Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[sana54210]

Pep Guardiola should not be in a hurry to play De Bruyne because after recovery, De Bruyne has a lot to develop, including building chemistry again with the players.
So far, the place left by De Bruyne can still be covered by other players, although it must be admitted that De Bruyne's individual quality cannot be matched by other players and De Bruyne's influence on the performance of the Manchester City team is very large, but every player has suffered a long injury. Of course, it takes time to recover so it can return to its best performance.

The world-class performance of Kelvin De Bruyne have been missed this season, can't wait to watch him bounce back to action. KDB made a promise to come back to the club as soon as possible because he had been out of action for a long time and the team and fans had missed him. Kelvin De Bruyne's position has been filled by an experienced backup substitute, and based on the team's current performance, they don't appear to miss the Belgium international, since they're consistently contending and striving for significant rewards this season. Pep Guardiola is the mastermind's plan behind Manchester City's outstanding accomplishments.

Well, when he recovers, he will definitely have to make some adjustments. So he will definitely be given minimal playing time at the start of his return when he has recovered. But a few weeks ago news spread that Manchester City was even ready to sell De Bruyne if he did not recover in the near future. There was even news that the Al-Nassr club approached him. But De Bruyne seems to have rejected the invitation from the Arab club.

Everyone will definitely miss his performance at Manchester City. But maybe he won't immediately return to his best performance like before he was injured. Because usually a long absence will make a player become a little dull and not as good as before. But fortunately it seems he is almost cured, just a few more scans before he is declared 100% cured. But the news about De Bruyne being released before his contract expires still makes me curious. Is it just a rumor or is there really such a plan from the club? Does anyone have any information about this.

I do not think that would be possible, I mean we are talking about one of the best players they have, and he helped them get the treble last year with his talents, yes he had an injury but just because he was out for half a year, doesn't mean that he should be sold, he is not too old neither so they can keep him for many more years and get the best out of him as well. Doesn't matter how much money we are talking about here, it doesn't matter if they pay a ton of money for KDB, I feel like City should not consider selling him right now.

However, City doesn't have that "loyalty" situation for their team, they did managed to shred the team a few times, keeping some players of course including KDB but if you look at their roster 5 years ago and today, there are plenty of different players.

[red4slash]

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.

Yes, I agree that we should not blame only one player in this case, because now those who have poor performance are not only Onana, or it can be said that most Manchester United players make the same mistakes as Onana. It's just that Onana is more highlighted because he is a goalkeeper, and usually the slightest mistake made will be very visible, because one mistake will be punished with a goal.
It's different when a midfielder makes a mistake, then other players can still close, the defender who makes a mistake, the goalkeeper can still close, the goalkeeper who makes a mistake, who will be able to close?

But the news about De Bruyne being released before his contract expires still makes me curious. Is it just a rumor or is there really such a plan from the club? Does anyone have any information about this.

Kelvin De Bruyne's injury is one that'll last a while and may likely cause him to loose from upon recovery, he'd need some time off to get back himself and his agility to match Guardiola's football, he's a quick picking player and he's going to be able to bounce back, no doubt City misses him as he's got this special effect he gives to the team, a few things has changed since his absence and his absence is felt in a minut level.
 
 Al Nassr got their eyes on him and no doubt it's his decision to go there or not, even though he'd cause a lot of impact in the team too, Al Nassr move won't be a bad option though but the guy has still got some displays to do, his contract with City will expire soon and then we'd know his way forward in the footballing journey.

[salad daging]

Yeah they are but honestly in that match they were lucky to get a penalty in the last minute and get a draw. Anyway they have been doing well lately and showing an intent to fight unlike earlier which is a very good sign considering the level of opponents they are about to face in next couple of weeks. Newcastle haven't been in form so must be a good sign for Chelsea here but Newcastle still are a very tough opponents. Secondly they will be facing them on their turf so that makes it further harder. Still I feel Chelsea will show us a good fight but its hard to say if they will be able to win by the final whistle.. It could go either way.

