Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[abhiseshakana]

MU cannot celebrate after the hard win against Fulham because there is still much work. My surprise increased when Rashford was left out of the squad against Fulham. And in this match, both teams attacked poorly, but MU got a late goal. It is worth mentioning that this is Coach Ten Hag's 50th victory with MU. Ten Hag has spent 78 matches with MU since taking over the Old Trafford hot seat. Looking back, we see Ten Hag is still a good starting coach at MU.

The victory that Man United got against Fulham meant a lot to them. Not only does it maintain their chances in the Premier League, but this victory can increase their morale and self-confidence. Indeed, it was not their best performance but still, it is good progress and a good way to leave the negative trend behind. They still have a lot of work to do if they want to get back into the title race because if they continue to play like this, it will likely be difficult for them to break into the top 4.

There are rumors that Ten Hag punished Rashford for celebrating a birthday party after Man United lost to Man City. But I think, the decision taken by Ten Hag also seems to be related to their preparations for the match against Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Sheffield United has successfully to gets their first winning at Premier League yesterday that playing at home and as underdog status Sheffield United was playing under pressure but Sheffield United can managed their performance with very well during the match with makes Wolves was difficult to broke their defensive lines and Norwood has being an the hero of Sheffield United because he can scored at injury times and Sheffield United finally can collect 3 points i think this result was unexpected because before the match begin their opponent Wolves was in the good shape and Wolves has 5 times in a row unbeatable and they even can able to beat Manchester City several weeks ago so i didn't expect Sheffield United will be the winner of this match

[Out of mind]

Manchester city is really phenomenal, I enjoyed every bit of the match today and their performance was really brilliant, they were deserving of every goal they scored today and it was a humbling victory, although Bournemouth got a goal but Manchester city got three points.

Facing elite team, Bournemouth were supposed to prepared themselves ready to absorb pressures but they failed to do that and look at were that got them. City are sitting on top of the EPL and are comfortably hanging good performances in league games. Manchester City thrilling victory against Bournemouth was well deserved because the average side was not competitive enough to withstand the pressure portrayed by elite side. It's 6-1 on the scoresheet, my big surprise was when Erling Haaland didn't take part in any of the goal contributions, though he was substitute in the early minutes of the second half for reasons best known to Pep Guardiola. Jérémy Doku is the MOTM after he bagged 4 assists and a goal.

Bournemouth is not a strong team and they were not going to win this match against Manchester City and predicting this result to see Mancshter Ctiy winning this game was not hard for anyone but still, I was not expecting to see Bournemouth losing this game with this result because Manchester City scored six goals in this match and Bournemouth didn't even have many chances during this game.
Also another interesting thing about this game was about the new star in Manchester City, Jérémy Doku who had a good performance in the game against Bournemouth.

Although Bournemouth is not a strong team, anyone did not expect to lose by such a goal margin against Manchester City.  However, the match was at Manchester City's destination where they play best, which may be why they beat Bournemouth by so many goals. The way Manchester City attacked the opposition from start to finish was really interesting, and the match was exciting. Manchester City had 65% of the ball possession, which meant Bournemouth couldn't attack as much as they did against City. Manchester City's brilliant performance saw them win 6-1 at the opposition, which was really impressive, and they went to the top of the points table. Moreover, it was a joy for Manchester City fans, as new signing Jérémy Doku scored a goal in his first match against Bournemouth and touched the crowd.

Manchester City are a team that usually play with high ball possession and create many opportunities in their matches. In their good days, their players can destroy opponents by super high ball possession and many goals. This match is the one like this with everything goes smoothly for Manchester City. They completely dominated the match whist Bournemouth failed to bring enough challenge against Manchester City.

I only surprised about the performance of Doku as the young Belgium player has an excellent match. With one goal and four assists in a single match, this stats reminds me about another Belgium player, Kevin De Bruyne, who is still in his recovery time. In a latest interviews, he said it is a worst injury he has faced with so far in his career but he is optimistic that he will return soon and strongly.

