Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Weawant]

Their culture are different, Manchester City's culture is play for team regardless there's a star player or not. But Manchester United's culture is play with ego and seniority, since both Bruno and Rashford are old players, they deserved to get ball than the striker.

Hojlund is just a junior player, maybe Bruno is working together with Rashford in order to destroy Hojlund and Rashford will back as a pure striker.

Clearly this is what Plays out with Manchester united most of the time, they play with so much ego and tend to give few or no privilege to younger or junior players and this culture of theirs is really telling on their performance so far because these young talents become less optimal.

Bruno Fernandes happens to be one who exhibits so much of this attitude, some times I think he places his personal interest over that of the team thereby reducing their chances of winning in some of the match, hojlund is a very good player which if such team spirit found in Manchester city could be replicated at old Trafford, he will definitely thrive way beyond his current state but then the bigger boys still wants all the glory to themselves.

When Chelsea play against top clubs, they always have surprises and play better than when they play against bottom clubs, that's why this match against Newcastle will definitely be difficult to predict, looking at previous matches against Tottenham and Manchester City is enough to prove that they really play well. when facing a strong club that is at the top of the EPL standings.

Admittedly, Chelsea despite their inconsistent performances this season, has developed a knack for going up against big teams and surprisingly playing at their best. The game with Newcastle may not be any different.
The game played earlier with Man City and the performance that was put up by Chelsea is still very fresh on my mind as Chelsea played beyond expectations.
Newcastle is no small team and while I don’t totally agree with playing at home being that much of an advantage, I can see Chelsea having a tough time trying to have a win over Newcastle playing on their home turf.

Maybe this is also where Manchester United's weakness lies. The seniority and selfish attitudes that occur between fellow players make this squad very bad at working together. In fact, news about internal conflicts between fellow players during training also emerges most often from this club. In fact, if they can reduce their selfish attitude a little, this club will become a strong team, maybe even able to match Manchester City. Because Manchester United actually has no shortage of star players. It's just that this club really lacks chemistry between the players. All players are too eager to stand out alone. They fight to become stars on the field and sometimes forget important points in football. Namely cooperation.

And whether this is just my assessment or others too. However, I feel that even Ten Heg as a coach also has a slightly selfish attitude. So it's not surprising that the players at the club do the same thing. But strangely enough, when every player at Manchester United returned to their respective national teams, it turned out that these Manchester United players were unselfish players. In fact, I see that Bruno Fernandes is also a person who is able to build very good chemistry in the Portuguese national team. Or maybe because in the national team there are many players who are more senior than them. This makes them stop being selfish and allows them to play better. I don't know, but what is certain is that Manchester United actually has very good potential if they can work together and not be selfish on the pitch.

Rasmus would come around I believe. It's just that he needs to adapt to the premier league style of play and understand that the league is way different from the Atalanta league he was signed from.
Unlike Harry McGuire of whom the media brought so much sentiments on, he is currently even doing better and has helped the Manchester United defense and team in winning some of their matches.

I think Rasmus Højlund's adaptation process has been pretty good so far, it's as planned. But as I said in the previous post, Rasmus Højlund must have full support from his teammates and he must be a target man who can make a difference as a center forward.

Rashford, Antony, Bruno and all the players must find Rasmus Højlund in the game. But look at Manchester United's game today, Rashford wants to score goals, Bruno Fernandes too and that has really made this team seem to be playing for itself without thinking about the team's benefits. This is just what I noticed, but there are a lot of issues for Ten Hag to resolve that his team is currently experiencing.

The drama continues in the English Premier League after Everton's deduction of 10 points. Now, Tottenham is under scrutiny for the transfer of Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth in 2008 for around £7.5 million. They conducted the deal with a third-party without the proper FA license before the transfer took place. Recently, the FA stated they would review the case if there is new evidence indicating serious violations of principles. If found guilty, they could face a points deduction. After a convincing winning streak at the start of the season, Spurs have hit a rough patch with two recent defeats. And now, the looming threat of a points deduction hangs over them. If points are deducted, their chances in the title race seem bleak. Will we lose a contender for the championship?

That was almost 16 years ago and the FA still has to carry out a review? It's quite strange and maybe there will be accusations because this news was spread when Tottenham was a contender for the English Premier League title. Of course, if they received sanction in the case from a dozen years ago, it would be very detrimental to Tottenham, and if they received a point deduction, it wouldn't just be the team that was being in the top five will benefit, but Manchester United and several teams below will also rise in ranking.

