Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Pulsar77]

I see some people who are still staying positive about the possibility of Liverpool to become the champions. But it doesn't seem any realistic to me at all. Because their performance so far has been quite inconsistent and it has caused them to get far away from the leader. There is already a gap like 15 points now. It is possible mathematically but it doesn't seem like that from a logical point of view. There are two big contenders for the league title now. They are Arsenal and Manchester City.

Even if one of these contenders start playing badly and getting bad results the other one would be motivated to take advantage of the situation. Hence it would still be too hard for Liverpool to catch up with the leader. Klopp should just focus on maintaining a long-running winning streak to get into a strong shape again.

Yes, it's a tough job in the Champion's League, let alone meeting Real Madrid in the top 16. Of course, it will be difficult for Liverpool to face that match, but if Liverpool focus on the Champions League, there might still be a chance, even if it's hard, but if Liverpool catch up on the points left in the English league, it will be difficult. if Arsenal keep winning games,

Actually it is equally difficult for Liverpool to focus if the target is to win. Because Liverpool this season are still not strong enough to compete until the end in the Champions League. And to catch Arsenal's points in the Premier League also looks difficult. So that the most reasonable target for Liverpool this season is to be able to be in fourth place at the end of the season in the Premier League in order to get into the Champions League next season again.

I won't believe that Chelsea is done with the season as we can notice that their performance has dropped even though Chelsea play stable football in some of their matches this season. But in total their overall performance has been poor this season.

Chelsea still has the opportunity to improve their performance in the second half of the season so it will be more specific if everyone concludes Chelsea's performance when the second half of the season has started, because changes in the performance of each team when the second half of the season starts again will definitely occur and Chelsea will definitely make a better surprise in the second half of the season later.

They had a ton of chances to improve and they failed, I am guessing that Chelsea will keep on having hard time this season, but that's fine not every year is a good year and you need to have some bad years to hit the reset button. They just changed hands and the new owner may not be a great football mind and they may not have understanding how it works and just throw money at the problem until it's fixed.

One day they will realize that it's not going to be the case and they will have to find people who are a lot better at it than they are, and they will end up with a lot better results. This could take a while and I am guessing they will get better eventually.

It is very difficult for Liverpool to catch Arsenal who are at the top of the standings, the point difference is very far and the difference of 15 points is not easy to catch and it will not be possible either.
Arsenal currently has 37 points while Liverpool has 22, and that is a very big difference in points and chasing the top 4 is still possible. However, through intense competition, Liverpool's performance this season has been inconsistent and it is very unlikely to win the several competitions it has participated in.

Liverpool have lost a lot of points at the start of the season so catching up is clearly something that is difficult for them to do, I'm not even sure that Liverpool will be able to get into the top 4 zone at the end of this season, indeed Liverpool still have time in January to improve squad but isn't this opportunity also owned by other teams, so if the team above Liverpool also adds and strengthens their respective teams of course the final standings will not be much different as they are today, Tottenham, Manchester united and Newcastle are teams that potentially getting the last two tickets to the champions league so I think maybe next season we will see Liverpool will play in the UEL .

In whichever way, Liverpool is in trouble. Trying to win the Champions League to have direct ticket to the next season Champions league is difficult for Liverpool because they are not in their good form and many good clubs are in the context to lift the Champions League.
Trying to focus in the Epl to be able to enter is another hard task because clubs like Newcastle, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea are all above Liverpool. Liverpool  will need to overtake all these people to stand firm in top4. In all to the fight in Epl seems easier for them than Champions League.

Chelsea performance has not been really stable. Chelsea sacked Tuchel thinking that everything will become better so fast. Chelsea still has some talented players like Aubameyang yet they are not still consistent.  
Chelsea was not having patience to still to Tuchel.

There are still games left, and Chelsea could be in the middle of fixing things during this world cup break. They should also have an additional squad in the January transfer market to strengthen their attack line. Statistically, Chelsea only needs a striker who is reliable and provides a free choice for Graham Potter to show what he can give Chelsea, because if there is no improvement, Potter's fate may not last long.

