Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[OcTradism]

Chelsea basically lacked few things and one of those was a good coach who could coordinate what his got into a winning team but, that is gradually changing and it's mow a matter of if they could build up a winning mentality, if they could challenge themselves in each game and be sure they could go in that pitch and come off with all 3 points.

They don't have a good coach and they are not able to united their players for a club target. Potter is not a coach is able to do this as in Chelsea, they have many star players who work with many great coaches in their career. They don't easily to be convinced by a coach who did not have any achievement in his career like Potter. What happened with Nagelsman in Bayern Munich is similar example.

The confidence level at Chelsea is still very low and to build that, they need some consistency at winning and to set there target high on where they hope to end on the league table. Taking proper advantage of any lost point from the top to in the league.
They could bring some of those champions league performance to the EPL and be a winning team.

They slipped gradually after the sack of Tuchel and appointment of Potter. With last 10 matches in Premier League and their current position, I don't think they will want to fight hard for a position that is enough for them to play in Conference League next season. Europa League is out of their hands with their total points and with some above clubs.

[asriloni]

Most people think Clese is improving because they are winning a few games and they had a better performance compared to last month with Potter, especially after they win the game against Dortmund in the Champions League this season. But in fact, the playing style of Chelsea is the same and they had not improved at all, which means still the possibility for Potter to get fired is high.

The problem is potter is still confused about which strategy that suits the club. He has found it but he was also doing another stupid thing like changing the strategy in the middle of the game and that was also making players even more confused with his decision.
He shall not do that. Potter must think for twice before trying to change the strategy in the middle of a game like that.

The flexible strategy didn't suit with chelsea. Potter needs to find another strategy that will be suit to be used by chelsea. It has been proven in some matches if potter's strategy failed. So many fans were slamming potter's strategy.
potter was always repeating the same mistake anytime.

[Jatiluhung]

O guess Todd is being soft on Potter due to the five years contract he signed with Chelsea. If Todd should fire him,he have to pay him off with a huge amount of money. Maybe this is why Todd is finding it difficult to sack him.

By the end of the season if Chelsea are slacking behind,the only option to revive the club back to its normal state is to sack Potter. I don't know if this would be possible but it will help the club to be back on their good performance. There are so many good coaches that can replace him.

Maybe that's also one of the reasons why Todd Boehly will keep Graham potter for this season. or it could be for some other reason. because Todd Boehly is always looking for someone who thinks the same way as him. and maybe Graham Potter had it. because Graham potter seems to be given more flexibility by Todd Boehly at the Club. whereas in the past Thomas Tuchel often had conflicts with Todd Boehly. so that Tuchel seemed unable to be too flexible at that time in the formation of Chelsea. and i even think that graham potter could have been kept until his contract expired.

This weekend the fight between dark horses teams Brighton vs Brentford also looks interesting to watched this because these teams this season has been appears became an giant killer that both teams has been able to beat strong teams several times so this match will be so tight and interesting to know who will be the winner of this match later

On standings league they have equal points 42 with Liverpool so whoever the winner of this match probably will overtake Liverpool position and Brighton has Alexis Mac Allister and Kaoru Mitoma which is these players always be scores important goals for Brighton and in Brenford they have Ivan Toney which already makes his debut match with England national team recently and my prediction this match will be so tight and whoever the winner of this match probably with slim score but i feel like home team Brighton will earn 3 points this time

[Sebas.tian]

I agree with this, Chelsea team still need long time to recover their real level and winning few matches will not change anything, the team need a real revolution in the next few months if they want to be ready for the next season i believe big improvement is needed in all aspects of the club

Chelsea basically lacked few things and one of those was a good coach who could coordinate what his got into a winning team but, that is gradually changing and it's mow a matter of if they could build up a winning mentality, if they could challenge themselves in each game and be sure they could go in that pitch and come off with all 3 points.

