Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Wend]

Liverpool just experienced an unbelievable victory over Newcastle in the 3rd round. Despite being led and playing few people, Liverpool were still determined to win 3 points. But look at the squad Liverpool needs to be better at now to compete with the big teams. So, they must try to bring in some quality rookies before the transfer market closes. Their defense still needs to be stronger.  Typically, in the last match, Trent Alexander-Arnold made mistakes. The void reappears. Therefore, Klopp needs more cover for the defensive midfielders and the flanks.

Some, if not all the Manchester United fans won't agree with me but I have to say it.
When UTD played at home against Wolves, the ref refused to give the away team a penalty when Onana clashed against the Wolves player (to me that's a penalty) but the ref didn't give the penalty to Wolves, as if that wasn't enough they played against Nottingham Forest and Marcus Rashford dived on the penalty spot of the visiting team and after reviewing the ref gave a penalty to Manchester United and I just see it this way that the refs are favoring Manchester United whenever they play at home, I don't know if Old Trafford has this pressure on referees that makes them to favor United, is not really fair... Now I see why some fans always want UTD to lose any match they play.

The game against wolves should have been awarded a penalty but the official and the Var assistant did not give that to wolves. After the game though they were penalized for making wrong judgement for almost three weeks.
Say all you like most Man United fans will not agree but the other game they faced forest, it was clearly penalty, whoever objects on that clearly did not watch the match or you might have have some minor  issues with your lense.
They are struggling don't mean they are been favoured by the refreees during the game.

Good thing I'm not the one with lense issues.
But I'll tell you for free that if another player from a different team did same thing Rashford did (against Manchester United) it won't be given as a penalty and the player would be penalized.
You're a UTD fan I get it and I know you won't accept it. Let's see if they're going to do better than they did against Forest. Every game a team wins is a motivation to them so let's say they (Man UTD) are motivated to play the next game. I'll see if they can do better since they're playing away from home.

I know not many are interested in looking at teams from the bottom but what's your read on Everton's recent signing - Beto? Never heard of this striker before to be honest. Maybe he can help them get their first win of the season. He's still pretty young and may bring more threat to the opposing teams.

This weekend Everton will face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane and it is hoped that Everton can get a win in that game because Everton is facing an easier team even though Everton is far worse in terms of ranking in the current standings, but in terms of points it is still zero. So this weekend is a very good opportunity for Everton to pick up points at home to Sheffield United by relying on this young striker so that Everton can be outside the relegation zone.

What a crazy game it was! The most important thing is they managed to grab three points, but to be honest the match wasn't easy to deal. So now, Liverpool really needs to roll up their players and make their team stronger. It could really help if they bring in some good players before the transfer window closes. Right now, their squad is one of the smallest in the Premier League. But we know that it's not just about having tons of players, it's about having the right ones. anyway, Klopp should definitely pay some extra attention to level up their defense.

Liverpool team has been able to perform amazingly since the start of this league. Looking at this kind of performance of the team, it seems that this team can have great potential in this league. Hope the team players will continue this kind of good performance.

With your naive statement, it's very obvious you are a united hater because if I understand correctly you are saying that Manchester United in their home games are having some extra deals with referee making them favour United in terms of decision making. Well that's what you feel but these decisions by referee are never accurate as I believe even the supposed perfect VAR do make mistakes so who are refs not to also make it. And I believe the points you have also made is not only happening on Manchester United games as they are also lots of games when the referees decision is always looking as if he is favourable to a singlw Team in that game.

I actually think Arsenal are favorites in this game, they have started the season better than Manchester United and the match is also at the Emirates, thus i think Arsenal have the advantage. I don't know what you saw this weekend that makes you think Manchester United are in such good form, yes they came back from two goals down to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2, but they shouldn't even be going 2-0 down to Nottingham Forest in the first place, if it were a bigger team, it'd have been game, set and match.

Both teams were not at their best in their last game. Manchester United struggled to win the match against Nottingham Forest. But the good part of it was that they got the three points. Arsenal had the opportunity to win the game but they lost it even when Fulham lost Bassey due to a red card. I will agree that in this game Manchester United is the favorite. United indeed had some defensive issues in their last game but they fixed it up and won the match.

Having said that, it is either Arsenal wins, or the game ends in a draw, as for which of them would be in the title battle, it is definitely Arsenal for me, i can't see Manchester United competing for the EPL title this season or even winning it.

Arsenal will just have the advantage of playing in the Emirate stadium where they will have the needed support. But it could also put them under pressure if United score first. In their last four meetings, Arsenal has won two and United also won two and the winner have always scores three goals. I am predicting that the game will end in a draw, but if there will be a winner, it will be United.

