Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[AakZaki]

It's not only Haaland will perform better than Hojlund, but Hojlund is currently injured, Manchester United would be forced to let Rashford become a striker, unfortunately Rashford is a bad striker. So it's a clear win for Manchester City, even Manchester United has a full squad, the chance to win is still low.

At least Manchester United should prevent to be humiliated

If Man United still want to enter the Europa League then at least they can get just 1 point. But in recent years I have always been pessimistic about Man United. Man United's game dominance is always inferior to Man City. The possession of the ball and the final result prove that Man City is very dominant. Man United currently seems to lose strength when facing big clubs. Poor handling, poor play, no confidence and no fighting spirit. So I think Man United will lose.

Being a rich team gives you the advantage of being able to make significant performance improvements. They were outstanding last season but they have been inconsistent this season. I think they will not be able to repeat their success in qualifying for the Champions League like last season. But of course the Prince of Saudi Arabia will provide large funds to purchase talented players in the next transfer market. This is something normal that rich clubs like City and Chelsea have done in previous seasons. I think Newcastle will continue to develop in the future. It is even possible that they will become even stronger next season.

Although Newcastle is now a rich club but the owners do not pour a lot of money they just want to pioneer from below but that takes a lot of time especially if you don't have talent players then it could be that this club will be left behind, but there is an influence from the coach factor or injured players why Newcastle is declining this season.

We'll see how the summer goes whether they will buy many players? From a financial point of view they will not lack but have a large number while the game is not productive for what? You could say it's a waste.

There are rumors that if Newcastle fail this season then the current coach Eddie Howe could be threatened with being replaced by another coach.

[wiss19]

What you say is quite true, Newcastle, which is now owned by the Arabian Prince, cannot achieve the target of qualifying for the Champions League next season and even playing in the European League next season seems impossible for Newcastle, indeed currently the Premier League still has around approx 12 more matches to go and if you look at Newcastle  remaining matches, where they still have to face a lot of big teams, of course staying in the top 10 is a realistic hope for them.

I didn't expect that with the large amount of investment made by the club owner, Edie Howe turned out to be incapable fulfil expectations from management clubs,  If we talk about the quality of the team, it seems that the team that Newcastle currently has is not too different from last season, so it will actually make things easier for Edie Howe is carrying out his work to maintain the unity of his team ,  but it is very funny for me to see the current Newcastle squad which doesn't seem to have the mentality to be winner and the proof the draw that Newcastle got when facing the second division team in the FA match was really surprising so it clearly indicates that Something wrong right now at Newcastle.

After having unexpected impressive result in last season there were too many expectations in this from Newcastle United with their start was also good, but suddenly they are having too many issues which bring them down badly and now most chances they are struggling for the ending in top half of the league table which is looking possible but not ideal and if things will be ended not good then most chances we will have good changes in this club because surely owners are not happy with this result, and they want good improvement which is needed changes as well injuries and few other players issues create good drama, and they also suffer badly in Champions League even their start was also good in this event.

They currently have no good chance for having anything good until end of this season because their FA Cup match is against Manchester City which is surely not going to allow them for having spot into last four and their all other options are near to end for the good end of this season with this all now most chances things will be taken good change, and we can expect good performance from them as well.

[Solidized]

FA Cup become the only one opportunity left for Manchester United winning the trophy after gap many points in Premier League and I don't sure Erik ten Hag have enough compete to make miracle for domestic league winner. In Fa Cup 5th round, Manchester United has away match for facing Nottingham Forest, Erik ten Hag have to forget last match losses against Fulham and keep trying to win the left opportunity for getting trophy in this season.
Nottingham Forest performance still not consistent yet after losing last match in Premier League against Aston Villa and other side their position standings in domestic league left fewest points with relegation zone and likely FA Cup match against Manchester United will use their second players composition.

Luckily Man United managed to get the win in that match even though the match looked very tight and Nottingham Forest also played well by carrying out several attacks which did not result in goals. There were a number of opportunities that neither team was able to take advantage of and Man United was much luckier because Casimero managed to score a single goal for the Red Devils to win.

