Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Sexylizzy2813]

The Liverpool game against Arsenal is going to be a big decider to know if Liverpool are actually going to continue to be at the submit of the league. Arsenal put an impressive display in their last game and got a good scoreline. This simply showed that the team is back to their form and they will need to sustain that  form going forward, so for Liverpool to get maximum points in that game looks unlikely because Arsenal need those points as much as Liverpool does.

It is quite clear that Arsenal are getting their mojo back after that wonderful display against Crystal Palace but Arteta need to work more on his wingers in terms of counter, let every counter attack count, it must be a goal. We all know how Liverpool are with high play and counter attack too, if Arsenal convert all their chances I don't see Liverpool recovering any time soon and start playing like they used to.
We might be surprised, if Arsenal get a win against Liverpool they (Liverpool) will start losing games and eventually drop to 3rd or 4th position. It won't be easy in that game but I believe the Gunners will dominate that game because the Liverpool defense isn't that strong compared to the Gunner's.

Lol, it will be completely different games, and i am certain you know that. I think Liverpool have more motivation to win the EPL tie, that is because they are in the title race, and Chelsea are not. Having said that, the Carabao cup is Chelsea's only opportunity to win a title, so they might give it their all, and be lucky to win it, meanwhile i truly believe Liverpool has a chance to win the CL and the Europa league, so their options isn't as limited as Chelsea's.

Every team that wants to achieve something must show a reaction after several defeats. Arsenal still ranks 3rd in the Premier League standings.

Lately Arsenal has proven that they are ready to come back to there good performance because checking there position on the premier League and there pattern of play you will agree with me that Arsenal is back on there feet to compete for the league champion.

Liverpool were quite silent against Fulham last night but still it was enough to secure the ticket for the EFL Cup finale.   

I don't think it was due to Salah's absence either because we all saw what Liverpool did to Bournemouth in the Premier League recently. Bournemouth and Fulham are not at similar levels though, I must admit that. But still there is a big gap between Fulham and Liverpool in strength. However I expect to see a much better Liverpool in the finale against Chelsea. They would have Salah also as long as his injury isn't that serious.

The draw that occurred in the EFL Cup match between Fulham v Liverpool was actually still a normal result because after all, Liverpool basically won on aggregate because in the first leg Liverpool won with a score of 2-1. Therefore, in this second leg there is no ambition for Liverpool to win big because after all, just a draw is enough for Liverpool to qualify for the final match. Moreover, even though Liverpool were certain to qualify but yes, Liverpool still played well because in the first half Liverpool also won with Luis Diaz's quick goal in the 11th minute, although in the second half Fulham managed to equalize the score at 1-1 but yes, with On aggregate, Liverpool won with a score of 3-2 and Liverpool still qualified for the final match against Chelsea later.

It was a common thing since liverpool was playing away against fulham. Fulham has been boosting caused by it was playing in front of all of its supporters. Additionally, it must be acknowledged that Liverpool's exceptional performance can be attributed to their strengthened mindset, which has enabled them to surpass previous achievements. Jota performed quite good against fulham while diaz must be marked as man of the match in this game. He knows that if the club is still performing so well. Glad to see that even with the worst club and chelsea is still able performing quite well till it reaches the final against liverpool. Chelsea has got the easiest route to be qualified for the final of carabao cup and i do support this club to beat liverpool soon.

Chelsea is slowly but surely learning a lot from the previous games. Pochettino needs to make a lot of preparation, especially in preventing salah and diaz. Nunez can be stopped easily while diaz and salah are the main threats for chelsea in the final.
It sounds good to see chelsea is performing pretty well this time. Liverpool has been doing good in fulham's home. These clubs are deserved a place in the final next month.
There will be interesting match to watch at the end of februyary between chelsea vs liverpool.

This simply showed that the team is back to their form and they will need to sustain that  form going forward, so for Liverpool to get maximum points in that game looks unlikely because Arsenal need those points as much as Liverpool does.