I mean when is the time too late for something to be checked? If there was a proof, and I mean like literally a concrete proof, would they cancel a championship from 100 years ago? I think 16 years is long enough time that we should start to look the other way, it feels like it is not going to be all that shocking at all and we should not really be expecting them to change anything at this point. A punishment for something that is 16 years ago is not really a big deal, and should not be all that easy to handle.

I think it should be a point where we are going to end up with a deal where it is not that easy to handle one way or another. We need to handle it a different way and could be done in a situation that's a bit like "can we ignore it already".

When Manchester United signed the young striker I was not that comfortable with the signing not because the striker is not good enough, it is because he is young compared to the amount of money that he was signed with. Those kind of big signing is best for strikers that have played in the English Premier League.

Why who Hojlund is yet to adapt to the English Premier League pattern is because some players like Rashford has refused to help him get a goal, even Bruno Fernandes was supposed to have given him an assist to get a goal in the English Premier League. The young striker is not bad he has the champions league by scoring goals. Yet he is yet to replicate same in the English Premier League. He need the help of the squad as they do to Halland inManchester City

Hojlund actually has good ability when breaking into the opponent's goal, but the lack of support from midfielders means that he is not very developed, but he needs to adapt to the style of the English league because it is different here. Hojlund was not productive at all in the Premier League but was quite different when playing in the Champions League with the goals he scored. So I am quite optimistic that next season Hojlund will become one of the most dangerous strikers because if you look at his young age, it provides great opportunities for his career.

Manchester United's weakness in the previous few matches in the English league was that a number of players were very selfish and they did not provide passes even though Hojlund was standing freely in front of the opponent's goal. But as time went by things started to melt away, where Rashford, Garnaco and the captain looked a little more unified in their play.

[BIT-BENDER]

I think if Hojlund had gone to a team like Manchester city we would have seen his game at the top level, honestly as a striker Manchester united is a bad option because for a traditional striker to perform he needs to be feed more opportunities from his players but Manchester united can't provide those chances for Hojlund the way Erling Haaland is getting from his Manchester city players.
The type of attacker who has a chance in Manchester united is the likes of Kylian Mbappe who can also create chances for himself and has great pace to beat defense on his own, we have seen glimpse of what Hojlund can do so yes he is a fantastic player in the wrong team

[marcous]

Maybe this is also where Manchester United's weakness lies. The seniority and selfish attitudes that occur between fellow players make this squad very bad at working together. In fact, news about internal conflicts between fellow players during training also emerges most often from this club. In fact, if they can reduce their selfish attitude a little, this club will become a strong team, maybe even able to match Manchester City. Because Manchester United actually has no shortage of star players. It's just that this club really lacks chemistry between the players. All players are too eager to stand out alone.

I don't know, but what is certain is that Manchester United actually has very good potential if they can work together and not be selfish on the pitch.

I think what you say is right, what is happening now is the result of the selfish attitude of coaches and players, and maybe that why recently there was news that United wanted to recruit players like Griezman and Muller, maybe the aim was towards seniority in the dressing room and on the field. In fact a good attitude of cooperation must be started by Ten Hag, in fact up to now the coach is still arguing with Sancho, for me is ireally not exemplifying a leadership attitude.

It's not just Bruno, there are Hojlund and Mctominay who both put in good performances with their country. this could actually be a reference and lesson for Ten Hag, he could use this as a lesson to improve things for the better.

In terms of depth, Man United squad is considered good enough to compete in the EPL and UCL, but today we see the squad limping in these two competitions. in the end, they are always in the spotlight because of their poor performance, not because of their proud achievements like in the Ferguson era.

[alankasman]

Rashford, Antony, Bruno and all the players must find Rasmus Højlund in the game. But look at Manchester United's game today, Rashford wants to score goals, Bruno Fernandes too and that has really made this team seem to be playing for itself without thinking about the team's benefits. This is just what I noticed, but there are a lot of issues for Ten Hag to resolve that his team is currently experiencing.

