Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[AakZaki]

Do you really think Manchester city would be punished?
I really don't think all this rules are being applied to a bigger teams, because it has already been proven by the European football body that Manchester city have broken the rules on multiple occasions, but due to their status and financial power, they still find away around it, and they went away without being punished by expulsion,  but if it were for a smaller teams that did even half of what Manchester city have done, in terms of breaking the rules, all the punishment would have been applied to that team.

If it's like this then the EPL will slowly disintegrate. Everyone should have the same rights, because they are in one main competition. It's a shame for a small club, if everything is measured in money. Small clubs that are able to compete will easily be eliminated and champions are also determined by money. If something like this happens then UEFA and FIFA must immediately step in. Because they have the authority to make football a business that is in a state of order and fair play. I am waiting for the latest news release from the FA, hopefully they are not silent because of money.

Apart from Manchester City's strong financial strength, I also want to know what makes Manchester City unable to be punished after its alleged violations? It is absurd to say that Manchester City escaped punishment because they had a lot of money, but there must be other reasons why Manchester City was not punished.

Everton have money too, other teams have money too, so if bribery is what lets Manchester City escape punishment then the FA is likely doomed. I firmly believe there is a reason why Manchester City cannot be punished or has not been punished, while I ignore its financial strength in the case.

The title race will be tighter, what I'm worried about is Liverpool who have a lot of injuries to their important players, I'm more afraid where they start to falter and continue to lose in the next match because when Liverpool lose points Man City will automatically overtake and it's difficult to take back the top position because however Man City will definitely continue to win.

The probability of Liverpool and Man City winning is almost the same we can't determine now but I'm sure their difference will not continue to be far away even with a thin chance, but who makes a mistake then he will lose to catch up points again.

Of course, the race of the title is getting tighter because the point gap of 3 top teams in EPL standings is very small.
I think Liverpool is in a good condition, they have enough players although there are some injured players. Moreover, Liverpool players are in good forms, they don't depend on Salah anymore. All the attackers can give great contribution for every match now. So, it is a good sign that Liverpool can improve all the players. They are different with Man City that too rely on De Bruyne and Haaland.

Yep. Both Man City and Liverpool have the same chance to win EPL title this season. However, I think Liverpool may have a better chance because they can play more consistently and not depend on certain players.

[entertheabyss]

These set of players that are injured will have a big toll on them because Manchester city are a team that has been known for their consistent fight for the title till the final day of the premier league season and even Liverpool themselves can attestify to that and that's why they need to get those players intact and ready so to avoid any miscues as a result to unavailability of players and I know Manchester City for one will be very happy if they actually lose out on any game because it will a great advantage to them.

I'm not happy, I'm a blue fan and it pains not to see your club among these elite competitive clubs this season. There good advantage for these elite team to continue driving for excellence in matches and seasons. Liverpool and Manchester City will continue to push for good results this season. We're not confident with the club's that will take home the EPL title but we know the fight is between three fierce competitive club. They're Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. No jokes, I'm believing Manchester City to regained the firs position again because they're elite team and have got a better fight than previous season.

This is where firmness is needed from the Premier League to clarify their accusations against Manchester city for committing many violations. To create a clean competition without any violations, firmness is needed in every decision made from the Premier League. If we refer to healthy finances, of course the league is no longer competitive, I mean the Premier League has submitted to teams that have strong finances.

But I find it difficult to find details about the violations committed by Manchester city, there is only one FFP case published by a sports media but at this point it is still under investigation. Indeed, Manchester city is a club that is quite influential in Premier Lague because for the time being they are the best team in the world.

[TelolettOm]

That's the matter.
Recently, Man City has not been very optimal in optimizing the chances they have. In fact, it was a lot of chances, continuous attacks were launched against the opposing team. But, they could only get 1 goal. This is the subject of ongoing evaluation from Pep Guardiola, about how this can end soon and they can return as strong and effective as before.

There is a slightly different situation from Manchester City's attack pattern but in my opinion apart from them currently losing a little momentum especially with the current declining goal productivity making the situation sometimes unexpected for Manchester City.

Of course, the bottom line is that they could get a win then. However, as you say, there was quite a change in the attack pattern. However, whether this is one of Pep's new tactics or not, I don't think it will be to such an extent. Pep Guardiola always carries out evaluations so that the players can be even more solid in each match, so that they can win as optimally as possible. because the longer the match, the more difficult it will be, and they have to continue to win, especially in this EPL where in fact they want the title but up to now they are still in 2nd place. We really expect that Man City will be back soon to likely what they are always doing and reaching previously, not wasting so many chances, and able utilizing the chances optimally. We really miss this.

