Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[rby]

Erik Ten Hag has now lost his chance in the transfer market which will close in less than 12 hours. Initially close to a deal to buy Sabitzer but we know the Glazers are getting in the way and don't agree to it. 

The good news is that Sabitzer deal to mufc has been confirmed, he joins on loan from Bayern and fills the Eriksen void so perfectly. Now against crystal palace, Erik has a fit martial, a rejuvenated Sancho, an on form rashford, Fred and a happy squad to choose from. With Weghorst also picking up at the right time and Antony jelly fine at rw; it should be a comfortable victory at old Trafford against crystal palace

I am happy to get this news that Sabitzer will be joining Manchester United. I have been thinking how Manchester United will be able to cope without Eriksen.
Eriksen injury is a warning to Erik ten Hag that he needs more players, especially to get Casemiro replacement because everyone saw how it was on United when he was on red card.

Manchester United has been doing great both in the league football and cup matches, the team has consistently showed a high level of preparedness to always win despite the 3:2 loss to Arsenal which was not really clear on whom to blame in the team, with the look of things I see Manchester United doing abundantly great because they dont seem to get tired soon, but they should learn how to convert more of their chances in any match to a success.

Difficult challenges lie ahead for Manchester United and that one in Europa League is the biggest test so far for them.They will be facing one of the best teams in Europe in an awesome form recently which is Barcelona.If they can win against them be it only one from the two games this will boost Manchester United morale and I am sure they will come back much more dangerous to the Premier League and win a lot of games.However the fact that Manchester United is not able to win games against teams like Crystal Palace says a lot about their inconsistency,I hope they recover but they should stop making such errors if in the end they want to be in the top 4 of the standings.

[Distraction]

Arsenal's main focus is on the Premier League championship of course. But this doesn't mean that they don't care about the Europa League much. They are actually eager to win as many matches as possible there also.

Because Arsenal are having their best season considering the recent years. Actually I don't even remember a season like this for them in the distant past. It has been like 20 years since they won the league title the last time. Their time has finally come and they don't want to screw up anything. But while they are doing this they would like to do their best in the Europa League also. This is a season that they can win even more than one championship so they should push it to the end.

[Rockstarguy]

Arsenal are now focusing on the Premier League after winning 5 points from Manchester City, Arsenal chances are very open to maintain their position until the end of the season. Arteta can rotate when his team has the upper hand against weak teams, he can withdraw the main players to give him more hours of rest and keep his condition fit so that he is better prepared when playing in big matches.

Now there is no other choice, Arsenal must focus on the Premier League and Europa League. Those are two competitions they are still likely to win this season, but I don't expect Arsenal's march to the title to be easy.

Winning the title is not going to be easy for Arsenal. Several teams are fighting for the title in the Europa League. On the other hand, Arsenal is in a good position in the Premier League. They have continued to perform consistently for a long time. However, the performance of their main rival Manchester City in the Premier League is quite good. Arsenal will lose the top spot in the table if the Arsenal team drops points in a series of matches. If Arsenal wants to be champions then Arsenal must perform consistently well. And every match is very important for Arsenal.

Arsenal match against Manchester City might not be effortless however looking at arsenal present performance appears like they can not afford lose to Manchester City, and I'm believing if at all these match does now not favour arsenal it will cease in draws. Looking from the performance of arsenal previous games it doesn't looks as if arsenal will lose collection of upcoming games. For arsenal to exhibit top first-class of performance up until this time I doubt if they may not be capable to hold up to be consistent in their performance.

I am of the strong believe that Manchester city and Pep guadiola aren’t giving good representation of themselves just selling players of or loaning them off due to misunderstanding.

Joao cancelo is an amazing player and I can confirm this, he has been at the top of his game and for Manchester city to treat him like that means no one is safe in the squad.

[ShowOff]

The problem for Potter is actually constantly changing the cast because apart from adapting he also has to make some other adjustments so it's a bit difficult.
But indeed for a big team this is a demand that certainly cannot be avoided. For the current Champions League they can still be there, it's just that the current conditions are very difficult and their expectations with a completely overhauled squad that requires adaptation make this even more difficult.

