Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Stable090]

In the end, everyone will probably doubt West Ham if Manchester City's squad depth is the benchmark. West Ham have had good form so far, but Manchester City are a different team compared to their previous 4 opponents. I don't see Manchester City falling into trouble even without De Bruyne, but they are still a very strong team with the current squad.

Since the beginning of the season, West Ham haven’t lost any match, they won three of their matches and drew one of their matches. West Ham's next match will be against Manchester City, which I am sure won’t be an easy win for the two clubs. The match will be tough and interesting, but I know Manchester City will win the match. I know West Ham are in form, but we can’t compare Manchester City's strength with West Ham, all the clubs that West Ham played against and won can’t be compared with Manchester City. Even with the absence of De Bruyne, Manchester City's performances are still good.
 
Not that I am underestimating West Ham, I know they are in form and they are kind of dangerous this season, but even with that, I am sure Manchester City is still going to win. I don’t think a club like West Ham will be able to stop Manchester City from going away with three points.

"Innocent until proven guilty", remember the case of Mendy of Manchester City, he was accused of multiple cases of rape by more than one woman, but in the end of it all he was not guilty, but he had already lost 2 years of his career.

I think these footballers should also be protected, too many of these accusations turn out to be false and nobody talks about the extent of the damage done to the player. I am not justifying people who abuse the opposite sex, and i believe if anyone is found guilty of that they should be vigorously dealt with, but what's going to happen and who's going to pay for damages if the accusation is false.

Accusations like these, when finally proven to be false would have had devastating effects on the professional career as well as the personal life of the player.
More often in these cases,  we’re too quick to judge and condemn the player when faced with accusations like rape. Understandably, rape cases is widely frowned on and definitely shouldn’t be condoned but it would be nice if we could hold on to our perhaps, feigned wrath until the charges are proved.

Obviously, no one wants to associate or seem to be defending or covering up for someone accused of rape. That’s why clubs are sometimes too quick to do away with a player whenever the player is accused.

I think that game is not going to be as easy as you think for Manchester city,I think they are just going to get their first draw in that encounter,because after I've taken a critical look at the way WestHam are playing this season,there is a strong optimism that they aren't going to loose this game against City,but rather get a draw,while Manchester city will really struggle hard to win it but it won't be possible.They are currently toping the table,haven won all their games this season,but will definitely drop points here against West Ham who are very despirate to continue their impressive form this season.

West Ham vs Manchester City

West Ham have really been on an impressive rise at the start of this season. They were unbeaten in the first 4 matches where they only lost 2 points due to a draw against Bournemouth. David Moyes is responsible for the positive results obtained by West Ham in the last 4 matches, but this weekend he has to accept a tough challenge from defending champions Manchester City.

Manchester City has proven its quality as a team that is truly capable of maintaining consistent performance. They have not dropped a single point in the last 4 matches so people will be fully confident they can beat West Ham in their next away match. I hope the match will be difficult and not many goals will be scored throughout the match, but it all really depends on the team's overall performance.

West Ham indeed starting this league with impressive performance and i am quite surprised with them especially after they lost Declan Rice that i thought West Ham will be hard struggling to performing well without him but Moyes has been found the replacement of Declan Rice that their new player which is transfered from Ajax Edson Álvarez and i have been noticed in the last 3 matches he can adapt quickly with West Ham and Álvarez also can bringing significant progress to West Ham performance
But Manchester City is the strongest team in Premier League now and it's very hard to beat them even i have to says they are too consistent if we compared with other teams in this competition so in my opinion although West Ham has been successfully to showing impressive performance lately but i think Manchester City will being an the winner of this match

Well, if you ask me who's the favourite to win this match, my honest answer would be Manchester City because they're the title holders and also the strongest team in the EPL so far even got a better squad with more experienced players than most EPL teams, but winning against Westham won't come easy because they're surprisingly in a very good form this season, and even beat Brighton who're a nightmare to some big clubs in the league.
 I have a doubt if City word lose or draw the match I think they'll win but it's not going come very easily because they'll definitely struggle to score a goal but they're not going to lose the match against Westham regardless of Westham's form, though Westham have one advantage that could make a draw possible which is playing at home in front of their supporters, but City's got a good result away.