Chelsea will probably try really hard to get at least one trophy this season despite their downturn. But unfortunately, their opponent this time is Liverpool, which incidentally is a club that is very on fire this season. Liverpool wants various titles in the Carabao Cup, Europe Legaue and also the EPL. Of course they will be very determined to win this match. Based on various betting odds, Liverpool is the favorite. However, whether this will meet expectations or not, then this will be different in the next match.

However, the problem is, this is related to Chelsea, which has the potential for there to be problems related to UEFA's PSR rules and competitions, if they win this Carabao Cup. Is it possible that this will affect their performance or the results Chelsea are hoping for in the final? Because, if Chelsea win the cup, this will actually put Todd Boehly in quite a difficult situation?

Check this info:

Chelsea winning Sunday's Carabao Cup final and qualifying for next season's UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) play-offs would present a number of financial complications to co-owner Todd Boehly. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has suggested the Blues could look to agree a one-year ban with European football's governing body as an act of damage limitation.

Chelsea winning the Carabao Cup this weekend may leave Todd Boehly in a sticky situation.

[Dzwaafu11]

I remember that match when Chelsea pulled out a great surprise to give Tottenham Hotspur their first Premier League defeat of the season. Chelsea's match was postponed because of their EFL Cup final with Liverpool on Sunday. For me, it is hard to tell who will win between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur because their strengths are almost the same now, but they will score against each other.

Chelsea is difficult to predict I was trapped in some of their previous matches, first they were defeated by Liverpool and I thought this was normal then Chelsea were defeated by Wolves this one was not normal after that Chelsea won against Crystal Palace and in the last match Chelsea drew against Manchester City obviously this is not normal. from some of these matches we can see that Chelsea are unexpected including against Tottenham in the upcoming match, I only note that Chelsea always scored on every game.

Seriously, this is another fact about Chelsea matches these days. They are unpredictable nowadays; they win matches that nobody expects they will win. Imagine Chelsea playing a draw with Manchester City. That is not a surprise because, in my opinion, Chelsea are still struggling to get their performance back. They haven't fully recovered, but I can see that they always make a surprise move against big teams during the season; they always win. So for Tottenham, let's see how they are going to perform in the match. Maybe they are going to surprise us again. We don't know yet.

I know Liverpool will win the match, because they will not like to lose any match now that will make Manchester City top them in the league table, and I think Manchester City have upstanding matches that they will play. When I see they are winning Liverpool 1-0, I think it is because of m.sallah that is absent that cause them to be losing 1-0 first half, but Klopp do a great job in the second half that make the team to do a comeback in the game, and make Liverpool continue topping the league table.

Liverpool will not want to lose any matches now to secure their position in the table, and right now Manchester City are fully ready to get that position so they can get the title. We know how good and strong Manchester City are, and once they get to the top, they will surely get the EPL trophy this season. Therefore, I will really like it if Liverpool continue dominating their matches so they will win the trophy this time around, so let's hope to see if Liverpool are going to win.

[baeva]

I sometimes think that Manchester City's attempt to goal ratio is a bit off this year. Against Brentford they had again overwhelming statistics on their side and had 25 shots or attempts, of course not all of them on target. But I have now observed that a couple of times that Manchester City has these statistics and yet they have many games which end much closer than they should.

Perhaps it is this ratio in the end that could cost them the title against Liverpool. I know this is just speculation, but in some other seasons they were brutal and ended those games with 5-0 instead of 1-0 and the games were sometimes over with the halftime whistle. I am not sure what their issue is as De Bruyne is back and their attacking line is impressive, but if they can't get back into this beast mode and often have these close games, they will probably get punished for that in a few games.

Maybe they are trying to change tactics now, I don't know, it doesn't look like it, but their play and performance is really surprising compared to last season. Nevertheless they are now one point behind Liverpool, they have a match against Liverpool soon, let's see which one of them will do better, it will show a lot.

One reason is that De Bruyne and Gundogan had the season of their lives as a midfielder duo. It was unbelievable how these two guys together assisted goals, scored goals themselves and took control over the game. They fit perfectly together because De Bruyne has the ability to push the game forward while Gundogan has this defensive element in his game. They complemented each other like it is rarely seen ever.

