Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Chelsea often plays well against big teams, where they managed to draw against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City, and managed to win against Tottenham. However, I think their performance has not been consistent so far, because they often lose points when playing against teams they should be able to beat. This is a task that Pochettino must immediately address because it is the only way for Chelsea to get back on its feet.

Chelsea's performance really depends on who they play against. To be honest, I felt a bit strange that Chelsea performed so well when forcing Manchester City to a draw at Stamford Bridge yesterday, while they dropped so many points in a relatively easier match.Of course Chelsea are experiencing an improvement in performance recently even though they are not actually considered consistent.

Chelsea are still struggling to improve their performance and player confidence, but I think they are on a good track after successfully holding Manchester City to a draw and beating Tottenham. The next games are against Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United, so many people will question their consistency especially because there are 9 games waiting for them until the end of the year.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Newcastle United and Manchester United are also having chance for the better results even these both are not consistent, but their strategy is also working for them to stay into hunt we have good performance from the Tottenham and Aston Villa which are other challenges for the Chelsea with this all not sure how can they jump into top four as three spots are already filled with top three giants.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are looking good this season and I expect them to finish in the top 4 positions. For Tottenham Hotspur they were doing quite good too except for the last two games where they lost 6 points, so finishing in top 4 is also high. Aston Villa until now looks good and together with Manchester United and Newcastle United should secure the european competitions spots.
Chelsea attracted some attention with their resistance vs gunners then Manchester City and the victory against Tottenham Hotspur. Nevertheless, they will have hard games next vs Newcastle then Brighton then Manchester United so they might not advance much in the ranking.

Outcome of games involving Chelsea are or always end up with a very surprising results, so, going with this, i would not immediately conclude that they have difficult games to play in the coming weeks, for we don't know how prepared they are, they may just end up giving us another surprises in all of these games.

Think about this.
Chelsea played against Arsenal and held them to a draw,
They played against Tottenham and beat them by 4 goals to 1.
They played against Manchester city yesterday and held Manchester city to a draw.

This clubs i mention aside from Chelsea are the top 3 clubs according to premier league standing/table.

What does this tell us, i personally think Chelsea is improving in their game play by the day, and they may likely defeat all those clubs you mentioned, or possibly hold them to a draw as well.

  

[Docnaster]

Chelsea players where outstanding, Manchester United players don't have this charisma that was displayed by Chelsea players, even at the die minute when it seemed all hope's where lost, they where still persisting to get something out of the game, it was would have gone in the favour of Chelsea though, because they missed a lot of chances.
With the way Jackson and sterling where mesmerizing the defence line of Manchester city, it was obvious city doesn't have its defence uptight, more like they have, good midfielders and strikers but not too much of a solid defence.

This was quite a tense match for both teams and previous predictions that Manchester City were favorites disappeared after Chelsea's players played extraordinary and it was very clear how Mouricio Pochettino succeeded in implementing a strategy to reduce Manchester City's game which controlled the game. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen Chelsea play so solidly and they didn't waste time holding the ball. Sterling and Gallagher are two key players who were able to provide positive results in this match.

Manchester City also played quite well in this match, but their defense was less solid because there were several mistakes made which allowed Chelsea to score a goal. The draw achieved by Manchester City made Liverpool and Arsenal quite profitable because currently they are only one point away from Manchester City at the top of the standings, while Tottenham dropped to fourth position after suffering two consecutive defeats.

The performance from both teams in the English Premier League game between Chelsea and Manchester City yesterday is the reason why the league is regarded as the best, strongest and most interesting league in the world. It was an action packed game between a Chelsea side that's tryna improve from what their performance of last season against a Manchester City side that's gunning for the fourth consecutive league title.
Chelsea from all indications have really improved since the new manager Mauricio Pochettino took over as the manager of the club. City on the other hand has also improved after they suffered two League defeats in a row this season. Currently they're at the top of the league with point difference against second placed Liverpool

[Webetcoins]

Liverpool were finally able to win against Brentford, the game finished 3 to nil in favor of Liverpool. Brace from Salah and a late goal from Jota helped the team come out successful against a Brentford team who seemed really tough in the first half. Interesting game it was , Liverpool are showing good improvement compared to last season, If they can maintain this level they might also contend for the league title.

Finally Liverpool returned to their original position where they could compete again in the Premier League with the recovery of all their players playing very competitively to be able to maintain balance in the game so that for the victory from Brendford Liverpool are now one point adrift of Man City, while this match will continue in the next two weeks to see who will win.

Now Liverpool is on the right track, they have managed to give competition to Manchester City in the title race by one point. This season's Premier League competition is increasingly competitive, Manchester City, who is in first place, is not completely safe because the difference in points with Liverpool or the teams below is very thin. It is possible that changes in position in the standings list will still occur because there are so many matches yet to be played, Liverpool could take over Manchester City's position if they continue to appear consistently throughout this season.

