Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Leviathan.007]

Arteta had an amazing performance and they were playing Manchester City today while due to the recent games from Manchester City we were expecting to see Pep Guardiola and his players winning this match but in this game, both teams had a close performance with each other and the game finished with a 1-1 result but in the penalty kicks Arsenal won the game and Fa Community Shield,
We can now wait for the next season and see an amazing performance from Arteta and his payer and they have the same performance in the next season.

So far the improvement in the squad reshuffle carried out by Eddie Howe provides a sign that Newcastle United will be able to compete more strongly next season either in the Premier League or in the Champions League. Statistically what they have shown last season gives a big meaning that Newcastle United is no longer a fortune for their progress in the next season but a target they are building to win a trophy.

If you look at how they performed in a number of pre-season matches this was indeed quite satisfying. Their performance may not be as brilliant as other big clubs in the EPL, especially to compete with top-class clubs. However, their performance has progressed quite well, at least the consistency of their performance, the application of tactics by their coaches is quite good on the field. Their consistency, especially on the field these few matches have been enough to prove that they can indeed be stronger this season compared to the previous season. It's just a matter of how Eddie Howe sharpens and strengthens his squad through tactics that suit them perfectly.

I'm also happy about Arsenal's win of today and I wished they had won the Premiere League last season but today's win for me was also a bit of a mistake by Guardiola. He probably underestimated Arsenal because in a game like this Bruyne has to be in the starting line-up and not come on as a substitute in the 64th minute. 10 minutes after being substituted on, he immediately made the assist for the goal.

Since Arsenal's squad standard is inferior to that of Manchester City's, despite the fact that Arsenal recruited several new players to the team, I didn't anticipate that they would be able to win the Community Shield today. In fact, I am relieved that they did. De Bruyne wasn't given the opportunity to start because, in my opinion, Guardiola underrated Arsenal. I think if Guardiola had combined these two players together after adding De-Bruyne and taking out Haaland, they would have won the game with ease. I won't hold it against him much, though; there could be a reason he doesn't use them together.

Though Arsenal won but I'm not pleased with Kai Havertz performance. I expected Arteta to substitute him in the early minutes of the second half but that didn't happen, rather Justin Timber who was having a fantastic game was replaced by Tierney who couldn't do much to prevent Cole Palmer's opener. Arteta made some errors with his changes in the game.

I don't even expect Arteta to use Kai Havertz to top strike because he doesn't have the ability to play that position as well as Nketiah or Trossard. Since I witnessed Kai Havertz's weak striking performances in Chelsea. But maybe he is performing better on the training ground, which is why Arteta is still giving him that much opportunity. Seriously, Kai Havertz performed poorly in that striking position today. I also don't expect  him to stay in the game for a long time today; he was expected to sub in the first half.

I don't understand why 11 minutes was added... Some strange match... City should have won, but on 101 minutes Arsenal scored a goal... For me there is a lot of confusion in this game... Arsenal of course also played well, but somehow strange they scored a goal in 11 extra minutes...

Are you trying to say stoppage time was erroneously awarded?
From what I understand, they calculate all the stoppage times and then that how they determine the total time.

If you watched world cup, you will notice that there are now new changes. Seeing 1 or 2 minutes of stoppage time will be a thing of the past.

[trendcoin]

What a recovery in the final minutes for Arsenal.

The draw was deserved and they won the lottery of penalties.

They did this a lot last season. They had some great comebacks in a couple of games. One of them was against Bournemouth where they went from 2-0 losing to 2-3 winners. Obviously, the goal they scored today was a lucky goal, but they played a good game against Manchester City for 90 minutes. So, we have to emphasize that they played well. However, I think Manchester City will win the league again because Pep will be able to get the maximum out of the current squad. Manchester City are still the best in this league.

do you think that Newcastle is not a big team? or do you not know how the history of Newcastle in the past?
indeed, at this time Newcastle is lost from its heyday, not like it used to be because many teams have improved the performance of their players and from a financial point of view it is very different. but you should know that in the past Newcastle had won the premier league and was very much feared by other teams like now Man City but unfortunately that time has passed and now it has become a new era for other teams and I admire Newcastle efforts which are slowly improving his performance to return to his former glory and give his fans pride.
it might be a little difficult but if Eddie Howe has the right strategy and is also consistent with his training Im sure it not be impossible to get up again.

