Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Well it's obvious that the absence of two players Kelvin Debruyne and Rodi has contributed to their poor performance and this should let Pep Guardiola to know that the team still needs strengthening,

Yes mate I think Manchester city are suffering from extreme injury problems and the match against arsenal exposed how even them can fall without the right players, they are missing Kevin and some players are playing the wrong roles or aren't playing in their natural position.
One of the biggest mistakes they made was to sell some very important players and they didn't improve their midfield

You're right, mate. I agree with you regarding Manchester City's horrible injury situation. Their failure without Kevin De Bruyne has been difficult. Kevin seems to drive that middle, no? They have so many injuries that appears like they sold their souls to the devil and are now hurt everywhere. It's hard to think such key guys went, but that's football, right? I get your point about some sales being bad. That midfield has looked like a ship without a captain lately. Feel the same way? Is the spirit lost without the faces we associate with City's glory?

Hopefully  G Pep  can soon find the right formula when they can't play the players they usually rely on. Because looking at the composition of the players owned by Manchester City, they actually have an evenly distributed squad and we know that is an advantage they have. But it seems that even though they have a squad like that, they still have some obstacles that ultimately make their perfrmance not at its best.
But I still appreciate them, it's not a matter of winning or losing, but in terms of the actual game they are not much down unlike the teams we usually see which if they experience a decline they are very worrying.

Now I we they can still rise quickly, and in the upcoming match they will be back with plyers who were previously absent, such as Rodri. They must find a moment of revival, and one of them is to win the upcoming match, at home to Brighton.

Being a Spurs fan, when Poch came in, I thought that's probably the best thing ever happened to Spurs besides Kane, in Spurs recent past. Ange is making things even better! The manager of the month two times in a row along with great results for Spurs.

Yes, Man City's situation is very difficult at the moment... Soon the match against Brighton, then the Champions League, then Man U... Although they have time to gain strength, but without key players it will be really hard for them... Probably they can lose points in the next EPL matches...

 I see Mauricio Pochettino being quite ambitious by saying his team are confident after the win at Burnley before the international break and with two straight wins, I think he's feeling his team can beat any team. Should someone remind him that Arsena are the team they'd be meeting after the break? Let's see if they will be so confident after then. Mauricio has done a good job of not listening to critics and remaining focused but if we're him I'd talk less and work harder because Arsenal are riding on a high of defeating Man City and won't take chances with Chelsea, especially as they visit the Blues. In the total of 74 meetings between the two, Arsenal has won 27, while Chelsea has 26. The game will be a decider for not just who gets the three points, but also bragging rights.

Was Ten Hag's sacking a good decision? This will set a new record again for Man United. But indeed I read a lot of news in the local media, Man United players began to dislike the coach's policy. I don't really understand, but in these conditions it should be professional players with whoever they work with. But indeed if the condition has been bad then they could have bad results. It seems that the problems with Sancho and Ronaldo will be a problem that continues to be remembered.

I think that on the one hand, Ten Hag dismissal could indeed bring changes to the Man United squad, but on the other hand, it is too risky because the new coach might experience the same thing, meaning it is not guaranteed to lead United to consistently win. The internal conflict within the United squad involving Ten Hag and several players has not yet been resolved, tensions with Sancho continue to this day.

Ten Hag doesn't seem to be completely liked by the players in the dressing room, I think the approach Ten Hag uses doesn't suit some of the players. What is clear is that it really affects the team performance as a whole, in my perception the option to end Ten Hag tenure at Old Trafford is indeed better, United management should also think so.

Recently in the Premier League, the habit of firing coaches who have not produced maximum results for only 1 or 2 seasons immediately faces big risks. I mean, if you look at the past, coaches who were successful in bringing a club took a long time to really be able to achieve a good balance between performance and players who supported each other. However, the demands of today's trainers are quite heavy, with minimal experience capacity, the demands to provide maximum results are immediately imposed. It would be nice if coaches were given a little leeway so they could show the results of their hard work.

