Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Zaguru12]

Manchester city won in a dramatic way on the road against Sheffield and they have again proven their consistency over the last few games. The goal scored by Rodri saved Manchester City from a draw and they are increasingly confident at the top of the standings at this time. I had doubts that Manchester City would win this match but anything can still happen, especially for the reigning EPL champions last season. Throughout 90 minutes, Pep Guardiola only made one substitution and that is sometimes a bit risky if the team is in a draw. But indeed the winning mentality for the Manchester City squad is unquestionable and they are doing well so far.

Manchester United truly show nerve of steel in this game, the penalty miss by Halaand in the first half was actually a bit disappointing and actually affected the team’s confidence in the match. So when Halaand scored in the second half with the nature of how the match was going Pep was scared to make any changes because the game needed markers and that was what was lacking from the bench, if you look at the current Manchester City bench you will see that it is bit weak right now with some departures and also injuries. You can see that it would have been a big gamble should he make changes in that match at first, but when Sheffield United squared the game he brought on Foden to help salvage a goal. This change was also a bit gamble because he needed the win too. So for now with the lack of options on the bench we would rarely see substitutes by Pep except games that they were able to finish off early and then he will introduce the young lads to give them more gaming time.

Newscastle fell back deep in the second half and Liverpool punished them for that. In the first half, Liverpool started poorly and that was reflected in the half time result. After Jota and Elliot (plus Nunez) came on, Liverpool played more better with an improved defending (Gomez, Matip and Allison were all brilliant) closing those gaps that Newcastle exploited in the half time.

In the end, it was Nunez who was made runs at the right time and with the right strike. For someone who always blanks, it was relieving to see him do 2/2 on Nick pope  

Newcastle didn’t fall back in this game to defend in fact they were on top of their game throughout the match but one thing that cost them against Manchester City also happened in this match too. Liverpool should have been more than a goal down before the hour mark had Newcastle converted their chances. Just like you said Allison was definitely the man of the match after Nunez, man denied almiron with some spectacular finger tip stops. Newcastle should have sealed the game had they been clinical upfront but they were let down by their finishing and final passes. My blame actually goes to Harvey Barnes he should have squared the ball to Callum Wilson on two occasions to extend the league but he decided to go all alone and it ended up costing the team.

Liverpool were hard done on this game but capitalizes on a very good counter attacking football from Darwin Nunez. He certainly proved why many fans have been calling for him to start ahead of Gakpo after his pre season games. This game proved that because Gakpo was totally not in the game and I thought he would have been the one to go out for Gomez instead of Luiz Diaz. Liverpool were definitely lucky thanks to Nunez super strikers, I would love to see him coming and start against Aston Villa next weekend because he certainly deserves it.

Manchester City has a way of managing every situation despite Sheffield not being a match for the city and what blows my mind most especially is the fact that for almost all the games the city has shown that they are still going to be the champions because currently I don't see anyone doing better than them, and in today's game they almost drew Sheffield but I was not scared because manchester city will always deliver as usual and Rodri saved the day by topping with a single goal and Haaland did well to have scored the first goal, and manchester city will always do what they know how to do best which is to win.

[Marykeller]

That was a great match, especially second half was fun to watch. Sheffield United actually played better than expectations and they almost got a point but Foden and Rodri said no to them. Haaland was marked whole game but still scored somehow, with a great assist from Grealish. Haaland missed a penalty for the first time though, it's not that important as long as they won the match and get 3 points. Manchester City looked like they are still the best team in PL. I don't see a competition here.

Manchester City are still the best team currently but their performance has quite reduced(not longer as it was last season).
If it was Manchester City we all know last season, they would have scored Sheffield United many goals in the first and second half of the match but this time around they are finding it difficult to score. Just that luck shone on them at the last minute of the match that made Rodrigo score the winning goal that made it 2-1. If not for that goal at 88 minutes of play, the match would have ended in a draw.
I don't see Manchester City repeating what they did last season of lifting the Premier League or Champions League title this season with their current form. Although the league is still open, there are many matches to play for them to re-strategize and readjust their team formation.