I don't see it in that light actually because the Arsenal I know now and the current Liverpool team isn't one that will be contending for a decider except Arsenal is better improved by this time then I could see possibilities in this match turning out a decider for Liverpool but otherwise it's going to be a regular struggle.

I'm not disputing the fact that Arsenal can be tough on Liverpool, giving them a really strong resistance but then Liverpool is very much equal to the task and seeing the possibilities in winning the trophy if only they can add some more wins to their records is enough psychological strength for Liverpool to want to play better even if they wouldn't have earlier so it's a match were both team have got something to fight for but then one team is at advantage already and I'm not expecting to see a weak performance from either side neither I'm I expecting a draw too.

Every team that wants to achieve something must show a reaction after several defeats. Arsenal still ranks 3rd in the Premier League standings.

The rankings of EPL teams are based on their performance. Liverpool and Manchester City are among the favourites to win the EPL, but Aston Villa will struggle and may drop out of the top four this season. The EPL Stand is only operational for elite competing clubs; none of these teams intend to fail, but it is a fact. We have both excellent and average teams that do struggle to win games. Arsenal are in the top competitive race for the EPL this season, which is important for Mikel Arteta because he is the driving force behind the club's great achievement.

Since Mohammed salah will not be playing the match Arsenal has a better chance of wining the match because lately Arsenal seem to have realized there mistakes and they have been improving seriously, and also for Liverpool to have draw there match against Fulham I think Arsenal is going to win them.

I don't think that Liverpool is just a team that relies on one player like Mohammed Salah, even though Mohammed Salah is a pretty good and extraordinary player. But Liverpool is very aware that they basically have to rely on all the players they currently have because logically it would be impossible for Liverpool to get to the top position like now if they only relied on one player in any match. Everyone has seen how Liverpool can win matches without Mohammed Salah, which means that Liverpool are indeed good enough at the moment so they can still occupy the top position until now.

However I expect to see a much better Liverpool in the finale against Chelsea. They would have Salah also as long as his injury isn't that serious.

I also hope Liverpool can play better in the final against Chelsea. And don't let Liverpool play like they did in yesterday's match against Fullham. Because I feel Liverpool didn't play optimally in that match. They are too confident to get through and may underestimate their opponents a little. But I'm happy because they were finally able to qualify for the final.

And I still believe that M. Salah's absence will not make Liverpool weaker than Chelsea. So Liverpool will most likely lift the EFL Cup trophy. But Chelsea's last match also surprised me. So maybe if Chelsea really had risen then it would be natural for Liverpool to lose. But I think the possibility of Liverpool losing is quite small. Unless there is a surprise return from Chelsea.

The Carabao Cup final will be held at the end of February. Concerns may be increasing in the Liverpool camp because they have entered a busy match period in four competitions, namely the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. If you look at the match schedule, Chelsea is certainly at an advantage because they only focus on the domestic league, but their unstable performance this season has changed many perceptions, where they will definitely have difficulty winning against Liverpool in the future. In my opinion, this final is ideal, bringing together big clubs, usually as we have seen, the Blues often perform well when facing other elite teams, so this match is really worth watching.

On the other hand, we will actually see the Liverpool versus Chelsea meeting in the 22nd week of the EPL, in my opinion this is no less interesting, and of course it will be a big match. On paper, the Reds clearly deserve to be at the top because we can see the reputation of the two clubs so far by referring to the standings, it is clear to us the difference in performance and statistics recorded. Even though Salah is currently absent, I don't think this will have a big impact on Liverpool. Klopp, with his wealth of experience, has proven that they are fine without Salah in the starting XI. Moreover, next week match will take place at Anfield, it is clear that they will benefit from playing in front of their own supporters.

Silent but tjrybwas able to see them earn the place to finally play in the finals against Chelsea. It sure won't be one easy fixture for em as Chelsea have been superb against top sides in the Premier League Competition this very season.