However, I know that competition in the coaching field is currently quite tight and there are always replacement options that can be called upon at any time. Does Manchester United deserve a new coach other than Ten Hag? and able to guarantee that Manchester United will become a strong team? I don't think that's a guarantee at all. We like to criticize Ten Hag's strategy, but suggestions to replace it are clearly not an objective assessment. Although I hope Manchester United can perform optimally, this also requires player continuity. If the players they have are not able to meet the criteria of changing coaches 10 times then the results will remain the same. So basically we just need to give Erik Ten Hag more time to assemble his squad.

[Litzki1990]

I have no comments over its attackers and midfielders. Even though MU was missing some players like antony and sancho but the club can still perform so well. MU really needs great defenders to step up. MU can't do that without having a solid defensive line who can protect the goal keeper from the opponent's attackers. The next few games are not going to be easy for manchester united caused by it is still in critical position on UCL with 0 points achieved so far combined with bad performance in la liga which was still making MU out of top 10.
Manchester united needs to step up their game by bringing the great defenders during the winter transfer window. MU can't have defenders who were alway cowering and hiding.
MU needs to buy some people who can bring the great protection to the goal keepers. It will also make the goal keeper less panic from so many attack that was coming from its opponent.

Checking the problem of Manchester United, is weigh beyond the ordinary resilience we're watching, the Red Devils need all round modification in all positional areas in an attempt to enhance them and prepare them for more challenging games ahead, Erik Ten Hag should make plans for upcoming games because there's really a whole lot of work to take into consideration if they're keen on the team's development. From the defenders to the midfielders to the strikers, they are all unprofessional on the field, with the exception of a handful who possess the basic attributes required. Manchester United should add additional players during the January transfer window.

No matter how much Manchester United plan, their performance will never improve if they don't replace some players in certain areas. I don't understand why they realize from the beginning of the season that they need to replace players in some positions and yet they keep players in the XI who can't play any role for the team. Erik Ten Hag's only plan now is to strengthen their defense lineup. They must recruit quality defenders to the club to strengthen their defense line-up. If they work on their strikers besides changing the defenders, this team can definitely do well in the upcoming matches. Manchester United's strikers are experienced and skilled enough but they are not playing at their best, Erik Ten Hag needs to bring out the best from his players to become a better team.

In the total of 74 meetings between the two, Arsenal has won 27, while Chelsea has 26. The game will be a decider for not just who gets the three points, but also bragging rights.

I quite appreciate Pochettino self-confidence because it is normal for him to do what he does as a coach to build the mentality of his players. Because if Pochettino says otherwise, it means there is doubt that he is not capable of managing a team. Maybe Pochettino said that because he was carried away by the atmosphere after winning.
We know that being able to beat Burnley is not a benchmark for Chelsea to return to its best performance. Burnley quality cannot be compared to Arsenal who are in much better condition, frankly not a worthy comparison. So Pochettino should prepare himself and his players mentally while he still has time. Because this match will be very important for Arsenal and will maximize victory. Like it or not, Chelsea will be the next target for Arteta troops who are hungry for victory.

Being a Spurs fan, when Poch came in, I thought that's probably the best thing ever happened to Spurs besides Kane, in Spurs recent past. Ange is making things even better! The manager of the month two times in a row along with great results for Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur is unbeaten this season, having one of the most incredible starts in the English Premier League. Tottenham ranked first on EPL table this season, it's good news for Spurs because they have worked really hard for it. Angelos Postecoglou have been awarded Manager of the Month two consecutive times, is good news to see the massive improvement in Tottenham Hotspur. Next game is against Fulham, a tough one but I strongly believed in Postecoglou game style, he's on a different level and have power to comprehend the game, I've this feeling they're heading somewhere, they might shock everyone with winning EPL this season, nothing is too impossible to happen.

Newcastle will get tough opponent for next weekend Crystal Palace this because based on head to head statistics Crystal Palace can make Newcastle get in trouble several times and from 3 latest matches both teams always be playing draw without scores goals in all competitions so this proven Crystal Palace has a potention to stole point from Newcastle and Crystal Palace away matches records also isn't so bad and last time they can beat Manchester United at Old Trafford

I didn't checked the odds yet but i will assume Newcastle is the favourite but i don't think Crystal Palace can beated with easily because since Roy Hodgson train this team Crystal Palace performance was increases rapidly and besides that as a mediocre team Crystal Palace has solid defense because until week 8 they only conceded 7 goals but indeed Newcastle condition is much better now especially after their striker Callum Wilson return from his injured and probably will be played in this match so very interesting to know who is the winner of this match

Being a Spurs fan, when Poch came in, I thought that's probably the best thing ever happened to Spurs besides Kane, in Spurs recent past. Ange is making things even better! The manager of the month two times in a row along with great results for Spurs.

