Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Tellek Garing]

I am curious to see the only interesting game of today which is being played tonight between Burnley vs Manchester United.I am very much interested in seeing how Manchester United will behave in this game as despite them losing the Champions League game against Bayern Munchen they played well.This makes me confident in thinking and betting on them to win this game despite very bad results lately as 3 games being 3 lost ones for them,it is time that they make a good turn for both the Premier League and the Champions League as surely they have got the firepower needed to do that.

I'm very optimistic about Manchester united performance tonight as I think they wouldn't want to continue with a loosing streak. They know too well that the fans are not really happy about their recent performance and they wouldn't want to continue that way coupled with the fact that they want to get a trophy this season aswell.

Burnley do not really look to me as tho they would win although am not trying to rule them out but I know they are aswell not going to make it easy on Manchester united as they will have to earn it more like they will need to be at their best to be able to defeat Burnley because Burnley will be having the home advantage over Manchester united as the game will be hosted by Burnley.

Erik ten hag will most likely stop at nothing to win this game as a win in this game will really go a long way redeeming his image and that of the team at large. It may also have likely effect on his job too , this is my personal opinion tho. Because it's usually that when a coach suffers too many losses the next action in line is usually for the team to relief him of duty.

man united started the season in the worst manner they have lost 3 games back to back. However against burnley, man united should have a good outing with the quality they have on the pitch they will be hoping to end a losing run when the fact burnley. The red have a very good records against the clarets in recent years.

Nottingham Forest is too weak a team for Manchester City. It looks like Manchester City will win by a large margin at the Etihad Stadium. Two goals occurred within 7 minutes with a very neat goal process. This confirms that Man City will get an easy win at the Etihad Stadium. Foden's goal and Haaland's goal really impressed me. In my opinion, both goals were goals with extraordinary technique.
Manchester City almost added a goal in the 26th minute through Alvarez's kick.
A free kick is awarded to Manchester City now in the arena so close to the goalkeeper's line. Unfortunately, Alvarez didn't manage to do it well.
It's been 43 minutes of the game.

Even in last few matches, they have done good job but still there is no competition between these two teams, and we already have 2 early goals but after conceding two goals now Nottingham is doing good job and their defence is trying to have not good number of goals against them in this match.

Now as we are in half-time of this match, score is still 2 - 0 with 30 minutes good time for the Nottingham as they are able to stop Citizens for having more goals against them specially they are doing good job to stop Haaland from having enough space.

Now, Manchester City's chances of scoring more than three goals will be difficult. I saw firsthand that 10 minutes after Rodri's red card, the Nottingham players had the courage to take shots at Ederson's goal.
Alvarez was forced to be pulled out by Pep. Awonity almost scored a goal.

It was something Rodri didn't need to do on the sidelines after fighting over the ball with Morgan Gibbs-White. The referee has given him a red card and this is a big loss for Rodri in the next match even though the red card he receives will not have a big impact on Manchester City's victory in this match because Nottingham Forest will still have difficulty penetrating Manchester City's defense.

Ten Hag understands that he needs to get out of this losing streak, he needs victories and 13th place is definitely not what they expected to see at the start. Manchester United concede too much, their defense is bad and to be honest I don’t like the way Onana plays. Burnley also do not have the best defense and they conceded even more than Manchester United, so I think that Manchester United will score today, despite the fact that this is an away match, I expect them to score two or more goals, most likely they will also concede.

Manchester United is currently the 3rd team that concedes the most goals in the league. Its opponent is the team that conceded the most goals. With such statistics, I think the match we will watch will be entertaining and with many goals. Burnley is not a team that can score many goals, but they will manage to score against Manchester United. I think Manchester can score at least 2-3 goals. In order to move to the top of the league, they must use the opportunity in such a match efficiently

If Manchester United really wants to be successful in this very season they must reduce the rate at which they are conceding goals.
There is no club that conceeds such amounts of goal and will contest seriously for any title in that season. Manchester United goalkeeper must also understand the reality that he has arrived in English Premier League, which is one of the most unique league in the whole world. Carefulness should be his watch word while he should stop being unnecessary confidence in his post. Manchester United problem is diverse and little by little it accumulate to a greater fall.

Manchester United has to get three points from this match. It is actually going to be a problem if they do not. They are already towards the bottom of the table.  If they lose this match, they will surely not be doing them any favour. Even if they get one point from this match, it is not going to be enough. They will have to get three points otherwise it is definitely going to hurt them.

I can see the fourth team on the table has 13 points, and Manchester United has six points. Currently Manchester United is on the 13th position of the table. If Manchester United actually end up losing the match, there is a very good chance that they will drop positions on the table. So no other option for them other than to win this match.

