Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

~~~

The Blues are not well organized and this was very clear in the match against Arsenal yesterday, however, they did not lose to Arsenal, I think that is enough for the fans. Considering that Pochettino is still experimenting a lot with his formation, and has not yet found the right standard to fill the starting XI due to the storm of player injuries that has not yet completely ended. On the other hand, I think it will take quite a long time to build the desired squad, especially if it is dominated by young players.

Pochettino can breathe a little sigh of relief over the improvement in his squad performance, but there is still a need for a lot of improvement in every line. I'm really looking forward to the debut of their striker christopher nkunku, reportedly he will be available soon and I hope he's better than nicolas jackson. At least it can help Chelsea get closer to the top four in the standings, even though this seems quite difficult.

Chelsea really had good form in the first half, it wasn't about the goals but I was impressed with the team's performance. But they lost concentration when building an attack from below in the second half where Robert Sánchez miscalculated when passing the ball to his partner which led to Declan Rice's goal.

Declan Rice's goal opened up big hopes for Arsenal to comeback, as a result they managed to do it through Leandro Trossard's goal. Chelsea have improved in terms of appearance, but they are not yet stable on all fronts. So it was a good job from Pochettino and I hope he can make more changes to Chelsea's performance in the next game. Nicolas Jackson is bad, really he is too bad when he has goal chances.

[Bananington]

On the other hand, I was very surprised to see Harry Maguire's performance in this match and he even became POTM against Sheeffield. Who would have thought that this Red Devils defender, who always makes mistakes, could have such a big impact on Manchester United. Especially as a back-up defender, Harry Maguire gives everything when the team needs it. If you look at Harry Maguire's statistics, he ranks first in every part he plays and I think this will be the starting point for Harry Maguire in the future to remain consistent. We also know that Harry Maguire never gives up competing with other players to get his starting position back. I think the competition for places in the back line will heat up and Erik Ten Hag will have to make his choice correctly.

The pressure is off him, attention is now more on Onana. Good thing for Harry Maguire too because he has long been bullied and criticized. If this is an indication of Harry Maguire returning back to his best, Manchester United will not be able to keep him when other clubs come for him during the transfer opening to give him a first team position and option. If he can consistently perform at this level till the end of the year, his value will surely increase.

The players in Aston Villa have a very good harmony with each other and thus they perform well in the matches. I think Aston Villa will continue to win like this.

They have a striker who is very in form as well as some other players, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Matty Cash, Leon Bailey etc. They were too sharp for West Ham to control.  Areola tried, but his efforts were not enough.

[BALIK]

West Ham United is getting really washed up right now. There efforts to have a come back or get any point from this game has just been zeroed out as Aston Villa  has now got a 3 goal lead with L. Bailey coming to score off the bench. All efforts to restrain Aston Villa from any huge impact almost results to nothing and every move forward seems to be a good goal attempt.
I think what Moyes and his side would be waiting out now is the final whistle because, with justbplus minutes to go, there is nothing they could do to offset the results or even get a goal but, could restrain from conceiving even more goals as Aston Villa continues to look more threatening.

It was an easy win for Aston Villa, I didn't expect them to score so many goals. They even managed to score in the last minute and are now in 5th place in the table, among the best in the league.
They are not in the leading position with only a one-game difference, which is a very good situation for them. If they can continue to play like this this season, they can finish the league with a better result than they have had in many years

It's never easy to predict a 4-1 against a team that is close to them in the Premier League standings, but I had a more precise look at their performances at home this season and I think it was 13-2 goals and a perfect 9/9 points in 3 games. That's why at first I thought it would be more like a close game, maybe 2-1 or maybe West Ham United would be able to steal a point, but then I thought that it is more likely they will go on with their strong performances at home and don't leave West Ham with a chance. Really good game by them and they are a strong force at home.

I did not expect such a different score in a match between two teams close to each other in terms of points. After the first half ended 1-0, I did not expect so many goals in the match. I thought Aston Villa would play a defensive game. That's why I didn't bet on the second half. If I had played, I probably would have won because there were 4 goals in the second half.
The players in Aston Villa have a very good harmony with each other and thus they perform well in the matches. I think Aston Villa will continue to win like this.