If there was no penalty at the end maybe it would have been another defeat.
This is indeed interesting because Chelsea's journey against big teams is always impressive but the results are not satisfactory, for example when with Arsenal having to draw then after that lose to Brendford then win again with Spurs because Chelsea's advantage is that the opposing player is red carded 2 is still very reasonable to win at the end with many goals, after that with Manchester City held to a draw again then you can say it's pretty good this weekend.

Who would have thought maybe we wouldn't underestimate Chelsea their squad is now full and fine in contrast to Newcastle who are having problems with their front lines, but this playing at St James' Park the host cannot be underestimated, but I want to see the extent of Chelsea's current ability.

I agree with you. I also think Chelsea are slowly improving with Pochettino. At the beginning of the season we saw Chelsea's performance was very poor. Chelsea also dropped points against relatively weaker teams. Chelsea scored just 13 goals in the first 10 games. Also the chemistry between the Chelsea players was not good. The Chelsea team lost points because of these reasons. But in the last two matches we have seen that the chemistry between the Chelsea players is very good now. Coach Pochettino has also made the players confident. For these reasons, we see the improvement of Chelsea's performance. If Pochettino can instill confidence in his squad, Chelsea's run of form will continue. Chelsea's squad is strong. Chelsea have a lot of talented players in their squad. I expect Chelsea's performance to be stronger in the future.

Chelsea have improved, of course, but they still struggle to maintain their best form. Pochettino and his players are working hard for this so that in the end they can be more competitive. Chelsea played very aggressively against top teams like Liverpool and Manchester City, but on other days they played very boringly against weaker teams and often dropped points.

Pochettino certainly has the ability to make changes to Chelsea's form and game scheme, but the problem is that Chelsea is very unstable because the players' confidence is often disturbed in several different matches. Nicolas Jackson, Sterling and Cole Palmer can sometimes be destructive machines in a match, but in other matches they are so weak and lose their direction. Pochettino must solve this problem if he wants to bring Chelsea many wins this season.

Mauricio Pochettino appears to have a future with Chelsea this season. Manchester City has been one of Chelsea's the most formidable opponents; they are widely regarded as a club that is capable of taking out the Blues. Watching Chelsea games this season has been the most entertaining I've seen so far, and they also happen to be the most thrilling contests, making the viewers relaxed and filled with tension, not knowing what the next step would be. Chelsea did not get a penalty by chance; rather, they addressed to the pressure that was placed on them.

Chelsea have improved very well in their last five Premier League matches. I don't believe the season can pick up form like that because since the season began, I believe Chelsea can't defeat any strong team in the league, but they try their hardest and I believe if they continue like this, they can qualify for the Champions League next season because I can say they can win the Premier League this season because they have many clubs fighting for the trophy and I see they are more stronger then Chelsea in the league, Pochettino is doing well, and I believe he has realized what is wrong with the team because I see all of his players doing well now, and I believe they will continue to do so. Since the season began, no club has scored Manchester city four goals except Chelsea who have surprised the fans on the pitch.

Chelsea are playing Newcastle in the league this weekend, and I believe the match will be very difficult because Newcastle are in form, and they will not allow Chelsea to defeat them at home to drop a point. I believe the match will end in a draw or Chelsea will defeat them because Chelsea have returned to their true form, and I don't believe Chelsea are lacking in any department this season. It is just that the coach did not comprehend the players at first because it was not him who signed some new players to the club, but he gradually came to understand them and they have performed admirably.

Saturday star matches: 1. Manchester City Vs Arsenal 2. Newcastle Vs Chelsea

I do not understand why I always find international breaks boring such that I do not even watch the matches. Whenever there's break, I always pray for the coming weeks to approach in order to witness league weeks. As we are about to witness another exciting EPL week, let's hear your stake about the above matches.

I think that Chelsea will be able to win Newcastle since Chelsea performance is advancing positively especially after the draw with Manchester City. In the other hand, majority of Newcastle players are still injured.

Manchester City might not be able to win Liverpool, yes I said so.

