Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Richbased]

There will be a few key matches today, one of which is Aston Villa vs Man City... I think it will be no less interesting battle... Aston Villa are in great form now and can face Man City... I think they can even win... But if there is a draw, the gap between Arsenal and Man City will increase...

I am so bothered about the Chelsea vs Manchester United’s game, i am so confused and i still don’t know the booker to pick in this match. Yes Chelsea looks more stronger and are the favorites to win but again small teams they so inconsistent so I don’t if they will consider Man United a stronger opponent or a smaller one.  Manchester United on the other hand have been poor and have worse games when they play at home but i have noticed that when they face Chelsea they seem to become a strong side overnight. Chelsea have not won a match against Manchester United since their last 5 matches, they have only managed a couple of draws so i am thinking maybe this could also be a draw match.   I still Hope Chelsea’s can win though.

I don't think Chelsea will view Manchester United as a lesser opponent, regardless of how they lose form. Meanwhile, this will be a difficult game at Old Trafford but in my opinion, I believe Chelsea has a better chance of winning today's game because they hardly lose when they play against strong opponents. Manchester United performance is very poor this season because I still find it unbelievable that Manchester United lost their Champions League match against Galatasaray. Onana hasn't done much to help them win But the guy is good, he's just not been as lucky this season, but if they give him more time, I think he can improve.
So Chelsea will therefore have a better opportunity to take advantage of their opportunities against Man United and Onana, as everyone is aware of the Onana issues this season and also the team lack of consistency.

Exactly what i have in mind as well like Chelsea were not in form but yet they drew title contenders like Arsenal and Manchester city though Chelsea and Manchester united are almost in same form as their matches are unpredictable until after the end of their matches, sometimes you will give them odd to win less competitive clubs but they would lose or draw the matches like they are two clubs that is inconsistent because they can win their match this week then their next match they will just lose very unstable two clubs although they may settle for a draw in this match.

The way Manchester City were disappointed in their last match With Tottenham, I'm sure that they will not take any chances this time again, loook at Arsenal has given them space that they have to win atleast 2 matches to come in good place with Arsenal and they need above that to pass Arsenal but we know that while Manchester City is preparing to do that, Arsenal will have double that by the time Manchester City are coming closer. Aston Villa might be the home but I think Manchester City will dominate this match and most likely win it.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City last 5 encounters were 4 loss from Aston Villa, which means that Manchester City won the 4 matches and they draw 1 and not a single match that was won by Aston Villa even in the ones the played in the home match. This is nothing but great indication that Aston Villa are going to suffer another great loss tonight and if Tottenham try harder, they might come up a little bit.

Few days back, Manchester City were again held to a draw against Tottenham Hotspurs at the Etihad, it actually didn't seem encouraging and impressing because they're a better side to their opponent but football being unpredictable saw the ability and strength of Hotspur put to a test. For Hotspur it was a big feat as well as they as Chelsea have been able to suppress City. The City boys had an equal share of points which didn't and doesn't speak well for their position on the league table, although that doesn't necessarily mean that they do not have the ability to cover up the paces and differences because they're even more than capable to do so.

 They just have to put all in check and they still stand a huge chance at the trophy, tonight's game against Villa side is definitely a sure win for them and an additional 3 points is set to be secured. The host advantage will be in favor of the Villa side no doubt and definitely they've been doing well when they've had encounters with a few teams. I believe that they'd at least try to get a goal in their racket in tonight's game but which ever way, City's winning power is high.

[salad daging]

And the match will be held at Aston Villa's home ground at the Villa Park stadium, even though Manchester City are favored, Aston Villa will have the advantage because they will be playing in front of their supporters.

Aston Villa have an unbelievable record at home this season, so this game is going to be very difficult for City to win, to add to the difficulty, City will be missing both Rodri and Grealish to suspension, we are also not sure if Doku would be fit enough to play, he limped off against Spurs and we'd have to wait and see to lineup to know if he is fit and ready to play tonight.

City have to win and close to gap to Arsenal, Aston Villa want also want to win, so they can continue their incredible form at home and also climb above City, it is going to be such an entertaining game from a neutral point of view, but 3 points will be so important for either team.

The line is out and indeed Doku is not included in the match list tonight, maybe he is tired or has problems with his injury, but Manchester City still has a substitute that is quite reliable from my right and left filled by Foden and Silva, so their attack is still quite sharp.

However, the defensive midfielders are filled by two players Akanji and Stones to replace the suspended Rodri.

This is interesting... Both teams are in good form, only Manchester City are experiencing bad luck because they have to be held to a draw of 3x, this time it is clear that Manchester City are favored, I am sure this team will win, not forgetting that Aston Villa can play aggressively at home.

