Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[BRINIRHA]

Klopp is really taking a risky move by selling their two veteran midfielders, it's similar like Chelsea. Although the performance of both Chelsea and Liverpool in club friendlies are good enough, but we don't know what will happen in the real match.

Chelsea and Liverpool lack of midfielders.
Manchester United lack of strikers.

I would say Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United are shining in this season.

The transfer window is still open, and because both coaches are experienced, they will know whether or not to sign fresh players for the following season after selling some of them to other clubs. Teams who sell players do so due of the manager's decision; if those players cannot fit into the pattern of football they want to play, they easily release them and use the ones that are available, or better yet, look for better replacements for them. If they've been doing well even after selling some players, they should be able to do the same when the regular season begins.

Yeah right. For now there is still about 1 month left for all clubs who are still hunting for players in the transfer market. And I guess everyone should hurry up this time. Lately I think Chelsea have become more aggressive in the transfer market because even now the club is in the process of negotiating for Dusan Vlahovis who will be exchanged for R. Lukaku. And it looks like the two clubs have agreed.

Chelsea's performance in pre-season has also been very good and indeed, much praise has flooded the performance of the new Chelsea coach, Pochettino, who has indeed shown progress at a club that slumped last season. And yes, this is not an easy job. But it turns out Pochettino made it look easy. Well I'm looking forward to the real game in the next 2 weeks when the season starts. Will Chelsea be as good as in pre-season. Or maybe Chelsea will remain the same as last season.

[_BlackStar]

I don't think many of you have spoken about Liverpool during pre-season - why have they been ignored?
I know Liverpool weren't so good last season and they won't qualify for the Champions League next season - but I'm sure we'll do our best next season.

Performance-wise - I think Liverpool have done quite well in pre-season. Liverpool won 2/3 of the games and Darwin Nunez looked better right now. Darwin Nunez managed to score 4 goals in those 3 match - so I hope Halaand will get some tough competition from him next season. In a few hours - Liverpool will againt Bayern Munich. I hope Darwin Nunez scores too - it will give him a lot of confidence going into the Premier League.

I'm not too sure about Chelsea progress next season because I think they will struggle relatively when they have to face strong teams in the games they play. So far, I'm more interested in the developments that are happening at Liverpool because slowly, Kloop is able to make the quality of the squad more well-organized for their performances in pre-season matches. Even nunez is more confident that he can perform more optimally next season.

Chelsea are still considering getting several players to strengthen their club, especially the front and midfield. Ahh, actually they still need great players to strengthen their defense. yes, Chelsea does need a lot of talented players to make their club really able to get up again and be as victorious as before. But until now, it seems that signing several new players is still not enough. From a number of things, they are still rumors that Chelsea have just attracted or have not managed to get an agreement with several players from other clubs.

Even recently, we also heard that Chelsea also want to sign Mbappe, right? It probably won't work, so it's better for Chelsea to focus on other players

[Captain Corporate]

If Chelsea still needs a lot of players to be better, that is a big problem. Not that they do not need many players because they do, but also they have spent so much money, which means that its going to be a problem. If you spend that much and still need players, that is a big big issue and should be considered as failure. I personally would say that if a team spent that much money in a single year, they should have been fighting for the top position. In any case, they are smarter now, they sell some, they get some, and they are actually making a good result in the end, that's actually a good thing. Arsenal on the other hand, they are doing much better, I am expecting a lot from them.

[Sakanwa]

Last season the main competition for Haaland was Harry Kane, but as far as I understand he will be playing in a different league next season... So probably Haaland will remain the top scorer in the EPL, because he scores twice as much as the others... I would like to see new strikers at other clubs, maybe then Man City will have a good opponent...

I'm not sure which striker and from which team you'd like to talk about as a potential competitor for Haaland next season, but there's definitely going to be. Haaland was unstoppable last season, but I think his form can change from season to season. I'm not sure he'll score 2x as many goals as last season, but I think his average goals scored over the course of a season will still be above 30.

So far I still believe Harry Kane will stay at Tottenham so he will remain a competitor for Haaland. If in the end Bayern Munich agrees to some of Tottenham's special demands for Kane, then I think another striker will be on the front lines for the top scorer title. Manchester United, Newcastle, Chelsea and Liverpool all have great strikers, maybe one of them will be a great competitor for Haaland.

Harry Kane is the best striker in the EPL,and it won't be nice to lose such striker.I love the fact that Totteham placed a very high price on him so they will find it difficult to meet that price tag.Bayern are really very eager to get a deal done for him,knowing how good the player is,they are expected to come up with another bid that might get close to Tottenham's valuation of the player,but I still believe with you that the deal will not materialise,reason being that the period in the transfer window is now getting short,and Totthenham won't be able to get a player in the caliber of Kane,therefore,they will do everything possible to keep him at the club,even if they will be at risk of losing him for free next season.I also think Salah will get to his best next season,and will be able to compete with Haaland for the golden boot.It would be nice if about three or four players are competing fiercely for that golden boot next season,and I would love it if Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal is one of them.

