Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Cryptomultiplier]

I think Arsenal could be one of the top four teams in the league, but I know Arsenal's goal is more than the top four. That's why Arsenal is still racing for the title. Together with a quality striker, they will increase their chances of achieving this. The league title is very important for Arsenal because they have been trying to get it for years.

Arsenal would most likely be amongst the top four teams when the current season ends. And yes, their aim is much more than just finishing amongst the top four. Last season, they played well but sadly couldn’t maintain the lead and fell behind, giving Manchester City the lead and ultimately the EPL title last season.
They’ve been somewhat inconsistent in their performances and have lost out on some games that they would have ordinarily had won. They still have a shot at the title but they do need to step up in their efforts. I do think they’ve got the right players  to get them where they need to be. The top of the table.

I agree with you on Arsenal's season potential. They've had ups and downs. We fans have struggled with their inconsistency, right? Be honest—the season is far from done. With 18 matches left, Mikel Arteta and the team can turn things around.

Last season's mistake, which gave Manchester City the trophy, was hard to accept. Arsenal is still in good shape overall. All is at stake with Man City and Liverpool nearby. I think they should avoid end-of-season stumbles. It'll be challenging, especially with Liverpool and Aston Villa, but it's doable. Arsenal has talent, no doubt. That must be channeled into more consistent performances. If they can, who knows? We may see them at the top of the table where we think they belong.

Talent isn't enough for the Arsenal team. They need a scoring team. More players who can create chances like Saka. That is, with all the talent in the squad, a play maker or two should be enough to dribble in the heart of an opponents half and either score or assist.
Arteta played under Arsene Wenger and saw how this was necessary.
The team also needs to try to work on scoring goals through header, set pieces and corners more, because besides their current performance and position, almost any team playing them fear not from any of their set pieces, because they would rather pass and shoot rather than from crossing passes and set pieces.

Well, even though Arsenal have had some bad results recently, that doesn't mean that Arsenal have lost the title race this season. Because there is still a lot of time left. There are still at least 18 matches this season that Mikel Arteta and his troops, namely the Arsenal squad, must really take advantage of this season to reach the top of the standings. Currently Arsenal has the same number of points as Manchester City but has a 5 point difference with Liverpool who are at the top of the standings. Well this won't be easy for Arsenal. But they still have a chance.

Last season they almost got it. But they slipped at the end of the season and made Manchester City once again lift the trophy last season. This time Arsenal must work harder and must not repeat the same mistakes as last season. Moreover, currently Liverpool and Aston Villa are also in the title race this season. Which makes things not easy.

In my opinion, last season Arsenal only had one step left towards the trophy, but now the story is quite different because Liverpool are back in the hunt. The club is in the most difficult condition for opponents to beat while Arsenal is still having difficulty when required to be more aggressive in the mental condition of their players who no longer have full strength. Arsenal has really dreamed of the EPL trophy for years this time the situation of competing with Man City and Liverpool is the biggest wall that Arteta cannot break down. The remaining 18 matches plus their schedule in the UCL can be said to be more difficult than last season.

Lukaku is no longer suitable for the EPL. Actually, we cannot say that he is very old. He is 30 years old not old actually, he is so tall and he loses his speed, so in my opinion, he is not suitable anymore. It would be best for him to stay in Italy, if such a wish even exists.

This player is no longer on Chelsea's agenda. In order to get out of these problems, they need to decide on the right players again to be a competitive team in the EPL.

I think he is a player who fits into very specific team profiles with the qualities he has. Age isn't the problem yet and I wouldn't generalize the thesis that he can't play well in the Premier League. I think he can, but he needs the right team around him that in turn needs what Lukaku has to offer. I don't see that as the Premier League is mostly about high speed and running up and down. He is a powerful striker who knows how to keep the ball closely to his body, how to keep the distance between him and his opponents and to gain time for other players to move up the pitch. He is also good at making quick moves in the box despite his massive body. But most clubs are looking for the Haalands and Mbappes and Vini Juniors. He isn't like that.

Through its official page on Twitter, Manchester United officially parted ways with Sergio Reguilon after working together after half a season. Sergio Reguilon will return to Spurs and will be part of coach Ange's squad. At the start of this season, Manchester United had to make emergency transfers because many of their defensive players were injured, so they had to look for wing-back options to strengthen their defensive links. Luckily they were able to get Sergio Reguilon on loan for half a season.

Now the Red Devils are definitely ready to embark on another half season and several of their players have now returned from injury and of course they will still use the same players and will not change them until this season ends. It also looks like they won't buy any more defenders this January.