I'm not sure why Chelsea chose to sign Aubameyang from Barcelona; he has less of a chance of succeeding in Premier League football because he lacks the necessary strength to work hard and get the ball past the defense the way he did for Arsenal in the past. Without these attributes, players like Aubameyang are worthless on the field. Chelsea must therefore add more attacking players and a striker to unleash their scoring potential, or else they will continue to struggle in the Premier League this year.

I don't think Aubameyang is the problem, because the former arsenal player has prove to be among the world class league of players, with lots of goals,in Germany and here in England when he was playing with arsenal,and the reason why Chelsea signed him was because of his form for Barcelona,which for me was a mistake from Barcelona side, but Chelsea should be patient with him because the change of coach didn't help his case but that doesn't mean Chelsea shouldn't sign another striker in January.

No big club is ready to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for the club you have to reconsider what he offers and what he doesn't, if the disadvantage are much more then he will be of no use to the squad. Most clubs are open for young players not even old player's at all. I do not think Real Madrid will consider the signature of Ronaldo.
Chelsea didn't deserve that win at all the best of best that night won and that was Newcastle who had a big one  before world Cup

I agree about signing Ronaldo. Not only is he old and probably will end his career as a professional footballer soon, but he is also demanding too much. I don't think anyone other than a Saudi Arabian club will agree to pay him a lot of money. At the moment it simply won't pay off, neither in advertising nor shirt sales.

Whether or not Ronaldo contributed to the squad on the field of play, he is a household name in and of himself. Because of his older age, it makes sense that major league teams would not want to sign Ronaldo. Instead, they need young players to bolster their squads and avoid making the same mistake Manchester United did by relying solely on one player's strength. The players placed their entire faith in Cristiano Ronaldo as their saviour, which didn't work out. Any team that wants to sign Cristiano Ronaldo now will have to be skeptical about it, regardless of how big or small the club.

What's important is if Graham Potter starts winning and having positive results all those talks of him being sacked will gradually get buried by the fans and the management. I understand that they need some improvement in the pitch for them to succeed which needs the player's who Graham Potter puts his trust in. But for now Chelsea needs a Sporting director honestly.

Chelsea are currently playing really badly. In the last five matches, they have not won a game. It is going to be interesting to see how they perform after the world cup ends. I don't know if they will actually be able to improve their performance. They need to bring in some players, some really skilled players to do that.

What I would like to know right now is whether the "really elite players" will be interested in moving to Chelsea? Especially considering the fact that Chelsea are performing really badly right now. Potter is not the one to be able to improve the situation in my opinion.

[Tony116]

I am an Arsenal fan, since being coached by Professor Arsene Wenger.
Arteta's presence at the Emirates Stadium brought a lot of hope to Arsenal fans. I like Arteta, he is a coach who is very ambitious but with the ideology of young players. So far Arteta has been able to bring his troops one step further by having a proven mentality. they have a strong bond between players, focus and solid teamwork.

Arsenal track record this season has been quite impressive, and I quite appreciate what Arteta has done for his young team. Now it has given rise to a lot of new hope amidst their consistency. I think they will change direction a little for the better, and it's not like last season. Arsenal has a lot of potential with the support of players who are so solid because apart from being young they are also not selfish in terms of sharing portions. Of course, it is not an easy thing for a coach to educate young souls, whereas Arteta has so far been quite successful in managing his team.

Arsenal is doing very well and one of the main reasons for that is the coach was given enough backup by the owners. And I also believe that Arsenal should be able to continue playing well and stay at the top of the table. They are giving some good hopes that they will be able to win the English Premier League title this season. We also have to remember that Arsenal are not participating in the Champions League. So they do not have any pressure like that, which Manchester City currently has. Arsenal also has five points advantage right now. But keeping that in mind Arsenal cannot take things easy. Otherwise, Manchester City is going to get ahead of them at any given time.

