Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[piebeyb]

After dropping points, Manchester United distracts from the title race once again. After going down two goals to Leeds, Manchester United fought back to draw! Therefore, I wouldn't say losing points to Leeds is a major loss. It's not that bad even though Leeds played fast and wanted to win every ball. Achieving the top four with overhauls is a great accomplishment for Man United. But, the goal is bigger, and therefore signings in the summer will be crucial. Even the top 4 won't be confirmed if they don't take it seriously. The two teams will end up in fifth if they make simple mistakes. The games aren't over yet, so we can relax.

Even though the Premier League still has a long way to go and Man United still has a chance but the difference of 7 points with Arsenal will be a hurdle that will not be easily passed. Moreover, Arsenal has 2 games less than Man United, so they have the potential to widen the gap to 13 points. Actually, the most likely opportunity for Man United is to fight for second place. However, because they only got 1 point against Leeds, their position was even threatened by Newcastle.

After all, Man United didn't have to wait long to be able to pay for the disappointment of failing to pick up full points during the Whites' trip to Old Trafford Stadium. Marcus Rashford and his friends will again duel with Leeds United, to be precise when they visit Elland Road Stadium, in Week 23 of the English Premier League, this weekend. I think that's the right time to reply

In today's match of Premier League Man United vs Leeds United, neither team could win. But I didn't understand that the game will be a draw. I thought maybe Man United will win but they didn't win this match. The first 1 start of the game.  Leeds United led by 1 goal in the minute. However, the game between the two teams was very concentrated. I placed a bet for Man United in the match but I lost the bet in this match.

Yeah, I think the first goal Leeds United scored that was just over a minute was quite impressive. They probably knew they quickly get a goal and displace whatever plans Manchester United may have had. Like you, many others had thought that Manchester United would win the game and a whole lot placed some bets and lost out as well. I think Manchester United were the lucky ones in the game as they were the ones that needed to quickly equalize in the game which they thankfully did. I guess a draw was better than a loss and Manchester United was lucky to have went away with a point.

This is the most crucial period of the league where a drop in point by any top club means missed opportunity which might affect the team later, Man Utd missed a maximum 3 points to earned a single point against Leeds Utd thus could have pushed them to same point with Man City at the second position which would have been 5 points separating them with Arsenal and can be as well become title hopeful unfortunately squandered their chance, meanwhile a win by Newcastle will guarantee the club third position with Man Utd with 45 points apiece but better goals differences while Man Utd plays a tough reverse fixture against Leeds Utd at Elland Road, the outcome of this weekend matches will repositioned the top clubs in the league.

Nothing was more disappointing than watching Leeds give up the lead easily to Man U. A lot of missed passes in the second half that went directly into the feet of the opponent. It occurred mostly at the midfield while trying to move the ball forward.
Leeds needs a new goalkeeper ASAP. They do not need a soothsayer to tell them that if they do not do something about their defense, they will be totally done for. Imagine defenders being unable to position themselves to block or even have strong enough duels.

It still won't be easy for Man United to get past Arsenal, their points are really far apart, plus the remaining matches that still exist, which makes Arsenal's potential to win the title this season very possible.
However, if Newcastle wins, then the points will be the same, but the opportunity for them is still very likely by Man United, who is dominating it, it's just that to replace Man City, there are always obstacles for Man United, even when their rivals lose, Man United even manages to draw, but whatever going forward, there are still potential opportunities, but it's different from Arsenal, which is likely to be far away.

Yes, and we agree. it seems, the direction of the wind in the race for the Premier League trophy this time is on the side of the Gunners. however, that is if the Gunners remain consistent until the end of this season. As an Arsenal fan, I'm quite enthusiastic about waiting for the Gunners to end their Premier League trophy drought.

So, competition will be tougher for United and Newcastle. however, I am more optimistic if United can finish above Newcastle's ranking. the reason is, Newcastle still has tough matches that will meet other strong teams. like City, United, Spurs, Arsenal. in fact, Newcastle also still has one meeting against Liverpool and Chelsea. maybe, the situation will be troublesome for Eddie Howe's squad to keep appearing consistently until the end of this season.

Apart from all that, I hope that the Gunners' young squad will return to their true form after suffering two defeats in two different competitions.

the difference in points between Newcastle and tottenham is very thin, only 1 point. Newcastle has 40 points, while Tottenham has 39 points. and Manchester United who are in 3rd place have 43 points. And it seems that Newcastle is the most likely to get full points in the next game. yeah it is a good chance for Newcastle to catch Manchester United points. because Newcastle should be able to win easily enough against Bournemouth. but Manchester United actually have a meeting again against Leeds. And I'm quite curious if Manchester can play better this time in front of the Leeds supporters at the Elland road stadium. for Liverpool and Chelsea it seems that they will even find it difficult to stay in the top 10 if they still get bad results in the next match.