Aston Villa are in very good form. I was sure Aston Villa would not drop points in today's home match. Still I expected to see a competitive match. Because while West Ham's performance was erratic, the team was very strong and the first half was very competitive. West Ham played very well. The first half ended 1-0. But in the second half we only saw the dominance of Aston Villa players. At the beginning of the second half, luiz scored from the penalty spot. After that, West Ham scored a goal, but they could not get back on track. Douglas Luiz's performance was very good in today's match.

[Josefjix]

Former Arsenal, Sevilla, and Villarreal head coach has experience when it comes to the Premier League you know, not just that, European Competition shouldn't be a problem for Aston Villa to win games.
They attacked with high intensity. Douglas Luiz putting them ahead from the penalty box. I was hoping to see a draw with Westham comeback but the penalty claim to that wasn't awarded.

Aston Villa went on to see Watkins, and Bailey Leon. I got to see a little of Youri Tielemans. He's had fewer game time since he moved to Aston Villa

3 points grabbed for Aston Villa with brilliant performance against Westham united. David Moyes had poor performance but they hope to recover. Thrilling performance from Aston Villa as they overcome the visitors at Villa Park without putting in much work. I confidently knew from the very start that Aston Villa will humiliate Westham because prior to the game details, the Hammers have absolutely having zero contributions infront of goals. Aston Villa headcoach, Unai Emery have lengthy experience in football and knows exactly how to handle competitive opposition. Ollie Watkins and Douglaz Luiz were outstanding in the game.

The only one that looked weird was Arsenal not being able to beat Chelsea because so far Chelsea looked not that good and everyone thought Arseanal was much better so they would have won, but that was a close game to begin with and that turned out to be not that complicated to be fair. I think it should be quite decent chance to bet on stuff like this and expect a good return because they are the favorites for a reason.

Yes, it looks strange, but this is what happens and Chelsea can perform well in this match. I also thought that Arsenal would win this match, but in fact they didn't.
Regardless, I hope this is the start of Chelsea's resurgence this season. Although they are still shuffling, but with the draw they got and with a good game too it could be a glimmer of hope for them going forward.
I also hope they don't show a complacent attitude, because however their process to get better is still very long.

[SmartCharpa]

I did not expect such a different score in a match between two teams close to each other in terms of points. After the first half ended 1-0, I did not expect so many goals in the match. I thought Aston Villa would play a defensive game. That's why I didn't bet on the second half. If I had played, I probably would have won because there were 4 goals in the second half.

The players in Aston Villa have a very good harmony with each other and thus they perform well in the matches. I think Aston Villa will continue to win like this.

Though I believe David Moyes could have used Mohammed Kudus in their first half of the game, it may have been easier for them. Aston Villa are really planning to take a big space in the Premier league this season. I also didn't expect that kind of goals in the second half, but I have seen Aston Villa performances getting strong to the extent of defeating West Ham 4-1 and scoring three goals in the second half. I had assumed West Ham would be stronger than this based on how they had played so far this season; I only hope that their form has not already started to decline. Aston Villa is performing incredibly well; they are now in the top 5 and have surpassed some big clubs in the league, but I think it will be very difficult for them to reach the top 4.

Manchester united might have scored the 1st goal but they're not really performing well against Sheffield United, a team that's I'm the Champions League shouldn't be performing poorly against Sheffield United, I don't understand why their players would be doing very well in their country matches and even score goals and give assists but find it difficult to perform like that in the league matches, they're still very wrong in their decision making they barely understand themselves on the pitch and always give wrong passes.

 The game is currently 1-1 draw in the 1st half and after McTominay scored to put them In front he still carelessly gave out a penalty and if Sheffield United had very good and sharp attackers I believe they would had scored more in the 1st half cause they got many chances from  counter attack, however United would had been ahead at the 44th minutes of the game been the free kick from Bruno Fernandes hit the woodwork, it would've been a very fantastic goal.

With their poor performance against Sheffield United, that was last in the league but still had chances to score and draw with Man United in their first half, I was just wondering how Manchester United will perform in the Champions League. It was disappointing to me that a club like Manchester United found it so difficult to win Sheffield, and if they keep playing like this, I don't think they'll advance past the group stage of the Champions League.

