Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Oluwa-btc]

Manchester united case this season, is a really bad one and they might end up like Chelsea last season if the management doesn't do something real quick and I think ten hag himself needs to go because I believe the conspiracy that the players are against him is starting to show off and there is nothing worse than when your own players are against you, no matter how you can try the team will never be stable. If Manchester united wants to salvage anything from their season then something needs to change in this team, if not that five points gap between Aston villa won't be the only point they would be worried about.

There should be no comparison between Manchester United and Aston Villa. Aston Villa is more of a coordinated club than Manchester United.
And get it clear now, Manchester United can never follow in the same pathway followed by the blues last season, Chelsea employed a poor coach who have never managed a club that has moved pass the top ten in the Premier League. That said, Graham Potter has never managed a big club like Chelsea not to even talk about the pressure that comes from the Champions League.

He was given too much time amd yet nothing positive came up. Erik Ten Hag is different, for if you have seen Erik Ten Hag manage Ajax against Real Madrid and other clubs in the Champions League, you won't be saying this. Erik Ten Hag just needs a proper defensive midfielder and new set of defenders.

In fact, Manchester United is still a better team than other mid-table teams like Aston Villa. Manchester United's performance has of course never been the same as when they were managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, but this team is a better team than Aston Villa until now. Moreover, the Premier League has not yet closed the first half of this season so there are many changes that can still be expected from the performance of each team.

Manchester United are not as good as before, but they have good squad depth to compete in the Champions League zone. Anything is still possible because the season is still long and of course some new players can be expected to spark more good performances this season. They have problems in defense and all lines, I mean the midfielders and attackers are also not performing very well this season.

Yes of course Manchester United have all it takes to become a better club because when we talk about squad they are okay, they have so many good quality players that can deliver well in times performance, and also just as you said irrespective of how poor Manchester United may have been performing we cannot compare them to most of the middle teams that are struggling to come up.

Perhaps what Manchester United needs right now is a good coach that could understand them and has the same pattern and vision with them, this was the reason I mention that Pep Guardiola is the right coach that's well suitable for Manchester United but unfortunately he can never leave Manchester City for now.

This season, we have clubs that are struggling. When it comes to Aston Villa and Manchester United, comparison does not work. The Villans are regarded as a middling team, whereas the Red Devils are regarded as a top flight squad in the EPL, while generating excuses that they are out of form does not convey a relevant impression to me. Erik Ten Hag made an incorrect position signings this summer, and the team suffered as a result. I doubt Manchester United will be able to return to form this season since there are so many holes to fill.

Each club will try to manage their fate to become better from time to time, which sometimes succeeds and often fails. Manchester United is experiencing a steep road, so all eyes are on the ups and downs of their performance. Ten Hag was a coach who was quite respected when he coached Ajax but now he is said to be the opposite when he is at Old Trafford, however there is no other choice he can do at the moment other than trying his best for his club.

Building a club to return to glory like the Ferguson era is not an easy thing to do, we have seen several top coaches take turns leading The Red Devils squad, but none have lasted long and come close to Ferguson achievements. The setbacks of United and Chelsea should be put to good use by teams like Arsenal and Tottenham this season, because these two clubs have not won an EPL trophy in the last two decades.

I think it only takes a few games for Everton to get back out of the relegation zone. Because Everton's current performance is still much better than other teams which are also currently in the relegation zone.

The points deduction that happened to Everton reminded me of something similar that happened to Juventus last season at Serie A. But fortunately Everton received this sanction at the start of the season. So there is still plenty of time for Everton to collect points again. However, the problem is that in the next match, Everton will face difficulties because they have to face Man United. So Everton could lose points again and be forced to stay in the relegation zone longer.

Still it's a big loss for Everton, I didn't expect Everton to violate FFP.
Then there is other news that Southampton, Leeds, Leicester and Burnley will threaten legal action because Everton have collectively benefited with tens of millions of pounds.
https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1725561076324938061

Yes it is still possible for Everton to get out of relegation soon because the match is still long and this is only half the journey there is a possibility that Everton will get out of this zone.
Another thing sticking out again what about Manchester City's alleged 115 fouls? This is sticking out from several tweets but it is not certain that the charges will be reopened.

