Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Slow death]

the round started with tottenham's victory against crystal palace, in a game in which tottenham was the favorite to win the game and it was not by chance, on the field tottenham showed because they were favorites before the game even started, and they managed to win the game without many difficulties, it has been an excellent campaign for tottenham this season, with this result temporarily a little distant from the other teams, but if manchester city loses in the game against its rival manchester united then tottenham will be more comfortable in the other rounds .

Meanwhile, in today's first game, Chelsea suffered a defeat in a game in which a victory would give Chelsea an excellent opportunity to get closer to the big teams, but Chelsea wasted this good opportunity and with that they are left with only 12 points and if all If big teams win, then Chelsea's points gap with the other teams will be much greater and it will be more difficult for Chelsea to get into a position that allows them to go to European competitions. It seems to me that Chelsea won't achieve anything relevant this season. Chelsea's coach needs to go to the market to buy good players, it's funny that all the players who left Chelsea are playing well in other teams, showing a clear sign that the biggest problem is in Chelsea, more precisely in Chelsea's management. I wonder if they will be part of the big teams again

Chelsea lost 2-0 at home to brentford after a good performance.
Brentford defense was so solid that it was difficult to penetrate.
The counter attack carried out by Brentford was able to be put to good use.
good game for Brentford.

[onecall123]

This should be Chelsea's worst performance ever. With their recent form, one would have expected them to take the three points at Stamford Bridge. I never expected Brentford to won this very match. After winning Brighton, Fulham, Burnley and securing a draw with Arsenal, one would have expected them to easily win Brentford at home.

This season really look so bad and unpredictable for the Blues. Both the fans and players might be disappointed at the outcome of this match. I guess its bookies weekend once again.

It was Arsenal's poor performance last week that seemed to boost Chelsea's confidence. Chelsea had been on a four-game unbeaten streak but then lost to Brentford. This is the third season in a row that Brentford has beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It seems like Stamford Bridge has become a place where any team can come in and find success.

good game for Brentford.

In fact, from last season Brentford always managed to beat Chelsea. No matter with Chelsea having three consecutive wins, and managed to hold Arsenal to a draw in the previous match. Because anyway, in reality Chelsea still do not have a good form and of course, because Chelsea do not have a good form then that factor makes Chelsea difficult to be consistent too . I don't know if I should be disappointed or happy at this moment because after all, basically Chelsea still need time to be able to compete well again in the top zone standings, so currently Chelsea are only struggling in the middle of the standings.

Tottenham have reasserted themselves at the top of the standings after playing the opening match of the tenth week of the EPL versus Crystal Palace. The achievement of three points ensures that they cannot be overtaken by any team for the time being with 26 points. Meanwhile, the second to fifth positions in the standings will be contested by Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa, changes to the standings will depend on their respective results. That's right, City will play in the derby match against Manchester United, if they lose or draw then it is certain that their position will be shifted.

On the other hand, Chelsea had to endure embarrassment in front of their own fans after being beaten by Brentford 2-0 without reply, Pochettino squad failed to make good use of the situation, even though on paper they were quite superior in all aspects. If you think about it, it would be appropriate for Pochettino to be fired, to avoid more bad results. What is certain is that many were shocked by this defeat, and many were at a loss for words regarding their performance.

[Weawant]

Before the kick off I was almost so certain Chelsea wouldn't loose in today's game but I'm at the verg of disappointment with the performance I'm seeing so far, it's even worse to think Chelsea is at home having this experience, I taught for once that were improving after seeing the fantastic performance they pulled up against arsenal last week

Brentford wasn't supposed to be a problem to Chelsea back then in their glory days but then how they are looking like it's a struggle to draw Brentford in Their home is really not impressive, pochetino has already given us some feelings of hope with recent performance, having won a game and putting up such fierceness against Arsenal, well I hope they turn out better subsequently

[Roseline492]

Chelsea right now is on the attack, and have been since before the second half.
I still wonder how Raheem sterling came to put on the number 7 jersey because it clearly doesn't suit him and the style or strategy that Chelsea plays with.
I know for fact that Brentford is playing to win or draw, with nothing left in-between as much as a win from Chelsea.