The hope is that Arsenal can improve and minimize the problems that occurred last season.
Arsenal are actually very good, it's just that the problem every season they remain the same where the increase and decrease in performance quickly always occurs.
Last season we know that they seemed to waste opportunities that were actually very wide open for them and now Arsenal still have the same hope that their performance in the middle and end of the season is not like the previous season.
But now Manchester City will also not stay him I think. his position has dropped 2 levels to position 3 because of 3 results that are not very satisfying so indeed in the match that occurs this week against Aston Villa it is likely that they will try their best for 3 points.

There is no easy match, even Arsenal themselves had to fight tooth and nail to beat Luton Town. Arsenal almost lost maximum points if the referee blew the whistle exactly in the sixth minute of injury time, but that didn't happen because Arsenal took advantage of the last seconds to build an attack and they managed to score a goal in just over a minute of injury time.

Not only Arsenal, all other teams are also struggling to win the match because each team needs points. Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester United are the same, so there is no exception to that. That is why every manager must be careful in rotating his players in each match, clearly this will affect the team's performance and game.

This is what makes the EPL even more interesting because there are always a lot of surprises that happen every week and even though we know that some big clubs can always dominate but the small clubs in the EPL also always provide extraordinary surprises including Luton who in yesterday match was outstanding even though they had to eventually still lose point but with the resistance they showed in this match deserves to be given praise.

Now we will see some of the matches that happened today and Liverpool is facing Sheffileld United. I look forward to another surprise because last week Liverpool also struggled against Fulham and hopefully Sehffield provides a good defense because for victory im still confident for Liverpool.

Aston Villa have an unbelievable record at home this season, so this game is going to be very difficult for City to win, to add to the difficulty, City will be missing both Rodri and Grealish to suspension, we are also not sure if Doku would be fit enough to play, he limped off against Spurs and we'd have to wait and see to lineup to know if he is fit and ready to play tonight.

City lined up without some of their key players again this season, the absence of Rodri is a very crucial moment for the team because he is one of the most important player in the team alongside Kevin De Bruyne who is injured since the beginning of the season, and seeing that Aston Villa under Uni Emrey has become a team that is competing for title and champions league spot unlike last season, they will want to use the opportunity of some missing players in the Manchester City’s squad to see if they can get three points or at least to share equal points in the match.

City have to win and close to gap to Arsenal, Aston Villa want also want to win, so they can continue their incredible form at home and also climb above City, it is going to be such an entertaining game from a neutral point of view, but 3 points will be so important for either team.

Aston Villa has won Chelsea and Tottenham this season, and seeing that they are the fourth in the premier league table, and are very incredibly in form especially while playing at home will like to maintain their performance and win or draw this match which is very possible because Manchester City team is not complete even though I know that they will not lose either becauthey also wants to close some gap between them and Arsenal.

I believe that the Citizens can succeed, but I think the team is tired. If it's a draw again, I won't be surprised. I have a feeling that Manchester City is not aiming to become EPL champions this season. Besides, Aston Villa is a difficult opponent for Man City, so it's better to bet on both teams to score.

Is it just me or there is an unwritten law that surprise results happen during the midweek games of Premier League.I see most games are not going as they are supposed to as I see Crystal Palace losing against a weak team like Bournemouth (of course Crystal Palace is not a big team) and Brighton is losing against Brentford so far in just 30 minutes of game play.

Let's see how the big games will end but I am sure surprise results will happen in both Manchester games and for United if they lose I would not be surprised at all considering their recent performance which leaves a lot to be desired from them.

[MinoRaiola]

I don't think Chelsea will view Manchester United as a lesser opponent, regardless of how they lose form. Meanwhile, this will be a difficult game at Old Trafford but in my opinion, I believe Chelsea has a better chance of winning today's game because they hardly lose when they play against strong opponents.

So Chelsea will therefore have a better opportunity to take advantage of their opportunities against Man United and Onana, as everyone is aware of the Onana issues this season and also the team lack of consistency.

The top match of the day kicks off in a few minutes. When you read these two names, you think they are ranked 1-3 in the premier league, but they are currently ranked 7 and 11... strange. I would say chelseas last 10 games have been better than manchester uniteds. Both teams play with only 1 striker and 3 offensive midfielders behind them. Although they play in manchester, i think chelsea are the better team, thats what also the odds say.

