Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Smartvirus]

It's Scott McTominay again.

How on earth is Scott McTominay, Manchester United's top scorer in all matches, yet he is a defensive midfielder? Is he granted a free role, kind of play? Getting inspiration from Jude bellingham?
Most importantly, where on earth are all the other Manchester United's attacking players?

Chelsea are in so much disarray in this game, they only manage to get anything right by chance. Nothing is perfected on their side, it’s just been mistakes after mistakes. Like what am I watching… it doesn’t even look like a team, of course they are not a team but with this, I don’t believe they even train together! Little wonder why Palmer chose to go solo on his goal. Should he had opted for a pass, I’m sure it would have been another ball in the wind.
They make  Manchester United look like a good team which they are obviously not but in this game, they’ve just kept a strong hold of Chelsea.

Aston Villa is beating the mighty Manchester City,,, Martinez will be having a good joke on them after this game if they don’t come up with an Equalizer. I know City is good at coming up with some shocking come back but, it doesn’t seem like it with Aston Villa tonight.

[adultcrypto]

It's unbelievable that Chelsea equalise in the first half, whereas Manchester United would have score two goals assuming the penalty kick was scored but Manchester United lose the penalty to Chelsea, even the Chelsea had penalty to Manchester inside eighteen but the referee couldn't notice that earlier, I will say it has not be notice earlier is because the last man device was faulty and they couldn't detect it easily, so Chelsea equalise the match unexpectedly because Chelsea have missed almost two chances and the third attempt Cole Palmer scored the goal, I believe that this will end 2:1 or draw, but Manchester United is seen to defeat the match because their pressure is much to Chelsea, the first half ended 1:1

It is 1-1 draw. Both teams are of the same category as there was so many mistake and opportunities that were not converted into a goal. It is good that the game is on draw because any club that don't take the match serious will lose to the opposite side. I think that this match will end in a draw from my own observation, this is because Chelsea and Manchester united are playing the same pattern of football and both of them are not that strong this season.

At this point it is safe to say that the Red Devils have had their way against the Blues with the 69th minutes goal from Scott McTominay to make it  2:1. This match was actually very difficult to predict as many people had already commented because the match could have gone either ways.

If this match end this way, Manchester United will have the same point with Tottenham and dragging the 5th position for the Europa league next season.

Manchester united have scored their second goal, i hope they will be able to maintain the current lead and I am sure Manchester United will do everything possible to maintain it. We are just a few minutes away from the end of the match. What Manchester United will do is just hold their defense tight. I didn't see anything special in Chelsea's performance in the match. Before the match started, I was thinking Chelsea would be able to win the match, but things didn't go well for Chelsea in the match. Since we are only a few minutes away, let's see how the two teams are going to play. Maybe Chelsea will be able to score an equalizing goal before the final whistle is blown.

I really have interest in this game because l want to observe CHRIS Wilder in his first game as the new manager of Sheffield Utd, although is too early to decide on what he can offer, because he came when club is in total mess, I noticed an improvement against Liverpool, Liverpool is one of top four club in the table and they are able to withstand the pressure mounting on them by Liverpool compared with the strong club played before and also control the limited concede  goal.

Liverpool was a serious test for the new manager of Sheffield. Liverpool is very serious with every game they play; they want to be in the Champions league next season. Manchester City are losing currently by a goal to Aston Villa, and if this game ends like this, Manchester City will be pushed to fourth on the premier league table which will be a position that they never dropped to last season. Manchester City will not find it easy to defend their title as their manager expressed confidence that they would in the interview he had.

Well, finally Manchester United scored the second goal and won the match, McTominay deserves to be man of the match today after scoring 2 goals. On Chelsea side, this defeat will confirm Chelsea status as an unstable team where in each of the last 5 matches they will experience a win, draw and loss but yeah overall it's not bad because the one who beat them was another strong team starting with Newcastle and Manchester United today.

In another match, Aston Villa actually beat Manchester City even though previously we hoped that the two teams would play a draw and Liverpool and Arsenal clearly took advantage of Manchester City defeat they continued to leave Man City behind, Aston Villa unexpectedly managed to take 3rd place even though we know it's only temporary.

After Scott Mc tominay scored in international duties for his country Scotland against Gorgia he was discovered and brought to Manchester United though he has not been a regular starter for United but he's been playing a free role since Erick became in charge at United and yes I think Tominay has gotten more inspiration from Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid since the Young star has been so brilliant for Madrid so right now I think Tominay is hot and he deserves to been given more playing time in the Manchester United team.

[Richbased]

It would be quite painful that after all the nice play from Aston Villa Manchester City will eventually win the match. However, all thanks to Leon Bailey for scoring at the 74th minute of the game. It is obvious that Manchester City will loss to Aston Villa. This is because they have some players who are on suspension and they are not available in todays game and also it has affected the team so very match. The absence of Rodri, Doku and Grealish is really felt in the game.

Truly Villa is a playing a decent game and i wish them success in winning the game because they deserve with today.

