Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[TopT3ns]

The performance of Kelvin De Bruyne have become professional in decades, probably after Pep Guardiola took over the managerial affairs of Manchester City. There's alot I learnt about the club, they become consistent after Pep Guardiola worked on the team and bringing in his choice of players and not some random average players that would triggered Manchester City to decline in performance. Kelvin De Bruyne was ruled out for lengthy games due to the critical injuries he obtained in the early starts of the season and that have left the Belgium international behind though he has finally returned and have become one of the key project for Pep Guardiola in Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola is still trying to give instructions to continue playing well even without the full presence of Kelvin who is currently injured. Kelvin is a central midfielder who has an important line to always provide support to the attacking players who usually always provide good passes forward. Pep Guardiola is well aware that Kelvin is still in the recovery stage, so the Barcelona coach is considering not playing full time on the field.

If what you say is for the Everton team, I also have confidence that Everton can reach the top fifteen this season if they don't lose more matches in the coming matches. Especially in the match against Fulham later this month, because every improvement will always be very meaningful for a team like Everton who is trying to stay away from bad zones this season. This could be quite possible for Everton to try because there are still three teams above them whose current number of points is still quite close to Everton.

Yes, Everton still has a chance to get away from the relegation zone this season.  but apart from that, I saw that they were punished again for the second time this season for breaking the rules. Well, if official punishment is imposed on them for the second time this season, of course it will be a very bad blow for them because they are struggling to stay away from the relegation zone this season.

For Everton, they have not performed well enough this season because they have had many problems affecting their club. It looks like it will take a lot of effort for them to get out of the bottom zone of the standings this season. It is also reported that Forest will be punished for breaking the rules so this will be quite a tough season for Forest and Everton. I think they should be able to gather strong evidence to be able to appeal if they are not guilty.

I believe Dyche will turn it around completely and take Everton off relegation struggles

[Yogee]

A draw after three consecutive losses is already an improvement right? hehe. You cannot really tell after just one good game but at least they are out of the relegation zone for now. They must also show that "improvement" in their next matches so watch out if they are your favorite team. I won't be surprised if they concede 2 or 3 goals after this.

If what you say is for the Everton team, I also have confidence that Everton can reach the top fifteen this season if they don't lose more matches in the coming matches.

Funny how you have to put that condition before they could reach top 15. I mean it's not wrong since they really need to take care of their own business to climb up and not rely on other teams losing. You're making it sound it's a simple task for Everton when it's really not. At least two of the teams that are currently in relegation zone could also come out of that if they manage to win most of their matches too.

We haven't seen De Bruyne perform well for a long time. And he has shown his ability to return to the squad. De Bruyne performed very well against Newcastle. De Bruyne may not play 90 minutes in the next few matches. Because if De Bruyne is on the field for the full 90 minutes, the chances of De Bruyne's injury may increase again. So Guardiola will gradually add De Bruyne to his squad. And now everyone is waiting for Haaland's return. But Haaland's return to the squad is likely to take a long time. Even without Haaland in the squad, Grealish and Alavarez are capable of performing well. If De Bruyne plays well, the Manchester City team will now be able to perform consistently well.

Manchester City tactician Pep Guardiola did not force Kevin De Bruyne to play in the early minutes because he was still recovering from injury, last match against Newcastle United De Bruyne sent in at 69th minutes and Pep Guardiola give him left 20 minutes for playing to protect from injury.
Still need time for De Bruyne get regular position although he has adapt well on first match after recovering from injury,
I think Pep Guardiola won't with Kevin De Bruyne will get injury again and have absent for longer time. Have more patience for Kevin De Bruyne with his condition fit 100% and already for playing until 90 minutes.

Guardiola is a very experienced coach. So even though the match against Newcastle is very important, he did not put De Bruyne in the starting XI. Because now if De Bruyne faces injury again then Manchester City will face big problem. Because Haaland is not in the squad due to injury. Guardiola desperately needs De Bruyne right now.

De Bruyne should perform very carefully in the upcoming matches. The opponents are not strong in the upcoming matches of the Premier League. So Guardiola is unlikely to keep De Bruyne in the starting XI. Manchester City will play against Burnley, Brentford and Everton in the next three matches. Manchester City is expected to win all three matches. Since the opponent is weak. So maybe Manchester City can get 3 points even if De Bruyne is not in the squad.

