Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Yes, it cannot be denied that the EPL is the league with the tightest competition and the most competitors from top big clubs. So, every club is obliged to perform well and excel in whatever conditions. However, on the other hand, injuries to first line players at a religious club is a challenge in itself. For this reason, the coach must have the ability to change strategies as best as possible in times of urgency and choose the most suitable replacement. Even though they may not be as strong as the first line players, at least the club will not be so devastated when a main player is injured.
Regarding Tottenham, and other clubs too, when a player has just been injured, especially a fairly serious and long injury, of course this will not be good. Because after all, usually after injury, the performance may not be as good and strong as before. So there may have to be a little more adjustment, unless it's not a major or vital injury.

Undeniably, you are right. Injuries to important players tend to make it difficult for coaches to find suitable players to replace those players in the line up. Pep Guardiola had difficulty finding the right player to replace the injured De Bruyne, so he often rotated one player with another for the same purpose.

Tottenham has at least 7 players struggling with injury problems. The team's performance has generally fallen, although as a result Ange Postecoglou has been able to give other players opportunities. Tottenham only have 22 players out of 29 in their squad at the moment, but some of them are likely to recover as scheduled and this will certainly help team improve form.

Pochettino is starting to find his team's best game in the last two matches, but I think he is still far from Chelsea's true expectations. Chelsea expects something bigger from Pochettino because after all 1 point in the previous matches against Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool is meaningless because Chelsea can still easily lose points against weaker teams.

I agree that Pochettino is in progress, but acceleration is certainly hoped for because if not then Chelsea will be further behind and will struggle to be in the top 10 for a long time. Ending the season in the Champions League zone is the target, but I'm sure Chelsea has not been convincing enough to prove it.

I've enjoyed every Chelsea game this season, both the wins and losses they've recorded, the Blues always put up a pure theater of amazing actions for the fans. Mauricio Pochettino is here to improve the team, possibly to his own taste and he has not found any solid results yet, though he's still rebuilding the club and will definitely strive harder than expected. Chelsea fans shouldn't exaggerates because Chelsea are inconsistent in league performance, they can win today and lose tomorrow game. That's basically to illustrate their level of inconsistency in games.

Chelsea is performing well right now and they are giving it their best, they have not been defeated by top clubs in the league such as Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham, if they told you Chelsea will perform well this season you would not believe them, because they have not been in good form since last season, but I believe Pochettino has realized his mistakes and I believe he will continue to perform well in his coaching, they should just try to qualify for the Champions League next season because Manchester City or Arsenal should be losing points, but that cannot happen instead, they should compete for a place in the top four in the competition, in order for them to qualify. Chelsea will play Newcastle after the break let's see if they can play well and defeat Newcastle, giving them a chance to close the gap in the table, although I doubt Newcastle will not make mistakes to give Chelsea hope.

You are funny. How will you enjoy both their wins and losses? Seriously,  I wasn’t satisfied with Chelsea's performance at the beginning of the season. I do feel bad after spending lots of money getting new players and a new coach, but there was no improvement in Chelsea's performance then. I do feel bad when I see Chelsea losing to weaker clubs in matches that they should have used to accumulate points, they wasted the opportunity then, but I am always impressed with Chelsea's performance whenever they play against strong teams.
 
With the way Chelsea is playing lately, I am sure even if they come across a weak team, they shouldn’t give Chelsea a problem. Chelsea is really performing well now, and they are playing more than everyone’s expectations. Pochettino is not trying to build a perfect squad, which is really going to work for Chelsea. I am expecting more improvement from Chelsea.

Liverpool made up for last week's point loss with a good win this week, beating Brentford 3-0 at home. Away to Luton Town, this time they showed no mercy to their opponents Brentford. With the opponent's successive wins in the last three weeks, I expected them to score in this match, but Liverpool didn't allow it. Although both teams had plenty of chances, the home team managed to convert them into goals and got the three points with three goals, increasing their score to 27 and reducing the point difference between them and City to one.

Liverpool is one club that has really fallen down the ladder lately, I don't know if it was the exit of sadio mane or something that has affected them so badly, they had a killer squad like two or three seasons ago, that where performing very well even in the champions league. I cannot pin point exactly what the missing piece is, but lately they haven't just lived up to expectations, I don't know if it's my own bias judgement but that's just how I feel about Liverpool

Between Chelsea and Manchester United, Manchester United will have more problems because they were already having problems, but now will have more to deal with Erikson their midfielder who was very good in some games is injured and will not return soon due to a knee problem, their new striker also has problems with injuries to deal with, he is suffering from a muscle strain and will miss a few games. Manchester United struggle to win games recently scoring just one goal, maybe with the opportunity that Martial will have, he will be able to score more goals.