And at last Aston villa sealed the win what a laudable performance from the Villa side like who could have believed that Aston villa could win an inform Manchester city in this game, there one thing about football, when a team that's topping the table lose out to another team and the team occupy the top of the table it is real difficult for the initial team to gain back the top position so that's exactly what's happening to Manchester city now like for them to lose the top spot to Arsenal killed their morale hence their inability to play better unlike when they were topping the league and doing better.

Liverpool was a serious test for the new manager of Sheffield. Liverpool is very serious with every game they play; they want to be in the Champions league next season.

‘We will win it again’: Pep Guardiola

Liverpool can never afford to lose such match and they delivered well and moved up to be just two points behind Arsenal, and gave Manchester City complete four points. This match was a test for Sheffield United’s new manager, he tried but unfortunately he is playing with a world class team that’s why he lose.

Manchester City lose another match today, they are now six points behind Arsenal and four points behind Liverpool, and their manager Pep is already making mouth that his team still remains the best in the league and they will
Win the league which to me I think is a mind game, unfortunately his team lost to Aston Villa as expected by Arsenal fans and others.

Manchester United also won their home game against the blues Chelsea.

[Majestic-milf]

 I never doubted the capability of Unai Emery's Aston Villa but I least expected them to beat the Citizens.. and to think that they literally called all the shots to the point that Man City lost control of what they were doing and were forced to defend.
I said it one of my posts that if Man City could find it difficult to beat a club that's struggling like Tottenham Hotspur and instead settled for a draw, what will be the case for Aston Villa who are very fit and this is the result.
 Again, this game has proven that Haaland is not a big game player else we should have seen his impact on the field! I still don't understand why Jeremy Doku didn't play because we've known the Belgian to be a good creator of goals and also tried to get some for himself too.
I really need to commend Aston Villa confidence and resilience because playing a team like Man City should make any team nervous but they made quick work of Pep's men, making them look like untried school boys.
 This win has seen them move above Man City to sit third on the table behind Liverpool and Arsenal and I must say the league has just got more competitive.

Goals are scored due to the chances that are created but we just have to take everything slowly. It's our fault our team lost to the Red Devils at Old Trafford, and I'm hoping they bounce back to good form in second leg. I don't have much to talk about concerning the match. My favorite club, Chelsea didn't play up to expectations, they couldn't contend the game and recording numerous inaccuracy in passes, I'm highly dissapointed in these players, couldn't meet up the standards of the match full-time. The match comes to an end, Manchester United 2 and Chelsea 1.

What a performance by Aston Villa. This is on for the history books. They were excellent. Aston Villa knew exactly what they wanted and they executed it to perfection. It's one thing to win Manchester City, it's a whole different game to outplay Manchester City.

I lost my bet because I expected the game to have at least 3 goals but the game was too tight. When Aston Villa scored, I got confident a little because I was sure Manchester City would score too, and from there, more goals would come. Little did I know that Aston Villa had something else planned.
Playing Man City in this manner is a very big morale buster. They'll be very confident going forward now because they will believe they can win anybody in the league.

McTominay with an excellent goal he  managed to save his team from a draw, Manchester united as an unstable team this season including Chelsea, today's win doesn't guarantee a come back so we should not hope let's just be happy for Manchester united, the shame is just too much so they have proven themselves once again, Manchester united had many chance to score goal but I don't know what really happened.

What's really wrong with the city boys I don't seem to understand the issue with them, I thought city will definitely come with full force but no I predicted wrongly and am disappointed, let's no judge yet Aston might maintain the position for long.

Chelsea that was able to draw Manchester City was unable to put in their best performance in the game by allowing Manchester City to win them even with all the opportunities that, Manchester United missed. Manchester United was supposed to score more than two goals in the match but they Sanchez stopped most of their balls. Chelsea should be glad that they got a goalkeeper that was able to prevent them from Conceiving more goals.

McTominay was the man that was able to score the two goals in the match for Manchester United to give them the victory tonight. He is the man of the match because other players had good opportunity of scoring, but they couldn't. Manchester United is now 6th on the table and they are three points behind Manchester City who is the defending champion.

[Coyster]

Another home win for Aston Villa in the EPL, that is 14 consecutive home wins for Aston Villa in the Premier League, unbelievable feat. Aston Villa fans are currently living the dream, they are third in the Premier League and playing fantastic football, if they continue playing like this, then they could even finish in the top four.

As for Manchester City, that is 4 games without a win, 3 draws and one loss, and they definitely didn't play like champions tonight, Villa were by far the better team and they deserved to win. City have failed to win a game this season when Rodri was unavailable, it is clear that City cannot do without him, and i can only imagine a scenario where Rodri gets injured, that is disaster for City, i really think they need to go into the market and buy a few players in January.

This match was a test for Sheffield United’s new manager, he tried but unfortunately he is playing with a world class team that’s why he lose.