Even though Nottingham Forest's performance was inconsistent, in that match they played quite well and Man United even had a bit of trouble for them because Nottingham Forest played more aggressively. Man United had a number of opportunities which were not converted into goals because the goalkeeper's defense was very swift in blocking the ball and Tunner's reflexes were really good because he managed to make several saves.

The red devils were actually favorite to win the game because they have more quality and experience players

If Man United still want to enter the Europa League then at least they can get just 1 point. But in recent years I have always been pessimistic about Man United. Man United's game dominance is always inferior to Man City. The possession of the ball and the final result prove that Man City is very dominant. Man United currently seems to lose strength when facing big clubs. Poor handling, poor play, no confidence and no fighting spirit. So I think Man United will lose.

The Manchester derby is one of the most exciting matches to look forward to, even though before the match starts we can easily guess that Man City will be able to secure full points. I also believe that Ten Hag fleet will again lose points to Man City, because in many aspects Pep fleet really deserves to be the favorite. Of course this derby is very full of egos, but the current strengths of the two teams are very different.

Last week, United surprisingly lost to Fulham at Old Trafford, and seeing as their next opponent is Man City, I think it will be difficult for Ten Hag to create a turning point in performance. Apart from that, Man City need for an additional 3 points definitely encourages them to work harder, because losing points at times like this will make their chances of winning a trophy more difficult.

Liverpool-Man City-Arsenal are all separated by only 1 point, how important are 3 points now, where Man City other two rivals are facing easier matches. On the other hand, United actually really needs him because Ten Hag has the ambition to break into the top 4 of the standings, even though we understand that this is very difficult to do. Because United has to wait for Tottenham and Aston Villa to stumble, and United must continue to be consistent to be able to realize their ambitions.

So true. In my opinion, Newcastle United still needs time to become a serious competitor in Europe and the EPL. So it's natural that they were eliminated in the UCL group stage because they haven't appeared there for 2 decades. And they also performed poorly in the EPL this season unlike last season. However, I am sure that Newcastle United can still compete for a place among European clubs in the future with the club owner from an Arab prince of course he will try to bring in the best players in the future.

Because to be a great team in the EPL league not only requires skill and mentality, but also squad depth with skills that are evenly distributed and not far from the quality of the core team. EPL is the most populous league in the world. because there is League, Carabao, FA, UEFA/Champions, not to mention FIFA friendlies and international cups. You can play 3 times a week, especially on Boxing Day. So Newcastle United still has a lot to improve if they want to become a strong team and all of this requires a process.

[Lannakosa]

Manchester United won the match but the better team for me was Nottingham Forest. They used the counterattacks and would have scored some goals if not for the quality goalkeeping from Andre Onana. I didn't hear much from the critics of the Cameroonian international because he is gradually proving his worth. United's defense was shaky as they kept making some costly mistakes. Kudos to Casemiro for the goal and it was also a wonderful delivery from Bruno Fernandes. United looked weak also in the attack because we didn't see much from Marcus Rashford and the other attackers. Nottingham Forest the only opportunity they have to win their trophy after a long period, however, they should be proud that they gave United a good fight.

Sometimes Onana can play very good matches without making mistakes, but Nottingham are not the strongest team in attack either. When Manchester United lost to Fulham, I think the second was conceded due to Onan’s fault, maybe not everyone will agree with me, the defenders are also at fault, and the team as a whole was determined to win this match, maybe they were too carried away with the attack and neglected to defend their goal.

Nottingham did what they could, but Manchester United are stronger than them, there is no doubt about that. Rashford seems to play well in moments, but it seems to me that the attacking players do not have a coordinated game, they act separately, there is no necessary interaction.

Newcastle have just conceded one more goal to allow Arsenal lead with three goals. So much jubilation from the fans as Saka put the ball into the goal net after a skillful finish and put the ball in the far side of the post. Arsenal are really in good form and nothing can stop them from triumphing in this match. They are so ready to fight for the top spot and the way there playing, they’ll make it to that top once more. Newcastle United performance has reduced so much and unlike the way they started at tge beginning of the season. I don’t even see them getting the possibility of making it to the top four with this performance by end of the season.