Liverpool is surely currently at their best with having very impressive performance, but they still need to work on their away performance in last three away matches they are having just two points which is surely matter of worry about the Jürgen Klopp and his players now they are going to face one of the best team in Premier League and this will decide how things will be gone for them in coming days as well because if they want to win title they have to pass through this match with positive result otherwise things can go wrong for them as well.

They are having one off the best attack with good defense which is allowing them to stay at the good level, but now things are surely not easy against Haaland and company in coming match at the Etihad hopefully they will clear this test for the top spot until new year.

[Belarge]

Permits me to say this, Chelsea vs Manchester City is the best game I've watched so far this season, they kept the fans on suspense, none of us knows the actions that would happen next, both first and second half was tied to draw. I'm now confident of the Blues, they're capable of hitting to new heights if they maintain consistency in league games. When it comes to elite teams, Chelsea have wonderful performance and they're extremely having excellent results this season. In some weeks, we will be expecting the return of Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia. They're both important member of Chelsea squad and aiming for heighten levels this season.

[Velvet78]

Tottenham continue to surprise us. First the huge loss against Chelsea after being shown 2 red cards and now this loss against Wolves... I really don't know how they managed to lose this game honestly. It was like an epic ending for Wolves side for certain. Because both goals came in the stoppage time and the winning goal was even in the last moments.

Maddison and Richarlison both weren't able to play due to injuries. This was a big hit to Tottenham of course. But I still believed in their impressive team effort in general of the season so far. But we couldn't see that here at all. If they managed to keep that 1-0 advantage to the end then I would have called it a lucky win honestly. 

[yudi09]

Liverpool is surely currently at their best with having very impressive performance, but they still need to work on their away performance in last three away matches they are having just two points which is surely matter of worry about the Jürgen Klopp and his players now they are going to face one of the best team in Premier League and this will decide how things will be gone for them in coming days as well because if they want to win title they have to pass through this match with positive result otherwise things can go wrong for them as well.

Liverpool's performance has not lost its slightly more modern characteristics.
Our away performance is still good even though we only got two points from three matches. Our one away game was marred at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Of the six away matches, the results did not disappoint. We were able to win 2, draw 3 and lose 1. We were also able to score 10 goals in those six matches.

Coming to the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City, we believe the Red can perform as desired. Jurgen Klopp definitely has a strategy to face the team coached by Pep Guardiola.

It must be admitted that when a team loses 2 to 4 of its main players in one match, most of them will not play as well as expected. Tottenham lost at least 4 important players due to injury and suspension, so it's make sense that we don't see them playing like before.

Another surprise was the big match between Chelsea and Manchester City. I didn't expect Chelsea to be able to play like a final. Their defense wasn't that great in terms of the number of goals conceded, but from the way they ended the game I think they deserve a round of applause. I didn't found Chelsea as good as yesterday apart from against Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City.

Tottenham are starting to struggle again. they had improved but losing to Chelsea and Wolves was not a good result for Tottenham.
Tottenham must reduce costly mistakes. That's because now MU is getting a few points. Now the one experiencing a decline is Newcastle, who has dropped to 7th place in the standings.
It looks like this season will still be dominated by Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

[Queentoshi]

Coming to the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City, we believe the Red can perform as desired. Jurgen Klopp definitely has a strategy to face the team coached by Pep Guardiola.

Liverpool Klopp is one coach that has always been able to match and give trouble to Pep, even when Manchester City were unwinnable from last season, Klopp still gave them a hard time. Liverpool plays very well now; it will not be easy for Manchester City to have the advantage over them even though they will be playing at home. I think it will end in a loss for Manchester City or they draw the game too like they did against Chelsea. After Liverpool game, Manchester City will play against Tottenham, the luck that Manchester City will have is that some of the key players from Tottenham that contributes to their swift attack will not be available for that game.

One thing you need to understand in football is that no matter how strong or in-form a club is, there are some certain club that they always finds it difficult to win or even if they are to win them it will be a narrow win.

 Wolverhampton wanderers may seen as though they ain't visible in the league but check out since they were promoted to the premier league in 2018 most of the big clubs finds it very difficult to win wolves and if we take a look at the match they won Manchester city 2:1 you will understand that this club is good and within some time they might start being visible in the league and competing with the bigger clubs.

Though the injuries woes that Tottenham suffered also contributed to their current drop in form but that shouldn't be a prerequisite to undermine the opponent they faced as their opponent were tactical and played good football in other to win Tottenham.

8 goals in two games. You would not see that happen since last season till pochettino is coming here but he obviously takes time. Chelsea is starting to cook now. I do know that the day when chelsea will able to rebuild the club will happen again.
Anything needs process and we can't even get instant result. Chelsea is still a young squad but it has bright future as the squad can last for many many years to go.

