Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Luzin]

Chelsea seem to be closer to getting a win here. Because Arsenal have big problems on their attacking line. As Lacazette and Aubameyang are still injured, Balogun is playing as CF. And he is not that good player I'm afraid. And their defense line is also bad now. They made many simple mistakes against Brentford. And I expect these mistakes to continue here also. Tuchel's Chelsea shouldn't have too much problem to defeat Arsenal while they are vulnerable.

Arsenal is not as strong as it used to be. Chelsea should have won. It looks like Romero Lukaku will make his Chelsea debut this time. But I heard that Ngolo Kante, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are not available. They are currently recovering from injuries. But I think chelsea should be able to win against Arsenal.

According to the Stats, since January 2020, they have played 5 matches ; Arsenal won 3 while Chelsea won just the last match. The difference in goals was always 1 goal for all the games.
The specifity for this time is that Arsenal will have six players not able to play ; 4 for injury and two for illness. Which is a great luck for Chelsea to not facing a lot of difficulties to win.
Personally, i am in the Arsenal side wishing it can do a miracle. But i can't deny that it is a hard task tough .

Arsenal is not as strong as it used to be. Chelsea should have won.

With Arsenal, in past several seasons, the question is not how strong they are but how weak and unstable they are in performance. They spend more money for transfers since Metsut Ozeil and they actually made some good transfers like Aubameyang, Lacazette but one or two players are not enough to carry the team.

It looks like Romero Lukaku will make his Chelsea debut this time. But I heard that Ngolo Kante, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are not available. They are currently recovering from injuries. But I think chelsea should be able to win against Arsenal.

Drogba brought lot of nightmare to Arsenal so how about Lukaku whom is called as Drogba version 2.0? Chelsea have very good attacking tactics and Lukaku are strong with his muscular body and with his sensitivity in front of goals, I think Arsenal will face many troubles.

It's fair to give Chelsea the role of the favorite in this match. They are in very good form, solid defensively, and Lukaku's addition seems to be like the missing piece to complete the "perfect" team puzzle. Still is too early for any team and we shouldn't exclude Arsenal. Of course, Arsenal needs more than luck to become competitive and be among the contenders. I just hope to see their mistakes before it's too late for them.

It is not a big match anymore with the degradation of Arsenal. The clash now is like between a giant and medium team. I am sorry to say it with Arsenal fans but it is fact. Surprise is always part of football but I don't believe that Arsenal will end this clash with 1 or 3 points.

I know Arsenal have not been good lately considering their mistakes at the back,but I believe in one thing,and that is history.It is history that made Bayern win Dortmund even when Bayern is not inform,and Dortmund is in their highest form.Arsenal have always had a way of winning Chelsea whether inform or not inform.Despite the fact that Arsenal may be using their young players to play,I still see that Chelsea will strougle to beat them.It won't be as easy as people think, just because brendfort  won them doesn't mean Chelsea will win them just like that too.

What is clear for now Harry Kane must be feeling frustrated. When he wanted to move (because his team didn't get the title) but Tottenham seemed to complicate the process. Although Man City has not withdrawn their offer, I think Man City will give up and will definitely withdraw their offer if the bidding process still does not run smoothly.

It seemed like he was being forced to stay there. I'm not sure he will play like last year. His heart is no longer with Tottenham. He wanted to leave, he wanted to win and it was fitting that Tottenham let him go. Complicated matters, I think he could go crazy there because of this matter.

Honestly, I don’t see Harry Kane departing Tottenham anytime soon. Levy hasn’t made any replacement plan for Harry, so he can’t say yes regardless of the amount brought by Manchester city. No doubt, Harry has been Manchester city’s Number one target for a while now but the deal is still far from happening and nothing has been resultful. I don’t see Manchester city giving up on the pursuit of Harry Kane. Maybe this season maybe next season, but age is no longer on his side, so once he doesn’t move this year, then Harry Kane remains in Tottenham. I understand he hasn’t been training with the team and all that, but the manager has not come out to give any official statement regarding his departure.

Tottenham has no plans to release Harry Kane at the moment. If they wanted Kane to leave, they would have already selected the right player to replace Kane. They did not do that. They are not signing any deals with Manchester City. Harry Kane will be at Tottenham this season. But next season we might see Kane in Manchester City.