Don't be biased here,I don't know why when it come to Manchester United,people are always saying that they are been favoured by the referee. That was a PK against Nottingham and not a manipulation. If you say that it isn't then you are wrong because it was clear that Rashford was knocked down.

This was what other football club fans was saying during when Sir Alex Ferguson was United coach. They will say that because the Queen of England and the Royal family are from England that is why they are favouring them. This say is always common with us Nigerians,I don't know if that is what people say in other countries too.

Ok fine he was knocked but that's not enough to bring him down. I'm not being biased just how I see it. Or do you want me to say they're lucky? No way...
Manchester United are still struggling to get that winning spark back but I don't see it coming too soon because they're going to find it hard to get to that winning ways, something is missing from that starting Eleven...
I like good football and I can't hide how I feel about a club.
And for that royal family stuff, that's rubbish and to those who say that , is lame.

I know not many are interested in looking at teams from the bottom but what's your read on Everton's recent signing - Beto? Never heard of this striker before to be honest. Maybe he can help them get their first win of the season. He's still pretty young and may bring more threat to the opposing teams.

He was playing in udinese as a striker last season. Everton was just seeing him as a potential striker to help club leave from its problem. The truth is beto had a better statistic compared with hojlund last season.
Beto made 10 goals from 33 match while hojlund was around 9 goals from 32 match. His price is also far compared with hojlund's price. I would not call him as over priced player but his price worthy with his stat last season in udinese.
Im not even expect evertong to take udinese's striker as the next signing.

Arsenal team is currently performing very well. But some great players in the team are able to perform exceptionally well. Hope the team does well this season.

Liverpool are contenders for the League title this season. The Reds are putting in a magnificent performance this season; expect to see additional positive statistics from Liverpool. I'm not going to gamble this weekend because we have a lot of challenging EPL games. Liverpool is placed fourth in the league, while Aston Villa is ranked seventh. These middling clubs should provide solid competition this season. Unai Emery will face Jurgen Klopp in an intriguing match. Liverpool will play Aston Villa this weekend, and the Reds are expected to win.

Liverpool's last game against Newcastle where they played with ten men and were still able to win the game in a few minutes will serve as a big mental boost for them that they can win any game even if they are behind. Liverpool will do very well this season as they have already started and when they play the title defenders and other big teams in the league, they will surely make the game very difficult and can even win. Against Aston Villa, I believe Liverpool will still be able to win the game and get all the points. They do not need to relax though because in the premier league, any team can surprise you.

As for me, Liverpool is out of the woods, only that people have not noticed yet. This is why they are one of my top 3 for this season even before the season starts. It will be an easy win when they meet Aston Villa as I don't see the two having so much to contend if Liverpool could be so serious and do not underestimate them. I hope they can have a very good replacement for Van Dijk to avoid the issue in the defence as he is the best in his angle. I blame him for the later reaction after the red card too, this could escalate the issue more than before on the verdict. Nonetheless, if Klopp did his work well, I see Aston Villa vacating the 2nd place on the table soon.

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.

Since Kevin De Bryune's absence, Sheffield United put forth their best effort in that match, and there haven't been many assists for Erling Haaland to score much. However, this is only the beginning of the season, and Manchester City is a strong club, so we can all be confident that they will do their best to avoid losing any games.

First Manchester City, then Liverpool made a comeback. Manchester United made a comeback yesterday. In this case, Arsenal was the loser of the week.

Manchester United made a great comeback, mate. That game was extremely difficult and surprised me, and when Nottingham Forest scored two goals, I couldn't even think about thinking Manchester United might won that game again because so many players were injured and their new striker Hojlund wasn't yet on the squad.
Even though Liverpool scored in the last minutes of the game,Newcastle has now lost against Liverpool in over ten previous matches. Liverpool staged a fantastic comeback, making it extremely difficult for Newcastle to defeated them.

Im not even expect evertong to take udinese's striker as the next signing.

If I compare Beto with Hojlund then I think both have similar qualities because after all, Beto and Hojlund are players who play in Serie A in the last season. But maybe, the only difference is about the last position of their team in Serie A, because of course Atalanta is better than Udinese. Thus, Beto may not be in great demand by big teams because Beto also only plays at Udinese, unlike Hojlund who plays at Atalanta and also Atalanta can finish in fifth place last season.

But regardless of their performance in Serie A then of course, it will be different for the results when they play in the Premier League. But even so, because they are still young, it might not be easy for them to adapt quickly. Because after all, Beto will experience more difficult pressure because Everton are at the bottom of the table in the Premier League standing at this moment. Surely, it will be a difficult job for Beto and also Everton to be able to recover and improve or to stay away from the relegation zone of course.

