Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[flyingcarpet]

I don't understand why Newcastle waste so much energy in the games before the Champions League... Last time they beat Man U in the League Cup 0 - 3, after that they played badly against Dortmund... Today they scored four goals against Chelsea, but their next game will be against PSG...

Maybe that's the plan of Newcastle's squad makers. That's why they want to play at the highest level in every match. This is how the best clubs in the world play and win. I think the problem here is not that Newcastle are playing with full energy. The real problem is Newcastle's inexperience in the Champions League.

This lack of experience will disappear as time goes on and Newcastle will start qualifying for the Champions League again and again. I think the squad will be formed to play at the highest level in every match. Therefore, you cannot think of resting some players, especially in this match against Chelsea. This game was against Chelsea and Newcastle wanted to win.

I wasn't surprised to see Manchester City losing points against Liverpool today honestly. Because they were really inadequate when it comes to finishing today. I mean they could have scored more than one goal easily if they were more accurate. I can't blame Haaland for that because he scored a goal already. They wasted many goal opportunities.

Maybe it wasn't best performance for Liverpool players but they still got what they wanted. Trent scored a brilliant goal honestly. Sometimes his shots can be really deadly for any goalkeeper against him.

Brentford have a very tight defense, that has been very hard to penetrate by the Arsenal players, Arsenal where able to score a goal, but it was cancelled as an offside, it was a very close call. Arsenal has to give thanks too because they did not concede even with the mistakes from their goalkeeper Ramsdale who was given a chance today. Arsenal needs to win this game, so I expect a more serious approach in the second half after seeing how well Brentford defended in the first half.

The match has actually ended the way I predicted, although Brighton performance was actually impressive especially there defense that was given Arsenal tough time to break and at last they manages to break it and win Brighton 1-0.

Manchester City has really messed up on there match today's against Liverpool, there inability to win Liverpool has cost them there position on the premier League table by dropping down to second position. However Arteta plans are really come to play because for Arsenal to have entered the first position on the premier League they will try all possible best in other not lose any matches because they wouldn't like to repeat there last season mistake that cost them the premier league trophy.

Kevin de Bruyne's absence is so noticeable. City couldn't make good use of the gaps Liverpool gave, as you can see, they usually attacked from the wing with Doku. I don't think Liverpool would have had much of a chance if de Bruyne was in this game, but it's still hard to get points here with or without de Bruyne. City often failed to prevent Liverpool's attacks when they lost the ball. Defensive weaknesses were more prevalent in both teams than in previous seasons.

This is really good news if Pochettino can finally find his rhythm at Chelsea and can bring Chelsea to be better and better. Because after all, we seem to have lost the old Chelsea, ..

Pochettino is definitely going to take advantage of the situation with Newcastle to make sure he gets the complete three points by the end of the match, if it turns out Chelsea wins this match against Newcastle i think it will be the genesis of their wins and and journey to the top.

It turns out it's not that easy to believe in Chelsea. ha ha
I think that Chelsea can really change and also play optimally because the last two matches were quite good. But this time, they really failed. Due to a situation like that, with Newcastle's condition being quite down, it turns out that Pochettino has not been able to bring Chelsea to win against Newcastle. Moreover, they lost badly 1 - 4 for Newcastle to win. This was a really bad result for Chelsea. They also got 1 red card.

On the other hand, Arsenal were finally able to become top of the standings in the EPL after Man City again only got a draw against Liverpool.

[MinoRaiola]

Unfortunately, you are right. Because Manchester City could not secure full points at home against Liverpool, although they led in the first half but unfortunately Liverpool were able to equal the score in the second half. Arsenal lucky this week, they can took advantage of this momentum by beating Brentford. Although they also had struggled in this match as you said and only got one score, but at least in the end they can got three points and take over City position on top for awhile.

I wouldnt thought that, a draw. But Liverpool fight hard for it, now the championship is exciting again. Arsenal have more luck in the battle of the two and win the game in Brentford by 1 or. I have just seen that Liverpool play Arsenal on December 23rd, which is another top game the day before Christmas.

