Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Jody.Drummer]

Although they are ranked 6th now, but with their mediocre and even disappointing performances, it will make fans or anyone else feel that they will not be able to maintain their current position. For me personally it's not just the standings, it's the pattern of play they show too. sometimes some people don't care about the standings, but if their play is promising it will make them satisfied. Logically, when their play is good and promising, then their ranking in the standings will follow as well as their performance. I'm sure you know what I mean.

We're too focus to see the bad performance by Manchester United, but we forget if other clubs' performance also unstable and that resulting the points are widely spread. It's not like in the last season where the gap between top and middle positions are really far, it's need many many match to overtake them.

What we need to highlight is Newcastle which currently behind Manchester United.

It's true what you say, but I look at it from another point of view, which is that they are quite lucky because now other clubs also have less stability so in terms of points they are not far adrift. But keep in mind also this will only enter week 13, and when they still cannot show improvement, then it is not impossible that the point gap that we see now will widen even more after passing the next week.
Every point counts, we agree with that, and they'll have to be better to get that precious one.

In my opinion, Manchester united has not changed this season, in fact they have experienced a slight decline in starting the league this season, and it is not surprising because Manchester United itself has not really changed the team scheme while still retaining its old players, so it is not surprising that their performance has not changed either.
Maybe there will be an increase in team performance, but it will take a long time and many matches ahead for a coach to find a scheme that is suitable for a team with limited players.

How can you say they have not changed, when you say they have decreased. That's something that's changed too, isn't it?
I think the decline experienced by Manchester United at this time is one of them is that they brought in new players and the new players have not shown something expected which in the end did not bring fresh air to Manchester United itself. Apart from that, I am strange when the management seems to be relaxed with the club they have.

[Ahli38]

Manchester United rank in Premier League is not too bad and they can climb up more in rest of season. The season is long and they have enough time to do this task but with their very unstable performances and sometimes very bad, this task is not easy to achieve for Manchester United players.

Yes there sixth position on the premier League table is not too bad because the game is still far and the possibility of Manchester United to climb is still higher because I have seen other teams who are in number six on most table and latter club up because there improvement on performance.

So I believe that if Manchester United will seat up on there remaining matches by wining them there would be a higher chance for them to improve on the premier League table but however no matter how much they try they can never get to the second position on the premier league table.

We also have to remember that currently it is still in the early season category. Because only 12 matches have been played this season. and there are 26 more matches left this season. Which means that currently, any team can still be said to have the same opportunity if they want to improve their ranking in the standings. And the poor performance shown by Manchester United at the start of the season is nothing new. Because last season, Manchester United didn't start the season with good results. They were also inconsistent at the start of last season. But after mid-season Manchester United continued to win and finally their ranking slowly rose until finally they managed to reach the top 3 in the standings and managed to get a ticket to the Champions League.

I think this season the same thing could happen. Because not all teams can continue to stay at the top of the standings from start to finish (About Arsenal last season, perhaps an exception). And not all teams that are good at the start can maintain their good performance until the end of the season. Sometimes there are teams that don't start smoothly but get better as the season goes on.

But Manchester United's current condition is quite worrying. But at least Manchester United can still get a win against a weak team. Although unfortunately they always lose against strong teams. 7 wins and 5 losses is quite bad. But being ranked 6th can still be said to be a condition that is not too bad. But having a difference of 4 points with Aston Villa who are ranked 5th is indeed a fairly wide gap. So Manchester United cannot afford to lose again if they don't want the point difference to widen. At least in the upcoming match in the EPL Manchester United will face weaker Everton. And Manchester United must take advantage of this match. Because after this match Manchester United may have difficulty getting points back because after that Newcastle will be their opponents at the start of next month.

If Manchester United wants to make significant changes this season with the player scheme and the way they play this season, the coach and the team as a whole must really care about this. Especially they have to take advantage of the transfer market when it opens again this season and also change the way they play slowly so that there are more significant changes for the team, because what Manchester United needs now is to win in every game that remains this season.

[Blitzboy]

`

Yeah you have a point because Manchester City has a home advantage over Liverpool because checking there past matches from September till now they have not lose any home matches but on the contrary they have actually been winning.

So however I'm not disputing the facts that Liverpool are not in a good shape but what I'm trying to say is that Manchester City has more forceful and tactical strikers than Liverpool. For me I'm seeing Manchester City beating Liverpool on that match, but let's see how it goes because we can assume but are not certain of what the outcome will look like.