We can now wait for the next season and see an amazing performance from Arteta and his payer and they have the same performance in the next season.

If we look at the games of the two teams in the Community Shield cup final match, it is clear that Manchester City strength is still quite strong even though several of their core players have left in this transfer window. However, arsenal had the luck to win the Trophy Community Shield via a penalty shootout.

Now, for Arteta, this is a pretty good start after they won and will be ready to compete next season in providing competition like they did last season. Apart from that, we saw nothing surprising from Erling Haaland in this match because usually he always makes trouble for the opponent's defense with all the ways he can to score goals.

[TopT3ns]

The addition extra time that was given was 8 minutes, so after spending like 5 minutes out of the 8 minutes additional time that was given, their was a collision between Manchester City player and Arsenal player which they wasted fee minutes of their time, i think the time wasted was added to the 8 minutes and that was why the referee didn’t blow the final whistle early, if they didn’t waste that time, am sure he will have blown the whistle early and the goal scored by Arsenal won’t have happen.

It's a shame that Manchester City didn't score in the extra half given by the referee, and congratulations to Arsenal, who managed to withstand the barrage of attacks from Manchester City. Even though Manchester City has many great players who should easily bring victory in the match against Arsenal, in reality, when playing on the field, the strategy must be used properly so that quality players like Erling Haaland can score many goals through teamwork.

I don't understand why 11 minutes was added... Some strange match... City should have won, but on 101 minutes Arsenal scored a goal... For me there is a lot of confusion in this game... Arsenal of course also played well, but somehow strange they scored a goal in 11 extra minutes...

You will have too many cases like this in coming season due to rule change, hopefully now you will be ready for the time like this and shocking results like this as well.

Unbelievable thing happened with arsenal. I guess if it's pure luck caused by the ball was getting changing its direction after it was hitting city's defender. I would like to call that if arsenal is lucky enough in this game.
There's no a better factor than getting luck at the end of game for scoring a goal and make the situation to be draw. I kinda feel if 11 minutes was quite long. The pressure that comes from arsenal didn't work, but trossard's shoot was giving a hope for arsenal;.
Just congrats for arsenal. It seems like that luck is also still playing the biggest factor that can change the situation in the game. The ball rebound was preventing city from winning the trophy.
City has been trying so hard but city doesn't wanna use KDB together with halaand is very strange. It's caused by this is the best combination owned by city at this moment.

Honestly I was expecting Manchester City to win this Community Shield title one way or another. I waited for a good competition at the beginning of the season of course. Because this was the first official game for both teams so I didn't expect so many goals. We were about to find out which side was readier than the other one.

Palmer's goal was really lovely and I thought the game was going to end by 1-0. But it was unbelievable that there was a stoppage time of more than 10 minutes and Trossard scored the equalizer in the last moments. This was the turning point for Arsenal as they won by 4-1 on penalties.

The inclusion of more time into matches due to time wasted, celebration and injuries, and all that takes time in matches. This would begin to make matches to be more tense from 90mins of ended time, to the additional time. As a result, games will now regularly end in draws or victories in the dying seconds.
Manchester City would have won the Community Shield Cup if the game had ended when it was scheduled to, but time squandered during the game allowed Arsenal to draw the score at 101 minutes. As a result, Arsenal was fortunate enough to score in the last few moments to draw the score and go on to win on penalties.