Chelsea really had good form in the first half, it wasn't about the goals but I was impressed with the team's performance. But they lost concentration when building an attack from below in the second half where Robert Sánchez miscalculated when passing the ball to his partner which led to Declan Rice's goal.

Declan Rice's goal opened up big hopes for Arsenal to comeback, as a result they managed to do it through Leandro Trossard's goal. Chelsea have improved in terms of appearance, but they are not yet stable on all fronts. So it was a good job from Pochettino and I hope he can make more changes to Chelsea's performance in the next game. Nicolas Jackson is bad, really he is too bad when he has goal chances.

Overall yeah Chelsea's performance is starting to improve but the 2 goals scored by Chelsea were lucky the first goal was via penalty and the 2nd goal from the unexpected, I mean Chelsea's attack line is not strong enough and I don't think they can compete like that. They need great players in attack and can take advantage of every good opportunity don't just hope for luck, imagine if there were around 10 minutes left in the match after Arsenal 2nd goal maybe Arsenal could have scored more goals. Have you checked Chelsea's match schedule? 5 strong teams are waiting for Chelsea in the next match I don't know how Chelsea got out of the pressure Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United.

Manchester United will face Manchester City next week at home, He should completely do another defending jobs then you can start accessing him and as well praise him.
It's very important to praise players that are worthy of the praises Harry Maguire? Laughable! He should enjoy his moment and time, when defender's like Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are fit, you will never see Harry Maguire selected ahead of them.
I don't hate him but he is not a player Manchester United should have signed.

There's literally no pressure on Andrea Onana, A good defense would make the goal keeper better, that was what happened with David De Gea's successfull season at Manchester United last season.

[execijutiere]

Yes indeed, I was quite surprised when Chelsea managed to lead with a score of 2-0 and I think, such a score will be difficult for Arsenal to equalize the score. But yes, in the end Arsenal could still make two equalizers score and managed to get 1 point in this match. But indeed, with results like this then at least Chelsea managed to show its improvement in this match. So it is very possible, for the next matches will make Chelsea able to consistently get points in each match, and it is still possible to happen and I am quite sure.

Pochettino is perhaps just starting to get to grips with the team.Chelsea started the season badly but it's still not too late for them to recover.I don't think anyone was surprised that they were 2-0 up in the 48th minute against Arsenal.Arsenal are the form team of the last few weeks and Chelsea are a really unpredictable team so this result was not expected.

Chelsea are expected to be among the title contenders this season due to the money they spent in the transfer window and the free time they have this season as they are not playing any European competition, but they have had a poor start this season, which can be categorized as a lack of understanding between the newly signed players and the new coach, but with time, I think they have come to a balanced stage since they are now using the expensive players to win some matches and making their fans happy.

Their yesterday’s match against Arsenal shows that Chelsea is back on form and can keep competing to move up soon in the Premier League table. Although I understand that the match between Arsenal and Chelsea is a derby match, which is usually unpredictable, their last three-match winning streak has proven their quality in the league.

Yes, to be honest, that was the surprising part.They made a fast start to the transfer season and they are one of the teams that spent big money.I was also expecting them to perform well in the league now since they will not appear in the European cups, but the results they got in the first weeks surprised me.I think Pochettino has not been able to fully concentrate on the team, but there seems to be a recovery in the team in recent weeks.

Chelsea have slightly improved, nothing great, but at least something for their fans to cheer about. It is easy to see that this Chelsea team are yet to blend together, individually they have very good players, but they are pretty poor as a team. Chelsea ought to have made a big statement in beating Arsenal yesterday, but you could see how easy it was for Arsenal to get back in the game from two goals down (even if they were poor throughout the game).

This Chelsea team isn't capable of winning any trophy yet, or even make it into the top four, they have quite a lot of work to do if they are to return to their previous standards, and it would take a long while to get there.