So far, the difference between Newcastle and Tottenham is only one point, but do not forget that Newcastle played one game less than Tottenham and Manchester United, so they can catch up with Manchester United on points and even get ahead of them because of the better goal difference. Bournemouth are weak but it's an away game for Newcastle and they've been dropping points away a lot lately.

And Manchester United yesterday, instead of getting 3 points, had to save the situation after two goals conceded. They played better and even had chances to win, so if they are more careful in the next match, they can get 3 points.

if Manchester United had a very low performance like last year, maybe Newcastle would replace third place.
Currently, Newcastle has a very good performance and has a reliable team that can score at least 1 goal to beat their opponent. so that if Manchester United let their guard down and have a very bad performance, Newcastle will replace their position.

on the 12th, Manchester United will meet Leeds again and if MU can be beaten by Leeds, it will be very embarrassing.

[hahay]

Is Manchester United's dominance over, because playing at Old Trafford against Leeds which is close to the relegation zone but in reality Manchester United still can't win. Not only that, even Manchester United fell behind with 0-2 and also, Manchester United lost 0-1 at half time because Leeds managed to score a very quick goal.

With results like these, I'm starting to doubt Manchester United's consistency to compete in the top four until the end of the season and also, Manchester United will certainly be in doubt in the Europa League.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I think there were two breaking points in the Manchester United - Leeds game.

One of them was Garnacho's absolute goal chance after feint against the goalkeeper. His attempt was cleared amazingly by Wober. If Manchester United scored there maybe they would have made the score 2-1 also. The other breaking point was Leeds' free-kick with Aaronson which hit the goal post. If that ended up with a goal then Leeds were going to make the score 3-1. Leeds' second goal was really unlucky for Manchester United also by the way. If the ball didn't hit Varane and changed its direction maybe there would have still been a hope for a win for Manchester United.

It's no wonder when you see Manchester United still can't maintain their stability in matches every week. Yes they are still in an uncertain situation, sometimes they look impressive, mediocre or even have a bad performance. But what they do is still better than them in continuous decline. Especially now that they have a big chance to finish in the top 4 at the end of the league even though they often miss the chance to get full points when facing teams that are weaker than them.

[naira]

Liverpool and Chelsea find themselves in rather precarious positions right now, but everything is possible. I think we should watch how they do in their next game before making any judgments.

This season it is quite difficult to say with confidence that Liverpool and Chelsea can escape the various kinds of problems faced both internally and externally which have quite an impact on the performance of the players. I mean even if they can improve on the remaining matches they have maybe the standings will be occupied between 6th and 7th positions. Because to catch up with other clubs who have already stolen a start by playing extraordinarily, the path for Chelsea and Liverpool looks difficult.

Currently, Chelsea will face West Ham in front of their eyes, despite the fact that currently D. Moyes troops are not too prominent in terms of victory. However, their defensive style needs to be watched out for by Chelsea, because Graham Potter's biggest obstacle is when his opponent is defending even though his players are unable to penetrate the defense. It was seen when Chelsea was against Fulham.

[minime0105]

English Premier league has reach the stage at which every team matters no matter how inferior you think they are, seeing manchester United ending their clash with leeds united in a draw was not surprising to me because at this point most teams in the English premiership is fighting for either qualifying for Europa, conference or moving out totally from the relegation zone, the only query we will be giving to leeds in this match is for them to allow the host side to equalize a match they were winning 2:0 in the first half without applying proper defense mechanism.

Yeah there were lot of close chances but still both teams weren't able to capitalise on those chances well enough. Now we can only wish for those to have ended in the net but that won't change anything now. United should have done better and I think Casemiro's presence would have been  a slight difference maker for United.

I won't say that, they seem shaky no doubts but that doesn't mean it'll affect how they go and play in the long run. Manchester United lacked them best defensive midfielder which is currently booked for three games. ( Casemiro ) and also I wasn't comfortable with Diego Dalot as he attack's very well but finds it difficult defending. Against an attacking side like Leeds United Aaron Wan Bissaka would have been a better option for that game but too bad to see he was a little bit ill for the game.

I wasn't comfortable with the pair of Fred and Sabitzer as they brought no stability in the midfied. Leeds United tore and opened Manchester United apart in midfied.

I got pissed, I didn't end the game feeling it was over, only to wake late to see the equalizer. Can Erik Ten Hag not make use of Lisandro Martinez in midfied ? Since Casemiro is not available.. I honestly want to see Manchester United win on Sunday against Leeds United.
Least I'll appreciate again is draw.