If Manchester united wants to salvage anything from their season then something needs to change in this team, if not that five points gap between Aston villa won't be the only point they would be worried about.

Given Manchester United's terrible league performance this season, I do not believe they will finish as low as Chelsea did last season. We can observe that their performance is unappealing and unstable, yet they remain ahead of the Chelsea club in the standings. If they do not improve their performance and Chelsea maintains their current form, Chelsea may soon surpass them and be ahead of them in the standings. Manchester United are having internal issues that need to be sorted, and I believe it is between the players and the manager; if there is no peaceful coexistence between them, there will be no way for the team to progress, and it will cost them a lot going further in the league. I expect them to resolve the issue and do the needful now before it is too late for them.

In my opinion, that is the best conclusion when you want to compare Aston Villa with Manchester United. They need to talk about facts and not just a momentary fuss over a dip in form, so set your sights further than just 12 games.

Manchester United holds the record for most titles in Premier League history even though they have failed to win it in the last 10 seasons. Moreover, teams like Manchester City, Newcastle and several other teams continue to develop and this makes the Premier League even more interesting and they also make the Premier League one of the best leagues in the world today. Of course Manchester United are not good so far, but this is just a consequence that must be accepted when other teams play better than them.

The first defeat that Tottenham suffered this season was from Chelsea because of two red cards that their players received. Cristian Romero is famous for playing quite hard so it is not uncommon for bettors to bet on him to get a card, and with only 9 players playing, Chelsea is the team that has the advantage because after the second red card Chelsea managed to score 3 goals against Tottenham, and when they suffered the defeat against Wolves it was the most surprising thing and the factor of several core players not being able to play was also one of the causes of these two defeats.
Unfortunately, in the next four matches, Tottenham will face 3 quite tough matches so it is very possible that we will see them decline further, so competition will return between Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool and we see Tottenham as a team that will no longer be consistent unless they can quickly recover from these two consecutive defeats

I mean I get the Chelsea game, because they had 2 red cards and playing 9vs11 is not that easy and I get why they lost and all, but that doesn't mean that they need to lose to Wolves, that was a different game and they went out with 11 full players and surely they had some booked ones but they were still 11vs11 and they should have won.

This is true only if you aim at becoming champions, if you aim at champions then you have to win these games, I can see just one loss, to Chelsea, that makes sense, Chelsea is not a bad team neither, even City got a tie, but they can't lose to Wolves if they want to be in the title conversation. It was obvious that they would eventually get out of there, and they sort of did with these two games.

[Sakanwa]

Manchester city are using good when playing at home and I don’t see them not getting maximum points against Liverpool. They dropped 2 points against Chelsea in their last game and I’m not sure Guardiola would want to drop any more points especially as they’re contesting for the league title this season.

Manchester City vs Liverpool, whom among these prominent coach will accumulate three winning points, I'm going with Pep Guardiola because he's home and hosts Jurgen Klopp at Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola  is a genius, promising and doesn't welcome reluctant results but always keen on improving his team's performance in every game played. Manchester City currently topping the table and Liverpool followed. The Citizens faces the Reds next and Jurgen Klopp have remained the coach that knows Pep Guardiola weakness and strive for a win.

Pep Guardiola will really fight hard with the reds,to get a win in this encounter because they won't want Liverpool or Arsenal to top the league table, anything that makes the gunners top that table,it would really be hard for them to be overthrown,and if care is not taken,they might go on to win the league since they missed out on it last season.Meanwhile,nobody is looking at the direction of the reds,no body is seeing that they are a top contenders to the premier league tittle.I know the game between their two is really a tough match,and we all know Joghen Klopp of what he is capable of doing.He knows all the method and tactics he can use on Pep's men,so the reds can come out victorious,and at thesame time,pep will still watch out for his antics,to try and overcome them.