West Ham have had a much better start compared to some of the so-called bigger clubs and they've made some excellent new signings. Overall, their performance has been quite positive, so let's stay optimistic. However, there are still tough challenges ahead, like facing Manchester City. Manchester City is a well-established team with a quality squad. None can deny their strength, whether playing at home or away. Manchester City's consistency and ability to win  because they have skilled players.

Westham are no match for Manchester City at all. In accordance to the statistical data, Manchester City has an upper hand in previous games, which indicates the probability of winning is substantial. Pep Guardiola's odds of been present against David Moyes in the game are 80% after undergoing back surgery for severe challenges. West Ham United vs. Manchester City is a difficult game to forecast; perhaps I should give the citizens credit because I expect them to play well in London Stadium when they meet the Hammers this weekend.

West Ham have had good form so far, but Manchester City are a different team compared to their previous 4 opponents. I don't see Manchester City falling into trouble even without De Bruyne, but they are still a very strong team with the current squad.

Manchester City's victory is clearly not guaranteed at London Stadium, but I believe Manchester City is the team that will win 3 points there. Haaland is still unstoppable, so I will pay attention to him in that match.

There is a possibility that the match will end in a draw because West Ham have a good defense and they are also one of the teams that have conceded fewer goals so far. Another reason is that they also played quite well against Brighton and Chelsea, in fact Brighton is one of the teams that is able to surprise clubs that are much better than them, such as when they beat Newcastle. However West Ham was actually able to beat Brighton and because of this strength, in my opinion, West Ham cannot be considered weak, Manchester City also lost several players due to injury, which could affect the intensity of their attack.

Pep Guardiola should be wary of the strength of Moyes' men because so far their confidence is very good. Moreover, the match will be held at West Ham's home ground and Moyes automatically does not want the positive results obtained in the previous match to be ruined by Pep Guardiola's troops. If you want to bet, maybe many people will choose a win for Manchester City, but choosing a draw is also good in my opinion.

Based on what the two teams has showcased early this season show that it will going to be a tough match, but Manchester city will definitely achieve victory at the end of the match because they will not allow West Ham to be the first team to defeat them in this season. West Ham have done well in their last matches for the quality display their players displayed to defeated some strong teams and draw with some team that made many people to believed that West Ham will be among the teams that can challenge Manchester city in this season, because they have some potential squads that can make things happen in this match but it will be difficult for Manchester city defenders to allow West Ham strikers to gain access to their goalpost.

of course the bookies will favor Man City in fact, we will all definitely place bets on this match because we all know that Westham has not been a tough challenger for Man City for a long time and even though Westham is superior as the host, Guardiola will not let Westham win this match and I confident that The Citizens will be able to take home victory. and although this season Westham looks a little stronger unbeaten from 4 matches, it is all because Westham opponent is not a strong team and the upcoming match will prove whether Westham is able to beat Man City.

you have to be a little careful when betting on this match because according to my analysis both teams will score and there is a chance of a draw. If you have other options, its better to choose Man City to win or both teams to score. narrow win for The Citizens.

These two teams are both unbeaten so far and even though Manchester City are favored to win, I think this time West Ham will still provide strong resistance. David Moyes has to come up with a good strategy against the reigning EPL champions and it's likely that this will be a match that drains a lot of energy because both teams certainly don't want to give up on each other.

I think West Ham doesn't need to insist on beating Manchester City and just being able to hold Pep Guardiola's squad to a draw is already a pretty good result compared to losing at home. Apart from that, I'm still quite curious about how James Bowen and James Ward-Prowse will perform, who so far are two quite dangerous players from West Ham.

According to the stats owned by either of players and what you have said was true but if we are seeing it from the current stats and westham is likely the match for manchester city. You said that if the upcoming game is so difficult to forecast. That proves that even you were not even sure which team that's gonna win the game. The match can also end with draw or manchester city lose against westham. Nothing impossible since westham has madison, JWB, bowen and many great players this time.
I can't even sure to take which club that has a bigger probability of winning the game. That's why i took BTTS instead of predicting which club that will win the game.
It's likely draw can also become the result from this match.