Salah's absence mean nothing truthfully, they did good without him when they faced and trashed Bournemouth during the last Premier League game they played. As Virgil Van Dirk and Konate kept the formed Dominic Solanke in the game quiet.
Why Compare Fulham and Bounce mouth together? Uts makes no sense.
Chelsea could even win against Liverpool during the finals. Having him around is a plus but anything can happen the best side would become Champions.

there are still many matches yet to be played. A lot can happen and is beyond prediction. maybe Liverpool will slip and Man City will take over. I can say that the top 5 Premier League standings are still very likely to experience changes in position.
Last season, Liverpool didn't even make it into the top 4. Tottenham even had to be thrown into 8th position. Many doubt Aston Villa will remain in the top 4. But if they can appear stable, they can maintain their position well. I can say that because the situation is different this season. There was no Man United or Newcastle to put pressure on Aston Villa's position.

In the near future, Liverpool will host Chelsea first in week 22 before traveling to the Emirates to face Arsenal in week 23. We know that Liverpool is not being strengthened by M Salah at the moment, but the collective game strategy implemented by Klopp has provided stability in their performance. However, the presence of a star player is eagerly awaited by fans. An injury has forced Salah to undergo treatment and return early from his national duties.

I am sure Liverpool will remain stable, the depth of Klopp squad can ease fans worries, we know Chelsea and Arsenal also have shortcomings in their respective squads. It must be admitted, losing points will have a big impact on Liverpool position in the standings, Man City certainly hopes that Liverpool will stumble, so they can take over the top of the standings. The competition for the top four in the Premier League standings is actually very difficult to predict, it could be that in the future the four clubs will continue to change positions and experience ups and downs in performance.

The encounter will be one-of-a-kind, despite Liverpool's strength, since they came from behind to take the lead. That is why people regard them as a good team, but I am confident that Liverpool will find the match difficult because Arsenal has returned to their usual form after doing so brilliantly in their most recent games. I believe that if they maintain this level of performance, they will be able to progress and achieve their aims against Liverpool.

Furthermore, given Arsenal's current form I expect good results from them. They will not find the match difficult because Arsenal needs more points to overtake Manchester City in second place, and I doubt that Liverpool will get the maximum number of points in the match.

Even though so far Liverpool's performance has not been affected without Salah, Salah is a player who can provide better attacking power when Liverpool has difficulty breaking down the opposing team's defense. At the moment it doesn't have much of an impact, but Liverpool really needs Salah's presence in the next few tough matches.

Today Klopp played Diaz, Nunez and Gakp as his attacking trio. I know the match against Fulham is not too tough, but the performance of these three players needs to be reviewed ahead of the two tough matches against Chelsea and Arsenal in early February.

Regarding strength when attacking, it cannot be denied that Salah's presence can make it more difficult for opponents to maintain their defense because Salah has the ability to dribble the ball. However, if Salah cannot play then Liverpool have a number of players who can replace him. This is because several previous matches have proven that, without Salah's presence, they still play much more solidly on the front lines. Of course losing Salah in the team will slightly affect Liverpool's attack, but that doesn't mean they have no choice.

These three players did appear extraordinary against Fulham and they tried to carry out quite neat attacks while near the penalty area. Jurgen Klopp knows what to do even though sometimes there are a number of opportunities that players are not able to maximize and that often happens in football.

I actually think that with Muhammad Salah, Liverpool gets a lot of strength. But at the same time without him, Liverpool should not have such a big problem that they won't even be able to continue performing well. It might be a little hard for them to actually adjust for a couple of matches. But life will go on.

Liverpool was able to win against Fulham on aggregate score. They had a 1-1 draw in the second leg. But they did not have much pressure because they were ahead on aggregate score.

I also have to agree that the coach is doing very well with Liverpool.

I'm not saying Liverpool can't play well without Salah, but with Salah, Liverpool will certainly be better able to maximize their attack patterns. Salah is an icon for Liverpool so far, so when the team plays without his presence there is something different.