Is it because there is no Gundogan anymore in City which makes their performance a bit reduced this season especially in the midfield side?
Missing De bruyne seems to have a big impact as well for them, although they could still win the match and still be the only team with perfect points in 3 matches but there is something missing in the team.
However Manchester City is still favorite to win the league if we are looking at the other teams in the league which are also not improved much especially Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Of course it is just an early prediction because the season is still long way to go with many matches remaining where every team still have a lot of time to improve.

Who would have thought that Manchester City would be made nervous by the resistance made by Sheff United, yes even though they lost but they succeeded in making Manchester City have to work harder to ensure 3 points they brought home today.
Look at the difference in their game it is very clear. But Sheff realized that the opponent they faced was not an arbitrary club so they focused more on resistance. The second half Manchester City appeared more banged up again, but they missed in the 85th minute, I thought maybe this would be a draw, but in the 88th minute they were able to score again and ensure victory.

[Sim_card]

Everything changed in the last 10 minutes of the match and Liverpool managed to win this match. Even though 10 people played for most of the game, thanks to Darwin Nunez, they scored 2 goals in 10 minutes and won the match we were starting to think they would lose.
Newcastle United also played quite well but missed many opportunities, while Liverpool made a great comeback in the last minutes
We missed watching matches like this, I hope to watch pleasant match endings during the season

77th minute we have Darwin Núñez on field for the Liverpool and all things favoring them, and they have impressive win against all odds because once they were on @21 for the win as they were down to 10 men and trailing by 1 - 0 against the quality team Newcastle United but what a tactical change by Jürgen Klopp which bring positive impact on field for them, and they were able to won from no way.

Now it's going to be impressive change for them in coming matches because they are having seven points from three games and in top four teams which have no lost in their three games next game is against Aston Villa at Anfield hopefully they will keep their record best against them as well.

What a good welcome back by Liverpool after conceiving one goal in the first half. A super sub was made which Nunez showed himself as a game changer after he came from the bench to turn the game around for his club. It was one man down and Liverpool was still able to score two goals in the last 13mins of the match. Newcastle couldn't keep up with their performance in the second half,which led to a decline in their performance and Liverpool took that advantage to win the game. Newcastle has lost two games out of three this season. Liverpool has won two and draw one, what a good start for the trophy race.

Darwin Nunez succeeded becoming man of the matc for Liverpool, have to play with ten player after red card receiving by van Dijk in 28th minutes, Liverpool managed to win three points after Darwin Nunez's brace in the final minutes. Entering to replace Alexis MacAllister in the last 10 minutes, Darwin Nunez only needed 3 minutes to score the first goal in the 81st minute and one crucial goal in extra time made Darwin Nunez a super sub for Liverpool. Its amazing comeback for Liverpool and top perform from Darwin Nunez without ten minutes played success scoring brave and help Liverpool with three points achievement. Can't forgettable night for Darwin Nunez from brace scoring and Jjurgen Klopp have trust him again to get regular position.

It is true that Darwin Nunez managed to decide Liverpool's victory today in the match held at St. James's Park.
Newcastle who played at home, looked stunning in the first half which in fact succeeded in winning in the 25th minute. Newcastle, who appeared with 11 players, completely dominated the match against 10 Liverpool players, but in the end they had to swallow the bitter pill when Nunez became the hero of Liverpool's victory in last 15 minutes of the match.

To be honest this was a tiring game for Liverpool, but they are quite proud of the result. Newcastle deserved a point at home, but it hasn't been their best day and still continuing their losing streak.

