Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[JoyMarsha]

Chelsea has a good defense, good midfield and attacking players but are lacking creativity that is why I don’t approve of their big spendings because they are not technically strengthening their weak positions but just signings players and hoping that would solve their problems. They have spend this much in two windows and still cannot comfortably win games or even compete at a convincing level. Pochettino has a lot to do, he’s been given the players he want, it is now his turn to win trophies.

Chelsea winning trophies will not come as soon as many have expected. Pochettino is building Chelsea from scratch with new players. Much shouldn't be expected from him. It will take years before we can see Chelsea comfortably lift a trophy. The least we can expect them to do at this season and the upcoming season is to fall between the top position of 3rd to 7th position of the premier league table.

Arsenal are tough and fierce when it comes to games on Emirates ground. Mikel Arteta is acquainted with his players and knows exactly the appropriate techniques to triggered against his opponents. Manchester United were victims of fatigue in the game, Erik Ten Hag made big mistakes this summer by not signing Alejandro Martinez replacement, he had the available funds to sign rather he was reluctant. The Red Devils were devoured by Gunners in injury time, ofcourse no one was expecting that, because we have all concluded the game to be a  North London Derby draw tie.

Firstly the match wasn’t a north London derby. The north London derby is the game between Arsenal and Tottenham, Manchester United is a club in Manchester and plays their derby only against Manchester City. This game could be termed a Rival match because of the great rivalry or history both teams have shared in the past.

Secondly I would agree without you that Manchester United made a costly mistake this transfer window for not signing a new Center Back. But that is not a Ten Hag’s problem, because the united hierarchy were scared of FFP and only wanted to sign a new Center half only if they get to sell or loan Harry Maguire away but the Englishman didn’t want to leave and that is why they didn’t sign any CB. They rather went on to get former academy graduate Jonny Evans to sign a season contract after being released by Leicester City this summer.

The mistake made by Ten Hag in that game was substituting out Victor Lindelof who was actually having a great game along side Martinez. Evans came on and looked shaky at the back and that caused United the second goal scored by Rice.

Yep. Amrabat is a good player, and It was a good signing. Looking forward to him improving United's midfield
Now we wait till Brighton game to see him.

Many players were victim of rape, violence and other accusations that ruined their career before it ends up being totally false.. Benjamin Mendy is the latest victim that was acquitted.

And Drama still goes on...
Manchester United are under pressure to drop Antony after Brazil withdrew the footballer from their squad following serious allegations of physical assault.

Antony announced he didn't do anything and until a prove is given or a provisory detention was done, I find it abusive to reject a player that way.. There is political candidates with serious allegations that are running for top positions and not being kicked from the races. Are football players more important than those? So random

Yep, it is not the right time to expect Chelsea competing for the trophy. I'm sure people only expect Chelsea to return to the top 5 of EPL standings. But, it looks like quite difficult for Chelsea because their squad isn't ready to compete with other teams which have more established squad. It is true that Chelsea has many new players, they need time to adapt with many things. We actually must understand if they are still difficult to give good performance, the new players won't suddenly play with their best only in few matches. However, TBH I'm also a bit surprising that Chelsea could be defeated by West Ham and Nottm Forest. Even if Chelsea dominated by many new players, their squad is much better than those teams.

You guys seems to forget something, Manchester United have good players including Amrabat even if he's with an injury but that's not the case, a player can be of good quality but when introduced as a Man UTD player things begin to go South. Something seems to be the problem at Manchester United not by buying good players, no matter how good the player is when he starts playing for United you'd see the bad side of the player. It is either they sell the club or they need to check themselves out to find the problem. Getting more players won't solve the problem.

And Drama still goes on...
Manchester United are under pressure to drop Antony after Brazil withdrew the footballer from their squad following serious allegations of physical assault.

Let's forget about Antony being dropped by the Brazil football federation or the Brazil national team.
Antony has never been a good player right from when he came to Old Trafford, to me he's a joker. He hasn't done something that even the UTD fans would applaud him, I wonder why the coach still start him ahead of Garnacho in some games if not all.
That guy is not qualified to wear United jersey, if it were a player from Arsenal or Chelsea that have such poor qualitied, UTD legends would have started blasting the club but I haven't seen or heard any of them saying anything concerning Antony, that guy is a flop.