Individual talents must now contribute to the team game.Although you can stand out with your individual talent in football, you need to be a team to win the match.We can say that it is actually the job of the manager to ensure good cohesion between teammates.He should have a private meeting with the players according to the situation.After Chelsea went 2-0 up, I honestly did not expect Arsenal to take points from the match.Arsenal easily drew the match and Chelsea should question for themselves why this happened.

[ShowOff]

The only one that looked weird was Arsenal not being able to beat Chelsea because so far Chelsea looked not that good and everyone thought Arseanal was much better so they would have won, but that was a close game to begin with and that turned out to be not that complicated to be fair. I think it should be quite decent chance to bet on stuff like this and expect a good return because they are the favorites for a reason.

Yes, it looks strange, but this is what happens and Chelsea can perform well in this match. I also thought that Arsenal would win this match, but in fact they didn't.
Regardless, I hope this is the start of Chelsea's resurgence this season. Although they are still shuffling, but with the draw they got and with a good game too it could be a glimmer of hope for them going forward.
I also hope they don't show a complacent attitude, because however their process to get better is still very long.

Of course Chelsea have shown improvement and they have proven it. Mudryk is starting to show his best form, he has been scoring goals and that is helping him gain good confidence. I liked their performance in the first half, but Chelsea really failed to maintain their lead in the last 20 minutes of the second half. Pochettino needs to think about how his team can maintain a two-goal lead like that, I mean it should be maintained until the end by avoiding many mistakes.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is still struggling in 10th place in the standings with 12 points. Manchester City currently leads the standings, but Tottenham has the opportunity to take first place if they are able to beat Fulham's at tomorrow's match. Tottenham is the unbeaten team so far apart from Arsenal with 9 matches, so it feels make sense they have high hopes of winning 3 points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow.

[baeva]

If villa will keep this tempo till the second half and i think that chance to win for vilal is very big against westham. this game is very attractive to watch caused by westham is now trying to equalizing the score against villa.
Losing 1 goal in the first half is a bad result from westham.

West Ham can still win the game, they have players that are as good as the players in Aston Villa. Pacqueta is to blame for the goal because he switched off and allowed Douglas luiz the chance to score. One goal down is not so difficult to recover from, if they work hard to make sure that Ollie Watkins does not score his own goal because he is enjoying his best form.

If Aston Villa keep up the tempo, they will win against West Ham.

Did they even have a chance? Judging by the statistics, they were losing in a blowout, so the result is quite obvious, and at the end it was as if they didn't want to play at all and let the situation take its course, as a result of which they conceded two more goals. Aston Vila are one of the few teams who still haven't lost a game, surprisingly they are not that bad this season

[Chilwell]

The week with the 10th Manchester Derby will meet and Old Trafford is this match, I think Man United will be stuck points now because it is difficult to beat Man City.

Manchester United will be at Old Trafford despite that am not have much confidence in winning against Manchester City, I can comfortably say that Manchester City win Manchester United no doubt all because of the condition that Manchester United is right now, their not fit this season and today Haaland have wakeup from long sleep by scoring one yesterday against Brighton and right now Manchester City are really in a good mood despite their player are injured like Kevin De Bruyne and the rest, Kevin De Bruyne maybe the reason why Haaland is asleep but still I trust the guy he will try is best to put smile on the face of fans. Manchester United have alot of problems, I will even say they are very lucky today against
Sheffield United or is it because Sheffield United are so weak that they have not win any match this season, I will only applause for Manchester United if I see their performance against Manchester City. I am sure this match will not surprised me like Chelsea vs arsenal.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, although the first four weeks have been bad, even if we don't count the first week, we can say that they have found it, especially in the Champions League, they are pushing their opponents very hard.

with their standard of play him now I say the first four games happened as error, because the way they are playing now it amaze me since last season I saw a strong team coming and they are still maintaining that standard of play, if check their last five marches it looks great even in champions league they have started well. I so much confidence in them and I count them in club that will end up well this season.

[Cookdata]

On the other hand, I was very surprised to see Harry Maguire's performance in this match and he even became POTM against Sheeffield.

The pressure is off him, attention is now more on Onana. Good thing for Harry Maguire too because he has long been bullied and criticized. If this is an indication of Harry Maguire returning back to his best, Manchester United will not be able to keep him when other clubs come for him during the transfer opening to give him a first team position and option. If he can consistently perform at this level till the end of the year, his value will surely increase.

