Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[BRINIRHA]

Chelsea really seemed to have difficulty maintaining the 1 goal lead they had obtained at the end of the first half from a penalty kick. It is indeed very sad to see Chelsea having to fight so hard to beat Fullham. Even without the opportunity for a penalty kick, this match would probably only end in a draw.

The good news about the game is that Chelsea secured three points that have moved them to eighth position. Yeah, the penalty was the only saving grace that the Blues had but we should also accept that they also created some great opportunities that would have extended the lead. I don't think that we should underrate any team in the premier league because all of them have what it takes to give a big team a fight. However, Chelsea should count themselves lucky to have a goalkeeper like Djordje Petrovic for several saves he made.

The good news is exactly as you said, that Chelsea won full points in this match and made them even above the rankings of Man Utd and Newcastle. And all the fans and Pochettino will also be happy with this result. It's just that a tougher challenge awaits Chelsea in the next match. But if in the next match it turns out that Chelsea can hold Liverpool to a draw then I think that will be great news. I also don't want to underestimate Chelsea. It's just that everyone's perception of the current Chelsea squad is not very positive. Therefore, Chelsea must fight harder to raise their ranking in the standings and regenerate the reputation of their club, which many people are starting to underestimate.

In the past, we knew that when we heard the word Chelsea, it would be a tough match for the opponents that Chelsea would face. But our current perception of Chelsea has been reversed. Because Chelsea's poor performance last season has really created a negative perception for the Chelsea club.

Surprisingly, Chelsea remains on track for a winning streak after beating Fulham at Stamford Bridge with a narrow score of 1-0 and perhaps the previous expectations that Fulham would give them trouble have finally been answered. Pochettino will definitely continue to improve his squad to be better and they really need win after win if they want and not be too late from the competition that is in a better position. Even though this victory only came from Cole Palmer's penalty kick, it was still a decent victory for Chelsea.

Chelsea is still not in a good situation even after spending too much money on this team they couldn't have a good performance.
The game against Fulham was one good example of a bad performance from Chelsea, they won the game with a 1-0 result but the fact about this game is Mauricio Pochettino and his player was lucky because even that one goal was from the penalty kick.

Chelsea won’t be said to be in their best form even after winning the match against Fulham. It was very obvious that they should have won the match with more margin than just a goal that was conceived from the penalty kick. They got more chance in this game but were unable to convert any of them to goals, this was a huge shock as I was expecting more after the first goal lead by them. Mauricio Pochettino and his players have continued their form with a win for them today which was suppose to be more goals than what was scored by them today.

I really wonder how Manchester would be able to do without a star like Kelvin De Bryune because whenever he's in the pitch of play, there's this confidence that Manchester city players normally have in them. Just look at the impact De Bryune made in tonight match this shows that he is really an important player that Manchester city cannot afford to lose. He has a distinct way of controlling the midfield without mistakes most of the time and the ability of the strikers to score is dependent on the coordination of the midfield and Kelvin De Bryune is always equal to the task

You are right that in the first half of this season, Manchester City lost their leader on the field because Kevin was injured, but in the second half of this season, Kevin De Bruyne returned to the Manchester City squad after recovering from his injury. He returned to the field as a substitute in today match but he managed to make this match go quite well because he contributed one goal in bringing Manchester City to victory in today match.

Apart from that, Kevin is really needed by his teammates because he is able to control the midfield quite well. For this reason, Manchester City really hopes that Kevin will not suffer another injury because this season the competition for the title has been very fierce because Liverpool and Aston Villa have appeared quite consistent so far. But unlike Arsenal, they have experienced setbacks recently. Now Manchester City is only two points away from Liverpool who are at the top of the standings, of course that is quite close if you look at the remaining matches this season.

Many people think that Chelsea are just lucky but the most important thing is 3 points in a row, maybe Chelsea are not in the best performance but at least they have more effort and luck comes through their efforts. Now Chelsea are in the 8th position and it takes 8 more points to compete with Tottenham in the 5th position, we know it's not easy but Chelsea only try to make the same effort in every match and collect points. At least Pochettino can relax with this successive wins the strategy was successful even though it was not optimal.

