Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Fara Chan]

Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal coach, has faced challenges in managing his players, particularly in finding the right role for Kai Havertz. The team has struggled partly due to recent signings who haven't fully adapted to the team's style, with the exception of Declan Rice, who has performed well and even scored a goal against Manchester United. Additionally, Arsenal is competing in the Champions League after many years, so they need to be cautious in their attacking approach to prevent injuries.

Many criticism for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after giving opportunity and chance for new signing Kai Havertz still underperformance but always get regular position. Actually, Kai Havertz still need time for adapting with Arsenal scheme and I think his performance not really bad although Declan Rice ever unhappy with his performance last last four matches in Premier League. Difference with Declan Rice, he has quit well performance with Arsenal and last match success contributed one goal against Manchester United.

After International break out, I think Kai Havertz has opportunity to prove his quality actually with Arsenal have many important matches against Everton and will play in Champion League face PSV

I have seen Arsenal's game until the fourth week and I also think that their game is not completely satisfactory. Apart from that, if Arteta again entrusts Havertz to be in the starting eleven then there will be no significant changes in the game scheme implemented. Havertz should have been benched for a while because he still needs time to adapt. Meanwhile, Declan Rice is really able to make a contribution and prove that he is worthy of the high price tag.

Things are going on good for Arsenal at the beginning of the season. That point loss against Fulham despite Fulham's playing 10 players was really unexpected but they made up for that by a solid win against Manchester United. They can still improve their game more though because the win against the Red Devils wasn't easy actually.

Next time they have a game against Everton away which they should be winning definitely. Everton are still in the same situation. They are struggling a lot again and I don't think they can do well against Arsenal too. It is up to Arsenal to play dominant and get a comfortable win. I think they will do this.

Tottenham, Liverpool, West Ham and Arsenal have recorded the same number of points so far, but when Arsenal were able to beat Man United dramatically, the Gunners were worthy of being a strong challenger to Man City at the top of the standings. Man United doesn't look promising, previously Ten Hag squad was also beaten by Tottenham 2-0 in the second week.

On the other hand, Arsenal meeting with Everton will take place after the international break, on paper Arteta squad is very superior. Even though they will be playing away, I think they will be able to secure full points.

I guess with the palyer Arteta bought in this summer he is under pressure to have a better performance than last season and with games. Especially when we are talking about the game between Arsenal and Everton, because Arsenal won three times while Everton won two times in their past five meets they had before. Regardless of that, Everton is not a strong team to make trouble for a team like Arsenal. the 1.54 rate is enough for this game.

Brentford is one of the teams that has not lost at all so far and to be more precise, they have 1 win and 3 draws. In my opinion, this is a pretty good result and a draw can still result in at least 1 additional point in each match. Even Spurs, who have been very consistent this season, also struggled against Brentford at the start of the EPL match. In terms of players, Bryan Mbeumo is a player to be reckoned with because he has scored 4 goals so far for Brentford and his name is also on par with Erling Haaland and Evan Ferguson on the top scorer.

Yes, Brentford has always been known for their strong defense since their arrival in the Premier League from the Championship, and I can see that they have been able to maintain that. Brentford have been a big challenge to big teams in the Premier League because of their strong defensive line and long counterattacking strategy. It is always hard for big teams to defeat Brentford, and if any team manages to defeat Brentford, it will never be with margin goals. In short, since Brentford were promoted to the Premier League in 2021, Brentford have been able to set records as the top of big teams in the Premier League competition by defeating almost all the big teams in the competition, in fact, they defeated Manchester City home and away last season. And I am also expecting much from them this season again.

Although Brentford has always been known as a great team in the English Premier League competition since they got promoted, they haven’t slacked once. They always surprise people by winning big teams in competition anytime, but I think the reason why people are not seeing this as well as other teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, and others is because of their inconsistency. They are still low on the table. And when I’m pointing out teams that always concur as big teams in the competition, only three teams come to mind: Brentford, Fulham, and Newcastle. These teams always surprise people in most of their games by scoring against the top teams in the league. I know some people may wonder why I included Newcastle there due to their performance this season, but I can see they are quite strong.

