Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Spaceman1000$]

Liverpool vs Arsenal will certainly be a crucial match, a direct clash that could make it clear who really rules in the Premier League. Statistics in hand it is difficult to say which of the two will be able to win, the technical differences are really minimal. But I think Liverpool have a more compact team than Arsenal. On December 23rd we will know who can be elected Winter Champion

Going by statistics it's definitely going to be difficult been able to predict this match probably almost unpredictable because the statistics Will be given both team so many similarities in performance and other statistics this season so far and no doubts these two team have really done so much that has earned them various spots on the league table this season.

I would want to look away from the regular statistical analysis, looking from the psychology analysis, the last premier league game Liverpool played was against Manchester united which ended in a goalless draw and yesterday in their EFL match against westham, they won by 5 goals, this could tell they have an average confidence In the premier such that can't be seen as really strong enough meanwhile Arsenal  won Brighton in their most recent premier league game by two goals with Brighton getting a single goal, but against Liverpool Arsenal will be playing from away so some how this may tell ok their confidence and mentality but then they still have a good psychology tho not in a 100% good form,  home advantage is the edge Liverpool has got in this game but the gunners will definitely fight to get a point at least .

Looking at the psychological confidence the arsenal players have now, i think liverpool will have a very difficult game, yeah looking at the way Liverpool played against Manchester United the other day, we might give them some credence because they played with some level of dominance against Manchester United but the playing pattern of Manchester United and Arsenal are quite different, however the Arsenal team have a lot of defensive and attacking midfielders that can easily create chances and score, Liverpool on the other hand will try to have some defensive and attacking mindset more like a counter attack mindset, it's really going to be an interesting game to watch, because it will be very intriguing.

Any team trying to play Arsenal using a counter attack is probably risking the game. I have seen it several times, when Manchester United tried it, Chelsea tried it and Luton as well. Any team that want to challenge Arsenal strongly should focus more on breaking and dominating the gunners midfield properly. Only through that way there will be opportunities to score and handicapped Arsenal in the game. Liverpool is a team i believe that loves the counter strategy but they should remember that Arsenal has intelligent defenders which they may not succeed in their counter plans.

Counter attack has been the game Liverpool normally plays, so that pattern of choking the midfield is what Manchester City normally plays, so that was why they had a clash that was more than that of the titans when they met Arsenal, because both teams we are fighting to control the midfield and create more chances at the front. Liverpool will try to fight because it's a big game and they wouldn't want to be seen as the weak side but most people are already seeing them on that light.

This season's EPL League season is very competitive, the points difference is not too far from the teams in the top four. Man City is a bit inconsistent in some matches, but other teams must remain alert to Man City, because currently many Man City players are injured. The real test is when Man City players are not injured. Liverpool is mighty but doubtful. Arsenal are unpredictable until the season ends.

The race for the league is kind of difficult right now, all the clubs in the top 5 are really fighting for the league, and all of them are not giving up because the points difference between them is just kind of close, so any slight mistake from any of them will result in them dropping in position. Manchester City has dropped in their performance, but we all know Manchester City to be a dangerous club, they can’t be predicted. Let’s see if they will be able to get their way back to the first position.

But in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, I predict Arsenal will win. because Arsenal will take advantage of Liverpool's unstable (weak) midfield.

If Liverpool’s midfield is weak, then they won’t have been in the position that they are currently in. Liverpool is currently in the 2nd position, and they have lost only 1 match this season with 5 draws. Liverpool has a nice squad this season, and I don’t even think Arsenal will be able to win the match. Liverpool shouldn’t be underestimated just because they played a draw against Manchester United in their last Premier League match. I won’t be surprised if Liverpool wins the match or if their match ends in a draw.

I think it's reasonable for both of you not to expect Manchester City to win the title this season, but I still expect it to retain its title. Manchester City is known as a team that can dominate the Premier League title as long as Pep Guardiola is the coach, so I think they will retain the title even though currently Manchester City is below Aston Villa, Liverpool and Arsenal.

What doesn't make sense for you is to underestimate Manchester City's ability to defend the title, that's a bit funny because so far Manchester City is the team with 3 consecutive titles in the last 3 seasons. Will they always be able to, no, but the odds are still better today.

The historical dominance of Manchester City under Pep Guardiola and the team's ability to secure the titles are evident to still put them as favorite to win Premier League this season. While they may be currently below Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Arsenal in the standings, I think they will indeed still manage to retain the title. Guardiola is renowned for his tactical prowess and the team's ability to adapt to his style of play, which has contributed to their sustained success in recent years.