I do appreciate the performance from chelsea against manchester city. The game is having very fast tempo. I can't even belive that 10th team would be performing so good like that but yeah chealse is chelsea.
Chelsea will never be other club.

Manchester city needs to learn a lot from the match against chelsea. Palmer is also cooking. Some players being called up to join in the national teams after that match.

I think it will end in a loss for Manchester City or they draw the game too like they did against Chelsea.

Starting from the 2022 Community Shield, we have a good record against Manchester City. In the last two matches against Manchester City at their Stadium in the EFL Cup and Premier League, we lost. At this meeting, maybe as you said, Liverpool can get points at the Etihad because Liverpool's preparations for the match against Manchester City in general in the competition for the title for the 2023/2024 season are very ready. It doesn't matter if the result is a draw.

They did not have a fast start they suffered and lost some matches they should have won. They will also win more games when players on injury returns back to join Chelsea. For Chelsea to take points when facing Tottenham, Arsenal and Man city has boosted the confidence in the players. Sterling and Palmer are both former players from City they scored and refused to celebrate against City fans they have huge respect for the club. After the break they will make sure to win more games before December ends theybwill make it to the clubs who can remain in the top of the league.

[EarnOnVictor]

Chelsea are really showcasing some good results in this season by defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 who was the most toping team in the premier league, and have a good draw with Arsenal and Manchester city that made people to respect Chelsea manager for the good impact he has impacted his players in this season. Manchester city was leading the match in the first half before Chelsea came to equalized the goal in the 28th minutes that made me to believe that this match will not going to be easy match for Manchester city, because they are still missing De Bruyne for some matches now and it has caused them to reduced little performance. If Liverpool can display what they are displaying now to moved to second position in the premier league table, show that Arsenal will fail for Liverpool to embrace victory from the match that will make them to maintain the second position in this season.

Chelsea seem to have improved greatly, recently their performance and results are really impressive as compared to how they started the league earlier this season were they were having so much of inconsistency and we're loosing matching and appeared in a poor form.

Pochettino has once again proven thy all he need was just time and he would achieve much with Chelsea. With their recent performance we can say even if they don't eventually win the league title they will be able to qualify for UCL next seasons by finishing amongst the top four if only they can be consistent with their performance, Liverpool is one team Chelsea is yet to meet this season, hopefully whenever they actually meet they still put up a good performance because Liverpool has recently been really good in the premier league tho have Lost some matches

Chelsea scored 8 goals in 4 days and in general before this match there were also good series of wins and draws and in general it was clear that the club is on the road to recovery, just yesterday it became obvious to everyone.

Chelsea showed character and that's the most important thing, you can see that the players are trying to play their best and have already forgotten the nightmare last season, which can not but please Chelsea fans. If Pochettino is given a quiet season at the club, I think Chelsea will get a place closer to the top three. I think that 4-5th place in the EPL will be quite a good achievement now and qualifying for the European Cup can revitalize the team.

I couldn't possibly close my mouth while reading the huge praises showered on Chelsea, oh my God, this is much...lol. Do you think they really deserve all these? The last season is even far, this season, they've played so shamefully in the wake of it before the recent feat that looks like a recovery. This is not different from the clubs that are in form but had their downtime at times, Chelsea might be having their uptime now, but can they really sustain this? That's the question.

As much as I wish Chelsea and their fans well, I believe it's still very early to believe they can do so spectacularly to the point of giving them 4-5th. The clubs they played at this supposed recovery time are to be put into consideration as well. But I certainly must give them a big kudos for drawing Man City, no one could have thought Man City would not beat Chelsea blue and black yesterday, it's a great draw for them. But I need more months of playing and assessments to ascertain if Chelsea has really come out of the woods, which is why I'm still neutral about them despite their recent improvements.

Besides, those clubs ahead of them will be difficult to displace except the like of West Ham, they've relaxed too much, so maintaining the 4-5th position will be a huge task for them if others wouldn't relax.

[marcous]

Tottenham are starting to struggle again. they had improved but losing to Chelsea and Wolves was not a good result for Tottenham.
Tottenham must reduce costly mistakes. That's because now MU is getting a few points. Now the one experiencing a decline is Newcastle, who has dropped to 7th place in the standings.
It looks like this season will still be dominated by Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Actually if we look at Tottenham, it is on a par with the 3 clubs you mentioned, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Ange squad has only lost twice to their opponents so far, just like Pep Guardiola squad has lost twice in the EPL, one of which was also against Wolves. Currently the difference in points is quite thin, so it is very possible that in the coming weeks the standings will continue to change. Ange really understands that they have to be consistent to get points, if they want to have Favorite team status, but their luck seems to have run out in their previous two matches. It could be that they will have the opportunity to reclaim the standings after the international break, because Man City will face Liverpool. Of course this is an advantage for Tottenham, if the two clubs draw.