Arsenal doing absolutely good this new season, it's just a matter of time before things finally sets good for the club. Gunners have improved quite alot in league games, facing elite clubs and thrashing them without any struggles, just checking out what Gunners did to the Red Devils at Emirate stadium. However Arsenal gave some weaknesses the coach have to deal with presently. It involves the new players, some finding it to be really difficult and speedy to adapt to the team's pattern of game. Kai Havertz is relenting and recording zero contributions to Gunners performance. Mikel Arteta have the basic options he needs to explore his team this season.

Currently, Kai Havertz is still not very prominent in his role at Arsenal and as a former Chelsea player, now should be the right time for him to show his abilities with his new club. It can be said that Declan Rice can quite understand what Mikel Arteta wants and I think he will continue to develop in the future. Maybe Mikel Arteta should provide the right tactics for Kai Havertz considering that the Champions League and Premier League will be held very frequently starting in the middle of this month.

Regardless of how you judge Kai Havertz's performance at Arsenal, I think he has been quite good in his 4 appearances. Havertz is a good midfielder even though he has not scored a single goal in his 4 appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League, but I believe he has a positive contribution to Arteta's game plan.

Even though Declan Rice scored 1 goal for Arsenal when they beat Manchester United, I wouldn't say Havertz has performed badly so far. Both midfielders are quite good based on their performance and seem to have adapted well to their current team. Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice are good midfielders for Arsenal, I think that is Arsenal's advantage for this season.

What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

Maybe it's just a settling-in problem but so far it's really hurting seeying him

[baeva]

@shinratensei_ Anthony rarely makes a difference on the pitch and match and after match he’s failed to convince Manchester United fan’s that he should be in the starting lineup hence his absence wont make much of a difference and for now there’s no indication from Manchester United that they’ll bench him. Furthermore Sancho has crossed a line from which there’s no coming back because even if Ten Hag allows him back he’ll make sure that he’s sold as soon as the January transfer window opens.

Erik Ten Hag need to accumulate permission to view numerous heinous incidents happening on at Old Trafford. Everything are going to get blown out of proportion, but we should focus on what is good and spread positive energy. The Red Devils confront challenges on two frontlines, with Anthony suffering furious assaults from his ex-partner who wants to cinch him down. On the other side, Erik Ten Hag has made comments about Jadon Sancho not meeting his minimum benchmarks to be included in his starting lineups for league matches. The whole concept seems to be getting out of hand, but I'm hoping Manchester United can sort it out before it blows up in their faces.

Either the coach will eventually change in the team, and it will no longer be his concern. The club management will not sort out who exactly messed up, the coach is responsible for the result in most cases, and discord in the team does not lead to anything good, so if things do not settle down, the outcome is obvious

The problem of Manchester United is wholistic and not a goalkeeper fault. The Manchester United teamis not stabilised even right from preseason time. Last season that Manchester United ended 3rd in the English Premier League table, we saw that they had good preseason and after the first two matches that they performed poorly other matches were excellent. This cannot be said of Manchester United of today where by no part of the team is OK. The defence is having deficiencies because of injuries, same with the midfield and attack. The team has to step of fully for the new season.

[KTChampions]

At the moment, TH has a conflict with Sancho and, as I understand it, the majority supports TH in this conflict (Sancho is supposedly doing a bad job in training). But I see a certain pattern in TX’s behavior (by the way, he had conflicts with players back in Ajax) and I’m sure that this will not lead to anything good. Being a coach of a top club (United is vying for this role) means not being a dictator, but being able to find an individual approach to each player. TH obviously uses a different role model, “I’m the boss and you’re all fools,” but while he had success, they forgave him for this, soon it seems to me that we will see something different.

It seems Sancho is not going to have good days in Manchester United after this behavior he had in the team and the problem he had with Ten Hag.
We know Ten Hag is not a coach to let a palyer have behavior like this and he will surely make this player say sorry for what he said.
On the other hand, some palyer in Manchester United don't have a good relationship with Sancho, and they start defending their coach, that's why even in Manchester United's locker room some players are not friendly with Sancho anymore.  

In any collective (and a football club is still a large collective) there is always relationship difficulties + in each club the players compete with each other. A normal coach will smooth out these difficulties, a not-so-normal coach will play boss and naturally, in a conflict with some player, will pull other players to his side so as not to be in the minority and not lose the locker room. I cannot call such bickering a normal atmosphere. We are not inside the team and don’t know the specifics, but I know for sure that when good results give way to not so good ones, TH will have a lot of enemies.