[Roseline492]

The quality of players at Manchester  City when compared to that of their opponent Bournemouth is just too big for Bournemouth to handle and that's why City even with an Erling Haaland who wasn't in his best were able to conformably thrash them.

Actually Bournemouth has not been on a good performance this season, however they have played ten matches from September till date and they won only two matches at of the ten matches, lose six matches and only draw two matches, which in overall performance is very bad.

Perhaps with the poor performance of Bournemouth even if Manchester City is not in there good form Bournemouth cannot challenge them,  however Manchester City has played very well but although I expected more goals from them instead of the 6-1.

Bruno Fernandes has provided a temporary respite for Ten Hag, but this hard-fought victory doesn't change the bigger picture. While Ten Hag may still believe that his players are fully behind him, it's clear that their performance has been lackluster, with just a few fortunate wins to show. Competing for titles this season seems like an impossible task for Manchester United; a more realistic goal would be to maintain their current ranking and secure a spot in the Europa League for the next season.

There are rumors that Ten Hag punished Rashford for celebrating a birthday party after Man United lost to Man City.

This is the reality, not just a rumor. I believe it's an important acknowledgment of the situation. But why he was still in a cheerful mood after such a poor match?

[Zanab247]

Today's game was indeed interesting to watch. Starting from the beginning of the first kick off down to the last. I saw the performance of Manchester United and how they were able to attain victory before the end of the game. Manchester City won their match with so many goals. Am not surprised by the game because Man city remains the champions, regardless of playing a big team or a small team they always have good performance and try to win their game.

Arsenal was unable to defeat Newcastle irrespective of their performance today. This is a big win for the Newcastle fans as they secured a win on their home.

Manchester united did a miracle in this game to secured a good points from Fulham who was trying to use home advantage to stop Manchester united not to win the game but Manchester united players applied some tactics that made them to breakthrough into victory at the end of the game. If not that the first goal Manchester united player scored in the 8 minutes was not counted, it would have be 0:2 but the referee cancelled the goal because of the offside the player involved himself at the moment but Manchester united didn't allowed that challenge to bring them down than to continue good display through out the game to achieved the winning goal 0:1.

 It was a tough game for Arsenal in the home of Newcastle that made the game to ended up in the favour of Newcastle 1:0 to beaten Arsenal to drop their points because, Arsenal didn't take a good step on time in the beginning of the game.

Although Manchester United won this match, we have to say that their performance is still poor. And quite weak. They are not playing well. Manchester United were very lucky to win thanks to Bruno's last-minute goal. However, Fulham's overall gameplay was better than Manchester United's.
If we consider the last few matches of Manchester United, then it is well understood that the performance of Manchester United is quite weak. They failed to score against Manchester City and Newcastle. Manchester United conceded 6 goals in these two matches. Narrow 1-0 wins over Copenhagen and Fulham. I'm still very upset with Ten Hag's match strategy.

That was indeed a late miracle from Bruno Fernandez for the game was already signaled to end a draw at the end. Manchester United fought till the end it wasn't over until it was over.
I must say Harry Maguire was solid in defense, he doesn't deserve to be the man of the match but he has done well over the past games.
Even if VAR canceled that goal,I must agree that it was pure offside, Harry Maguire was offside and made attempts to touch the ball.

Arsenal should have drawn that, some match officials and VAR have been poor from the start of the season. Newcastle anyways ended Arsenal's winning run.

A former referee explained why it wasn't overturned and he basically said there's not enough conclusive evidence that the whole of the ball completely went past the line. What that sounds like to me is that they need to use cameras with higher resolutions so they could see a clearer picture when they zoom in.

