Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[$anounimus$]

If you look at the record for meetings between Bournemouth and Liverpool, then I'm pretty sure the Reds will again achieve positive results. A big win over Manchester United is nothing short of sensational and it will give Klopp's squad a boost of morale. In addition, Liverpool will not waste the opportunity to continue to add points to reach the target of finishing in the top four.

The head to head didn't matter a lot in this case but the thing that i do believe is liverpool is coming back to its best performance after able to beat MU with huge scores. The next match against bournemouth can be considered as an easy match for liverpool. I would not be surprised if liverpool will able to win easily against it. The problem is the upcoming match against real madrid will be annoying liverpool's concentration to focus against bourne mouth. We have seen that how real madrid was able destroying liverpool although it was playing at home but madrid was so crazy.
The next match against real madrid in santiago bernabeu will be actually giving a very big pressure for liverpool.

I think Liverpool will see a realistic opportunity after the form they've had so often. Victory over Manchester United will certainly have a tremendous impact on them. Even though they won't win again with a big score, Liverpool's target to get full points is a set price that must be achieved.

Liverpool's chances in the Champions League are very tough to avenge the defeat to Madrid. In this match I think Klopp will no longer try his best, he will be more careful so that his players avoid injury. The target they are pursuing is to be able to qualify for the champions league next season, therefore a win over Bournemouth will make Liverpool's chances even greater to get to 4th place.

Chelsea doesn't need to go anywhere what needs to be done is to focus on what they will face in the Premier League match and also the Champions League quarter-final match, their domestic league must be able to improve their position and what they got in the last two matches should not make them happy excessive. The next game is against Leicester, and it's a tough game and I think all the games Chelsea are going to be in are tough games considering how they've played so far

I wouldn't be that pessimistic. The win against Leeds was obligatory and it was even a home game.

But what can make them a bit more optimistic is the performance against Dortmund is both matches combined. Chelsea deserved to advance to the next round as they were the better team. In the first leg in Dortmund they could well have won the game if they didn't hit the bar earlier and also used one of their other chances.

This win in the Champions League was so vital that I am now thrilled to see whether they make any use of the momentum or whether they start stumbling again as if they forgot how they played against Dortmund. Perhaps they think there is nothing to be won anymore in the Premier League, but there still is if they play a perfect last part of the season.

Therefore we still doubt Chelsea's victory for the following matches. the reason is, we haven't seen the system built by Potter and his team running well and effectively. plus, Chelsea doesn't have a striker who is sharp enough when it comes to scoring goals. because, Potter prefers to always include Kai Havertz in his main starting line even though he doesn't contribute much in terms of scoring goals. the victory over Dortmund in the Champions League match, cannot be our measure in every speculation and consideration that Chelsea's performance has returned to its previous shape.

from my point of view, there are still many mistakes made by the Chelsea players. the point is, we don't know for sure, what happened in the Chelsea dressing room. the Leicester vs Chelsea match, can be used as a reference for us to see the development of Chelsea's performance. well, let's just see how Potter brought his team to perform better after his team's victory over Dortmund.

[Cookdata]

Chelsea moving upward in the English Premiership league table is possible considering their recent performance the blues has not been in good form in their previous matches before their recent two matches that ended in their favour, the blues has to be more aggressive in their attack in other to achieve their goals in the club so that the good records of the team will not diminish.

Chelsea’s bad situation is now slowly starting to clear up with Potter able to field brilliant wing-back pair James and Chilwell in the same side for just the eighth time this season. Injuries are part of the game but Chelsea's pile up has been extreme. At its worst, the number of players out at the same time ran into double figures. As the injuries begin to pile down, Chelsea has began to field their first team players and now they’re playing good football and it’s been obvious in their last games.

I lost my Chelsea ticket when they beat Dortmund, but I'm not impressed since they would have still lost on a regular ground level, but two confirm penalties assisted them, which is why I'm not confident back as they are known to be. If a team wins 9 games and loses 9, they have a lot of work to do to make up for their ineptitude. Let's hope they beat Leicester City and move out of 10th position, where they've been for several weeks. I'm also curious to see what Enzo and Felix can bring to the team, but I haven't seen anything deserving of the excitement of being replaced by Auba and the rest of the squad.

[crunck]

Liverpool really trashed Manchester United, I thought it would not be like that, many of us thought it would not be like that, but 7 goals to nothing was what we saw. It can be surprising that a club that just won a big clubs in EPL may not be able to win a small club, that is possible, but the likely means is very small that the big club would not win, I am going for Liverpool to win Bournemouth. Bournemouth is worse to the extent that it is the last on the league table.

