Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Rruchi man]

Liverpool is clearly very difficult to stop Manchester City from lashing out.

Liverpool usually comes alive whenever they play against Manchester city I was having high hopes for them until I saw the news about Luis Diaz's injury that is going to take him off play until next year. I wonder how klopp is going to cope with this new challenge especially since he has not had a smooth running this season in the premier League. I hope they put up a good performance against Manchester City to slow them down from chasing after us (Arsenal) on the league table. Even if they cannot win, holding them to a draw will be celebrated.

Watching Nottingham forest against Aston villa, the game is currently a draw with both teams having one goal each, but Nottingham forest needs the win the most IMO to break their run of bad luck in the season. The players in the team are not yet playing cohesively and i predict Aston Villa to be winners at the end.

[fuguebtc]

So far I still expect Aston Villa to be stronger under Gerrard, because at the time of Gerrard's arrival last season Aston Villa looked to be making promising progress this season.

I don't think so, or rather imo i didn't notice any sort of improvement for Aston Villa since Gerrard arrived as manager, they have been unconvincing and have struggled continuously, Gerrard's record as Villa boss isn't all that impressive too, IIRC he has managed around 35 premier league games and has lost 16 of them, that is not an encouraging record and that is why Villa have never been comfortable on the table since he has been manager, they have 8 points this season, just four more than the team in rock bottom, we might see them in that position sooner or later.

True, Gerrard has not been able to make any significant changes, with their current position proving that Gerraad has not been able to improve the team. Maybe this match they are favored because it will be against a bad team and are at the bottom of the table, Nottingham Forest. I still doubt his performance will be able to make Aston Villa even better, with his performance like that. Maybe this is a factor in the players in the team or indeed his ability has not been able to do extraordinary things.

Aston Villa VS Nottingham Forest Match is currently underway..
The current score is: Aston Villa 1 - 1 Nottingham Fores. 40 minutes of playtime.

I am really not convinced that Aston Villa will be able to beat Nottingham Forest. If the arrival of Gerrard actually improved the performance of Aston Villa we would have seen it by now. I am going to give Aston Villa the benefit of the doubt that they might win this match only because they are playing against a team which is absolutely at the bottom of the table. And this is a very good chance for Aston Villa to get away from the relegation zone. But as I said I still highly doubt that they will be able to actually win this match.

[Alanaz]

But whatever it is, I believe Liverpool have great potential to bounce back and perform well again. Actually, I don't want Manchester City to loss in this week's match against Liverpool because I believe Liverpool have a good ability to score points. Manchester City must be wary of them, Liverpool will play at home.

It's still possible to happen, but something like this can only happen if they change some of the schemes they do especially in terms of their defense because until now compared to last season I think their defense is a bit weak and of course Klopp must make improvements to this.
Their goal productivity must also be honed because this is one of their assets that seems to be fading this season as well.

[doomloop]

Why is arsenal not considered as title contenders, they are doing great right now, but when you talk about them, we talk about how they would qualify for the champions League next season but not them winning the premier League, I think that's because of Manchester City,but what arsenal played against Liverpool you will now that they are not joking,they outplayed Liverpool from Start to finish, even when their goals are being equalise they still keep going and don't want to take draw for an answer.

Until I watched yesterday's match, only I can say that Arsenal must be taken into account in the EPL title race this season, don't underestimate them, how Liverpool is difficult to penetrate Arsenal's defense and Arsenal's attack is so troublesome for Liverpool's defense, now it's no longer how they can play in the UCL next season but how to continue to be impressive to stay at the top because their rivals City will benefit from their mistake even just one.

After the end of nine rounds and with their performance level now most pundits are having them into race for title contender because their performance is consistent, and their defence is also doing amazing job which is surely going to be positive for them, Arsenal attack is currently second best at English Premier League which is going to help them against top teams even Liverpool have serious trouble against them which is showing their strength.
 
Now with this performance most chances they could be in top spots in this season, and surely they are going to be play Champions League which is going to help to have good chance for them after long time now after having two big wins they are serious title contender with Manchester City.

Arsenal are just doing their possible best to maintain the premier league rankingbut as things stands now, manchester city will be a big rival for the gunners this season. Arsenal are underated and some fans don't have the impression that they will lift the premier league trophy. But if one can look at the other end, arsenal are one of the best team with good form thi sealed with just losing one games winning the rest is consider tough long run. There's still time for we to decide who win the premier league title this season.