What you notice in Manchester United's playing pattern is not much different from what other observers notice, even Man United fans also notice this situation in their favorite team.
Rashford and Bruno have similar characters in the team.
A number of other central midfielders owned by Erik ten Hag also have the same style of play. I think the turning point that Ten Hag has to work on is managing or balancing all of that, not bringing in other players.

In my opinion, if you have to force yourself to buy another player, don't buy a player with the same playing style as the one you already have.

When all players prioritize team achievements rather than personal achievements, unity and good performance can be expected. I saw that from Newcastle last season in the Premier League, while Girona was the La Liga team that was in the spotlight because of that. If all Manchester United players have this mindset, then I'm sure the team will get better from game to game.

Manchester City has made Haaland their mainstay center forward. He gets a lot of assists from his teammates and that has made Haaland and Manchester City win many titles last season. Ten Hag must imitate how Pep Guardiola manages the team and handles problems between players and controls the dressing room, if that is achieved then I believe Manchester United will be very competitive.

When Chelsea play against top clubs, they always have surprises and play better than when they play against bottom clubs, that's why this match against Newcastle will definitely be difficult to predict, looking at previous matches against Tottenham and Manchester City is enough to prove that they really play well. when facing a strong club that is at the top of the EPL standings.

Newcastle is no small team and while I don’t totally agree with playing at home being that much of an advantage, I can see Chelsea having a tough time trying to have a win over Newcastle playing on their home turf. 

At least, so far this season Chelsea has a trend with better results for away matches than home matches. Therefore, because at this moment it looks like Chelsea has a good trend for away matches, it is very likely that Chelsea will succeed for the third time in a row not to lose by a team that is in the upper zone in the Premier League standings at this moment. So ya, if Chelsea manage to beat Newcastle then of course, Chelsea will slowly get back closer and enter the competition in the top zone in the Premier League standings. If Chelsea succeed in the match aganist Newcastle later, then next Chelsea only need to maintain this good performance, so not to disappoint when playing against mediocre teams.

[rahmad2nd]

I think Manchester United were too hasty in signing Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta, especially as he only had 1 season there with 9 goals and 2 assists in 32 appearances in Serie A. Of course Ten Hag is aware of the talent Rasmus Højlund has as a center forward and he can be developed and become one of the best. However, the problem is, the high level of egoism of other Manchester United players has made it difficult for Rasmus Højlund to find himself in the Premier League.

Rasmus Højlund has so far scored 5 goals in 4 appearances in the Champions League with Manchester United. He hasn't scored a single goal in his 9 Premier League appearances, but if he really gets the support then I'm sure his performance this season will be very good. Just like Haaland, Rasmus Højlund just needs full support to help Manchester United get more goals.

I don't think that's actually the case, we also have to look at other aspects. Well, let's pull it back first. In fact, Ten Hag has established players and their target is Kane. Apart from that, there are several pure strikers who are linked with Manchester United. However, the problem that occurs is the fact that Manchester United has a limited budget for the players they are targeting. Ultimately, they have to bring in the players they are targeting as ideally as possible with the funds prepared by the club management.
in the previous post, I said that one of the Juventus strikers was on Ten Hag's radar. In fact, it is predicted that Osimhen will be brought to Old Trafford. Unfortunately, the FFP ban means they are limited in their movement. Plus, currently good strikers are quite difficult to find because they are already at home with their respective clubs. As for the ideal sticker, it has been priced at a fantastic transfer value. If I'm not mistaken, one of the Ajax players is also their target.

However, in the end Ten Hag chose Højlund even though he paid a high price too. It seems that Ten Hag feels that this player is quite ideal for him, apart from his young age, it seems that Ten Hag thinks that the player will have good progress in the future. However, I am very sure that the coach is fully aware that Rasmus Højlund is not a ready-to-use sticker. after all, they have Marcus Rashford. So, there was nothing wrong with Højlund being brought to Old Trafford in the end. Even so, the player has had a conversation with Ten Hag and it seems he is willing to work hard.
Too bad, well, like the last point you said, we have the same thoughts. If the striker brings full support from the United squad, he can make a good start to his debut in the Premier League.
Just imagine if he was able to score 5 out of 4 matches in the Champions League, why not in the English League. and there are no other words, Erik Ten Hag's squad is in an unpleasant situation. in other words, they have problems that must be resolved one by one. and Ten Hag was ready to start, rearranging the discipline of his players.

