Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Mr.suevie]

If Chelsea is losing this match, there is a problem. I don't care if it's a cup match or not. Chelsea should have won this match. It is obvious that there are problems in the goal path. Alarms are ringing in Chelsea after losing to a team from a lower league. Now it is necessary to seriously question why the players play like this.

I was also quite surprised when Chelsea lost to a team like that in the EFL Cup, because it is very unlikely that Chelsea would not consider that match to be important. Moreover, the opponent also came from a lower league so it was appropriate for Chelsea not to lose, but in reality it was very unexpected and it was completely beyond my reasoning. Because Chelsea usually often faces teams that are stronger than Middlesbrough in the Premier League.

Chelsea's performance since last season has been nothing to write home about,their pre-season was so good this season that everybody thought they were going to really compete for the tittle this season,but the reverse is the case,they have instead performed poorly to the extent they are now contemplating on changing their new coach that hasn't stayed for upto a season,It will be so sad if Chelsea should sack him because everybody loves him,he did so well while he was at Totthenham,but the problem was that he didn't win any trophy at Totthenham,but we hope his time at Chelsea shouldn't be thesame with when he was at Totthenham.

Every time i remember about Chelseas defeat i feel so disappointed at them. However, am not a Chelsea Fan but am more concerned because in my country Chelsea has the highest number of Fans. So, we always hear so many bragging how good they are and how they are the best club in England. When Arsenal lost to Liverpool, Chelsea all over the internet were battling the Arsenal Fans. But look who they lost to. A relegation club defeat them.

I can't wait for the EPL games to start i want to see the outcome of all the team. Now Manchester City is fully back i believe they will be a threat to Liverpool and Arsenal for the title race. I guess Cheslea can't be talking about the title because they are no title contenders. With their current perfromance it will take them 3 to 4 seasons to recover from their demise.

I don't know about how accurate the stats is when it comes to their fan base being the biggest here but I do know for sure that all football fans do brag about their clubs, it's what make them the games beautiful and passionate. Chelsea are really facing hard times likewise same as Manchester united but I think to some level Chelsea case is more worse and I don't know what will be of them come of the end of the premier league season if they continue like this. As for Manchester united and ten hag, I really don't know what to say but I do hope they too can recover from their poor form because watching or playing them on bets is really annoying seeing them playing abstract results.

Manchester United vs Tottenham will be the most anticipated match this week in addition to some matches that might run quite balanced like between Brighton vs Wolves.
Manchester United will always be in doubt especially facing Tottenham who are much better than them this season at least that's what can be seen in how Manchester United has suffered 9 defeats while Tottenham are only 5x in 20 matches, Tottenham managed to score 42 goals while United only 22 goals and worse more conceded than goals scored by United.
The home factor is also not an advantage for Manchester United because this season has lost at least 4x at home and only 1 difference with 5x away defeats. This will be a difficult match for both but Tottenham although not the favored team will have a chance to get a point, their obstacle may be that Son has to defend his country in the Asian Cup so he will not play even though he is quite the foundation of Tottenham so far, so there may be weaknesses in their appearance later.

The new owners would be around to measure and watch Manchester United for the first time since he was handed the percentage of the club he bought completely.

After the win against Wigan, only a few impressed though, but Tottenham Hotspur should've also some of them key members absent. I see they're not interested in getting new set of players, they just want thee manager to handle the squad until the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur have finally completed the switch for that defender and Timo Werner, they're desperate to finish top four. It also shows Eric Dier would be definitely leaving soon.

I am curious to see how much the new owners can do about this. I know that the former owners sometimes came across as if they were not interested in the fate of Manchester United anymore. I know it doesn't make sense as this would also push the value of the club lower and that can't be in their own interest, but I think if there is no passion anymore from the club owners to be seen, it is time for a huge change and we got that change now.

We all know the Glazers are complete potholes, selfish and cares only about the profit they try to raise from Manchester United, they're not really interested in selling no even making the right investment in the area's of the club they're suppose to do that.
They no longer have nothing to offer the club Manchester United, they should kindly leave completely.

The new owners I never wanted to get the club but the Saudi Arabian didn't come to agreement with the glazers who was after taking a share even if they wanted it sold.
Manchester United anyways would win his game.

People still gets disappointed from Chelsea performance, I have remove them since first week of December from my favorite teams for gambling. I don't pick them to win and I don't their rival to win because I don't know them again. The last time I check their standing on the table was the same early December and I check and then they remain where I left them, 8 win 8 loss and 4 draw, damn Todd Boehly is a calm man. If I'm the owner, my hot temper would have sent him a sack letter to live my fucking club for his incompetent.

