Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[nara1892]

As predicted although there were some doubts for me about Tottenham in this match, but finally Tottenham can secure the full three points in this match despite having to experience a red card on one of its players midway through the second half, initially I thought that by playing with only 10 people then Nottm Forest would be able to at least catch up  with its goal towards the end of the second half but good Tottenham can break all that speculation by successfully maintaining its advantage in terms of score until the end of the minute.

With this result it is clear that at least the confidence of the fans will be restored although maybe not completely, and with this good result at least Tottenham can be a little further away from Manchester United and equalize the number of points with Manchester City. Now they have a 2-point gap with Aston Villa who are in third place in the standings and a 3-point gap with Arteta's squad, but on the other hand the problem is that several other teams, especially those in the top five area, still have one match they have not played which means they have the possibility to continue to stay away from Tottenham's pursuit. Another thing is that I hope Tottenham will again be able to win the full three points in the next match against Everton.

Even though Tottenham won 3 points over Nottinghm Forest, their actual productivity is still lower than what they did at the start of the season. So now Tottenham just need to play it safe in the position they currently occupy. And there is no need to worry about Man United because no one can pose a threat from this troubled club.

Newcastle should be able to win this match if they want to improve their position, but Fulham is also not a weak club because of the fact that they have won twice in a row so it looks like they are currently in good condition, playing as host should be Newcastle's main asset in getting full points in today's match. My prediction is that Newcastle will win 2 - 1

I don't think Newcastle will be able to win this match. Fulham is flying high at the moment and are scoring a lot of goals as it stands. Newcastle are struggling due to injuries and most of their star players are still out injured. Newcastle has been collapsing late in the game because there are no squad dept and Fulham will capitalize on this. I don't see Newcastle performing well again until January.

Returning to focus on the match that was currently taking place I was initially quite optimistic that  Fulham would be able to put up a little resistance especially in the early minutes when  he still lost a little control. However after Raul Jimenes received a red card it would  be very easy for Newcastle to make a difference  in the second half. Certainly a loss will be experienced by the Fulham  players because Newcastle has an open gap.

I also think it will be an easy match for Chelsea, they will stop the bad progress. Sheffield United are last in the league and they're there because they're playing really really bad. Chelsea are not doing well this season either, but they should just beat the last team. Sheffield United surprised everyone by beating Brentford last week.

The match has started already, and it’s not really easy for Chelsea. They dominated the match, but Sheffield United are playing a defensive game in the match, and Chelsea are finding it difficult to break their defence. Even as Sheffield United are at the bottom of the table, they are still giving Chelsea a difficult moment in the match. I don’t see any difference between Chelsea and Sheffield United's performance this season, they both are performing poorly, and from the way the match is going, I don’t have confidence in Chelsea to win the match. Jackson has wasted some opportunities, his performance is just kind of poor. Let’s see how the first half of the match goes for them.

[EL MOHA]

Fulham is just an average team this season just trying to maintain a healthy spot around the top eight teams so they can still be in the premier league next season, their performance so far haven't been anything above average so keeping an open mind to their game will be a healthy option because they are playing against a team which is currently on the decline tho with a good record earlier this season, a draw could be anticipated in this game but then Newcastle has got home advantage and Fulham playing from away may just be defensive to reduce number of goals conceded.

Although Newcastle on paper seem more of the favourite to win this tie but with recent injuries hampering them with close to 8 first team players missing out I wouldn’t blame them much in their current miseries. Also it would not be logical to underestimate an opponent like Fulham. Fulham might have started the season poorly but they their recent performances is a thing of worry to Newcastle. They have scored 16 goals in just their last 4 matches including a 5 nil back to back win against Nottingham forest and West Ham United, with also an entertaining 7 goal thriller against Liverpool. This free scoring Fulham side should be a thing of worry for Newcastle side that have been shipping in goals lately.

Manchester City are playing right now against Crystal Palace which is defending with 7 players and sometimes with the whole team, yet Grealish managed to score a goal after VAR verification. If he was like 1 cm in advance it would be disallowed and that goal might be a discussion subject.
Manchester City are pushing and Foden shot was so close. Meanwhile, Ederson deserved a red card instead of the yellow card he received! He was targeting the foot of the player and he was lucky the attack was in the side otherwise he will get red carded.
Manchester City are playing way better and the full defence tactic of Crystal Palace is useless in my opinion.

[uchegod-21]

Today will be an interesting match Newcastle vs Fulham... Probably Newcastle after the failure in the Champions League should win this game, but Fulham are also playing well now... I think that both teams will score here...

It's better to bet on both teams scoring than winning between the two still hard to imagine if Fulham win again. 

Newcastle must be able to rise from this successive defeat indeed in the champion league The Magpies are still unlucky to lose despite being superior in the first half, but they must now focus on the League in order to get a champion league ticket again even though it is not an easy task, I think they can play more aggressively again.

