Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Harry Maguire is the player who makes the most individual mistakes at Manchester United. If a goal is scored as a result of his mistake, Onana gets very angry. When we empathize, everyone feels the same. Goalkeepers hate scoring goals and conceding a goal because of a mistake can make them angry. I hope Onana can show the success of his former team under the Manchester United jersey.

But on another note, Onana must also be able to focus when building attacks from below because there are not a few phenomena where blunders occur and that creates ridiculous goals. I know that Erik Ten Hag expects a game plan from the bottom line and Onana is the right person. Unfortunately defenders also have to understand Onana's wishes. Apart from blunders, what often happens is miscommunication between the goalkeeper and the defenders, including the goalkeeper according to Onana's criteria, who is often far from his own goal so that the opponent can take a long-range shot at the goal without being guarded. The bottom line is 50:50 when Onana and Erik Ten Hag changed game strategy and however the risk was much greater.

In your opinion, how true are the rumors about a hypothetical transfer of Herry Kane to Bayern Munich?
Apparently Tottenham have rejected the offer of 100 million from Bayern Munich and it seems that the president of the spurs has even gone on holiday.
Can Harry rest his soul and stay in the premier league once again? what do you think about it?

we all will not know about the truth of Harry Kane transfer to Bayern Munich whereas there have always been rejections of offers from Munich and until now Kane is still playing for Spurs. from some rumors, I see that the chances of Munich getting Harry Kane are very slim and Spurs retain this flagship player to extend his contract for at least one more season after that just think about where he should go.
but this is just my speculation there is no guarantee that he will stay at Spurs and for sure we know that Spurs still really need this reliable player even though they always fail in the EPL competition but Kane is forced to stay unless there is no clarity towards the end of the contract and leave being a free agent and Munich chance to get this player.

TBH, I actually prefer Harry Kane to go to another team because a star player like this needs a big team to determine his career better to win a more popular title like UCL.

Nkunku will certainly not be able to strengthen Chelsea against Liverpool in the EPL match this week. The new Chelsea striker, who was expected to be the team's foundation, had to be out for several months due to a meniscus knee injury and had to undergo surgery immediately. It's a shame even though Nkunku always performs optimally when defending Chelsea in pre-season matches, but sometimes fate says otherwise. Now Chelsea is hunting for another new striker and it is rumored that it leads to Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, but Chelsea wants Vlahovic to exchange with Lukaku to facilitate his transfer and the rest is just a small fee.

This is old news that has not been realized to this day reportedly some parties do not agree with this method, Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea coach was a little hesitant to bring in Vlahovic because Vlahovic's performance while joining Juventus was not too impressive he is even said to have failed to compete as a striker in Serie A and Vlahovic said he still wants to keep playing with Juventus but if Juventus want to keep letting him go then he hopes the next destination is PSG not Chelsea.

From here we can see 2 different opinions between the Chelsea coach and Vlahovic which means it will be difficult to reach an agreement, Chelsea must focus on other players or keep using Lukaku as an alternative, who knows Pochettino could turn it into something better.

Right now, situation is very interested in transfer window with Harry Kane saga is on and now Vlahović is also under radar, but things are not favorable for him because if we have no positive ending of Tottenham vs Bayern Munich then most chances he will go to Bayern Munich and Chelsea have to prepare for something else which is not clear Mauricio Pochettino is not favouring Vlahović for the Chelsea and Juventus wants Lukaku, but they want swap with minor fees which is surely acceptable for the both clubs but how this will end it's not clear as well.

Just three weeks left in transfer window, and we are having few teams still unable to fix their problems which is surely going to have too much uncertainty about their performance and better end of the season as well but hopefully few things will be clear before this all is going to be more complicated.

Liverpool has officially ended their pre season tour with gets the winning result against Bundesliga team Darmstadt with final scores 3-1 and during the match Liverpool has been showing their domination that since the beginning of first half Liverpool were playing with full attacking and it took only 5 minutes to Moh Salah has bringing Liverpool to leading the match and Liverpool closed the game with fantastic goal from Luis Diaz

Liverpool has been through an 5 matches during pre season tour and they got 1 loses from Bayern Munich this isn't too impressive indeed and Klopp has been realized this situation because immediatelly Liverpool very required new holding midfielder because after Fabinho decide to leave Liverpool still hasn't gets his replacement yet although they were linked to Southampton player Romeo Latvia but until now there was no good progress regarding this transfer

I think this is the most difficult transfer negotiation process in several seasons. Even I am surprised that Tottenham turned down a third offer which was £100 million. It seems that Tottenham doesn't care too much about money. They just want the striker to stay afloat. Even in the last game, the Tottenham fans shouted slogans aimed at Kane to stay at the Tottenham club. I think it's going to be difficult for Kane.

