Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[MAAManda]

City did it, in the last minute. Haaland is once again the man of the match. They win with 10 man and Haaland with record: scored goal in 6 home games in a row, no matter it was a penalty. So City are now back on 1st place in the league. Chelsea play vs Arsenal tomorrow, so 1st place can stay for City.

Well, they (Manchester City) were lucky to get a penalty at the end of the game, I didn't see the game again in the 80th minute because I thought this game would end in a draw, so I don't know how Manchester City got their saving penalty.

Overall, Manchester City played quite badly in this match, I hope they won't have this kind of performance again in the next matches. FYI, we still have another interesting match in another league (Serie A) between Atalanta and Napoli, let's watch and don't forget to bet, LOL.

Cancello almost cost his team with an unlikely result against Fulham, but Halaad came in as sub and rescued his team to secure all 3 points thanks to a last minute penalty to put pressure on Arsenal. The premier league is really getting competitive and it seems today was raining goals everywhere, is this because of the world cup and players want to impress their home coaches who are likely to be watching?  

It was a little disappointing for Manchester City today and even with the Erling Haaland. I don't know but, I did put my money in this game and having to watch Haaland being so tensed at the penalty shoot although, that's what that kind of moment produces. A lot of tension as it's the big decimal for the game and you don't yet a second chance, Haaland almost delivered the ball right into the hands of the goalkeeper. The good thing is, the ball managed to slide in else, Fulham would have gotten there draw.
As for how Haaland performed, it wasn't his best but given the fact that he was just appearing from injury, he did good and was in the game. I hope they get better in there next one.

[Inwestour]

Yes, Manchester City are very lucky in this match. They were awarded a penalty in stoppage time due to the carelessness of Antonee Robinson who violated De Bruyne in the restricted area. Haaland, who was shown to be the executor, was able to carry out his duties well. This additional three important points brought The Citizens to the top of the standings.

I really admire the struggle of the players and Guardiola's tactics in this match after Joao Cancelo's red card. Kevin De Bruyne and his friends really showed the mentality of being a true champion, they were able to fight and launch a barrage of attacks into the heart of Fulham's defense, although Fulham were also very good at anticipating it. And the entry of Haaland is also very influential and a differentiator, he shows his class as a world-class predator and is able to tear apart Fulham's defense.

After the red card, Manchester City could have a big problem, because Fulham can play well in defense. But they lacked only a few minutes to earn a point in this match, Haaland scored this winning penalty. Haaland had also scored before that, but the goal was overruled by VAR due to offside. After the final whistle, Cancelu was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Leeds 4:3 Bournemouth FT...

I didn't understand how this match went, I was actually watching Manchester City match and following theirs with livescores. Leeds was able to score an early goal before 5mins. They were paused there by Bournemouth and Bournemouth scored 3 goals, making it 1:3.
I was surprised to notice the match was later won by Leeds at 4:1 and I checked there was no red card. Watdahfck happened?

[bitgolden]

League is getting a bit more entertaining that part is definitely true. Even though City built a great team, when you look at the league and the rankings you see that everyone is a bit more closer this year compared to last, or at least looks like that.

Previous years we would see City and LFC just going up, and everyone else was just fighting for third, and not many neither, it would be just 2 teams or max 3 teams, rest would be boring. Look at it now, this year it looks like I am not guaranteeing United not being champions, sure they won't be but that is not really 100% guaranteed. That type of season is always more entertaining, even if City ends up being champions again, they would be getting it harder this year.

Well this may indeed be said to be lucky for Manchester City because the KDB movement was violated by Robinson at 90+5 which allowed them to make 3 points at home.
They had a bit of a hassle when playing with 10 men even though in this case they controlled the game but saw their chances were far compared to shot on target because of the meeting of fullham players in this match.