How can you have 70 ball possession and can't make a simple chance, all their shot on target were useless and conversion was poor. Been in Premier League is a privilege and hardwork, when a team of Premier League has a match from another team from other leagues, it shouldn't be ground breaking thing to do, more like a soft work but Chelsea made it look like impossible miracle. Maybe the next time they start having less fans coming to watch the team matches, the owner will become proactive person.

Chelsea team is just going up and down and just remaining comfortable being at mid of the league. They’re not even an option one should have the guts to play a bet on because their matches are always unpredictable. The owner being calm, I think because he’s got zero knowledge and passion for football. The match against Middlesbrough was one that was too frustrating too watch.

 Why posses the ball so much yet create no clear chance at goal and you’re playing against a team in the lower division. For Crying out loud, you’re bigger and better than this team so why make it look as if you’re dragging with them. This should be a clear victory for you. I think the fans are only keeping cool because they win some and loose some, but that's football for you, if you don't work very hard enough to improve you'll either drop or remain stagnant.

Chelsea coach has so many things to do to fix Chelsea back to were people will be seeing the improvement of the new coach because, Chelsea president is not happy about what is happening to the team, upon huge amount of money he spend to signed in players and coach in the summer but their results still remain low.

The FC cup game yesterday made many people to lose hope on Chelsea in this season for allowed small team to beat them in their home without allowed Chelsea to secure a single goal from the game, and it make the team to look weak team in the eye of other teams.

[Abu-Naim]

If you still believe in Pochettino, but I will say that I don't believe that Pochettino is able to bring Chelsea to higher achievements, whereas Pochettino has wasted too much money to get new players, but in reality, Chelsea hasn't made any changes and isn't that just a waste?
A change of management might be one of the best ways to bring about this change, but as you said, this all requires a long process and for the time being it is better for Chelsea to start getting a more experienced coach or getting players who have great skills.

The money Pochettino spent was the desire of the team owners to sign the best and expensive players in the world and they achieve that by signing players with very high money even players that did not worth that amount. In fact, Chelsea made the transfer summer very tough then because they were ready to pump in money for every player they want so that other teams cannot signed them.

Pochettino on the other hand has not been a successful manager for long that is why he was sacked while managing PSG. At PSG, he has all the players a good coach will need to win the Champions League but failed due to his inability to manage good and quality players to success; he was also unable to win any trophy while coaching Tottenham, I don't think he can lead Chelsea to the right place this season because he has all the players he needs, and yet no consistency.

I doubt that they do not care about the fate of the club, for them it is primarily business and money, and a lot of money and in their interests that the club would grow and win. So I think changes will start soon and the first change will be a change of coach, because now the team is in 8th place, I doubt that they will be able to get into the top 5 this season, if nothing is changed.

Liverpool vs Fulham tonight in the 1st leg of the EFL Cup. Hopefully we can win by a couple of goals to take a nice lead to the 2nd leg at Craven Cottage.

The former Chelsea and Arsenal player made Fulham win now because of his goal against the goal guarded by Kelleher at the Anfiled Stadium.
Kelleher was trusted by Klopp to appear as a starter in the EFL Cup.
The return goal will probably come in the second half because Liverpool performed well during the first half.

I was surprised to see Middlesborough beat Chelsea last night, although I expect Chelsea to turn that round at Stamford Bridge.

The defeat against Middlesbrough can be answered with a higher goal aggregate at Stamford Bridge in the second leg.

Virgil Van Dirk was poor with that contest of the ball, he shouldn't have let that go past him, a tactical foul wouldn't have seen him carded he wasn't effective and I'll blame him for that goal scored.

Brave of the Brazilian William who sent that one pass Liverpool goalkeeper.

Liverpool anyways have pressured and pressed hard, they just haven't hit the nail with the hammer. Too many chances missed last night, how do you expect them to win?

[Dzwaafu11]

Chelsea's first leg match was very disappointing even though their opponents were a weak team, even in the Championship, Middlesbrough was ranked 12th in the standings. In this match, Chelsea actually had many opportunities to equalize the score or make a comeback after Middlesbrough scored a goal by Hayden Hackney in the first half, but Chelsea were unlucky in this match.

Chelsea are not in good form. Chelsea have lost to clubs there even weaker than Middlesbrough, so therefore I was not much surprised to see this result, although we all know that Chelsea had many chances to win but they failed to do that, which was very disappointing to them because the team was not even strong enough to score that first goal. In the fact that they were lucky enough to score that goal, I was thinking that Chelsea would make a return and give us a positive result after the match, but things don’t go that way.

Liverpool have made a great comeback in only three minutes.    Nunez and Gakpo entered the game and changed the direction of the game completely all of a sudden. Nunez made 2 assists and Gakpo scored one of the goals. Klopp has really made a great impact on the game with substitutions. I assume Fulham wouldn't be able to answer from now on.