The past achievements of winning the titles while being behind before the ending weeks showcase Manchester City's resilience and capacity to overcome challenges. It's important to consider the entire season's context, acknowledging that teams may face ups and downs throughout the campaign. Manchester City's current position in the standings might not be indicative of their overall performance, and their track record suggests they have the capability to climb back and secure the title.

In my opinion, Brighton seems more likely to win the away game than Crystal Palace. I know Brighton has been unstable in the last few games, but Crystal Palace is much worse. Crystal Palace does not have a higher probability of winning than Brighton in this match, even if Crystal Palace plays at home.

Previously, Crystal Palace were very lucky when they forced Manchester City to a 2-2 draw, but luck was not always on their side. Brighton is more convincing in my opinion, the high probability of winning is one of the reasons the quality of play is better than Crystal Palace. However, the first half was still a draw, there were no goals until the first half almost ended.

Having shared points with Manchester City I had that feeling they would do same this time with Brighton who have been quite unstable with them form and how they've been playing.
Crystal Palace also pressed harder than them for the second goal to at least hold the game and keep a good gap ahead in the game.
Danny Welbeck was there to get Brighton a point though tonight.

I don't believe in luck, they've earned it. Besides, Manchester City is not the same dangerous Manchester City we saw from last season they're more of a side that have played this season with o much consistentcy.
Injuries and match officials jas affected them results along with the defenders.

[Onyeeze]

The score is likely to be a draw now because with difficulty Brighton can finally equalize the score in today's match.

The match has now entered extra time and it is likely that a draw will be the final result when looking at the performance of both teams in this match.
Brighton continued to press Palace throughout the match but on the other hand Palace also played very well in this match including the defence they did which made it very difficult for Brighton to penetrate the defensive area that was tightly guarded by Palace.
This is at least a breath of fresh air for Palace because after all they are fortunate to be able to draw even though it doesnt have too much impact on the standings but at least they still get 1 point that is very good only with this result Brighton is now threatened by West Ham who can stay away and reclaim the current 8th position.

Brighton oppressed Crystal Palace but Crystal Palace scored before and that is what makes Brighton to have the fear to introduce opprrssive methods in order to equalise the goal that was scored by Jordan Ayew, so what ever Brighton played in this match is in order to equalise not  to win crystal Palace, the both team participated very well because of the level of the players they have, so I was expecting Brighton to defeat Crystal Palace immediately Crystal Palace scored the early goal then I notice that it will take Brighton more time to score one goal to equalise because Crystal will be playing a defensive game in order to protect their goal,and it happens, its out of pressure Brighton equalise the match

Consistency is the main element for every club that doesn't stand put to win matches. Brighton escaped defeats as they struggle to draw points with the eagles who were extremely firing throughout the game. Drawing tie with Manchester City and this was their moment to win Brighton but got denied in the final minutes of the second half. Selhurst park is indeed one of the undefeated ground for the eagles who are extremely in good shape and Roy Hodgson wouldn't want his team dropped, rather he's more focused on building a new crystal palace that's awakened by hope and determination.

The game ended in a tie, as expected, since I am confident that Brighton would not allow Crystal Palace to win because they are in form and have a superior team than them this season. I was surprised when Crystal Palace scored first, perhaps because they are playing at home, but I knew Brighton would score because in their last 30 matches, they have scored a goal in every match they have played, and only against Arsenal have they finished a match without a goal, which is why I am confident they will equalize before the end of the match.

But it took Brighton quite some time to find their best game and really get it going. I think they wasted too much time this game to show their best gameplay. The price they paid was 2 points lost for this. Now they are quite stuck in the middle of the table and one of the beneficiaries is Manchester United, who once again will be happy to see the other teams around them drop important points.

Many people never taught that crystal Palace will be the one that score Brighton first, because everyone predictions lies that Brighton will defeat crystal because of they have lose three consecutive times they participate in match and they taught that Brighton will even score crystal Palace like three goals, theirs something I want us to know in football, it does not mean that any club or team that experienced constantly wining can continue to be wining other teams they feel that is the less club that get draw from them, actually their two performances was nice .