Some, if not all the Manchester United fans won't agree with me but I have to say it.
When UTD played at home against Wolves, the ref refused to give the away team a penalty when Onana clashed against the Wolves player (to me that's a penalty) but the ref didn't give the penalty to Wolves, as if that wasn't enough they played against Nottingham Forest and Marcus Rashford dived on the penalty spot of the visiting team and after reviewing the ref gave a penalty to Manchester United and I just see it this way that the refs are favoring Manchester United whenever they play at home, I don't know if Old Trafford has this pressure on referees that makes them to favor United, is not really fair...

And I believe the points you have also made is not only happening on Manchester United games as they are also lots of games when the referees decision is always looking as if he is favourable to a singlw Team in that game.

I am not going to take any side. I am just going to say what I think is true. I definitely think that any team playing in home conditions. He's actually going to get the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes the referees even get paid to do so.

We all know how Barcelona was able to win some matters. Where we clearly saw that there was no contact, the referee was giving penalties without even hesitating for a second. But I thought that was going to change after the VAR. And whenever there is a chance for a 50-50 the referee makes a decision as he wishes. And I am not even talking about handball inside the penalty area. The more I see referees judging handballs inside the penalty area, the more I think that there is actually no rule. It is just however the referee wishes.

[KTChampions]

This match will start in the next 5 days but most people have predicted including betting markets that have displayed the odds for each team, just like your prediction the bookies also favor Arsenal 1.80 if we bet on Arsenal and 4.1 for Manchester United the difference in odds is obvious here but still market predictions do not guarantee they are always right, we still remember the match a few days ago when Newcastle were the favorites to beat Liverpool but what happened was the opposite.

A separate outcome does not say anything about the correctness of the quotes, because even if Newcastle won, there would be an obvious discrepancy with the quotes of the bookmakers: we would have 100% of Newcastle's wins, while the bookmakers predicted only 40%  
As for the upcoming game, I think that Arsenal is even a little underestimated - they started modestly, but United are just terrible.

[sana54210]

even if Ten Hag has the right to determine player transfers, I hope that there will not be excessive ambition to the point where you choose the wrong player to recruit, which is a waste of money without satisfying results, like what happened to the Arsenal team. I know MU current situation is not good but that does not mean Ten Hag has to make transfers again but enough with players who are already at MU and after that emphasize players with the best strategy and if its still not good I think Ten Hag must really think hard to give a good result for Man United. but for now its just a bad start to the season, we do not need to worry too much because in the last season MU almost failed but slowly improved their performance so its only about time for Ten Hag to improve the performance of the Man United team.

Unfortunately that does exists in the world of football. If you hire a manager then you need to build a team that fits that manager, that's what City did, and been doing for many years and Pep gets any player he wants, they just tell him what they can afford and what they can't afford. I think United was never like that and I think it is quite important that we are going to end up seeing it change in the end, it is going to be something bigger than that.

I think it's quite important that we are going to end up with United not making transfers based on what ETH wants, but more like what they want, like how they would look towards the fans and they are going to waste some money like that all year long if you ask me.

Hmm, Liverpool are no doubt in a good shape but Aston villa isn't a team you can just easily win and you can ask jorgen klopp he can attestify. Aston villa are like a torn in most of the big team flesh and if you are careful enough they can hit you anytime with a suprise victory and I believe their with Liverpool isn't going to be an easy game like the way you sound to be and moreover their defence like you statement now has a defect courtesy to van dijk absence.

[savetheFORUM]

Manchester City are the only team in the Premier League currently getting perfect results with three consecutive wins, and with these results certainly make Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings at this moment. Unfortunately, Arsenal failed to win in yesterday match against Fulham. Although Fulham played with only 10 players but in the end, Fulhan was able to make an equalizer in the match. Thus, at least it is a result that is quite disappointing. Because basically Arsenal were very close to getting three points in the match, but Joao Palhinha managed to make a goal in the 87th minute which made Arsenal only get 1 point at home.

There is no doubt Manchester City is doing good job, but we have checked one more thing with from these three games two opponents were weakest in Premier League and just Newcastle United was better team and now in fourth round again they are going to face Fulham which is also not strong enough with these matches we can't judge their performance for the big games which are coming in next few weeks even mostly other teams are struggling badly, but they are still much better than others.

Even they are missing their most valuable player and coach, but they are handling this all positively which is the best part from this team and it's chemistry now we will have better things after this break as players will be started on different way after having four rounds in this early part of this season.

Liverpool have decline in their performance last season, they're still in the recovery process presently. I don't normally jeopardize the probability of Liverpool in Anfield, They Never Walk Alone. We should not underestimate average club this season, they possess a high spirit when it comes to league games specifically against elite clubs. Liverpool facing Aston Villa this weekend, a challenging game for the Reds, but I'm confident that they will record a triumph results in the game. Aston Villa headcoach, Unai Emery looks forward to play a defensive game against the hosts.