[Alpha Marine]

If Newcastle were able to finish in the top 4 last season then why do you think Chelsea can't do it after spending so much money building up their squad? I think you all just need to be patient (if you are a Chelsea fan), but otherwise have fun if you are not one.

Newcastle didn't play this way. Newcastle had only four loses the whole of last season, Chelsea already has 2 out of 4. It's going to be a very long seasons for Chelsea I'm afraid.
The players they bought are a bunch of average and overpriced players except few of them.
Chelsea really did poor business in signing players. Look at their squad after spending over a billion pounds. That's embarrassing. They would better brace up because these business is going to affect them for a long time.
You don't buy so many potential players and throw them all into a starting 11 and expect them to do well.
Chelsea should be able to have signed at least 5 world class players with that kind of money.

Aside the very poor signings of Chelsea, they don't have the right man for the job in Pochettino. He's not a bad manager but I don't think he's a man to head a big team that want trophies like Chelsea.

There was a luck factor for Arsenal in their late victory against Manchester United. Arsenal didn't have many good chances to score although at the end of 3 out of 5 attempts their goal was enough to get them a full 3 points at home. Of course it's great, but I don't think I can beat Manchester City and Liverpool in the same way.

I didn't expect what happened to Manchester United in the extra time. Anyone who sees the result of the match will believe that Arsenal demolished Manchester United totally not knowing that the extra 2 goals came from 90 + 5. Manchester United lost the energy they started with during the ending of the match. I do not understand when you say fatigue because they had test time before another match. Infact, Champions league matches have not started and why are they facing fatigue. So what will happen when the Champions League matches start. Manchester United needs to sign good players to sustain the standard of the club.

Well some managers can pull it off but it is not an easy task to accomplish. There have been a lot of changes done to the team and it’s just as you said, pochettino is building chelsea all over again so we shouldn’t expect much from him this season, he has added a lot of players so if he can work on the team style of play and the formation to adopt this season I think he should be able to fight for a spot in the top 4 because the players have individual qualities. By next season the team should have been ready to challenge for the title and not just fight for a spot in the top 4.

Pochettino looks like he will fail to build a new era for Chelsea, he only marked its revival with transfer market movements, not with match results. If we wait longer, I'm not sure Pochettino will last more than two seasons at Chelsea. It could be that if the Blues suffer another defeat in the EPL, then he will leave sooner before seeing the players he recruits develop well.

I think if Chelsea loses to a club like Liverpool or Man City it still makes sense, because they are fellow big clubs. However, losing to Nottingham Forest clearly disappointed all fans, I think.

Manchester United and Arsenal should have ended in a draw but in reality Manchester United's defense in the final minutes had begun to weaken so that Arsenal took good advantage of it and finally made Arsenal win with a score of 3-1, Mancehster United should not have been like this, they were seen underestimating Arsenal so in the last minute they conceded and greatly disappointed their fans and from that defeat Manchester United dropped out of the top ten positions.

Of course it's great, but I don't think I can beat Manchester City and Liverpool in the same way.

Before talking about luck, I would check the statistics first:

Shots - 17:10
Shots on target - 5:2
Corners - 12:3
Ball possession - 55% : 45%

I see that Arsenal dominated literally everything and I'm not surprised that this was reflected in the score. As for other opponents, there will be a different situation, and so far no one knows who will be stronger. If I were the manager of United, I would at least take care to confidently beat outsiders and average teams, this team is hardly capable of more.

Well, we really can't expect any increase in performance from the Chelsea club in the near future. But still, with the existing squad they should be able to play better. Although overall Chelsea played well. But their line of attack is really blunt. I think Pochettino lacks a striker hungry for goals. So I feel that the strikers that Chelsea had last season were much better. But then again it's still early in the season. It is possible that starting next week Chelsea will suddenly show good performance like in the pre-season. Well they have been very good in pre-season.