Today, Manchester City won the match dramatically. Newcastle took a 2-1 lead in the first half where a beautiful goal scored by Bernardo Silva was answered by two goals by Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. Since then Manchester City have found it really difficult to penetrate Newcastle's tight and disciplined defence, but De Bruyne came on and made a difference.

Manchester City, who played without their best striker, basically created lots of goal and shot opportunities, but Newcastle's tight defense meant that Manchester City failed to score a goal. Manchester City's 2 additional goals were scored by De Bruyne and Oscar Bobb, but Manchester City had to pay dearly for this victory because their best goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, was injured at the start of the match.

We have seen once again how important De Bruyne is for Manchester City.    It is really awesome to see this player changing the way a match is going to. Despite recovering a really short time ago he just continues from where he left. This is what I like at De Bruyne. He is always ready to give his 100% into a match.

It wasn't an easy day for Manchester City anyway but at least De Bruyne won the match for them. Haaland should also be back very soon. I have no doubt he also missed playing together with De Bruyne as they have a great chemistry.  

I really wonder how Manchester would be able to do without a star like Kelvin De Bryune because whenever he's in the pitch of play, there's this confidence that Manchester city players normally have in them. Just look at the impact De Bryune made in tonight match this shows that he is really an important player that Manchester city cannot afford to lose. He has a distinct way of controlling the midfield without mistakes most of the time and the ability of the strikers to score is dependent on the coordination of the midfield and Kelvin De Bryune is always equal to the task

I think we see what kind of a legend he is after six months of injury. We saw in the last match that De Bruyne is a key name and extremely important for this team, and he was included in the game later and could only play for half an hour. Newcastle United's striker Alexander Isak has a very high shooting percentage and is finishing well.

He scored one of his goals today. After his goal, Newcastle United scored another goal. They scored two goals in two shots, the other one was scored by Gordon, and City were surprised at what happened.

The game against Fulham was one good example of a bad performance from Chelsea, they won the game with a 1-0 result but the fact about this game is Mauricio Pochettino and his player was lucky because even that one goal was from the penalty kick.

Yeah it is a fact that cannot be denied that today Chelsea is really lucky but what is clear is that this win has a positive impact on Chelsea for their self-confidence and for optimal cohesiveness, Chelsea has collected 12 points from the last 5 matches and they managed to surpass Newcastle and Manchester United this is a good step to jump to a better place. But unfortunately Chelsea's next opponent is Liverpool as we know, Liverpool is currently ambitious to secure their position in the standings and stay away from Manchester City so I don't see Chelsea having a chance to get points not even for 1 point, one thing Chelsea can do is not to concede more goals.

Chelsea's performance was so awful and this is the fact. The club like being toothless in that game and that is what im thinking about chelsea now. No good attackers or striker. The club missed many opportunities and so many complaints were always coming anytime from the fans.
Pochettino never try to listed to the fans regarding the performance from chelsea. This makes some people were being very upset to him. The club was doing another setback by putting sterling in the game. This guy is nothing rather than a player that being so wasteful.
Chelsea was almost losing two points if fulham would able to score goal in the last game. There will be a serious match caused by chelsea will help city to climb up if it will able to beat liverpool.

The match against liverpool will begin on the first february. There is still enough time for chelsea to prepare everything. The club really need to get the momentum to go up. Chelsea can still get three points and avoid to repeat the same result like last season.
Pochettino shall no need to do another stupid thing that may be greatly impacting the club like changing the scheme anytime and put garbage player as regular starting line up.

I must be honest if sterling was a penalty hunter. He did dribble very often in the penalty box to get his opponent to do foul on him.

[coinlocket$]

Crazy win for Manchester City today.

Newcaste it is not at a decent level anymore, they need to spend 500mil next session to be competitive again.

Difficult game but three points is confidently accumulated today, a good way to bounce back to the league. We won today despite throwing vital chances of doubling the goals against Fulham. The game ended 1-0 in favour of Chelsea and I'm just happy that my team is no longer referred to as 10th FC because they have move forward to 8th position on the league table. This should be a good start for the Blues and the coach having good moements at Stamford Bridge, atleast his hope is revived and winning becomes his ultimate targets.

