Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[AndySt]

Zidane to United seems like one of the best cases that could happen for United. I think 3 champions league in a row has never happened before Zidane, Real Madrid was a good team before Zidane and A LOT better when he was playing himself, and yet they never got 3 in a row, yet Zidane managed to do it.
I believe he will come back to managing one day, it is obvious that he didn't just retire, he just wanted to take some time off after such a great 3 seasons, and I believe that United would be amazing for him. He doesn't have a history there like he did with Madrid or maybe even if he goes to Juventus ever, but I still think it would be insanely good idea for him to manage United. There were talks about Newcastle getting Zidane, if he ever went to United now, he could be successful there for 3-4 years, and then he could switch to Newcastle that will be already a good team by that time and he could takeover and be awesome.

Zidane is not a panacea and he has no experience at other clubs other than Real Madrid. Ole Gunnar has not yet exhausted his working life at the club and we just need to let him continue working quietly as long as the club's management trusts him. Strong teams are not necessarily built quickly and maybe Ole Gunnar will need several seasons for this, and therefore everyone needs to have enough patience. In any case, the team continues to fight, including for Solskjaer, as Bruno Fernandes says in an interview that the team believes in the coach and his staff. This is evidenced by the strong-willed victory in the Champions League, when the team won back from 0-2.

You are right to give time, but the game goes on, when Ole doesn't want to develop a strategy then any time given time will only leave Manchester United far behind.

I think he is trying to develop the strategy, we cannot judge he has no intention to develop it. I don't know why do you judge Ole like that, do you have a reason? Even, he tried to choose different starting players in different matches, can be considered as an effort to improve the strategy. It is just an example, there are other things that can be considered. As far as I know, he isn't a typical coach that doesn't want to hear a suggestion from others. And he seems not using an absolute strategy during his career.

Ole isn't thinking any thing positive.
He has played atleast for a good team,his team manchester utd back then,days of Ryan giggs,Nicky butts and the rest you Could spare .. But why is he still calculating and operating under the archaic mentality?? Has he forgotten that football was formerly played wrongly until it was rearranged?
Please spare me any excuse.!
The man isn't helping issues at all,he should be sacked if he refuses to upgrade

yes, of course, that is a tactic and will be always tactics. But sometimes, the tactics may be developed or modified due to the codnition of the recent matches, players, and also other codnitions.
I know that Ole is actually a potential coach and he is profesional. However, he needs something more to make the best decision to face every match.
But yeah, it may be not easy to set the most fixed and matched strategy for a team moreover if there are some different views in the team itelf. This is the challenge, and Ole is on it.

[blackened515]

United has top players and they should be winning everything out their but the board and manager are fucked. They should take Chelsea as an example, if you get hired and do not give us what we want, you get fired immediately but no United keep giving Ole another season until he ruins the whole club.

It's like giving an opportunity for Ole Gunner to stay at Man United for a few seasons as an option but it is the United management's desire that Ole stay while what we see from Manchester United's game is not too bad but when competing with big teams they are still overwhelmed and can't win because their strategy is not as good as the opponent then this will be easy to beat.

Actually this needs consideration and must focus on the approach to Zidane that is widely reported so I think it must be obtained so that Manchester United's progress is even better.

Going for Zidane might not have much improvement on their present performance considering the fact Ole is still the coach. For me Ole can't manage united boys he just leave so Manchester united could get a new coach. I'm just so not comfortable with Ole because with the current squad he has he still struggle with his matches winning only by slight luck

I agree with you @Zilon, is obvious Ole can't manage Manchester United and he just have to leave. With the kind of squad Manchester United have, winning a match shouldn't have been difficult for them. What they lack is a good Coach who will lead them into winning more matches. They drew against Everton and got beaten by Leicester in their last matches. However, their performance have been unstable, and they have a tough match this weekend. Liverpool is probably a strong team, which I don't think Man U can beat easily. They will either end up losing or drawing the match.

So in all,do you suggest he should be sacked just like that? I still think,Ole should be given a number of matches to deliver,failure to do that,then they can sack him.
To me,even if he is finding it difficult to win trophies,I still think he is some how a good coach,the pressure is coming heavily now because he has the likes of Ronaldo,Sancho and Varane in the team now,therefore he is suppose to deliver on daily basis,but football is not like that.As the time goes,they will blend and play better football.

There is a news making the headline but I am yet to confirm the source about Referee Mike Dean that he has been removed from officiating in this weekend premier league fixtures for not sending off Crystal Palace McArthur for his assault on Saka. In my opinion he deserves a better punishment than that. He deserve to be removed from officiating any premier league match. But what is the importance of VAR, honestly and why do some Referees refuse to check the screen some times. If it was a player like Arsenal Granit Xhaka, the red card could not be even enough they would suspend him for more games.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Arsenal vs Aston Villa will be a really tough and close match for both teams I think. Lately, I can't say that both sides are doing very good. Arsenal were quite good but they started having unsatisfactory results again. Arsenal are just not a credible team yet. And they never will be as long as they don't have a solid game plan and better players. Aston Villa is a tough opponent to beat. I think it might end in a draw.

Have you been watching and observing Arsenal's performance before the Tottenham game? They were struggling to win even though they won but the results were not satisfactory because of one key factor.  Arsenal very excellent against Tottenham because of the same key factor. Here is the thing..... The key factor is Granit Xhaka pairing with Thomas Partey in the midfield. Again that was why we lost the midfield against Crystal Palace and Brighton. When Granit Xhaka is not partnering Partey that's the performance you get from Brighton game and Crystal Palace game. Arsenal fans don't see how hardworking Granit Xhaka is. He compliment the midfield by holding the play, receiving the ball, linking up with the attack and also allows the offensive players capacitate their offensive duties. And that is why i am afraid this Aston villa game might be very difficult for Arsenal due to his absence and Aston villa wont want to lose two games in a row. They have a very strong combating and in form midfielders in Douglas Luiz and Mcguin.

