Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[KTChampions]

Since Sir Alex Ferguson left, Manchester United experienced many setbacks. even the coach who was chosen directly to replace Ferguson's position, namely "David Moyes", was only able to last 10 months from his initial 6-year contract. I'm not a fan of The Red Devils, but I like some of their star players. such as, Eric Cantona, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Ryan Giggs, David Backham, Rooney. after that, Man United was no longer interesting to watch, as was the case after the retirement of the professor Arsene Wenger. Arsenal were in their heyday, when Thierry Henry and his friends. the Van Persie era, not so interesting. in the end, these two clubs are not that interesting to me anymore.

Currently, Manchester United is a little better under Erik Ten Hag as the new coach. even though at the start of the season, Ten Hag did not give what fans of The Red Devils expected. but gradually, Manchester United's pattern and game began to develop. Under Ten Hag, Man United had high hopes, just not this season. if lucky, Ten Hag can win a Europa League Trophy. but not for the Premier League.

United's main problem is not the coach or the players. Ronaldo, in his famous interview, talked a lot about how United lagged behind the leading clubs in infrastructure. All those years that have passed since the (first) departure from United, other clubs have developed, and when Ronaldo returned to United, he saw everything that was before his departure. United were once the top but at some point they stopped developing and now they are far from those positions and their sports results are natural.

I wonder what Chelsea is planning to do for the rest of the season. Because it has been a terrible run until now. They have dropped down to the 8th place in the standings by getting many poor results lately. It's like Tuchel's departure has made things even worse for their performance. It's Potter's first experience with such a big team of course. He must have thought that his strategies at Brighton would work with Chelsea also but it hasn't worked at all. It's just dragged them down more in the league.

Even Brighton destroyed them in one of their recent games by a huge score. Even a striker transfer in January might not be enough to get better. Because obviously the problem is about the current strategies. Potter has plenty of time to think about some other solutions to this. It's like Chelsea are back in their terrible run which they experienced many years ago.

[izsara]

As far as I know the management of Manchester United said it would not be active in the upcoming transfer market they prefer to wait for next season
The reason is because almost all players are still under contract so there are no many choices but because Ronaldo will move, there is no other choice they must immediately find a replacement and Cody Gakpo is a decent figur.

But with the evidence that they are targeting Gakpo now, it looks like this is just a maze because they really don't have a choice, especially when they have to improve their attack line.
I personally feel they will still be looking for one or 2 players later even though they are not as active as they were in the previous transfer but passive now is definitely not a good choice I think.

Eddie Howe has a big responsibility in the other half of the season as well. They have gone beyond the expectations so far by reaching the third position in the standings. It is going to be really difficult for them to hold onto this position. Of course teams like Liverpool and Chelsea are having inconsistent times and this is helping Newcastle a lot on one hand.

However this half of the season could be much more different. I wait for Liverpool especially to pull themselves together. Newcastle need to keep their motivation level as high as possible. If they qualify for the Champions League it wouldn't be difficult for them to make big signings.

Manchester United are pushing for Gakpo transfer to make their attacking line more active and capable. They have been struggling with some issues there for some time. They need to stay as productive as possible to make their goal come true in this season. Qualifying for the Champions League is really important for them.

Manchester United are a big team and they don't deserve to struggle this much. They already have great players to be successful in the league. While some big teams are having bad days this is just an opportunity for Manchester United to take advantage of.

PSV are already a side awaiting all of these transfer saga, they are open to let Gakpo leave PSV

It has also been rumoured that Man United consulted Netherland manager for his permission to make the signature of Gakpo.

Since they are already out of the World Cup, the agent will make moves for the push of a new club entirely.

Looking at the current conditions, regardless of whether they will survive or not, it doesn't really matter because the main goal this season is just to disrupt and become the underdog, while the later achievements, if they can get to the top 4, are clearly more achievements, which I actually don't think they will either. plan this beforehand.
But with the current conditions actually to be more greedy by continuing to be consistent is a good thing for them.

Man utd problems are the owners of the club. They care only for money and how to make large profit and arent even intrested in making the club better. There is a lot of negativity in the club that needs to change really fast so that the team can go back to the old glory days

I don't even think like that. If the owner do care with money and then MU will not be buying some players with 100 millions price in average. That's crazy that MU has been wasting some billions USD for nothing. I think that MU's owner was not money oriented here.
The glaze family has been selling MU caused by the financial condition didn't support glazer family to do that spending huge amounts of money for MU. Ten hag has been buying some great players last season.
I think that what you were saying above didn't suit with the fact that already happened before. MU was also wanna buying cody with huge price as well.

Yep, there's a new rumor if they want to sign new strikers for around 80 Million Euro in this season too.