This is the same thing I was discussing with few friends. Lewy is not ready to allow Him Harry Kane leave now to man city, even though man city have not given up on him yet. The deadline for transfer is about 10 days from now and Levy hasn’t said anything concerning replacement. Not forgetting the fact that Harry Kane is 28 years old now and has 3years remaining on his contract, if he’s doesn’t leave this season, he’ll definitely turn 30 before leaving and I doubt he’ll be worth anything close to £40m. I think Levy should allow him leave for this €150m while he focuses on getting a new striker before the window closes.

Chelsea shouldn't underrate Arsenal in their next encounter, Arsenal had always been a big challenge to them and can prove to be unbeaten in the match, although they might had started EPL this season poorly with a loss against Brentford, however they would surely up their game against Chelsea after all they defeated Chelsea both  home and away last season, even fielding a not too formidable squad are always a big threat to Chelsea, they once drew Chelsea when David Luis was redcarded in season before last, a popular Bbcsport soccer pundit Lawro predicted a drew Link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58223296 Arteta will try to avoid losing two consecutive matches.

That may or may not happen. If Harry Kane's performances continue to shine, it's not only Man City who will try to sign him, I think many other big clubs will also be interested to sign him. But if Harry Kane's form slumps then the selling price will go down and if Tottenham sticks with their high price, then Harry Kane will find it difficult to leave Tottenham.

In addition, there is also a possibility that Man City will buy another world-class striker, so Man City may not need Harry Kane anymore.

Yes in fact Arsenal play at home, possibly will fight hard to make fans happy. Aubameyang is still treatment covid-19 with Lacazette, Willian, and Runarsson, it doesn't have many chances for Arsenal. they only have supporters atm. but as you said, this football, possibly Arsenal creates a big surprise for many goals because. And on the other hand, Chelsea still has a player which didn't have fit atm, Ziyec, Pulisic, and Kante. One thing that makes me was interested in this game is Lukaku, I hope the purchase is not in vain.

They aren't actually otherwise Spurs wouldn't have much problem in selling Kane to clubs in other league. The fact that City is in same league as them, they are trying hard to get for Kane transfer. City are preparing a bid but lets see if that whether hits the bid mark they are expecting or still want to play it a bit hard.

City are interested in Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic and are ready to bid around 80m whom they see as an alternate transfer target for Harry Kane.

You expect a team that hasn't gotten the link between themselves on the pitch to break this Chelsea team with one of the best defense presently, with Kante back, Hakim Ziyech,as well the arrival of Lukaku will cause more harm Arsenal defense.
The Gunner's are without Lacazzette, Aubameyang,Nketiah as well Thomas Partey all out for this game.
Although this is a London derby,we know how it gets hard for both teams when they meet themselves here.
It probably gonna be a win or draw for Chelsea.

Southampton - Manchester United should be one of the delightful matches of the week I think. Manchester United crushed Leeds and moved on. Southampton were defeated by Everton. Despite being an away match, I expect Manchester United to beat their opponent. But maybe it can be a little hard for them as they hardly beat Southampton here 3-2 in the last season. They made a comeback from 2-0 back then.

This won't be as hard as it seems, take a look at the squad Manchester United have got there....you would see how eager they're down for this EPL, taking every game one step at a time.
Southampton will be destroyed on Sunday , They'll be going for a clean sheet this time around.

[leea-1334]

Haha really? I did not even realize that,,, my best memory is still Moura and Son ripping them apart in Champions League. I still feel painful memories from the final after that that we lost meekly but the semi was so worth it. Nuno is a good tactician but more importantly is how he will manage a squad who is for sure not in the best of morale.

What I said was not true. Kane did played in most of the last H2H against City guess I relayed a false info. (*My bad*) Anyway regarding Nuno I think he is a great manager, somehow I find him similar to Pochetinno who doesn't have much recognition but have played a great part into building teams wherever they managed. I think he will manage Spurs quite well .. atleast better than Mourinho.

Haha no worries as I said plenty of times even watching Spurs for years I honestly cannot remember much in between the best games and memories (and the worse) but in my mind Kane is always missing for about 25% of every season, while lately Son is almost playing every game,,, and with his contract extended for 5 more years I believe he will surely retire at our team.