If they've been doing well even after selling some players, they should be able to do the same when the regular season begins.

When the transfer window is still wide open like today, big clubs will consider players by looking at their games in friendly matches, but unfortunately, good players will have quite an expensive value, and that must be an important consideration for a team when they want to buy new players because, presently, not all teams have a large amount of money.

Chelsea's squad is not extremely big like before pochettino was coming to the club. Chelsea has been selling 13 players in total and more to come, as there are some names that yet to be sold to another club. I hope that if chelsea will not make me feel disappointed again with its performance in premier league. The new squad was much more promising compared with the old squad. The total players in the club is far too small compared with before chelsea was selling so many players.

That will be given consistently for the players to play caused by pochettino can pick the players easily to do some rotations in the club. Arsenal was doing better last year, but it's still uncertain how good arsenal in upcoming season.
We will not be able to know that without watching the performance from the club in the league directly. We have become even closer to the opening match of EPL.

It will be very interesting to see chelsea to face liverpool in opening match.

While the teams are getting ready for the next season and they are in the training camps but there is a chance for some players like Bernardo Silva to leave Machester City and join Barcelona in the next season.
However, because of the financial problems they have there is not much chance for Bernardo Silva to play in La Liga in the next season and Guardiola doesn't want to lose this player too.
But for any reason, if Bernardo Silva leaves Manchester City there will be hard days for this team to find players.

Bernado Silva is very important with Pep Guardiola and Manchester City and if I am right, Pep Guardiola at least did not want to lose Bernado Silva and in the past, he tried to prevent his transfer to another club. He successfully convinced the player to stay in Manchester City and together they won three titles in the past season with Champions League trophy is a most wanted one in the club history.

Bernado Silva surely can find new challenge as well as new opportunities and fresh experience but you are right too. Barcelona will need a lot of money to buy Bernado Silva from Manchester City and they must give him very high salary. I don't think Barcelona have both conditions but they will need one more important condition. They must be competitive enough in Champions League as Bernado will not be happy by playing for a club that easily drops to Europa League knock out matches after the group stage in Champions League.

Chelsea and Liverpool lack of midfielders.
Manchester United lack of strikers.

Are the comparison of the three teams(Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United) based on the weaknesses in their squad from the previous season? Both of the three teams lack the things you listed, but I believe that by adding fresh, high-quality players to their teams, things will start to improve.
Chelsea and Manchester United have no doubt taken the necessary steps to sign the players they require to fill the gaps in their team, but I am unsure of what Liverpool's coach and owner are up to. Whether they will sign additional players to their team at late hours.

I was impressed by Chelsea's new striker additions during the current transfer window as they participated in the preseason match that resulted in their first season-opening trophy.

[Rengga Jati]

Haaland is still above both of them because Haaland has proven the quality he had in the previous season, which managed to bring Manchester City to a treble winner.

Indeed, agree, proven...

Isak he is quite a talented player and he just needs time to show how aggressive he is in scoring lots of goals. Another thing he might need is support from the players to provide lots of assists to score goals.

Yes, it's a shame if the club can't maximize its potential due to the limited potential of the other players who are not able to really potentially support it.
He exactly really needs more contribution from other supports. Whatever the player is very potential, he cannot bring his team individually.

For Hojlund, he is a player who has the potential to become a star at Manchester United. We have seen the quality he has with Atalanta. But I hope he can adapt to the Premier League game.

Very curious about the results of how Hojlund will really enter and contribute to Man United. And see how Ten Hag polishes himself to become an extraordinary player at Man United as expected. but what is clear, he is a talented young player.

When you're an important player in the club, everybody will do anything  to retained him. Barcelona is also planning to combine the two outstanding players at Camp Nou, although it appears that the deal with Bernardo Silva would be extremely difficult to accomplish. Manchester City needs him, Pep Guardiola needs him, and the fans will need him; he will remain at Etihad Stadium and continue to set incredible records. Pep Guardiola is enthusiastic about Benardo Silva, who is one of the most essential players in his squad, alongside Kelvin De Bruyne.

It will not be so hard for a club that has won treble winners to find replacement for him. The main problem if it will be very hard to get a player that can adapt to the manchester city as good as silva.
The fact that if silva has been always contributing a lot to the club since a few years ago once he was coming to the manchester city. It will be so difficult for pep to let him go at this moment caused by he has become one of main players in the club.

City gonna be very hard in finding a new player that can adapt to the club like him. That's why city shall have done something better in securing him from another club.

It's difficult to say about the future of Bernardo Silva, sometimes Pep Guardiola says the opposite for his players. He is an important player for this club, and we really need him, after a few days the player in question left the club. Maybe Pep is acting like that to maintain the mentality and concentration of other players so they don't get distracted by the transfer market.

I think Man City, especially Pep, will have no trouble if they lose Silva, because there will be many other players they can easily recruit. But in line with what you said, sometimes the adaptation process will be the biggest challenge, especially since the EPL is very competitive every season.