Manchester United news

Manchester United need to improve, their next three opponents in the premier league are Everton, Newcastle United and Chelsea.

Some of the Manchester United players will miss some of their matches due to injuries. A big club like Manchester United did not have any other squad to replace the players that have injury, to keep their performances strong, the only mistakes Ten Hag's made during the transfer window, he thought the available will be enough to win their games. Now that is it, Casemiro, Eriksen and Hojlund will miss some matches too, the midfielder will be weak, i can see that is just the position in the league, if not Chelsea is doing better than Manchester united already, i don't think Manchester united will defeat them. I just hope Hojlund gets back before their next matches.

We cannot underestimate Everton's performance against Manchester United, and if players from that team fail to return before their next match, I don't think it will be easy for them to play against their opponents. My only hope is that Ten Hag's will add more players in January.

Pep Guardiola had difficulty finding the right player to replace the injured De Bruyne, so he often rotated one player with another for the same purpose.

City are definitely missing the creativity of Kevin De Bruyne, what he brings to this City side makes him somewhat indispensable, but huge praise must go to Julian Alvarez, he is the player who has replaced KDB in the team, playing behind the striker (Erling Haaland), and he has been doing exceptionally well. I know he is not close to being as creative as KDB, but he is such a wonderful player and he has helped  City not to miss KDB as much as they would have if he (Alvarez) wasn't in the team.

Footballers are getting injured quite often these days and it is because of the enormous amount of games they are made to play every season, with little to no break; it is so exhausting, and the people fixing these games have to look into this. These players are also humans and it is not just about the money that the footballing bodies want to make.

I feel really bad for them because I no the kind of effort they put in this season premier league from the beginning by making sure they never lose matches to any clubs but however there problem started from there match against Chelsea, they tried all possible best to win the match but Chelsea performance became even more stronger, and however some of their players sustain a serious injury on that match which has been affecting there performance up till now.

Honestly I never new that the Almighty Tottenham Hotspur will end up this way after all there performance this season premier league.

Creativity, effort, consistency and precision. His passing is above everyone else's and that can make quite the difference. He really is the engine of the Manchester City game in both directions. Whether they attack or defend, De Bruyne is present at all times and decides whether to speed up the game or be calm in a certain situation. With Gundogan and De Bruyne being gone both at once, this specific kind of character is missing in the team at the moment.

The woes of Liverpool was for last season and not for this very reason. Since this current season started Liverpool has been performing excellently well together with Manchester City Arsenal and Tottenham. Among the clubs that are in the top four of the English Premier League, I only believe Liverpool to be the club that will give Manchester City FC a befitting fight. Every other club in the top four will not be able to give Manchester a desired fight towards the end of the season to determine who will be the champions of the English Premier League. Arsenal would have been in a better position to give the desired fight to Manchester City. But Arsenal has proven that they always become inconsistent towards the end of the season. I don't know whether it is because of fatigue or they are generally unreliable.

As long as this season is concerned. I only believe Liverpool to be the ones that will give Manchester City fight

Too many coaches have complained and lamented over same issues, but all fell on deaf ears. I think, it was the reason that lead to the increments of substitution ( From ³Substitute to ⁵ Substitute ) in the Premier League. Earlier this season, Manchester City midfielder and only player to score a goal during the last Champions league said this is getting out of hand and shit needs to be done about it.

For Manchester City! How creative has he been this season? I mean Julian Alvarez! I think Pep Guardiola brings him in the game to make and create up space and free up Erling Haaland. More of the creation and creativity comes from Phil Foden, Bernado Silva and Doku for Manchester City.
I do think that Kevin De Bruyne's back already but Pep Guardiola has refused to bring in the Belgian International quickly into the squad.

I was thinking on Sunday how come it is possible for Chelsea to have won most or all duels in the midfield,I forgot about these two great players that made up a huge chunk of Manchester City success and I fully believe in that saying in football,your midfield either wins you games or lose you games,showing the importance of this department of the team,for me being the most important in the team,just look at all the glorious teams through the years not only here in Premier League but also other leagues and you will see super performing teams had always the best midfield.