Eddie Howe believes in going slow. And strengthening the team gradually makes it last longer. Perhaps this is why Eddie Howe is in no rush to strengthen his squad. I wouldn't have high hopes for Newcastle in the Champions League next season. But expect this team to fight for the top four of the Premier League table.

I think Eddie Howe long-term approach to Newcastle United's ownership and management emphasises gradual squad stabilisation and investment in emerging potential. While their Champions League aspirations may be doable in the future, success in both home and European competitions will depend on gradually strengthening the team. Newcastle voyage in the forthcoming season may be shaped by Eddie Howe cautious attitude and the management confidence in him.

Newcastle can't be competitive for the Champions League much for now. Maybe they are one of the richest teams in Europe but they still can't make their squad one of the bests yet. It isn't an easy task to convince big names into their squad despite qualifying for the Champions League. They need to maintain consistency in the Premier League first.

Once they convince bigger names with their performance then they will able to bring that kind of players easier. Those players are already playing for top teams in the end. Newcastle will need to give them a reason why to join them instead.

Newcastle have gone from the bottom of the standings to the top 4 in just one season.... And they didn't have any superstars in the squad... That was a huge surprise from that team for me..... I would never have thought that this is possible, especially in the EPL where there are so many good clubs.... So in the Champions League there could be a surprise too..... I will hope so...

Yes, Newcastle was at the bottom of the first fours teams in the Premier League in the last season but they still had a good performance because we were not expecting to see them even at this place of the league while other teams like Liverpool were not even in the place to get the ticket for the Champions League.
I think Newcastle had to invest more for the next season and hire better players while they are going to race with great teams but Newcastle didn't hire many players to improve the team.

He picked up the injury in pre-season with Atalanta and it is rumored that it wasn't too severe and healed quickly and is reportedly only a few weeks away.
But with conditions like this, the pressure will be even greater.
First he has to adapt to a new club and new players and coaching schemes.
Secondly, he also has to re-adapt to his game after the injury and this may not go well.
Hojlund's drama is likely to continue and we can only wait for his debut at Manchester United after the long drama.

Nothing changes, the new signing would be the primary striker for Erik Ten Hag and the red devil's. Manchester United signed this tender attacker, although he was in the best XI of Atalanta, which is Italian football, and he adapted brilliantly. This is England, Manchester United, and the fans have high expectations for the wonder kid, who has been in the system for some time and has gained experience in the style of game. But I'd say we shouldn't expect Rasmus Hojlund to reach his peak currently; he's wounded and will need time to recover, but he has yet to make his club debut, which is understandable.

I'm sure Erik Ten Hag will do his best to fit in with Manchester United. Hojlund can meet the expectations as a potential striker if the players can create positions in the game in general. If he doesn't live up to expectations, then Manchester United will be severely criticized for signing him.

I understand that Man Utd are disappointed with Rasmus Hojlund's condition. Because Man Utd spent a lot of money to bring in this player. Or it could be said that Rasmus Hojlund is Man Utd's most expensive striker at the moment. But with Rasmus Hojlund's current mild injury condition. So of course he won't be making his Man Utd debut any time soon. Reportedly he will miss two matches in the Premier League. So that Erik Ten Heg definitely has to think hard again to concoct a re-strategy for the club.
Erik Ten Heg really likes this player. Because he is the type of player that fits the strategy that is usually applied by Erik Ten heg. But Erik Ten Heg must be patient and wait for this player to recover properly. And yeah this will be a loss for the club. But I hope Rasmus Hojlund continues to have the support of everyone in the squad. Because he also has to maintain his mentality and must not let the club down when he recovers and starts playing with the club.

Rasmus Hojlund' is only 20 years old. If Ten Hag is expecting a world-class performance from Rasmus Hojlund right now, he is mistaken. Even I would say Rasmus Hojlund is still not fit for Manchester United's starting XI. And Rasmus Hojlund is still far behind Haaland, Osimhen, Vlahovic and Mbappe. Rasmus Hojlund has to be kept under strict supervision by coach Ten Hag.
However, Rasmus Hojlund was injured before the start of the season. He could not sweeten the memory of the start with United. In the beginning, he met with accidents. I don't know if he will be able to adapt himself to Manchester United or if he will be able to perform well.

