Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Texac]

Arsenal gets very lucky as they are now a goal up on Brighton and HoverAlbion, this was always going to be a very difficult game and a big test for Arsenal, all I can say is that they really turned up and now the pressure has been shifted to Liverpool.
Manchester city threw away their chances to take three points away from yesterday's game against crystal palace and now their troubles continues as Arsenal looks to be having the three points today.

After Brighton gave Arsenal a frustrating first half, Arsenal managed to win the match by 2 goals in the second half with an outstanding performance that broke through Brighton's defense.
In every Premier League week match, Arsenal keeps showing that they are in much need to be the 2023/2024 Premier League champions. Although they have Liverpool and Manchester City as their biggest rival for the Premier League title.

The way Brighton played defensively today, I thought the match would be a goalless draw. From the beginning of the match, Brighton played completely defensively. There was no tendency for the Brighton players to score. Their main aim was to resist Arsenal's attacks. In the first half, Brighton successfully countered every Arsenal attack. However, in the second half Arsenal players became more desperate to score. At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal took the lead in the match with the goal of Jesus in the 53rd minute. Kai Havartez's goal in the 87th minute then gave Arsenal an impressive 2-0 win in the match. The top spot in the points table is now occupied by Arsenal.

After watching the performance of both teams in the first half I also thought the match was going to be a draw. Brighton are a strong enough team. When such a team plays a defensive strategy, it becomes challenging for the opposing players to score goals. But Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta was able to spot the weaknesses in Brighton's defence. This is why Arsenal was able to take the lead by scoring at the beginning of the second half. In the second half, Brighton's players tried several times to bring the match back to parity. But they failed to score, and conceded another goal in the last minute to lose the match 2-0.

Arteta is an excellent coach. Arteta's match strategy has led to Arsenal's performances so far and the team at the top of the table. Arsenal could have cemented their place at the top of the table had they not dropped points against Aston Villa.

Arsenal had 50% ball possession in this match. However, Arsenal's boys played attacking in the entire match. Arsenal players had a total of 26 shots in the entire match, 9 of which were on target. On the other hand, the players of opponent Brigton were able to make only 6 shots. Although Arsenal played completely attacking in this match, their defense was also strong.

Another defeat for Wolves and it was no surprise at all because this team have been on a down spiral for at least 4 games and if they continue to play like this , I'm afraid that by the end of the season they will actually fight not to relegate.

Also funny how United barely touches the ball so far against Liverpool and curious how long they can resist until they concede a goal because Liverpool is playing super offensively and they look that they can score almost on every chance they crate which is crazy and also it gives me Liverpool vibes from 19/20 season when they won UCL but also Premier League.  Cool

Wolves don't have any targets this season except staying safe from relegation and I believe Wolves are still in the safe zone with 10 points above Luton, Wolves can only collect points when playing at home but when playing away there is nothing we can hope for. I watched the Liverpool v Manchester United match and I even confidently placed a bet for Liverpool to win in the first half but unfortunately no goals so far and I don't give up I will place another bet in the second half for some reason I see Liverpool as very ambitious to regain first place. This scheme is the same as the Arsenal match a few hours ago when Arsenal controlled the match but they were able to score 2 goals in the second half.

Very understandable why it seems like Liverpool is fighting hard to climb to the top of the table, seeing that they are just one point behind that of Arsenal.
But then, climbing to the top of the table, which is that first position is not really the matter or issue rather, the real issue is staying there.

Last week, Aston villa(if I am not mistaken) was in that first position, and one week later, they are now in the third position while Liverpool that was probably the third Same last week is not second, and Arsenal that was second last week is not first again after having lost that position to Aston villa previously.

So, this is to say that the competition is really high at the moment, climbing to the top is not the issue, but the issue is staying there.
And concerning the match being played, Liverpool is definitely trying hard to win, but then, Manchester united seem to be really prepared for them, they seem not to be giving Liverpool any chance at all, but again, it's football, let's see what happens in the second half of the game.
And besides, I've not placed any bet on this match, may likely end in a draw if Liverpool does not strategically find a way to score.

I don't know what's going on with City, but they are not their usual self this season, they are conceding too many goals, too slow in attack and they don't finish teams off. The gap between City and their fellow title contenders continues to get wider and even if we know City can go on long winning runs, it might not be the case this season, before Pep and his City side return from the World club cup, they might be many points off the top of the table. Pep has to fix this and very quickly as well if they are going to win their fourth EPL title in a row.