Crystal palace have been terrible lately, they have failed to win any of their last five matches, drawing tie with Manchester City was a surprise to everyone, no one expected them to be able to pull such string afetra poor run of form. Crystal Palace have been bad lately and despite playing at home they don’t really deserve to win Brighton because Brighton played well and deserved a goal too. Brighton is a strong team as well but they are not at their best form they could perform better than this but a draw and a point is not bad as a saying goes Half a loaf is better none.

The price they paid was 2 points lost for this. Now they are quite stuck in the middle of the table and one of the beneficiaries is Manchester United, who once again will be happy to see the other teams around them drop important points.

Brighton actually played well, they dominated the match and made many shots. Unfortunately, they failed to play effectively, they were even conceded goal first in the first half. In the second half, Brighton just equalized the score in minute 82', Wellbeck scored a single goal. Sure, Brighton too many wasted the chance for scoring goals. There were 18 shots and they won the ball possessions 66%. They were very superior in the match but they didn't know how to score goals effectively.

True. Brighton position is stuck in the middle of the table. West Ham has a chance to overtake Brighton if they can defeat Man United in the upcoming match. However, I think it is a bit difficult to beat Man United because Man United must have a big motivation to win the match. Man United wants to show that they still have the intention to finish in the top 5.

[Palakka]

Writing Manchester city off the English premier league title race this early is a very foolish thing to do. We have seen several times where other teams had a good gap on Manchester city at the top spot but later on Manchester city turned it around to take home the English premier league title from that Team.
I actually want the title to go Arsenal way j think it's fair for them to have it, they have been consistent in recent seasons and we have seen them play well so its only fair it goes to the Gunners but that's not how things are done, the team that are more hungry alway wins it

Looking at the points currently collected by the top 4 ranked teams, there is no significant gap for these 4 teams in reversing their position. I mean if Arsenal fails again in the next match then Manchester City will again put pressure on them this season and it is possible that Manchester City will make Arsenal fast again for the title this season. Manchester city is only 5 point adrift of the first ranked team, which of course is not a long distance considering there are still many games left this season.

Yes, the team that is hungry for the title will become champion again this season. Arsenal must always be consistent this season because they have been very strong if you look at their style of play this season. Manchester City will not remain silent, They can certainly lead the standing again and that is something Arsenal must be aware of this season because if arsenal really wants to win the title then they must be able to maintain their best form.

[AYOBA]

The match between Liverpool and Arsenal will be very interesting to watch, but I believe Liverpool will win because if you look at Liverpool this season, they are performing better than Arsenal and they will not make mistakes to lose against them because Liverpool wants to win the Premier League trophy and they are showing their efforts on the pitch, Arteta will play well but it will be very difficult for him to defeat Liverpool at Anfield, but football is unpredictable anything can occur in the match However, based on their performance this season you will believe Liverpool will defeat Arsenal this weekend, because they will not play as they did against Manchester United last weekend, and they will be prepared for Arsenal and I believe Arsenal will drop points and Liverpool will top the league table.

All though the match between arsenal and Liverpool will be a tough match because everybody is anticipating the come, we all know that Liverpool are winning defference team in their last matches, but arsenal will be difficult for them to win because arsenal performance is very far for those teams the wua you are even talking about Liverpool like say they don do better thing his season, they get locke secore some teams that are not strong that's where their point bull they come get top at the table, but now where you see them again their are now drop down again and arsenal has took place, so stop agued about what will not possible.

Despite the fact that the match between Arsenal and Liverpool will be a tough one because everyone is looking forward to it, we all know that Liverpool has beaten defference teams in their recent matches, but it will be difficult for Liverpool to win against Arsenal, because the arsenal performance is far from those teams. The way you're talking about Liverpool, like saying they are the only one that are in form this season, is just that they get lock against some weak teams, that's where their point bull, they come they top of the table, but now where you see them now? they're dropping down again, and Arsenal has taken place, so stop arguing about what will not ever possible.

As a matter of fact, Liverpool performed appallingly against Manchester United, and I have doubt that they will do worse against Arsenal. People are talking about Arsenal this season because they perceive that the team will work hard to support their performance, and they want to win the Premier League, which is also my forecast.

Since Guardiola started working at Manchester City he has had many achievements in this team and the Manchester City we see these days with Guardiola is far better than the Manchester City we saw in the past when they didn't have this coach in the team but we can't expect to see him always good performance from Manchester City.
You saw Manchester City got the Chmpanios league and the premier league title at the end of the season but it seems this team is not in the good form during the games we saw from them during this season and I think there is a chance for them lose the title during this season.