And Harry Kane seems to be relaxing in this regard too. He said he was even ready to make a new contract if this transfer market failed to reach an agreement with Tottenham.
I think if Bayern dares to make a higher 4th offer then Kane will go to Bayern.

Your are Tottenham don't wanna sell Harry Kane, but this season that they have not gotten any back of striker to replace him. Its obvious Kane will sign for Tottenham for just a year, the fans loves him so much he has earned so much trust with the fans. and he is not pushing to leave, he is just there watching the clubs negotiating, Bayern Munchi is ready to pay any amount to get Harry Kane this season, Bayern is in need of a good striker to replace Mane. and Kane is just the perfect match for them.

i just hope Harry Kane make the right the decision, for  his future he has to move on from Tottenham, he needs to win trophy, the Tottenham project will not help him.

I think Arteta gained significant experience from last year and will warn his players about this. Manchester City were lucky because last year Arsenal have been losing in the league with huge inconsistencies lately. I don't think we will follow the same scenario this year. If Arsenal takes the lead this year, they will continue to develop various tactics with Arteta to use this advantage.

Maybe the problem is whether Arsenal can continue to be consistent throughout the season? we often find that Arsenal always leads the top of the standings at the beginning of the competition to the middle, but they are always destroyed when the competition is about to end. I think Arsenal's job remains the same, namely to continue to improve the consistency that so far they have not been able to completely fix.

Meanwhile, Manchester City can sometimes do two things, they excel from the start of the season to the end of the season and sometimes even though they have slipped in the middle of the season they are able to correct mistakes to close the competition with a title that is their pride.

Although Bayern Munich dares to make a higher 4th offer, but I think Tottenham maybe will still hold Kane at there, because they don't want to lose Kane anyway. Considering also so far he is the only one who can dependable in every match. But unfortunately, we think Harry Kane should be able to be at right club like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, moreover he has to get a lot of achievements in Europa considering his ability as a striker also really great.

I think Arsenal's job remains the same, namely to continue to improve the consistency that so far they have not been able to completely fix.

Arsenal are very inconsistent with their performance and it is like their chronic problem in last twenty years or longer. They can have many good matches but when expectation on them is very high, they failed to beat pressure and start to lose more matches. A last season is the same with Arsenal as they failed under pressure and lost some matches to lose all advantage they got in most of season.

Meanwhile, Manchester City can sometimes do two things, they excel from the start of the season to the end of the season and sometimes even though they have slipped in the middle of the season they are able to correct mistakes to close the competition with a title that is their pride.

Manchester City have enough experience to win Premier League and they have habit to win it. They have very good players, deeply enough to alternate their players when the season comes to important months like after Christmas and New year holidays. It is their biggest advantage than many clubs in Premier League and if compare it to Arsenal, it is very big advantage from Manchester City. Arsenal don't have too many players to alternate like Manchester City.

When talking about Harry Kane's career, of course it would be better for him to leave Tottenham this season. And actually Bayer is the right club for Kane to be able to make himself win several trophies in his career. He is a very great player so it would be a shame if his entire career was only spent at Tottenham. But Tottenham will certainly find it difficult to find a replacement for Kane who has the same level of performance as Kane. And I personally would even say that Tottenham will really get worse in the EPL if Kane is let go from the club. And yes the club knows about it. So now is not the time for the club to think about high bids. But they just have to prioritize keeping Kane as long as possible. Well, between the interests of the club and the interests of Kane actually have different crossroads. Kane should pursue a better career. and the club also want to maintain the club's form with the help of Kane. It's a really tricky situation.

Some persons have a different view about the game, they feel Guardiola made a huge gamble with the game by deciding to leave Kevin De Bruyne on the bench against a team like Arsenal who will always play good football and try to hold possession throughout the game but I feel Arsenal have made huge improvements and are on a fast track to matching City and that was practically put in play against Manchester City in that game.

I do not agree that Arsenal can be compared with City, Guardiola does what he sees fit, besides this is only the beginning of the season and perhaps he had reasons to do so with De Bruyne. Agree when the referee adds 11 minutes of extra time to the main time, this is not normal, but that’s not even the point, I don’t think that anything has changed much and therefore I think that Arsenal will not be able to compete with City on equal terms in the Premier League.

Even I am also agreed about this but still this was good performance from the Arsenal in this match, and we already have good rivalry between them in last season with things can go for another tough season because both coaches are learning from their mistakes and try to have better performance in this coming season even now Arsenal is having more burden but still we can expect impressive run because they already fix their few problems which is good, and now they are comparable with Manchester City for the title race.

Guardiola is having very good strategy which is now surely helping him and his team, hopefully now in Premier League he will be improved and will not allow his opponents for having any advantage for the title race.

Guardiola is having very good strategy which is now surely helping him and his team, hopefully now in Premier League he will be improved and will not allow his opponents for having any advantage for the title race.