However, in my opinion, Manchester City is still very worthy of being considered as a team challenging for the title this season. Things like this are needed so that the players want to give their best for the team, meaning they have to work hard to get out of trouble in difficult times.

So far, Pep Guardiola may admit that winning a fourth Premier League title in a row is very possible, but it is very unrealistic if it can be achieved easily. The team will have to do everything well and work harder, that's because every other team will be eager to prevent Manchester City from doing that. The failure or success of Manchester City in winning a fourth title in a row is still unknown, but the gap in points at the top of the standings is still very likely to close.

[Mayor of ogba]

Liverpool are very good now, I think that such Manchester United should not become a problem for them, and while City unexpectedly lose points, they should take advantage of this, although in relation to City. If Aston Villa and Arsenal win their games today, the top three could go ahead. But let’s not rush, this is the Premier League and surprises are possible in every match.

There is no doubt that Aston Villa are performing very well right now. Villa are now third in the table. But I don't think this team is fit to win the Premier League title. I think Aston Villa will go down in the next few weeks.

The Liverpool team is very strong. Liverpool team will play at home against Manchester United today. I think Liverpool will win today. Manchester United's performance has been very erratic. Liverpool can beat Manchester United only if Liverpool's performance is stable. United's defense is also quite weak.

I do not see Aston Villa going down from the top-four position in a few weeks, Aston Villa will be in the top-four position for a very long term. Aston Villa's coming from behind to beat Brighton shows that they are fully ready to win the Premier League this season.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Yes, it true that Arsenal needs this 3 points in other to be able to emerge 1st in the table against Liverpool, but that's the same way Brighten needs this same point to be able to come 7th on the table against Newcastle who they both have same point @ 26. So this match is literary going to be tough for both teams, of which although Arsenal has a better edge of winning this game, if they fail to play a more defensive and attacking game this coming Sunday, it's likely gonna end draw. But I'm it's gonna be G.G

Talking about a GG match, it's definitely going to be extremely difficult for the home side to net a goal. Roberto De Zerbi and his team will play against Mikel Arteta and the firing Gunners in Holloway, North London. What can we expect from the game? I'm looking forward to seeing the Gunners tear down Brighton & Hove Albion, who claim to be in desperate require of a winning. Despite the fact that we are acutely conscious of Brighton's prior colossal victories over Arsenal. This weekend, Arsenal will face the Seagulls at Emirate Stadium, a must-win for the Gunners in order to close the gap between them and Liverpool.

It's seems you foresaw the game before hand, because it actually ended the same way as predicted with Arsenal on the victory side against Brighten in today's match, of which though the first half ended draw, I really love the energy which the Arsenal team came back wit in the second half which resulted to G. Jesus and K. Havertz scoring the 2 goals in today's game, and I must confess, I did enjoyed it.

Top fourth teams position have good result for this week except Manchester City, there are have Arsenal won against Brighton Albion and Aston Villa keep in the winning trend. Left Liverpool match will follow the good result for defeating Manchester United or possibility follow not good result achievement like Man City.

It's hard to accept that Manchester City dropped points against weaker opponents. They shouldn't be losing points in these types of games, especially considering the quality of their squad. City is going through a challenging period, but sometimes things can turn around unexpectedly. They have to bounce back, as other contenders maintaining their winning streaks.

You made a really good point here, but you need to consider the absence of most of their top players like Haaland and kelvin debrune, no team will lose such top player and don't feel their absence, but I know that in due time, when they are back, they can beat any team in the world.

Just that if they continue like this, before they will realize their self, they will be far away from the top, which will make it very challenging and difficult to defend the title. Injury is one occurrence in football that is out of team Manager's control and it's so unfortunate when we see teams that are supposed to doing great in the league suffering behind due to injured top players absence.

Pep has to fix this and very quickly as well if they are going to win their fourth EPL title in a row.

There are several factors why Man City is experiencing inconsistency or in other words difficulty in getting maximum points, most recently they drew against Crystal Palace. I think partly because of the injuries to Halaand, De Bruyne and Stones, without these three players Pep Guardiola will be a little confused when it comes to maintaining the team performance. Of course Pep will fix this problem as soon as possible, because losing any more points will result in reduced chances of retaining the EPL trophy at the end of the season.