Reguilon is a good player but yeah at United he himself has found it hard time getting regular playing chances. With Spurs also I feel it will be kinda same but at least at Spurs there is positive vibe right now inside the dressing room. Anyway I think, with this he himself has found in the same position as at Tottenham Udogie seems to be the regular lineup choice for Postecoglou.

As for Red devils, I think situation is still the same. Let's see how ten Haag led United performs in the second half.

Yes, Erik Ten Hag often rotates and actually that doesn't have much of an effect considering his defense line is still weak. I think Reguilon's arrival is only as a cover if other players are underperforming then he will fill that position and vice versa. We know that Erik Ten Hag's strategy is very unclear and he often makes mistakes in rotating his players. I think it doesn't matter if Reguilon doesn't get a place because of his previous departure to Manchester United, at least he is in the right team rather than being at Manchester United for longer.

I think Erik Ten Hag will still have difficulties and it's all because his abilities are felt to be lacking in a competition this competitive and I think that can't be avoided. On the other hand, the players sometimes play as a team but sometimes not like before. But that's Manchester United now everything is completely unstable.

[shinratensei_]

No one will ever bet on Chelsea to win the Premier League title at the end of this season and even if Chelsea makes many changes in the teams and hires many players to have better performances, I still don't think if they can have any good chance for winning the title and as you said the best thing they can do at the end of this season is to just get the Europe League ticket for the next season which still hard for a team like Chelsea considering the results they got so far.

Is really funny, even the owner won't try betting on Chelsea to win the league even if they managed to be at the top I still believe they'll drop and the better team would win the league. Well that's by the way but this Chelsea team can still make it to the top 4 if they work harder and continue winning games, they can surpass Manchester United because I see a serious team coming out of Chelsea and they can do it. Pochettino need to introduce both Jackson and Broja, playing them as the strikers with Nkunku and the other guys to force in more pressure on any opponent they meet and I believe it will be in there favor, they can make the fans smile this year.

People are just willing to be realistic with the performance of chelsea. The performance of chelsea is far from good. Im even refrain from myself to bet on this club.

Honestly, i never ever try to pick chelsea but i can still consider to pick double chance or total over in the match of chelsea but it will not for 1x2 which didn't even make sense. Chelsea's performance was unbelievable.

Pochettino is still having a very long way to go in improving the performance from chelsea. Let's see how much money is going to be spent by the club soon. I expect todd to spend more money.

I think Arsenal could be one of the top four teams in the league, but I know Arsenal's goal is more than the top four. That's why Arsenal is still racing for the title. Together with a quality striker, they will increase their chances of achieving this. The league title is very important for Arsenal because they have been trying to get it for years.

Arsenal will do better than just stopping at the top four, Arsenal is great but they just like falling in my hand after saying so much about them winning the trophy, and now we are talking about the top four that is just disappointing if they should be put more effort it would much easier to even win the premier league than winning the champions league and if we don't get serious it will even get more difficult for us to win any trophy now. because now Manchester City is already getting their head back in the game game and Liverpool is another challenge on its own.

Arsenal would most likely be amongst the top four teams when the current season ends. And yes, their aim is much more than just finishing amongst the top four. Last season, they played well but sadly couldn’t maintain the lead and fell behind, giving Manchester City the lead and ultimately the EPL title last season.
They’ve been somewhat inconsistent in their performances and have lost out on some games that they would have ordinarily had won. They still have a shot at the title but they do need to step up in their efforts. I do think they’ve got the right players  to get them where they need to be. The top of the table.

That is if we don't win the trophy then if we get to a situation where we can not win then we going to be among the top four it is very certain and if not that arsenal is not winning when they are supposed to win they will top and eventually still come down, there is no lies in what your saving what happened last season will still happen this season but what is pissing me off is don't arsenal ever learn, if their is no difference between last season and this season then shows that arsenal is not progressing. because they have maintained that position for too long their aim now is to win not how to make the top four. maybe they ain't tired of failing because Arsenal is not giving their best at all.

Age is not a problem but still, we must also realize what kind of player will still play well in a difficult competition like the Premier League. Because after all, not all old players can play well in the Premier League and ya, at least Lukaku falls into this category. After all, Lukaku also only shone when he was still playing at Everton but yes, after Lukaku played for Chelsea and Manchester United at least Lukaku failed to give the best results.

Therefore, in this case it is no longer about age that is taken into consideration, but Lukaku's style of play which is suitable in Serie A as was his success when Lukaku played at Inter. So ya, I think it is not right if Lukaku returns to play in the Premier League but yes, if there are still teams in the Premier League who are willing to recruit Lukaku, of course it is not a problem but with a note ready with the risk.