They were really very good defensively and I have to admit that, apart from the red card in this game Manchester City as expected dominated the game although were a bit distracted by their lack of players due to Cancelo leaving.
On the other hand Fulham really defended in this match but indeed the player advantage made them look a little stronger even though in the last minute there was a foul which was very unfortunate and actually this was not really needed.
Manchester City are back on top for a while as Arsenal will play tomorrow.

It was a 7 goal drama shown by both teams. I looked at their match stats and it was goals scored by Leeds and Bournemouth. Leeds managed to win in the last 2 matches, but for Bournemouth it exacerbated their winless streak in their last 5 matches and also made them the team that conceded the most goals until week 13. I don't understand how their defense works to create so many goals like that.

Let's see how Arsenal's match tomorrow goes because the outcome will determine whether Arsenal can still challenge for the title.

If a team wants to become a champion, it has to win such matches. City showed us once again today that it is the biggest contender for the championship. There might not have been a penalty and they could have ended the game with a loss of points, but the game was over and 3 points were added to the table. Sometimes the championship can even come with 1 point. That's why this game is so important. The leaders right now, let's see if Arsenal can take back their place. I can't blame Fulham for not winning the match against Manchester City. Even if there are 10 left, they still have a huge level advantage.

[trendcoin]

Manchester City took an important win today because they got a red card almost at the start of the match. They played 64 minutes with ten football player today. Achieving this is not an easy thing. So no matter what, I think Manchester City did a great job today... Also, Haaland scored his 23rd goal this season for Manchester City (Premier League + Champions League). Taking responsibility in the last minute of the match is a good thing for a striker like him. He is very young but very brave and tough as steel...

[Velvet78]

Manchester City had a really problematic day indeed but they still managed to get the win by 2-1. Cancelo's getting that red card has made things more difficult for the team. Technically Manchester City were still much stronger than their opponent and I thought that they would get the win comfortably anyway.

But the winning goal came really late. Thanks to Haaland's penalty goal in the last moments, they won the game. It was really great to see Haaland scoring a goal right after recovering from his injury. If it weren't for him maybe this game could have ended in a draw.

[Zaguru12]

Man City were very lucky to get out with all point. Fulham deserved even a point In the game. They had City on there toes after Cancelo Red card. Now city are with out any senior full back. Fulham didn't only lose the game but will be without both Reid and Tete for there next game due to suspension as both picked there fifth consecutive yellow cards of the season. Fulham played well but they weren't creating chances just 3-4 attempts in the whole game was bad for them. I was thinking they would be a little bit proactive when City was 1 man down. As for City I feel they really had hard win today surprisingly not what everyone thought would happen but they actually fight over to take all three points thats how Champions response in games like this. The win today makes it 15 wins in  a row at Home, its now becoming a fortress for them.

That type of season is always more entertaining, even if City ends up being champions again, they would be getting it harder this year.

Manchester City is one of the clubs that prepared ahead of this season and if you have been following events in football competitions since last season you will know how man city has maintained a consistent improvement in performance.
So I am not surprised at their present performance as Manchester City is leading strongly behind Arsenal in the premier league this season, and also if you check Manchester city's performance in the championship you will see how the club's performance has been since last season.
One thing Manchester City did well pre-season was building a strong team.

[Google+]

Pep Guardiola's decision to include Haaland in the second half was the right decision, for some reason I didn't like it when Julian Alvarez played as a striker. He was good out and was replaced by Haaland. Currently the score in this match is still 1 - 1, a goal scored by Haaland in the 74th minute was ruled out by the referee after seeing VAR. Looks like we will really see a draw in this match.

If Manchester City get a draw, this is a very good sign for the Chelsea Vs Arsenal match, as Arsenal will be playing very seriously to get 3 points off Chelsea to go higher in the EPL standings.

City did it, in the last minute. Haaland is once again the man of the match. They win with 10 man and Haaland with record: scored goal in 6 home games in a row, no matter it was a penalty. So City are now back on 1st place in the league. Chelsea play vs Arsenal tomorrow, so 1st place can stay for City.