It wasn't really an easy match for Manchester City, they dominated the match but couldn't score. It was kind of surprising to me, I wasn't expecting Sheffield Utd to even score in the match, but pressure was on Manchester City. Sheffield Utd were able to score one goal towards the end of the match, which made it an equalizing goal, but Manchester City was very lucky to score an additional goal, which makes it Sheffield Utd 1-2 Manchester City. The absence of their coach, Pep Guardiola, really had a negative impact on Manchester City's performance in today's match.

I don't see Manchester City repeating what they did last season of lifting the Premier League or Champions League title this season with their current form. Although the league is still open, there are many matches to play for them to re-strategize and readjust their team formation.

I don't really think that will be possible this season. I am not yet satisfied with Manchester City's performance this season, their performance was better last season than this current season. Manchester City is rearranging their squad, and De Bruyne's absence is also affecting their performance. Manchester City struggled to score in today's match, if De Bruyne was present in the match, then I am sure the match would have been different.

There's enough confidence from Liverpool players after the game, they believed and work extremely hard to secure their win. Jurgen Klopp repeat his streak winnings against Eddie Howe and the Magpies, they were very close of a draw tie but unfortunately Liverpool always go for the best results which is winning. The game was a tough one to decide, following Van Dijk. I'm shocked with the game results between Newcastle United and Liverpool. The Reds have a way of turning the game around and their hero, Darwin Núñez scored a brace to sealed the winning points to the visitors.

[Balmain]

It was Darwin Nunez's night, the fate of the game changed in 10 minutes, football is such a great game, a single player weaves the fate of the match. Nunez made a great start to the season, it couldn't have been better, this game will mean a lot for the game for the games ahead. Newcastle exerted full pressure for 80 minutes, while their opponent Liverpool was 10, so many goals were missed that meanwhile, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson
Becker made good saves and another hero of the match was Alisson. T. Alexander-Arnold's mistake was forgotten by Nunez's two goals. Arnold didn't seem to be concentrating at all at the beginning of the game.

[Mame89]

Oh cmon, I wasn't expecting Liverpool to overcome this with red card.
How this happened? I must watch highlights, lol

Nunez ftw

Of course this is a very rare thing to happen. What a comeback!! Klopp must always believe in Nunez, he is extraordinary. Maybe I think what Liverpool have to work on right now is sign a new CB before the next game, whether Van Dijk's red card appeal is successful or not. If Liverpool manages to do that by successfully recruiting a new CB, it will show the club's mentality to challenge for the Premier League title this season. Enough with the poor defending, this should be the last time Liverpool play with 10 men. Because for me to come back with 10 players is a blessing, also credit to Elliot, Jota and Darwin Nunez. All three made good use of their opportunities. This is what I like about Liverpool, they always fight until the final whistle is blown.

On the other hand it was Newcastle's own fault for doing so. They are too arrogant and They will also think Liverpool will not be able to make a comeback because Liverpool only have 10 players, they think they can handle Liverpool easily and take out players like Gordon and Tonali too early. Even though these two players are the main threat for Liverpool.

Yes, the goal in the last minutes was the most expected, because throughout the game Manchester City dominated very much, but Sheffield were lucky all the time, moreover, they even scored a goal in the 85th minute, I don't even know what it had to do with. Although even the goal didn't help Sheffield, they are still on the 17th line of the standings.

[ndutndut]

Liverpool are very lucky to get full 3 points in this match. I'd say Nunez is the only reason they got the 3 points. But I would have been happy if Newcastle had won. Because they deserve 3 points from this match. Throughout the match we saw the dominance of Newcastle players. The performance of Liverpool's players was very disappointing. Their main task was to repel Newcastle raids. But Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson played very well. Alisson would not have won this match if his performance was not good. Nunez scored the first goal in the 81st minute and the second goal in the 90th minute to seal the win.

What a game, three sweet points. Liverpool are the best team to win not just with everyone but with 10 men. You could say this is a big win to increase the confidence of Liverpool's players to face this season. Now they have pocketed seven points, only two points behind Man City, a good initial consideration to be able to compete in the EPL league. If you look at Nunez in that match, he seems to have learned the game from the bench and produced two shots on target and both resulted in goals. This is very cool.