[Swordsoffreedom]

It was a very entertaining match. Newcastle team had a great performance in the home match. Their performance was very composed from the start of the match. Newcastle players played well. Even then I thought the match would probably be a draw. But Arsenal's players failed to break Newcastle's strong defense. Although Newcastle did not play well at the beginning of the season, this team is in very good form. They have managed to maintain consistency like last season. On the other hand, Arsenal lost 5 points in the last three matches and fell behind in the title race. It's been easy for Tottenham to retake the top spot in the table. Tottenham will go top of the table if they beat Chelsea in their next match.

Finally Manchester United were able to win the match in the final minutes of the match after experiencing 2 quite embarrassing defeats at home at Old Trafford stadium, this point is very important for Manchester United to improve their position in the points table, after experiencing bad results recently I I hope Manchester United will soon recovered and improve their team performance like last seasons and continue to do their best in the future.

The matchs that Arsenal faced yesterday was their first defeat in the English league so far, I admit that Newcastle performance is in good condition at the moment, with this victory Newcastle can maintain their points and slowly start to climb into the top 5 ranking.

I remember yesterday when I commented on a reply from @Docnaster which discussed the total goals that would be scored by both teams and I said that if there would not be a big score because both teams have strong enough defenses there is no reason to be able to score while Newcastle also still has strong quite good in defense even though the surprise as I said yesterday came for Newcastle win, my prediction was right.

I am sure there were a lot of people who bet on Arsenal but they had to accept the defeat because even though they had tried as hard as possible, home side advantage was still greater and on the one hand, in the second half, Arsenal actually had a lot of wasted opportunities and Arsenal should have been able to win from some of those opportunities scored but unfortunately Arsenal could not take advantage this opportunity. but I admit that the match between these two teams was really very interesting.

Arsenal and Newcastle United have different beginnings in this season but Newcastle United, after poor start now only have four points less than Arsenal. They are ready to enter top four in next few weeks if they continue to play well and Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa have bad results in coming weeks.

Table shows under Newcastle United, there are Brighton and Manchester United with 18 points. Brighton don't have stable performance but it is already too good for a small club like them. They are continuing to repeat their success in the last season and can have another successful season with a qualified ticket at the end to join Europa League or Conference League in Europe.

On the other hand, Arsenal lost 5 points in the last three matches and fell behind in the title race. It's been easy for Tottenham to retake the top spot in the table. Tottenham will go top of the table if they beat Chelsea in their next match.

Arsenal can argue that it is an unfair defeat for them but the match ended, result can not be reverted so they have to move on and play more carefully if they really want to compete for a first position. With good forms of Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool, any mistake and points lost can cause big problems for Arsenal in this tough race with other competitors.

[Mr.right85]

Today's match wasn't fine due to how they made the goal decision. I was under the impression that Arsenal either won or drew, and because of self-interest, VAR cheated Arsenal by making a fictitious ruling.

In the initial VAR check for a possible ball outside the line, they act as though they saw nothing. In the second VAR check for a potential foul on Gabriel, the third VAR check for a potential offside, and the entire official team allowed the goal to stand. However, I'd like to know why they didn't let the referee go check on his own?

The refereeing decision was the main talking point yesterday and it’s disingenuous to push it to the background. I have come to the realization that the Premier League officiating won’t change. It will get worse. It’s become a business now and the people that should call it out are all hiding behind microphones. Sometimes I don’t like talking about all these ref/VAR issue. What we are seeing now is Nothing. The shit show has been on for 10+ years at least and it won't stop.

There were so many error scenes from VAR during the game but they somehow managed to overlook them. I don’t know how the VAR officials missed Bruno elbow, how they did not review the foul on Gabriel Magalhaes, but went for an offside is absolute shock, it seems like it was a mission to make Arsenal lose.
Arsenal was really into the game. They were the better side if you ask me. Yes there are things they could have done better attacking wise. But defensively they were on point. I think Arsenal did not lose that game because they did not play well. They lost that game because they were robbed. Simple as ABC.

