Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Despairo]

As we saw last week against Chelsea, City was unable to win, how could you think that Manchester City could beat Liverpool, look at how Manchester City's back line conceded four goals so easily, this is a mistake that Guardiola must immediately fix, of course. It would be very detrimental for Manchester City if they didn't really fix their shortcomings in the back line which was quite lacking in strength like last season.

On the other hand, Liverpool can't able to win against Luton Town which currently at 17th position and lose against Toulouse which currently at 14th position.

But we need to take a look with the current condition, Manchester City will play without Ederson, Haaland, Ake and other players that still injured, they're lack of players. While Liverpool has more players, so I think this will be advantage for Liverpool and they have a better chance to win.

I also think this is the right time to sack Ten Hag. Because it is already understood that Ten Hag failed with Manchester United. And Ten Hag coach will have Manchester United's top four qualification in the points table. Moreover, it will take time for the new coach to come and get to know the players of the team. And the new coach will certainly run some experiments with the team. And then the new coach will have enough time to buy the necessary players to strengthen the squad in the next winter transfer window. Unless Ten Hag is sacked now, I don't expect much better from Manchester United this season. The team will not be able to qualify for the Champions League.

The so called failed Manager qualified Manchester United for the Champions League in his very first season as a Manchester United manager, same manager won Manchester United a trophy in his very first season and also could have won the finals against Manchester City during the Cup final. Thanks to IIkay Gundogan who put Manchester City ahead in that game.

Erik Ten Hag has failed in some areas and has taken too long to get these issues fixed up, but I will not support his sack for he understands the fans and the club very well.
What Manchester United is facing right now though is more than manager issues, at least he was told before joining Manchester United.
Qualification for the round of sixteen Gon be hard, but the Premier League top four would be possible.

Manchester City's standings are currently still in 1st place and I can't wait to watch the upcoming match, namely Manchester city against Liverpool and these two teams are strong teams and in that match I want to see the best performance of Haaland who is currently the top scorer in English league 2023, 2024.

and I think Liverpool will be a tough opponent for Manchester City because there is Mohamed Salah who is currently the 2nd top scorer in the English league 2023, 2024.

and I see that Liverpool's performance is now getting better and against Brentford the score was 3-0 and Liverpool won the match and Mohamed Salah performed brilliantly and scored a goal.
We'll see how exciting the match between Manchester City oppose Liverpool will be
what do you think and who will win? but I'm sure Manchester City will win.

When i hear name of liverpool and i think if it's all about salah. This guy has the biggest contribution to the club compared with another player. The match between city and liverpool will be another hyped match again. That will be very interesting match.
I meant if we must also aware about how manchester city is trying its best even without some key players. The only threat for city will be salah caused by this guy is the playmaker owned by liverpool. He was always making chance for his team mate. No doubt that if manchester city needs to put more attention to the salah. Being able to block him meant city has chance to win against liverpool. I think that this is going to be another amazing match. Liverpool is also on fire at this moment.

It gives liverpool more chance to win the game but i expect nothing from diaz caused by he is going to face one of fastest RB in EPL. Walker was as good as reece james.
Im thinking diaz will be having difficulty in passing walker.

The next English Premier League fixture of Manchester City which will be a home game against their old rivals Liverpool is unarguably the most interesting game this weekend in the league. The result of that very game might change the current status of the league table because a win for the visitors will see them overtake Manchester City at the top of the league standings.
Pep Guardiola Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool has been the biggest rivals in the league over the past six years and their rivalry will once again be tested when they meet on Saturday at the Etihad stadium. It's a very difficult game to predict the outcome if you ask me but I know the both teams are definitely gonna score in that game

most people may believe that Liverpool can beat Man City, but looking at the depth of players and Man City current desires, they dont want to be pushed aside by anyone and want to continue dominating the EPL to get the title like last season, even though no one guarantees Man City victory, we have to consider that the match is at Man City home ground, which means the chance of victory for Man City is very big but it does not rule out the possibility of a draw because I also admit that Liverpool has a good enough performance to withstand Man City attacks.
but the match schedule is still around 1 week away and there is still a lot going on, while several players who are defending their countries during the international break could suffer injuries and I hope that I dont want to see Man City or Liverpool players suffer injuries like players in other leagues.