Manchester City is off to another fast start. Foden and Haaland put them ahead early on. There's nothing Nottingham Forest can do now. They will defend whenever possible and try not to concede more goals. But as long as Manchester City play like this, more goals are likely. Nottingham Forest started with a fairly defensive line-up but they didn't show any resistance as they conceded early goals.
Now things may be different as Rodri was shown a red card just the start of the second half. I still don't think Nottingham Forest to try to score but Manchester City may be more defensive now. If you bet on over 4-5 goals it might be difficult to reach.

Playing with 10 players will not make Manchester City lose points in this match, I'm not underestimating Nottingham Forest but Manchester City is already 2 goals ahead, I think they can still add another goal or not at all and will be more inclined to play defensively, it seems Guardiola will arrange another strategy when Rodri gets a red card.

I think the tempo of Manchester City's game in the second half will not be high but to get another goal it might be possible if there is a gap in the Nottingham Forest defense, so far Nottingham Forest's attacks are not too worrying for Manchester City's defense, I am confident that Manchester City will get three points from this match even though they will not win with a big score or more than 3 goals.

[3meek]

Nottingham Forest haven't had a chance to do something in the game with Man City yet, but maybe they will have a chance after the red card... Of course they can't win the game, but there is hope that they will score a goal...

First goal for Foden from Walker cut back was a really good team worked goal. There will be more players in Manchester City that will score in the second half. Doku, Alvarez are yet to score, and if they are not replaced in the second half they will score or create another chance for goal. If Nottingham forest manages to score one, maybe they will be able to score another to draw this game. It is very far from happening, but it can happen now especially with Rodri now sent off from the game with a red card due to violent conduct.

Pep Guardiola was forced to change his game plan in the second half because they had to play with 10 players. Rodri received a red card due to a commotion on the sidelines with Morgan Gibbs-White and with that Doku and Alvarez had to be withdrawn and replaced by Kalvin Phillips and Nathan Ake.

Since Manchester City played with 10 players, they were really under pressure. Nottingham played better from then on and they also managed to create some dangerous chances. So far Manchester City still leads with a score of 2-0, but it is clear that they could concede if their defense fails to maintain high concentration.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest This match will be played at Manchester City's home ground so they will have plenty of attacking power today. And today's match will be Manchester City, Forest will win comfortably, no doubt, Manchester City will play great in today's match. So far Manchester City has won all the matches played in the EPL. Manchester City is the champion team of last season and in this new season they are performing as well as before which is why they are at the top of the points table. However, Manchester City is the strongest team this season, Manchester City course pep Guardiola has selected good players and they have played well in every match for that. Man City will easily win the match today, according to today's betting tips, City has the best chance to win the match.

Since this match will be held at Manchester City's ground, the team will get a lot of advantage and the performance of Manchester City team is much ahead of the opposition team, so it can be understood that Manchester City is likely to win this match by a big margin.

Nottingham forest was very far compared with manchester city. I remind you that city has destroyed westham even when the game was playing at westham's home. This will be a disaster for forest to face city at etihad stadium. City has been leaving two goals against nottingham even before the end of first half. I expect city to make at least 3 goals against nottingham forest. The domination by manchester city is really dominant in this match. Im still watching the game now and everything is going very hard for nottingham forest.
Ez three points for manchester city.

[Avirunes]

Nottingham Forest haven't had a chance to do something in the game with Man City yet, but maybe they will have a chance after the red card... Of course they can't win the game, but there is hope that they will score a goal...

City are possession playing team and with that opponents doesn't has much chances. A team planning to win against City should be able to sharpen their attack enough to find goals in just few attempts because that is how it is when a club faces a side like City. Forest are not sharp enough and no wonder that they haven't found a goal against City till now. I think even with red card they wouldn't be able to find a goal.

As expected Manchester City will win the match quite easily and currently Manchester City still has the advantage with 2 goals and the second half is almost up.
There is no longer any hope for Nottingham to catch up or even beat Manchester City.
Even though Manchester City received a red card and had to play with 10 players Manchester City could still optimize their strength making it impossible for Nottingham to have a chance to equalize.
Now time is up and it continues with extra time and let see a win for Manchester City.

In as much as I've always been an advocate of not underrating small teams, I still can't help but agree with you, Manchester city's performance in all their games this season have made them almost unbeatable by any team in this current season in the EPL, though being an Arsenal fan and my happiness is seeing Arsenal win all their games, but when it comes to beating Manchester city, it's almost impossible..

Even though this is the reality, in my opinion, so far the only clubs in the Premier League that still have potential and can provide a tight game can be said to be Arsenal and Liverpool. As far as I know, these two clubs are quite stable and at certain times Manchester City is not always in favorable conditions. So, if you look at Arsenal's growth in a more positive direction, it doesn't rule out the possibility that the meeting between Manchester City and Arsenal will be a match worth paying attention to for all Gunner fans.