There is a possibility for Arsenal to end up among the top teams in this premier league competition but the opportunity to lift the trophy this season is not there and, you can verify to see that it will be difficult for Arsenal to come up to the first position because Liverpool have convinced many people that they have the strength to finish this season well.

 I guess Arsenal performed well in this season than last season because Manchester city and Arsenal was the two teams that many people focused that will be the lucky team to win the trophy but Arsenal failed at the end that gave Manchester city opportunity to lift the trophy last season but Manchester city will not be the lucky team in this season just because some of the injuries problem their players are facing in this season.

You shouldn't be scared of betting on the Blues because this team is full of hidden surprises this year, but that's not really the main issue. Pochettino shouldn't go to the transfer market this January because he already have the players to make this team become unstoppable force but something is lacking in the Chelsea team that's not getting them that craze win especially when they play against a smaller team. I have that believe that if Chelsea or rather Pochettino look for a player within the squad and make him the key man in that midfield to create chances, give killer passes just like KDB does at Manchester City, I think Chelsea are good to go. But going to spend more money again is just worthless to me, the team is fully occupied to me, so Todd should forget about spending this transfer window.

Most of the Injured players for Manchester United would be returning in this second half of the season and one of the includes Malacia who have been a huge part of the club from last season. Seeing this players returning means that, Sergio Regulon would not have enough chance to play no more. I love the player personally, I've always wanted his move to Manchester United but he choosed Tottenham Hotspur due to the influence of Jose Mourinho.

I can remember how well he did against Bayern Munich and it'll forever remain up in my head. I bid him good luck in the next six months ahead with Tottenham Hotspur, he's a good player and deserves more playing time he should honestly leave the club in search of a club he could have enough chance and play time.

Since Udogie Destiny is doing well for Tottenham, Hotspur, Regulon wouldn't get that chance except injury permits.

Chelsea has made big moves in the last transfer market but there has been no major change in his performance even though the club has spent a lot of money to bring in quality players. Yes, the performance of Chelsea is far from good, Pochettino has not been able to make Chelsea appear like Arsenal led by Arteta.
Chelsea is not the only big EPL club that has performed poorly this season, Manchester United has also had the same fate as Chelsea. Their performances are still fluctuating and these two clubs are in danger of failing to appear in European competition next season.

a team like Manchester United should not be like it is now, with a great coach and many star players they should be able to compete at least in the top 4 EFL teams, yes I agree I see Manchester players playing too individually, they play like they are not a team there is no unity like a team should,
In my opinion, Erik ten Hag is not the right coach for Manchester United, after what ETH has done so far at Manchester United, it looks like an ordinary team that has not progressed in a better direction.
Manchester United should immediately look for a coach who can truly combine their players into a cohesive team. I would like to see Manchester United when in the hands of SAF all players play the same role in the team, no player plays individually.

Finding the right club to utilize his abilities to the fullest is not an easy job and we don't know which club is suitable for him. He failed to give his best when he was at Chelsea and that illustrates that it is not easy to find the right club for a player with his characteristics.
I also think that Serie A is more suitable for him, he could perform well when he was with Inter Milan, and now when with AS Roma his performance did not disappoint, and we must have answers when comparing between when he was at Chelsea and now.
Indeed, one of the reasons why he failed at Chelsea was because he was injured at the time, but when he returned from injury the fact is that there was no significant change that he could show at that time. It is possible that the style of play in the Premier League does not really suit him, especially if he is not in a club that can help him well.

Arsenal top priority is to win the EPL title this season and even last season, however the team isn't formidable enough to win it as we all know that the team lack consistency and lack of depth in their squad, if one or two key players in the team is injured there isn't a perfect alternative to fill the gap thus the team struggle to win or even lose winnable matches, from my own point of view the team can only clinch top 4 spot the team should be reinforce with more quality players next summer to be able to win the title next season I think their third attempt to win the league would be realistic if the squad is formidable enough.

Lukaku is still 30 years old like son. It's so strange to see that if we are linking his performance to the his age as the factor that was affecting his performance.
Despite already performing well in Serie A, Lukaku has the potential to further improve, which demonstrates that as long as he continues to receive playing opportunities, he will continue to excel. The most important thing to remember if none trust him in EPL. Why does he need to waste his time in EPL while none believes him to play? Even pochettino was not seriously approaching him to play again for chelsea. It must be noted that if lukaku is still under contract with chelsea. This is going to be another problem caused by lukaku can leave as free agent soon. Chelsea needs to sell him as soon as possible. I have heard that several candidates have been appearing to send an offer for lukaku. Roma must be the one of them caused by lukaku helped roma a lot.  that's also the reason of him to leave from EPL then join in the serie a. He knew serie a team can put more respect toward him. EPL club needs to consider him back again.
I have heard totenham has interest to recruit him but lukaku rejected it.