Ten Hag could not choose many players to have a good striker for the next season because we know the players at a high level like Mbappe and Osimhen are usually very expensive and this not even possible to hire these players who have a huge amount of money because a player like Mbappe or Haaland is very much valuable and their team will not lose these payers.
But Hojlund is a young player and he is a good investment for Manchester United in the next few years because he can even improve his performance there.

Exactly. De Gea was way younger when he transferred to United from Atletico to replace the legendary Edwin van der Sar. You can't use the lack of experience excuse on Onana either since he got enough already for professional footballers's standard so his mistakes is mostly due to his poor decision making and overall skills as a goalkeeper.

Manchester united will suffer major setbacks this new season, it's just a matter of time before everything stand appropriate for the club. The new goalkeeper, Andre Onana been criticized by fans for his poor performance in friendly games. The Cameroonian have good footings on the ball and always outside his box, so conceding far away shots would be achievable by his opponents. United former goalkeeper, David de Gea had his own blunders, but he still made good performance at Old Trafford. Then look at the Andre Onana, already opening his weaknesses and the league haven't started, let's see how everything will plan out.

Onana was one of the best goalkeepers of Serie A and I think the friendly games do not show the true commitment of any player,they are just to test the team.If Manchester United has made on right choice in this summer transfer market is this goalkeeper as we will all see great ball saves by him,just like he did with Inter Milan.I think that although Manchester United may be has not bought the best players during this summer this goalkeeper will contribute to the team in a lower number of conceded goals compared to the previous season and I am pretty confident about it.

I remember some people were comparing De Gea and Onana which showed us that Onana had a better performance in Serie A however I think the situation in these two leagues is not the same and Onana had a good performance there is a chance to have a weaker performance in Premier League because I saw Premier League for more and better strikers and more goals in the games while in Serie A the playing style is not the same with Premier League.

Because this was the first official game for both teams so I didn't expect so many goals. We were about to find out which side was readier than the other one.

The fact that if trossard's shoot was helping the club to win the title. It has been so many years since arsenal was winning its first community shield title. It's really strange to see how manchester city was not playing haaland together with KDB or even kovacic.
I expect a better formation rather than put KDB in the bench to be played during the second half. M city was not lucky enough in this game. It can be seen from how trossard's shoot was able to change its direction.
He was a savior for arsenal. Havertz played so badly by missing so many changes. There are so many unpredictable things.

Palmer's goal was really lovely and I thought the game was going to end by 1-0. But it was unbelievable that there was a stoppage time of more than 10 minutes and Trossard scored the equalizer in the last moments. This was the turning point for Arsenal as they won by 4-1 on penalties.

True, im quite surprising to see how long the additional gime being given by the referee. KDB was making bad execution in the penalty in result it was also impacting the execution from his team mate.
City's goal keeper is not that good when it comes to the penalty.

Pep Guardiola losing to his former boy, Mikel Arteta for the very first time, more like celebrating their victory. No one expected the winning outcome of Arsenal, they all thought as usual, Arsenal will struggle until they conceded and give up, but reversed was the whole scenario, they fight back and claimed their triumphed in the final. Manchester losing to Arsenal on penalty shootouts doesn't bother me, what baffles me is that, the gunners have the strength to hold city down full time draw. That implies that Arsenal are not holding back, they put in everything they got, and deserved the trophy.

Because this was the first official game for both teams so I didn't expect so many goals. We were about to find out which side was readier than the other one.