[TelolettOm]

Yes, to be honest, I was also a bit surprised to see the results obtained by Chelsea with an amazing draw when they hosted Manchester City. Indeed, many people underestimated Chelsea in this match (including me) but it turns out that Chelsea was able to give their best performance even though they didn't manage to beat Manchester City, but at least the result A draw isn't too bad for Chelsea.
It seems that Pochettino is now slowly being able to build the performance of Chelsea players to continue improving their performance against top clubs this season.

Not only you, most people must be surprised with Chelsea. No one expects that Chelsea will make Man City to play a bit defensive. Chelsea played more offensively that Man City, Chelsea players tried to give a pressure for Man City players to stay in their area. Pochettino makes Chelsea to play very convincing, they play with a big confidence and they never feel afraid with big teams in EPL.

and in the next match Chelsea will playing an away match against Newcastle, this will be quite an interesting matches because Chelsea is in high self-confidence and what is certain is that Newcastle will not give Chelsea a chances to winning the match and of course Newcastle will take advantage of their advantage as the home team.

I think Chelsea has a chance to win the match. Newcastle didn't play very well in the last few matches. Meanwhile Chelsea looks playing very confident in the last few matches. if we consider their current performance, Chelsea looks to have a higher chance to win against Newcastle. 

[Cookdata]

Chelsea often plays well against big teams, where they managed to draw against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City, and managed to win against Tottenham. However, I think their performance has not been consistent so far, because they often lose points when playing against teams they should be able to beat. This is a task that Pochettino must immediately address because it is the only way for Chelsea to get back on its feet.

I'm have forgiven Chelsea for having loss consistently because yesterday game was very long since I have watch something like that from the blues. It's not about having draw with Manchester City, it's about how serious they were hitting back and putting pressure on Manchester City, even when they were conceding, they regained back on the lane so fast in equalizing every goals, I'm not sure if Manchester City has even face a tough opponent in home match like Chelsea this season.

What is expected from Pochettino as from now is nothing but anything more than yesterday performance, imagine if they have been pulling goals like this, lord knows where they will have been by now in the standing. They have bear Tottenham with advantage of red cards, beat Arsenal on natural ground to equalized and lastly beat Manchester, then the rest of the team should be a holiday to move up in ranking.

Yes, Chelsea can get that if they succeed in maintaining a positive trend in the last few matches because if they lose control of it, it will definitely be difficult for Chelsea to break into the top 4 positions. Their mentality was tested in the match against Manchester City and even though it ended in a draw, when there is a team that can match Manchester City's best performance then that team deserves a plus point. I had doubts about the young squad that Chelsea has built, but when these young players are in the right hands, I think Chelsea can do better in the future. Pochettino is the right coach to do this job and if he succeeds in helping Chelsea get a place in one of the European competitions then Todd Boehly will definitely extend his contract.

Let's hope they don't behave as usual because when a team received too much love from fans, they misbehave so much but if indeed what they played yesterday was really effort of Pochettino and the players, I doubt if there is need for more midfielders he is always complaining about, he should utilize these players till January, he will see a reason not to sign any players again and will do better before that transfer period.

[ShowOff]

Chelsea players where outstanding, Manchester United players don't have this charisma that was displayed by Chelsea players, even at the die minute when it seemed all hope's where lost, they where still persisting to get something out of the game, it was would have gone in the favour of Chelsea though, because they missed a lot of chances.

The draw achieved by Manchester City made Liverpool and Arsenal quite profitable because currently they are only one point away from Manchester City at the top of the standings, while Tottenham dropped to fourth position after suffering two consecutive defeats.

Manchester City's biggest disappointment in the away match against Chelsea was that they failed to maintain their 3-4 lead in injury time. Ruben Diaz was forced to commit a foul to prevent Armando Broja from firing a shot towards goal, but this was detrimental to his own team because his tackle resulted in a penalty for Chelsea. It was painful to see Manchester City being broken into by two of its former players even though both of them felt uncomfortable celebrating.

I agree that Manchester City's defense looked chaotic in that game. They found it difficult to stop Chelsea's many goal attempts even though Ederson Moraes made many saves. I also feel it was one of the best matches this week or this month or perhaps so far this season. But the most pleasing thing is that Manchester City is still leading the standings, even though they failed to win against a team that is inconsistent with its performance.

Do not put blame on Diaz he was trying his best to clear the ball with that glide on the ball which he did the contact was only too obvious to be avoided by Anthony Taylor. Anthony Taylor did well during that game even if chelsea fans are not in support of most decisions he made yesterday. Chelsea coach was approaching him for killing the game when chelsea had a counter attack going to cities goal post.
The goal from Jackson and the penalty all came through the midfield they failed to hold City who attacked dangerous city well.  James also held  Dolu down in his hands.