Man utd is terrible this season and i dont think they will even reach the europe spots at all. They need to change the coach as fast possible so they can get results. Chelsea is playing really good and if they continue like this they will be in top 5 for sure. They dropped a lot of points so i dont think they can fight for the title this season

[BIT-BENDER]

Well I think if Manchester united can change there coach ten Hag and sign in a someone like the present Italy coach I think they should experience considerable changes but right now with Ten Hag I don't see any future for Manchester united, also The signing of Onana to replace De Gea was one of the worst decision I have ever seen a team make, so in my opinion Manchester united also have to get themselves a more reliable goal keeper.

I dislike unnecessary comparisons and Competitions but since the arrival of Emery, Aston Villa have grown more United and Coordinated.
They're also daman dangerous whenever attacking. The midfielder's and attackers seems to have a good link. They're have been better than Manchester United in terms of build from the back I will not compare Manchester United with any club for because they be getting worse game after game. I still ponder how they get to accumulate all these points in the last five games with these recent downgraded development.

Bout the incorrect positions signed I agree, Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat are not worthy to be Manchester United players, at most Amrabat, I honestly don't want his loan contact extended.
They can get back to winning ways, all you have to do is Believe!!! Just Believe!!!

[Issa56]

I doubt it because there is no way we can compare Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City now in times of performance we no that on the beginning of this season Tottenham Hotspur was impressive in performance and because of that they were leading the premier League table for some time unbeating but Chelsea manages to beat them and since then Tottenham Hotspur has not recovered and they have move from first to fouth position on the premier League table.

Why should Tottenham Hotspur be compared with Manchester City right now? Manchester City performance is just better than Tottenham Hotspur performance. Tottenham was performing well from the beginning of the season, but since they played against Chelsea, everything really changed for Tottenham Hotspur, their performance has really dropped, and I don't expect any improvement in Tottenham Hotspur performance anytime soon. The Chelsea match just destabilized the Tottenham Hotspur team, and I am sure even if the two players that received red cards against the Chelsea match are back, Tottenham's performance won't be like before.

And Arsenal on the other hand is till on number three on the premier league table while Manchester City is leading, so even if there is a chance for any team to win it should be Liverpool but however Manchester City is likely gonna win the premier league this season.

Sincerely, we can't immediately decide who will win the Premier League just yet, but I believe Manchester City or Arsenal will win the title this year. I am confident in those two clubs this season because they are playing so well. Liverpool won't be able to compete with the two clubs I mentioned earlier.

[EarnOnVictor]

That's crazy. Everton has received 10 points deduction due to breach FFP. I can't even believe it. Burnley and leeds have been sending this complaint and everton has proven breach FFP. Premier league gave everton 10 points deduction.
Everton is now back again to the relegation zone with only 4 points remaining at this moment. The club needs to work even harder again to leave from the relegation zone. This is a bad news for everton caused by the club must have started from the bottom again.
https://www.90min.com/posts/everton-handed-10-point-deduction-over-ffp-breach

The Premier League have confirmed Everton have received a 10-point deduction after being found guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play regulations in the 2021/22 season.

This news may also affect the performance from everton in upcoming game against a strong club. Everton needs to push itself beyond its limit. The club really needs to recollecting 10 points again to leave from the relegation zone.
I knew this is a very hard thing to be accepted by the club but since premier league has sanctioned everton with 10 points deduction and the club can do nothing about that.

They just have to accept the punishment since they have been proven guilty. It not going to be easy for them all after coming far but nevertheless they have to be strong and improve in their performance, at least the game they had is just 12 which the have not reach the middle of the season and I believe in them they will be out of relegation zone before the beginning of the second leg. I have much confidence in them that relegation zone is not made for them with their current performance.

I think it only takes a few games for Everton to get back out of the relegation zone. Because Everton's current performance is still much better than other teams which are also currently in the relegation zone.

The points deduction that happened to Everton reminded me of something similar that happened to Juventus last season at Serie A. But fortunately Everton received this sanction at the start of the season. So there is still plenty of time for Everton to collect points again. However, the problem is that in the next match, Everton will face difficulties because they have to face Man United. So Everton could lose points again and be forced to stay in the relegation zone longer.

