Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Pokapoka124]

Was very impressed to see Antonio Conte twerk his team formation ( 3-4-3) against Chelsea to accommodate Richarlison to combine with his front three Harry Kane, Son Heung Min and Dejan Kuluvsenski in a 4-2-1-1 or let's say 4-2-3-1 with Richarlison spearheading his attack and Harry Kane just behind him, it shows Tottenham have given Conte the rotation he craves for and also exciting to know that the four front men can play Together, and I like seeing Lucas moura more on the right wing back. Would like to see the new formation this weekend against wolves.

Conte's tactics have been crucial to their team's good performance. His switching in tactics and formations makes the team unpredictable to their opponents and gives opportunity to field Richarlison to combine with Harry Kane, Son, and Dejan Kuluvsenski making it more difficult for the opposition defenders to stop their attack. Lucas Moura is also a good attacker who can add pace to their attack and an attacking option for Tottenham.

Well both teams will be looking for a win. Both teams started the season really badly especially Man Utd. Liverpool also knows they cannot drop points because against City every point counts. Also Liverpool for me is the favorite and will probobly win 1-2 or something simillar

Liverpool have to win the match against Manchester United and I hope they can. I will be honest that I have chosen Liverpool as the team that will win the title this season even though Manchester City are strong candidates for that. Liverpool have dropped points in their last 2 matches and they need to improve on the away match to Manchester United.

I wouldn't doubt them to win even without Nunez. Liverpool can handle it well and I hope Klopp can find a good solution for that later so we can actually secure 3 points to get out of Manchester United.

For years, Chelsea have profited from their academy in terms of player sales and additions to the senior team squad. They have also being effective in their scoutings and grooming young stars. They major issue now is getting a good attacker and Aubameyang is the name on their list to fill in that position.
The troubles Manchester united are facing is as a result of poor management, the Glazers family have to step down or do some restructuring at the top hierarchy and give much attention to the affairs of the club.

Yes, there is no doubt that Chelsea makes a good profit from the Academy; they have one of the best Academy and women's teams in the league, the club is well funded, and every part of the club is being touched and strengthened; even the new owner has invested so much in the Academy and women's team since taking over, and he has promised to fund the Academy more in order to save the club's future for the next 6-10 years. That is precisely what the Glazer has failed to do since Ferguson's departure. I've heard the club is valued at £5b, which is £800m more than the current Chelsea valuation, but I doubt the Glazer would let the club go so easily.

The absence of Nunez will definitely be felt, I think Firminho will have to come in to replace Nunez. Liverpool have a stronger attack that can penetrate United's shaky defense. Harry Maguire and Martinez will have to work so much and be on their heals through out the 90mins of the game. I hope Manchester United can get a point from the game to boost their confidence for the next round of the competition.

Yes, Firminho will replace Nunez. I think there will be no problem with Liverpool attacking. I even think that Firminho is still better than Nunez since he already played with Liverpool for a longer time. Firminho can play more solidly as a Liverpool attacker, he knows Liverpool play of style better because he already played with the same teammates in many matches. Because of this reason, I think Man United has no chance to get a point. I predict they will lose again in the upcoming match.

Roberto Firmino has been playing at Liverpool since 2015, it's true as you said that Firmino knows the Liverpool game better than Darwin Nunez.
After all, Firmino is 30 years old, which means he is more experienced in controlling emotions when playing. Unlike Nunez, whose emotions are
easily provoked by opposing players when frustrated that he cannot score a goal. I'm also very optimistic that Liverpool will beat Man United in
the third week of the Premier League, let alone Liverpool in the previous two games failed to win, then Liverpool will be much more motivated to get
their first win of the season, in order to keep the points difference with Man City not too far away.  After all, Man United as an opponent that Liverpool
will face is not in good condition. So the mentality of Man United players is in a slump after suffering two consecutive defeats. Liverpool will take
advantage of this to be able to win.

