Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Alanaz]

Manchester united coach will definitely get it right after the FIFA world cup to bring in new talented striker that will assist the team to improve in the area of attacking which is the major challenge Manchester united are facing right now. I believe, after the break Manchester united and Liverpool game will definitely change positively, because their fans are not happy the way their points is not increasing like the way Manchester city and Arsenal points is increasing every match. I think, Manchester united strikers will improve more after the FIFA world because some of their players in their national team are doing well in this FIFA world to show that there will be hope of improvement after the break.

I don't see it this way, the match and players would continue as it was before the world cup, that's my disposition about this. Although Erik Ten Hag is an experienced coach, nonetheless, that does not change the fact that he would have been studying talents even before the world cup, nothing changes as far as I'm concerned. New international players making their first appearance in the world cup are not many and might not be within his reach. So I believe the Man U and Arsenals' rivalry would be as same as before world cup, at least for this season.

But the players in the Manchester United squad showed something positive during this World Cup, Bruno Fernandes for example, he became one of the players who managed to shine with the Portugal national team. Of course that will be a positive signal that he will bring to his team after this World Cup is over. Even though it is now widely rumored that he is one of the players that Real Madrid is looking for, I doubt that Manchester United will let him go.

I was expecting Chelsea to get Ronaldo here in the Premier League but from what we are witnessing as only voices he may be playing for a team in the Saudi Premier League and get a huge payment and honestly if I were him I would accept that offer of course for the money as he is in the end of his career and at this time money matters and a lot.

I don't think Arsenal needs any reinforcement based on the team that they have but surely Manchester United needs someone so this guy of the PSV maybe a good addition to them,I also think that Newcastle needs a top scorer and Ronaldo would have been a nice buy for them also,they have the power now to afford such player.

If indeed Ronaldo is ideal at Chelsea, maybe Chelsea will reactivate Hakim Ziyech because he is now not like the Chelsea manager dug. At the World Cup Ziyech still has the potential for Chelsea to prioritize. And I think Ronaldo will definitely have a pretty good partner.

But the problem is that currently, the rumors regarding the Saudi Arabian club are much more prominent with Ronaldo. I don't know if this will be a unanimous decision or is it still just a rumor. What's more, Chelsea also needs a big break to be able to survive with the increasingly competitive English Premier League competitors.

It looks like Chelsea won't get themselves into trouble with Ronaldo and it's impossible for them to buy Ronaldo because maybe the factor of age is not too young anymore so that performance and play are not optimal, whereas if Saudi Arabia can afford to buy Ronaldo then that is their choice. Napoli are also reportedly interested in Ronaldo and Napoli also made it into the Champions League so it's possible that Ronaldo will be interested in Napoli's offer.

A few days ago I heard rumors that Bayern Munich is interested in signing Ronaldo this season. Bayern Munich needs the Champions League title. So Munich has the possibility to sign a 2-year contract with Ronaldo. Now there are rumors that the club of Saudi Arabia wants to take Ronaldo to the team. They have a lot of money. And they can afford Ronaldo's wages. On the other hand, even if Napoli is interested in Ronaldo now, I don't think they will spend that much money.

Manchester United must be looking for a sharp sticker, it is an urgent need that must be sought immediately. in my opinion, Cody Gakpo is the right choice to fill the attacker's position as a target man. Currently the position of the striker is not reliable enough, only Rashford has made a small contribution.

I'm sure Ten Hag will be able to find someone who remains to fill the void left by Ronaldo. Apart from that, Manchester United also have to look for several other players in the midfield and defender sector, because it must be admitted that this position is still not fully integrated.

Manchester United players are doing amazing performance into world cup which is surely positive thing and most chances they could be able to have same level performance in coming weeks as well for their club because now crucial part of this season is going to start and from here they need to give their best for achieving the best result until end of this season they are facing some into their attacking system and many are feeling Cody Gakpo is good for them but most chances PSV will not allow him in winter transfer window because he is key player for them in this season while they are struggling at third spot and things looking not easy for them and if they sell his main attacker then surely they can go down which is never been good.