Yes, there is no doubt that Guardiola is able to find new players who are really right to fill in several lines, including at the back with the arrival of Josko Gvardiol, of course, it will make Manchester City's defense even stronger, even though yesterday they lost, at least the defeat on penalties did not make manchester city game looks bad.

Need adaptation for new players to play with the strategy given by Guardiola, of course, it will bring changes to the Manchester City game, ahead of the EPL match which will not take place very soon, of course, I can't wait to see how the Manchester City squad team can get another title in this new season, considering of course The competition is very tight in the EPL this season, but I believe Guardiola can bring the EPL title again this season.

[Unknown Op]

Manchester City are an important team and they have strengthened their defence by reinforcing Gvardiol. Still, I think Arsenal is a team that can compete with them. Both teams had competitive matches last year. Even though Arsenal haven't been successful in their last period, I can say that Manchester City is the most difficult opponent. I think we can see a rivalry between the two teams this year as well.

Some saw his decision to bench De Bruyne as a gamble against Arsenal possession based style of play, while others like yourself acknowledge Arsenal improvement but are still hesitant to compare them to City. Guardiola frequently bases his judgements on his strategic understanding and this early season action may have underlying causes. Although the prolonged extra time did draw criticism a more comprehensive analysis indicates that Arsenal may not yet be on the same level as City in the Premier League race. If these advancements can actually overthrow the current dominance only time will tell.

It surprises me to see that how anthony tylor gonna be a referee in the match between chelsea vs liverpool. There have been so many controversial decisions already made by him in so many matches. Even people have known so well how bad he was treating chelsea.
It's not a good day for chelsea to see how this referee was always putting chelsea at so many disadvantage. Even so many people called him as fraud referee.

I hope anthony can be a fair referee during the match against liverpool. I thought he had been deactivated before.

If we are to be fair in our judgement about Arsenal, we will have to admit that Arsenal has been good since last season. And their Cup final with Manchester City few days ago proved that Arsenal is a club to be feared this season.

I see that some people are always not comfortable comparing Arsenal to Manchester City. Thy feel that Manchester City is in a higher level than Arsenal. But I can tell you that the difference between Manchester City and Arsenal is just the squad depth. If Arsenal has a very good bench just like Manchester City does, Manchester City cannot beat Arsenal in England.

I wonder how Burnley will play against Man City.... Burnley are new this season and they immediately fell to the most difficult opponent in the EPL, especially after losing the Super Cup... Of last season's newbies, only Nottingham Forest remain... It will be interesting to see if Burnley can repeat such success....

[rendravolt]

Spurs introduced their new signing, Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg. He is a young defender that Spurs have signed for this summer and he has also made 36 appearances since last season with Wolfburg. His role was so important for the defense that the Spurs were interested in signing him. Coach Ange Postecoglou is certainly very pleased with the arrival of this young player and he also wants to ensure that Spurs will not be short of players for next season's competition. So far Spurs have signed every player in an even position from goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and striker, it looks like they are ready to fight for better results.

Watching Arsenal developing the strength and courage to face Manchester City is incredible, they got good qualities and still improving. Manchester City snatched the EPL trophy from Gunners. Mikel Arteta have proven to be a pre-eminent rival for Pep Guardiola in the English premier league campaign. The previous season, they both got really tough and competitive, both teams didn't relent in their actions, always one step ahead of others. We would witnessed another top run from them this new season, afterall they have signed more potential players and ready for kick-off.

I think it can also be an advantage to have a game like that very early. They don't have anything to lose and they can find out what their own condition is. If they lose that game big time, nobody will really care that much and they would rather play against Manchester City on the first day of the season than on the last day of the season when it might be a decisive game in the fight for the safe ranks in the table.

Can't wait to see how the game between Chelsea and Arsenal will end. It could end in a horrible start for one of the teams, but a draw would also be disappointing although I guess both teams would be ok with it after the results of last season.

Usually early and end of season are unpredictable, playing with new teammates and not really warmed up can be a reason of why early season is unpredictable. While the end of season, when a team already secure their position with big margin, they will play with their second layer or not really serious.

Arsenal should be win against Chelsea, recent with of Community Shield trophy should bump their mental and motivation.

In any case, Man City must remain vigilant because Arsenal currently has bigger targets, especially after returning to the Champions League their motivation will be even more intense than last season. Arteta and his squad cannot be underestimated, says Man City defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield Competition is a good sign and at the same time an evaluation for Arteta. Even though that's not enough, I can still see Arsenal ambition and it should be appreciated, we just need the right time to witness Arsenal's squad really being perfect.

You are right and I agree that referee Anthony Tylor has proven that in some games his decisions tend to be unfair. It could be that in this match Chelsea are at a disadvantage, to be honest I don't like the match led by Anthony Tylor.