Liverpool will be in a good mood after beating Manchester United and they have beaten Bournemouth once with a very big score, even somewhat abnormal  for a Premier League match, but the same can be said for beating Manchester United 7-0 in such a match, this is also not a very normal. I understood one thing from Liverpool you can expect anything, both a big victory and an unexpected defeat, but it seems to me that Liverpool got a taste of victory and now they want to return to the Champions League zone.

However, Liverpool performed well against Manchester United. But still, I would say it will be difficult for Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League. Liverpool won 9-0 against Bournemouth. And they won the Champions League by a margin of 7-1. Even then, this team could not maintain consistency. Their performance is erratic. So I think scoring 7 goals against Manchester United does not guarantee that this team will perform well in the upcoming matches.

[hyudien]

from my point of view, there are still many mistakes made by the Chelsea players. the point is, we don't know for sure, what happened in the Chelsea dressing room. the Leicester vs Chelsea match, can be used as a reference for us to see the development of Chelsea's performance. well, let's just see how Potter brought his team to perform better after his team's victory over Dortmund.

Or indeed Chelsea has lost the opportunity to focus on him in the Premier League. Constantly experiencing setbacks and in the end Potter will inevitably do his best in the Champions League. Seeing the contribution of Joao Felix and Enzo Fernandez after being brought in has not fully shown anything more in the Premier League. Leicester City on paper is not a strong club but like what Chelsea experienced against the clubs below it clearly made Potter's game not very effective.

[naira]

I think Liverpool will see a realistic opportunity after the form they've had so often. Victory over Manchester United will certainly have a tremendous impact on them. Even though they won't win again with a big score, Liverpool's target to get full points is a set price that must be achieved.

If you see Liverpool's current position they will be very motivated to chase points that are exactly 3 points away from Tottenham and will be targeted for the next game against Bournemouth. Liverpool should not think that Bournemouth's game is easy to beat, because Bournemouth's last game was able to provide resistance against Arsenal. For this reason, Klopp's team's victory over Manchester United must make Nunez, Salah and Gakpo play even more solidly. Because if these three players have found their game, it will be very easy to control the situation on the front lines.

[Minecache]

Liverpool are not Manchester United, Arsenal or Manchester City they cannot rest players against Bournemouth because they will lose. I think people need to wake up because Liverpool are not better because they beat Manchester United. They are still 1 of the worst teams in the top of the table and they should not be qualifying for the Champions League next season. Bournemouth played against a full strength Arsenal team and challenged them scoring 2 goals against them. If  Arsenal can concede 2 against them then Liverpool will probably concede more and if they rest players they could lose by a big margin.

So what's the problem if many people think Liverpool will qualify for the Champions League this season by dumping one of the current top 4 teams to 5th place before the end of the season?
Liverpool are more convincing than Tottenham or Manchester United, but I'm not looking down on these two teams getting in good form for the rest of the season and staying in the top 4. Remember, Liverpool can easily match Tottenham's points, that's because Liverpool have 1 match in hand compared to Tottenham who have played 25 matches. In my opinion, nothing has changed on the board in Week 27, but it may not be entirely true if Tottenham haven't been able to ride out the pressure after their defeat by Wolves.

Liverpool has been performing consistently in recent times. I absolutely agree that they look a lot more convincing compared to Tottenham. Basically what happened with Liverpool towards the start of the season is currently happening with Tottenham. We also need to remember that if Liverpool is able to win the next match, which is against Bournemouth, Liverpool is going to get ahead of Tottenham on the table.

Considering the fact that Bournemouth is in the 20th position of the table, I will say that Liverpool is going to win the match.

A win against Leicester will prove to the fans that their is still hope of getting to the top four position. Although they won against Burussia Dortmund but their performance was not very pleasing. They still have a lot to do in the attack. Like you rightly mentioned, I have not also seen the impact of Enzo.and Felix, they need to start creating and scoring goals.

Two clean sheets in a row is a proof that the Chelsea defense is improving. With absence of Thiago Silva, K. Koulibaly been able to organize the Chelsea defense with players like W. Fofana, and M. Cucurella showing so much improvement. The midfield spearheaded by M. Kovačić and the two attacking defensive wingers R. James and B. Chilwell are just wonderful. Coach Graham Potter should just ensure the talents of Chelsea are effectively harnessed because they have plenty.

Liverpool gradually bouncing back to winning ways after their remarkable victory at Anfield in their previous game against manchester united. Bournemouth is not an exception for the red's and this time, they're doing everything right for the club. Jurgen Klopp's formation seems to be working for the team presently, I don't think they'll give any chance to Bournemouth because it's definitely going to be a deserved win for them. Tottenham Hotspur are having some challenges in the club, but it will surpassed them with time.

[Avirunes]

If you see Liverpool's current position they will be very motivated to chase points that are exactly 3 points away from Tottenham and will be targeted for the next game against Bournemouth.