The strength of Liverpool's attack line will not be completely good without Salah, especially in tough matches Salah is really needed. I know Nunez, Diaz and Gakpo can play well, but Salah is a player who can bring a lot of change to Liverpool's attacking game. Just like De Bruyne at Manchester City, Salah is very important in Liverpool's attack line every season. The games against Chelsea and Arsenal are tough games, so we'll see if Liverpool are as good without Salah in those two games.

After the recent dominant 5-0 win against crystal palace, Arsenal seems very confident for a good comeback against forest which will surely effect the mindset they are in for the game against liverpool, Easy 6 points and back to the table top 

[Bitcoin_people]

Fulham vs Liverpool played well in EFL cup 1st leg and the two teams were drawn, for which both teams were evenly matched. However, coming to the 2nd leg, we saw an amazing game between the two teams, we attacked until the last moment and Liverpool team secured the final match with victory. Anyway, Liverpool are a strong team and they have not snatched victory from the opposition after a great arrival to the final match but they must play well against Chelsea in the final match. The Chelsea team we saw lost in the first leg against Middleburg but had a great win in the 2nd leg where they managed to win by six goals. Chelsea is a great team they can change their game at any time and they have a lot of good stars so they are very strong at the moment. Anyway, two teams have gone to the finals, Liverpool and Chelsea, these two teams are strong in the current season and it is difficult to predict which team will win the final match, the two teams are strong enough so it is not easy to predict.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal, that will be the opening match in Week 22 of the Premier League. On paper we don't need to doubt that Arsenal has a great chance of winning this mtch, but the problem is that a match cannot be determined by the advantages of a club before they play, that will also apply to Arsenal. Still, what determines who will win is when the match takes place, which club can play beter, then they have a big chance of winning.
However, with the condition of the opponents that Arsenal will face, it would be a shame if they could not take advantage of this match to achieve victory. Because after all, Nottingham Forest didn't have a good performance, while Arsenal, on the other hand, even though they didn't play well in some matches.

With Salah's absence, Liverpool has still not lost a game. There is a hot player and finisher for the club that is filling well into the shoes of Salah, Diogo Jota who has scored goals for Liverpool. He is fast and very good on the ball, his goal scoring ability may be the advantage for Liverpool because even when he does not play a full game, he can come in, play a few minutes and still deliver the results expected from him. On the other side, Chelsea are also now scoring with the chances they create, so there is much chance that Liverpool goalkeeper will also be tested a lot.

Every team that wants to achieve something must show a reaction after several defeats. Arsenal still ranks 3rd in the Premier League standings.

Lately Arsenal has proven that they are ready to come back to there good performance because checking there position on the premier League and there pattern of play you will agree with me that Arsenal is back on there feet to compete for the league champion.

Arsenal 5-0  thrashing of Crystal Palace cannot be used to validate their return to their winning ways until they win three to four consecutive matches before I can agreed that they are back in title challenge, though the team always play well both in term of ball possessions and plenty shot on goal unfortunately lack ability to convert those chances to goal only if Arteta can address that issue of lack of converting those chances to goals then that is another yardstick to be used so as to be considered  for the title, meanwhile the team next three fixtures are very crucial for the team to continue with the title challenge they would play Nothingham Forest, Liverpool and West Ham respectively these are tough matches though winnable.

[Weawant]

After the recent dominant 5-0 win against crystal palace, Arsenal seems very confident for a good comeback against forest which will surely effect the mindset they are in for the game against liverpool, Easy 6 points and back to the table top 

Such a win is enough to increase the confidence of any team because the score line is much that it means such win wasn't by accident or a team been lucky but rather show for a good performance and a good team strength which means they were intentional and did gave the best of their performance and they are still in a good form.

Against Liverpool Arsenal shouldn't be expecting it will be as easy as it was against crystal palace that they got five goals and three points rather they will definitely have a tough game because Liverpool is a bigger team and tougher team which has a better form and depth as compared to crystal palace who have a relatively weak team when compared to that which Arsenal has. I wouldn't be Hasty to conclude on the results of the game but I will rather watch and hope the best team wins.