It does seem confusing to understand why Man City is experiencing such a decline in performance as it is currently. I think Pep squad is experiencing a decrease in hunger for the championship trophy, because it has achieved a level of success that is so proud like last season, namely winning the treble winners. Pep must take care of his team so that they remain enthusiastic about getting points and chasing the EPL trophy for the fourth time in a row.

The competitive situation in the top four of the standings is getting hotter every week, the entry of Aston Villa to disrupt the competition from favorite teams such as Arsenal and Liverpool is increasingly making City position difficult. Moreover, if Tottenham and Newcastle return to consistency in the future, then City will have even more difficulties and will even fail to defend the EPL trophy this season if they don't make improvements.

Man Utd proving to be a hard nut to crack. I expected it btw because more often than not Big teams will often lose to smaller teams but deliver world class performance against teams in the top 4. This is becoming a norm especially this season with Chelsea deliver big performances against City, Liverpool and Arsenal but lost at home to Brentford some weeks back.

Anyway, second half is underway. I have my fingers crossed for this half and hope Liverpool finds the net on more than one occasion + 3 points.

I understand why you are so confident in saying Aston Villa will be in the top 4 for a long time because I saw their match schedule and there are no big matches until next March there are only a few games against Manchester United and I'm not sure if they can be called big games because in fact Aston Villa's performance is much better, but next April they will face 2 strong teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal well, here we can't be sure whether Aston Villa is still safe or vice versa. As we can see in the table, each team has adjacent points meaning there is still a chance to overtake each other among the top 4 but to win the League I'm not sure Aston Villa can do it.

You are right when it comes to big team, the weak big clubs don't accept defeat and it use to be a turgue of war. Liverpool has a better chance of scoring Manchester United in the last quarter of the first half but Manchester United didn't give them that chance as they sealed their defense. I think Liverpool should be able to win the match.

To be honest with you I never expected that Manchester United will be able to hold their ground and face Liverpool with strong will of not allowing Liverpool to win the game. Nunez is always on offside in this match, both clubs are trying but none of them have been able to break the deadlock yet. It is still goalless draw.

Manchester United are playing a completely defensive strategy against Liverpool today. The United Ten Hag is well aware that Manchester United have no chance of winning against Liverpool. That is why he is keen to draw the match 0-0 by playing a defensive strategy.

Manchester United made only two shots in 65 minutes. And only 29% of ball possession. Liverpool's players have been dominating the match so far as well as trying hard to break down Manchester United's defence. But they are not succeeding. Liverpool have had 71% of the ball possession so far and have had a total of 19 shots. It will be very sad for Liverpool fans if Liverpool lose points despite such a good performance.

Arsenal managed to intimidate Brighton with their offensive organisation. Arsenal is a team that can get very good results from set pieces, apart from their offensive organizations. This year, they scored a total of eight goals from set pieces.

The first goal of the Brighton match was a corner kick. Yes, Arsenal would have been in a more comfortable position if they had not lost the Aston Villa match, but there is a disastrous conflict in the EPL this year. It looks like the Premier League will be really hot this year compared to previous years

The second half is taking a new shape now, Manchester United is playing attacking football which could have given Manchester United a lead against Liverpool, but Garnacho could not find the back of the net. If Manchester United continue to play the way they are playing now,  they might get a point from Liverpool at Anfield.

Top fourth teams position have good result for this week except Manchester City, there are have Arsenal won against Brighton Albion and Aston Villa keep in the winning trend. Left Liverpool match will follow the good result for defeating Manchester United or possibility follow not good result achievement like Man City.

It's hard to accept that Manchester City dropped points against weaker opponents. They shouldn't be losing points in these types of games, especially considering the quality of their squad. City is going through a challenging period, but sometimes things can turn around unexpectedly. They have to bounce back, as other contenders maintaining their winning streaks.

If Manchester City fail to recover quickly then yes, it is very possible for Manchester City to get out of the top four. But indeed, last season Manchester City also had several bad results, but at least last season Manchester City's competing teams were not consistent enough like this moment.