Rumors about which team Cristiano Ronaldo will choose are wild balls. Starting from the news that Cristiano Ronaldo has officially joined Al-Nassr which was reported by the mainstream media, the issue of his return to Real Madrid, will return to Serie A and much more.
It is possible that Ronaldo will go to Chelsea if Chelsea really want him, even though the salary he will receive is not as big as that offered by the Arab club. Because, I still believe Cristiano Ronaldo will prioritize his achievements compared to money.

I had always been confident that if Arsenal can top the English Premier League table till after the World Cup they will be able to win the title League but I always give my conditions for saying so which is that the three Arsenal strikers should not be injured.
But looking at the present situation that one of the three strikers who is Gabriel Jesus is now injured, it is a very big blow to Arsenal and I wish they can find a way to replace Gabriel Jesus in the January open window before he gets back to his feet if not they may slide off the table.

If only one player is injured at Arsenal in a striker position, I'm sure the Arsenal team can find a replacement. After all, the Arsenal team itself also has other options with reserve players for the same position as Gabriel Jesus. This means that Arsenal will not be too stressed or overwhelmed when a striker is injured even though he is a player who is very often relied on in every game, and it would not be wrong if Arsenal had to put another player in Gabriel Jesus' position for a while.

Even if they were to lose several strikers due to injury, a change in strategy and formation should also help in the meantime. So far Arsnel have enough players in the striker position, so I don't think it matters if one of them is out due to a physical or other problem. Moreover, In football you can't always put players in out of position because the result will be grossly disproportionate. Some players may have the advantage of being able to play in multiple positions, but I don't think that will help the team play as well as expected.

Seeing Luis Diaz back in training is a great sign for us Liverpool fans.
Can't wait for the match against Man City however if we start performing poorly again after the World Cup we don't have many excuses!

[Fritwakky]

I'm actually worried about Manchester United more than Liverpool in the rest of the season. The reason for it is that I find Manchester United's attacking performance quite weak especially on the recent weeks of the league. They can't score goals comfortably. Their attackers are wasting so many goal opportunities which has cost them two or three points from time to time. Manchester United should find a solution to this problem. Maybe signing a striker would be helpful. They have parted ways with Ronaldo already.

Rashford and Martial seemed worrying in the recent times. If they don't show some positive performances after this break then they will really need the help of another striker. Garnacho is also there to help of course but we never know how consistent he can be. I can't fully trust him just because he saved them in a match. He is still a very young striker.

Manchester united coach will definitely get it right after the FIFA world cup to bring in new talented striker that will assist the team to improve in the area of attacking which is the major challenge Manchester united are facing right now. I believe, after the break Manchester united and Liverpool game will definitely change positively, because their fans are not happy the way their points is not increasing like the way Manchester city and Arsenal points is increasing every match.

So I believe the Man U and Arsenals' rivalry would be as same as before world cup, at least for this season.

The rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United will be great. If they meet after the World Cup, it is likely that both teams will perform as they did before the World Cup. I think players from both teams have gained experience from playing in the World Cup which we will see reflected for their clubs after the World Cup.

Of course that will be a positive signal that he will bring to his team after this World Cup is over. Even though it is now widely rumored that he is one of the players that Real Madrid is looking for, I doubt that Manchester United will let him go.

Bruno Fernandes has developed rapidly while defending Portugal at the 2022 world cup, for the good performance shown with his country made several top clubs interested in using his services. Real Madrid has been one of the clubs most linked with Bruno Fernandes, Real Madrid interest in Bruno Fernandes to have him as a replacement for the aging Modric.
However, Bruno Fernandes is not interested in accepting a proposal from Real Madrid because he is still happy with Manchester United and wants to help Manchester compete again for the EPL title.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Many people have changed their minds about Arsenal at the start of the season as a result of their impressive performance after a few games, which is correct.
Arsenal is not a team to underestimate in the Premier League this season. They may not have enough squad depth, but their first eleven are very serious and have the zeal to compete for the Premier League title this season. They can undoubtably surprise so many people by claiming the Premier League if they can maintain their performance, which I know they will try.

