Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[3meek]

I didn't expect Nottingham Forest to score against Aston Villa and lead in the first half... I don't think that Villa will lose, but Nottingham Forest's home statistics are very interesting... The last three games were played in a draw... Perhaps today there will be one more such game...

Mikel Arteta was very upset after Newcastle scored a goal against Arsenal tonight: “Because it’s not a goal, not at all!”.

The referees are having too much influence on the results, and it's completely unnecessary. The Premier League is starting to become something else. In that match, the ball had already gone, and it was even a foul on Gabriel. To be honest, English referees are among the least competent officials.

For people that claim to be the best league in Europe and the world this is becoming very common. VAR was introduced to curb situations like this. It is never fair to lose points like this.  Football has evolved so much that things like this shouldn't be happening in top level but unfortunately, it's still happens.
What's more secret is the frequency with which it happens?
Every week in the epl there must be two or three very bad calls that should be obvious to see without the VAR but it's so sad that even with the VAR they still make the wrong decision.
Another bad thing about the league is that if managers or players speak against these things they will be fined by the FA. This is very poor from the league management.

The match between nottingham forest vs aston villa is still happening now. Forest is leading the game with 1-0 against aston villa. I can't even believe how forst was making fast goal against aston villa. Forest is now fully defensive against aston villa and the club is only doing counter attack once it was getting a chance. Forest needs to secure three points from aston villa but im not sure if this will be last till the end of game. Aston villa is quite strong at this moment. I think that villa will be able to equalize the goal before the end of first half.
Aston villa is leading the game with more ball possessions but it has not yet made even a single goal attempts to the nottingham forest. This is going to be an amazing result if forest will able to beat emery's club.
From what i can see that if villa was always struggling when it faces weak club.

The goal by Newcastle against Arsenal is illegal. I don't know what those VAR referees were doing. This is ridiculous.
There was a foul in attack, committed by the Newcastle player against the Arsenal player, which was close to the Arsenal goalkeeper.
This goal is a joke. This is the second time VAR is failing, after the Liverpool goal against Tottenham, which was unfairly denied.
Maybe VAR should be cancelled. VAR is doing more harm to the football than it goes any good.
Newcastle became a really strong team and they will have big influence in the Premier league, but the fair result of this game was 0-0.

When the game started I was anxious because Arsenal and Newcastle had a drag and am not happy with the way K. Havertz is playing i have never seen a player so low in confidence like him and does not make any serious contribution, look at the amount he was purchased. I don't really want to talk about Newcastle win over Arsenal because either arsenal was cheated or not a win is a win their is no argument about that. And once VAR have decided their nothing more to say so let's see the next club  that will be victim of VAR. I don't think they will cancel VAR because they are not seen anything wrong with it, so to them it is a solution to a problem not knowing that some times that thing is the problem it self. And if it is about the strength of Newcastle they are strong every one knows about that. And are always difficult to play against.

I don't see any irregularities, and or any mistakes that happened for the goal that Newcastle managed to make in the match. So, if Arsenal can't accept the goal, then Arsenal can't accept defeat because after all, the result is a result that has happened and the fact is Arsenal lost. That way, Newcastle managed to give Arsenal their first losing result this season. Also of course, these results at least show, that to be consistent with the winning streak is not easy and again Arsenal experienced this.

The decision has been taken by the referee and it will be useless caused by blaming the referee will not change the situation. Arsenal must have accepted its first lose this season. You must also see the previous case related to the VAR. It's always become a disaster.
It's caused by the referee and operators were always taking the wrong decision regarding the result from their analyzation. It's such a huge mistake being made by the referee and this is not the first time.
I don't know how long the referee will try to repeat the same mistake over and over. Arsenal has become a club that is getting disadvantage at this moment.

Look at so many complaints towards the referee in the previous case but nothing happen. We are only wasting our energy to complaint about that.  Let those fucking referee was continuing to do their jobs.
Im also vedy disappointed but since it was a final decision and i can't reall sure blaming the referee will change the situation.