A great picture of the City fans and Alexander-Arnold after the goal for 1:1

The match between arsenal and Brentford, when the match kicked off what I have in mind is that arsenal will win a Brentford with at least two goals but the match changes direction and description the way I see the match, for the first all the arsenal fans lose a hope that Brentford will draw the match due to the performance of arsenal from the starting, even the goal keeper of arsenal made a two times mistake in which I think that maybe Brentford would have utililize such opportunity in the first half to score arsenal,  but I notice that Brentford was playing the match with fear, so even after the first half, it's when arsenal started improving which made them to defeated Brentford 1: 0,  but my taught is that arsenal will score for the first half  before the match kicked off.

With Arsenal's current form, I also expect Arsenal to win the match with many goals, despite knowing that Brentford was back in form after losing some matches before winning three in a row. Arsenal really played well despite Brentford, but the truth is that Arsenal showed more effort than Brentford, and that is why the lucky shined on them even though the match was about to end. Even though Arsenal did not win the game with more goals, I am very happy for them because what matters most is three points, and that is what they have gotten.

I was not expecting this match to end like this even though Chelsea was going to lose to Newcastle United. The return of Isak was really a huge one for them because he came and strengthened the attack more for them and scored the opening goal of the game.
Chelsea are still yet to continue their good form, they switch form after every match and this will really affect them a lot going forward. They are in the time of the season that they have to pick up now and gather plenty points that will give them a good position in the standings.

Chelsea performances against Tottenham and Manchester City also make me believe they win the game today, or if Chelsea was not lucky to win, they will draw the match, but seriously, Newcastle won with many goals, which was something I never expected before the game started. With the set quality players that Chelsea have, I don't expect they should be suffering like this when playing any team season because I believe Chelsea have the qualities, but I don't know why they are not performing well despite their squad, in fact,  many teams that are doing better than Chelsea don't even have quality players like Chelsea.

There was no winner in the City-Liverpool match. In the first half there were not many scoring positions but City managed to score. The second half was more lively, but despite City finding the positions, Liverpool scored and equalized.
Arsenal, on the other hand, won away to Brentford and took the lead. I can say that Arsenal struggled in this match. In an exciting match until the last minute, Arsenal won with Havertz's goal in the 89th minute and increased their points to 30.

Until the first half when I saw Haaland scoring a goal for his team, I was thinking we were going to see an amazing performance from Manchester City and I expected to see Liverpool losing this game easily but the goal they scored in the last minutes of the game, save the team because this match was important for Liverpool considering the current situation they have in the Premier League table.

Yes, the match ends with a draw result. Man City and Liverpool have done their best in the match, they did what they can to get points. If we look at the stats, Man City actually deserves to win the match but a draw seems a quite fair result for me. With a draw result, the point gap among the top 3 in EPL standings is very small. So, the competition for the title will be tighter. I hope Tottenham to win the next match. If Tottenham wins the match against Aston Villa, they will overtake Liverpool position in the 3rd place.

Arsenal won the match with a single goal. Havertz's goal secure 3 points for Arsenal today. In EPL, it seems Gabriel Jesus gets difficulty to play in his best form this season. He already played 8 matches but he only could score 1 goal. It is very different from his performance in  the last season. Gabriel Jesus only can play well in UCL so far.

I was surprised with Chelsea's performance today i was expecting something better from them against Newcastle but it was a disappointment as usual, watching how they play against Manchester City everybody's spirit was high just watching the way they play, now this Chelsea fans left in disgust and are disappointed. A. Gordon was really active in this game and gave Newcastle a well played game he gave one assist one goal. Of it you talking about the man down Newcastle has already scored 3 goals already so the one down was around 73 minutes.  And maybe they under estimated  Newcastle they have forgotten you don't joke with Newcastle and Newcastle always make it to top 5 so them winning is not surprising after all. That is football strategy might fail and might be used against you by the opponent.

The first half of the game, Chelsea didn’t play so bad and they tried to equalize on the first goal Newcastle had in the first half keeping the hopes of their supporters alive.
It all came crashing down in the second half as Newcastle came alive, dominating the game and stepping up the pressure and got 3 more goals. I too had looked back on the game they had with Manchester City and hoped to see Chelsea play some good football.

Concerning the red card gotten by Chelsea, it probably wouldn’t have made any difference if James didn’t pick up the red card and had to go off the pitch. The pressure was mounting and Chelsea couldn’t hold them back.

The fighting spirit of Luton Town is truly incredible, despite having such a small budget to spend in the transfer window, the manager of Luton Town are still able to create quite a few surprising results so far with such a small squad of players at his disposal as they had managed to beat Crystal Palace today. It would be interesting to see how many points will Luton Town be able to earn at the end of this season.