Potter talks about the team bond, and I think he really feels that Chelsea haven't shown great relationship so far this season. Some new players must be given time to complement each other so they can always perform well when playing matches. Without good connection between players, it's hard for them to understand each other.

Potter on team bonding and why his Chelsea players won’t be performing ballet.

‘We need to try to bring the group together. There are a few new faces, we’ve got a bit of window now. It’s not just about the grass, it’s about how you interact as a team and as a group. There are some things we can do, and we will use the two weeks to try to do that as best as we can.

‘We have a window to do it, and with a lot of players here, we need to build some togetherness, some understanding, and we have to be creative with how we do it.’

My Manchester United fan friends are really excited about this Marcel Sabitzer signing. It is a big boost to them and their chances have doubled.
Ten Hag doesn't really intend on signing more new players. I just feel it was a technical call due to the injuries in the team. His philosophy has been to build a long standing team, hence his reluctance on signing players. He doesn't want to sign players that don't intend to stay and absorb his pattern. That was why Ronaldo had a  problem with him among other reasons too.

Pep Guardiola is a coach that did not usually condone any form of indiscipline from any players and that's why he remains one of the best coaches in entire Europe.
He also likes making his own decision final, but Cancelo was complaining about him not being future in the last match against Arsenal in the FA CUP, that's the main cause of the misunderstanding between him and the coach.

If you come to think of it, no one is really “safe”. A player, no matter how good and awesome he may seem could be benched through a season and not have any playing time. It all depends on the manager.
Joao Cancelo is an amazing player and your as well as others confirmation of that fact did not stop the management of Manchester City to do whatever it does.

It is generally known that Ronaldo is a great and a fantastic player that can be relied upon to score goals. But that didn’t stop Ten Hag from letting him go as well.

Indeed, Cancelo move to Bayern Munich is a trending topic where the winter transfer market will close in a matter of hours, especially since Cancelo status is an important player in the Manchester City squad. Many people think that Manchester City is gambling on Cancelo's move to Bayern Munich. Apart from that, there are rumors that Cancelo and Pep Guardiola are reported to have had a less harmonious relationship this season, so that became a strong point when he went to Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich, of course, will get a strong injection of energy after successfully bringing in Cancelo because he will be able to become a pretty good defender for the next few seasons. We'll see if Pep Guardiola is on the right foot after letting Cancelo go. pep is a genius coach usually he does this in two ways especially the advantage in sales and he has a backlog of other players who have the qualities of cancelo.

The signing of Marcel Sabitzer will actually boost the performance of manchester united especially their midfield, you know as a coach you need to be very strategic when it comes to making decisions if  Ten Hag does not buy players then it will have an effect on the performance of the club, and Donny van de Beek will be replaced by the new signing am not a manchester fan but also happy about the signing.

It is generally known that Ronaldo is a great and a fantastic player that can be relied upon to score goals. But that didn’t stop Ten Hag from letting him go as well.

The only reason why Cancelo was benched is he was not playing good enough in his last games, where he just focused on attacking and made some mistakes. Pep is a fair coach, which he always gives chance to a capable player and won't put anyone down as long as his player plays like what he wants. I think after Cancelo made some goals and assists this season, he felt himself as a winger instead of full back. Something Pep doesn't really like.

Regarding Ronaldo, well, Ten Hag has given him many chances, but he couldn't proved himself. Yet he did weird interview and mocked Ten Hag. Look at Ronaldo's stats in his new team. Being a captain and main forward, with.. 0 goal.

I do think Pep is a fair coach and would obviously would keep him at the club if he was playing to the coach’s delight and instructions. Why did he let him go? I wouldn’t bother my head about it. What I know is that Pep is an amazing coach and still has the players to get the job done in any match.