In general this is not a good start to the season for Manchester United, but I hope Ten Hag can plan something good for his team this season. There are many obstacles that need to be resolved and this is a demanding job for him. Considering that this is the start of the season, of course there are many opportunities that Ten Hag can still take advantage of, even though it won't be easy.

I'm not sure what would happen if Ten Hag were to fail to make it to the top four this season for Manchester United, but it would certainly put him under a lot of pressure. The Champions League results will likely put him under a lot of pressure if Manchester United lose and fail, but I still have confidence in his tactical abilities.

Based on his performance last season, Onana is a very good goalkeeper; he managed to reach the Champions League final but was not fortunate enough to win the title as they lost to Manchester City in the final; he is also a good keeper who helps his team ease pressure and play their opponents from behind because he is very good with the ball in his legs.

However, Manchester United's form had an impact on his performance because defenders contribute to goalie performance; if the defenders are unable to withstand pressure from the opposing attack, the goalkeeper cannot do much. Perhaps it is this that is impacting his performance, rather than the fact that he is a poor goalkeeper.

The ownership problem is also a big challenge. The fans want a change of ownership but the Glazers are overestimating the club which has made the negotiation for the sale of the club collapse. Anthony's issue is a big problem because the summer transfer window has closed which means that he cannot be replaced by a new signee. If the Brazilian is found guilty of domestic violence, United might end up losing another important player to misconduct after the departure of Greenwood. I think clubs need to take the off the pitch behavior of their players seriously because it can harm the club. Maybe players should be exposed to legal, psychological, and relationship education.

Manchester United generally has a poor team. I know that the club expected much from Onana but if you take a close look at some of the goals he conceded it will be evident that the club has a very weak defense. When a club has a good team, even an average goalkeeper will excel. I don't expect the Cameroonian International to perform miracles. The club needs to fix so many things to make them competitive this season. Onana is a good keeper and is still adapting to the English league and he is still young which means he is a long-time goalkeeper.

[Leviathan.007]

Looking forward to see Amrabat competing in that midfied, the midfied too soft against Arsenal, it needed energy and names like Bruno and Eriksen were absent in that game they did not have a good game and could not beat Arsenal midfielders.
Brighton are one of the sides when building from the backline to the front, with few players absent and Injured for Brighton Man United may have a good chance to win but that defense is too weak. Imagine Harry Maguire saying he wants to fight for his place when Man United should have sent him out on loan or complete sell out. He has never being a good player.

Amrabat is a good addition and will bring a force to the team
He has a great mentality. United needs this at the moment.
And Amrabat worked with Ten Hag when he was still the coach of FC Utrecht.

Maguire is the last choice on United's list of defenders. However, he will get a place to play because of the many injured players.

 
I think people still comparing all the coaches working on Manchester United with Alex Ferguson, the old and legendary coach of Macnsher United.
Teddy Sheringham said if Ferguson was working on Manchester United instead of Ten Hag there could be a better situation and we would not see the drama with Sancho.
Also, Ben Foster said if  Ferguson was still coaching Mancshter Unteid a palyer like Sancho would never be on the team after that behavior.

Manchester United team is performing very well. Last season there were some great problems within the team. However, at the beginning of this season, the team has prepared itself brilliantly.

How is Manchester United performing this season? I haven’t seen anything special about Manchester United's performance this season. To me, Manchester United's performance is really poor. Before the season started, I was expecting Manchester United to be better, but I am just surprised that Manchester United are playing so poorly. Ten Hag has a lot to work on, and currently I don’t see Manchester United contesting for the league title this season unless there is improvement in their performance. Manchester United have just been able to win two matches out of four played, and we all saw how they conceded late goals in their last match against Arsenal.

and in week 5 Manchester United will host Brighton, and this will be a tough job for Erik Ten Hag because Brighton is not an easy opponent considering their game is quite good, especially in counter attacks and they are also in 6th position in the standings.