Liverpool should have got ahead in the first place but still it is nice to see them back in the game now. I wouldn't like to see them losing like Chelsea did. Chelsea's result was also surprising to me as they were really dominant. 

[Stable090]

what is being discussed concerns Chelsea's defeat against Middlesbrough in the EFL Semifinal Leg 1. 1-0 is a very small score and it is likely that Chelsea will get back more than 2 goals in the 2nd leg.
Chelsea are not bad, but I think they have been inconsistent this season in maintaining their best form.
Middlesbrough is not a strong opponent for Chelsea. Yesterday's 1-0 defeat was due to luck favoring Middlesbrough.

Do you think the second leg will be easy for Chelsea? The mistake Chelsea made was allowing them to win the first leg even though the goal difference is not that much. Middlesbrough will want to play a defensive game in the second leg of the match, they will want to do everything possible to stop Chelsea from scoring. What I am expecting from Middlesbrough in the second leg is just a pure defensive game, but let’s see how the match goes. Chelsea should be able to win in the second leg of the match.

Betting over 2.5 on the 2nd leg of the EFL semi-final at home to Chelsea is a rational choice according to my analysis. Some may not dare to bet on Chelsea winning because Chelsea's performance has fluctuated. But for me, betting on Chelsea winning is a very likely chance to win.

Definitely, everyone will be scared to place a bet on Chelsea to win due to their unstable performance this season. Chelsea are unpredictable, they are just full of surprises this season, but I also think Chelsea should be able to win their second match, am also going to place bet on Chelsea to win, with just little amount of money.

This current Chelsea squad are seriously too young for any coach to have an immediate impact on. The injuries are piling up and it is disorganizing the whole style of play of any coach will have intended. Pochettino isn’t that a world class coach to me but still wouldn’t blame him all for this current mess the club is into. His decision making sometimes mostly during substitutions are somehow bizarre but the club overall is in trouble. They need a good recruitment team and not just signing any player.

Pochettino time at PSG we’re mixed, he actually did won some trophies but the major reason he lost his job just like the likes of Tuchel by failing to win the champions league. The same case that is happening to  Chelsea now is the same that is happening to PSG they lack better recruitment department and only recruit players base on the name they players had and not base on a club structure

Middlesbrough is not a strong opponent for Chelsea. Yesterday's 1-0 defeat was due to luck favoring Middlesbrough.

I also don’t see it much as a problem especially considering that Chelsea will be playing at home, the score line is really not much and with just a goal everything will bee leveled. Middlesbrough will come so prepared with the intention of winning and defending their goal and Chelsea will come out fully prepared as well because it would be a slap on their face if they get Eliminated by Middlesbrough after coming this far. Chelsea might be inconsistent but they should be able to win them after two legs, they had a lot of chances to score but failed to utilize the chances.

[kawetsriyanto]

Manchester City are no longer the powerhouse we saw dominate the premier league for four seasons in a row. Losing Mahrez, Gundogan, e.t.c really affected the team’s performance this season because Manchester City were playing better than they are performing now without the departed players. I am looking forward to one or two additions this January for Manchester City to boost the team’s competitiveness.

I think Man City is still a strong team but they just can't play consistently as the previous season. Sure, losing Gundogan and Mahrez makes Man City to play weaker, but they still can deal with the situation if all they key players are available. What makes them to play worse is some key players injured for a long time (Haaland, De Bruyne, Rodri). Now, De Bruyne and Rodri have recovered, we can see they can play better in the last few matches. If Haaland can recover faster, we can expect that Man City to return to the top of EPL standings again. You must realize the point gap between the top 4 isn't really far, Man City is still possible to win the title.

I still don't read the news that Man City bought new players. But it will be great if they improve their squad with new players. Man City needs better players in defense line. Specifically for left and right backs, they new players in these positions. I think the current players are no longer very competitive, Man City must plan to change them.

How did Bobby De Cordova- Reid of Fulham play Fulltime tonight? Believe me the coach was poor for not substituting this particular player off this game.

He failed to square a ball which should have made it two goals already. Poor decision making and lacked the awareness to scan your pitch.

Great to see they trailed and finally got to win the game. Hopes still alive, it does looks like Chelsea and Liverpool will still win and face off in the Semi finals.

Middlesbrough is not a strong opponent for Chelsea. Yesterday's 1-0 defeat was due to luck favoring Middlesbrough.

There's a chance Chelsea might win the second leg, but I can't be totally sure because of how they are being playing this season. Despite that, Chelsea is still the favorite to win and qualify for the final from my observations. I know Chelsea had some not so good games, but they have better players than Middlesbrough. Even if Middlesbrough won once, it was more luck than skill. Chelsea was in control throughout, creating five chances to score, while Middlesbrough only managed two shots on goal. So, even though Chelsea had a tough season, they're likely to come out on top in this match and move forward.