I don't really no what is wrong with Chelsea, there performance is getting worst by the day, today's match against Brentford I was thinking Chelsea will win the match but they end up losing the game.

Chelsea tactics is not working at all, so just like you said Brentford strategy was just a defensive play with the target of either to win or draw and the pattern actually worked for them.

I don't actually no the match Chelsea will be able to win because even the Brentford that won them are not even much on a good form this season because they have played 8 matches this September till now and they have only won 3 of there matches, lose 4 matches and draw 2 match which in overall performance is very poor, perhaps considering all this fact Chelsea was suppose to win the match today.

good game for Brentford.

There must be so many gamblers lost their money in this match, the odds for Chelsea was about 1.6+ and it should be a juicy odds to be missed by bettors.
Unfortunately the game ended unexpectedly with a cleansheet win by Brentford, any of you betting on Brentford with the huge odds (more than 5.5)?
This result is a proof that Chelsea is still in unstable form, maybe we can say that their situation is similar to Man United.
Both teams bought some expensive players before the season start but it does not give good effect for the whole team so far.

[iBaba]

Chelsea is really bad. And I will take that discredit to Pochettino as well as I will take the credit to him if the club did well.  I watched the match live and my overall expression to what happened is a failure. I can not imagine that Chelsea have had 4 defeats so far since the beginning of this season.

I have analyzed that Brentford under Frank Thomas, has scored more goals and won more match in the Stamford Bridge than Pochettino and Frank Lampard combined. I suggest that Chelsea employs Thomas as their next manager. I am not comfortable with the way Chelsea have been inconsistent. Chelsea have been struggling since the start of this season. One player gets into form whereas another one gets injured. Pochettino needs to do better.

Chelsea have disappointed alot of people, not only that they've made a lot of bettors loose their bet, before the match they were the favorites to win the game and I know alot of bettors picked them based on their previous 3 performance but suprisenly they were so careless against Brentford and allowed them to score the 1st goal, I think Chelsea really need to make proper use of the winter window and get a quality finisher because that's what the team is lacking currently instead of focusing on other areas, maybe after they've succeeded in recruiting a good finisher them they could try strengthening other areas they feel is lacking.

 There performance was good though they dominated the game and where more possessive but they couldn't convert the chances they got due to the lack of a good finisher in the team, Chelsea had about 17shots but could only get 2 shots on target,however if you check their head to head game you'll see that Brentford has won them twice at Stamford Bridge in their last 5 meetings.

[KTChampions]

good game for Brentford.

Chelsea were only good in the first half, but even so, in the most important stat (after the score), they lost:

Shots 17:7
Shots on target 2:5
Corners – 10:1

Overall a classic game of “counterattacks versus ball control.”
Another fall for Chelsea to 11th place, but it seems that if we look at the last games, their game is becoming more and more lively? Maybe when they deal with the injury epidemic they will at least return to the top half of the standings.

[Asiska02]

From the very first minutes of the game Chelsea has been in full control possessing the game but wasting chances and since they couldn't break the lock Brentford has found a chance to do just that in the 58th minutes in the second half of the game and for a team with a pretty robust defense like Brentford now leading with. 1 nil it's going to be difficult for Chelsea to win this match with their terrible crossings you can't win a game such poor crosses and passes that can't even get through your opponent in their 18 box yard.

Chelsea again have wasted this match and gave away three points to Brentford. This is the fourth loss for this season for Chelsea and it against a smaller team that every one would have expected them to have won without any stress. If Chelsea will continue playing like this, no one will have hope on them henceforth. Just in their last two matches they played a very great game and we all thought that their bad days are over now but they just showed that they’re not an inconsistent team to depend on yeah. This is such an awful game and I never expected such performance from Chelsea today.

It's so unfortunate for Chelsea, just at a time when everyone was thinking that Chelsea is picking form and they lost this match to Brentford. Well, for me Chelsea did their best but their defense was too porous and I suggest Pochettino needs a lot of works to in the defense maybe he should try signing new defender this January transfer window.

This was same thing that happened in the match against Arsenal, Chelsea had every chance to win Arsenal in that match but due to some defensive errors Arsenal were able to come from behind and Equalize so I assume the problem is from the defense.