Yes but you forgot to mention if the reds was winning against brentford which has destroyed chelsea. 
Liverpool is coming back again to be one of strongest contender to win the game. Liverpool was just using secondary squad since the first half then the main players were starting from the bench. 
Liverpool still strong.

But we need to take a look with the current condition, Manchester City will play without Ederson, Haaland, Ake and other players that still injured, they're lack of players. While Liverpool has more players, so I think this will be advantage for Liverpool and they have a better chance to win.

Eventhough city will be missing many players but city is still having good players to backup all of them. Alvarez can play as a striker against liverpool. Doku may become the key for city to break liverpool's defensive line.
Let's see how this match plays out, even though it may not be as entertaining as the one against Chelsea.

I don't think Liverpool can beat Manchester city but I think there's a very high tendency of draw than a win because Liverpool is just a point behind Manchester city on the table and they could get a chance at the top of the table if they win but then if they draw the will still maintain the second position.

Manchester city is at home and I see that as a good enough advantage but then when I taught of their performance against Arsenal last time I got the impression that against big teams who seem like their equals, they usually don't find it easy and some times really struggle and loose just like I'm the case of arsenal although they weren't at home so lets hope it's different since they will be playing from home, if it has been when Liverpool still had mane I would be very sure Manchester city will definitely struggle against Liverpool even though they still would now.

It would be very detrimental for Manchester City if they didn't really fix their shortcomings in the back line which was quite lacking in strength like last season.

I think we all know that Manchester City is not as strong as before, therefore I don't feel confident that they can win the UCL this season because there are many shortcomings in their back line and front line. It would be better for Manchester City to focus on the EPL because they might be able to chase this title with easy even though they often fail against clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal, I think against Liverpool it will certainly make it difficult for Manchester City to win, my prediction is that the result will be a draw for their match.

Hey you underestimate Manchester City too much if you say they are not as strong as they used to be and some matches that happened if used as a benchmark actually Liverpool is also not much different because in some previous matches Liverpool were also held to a draw from Luton which shouldn't have happened and lost against Toulouse, whose strength is much different from them.

Some matches cannot be used as a benchmark for a result that will occur in other matches because it is only about increasing the probability not as a benchmark it will happen and certainly the Liverpool and Manchester City matches will be very interesting to wait for.

Manchester United and Chelsea are both not in good situations but awe can't say Manchester United should get Eric Ten Hag fired

If Manchester United can try that, then they will be ending the season at the bottom of the table this season. What happened to Chelsea last season might end up happening to Manchester United this season, because I'm sure they won’t be balanced this season. It’s really a wrong idea to sack a coach in the middle of the season, it’s really going to affect the club because the new coach will find it difficult to adapt with the players easily, and there will also be pressure on the new coach. Ten hag performance wasn’t really bad last season, maybe he just made some wrong signing and some of his players that are on injury is really affecting him, so I think he should be given more time.

This is not the right time for Manchester United to push Eric Ten Hag Hag out from being the coach of Manchester United,  i think if Manchester united sack him now Manchester United will be worse than what they are right now. Manchester United is in the 6th position in the standings,  this is not a very bad position and their are still hopes that tge team performance can change and be better than what it is right now. The problem of Manchester United right now is wrong formation of players, some of the players don't really know the role to play in their game.

Yeah, Manchester United isnt at its best right now, but that doesnt mean Ten Hag should be the scapegoat. Every coach has their ups and downs  look at Guardiola and Klopp. They've had their share of defeats too. Its about the bigger picture, and Ten Hag is trying to turn things around. The upcoming transfer window could be a game changer, with Ten Hag actively involved in reshaping the team.

From my perspective, the players need to step up as well. Its not just about the coach. When things go south, its easy to lose spirit, but thats when the true character of a team shows. Manchester United's still in a decent position in the standings, and theres plenty of time to improve. Lets not jump to conclusions and give Ten Hag the chance he deserves to prove his worth.

[Leviathan.007]

The fans need to give Onana a little chance to give his best for his chance to develop at the Red Devils, of course a little patience to find confidence again from being down after joining the Red Devils, and it's very different when Bermian was at Inter Milan, in fact he played very impressively so everyone needs the process of returning to his best form, has been very visible from the several occasions that Onana has played in several important matches for the Red Devils, sometimes defenders and goalkeepers have to have the same chemistry to secure the ball, but it is very clear that in several important matches they don't So visible this season for the Red Devils..