I think Ten Hag has seen enough of incompetence in Onana already and I'm just speechless when I look at some of the matches and highlights because Onana was the best in this time. If there is nothing that made Erik to signed, that alone can convince any manage to sign any deal to have good goalkeeper. Despite that Onana doesn't do well, Erik encourage his players his loves and likes in any interview they asked even when we know that fans have different opinions from the reference.

Don't say Maguire might stay. Manchester United are only doing all these celebration because they want to sell him in the next transfer market. They know that he is not quite good as before and since no buyers are currently coming, they need to feed him well and hype him so they can quickly sell him off to any interest manager.

They have a striker who is very in form as well as some other players, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Matty Cash, Leon Bailey etc. They were too sharp for West Ham to control.  Areola tried, but his efforts were not enough.

I dont rate Aston Villa but I think some teams winning mentality need to be study. After there first trash that comes from Newcastle, they have keep going like they are not even in the table and I'm wow that they are just 2 points away from dining with Manchester City that are on top of standing. This is crazy but I'm impressed and thrilled to see some teams becoming better than Manchester United, Chelsea and Westham.

Epic winning for Manchester United and their gradually climbing further on the table, they sits 8th position on the table and aiming to recording good points in forthcoming EPL games to cover for their poor results in previous games this season. I've noticed about the suddenly improvements of Maguire performance on the pitch, he's keen on winning back his spot in defendlines of Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag pick Harry Maguire to start the game against Sheffield United and he didn't record any mistakes, rather he sticks to the appropriate stats of impressing every Red Devils supporters with his timing tackles and forming a defense wall against the opposition at Bramall Lane.

[macson]

Chelsea really had good form in the first half, it wasn't about the goals but I was impressed with the team's performance. But they lost concentration when building an attack from below in the second half where Robert Sánchez miscalculated when passing the ball to his partner which led to Declan Rice's goal.

Declan Rice's goal opened up big hopes for Arsenal to comeback, as a result they managed to do it through Leandro Trossard's goal. Chelsea have improved in terms of appearance, but they are not yet stable on all fronts. So it was a good job from Pochettino and I hope he can make more changes to Chelsea's performance in the next game. Nicolas Jackson is bad, really he is too bad when he has goal chances.

Arsenal were very lucky, they were able to recover from a 2-0 defeat in the first half, as the hosts, Chelsea actually played very well, they managed to put a lot of pressure on Arsenal in the first half and Arsenal only had a slight "ball possession" advantage over Chelsea.  With this draw, Arsenal remains in 2nd place with the same points as Man City, Arsenal are still unbeaten to date.

Man Utd succeeded in narrowly winning over Sheff, thanks to the goals scored by McTominay and Dalot.  Sheff Utd also provided many attacks which made Man Utd's defense a little overwhelmed, they succeeded in making 12 shots and 6 shots on goal.  Sheff remains at the bottom of the standings while Man Utd is in 8th position in the standings.

[bbigtart]

You're right, Chelsea were too comfortable,  they got carried away by the 2-0 win, if they had defended properly and tried to add more goals I believe they would had won the game, to be honest the 2 1st half goal really killed the morale of Arsenal players but Chelsea gave them a better opportunity to score one and it lifted their team spirit that was why they were able to get a comeback draw.

 Pouchettino is really doing a good job currently but I think Chelsea's defense needs more strengthing, they should try strengthen their defense line by the January window, well the both teams put up a show yesterday and made the match so interesting, it was the toughest match of the week, Arsenal were lucky to get a draw they were the favorites but didn't quite impressed in the 1st half and conceded 2 goals well it's a London Derby so things like that are always expected.

A little analysis from me. Chelsea's mistake against Arsenal was that they were too confident that they had won against Arsenal from the 60th minute. Even though Arsenal were hotter this season when Arteta replaced players in the second half, and that is Arsenal's strength this season.