I assumed Arsenal would not be able to equalize the score after Manchester City took the lead after 77 minutes of play. Unexpectedly, and with the game practically over, Arsenal managed to score another goal. The game's flow is fantastic. If Manchester City wins this game, everyone will assume that they are doing the same thing they did last season, but in all honesty, I don't believe that will be the case. And I've been predicting that when the new season started, teams would start scoring goals against Manchester City, and now it has happened. Most people, in my opinion, did not predict that Arsenal would equalize the game. But thankfully, they do so even as the game was about to end.

Although I was expecting a more intelligent formation than they used in the first half, I was astonished when the game began without Kelvin Debryune. They may have first refused to include him because they believe they can win Arsenal or because they are continuing to act in the same way they did during the previous season. Congratulations to all Arsenal supporters; it's a great accomplishment for us as we have a strong start to the season.

There was plenty of competition on the pitch though despite Manchester City attacking more, Arsenal's goalkeeper could easily fend off attacks. The first half of the game until half time was a tight battle between the two teams although Arsenal had one less attack. After Manchester City scored a goal in extra time Arsenal had a chance and capitalized on it to draw 1-1 and I couldn't keep my cool at the penalty shootout. Because the number of penalty misses is incomparable but Arsenal's players have not missed a single penalty. So the Arsenal players were quite experienced and calm.

We can't judge Onana's performance at the moment because he plays for Manchester United in the Premier League In the new season, we can not judge whether Onana can be better than De Gea or not.
But from several pre-season matches, Onana actually did appear so bad not and he seems to be able to provide a competitive game for Manchester United in the future.

If you say that Onana's game in Serie A is clearly very different, considering that the Premier League is filled with big, strong clubs with attacking players for each club, it is very sharp.

The loss of Manchester City has caused a lot of people to suffer financial losses. My guess if so many people were taking manchester city to win the game but the goal from trossard was destroying the hope to multiple their bucks instantly.
I have been watching how frustrated my friend caused by he was going all in manchester city. It's unimaginable to see a lucky goal from trossard. Only a few minutes away before the game end but trossard was surprisingly making a shoot that was bouncing to the different direction.
Man City's goalkeeper was ready to block the shot, but the ball's direction changed dramatically after hitting a City defender, which is bad. Many people were almost winning the game by picking city.
Trossard's lucky shoot was destroying their hope to multiple their money easily through this game. It's unimaginable shoot for me. I think trossard was panickely shooting it before the end of game.
It's an enormous gamble taken by him.

[Polkeins]

I don't understand why 11 minutes was added... Some strange match... City should have won, but on 101 minutes Arsenal scored a goal... For me there is a lot of confusion in this game... Arsenal of course also played well, but somehow strange they scored a goal in 11 extra minutes...

Apparently the referees were advised to add as they did at the World Cup for any time drags so that players would not fake at the end of the match and stall for time. I remember I think they added 13 minutes at the World Cup, so apparently they will do the same in the English league.
I think it was originally 8 minutes, but then players collided heads and so they had to add more.

Manchester City played well, just unlucky. Probably should have changed Haaland earlier, it just wasn't his day. De Bruyne came on as a substitute and gave a goal, but missed in the penalty shootout.

[rendravolt]

I still didn't expect Arsenal to be able to beat Manchester City in the Community Shield final and even though everything had to go through a penalty shootout, it was very clear that Aaron Ramsdale was a savior because he managed to save two penalties from Manchester City players. Even in normal 90 minutes there was hardly a goal scored but everything changed when Cole Palmer came on in the second half and scored a wonderful goal for Manchester City. Victory was almost certain at the hands of Manchester City but surprisingly Leandro Trossard scored an injury time equalizer to draw the score. After that, Pep Guardiola's face looked annoyed because his team had to concede in the last minute, but it seems like Manchester City's fate to win the community shield title doesn't always go smoothly and they have to accept the fact that they have never won in a row in the last 3 seasons in this competition.

Anyway, congratulations for Arsenal's first title this season and hope there will be more titles they can get later, especially the EPL title which they lost last season.