When Chelsea play against top clubs, they always have surprises and play better than when they play against bottom clubs, that's why this match against Newcastle will definitely be difficult to predict, looking at previous matches against Tottenham and Manchester City is enough to prove that they really play well. when facing a strong club that is at the top of the EPL standings.

It's surprising to me also to see Chelsea performing well when playing against strong clubs, and their performance is always dropping whenever they are playing against weak clubs. Performing poorly against weak teams has really affected them this season, they lost to clubs that they should have used to accumulate points. Chelsea have been playing draws against all the strong clubs that they have played against this season, and I am really impressed by that. Let's just hope Chelsea perform well in their next match against Newcastle. Chelsea should be able to win the match with the way they are playing currently. It'll be a tough match for the two clubs, but I still expect a win from Chelsea in the match.

Playing at home and as hosts, of course Newcastle also has high self-confidence playing in front of all their fans and winning is their goal against Chelsea to get full points so they can get a better position in the current standings, my prediction is that the result will probably be a draw because Chelsea will play optimally so as not to lose points because they will definitely have difficulty winning as a guest.

Chelsea really needs to win the match, and I am sure they will do everything to win the match, and I am sure Pochettino won't also play in the match. If Chelsea can win the match, they will be able to move up a little bit on the table, and I'm sure that's what Chelsea really needs now, their current position is kind of annoying. Newcastle will be at a great advantage because they are playing at home, but that can't stop Chelsea from winning the match, even if it is with just a little goal difference.

[Avirunes]

This weekend Chelsea faces Newcastle, and they deserves a win. However, Newcastle has proven to be a strong team. In their last meeting in the league cup back in 2010, Newcastle won a seven-goal thriller 4-3 against Chelsea. So, who will come out on top this time? Stats tell a story, but I don't like to rely on that. Things won't be the same as before this time. Chelsea seems to have been steadily improving, while injuries to Newcastle players make the match challenging for them. This time, Chelsea is coming for revenge, so Newcastle should be prepared. I hope Chelsea's players continue to improve their gameplay against Newcastle, which making it an exciting match to watch.

2010? You have gotten a long way back there buddy   . Anyway yeah Chelsea bs Newcastle is a tough one. Chelsea have just now found their form and have produced some good results by defeating Spurs with heavy margin and stalemate with City. Newcastle on other hand also are a strong team and Newcastle are the favourites going into the match. I would say Chelsea is not up for revenge, but more for being consistent back again. They have to prove to their fans who have been waiting for their team to be in form from a long time. I am not sure about who is gonna win but it sure is gonna be an interesting and thrilling match to watch.

He hasn't scored a single goal in his 9 Premier League appearances, but if he really gets the support then I'm sure his performance this season will be very good. Just like Haaland, Rasmus Højlund just needs full support to help Manchester United get more goals.

Maybe Erik Ten Hag saw talent while at Atalanta even though it was only 1 season with Atalanta but Erik Ten Hag has seen so far that even with injuries Højlund was signed by Manchester City and I don't doubt Højlund because he seems to have talent at a young age.

That is the selfishness of Manchester United players is still difficult for Erik Ten Hag to overcome even though we have known how other players do the same, but do not know what is in Ten Hag's mindset because he is still difficult to manage the squad that is still surrounded by other player problems such as Jadon Sancho.

I think Erik Ten Hag believes in Rashford more than Højlund, although my own assumption is that Højlund's game is better than the current Rashford, he has a selfishness and wants to control the ball to score but does not think about the chances of other players.

If the situation is like this, it is never effective at any time, high selfishness is a big problem in a team that requires cooperation in its game, this will be a thorn and all strategies will become messy and end with empty results.
Actually it doesn't matter whether or not a new player is coming, but if indeed the state of the team like that, of course anyone who is coming to Manchester United will be in vain and will not affect anything about the team, which basically needs to be changed by Ten Hag is disciplining again The players, it is the task and problem that must be resolved as soon as possible before the Manchester United team is far sinking under the standings.

If we say that Ten Hag is unable to control the players who are at Manchester United today, I think Manchester United needs to bring in a new coach instead of new players to discipline their players, to have good cooperation in building good soccer games.