Truth is that Everton have performed well this season and if not for financial fair play point deduction, the club side will be battling for an Europa league spot at this stage of the Campaignl

I believe Dyche will turn it around completely and take Everton off relegation struggles

They started playing well after the points deduction due to financial fair play, and the outstanding performed displayed after the points deduction helped the team as they are now one of the toughest opponents in the Premier League especially while playing at the Goodison park.

The competition of qualifying to Europa League is also not easy because the Premier League this season has so many teams that that are hoping to qualify to either Champions League or Europa League, but at the end, the quality and lucky teams will qualify to the competitions.

Even with those 10 points, they would currently be at 12th place in the league table, so pretty far from Europa League.
They have fairly good defence with only 28 goals lost, but they have no attacking power and that's their main problem. They need to take more risks and and aim for wins not draws. Their current position is not pretty, they have only 1 point advantage over Luton, but Luton have one less game played and they will be highly motivated to escape from the red zone.
Burnley and Sheffield are already doomed.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I agree because after all at this time KDB is really very much needed and her presence brings a different pattern of attack for Manchester City that is very much felt because after all with her presence in the squad indirectly this adds to the breakout power of Manchester City because KDB is one of the very good initiators in this case so it is quite natural that she is one of the players who is eagerly awaited and her presence will make a loss.
Rodri is also a good player but Rodri's role is slightly different because in the end when we compare Rodri and KDB the tasks are also different. Rodri is more focused on defence but for KDB he is used as one of the initiators in the attack so that when these two players play then indirectly the Manchester City midfield will become stronger because their attack and defence are filled with players who do have above-average performance to date.

It was written all over Manchester City performance that the absence of Kevin affected them a lot, one of them is Haaland because by this time last season, he was everywhere and was having goals in easy form but when Kevin sustained injury, he has to fight for the ball himself in most of the match. When he don't look for the ball, he doesn't get notice in the match and it was even as a result of that struggle he got that injury.
Kevin is back but Haaland is not fit but I love him for the fact that he can do well on his own but they should always start him to warm him up instead of playing half minute of game.

Chemistry between these two are amazing, and they are surely having tag of most lethal combo in current soccer world which are doing good job and having enough success just because of the KDB injury Haaland was badly down and then as we have injury to Haaland things gone from bad to worse for the City so now KDB already started and peoples are watching how their performance is coming back on the track which is much needed at this time now as we will have Haaland back then surely Manchester City is going to have their performance back into business which is having trade-mark success for them in early matches before this decline now we have few matches which are surely important for them before Champions League as they will help for creating same depth and better results.

The comeback of de bruyne has been threatening other club and i can expect that if there will be a very important thing to come like haaland that recovers from his injury. This is going to be a disaster for other club. Haaland has been expected to return to the main club next month and it's going to be very interesting thing to be discussed. Even klopp has been also commenting the return of de bruyne to the club which is proving that how de bruyne becomes the biggest threat for liverpool. Klopp may be pushing his club to play even more carefully.
Manchester city can repeat the same result as last season when the club was surpassing arsenal at the end of season to take the EPL trophy. Liverpool is still at the top position which is good but it must have won upcoming games.
There's no excuses for liverpool to lose or draw. Since manchester city is always climbing up and liverpool needs to keep the gap to the manchester city. This becomes the main consideration of klopp to see city as a serious competitor for the title race.

[TrainerCarry]

I feel like City can't lose now that De Bruyne is back. Won huge on them while betting live on XFUN during halftime of the Newcastle game. They are simply a different beast when this guy plays, and just wait till him and Haaland are a menace once again.

[asriloni]

Phewww.. What? i can't even believe it everon can get another points deduction. This time it's not only for everton but nottingham forest could get points deduction too. Everton charged 10 points in the previous sanction and this is crazy and i can't even believe it.
If everton will be charged another 10 points deduction and it will be going to the relegation zone easily. This is quite crazy to see that how everton will be once again gets its points to be deducted.
Let's wait for the further announcement regarding this but this is a very bad news for everton fans. Im thinking that if this is crazy to see everton probably goes to the relegation zone again. I meant that if it will be crazy if everton will be managed to leave from relegation zone two times in a row.
People are also waiting for the further explaination about this. The club needs to pay that there will be no same points deduction like the previous one.

Nottingham Forest are facing a potential points deduction after being charged with breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR), and Everton could lose more points after being charged with a further breach of the same rules.

Spurs have got things rolling in the attacking side of things, even though they lost their best player and record goalscorer in Harry Kane. They have now successfully, for the first time in Premier League era, scored consecutively in 33 games. Credit goes to their manager Ange, who's philosophy works really well in the EPL. Attacking football.