The manchester united defenders have been even weaker since meguore and evans were in. Ten hag has been making some blunders with his decision to give meguire a chance to play in. I didn't even know what thing already planned by him but this is a terrible decision that has ever taken by him. The chance to be drawn is very high but the second goal was coming as the fault of evans and meguire. Evan was unable in blocking rice's shoot while meguire was not even guarding him once he got the ball.
Meguire must never be putted in. He was just a burden for the club. I don't even know how long he will still play for manchester united. MU was always losing once he played in the club. There must be a petition for ten hag to not use him again.
It's for the future of team. Manchester united really needs to get full points at this moment. The impact of the critical situation has been felt at manchester united as well as newcastle.

Many people said that Manchester United defence was weak in the ending time but what I observed was that Manchester United players were all attacking minded immediately the score was 2:1 in favour of Arsenal. They just wanted to equalize immediately and Arsenal capitaled on their attacking mind and scores 1 more goal to make their total number of goals 3.
Arsenal is strong this season, just as strong as they were last season. And also this season, their squad depth has increased which is what makes them candidates for trophies this season.

If I were the manager of United, I would at least take care to confidently beat outsiders and average teams, this team is hardly capable of more.

Arsenal dominated the first half, while Manchester United struggled to perform well initially and if we think it for a moment that the controversial offside call by VAR that disallowed a potential 2-2 equalizer for Manchester United was not made, I do not think that Arsenal would have still been able to win the match.  And one thing is sure the result proves how competitive the Premier League is but there is still a noticeable gap between Manchester City and other teams in the league.

Regarding this game, we saw the name of Jadon Sancho was out of the list for this game against Arsenal while a palyer like Jadon Sancho expects to see his name even on the first squad for the game. When they asked Ten Hag about this palyer he said Jadon Sancho didn't show good performance in the training.
While after that Jadon Sancho said I had a good performance in this week during the team training.
Obviously, this can put Jadon Sancho out of the game for his behavior.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Arsenal are becoming more dangerous from what have seen and I must recommend them for adding much force in there last game against Manchester United.
The visitors (Man UTD) are not in a good form (some of the fans would disagree) but that's not even the case, Arteta was ready for that game and I was expecting a draw and some sluggish play from the Arsenal team but the whole team took it to heart that "this game is a must win" and if you check the United team, they all ran out of ideas even the coach Erik ten Hag, he couldn't believe what happened and this is just the beginning. To be sincere with you, the Red devils have lost it.
I feel this has to do with second season syndrome, it has caught up with him (Erik ten Hag) and he won't get to where he was at the table last season.

I don't think they're tired. They are a group without solid connections. Coach Erik ten Hag could not bring them together, or he made a mistake in selecting these players. This season, he brought in a lot of recruits, and I still need to see the value of each one. Is he ruining the once mighty Manchester United? Let's wait and see if Manchester United can successfully transform itself with these young rookies.
As for Arsenal, they showed form from start to finish and didn't need to be lucky in this match. That is the result of their steely spirit.

Manchester United has been using Harry Maguire for years and now after this player left Manchester United (He hasn't left yet...) they need to get in shape and fill his place However this player had many personal mistakes in Manchester United, But Harry Maguire was playing for this team for years and this can take some time for other players to take his place.
Manchester United could even hire other younger defenders this summer to have more options.

Chelsea never played well. Its defenders were always often making blunders while at the same time its attackers were unable to scoring the goal. That's why EA was rated whole of chelsea players so badly. Even mudryk never made even a single goal since he was coming to the club. I don't even know why this team looks like the stupidest club in EPL. Nottingham forest is far better than chelsea. I must admit if this thing was true.
Look at how chelsea defeated by nottingham forest at stamford bridge which was surprising anyone. Many fans were feeling satisfied with the current performance of chelsea. Pochettino's tactic just remind me with potter.

Many complaints were coming to the club. I feel that if nothing change happened to the club. Chelsea played even badly than last season.
The club could still get perfect results last season in winning some early matches in a row while this time it's only able winning a match against weaker team like luton.