[arallmuus]

Obviously Klopp can use Firmino to replace Nunez for a while, but I think he can also use other players like Jota

Jota is probably the best choice that he has right now. Jota has been great since last season, well he is probably not on the same level as Salah or Mane last season but he was one of the reason they scored on some important games last season

Anyway, I will be happy if we can atleast hold Liverpool in Old Trafford. Pretty confident that we cant win because we suck so bad in the first two games against those low tier club so as long as Liverpool doesnt get 3 points in Old Trafford then I'd consider that as a decent result

[Lordhermes]

We should not underestimate man United at this point because there have been pushed to the wall, and even though Liverpool is a stronger opponent than Manchester United, there is always football luck and if United could take advantage of scoring an early goal then we can expect a favorable outcome.

Liverpool will never want to loose to Manchester United,Atleast not after they've drawn their first two teams.Manchester United have lost their first two matches,that is to say Liverpool are more inform than them,the highest Man-u can see in that game is a draw,but I am very optimistic that Liverpool will win this one.
Man-u have not really been in form this season because their coach is trying to build the team.
It's going to be a win for Liverpool.

[Raflesia]

Todd is doing well so far, at first I thought him handling transfer business will be disastrous and will end up in regret but so far he has successfully completed some major deals which proves he is capable of handling transfers. It's a good transfer strategy to sign players on the basis of investing for the future, this young players still have long years under their sleeves and can also do much better in years to come.

I also think the same way, with Chelsea's chaotic initial conditions when some of the club's top brass were left there as well as changes in ownership and the departure of several players that made this even more difficult, but I was wrong because Todd seemed to already know what direction to take so he did. he's made some transfers which are actually quite effective at the moment.

Hey guys here's a fun fact.  The last time Manchester United lost their first two matches, they went on to win the league that season.    Look it up...  Am I saying they're gonna win the league.  Nope.  But it happened.  What I do think will happen is we could see United lose their first three matches of the season.  They're up against Liverpool next, tho Klopp's boys haven't gotten their bearings straight yet, they're def better than United rn.

When was the last time United had losses in their first three matches of the season?  I don't think it has ever happened in the EPL era.

And what do you guys think of Liverpool to win and under 4.5 goals at 2.04?  Seems like a good safe bet.

My Uncle did share same thoughts with me the other weekend when Manchester United lost to Brentford, saying Manchester United will seal the league, but if you look, all of those good record's Manchester United had during the stay with the Gaffer as Head coach Al has been n shambles.

No! They're not going to win the Premier, getting the Europa league competition and qualifications for the top four spot is all a Manchester United would aspire for.  No too sure about Liverpool winning, but certain Mohammed Salah won't be on the score sheet during that game

[herurist]

Looking forward of seeing how Tottenham Hotspur will line up this weekend Saturday,after seeing lot of players coming from the bench and makes a difference, for example Ivan perisic really show class when he came in, he had an assist and influence the game so am guessing Conte will go for him ahead of Sessegnon, another player that made a difference is Richarlison, and I think he might displace Kulusevski even if the Sweden is a magician on his day, rumours came out this evening that Christian Romero is out for 3 weeks or so, then if is true Sanchez will start in place of him.

Actually, if you look at the current reserve or core team for Tottenham, the quality is still the same and not much different because indeed their reserve players are really playing very well and with undoubted quality.
They've really been serious this season so it's pretty good to say they're putting in the money this time it's worth it and a top 4 spot is still achievable.

Nunez's incident in the last game was definitely unacceptable. He should have been able control his temper there. This is not a good start for him here. He has got a very unnecessary red card in his second league game already. If he doesn't make up for this later then Klopp wouldn't be very willing to give him many chances in the important games especially. Nunez is a skilled striker and he should focus on being that only.

[Slow death]

Liverpool have been really below the expectations so far. I was waiting for a clear victory for them against Crystal Palace but they failed hard again. They are losing points in very comfortable matches already which causes them to be away from the leader already now. Maybe this is only the beginning of the season but Liverpool should be in-form as soon as possible. They wouldn't like to make an extra effort to get close to Manchester City later on.

It's true, people are looking forward to their first win of the season as they firmly believe Liverpool are the team most likely to break Manchester City's title dominance. But I never expected that they started the season in such an unpleasant way where they only collected 2 points in 2 match. But I am very grateful that Manchester City managed to take their chances to maximize every match to get points, it must be very nice.