We thought about Fulham how they scored more goals, maybe this game will be a bit different.

I think Newcastle has lost 3 consecutive times already. Two in the English premier League while one in the Champions League. This consecutive losses only leads to further doom and not the other way round. If a club wants to pick after the first lose, it is easy but once the lose is upto 3, it is always difficult to rebounce.

In the other way round, Fulham has been in an excellent performance recently and they are known in scoring high number of goals. So, it is nice that the match will play over 2.5 goals and possibly both teams to score.

Man City really dominated the game because Crystal Palace preferred to play defensive football and they only relied on counter attacks. Maybe the situation will be different in the second half because to catch up with Man City, Crystal Palace must play more aggressively and strive to create more opportunities. If that happens, it could be an opportunity for Man City to score another goal because it will be easier for them to penetrate Crystal Palace's defense.

The first half has ended, the two teams are still playing in a draw with the score still 0-0. Newcastle were still unable to break the deadlock even though Fulham played with 10 men after Raul Jimenez received a red card in the 22nd minute. Newcastle must take advantage of their superior number of players to achieve victory. Eddie Howe must have the courage to make Newcastle appear to attack to open up the advantage in this match.
Newcastle must end the three consecutive wins experienced in the EPL and UCL. This time they have a good opportunity to end their bad record in the last three matches, the advantage of playing at home and having a superior number of players must be exploited for a win.

[FinePoine0]

Manchester City is in a lot of attacks at the moment and Manchester City managed to score 1 goal in 24 minutes. But now Crystal Palace's defense is very weak at the moment due to which they have a lot of attacking opportunities. Manchester City have 74% of the ball, and Crystal Palace have the remaining 26%. I can see Manchester City having the ball at their feet for most of the halftime, but in attack Crystal Palace had 14 shots at the goal post, and Crystal Palace only 2.

[Queentoshi]

Manchester City are playing right now against Crystal Palace which is defending with 7 players and sometimes with the whole team, yet Grealish managed to score a goal after VAR verification.

Grealish knowing that there is now competition for his place in the team is making sure he impresses the coach now while he has the opportunity to before Jeremy Doku returns.

Chelsea in their own game against Sheffield have lacked the creativity to create enough chances to score. The game is drawn in the first half, and with less time to play now, Chelsea would have a bigger problem if Sheffield scored the first goal because they have defended well so far and will try to defend more better if they can score a goal. I suspect that Nkunku will have some time to play in this second half, if he scores if given a chance, that will be a good way to make his return.

[RockBell]

Chelsea was coming with almost the same squad like the previous matches. There only change that occurs toward the goal keeper position. Chelsea was not using sanchez as a goal keeper. It seems chelsea may lose in this game. Im avoiding to bet on this match caused by chelsea is a very inconsistent team for this season. If i can and i would like to give chelsea an award about the most inconsistent club in EPL. As far as i watching the match now and the problem that occurs to the chelsea is the same.
Chelsea's attacking line is always having trouble with the positioning. It seems like that almost all of its attackers have no ability to get a good positioning to catch the ball and shoot it.

Even chelsea is still struggling when it was playing against a weak team. SHU was nothing this season but chelsea may lose three points. Why doesn't pochet change the strategy?

And Chelsea using the same squad is not really affecting their performance from the well  Chelsea is playing it looks satisfying but the problem now is that they lack creativity on how to score, because Sheffield United are channel all their energy to the defense and making it very difficult for chelsea to score and even sterling is putting in effort but its not working.  And it does not look like chelsea will lose and true that they are inconsistent but their play is still organized but lacking to score but if they keep  the pressure they might have a chance to score, they have a better chance of winning than Sheffield United, they just need to make some corrections to make a balance. And since they are just coming back from the second half let's us see the wonders that will happen. Is it going to be draw or a win.

Any club side playing defensive style against a team as strong and dominant as Manchester city has got to have a plan to score or at least not concede more than they can equalize. No doubt Manchester city will add to the goals in second half which is about to begin.
Grealish may have been lucky to have found the net early but it is Haaland we know that can and should and would have been of better impact to force the defense to make blunders. So bad he is unavailable in the match today as well as Doku who would have done some damage coming in from the flank.

Newcastle United can't take advantage with Fulham have to played with 10 players after red card receiving by Raul Jimenez on 22th minutes match begin. Its not really expected result for first half with Newcastle United failed scoring goals against teams have to play with 10 players. Still have 45 minutes left on second half as great chance for Newcastle stop their bad result last several matches and eliminated from Champion League by defeating Fulham. Eddie Howe have to play more offensive on second half if not loss opportunity against team have loss their one player, Newcastle not really dominance yet on first half regarding 2 shots on target than Fulham success made 3 shots on target.