Ange has been changing the club a lot especially on its gameplay, i meant spurs is now having fast counter attack and the club is not dependent on kane since he was leaving from the club.
Richarlison is not that good but the club is now fully relying on son as the main playmaker for spurs. He was playing as an attacking midfielder but sometimes moving forward as a striker as well.

This guy is a hard worker. No doubt many teams are targeting him on winter transfer window.

Poch sounds like an ex-coach of Spurs, Pochettino.  

Ange is making amazing management in Spurs and his players have been playing well to stand at a very high position. It's first season after many years, Spurs can get to a position that is competitive enough for Premier League title. The season is long and many matches left so it's too soon to hope Spurs will make an unbelievable season like Leicester City to win Premier League. In this season, so far Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have been playing well too and there are no similar conditions from very terrible performances of big clubs like in a season Leicester City won Premier League.

Tottenham in fact was a victim in that season too as they failed to race against Leicester City. Will they repeat that success of Leicester City in this season? Will Ange surprisingly lead his players to win the league like Claudio Ranieri years ago?

[Coyster]

Angelos Postecoglou have been awarded Manager of the Month two consecutive times, is good news to see the massive improvement in Tottenham Hotspur.

Congratulations to Ange Postecoglou, i think he clearly deserves this award for how well he has improved this Spurs side, unbeaten thus far in the league this season and they sit top of the table, i know it is still quite early but nonetheless it is an achievement for him and the club. Spurs were struggling to get a winning mentality, even their former manager Antonio Conte publicly criticized the players for not doing enough to win, Ange has completely changed the atmostphere around the club and the players are hungry again. Nobody expected Spurs to be in the title picture at the start of the season, but if they continue in this way they could be title contenders.

Beating Burnley won't change anything and I think Chelsea will still be doubted whoever their next opponent is. I know that the victory over Burnley can fuel the enthusiasm of his players, but actually Pochettino is not aware that his players sometimes have difficulty achieving perfect results against teams they should be able to beat easily. If the benchmark for his confidence is beating Burnley, then what about other teams such as Brigton or Aston Villa who have appeared quite impressive so far. Not to mention that they are up against other strong teams such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool who will still be favorites as the top teams for this season. It's certain that Chelsea won't be able to do anything against these teams and talking about their next opponent being Arsenal, of course Pochettino's confidence means nothing at all. It's clear that Arsenal will embarrass them, especially since Arsenal is on fire after having a closer target of topping the standings and overthrowing the city team, namely Spurs, in the match against Chelsea later.

Well it's obvious that the absence of two players Kelvin Debruyne and Rodi has contributed to their poor performance and this should let Pep Guardiola to know that the team still needs strengthening, he Ned's to send scouts to search for players that would cover up for those above mentioned ones in cases like this, however Rodri could be in the line up after the break to face Brighton, atleast it would be able to reduce the pressure mounted on the team until the return of Kelvin Debruyne.

Actually, Man City has 4 players who can play as defensive midfielder or center midfielder. So, there is no need to order Scout looking for new players to cover up Rodri's position. Meanwhile for attacking midfielder, Man City has Bernardo Silva. So, Man City isn't in urgent for a new players to cover up De Bruyne's position, too. What Guardiola needs to do is to improve the mentality of the players. He also needs to order the substituted players to improve their abilities. I assume Guardiola rarely rotate the starting lineups, it also probably brings impacts to the substituted players.

Well I knew they would find it very tough to win against Arsenal based on Arsenal's current performance and home advantage but it was the match against Wolverhampton that got me suprised cause I expected them to comfortably beat Wolves after their defeat in the EFL tournament against Newcastle, Pep Guardiola needs to do everything possible to make sure they win against Brighton if not their confidence level would reduce very bad.