[Xxmodded]

Arsenal are playing great now. They beat Liverpool brilliantly. Although Liverpool had more possession, Arsenal were able to capitalize on their chances and score. Arsenal took 7 shots and Liverpool only 3. Here I understand that Arsenal's defense has protected their goal quite well.

Arsenal success destroy with public claimed about bad reputation against with bigger club after success defeating Liverpool on last match. Most important winning for Arsenal after defeating Liverpool and return to 1st position standing after taken by Manchester City in several hours. Next match Leeds United not really make Arsenal difficult and have big chance to win again in Primer League and keep exist with top standing. Right now is the moment for Arsenal return as top fourth team in Primer League after loss dominance last several years and have loss champion league ticket.

[Pokapoka124]

Salah was like a ghost in this match. Klopp subbed him off after 70 minutes. Something interesting has happened to Salah since he signed his new contract. He doesn't seem like he is caring about showing a solid performance just like in the old times. We aren't accustomed to see him this much ineffective in a season.

Salah is considered to have failed to maintain his good form this season, but I wouldn't say he is too bad considering Salah has scored 5 goals and 3 assists in Liverpool's 11 matches in the Premier League and Champions League. You can't expect him to keep scoring goals every matcg\h, but you can probably expect him to make a good contribution to his team in the match.

Salah has so far played all Liverpool games in the Premier League this season, but in 8 matches he has only scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists. I think an increase in form can be expected for the rest of the season, he's not the type of player who is comfortable with this kind of bad form.

Tough season this time for Mo Salah, we have seen him struggle in many games this season. He has played all Premier league games for Liverpool this season and succeeded in scoring just two goals in 8 games which is so unusual. I hope this is not going to be the end of Mo Salah's outstanding work last season, I doubt if he will be able to compete with Haaland.

[Rabi3]

I am really not convinced that Aston Villa will be able to beat Nottingham Forest.

same, I don't think they can beat Nottingham, it's most likely going to end in a draw, probably 1-1 as it is right now, I've seen the start of the second half nothing much there to see from both sides, double chance for Nottingham is the best in my opinion @1.65.

Perhaps a match between them and Manchester City will make the league winner's selection more predictable, easing their anxiety about whether or not to win the title. This month they will compete against one another; perhaps by then we will know who will hold the top spot on the table over the long term. With their current state of peak performance, none of the two teams appear capable of losing a game.

Salah's performance down especially in the early of the season. I don't think he has lost his magic to compete with other players but when you compare him to Haaland then I think things are far away now.

Haaland is a pure striker who actually has a special role as a target man in the scheme or tactics of Manchester City's match. While Salah who is on the right has a different role even though he is a wingers who has high goal statistics. Salah prefers to dribble and look for chance to score goals, but Haaland he prefers to receive assists for most of his goals. These two players are different, so comparing the two might not be a good idea.

I  am seeing the match and I can confirm that Aston Villa is not finding I easy in this match. They match is very really tough and with alot of pressure. Nottingham forest has understood the danger they will be when they lose this match and that is why they are playing as if their lives depend on this match.
The 2 goals of the match so far all came in the first half when Nigerian Dennis first netted within 15mins of the match. It didn't take so long before former Manchester United player - Young balanced the match with an equaliser.

[barbara44]

Manchester United had a good reaction to their Manchester City loss. They showed a good effort against Everton and got a well-deserved 2-1 win. Everton could have scored the equalizer in the last minutes actually but De Gea made an incredible save and prevented the goal. Iwobi and Antony's goals were really impressive by the way. Antony broke a club record also as he was the first player to score in his first three league games at Manchester United.

It was nice to see Ronaldo scoring and finishing his series without a goal finally. I hope we can see him in the starting eleven next time instead of Martial. He should be given more chances in league games.

Nothing to worry about that game. Everyone reacted like United sucks all over again, and I get it they did suck at the start of the year but remember how Arsenal started last year and finished at which place.

I mean United is 5th right now in a league where Liverpool is 10th, it’s hard to realize for some Liverpool fans but this is not acceptable, not just "we are having bad slump" levels but seriously wrong on so many levels. United just lost to City, maybe one of the best teams assembled ever, that’s normal and there is really nothing to worry about, there never was. They are doing a lot better now and should be going strong for the next weeks as well.

