Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Jody.Drummer]

But seeing some of the players did quite well in this match. The main objective in this match is to see the form and of course, the strategy will change every time. There is still a lot of homework to be done looking at this match, and that's fair considering this is the beginning of their form. I hope Erik Ten Hag can get to know the character of each player they have, there is still plenty of time to evaluate before the competition starts.
I hope they don't focus on the final score, because that's not the purpose of this match.

The young players in Manchester United played very well in the second half and had more press. Noam Emeran who came on to replace Amad Diallo on that wing that Anthony plays for Manchester United senior team, played his role very well, was able to score the first goal and create the assist for the second goal. With this player Anthony will need to sit up because that is another player that the Manchester United coach can use to replace him in games where he plays bad. Emeran is totally deserving of a first team spot, Kobbie Mainoo too.

A few attempts early in the first half especially by giving Sancho some freedom as a striker which he is rarely even given such an opportunity actually allowed them to play better in the second half.
Some of their young players were quite energised when given the chance to play in this match.
Looking at the statistics in this match is actually not too strange but indeed looking at the many players played in this match I think this is one way to see new seeds that can be taken for next season.
Noam Emeran was quite promising in this match especially for the contribution of 1 goal and 1 assist given but of course this also cannot be completely convinced because he still has to prove himself more.

Celsea should be challenging for the title next season and that's how they can get back the honor of the club. Chelsea isn't known for how they ended last season, they're known for winning. We aren't over expecting them to win the race but they should be in the conversation and be challenging other top clubs.

I don't think Chelsea will be competing for the EPL title next season, they have a lot of ground to cover before they can challenge for the EPL title again, they have a new manager, too many new players that are yet to adapt, and a 'new' hierarchy at the club that's yet to understand how football works (i consider Todd Boehly to be clueless about the beautiful game). Thus, next season Chelsea will be in the race for a top four finish, and if they can add one of the domestic cups to it (either the FA Cup or Carabao cup), then it would be a good first season for Pochettino.

Sometimes the performance a team in pre season games gives a clear picture of how the performance of the team will be in the season.  

I disagree; the pre season games does not give any picture or indication of how the team performance will be when the season starts. Instead; the pre season games is to get the players to up their fitness level; understand the weakness of the team and work on it greatly. The MUFC pre season game against leeds was good. Some academy players did well performance wise. More to expect.

Agree. Chelsea isn't in their best form for a few season. They also just hire a new manager and some new players. They need time to adapt, they won't instantly to show their best. Moreover, Chelsea has some serious problem in their squad, many players can't play consistently. These are some big problems that are not easy to fix in the early of this season. So, it is unlikely for Pochettino to join the race for EPL title in the next title. Pochettino needs time to rebuild again Chelsea squad and players' mentality. If Pochettino can deal with all Chelsea problems, their realistic target should be the top 5 of EPL table, not being the champion.

That's right.
We must realise that pre-season games are sometimes just a warm-up for some big clubs because there are other things to consider such as giving opportunities to some players who rarely get this time to take precedence over looking at the schemes.
This is one way for the coach to measure how ready the players are after a long holiday.
Don't take friendlies and pre-season tours too seriously because sometimes they can be tricky and an example might be Chelsea and Liverpool in the season that has ended this time.

There have been several rumours of Manchester United making attempts to sign cane and ad the present time and development,  Manchester united have art a good market stage and if all their transfers and players signing arrangements goes as planned then we can be sure that Manchester united is going to have an outstanding outing in this current season and at the same time other top clubs who will also be making plans to bring onboard a handful of new players to better their lots in this season and going forward.

You have to see the latest news where Manchester United have resigned in recruiting Harry Kane because Tottenham are not willing to let Harry Kane go to Manchester United. Harry kane is one of the top PL stickers, so Tottenham don't want to sell him to a Team from the same league. So far, Bayern Munich has failed in the second bid because the figure of 80 million has not been able to make Tottenham complacent with the offer. But bayern munich are an aggressive team in the transfer window, I don't think they will just give up on kane. It is likely that Bayern Munich will make a final bid at a higher price to convince Tottenham to agree to their offer.