[Hirose UK]

If this case is not resolved immediately then Antony could indeed suffer the same fate as Greenwood who really won't have the opportunity to play for Manchester United and could possibly destroy his career as a European footballer.

I think they feel heavy with the loss of Antony. The management is betting on Man United's performance on the field. Because Antony is Ten Hag's direct choice. But Man United have a dilemma, they already have good rules if they don't get Antony out they will be considered bad. I hope Antony doesn't suffer the same fate as Greenwod. Antony should have acted smarter, with this case. At least there must be negotiations that can be done so that this case does not get bigger. Waiting for the certainty of Antony's case, it seems that Man United still have hope of Antony returning to the team and innocent.

Yes, it is true that Ten Hag himself chose the option for Antony arrival but because of the incident that occurred all hope has simply disappeared and now Manchester United must stick to the existing rules.
But Antony biggest mistake was that he did not immediately resolve the abuse case and in fact there were two other women who also gave the same statement that they had been treated the same namely abuse and now Antony had to face an even more complicated problem.
There is only a small possibility for Antony to return to play with Manchester United and it is true that he is on the verge of a similar fate as Greenwod.
I repeat that currently there is only a small hope for Manchester United to have Antony again.

Antony He is a budding player of Manchester United and is currently facing a harassment case. He will not be able to return to Manchester United until the end of this case, which is why Manchester United is a bit of a weak team at the moment. But I think he is being harassed by this case because he is in a good position at the moment and his style of play is very nice. But I hope he will definitely be acquitted in this case and should be given another chance to come back to the team.

Regardless of whether he was harassed or not, it is clear that this will be very detrimental to Manchester United because seeing from the news that currently only Antony is being investigated but also Manchester United is indicated to cover up this case which makes this even more troublesome.

Antony will not be able to be in the squad with the current conditions regardless of which one is wrong and which one is right the investigation will answer that and we will only wait for the results of the investigation.
Looking at the previous case for Greenwood I think it's possible for Antony to be the same regardless of whether he's right or wrong.

In fact Manchester United is not covering up Antony case but is more inclined to look for safety so that the case doesn't have a bad impact on the squad coached by Ten Hag because we can learn from the previous case that happened to Greenwod which also had a bad impact on Manchester United.
It is difficult for Antony to solve the case and clear his good name so that he can return to Manchester United again and Antony hope seems to be on the verge of collapse even and he has a big chance of being punished by the authorities.

West Ham's performance at the start of this season was quite impressive but the opponent they will face is Manchester City who have qualities far above them. I think this will be very difficult and indeed even though Manchester City are very favorites, there is a big possibility that West Ham will provide strong resistance. This match is fierce, especially since this match will be played at West Ham's home ground.

This match is fierce, especially since this match will be played at West Ham's home ground.

I was hoping for a surprise, but it doesn't look like that will happen considering how head-to-head these two teams are. West Ham has not been able to win against Manchester City for quite a long time, whether as an away team or a home team, The best result they have achieved is a draw, and even though currently West Ham is a team that is in a good trend, that trend is very likely to be broken when faced with Manchester City a team that all of their lines played very well and did not show any decline even though one of their key players was absent for quite a long time, because the player who was placed to replace KDB's position could handle this well.
West Ham will like in previous matches, tend to play more defensively using counterattacks, but City's defense will be difficult for them to penetrate and so far City has only conceded two goals in four matches.

Manchester city is trying to keep its record as long as possible. Westham considerably strong opponent for city now. The club needs to be careful. City must have learned a lot from how westham has been humiliating brighton with big scores.
It must be a good lesson for city to know the main weakness from westham. Many people are not seeing westham as a black horse in EPL. This club may also become the strongest candidate to win europa league too.
City will be playing without de bruyne and this is why the reason why club needs to be careful as there was no a good playmaker as good as KDB in city now.
Moyes's team has ward prowse which was able performing as good as de bruyne. It's being so difficult to know the winner as both of clubs almost equal at this moment.