Liverpool's performance have been swinging but recently they have been playing well. They need to play that kind of performance much more often. Bournemouth put up a great show against Arsenal in last fixture but its very rare from them. I think Liverpool are gonna win this. They have just come into form again and they would be hoping to continue that for as much as they could for the remainder of the season. They have to play CL game against Madrid next week so possible they will try to get game against Bournemouth done and dusted quickly so that they can have fresh options for the CL game.

of course Bournemouth will have no chance of winning even if they are playing at home. Bournemouth lost to United 3-0. and United lost to Liverpool 7-0. so we can know what will happen in the fight. although I'm sure Bournemouth won't repeat the mistake made by Ten Hag so they will be slaughtered by Liverpool.
hopefully Liverpool's luck with starting to improve their game can be maintained until the second UCL match. they lost pretty badly in the first leg, but of course they won't give up hope.

I think the victory against Manchester yesterday looks like Liverpool have high confidence to face Bournemouth in the match this weekend, even though Bournemouth was also quite good against Arsenal yesterday but it looks like Liverpool can overcome Bournemouth's resistance. moreover the points with tottenham are so close that Liverpool need 3 full points to be able to shift Tottenham in 4th place. Bournemouth are not seeded and of course I will bet on Liverpool's victory  

[LUCKMCFLY]

Gakpo again played as a striker I don't know why. He is a left winger normally as you know. While you have Firmino and Nunez for the centre-forward position why would you choose Gakpo instead?

Gakpo could have played in Jota's place and we could have seen one of the duo I mentioned on the front. This way Liverpool could have been more effective about benefiting from their goal chances. They had only a couple of shots on target and none of them ended up with a goal. At least they didn't lose of course. But they should have been able to win this while there was a really bad performing Crystal Palace against them.

There is nothing you will say that will improve the performance of Liverpool. Once a club starts performing poor it will be so difficult for them to get anything right. This is because the coach Will be under pressure and will forget some elementary things.
Even in the training ground he will forget many things and behave like an armature coach. It's normal

Liverpool's problem is that they are very discouraged, they have not had a very good performance and that usually affects them, also the defeat against Real Madrid was a very hard blow, it can even affect the confidence of their players, here psychologists must do something urgent, because the players must have all the motivation to try to remedy the bad performance, although it is not a bad performance as such because Real Madrid is a team that showed all its power when they played, the fact that Liverpool started winning and then they have come back the way they did is something that is difficult to overcome on a mental level.

One thing I have noticed alot this season about this Arsenal team is how the players are more interested in winning than who start a game. Even before Jorginho came, it was obvious from someone like Tomiyasu too. I guess it's because they are charging for the title. But regardless, it's a good thing to have. Another thing I've observed about this squad is the 'goal getting' & 'never say die' mentality & that trumps all. Long may it continue.

Arsenal is always making comeback. The mentality of the squad is very good. A few times arsenal was making an impossible comeback in a difficult situation. I can't even imagine how arsenal was able to comeback against bourney in a few seconds before match end. Arsenal already evolved under arteta. Arteta didn't have good achievements when he was still become a player, especially playing for arsenal. The mentality from arsenal looks very strong although when it was under pressure.
It looks so amazing to see arsenal already developed until now by arteta.

You have to recognize the mentality that the Asenal players have,it is not easy to overcome games where you were losing almost all the time, the last games I have seen of Arsenal have been very good, I honestly like how they are doing, their football is nice, you can't see that they are playing under pressure, on the contrary they are playing as if they were having fun,that's why they say that there is no better job than the one that is enjoyed, and being a fútbol player must be a very good job to have fun and winning big, I think the Arsenal players are very motivated.

Eddie Nketiah provides Arsenal injury update for Sporting amid Gabriel Jesus return hint

Arsenal centre-forward Eddie Nketiah has taken to social media to update Gunners supporters on his recent ankle injury.

Nketiah missed the matchday squad for Saturday's dramatic 3-2 victory over Bournemouth, with manager Mikel Arteta confirming that the seriousness of the knock remains uncertain ahead of the Premier League clash. "We are assessing him," Arteta said during his pre-match press conference last week when asked about the 23-year-old.

"It's a bit uncertain what will happen with him to be honest in the training sessions." The Spaniard continued: "Let’s see, let’s keep the options open. He’s very positive about it and hopefully he’ll be fine."

Especially Liverpool, can they continue their winning streak in the Premier League, and take over the important position it occupy by Manchester United and Tottenham at the top of the standings. Because next week there will also be a schedule for the second round of 16 matches which will determine Liverpool's journey in the Champions League.