Newcastle lost the match against 10 people at home, what a big mistake the Newcastle coach made when starting the second half he started to defend with only one goal ahead, how great the performance of 10 Liverpool people and never gave up.

To be honest, I think Sheffield is really expected to score when they can really put pressure on the Manchester City defense well. I believed that in the end Sheffield would score but unfortunately they failed to maintain the draw as Manchester City were able to take an early lead before the end.

In this match, Erling Haaland again scored a goal which put him at the top with 3 goals. Haaland didn't have many chances, but Manchester City's attack in this match was really good. It is undeniable that Sheffield really made it difficult for Manchester City to win this match even though in the end Sheffield had to give up.

[Velvet78]

What a comeback by Liverpool! Today they played a game in which they weren't even shown as the favourite side to win. Bookmakers were believing that Newcastle were the closer side to make it. However Liverpool beat them away last season while Newcastle were having a wonderful season as well.

But of course after seeing that Newcastle got ahead first and Liverpool got a red card I didn't give Liverpool much chance. Even getting a draw was seeming difficult to me. But Liverpool didn't even make do with that. Nunez became the game changer in this game a short time after he entered really.

[SatoPrincess]

I can't watch Manchester City vs Sheffield United anymore, completely one sided game and Sheffield United has no chance to reach Manchester City's defenders, after 70 minutes they've not made any shoot. Even though Manchester City win with big margin against Burnley, but Burnley was able to compete and made few shots. Props to Wesley Foderingham since he have made good saves.

Manchester City completely dominated the entire game against Sheffield United recording 30 shot attempts to 6, 80%-20% possession in the game and also recorded six times Sheffield United’s number of passes. Burnley is a more organized side than Sheffield United and it is expected that Burnley will put up a better performance even though they conceded more goals.

 Like I was surprised, what happened to Newcastle that was leading by a goal at half time, I even thought of them coming back to score more goals but the reverse was the case. Losing to Manchester City last week and today they lost to Liverpool who had only 10 men only the field is just disappointing.
 
 I just have to congratulate Liverpool on their victory because it wasn't easy even Klopp, he felt the heat and the pressure. Last week they won with a man down and today it happened in a more difficult situation, is becoming a habit I tell you. I think if you want to get the best of Liverpool is to take one man off the pitch and they'll give you a positive result, hope the winning streak will continue?

I call it a miracle for Liverpool when almost everyone believed Newcastle would win but the fact is Liverpool can make an impressive comeback ended the match with a final score of 2-1 for Liverpool win, we don't know if it's just luck or Liverpool have a strong mentality what is clear is this win is important for Liverpool to move up to take their place in the top 4 meanwhile Newcastle has dropped to 13th place.

Lots of surprises this week in Premier League matches several mid-table teams took part in the surprise one that attracts attention is West Ham unexpectedly managed to take 2nd place in the standings, but that is not enough to prove that they are a strong team unless they can win or draw against Manchester City in the middle of next month..

[ingiltere]

First Manchester City, then Liverpool made a comeback. Manchester United made a comeback yesterday. In this case, Arsenal was the loser of the week. While all their opponents received 3 points, they were content with 1 point.
It's been an interesting week for the Premier League. Manchester City made 3 out of 3 to show that they are favorites for the championship again. Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal also feel like they will be in the race. Not sure about Chelsea though. It looks like it will be a good competitive season again.

Liverpool were superb today to win this game after conceding a red card in the 28th minute of the game. I love the spirit and the level of determination they showed against Newcastle United today with a man down and managed to make a come back and finish in a win at full time, this is the kind if spirit I want to see in the Arsenal team. Congratulations to Liverpool for taking all three points with a man down away at St James park, definitely not an easy place to steal such a big win.