I'm at a loss for words seeing Haaland performance and quality in that match. he is like an alien because he came on as a substitute but he managed to be man of the match in the match against fulham. Even if Haaland wasn't caught offside he managed to contribute two goals in this match. Manchester City appeared quite impressive in this match where they were able to dominate all lines quite well. but fulham can provide good fighting power in this match because they were able to withstand the onslaught of attacks from manchester city players but at the last minute haaland was able to score a goal for manchester city victory. The achievement of 3 points in this match made Manchester City back to the top of the standings.

[Smartvirus]

Manchester City had a really problematic day indeed but they still managed to get the win by 2-1. Cancelo's getting that red card has made things more difficult for the team. Technically Manchester City were still much stronger than their opponent and I thought that they would get the win comfortably anyway.

I don't think they were any string after the Cancelo red card. They played a much frightened football and you could see Fulham being very offensive. Ake's wing was constantly under pressure although, you could sense that Manchester City could win but not easily as we would have hoped. Its a good thing Pep made some early changes in brining in Erling Haaland and Foden. They both came on, gave the team the boost they needed to exert some more pressure on the Fulham team and we had them being more on the defensive side than attack. KDB was realy wise to have created that penalty opportunity and Erling Haaland took the headline from there on.

[BIT-BENDER]

Halaand has score 18 goals in this short period in the English premier league and her has even matched Cristiano Ronaldo English premier league goal tally last season and Cristiano Ronaldo was Manchester United highest scorer.

Definitely Erling Halaand is different but I don't know if I am the only one noticing Manchester city are dropping form. Typical Manchester city would have put this game against Fulham to bed early.

[Avirunes]

The game was very interesting, and as I said earlier, it would not be an easy three points for Manchester City, as we saw. Manchester City were very fortunate to have a last-minute penalty or they would have ended up sharing points at home against Fulham; the red card received by Manchester City has contributed to theeir performance even though they still took control of the entire game, they lack full confidence of getting the three points, but in the end they now lead Arsenal by one point. Let's see how Arsenal's match tomorrow goes because the outcome will determine whether Arsenal can still challenge for the title.

Fulham had a chance when Cancelo was red carded and they scored a goal. For most part of the match they had some good attacks and gave City a good scare. Ultimately Robinson made a mistake who seemed sloppy in the ending minutes and that costed them in the end. Still they fought well today as another goal would have made things very difficult for City.

It's now important for Arsenal to win yesterday's game and given how they are playing, I hope they really play out their best in tomorrow's game.

[SatoPrincess]

Manchester City have managed to come out victorious in the game today, all thanks to Haaland's late goal in the 95th minute to secure the win for city. It was a really tough game for Manchester City, Fulham played very well and were impressive defensively through out the game it is disappointing that in the end they lost all three points to City. Manchester City now move a point ahead of Arsenal in the table.

[Marykeller]

Man City were very lucky to get out with all point. Fulham deserved even a point In the game. They had City on there toes after Cancelo Red card. Now city are with out any senior full back. Fulham didn't only lose the game but will be without both Reid and Tete for there next game due to suspension as both picked there fifth consecutive yellow cards of the season. Fulham played well but they weren't creating chances just 3-4 attempts in the whole game was bad for them. I was thinking they would be a little bit proactive when City was 1 man down. As for City I feel they really had hard win today surprisingly not what everyone thought would happen but they actually fight over to take all three points thats how Champions response in games like this. The win today makes it 15 wins in  a row at Home, its now becoming a fortress for them.

Fulham was given the opportunity to win and if you can't win just draw but they went ahead and lost. This kind of opportunity wouldn't have passed to a well-organized team. A very organized team would have won against Manchester City comfortably with a red card.

Manchester City is seriously grinding out a victory despite all odds in the premier league. That's the character of a true champion. That's what Manchester City shows in today's match against Fulham.