So many times, the chief match official(referee) have made wrong calls and decisions which the players or team in general have to accept no matter what as it's in his power to make the final decisions. At thesame time we've seen some misinterpretation in the decision from the VAR by the on-field officials, all these make for little game errors which the consequences has too be faced.

 Arsenal were per say victim of circumstances on the part of game errors from the match official and it's cost them their unbeaten race. Their loss wasn't their own making but still the decision which has been made cannot be changed.
Technically, the errors has to be checked by the football association body and also the referees do their best ro avoid such wrong calls repeating itself, in some situations, it may seem as the referee robbing the team off their points which on a normal note is definitely very wrong. Basically, the referees have to check in themselves properly and also try to see that their decisions and that of the VAR aligns or has a soft landing.

He wrote "this season" so there's no point in guessing what he meant. Newcastle is really strong, as are Arsenal, and also Liverpool + Tottenham. The problem is that they take points from each other, which works in City's favor.
As for titles, maybe Arsenal will win the Champions League this year, that possibility exists, plus it would be a really “fresh” event. After all, even City, which won the Champions League for the first time last year, is already completely boring to everyone.

That would be refreshing if Arsenal does at least reach the final. Whether they win it, that remains to be seen but having them in the final would be nice. I still think that having Manchester City in the final would be also nice because they would still have to prove they can defend it. I usually prefer final participants to be from different countries, but if it was Arsenal vs Manchester City, that would definitely be worth watching for many reasons.

Nope   I won't even watch this final because Arsenal's winning percentage against City is too low for me to hope to not be disappointed with the result. In general, it will be good if all the major clubs meet again before the final so that we can see two-legged confrontations, and as for the final, I would be glad to see two underdogs there. But as always, there is a possibility that instead of an interesting finale we will see a fight between the favorite and the underdog.

But I think the last final between Manchester City and Inter Milan was a great one. Like, it wasn't the standard thing like Real Madrid x Manchester City, but a team that many thought would have no chance, but Inter Milan gained more and more traction during the season and reached their peak at the end. I think this was a great final in regards to the participants' names but also to the roles they were given beforehand and then also how the game turned out to be eventually. There was an underdog somehow because everyone thought Manchester City would crush Inter Milan 3-0, but it was a final that I still think was a great show for all fans. And in a final I think Arsenal would have a chance.

Arsenal were a bit unlucky in this match. It goes without saying that Arsenal's performance was poor. Arsenal players try to score. But the performance of Newcastle's defenders was outstanding. They successfully countered every attack from Arsenal's players. And Arsenal were able to launch several powerful and planned attacks. And in the 68th minute, Winger Gordon's goal gave Newcastle the lead. As Arsenal are playing for the title, they should perform more cautiously. If you lose points like this and if there is no consistency in performance, Arsenal will not be able to win the championship.

Even if Manchester United lose a match, I have no regrets if they can show their best performance in that match. Manchester United won against Fulham but Manchester United's performance was not good at all in this match. If Manchester United is compared with Fulham, then I think Manchester United will be much ahead of Fulham.

That's true because wining Fulham doesn't make them any better because there poor performance this season is never like before so actually Fulham was never a club that was supposed to challenge them because even on the premier League table Fulham is still on number 16 due to there poor performance but I was surprised to see that Manchester United was even finding it difficult to win them, perhaps if it was the time Manchester United was in there good performance they would have scored many goals instead of just one they scored so perhaps even there wining doesn't make them any good in performance.

Well let see how Manchester United will perform on there next match against FC Copenhagen although there last meeting was on the favour of Manchester United because of home advantage so let's see how there next will be since they would be playing from away, perhaps I think the match will end draw because there both performance are almost equal.

[Weawant]

Today has seem unlucky for Aston villa as despite all their play they were unable to secure a win from the home they ended with no point the home team Nottingham were able to secure the complete three points at the end of the game today.

Although Aston villa still remains at the fifth position with twenty two point, Nottingham has be able to move to the 12th position with thirteen points , it's indeed a good day for Nottingham despite the fact that they seemed Aston villa played better but they had the points. According to stats, Aston villa led the ball possession and also had more goal attempts than Nottingham but the two halves was won by the home team.

