Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Sebas.tian]

With the Gvardiol addition Manchester City defense line will be much more secure surely. The deal is soon to become official between sides. He is only a 21-year-old defender maybe but his performance tells us the opposite. It makes me feel like he is already a quality experienced defender. Mostly this much young defenders are prone to making simple mistakes often.

But Gvardiol is really different. He is great at keeping a balance in his game and this is another attracting point for Manchester City. It wouldn't be surprising to see him in the starting lineup in a short time after his joining the team as well.

I think, he will be able to handle the defense very well because he is a potential defender based on his past record which he will do everything possible to get a good name in Manchester city and also make their coach to be proud of him next season. Since the player is 21 years old, I think Manchester city coach will take a good step to bring the young talented defender so that they can still maintain their first position in the premier league competition which the team are capable to make it happen again. I believe, Manchester city coach will not sign in anyhow players in this summer without checking their records history because their past history will determine whether the player is good or not before bring he into the team.

After Harry Maguire will not captain Manchester United next season, now the main captain position will be held by Bruno Fernandes. I think Bruno Fernandes is the right player for this role and I hope he can be a confidant for his teammates on the pitch. Maybe in discussions with the referees he is very good, but when the team is in trouble I don't think he has the soul of a leader in those situations and often the player who can get a squad motivated again is Casemiro. I had thought that Casemiro would be the next main captain for Manchester United because he has a great leadership spirit, but it seems that Erik ten Hag has again appointed the captain of a player who has lasted quite a long time at this club.

Bruno Fernandes moans/complains quite a lot at his own players when things aren't going Manchester United's way, almost as if to pass off the blame to them and exonerate himself as the person giving his best to the team, i have seen him do that many times and i think it is a disgusting habit that leaves a lot to be desired.

I hope Fernandes works on his attitude now that he is captain, if he does not then he isn't a good captain imo. Having said that, i don't know if Maguire intends to remain in United, but if he does then it will confirm the fact that he's not an ambitious player and one that's just contented with being paid, it isn't just about him being stripped off the captaincy role, but the fact that the manager doesn't have him in his plans and he won't be getting any game-time next season, thus he shouldn't be comfortable with that.

That's right, Bruno Fernandes is quite famous for his excessive complaints and sometimes he doesn't have the mentality of being a leader on the field. I doubt he will become the main captain for all competitions next season and it is likely that some of his players are also not very comfortable with his appointment as team captain. But whatever it is, a coach's decision is absolute and it is hoped that Bruno Fernandes can provide positive energy for his colleagues.

Even if later something doesn't go right, I think the other players should immediately tell him to set a good example. I think the election of Bruno Fernandes to become the new captain for Manchester United makes Harry Maguire even more uncomfortable and even if he stays he will be a person who will always be on the sidelines for everyone at Manchester United. I think Harry Maguire should be more mature and start his career in another team to improve his quality.

If Manchester City doesn't get consistent performances from Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland next season, Manchester City's performance will definitely deteriorate drastically. Because I think Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland's excellent performance is why this team has been able to play consistently well in the last season. Kevin De Bruyne helps stabilize Manchester City's midfield. And Haaland scored plenty of goals last season. Every player in Manchester City's squad has contributed to the title win. However, these two players have played an important role in stabilizing the overall performance of the team.

Yes, this can indeed be a concern for Manchester City, because De Bruyne and Haaland have a very important role in every match. Foden, who is much younger than De Bruyne, could not even replace De Bruyne last season, he only played on the bench last season. The arrival of Haaland was a fortune for Manchester City, especially when Guardiola got a relatively cheap price of 60 million euros for an international class player. Haaland has been the perfect piece to complement Guardiola's game plan and his performances have only gotten crazier since joining Manchester City.
Furthermore, who has an important and very influential role is Ederson who has always been a mainstay in goal by making several saves and during his 34 appearances in the Premier League he only conceded 31 goals. They are players who make a significant contribution to Manchester City, I think Guardiola should take care of the performance of his players because it will have a very negative impact on Manchester City if one of them gets injured during the competition.

Every player in the team contributed to Manchester City's title win. Of course, we can consider Haaland, De Bruyne, and Ederson as slightly more important players. But the performances of Alvarez and Foden on the bench were also excellent. Guardiola replaced these young players at crucial times. And they never let us down. Alvarez and Foden's performances were excellent despite playing less. And because of the good performance of each player as a team, Manchester City's performance has been consistent throughout the season. Manchester City's squad was strong, while their bench players were also very talented. Arsenal's bench players were weak as they could not maintain consistency of performance.