[AakZaki]

Though United has won their last match, but I strongly think that Ole's end to United's career is not that far away. They have bought a goal machine this season and they have Cavani and Rashford and Bruno aside CR7. They are scoring the goals but are lacking a lot in defense. Which was clear in the Atalanta match.

The match in the UCL was extraordinary, they were able to win after losing 2-0 in the first round. I'm quite happy today that Solskjaer made the right decision to bring in Pogba. But I don't support him staying at Man United, because I think he loses more than wins. With a squad of great players. I agree they are starting to think about changing a new coach, I think the time given to Solskjaer is more than enough. This weekend they will play Liverpool, a tough task for Solskjaer. Liverpool are currently doing well, they have not lost in the last 4 matches.

The game against Liverpool is more decisive for the Man United coach than the Champions League game. The English place more value on domestic games than international ones. So I think the game against Liverpool could be decisive for the coach's continuity or not. On the other hand, normally English clubs, especially Man United, do not usually fire coaches in the middle of the season.

The game against Liverpool is very decisive and crucial to Manchester united management, Manchester United players and Manchester United fans. This match is the one that will expose how lucky Ole and his boys have been because Liverpool is not a club you will draw or win in few mins to close the match because they are balanced.
In the case of determining Ole's fate, Manchester United has a history of dismissing their coach after Liverpool match. So, let's see how it will be.

Today is another important day for Arsenal. Because they are going to host Aston Villa and they really need to play decently and win also. They had a really poor performance against Brighton and Crystal Palace before. Actually, they were better against Crystal Palace as they scored two goals but they still barely drew with Crystal Palace. The fans really missed to see their team playing strong and winning comfortably. But this is even a tougher match than the last ones. Aston Villa are showing a good performance against big teams. Arsenal can't be considered one of the biggest teams now but they will surely have a hard time beating Aston Villa. I think that it is likely for us to see a draw.

I still expect Arsenal to win this match but it looks like it will be a tough mission, considering Aston Villa have been doing pretty well so far despite playing away. If I had to predict without betting I would still choose Arsenal, but if I had to bet I guess saying who won or drew is something difficult for me. Therefore, I think betting for both teams to score or betting over 2.5 goals might be a good betting option for me.

analysis for good bets. by looking at the strength of the two teams which I think are not much different at this time. there will be goals, but not in large numbers. Arsenal has a strong enough motivation from trying to get up from a bad game before. moreover, they play in front of their public. the ranking position in the standings is also not far away, this will be a competition that does require there to be a winner. don't share numbers.
In this match, Aston Villa has a greater chance of stealing points.

Right now any game is of high importance for Arsenal. After a disastrous start to the season, they have to give everything in every game, to be able to remove the bad image they will leave. On the other hand, due to the classification so close, the game against Aston Villa will not be easy. It will certainly be a very low-key game, and a good game to watch.

Am I wrong if I consider Arsenal and Aston Villa are at same level? I think they are with what Arsenal have and show in this season. They recovered after bad start but I don't believe Arsenal will go to far and achieve high position on the table.

Aubameyang is improving his performance after the past bad season. He will be one of biggest hope for Arsenal to beat Aston Villa.

There are more matches and long season for Arsenal. With their resource now, they can not think too far. They must think of each match and go match by match.

Looking at their standings and also the statistics between Arsenal and Aston Villa are not much different so this should be a balanced match for Arsenal meaning they are not facing stronger team compared to them, but unfortunately their inconsistency makes them often not perform well, they face problems in all lines attacker and defense, big money Arsenal spent is not worth the results they have got so far.

Arsenal will find it hard against Aston Villa. It is certain. Firstly they do not have that midfield presence now and that have been seen in previous games in which Arsenal struggled all through because they lost the midfield to their opponent. Xhaka's absence has left a hole in the midfield and Arteta has not been able to find a suitable replacement and it will continue to disturb their performance. Aston Villa Mcguin and Douglas Luiz are in the form of their lives and I am worried about Arsenal. I do not think Arsenal have a chance at winning because Aston Villa Manger has won about 75% of his Premier League meetings with Arsenal of all managers to have faced the Gunners at least four times in the competition. This stats is enough to frustrate Arsenal tonight.

[boltz]

Arsenal vs Aston VIlla today and this might be a tricky game with a lot of goals , both team to score and hopefully a victory from Arsenal side. However, Aston Villa had some great games lately with Arsenal so I do expect them to score but I don't expect them to win. Why ? Simply because Arsenal has the better squad right now and a better morale even if both of them are coming after a defeat and a draw.

I think their 5 unbeaten matches will be a major source of motivation in today's match with a win or at least draw, after putting behind the poor start of the season, playing today's match against Aston Villa at home will give them an edge over their opponent who are equally a mediocre side, Aston Villa though can be a hard nut to crack at times just like when they played Man Utd, I expect Arsenal not to expect an easy game likewise if they really want to win thus no room for complacent or any error.

Arsenal's performances over the past few matches have been much better than at the start of the season, but Austin Villa are not a weak team at all. If we compare them with Arsenal this season, it will be clear. Arsenal has scored 7 goals and conceded 12 goals in 8 games this season. The defense is weaker than their striker. Aston Villa, on the other hand, has scored 12 goals and conceded 12 in 8 matches. Their defense is good enough. While Arsenal is mentally strong, Aston Villa is not a weak opponent.