The exit of mane no doubts has it's own fair effect on Liverpool but then they have been doing good regardless except for recently where they seem to be having some slow moments, but I think they are definitely going to improve with time as the league is still have some more time.

I don't think they are really doing any bad though they failed to qualify for the UCL but they aren't doing bad either with the premier league and back at the Europa they have been brilliant except for the recent loss they had because they didn't play with their complete squad. But klop is very focused on making sure he gets the Europa title some I'm sure if there's any poor performance it will be taken care of soonest.

Chelsea often plays well against big teams, where they managed to draw against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City, and managed to win against Tottenham. However, I think their performance has not been consistent so far, because they often lose points when playing against teams they should be able to beat. This is a task that Pochettino must immediately address because it is the only way for Chelsea to get back on its feet.

Chelsea's performance really depends on who they play against. To be honest, I felt a bit strange that Chelsea performed so well when forcing Manchester City to a draw at Stamford Bridge yesterday, while they dropped so many points in a relatively easier match.Of course Chelsea are experiencing an improvement in performance recently even though they are not actually considered consistent.

Chelsea are still struggling to improve their performance and player confidence, but I think they are on a good track after successfully holding Manchester City to a draw and beating Tottenham. The next games are against Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United, so many people will question their consistency especially because there are 9 games waiting for them until the end of the year.

I don't think if we should keep talking about Chelsea and their performance against Manchester City in the past few days because the Chelsea we saw in the past could easily beat stronger teams like Manchester City and they were even racing to the premier league title. Now this team is not in a good situation and just taking a draw against Manchester City is not a good reason to say Chelsea is back in good form.

Most or everyone will definitely admit this and understand how de Bruyne contributed to Man City. Unless it's haters. It cannot be denied that de Bruyne's position and abilities cannot be completely replaced so far. However, Man City actually also has quite good supporting players. So at least when de Bruyne suffers an injury and also has a long recovery period, their performance can still be good, even though there may still be something missing. And the problem is when de Bruyne returns to the team, can he be as optimal as before> Because after all, the performance of a player who has just suffered a long injury due to an injury that can be said to be quite serious, will usually have an impact on his performance again.
So maybe this will also be a consideration for Man City in the future.

This is what makes Premier League is the most exciting league in the world. Teams who wants to challenge for the title need to prepare in every aspect required for a long competition with many competitors who have same level of quality. A quality Squad Depth is one key for a team to win the league. Tottenham dont have this factor. when they lost their important players, their form drop instantly. with this situation they have, I dont think Tottenham will stay competing for the title. finishing top 4 is an achievement for them.

Yes squads depth is definitely the key to win the league. Without squad depth definitely run is gonna be a short one as the team can get into trouble if you are hit by injuries. Spurs do lack in some areas but the good thing is that their injured players will be back in January so not a big worry. Long term injuries would have affected them drastically though. The only thing they need to do is do their best until their players gets recovered.

I wish they can because they have started showing inconsistency in their games now and we can as well conclude that it is because of those players that are out of play now. When those players were available, they were leading in the table but now they’ve fell under with few points. If they continue losing crucial points like this, they will continue going lower. Just when I thought Tottenham will shock us all and be on the top of the league contenders with Manchester City and Arsenal which everyone thinks, they’ve now began to play poorly and make one lose their faith in them. Premier league is very competitive and very hard to determine who will win the league title that is why no team can be regarded as an underdog once they fall within the first half position of the table. Moreover, the league is just commencing and we are not yet halfway into the competition, so we are most likely to see some changes to the top of the table by end of the first round games in the second league.

I think Chelsea can still compete for the top 4 this season despite the bad start. They are having an explosive week with consecutive positive results. After defeating Tottenham 4-1, they continued to hold Man City 4-4 in an extremely dramatic match. To be honest, Man City was exhausted in the final minutes, but Chelsea players could still explode. Chelsea played better when Pochettino was in charge. Their chances of getting into the top 4 are slim, but they still have to keep fighting even though they are 10 points behind the top 4. Remember, Chelsea has a squad full of young players, and unexpected things will happen to youth. Pochettino's teachers and students must sprint quickly and not make any mistakes.

Chelsea performs admirably against Manchester City. I didn't anticipate Chelsea to draw against Manchester City because they aren't in top form, but they continue to surprise fans, as they did against Tottenham, Chelsea have begun to improve and if they continue in this manner, they can finish in the top four this season because the season is still young. Let's see how they will perform against Newcastle in their next Premier League encounter if they can perform as well as they did against Manchester City and Tottenham. Everyone believes Chelsea cannot perform as well as they have this season because their performance was terrible even last season, which is why they did not qualify for the Europa or Champions League this season, but I believe they are trying now But they will triumph if they persevere in the top 4 this season because the season hasn't gone far.

