Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Yogee]

I wonder what Manchester United are going to do against Burnley this week in the Premier League.

What do you mean? What else should they do other than prepare for the match? If you are talking about formation then I think it will be the same 4-2-3-1 that quite worked well for them in the past 2 games. It looks like they're better defensively now but De Gea needs to be in top shape always.

Liverpool did not lose any game and they played well since Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane left for AFCON now the tournament is over and they should be available for there next game, with them back I think Liverpool will be stronger let's not forget that they added Luis Diaz to there rank also in this January transfer window,but my fear for them is that this AFCON might cause enemity between Salah and Sadio Mane just like the world cup on Germany 2006 did to Ronaldo and Rooney.

Biggest shock of  the FA cup to me should be Leicester city vs Nothenham Forest, the premier league side Leicester city lost to a lower division side Rotherham Forest 4 goals to their single goal, and what's even funny is that they fielded a strong team against this lower division team, I think the quality of football from the English premier league teams is dropping fast.

in currently fa cup, only Manchester United and Leicester were unlucky. losing from a lower caste team, what a big joke!!

imagine how many people lost betting because of the losses experienced by the two teams above. looks like the winner FA Cup this time, it will be very difficult to predict

Leicester City didn't only lose, they received a lesson par excellence! Holy, how can they get defeated with a 4 to 1?

I didn't watch the game though, but the competition is way too important to let it go that way. Anyone placed a bet on Nottingham winning with a 0 - 2 handicap?

This is a crushing blow for them and surely the fans of the fox will not be happy with this.
9 minutes 3 goals is not a good thing for Leicester, why is their defense this bad.
They did get possession of the ball but in terms of chances Nottingham was far superior to them.
This is another embarrassing thing after Manchester United yesterday

Yes and I think Manchester is even more crazy because they had a home game and were playing in front of their own crowd in a full stadium with players like Ronaldo. Never ever should they give that game away, but somehow that results also fits very well into the story they are writing this season. They just can't manage to play constantly on a high level. There are always these set backs that really hurt.

With the 4-3-2-1 formation I think they are going to tear Burnley apart.
This can only happen if Burnley doesn't defends and comes out to attack Manchester United.
They did play good, they should give Paul Pogba mlre of the ball and more side runs should be made by Ronaldo, Rashford and Sancho.

I still hope that the players are professionals and it will not come to real hostility. Also, the post-match story gives hope for this, when after the end of the final, Mane approached Salah and tried to console him. I perfectly understand Salah's feelings when he didn't even manage to shoot in the penalty shootout, but I still don't think that this will greatly affect the interaction on and off the football field. Although, of course, it is clear that Salah's mood level will be clearly lower than Mane's. On the other hand, it may even have a positive effect on Salah's game for Liverpool, when the football player, thanks to his game for the club, will try to remove the negative that remained after the lost final.

You are talking about Burnley getting torn apart by Manchester. Well, as far as I can remember Manchester wasn't even able to beat Middlesborough in a home game. Let's first wait and see and I am sure Burnley isn't blind. They will also take into account that Manchester is vulnerable obviously. The longer you can keep your goal clean, the more nervous Manchester will become. They aren't patient enough. That's Burnley's chance.

Almost player have professional attitude what ever happening on the African nation final they will be great partner on Liverpool, but I hope both player can join as soon possible for Liverpool because few days later will have UEFA Champion League match where Liverpool face Inter Milan, beside still have many important match on Primer League I think Jurgen Klopp will give few days for Mane and Salah keep take rest and back to the club maybe four or five days later. If Mane and Salah have back to club I think Liverpool will have great opportunity on Primer League again.

Both have ever met in international before and fine, I believe both will never lose his professional. So far when one of them can't play versus Leicester, Diaz is good when together with Mane or Salah, I know they never paired with each other, But Klopp knows what he was doing, can all be taken down with 3-4-3 formation, with 3 on the front (Salah, Mane, and Diaz) or 1 of them as a substitution.

Man United did lose against Middlesbrough but Man United's performance at that time was quite good and they dominated the game, they are just unlucky enough to take advantage of opportunities. So against Burnley, Man United will still be the favorite and I think Man United certainly doesn't want to repeat the same mistake of wasting so many chances that could have been goals. I predict Man United will win by a difference of 2 goals.

Lose is a lose and if a big club have to satisfy with a lose in which they have good ball possession and domination, it is a more serious failure. It means they have a decreasing quality and performance with which they have to reduce their indicator for success. That is painful decreasing satisfactory in my opinion.

So against Burnley, Man United will still be the favorite and I think Man United certainly doesn't want to repeat the same mistake of wasting so many chances that could have been goals. I predict Man United will win by a difference of 2 goals.

Problems with Manchester United are unstable performance of a whole team from defense to attacking systems. In matches when their attacking players work fine and score goals, their defense players can not protect their goal and end with a draw. In opposite, when their defense system can protect their goal, their attacking players are unable to score winning goal. A combination of such, makes the club is very unstable in performance and unpredictable with whatever opponents.