[QueenVera]

A trip that might be quite good for Chelsea if they can win the match against Newcastle United because this match is an away match and Chelsea previously managed to hold off Manchester City and also beat Tottenham. So if Chelsea manages to get 3 points at home to Newcastle United then Pochettino will be highly praised by Chelsea fans because he has succeeded in bringing about significant changes in the several matches they have played. I see that Chelsea is quite superior in this match, especially since they have good enough capital to face Newcastle United.

So, if Chelsea manages to get 3 points, I think they will be closer to the top 4, therefore Chelsea cannot afford to lose points in this match. Newcastle United is experiencing a downward trend this season where in their previous match they were defeated by Bournemouth and in the match against Chelsea I think they will find it difficult to recover from their defeat. So for this match I think Chelsea can take advantage of Newcastle United weakness because if Chelsea can score early they will be superior enough to secure 3 points.

Chelsea’s trip to Newcastle should've been a very nice encounter for them as they’re coming from a 4-4 draw to Manchester City. They seemed really favorites for the match and when they get all 3 points I think that’ll be more than what the fans need because the joy will be so glaring to behold, Newcastle United are having some injury worries but with the Chelsea squad I’ve seen of recent they should be giving Newcastle some troubles from the midfield down to their defense line.  

 However they tried their best but it wasn't enough Chelsea should've come out top of this encounter not just for the top 4 race but also for the fans as that’s what’s needed by the fans to close in on the gap for European Competition next season,  but they allowed Newcastle beat them with an embarrassing scoreline and they dropped in the standings.

Full time...
Brentford 0 - 1 Arsenal (goal scored by Havertz 89')
Impressive play from Brentford, who almost took the lead in the 77th minute, but Arsenal's player managed to save the ball. I thought in the final minutes, Arsenal would go on the offensive by refreshing their attacking line, and the result was truly positive. Havertz, who came in at the 80th minute, maximized a lobbed pass and secured Arsenal's lead.

I still believe in Arteta and his strategy, although it took a long time until the end of the game to score the decisive goal. Congratulations, Arsenal.

Arsenal should have won the game by two goals had Leandro Trossard's goal in the 44' hadn't been chopped off for offside. They played well, given that Brentford didn't give them breathing space as every pass and counter was being blocked by the Bees, even Saka wasn't given the opportunity to shine.
 If there's one thing I'd advise Arteta is that he should discourage the idea of building from the back as his team has not yet mastered that technique. It almost cost them an early goal when Ramsdale made that blunder but was lucky to have Rice as a substitute keeper for that.
Honestly, that goal scored by Havertz is really a morale booster and a timely one at that else they would have drawn the game and remained in their third spot.
 200 games and 116 wins for Arteta since becoming coach of Arsenal and for me, that's an impressive record but I feel he'd be more recognized if he leads his team to carrying the league by the end of the season.

[Stable090]

I don't understand why Newcastle waste so much energy in the games before the Champions League... Last time they beat Man U in the League Cup 0 - 3, after that they played badly against Dortmund... Today they scored four goals against Chelsea, but their next game will be against PSG...

Newcastle had the opportunity, and they utilised it well. I blame Chelsea for conceding so many goals, Newcastle performed well in the match, and they really deserve the win, but we don’t know how their performance will be in their next match against PSG. I just hope they will be able to perform well and win the match, but it will be difficult for Newcastle to win PSG. Let’s just hope PSG won’t end up humiliating them the same way Newcastle humiliated Chelsea in today's match. Newcastle's performance hasn’t really been good in the Champions League, or maybe they are in a difficult group. That’s why everything looks like they are performing poorly.

Even the Premier League had good chance for the Manchester City and Manchester United had huge chance of winning the game,the Arsenal had the second chance to win the league and make some chance to go to the final of this league.This was the expected result by the fans of the football community.Because the game was one sided one,after scoring the first goal in the game,the Arsenal F.C had move to the defensive game.Eventhough the Brentford try to score the first goal for the draw,the Arsenal never allowed them to score by the strong defensive match in this league.Kai Havertz made the goal and made this match the easy win for the Arsenal.The both team try to score the first goal but only possible to the Arsenal F.C.

I mean they could have scored more than one goal easily if they were more accurate. I can't blame Haaland for that because he scored a goal already. They wasted many goal opportunities.

