Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[CLS63]

There is another superb game this week: Liverpool vs Chelsea.

They both started the season with the same statistics. They both won their first two games. They scored 5 goals and conceded 0. These are both favourite teams for the league championship. Liverpool are advantageous here as the game is going to be played in Anfield. However, Chelsea have Tuchel and his system. We know what they are capable of. They beat the best, Manchester City in the last season many times as you can remember. And they defeated Liverpool here 1-0 also. So, Klopp should be very careful in this game against them. Otherwise, they would get another loss against Chelsea consecutively.

Chelsea.They are in good form as well,but I predict Chelsea to win this one.

They are the same, the first two games won. This is Liverpool's test at home. If they can win, I think they deserve the title challenge this season. Chelsea are also in good form. Tuchel has made a bigger difference than Lampard. Matches are unpredictable but maybe chelsea will have the upper hand because they have better players and are champions of the UCL. But remember that Van Dijk is back, this makes liverpol better.

That's too early to say like that, but it is OK to say like that as any good teams deserve the EPL title this season.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea are in a good form so I predict that it will be a tough match with less goal as the real fight might be in the midfield position.
The result will not be in a big goal difference no matter who will win, probably it will ended with a draw.
No favorite in this match, odds for Liverpool is 2.4 and Chelsea 2.9
Which one to choose? I will prefer to avoid to bet on Money Line for this match, double chance is better choice imo.

Liverpool begin good performance in two match and very early to favorite for Liverpool back champion again, almost the same last season Liverpool more dominance at the early primer league begin but when many important player injury they loss many point on home and away until Manchester City got the first position, I think need waiting on February next year when many most important match if Liverpool pass to knock out champion league stage.

After Kane decided that he is going to stay not force a move to Man City with
Tottenham and play for one more season.
The latest developments are accelerating regarding the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Manchester City.
 According to the Daily Mail, citing Portuguese sources, the Juventus star has agreed to personal terms related to his new contract with Manchester City.
The newspaper added that Ronaldo contacted Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola, at a time when Juventus was in negotiations with City to complete the deal.

Is there anyone else here hoping that the odds would improve for Man Ciry after Arsenal's huge win over West Brom? It changed a little which was pretty disappointing for me hehe. Arsenal fans could at least have a glimmer of hope that they could pull an upset. 1x2 odds at 10 will be rewarding to them.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I think this can be a 3-3 draw  

Van Dijk is playing decent IMO and right now he is playing a decent role in CB and not pushing him too hard I suppose and that is doing enough job. Now Lukaku vs Van Dijk is a debate that I thought would come after end of this gameweek and going over it I ask- What does it take to handle Lukaku? We all saw the first game and I honestly think Lukaku in the PL needs to have some pace. Question is who reacts quick to one's move. IMO Van Dijk has great awareness and great reading of the opponents plays. I think Van Dijk would be ready with all the deliveries being done from wing-backs to inside for Lukaku to throw in some shots off header or Lukaku receiving the ball and trying to find some room to slot in some shots. I feel like Van Dijk and his defense line would be ready for Blues attacks in the next match.

Lukaku slow seems to be a major complaint in England yes,,, but I do not think anyone in Italy ever complained. But maybe he does not need to be quick, he just needs to be strong and that he is. I think VVD looks fast and strong, but maybe not as much as Lukaku, who reminds me a lot of Drogba,,, except not as fast!

How I wish Chelsea can play an open game like they played against arsenal when playing liverpool come saturday but they won't, they will play defensive and look for to play on the counter because they can't outplay Liverpool with open play. Liverpool will be playing at Anfield and that is an added advantage to them. Lukaku and Virgil Van Dijk is the center attraction in Sunday’s game. Lukaku might look like a threat to many defenders because of his predatory finishing in and around the box make him the ultimate handful for a defender. But VVD is entirely fast and he’s more intelligent and he knows how to cope with powerful attackers.

Not sure of a chance to win against Manchester city it's a tough game away for Arsenal, despite having high hopes after a big 6-0 win with West Brom but Mancity will make it even more difficult, I think it's still a test for Arteta whether he is capable or not after two defeats.
But I heard that if Arteta fails again with Mancity then The Gunners have already prepared his replacement, and the candidate is Antonio Conte.
According to my local media sources

[Altryist]

Instead of betting on double chance then I think it would be better to bet on both teams to score, in addition to getting better odds because you yourself are also sure that each team will score one goal. But about the title winner of course still can't be proven in this match, we can remember about Manchester City last season which was not so good at the beginning of the season, but in the end Manchester City was able to become a title winner. So this match cannot be used as a benchmark for who will become the title winner but indeed, both are on fire at the moment which is of course difficult to predict who will win but I am sure, in this match there will be many goals too because even though both are in their best performance but they are still not strong in defense.

Liverpool took a break last season (just kidding), so this season they can go full power again. I am confident that Klopp will squeeze all potential out of the team. Yes, Chelsea are very good now, but do not forget that no team can be at their peak for a long time, the strength of the players is not unlimited. I saw something similar when Liverpool players fizzled out after a winning season. I admit that we can see something similar with Tuchel, because he also squeezes all the strength out of the players to the last, it's impossible to play for so long, there will be either a recession or a series of injuries. I think this match will be a draw or Liverpool will win.

