Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

-snip-
I see an important match in the fixtures on 20 November. Leicester City v Manchester City match will be played. Manchester is my favourite, but Leicester might surprise us.

Leicester are still a club that has not been very consistent this season, it seems against Man. City will not give a surprise like they got against Manchester United. because, Man City are more better in defense and attack than MU, I think Leicester will find it difficult to score goals on this match. Maybe, if lucky, Leicester geting draw, it becomes a good result for them.

No, it comes down to the quality of your team. Coach plays a role as well of course, but if you don't have a lot of rotating options and a strong bench, you simply cannot play well in all competitions. If you try, you will probably overload players - causing more injuries, fatigue and a drop in performance.

Arsenal's team is somewhere in between - I feel they would do well in Europa League. Not in CL though, they lack quality for that.

I disagree with you at this point.Everybody knows Arsenal were a regular team in the champions league for about 13 years or so under Arsene Wenger.Now this is Arteta's era,where he is trying to build something,a collection of young players who are willing to win games together and make the club grow big.
With the way Arsenal are currently playing,you cannot say they cannot play the champions league,the young boys are really up to something,and let's look at where their form will make them end on the table.

Arsenal are regular UCL participants during the era of Wenger they might not win the EPL then but top 4 is well guaranteed, I agreed with you on how Arteta is building his youngstars just like the old tradition of the club, once these young lads get much needed experience they would be unstoppable, players like Simbi Lokonga, Tavares, Tierney, Smith Rowe, Saka and Ramdale are promising youngstars with the experienced Abumeyang, Lacazette, Xhaka and Partey would really ensure they reach top 4 this season if they are consistent in their performance.

Arsenal's big rise has been continuing for many weeks. I really appreciate their huge performance and form in the recent times. At the beginning of the season, they were in a really terrible condition. But Arteta still managed to make a big comeback and Arsenal climbed to the 5th position. It was not easy for them that's for sure. I can't say that they solved all of their problems yet. But we'll see that in the rest of the season. I hope that they can keep up the good work and end the season at a decent position.

I think there is a difference between coaching man united and west ham because man united as a big club there is much pressure on their managers to win titles, that is why many managers failed because they are not given the appropriate time since many come with their own game strategy and sometimes they fail in adopting it but i think he is already succeeding in west ham like he succeded in everton he made a strong team out of them.

yes, Leading a big team definitely has its own challenges and pressures especially fans and management that was burned by the media.
making simply one mistake in a match already got them highlighted and become news headlines.
Managers' biggest enemy is the media, which always blame them when they try to be creative and advance the team
but ended up getting fired. this is modern football that must always be perfect.

Based on the results from last night's match, it was enough to make Ole go faster. West Ham, who led the way, showed more quality than Manchester United last season and came back with a much better performance. This is not only from the quality of the players but the coach who is able to bring out the skills of every forward player to be able to encourage defenders to be able to provide direct feedback forward and build counter attacks quickly and execute them by paying attention to empty gaps in the penalty box sector.

The thing I wonder the most lately is whether Manchester United will decide to change their coach or not in the coming days before their next match. To me, they should already have been in search of a new coach. Conte would be one of the best choices for them I think but Tottenham were faster than them to get him. Because of that, they should be continuing to look for good coaches.

Yes, Arsenal are slowly but consistently, even though the victory they get is only a win with a low score, but it is not a problem to continue to get points in every match. In fact, their current number of goals and concedes is the same at 13:13. So in this case basically they are quite focused on getting points even though it is a draw by one point, but with such consistency of course they will slowly continue to break through the top ranks without having to win by big scores.

I agree. It is not very important for them whether they won by one goal or a bigger gap. They mostly care about winning each of their matches one by one. At some point, Arsenal will also get a loss of course. But they have a really huge streak in the Premier League now which is a fact. They didn't lose in their last eight league matches and won six of them which is very impressive to me. But they have a tough and huge match against Liverpool away next. Let's see what they will do then.

I doubt that he will be dismissed, from what I see the Manchester players lack discipline and lack of commitment, the part that the coach makes mistakes Is that when he wins a game without conceding a goal he doesn't keep the same formation and the same players, he changes everything in the game safely and does it constantly and that makes the team not stable

Exactly this but I've had some conversations with some friends lately about this and this is kinda like a different POV. Fans tend to blame Ole for this but some other POV would be that signing Ronaldo is the reason on why Manchester United failed to impress so far.
Its not that I dont like Ronaldo coming back to Old Trafford but Ole and his squad was 2nd last season. Ole had his desired squad from last season + Varane and Sancho, he basically had everything planned out then boom Manchester United sign Ronaldo. He had to change everything to suit Ronaldo's playstyle because of this then he failed to do so and I personally think this is a quite exciting POV though

In any case, the fans and the management of the team can no longer be satisfied with even the good results that the team showed last season. The team has to make a qualitative breakthrough and for the sake of this, the strengthening of the team was carried out, including Ronaldo was signed. Therefore, Solskjaer in any case had to make changes to the model of his team's game, regardless of whether Ronaldo would have returned to Manchester United or these tasks would have had to be solved without his participation. I think that for any normal coach of an above-average level, the problem of how to fit a player of Ronaldo's level is a pleasant headache, and I would not reduce all the current game problems solely to the difficulty of fitting the Portuguese into the squad. The club really does not have a great game discipline and a honed tactical game, and there is a large share of the coach's fault in this. Another question is whether the club management has at least some confidence that Ole Gunnar will still be able to fix it. Apparently, there is still such confidence, or at least hope for it.

The league still has a long way to go and Man United could have made the breakthrough faster before it was really too late and had no place in the standings this time around. I certainly agree that Manchester United need to change their appearance. It started with replacing Ole and trying a game that actually no longer needed to buy players because what Man United needed was a breakthrough coach.