[bayu7adi]

Chelsea's instability will be tested again by tottenham. Yes, after being embarrassed by Brentford, chelsea faces a tough match in the 11th week. I don't have high hopes because Spurs surely want to snatch the top spot in the standings currently held by Man City. Spurs are still too strong for chelsea, and the likelihood of Tottenham Hotspur winning is very high. Maybe Son will be the central player in tonight's match against Chelsea.

I think the draw between chelsea and Arsenal a few weeks ago wasn't an improvement in Chelsea's performance but an unexpected drop in Arsenal's form, as they also lost to Newcastle. Arsenal's first loss was in the hands of Newcastle, which was a game I didn't predict. This solidifies my decision to bet on Tottenham's victory.

VAR was only giving the keypoint which thing that may possible to be checked but the determination will depend on the VAR operator itself. The operator was making the wrong decision and this is the main problem in VAR. I remember that the match against totenham too. Totenham's goal was not legitimate, but it was allowing it without even checking VAR. VAR is still having so many problems. The problem was not in its tech but it was on its operator. If operator was wrongly taking the wrong decision and that's clear if it will not be changed. Arsenal will still lose even though VAR will try to apologize for their decisions regarding it.

The main problem if any parties have its own agenda. People were starting to take a look at var caused by it was a goal but the different reaction when it was not a goal. People will not care so much with it.
This kind of situation is something common in the football. The dilemma regarding VAR system will still continue.

EPL needs this tech but at the same time this is also a boomeraing for the fairplay of this league.

Spurs are still too strong for chelsea, and the likelihood of Tottenham Hotspur winning is very high. Maybe Son will be the central player in tonight's match against Chelsea.

I predict this match will take place with tight tension. Firstly due to testing Chelsea's instability after getting unsatisfactory results this season. Second, because of Tottenham's desire to return to the top and maintain the positive trend that has not been defeated at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Chelsea once lost with a score of 2-0 at Tottenham's new stadium and Chelsea doesn't want to get the same result again in this match.

I think the draw between chelsea and Arsenal a few weeks ago wasn't an improvement in Chelsea's performance but an unexpected drop in Arsenal's form, as they also lost to Newcastle. Arsenal's first loss was in the hands of Newcastle, which was a game I didn't predict. This solidifies my decision to bet on Tottenham's victory.

I have provided predictions for the results of this two-team London derby match. A draw is the most likely outcome due to several considerations.
Another concern from me is that Chelsea might get a win amidst their unstable performance.
The performance of several Chelsea players such as Palmer and Enzo is what makes me think Chelsea is able to refute the perception that they are not what many people expect.

[knowngunman]

Although Newcastle did not play well at the beginning of the season, this team is in very good form. They have managed to maintain consistency like last season.

Newcastle actually played well and they deserve to win that match despite the controversies about the refree and VAR decision. However, losing once, twice, thrice or even more doesn't stop a club from getting the trophy if they are to get it. Even those who won it before lost games. Arsenal should just remain determined and focused. Almost all clubs have complained about the VAR in one way or the other and it changes nothing. In as much as the referee was wrong in awarding the goal, Arsenal goal keeper is also useless. He could have picked that ball easily because he saw it coming from afar only to fumble. Arteta's selections and poor subsbtitutions also contributed to that Arsenal loss yesterday.

Chelsea's instability will be tested again by tottenham. Yes, after being embarrassed by Brentford, chelsea faces a tough match in the 11th week.

Hey! what date are you having in your calendar? Chelsea and Tottenham match is not today but on Monday night. Until after the match but I don't see Chelsea performing miracle in that match judging from their last performances and current form. Tottenham will surely wants to maintain their unbeaten streak. Chelsea and Tottenham match has been an interesting match to keep eye on but sadly this is not longer the Chelsea that we know.

The image shows it was out of play but we're only looking at it from the angle where the part of the ball touching the ground. I haven't seen a clear image that shows if the other side was completely over the line. I don't think the PL has that level of tech yet to prove without a shadow of a doubt if the ball is in or out. If it's inconclusive then the original call or non-call stands.