What you said is true, because Man United's performance this season has been like that. But what we are talking about right now is about Man United's chances against Burnley, where I have the opinion that Man United will beat Burnley because after all Man United has a higher level than Burnley and I think Man United will definitely learn from their mistakes against Middlesbrough.

Moreover, this is a Premier League game where Man United still has a big chance to get a ticket to the Champions League next season and I guess they will try their best for it. To be sure, let's see together what the result will be.

Though Burnley home records is very poor this season with 1 win, 5 draws and 2 losses thus a very good opportunity for Man Utd to win the match however Man Utd can also be inconsistent and complacent at times, Burnley sit last on EPL table though with some outstanding matches though battling relegation however it's on record that relegation battling teams are very difficult to beat and hard nut to crack especially when playing big teams, Arsenal managed to play a draw at Turf Moor Burnley home ground, I am predicting a draw match here.

No vacation for Salah and Mane that the latest news from them currently they will back to Liverpool immediately and probably both of players will play against Leicester this weekend although i'm sure Salah very disappointed with the result of the african cup but he will be professional because Liverpool upcoming matches very important and they will playing again together to help Liverpool get winnings

Klopp said they are in the playing rhythm but I don't feel Salah is going to play. Mane maybe - he did not play as much - but Salah played full minutes in all Egypt's games and they all went into overtime.

I think we will start with Mane, Jota and Firmino, and Salah will probably get 30 minutes or so. I don't think we'll see Diaz against Leicester - it is still a bit too early and the game is really important.

This situation is not new, neither for Man City nor for Salah.
The African Cup of Nations always takes place at this time of year. Only the 2019 edition was made in June. For the rest, all other editions were made between January and February.

Therefore, they will certainly manage this situation well. So Salah, who even during Ramadan, manages to maintain a very good pace of play.

Either way, I believe Klopp will not have them playing the full 90 minutes, to ensure they are at full strength in the Champions League games.

before they went to afcon liverpool was not playing well and after they left liverpool started to play well, my fear is that with their arrival liverpool goes back to playing a little bad and only after some time get used to playing well new but it could cost them they were farther away from City in terms of points

but my fear for them is that this AFCON might cause enemity between Salah and Sadio Mane just like the world cup on Germany 2006 did to Ronaldo and Rooney.

in my opinion I doubt that this happens because looking at the two players it seems to me that they are more focused on their professional careers

Good news for Liverpool if Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane can be used in the match against Leicester later. We know these two players are contributing players to the team. And also their current opponent, Leicester. Leicester is a team that always surprises big teams. Moreover, in the last meeting, Liverpool had to admit their defeat to Leicester with a score of 1-0. Liverpool must be wary of them if they don't want to be beaten by Leicester at home.

The report even says that mane will stay longer as he might will have to celebrate the winning with family and fans that waiting him in his place , while salah might be returned sooner , still i know klopp wont force them to straight back and play against leicester .. klopp might ask if they are okay or not and respect whatever their choices.

Liverpool just fine without salah and mane to be honest, they could pass leicester city though.

[Fesatmas]

I wonder what Manchester United are going to do against Burnley this week in the Premier League. They are certainly the favourite to win this game without any doubt. Burnley are seen at the last place in the standings. They don't deserve to stay in the Premier League this season. I liked Manchester United's performance on the last weeks of the league. They have improved their performance compared to before. I'm expecting them to do more than this. They should be able to win this game easily.

Nobody knows what happened with Manchester United, in the FA they had to lose and get rid of Middlesbrough. Now they will face Burnley, bottom of the Premier League.
This should be a game that must be won by Manchester United. With the composition and quality of players owned by Manchester United.
But Burnley also have the motivation to beat United, as Middlesbrough did.

When he broke his bone I was actually very worried about his condition after he recovered, there would definitely be trauma that haunts him and becomes a shadow because the injury he got a few months ago was quite severe but now he is playing quite brilliantly even as a substitute and this proves his capabilities as well as his professionalism in the field.

Btw speaking of Leicester they now seem to have accepted their defeat. how could they currently be slaughtered with a score of 4-1. the match was a few minutes away and they seemed to have given up.

Injuries like that are always very dangerous as it can even terminate the career of any player all through his life time .
The validate that was used after he sustain the injuries was up and capable of holding down on that position swiftly and could do that as many times as possible. Leicester have reduced in thier game play and every criteria to the point that a club like Brighton can confidently play them even to thier doomed, its a tragedy

It could be like that but indeed serious injuries like this have taken a lot of victims and as you said they even have to be prepared for early retirement because of the injuries that were obtained in the first example there may be some here who remember about Luc Nilis who even had to be amputated due to seriously injured him in 2000.
Fortunately, at this time the healing facilities in injuries are quite good and indeed this can minimize the possibility of players who do get serious problems to be free from problems in a relatively shorter time.