I think, Chelsea coach is planning to increase that confidence by helping the team to stand on a solid ground to maintain winning in a way people will start predicting for their favour. It was a great celebration for the last match Chelsea won to defeated Leicester city that made many people to believed that Chelsea players can still improve higher before the end of the season which is possible. Since their coach is trying to know some players that are good in the first half and the one that are not good in the second half, so that he can use the players that know how to score early goals  to start the first half.

[X-ray]

If Chelsea doesn't like the current coach, then they just need to lose this game, and of course the Chelsea management will consider changing coaches again.Graham Potter is a new coach at Chelsea who still needs to adapt to the players he has; if Graham Potter can't do that, Chelsea will be destroyed and it will be difficult to get up.

I don't think so since chelsea has paid lots of money for him to the brighton.

brighton was just revealing it

The exorbitant compensation package Chelsea paid Brighton for Graham Potter back in September 2022 has been revealed.

- Chelsea appointed Potter in September 2022
- Paid Brighton reported £21.5m in compensation
- Thought to be world record fee for a manager

https://www.goal.com/en/news/revealed-chelsea-world-record-graham-potter-compensation-package-brighton/bltf7eef75c24648908

Chelsea will think twice before trying to sack him. Chelsea signed him and used lots of money and the club was waiting for a good result from the potter. It will be a shame for him if he will not able to give good results. Chelsea was also making mistake by picking him instead a popular coach which has lower fees compared with him. Chelsea looks so stupid caused by it was being fooled by a garbage club like brighton. Chelsea can sign mourinho back easily with such money.

[Despairo]

On standings league they have equal points 42 with Liverpool so whoever the winner of this match probably will overtake Liverpool position and Brighton has Alexis Mac Allister and Kaoru Mitoma which is these players always be scores important goals for Brighton and in Brenford they have Ivan Toney which already makes his debut match with England national team recently and my prediction this match will be so tight and whoever the winner of this match probably with slim score but i feel like home team Brighton will earn 3 points this time

I don't care with the standings league because there are still many matches will happen next, but talking about Brighton and Brentford, both of them have unexpected performance because they sometime can won against big club, but sometime they're lost against mediocre club. But they're quite popular about a sense to score many goals, I also think Brighton will win this match, but the odds is really low.

Brighton to win is @1.65, over 2.5 is @1.75 while over 3.5 is @2.85. I will take a risk to bet over 3.5, seems to be worthy bet for this match.

Chelsea has history to sack coaches and pay high compensation fee for them. It's not big matter with them to sack Potter to expand that list. I know the compensation cost is expensive but if they no longer believe in ability of Potter and feel that if they keep him, Chelsea performance will not be improved and be bad like in this season, they do have reasons for sack Potter and look for another coach.

Chelsea can sign mourinho back easily with such money.

Signing with Mourinho will be challenged by offer from Real Madrid too. Currently Mourinho is happy in Roma and doing his job well there with limited resources Roma gave him. However, I am not sure he will stay there if Roma won't give him enough budget to strengthen the team. Mourinho works hard, totally focuses but he want to win titles with his club so Roma must show their support for him.

Real Madrid will likely find another coach after this season and their target has Mourinho. If Mourinho has to choose between Real Madrid and Chelsea, I think he will pick Real Madrid. There is less competitiveness in La Liga than in Premier League and he will do want to win Champions League with Real after all. In his first era in Real, he failed to win it with them.

For sure it’ll be an interesting game. Both sides are playing a similar game and an attractive one. Brentford have beaten Manchester United and Liverpool this season and drawn at Arsenal. Brighton have beaten Manchester  United, Chelsea and Liverpool twice. These two teams have been brilliant and all have their own narrative. Brighton are on the right course this season and I feel they have a target. A top-four finish is not beyond De Zerbi and his players, with a Conference League spot seeming like it is their worst-case scenario.