[Pandu Geddon]

English Premier league has reach the stage at which every team matters no matter how inferior you think they are, seeing manchester United ending their clash with leeds united in a draw was not surprising to me because at this point most teams in the English premiership is fighting for either qualifying for Europa, conference or moving out totally from the relegation zone, the only query we will be giving to leeds in this match is for them to allow the host side to equalize a match they were winning 2:0 in the first half without applying proper defense mechanism.

there is a changed scheme of play that United showed after the change of some of their players. maybe there was a mistake from the anticipation that was done by Leeds. but that's football. Rashford started with the first goal and Sanco was the saver.
however, I believe that if United played with their best squad, Leeds could not get a goal in that match.

Manchester United and Newcastle are both likely to be in second place because the points and number of games are the same, only the number of goals is different if Newcastle wins against Bournemouth later.
Newcastle is in good form, but that doesn't mean they will always win every game until the end of the season like Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United. There are times when they are weak and also lose or draw because everything happens with several factors that are not always smooth as a whole.
and in Manchester's match with Leeds I admit Leeds played very aggressively because that was what was demanded because of their position and to get away from the relegation zone and had to play aggressively and also had to put pressure on the opponent so that the opponent panicked and had trouble scoring goals.
and in the next match leeds will host manchester united which in my opinion manchester united already knows the game leeds, but what must be done manchester united must also play more aggressively than leeds. And I hope that in this second meeting Manchester United must win despite playing at Leeds headquarters and still compete in third place with Newcastle and consistently maintain their performance.

Indeed, Newcastle United still has 1 match for the 22nd round of the Premier League. Newcastle United will play Bournemouth this week which will be an away game for Newcastle United. If you look at the quality of the team, for sure Newcastle United will be able to steal full points from that match.

So if in that match Newcastle United wins with a big score then they have the opportunity to shift Manchester United from 3rd place.
Tottenham again overshadowed Newcastle United ranking in the previous match because the victory over Manchester City made Tottenham again closer to the points of Newcastle United. in the next few matches I think there will be a lot of big changes happening in the top 4.

[borovichok]

Now we can only wish for those to have ended in the net but that won't change anything now. United should have done better and I think Casemiro's presence would have been  a slight difference maker for United.

After scoring twice in the first 10 minutes of the second half, the red devils would have won the match, but they were unable to do so because of Leeds' stern defensive lines. In order to face their opponents, Manchester United needs to have a team of aggressive midfielders. One of Manchester United's gritty midfielders, Casemiro has had numerous positive effects on the squad. After Manchester United's draw tie at Old Trafford, the Brazilian midfielder is really missed by the red devils.

Yes, fast transitions must be made by any team if they can't play with their best squad. However, things like this are always a problem for those who may not be too prepared to deal with situations where they have to rotate each player. Manchester United were quite lucky because even though they didn't win they still got 1 important point in this match with the 2 goals they scored in the second half.

[bounceback]

I think most people thought and hoped for a win for Manchester United but were disappointed to see the game end with a draw. Personally, I think they should have done better. It’s still a good thing that they had equalized later on in the game and managed to draw.
I think Leeds with the first and early goal managed to destabilize Manchester United gameplay. They didn’t quite recover when the second goal entered the net making it 2 goals.

It was disappointed to see Manchester United defence shattered and Leeds led by two goals. Manchester United didn't anticipate the fast start by Leeds, they were quick on the ball but lacked quality in the final third. Manchester United midfield was breached and missed a decisive playmaker to breakdown Leeds. I'm only sad about how we missed so many chances especially in the first half. Lets get back to the drawing board and come again.

Without Casemiro and Eriksen in that match it was evident that the midfield game of the MU team was a mess, I was surprised at the beginning of the match why the MU players did not control the midfield first but instead they took the incentive to carry out attacks thereby giving space for the Leeds Uniten team players for them take advantage and if we pay attention in the first half there were several times that MU's midfield was empty and made it easy for the opposing team to face directly directly with the MU team's back line, fortunately they played against the Leeds team with their less consistent performance maybe if their opponent was not Leeds then I think the MU team can't get a draw.

[_act_]

It still won't be easy for Man United to get past Arsenal, their points are really far apart, plus the remaining matches that still exist, which makes Arsenal's potential to win the title this season very possible.

It is quite disappointing that Manchester United was unable to win Leed United, it would have been a good opportunity for Manchester United to have more points, but the main reason I bring this up is that Manchester United that was unable to win Leed United, how would it be able to overtake Arsenal, that would be difficult and probably not going to happen, with points it is even far a little from Arsenal. The only club I can compare with Arsenal for now is Manchester City and it is fucking up too, though it is not unexpected that Tottenham can win Manchester City.