Thanks for mentioning Manchester City's home strength and goal-scoring ability. City has an outstanding home record and has been strong all season, especially in attack. They have a tactical advantage against Liverpool since their forwards are skilled and savvy. Liverpool's comeback proves they're no joke. Getting back in form reminds us of their finest play from a few years ago. Upcoming game is a strategic and determination combat.

When the stakes are this high, it will come down to who can exploit the other team's blunders. Each team is strong, and one error might determine the outcome. City may be better on paper, especially at home, but Liverpool's recent form is unavoidable. You may expect a close contest. It may be closer than most people assume.

Yes, Manchester United's opportunity is only in the transfer market after it opens and Erik Ten Hag really has to take advantage of this opportunity to be able to get players who can really provide the best change for Manchester United because the condition of this club is very worrying with several players having problems with injuries, etc. making it difficult for Manchester United to appear stronger.
At least this season Manchester United can get a position in the Premier League so that they don't feel embarrassed as a big club in the past and also Erik Ten Hag career will be counted this season because if he fails to bring Manchester United to the best ranking there will definitely be a lot of people who will blame him or not trust Erik Ten Hag again.

[klidex]

The Manchester United we're complaining about are ranked 6th position on the table, and I'm surprised because watching them play on the pitch, there's absolutely nothing special, I'm just keep witnessing the same old Manchester United game pattern last season contrary to this season. Manchester united headcoach, Erik Ten Hag have hope of reaching high limits this season? But are the supporters willing to exercise patience with him? It's definitely going to take lengthy period of time before things will finally balance at Old Trafford, I know what I'm saying.

Manchester United rank in Premier League is not too bad and they can climb up more in rest of season. The season is long and they have enough time to do this task but with their very unstable performances and sometimes very bad, this task is not easy to achieve for Manchester United players.

It is unfair as I as an observer, says it is challenging or impossible task whilst their players and coach are trying on daily basis from training to playing in real matches, to achieve this task. Their performances in this season are not worse than theirs in the last season so if in the last season, they can end it in top four, they can do it again in this season.

However the come back of Liverpool and maybe Chelsea, there will be more challenge against Manchester United to get a position in top four.

Yes, that's true, we can see the ranking that Manchester United will achieve at the end of the season because this season is still long. Manchester United still have enough time and opportunities to improve their performance and Erik Ten Hag is still given the opportunity to train this team so that it can be better. better than before, even though Manchester United looks inconsistent, Manchester United still proves that they still deserve to be in the top 5 alongside other elite clubs at the moment.

If you look at the moment, Liverpool has a better performance when compared to Chelsea and Manchester United, Liverpool is currently in 2nd place and has only experienced 1 defeat, so it's true, as you say, this is a challenge and motivation for Erik Ten Hag to get up and try to improve the ranking of the club he manages.

I don't know how many more seasons Manchester United will need to get back to their best form. They've been away from winning a title for too long, so it seems like they're starting to forget how to do it. Manchester United will certainly try their best to fight for the title, but their performance does not support that plan so far.

In my opinion, Manchester United really needs additional players to support its efforts to achieve its best performance. So far things haven't gone according to plan, so I don't think they have much hope of fighting for the title. Ten Hag needs to set reasonable targets this season that are tailored to his team's abilities, and fans' expectations should not be too high.

[Majestic-milf]

 Chelsea have been impressive in their last 3 to 4 games and fans are elated for their recent performance last week to Man City where they held the three time league winners to a 4-4 draw and I must say I didn't expect them to come back from that much goals, at least certainly not Man City but it seems they will not be allowed to enjoy that accomplishment as it has been discovered that their past owner, Roman Abramovich may have made secret transfers that breached the FFP rules and if they are found guilty, it could cost them to pay fines or point reduction and if they settle for point reduction, it will surely demoralize the confidence Chelsea are beginning to have.

I personally actually see that Manchester United really needs to take advantage of the upcoming transfer market to get several back line players to improve their poor defense from the start of this season. And it seems that there are already several defenders who are being targeted by Manchester United in the transfer market. Some of them are defenders who Manchester United failed to bring in in the transfer market yesterday, such as Jean-Clair Todibo. But I think that in this transfer market, Manchester United will most likely fail again in trying to bring in Jean-Clair Todibo. But there are many other options that could be a good choice. In essence, the critical condition that is currently Manchester United's weakness is the back line. This can be proven by the number of goals scored against Manchester United at the start of this season. So if the back line is not improved then I think Manchester United will continue to have difficulties in the second half of the season.