[Zlantann]

At least, so far this season Chelsea has a trend with better results for away matches than home matches. Therefore, because at this moment it looks like Chelsea has a good trend for away matches, it is very likely that Chelsea will succeed for the third time in a row not to lose by a team that is in the upper zone in the Premier League standings at this moment. So ya, if Chelsea manage to beat Newcastle then of course, Chelsea will slowly get back closer and enter the competition in the top zone in the Premier League standings. If Chelsea succeed in the match aganist Newcastle later, then next Chelsea only need to maintain this good performance, so not to disappoint when playing against mediocre teams.

Chelsea's last three games have brought so much succour to the fans and management led by Todd Boehly. It seems the massive investment in Chelsea is gradually yielding some results. The club has proved that it could curtail the power of some top clubs in the EPL but there are still more hurdles to overcome. The club's next four games are also a test to prove how far the club has improved. The Blues will meet Newcastle, Brighton, Manchester United and the embattled Everton. If the club could have some good results in these games, it will be solid proof that the club is indeed back from its troubled days.
The club has lost some great opportunities to grab some points against some low-rated clubs but they still have the chance of recovering their lost grounds and it seems they are achieving by defeating top clubs in the EPL. With the possibility of Christopher Nkunku returning to the team the prospect of Chelsea winning these games is high.

In my opinion, if you have to force yourself to buy another player, don't buy a player with the same playing style as the one you already have.

Managing players who have a high level of egoism is very difficult, especially if the coach does not have a brilliant career to gain a lot of respect. Ten Hag came to the Premier League with his team's good performance in the Eredivisie, but he has not completely failed in managing the team because in his first season he was able to bring Manchester United qualified to the Champions League.

Ten Hag must win the dressing room because everything starts from there. Some of Manchester United's senior players look selfish in the game and actually this should be resolved rather than bringing in lots of new players. I agree that there are certainly some players who come and go, but improving the performance of existing players must be the focus at this time.

[Amphenomenon]

I think what is most important for Chelsea is that there is finally a discussion going on whether they can beat Newcastle or not. A few weeks and months ago Chelsea was not competitive anymore and they lost games that I thought can't be lost by them. But now they are good enough and back in shape to be a threat again for the good teams and I think this is fun again. Chelsea was disappointing like hell for so long and I gave them a few chances to watch a game from time to time, but stopped doing so. Now it is worth tuning in again. I think this is what is really great news.

I think we will be having a constant discussion about this now. After all we all knew Chelsea earlier this season were unlucky with goals but Thank God they are getting better hope they will continue like this.

I think Manchester United were too hasty in signing Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta, especially as he only had 1 season there with 9 goals and 2 assists in 32 appearances in Serie A. Of course Ten Hag is aware of the talent Rasmus Højlund has as a center forward and he can be developed and become one of the best. However, the problem is, the high level of egoism of other Manchester United players has made it difficult for Rasmus Højlund to find himself in the Premier League.

Wow his stat was this bad in his previous club and he was bought in a higher fee than Jackson who has a better stat relating to their previous club, man United literally loves over hyping players they bought which then usually flop.

Rasmus Højlund has so far scored 5 goals in 4 appearances in the Champions League with Manchester United. He hasn't scored a single goal in his 9 Premier League appearances, but if he really gets the support then I'm sure his performance this season will be very good. Just like Haaland, Rasmus Højlund just needs full support to help Manchester United get more goals.

Still in a nutshell he is still the best striker currently in Manchester United, Rashford who was the star player last season has been a shadow of himself again, Anthony and others there is nothing to say about them. Mount might have been the support they signed for him but he is far from that now. My question is why his Bruno not providing him more assist, we know he is pretty good at that

[borovichok]

Manchester united is in its transforming stage, it will take time before they will bounce back to winning ways because there's a whole of things to set by the coach and the players will have to abide by strict rules set. Erik Ten Hag have his own ego to float, we know him to be one of the tough coaches that have managed Manchester United and he's not going to relent when it comes to his duties as headcoach. He discipline his players accordingly and he share the exact same respect and commitment to all of them despite the high status of some players.

A very good point. Lot of things start from dressing room and it sometimes trying to discipline extremely might become bad as well and that is what I feel is going on at United. For a squad to play at top form they need to have full confidence in the coach and coach in turn also should try to listen to players as well. There is lot of players who are feeling discontent right now and ten Haag should do something as soon as possible to fix that.