Mauricio Pochettino have another test this season, one thing I'm proud of Chelsea is their formidable shape against elite teams. They stand strong and haven't lost any tough game, perhapes they have record few defeats against mediocre teams. Another test for the Blues on monday, they are facing Tottenham, we all know that they're on streak winnings and Angelos Postecoglou doesn't stood this far to compromise his chances, possibly not now they're among the serious contenders for EPL title. I'm looking forward to see the Blues to be responsible for Tottenham Hotspur first defeats of the season.

A mission that can be said to be very difficult, but it's not an impossible one. Tottenham will definitely be the favorites in this match, but I see that Chelsea still has a chance to steal points from Tottenham as long as they can play without enormous pressure and maintain their composure throughout the match.

The fact that a lot of Manchester United fans are celebrating their narrow win against Fulham yesterday I think tells how much the club has declined in form over the years and how the club fans are now very comfortable with the struggles that the team is currently passing through.
During the days of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, winning games against a team like Fulham was never a problem or a big deal but the club's general poor performances since he left the club in 2013 has got the fans used to being an average English Premier League team. The club management I think has really been poor with their management over the years and doesn't deserve to continue with the club.

If you lose points like this and if there is no consistency in performance, Arsenal will not be able to win the championship.

the referee's performance was indeed unsatisfactory, with moments like Guimaraes seemingly grabbing Jorginho from behind. If the referee had spotted that moment, it would have likely warranted a red card for Guimaraes. However, it turns out VAR wasn't used.

From Newcastle's perspective, they felt aggrieved by the referee's decision to only give Havertz a yellow card. His hard tackle should have resulted in a red card and him being sent off the field. This has sparked a lot of discussion among Newcastle fans.

As mentioned earlier, there was another controversy regarding Gordon's goal, which was highly questionable. The FA should evaluate the referee's performance. There should be an improvement in the quality of referees in a top-tier league like the EPL. Fair matches always capture more attention than those with questionable officiating or perhaps filled with referee errors. The role of referees in a match is indeed crucial.

I didn't expect Nottingham Forest to score against Aston Villa and lead in the first half... I don't think that Villa will lose, but Nottingham Forest's home statistics are very interesting... The last three games were played in a draw... Perhaps today there will be one more such game...

Aston Villa now has to be held back because it cannot overtake Arsenal who lost yesterday, it's bad to think Aston Villa will not lose because we know that Aston Villa's game is quite good but Nottingham Forest is able to break and win at home.

Next match Luton vs Liverpool. We can guess here Liverpool will definitely win even though the match always has surprises like Aston Villa but in terms of the game then Liverpool is very far from Luton so this should be an easy match to take over Arsenal's position above it.

So far only one team has not lost Tottenham, will Chelsea surprise the elite team sometimes we like to be curious when Chelsea plays with the elite team will show its game.

Newcastle were organized both in terms of defense and attack. Arsenal is a pretty good side who over the year has improved tremendously, sharing one point a piece with Newcastle would have been a great fight and what’s best for the game, but the defense was too strong for Arsenal to even get a draw and share the point.

The goal which seems controversial buh was still was awarded by VAR though. That controversial goal put the L in Arsenal’s run of form, Mikel Arteta has to accept the defeat of yesterday, improve the team’s depth and try to make the team more quick and creative in attack. They’re a pretty good and young side that can pose challenges this season, Let’s watch out for them cause I believe they're not yet left out of the title race, they'll be facing Sevilla during the week so they need to focus and prepare for that, however their next EPL game is an easy one against Burnley.

Impossible to rolling back the score with the mistake being made by the referee. I dunno what's wrong with the referee these days. It seems to me that they can't even take decision making. The decision being determine by the var operator.
It's not only arsenal but there have been some clubs were also facing the same problem like what arsenal did. It looks so stupid to see the referee keeps repeat the same mistake again.
There must be double check by the referee but it seems like that referee has his own agenda but since that's the final decision and it can be disrupted.
The fans can only blame the referee but this is not impacting the result.