Based on the news, Haland will be able to compete again for the end of this month. Haaland has been doing a little training at the moment. In addition, defender John Stones is currently suffering from an ankle injury. De Bruyne's return also seems to give new confidence. Pep should start giving him more minutes. De Bruyne performed quite well, he also provided an assist.

Erling Haaland is one of the most prolific footballers in the world and if for any reason he returns to the club, Manchester City are gonna be a complete team once again. Today against Newcastle, City were trailing to the home sides quick first half goals but immediately Kelvin De Bruyne who has been injured since the start of the season was introduced, he changed the result of the game by scoring the equalizer and assisting the winner. So if Haaland returns again to the club, Manchester City without doubt are gonna be tearing teams apart and probably repeat their feat of last season by winning another treble

Now that the man himself is back I think we will be seeing magical wins like this from city because they have struggling without his presence and I doubt that they will struggle again because the moment the delivery are coming then the big man at the front line AKA goal machine will definitely net more goals and that's exactly what he did today. Kevin de bruyne influence on this game against Newcastle was a show piece that he knows exactly what's his doing and has positive impact on the team.

The most important thing is that the confidence of Chelsea players continues to increase so they can go through the next match with full strength, although Chelsea will face difficult opponents next week they must remain confident and targets one point. Besides, Chelsea has a good history when facing a strong team we still remember when Chelsea defeated the strong teams last month and they must be able to repeat it.

Many times Chelsea makes constant attempts to keep track on records as regards to the recovery in this season, and if you have being following up with the club since the season began, you will notice that consistency is what they have abide with and regardless of what comes it still a good fit for Chelsea is this season since their are now at the 8th position, I thought that Chelsea will struggle to atained they full potential even if their will not win the league or even be among top five clubs.

But I am sure that Chelsea is going to successfully finish the season within the top 10 on the premier leagues table in this season.

Besides, Chelsea has a good history when facing a strong team we still remember when Chelsea defeated the strong teams last month and they must be able to repeat it.

I'm not happy with Chelsea team, winning becomes a barrier for them in crucial moments, they have no confident stats in scoring goals rather they would dominate the pitch which they're popularly recognizable for. Chelsea have a good pattern of football but they lack the creativity of goal scoring opportunities on the pitch. For instance, concerning today's game against Fulham, they had good chances of netting more goals but couldn't because they're not solid in the frontline. Despite all the chances created, they only managed to net just a goal and it was a penalty stun by Cole Palmer.

[Strongkored]

Chelsea managed to win with difficulty against Fulham, they didn't play special because their defense was quite vulnerable to being penetrated by Fulham's players, but Fulham failed to convert several golden opportunities into goals, so a goal from Cole Palmer from the penalty point brought Chelsea to their ninth win of the season. The three points were enough to boost Chelsea's position to eighth position.
However, in the next match against Liverpool, they will face a match with different resistance. Chelsea has little chance of beating Liverpool and if they can repeat the results of the first meeting this season by holding Liverpool to a draw I think that is good enough, but Liverpool is maintaining their chances of becoming champions this season will play optimally, the problem is that Mohammad Salah will still play for Egypt at AFCON, Klopp's intelligence will be tested in choosing a temporary replacement for Salah so that nothing changes about Liverpool's performance without Salah.

We thought we wouldn't be seeing a great performance from Kevin de  Bruyne after a long injury  layoff. But Kevin  de Bruyne has proved us completely wrong. Kevin de Bruyne had  a great performance today  in his return to the team  after a long injury layoff. De Bruyne managed to score a nice goal. Haaland  missed the  match due to injury. If  Haaland and De Bruyne are able to perform as well as they did last season, Manchester City will be able to continue  their winning streak. Liverpool are now just two points behind Manchester City. Manchester City will  likely take the top spot in  the table if Liverpool drop a point in any match.

Chelsea's overall performance is still very erratic. However, we have seen a slight improvement in Chelsea's performance in the last few Premier League matches. They have won the last three matches. And the team has won four out of the last five matches. The team has won a total of 9 matches this season. And they have 4 wins in last 5 matches.