After a series of bad results, Chelsea regained confidence when winning 4 points in the last 2 matches against Tottenham and Man City. If we continue to progress like today, winning points in each game, Chelsea can absolutely think about winning tickets to the Champions League. The quality of Chelsea's squad is still highly appreciated, and they have 28 rounds left to improve their position. It's a young team, and they need time to get to know each other, build relationships, and know the strengths of different players. Chelsea's significant advantage is that they cannot participate in the European Cup this season. So, they should focus on one match at a time. The team's goal is nothing more than returning to the European arena and competing in the prestigious Champions League.

[JoyMarsha]

Yes squads depth is definitely the key to win the league. Without squad depth definitely run is gonna be a short one as the team can get into trouble if you are hit by injuries. Spurs do lack in some areas but the good thing is that their injured players will be back in January so not a big worry. Long term injuries would have affected them drastically though. The only thing they need to do is do their best until their players gets recovered.

Tottenham has their three top strikers(Maddison, Richarlison, and Solomon) and a defender(Van de Ven) on injuries, to return by January is what a coach should be worried about. From now, till the time when Tottenham players are back from their injuries, up to 6 - 7 matches have been played before then. Only in their two last matches(Chelsea and Wolves), which their injured players didn't feature in, they lost it. You can imagine how many remaining matches they would play and lose to before January and you don't expect the Tottenham coach not to be worried about that from now till then(January).

[Leviathan.007]

West Ham ended their bad run this week and beat their opponent 3-2 at home and managed to win again after 4 weeks. We can say that they struggled in the match because they played a league match after the European match. Although they took the lead in the 3rd minute with Paqueta, they conceded a goal towards the end of the first half and the first half ended 1-1. In the second half, Forest scored the first goal and went 2-1 up but West Ham equalized 2 minutes later. The winning goal came from Soucek in the last minutes.

This was really interesting watch between West Ham and Nottingham Forest, but West Ham was the better team and they had everything they needed to have in this match to win.
West Ham had more possession in this game and they had more goal opportunities than Nottingham Forest.
After the three points they got there, West Ham needs only two points to reach Brighton.

I don't think if we should keep talking about Chelsea and their performance against Manchester City in the past few days because the Chelsea we saw in the past could easily beat stronger teams like Manchester City and they were even racing to the premier league title. Now this team is not in a good situation and just taking a draw against Manchester City is not a good reason to say Chelsea is back in good form.
 

Well I agree with you I also say the same thing, we can't say Chelsea back to the track while we only see Chelsea playing well in the last 2 matches and that is not enough to prove anything, at least we have to see Chelsea on the Top 5 so we can say they have returned to their best performance. In the upcoming match Chelsea will be against Newcastle well let's see what they can do while playing away. Chelsea is only 4 points behind Newcastle this means that if Chelsea win the difference is only 1 point then they can focus on getting into the top 5 positions. It must be admitted that Chelsea is going through tough weeks because they have to play against strong teams, including the next 3 matches Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United, if Chelsea doesn't lose in the next 3 matches then it can be said they have found their best game.

[Renampun]

Chelsea is performing well right now and they are giving it their best, they have not been defeated by top clubs in the league such as Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham, if they told you Chelsea will perform well this season you would not believe them, because they have not been in good form since last season, but I believe Pochettino has realized his mistakes and I believe he will continue to perform well in his coaching, they should just try to qualify for the Champions League next season because Manchester City or Arsenal should be losing points, but that cannot happen instead, they should compete for a place in the top four in the competition, in order for them to qualify. Chelsea will play Newcastle after the break let's see if they can play well and defeat Newcastle, giving them a chance to close the gap in the table, although I doubt Newcastle will not make mistakes to give Chelsea hope.

In the last 5 EPL matches played by Chelsea, they have only lost 1 time (losing to Brentford), it could be said that this result is quite positive for Chelsea (slowly their ranking has risen to 10th place), If they continue to be consistent with their current performance then we can be sure that until the middle of the season, Chelsea will be able to be in the top 5. It could be said, Chelsea is currently one of the teams that has the best and youngest squad in the EPL, it's just a matter of how Pochettino formulates the best strategy to maximize all the potential that Chelsea's young squad currently has.