In fact Manchester United is not covering up Antony case but is more inclined to look for safety so that the case doesn't have a bad impact on the squad coached by Ten Hag because we can learn from the previous case that happened to Greenwod which also had a bad impact on Manchester United.
It is difficult for Antony to solve the case and clear his good name so that he can return to Manchester United again and Antony hope seems to be on the verge of collapse even and he has a big chance of being punished by the authorities.

But on the other hand, sooner or later the impact will definitely be felt and it is a certainty that Manchester United will be affected by Antony's case and they must be prepared for this condition.
Learning from the Greenwood case even though Manchester United did not suffer losses in terms of material but in terms of performance where Greenwood is currently one of their mainstay players and was simply dropped, of course there was a setback in performance in attack. Likewise at this time, Antony's condition cannot be forced especially with the demands of many parties about him having to be dropped from the squad, this also affects Manchester United's performance which is currently in poor condition and the loss of Antony will add to Ten Hag's current burden.

The latest news at this time Manchester United banned Antony from approaching Old Trafford just like Greenwood before and the 4-2-3-1 formation that Manchester United always does clearly has a void that can actually be filled by Sancho even though he is a left winger but sometimes can be forced on the right but the conditions of Ten Hag and Sancho are still deteriorating until now. This is a problem that Ten Hag must solve.

[Ahli38]

 I think that game is not going to be as easy as you think for Manchester city,I think they are just going to get their first draw in that encounter,because after I've taken a critical look at the way WestHam are playing this season,there is a strong optimism that they aren't going to loose this game against City,but rather get a draw,while Manchester city will really struggle hard to win it but it won't be possible.They are currently toping the table,haven won all their games this season,but will definitely drop points here against West Ham who are very despirate to continue their impressive form this season.

Well, if you ask me who's the favourite to win this match, my honest answer would be Manchester City because they're the title holders and also the strongest team in the EPL so far even got a better squad with more experienced players than most EPL teams, but winning against Westham won't come easy because they're surprisingly in a very good form this season, and even beat Brighton who're a nightmare to some big clubs in the league.
 I have a doubt if City word lose or draw the match I think they'll win but it's not going come very easily because they'll definitely struggle to score a goal but they're not going to lose the match against Westham regardless of Westham's form, though Westham have one advantage that could make a draw possible which is playing at home in front of their supporters, but City's got a good result away.

What makes West Ham appear so impressive this season is partly because their formation is quite unique. They defended and waited for the opponent to let their guard down and then West Ham took advantage of the gap the opponent had. I personally wouldn't hesitate to bet on Manchester City either. And normally I would be 90% sure of Manchester City winning. But this time I only have 80% confidence. But it's still pretty big. So, I think West Ham's defensive strategy will be destroyed in this match.

But I also can't forget the history at the end of last year's season. At that time, West Ham also held Manchester City to a draw at London Stadium. I hope that doesn't happen again this season.

Even though West Ham has shown a good performance, this is not enough to become a dark horse against The Citizens. The bookies are still betting far off numbers for both of them. For this match, I still favor City to win. Even without De Bruyne's presence, City still has many quality players. Even though both started the season unbeaten, I still think it is very unlikely that West Ham can beat City.

[Unknown Op]

I think Manchester City will end up winning West Ham no matter how tough they might claim to be on the day of the match even though it is their home match.
I think that Pep Guardiola not the assistant coach, will be on the pitch that day to coach and direct his team players to win the match after staying off from the club for a month due to back surgery he had at Barcelona.
The match between the both will be another additional 3 points for Manchester City. The scoreline is to be 1 nil or 2-1

West Ham and Manchester City forthcoming matchup promises to be an exciting contest. West Ham has had excellent recent form under David Moyes, and they have historically presented difficulties for City. Erling Haaland, who has the potential to transform the game, may hold the key. Even while it is certain that both teams will score, picking the winner is more difficult. With their stability, Manchester City might have the advantage, but football frequently surprises. West Ham resiliency should not be overlooked, but Guardiola return might give them an extra boost. The final score of this game could be close, perhaps a 1-0 or 2-1 victory but anything can happen in sports.