Mohammed Salah is really having difficult time in the premier league this season with relenting efforts from the Egyptian. Liverpool are in big mess this summer after selling one of their best player, Sadio Mané to bayern Munich and they thought that they could play well without him. One can't compare Erling Haaland to Salah this season because Mohammed Salah is not active in games and Haaland scores in every single game this season.

[SatoPrincess]

Ronaldo has scored his first Premier League goal this season. But this goal was also the 700th goal of his club career. Ronaldo will never be happy this season. They're not in the Champions League, Manchester United have no Premier League title claim this season, and worse, Messi is starting to beat him in some statistics. Ronaldo has been having a nightmare season. It would have been better for him to go to the Arab or Chinese League instead of having an aimless season with Manchester United. It wouldn't be a surprise to me if he was transferred to a team playing in the Champions League during the winter transfer season.

If it's only about reputation and glory, maybe you are right, Messi is much better now than Ronaldo, who has only scored goals in the Premier League after 8 matches in the Premier League. The first goal saw him score 700 goals at the club level. Meanwhile, Messi has 691 goals at the club level.

Regardless of all that, I think at this time Manchester United can still be in the 5th standing and better than Liverpool who is sinking with their declining performance. Next week Manchester also has to be more careful because Newcastle so far has made a lot of changes plus both will determine who deserves to be in the top 5 positions at the top of the standings.

You would say Messi is better than Ronaldo this season because he gets more playing time. It's not entirely Ronaldo's fault that he is not getting games as he ought to but gradually he will get back into the starting eleven and prove you all wrong. Hopefully his winning goal against Everton will see him start the game against Newcastle in the weekend I hope he scores again.

Manchester City and Arsenal are playing very well. I don't think either team will lose until the game between them.  Manchester City has an excellent striker like Haaland. Arsenal's job is really tough. The defensive line will have to do its job well. The struggle between them will be a battle for leadership. If Arsenal win, the league race will become even more exciting.

At the start of the season, I thought, Man United would be a big team down and a comedic team again like the previous season. However, it turns out that Man United's achievements are somewhat better. On the other hand, the worst teams turned out to be Liverpool and Leicester City. They are a big club, but always under-performance when playing. And unfortunately they often miss the chance to win.
At the moment, their position is really bad, even Leicester City are the bottom club in the table.
Now, Man Uited is at the 5th ranks and comete with Chelsea to get the 4th position for champion league qualification.

It is too early to talk about the continuation of the league because there is longer time and the positions in the league will change a lot. Speaking of their current performance, I can be clearly stated that Leicester City disappointed me as well. They were the last team in the league while waiting for them to get better. Manchester United, on the other hand, want to forget their Manchester City defeat. They suffered a heavy defeat. If there is a team that will mark this year, it will be Manchester City.

So far I still expect Aston Villa to be stronger under Gerrard, because at the time of Gerrard's arrival last season Aston Villa looked to be making promising progress this season. But maybe it will take some time for them, today Aston Villa will play away against Nottingham and I think this will be the right moment for Aston Villa to get the full points. Although I also can't underestimate Nottingham but because of their position in the standings where Aston Villa are still outside the relegation zone, then Aston Villa should be able to play with better morale as well.

Aston Villa performed well last season under Stephen Gerrard I'm surprised with the level they are performing this season. They have good and talented players in the squad just like Newcastle has but their performance level is no where close to that of Newcastle, it could be true that Gerrard is not good enough to manage the team and improve their performance and if these poor performances go on I think he might be sacked soon.

In this case Leicester is worse than any big club.
Although indeed in this case Leicester cannot be called a big club, but when you look at their clear rankings in previous seasons they have always been around the Champions League or Europa League.
But this season they are completely different and become clowns because there are so many changes in their club such as the loss of several key players and the loss of a leader on the field.

[AakZaki]

After the game, Ten Hag was not happy because the players always lost the ball away easily and couldn't press to get possession back.
Overall happy but not perfect. Big three points, All that matters

The haters will sleep crying, Cristiano is back. Congrats on his 700 goals.
Antony is the first player in Manchester United to score in three consecutive games in EPL.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Antony is the best player on the pitch.

When he scored I was so happy and sad. How he celebrated, he described a smug smile. How his hands were there and followed Anthony. I think it illustrates how he was so happy after the goal was made. Martial's injury seemed to make a blessing for Ronaldo. Coming off the bench, he proved he could still score. Although he seemed to have to be sober, he didn't fully support his wishes. Old age has begun to come and he should be able to accept he will become a legend.