Bournemouth has indeed been the worst team in the Premier League this season, but Liverpool's performance is also sometimes difficult to predict.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

If you see Liverpool's current position they will be very motivated to chase points that are exactly 3 points away from Tottenham and will be targeted for the next game against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth are not seeded and of course I will bet on Liverpool's victory  

I was going to say that there is no way Bournemouth is going to beat Liverpool, but relaxed after reading your last line.

Anyways, this is not to say that the possibility is not there, Infact, as long as football is concerned, each team always have an equal chance of beating each other, until the game finally kicks off and one team starts beating their opponent, but the believe that Liverpool will beat Bournemouth is based on the strength they have shown in all their games so far, so my fingers are crossed for them come Saturday.

[Silence Scream]

Chelsea moving upward in the English Premiership league table is possible considering their recent performance the blues has not been in good form in their previous matches before their recent two matches that ended in their favour, the blues has to be more aggressive in their attack in other to achieve their goals in the club so that the good records of the team will not diminish.

Chelsea’s bad situation is now slowly starting to clear up with Potter able to field brilliant wing-back pair James and Chilwell in the same side for just the eighth time this season. Injuries are part of the game but Chelsea's pile up has been extreme. At its worst, the number of players out at the same time ran into double figures. As the injuries begin to pile down, Chelsea has began to field their first team players and now they’re playing good football and it’s been obvious in their last games.

What you wrote was a good summary about Chelsea.  In fact, they had been struggling with injuries for a long time.  Many of the reactions they received may also be due to the fact that they spent significant transfer money during the interim transfer period and still did not succeed.  The expectations for Chelsea are higher, so Potter is being criticized.

[Coyster]

Coach Graham Potter should just ensure the talents of Chelsea are effectively harnessed because they have plenty.

Yeah, they absolutely have an array of talents in their team, so much so that it becomes queer that they are having to go through this sort of rough patch, i think it is as a result of a new manager, new hierarchy at the club and new personnel too, everything looks disjointed at Chelsea, and that is prolly why they are yet to find their feet.

Having said that, i have said it a couple of times already, and i would reiterate again that i don't have faith in Graham Potter, i don't believe he has that elite mentaility to bring the best out of these quality players Chelsea have. The win against Borussia Dortmund took some of the pressure off his shoulders, but contrary to what quite a lot of people believe, i don't think Chelsea are back, it's very possible that they could lose to Leicester City this weekend. Chelsea have the players, but i don't think they've got the right manager and i am not giving them any chance of a trophy this season, nor the top four.

Of course the expectations for Chelsea are higher but you cannot directly criticize Potter when he had not enough time to showcase or to instill his thinking way of playing in most of Chelsea players as for this to happen this surely take quite some time,so if management of Chelsea is smart they will close an eye on any result Chelsea will be having during this season and start questioning into accounting Potter.

The injuries have surely add to their lack of results which lately they have shown some signs of recovery but let's see for how long they will keep this good run as in Premier League I am not convinced they will continue to do well with this way of playing.

[Dickiy]

from my point of view, there are still many mistakes made by the Chelsea players. the point is, we don't know for sure, what happened in the Chelsea dressing room. the Leicester vs Chelsea match, can be used as a reference for us to see the development of Chelsea's performance. well, let's just see how Potter brought his team to perform better after his team's victory over Dortmund.

Or indeed Chelsea has lost the opportunity to focus on him in the Premier League. Constantly experiencing setbacks and in the end Potter will inevitably do his best in the Champions League. Seeing the contribution of Joao Felix and Enzo Fernandez after being brought in has not fully shown anything more in the Premier League. Leicester City on paper is not a strong club but like what Chelsea experienced against the clubs below it clearly made Potter's game not very effective.

Yes Potter's ineffectiveness in loading strategies for a resistance in the field that often makes chaotic in the game so that the team that we think is weak can match the Chelsea game.
I actually do not understand why it could happen whether because the players are incompetent or the ranks of coaches who are not serious about fostering their players. I also have no problems that occur in the internal club, but if seen from the influence on the team's performance, I think it's not a trivial problem in the team.
If the match is like against Dortmun the performance of Chelsea players is still consistent in his appearance, it is likely that Leicester City will be lost by Chelsea.

[Ahli38]

Correct. At least Graham Potter still has plenty of time to prove himself worthy of being a coach for Chelsea. the beginning of his coaching debut at Chelsea he was able to push Chelsea back to improve. although in the end Chelsea slumped again. and Now we see that little by little Chelsea is getting better. and Graham potter also needs time for how to place each player so that they can be played more effectively. because to be honest, in my opinion, the many new players who were brought in were also quite a time-consuming task and also a difficult task to be able to organize everything into a solid composition of players. there are even some Chelsea players who complain because he gets little playing time. due to too many players in the Chelsea team. and of course Potter had thought of this too.