When the international break is over, Manchester United will be playing against Brighton, which I am sure will be a very difficult match for Manchester United. Brighton's performance this season is really nice, out of four matches played, Brighton won three and lost one, which is not really bad. Seriously, the match won’t be an easy one for Manchester United. I don’t think Manchester United will be able to win the match, and I won’t be surprised if the match ends in a draw because I know Manchester United will also do everything possible not to lose the match.

People exaggerate Ten Hag pe digree and it is somewhat ridiculous and weird; Ten Hag is doing a good job yes, also ten hag is making terrible decisions by setting up media attack for footballers; First was with Ronaldo after he lost his baby; then a media attack round to chase of De Gea; Same was done to Harry Maguire; and now Ten hag has set up Jadon Sancho to the press for a new media attack; thats awful for a manager that keeps on playing underperforming Antony on the flanks.

The coach needs to fix up

He is a good coach but i think he still needs time to get use to the league. People are expecting big results from him because he is in a big club and they are right. He needs to keep his head cool and make some results and start winning titles for Man Utd soon

The coach needs to fix up

He's a very good coach and has proven it in his debut season with the club by finishing third last season and leading them into the Champions league and winning the Caraboa club lets not also forget that he also participated in the Fa Cup final last season so I don't know what some Manchester United fans would need him to do to prove himself, if only the board could back him well with funds then  they'll see him competing very well in major trophies, my only proven with Ten Hag is that sometimes he's so miscalculation with his choices and it cost him some matches.
 It's not his fault that all this situations ongoing in the club have been occurring and I'll blame everything that's been ongoing to the Glaziers, as for Sancho several coaches before Ten Hag had complained about his form,and the coach really tried in helping him recover from the mental issue he had and even tried to restore his form but Sancho is slow in picking up even after being tried in several areas of the team.

The club needs to fix so many things to make them competitive this season. Onana is a good keeper and is still adapting to the English league and he is still young which means he is a long-time goalkeeper.

Yes, actually Onana is still the best goalkeeper at Manchester United but the bad match last time was not entirely Onana fault but we can see how bad Manchester United's defense is which can always be broken through by their opponents so Onana as a goalkeeper has tried his best to maximize his performance but however, if the goalkeeper is very good but the defense is very bad the goalkeeper can't do anything except just accept inappropriate criticism from some media who ridiculously blame Onana.

From another perspective, all of this could be Erik Ten Hag's fault as a coach who does not have precision in defense which is currently a bad problem for Manchester United and some of the media or fans of this club have given very bad criticism to coach Ten Hag.
But from me personally, Erik Ten Hag has actually tried to provide the best strategy for his club, but currently Erik failure is not being able to bring in high quality players from the transfer market so there is a shortage of reliable players in Manchester United defense.

[Zaguru12]

I'm not sure what would happen if Ten Hag were to fail to make it to the top four this season for Manchester United, but it would certainly put him under a lot of pressure. The Champions League results will likely put him under a lot of pressure if Manchester United lose and fail, but I still have confidence in his tactical abilities.

One thing that is sure to happen to him is that lots of pressure will definitely mount on him. Last season he managed to get the clubs first silverware after 3-4 season and then help guide the club back to the biggest European competition and this was what earned him the fans support. This season he is yet to get off to a great start but one thing is the season is still young and there many games to go but should things proceed to get ugly as it goes then I think United fans will asking for the departure of the manager.

If you ask me I would say unite can actually bounce back this season to go along away. The first thing to do will be to start getting points away from home especially against the top clubs. This has been a continuous problem since the arrival of Ten Hag to the theatre of dreams. He is currently on a very good run at home but the away record is just too poor and should it be adjusted to like that of the home record then it will be a big threat towards the other teams but should it remain like this then I doubt they will genuinely challenge for the league

Jadon Sancho trending because Erik Ten Hag made few statements concerning his incompetence action in league games, that's solely the beginning of the englishman frustration, Sancho didn't hang up there, rather he restated the fact that he tried his best to suit in the starting XI of Erik Ten Hag but it seems impossible for him, assuming th system is not favorable for him. Erik Ten Hag making crucial mistakes in Old Trafford which will definitely bounce back to the managerial functions in the club. We know how strictly discipline the coach is and he has no rooms for relenting efforts, always keeping his eyes on the brighter sides.