Even though I am not a fan of Chelsea, I have soft spot for them and really wish they get back to being the strong force of English Premiership.  I see the Chelsea of old as a team that knows how to defend their position and are easily overwhelmed by fatigue like the Arsenal of last season. The league title was theirs and they willingly handed it over to Manchester City.

 I am truly one of those disappointed by Chelsea this weekend. I did not bet on them but really wish they had won today's game that is against a smaller team that's even away.  Truly, Brentford made the bridge to collapse. 

[Awaklara]

This is such an awful game and I never expected such performance from Chelsea today.

It seems that Chelsea has not been free from the curse that made them play so badly. losing to Brentford with 2 goals without reply at home was really bad for Pochettino. he really got a hard slap from the results of that match.

in another match, Arsenal was already 2-0 up against Sheff. This result will strengthen Arsenal to catch up with Tottenham and on the other hand, bury Sheff deeper at the bottom of the standings without winning points in 10 matches.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Haaland is still the player with the most goals earlier this season. 9 matches scored 9 goals. Followed by Moh Salah with 7 goals. I think Haaland will still be the favourite to be the top scorer this season.

Here's a provisional list of the 5 names of EPL top scorers
1. Erling Haaland 9 goals
2. Mohamed Salah 7 goals
3. Son Heu Ming 7 goals
4. Alexander Isak 6 goals
5. Jarrod Bowen, 6 goals

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers

Haaland continues very well this year. This kid is a goal machine. 9 goals in 9 matches is a great statistic. We see that he scores 1 goal in every match on average. Still, I don't think it will reach a rate like Guirassy, ??this year's big surprise. This year is his year in the Bundesliga. While we thought that Haaland would be the player who would score the most goals in all leagues, his most serious rival came from Stuttgart. I never thought about this possibility at the beginning of the season.

it is to too early to to say haaland will be the favorite this season after just 9 games in the EPL some of the key players who contributed to his success last season are no long with the club or faced one form of injury the likes of gundogan who is on a free transfer to Barcelona who contributed so much to his successful outing last season no longer there and also k.De bruyne the engine house currently injured has actually affected the haaland a little bit

I also think the same, and although Haaland is a very prominent player who is on everyone's radar all the time, I think things could turn out very well for the Viking if he continues with his good streak, but now he can be the top scorer of the PL only has 9 games and it's true and I agree, I think there is still a long way to go, the POL is one of the best leagues that exist and are classified, only because the level of football is very high and that is something that happens as it happens time, at one point many years ago I remember that I was small and the best football in Europe was in Italy, where the stars went to Ialia so they could do their thing, then it went to the League, in Spain where it was considered that The best level of football was there, so in this order of ideas it is believed that the best level is now in the PL, which seems good and demanding to me, for this reason I will always see that the best will be there Now I think that when football becomes more demanding, where will it be located? in what LEAGUE? In Europe or where?

This makes us think a lot that things can go in the right direction, I think that now things can be seen that yes, Haaland can be the undisputed scorer, but there is still a long way to go, if he is a player who focuses and if Pep Guardiola gives him the corresponding support and he doesn't block it like he has done, well he can go there although I say something, for me Haaland can be in a Real Madrid where the glory can be very big for him or but of course, let's see the performance he can have in Man City, because as I said, they have no resemblance to what they were before, for me City has lost a bit of the level they showed last season, I would like this team to emerge, and Pep is very nice to take a team forward, but he must make way for the best players to do what they can do well, and if there is one thing Haaland can do, it is score goals, and I think that is always his goal.

Chelsea right now is on the attack, and have been since before the second half.
I still wonder how Raheem sterling came to put on the number 7 jersey because it clearly doesn't suit him and the style or strategy that Chelsea plays with.
I know for fact that Brentford is playing to win or draw, with nothing left in-between as much as a win from Chelsea.

I don't really no what is wrong with Chelsea, there performance is getting worst by the day, today's match against Brentford I was thinking Chelsea will win the match but they end up losing the game.

Chelsea tactics is not working at all, so just like you said Brentford strategy was just a defensive play with the target of either to win or draw and the pattern actually worked for them.

I don't actually no the match Chelsea will be able to win because even the Brentford that won them are not even much on a good form this season because they have played 8 matches this September till now and they have only won 3 of there matches, lose 4 matches and draw 2 match which in overall performance is very poor, perhaps considering all this fact Chelsea was suppose to win the match today.