Besides that, no other team is really serious about getting Harry Kane. So bayern munich is one of the teams that really wants to get Harry kane in this transfer window. So any action on Harry kane future will depend heavily on Tottenham decisions in this transfer window. If tottenham is able to turn down all the offers that come in, there is a good chance harry kane will stay and he will leave on a free transfer next season.

it's still too early to reach that conclusion, because pochentino is a good coach and could be putting together a good team capable of surprising, and looking at the premier league, analyzing the arsenal that is making good signings to avoid the mistakes of the past, looking for liverpool who made few signings, looking at manchester united who also didn't see a big change in attack, looking at last season's champion who also didn't make big changes, so i see chelsea having a chance if pochentino manages to put together a good cast, newcastle can also be an obstacle

but chelsea may have a chance, but in my opinion, despite chelsea having a chance of being champion, it's a very small chance. we will have to see how these changes will benefit the team, and I see a big mistake by the team, they will only play two friendly games and against teams that are not very strong, they will play against dortmund, I don't know why they chose not to play many friendly games, like Does the coach expect to measure each player's performance without playing too many friendlies? and knowing that chelsea's first game in the premier league will be against liverpool, so we'll just see what to expect from chelsea in the premier league

With the right Manager Chelsea should be among the top four next season but I doubt they have the right manager.  They have a manager that will make them but I don't think he will make them into a team that will be in the top four,  not to talk of competing for the league. The season is going to be very competitive,  with Liverpool and Arsenal making big moves.  Tottenham also look like they know what they're doing then there's Newcastle,  while Manchester City will keep being Manchester City. 
Pochettino will try his best for Chelsea,  but u feel his vest would be a Europa League spot. 

[JoyMarsha]

I think Tottenham will eventually sell him before the start of next season. They have been very active in bringing in players this early maybe in preparation of Kane's departure from the club. I think there will be another offer and negotiation between the two teams.

It very much depends on no. of clubs interested in Harry Kane. Right now Bayern are the only one that seems to be interested and they are still bidding way below how much Spurs value their star player. It's 100m Euro atleast for a player that scores and assists a lot so I would say even though it is bit high for some of the clubs, Kane is a really a great team player and world class striker so his price tag is justifiable.

Harry Kane is a great team player who can improve the midfield of a club when he joins it, but Bayern Munich is considering how long he will stay with them to fit in with their style of play if they should spend 100 million euros on signing him. This is the math Bayern Munich is doing to try to sign Harry Kane for less than 100 million euros.
I believe the reason they are lowering the price is that they don't want Harry Kane to perform below what they had hoped for as a result of changing to a new club or league.

Some academy players did well performance wise. More to expect.

from my point of view, pre-season matches are one of the indicators for the coach to see that the new players who have been brought in can adapt to the existing squad and blend their games with other players in pre-season matches. Even in pre-season matches, the coach will usually give playing minutes for second-tier players or for academy players to play in pre-season matches to measure the quality they have. It could even be the right moment for academy players to break into the main squad next season if they are able to perform well in pre-season matches.

On the other hand, we have seen Manchester United perform quite well when they beat Leeds United, where the final score was 2-0 for Manchester United's victory. What caught my attention was the Manchester United goalkeeper where Erik ten Hag is still testing his goalkeeper skills in this pre-season game.

You're correct. Last season, Manchester United had a great preseason, but at the beginning of the  Premier League, they flopped woefully for the next two games. Losing four goals both to Brentford and Brighton.
The use of yougins tradition has been going down for a long time, the young players did blend in well with the first team players. The coach will still have decisions to make concerning player's leaving.

I don't think Chelsea will be competing for the EPL title next season, they have a lot of ground to cover before they can challenge for the EPL title again, they have a new manager, too many new players that are yet to adapt, and a 'new' hierarchy at the club that's yet to understand how football works (i consider Todd Boehly to be clueless about the beautiful game). Thus, next season Chelsea will be in the race for a top four finish, and if they can add one of the domestic cups to it (either the FA Cup or Carabao cup), then it would be a good first season for Pochettino.

They're not even ready for that, it'll take Chelsea couple of two years before they can successfully fight and compete for the the Premier League. It'll sure be a struggle for some players but with time they'll definitely adapt. I hope to see Pochetino successfully winning his first trophy as a manager for Chelsea.

This is a great analysis of Harry Kane style of play. Harry Kane is an elite center forward with an eye for excellent creative passes that can cut open any defense in world football; Harry Kane can also dictate flow of play in attack. Any team signing Harry Kane is getting a goal scorer, a creative player and an all round center forward. At 29; i still believe that 80M is cheap for Harry Kane haha.

Pre season matches are exactly like you noted. A warm up for clubs and also to test player capabilities and fitness. Big clubs could also use pre season games to field players who barely see some action during the season and new tactics could be formulated and developed at this stage.
Friendly games are a great way to test player fitness and readiness but I also think it shouldn’t be used to predict or determine whether a club would be successful during that season. One could play very well during the pre season games and end up playing poorly during the entire season.

Thus, next season Chelsea will be in the race for a top four finish, and if they can add one of the domestic cups to it (either the FA Cup or Carabao cup), then it would be a good first season for Pochettino.