I guess even with Harry Kane, Spurs weren't doing this well offensively. The biggest factor is Son, he includes himself in positions in all matches, throws or makes others throw. Then Richarlison

Coming in, he is also a good centre-forward, he is quite adequate without Harry Kane and he has done a good job so far. They are on the same points with Arsenal, they are in a good position to stay in the top four, and they have the image to achieve this for now.

Don't forget the role of Ange Postecoglou because his presence at Tottenham was very doubtful in the beginning but slowly he started to answer that not having experience in the big leagues was not a problem, especially since his presence at Tottenham was not like other coaches who bought a lot of players, meaning he maximized the existing players and only added some were new and they were quite successful because the new players performed quite well, but injuries prevented him from playing like James Maddison, also Richalison, who got more playing time this season, showed good development even though it wasn't that special.
Last season, Tottenham only managed to win 18 times and entering the middle of this season they have managed to win 12 times, meaning that there has been a lot of good development in this team.

Their current position is not pretty, they have only 1 point advantage over Luton, but Luton have one less game played and they will be highly motivated to escape from the red zone.
Burnley and Sheffield are already doomed.

Despite losing 10 points, Everton's performance has been quite good this season. However, Everton's performance in the last four matches was very poor. However, in the matches Everton played against the big teams of the Premier League. The team lost against City, Tottenham and Wolves. However, Everton have managed to share points with Aston Villa, who have been in great form this season. Everton can still stay away from the relegation zone after losing 10 points. Because the defense of this team is relatively good. They conceded 28 goals. I would say Everton's defense is better than Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea. Everton have conceded fewer goals than these three giant teams. I think we will see Everton in 12th/13th position in the points table at the end of the season.

Manchester United ended up playing a draw against Tottenham in their match yesterday. With the way Manchester United are inconsistent this season, I never expected them to give Tottenham a difficult moment in the match. The match ended as a draw, and the two teams tried their best, but Tottenham wasted some opportunities that, if they were able to score, would have given them a win in the match. Just as you said, Manchester United were lucky in their match against Tottenham yesterday, because I didn’t see anything special about the way Manchester United played in their match yesterday, but they went away with 1 point, which was a lucky one for them.

Although quite disappointed with Mu recently, it is fair to say that Mu had a not bad match against Tottenham. Before the match, although playing at home, it was clear that Mu was not highly rated compared to Tottenham, but they entered the game quite well as they continuously took the lead. Mu's scoring performance in this match was quite commendable as with only 2 shots on target in the first 45 minutes they had 2 goals.
Positive signal from Rashford when he scored his first goal this season at Old Trafford after 14 matches. If they are luckier, they can win if McTominay's header can be scored in injury time. Despite being held to a draw, Mu climbed to 7th place on the rankings.

[legendbtc]

Not only is MU's attack this season having problems, with expected strikers like Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, or Antony. Everyone played distractedly. MU also has difficulty in defense.
Tottenham entered the match at Old Trafford without the services of captain Son Heung Min. They replaced striker Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig. I think if Son Heung Min were there, he wouldn't let there be such a draw. He will make Onana's goal vibrate continuously. MU was very lucky in this match. With a 2-2 draw at MU's field, Tottenham has the same 40 points as fourth-placed Arsenal.
Currently, Erik Ten Hag and his team are 8 points behind the group qualifying for next season's Champions League. This is not a big gap when the tournament still has 17 rounds left to end. However, MU needs to close the gap soon if they do not want to become a spectator of this exciting race.

Overall, of course there are two gaps that Erik ten Hag must fix to bring change to Manchester United this season. Where Erik must be able to improve Manchester United defense and front line. Even now they are not consistent enough in the matches they play so it will have fatal consequences if their performance does not improve in the second half of the season.

I think Erik should buy a defender to support their defense line and also a striker who is ready to provide goals when the team needs to win. Well, that might be quite difficult for Erik to do because he needs a lot of money to buy quality players while the Glazer family is reluctant to give Erik big money to buy quality players.

Personally, I feel this is unnecessary. The Glazer family also spent a lot of money on Erik ten Hag. They spend hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market, adding many valuable names to the squad: Harry Maguire and Andre Onana, Casemiro, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund...They have many exciting and talented players. They need to band together, and I hope Ten Hag can do it.

