Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[hahay]

I think Southampton can stop Newcastle's dominance at least for a draw, but Newcastle are still on a very good consistent trend. I just can't imagine how Newcastle will be next season, at least at the moment with only a squad that is basically not a star player and not a famous coach but Newcastle can deliver great results. It's been a really great process that Newcastle have built as the richest team at the moment, I think their current situation of the club is the complete opposite of what Chelsea are facing. Indeed, at the moment Chelsea can still win but I'm not sure if the situation doesn't improve, it's a shame I think for Chelsea in the future and I hope the problem can be resolved soon.

What a way to f*ck up a good club. They are basically forcing Roman Abramovich to hand over the club to the Government without getting anything. It's also completely ridiculous to ban sales of new tickets and merchandise to help keep the club running. I think the man deserves better treatment after all that he's contributed to the club and to the London economy.

My only joy in all this is that the club is not allowing all these attacks to undermine their performance in the premier league, Abramovic has handed over the club and walked away but the part I don't seem to understand is the ticket sales how can the club survive without founds and buying of new players, I just pray for peace over the world because the war is already affecting the economy generally.

Newcastle is really on fire under Eddie Howe. I'm really happy for him, I always felt he's a good coach without a proper opportunity - he was fantastic at Bournemouth.
They are undefeated since the winter transfer window opened, in that period they collected 20 out of 24 points (6 wins, 2 draws).

They are now fully out of the relegation battle and Howe can calmly prepare for the next season. Great job again.

[Pokapoka124]

Fantastic game's tonight,all the fixtures today got involved in a total of three plus goals.
Beautiful goals from Havertz, Calum chambers and from Cash.
Chelsea game was super interesting, kante came on and grabbed an assist.
Chelsea win sets them more ahead of Manchester United and the Emirates.
Ruben neves of Wolverhampton beats them all, with he's Sublime chip!

Chelsea team did well and their coach is doing a great job for the few matches they have played so far in this tournament. With this massive defeat Chelsea has defeated Norwich 3-1 show that Chelsea are about to challenges Manchester city for first position in the premier league table to prove to their fans that they are fully ready to take premier league champion title this season. Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are really represent well as Chelsea professional  players who know how to bring early goals that will keep the fans rejoicing for the victory ahead of the match.

Norwich FC can't match Chelsea. Even if they decide to go all defensive for 90 minutes, this Chelsea team will create chances that can lead to goals. I think why some persons were hoping Chelsea performance would be affected by the recent happenings surrounding the club but as a big team that they are, they were able to dispatch Norwich.

[Oshosondy]

Wow they are now in good shape, this victory proves they are constantly improving, Southampton are not easy opponents for them but they are able to beat and get this important point makes further away from the relegation zone could be their latest target in the top 10 so it will be easier to get new players who have great skills next season.
Could they be like City or Chelsea who successfully transformed into a big club after getting a new owner?

All I was thinking before was that Newcastle will likely relegate this season but the club played excellently recently with the club winning the matches, I even thought Southampton being at home will be difficult for Newcastle and the it will suffer losses but also surprised to see that Southampton was won. Newcastle will not relegate this season because the clubs under the table like Norwish are not improving but I am now doubting if one of them will not sink Everton into the relegation zone.

Aston Villa are an doing an excellent performance ever since the signing of Philippe coutinho. They are ranked at the top 9 position in the Premier league after beating Leeds 3-0. Philippe was a good signing for them, after selling Grealish to Manchester city. Philippe know how to position, how net the ball in the goal post. Aston Villa need more experience players like Phil, Cash. On the other hand, Leeds are going to be relegated from the Premier league after conceding more goals than any team in PL this season.

Aston Villa's play this week was very good, they had a lot of shots to find the goal. Coutinho and Chambers showed a successful game and managed to score 3 goals in this match.
Leeds United is getting worse every week. Almost every match they concede at least 3 goals, something needs to change in the team as soon as possible. They can't last too long this way

[leea-1334]

We have to give special credits to the entire Chelsea team, the coach and players for handling this news very well and not Letting it get to them. More goals definitely in this second 45mins.

Sadly this sanctions will definitely affect the club even though it doesn't show with the results we get as we play matches but players will be leaving soon. Already we have three defenders out of contract and chances are they're considering leaving with a big contributions to the situation at chelsea. Assuming Roman was still in charge, we could have been able to convince the players of staying but now nothing can be done again.

Chelsea already has a successful season, we have been winning trophy all over and been getting to finals, we're still in the champions league and FA cup which we're going to go far in those competition. My worry is next season, how are we going to coup that's the worry now.

My team is from London so Chelsea is our big rival,,, but I totally agree. This move is unfair for them. Just like during Covid when some teams were affected.

Remember, if they can do this to one team, they can one day do it to your team.

Newcastle are owned by Middle East now. So is Arsenal. What happens when one day one of those countries like Saudi or Qatar or whatever gets sanctioned?

I really feel sorry for you Chelsea fans, and players. To be forced to accept punishment that has nothing to do with football.

[Pokapoka124]

If Abramovič sells the club on time the restrictions will be lifted but these things usually take a lot of time - due dilligence in such cases can last more than a year.

Anyway, this will impact Chelsea in the long term - I really don't feel they can be a top 4 team anymore under these restrictions.

According to media reports, Abramovich is not permitted to sell the club at this point. I read that sanctions prevent the sale of the club as well.

As described in the NY Times: "Abramovich’s plans to sell the team were now untenable, and on hold; the club was forbidden from selling tickets or merchandise, lest any of the money feed back to its owner; and the team was prohibited — for the moment — from acquiring or selling players..."