Yes what you said is true because we know that the season is still too early to predict what the season will look like but however there are some clubs that we can easily predict how there outcome will be on this  premier League season do to how poor there performance is, so the reason why I said there is know chance for Manchester United to get to the second position on the premier league table is because irrespective if them wining few of there easy matches doesn't guarantee them the chance of becoming second on the table because there performance is very poor and they are not consistent in wining because when we feel they have peak form that's they will show there low performance.

And beside come to even think of it, how possible it is for Manchester United to move themselves over Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur to enter the second position on the table with their current performance is not actually possible perhaps they really need to work on the team so that when they come back next season there performance will improve.

Well you're right. When we now look at the performance of Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham, there is indeed a very striking difference compared to the performance of Manchester United. So if we look at the current conditions, it looks very difficult for Manchester United to even get into the top 4, let alone get to 2nd place, which is certainly much more difficult. But a similar thing happened last season when Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester City continued to compete in rankings 1, 2 and 3 since the start of the season. But in the end Newcastle had to be willing to end up in 4th place. Meanwhile Manchester United surprisingly managed to get to 3rd place. But last season Liverpool was really in bad shape. They are similar to Manchester United this season. It would be very funny if at the end of the current season Liverpool ended up in 3rd place (exactly the same as what Manchester United achieved last season) and Manchester United ended up in 5th place (exactly the same as what Liverpool achieved last season). I think it would be very funny if that happened.

I believe that's the only way they can escape this poor performance they are having, I think after buying some few strong players they should focus on buying some youngsters or develop the ones they have because football this time is mostly for the young because after developing them they will put in all there youthful skills and energy performing on the team because even the Arsenal team they invested more on there youngsters and now the club is reaping the fruit of there hard work.

So in as much as buying more good quality players for Manchester United is important they should also consider the room for youngsters.

Poor performance is essentially Manchester United's major concern; they should definitely undergo transformation this summer, signing players in the upcoming January transfer window, which will be one of the Red Devils' tenacious measures. Erik Ten Hag ought to restructure his team; that is how you win a game. Manchester United ought to concentrate on their club because their performance is atrocious and they have almost no matches against elite teams this season. Though they will face challenges on path to glory, and they will fight with their last strength.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Despite the poor form we have found the blues this season, they have never lost to big team and have grown become tougher than anyone expected. Besides Chelsea is an elite team that do rises our hope and dissapoints us during the last minutes. It is probably not today that the Blues started this inconsistent performance, winning today and losing tomorrow have become the game routine for the Blues and I'm not surprised because it's not an easy task to expect these new players to blend together just this first season, they need time to have a good chemistry going on. Facing Newcastle, I do think Eddie Howe men do not stand a chance to beat Chelsea.

Yeah, it must be admitted that Chelsea always draws against other strong teams but if we look at Newcastle's side they also always win against strong teams I mean when playing at home Manchester City and Arsenal are the teams that have been beaten that's why I said the chances were 50:50. I agree it is not easy to get Chelsea back on track after going through a bad season since last season but Mauricio Pochettino doesn't seem to have shown optimal results this season I mean they're inconsistent meanwhile this season is almost approaching the middle of the season.

If in the middle of the season Chelsea is still in 10th position so it can be said that they failed again this season, we can say this based on their total spending to bring in several expensive players since the last 2 seasons it is recorded that they are the team that spends the most budget in the Premier League or even Europe but unfortunately the results were not as expected or maybe Chelsea need another season to come back, do you believe Chelsea can change this situation?

In essence, the critical condition that is currently Manchester United's weakness is the back line.

In ucl , Man United managed to score 9 goals but conceded 11. In the EPL, they scored 13 goals but let in 16. The real issue here is whether it's the defense or the attack that's going wrong. The goal-scoring is quite low, and in some EPL matches, Man United only won narrowly, like 1-0 or 2-1 facing underdog team. For me, their attacking line needs improvement. The Red Devils' goal production is quite low, and it makes me doubt the sharpness of Man United's attack.

Or maybe all lines are having issues? Despite being in 6th place, I feel Chelsea is stronger than Man United. It seems like Man United won't secure a spot in the top 5 this season if their performance doesn't change. Their playing style, relying heavily on long balls, seems like that of an underdog struggling to build attacks. MU is in big trouble right now.

[Minor Miner]

Though they will face challenges on path to glory, and they will fight with their last strength.