I would guess that I am still one of the few people who see that it's not going to be that possible for arsenal to actually get a win. I am not saying that it would be impossible to finish high up for them, they will for sure end in the top 4 without a top, but I see the win for City and not Arsenal.

They were already looking nice last year, I mean consider the fact that they were a the very bottom for the first few weeks, then they ended up finishing near the top, that shows that they were already on a good momentum and they are keeping that up now. But eventually City and their amazing consistency will make them win the title for sure without a doubt.

I don't know if you have seen a bit of speculation, but apparently when CR7 formally said goodbye from Qatar, someone from Srsenal was like hinting that he was going to go to Arsenal and made fun of Manchester, of course this is just something I read in an article, I don't know if it will be true, because there is still talk of him perhaps going to Real Madrid, however I would like him to go to Arsenal because I know he would be highly valued as a player and as a possible star there, besides the he will play very well, I don't think the technical director will treat him like Ten Hag, besides now, unless CR7 doesn't stop at all to go out to the media to go out and tell any truth.

The hardest part about the top four for other teams is that Liverpool is still there, and they are not sure what's going to happen. They are at 22 points with 14 games, assuming lets say it became 25 points with 15 games, that's 4 points away from top four.

Now, the question is that will they be moving forward with everything that they have and win more games than others and disrupt that top four and get in there? Or will they end up playing badly again and not get in there. If they somehow do get in top four, then it is Arsenal and City and Liverpool, leaving just one team available for there, and that's a tough question to answer. You never know, this is last years almost champions in both premier league and ucl, so anything could happen.

Liverpool will definitely improve higher after the break, because they will not allow that poor performance continue with them than to put more effort to ensure they score more goals to improve their points. I think, anything can still happen that will make Liverpool to return back to second position in this premier league table, because their players are very ready to apply strategies that will make them to achieve victory in their remaining matches. I don't think, Arsenal will continue with that first position in the premier league table after the break, because Manchester city will definitely collect that position after the FIFA world cup competition.

This season Liverpool have been trying to be consistent in the English premier league.  It is under probability to see Liverpool betting after the world cup. Liverpool is unpredictable this season   I'm not too sure if  performing can still maintain their performance after world cup.

That's true the team have very unstable preformence and they clearly proved this after defeating Manchester city, they have no other choice but restarting with better spirit and confidence after the world cup because i don't think the problem is in players quality or coach but they simply lost confidence after the bad results in the first rounds

Well, Liverpool for me is one of the teams that are best positioned with respect to the football they show, I know that many times they have fallen without knowing why, sometimes we speculate too much, other times the teams only lose because nature is like that to play, sometimes they do not understand each other well, or simply the players were all very tired, the reasons are many, but for me after the World Cup, Liverpool will recover much more than before, this 2023 will be very profitable for many teams, I know there will be some transfers, other sales and purchases, but I think Liverpool have it clear, Mo Salah has to do much better than before, I have no doubt about that.


Some rumors:

Liverpool set to terminate star’s deal despite impressive start to the season

Liverpool are ready to terminate Marcelo Pitaluga’s loan deal with non-league outfit Macclesfield, despite the 19-year-old making a strong impression during the first half of the campaign.

The reason for this is said to be a result of the goalkeeper suffering ankle ligament damage and the Brazilian youngster will now return to his parent club Liverpool for treatment, reports Football Insider.

Pitaluga joined Macclesfield on loan this summer in order to gain more experience as Liverpool’s first two goalkeepers will play all of their matches.

However, Bruno Fernandes is not interested in accepting a proposal from Real Madrid because he is still happy with Manchester United and wants to help Manchester compete again for the EPL title.

Bruno Fernandes is far better for Manchester United than Real Madrid. I would support him staying at Manchester United rather than moving to Laliga even if Real Madrid showed interest in him. Real Madrid probably won't be putting Bruno as their top priority to replace Benzema, but I think there are a few other names they could really consider once the World Cup is over.

Manchester United have made Bruno Fernandes their key player. After all, right now Manchester United have lost Ronaldo from their squad and this has made Bruno Fernandes even more needed. I also don't think Buruno will be interested in switching clubs anytime soon, I think Manchester United is home for him.