Look at Brighton and Tottenham with players not as valuable as Man United. But the coaches of that team have proven that they can link players together. Ten Hag has spent 18 months working at MU. And up to this point, we still haven't seen any gameplay formed. I think it's time for a change. The Ratcliffe Revolution. New era, new coach needed.

Manchester City is very lucky to have Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland in their squad. Both of them are the best players in their respective positions. Their contributions have made Manchester City successful in winning several prestigious titles last season. If the two monsters owned by Manchester City are able to maintain their performance as shown last season, it will be very difficult to stop their progress in the title race.
Manchester City is very lucky that De Bruyne can return to their squad at the right time, a duo of players of the caliber of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne have a crucial role in Pep Guardiola squad which is trying to reclaim first place from Liverpool.

[Belarge]

I feel like City can't lose now that De Bruyne is back. Won huge on them while betting live on XFUN during halftime of the Newcastle game. They are simply a different beast when this guy plays, and just wait till him and Haaland are a menace once again.

Pep Guardiola is ready to instruct his players on the big tasks to accomplish because they have suited to become the very favorite club that can stop Liverpool from winning the league title this season, this is strict winning streaks for both teams because they both know what's at stake here. Yes, Kelvin De Bruyne is back but that doesn't give the guarantee and confidence about Manchester City becoming a fierce unbeaten team for the rest of the season. Manchester City is a top team and they know how to handle crucial positions and EPL matches.

Congrats on your win first and this is what everyone has been wanting to see Manchester city do which is winning of games and making the game really interesting to watch . Manchester city has been one of  my favorites team in the premier league in terms of their tenacity and how beautiful they play the game and Kevin de byrune has the whole certain of this excellence and am glad he is able to grace us with his beautiful understanding of the game once again.

Guardiola is a very experienced coach. So even though the match against Newcastle is very important, he did not put De Bruyne in the starting XI. Because now if De Bruyne faces injury again then Manchester City will face big problem. Because Haaland is not in the squad due to injury. Guardiola desperately needs De Bruyne right now.

De Bruyne should perform very carefully in the upcoming matches. The opponents are not strong in the upcoming matches of the Premier League. So Guardiola is unlikely to keep De Bruyne in the starting XI. Manchester City will play against Burnley, Brentford and Everton in the next three matches. Manchester City is expected to win all three matches. Since the opponent is weak. So maybe Manchester City can get 3 points even if De Bruyne is not in the squad.

Guardiola doesn't want to force one of his top players to play for too long. De Bruyne condition, which is still very vulnerable to injury, needs to be given space to prevent injury again. The big problem facing Manchester City is now starting to come to light, De Bruyne immediately stepped on the gas after being played as a substitute when his team played against Newcastle. His presence immediately changed Manchester City game, he managed to become a key player in his team victory by recording one goal and one assist.

Guardiola will wait for the right time to include De Bruyne in the starting XI, he will have a positive impact on Manchester City in the next match. Liverpool must be more wary of Manchester City, the increase in strength of their rival after De Bruyne returned to the squad will pose a threat to them in their pursuit of the EPL trophy this season.

[bering]

Next weekend West Ham will gets easy opponent Sheffield United and last season this team was hard struggling to avoiding relegation and West Ham even have to finish at 14th place but this season West Ham is quite different because David Moyes has successfully to make this team performing stable again and indeed West Ham is not the favourite team in Premier League but i will counting them as dark horses team because while playing against big teams West Ham always be displayed impressive performance because West Ham has successfully to beat Chelsea, Tottenham and the latest is Arsenal so they are cannot be underestimate

Talking about their upcoming match just like i said above they will facing easy match against Sheffield United and from head to head statistics too West Ham was too strong for Sheffield United and i have been notice West Ham has Jarrod Bowen this player was very impressive because he can scores 11 goals on Premier League which is his goal records was much better if we compared to last season and for this match i am sure David Moyes will still rely on him for forward lines and recently i have checked the odds for both teams and i have seen West Ham has good odds for this match @2.14

Pep Guardiola is still quite confident with the performance of his other players who do not include Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, Pep Guardiola implements the right strategy so that the players can play optimally and in fact Manchester City still won when they played away against Newcastle, Pep Guardiola is keeping Kevin De Bruyne from being included in the starting Xl because Pep Guardiola doesn't want his important players to get injured again because Pep Guardiola still really needs Kevin De Bruyne's presence.

Kevin De Bruyne will definitely keep his body fit and be careful when playing on the field because if something bad happens it will affect his career in football. Moreover, he wants to help contribute to giving the best for Manchester City this season so they can repeat the treble winners title like last season.