Manchester United fall behind competitors for the title but they also fall deeply enough to see Arsenal stands above them. It is unbelievable when the season kicked off because Arsenal was in bad crisis with Arteta last 2 seasons. Nobody believe that they can have higher ranking than Manchester United. Especially can not imagine of that, because Manchester United just have a good transfer season with Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo.

The biggest failure is from Solskajer who can not manage the club too good as expected by the board and fans.

Manchester City ended Manchester United in the derby last weekend but Ole hasn't still got sacked. I wonder what Manchester United aim to do by not doing this. Maybe they want to find a new manager before sacking him and I hope that it is the situation. Otherwise, a very problematic period of time awaits the team. Manchester United have a very tough fixture ahead. Maybe the Watford game is the easiest one but even it is going to be hard for them as long as they don't make a change.

That is not an excuse. I don't think Manchester United will sack Ole Solskjaer this season. Retaining Ole Solskjaer means Manchester United forfeit all hope of wining any trophy. The team will continue to play badly under Ole Solskjaer poor strategy. His strategies are not working and he doesn't have any new ideas that are good. There is no easy fixture for United this season even with the best in the world in the team

Everything has limits and Ole has been given three seasons in Old Trafford with too good support from the board. The support he got is totally different from what Moyes, Van Gaal or Mourinho.

If results won't be improved, Ole won't be saved in the club. He will be fired but it seems he is very lucky. Whenever he is in the verge of sack, he was saved by players. We witnessed it again in the last few matches before the derby defeat.

The issue for United is they will not easily to find another good coach on the market, now or even next summer.

Exactly, this is the situation now for Manchester United. As long as they perform this badly, there will be no match that will be an easy one for them. I was not very happy to see them being desperate against Manchester City the last time. They didn't even attack the opponent's goal properly in the whole match. The only chance was Ronaldo's and that was it. They can't go on like this. This team deserve much better.

Zidane is free so was Conte before his appointment to Tottenham Hotspur,I think Zidane has all the qualities to coach a team like Manchester United,he has a very good relationship with Christiano Ronaldo and he loves playing wingers and Manchester United have lot of good wingers.and Manchester United have players Zidane has previously admired during his time at Real Madrid like Paul pogba and Bruno Fernandez, de gea, and Varane is still there.so I think he is the best for the job and he would like to come.

[watergold]

Liverpool were seen as the favourites, but West Ham United continue their successful chart. They managed to beat long-standing unbeaten Liverpool 3-2. Liverpool's two goals were also very good. I see an important match in the fixtures on 20 November. Leicester City v Manchester City match will be played. Manchester is my favourite, but Leicester might surprise us.

Until now apart from Westham, the teams that are predicted to be the dark horses are Leicester, Brighton and Wolves.
Reflecting on Westham's result against Liverpool, everything is possible in football, including this match.
I think maybe City will be the favorites to win. but leicester of course will make them in trouble

It's a crazy statistic, but true: a quarter of all premier league managers this season have been sacked in the last five and a half weeks! We've lost 5/20 already. There is so much money in the league now, and the pressure on managers to get results is just unbelievable. Even though Solskjaer is a favourite at Man U, in this climate it seems unlikely he'll remain in his post for long, unless results take a sudden dramatic swing for the better.

It's too funny to keep Ole to the point of sacrificing players being bombarded with miserable scores many times. Manchester United seems to have been made like this on purpose, since Solskajer was there. It can't be helped that the Manchester United manager does not tolerate criticism from outside parties and continues to force a coach who is clearly incompetent to manage quality players.

Manchester United and their boards of directors are deceiving their selves, because if they don't sack Ole before the end of November they should forget about the league title and is a shame because when the season started they were one of the favourite to lift the title ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea but right now they are trying their best to be better than west ham.and the board are doing nothing,that's very poor from them.

Arsenal have done so well this season because they have only focused on the Premier League. But other teams' Champions League and Europa League matches also have to be taken seriously. The players get no rest. However, Arsenal have plenty of time to rest, adjust their match strategy and improve their performance. This is the only reason their performance is improving, at the same time Arteta is doing well .

That's arsenal's advantage, with current players supposedly this season they can break into the Europa League. They have Aubameyang, Ramsdale, Ben White, Tomiyasu who at least performed quite well from the start of the season. I'm sure if they are able to stay and take advantage of the advantage of just concentrating on the EPL and League Cup then they should be able to get into the Europa League. In addition, the results earlier this season will make Arteta at least safe as Arsenal coach.

[KTChampions]

Perhaps after the break for the national teams, we will again see a series of failures for the top clubs, since they suffer the most from the fact that a much larger part of their roster (compared to smaller clubs), instead of resting, spend their energy in national team matches. Those who are lucky enough to pass this stage with less losses will get a good advantage.

They suffer more from injuries which will cost them a player for several weeks rather than exhausted players which could recover in few days
In the next round, there is many interesting games, Chelsea - Leicester, Wolves - West Ham, Liverpool - Arsenal and Man City - Everton. We all have a favourite team in mind but I have the feeling that the result won't be as clear as that!
When it comes to Watford and ManU, odds are @6 - @1.5 respectively. Wonder know if ManU won't embarrass themselves in this match

Yes it is, but the players who, instead of the intense matches of the national teams, had a rest, are also a factor influencing the game. The most interesting match of the next round, in my opinion, is Liverpool - Arsenal. If Arsenal wins, they will overtake Liverpool and actually enter the championship race (I think no one disputes that Liverpool is participating in it). If I remember correctly, the odds of Arsenal becoming champion are in the 74 area