Arsenal will do better than just stopping at the top four, Arsenal is great but they just like falling in my hand after saying so much about them winning the trophy, and now we are talking about the top four that is just disappointing if they should be put more effort it would much easier to even win the premier league than winning the champions league and if we don't get serious it will even get more difficult for us to win any trophy now. because now Manchester City is already getting their head back in the game game and Liverpool is another challenge on its own.

Yes, they have to. Arsenal failed last season to finish at the top but that was different thing as injuries got us near the conclusion of the season but this season Arsenal have been busy in the transfer windows and we have signed some really good players and have spent a lot of money so this season they have to finish at the top. It really hurts to see them being inconsistent when they had all the advantage. Still I am glad that they have advanced in CL but they have to do good in PL too. We are making the same mistakes we did last season. We need that confidence back again that we used to have otherwise it will be same thing over and over again.

@Oluwa-btc I wouldn’t underestimate Fulham because in cup competitions they’ll be more determined to win hence Liverpool will have to step up if they have to beat Fulham. Furthermore Poch will need two to three seasons to turn Chelsea into genuine title contenders but I’m not sure if Chelsea owner will allow him time but if he somehow gets it then I’m sure he’ll transform them.

Fulham are. no match to Liverpool, you can go do your checks in the last five games they've played, and five head to head fixtures included. I play soccer and I know how to respect opponents very well. This is nothing new to me. But currently, they've just lost three if not four of the last four games in the Premier League Competition. This a game to be played soon ( Come Next Week ). Just a little bothered with the absence of Mo Salah.

For Mauricio Pochetino, I don't even think he'll be the coach to win them the Premier League. He fails with PSG having Lionel Messi and Neymar Junior, Yes?
Then, Say no more Man!! He's not the man for Chelsea. I still can't just conclude completely, he'll be hungry and ambitious after all of his career failures from Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint Germany.

[lizarder]

Chelsea don't need a striker now bringing back Lukaku would be counterproductive he doesn't fit in to Chelsea style of play, Pochettino needed to do more work on Jackson and I believe with time and more playing time he is going to improve, this is his first season in the club and it's not easy to adapt to physicality of EPL recall when Didier Drogba first arrived Stanford Bridge he also experience poor start for Chelsea after the first season he picked form and remain consistent through out, moreso Nkunku who just came back from injury is another alternative striker whom I believe if fully fit would score a lot of goals for Chelsea and with the exit of Jackson to AFCON he will enjoy a regular playing time.  

It's not a question of whether they need it or not, but rather whether Chelsea will make mistakes like before or whether they are looking for another striker who is much more productive than Lukaku who has played there. If they want to be competitors in the Premier League then in my opinion they need to bring in one more striker so that there are several strikers available for the team's needs. Jackson hasn't fully adapted yet so it will take a lot of time for him to adjust and the league continues so Chelsea needs to prepare for that.

Maatsen is also still not showing his best abilities in the team and I think there are many Chelsea players currently still having difficulty adapting to Pochettino's coaching style. It can be seen how bad the performance they showed while playing and they still had quite a hard time getting points.

Arsenal would most likely be amongst the top four teams when the current season ends. And yes, their aim is much more than just finishing amongst the top four. Last season, they played well but sadly couldn’t maintain the lead and fell behind, giving Manchester City the lead and ultimately the EPL title last season.
They’ve been somewhat inconsistent in their performances and have lost out on some games that they would have ordinarily had won. They still have a shot at the title but they do need to step up in their efforts. I do think they’ve got the right players  to get them where they need to be. The top of the table.

Arsenal top priority is to win the EPL title this season and even last season, however the team isn't formidable enough to win it as we all know that the team lack consistency and lack of depth in their squad, if one or two key players in the team is injured there isn't a perfect alternative to fill the gap thus the team struggle to win or even lose winnable matches, from my own point of view the team can only clinch top 4 spot the team should be reinforce with more quality players next summer to be able to win the title next season I think their third attempt to win the league would be realistic if the squad is formidable enough.

Arsenal opportunity to win the Premier League this season is still open, they are 5 points adrift of the current leaders, Liverpool can still be caught, because there are still 18 matches remaining. But of course Arteta squad can no longer lose points, the depth of Arteta squad is also very good compared to last season. So I think Arsenal still has a big chance to continue competing in the hunt for trophies, just like Liverpool, Aston Villa and Man City.

All teams want luck in the form of a complete squad, without any players experiencing injuries. Because this really affects their chances of achieving their targets, of course not only in the Premier League, including in European competitions too. Currently, it is still very difficult to guess who will be the champion when the season ends, because the standings board has not yet been formed with a significant points gap.