This is another sad news for Everton just like that of Juventus last season, the crime they committed was not even last season, it was the 2021/2022 season. I guess EPL referring them to an independent commission in March delayed the ruling for proper investigation but the crime is obvious, financial rules were plainly breached which they also admitted. What surprises me is that could these clubs be found guilty of such a deliberate breach of rules, it's bad. The profitability and sustainability rules (PSRs) breached by Everton can't be ignorantly done, something that could cost them so much. Sanctioning them with a sporting sanction is a very good one too, it pains more than a monetary sanction. Well, they've announced they would appeal, not for the offence but for the gravity of the penalty slapped on them.

That's what clubs resolved to just like Juventus which later had a very reduced punishment compared to the first 15-point deduction slapped on them. This is where Everton is driving towards, and admitting to it is enough for the penalty to be reduced. I hope this works for them as the 19th spot on the table looks ugly and threatening, but thankfully that they won Crystal Palace on Saturday, it would have been worse for them.

I am confident in those two clubs this season because they are playing so well. Liverpool won't be able to compete with the two clubs I mentioned earlier.

Yeah Tottenham Hotspur was only performing well at the beginning of the season and later lose form because of there meeting against Chelsea, so there is no way we could compare them to Manchester City because even if they meet Manchester City 10 times, Manchester City will always win them 10 times because they are far better than Tottenham Hotspur now, but however if it was on the beginning of the season when Tottenham was in a good form I would have said they would give Manchester City a tough time before they can  win Tottenham or if at all they could win them.

And also I no that the league is still far but considering Manchester City performance you will agree with me that they have upper chances of wining the league.

Pep Guardiola will really fight hard with the reds,to get a win in this encounter because they won't want Liverpool or Arsenal to top the league table, anything that makes the gunners top that table,it would really be hard for them to be overthrown,and if care is not taken,they might go on to win the league since they missed out on it last season.Meanwhile,nobody is looking at the direction of the reds,no body is seeing that they are a top contenders to the premier league tittle.I know the game between their two is really a tough match,and we all know Joghen Klopp of what he is capable of doing.He knows all the method and tactics he can use on Pep's men,so the reds can come out victorious,and at thesame time,pep will still watch out for his antics,to try and overcome them.

Isn't that the opposite? For me, it is Jurgen Klopp who should be more wary of Manchester City. apart from this match being played at the Etihad, City is not a team that is easy to beat. there are several factors that made City lose to Arsenal, Wolves and Newcastle in the EFL Cup. none other than that, the performance of City players has decreased, especially in defense.  Naturally, so far Pep has never played his main squad line-up.  n every match, Pep always does something with player rotation and some experiments, IMO. even so, their front line is still sharp.
Honestly, I can't describe what Pep really wants, but the point is that he wants his squad to play well and at the same time is looking for the ideal formula. In one match, City can change its pattern three times depending on the players entered and the team they are opposing. I'm pretty sure that Pep has a plan for his squad, especially if his players are injured.

Talking about The Red, I actually don't underestimate Jurgen Klopp's squad. However, it seems that this season is not the season for Liverpool. although in reality, in football it is unique. Unfortunately, the depth of players they have is not enough to compete fully until the end of the season. we can refer to betting odds, City with @1.69 and Liverpool with @4.50. In fact, several City players have been injured, such as Kovacic, Ake, Ederson, Stones, who may miss the match against the Red. However, the bookies still favor the home team.

Regarding Klopp's tactics, the pattern he is currently implementing has changed slightly. because last season it was not effective and every opponent knew Liverpool's weaknesses. and this season, it's not much different for me. So, to be sure, we are waiting for the meeting between these two teams to be held. and if I have to be honest, I would prefer this match to end in a draw. because as an Arsenal supporter, I want the Gunners to be at the top of the standings.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Why should Tottenham Hotspur be compared with Manchester City right now? Manchester City performance is just better than Tottenham Hotspur performance. Tottenham was performing well from the beginning of the season, but since they played against Chelsea, everything really changed for Tottenham Hotspur, their performance has really dropped, and I don't expect any improvement in Tottenham Hotspur performance anytime soon. The Chelsea match just destabilized the Tottenham Hotspur team, and I am sure even if the two players that received red cards against the Chelsea match are back, Tottenham's performance won't be like before.