Of course he should be giving a chance to prove his worth because is obvious that he has seriously improved in performance lately unlike his early time on Manchester United when he was finding it very difficult to perform due to the fact that he was new and not use to the club method of playing which I believe is normal for any goalkeeper who finds himself on a new club so is obvious that before he could plend to the pattern of the team will take some time.

But now Onana has started proving himself that he is a good goalkeeper because considering there past matches he has save Manchester United several times so I believe that if they give him some more time he is going to explore more of his potential to Manchester United so perhaps I'm beginning to see the good performance in him.

Let me tell you guys, the goalkeeper is not the problem. I think the main problem is the coach. And after that, of course, Harry Maguire is also a big problem. They need to get rid of these problems. Another thing is I heard that they were trying to bring in someone that they know in place of the current coach. I don't think that is also going to fix the problems, to be honest. If they actually want to improve, they need to bring the people who can actually do their job properly instead of bringing in someone they know.

The goalkeeper is not the only problem but it's definitely a great problem in Manchester United. They don't have strong defenders to protect the team and the whole team is not in a good situation to have better results but the fact about the goalkeeper in Manchester United is mostly about changing the goalkeeper while they don't need to. De Gea had a good performance and he could have played for more years in Manchester United but they hired Onana and now this goalkeeper is injured while he didn't even have a good performance when he was playing for Manchester United.

[Belarge]

We'll see how exciting the match between Manchester City oppose Liverpool will be
what do you think and who will win? but I'm sure Manchester City will win.

Manchester City vs Liverpool, expects more goals to be score, awaiting to watch one of the big games this season. Pep Guardiola will shake hands again with Jurgen Klopp in Etihad Stadium when they meet after international break. Manchester City can not easily get a win against Liverpool that happens to be one of the most competitive clubs in EPL this season. However checking from the other side, Liverpool have good squad that records streak winnings in gamed and they will not also succumb to Manchester City fierce pattern of game, as I'm pretty sure they will absorb all pressure.

[rendravolt]

Brighton have never won in their last 5 matches and they have lost their consistency so they have lost their place to compete in the top 4. They achieved poor results with 4 draws and 1 defeat, this is quite a bad record considering their performance since last season has been so satisfying. Their next match will visit Nottingham headquarters and they must win if they don't want to be displaced by other teams. I think De Zerbi's squad will have to do a good job this week as West Ham are starting to stalk them by just 2 points. If Brighton draws or loses then they will likely be knocked down to 10th place next week.

[Wiwo]

Yes, at least that can be a consideration, I think Ten Hag's management is good, but maybe Ten Hag recruited the wrong players, causing Manchester United's condition to become unstable like this.

it turns out that there are still many who believe in this coach and believe that Ten Hag will slowly start to improve it, Manchester United just need to be a little patient to be able to achieve optimal results, Manchester United must learn from last season where they experienced a decline and they recruited Ten Hag to become coach and immediately improved this team and in the end Ten Hag was able to improve Manchester United's performance slowly and I am sure that this season Ten Hag will also prove that he is capable. Ten Hag is a coach who is fearless.

Talking about the Champions League, Manchester United still has a chance, but it's only a small possibility because Manchester will face 2 big clubs who previously beat them, but if Manchester United can avenge their defeat, Manchester United will be able to qualify for the round of 16, but in my opinion, Manchester United has a chance are only in 3rd place and play in the European league (if they can).

It seems that the players recruited by Erik Ten Hag have not been able to contribute well to Manchester United so far and it seems that their new players and old players have experienced a decline in their performance so far. Hojlund, who is plotted as a striker, has not been able to provide a better performance this season by assisting and goal contributions in every match and he seems to need time to show his sharpness in scoring goals. I think the recruitment carried out by Erik Ten Hag is not too bad, but the new players need time to adapt to Erik Ten Hag game scheme.

Apart from that, I see that Manchester United have achieved 7 wins so far and they have to remain consistent to get into the top 4 before the first half of this season ends. Everton is the next opponent faced by Manchester United and looking at the quality of both teams, perhaps Manchester United will not have any difficulty beating Everton.