I also feel the same way towards international breaks. It takes away my joy and makes me wish for League footballs.
I’m a bit happy now because EPL games will return this weekend with some entertaining fixtures; Manchester City vs Liverpool and Newcastle United vs Chelsea. I think I am more interested in this Newcastle vs Chelsea game. No doubt Chelsea have been impressive so far. They have been playing top sides so far, and the tricky fixtures don't end and this weekend sees a trip to Newcastle in another test of their progress. I feel they have the advantage to win because Newcastle are facing too many injuries at the moment.
Manchester city Vs Liverpool will be another interesting game. Liverpool have been pretty decent this season but this trip to the Etihad will mark one hell of an examination of their progress, in a stadium where wins have proven hard to come by even during their recent glory days. Manchester city has the advantage since they’re at home. I think they’ll win.

Same way international games and breaks are important remains same way that Premier League games and other European football competitions are important,  you just  have to wish that your club you support  so not lose some of the key players they have to help them maintain the strength and pace they put into their various competitions.
It is Man City against Liverpool not Arsenal,  Arsenal  will have a derby game against Brentford and Chelsea will have another win against when they face Newcastle  whonhave too much start players out on injury.
The game for Tottenham might not be in the favour of Tottenham,  struggling times

[Roseline492]

Kelvin De Bruyne's injury is one that'll last a while and may likely cause him to loose from upon recovery, he'd need some time off to get back himself and his agility to match Guardiola's football, he's a quick picking player and he's going to be able to bounce back, no doubt City misses him as he's got this special effect he gives to the team, a few things has changed since his absence and his absence is felt in a minut level.
 
 Al Nassr got their eyes on him and no doubt it's his decision to go there or not, even though he'd cause a lot of impact in the team too, Al Nassr move won't be a bad option though but the guy has still got some displays to do, his contract with City will expire soon and then we'd know his way forward in the footballing journey.

You are right Kelvin de Bruyne injury has taken longer than expected because when he had the injury I was thinking that before this time he will be back in the field but on the contrary is still going to take more time before he could completely recovered. however it was very quite unfortunate that Manchester City has to play several matches without there key player.

So perhaps just as you said even if Kelvin de Bruyne will come back, he may not really be in a good shape to perform the way he normally do because he has stayed so long that the possibility of playing the way he normally do will not longer be guaranteed on less he starts training to regain his fitness.

I think you mean Manchester City vs Liverpool, not versus Arsenal. Correction for justification.

Manchester City might not be able to win Liverpool, yes I said so.

I also have the same assumption about the international break, but it is an important part of preparing for a great competition in 2024. Think of it as a bonus that will unite several countrymen in one team even though some of them play for different teams in the same league.

Manchester City will try to win the game against Liverpool after they lost 2 points against Chelsea. Liverpool can certainly put a lot of pressure on Manchester City because of their performance, but they are also less stable in the last 5 matches. Manchester City are not bad and Liverpool are not completely good either, so I hope this will be the best match even though Newcastle vs Chelsea can be expected to be another best match.

2023/2024 EPL campaign is one of the competitive campaigns for elite teams, because we have witnessed the decline and rise of EPL clubs this season. Don't underestimate Manchester City and Liverpool because they're the main competitors in EPL and they don't easily give up on their opposition. Manchester City vs Liverpool and Newcastle vs Chelsea are the two big matches this weekend. I will enough time to watch these top games, definitely going to full actions of the Chelsea game because I'm a fan and I can't afford to missed out this season.

Both teams will never underestimate each other because they both know that the opposing team's strength is as good as their own. Liverpool have recovered from their slump last season and so far they have become the team that could be favored for the title instead of just Arsenal and Manchester City. Liverpool's advantage is that they didn't have a tough game before against Brentford, but Manchester City did when they were forced to draw against Chelsea.

Manchester City has home advantage which can help them be motivated and have good confidence to win. However, it is not as easy as imagined, of course because Liverpool is the other biggest threat that Pep Guardiola and his troops need to worry about.