I don't understand why people are blaming to Ronaldo if he will make Manchester United perform bad later? I mean most of Premier League matches are played without Ronaldo and Manchester United can climb up to 5th position, if Ronaldo out, there's no any problem for Manchester United right? it will be same and Ten Hag has a lot option to choose which players will play.

If Ronaldo out and next match Manchester United is keep losing, this mean the problem is from the coach.

Isn't this already an open secret and indeed there are some fans who don't like it even from the previous few seasons but until now things like that still happen and the Glazer Family is still the leader until now.
On the other hand, currently there are actually some rumors about those who want to sell Manchester United, but until now this news seems to have disappeared.

[Jody.Drummer]

Manchester United have indeed planned a lot of changes in the upcoming transfer market, it depends on how they will face obstacles or not. Because most of the players they are after are also players that other big clubs are after. Cody Gakpo, for example, apart from Manchester United, Liverpool are also reportedly eyeing this player.
Manchester United needs a lot of changes to restore the title of a feared club in the Premier League. Erik Ten Hag has taken steps that are expected to quickly make Manchester United even stronger. I actually didn't think Manchester United would be that fast in doing it, considering that now many Premier League clubs have also improved very significantly.

As far as I know the management of Manchester United said it would not be active in the upcoming transfer market they prefer to wait for next season
The reason is because almost all players are still under contract so there are no many choices but because Ronaldo will move, there is no other choice they must immediately find a replacement and Cody Gakpo is a decent figur.

Indeed, for the beginning and several statements a few months ago they said that they would be passive but it seems that Ronaldo's departure also needs to be replaced and I think there will be several other players who will enter later even though they said they would be passive for this transfer.
Some time ago there have been rumors about Gakpo and it is not impossible that there will be several other players who will become targets for Manchester United again in the future.

On the other hand, this can also be used to make a new statement, which for several seasons, the officials at Manchester United have always been said to be stingy and they need to bring in several players so that this stigma doesn't come again.

I wonder what Chelsea is planning to do for the rest of the season. Because it has been a terrible run until now. They have dropped down to the 8th place in the standings by getting many poor results lately. It's like Tuchel's departure has made things even worse for their performance. It's Potter's first experience with such a big team of course. He must have thought that his strategies at Brighton would work with Chelsea also but it hasn't worked at all. It's just dragged them down more in the league.

Isn't this the same Graham Potter that everyone was praising in the first five games of his takeover at Chelsea that saw Chelsea went on an unbeaten run that saw them progress out of the group stage of the champions league that many thought they won't make it out and will be playing in the Europa league by now. Many fans are just blaming potter without realizing he has been without some players due to injury but thankfully they'll all be fit after the world cup. There's no doubt that the form at Chelsea has been poor but all that will change after the world cup.

Graham Potter has some God strategy as he can easily adjust form  a 3-5-3 formation to any other one and adopt to the game. We have seen that countless of times and this goes to show how technically sound the manager is. What he needs now is just time and his players fully fit. We saw the likes of Reece James training which goes to say, he's now fit and will be ready for the remainder of the season. Chelsea will cause a shocker this season and it'll be positive, either we'll be among the top 4 or even win the title.

Manchester united really need someone that will handle the attacking very well so that there will be increase in points and goals after the FIFA world cup competition because their fans are not happy about their position in the premier league table. I believe, Manchester united will get it right by bring in a new talented striker that will be more active like Benzema Real Madrid striker., If Manchester united managements can sign in Benzema to replace cristiano Ronaldo, I think it will change Manchester united performance.

Graham Potter lacks a profile, which is why Chelsea supporters don't give him enough credit. His five games at Chelsea were unquestionably a solid start for him and significant to the team overall. Then, because he lose  several games, he came under criticism. Fans need to learn to be patient with this manager, in my opinion, as he is currently making plans to make his desired player purchases in January. If he didn't perform well, we can now demand his dismissal. I am aware that Chelsea doesn't have much patience with their managers; as soon as they don't deliver as promised, they fire them. And that sort of behavior is common among the fans. Graham Potter needs time to adjust, as Brainboss previously stated.

If we look at MU lineup,

^{source: google}

They lost important players who competed in the World Cup. So, this might be used by Ten Hag to keep MU players physically fit  for who are not playing in World Cup. this results proven if MU not ready to play with their young, bench and reserves team as starting XI. but, this matches will become a great input for Ten Hag to buy some players on this winter transfer.

Rashford is gone? I did not know that he was injured or anything, I thought he was healthy, if he is ready to play by the time United gets their first game, he will be their striker for sure, they have used him instead of Ronaldo, and put Martial in late game after Rashford was tired and it worked out for them.