It should be an easy game against Sheffield United, they are the weakest team in EPL. I even think there should be more than 2 goals. But winning the game with 2 goals, makes Liverpool to stay in 2nd place at least. I don't know why Liverpool attackers seem difficult to score goals in this match. They didn't play against a strong team, it is Sheffield United.

For the new manager of Sheffield United, I think he already tried his best in this match.

Manchester City lose another match today, they are now six points behind Arsenal and four points behind Liverpool, and their manager Pep is already making mouth that his team still remains the best in the league and they will
Win the league which to me I think is a mind game, unfortunately his team lost to Aston Villa as expected by Arsenal fans and others.

It is interesting to see the stats of Man City in the last 4 matches. They never won a single match in the last 4 matches. There is something wrong with Man City players, do they lose their motivation to win EPL trophy this season? Even worse in the match against Aston Villa, they only made 2 shot attempts. To be honest, it is shameful. How can Man City play like a mediocre team? Pep Guardiola must do something to return the performance of Man City.

Manchester United also won their home game against the blues Chelsea.

The won the match with a great performance. I saw they made 28 shot attempts, means they play very offensively. Ten Hag seems to change a bit his tactic. He also put Rashford in the bench.

[Leviathan.007]

Everyone is talking about how Arsenal barely got away with a win, but if they somehow magically end up winners of the season, then nobody will remember this game, nobody would even question it. I do not know if something is going on behind the closed doors, but refs ended up preventing City to win the game on the last seconds, they ended up making them lose, and then they gave Arsenal extra time and making them win. I think if someone provided me a proof of refs or some betting mafia making sure that Arsenal gets the title this year, I wouldn't be shocked with that.

The whole world is expecting City to win, and I think if Arsenal wins then a lot of sportsbooks will make a lot of profit as well, so that could be one reason. I am not saying there is bribery or anything going on, all I am saying is that if something like that was provided as a proof to me, I would not be shocked to learn that, I already assume that's what's going on as of right now anyway.

I was not expecting to see this good performance from Luton in the game they had against Luton but the game was amazing and we saw seven goals in this match in which Arsenal won the game with a 4-3 result against Luton. Manchester City was hoping to see Luton win this match or at least they get a draw against Arsenal and give other teams like Tottenham and Manchester City more chances but Areta is not going to give up easily.

That Penalty was poorly taken by Bruno Fernandez otherwise, it'll would've been three goals to one tonight for Manchester United. There'll still room for improvements as I'm not excited. Good game but going harder and better against Bournemouth in couple days time.

Chelsea shared points with Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool won Tottenham Hotspur but couldn't win a declined Manchester United? Wonderful. Since 2018, Chelsea has failed to win against Manchester United anyways. Props to Manchester United team, they worked as a team today. ( Kinda enjoyed Amrabat and Antony tonight )

Can Manchester City win the league? Citizens noe maintaining fourth position on the Premier League table.

For the first time in Unai Emery's career, his team has successfully beaten a team that's coached by Pep Guardiola and his reaction after the final whistle further explains how happy he is for beating the Spaniard. Aston Villa played with a better determination and resilience tonight and I'm happy they were rewarded with a very vital win that ensured they took all three points from that game to overtake Manchester City in the English Premier League table as the Villans now occupy the third position of the league standings

I've said it in several occasions on this thread that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City isn't as effective and impressive as they were last season. They don't even look like the team that triumphed both in two domestic competitions as well as in Europe last season. Pep Guardiola serious need to work on his team and come up with a new playing style that'll bring out the best from the players once more.  Erling Haaland once again failed to score today in a game that many had predicted that he'll surely find the back of the net. The Norwegian doesn't have all the qualities of a good striker if you ask me. His footwork is one of the weakest among English Premier League strikers and he rarely falls back deep to take ball and play it to their opponent's 18 yard box. Erling Haaland is a sharp striker that knows how to position in games but he need to improve his footwork in other to be able to deliver in games that his team are finding difficult to break.

City's bench was basically empty for today's game. I didn't watch but from the tweets I saw, looks like there isn't much to write home about about City's performance. But I won't blame City because Villa has been real solid this season — their biggest loss has that 5-1 loss to Newcastle. Since then, Villa has largely improved. I wasn't expecting much from City from this match given how fantastic Villa is (especially at home.

This Villa team won Tottenham at home a few weeks ago.

I also did not expect that Citizens could be defeated in the match, to be honest I just woke up, because in my country the Manc city vs Aston Villa match was in the early morning, so I didn't watch the full match, only a few minutes of the match left.

And indeed man City here is different, they are quite difficult to build their attacks, I don't why, or maybe because of the absence of play maker KDB, they are like disheveled, not like usual before, when I look at the statistics of the whole match, from the total shots made, in fact Aston villa made more shots than man city, which should be a matter of attacking and defending man city can be said to be the strongest, but it seems that pep is helpless, and he has to concede one goal in the 74th minute by bailey and that single goal is a key victory for Aston villa.