Of course, it is different from what happened at this moment, because at this moment it is not only about Arsenal and Liverpool who managed to compete in positions 1 and 2. Because after all, in fact there is Aston Villa which is also very impressive at this moment. Therefore, it looks like it will be difficult for Manchester City to recover quickly and if that happens, then Manchester City maybe no longer succeed in competing strongly in the title race this season.

Man City in the last 5 matches won only 1, lost 1, and drawn 3 games. This is very damaging for them. If they had won all 5 games, they would have 43 points which puts them 4 points ahead of Arsenal who are in the first place right now. Among these 5 matches, they played against some tough teams and also against weaker teams. Their dropping points against weaker teams will hurt them at the end of the season. Dropping points against weaker teams is what gives a big team the chance to win the title. Arsenal are currently 5 points ahead of them with 39 points.

Liverpool and Man United are currently playing with the scores 0-0 after 70 minutes. If the match results in a draw then Arsenal would be back in the top position. I think the champion this season will be either Arsenal or Liverpool. Aston Villa might surprise everyone and take the championship themselves. Man City needs to come back from this poor performance and they cannot afford losing points anymore. Tottenham and Newcastle might also join the top 4.

[Odohu]

Ten Hag only plays his favorite players. Even though there are still several good midfielders such as Amrabat, Casemiro and Eriksen that he could use as options to play.

That is a fantastic observation about Ten Hag. If not of this point of yours, I wonder why he will not bench Onana in few matches so that he will sit up. It is as if his mistakes and inconsistencies are accepted by the coach that is why he is not making any effort to improve.

However, Ten Hag actually made some adjustments today by playing Amrabat probably due to the absence of Bruno Fernández owing to injury. On a serious note, I dont to understand why he used Naino that is obviously not suitable for this match. Now Liverpool is dominating the midfield while Manchester United seems to be more on the defensive side.

[alankasman]

Anyway, second half is underway. I have my fingers crossed for this half and hope Liverpool finds the net on more than one occasion + 3 points.

Hoping for a draw is more likely to occur than hoping for Liverpool to win because Manchester United and Liverpool have equally good opportunities to score a goal, but there has not been a final finish that is convincing enough to become a goal even though a number of opportunities for goals from both teams were very open throughout the second half.
My bet is still safe because I placed a draw for this match.

[Oluwa-btc]

Believe me Manchester United has no other way to approach this game, they have to be defending and defensive, the tactics seems to be working but they have failed to utilized the chances the chances they had.
Liverpool though have been the better side in this game, they have also failed to score no much of chances created in between. Chelsea did well during these games you mentioned, I was perplexed against Manchester City, the young players won the  midfied from Manchester City. Th draw they had in that game was not a good one, they should have been the side to win eve if I wanted em.to lose.

Second half here and they still be pressuring Manchester United. For Manchester United to hold Liverpool down to this point they have done well. Hopefully they get a point out this game.

[3meek]

Liverpool vs Man U game reminded me of Arsenal vs Brighton game in the first half... Liverpool had a lot of shots but couldn't score a single goal... The game will be over soon, and I didn't expect the score to be 0-0... I hope there will be a goal in the last minutes...

[Rockstarguy]

In every Premier League week match, Arsenal keeps showing that they are in much need to be the 2023/2024 Premier League champions. Although they have Liverpool and Manchester City as their biggest rival for the Premier League title.

Arsenal dominated the game in the first and second half but it wasn't easy for the to score until the second half Gabriel and Havertz managed to score the goal. The failure of Manchester City of not having a full point in their previous game was a big advantage for arsenal and if Liverpool ends up playing draw with Manchester United it will also be an advantage to Arsenal too.

It is so interesting to see Arsenal at the top of the league again,  this is a good opportunity for arsenal to try their best again to maintain the top position,  but Arsenal are always unpredictable if they can be able to maintain the position. Arsenal have a lot of work to do , their next game they will be playing against Liverpool,  this will determine if they can win the Premier League,  it is going to be a tough game for arsenal because Liverpool is very tough this season fighting to get the title.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Does it mean this match it's going to end draw with no goals? Or is there any chance any of the both team going to score a die minute goal? Because it's already 82minutes into the match and yet game still very tough for both team, while Liverpool having the most ball possession (i.e 69%), 8 shots on targets and 12 shots off target, and yet couldn't convert any into potential goal. But however, lets see what the outcome will be, as I'm positive, Liverpool has a better hedge in today's game