Yes, Chelsea will not be the same no matter what happens next. The sanctions will severely restrict the club's spending and seriously undermine its ability to operate at the same level it has for the past twenty years. No doubt about it.

I think Abramovich have give up about his owner on Chelsea before take final decision to sell his club but right now on hold after suspend by British government, I think Chelsea condition right now most terrible because they can't sell ticket, jersey and club accessories. But look funny with Chelsea fans after their club on hold and have get terrible punishment they can ask to government about their club, they not try to make demonstration why their club on hold, I was sad what happen with Chelsea and British government is danger and not respect with Chelsea how many time their player give achievement for National country, if I were Abramovich I will suspend all Chelsea player for England national country team.

I don't think Abramovich can suspend Chelsea's players from playing for the English national team, it is not a realistic approach because it is a law in the English FA to even have some numbers of English players in your club and matchday lineup or else you'd be sanctioned. This is the reason most clubs pay exuberant money for English players that are not really as good for the price tag on them because they needed to have English players in their club. If this the case, do you think a club owner can suspend his players from featuring in England games? The answer is no! Unless the club do it stylishly and mischievously by using excuses why those players can't play for the national team but say outrightly suspend them from playing would only bring more problem to Chelsea.

Leeds United are really down now they are winless in the last 8 Premier league games they have played, I think they will be in the relegation zone in the coming weeks if they don't bounce back, while Aston Villa have continued their positive trend this season, I think it's a win which Aston Villa really deserved with the excellent performance they showed in this match.

Yes, Newcastle have been in the limelight recently for their excellent performance somehow they recorded 4 wins in the last 5 matches
I see that there is some kind of extraordinary motivation so that they rise from adversity , from the start of the season Newcastle were the first candidates for relegation luckily they managed to make a big change in the game and have more opportunities.

The defeat against Aston Villa I think because Aston Villa are much better at the moment since Countiho's arrival there have been a lot of changes in Aston Villa's midfield which is getting better.
in the match against Aston Villa, Leeds United tried to control a lot of the ball but unfortunately their attack line failed to penetrate the Aston Villa defense so there were not many dangerous attacks.
maybe a lot of things that need to be fixed in the Leeds United team if they don't want to fall.

Chelsea already has a successful season, we have been winning trophy all over and been getting to finals, we're still in the champions league and FA cup which we're going to go far in those competition. My worry is next season, how are we going to coup that's the worry now.

I believe that although Chelsea current condition is not very favorable due to several factors that affect the stability of the players, it is possible that the solution that the coach is trying to take will be very serious in order to make a better comeback. Chelsea is a club that still has potential as one of the 3 big teams, so don't worry it won't be too easy to make Chelsea down.

Chelsea still has a chance this season to win 2 trophies namely the champions league and FA cup, while for the premier league it looks like chelsea is out of the championship competition, I think your concern is quite realistic because at this time there is no clarity about who owns the club next season, the stability of the club Of course it will be disturbed if Chelsea changes ownership and will be even more worried if Chelsea will later be in the wrong hands, so that it can make Chelsea back to what it was before 2003.

 if I were Abramovich I will suspend all Chelsea player for England national country team.

It's a stupid comment. A club owner has no right to prevent a player from playing for the national team. And even if he could, why would he do that?
Even if a club owner forbids them from representing their country, players have the right to refuse. They are not slaves. And, it's in their blood to represent their country and play for their nation.

Newcastle United are not short of a miracle this season.. At the beginning of the season, expectation were high but they weren't getting the results. They were looking like a team that will be struggling in the relegation waters as at January but see what they have done, they have had an incredible run thus far; 10 points above relegation. Getting 19 points out of possible 21 is a great achievement.

Coutinho is just a ridiculously good player. I know there is doubt as to whether he is back to his best or not, but he's certainly playing right now like he's one of the best in the world. If he continues at this level, I wonder whether Villa will be able to keep hold of him... is the Gerrard factor enough, or if a big Champions League club comes in for him, will the lure be too great to resist?

As for Leeds... their only hope is that there are 3 teams worse than them, which isn't a great position to be in. The only real positive for them is that Bamford is coming back... but will he be playing at 100% straight away?

Chelsea had a really comfortable game against Norwich yesterday. They dominated most of the game and got a 3-1 win as a result. Norwich tried to fight back against Chelsea in the second half. And they were doing good by scoring that goal too. But Chelsea still kept the game under control later on and finished the hopes of their opponent by dealing the final blow. And the other game impressed me was Southampton - Newcastle. Southampton got ahead first but Newcastle made a big comeback after. This was another important victory for Newcastle by 2-1.

[Cnut237]

Chelsea had a really comfortable game against Norwich yesterday.

Yeah, they did. I do wonder though how long they can go before the Abramovich sanctions start to affect their play. I mean, quite apart from not being able to buy and sell players, they are losing sponsors all over the place, and they are not even allowed to sell match tickets. It's difficult to see that they can remain a top world team. Maybe they can maintain it until the end of the season, but after that, if sanctions are still in place as they surely will be, then it seems likely they will just fall apart... and everyone knows this, so it must be really difficult for them to keep going as players. Particularly for those on long contracts, who know that the club is not allowed to sell them.

Brighton - Liverpool match is going to be another important match for Liverpool on the road to the league championship. Liverpool must win this match too and continue without a mistake. Brighton are not playing like they were before. Their form has dropped down a lot recently and they have a loss streak now. They lost their last four league matches which is terrible. Liverpool have everything they need to defeat them in this match. Maybe it isn't going to be easy for Liverpool but I'm confident they will win.