I would say that if Manchester United's performance does not improve before the winter transfer window, United should first sack Erik ten Hag and hire a new coach. And then revamped their squad. In the previous transfer window, we saw that Ten Hag could not add the right players to the squad for Manchester United. He added young players like Hojlund to Skoda. And Hojlund is yet to score in the Premier League this season. And so I don't think Ten Hag will be able to select the right players for the squad in the next transfer window. He will waste money. While Chelsea's performance has gradually improved, Manchester United's performance is still very poor.

[X-ray]

In my opinion, Manchester united has not changed this season, in fact they have experienced a slight decline in starting the league this season, and it is not surprising because Manchester United itself has not really changed the team scheme while still retaining its old players, so it is not surprising that their performance has not changed either.
Maybe there will be an increase in team performance, but it will take a long time and many matches ahead for a coach to find a scheme that is suitable for a team with limited players.

If Manchester United wants to make significant changes this season with the player scheme and the way they play this season, the coach and the team as a whole must really care about this. Especially they have to take advantage of the transfer market when it opens again this season and also change the way they play slowly so that there are more significant changes for the team, because what Manchester United needs now is to win in every game that remains this season.

What can you expect from the same coach and players? Nothing to be expected from those guys. Manchester united really needs to sack its current coach then replace him with a new one. Some useless players need to get rid of the club caused by they were an only burden for the club
The manchester united fans just need to move on. There's nothing that they can do to help their favorite teams. Manchester united has been plunged a lot to the bottom. I see no chance for manchester united to wake up again at least not for this time.
There are also many people who were putting the main concern on ten hag. I think that this is also a sense assumption to say sack ten hag will give a better result for the club.

Manchester united's management needs to take the risk. Even though united has failed many times with various coach but the team has not yet lost its hope to see Mu to back again soon.
It's likely that manchester united will be trying its best to recover its performance.

MU has actually had to fire Erik Ten Hag since the start of the season, but currently MU still does not have the option to find a suitable coach. The last rumor I read last year was that Zidane was considered the right figure, but Zidane has not yet responded to this rumor. Apart from Zidane, there is the name of the former MU coach, Solksjaer, who we all know has failed before. I don't know why until now MU has not tried to approach Conte, maybe with MU, Conte can give better results.

[Awaklara]

It's likely that manchester united will be trying its best to recover its performance.

Recovery must be carried out as soon as possible. last season they ended the season well. but this season they are not performing well. 5 defeats in 12 matches, and they have conceded 16 times, and only scored 13 goals. Of course, there are problems, and the solution of changing the coach is what club management is most encouraged to do immediately.
If we continue to stick with Ten Hag, I don't think there will be many changes for MU until the end of the season. Even to catch the top 4 in the standings, I think they will have difficulty.

[Mr.right85]

looking at Man United current movements is a bit confusing on the one hand, this team is unstable and in terms of consistency it is a bit weak but it is able to continue adding points in every match until it is finally in 6th place in the EPL standings and I only realized this after reading your reply Ten Hag efforts are so strong, who is currently trying to continue to revive MU to be able to appear stronger than before and proof that there is still a chance for MU to finish in the safest position but not in other competitions because Man United performed slightly less than optimally in the UCL and if If Man United does not qualify, they will most likely have difficulties competing in the european league.
and I thought that if Ten Hag actually focused on his performance in the EPL, he could improve everything after that he could focus on other competitions.

At least after a lot of criticism at the start of the season in recent weeks they are still doing very well where they managed to win 4 of the 5 matches they did.
This is certainly a good result although there are still some improvements to be made as well as some internal issues that Ten Hag must fix.

At the moment they are a little better when compared to the beginning of the season but it is still vulnerable for Manchester United cause if in the end the good performance in the last few matchs fade again and Manchester United have another difficult time then the criticism will return to them and the Ten Hag rumors will be heard.

Ten Hag's Manchester United has faced difficulties in the opening ten Premier League games, with several key injuries contributing to the team's challenges. But right now i think Manchester United are gradually returning to form. If we should remember how they started the season and how they’re playing now, we will sight a difference and it shows that Ten Hag is trying to put them in the right place.
 Their 1-0 win over Luton means that Manchester United are the most in-form team in the Premier League over the last five games and Ten Hag was a relieved man after grabbing the 3 points.  
Hopefully, the team will be fully back to form when their key players return form their lengthy injuries. Realistically, it’s hard to play effectively when you lack the balance in the team.