I don't think anyone other than a Saudi Arabian club will agree to pay him a lot of money. At the moment it simply won't pay off, neither in advertising nor shirt sales.

I know this will be the challenge Ronaldo will see after he leaves Manchester United, his age  is something that will make bigger clubs not to have interest in him. Ronaldo is not as good in performance like before,  spending huge amount of money to sign him in might result to nothing  .

[safari88]

There were still stories last year that Ronaldo might want to go to Manchester City. But after a phone call with Ferguson, he decided it would be better not to. I don't think he would be able to walk comfortably on the street in Manchester anymore. There are many people who love Ronaldo, but he also has many counterparts. It's strange that he hasn't got around to playing football at United this season, for someone who has been voted best footballer of the year for 3 years and has broken almost every record you can think of. Maybe a club like Arsenal/Chelsea would still be an option for him.

[Tumanggor]

liverpool is currently reportedly being sold by FSG and if that happens then we won't know what will happen to liverpool until this season is over

However, there are rumors that some of Liverpool's potential buyers come from middle eastern rich people. I think it's pretty good because usually middle eastern rich people are not stingy on spending on players (unlike the owners from US)

[Coyster]

Chelsea was not having patience to still to Tuchel.

The reason behind Tuchel's dismissal has been discussed here quite a lot of times, Tuchel wasn't sacked because Chelsea was struggling then, of course they were struggling but it was still very early on in the seaaon and he could have changed things later on. They won their second CL with him as manager, so they can definitely trust him to turn around their bad start and get at least a trophy.

Having said that, Tuchel was fired because there was a change of hierarchy at the club, Todd Boehly wanted to change things at the club and he decided to start with the manager whom he felt didn't have the same ideas with him. Graham Potter is definitely not an upgrade to Tuchel, but the management just had to hire him as he was their best choice available at that moment; i don't think Chelsea can be successful under Potter, thus i don't think he will last long in the club.

[Velvet78]

I wonder if Newcastle is thinking of making some new additions to the team in January. They have so much money to spend that they might not be patient until next summer. They are already doing a great job with their current squad of course. But it would still be better for them to strenghten it a little more to consolidate their position in the league.

Because we might watch a completely different second half in this season. They might face a bigger difficulty in case teams like Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea start playing stronger. Newcastle would need to fight harder to keep their presence in top 4.

Well, yes, Liverpool doesn't seem good enough to go all the way in the Champions League, but they are doing surprisingly better in CL than Premier League. And who knows, they might get better after the World Cup break. The decline in Liverpool started with the sale of Mane. Mane not only scores goals, but thanks to his sprint, he was feared in terms of defenses and did not leave any space behind.

There is also Thiago in the midfield. This guy does not work in the system of Klopp. He is very fragile and he is not possible to play continuously at that level. I feel like he will probably be injured long time. He is type of someone who breaks the rhythm of the team. We already know that he is not a dynamic football player.

My advice: a Mane-style wing and Thiago off in the midfield and a dynamic and penetrating midfielder. They can still manage to this and turn things around.

PSG may be ready to accommodate Ronaldo for the remainder of the 2022-2023 season. But I'm not entirely sure if the French giants will make a bid for Ronaldo, but financially and signing habits PSG tend to have some older players in their squad. Messi and Ramos are the two newest old players at PSG, so it is possible that PSG are also interested in signing Ronaldo.

If the transfer were to occur, then it would really be shocking. However, Newcastle also seems to be one of the most likely teams to propose to Ronaldo, the problem is only in the players.

Yea. I see where you are coming from, Newcastle have been playing very and have lot of players playing with high confidence and are focus on the work on hand,I understand when you say they should strengthen because Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool might pick form when the players return from world cup,and that might cause them champions League football so they should add more big names in case that come to true but you should understand if they bring in lot of stars right now it might disharmonies the dressing room and cause them decline of form.