For the next game, Liverpool will have to prove that they can compete well this season as title contenders by winning the match. Against Manchester United, the fans will demand them to win and secure the 3 points and I think there they will have a chance for that. I would be very surprised if they didn't do well even though it would benefit Manchester City and other teams as well.

it's a fact that this season liverpool is 2X weaker than last season, i would say they are not at the level to fight for the title, they don't have any chance the way they are currently, unless of course in the next transfer window they get some good player who scores goals and improves in defense, until the next transfer window arrives liverpool will just be struggling to survive in the premier league, it will be very dark days for me as a liverpool fan, but that is the reality. about the next game against manchester united, well i would say that both teams have a chance of drawing in that game, given the current state of liverpool, i don't think they already have a guaranteed victory, on the contrary they can draw

[TopT3ns]

Man.United should rebuild from scratch at this point as I'm afraid the current team don't have a winner mentality ( besides CR7 ) as they didn't win any trophy in their last years to make them have that hunger of performing on a higher level on every game they have. And from this mentality , they snowball into more problems and in the end , I'm afraid that no one can save united but themselves and this is what Ten Haag is trying to implement in their minds because the entire locker room thinks they are the best players when in reality , they are just a mediocre team but full of talents and individually skills but that won't save them unfortunately so they need to figure it out soon how to be a team when they enter in that pitch.

Rebuilding was what i expected Ten Hag would do on his arrival but he chose to stick to the old formation and tactics. I still believe in Ten Hag and to me what he needs do is ensuring his club players maintain their original wing without minding who gets hurt in the process. Liverpool are warming up to earn their full three points at Old Trafford and Hag needs to develop a working strategy to salvage themselves from losing more points in the league

I think if rebuilding in conditions like this then it is not very efficient because there is a match starting, at least Ten Hag can reshuffle the team while practicing so that they have ready preparations to compete, if in the middle of this match there will be risks high because it will definitely make some players unable to work as a team well.

Luis Suarez was a fighter, Diego Costa was worst
I expect that player bad better and Stronger been the head to lead Liverpool.
Watch most of the video clips on YouTube and the lad was great, same can be done in the premier league.
Firmino starts for Liverpool by Monday.

He is still very young so his emotions are still very overflowing in this matter but there really needs to be an improvement in his attitude because this will obviously hurt the team and now Liverpool have experienced that even though for official matches he has only played 2 matches there.
But this can also be something that is quite good for Nunez because indeed this can be a lesson for him not to do something like this again.

[kawetsriyanto]

I think Nunez is no longer very young, he is already 23 years old and he is a professional player. His age is the same as Alexander-Arnold and Konaté, but they can control their emotion quite well. Nunez needs to learn how to control emotion since he is an important part of Liverpool squad now. If he continues to do bad things and got more red cards, Liverpool may consider putting him on the transfer list in the future. A talented/skilled player is nothing if he has a bad attitude. We all must remember how the career of Balotelli, he ruins his career because he has a bad attitude.

I cannot imagine how Frank Lampard will react if Everton suffer another loss to Nottingham Forest in front of their home fans, I think Frank Lampard will surely be putting a lot of pressure to the players of Everton on this upcoming match. Everton are clearly in need of points to start moving up on the table and I guess Everton should be able to emerge as the winner at the final whistle.

Nothing comes easy as we look at it.
Frank Lampard should quit coaching for me.
He should quit coaching for the main time he hasn't done a really good job to do at eveetou.

But if you look at this, actually he does have protection from Klopp because he says this is something that can still be understood because there are provocations everywhere but still this cannot be justified for a player like Nunez.
Currently Liverpool's condition is also not good enough because now there are some players who are said to be quite difficult to compete due to experiencing problems there plus Nunez now who can't play so this is a bit of a relief for MU for next match.

On the one hand if you look, they play against not such a strong team, but as practice shows - Everton is not a stable team in terms of wins. When it is obvious that Everton should win - they can lose, but in principle this is the principle on which many teams in the PL play, it adds some interest. Although I may be wrong, but at least I find it interesting to watch.

In principle, please share then in another way, and in what other way can you rebuild the team? In any case, the head coach spent the pre-season part with the team, and a really real game can only be played in real conditions in the form of official matches. The most important thing is for Ten Hag to be an authoritative person for his players so that players take him seriously and implement his ideas, and such things are formed only over time and it is not at all a fact that this will necessarily happen. In any case, the team needs successful games with strong opponents and the match with Liverpool may well be the beginning of a new successful series.