In my opinion, there are other things that made Man City fail to get full points in this match. Yes, apart from finishing, Man City without KDB is like an ordinary team that is good at passing but has no vision. Maybe if there was KDB in this game, Haaland would find it easy to score goals. But this draw is good for both teams, making the EPL league competition even tighter.

Maybe it wasn't best performance for Liverpool players but they still got what they wanted. Trent scored a brilliant goal honestly. Sometimes his shots can be really deadly for any goalkeeper against him.

Liverpool in this league really showed their best performance. In my opinion, only Klopp is really a competitor to Pep Guardiola in the Premier League. It's just that Pep is a little luckier because all the players he is targeting can be bought. Meanwhile, Klopp, that's how it is.

This wasn't Liverpool's finest performance. We have had better performances but today's own was enough to get the job done and that was to get the bare minimum if we can't get maximum game from the fixture. Everybody knew it wouldn't be an easy feat to goto Etihad stadium and get all 3 points from Guardiola's men even without KDB playing.

My expectations will be higher when Liverpool hold city at Anfield later this season

I wouldn't particularly call the game easy for Arsenal because you could see they were literally held to a draw in the first half and even Trossard's goal had stood, they would have found it difficult to beat Brentford. Another thing I've noticed about the Gunners is they find it difficult to shoot from outside of the eighteen yard box and that's something that would have come in handy for them since Brentford was too tight you can't break through to score and that's what I miss Thomas Partey for. When you shoot from outside, it becomes difficult for the opponents to defend and you'd see them making mistakes because you are not only pushing into their defenses, you are trying from outside to break their walls and that's what Arsenal lacked and still lack.

Yeah this is a big match between the top 1-2 so there's no need to be surprised if the two teams draw, overall Manchester City played better and controlled the match but don't forget that their opponent is Liverpool, one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, we often see how Liverpool plays against strong teams no matter whether they are playing at home or away. What surprised me was Newcastle who managed to beat Chelsea with a big score 4-1 even though at first I thought both teams would play aggressively but it turned out that Newcastle was able to take advantage of the situation.

In other matches, Arsenal managed to win and take over the standings there was a shift in the standings and I think Arsenal will be there for a few weeks because Arsenal will face easier opponents in the next few weeks until December 24, Arsenal will face Liverpool well, in this match maybe Arsenal will lose points because Liverpool is playing at home and Liverpool might take over the standings.

[youdacapt]

 
I think the game is open to be won by either of Chelsea and Newcastle United. While Chelsea are knownn to be an inconsistent team and poor in front of goal; this season Newcastle United has also been inconsistent and injury ravaged which is enough reason to help gamblers understand its either any team wins or a draw ensues

Personally, i think Chelsea will win the tie, they are in good spirits and better form as well.

There is one truth about football and that truth is that in a game of 90 minutes there is no assurance that team A or team B will win. Manchester city vs Liverpool is a big big tie and one that is judged usually by tiny margins; it could be a draw, it could be a win for either teams. With injuries and poor form; i would say Liverpool have an advantage to win this tie ahead of Manchester city. A 2-1 victory for the merseysides club.

What do you say ?

Its an incredible week this weekend; i was fair in my assessment haha. Liverpool draw with Manchester city is well expected due to injuries and poor form; while Newcastle united thumped and dealt wth the Chelsea team mercilessly as well in a 4-1 victory.

The EPL is open, who do you tip to win?
do you think Pochetino is doing a good job? How will you judge var inconsistency in the league?

What are your thoughts?

[TopT3ns]

Unfortunately, you are right. Because Manchester City could not secure full points at home against Liverpool, although they led in the first half but unfortunately Liverpool were able to equal the score in the second half. Arsenal lucky this week, they can took advantage of this momentum by beating Brentford. Although they also had struggled in this match as you said and only got one score, but at least in the end they can got three points and take over City position on top for awhile.
In other matches, I don't believe with the result of the match Newcastle vs Chelsea. Previously Chelsea were so convincing because they could get one point from City, but today they can be beaten very bad.

Manchester City was good in the first half because they managed to score a goal from Erling Haaland's kick, but when in the final minute Manchester City's defense seemed weak and Liverpool realized that, Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity to score a goal and in the end gave a draw. Manchester City at least had tried hard to maintain their defense. And finally, Arsenal reached the top of the standings because Manchester City failed to win the match against Liverpool.