In fact, so much so that they literally did this when Ronaldo was there, instead of using him, they used Rashford and Martial later on during games. Aside from that I agree with this lineup, sure use some of the young guys to get them some playing time and give a bit of rest for the older players like Burno Fernandes who we wall know will be in the line up.

Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and some of Manchester United players still defend their national team at world cup so you won't see them on this lineup moreover if Manchester United playing with full squad i am sure the results of match against Cadiz will be different but it wouldn't be a problem if they lose from this match because the main purposses why Manchester United playing for friendly matches during international break is because to maintain physical players so if the league starting again all of players are ready and in the good shape and regarding Rashford he has performing well with England so far he has scoring 3 goals on that tournament and today he will fighting against France on quarterfinal match and i am sure after world cup Rashford will resumes to playing well with Manchester United

Premier league is about to get started again as we wait for the world cup to be over.Arsenal are currently sitting on top of the table with five points clear above City who sit second,followed by Newcastle,and a bad news has come from world cup about Brazilian star man Gabriel Jesus being injured and will be out for about three months. This news is a very bad one for Arsenal because he is one of the reasons why Arsenal are ontop of the table now,and his absence my really affect their performances.
Nketiah will be the man to fill the space left by him.I pray his injury won't make Arsenal drop form.

True, Gabriel Jesus became a player who raised Arsenal's performance. Even though he has only scored 5 goals and 5 assists so far, his contribution to messing up the opponent's defense is really needed. With his speed he is always troublesome in the opponent's defense and it is not uncommon for him to be a player who is often violated when holding the ball. Arsenal will suffer losses due to injuries, but I hope the injuries are not prolonged.

Honestly the absence of Gabriel Jesus when the league resume will have a negative impact on Arsenal, he has been a workaholic and hardworking striker who always assisted the team defensively as well as a good ball dribbler and with 5 goals and 6 assist to his credit this season is a good statistic, unfortunately his injury is a big blow to Arsenal title bid sidelining with three months injury
will affect the team because I don't think Nketiah is capable enough to fill his role as a complete striker, alternatively Arteta might play Martinelli as the main striker while Nketiah comes as a substitute, Arsenal fans will feel bad with this latest news.

Yes, hopefully Arsenal can still maintain their performance because after all, I think all teams will always have the same risk for their key players getting injured. But indeed, the injury to Gabriel Jesus will greatly impact Arsenal's position at the top of the Premier League standings at this time.
But of course this incident can also be a valuable lesson for Arteta, because when a key player is injured, of course Arteta is required to make even more difficult rotations.

At least Arteta should be able to maintain good results until the end of the year, because after the World Cup the reality is that the English Premier League will restart which means they will restart before the transfer window opens.
Therefore, Arteta must be able to have the best way to be able to maintain Arsenal's performance at least until the end of the year. Because after that Arteta can make purchases of players, which are at least enough to replace or be able to strengthen their attack line due to the temporary absence of Gabriel Jesus.

So far Gabriel Jesus has been a very important player in the Arsenal team and Arsenal's excellent game so far, of course, has a very large share of Gabriel Jesus and with the absence of Gabriel Jesus of course it will greatly affect Arsenal's performance.
however it all comes back to Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta how to handle this.

and so far due to the world cup we can see players who have improved performance and also injured players, it will all have an impact when they return to their respective clubs, be it positive or negative changes.

Arsenal has great players like Martinelli which can keep up the attacking pressure on other teams,of course the absence of such an important player like Gabriel Jesus can have negative effects during his absence for the Arsenal team but I also agree that the coach will just handle it fine.

The fact that Arsenal is clearly ahead in points gives them the serenity to take every single game with calm and caution and thus increasing their chances exponentially to continue to do great and keep winning game after game which in the end will award them hopefully the title.

Hopefully it won't be a worse impact after Gabriel Jesus' injury but with him Martinelli can still be relied on even though it's not the ideal place for him but Arteta will definitely change strategy again in managing their squad rotation after one important player is injured.
I haven't read the full news how long it will take Jesus to recover but what is certain is that everything will need to affect Jesus.

In this case, of course Arteta must be able to maintain his usual after the World Cup there are always changes in players from some of his squad, only Arteta can overcome this so that when the English league starts again it doesn't reduce their performance so far.
But for me it's enough that it won't drop drastically, but there will be a balance in this case.

Jesus and Zinchenko was are City main team players who have become very important players in the Arteta team. For Guardeola, their absence is noticeable this season, did he really think that if so many important players left the team (remember Sterling went to Chelsea) his team's game would not change? But the season is not over yet, perhaps in the end it will turn out that he was right. )