Well considering that Chelsea has given a lot to talk about, I wouldn't judge why they are losing control the level of the PL is not just anything, I am sure that the players in each game give their all, it is also the games with such strong teams They leave them in a more conservative way, so you could say that the game against Arsenal was very difficult, and this resulted in a draw, but everyone wonders why it is not so easy to maintain the level , the fatigue and the fact that it takes its toll on the players, then it could be said that what is most expected by many is to see a superior performance, but so far Chelsaea is emerging from a very deep and dark hole, where the coach was Considered in danger , and even so the things they can do are very different and of course everything takes its toll, but they haven't done anything wrong, last season it was something that was Disastrous, nowhere did I see that they could come out on top, and that is something that It can affect Everyone at Chelsea.

Mauricio Pochettino forced to intervene after furious Chelsea fan clashes with Nicolas Jackson vs Brentford

Mauricio Pochettino jumped to the defence of Nicolas Jackson after an angry Chelsea fan made his feelings known during Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford.

It was an afternoon to forget for the Blues as second-half goals from Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo sealed a 2-0 victory for the visitors.

Thomas Frank's side recorded their second league win of the campaign and climbed to 14th, while Chelsea remain in 10th as several players continue to struggle for form.

Nicolas Jackson may feel disappointed by his start to life in England's top flight. The 22-year-old, a £32 million signing from Villarreal, has scored just two goals in the league so far.

And after struggling for periods during Saturday's game at Stamford Bridge, one supporter voiced his frustrations at the Senegal international.

The fans are quite strong because they are very very Demanding , for me things when they are about how to make a player or many feel good on the fields , for Example things when they are quite strong should not be like that, it is Well , adrenaline is one thing , but you shouldn't mess with the players either, the Coach's opinion is fine.

[hyudien]

It's so unfortunate for Chelsea, just at a time when everyone was thinking that Chelsea is picking form and they lost this match to Brentford. Well, for me Chelsea did their best but their defense was too porous and I suggest Pochettino needs a lot of works to in the defense maybe he should try signing new defender this January transfer window.

This was same thing that happened in the match against Arsenal, Chelsea had every chance to win Arsenal in that match but due to some defensive errors Arsenal were able to come from behind and Equalize so I assume the problem is from the defense.

Chelsea has spent a lot of money to buy several players but the quality is low. It doesn't matter as long as the money keeps Todd Boehly broke. Since the start, there have been many problems in Chelsea management due to inappropriate decision making.
Chelsea returned to its initial setting when losing to Brentford. I was wrong because I was optimistic that the Blues could continue their positive trend. However, if in the end they are unable to score a single goal at home, this will be a major blow for the coach to evaluate his defense line.

[Ruttoshi]

Today's is Nketiah day as he scored the first and the second goal with a great finish. He has scored the second goal for his club on the 50th minutes of the match after the keeper pushed out the ball, Nketiah was at the right place at the right time.

Arsenal is in control of the match and they are enjoying possession. Shiefield united look very weak to stand the pressure mounted on the by Arsenal and I have seen that this is a clear three points match for Arsenal today. Nketiah hasn't had a hat trick before but who knows if he will be able to do it today. What a moment for Nketiah as he has gotten a hat trick in the premiere league, a super strike on the 58th minutes gave him his third goal.
Arsenal 3-0 Sheffield

Chelsea had a good game when they were beaten by Brentford, but they failed to penetrate Brentford's layered defense. Brentford really knew how to beat Chelsea today and it worked for them even though Chelsea were actually favorites to win the game.

Chelsea's main problem in this match was that they were unable to penetrate Brentford's tight defense, so they fired 17 shots, 2 of which were on target. Bad finishing means they always have difficulty finding goals, that's the problem Pochettino is still having difficulty solving for Chelsea. Defeat was inevitable because Brentford really took advantage of their opportunities well.

[xzone]

I don't think I've seen many players score a hattrick this season. Scoring 3 goals in just 58 minutes is a great achievement. I congratulate Nketiah, let's see if he can manage to score another goal in the rest of the match.
We can say that Arsenal is having an easy match, they win 3 points easily