If you watch closely, Crystal palace are not that useless as you put it, looking at the way the game has been going this first half, Crystal palace have been defending no doubt, but they've also have a brilliant counter attack formula they've been using lead by olise, and it has helped them to create some sort of threat at the Manchester city defence line a little bit. No doubt about the fact that Manchester city have more fire power than them, however if it has been so easy for Manchester city, I believe the goals would have been more than one this first half.

[Stable090]

 

Man City really dominated the game because Crystal Palace preferred to play defensive football and they only relied on counter attacks.

Playing a defensive game won’t favour Crystal Palace. Manchester City is a dangerous club that you shouldn’t even try to place a defensive game with, they will just struggle to score at least a goal in the match. Manchester City dominated the first half of the match, and  they were able to score a goal in the first half of the match. But from the way Manchester City dominated the match in the first half, I am expecting them to score more goals in the second half of the match. Their performance is really impressive in the match.

In the other way round, Fulham has been in an excellent performance recently and they are known in scoring high number of goals. So, it is nice that the match will play over 2.5 goals and possibly both teams to score.

Fulham played well in the first half of the match, even with a man down, they struggled to maintain a draw in the first half of the match. Sure,  they will want to get a draw in the match even if they can’t win, but it won’t really be easy for them. Let’s just hope they will be able to hold Newcastle down in the second half of the match even with a red card.

Manchester City will definitely win the match because I can see players like Grealish that is adding more effort to make sure that his club doesn't lose the match. Currencies they are on the lead and that is how the match is going to continue, because they will be on the lead till the end of the game. There will be more scores in the second half from both teams and I believe that Manchester city will score up to 3 goals in this match. Chelsea are finding it difficult to put the ball at the back of their opponent's net and I don't see them winning their own match.

If Manchester City can't score the second goal, they can't play comfortably until the end of the match. Crystal Palace are defending but they can score on the counter and keep City off balance. Crystal Palace are not playing well in their last games and they don't have a win, so I think City will win the game, but they still need to be careful on the counter.

Defensive teams are always dangerous against big teams. So I assume Pep is thinking about that and taking precautions, they won't want to lose points at home against such an opponent.

Manchester City must maintain their winning streak if they want to occupy the top spot in the Premier League points table. Manchester City have fallen far behind in the title race. Even with a win today, Manchester City will need more time to regain the top spot in the points table.

Crystal Palace is not a strong team. Naturally, we are seeing the dominance of Manchester City. But I thought that since Crystal Palace's defense is not strong, Manchester City will win today's match by a big margin. But Crystal Palace are playing a completely defensive strategy today. So Manchester City might get a narrow win today.

And Chelsea using the same squad is not really affecting their performance from the well  Chelsea is playing it looks satisfying but the problem now is that they lack creativity on how to score, because Sheffield United are channel all their energy to the defense and making it very difficult for chelsea to score and even sterling is putting in effort but its not working.  And it does not look like chelsea will lose and true that they are inconsistent but their play is still organized but lacking to score but if they keep  the pressure they might have a chance to score, they have a better chance of winning than Sheffield United, they just need to make some corrections to make a balance. And since they are just coming back from the second half let's us see the wonders that will happen. Is it going to be draw or a win.

Chelsea its playing quite well today, but the attacking creativity is less than 1% for me and the greatest problem is the guy up front, he's not fully involved in the game, always playing as though he's an alien to the struggle on the pitch. I just wish Pochetino would see things clearly and know that Jackson is not the kind of player Chelsea needs at this moment. Chelsea needs a striker with some sort of force and delivery, but Jackson is a weak forward. He finishes well sometimes though, but what they need now is some sort of Drogba or Diego Costa upfront. I'm glad Nkunku is back. Maybe we could see improved performance in Chelsea's attack going forward.
Good thing Palmer has scored, Chelsea Leads by 1

[Pandu Geddon]

Good thing Palmer has scored, Chelsea Leads by 1

Chelsea's opponent is a team at the bottom of the standings. I hope they can be more aggressive, not just satisfied with the current 2 score lead. they had very few chances even against the team that conceded the most goals this season.
Chelsea is facing serious problems with their team's performance. Who knows what's wrong with Pochettino's strategy, Chelsea is very inconsistent in their game. and that was a serious problem for him, otherwise maybe they would replace a new coach.

[Franctoshi]

Chelsea has now woken up out of their slumber this second half with an account opening goal from Palmer and a second goal from Jackson, and despite Jackson getting scoring the 2nd goal, If I were to be the coach I would substitute Jackson and Raheem sterling in this second half both guys has been too slow with the ball and their finishing is very poor. I saw Nkunku warming up and he seem ready to play after coming back from injury, I hope he gets featured in this game.