Hojlund is a well-intentioned player, but I don't think he is enough as a centre forward to take Manchester United to the next level. His stats in the Champions League may be good, but I think he is very inadequate in terms of his game, which we see in the Premier League. He was not good in the last game either. There are some moments when the team is not doing well, but the striker scores a goal and wins the match or becomes the fuse that ignites the team, although this boy has that energy, he is insufficient because of his technique. Maybe in the future he will improve his game and become better, but for now he is not a key player for ManU in my opinion. By the way, I have to say that Rashford's horrible form is getting annoying.

Manchester united should not rely on only one player alone for the success in this season and just like a tree can not make a forest,  there is a need for Manchester United to make sure they make adequate preparation for the after break and the last chance of transfers by January or February,  this is very important for the club,  unless their want to end the current season like how the ended the last season which is not good for the club.

Much more also,  we have to look further on what we tend to achieve in all of that,  which is similar to what other clubs want to achieve also and for that,  there will be a lot confrontationsnfornthem and in that way their tend to lose focus if Manchester United isn't sensitive enough to hold their positions.

Yes, it is not a must for goalkeepers, but goalkeepers who have the ability to do so have a plus point in this era of modern football. But again I say that it should not neglect the abilities of a goalkeeper that should be, as in the points I made earlier.
Now what happens to David de Gea is, when he is considered not to have good passing accuracy coupled with their defense that is not better organized. No matter how good a player is, he will not have a good pass when his teammates cannot open up space and can move without the ball.

This is a difficult discussion, but I think that any modern goalkeeper should be able to participate in building up the game. On the highest level I think most of the teams have a goalkeeper who is able to support the team with the ability to initiate high paced attacks. If one team has that and the other teams doesn't, one attack can make the difference between winning and losing. That is why these versatile goalkeepers are among the most expensive players in the market. The value has increased by a lot in the last few years.

Well that's what I mean too, maybe we've also seen how a goalkeeper can end up being the first person to start an attack that leads to a goal, be it with their long pass or through an attack from below.
Like I said earlier that this is a plus for a goalkeper. Not only can they keep a goal from being conceded, they can also start attacks from their feet. But again I would say that it is a plus, or in other words, they should not forget their main responsibility as a goalkeeper.

There are several examples to be found on Youtube for goalkeepers and how they give an assist with either a shot or some of them can throw the ball so precisely and like across the whole field that this can make a difference. But having a goalkeeper who also is close to having the quality to be a field-player is the optimal situation for any team. It can take a lot of pressure from the defensive players when they know that they can pass the ball back without hesitation. Otherwise it can often be seen how critical situations emerge out of nothing because players want to avoid to pass the ball back. Frankly, most goalkeepers today are quite good with their feet and they are usually integrated into the game. But some of them are really mastering their role.

[Issa56]

As we saw last week against Chelsea, City was unable to win, how could you think that Manchester City could beat Liverpool, look at how Manchester City's back line conceded four goals so easily, this is a mistake that Guardiola must immediately fix, of course. It would be very detrimental for Manchester City if they didn't really fix their shortcomings in the back line which was quite lacking in strength like last season.

Because Chelsea conceded four goals in their last match against Chelsea, that doesn’t mean they can’t win Liverpool or they won’t be performing well in the match. Chelsea really played well in the match. I know Guardiola is really having lots to fix, but even with their current performance, they can still win Liverpool in the match. Don’t just underestimate Manchester City because they conceded four goals in their last match. I won’t be surprised if they win Liverpool in the match. Guardiola will do everything possible to maintain the current first position, and if Manchester City can’t win Liverpool, then they will be dropping from the position.

I hope you know Liverpool also played a draw against Luton Town in their last few matches. Luton Town is one of the weakest clubs this season, every team has been winning, but Liverpool couldn’t win the match, so I don’t think Liverpool is a very strong club that no club can compete with this season. Every club is having lapses this season, so I am not expecting anything special from Liverpool in the match. I still favor Manchester City to win the match.

Some football observers might say the same thing or even have a different assessment of how we see a goalkeeper in this modern era of football. Yes, we can't force our views to be the same as others, especialy since this is just an assessment from different perspectives but with the same goal in my opinion.
Yes I also said it requires support from other plyers, especially with players who have close proximity to them, yes in this case we will certainly talk about defensive players. We can't just look at one player, we have to look at all the players who move to create a good pass.