Betting over 2.5 on the 2nd leg of the EFL semi-final at home to Chelsea is a rational choice according to my analysis. Some may not dare to bet on Chelsea winning because Chelsea's performance has fluctuated. But for me, betting on Chelsea winning is a very likely chance to win.

In the upcoming match between Middlesbrough and Chelsea, I have a feeling that not many goals, specifically more than 2.5, might happen. This belief stems from my observations that Middlesbrough seems likely to adopt a defensive strategy against Chelsea. In this scenario, I predict that Chelsea may find it challenging to score many goals. However, predicting the outcome of a game is uncertain, so we'll have to wait and see what actually occurs. If I were to place a bet on the Chelsea against Middlesbrough game, I would prefer to bet on Chelsea winning rather than on there being more than 2.5 goals, considering the defensive patterns Middlesbrough may employ.

If you are scared that Chelsea are going to lose the game, why not place the bet against Chelsea. This the odd for Chelsea to lose that game is going to be big and you know Chelsea has been losing lots of games this season. Chelsea must not win a game before you win a bet.

Specifically for left and right backs, they new players in these positions. I think the current players are no longer very competitive, Man City must plan to change them.

I think the most impostant players for Manchester city now are De Bruyne and Rodri. Without these two, they look not well-organized team at attacking and defending counter-attacks. The recent return of of De Bruyne and Rodri has already shown improvements in their gameplay, and if Haaland can recover quickly, it could indeed bolster their chances of reclaiming the top spot in the Premier League.

While the point gap in the top 4 isn't insurmountable, I'd like to point out that the competition in the Premier League is fierce, and every match is crucial. Having key players back in the lineup is undoubtedly a positive sign for City's title ambitions. Regarding new player acquisitions, strengthening the defensive line sounds like a reasonable strategy. Maybe they need to play with natural fulbacks instead of Centerbacks, like Gvardiol or Ake, to play wide. A solid defense is often the foundation for success in any competition.

This current Chelsea squad are seriously too young for any coach to have an immediate impact on. The injuries are piling up and it is disorganizing the whole style of play of any coach will have intended. Pochettino isn’t that a world class coach to me but still wouldn’t blame him all for this current mess the club is into. His decision making sometimes mostly during substitutions are somehow bizarre but the club overall is in trouble. They need a good recruitment team and not just signing any player.

Pochettino time at PSG we’re mixed, he actually did won some trophies but the major reason he lost his job just like the likes of Tuchel by failing to win the champions league. The same case that is happening to  Chelsea now is the same that is happening to PSG they lack better recruitment department and only recruit players base on the name they players had and not base on a club structure

Of course Chelsea need time to show significant changes in their progress. If any coach is faced with the situation experienced by Chelsea, they will definitely need time to restore glory to Chelsea, so in conditions like this, management must give Pochettino time to polish the squad to be strong in the second half of this season. Last season, Chelsea performance was quite bad, even in the last summer transfer window they made quite big changes to the team by recruiting many young players and selling many of their players.

Therefore, Chelsea management has made a lot of efforts to build the team and the fans must be patient to see Chelsea impressive performance in the Premier League. So in this situation of course the coach needs time in his work so it is not surprising that Chelsea have not been able to recover this season because they are not well organized enough in their game.

I do not understand what both of you are talking about. I mean even Chelsea management themselves know that Chelsea is bad, all the Chelsea fans can attest to this very fat that Chelsea has not been what they used to be since two seasons ago, even the current Chelsea coach can tell you that Chelsea team is very bad. So what are you both trying to justify, that a ligue 1 club Middlesbrough hard to score Chelsea and win the match that lasted for more than 90 minutes and you are here saying that Chelsea is good, that they will come back in the second leg.

Well, the best thing to do about Chelsea condition is to stop considering them as a big team for now until they prove us wrong. Do not expect anything much from Chelsea this season at least they should end up in top 10 of the English Premier League and not get a relegated it is okay for them.

[youdacapt]

Of course Chelsea need time to show significant changes in their progress.  

I do disagree, i believe that chelsea need a new manager or coach to show significant changes in the clubside progress on the pitch, performance wise and also trophy wise.
You do not need a world class 11, to defeat a Middlesbrough championship side missing 10 players in the carabao cup semi final.

Making excuses for Pochetinno makes it harder for him. Meanwhile, Liverpool come back fromm a goal down to winn 2-1 at home to fulham at the other semi final of the carabao cup with goals from Curtis Jones and Gakpo
