacking minded, if your team is solid enough to contain the firepower of the Manchester City midfielders, and your team can as well force attack, just the way Chelsea played, then you will have a fulfilled Day against pep guardiola, because your team cannot control the midfield against Manchester City, Manchester City have more midfielders that will try to break through your defence line,  but hence your defence is solid and you are attackers are also living up to expectations, then your good to go.

Seriously, Chelsea have been playing well lately. I am just surprised that no strong team has been able to win Chelsea since the beginning of the season. They always play draws. I am beginning to have confidence in Chelsea. I just hope they will be able to continue with their current good performance, and if they can do that, they should be able to win their next few matches.

Chelsea's next match will be against Newcastle and that match will speak more of how far they can go this season. If Chelsea can win against Newcastle in an away match, you know that they have been able to survive their tough match for this month and year, and the rest of their match this year will be minor and they will win them all.

With Manchester City's performance and position as the best team in the world, no club side has been able to score up to 4 goals in a match against them. And Chelsea were able to do that. That's unbelievable for such to happen between Chelsea and Manchester City.

It's like Manchester City's dominance in the premier league will be shaken this season. I don't think they will be able to lift the Premier League trophy due to how weak their defense is becoming

[asriloni]

Tottenham continue to surprise us. First the huge loss against Chelsea after being shown 2 red cards and now this loss against Wolves... I really don't know how they managed to lose this game honestly. It was like an epic ending for Wolves side for certain. Because both goals came in the stoppage time and the winning goal was even in the last moments.

Maddison and Richarlison both weren't able to play due to injuries. This was a big hit to Tottenham of course. But I still believed in their impressive team effort in general of the season so far. But we couldn't see that here at all. If they managed to keep that 1-0 advantage to the end then I would have called it a lucky win honestly. 

Chelsea was on fire. This club was giving very good showes two times in a week. One against totenham then manchester city. Chelsea needs only to train how to break the low block strategy and im sure this club will be performing so crazily. Many people were doubting this club but the last matches have proven if there have been many changes happened in chelsea. Even so many fans from other clubs were also giving their praises to the match between chelsea vs manchester city caused by it was really world class match. No doubt that if many people are feeling so happy caused by they were watching the real footballs here. This match is farr better than elclassico from la liga which is a boring match right now. Chelsea and manchester city are strong clubs.
Chelsea needs only to go up then try to reclaim the position to be qualified for the UCL competition. Many people are hoping chelsea will be back at the top.

[bering]

I have been notice after international break Premier league has a big match between Manchester City vs Liverpool and we all know both teams were in the good shape because whether it Manchester City or Liverpool recent performance is almost equal but the meetings records has been showing Liverpool always be hard struggle to gets the winning result at Etihad Stadium because in the last 2 matches at Manchester City home ground Liverpool always be lose and this is interesting to know whether Liverpool can able to win and taking over first place or Manchester City will win

The team conditions from them looks quite good although some of Liverpool players were got injured i think it won't be affect to their performance later even so with Manchester City although they still lost De Bruyne but so far their performance was still stable at premier league or champion league and for this match Manchester City has a good opportunity to win the match especially Halland has return to scores goals again recently but hopefully after international break there won't be any more players from both teams who getting injured

It becomes real. Many were doubting the performance from chelsea but pochettino's squad was very very strong when it was facing a strong club. I can't even describe how big the improvements being made by chelsea but the result is enough to answering everything.
Chelsea becomes even more structured than before. The gameplay is also amazing caused by there was strong chemistry between any players and this club is going to be a perfect club someday.

Trust the process that's what pochettino said about chelsea. Chelsea is only need a good striker at this moment who can perform better than jackson. Probably osimhen or someone who capable enough to do that.
Chelsea is the best once in the last 25 years. No doubt if people are seeing chelsea is having very good progress at this moment. The club is now always hearing with any complaints that came to the club.
This is crazy. I can't imagine how good chelsea in the next years.

I think Chelsea will perform better in coming season as compared to currently, despite their impressive display in a 4 draw goals match against Manchester city on the weekend.
I was blown away indeed. I didn't really get to believe at first they would dare win or even draw the match,  but the results was interesting and nothing short of a miracle. Hehehe.

They do need a striker as I have often said, I do think Osimhen is a good choice of striker to be considered for that role.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Throughout the Premier League matches at the start of this season, perhaps the most exciting match in the first to second half occurred in the match between Chelsea and Manchester City. People must be the same as I thought before starting to play and think Manchester City is a team that will easily get full points. However, Pochettino was able to provide the right strategy in applying pressure. This draw is indeed very deserved, because the statistics for Chelsea and Manchester City are quite balanced. Starting from shots on target, ball control, accuracy to how to dominate the game, it is almost balanced. Pep Guardiola couldn't focus at the end because after Palmer's goal from the penalty spot, Manchester City's game mood fell apart, Palmer as the former club gave Pep a gift. Even though Chelsea was able to hold Manchester City to a draw, their respective positions did not produce results in the standings, with Chelsea still in 8th place and Manchester City firmly at the top of the standings.