Modern goalkeepers will still need to have excellent saving skills because clubs need saving skills most from a goalkeeper. It's hard to find goalkeepers like Ederson (Manchester City) or Becker (Liverpool) who can make key passes for attacking players. Requiring and letting goalkeepers use their legs too much will create more chances for mistakes. Manuel Neur is a pioneer for modern goalkeeper but if we notice, he made some terrible mistakes because he was over confident and overused his legs.

Making a good save is not different than scoring a goal for a team and goalkeeper rather than trying to make too many passes, can contribute to the club by making as many saves as possible to block opponent attacks and shots.

It would be very detrimental for Manchester City if they didn't really fix their shortcomings in the back line which was quite lacking in strength like last season.

On the other hand, Liverpool can't able to win against Luton Town which currently at 17th position and lose against Toulouse which currently at 14th position.

But we need to take a look with the current condition, Manchester City will play without Ederson, Haaland, Ake and other players that still injured, they're lack of players. While Liverpool has more players, so I think this will be advantage for Liverpool and they have a better chance to win.

Every now and then seeing Manchester City lose is entertainment for us because it's been quite a long time and is almost rare. Therefore, there is no harm in supporting Liverpool to provide a perfect game. Despite Manchester City condition without several important players, Pep Guardiola always has a way to overcome his opponent's aggression. Now the test comes for Manchester City and I think it's appropriate for a club that always dominates every season to sometimes show a slightly poor performance.

Erik Ten Hag has failed in some areas and has taken too long to get these issues fixed up, but I will not support his sack for he understands the fans and the club very well.
What Manchester United is facing right now though is more than manager issues, at least he was told before joining Manchester United.
Qualification for the round of sixteen Gon be hard, but the Premier League top four would be possible.

It is difficult to fire Erik Ten Hag, especially now that the owner of Manchester United still provides full support for Erik Ten Hag to manage the club. Maybe in the next 1 or 2 seasons. If the results are able to improve gradually, it means that Ten Hag will continue to be maintained. Manchester United players just need to try to understand each other's wishes and also be aware of their position, if they can create teamwork then this club can easily return to its ideal format on the pitch.

[tusandii]

The goalkeeper is not the only problem but it's definitely a great problem in Manchester United. They don't have strong defenders to protect the team and the whole team is not in a good situation to have better results but the fact about the goalkeeper in Manchester United is mostly about changing the goalkeeper while they don't need to. De Gea had a good performance and he could have played for more years in Manchester United but they hired Onana and now this goalkeeper is injured while he didn't even have a good performance when he was playing for Manchester United.

Actually, previously I have said several times here that everyone doesn't have to blame Onana but let's look at Manchester United's defense and that is the problem point that Manchester United has at the moment, the defense is a little weak and for Onana I think that his performance is quite good and we remember How did Onana contribute to saving Manchester United's goal in the Champions League match at that time and that was Onana's actual performance.
Erik Ten Hag's task is actually not that difficult, just bring in quality defenders to strengthen the defense line and I still want to see Manchester United shine again like before.

[Velvet78]

Chelsea have such a challenging fixture these days. They are going to play away against Newcastle next time after leaving other big games behind consecutively. However Chelsea seemed really promising in those games. I'm not sure about whether they would have beaten Tottenham anyway if Tottenham didn't get any red card though. But especially that effort against Manchester City under bad weather conditions was marvelous!

Can they maintain this effort against Newcastle as well? I say why not. Because Newcastle are quite unbalanced recently. They are still one of the best home teams in the league though but it is the same for Chelsea in away games too. I think Chelsea will leave by at least one point here.

[xzone]

Brighton have never won in their last 5 matches and they have lost their consistency so they have lost their place to compete in the top 4. They achieved poor results with 4 draws and 1 defeat, this is quite a bad record considering their performance since last season has been so satisfying. Their next match will visit Nottingham headquarters and they must win if they don't want to be displaced by other teams. I think De Zerbi's squad will have to do a good job this week as West Ham are starting to stalk them by just 2 points. If Brighton draws or loses then they will likely be knocked down to 10th place next week.

How you start the season is important, but how you continue is more important. This is the biggest problem small teams, they start very well but cannot continue consistently. Brighton have not been able to win points for weeks, I think they will continue like this. Actually, there is no significant point difference between them and their rivals, but the gap seems to be widening.
I hope they win the next match and the team starts to recover