The competition between them has happened since last season even Manchester City almost failed to get a title, luck is still on Manchester City side when Arsenal miss important points at the end of the season and Manchester City use it well. For this season it doesn't seem much different, as you said Liverpool and Arsenal are still the main competitors for Manchester City.

Tottenham is another team that look solid this season and can give any top team a run of their money, Arsenal and Liverpool had already proven that they are forces to reckon with this season therefore Man City has some big challenge from those three clubs mentioned above and their is tendency that some the less fancied clubs can create an up for Man City this season too, of course four matches had so far been played with 34 matches to go how is it possible for Man City to win all the remaining matches? Absolutely not possible and my view and opinion on the present squad of Man City isn't as formidable as like season squad club like Brighton and Brentford are always difficult and hard for Man City to be defeated.

Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Liverpool these four teams are actually all capable of winning the English Premier League in my opinion. Of course, Manchester City and Arsenal are going to have the best chance. But I think all four of them are going to compete against each other very closely. I have to say Manchester City is the team that should be winning the English Premier League title. Arsenal also might be able to win. But the problem is they will have to be consistent throughout the whole season. Otherwise, if they are just good at the start and middle part of the season and cannot play well towards the end, they won't be able to win the English Premier League title.

If you only look at Bayern's on target then obviously it would be considered a save from Onana with 9 chances on target that Bayern had but in reality it was not like that.
The first goal was a mistake, the second goal he also didn't react even though it was a fairly low shot the 4th goal he failed to get out of his zone even though the ball was approaching because of Onana's indecision. And don't get me wrong, in the match against Bayern I didn't blame Onana but the fact that he was under-performing was clear in this match and even he admitted that.

As for De Gea's decision being right or not as I said before, that is now unimportant because whether it is a good or bad decision everything will not be regrettable because it has happened now.

Regarding Manchester United choice not to renew David De Gea's contract and the necessity for a more thorough evaluation of their team performance, you make a good point. It is true that Onana cannot be held totally responsible for goals conceded when up against a powerful foe with a superior assault. The players, coaching staff, and officials should all share accountability for the team performance. It may be necessary to bolster Manchester United's defence, and it's important to avoid focusing on a single player when discussing the team deficiencies. Football is a team sport, so overcoming flaws as a team should be the top concern.

That is the point because it is necessary to realize that the season continues to run and there are still many matches for them to play so that when blaming each other for previous defeats forever Manchester Untied will not be able to develop and what they have to do is focus on how to make the game they will live according to expectations and build greater chemistry and cooperation between players so that they can perform better than before.

Today's match we will see how Manchester United face Burnley and that is what must be prepared now because in this match they should not make repeated mistakes by continuing to lose and lose the matches they do.

The match was over and Nottingham was still unable to score a goal even though they created more goal opportunities in the second half. Nottingham played better in the second half because Manchester City tended to defend due to a lack of 1 player. Of course, Nottingham almost scored a goal, but Ederson's neat performance prevented it.

I don't know why there was so much drama in this match that the Manchester City players shouldn't have. The match became increasingly tense throughout the second half, but Manchester City again proved that they had a good defense rather than the sharpness of their striker.

Manchester City has a complete package of all players and all lines, especially in defense, so it is very difficult to penetrate their defense unless they make a mistake.
Actually I thought Manchester City against Nottingham Forest would be their goal party, but 2 goals with 10 players because Rodri got a red card and went off the field. And two goals is a good result and both goals came from Voden and Halaand, and Manchester City continued its record of never losing or drawing in 6 matches and remaining at the top of the standings.

Manchester City 2 - 0 Nottingham Forest. Not bad since Manchester City was able to maintain the two goals advantage although playing a whole half with only 10 players. Both Foden and Haaland were able to score early goals. Haaland scored his 8th goal in 6 games, not bad
On the other two games, Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Fulham and Luton Town 1 - 1 Wolves. Normal results since teams in both matches were close to each others.

[rahmad2nd]

Manchester United has to get three points from this match. It is actually going to be a problem if they do not. They are already towards the bottom of the table.  If they lose this match, they will surely not be doing them any favour. Even if they get one point from this match, it is not going to be enough. They will have to get three points otherwise it is definitely going to hurt them.

I can see the fourth team on the table has 13 points, and Manchester United has six points. Currently Manchester United is on the 13th position of the table. If Manchester United actually end up losing the match, there is a very good chance that they will drop positions on the table. So no other option for them other than to win this match.