When the season first started, Tottenham was playing better than Manchester City. But right now, I feel that Tottenham's performance is slipping, therefore I'll not compare them to Manchester City. The injuries that have befallen Tottenham's star players are the reason for the noteworthy decline.

Even with these recent disappointments, I think Tottenham will eventually return to its previous glory. Since that their disabilities are only a temporary hindrance, the fleeting nature of their current challenges points to the possibility of recovery. As a result, even though the current circumstances might not be ideal, I believe that Tottenham's form will improve going forward as the club recovers from its setbacks caused by injuries.

And Arsenal on the other hand is till on number three on the premier league table while Manchester City is leading, so even if there is a chance for any team to win it should be Liverpool but however Manchester City is likely gonna win the premier league this season.

Even if Manchester City's performance has slightly declined, they are still playing well. The fact that De Bruyne is a vital player who is not on the team right now could be a factor in the team's poor play. If De Bruyne comes back, I think things will get much better. Manchester City can still win the league despite their present form because other clubs aren't playing remarkably well either. There isn't a team that I think is obviously superior to Manchester City or the front-runner to win the Premier League this year. Manchester City is still a serious contender for the league title because of De Bruyne's possible return and the uneven play of the opposition.

[QueenVera]

There should be no comparison between Manchester United and Aston Villa. Aston Villa is more of a coordinated club than Manchester United.
And get it clear now, Manchester United can never follow in the same pathway followed by the blues last season, Chelsea employed a poor coach who have never managed a club that has moved pass the top ten in the Premier League. That said, Graham Potter has never managed a big club like Chelsea not to even talk about the pressure that comes from the Champions League.

He was given too much time amd yet nothing positive came up. Erik Ten Hag is different, for if you have seen Erik Ten Hag manage Ajax against Real Madrid and other clubs in the Champions League, you won't be saying this. Erik Ten Hag just needs a proper defensive midfielder and new set of defenders.

The EPL is in currently in the 12th week, not even up to half way the tournament yet, which means that Manchester United still have about 26 matches left to correct their mistakes and try getting into the top four, well they might be 5 points behind Aston Villa currently but that doesn't mean Aston Villa would finish above them, let's take for instance,Newcastle where performing better than Manchester united at some point last season but united managed to finish 3rd position above them when the season ended.

 Well I've heard several rumors about united replacing Erik Ten Hag and several names where mentioned for his replacement including Graham Potter, i doubt if replacing ETH with Potter would be possible cause that's like moving from grace to grass and I don't think the Glaziers would want to make such terrible mistake, i think if they're to replace ETH it would be with a more quality manager with Same or better experience than him, not some Potter.

 Those people that are saying ETH out and that he's not a good coach have forget so soon how he helped them win a trophy and even qualified for UCL and participated in the FA Cup finals, I bet most of them didn't even watch him coach at Ajax and that he won several titles with them and had a good UCL record with a team made up of young and vibrant players of which some have now become top players and are in big teams, Erik Ten Hag is a good coach, all he needs is more time and resources, coupled with the right players at different depths of the squad to get them doing better again like they did the previous season, well they're currently in the 6th position which is not actually bad what they need is to work together as a team, to do better and move up in the standings.

[Richbased]

Building a club to return to glory like the Ferguson era is not an easy thing to do, we have seen several top coaches take turns leading The Red Devils squad, but none have lasted long and come close to Ferguson achievements. The setbacks of United and Chelsea should be put to good use by teams like Arsenal and Tottenham this season, because these two clubs have not won an EPL trophy in the last two decades.

Ferguson's impact in Manchester united can never be comparable as he has left a very big record that might be very difficult for any coach to break in Manchester united. Manchester united pattern of football eventually changed after Ferguson's exit from Manchester united. They've been struggling from one coach to another but none has been able to break the dead luck that has besieged the club for some years now. I think Manchester united needs a coach that can have almost same coaching experience Ferguson had during his coaching career for the club.

United's management needs to do something very fast to aid Manchester united performance as the club might really be paving their way to relegation and it will be very sad that a reputable club that has recorded lots of success in England will peradventure drop to relegation due to poor performance.