Tottenham's next competitor this week is Watford. After Harry Kane made a statement by a tweet that he was staying this summer, I'm expecting to see him to be in the starting eleven. Harry Kane promised that he would do his best in this season for the success of the team. Tottenham started to the season quite well and I wonder if they will maintain it against Watford also. My prediction is that Tottenham will manage to defeat Watford by at least 1 goal.

I think you need a good pace in PL as a striker or maybe good enough with first touch and making rooms and surprise defenders and tuck in some goals. Another thing as a striker he could do is tee a perfect for other players in wing or midfielder to striker. But as a striker and the job he was signed in I think he needs to have a pace. But anyway its just one game and we have lot of games to see so let's see how he adjusts into team.

Next game is a tough job for him and a good chance to prove himself and the tag he was bought for.

Mendy oh Mendy, really this is a very embarrassing case for a professional player in the Premier League. He should be able to f**k more girls without having to rape her because of the money he has. If proven, Manchester City will actually punish him more severely and will not get a contract extension offer again.

He'll be sacked one way or another if they are already preparing a replacement hehe. Arteta probably doesn't care anymore since he already said he's ready to leave last season.

I guess it's fine if Arsenal would want to make the necessary changed this early in the season so the new manager will have enough time to adjust.

....

Such a waste for athletes earning millions and then charged with rape.

My prediction is that Tottenham will manage to defeat Watford by at least 1 goal.

For sure, Tottenham has, in my point of view, a much more qualified team that added 6 points in the first two weeks, so it is very likely that they should beat Watford, who are right in the middle of the table.

Even without Kane (I'm not sure if he will play as a starter), Tottenham have strikers Son and Alli who are also very good at their goal-scoring role.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that but if I remember how Klopp when he came to Liverpool brought big changes but at that time, Liverpool still couldn't win the EPL title. After that passed and then entered a new season and Klopp managed to provide the highest achievement for Liverpool by winning the EPL title. The scenario is at least the same as Tuchel's at the moment and in fact, Tuchel has yet to give Chelsea the EPL title and with the big changes made on his first occasion last season, it is still very possible for Tuchel to have a big chance this season. So, a draw or whoever wins in this big match, still cannot be linked to the title winner at the end of this season.

It's a sad case why it has to be like this, I think Mendy has bad behavior so he tries to rape someone, but I still haven't seen the news in the other whether this case is proven or not.
What is clear is that this is a shame for a big team, Manchester City, he will get punished if we see it validly.

Indeed, Mandy is known as a man city player who lacks a good attitude.  I think this issue will increase the dislike of fans towards him.  Moreover, the case that happened to him was rape.  Very bad attitude owned by a famous club player.  If proven true, I think his career will be over.

Benjamin Mendy really messed up, I hope those allegations will not ruin his football career if found guilty, this is a player who had not been playing regularly for Man City commiting an offence that might lead to a complete termination of his contract, as a professional player and bringing the game into disrepute, I hope he is exonerated from those charges else he might be charged and jailed like Adam Johnson a former England winger who had committed a similar offence by having a sexual activity with an under age girl.

Several footballers had previously stumbled upon the same case as Mendy. Remember the cases of Frank Ribery, David De Gea, then Diego Maradona, then Cristiano Ronaldo? all four were accused of rape, but I believe this case will be resolved after the court's decision. However, Benjamin Mendy had to get a suspension from Manchester City management for his attitude. Getting a woman doesn't seem difficult for him, but unfortunately he has to stumble on his case. I'm not sure a case like this will affect a player's career, but it's clear he will be tried in the right way if found guilty.

It's like killing his own career in the premier league and criticism will surely come from everywhere so this will make Benjamin Mendy worse, even though he will be legally punished by the judge but still he will not play how many seasons? this will obviously worsen his performance during the blunder of his rape.
So a fatal mistake would make him even more devastated.
Indeed, if this means Benjamin Mendy does not have good behavior off the field.

Both teams have same points, goals and haven’t conceded a single goal since the start of the season now. Chelsea is the better side in this fixture. They’ve been on form since during the champions league prep. How Tuchel has turned the players into supermen is something that’s far from reasoning. I think the summary of this weekend game is more about Lukaku and Virgil Van Dijk. Lukaku will try to benefit from Virgil's fresh restart after he suffered a knee injury last season against Jordan Pickford. But Van Dijk has quickly put those injury woes behind him, however, impressing in Liverpool’s successive wins and maintaining a clean slate at the back line to start the new Premier League campaign in style.

I disagree, I believe that Liverpool is the better side right now. Chelsea finally got the superstar striker that they were lacking and that is why they started on a high, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still lacking a lot of stuff as well, mainly chemistry if you ask me. Liverpool on the other hand is a well oiled machine once again and they are playing amazingly, I do not think that they will lose this match, or may not even end up losing too many matches overall this season combined, maybe under 5 would be possible.

This season and the past few games they played showed that VVD is a much much bigger part of the team than just defending, they could find players that could defend but they can't find players who are as good as VVD when it comes to bring the ball to an offensive possession, dude is a playmaker at defense.