Flashback, referring to Manchester United's match against Bayern. In the first 20 minutes of the first half, United made it difficult for Bayern Munich. but after that, United's game was again inconsistent. Well, there are several points that I took from that match, and this will influence United's future matches.
Referring to the Burnley vs Manchester Utd match, I am quite sure that Ten Hag has actually studied the weaknesses of his team's squad apart from several injured players. IMO, in this match United will get full points and ensure they will be better. Moreover, Ten Hag really needs a win to increase his ranking in the Premier League standings. plus, raising the squad mentality of his team.

Well, there are several players who look like they can play even though their status is still in doubt, such as Varene, Amrabat and Mason Mount. If so, some of these players will start from the bench. Plus, it looks like Marcus Rashford is no longer playing selfishly. we can refer to, when Rashford provided an assist for Hojlund in the match against Bayern, this was the game that United should have shown. In the match against Burnley, I am quite confident that United will win the match. even though in fact, despite the poor performance of the home team. Well, to be sure, let's just wait until this match is held.

The gap is too big. That match is finished for nottingham forest. The club must also admit that if manchester city is a very strong club in EPL. That's why it was always dominating the EPL since the previous seasons.
Nottingham should not even play the game if they could do that caused by the result was clear if manchester city is winning the game. It's hard to imagine city would be loosing against a weak club like nottingham forest.
The odds is very disappointed caused by it's very small for city due to the its superiority against nottingham forest.

Manchester City won today's match against Nottingham Forest by two goals, but Manchester City did not do much better in the second half than in the first half.  
Manchester City scored two goals early in the first half, but then Manchester City was unable to create any more stories against Nottingham Forest. Manchester City reduced to 10 men is the main reason not to perform well in the second half?  

When Manchester City scored two goals in the first half, it was thought that maybe Manchester City could score one to two more goals in the second half, but that was not the case. The first two goals sealed the win for Manchester City. By winning this match, Manchester City has risen above all other teams in terms of points.  

With the maximum number of points (18), Manchester City is currently on top of all other teams. I don't think any other team will be able to close the points gap that Manchester City has created early on with all the other teams.

Manchester city could score more than it if rodri was not getting a red card. It's bad to see him made unnecessary foul. My perspective on the matter is that he needs to tone down his aggressiveness in the upcoming game. It's pure his mistake to get a red card.

Even though city was playing only with 10 players but the quality said the truth here. Manchester city is still having a very solid defensive line at this moment. It's very hard for forest to use counter attack against manchester city.

Some backs like walker was always securing the sideline. The quality was never a lie. There is a reason why manchester city being called as best club in the world right now.

City can still keep the cleansheet even with 10 players against 11 players of nottingham forest.

[Popkon6]

Manchester City is off to another fast start. Foden and Haaland put them ahead early on. There's nothing Nottingham Forest can do now. They will defend whenever possible and try not to concede more goals. But as long as Manchester City play like this, more goals are likely. Nottingham Forest started with a fairly defensive line-up but they didn't show any resistance as they conceded early goals.
Now things may be different as Rodri was shown a red card just the start of the second half. I still don't think Nottingham Forest to try to score but Manchester City may be more defensive now. If you bet on over 4-5 goals it might be difficult to reach.

Manchester City were very aggressive from the start and Forest resisted heavily. Manchester City scored two goals before halftime and did not score any more goals. Meanwhile, after half time, Rodri got a red card and left the field. His foul was horrible to say the least. Forest could not use the opportunity of Rodri going out of the field, but there were many attacks in this opportunity, but no goal was seen. The game after half time was very competitive as Manchester City were a player down so this was Forest's biggest chance of the game.

[Razmirraz]

The first half has finished and Manchester City is two goals ahead of Nottingham Forest, meaning that in this match it is very clear who will win even though Nottingham Forest still has time to equalize. But I'm not sure about Nottingham Forest's abilities and I even think there will be another goal for Manchester City in the second half. Because so far Manchester City is still quite good and consistent in winning matches in the Premier League.

The start of the second half was a bit of a disaster because 1 minute into the second half Rodri got a red card and of course this slightly reduced the intensity for sure for Manchester City.
But on the other hand with a 2-goal advantage at the moment I am not too doubtful about them and surely 3 points they will still get in this match even if they play with 10 players, it's just that surely in this case Pep will try to change some schemes and will slightly hold back the intensity of the attack unlike in the first half because still losing Rodri this will be a little disturbing if they try to go all out in the attack carried out.

Manchester City managed to secure victory even though they had to play with 10 players at the start of the second half. Manchester City attack was not like the first half after Rodri left the field, but Manchester City was still too strong for Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola did not make many substitutions in the second half, Pep only made three substitutions throughout the second half.
This victory makes Manchester City the only team that has managed to achieve perfect points in the 6 games they have played, the first position is still theirs because the points they have collected have not been able to be caught up by their rivals.