[RockBell]

In as much as luck was on Arsenal side they still played like a team who wants to win the English premier league. This is the type of spirit they need, although Luton gave them a run for their money Arsenal handled the storm like a champion. Now the pressure has now shifted back to Manchester city, they need to win to draw the gap between them and Arsenal. From a neutral point of view I would love to see Arsenal win because they have really invested so much in this.

would you say Arsenal is lucky? That is not true because Mr arsenal was putting maximum effort not to lose against Luton if you look at the whole thing, the way Arsenal was playing was different they were so focused and wanted to win at all costs and that is what champions do and now the whole thing is serious they arsenal is ready to earn they tittle all we need is to clear all the games we have this December and clubs I fear now is Liverpool. and January Arteta needs to feel in more space to get players that are better than saka and Gabriel Jesus and that is one of the strategies that Guardiola uses he always gets players that are better than his player so any time he needs to replace a player during a game there is noting to be scared of, but of the sincere truth everyone was impressed with arsenal performance yesterday and more to come. and a lot of people did not see this coming and that was what made me happy the most, arsenal does not need to be predictable.

[Onyeeze]

I think today match Chelsea and Manchester United is the most interested match, the place I'm now to watch the match  lot of arguments has being going on that Chelsea will lose the match against Manchester United and many others have being saying that the match will be draw, so I don't know your predictions concerning this two matches because the match is about to kickoff and many people is still contemplating that Manchester United is going to defeat Chelsea so on your observation what do you think that will be Chelsea deficiency that will make Manchester to defeat them, or what do you think that will make Chelsea to them, so what is the fault you notice in Chelsea or Manchester, or do you think is going to be draw.

From a neutral point of view I would love to see Arsenal win because they have really invested so much in this.

If not even because the gunners have instead so much this season then for the fact they Manchester city have won the league back to back and them winning the league wouldn't be interested anymore as they would make it looks so less competitive just like some league where only one wins everything and everything, and also plus the fact that arsenal deserve the last season trophy but since injury affected their team they felt out of luck and loses their focus and that's why most English premier league fans are all wishing for another team even if not arsenal to win the league.

Majority people are seriously  in support of Arsenal to win the league. Not necessarily Arsenal, but any other club that can be able to outplay Manchester City. Honestly I will not be happy with England football as a whole if Manchester city happens to win this season English premier League again. While I am very confident that another team could win the Premier League title of this year is  because, it is not only Arsenal that is ahead of Manchester city or contesting with them. There is also Liverpool who we all know is a major competitor of Manchester city. And I believe that it is them that can fight this to the end.

[Issa56]

I think today match Chelsea and Manchester United is the most interested match, the place I'm now to watch the match  lot of arguments has being going on that Chelsea will lose the match against Manchester United and many others have being saying that the match will be draw,

Seriously, the match will be an interesting one, but the match will be kind of difficult to predict from the way the two clubs have not really been consistent. I am not expecting a draw from the match, am expecting a win from one team, the match will be a difficult one for the two clubs, but let's see if Chelsea will be able to win the match. Chelsea have not been consistent, but I still see Chelsea as a better team than Manchester United. The match has just started, so let's see how the two clubs will perform in the first half of the match.

[Falconer]

Manchester United vs Chelsea

👹 Man Utd XI: Onana, Dalot, Lindelöf, Maguire, Shaw, Amrabat, McTominay, Fernandes, Antony, Garnacho, Højlund.

🔵 Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Cucurella, Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Sterling, Fernandez, Caicedo, Mudryk, Palmer, Jackson.

Manchester United's line up looks good this time, especially because Ten Hag is very confident in leaving Rashford on the bench. Antony, Garnacho, Højlund must be able to repay Ten Hag's trust in this match by playing their best game. This match will be exciting because both teams are currently very inconsistent regarding match results, but Chelsea seems to be superior to Manchester United.

It's hard to guess who will win this match, but I hope Manchester United doesn't play badly and of course winning is the target that must be achieved today. Amrabat and McTominay are expected to ensure stability in the midfield, while Bruno Fernandez must be able to support a more prominent attack until the end of the match. Højlund is yet to score in the Premier League, so I hope he does so this time against Chelsea.

Aston villa vs Manchester City

🦁 Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Konsa, Carlos, Pau Torres, Digne, McGinn, Kamara, Douglas Luiz, Tielemans, Bailey, Watkins.

⚪ Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Stones, Lewis, Foden, Bernardo, Alvarez, Haaland.

Manchester City lost several of their main players in this match, but they are not in doubt. Manchester City will most likely win this match, but let's see what will happen after the 3-3 drama against Tottenham a few days ago.

[Roseline492]

Now we will see some of the matches that happened today and Liverpool is facing Sheffileld United. I look forward to another surprise because last week Liverpool also struggled against Fulham and hopefully Sehffield provides a good defense because for victory im still confident for Liverpool.
 