- I'm also surprised by Chelsea's performance against top teams—good results against Arsenal, Liverpool, and now Mancity, despite being considered the underdogs. They appear to be in better shape than Manchester United. The level of determination in their play is palpable, even though Chelsea is grappling with several issues currently. The match was highly emotional, with the scoreline chasing making it incredibly exciting.
- While Mancity seemed on the verge of securing all three points, Chelsea refused to give up, and their resilience was handsomely rewarded. The draw felt well-deserved for them. It's these kinds of thrilling and hard-fought matches that keep fans on the edge of their seats, showcasing the unpredictable and exciting nature of football.

Chelsea from all indications have really improved since the new manager Mauricio Pochettino took over as the manager of the club. City on the other hand has also improved after they suffered two League defeats in a row this season. Currently they're at the top of the league with point difference against second placed Liverpool

Chelsea did not recover quickly under new manager Mauricio Pochettino because at the start of the season they appeared disappointing, but over time they have shown positive changes in several previous matches. The English league is known to be quite competitive because even though strong team face team at the bottom of the standings, the matches are still very tense. Even club that have big names in the Premier League can be beaten by team at the bottom of the standings with details of several matches that have taken place this season.

Manchester City's biggest disappointment in the away match against Chelsea was that they failed to maintain their 3-4 lead in injury time. Ruben Diaz was forced to commit a foul to prevent Armando Broja from firing a shot towards goal, but this was detrimental to his own team because his tackle resulted in a penalty for Chelsea. It was painful to see Manchester City being broken into by two of its former players even though both of them felt uncomfortable celebrating.

I agree that Manchester City's defense looked chaotic in that game. They found it difficult to stop Chelsea's many goal attempts even though Ederson Moraes made many saves. I also feel it was one of the best matches this week or this month or perhaps so far this season. But the most pleasing thing is that Manchester City is still leading the standings, even though they failed to win against a team that is inconsistent with its performance.

That's how competitive the match is and extra minutes in extra time would be a nightmare for the club and Manchester City is not the only one to experience a result like this because other big clubs have experienced it before. I think what Ruben Diaz did didn't need to happen because even if he didn't make a tackle, it's not certain that Armando Broja's kick would result in a goal and this decision was very detrimental to Manchester City, who almost won. But in the end Manchester City had to share one point with Chelsea and this was the scenario that Chelsea hoped for because they realized facing Manchester City was not easy.

For me, this match was very interesting because if you look at Chelsea's previous condition, Manchester City has a big chance to win the match. But the strategy implemented by Mauricio Pochettino was so precise and they really took advantage of the slightest gap to make it difficult for Manchester City's defense.

This is crazy. I can't imagine how good chelsea in the next years.

At this point, Chelsea should be able to prove that the Blues are a strong team, especially after their draw against Man City. Facing big teams seems more realistic for Chelsea than taking on underdog teams. Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Man City have all felt the threat, and every match against Chelsea has seen a lot of goals. Once again, Chelsea remains undefeated against the top 4 teams.

Everyone is closely watching Chelsea's performance right now, and it does seem like Chelsea might need a few more players, maybe someone like striker Roony Bardghji from Copenhagen to add some variety to Chelsea's attacking line. The Blues are reportedly interested in this Swedish striker due to his impressive performance against Man United in the Champions League, where he played a decisive role in Copenhagen's victory.

Watching my favorite club gradually coming back to form, is definitely what triggers joy and smile on the face. When Todd Boehly appointed him as coach, I thought it's really bad news for the club but we didn't know he got some light shining bright like a star this season and we are actually watching him glow in his positionas headcoach. The underrated new Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino might turn out to be one of the good thing that have happen to the the Blues. He's confident in his players and he's also keen on obtaining solid results for the team. He's only 51 and strong enough to absorb all pressure from the Blues this season.

[Sebas.tian]

Permits me to say this, Chelsea vs Manchester City is the best game I've watched so far this season, they kept the fans on suspense, none of us knows the actions that would happen next, both first and second half was tied to draw. I'm now confident of the Blues, they're capable of hitting to new heights if they maintain consistency in league games. When it comes to elite teams, Chelsea have wonderful performance and they're extremely having excellent results this season. In some weeks, we will be expecting the return of Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia. They're both important member of Chelsea squad and aiming for heighten levels this season.

Chelsea know how to battle with big teams in this season, but they failed easily with some small teams or is it how their new coach thought them in this season, because what Chelsea did to Manchester city made me to believe that with time Chelsea will make a good record to start displaying what Manchester city is displaying in this season that is making them to lead the premier league table. The match started as usual when Manchester city was leading with one goal in the first half before Chelsea turned to equalized the goal that made many people think that what happened to Arsenal is about to happen and it was a surprised match seen Chelsea draw the Match with Manchester city 4-4 to share the points. I don't think, those new players coming to join Chelsea will make them to sit on the second or first position in the premier league table because Manchester city, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will never allow such thing to happen in this season than to go and prepare for another match that will make them to defeat Chelsea as usual.

Chelsea has proven that they are still one of the big teams in the Premier League, but their inconsistent performance is normal in my opinion because this team is in the process of getting back up after going through many changes in the squad so it will take time for them to slowly recover. return.
And from what is happening now, many people have no doubt that Chelsea can be even better, now they just need time to be consistent.
Maintaining team consistency is not easy, but at least Chelsea has proven that they are a strong team, Mauricio Pochettino is a coach who has experience in the Premier League and I believe that he will be able to put Chelsea back in the top flight, but not this season.