Mostly fans will not accept to able this serious mistake by the referee but they have been forced to accept it. It seems like that there's no justice.

Slowly but surely West Ham is starting to decline, it could even be said to be far down compared to the beginning of the season, three consecutive defeats and in five matches only producing four points is a bad thing and losing to Everton in the previous week and happening at home is the most strange, given the conditions. It is very possible that their ranking will drop further and it is quite unfortunate that they performed well but were unable to maintain their performance.

With the bad luck experienced by Arsenal against Newcastle, it will be very profitable for Liverpool who compete against Luton, and Liverpool should use this opportunity to score lots of goals, even though they are playing at home, but I am quite sure that Luton will face difficulties in facing attacks from Liverpool.

[Chilwell]

Although Manchester United won this match, we have
Manchester United won against Fulham but Manchester United's performance against Fulham was not good at all but we have to accept that Manchester United finally managed to win a match. They badly needed this win against Fulham.

Ten Hag was very happy yesterday and also all the players are so excited, Bruno Fernando's as clear the doubt of many like David de Gea who had never appreciated the fact that Bruno Fernando's his fit to be captain even has yesterday victory that was lead by Bruno Fernando's but I will consider that as personal issue between the two players. But to me what he did is what others are expected of him and he as done it. Fulham had never have any winning record against Manchester United which I feel excited for them as they still maintain unbeaten records, Ten Hag will have a breathing space to prepare for their next match which I believe they will go with motivation of winning because winning Fulham will give them more confidence to win the next match.

A lot of gamblers lost  their money in this match. Everyone expected Arsenal to win this match and take the top spot in the points table. But Arsenal missed  the chance. Arsenal's  players tried a lot to  score. But  they couldn't break  Newcastle's defence. Newcastle team  also beat Manchester United team 3-0 in their last match. The team also performed well against Arsenal. This season too, Newcastle will probably continue to fight to stay in the top four of the points table. We have seen great performances from Newcastle players in the last few matches. The players are very confident now.

Newcastle United are also strong team now, they have bring to the end of Arsenal unbeaten record now Premier league are left with only one unbeaten team which is Tottenham Hotspur and I much believe that the will fight hard to maintain the standard, arsenal lost yesterday is a big disaster for them because it have bring them back to fourth place in the table if Liverpool win or draw and am much confidence that Liverpool will win the match due to their current form, now Arsenal are to battle for the top four to qualify for the Champions league next season because if Liverpool end up winning then is left for them to start struggling for the position.

[Woodie]

What a weekend of games that has produced some unforeseen results...

Sheffield finally wins a game.. thought wolves would have won this one  

Newcastle after being outperformed by Arsenal manage to win the match with a controversial goal.

Nottingham forest beats an in form Aston villa with a convincing scoreline...

Such results show how unpredictable the premier League can be..

Today has seem unlucky for Aston villa as despite all their play they were unable to secure a win from the home they ended with no point the home team Nottingham were able to secure the complete three points at the end of the game today.

Although Aston villa still remains at the fifth position with twenty two point, Nottingham has be able to move to the 12th position with thirteen points , it's indeed a good day for Nottingham despite the fact that they seemed Aston villa played better but they had the points. According to stats, Aston villa led the ball possession and also had more goal attempts than Nottingham but the two halves was won by the home team.

With bookies putting Aston Villa as the favorites of the game with an odd of 1.86 for them, no one expected that turnaround and a quick goal from Ola Aina in the 5th min, it seemed a bleak day for Unai Emery and his men. Truly, in terms of possession and shots, Aston had the upper hand and even until the end they tried to see if they could gain a goal to cancel Nottingham's clean sheet, but it ended up being fruitless. This goes to show that football can be really unpredictable at times.
 With this win, it will boost Nottingham's morale because for one they managed to secure three points at home and also blocked the chances of Aston Villa thrashing them as the visitors are known to do with other clubs. Atleast they (Forest) have paused Aston from climbing 4th had they won. To me  I just see this as a highlight, because the game most football lovers are anticipating now is Tottenham Chelsea game tomorrow as that would decide if Man City will claim the 1st spot or will drop.