In the Premier League, the two teams cannot be said to compete with each other because their performance is very different
Based on points, Manchester United are 11 points behind, if you talk about on fire the players from both teams are on fire
But sometimes the problem is they don't find the same partner in the team Bruno Fernandes for example not very impressive on the team.

I doubt with Arsenal consistency without have Gabriel Jesus after confirming injured with his national team and absent until World Cup 2022 over, seems Arsenal have already if loss Gabriel Jesus and need to find who are the best replacement choose for position leaving by Gabriel. Arsenal actually still have potential player at World Cup with Bukayo Saka but he has different position with Gabriel Jesus.

Manchester City still lucky team right now in Primer League because their player Kevin De Bruyne have eliminated from World Cup, but still have potential with other player like João Cancelo worry will injured or not. Several team in Primer League have many their player existing in World Cup, just hope and pray they can back to the team without injury.

I decline to imagine Jesus was the only reason they got so good so far, I mean he is a good player but he didn't turn this club from 5th to premier league leaders all by himself, it was a team effort and of course it is not good that he is injured, hope he will come back soon so we could see a title race instead of City bulldozing everyone on their path and get another title, that has become a bit boring.

But, I think even without Jesus that still means Arsenal will play decently, and if they could get a good decent striker that might work very well for them but only possible if Jesus is out for rest of the season or something, if not then they will wait for him.

It's actually a good thing that your team players are regulars with there country but have we look at the downside of it. This players could get injured major example is the Gabriel Jesus injury scare, although not yet confirmed but it will surely affect Arsenal if it is true. Another side is fatigue could easily set in and would accept the team with many fixtures coming up after the world Cup.

Another side is fatigue could easily set in and would accept the team with many fixtures coming up after the world Cup.

Regarding the possibility of injury, I think that every player will always be at risk of injury in a match when the opponent tends to play rough during the match. I also think that the fatigue factor will cause players to experience a higher chance of injury due to not having enough rest time. World cup matches do drain a lot of energy because the matches are very intensive, and here the coach must be able to manage everything so as not to harm the players.

Several Arsenal players are currently still defending England in the quarter-finals. The match against France will certainly be very tiring, but I'm sure it won't harm the players let alone get injured. And I really hope that every player returns to their respective teams healthy and without injury problems. There weren't many matches left, this only left a few matches until they played for the final.

You are right if Gabriel Jesus is injured Arsenal will face special problems. Because Gabriel Jesus is a great offensive player. This year's World Cup matches have very few rest days due to which the players can get extremely tired and this will have an impact on various clubs after the World Cup.

[Pulsar77]

Brighton haven't been doing well since Graham Potter left the team. They have played 8 matches with De Zerbi's management so far in the league. They won only twice and lost 4 of them. They got those wins in their last a few matches actually but this is still not a promising form at all. Of course there will be some adaptation process to a new manager. But if Potter stayed I believe they would have a much better run in the rest of the season as well. Potter's game plan was running like clockwork there unlike at Chelsea.

He hasn't been able to make it work with Chelsea much yet. They have got so many negative results due to being unproductive in most of the matches. Potter is making a lot of money now of course. It is one of the most valuable contracts for a manager in history. But if he doesn't manage to make this team play stronger until the end of the season he might not be tolerated as much as Tuchel. Because Tuchel had very successful times with the team and his departure was due to a completely different reason.

I'm curious why the competition between Arsenal and Manchester United will become big because even though their positions in the standings are very different, but if it's about the big match then that's for sure. But for big competition, I personally cannot compare them because their positions in the standings are different, although indeed, in their first match or first meeting this season, in fact, Manchester United could beat Arsenal with a score of 3-1.
But with that defeat at least Arsenal can still be at the top of the standings so far, which means that that big defeat is not a big problem for Arsenal either.

Unless Arsenal lose their best form and continue to fall, then maybe the competition in the standings between the two will get closer.
However, I also realize that Arsenal's position is still not completely secure and could continue to decline over time because the gap is still close. If later Arsenal and Manchester United compete for the fourth position in the standings, then of course it will be a big competition, but if the position in the standings is still like this I think the competition might be normal and only matches that are titled big matches.