Playing against Arsenal is more difficult because they have stronger midfielders now. Rice-Jorginho-Odegaard seems perfect combination for the midfield of Arsenal. If they play in their best form, the opponent will be difficult to attack Arsenal. Man City could win the ball possessions at that time, but they couldn't make enough shot attempts. Well, for the next match, Man City will play against Brighton at home. I think Man City won't have a problem to win the match. They must get 3 points and reduce the point gaps with Arsenal/Tottenham.

I hope Tottenham will become a champion in this season because this will make Harry Kane regret and it will be a good reward for Son to keep staying for 8 years without inactive. If Richarlison could back to his good performance in Brazil, Tottenham would be one of strongest team. It's true they're currently in the top position, but most people think it's just a fluke.

He deserves the Manager of the month they have lesser games to play with absence from Champions League or European Competitions.
I would love to see James Madison winning an award too next month, he should have been the player of the month.
But anyways, Congratulations to the Australian Manager.
Tottenham Hotspur will have hard challenges next few weeks. They've got this only of they work together as a team regardless.

They could repeat that, both Arsenal and Manchester City are both hungry it's time for a massive change believe it. Lastly, Congratulations  to Bruno Fernandez, he won the goal of the month.

Its not too early because there is possibility that Spurs will make new history with Ange Postecoglou, even though it seems too early, but if Spurs are able to appear consistent with the performance they have, I am sure they will remain at the top of the EPL standings. but we also have to first consider how other teams such as Arsenal and Man City are performing, who are currently also in a state of enthusiasm to pursue first place in this standings and if possible Spurs will continue to lead in the EPL, this will be very interesting because the dominance will change to another team.

You used past tense in place of future tense such that I got confused and began to search the threads were it was discussed that Manchester United has sacked Erik Ten Hang. Manchester United should not conceive of sacking Erik Ten hang because he is not the problem of Manchester United. If Manchester United insists and sack Erik Ten Hang, their problems will be like that of Chelsea who is always changing coaches.

Manchester United management needed to release money to get quality players to Manchester United. Since the last 5 season's or so, there have been many average players in Manchester United. You honestly cannot use average players to compete with Manchester city, Arsenal and Liverpool. Let alone the risen stars like Brighton and Newcastle United.

Personally I don't think Tottenham have a Premier League Championship worthy squad. But still this team is doing great. They have been consistent since the start of the season and are currently at the top of  the points table.  They are unbeaten in 8 matches, won 6 matches and drew both.

Tottenham's match strategy is  good. Also the  understanding between the players is also excellent. This is why the performance of this team is very stable. But I am not sure if this team can maintain consistency.  Their performances have not  been consistent as we have seen in previous seasons. However, the team still has the potential to finish in the top four of the table. We might see Tottenham in the Champions League next season.

You're right, mate. I agree with you regarding Manchester City's horrible injury situation. Their failure without Kevin De Bruyne has been difficult. Kevin seems to drive that middle, no? They have so many injuries that appears like they sold their souls to the devil and are now hurt everywhere.

If you talk of injury crisis I don’t think you should call a team like Manchester City because Kevin De Bruyne is the only relevant player who is missing out, they have Haaland, Grealish, Bernado and Foden all available so I wouldn’t refer to them as a team experiencing injury crisis. De Bruyne is the only creative player in the team that’s why they find it difficult to penetrate opponents and score goals and even the almighty Haaland is struggling to have a decent game because the only creative player in the team is not available. Without any creative player thy will continue to suffer until De Bruyne returns from injury.

I hope Tottenham will become a champion in this season because this will make Harry Kane regret and it will be a good reward for Son to keep staying for 8 years without inactive. If Richarlison could back to his good performance in Brazil, Tottenham would be one of strongest team. It's true they're currently in the top position, but most people think it's just a fluke.

I doubt if that could happen, it’s not impossible but it will be difficult to see them win the league. Winning the league takes consistency and also it requires having a squad depth that can replicate the performance of the starting lineup in case any player suffers from injury. With the look of things I don’t think there is a substitute player that can replace Son perfectly and replicate his performance in case he suffers any injury, the same goes for Bissouma, Romero and Maddison. If any of these players suffers any sort of injury the team will drop in performance and if that happens they will easily miss out in the title race because the season will be tough and challenging.

I hope they can maintain the momentum till the end of the season, they have tried enough to win a trophy these past seasons so let’s hope they can make their dream come true this season.