I also think Ronaldo’s interview where he said some things that obviously wouldn’t go down well with the club was the last straw that broke the camels back. He just had to be let go.
Ronaldo probably saw the handwriting on the wall and knew his time at Manchester United was numbered.

[Franctoshi]

When did Cancelo becomes coach that he will tell Gadiola when and how to feature him in a given match?,  and for not featuring him in that Arsenal game, Guardiola is currently the only Man City coach that I know and he only knows and is entitled to choose the right player to for his games
It's much better that Cancelo is either loaned or sold out earlier the better, than letting him stay while the issues may escalate, which may cause a bit kind of distraction to the entire team.

It is not right for a player to be disrespectful to his coach, no matter how good he is. His attitude in the training ground was despiteful and it shouldn't be condoned with an open heart. Not that I am in support of how they sold him out. But let it serve as a lesson to others that you can grow wings in a club, thinking you can't be replaced or let go. Every player is under the instructions of his coach no matter how good you are on the pitch.

There are still other players that can fill in Joao Cancelo's position at Manchester City. So his replacement is never a problem for them

The sale ans move will definitely affect Manchester City and the performance they have without Cancelo on the pitch.
He shouldn't moved regardlessly, he should have communicated with the Manager and if the manager said no to his pleas he should have just abide by whatever the coach has to say and conclude.

Either ways, he will be a great addition for Bayern Munich
That will be addition to the attacking players they already have. Sure they will also extends Cancelos career.

Cancelo has been involved in a conflict with pep and so, pep didn't trust him anymore. The decision was already taken by loaning him to another club. Even if he was a great player but since he has a problem with pep and then, cancel shall not hope to be chosen for the starting line up. i think that this can become a sanction for him. Cancelo must try to accept the fact that he was useless for manchester city. that's why city was loaning him to another club. I think that would better if guardiola was selling him permanently to another club. Loaning him pretty much the same like still gave him false hope

[lalabotax]

Cancelo's decision was unanimous so that Man City would let him go and he would go to Bayern Munich. Indeed, in the world of football, no matter how good the players are, if they don't talk to each other or if their relationship is not good, then one of them will let go and leave the club. Because, it also won't be good if you are in a club with gaps and hostility in it. The relationship between Pep and Cancelo has soured since 2 months ago, especially after the World Cup. Cancelo felt he was not appreciated because he was on the bench several times. Meanwhile, Pep felt that Cancelo did not respect himself, especially at the training center. And the existence of some disagreements in it makes the two of them not talk to each other. Of course, this might affect Man City's strength, however, if that's the case, it means that Pep Guardiola already has his own tactics without Cancelo in the future.

And now the ones who have to fight through difficult times are Chelsea and Liverpool. these two teams now have to struggle to go through the same process as Arsenal in past years. But everyone's expectations are of course expecting the team they like to recover quickly. and that's normal. so it's no wonder that many blues fans will expect Chelsea to recover to their best form quickly.

Arsenal haven't won the EPL since 2004, that is about 19 years or so ago, Liverpool didn't win the EPL for 30 years before Klopp guided them to the title and some successful years of recent, whilst Chelsea have been a very successful team in the last decade and a little more, thus comparing Arsenal's woes/wait for another EPL title with Chelsea and Liverpool's dip in form this season is pretty unfair.

Having said that, the season is far from over, thus Liverpool and Chelsea could still finish on a high note, not that i expect them to win the EPL title, but they could bounce back and finish the season in a much better way. I don't expect them to stay down for quite a long time, if it doesn't happen this season, then it will next season, Chelsea are currently undergoing an overhaul of their team, and Liverpool are expected to acquire quite a lot of players in the summer, thus i guess the future is bright.

Arsenal have gone a long time without lifting the Premier league title, 19 years is a very long time without an EPL trophy so winning it this season will be like a blessing to the club but the season is still long and it is advisable to take it one game at a time, maintaining the good team spirit and staying consistent for the rest of the season. Arsenal are leading the league halfway into the season, at this point top four seems sure already and I understand if Arteta decides to focus all the energy and strength in the league.