Indeed, the problem with Chelsea this season is the lack of coordination and chemistry from coach to player and vice versa, making all visions difficult to achieve for Chelsea this year. I think Graham Potter has been at Chelsea for over a year coaching and guiding the squad, but the results of what Potter has given have not been very satisfactory for the Chelsea supporters in the span of the current season.
Better consistency may indeed be very helpful, and a winning mentality is something that must be instilled in every player and team coach. But is it effective for team progress and victory guided by a coach who has seen his limits? I don't think the EPL necessarily has high hopes of winning it.

[Bobrox]

There is no improvement that is good enough for Chelsea under his coaching because until now Chelsea is still struggling in every game they play.
it is unlikely that Chelsea will find it quite difficult to close the season in the top 4 because other teams are more consistent than them.

i might be more interested in liverpool even though they still have a less stable rally but they still have a pretty good chance to be able to close the season in the top 4. well i guess if things change or liverpool starts dropping points again then their chances might be gone to close season in the top 4.

Sure, still not improvement performance from Chelsea in this season although success lead to quarter final in Champion League, still on 10th position standing with 11 matches left in Primer League become the problem for Graham Potter how can return back to top fourth standing. For up coming match against Aston Villa after international break out and looking how capacity from Graham Potter will win and keep in the top fourth standing race or Chelsea have forget with Champion League participants next season.

Liverpool remaining 7 points left from Tottenham Hotspur for getting top fourth standing, still possibility or not finish on top fourth position depending how consistent performance actually many super big match waiting for Liverpool on several games left.

If potter will not always be consistent with his own strategy and this will be also giving an impact on the club. Potter was always using a flexible strategy that he can change it at the end or middle of game but the problem is if this will be also breaking the focus owned by the players of chelsea.
Potter might be able to use it in the brighton but chelsea had different play style and composition compared with brighton. This coach can't even think which substitution was the best for the club to keep its lead against another team.
The next match gonna be a very difficult match for chelsea even though it will be facing aston villa seeing the result against everton makes me believe that this team will be facing a tough game against aston villa. Chelsea is not having a good squad right now.
It's always getting draw or lose at the end of match. I don't even know what's wrong with the defenders of chelsea but it's very often making bunders that were making clubs conceded a goal that was making the club lose full points.

Another difficult match is very close for chelsea although chelsea has good odds.

[alpamar99]

They won't even do that because they clearly know the consequences if they change coaches again.
btw Poche? Good reputation? In fact, his performance will be the same as what Potter did if Poche coached Chelsea because his conditions are the same regardless of anything. Poche is still on the same level as the current Chelsea coach.

If Chelsea doesn't like the current coach, then they just need to lose this game, and of course the Chelsea management will consider changing coaches again.Graham Potter is a new coach at Chelsea who still needs to adapt to the players he has; if Graham Potter can't do that, Chelsea will be destroyed and it will be difficult to get up.

Todd is not going to make him leave I don't think because of course when Potter is let go Todd indirectly admits that he was wrong to fire Tuchel and take Potter. With his big ego I won't see this this season even if Chelsea's performance is destroyed even though Potter will still last at least until the end of the season I think.Unless Todd really wants to put aside the embarrassment and admit he was wrong in sacking Tuchel maybe it will be a different story.

The earlier that the new Chelsea owner comes to terms that the current coach in the person of Graham Potter isn't the best man for the job of Chelsea's trainer the better for the progress and development of the club. Chelsea were not doing well at the start of the season under Thomas Tuchel for sure but Chelsea weren't having the kind of quality players they have now then. Potter hasn't convinced club fans that he can change the fortunes of the club anytime soon and it will do more favour to the future of the club if he is sacked sooner than later.
I don't see the current Chelsea set up winning any silverware with their current mentality under Potter

[Ahli38]

in fact I predict that Todd Boehly will even stick with Potter into next season. it's even possible that Graham potter will last until the contract ends, which is 5 years. because Todd Boehly certainly doesn't want to spend more money to pay compensation money. because Chelsea's current financial condition is even a little worrying. because based on reports it turns out that the losses received by Chelsea have reached a value of 121 million Pounds during the past year. so I doubt that Todd Boehly, who is a reliable businessman, will act more aggressively when Chelsea's current financial condition is not good.