Manchester city growned in performance all through the previous years, there performance is totally on a different levels. Pep Guardiola has a way of handling things at Etihad Stadium; he's full of confidence in his game strategy, the supporting system identified as the fans, and, perhaps most significantly, the players who contribute outstanding performances on the field; every member of the squad cooperates without hesitation or misunderstanding. When it comes to players, Kelvin De Bruyne should be the first to be mentioned, followed by Erling Haaland. We're talking about the assist machine and the engine room.

[Uruhara]

I don't think so. he loses more chance to win UCL next season. I think that barcelona will not able to perform the same like manchester city did next season. Barcelona is bad club when it came to the european competition.

Do you remember when barcelona was losing in UCL last season and it's also losing in UEL too? That proves that if barcelona is not a good team for european competition.

gundogan was making bad mistake. Silva shall not follow him.

Obviously if we talk about the quality between Manchester City and Barcelona, Manchester City is far ahead from Barcelona. Barcelona isn't have a lot money too, so in terms of quality they're lose, in terms of quality, they're lose too. But Gundongan still want to join Barcelona, obviously there's a strong reason involved, what I think he's want to take a challenge and improve his quality.

Actually, the reason Barcelona performed poorly in the UCL last season was because Xavi really focused Barcelona more on winning Laliga. So I think Barcelona this season will be different from last season. because of course this season Xavi will definitely target Barcelona to win a higher competition like in the UCL.

But when talking about comparisons between Barcelona and Man City, of course I think that Man City is far superior. But still, we really can't underestimate Barcelona in the current season. And Man City shouldn't be too confident in their strength either. Because of course all the clubs this season must have prepared well. And surely everyone wants to beat Man City this season.

Gundogan left Man City, of course. Had a pretty good reason. That is, he must feel confident that he will be able to win another title in his career with a new club.

Man City would definitely miss Pep Guardiola when he eventually leaves that club, the guy has spent 7 years there already, he can't be there forever. But his style has always been positive for Man City, and the club has won almost all the leagues after then. I still hope that Pep is careful with signings in this transfer window so that much changes would not distort the good results. Players like Ilkay Gundogan, Aymeric Laporte and Bernardo Silva would be missed if the deals are done, hope that good replacements will be fixed.

[asriloni]

There must always be challenges in every season nothing to worry about. Ten Hag must have had everything ready related to whether Manchester United won the Premier League or not is another matter what is clear is that the main target must be to finish in the top 4 if luck was on their side they could win the title who knows. Last season Manchester United finished in 3rd place now with the addition of new players there is hope of moving up to a better position.

Some preparations being made to face upcoming season. ETH is now focusing in bulding the club. Ten Hag wants to sign Hojlund from Atalanta to help Manchester United score more goals next season. Manchester united has bought some important players like onana.
MU gonna play in UCL next season. I agree that it will be difficult for Manchester United to finish in the top 4 next season due to many other clubs rebuilding their teams. MU needs more money right now caused by the money already allocated by glazer already gone.

Some players already expected to leave from manchester united as soon as possible. I think that if it's gonna be a huge challenge for united to enter and stay in the top 4 next season.

Chelsea and newcastle will be also coming back next season as strong contenders to win UCL spot. Rashford already extended his contract in manchester united.

[Velvet78]

Manchester United are preparing to make their first offer for Rasmus Hojlund. It has been recorded that PSG also have an interest in the player. This makes me surprised because as far as I know their priority is to finish the Vlahovic signing. Maybe they are interested in case some problem happens in the Vlahovic deal. I don't think Hojlund is a priority for them.

The Red Devils had better be convincing with their offer to Atalanta. But I think they will start with a much lower fee then the amount Atalanta expects classically. But the Red Devils really need a striker as there is only Martial if we think Rashford as playing on his wing.

Rasmus Hojlund is quite expensive, his market value is €50 Millions, I think Manchester United need to spend  €50-60 Millions. His performance in Atalanta wasn't that good, but his performance in Denmark is quite good and he's still 20 years old, so there's a potential he could develop become a great player.