Currently no team is a big team or a small team. I have seen the mighty fallen in this year EPL season. This is one competitive season as every team is a threat to each other. The way they play is like a battle any slight chances of mistake the next team takes it as an advantage. If a team cannot win the league, they will make sure the other is frustrated in the game or perhaps a player might get injured in the process. I feel for clubs who are participating in other competition especially for those who are playing in the Champions league. They will find it very difficult if they don't buy good players during January when the transfer window will be open.

[Spaceman1000$]

If De Bruyne could be used in this match, it would probably be much more frightening because his contribution could clearly influence the number of goals the front player will score. Accurate passes from De Bruyne can always be utilized by strikers, especially Haaland, who has lost his usual sharpness when De Bruyne is not playing and I don't think will produce big goals in this match.

I read last November 10 that he was doing well. But De Bruyne has yet to join training with Man City. Until now there is no certainty when he will return to play. There are rumors that De Bruyne was involved in writing Drake's song "Wick Man".
If he comes back then this is very good, maybe Man City have a lot of strategy options with De Bruyne. Of course Man City must make sure that he is healed and ready to play.

Of course, it takes time to recover so it can return to its best performance.

Pep guadiola should go ahead as a matter of urgency to play Kevin De bruyne if he is physically fit he shouldn't worry about the mental part because Kevin De bruyne is a natural talent and has the ability to adapt to this kind of situation as we have seen this countless time, the man  always plays better than he does whenever he recovers from injuries, sometimes it seems as if nothing even happened to him you would agree with me, perhaps it's been a long while he graced the pitch with his dribbles and deadly passes and of course his pacy style of play and am sure the fans can't wait to see all of these qualities being displayed once again by the Manchester city talisman and midfield maestro.

The focus of attention in this season's title race is about Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. The top four teams will currently try their best to win the title and create a point gap between their competitors, so it is clear that there must be tight competition when competing.

Chelsea and Manchester United as well as Newcastle will fight for places in the Europa League, but Newcastle still has a good chance of returning to the top four if Tottenham lose their consistency. This week should be very tense as several matches will determine the difference in positions, so nothing should be missed. Oh yes, I didn't forget that Chelsea are starting to improve and they also have a great game at the weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino appears to have a future with Chelsea this season. Manchester City has been one of Chelsea's the most formidable opponents; they are widely regarded as a club that is capable of taking out the Blues. Watching Chelsea games this season has been the most entertaining I've seen so far, and they also happen to be the most thrilling contests, making the viewers relaxed and filled with tension, not knowing what the next step would be. Chelsea did not get a penalty by chance; rather, they addressed to the pressure that was placed on them.

I agree with you. I also think Chelsea are slowly improving with Pochettino. At the beginning of the season we saw Chelsea's performance was very poor. Chelsea also dropped points against relatively weaker teams. Chelsea scored just 13 goals in the first 10 games. Also the chemistry between the Chelsea players was not good. The Chelsea team lost points because of these reasons. But in the last two matches we have seen that the chemistry between the Chelsea players is very good now. Coach Pochettino has also made the players confident. For these reasons, we see the improvement of Chelsea's performance. If Pochettino can instill confidence in his squad, Chelsea's run of form will continue. Chelsea's squad is strong. Chelsea have a lot of talented players in their squad. I expect Chelsea's performance to be stronger in the future.

In particular, when Chelsea players recover from injury. In this way, Poche can develop the ideal system and pattern according to what he wants to implement. I just checked on several sources that I referred to, there are at least 5 players who are scheduled to return with the main squad. one of them, Nkuku, Colwill, is scheduled to return on November 26. the rest, next December. At least, Poche calmed down a bit with the addition of his new ammunition after recovering from his injury. if Poche is able to develop it, Chelsea will slowly improve and maybe be better than before. currently, they are ranked 10th.

In the next three matches, Chelsea will face quite a difficult challenge for them. visit Newcastle headquarters, host Brighton, and will challenge Manchester United. At least, this match will drain their energy to get maximum results. Well, for me Chelsea's problem is their attackers, I often say that. Honestly, I don't know what Pochettino is thinking about his system and line-up. But in reality, Chelsea needs a pure striker who can really be relied on as a goal machine in their squad. For other players, Chelsea actually has a squad that is competitive for me. However, it all comes back to the Chelsea coach. Let's see, in the next three days Chelsea will visit Newcastle's headquarters.