Chelsea's attacking players did not perform well against Fulham today. They scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot. But Chelsea's defense was very strong today. Fulham attacked a lot but they couldn't break Chelsea's defence. So I would say that the Chelsea coach should now improve the performance of the team's attacking players. And make the players more confident.

We have seen once again how important De Bruyne is for Manchester City.    It is really awesome to see this player changing the way a match is going to. Despite recovering a really short time ago he just continues from where he left. This is what I like at De Bruyne. He is always ready to give his 100% into a match.

It wasn't an easy day for Manchester City anyway but at least De Bruyne won the match for them. Haaland should also be back very soon. I have no doubt he also missed playing together with De Bruyne as they have a great chemistry.  

Because Kevin is a very smart and skillful player so it's easy for him to find a place in a match. He is a type of player who does not need to spend too much energy to run around and we can see a bigger example, Messi. We see how Argentina's coach and players tried to free Messi from many tasks and allowed him to run very little, just walk around and only run when Argentina needs him for attacking.

Kevin is more energetic than Messi but I see something similar on their skills and vision to avoid too much energy waste for physical fight.

Chelsea's overall performance is still very erratic. However, we have seen a slight improvement in Chelsea's performance in the last few Premier League matches. They have won the last three matches. And the team has won four out of the last five matches. The team has won a total of 9 matches this season. And they have 4 wins in last 5 matches.

They are now above Manchester United and Newcastle United so we can not ignore Chelsea improvement in Premier League. With 31 points, they are 9 points less than Arsenal at the fourth position and Arsenal has one match to play. It looks impossible for Chelsea to get in top four but they can try and at least can aim at a position to join Europa League or Conference League in a next season.

It is a little surprise to see Newcastle United began to fall down more on the table like this and a group stage of Champions League affected them a lot by focus too much on those matches and lost concentration for Premier League.

[EFS]

After every single goal, Pep was as happy as if he was the champion. As if he hadn't been champion 5 out of the last 6 seasons.
When Manchester City are this ambitious, it's hard for other teams. De Bruyne came back and 20 minutes was enough for City to get 3 points. When De Bruyne and Haaland play together, City will be able to win every game again.
Arsenal gifted the leadership with their results in the last 5 weeks. It only takes Liverpool one game to fall behind. The inevitable is coming.

Many people think that Chelsea are just lucky

I think the criticisms are right and genuine; It was a lucky win which also showed the usual chelsea team we watch weekly under pochetino (Not good enough), such performances cannot continue if chelsea want to be back at the top.

Cann the performances ghet better under pochetino? i don't believe so

[makishart]

Surprisingly, Chelsea remains on track for a winning streak after beating Fulham at Stamford Bridge with a narrow score of 1-0 and perhaps the previous expectations that Fulham would give them trouble have finally been answered. Pochettino will definitely continue to improve his squad to be better and they really need win after win if they want and not be too late from the competition that is in a better position. Even though this victory only came from Cole Palmer's penalty kick, it was still a decent victory for Chelsea.

Many people think that Chelsea are just lucky but the most important thing is 3 points in a row, maybe Chelsea are not in the best performance but at least they have more effort and luck comes through their efforts. Now Chelsea are in the 8th position and it takes 8 more points to compete with Tottenham in the 5th position, we know it's not easy but Chelsea only try to make the same effort in every match and collect points. At least Pochettino can relax with this successive wins the strategy was successful even though it was not optimal.

True but three points are the main target here. It doesn't even matter whether chelsea was only luck against fulham but it can secure three points and people who bet for chelsea was winning their rewards.
It's more than enough to say if chelsea is slowly climbing up again. chelsea is still repeating the same mistake again and pochettino was a bullshit. this guy know how to make his club perform worse.
Seeing chilwell played as a left winger makes me shocked and pochettino doesn't even know what he did. He puts him in the wrong position and this is the problem that has encountered by chelsea. The main rival of chelsea was its own coach.
Pochettino was always coming with so many controversial things in any game like that. No doubt that fans demands him to be sacksed by the club.