Despite with rumor Bernando Silva leaves Manchester City in this summer but he still in starting line up last pre season match against Atletico Madrid, I don't think Pep Guardiola will loss Bernando Silva because still placed Silva in Manchester City scheme. Barcelona and PSG are teams linked for signing Bernando Silva not opening yet proposal with how much bid offer until few weeks later before window transfer closing.
Pep Guardiola seems not sell yet Bernando Silva although have many player available replace his position but Silva still important player under Guardiola's scheme.

Don't forget, Primer League will begin two weeks later and Manchester City will be opening match for FA Community Shiled against Arsenal, its seems interested for The Citizen opening first tittle in season 2023/24 by winning Community Shield tittle.

It is difficult to have a replacement that will fit in Sylva's spot because he has contributed a lot to the success of City and his presence do motivate his team. Leaving city is something of his choice and I know that Pep wouldn't hold back any player that choose to leave the club. Pep is a professional coach and Sylva leaving the club wouldn't be a problem for the team as Pep will cover up his spot with other players since the game of City doesn't lie on one player because all the players are superb.

[rendravolt]

David Raya is rumored to be getting closer to joining Arsenal and this breaks previous speculation that David Raya will be a back-up to Aaron Ramsdale. What is clear is that David Raya wants to join one of the big teams and Arsenal is his choice so it will be a competition between two goalkeepers for the starting position. An agreement in principle with Arsenal has been reached and is now in the stage of negotiating a fee with Brentford to let go of its flagship keeper. In your opinion, is David Raya really worthy of being Arsenal's main goalkeeper for next season?

Guardiola really wants to keep Bernardo Silva at Manchester City, he has contributed greatly to Manchester City success in winning the treble winner last season. City really hope the star who operates in the central area stays at the club for a few more seasons, but they cannot force it if the player wants to seek new challenges with other clubs. Barcelona offer to swap Bernardo Silva with De Jong needs to be considered, De Jong has the same character as Silva in playing his role in the central area.

Guardiola has just brought in Kovacic to fill the position of Gundogan who chose to go to Barcelona, Silva departure can be tricked by the player exchange offered by Barcelona. De Jong is reliable and is used to playing with a short passing style of play, I think Manchester City should consider this offer to maintain balance in the midfield.

[Despairo]

The transfer window is still open, and because both coaches are experienced, they will know whether or not to sign fresh players for the following season after selling some of them to other clubs. Teams who sell players do so due of the manager's decision; if those players cannot fit into the pattern of football they want to play, they easily release them and use the ones that are available, or better yet, look for better replacements for them. If they've been doing well even after selling some players, they should be able to do the same when the regular season begins.

It's not a matter whether the transfer window is still open or not, but suddenly changing the old midfielders with the new midfielders mostly will not work. It take time like 2-3 seasons to built up, the situation is similar like Real Madrid. Kroos, Modric and Casemiro were solid midfielders, but when Casemiro leaving and Modric get older, Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde are the next generation who will replace them.

Currently only Valverde is really performing in Real Madrid, Tchouameni and Camavinga are still struggling.

Barcelona offer to swap Bernardo Silva with De Jong needs to be considered, De Jong has the same character as Silva in playing his role in the central area.

Bernado Silva can play at different positions and he is very adaptive, flexible with different tactics. Pep definitely needs Bernado Silva for Manchester City's tactical operations and I do not say he will not find solutions to replace Bernado Silva but surely he will have to deal with some difficulty to replace the player either just temporarily or permanently.

De Jong is midfielder with different skills than Bernado Silva and he has his style to play with too low intensity which does not match with Manchester City style. Bernado Silva can provide more direct attacking power for Manchester City and he can infiltrate into defense system of opponent while De Jong plays too far from opponent's box.

Guardiola has just brought in Kovacic to fill the position of Gundogan who chose to go to Barcelona, Silva departure can be tricked by the player exchange offered by Barcelona. De Jong is reliable and is used to playing with a short passing style of play, I think Manchester City should consider this offer to maintain balance in the midfield.

Again I see Kovacic has very different skills than Gundogan and they don't have many similarities in their skills and playing styles. With Kovacic and De Jong as replacements for Bernado and Gundogan, Manchester City will have less flexible attacking power and even worse ability to break through opponent defense.

It's not a matter whether the transfer window is still open or not, but suddenly changing the old midfielders with the new midfielders mostly will not work. It take time like 2-3 seasons to built up, the situation is similar like Real Madrid.

Currently only Valverde is really performing in Real Madrid, Tchouameni and Camavinga are still struggling.

Valverde already had a solid position in Real Madrid and only Camavinga, Tchouameni will need to train more, play better to be matured and good enough to take over positions in midfield area of Real Madrid from Kroos and Modric. Camavinga looks good and he can replace Modric but I am not sure about Tchouameni who will need to work harder to prove himself.