Of course, it is very difficult for Chelsea to be able to compete for the EPL title this season. Moreover, Chelsea is making a lot of player changes by selling several core players and maybe this is one of the best choices for Chelsea at the moment with a new coach. because if you continue to force the ego of star players to get bigger and disturb the balance of the club and tend to fight Pochettino. I think Tood Boehly wants to erase fans' memories of Abramovich. So if later Chelsea won the title, you could say this was the Chelsea era of Tood Bolhy. We can see that the leadership styles of the two are very different.

I also agree with you about new players and many young players, of course, they are still fresh, and they can easily adapt and follow the manager's directions. Maybe Chelsea's target this season to finish in the top four has been considered successful, especially if they can get the FA Cup and Carabao Cup maybe this will restore the confidence of the team that performed poorly last season.

[Velvet78]

There are two players being prioritized for certain areas. One of them is Onana and the other one is Hojlund. Onana deal is soon being completed though as they have been only trying to find a middle way about the transfer fee with Inter. They have been in need of a striker on one hand and they are likely to increase the number of attempts they make on Hojlund transfer.

Hojlund is a really young striker and maybe he might need quite much time to give the expected performance to the Red Devils. But they seem okay with this when we look at their interest in him.

So for next season I don't think Chelsea will establish themselves as competitors in the race for the EPL Trophy. But in the next season it is likely that Chelsea will target the top 4 as their target until the end of the season. Well, like a team that is being rebuilt due to a slump in the last season, it certainly takes time to be able to compete in the title race.

For that, I think Pochettino will maximize the best possible opportunities next season to be able to bring Chelsea to a better ranking and if that works they will have a wiser season in the coming seasons to enter in the hunt for the title. For Chelsea they have made a lot of sales in this transfer window and they will likely need time to establish themselves as a more consistent team and the strongest in the EPL.

Manchester united won Leeds 2nil, with full domination in the game. It was an enjoyable activity to watch both teams remain competitive. Former Manchester United player Daniel James' effort was outstanding, and despite the loss, he deserves some recognition. Manchester United won their encounter against Leeds United. Perhaps Erik Ten Hag is simply putting his young players through their paces to see if they have the footing and confidence to perform on the field. Mason Mount started for United, marking his first appearance for the Red Devils.

All of eyes are going to the mason mount during the match. he has become trending topic in twitter during the game against leeds. His performance is far from the price being paid by manchester united. My guess if mount needs more time to play with manchester united but seeing so many people were also posting the club when mount was shooting the ball and he miss it. It's quite disappointed to see his performance.
He is not really worth more than €60 millions. A lot of complains have been coming to him. I hope mount will be showing better performance in upcoming match.

I hope mount gonna try to open with any criticism that will be coming to him. Mount needs to perform even better than the match against leeds.

[Mame89]

The season is going to be very competitive,  with Liverpool and Arsenal making big moves.  Tottenham also look like they know what they're doing then there's Newcastle,  while Manchester City will keep being Manchester City. 
Pochettino will try his best for Chelsea,  but u feel his vest would be a Europa League spot. 

This is what I like about the EPL. It's not just this season that the EPL league is competitive, but almost every season the EPL league is very competitive. The preparation of all teams this season is very competitive also in terms of player transfers, the big six teams are increasingly strengthening their respective squads and each coach will display excellent tactics and strategies for this season. I can't wait for the EPL league to start soon.

Of course, it is very difficult for Chelsea to be able to compete for the EPL title this season. Moreover, Chelsea is making a lot of player changes by selling several core players and maybe this is one of the best choices for Chelsea at the moment with a new coach. because if you continue to force the ego of star players to get bigger and disturb the balance of the club and tend to fight Pochettino. I think Tood Boehly wants to erase fans' memories of Abramovich. So if later Chelsea won the title, you could say this was the Chelsea era of Tood Bolhy. We can see that the leadership styles of the two are very different.

What Tood Boehly did is good if you look at it from a club's health perspective. Because since changing the owner of Chelsea, the majority of the old players are getting worse. The sale of players from the Abramovich era also erased big egos that might have been uncomfortable at the club. if you are forced to continue, it will not be good for the club and not good for the players' careers either. Only Chelsea's problem, in my opinion, is that they bought young players and still lacked experience, Chelsea should have left players who have a strong mentality to support young players.

I expect to see Pochettino help Chelsea to be on top of the table but that's not going to be easy for them in their current situation that's why we should wait and see how Pochettino is going to rebuild this team because the Chelsea we see right now is completely broken and this will take some time for Pochettino to do some reworks with his team and make them have better performance than we saw in the last season.

In any case, Mauricio Pochettino will need some time to build a team that matches his vision of the game, so I do not expect Chelsea to seize the lead from the very beginning and hold it until the end of the season. It is not necessary to have greatly inflated expectations from Chelsea, because other clubs are also strengthening and coaches have been working there for several seasons and therefore they already have a backbone on which to rely.