Tonight's match between Crystal Palace and Brighton is a bit tricky to predict. You see, Brighton has been playing really well lately, and they seem to be in better form than Crystal Palace right now. If we look at their past games against each other, it suggests that the match might end in a draw. However, there's a chance that Crystal Palace could come out looking strong, especially since they're playing on their home turf. It's been a while since they've had a victory, so they might be extra motivated to win tonight.Still, based on what I've seen, I can't confidently say that Crystal Palace will beat Brighton. The game could go either way, and it's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds on the field.

Crystal Palace has already taken the lead few minutes before half time despite the fact that Brighton was dominating because they have more ball possession than Palace even though Palace is creating more attempts than them which has given them a goal before the first half.
Although I also expect a draw in this match considering how their statistics is showing, and for the fact that Palace was able to do a comeback against Manchester City last week, and Brighton lose to Arsenal, so almost all of them are in need of points.

Brighton finally can able to equalized the scored on 82 minutes by Welbeck and unfortunately Crystal Palace was unable to managed their performance during the game and both teams have to satisfied to share points each other and indeed Brighton was dominating the match because Brighton has 66% ball possession and got 18 total of shots Brighton even can able to threaten Crystal Palace defense several times but Henderson can make several crucial safe which make Crystal Palace's defense is safe until the end of the match

For upcoming match between Aston Villa vs Sheffield United about team condition for Aston Villa some of players will not be available just like Boubacar Kamara who got suspension and Pau Torres will be doubtful to play but overall Aston Villa in the good shape and we have been discuss it previously because Aston Villa was very impressive at home and Sheffield United was very weak especially to their defensive lines because so far Sheffield United have already conceded 43 goals so i expect Aston Villa can able to win with big scores with 2 goals margin or more so for this match over 2.5 goals seems good as betting option

For Manchester United this is another big and important game and I think this is especially true for ten Hag. If he wins it, he will again manage to stay close to the qualifiers for the UEFA competitions, but if he loses he will drop further. Against one of the closest competitors in the league now another loss would be devastating and could trigger the bosses to make some decision before this year ends.

That wasn't really tricky though. Usually their matches finish 1-1. This is 6th game in last 10 matches that finish 1-1, so first thing that came to mind happened.
Brighton & Hove Albion had a great series where they score in every match, that ended against Arsenal last week. Now they are back on track again with scoring. They have a big catalog about scoring, 12 different players score at least one goal this season. Today it was Welbeck, he saved 1 point for his team.
My bet was over 1.5 goals, I know it was low odds and look like an easy bet but this was my choice as I pick bets like that when I play with high amounts. Nice to see a bet won, no matter if it was early or late.

The UEFA Champions League have become the main ultimate target of every elite clubs in these European leagues. Manchester United will face Westham United this weekend, who's wining? Remember the Hammers got humiliated 5-1 from Liverpool and I see everything wrong to watch pure defeats coming on the track of Manchester United. I hope Erik Ten Hag is planning solid position to ensure his side is base on winning every matches that crossed their path because the fans can't stand to watch the Red Devils lose another game.

Crystal Palace have been bad lately and despite playing at home they don’t really deserve to win Brighton because Brighton played well and deserved a goal too. Brighton is a strong team as well but they are not at their best form they could perform better than this but a draw and a point is not bad as a saying goes Half a loaf is better none.

I prefer Brighton winning the game because their dominance was better than Crystal Palace. In the second half, Brighton seemed more serious about equalizing, while Palace looked like they just wanted to maintain their lead by playing more defensively. Brighton started setting the pace by adding energy to their attacks. Welbeck, who came in during the second half, became the savior and thrilled the home supporters. His header turned it into a great goal, saving Brighton from a defeat.

However, I think the result is still not great for Brighton. Even though Palace had just drawn with Man City the previous week, Brighton performed better in this match. So, I would have been happier if the result was 1-2 for Brighton's victory.

But this is football, and the possibility of winning or losing is always open for both teams playing.

First of all it is a home game for the Hammers, which I think is an obvious advantage for them. Secondly, Manchester United could not be relied upon in a single game the entire season. I think you could toss a coin and be more sure about the outcome. Manchester United is more like a dice with six possible outcomes. The 5-1 by Liverpool against the Hammers does really not mean anything for this game and seriously, the Champions League can at best be a pipe dream that Manchester United has.