And Arsenal's mistake, they always have difficulty against teams that play defensively. Apart from Partey not playing, from the start Jorginho played, Arsenal were unable to create any attack creation at all. This means that Arteta still likes to make mistakes in making line ups for matches. Gabriel Jesus, in my opinion, is finished. Ode without Partey, just a midfielder like Newcastle's Guimaraes.

Advice for Poch, don't be careless in changing players, even the tempo of the game.
Advice for Arteta, play the best players, not the existing players.

[EL MOHA]

Epic winning for Manchester United and their gradually climbing further on the table, they sits 8th position on the table and aiming to recording good points in forthcoming EPL games to cover for their poor results in previous games this season. I've noticed about the suddenly improvements of Maguire performance on the pitch, he's keen on winning back his spot in defendlines of Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag pick Harry Maguire to start the game against Sheffield United and he didn't record any mistakes, rather he sticks to the appropriate stats of impressing every Red Devils supporters with his timing tackles and forming a defense wall against the opposition at Bramall Lane.

Maguire’s performance was superb, i had this season always been calling for him to get a nod in the picking other. Maguire last season was a disaster and when a player is having a form, a continuous run of games Starting will be a bad for him. So what helped Maguire more was the fact that he has been released off the captaincy duties which reduces the attention it’s Carries and also him been dropped to the bench was a very smart move by Ten Hag. Getting Benched will make a player wants to do more and this Time he might learn from his mistakes. Also been on the bench will reduce the pressure from the media.

This is also what Rashford needs to be able to regain his confidence back again, he needs to sit some games on the bench.

[Chilwell]

Meanwhile, Chelsea is still struggling in 10th place in the standings with 12 points. Manchester City currently leads the standings, but Tottenham has the opportunity to take first place if they are able to beat Fulham's at tomorrow's match. Tottenham is the unbeaten team so far apart from Arsenal with 9 matches, so it feels make sense they have high hopes of winning 3 points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow.

Chelsea are still battling but the have improved with the match against arsenal, they played very beautiful game which everyone was so surprised because many don't see what they were expecting they could have even win the match if not Robert Sanchez that give ball to rice to score, I will say that Robert Sanchez is the cause of them losing the match because after that first goal Arsenal began to have hope of winning and began to mount pressure on Chelsea which the match ended draw.

Manchester City that is at the top now I will only assume that they are just helping Tottenham to dust the the place because Tottenham we claim their 3 point, Fulham are playing away which I find it difficult for them to win Tottenham, Tottenham will maintain their unbeaten this alone give me more confidence that Tottenham will beat Fulham and reclaim back their original position where they belong. Son is a good player which I think the captain the was given to him also make him charge more because the spirit is using to play now is unstoppable.

So it was a good job from Pochettino and I hope he can make more changes to Chelsea's performance in the next game. Nicolas Jackson is bad, really he is too bad when he has goal chances.

I agree with you. In the first half, the strategy used by Chelsea was correct and very good. Their full defense only relies on counter attacks and playing effectively. They didn't carry the ball for too long and immediately passed it forward. Even though they lost the ball possession, Chelsea had the advantage.

What was Chelsea's fault in my opinion was that when they were 2-0 ahead of Arsenal, the Chelsea coach was really less intelligent and less careful in making substitutions. He always makes the same mistakes, the player who is on fire is suddenly replaced with him, two RBs are played at the same time.

Forcing build-up possession from the goalkeeper even though Sanchez's passing accuracy is very poor and too risky. And it proved to provide a fresh opportunity for Arsenal to score a goal that made them rise. For Chelsea, this draw is like a defeat.

Yes first half performance was superb and it actually went according to plan i think, they got the lead and outplayed Arsenal in every corner of the game. They missed couple of chances but they were the better side and they were at home so the performance was only right and they needed the win to improve on the momentum.

In term of substitutions and coach decision i think bringing in new players and changing the tactics was not really that bad he just wanted to adopt a defensive formation since he is winning 2-0 already, i just think it was too early to make these changes. it was just the mistake of the keeper that changed everything totally, it affected the confidence of the whole team.

Forcing the build up from behind is totally on Sanchez he had the chance to clear the ball but he chose not to do so, he have tried this several times but chelsea are always lucky but this time around they were punished and it changed the outcome of the game entirely.