[Weawant]

Yes, I agree that we should not blame only one player in this case, because now those who have poor performance are not only Onana, or it can be said that most Manchester United players make the same mistakes as Onana. It's just that Onana is more highlighted because he is a goalkeeper, and usually the slightest mistake made will be very visible, because one mistake will be punished with a goal.
It's different when a midfielder makes a mistake, then other players can still close, the defender who makes a mistake, the goalkeeper can still close, the goalkeeper who makes a mistake, who will be able to close?

The mistakes of onana has severe repercussions and that's why they needed him not to be making such mistakes regardless of the excuses whatsoever, like you rightly said if other players make mistakes, it could be easily and quickly made up for but his will cot the team the whole match.

Ten hag should use This January to strengthen  defense line as that looks like one of the biggest challenge his team is facing currently and this aswell is his opportunity and chance to correct it , Manchester is not financially constrained at the  moment so I think he has the privilege to go scouting to get these issues solved and get the team back to their glory days if he must keep his job, because bi think if he fails now again he may me relived of his job.

[Westinhome]

Erling Haaland is an established striker in Dortmund under Edin Terzic but got transformed when Pep Guardiola becomes his coach, a whole lot of qualities improves about him such as his shots accuracy and better footings on the ball. I will comment about Erling Haaland, Pep Guardiola made him the best top nine in EPL in his first season in Manchester City jersey. The Norway international have gain accolades from matches and he's what Pep Guardiola described as the goal machine in Manchester City, probably what they have been lacking since the absence of Kelvin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus. These mentioned players where the players that generates solid results in the frontlines, everything match out to become smooth for City after signing Erling Haaland from Borrusia Dortmund.

 If the coach of the team was changed he used his own strategy for the team performance.It may be the reason for the transformation of Erling Haaland who know as striker of the Dortmund.Pep Guardiola made the entire team performance good now,So this also included the Erling Haaland.He never concentrated on the individual player,not any coach will target the one player performance and only check what that particular player contribute for the team performance.The frontlines like Kelvin De Bruyne and Serigo will perform good in all the matches.So many team fear by seeing their name in the squard,because their performance create the solid performance all the time.

[ShowOff]

Regarding the big match between Manchester City and Liverpool, none of the bookmakers put Liverpool as favorites. With this I can really assume that Liverpool is not believed to be able to beat Manchester City as their odds in sports betting range from 3.40 to 4.30. But of course their analysis could be wrong and Liverpool could win the match, but in most cases the analysis regarding the match tends to be correct.

I know betting on low odds on Manchester City is very risky because the match tension is expected to be very high. Liverpool doesn't want to lose and will try to take first place in the standings from Manchester City, but I fully believe that Pep Guardiola will do his best to secure points at home. A draw can be considered, but I hope Manchester City can take advantage of home advantage to win.

I agree with you. I also think Chelsea are slowly improving with Pochettino. At the beginning of the season we saw Chelsea's performance was very poor.

We can’t compare Chelsea's performance this season with last season, we all saw how poorly Chelsea performed last season, but we can see great improvement in Chelsea's performance this season. When the season started, I wasn’t really satisfied with the way Chelsea was playing, but now Pochettino is already having the perfect squad that will work for the club. As we can see, Chelsea is really performing well lately, and I am expecting more improvement in Chelsea's performance after the international break. Some of their players that have been on injury since the beginning of the season will be back to the team, so I'm sure it’s going to contribute to Chelsea's performance.

Chelsea also dropped points against relatively weaker teams.

That’s what has made Chelsea in their current position, they shouldn’t have utilised the opportunity they had, they lost and played draws to most of the weak teams they played earlier, if they had won most of the matches, they would have been in a better position. They are currently playing against difficult teams, and they are finding it difficult to get full points, but at least they are trying, they are getting 1 point.