Manchester United need a new striker, they always lack of striker and Rashford is forced to play in this position.

€50 Millions is the final deal after negotiations previously Atalanta set €80 Millions for anyone who wanted to bring Rasmus Hojlund
Manchester United are not willing to pay that high moreover their finances are also not fine so 50 million is considered appropriate
This will be Manchester United 3rd signing with an expenditure of over 160 millions while signaling they are ready to compete for the title
Apart from that Manchester has no competition to bring in Rasmus Hojlund so that is another advantage.

Dusan Vlahovic, Rasmus Hojlund and Hary Kane are the three players who have been heavily linked with Man United in the transfer window so far. However, it is estimated that Vlahovic is the most likely player to be transported to Old Traford, after Kane and Hojlund will potentially anchor with other clubs.

It's true that I also see that Man United are currently looking for players in the striker position after and are planning to release several players who don't contribute much. However, United move seems to have encountered many obstacles the price problem being the main factor such as Maguire having difficulty getting a new club, even though he has been approved to be released.

Man City are probably the best club in Europe right now, but don't forget how they only managed to push Arsenal out of first place at the end of last season... So there are strong clubs in the EPL now too... I think that next season Man City will not be as easy as last season and I don't rule out the possibility that they won't be able to win again...

[uchegod-21]

But Gundongan still want to join Barcelona, obviously there's a strong reason involved, what I think he's want to take a challenge and improve his quality.

Ikay Gundogan might not be looking to win another champions league next season buy he has his reasons of going to Barcelona. Some players when they have won many titles as they like, they no longer chase trophies. They will begin to consider place of settlement after retirement just like Messi did.
It is players like Harry Kane that should be disturbing himself about title wins and not Gundogan.

Man City are probably the best club in Europe right now, but don't forget how they only managed to push Arsenal out of first place at the end of last season... So there are strong clubs in the EPL now too... I think that next season Man City will not be as easy as last season and I don't rule out the possibility that they won't be able to win again...

Many clubs will obviously contest in this coming season but it seems that Manchester City will remain the favorites for both EPL and CL. They can still win both but they will not win treble again.

I also think that Vlahovic should be the best deal to get in Old Trafford,he can be a really nice addition to the attack of Manchester United.It is good though that Manchester United is one of the most active teams from the Premier League in this summer transfer market window.They don't need to be that fast though as they have enough time,even the Premier League starts at 12th of August the summer transfer window is up until 31 August 11.59 PM so plenty of time to check and decide what players to bring in for Manchester United and any other team.

His price doesn't matter a lot for manchester united. MU is still having enough time to raise money from selling its players. I see no option for MU other than selling some useless players like meguire to buy hojlund from atalanta.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-takeover-live-jassim-hojlund-30410500

I think that if MU shall sell some players. The club is now in the need recruiting a new striker. Ten Hag no longer trusts Greenwood, and Hojlund has become a new option.. There are so many parties who told greenwood to leave from the club as soon as possible to secure his career in professional football. In my opinion that if we will be seeing dynamic situation in manchester united. There are so many players are still uncertain about their future.

MU shall not force rashford to play as central striker again. The club really needs a new striker. Hojlund is the best choice for manchester united right now.

So there are strong clubs in the EPL now too... I think that next season Man City will not be as easy as last season and I don't rule out the possibility that they won't be able to win again...

If the top clubs in the EPL still maintain their old players and don't add or overhaul their team squad it might be a bit difficult to compete with Manchester City, so far Manchester City already has several quality players even though they have several players who have left but they are adding players new additions to complement the departed players so the team will remain solid.

Guardiola will defend the Manchester City title this season, of course, by overhauling a few of their squad team players so they can win the EPL again this season and what is most expected is to get a treble winner for the second time, if you look at some of the players in their squad it was enough for Guardiola to bring Manchester city back to being champions this season.

A trophy in Champions League last season can be a good start for them to be recognized as a big club in Europe but they are far to be a best club or a dominating club in Champions League. They don't have such tremendous history like Real Madrid and they have yet won some Champions League in a row.

They can do it, starting from the last season, and will achieve it if they continue to succeed in Champions League next few years. We have to wait for their sustainable success in Champions League to conclude they are a dominating club in the last 5 years or 10 years. They have years to come to that recognition which is not easily to achieve.