[naira]

With last 10 matches in Premier League and their current position, I don't think they will want to fight hard for a position that is enough for them to play in Conference League next season. Europa League is out of their hands with their total points and with some above clubs.

It's no wonder that Chelsea have to gamble with a coach like Potter. Like it or not, this is the risk they take as a result of being careless in choosing a coach who admits that a club as big as Chelsea is not easy to control. With poor Premier League results, of course, the guarantee is sacked. Gradually it will happen, even more carelessly buying expensive players with quite poor skills and quality. Todd Boehly wasted too much money and the results weren't worth what he spent.

[Slow death]

They could bring some of those champions league performance to the EPL and be a winning team.

i did not see a considerable difference in chelsea's performance in the champions league compared to the premier league, in the champions league chelsea managed to score 2 goals, but could not score more than 2 goals, and of course winning games is the most important, but chelsea's attack has not been able to score 3 or 4 goals in the games it has played in all competitions, in many situations even the attackers are unable to score goals, who scores are players from other positions, in my opinion chelsea made a mistake hiring these strikers, chelsea made the mistake of not focusing on getting good strikers

Todd Boehly wasted too much money and the results weren't worth what he spent.

It's unbelievable that a team like Chelsea is making meaningless signings and spending so much money. let's see a great example of manchester united that had many coaches but could not get good results, we all even thought that the solution was to bring in a good coach and make great signings of players. we got it right in part, manchester united hired a good coach who didn't need to spend thousands of dollars on bringing in new players, he focused on taking what he had already found and creating a good strategy and then hired a few players who didn't spend a lot of money like chelsea is doing, chelsea's spending doesn't make sense and they still don't play well.

Gamble? I see no gambling here. Many of you were happy when Tuchel was sacked as if he is the real problem, and now that the supposed angel could not perform as expected, complaints are everywhere. Chelsea's problem might be linked to morale downtime, the belief is gone, and buying players that could motivate the team and bring back coordination is important.

Honestly, I don't see a change of coach as a solution here but could help boost their psychology. Go bring the best coaches in this situation, it might linger. It seems Graham is now a no-brain coach, but it's not, time and encouragement are the way forward.

Chelsea need a leader like Roman Abramovich, he is someone who influences Chelsea's success. He is a club owner who is able to make quick decisions, but also provides support to coaches to get good players even at high prices. We have seen how Abramovich gets a coach, without waiting too long, if he feels the coach is unable to improve the clubs in the standings, he will fire him. Then brought in a coach who managed to improve Chelsea. Currently, Chelsea is too slow in making decisions. Rumor has it, the impact of sanctions from the UK government to Abramovich cost Chelsea hundreds of millions of pounds in losses.

[martyns]

Arsenal have really showed the world what they are made of,and what they are capable of doing this season.As an Arsenal fan,I am backing them to win all their remaining 10 matches to claim the premier league tittle this season.Their success this season really came as a shock to people this season,but to me,after they finished fifth last season,I knew they were up to something this season,because if you take a look at the coeciveness in the way they play,and how they go about their pass progression,you will love them.The team spirit in the team is really massive at the moment,and as it stands now,I don't see them fearing any team in the EPL.
I know they still have tough opponents to face before the season ends,they have the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool,Mancity, Newcastle and Briton to encounter before they can claim the premier league tittle,but I know very well that my Arsenal will win those people and claim the tittle after a long period of time.
Mikel Arteta have really done a good job at Arsenal since his arrival,and almost everything he has done at the club is a good job and a success.The aggressiveness in the players and the love within themselves is really what will make them win the league.