Real Madrid had a strong midfield for a long time in the same way when you compare it to Kroos and Modric. However, they were not equal to Gundogan and De Bruyne, yet they complemented each other in another perfect way.

This is what Manchester City is lacking a bit this season. The game isn't quite as creative.


Liverpool is behind against Luton Let's see how that goes!

Maybe, but it is strange that the game has changed so much just because of one detail on the pitch, because Pep is famous for the fact that he always finds a way out of a situation and the fact that in his team there are no irreplaceable players, any player at any time can go on the field and show the best game. In general, MC is still on top, so Pep's strategies are working, though not with such force

[red4slash]

The ambitions of the three great coaches are clearly very reasonable, but Pep Guardiola is still the best of the three. Liverpool, who leads the standings, is not safe, Manchester City is also not safe from Arsenal's pursuit. Each of them has the burden and pressure not to drop points, but several tough and important matches in the remaining season will make it difficult for them to appear consistent. So far all three have the chance to win the title, but the season is still long and we will see the opportunities will be different when each of the three loses points.

Currently the chances of each team are still quite large but we also cannot deny that Pep's chances are still very large compared to some other great coaches to bring his club to the championship position and bring the trophy this season.
Currently the good movement from Liverpool actually brings a positive thing and a very big hope but on the other hand we must be aware that the competition could be even tougher especially for now Klopp goal is not only about the EPL but with several other competitions that Liverpool are still in.

Indeed, for this season I want to see a change of champions because in the last 2 seasons Manchester City has always made real dominance and I don't want the EPL to be a club field for Manchester City alone so other clubs must be able to make a breakthrough so that Manchester City cannot back to back for champions because 2 seasons should be enough for the competition to be more interesting.

[Stable090]

Believe me a lot of people who voted for Manchester to win against Chelsea lost money, Yes? Keep ▶️,  you'll learn the hard way not to underestimate any club even if they're doing poorly.

I also lost money in the match because I never believed that Chelsea would be able to perform well in the match. I used Chelsea's poor performance in previous matches to conclude on how they were going to perform in the match, but Chelsea surprised me in the match, they held Manchester City down and could only score one goal in the match. I was expecting the match to be kind of easy for Manchester City, and I was thinking they would score many goals in the match, but the match ended in a draw. Chelsea even had opportunities to score more than 1 goal, but we know Chelsea's problem is that they lack experienced strikers. If Chelsea have better strikers, they will won the match.

[Abu-Naim]

Yep. Both Man City and Liverpool have the same chance to win EPL title this season. However, I think Liverpool may have a better chance because they can play more consistently and not depend on certain players.

Manchester City can win the Premier League title with or without Keven De Bruyne. Liverpool, on the other hand, has excellent attackers who can produce; they can play effectively and score goals even without Salah. As a result, they may win the league. However, since Arsenal defeated both Manchester City and Liverpool this season, I will also include them in the title race. They have an impressive squad that can win the league.

These three teams have relatively equal opportunities for now because they have a fairly close point difference between them. Well, if you look at the performance of the coaches of these three team, of course Pep Guardiola has a pretty good record because last season he succeeded in bringing a treble winner to Manchester city. And this season he also has the opportunity to bring Manchester city to become champions again. Apart from that, liverpool didn't perform well last season, but klopp managed to bring about change by bringing liverpool to the top of the current standing.

So, for Arsenal, their fate is not yet clear, I mean, last season Arteta had to give up a trophy for manchester city and whether they will also do the same this season. For this reason, In my opinion, these three teams are still very consistent in their performance and if one of the teams fails next week then we have two team that will continue to compete until the end of this season.

Manchester City may have been knowing for their bounce back from behind so for that the possibility for Manchester City to arrive from behind to take the first spot from Liverpool and ultimately win the premier league this season and become the defending Champion,  although this may become impossible if Liverpool keeps up with the current drive and also Manchester city keep losing their key players either due to injuries.


Those and many more are the unforeseen circumstances that can limit or stop Manchester City from topping the leagues for this season, although the possibility is also there.

Manchester City does not win about 1/3 of their games, which I think is good evidence that Guardiola doesn't know every single time how to solve the problem. They are not quite as dominant as they used to be during the mid-season in 2022/23. But I agree with you that the whole team and many players are highly versatile, which is what Guardiola is alwasy after when he is watching out for new players to be integrated. Of course, you can't place Haaland anywhere else, but that's not the point. Most of the other players have this midfielder and attacker combination in their quality. That's really nice to watch as a fan and the whole style is something I like a lot.