Looks like Guendongan is still in the negotiation stage, because it is rumored that he will leave City, Pep is still taking a more approach to maintaining Guendong, however he is a player who made a big contribution to the glory of Manchester City last season.

If the player you are referring to is Ilkay Gundogan, then you have made a big mistake. Ilkay Gundogan has become an official Barcelona player, it was announced some time ago since Barcelona managed to sign him for free. I agree that Ilkay Gundogan has contributed greatly to Manchester City's title success over the last few seasons, but unfortunately Manchester City did not manage to extend his contract so Barcelona stepped forward as the next port of Ilkay's career.

Sorry, it seems like I read information that was somewhat stale yesterday, so sorry for the mistakes, and in fact it was true that the Gundongan had entered and rushed with the Barcelona squad under the Xavi coach, maybe to fill the emptiness positioned by Gundongan, Pep could play Mateo Kovacic or Phil Forden, although Phil Foden previously played under the Gundongan but Phil himself was suitable to fill the position left by the Gundongan.

Maybe it is true that Mahrez could leave the city, because he receives an offer from Saudi Arabia, including maybe Bernardo Silva who continues to be targeted by PSG to this day, PSG really wants him to be able to join them in the French league, indeed these players are quite good and we know how they have a big contribution very good with Manchester City, even though today Pep has new players like Kovacic and Gvardiol, Pep has to turn his head because there is quite a lot to prepare, even though he is still the favorite team, but that will change if another team is able to beat Manchester City with dominate it.

All players will leave at some time, regardless of whether they retire or move to another team. Bernardo Silva and Mahrez are likely to move in the near future, but I think Silva will still be around for the next 1-2 seasons.

Of course Manchester City will find replacements for the players who have left, but this will only be done in a phased manner. So far Manchester City have been very good in terms of player transfers, that is part of the reason why they have players with good quality.

Yes all players have a chance to go and retire, Mahrez has been declared moved and we are waiting for Bernardo Silva who has the opportunity to leave Manchester City as well, but I think he will discourage this season to leave Manchester City, I hope his intention is not done and survive at Manchester City.

Pep did a strategy on the Tranfers Exchange with a good systematic so that he was not in a hurry and walked according to plan, he always had A and B and so on to anticipate if there were players who wanted to get out of Manchester City.

Last season Manchester United finished in 3rd place now with the addition of new players there is hope of moving up to a better position.

Certainly. Every season there are new challenges that must be faced by every team and indeed Man United's preparations are almost complete to welcome this new season with the hope of winning the EPL league title of course, on the other hand, Arsenal has also completed its squad of course this is also a threat to its competitors, as well as Newcastle which is very active in the transfer market, Man city is still strong even though several players were released, and Chelsea started to organize itself from scratch.

Looking at the preparations of all the big teams to welcome the new season, this will make the competition even more fierce for the EPL League, and even more exciting with the presence of Man United, Arsenal, and Newcastle in the Champions League. Of course, this is a challenge for them to be able to maintain concentration in every game even though they have to play in various competitions.

[Minor Miner]

Guardiola has not been keen on making too many changes within his squad this season. He remains happy with his previous squad. And Guardiola is well aware that Manchester City will win the title next season if his squad's performances are consistent. I think Guardiola is now fully focused on strengthening the friendly relationship between the players. If the understanding between the players is good, the performance of the team is stable. Guardiola's match strategy is also excellent. City players have been able to easily adapt themselves to Guardiola's match tactics.

I also think so and with the exit of several players I think it will not affect the team's performance too much because so far Guardiola's children are quite fierce now and they just need to be consistent to be able to become champions again, in terms of the quality of the players, and the quality of the game, of course the team Manchester City are very strong and solid now.
What Guardiola has built is a protracted process and they are now at a successful point because they have gone through the process, now Guardiola only needs to make a balance in this team so that performance is maintained.

You are right. It was a long process. Guardiola has taken a lot of time to stabilize this team. Guardiola became the coach of Manchester City in 2016. Manchester City's performance gradually improved thereafter. The City team won the Premier League title in the 2017-18 season. Manchester City has dominated the Premier League in every season except the 2019-20 season. But Guardiola strengthened and stabilized his squad to win the Champions League title. Guardiola did a great job. And since he is the coach of Manchester City, hopefully, we will see good performances from this team next season as well.