Yeah the match is a bit tough for the both clubs but however Liverpool is currently leading with one goal they scored on 37 minutes of the match, but however the performance of Liverpool on this match is far better than Sheffield United because Liverpool has been the one dominating since the beginning of the first half and however if you check there possession Liverpool has 79 percent of possession while Sheffield United is just only 21 percent of possession which is very poor. So I believe that there will be more goals when they come back second half because is quite obvious that Liverpool is well prepared for Sheffield United today.

[Docnaster]

The Manchester United has a good formation tonight and I love the idea that Rashford was kept on bench. I think he made a big decision in tonight game and on the first 5mins, Manchester United is making brilliant attacks and I feel they can maintain the momentum

I think today match Chelsea and Manchester United is the most interested match, the place I'm now to watch the match  lot of arguments has being going on that Chelsea will lose the match against Manchester United and many others have being saying that the match will be draw, so I don't know your predictions concerning this two matches because the match is about to kickoff and many people is still contemplating that Manchester United is going to defeat Chelsea so on your observation what do you think that will be Chelsea deficiency that will make Manchester to defeat them, or what do you think that will make Chelsea to them, so what is the fault you notice in Chelsea or Manchester, or do you think is going to be draw.

The match between Manchester United and Chelsea is always interesting. And another remarkable thing is that some young boys know how to make fame through Manchester United and Chelsea. It is Manchester United and Chelsea FC match that gave Rashford the timeline popularity he had while growing up.

Chelsea and Man United continue to alternate different results, these teams have wins, losses, and also draws. I can't say that one team is stronger than the other. They both have more to work on this season. I think the best outcome of the match for these rivals will be a draw with more goals.

[letteredhub]

And the match will be held at Aston Villa's home ground at the Villa Park stadium, even though Manchester City are favored, Aston Villa will have the advantage because they will be playing in front of their supporters.

I have a feeling that Manchester City is not aiming to become EPL champions this season. Besides, Aston Villa is a difficult opponent for Man City, so it's better to bet on both teams to score.

Manchester City have been a bit of unlucky with their games and not that they don't aim in winning the EPL championship this season, it is something about City it's always like this but when it's few games to the end of the season you see them on fire something similar last season when they stole the championship from Arsenal. I am of the positive that City is going to win Aston villa tonight though not that so easy but they won't be denied of the three points tonight.

[Iroh]

Seriously, the match will be an interesting one, but the match will be kind of difficult to predict from the way the two clubs have not really been consistent. I am not expecting a draw from the match, am expecting a win from one team, the match will be a difficult one for the two clubs, but let's see if Chelsea will be able to win the match. Chelsea have not been consistent, but I still see Chelsea as a better team than Manchester United. The match has just started, so let's see how the two clubs will perform in the first half of the match.

So far, Manchester United seems to be the team that’s pressing ahead in hopes for a goal. They’ve had a good start and some good chances as well to score goals. If they keep at it and don’t relent on the pressure, they’re sure to score and I think a goal isn’t far ahead.
Manchester United had been given a penalty and was saved by Chelsea’s goalie, Sanchez. This was United’s first good chance of scoring a goal and coming in front in this game and with Bruno Fernandes missing the penalty kick, they’ve thrown the chance away.

[Huppercase]

would you say Arsenal is lucky? That is not true because Mr arsenal was putting maximum effort not to lose against Luton if you look at the whole thing, the way Arsenal was playing was different they were so focused and wanted to win at all costs and that is what champions do and now the whole thing is serious they arsenal is ready to earn they tittle all we need is to clear all the games we have this December and clubs I fear now is Liverpool. and January Arteta needs to feel in more space to get players that are better than saka and Gabriel Jesus and that is one of the strategies that Guardiola uses he always gets players that are better than his player so any time he needs to replace a player during a game there is noting to be scared of, but of the sincere truth everyone was impressed with arsenal performance yesterday and more to come. and a lot of people did not see this coming and that was what made me happy the most, arsenal does not need to be predictable.

I think Arsenal should be considered lucky in their match against Luton Town. When Rob Edward as interviewed in after that match, he said he was warned how classy and was even looking for a way to find a balance when Arsenal lead with 3 goals to 2 and he didn't even know how his boys manage to equalized so fast and as soon he noticed they equalized, he started making substitutions in the end but Rice destroyed that golden moment they were about to end with Arsenal.

Arsenal is classy but the more I tried to downrate Manchester City, the more I also fear them because they are good, great chance creators and they have good skills, anything you want in that club is completed within the players. I want to see Arsenal in the top but it was same last season Arsenal lead the table.with 11 points but Manchester City came and removed them from the standing, as we progress I don't want to see that disappointment anymore.