Chelsea did all they could do to make sure that they even want to end up as winners of the game.  Chelsea knows about them strength and weakness and would never let these clubs make them look small and stupid.
I was expecting them both to share poi ts but not too early.

Chelsea's problem would be lack of a good coach to arrange the boys,  for now they have one of the best squass because hand in hand.
Chelsea also would be against Liverpool during the finals played between them.
Even with Pep Guardiola having some players returned he has not retuned to them not even for them help in the first place.

You should by now know the nature of how Chelsea plays and cannot be so sure that they’ll win a match or draw a match. They win when we don’t expect them to and lose when we don’t also expect them to lose. They are one of the most inconsistent team this season that their performance is very unpredictable and I think they will continue like this till the end of the season. Chelsea drew all of their two leg premier league matches they played against Manchester City this season and they are still in 10th position on the table which may ponder you that how comes they haven’t move ahead, it can now all be attributed to their lack of consistency in winning matches.

[Alpha Marine]

Believe me a lot of people who voted for Manchester to win against Chelsea lost money, Yes? Keep ▶️,  you'll learn the hard way not to underestimate any club even if they're doing poorly.

It's nothing new actually. People lose money all the time in sports betting. It's not new that the team with the bigger team wins the more favored team. Chelsea okay better when they face a big team but they can't replicate that form against mid-table teams.
I didn't expect that game to be a draw, I expected Man City to win because since the first league ended in a 4-4 draw, I thought the second leg would see Man City dominate and grab the win, but I was wrong.
It's not like Chelsea was so underrated. Their old was not that small and Man City's odd was not that big.

Chelsea could also get a chance and they'll turn negatives to positive. It'll take some time but gradually they'll make things up with the fans. Not this season but maybe next.

Yea, I agree that things can't change much for Chelsea this season. It would take a while lot for them to get things right and I also don't believe it would be under this manager.
Poch is not a bad manager but with the way he plays his players out of position, I think it's going to take a whole lot of adjustments before they can adapt and start winning game.

[TopT3ns]

Manchester City can win the Premier League title with or without Keven De Bruyne. Liverpool, on the other hand, has excellent attackers who can produce; they can play effectively and score goals even without Salah. As a result, they may win the league. However, since Arsenal defeated both Manchester City and Liverpool this season, I will also include them in the title race. They have an impressive squad that can win the league.

Manchester City still has Erling Haaland, who is one of the best players in the English league, so I think when Kevin De Bruyne is injured and can't contribute fully on the pitch, there are still some great players who provide good passes for the attackers to execute, even though Erling Haaland has just scored a goal. in the final minutes, but at least Manchester City managed to win this match.
For Liverpool, I see that luck is on their side because the opponent they are facing is a team with not very good strength, so it is normal for Liverpool to score a lot of goals.

[borovichok]

Believe me a lot of people who voted for Manchester to win against Chelsea lost money, Yes? Keep ▶️,  you'll learn the hard way not to underestimate any club even if they're doing poorly.

Chelsea is among the top favourite club on my rader, perhapes they're having one of the terrible moments this season, their results in matches have been really inconsistent in matches and winnings. Manchester City vs Chelsea ended in a draw. Everyone that underestimated Chelsea have learned their lesson and they won't try this mistake second time. For me, I deliberately didn't buy the idea of placing wager in favour of Manchester City to win the deformed Chelsea at Etihad stadium though most of my friends developed 100% confidence in Pep Guardiola and his men, now where did that get them? They end up losing the gigantic amounts to gambling and keep all hopes of biding back to matches.

Gambling are mainly for those sets of individuals that first of all sticks to becoming regular and stable in the system. We can not place wager on game without having no clue about the game fixtures, we should be able to stick to one sector, I'm not here to complain but focused on striving for my goal. There's something we have failed to understand, Pep Guardiola only win games we expect him to win and also win the ones we don't expect but we ought to be careful inother not to lose heavily.

Chelsea since the start of the season have been performing incredibly well again the traditional big teams in England and even when I expected Manchester City to beat them, I also predicted that it was going to be a very difficult game for Manchester City. Mauricio Pochentino I think have mastered the best approach when his team is facing any of the strong teams in the league as well as the best possible means of getting a result.

However, despite his Mauricio Pochentino's ability to win games against strong teams in England, he's not been able to lift the team to the top four of the English Premier League table since he took over the managerial position at the club. Chelsea I think have all the needed quality of players to be competing for the English Premier League title this season but unfortunately for them, they're not even any where close