Nuno better than Mourinho I can agree as team management. Results is something else though:)

Kane might get supported from Atletico Madrid or Juventus if Manchester City can sell one or two players to one of these clubs. They will have enough money to finish the transfer for Kane. Levy does not want to reduce the transfer price and it seems Manchester City will have to complete the transfer at $150M.

With what Kane did so far, he does not want to stay in Spurs and he will not renew the contract with the club because a renewed contract will close the exit gate for him.

Nuno better than Mourinho I can agree as team management. Results is something else though:)

I don't think so. Nuno is inexperienced and you can not say he is better than Mourinho after one win against Manchester City. Mourinho did amazing job in the first half of Premier League last year.

[Coyster]

City are interested in Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic and are ready to bid around 80m whom they see as an alternate transfer target for Harry Kane.

I know I am not all that too interested in the Italian league, and that's prolly why I have not heard of this player before, but I really must say that the rate at which players cost right now is alarming, even players that aren't established and have neither won a trophy are priced extremely high. Imagine Spurs requesting £150 million for Harry Kane and then City bidding 80 million for a striker that I can say is relatively unknown, in the coming years, things are only going to get worse and it's the smaller teams that would bear the brunt of it all, the bigger teams will get stronger, taking away precocious talents from the lower teams, while the weaker teams gets weaker.

Here's the games on my accumulator this weekend:

Liverpool 2-0
Newcastle
Manchester City clean sheet
Crystal Palace 2-1
Tottenham
Manchester United
Chelsea

Feeling pretty confident on the match predictions, but the correct scores are always hit, and miss. I feel like Crystal Palace could go a lot ways.

I was never fan of Ozil game. I admit he has soft touch and very good last pass but he just looks so uninterested on the pitch. I see him like a player who would be top 20 years ago, but nowadays everyone is so fit and players like Ozil are becoming extinct in top leagues. Should have been born earlier I believe there was not many Arsenal supporters sad to see him go, he was top 10 in the world per wages and nowhere near top 10 on the pitch in his last 2 Arsenal years. Could be wrong though, not like I am living in London.

He was an absolute baller when he first arrived. I don't know what went on behind the scenes, but he was sort of alienated from the first team, and well just kind of disappeared from existence. He did have some average seasons where he would disappear in games, but plenty of other top players do too, and they don't just disappear. I feel like a move away from the club a few years ago would have benefited him. He was definitely one of the top players once upon a time.

I was not talking about English tax, I was talking about generally very high prices for young English guys. If they were born in some other country, let's say Denmark, price would be 1/3 for the player of same quality. Stones was great last season but was he that good when City paid 70M for him to Everton? I remember bitching about how he was overpriced at that time.

Yeah, that was my fault for assuming you'd know what I meant by English tax; I don't mean literally the tax you pay on income/expenses I mean generally fans from the UK call the expensive transfer fees of English players to English teams; English Tax, because their price is inflated because of the homegrown status that clubs need to abide by. I believe it's 8 homegrown players? I can't remember the exact definition, but its easily searched. I believe it's players which have trained at a English club from certain ages that are then considered homegrown.

[condoras]

That may or may not happen. If Harry Kane's performances continue to shine, it's not only Man City who will try to sign him, I think many other big clubs will also be interested to sign him.

Tottenham seems that it doesn't want to sell Kane in any team that plays in the EPL, no matter what's the price. Even if it's just a rumour the possible interest of Man City for Vlahovic (to put some pressure on Tottenham which I doubt that they care), they need to sign a striker. IMO 80 million pounds for Vlahovic, is overpriced.

Unarguably, Southampton vs Manchester United will be a goal rushing tie. Although Southampton lost their first game to Everton and won’t want to start the campaign with a bad face by losing again this weekend.But I don’t see them pulling up a surprise form so I expect a very easy game for the Red Devils. They’ve shown how prepared they are after acquiring Raphael varane and Sancho. Their performance against Leeds United with Paul Pogba grabbing four assists and with five goals was convincing enough to show how ruthless they’ll be this season. I don’t see Southampton wining or even pulling up with a draw.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Leeds vs Everton can be one of the interesting and enjoyable games of the week. James Rodriguez and Moise Kean are still under quarantine at Everton. And we don't know when they are going to return. But Everton still have Richarlison and D. Calvert-Lewin. They both started the season by scoring goals. And I think that at least one of them will score in this game also. But it is going to be a tough game for both sides surely.

I think that both teams will score and the result might be a draw.