Arsenal are unstoppable, they won smoothly against Newcastle, and you can be sure that Arsenal will continue to be close to Man City and Liverpool for the top 3 positions in the EPL standings. From the start, it was predicted that Newcastle would not be able to beat Arsenal, their performance continues to decline.
In fact, of the 26 matches that have taken place, Newcastle have lost 11 times and drawn 4 times, this bad result means that they will continue to be in the middle of the EPL standings until the end of the season maybe.

Overall, even looking at the pre-match stats you could initially say they couldn't win, and it turned out that way, you're right. They were much more confident last season than they are now, they may be in the top 10, but is that a result for them? I think not. Moreover Arsenal are competing very closely with Liverpool and Manchester City at the moment, which the fans can't help but enjoy

I don't recognize Newcastle United. There is almost no trace of the team that played a great game in the league last year. They couldn't show any presence against Arsenal. Arsenal beat them comfortably. If Chelsea wins their missing match, Newcastle United will drop another place. Chelsea and Newcastle are two teams that do not deserve to be in these places. This year they no longer have a claim, but I hope they won't have such times next year.

I would argue about Chelsea, because Chelsea are in these positions for the second season in a row and they have specific problems that they don't solve for some reason, leaving everything as it is, that's why they are in such a position in the table. Hopefully Newcastle learn from their mistakes and will be much better next season already

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Man City vs Man Utd
Sheff Utd vs Arsenal

Will any of the 3 title challengers drop points this weekend?

Unlikely but this is the PL, nothing is too predictable.

[Webetcoins]

I can't remember the last time Man UTD put up a fight against Man City even with their complete squad not to talk of now where they are standing with one leg. It's not really going to be as exciting as it used to be in the days of Ronaldo and the rest and I'm sure many fans will come just to see Pep's men humiliate Erik's guys and further mount pressure on the fact that he isn't the right coach to bring Man UTD back to the way they were when Alex Ferguson coached them. Funny thing about United is they aren't coordinated and meeting a club who plays in sync will be a difficult thing for them to manage.

Manchester City won most of recent matches but if you look for a win from Manchester United, it is not too far. Last season, they beat Manchester City 2 - 1 on 14 January 2023.
https://www.soccerpunter.com/h2h/Manchester-City-vs-Manchester-United/9/14/

This coming derby will be very difficult for Manchester United because they have not good form and their opponent have very excellent performances recent weeks. Haaland and De Bruyne are ready to tear Manchester United's defense system apart and they are able to do it together.

With these players in Manchester United, they don't have strong mentality and if they get a conceded goal first, they can collapse easily. Manchester City can exploit weak mentality of opponent to make a big win.

In 27th round, we have too many interesting matches but currently too much talk about Manchester derby even most of the fans know how things will be gone in this match because Manchester United is currently suffering badly and having too many issues which are needed to be settled otherwise they can face consequences in future as well in last game against Nottingham Forest their performance were below then expectations so now in this derby game most chances we will have another defeat for them because their injured players are not able to recover, and their available players are also not capable of giving their best.

In last January, they beat Manchester City, but now situation is completely changed, and Manchester City is having good squad which is chasing for the two titles with things are surely not easy but still we can expect good win for the Citizens in this derby game.

[Mayor of ogba]

In your opinion, on Matchday 27, which match will be the most interesting to watch?
For me, the match I am most looking forward to and perhaps the one that interests me the most is the Man City vs Man United match. Because I think these two clubs from the same city will really put on a super aggressive match. And actually I am curious about the performance of Man City, who managed to score many goals in the match against Luton and whether Man City can also do the same thing against Man United.

Actually I like the Manchester derby. It was one of the most exciting derbies in the English league. But in the last few seasons Manchester United has really turned into a mediocre team. They performed badly and I think at the moment they are not at the same level as City. So I think the Manchester derby this time is for City to win. This is not like the previous few seasons where the match between the two teams was a Bigmatch and the result of the match could not be determined because both teams had the same strength.

The Manchester derby was one of the exciting derby to watch as the outcome usually ends in a fight but since Manchester United left her position to a small club in EPL the outcome of the match is easily predicted by everyone because Manchester City is now a big team bigger than Manchester United in terms of performance and number of recent matches won.

The Manchester derby is an amazing derby to watch in the Premier League. But since Manchester United started being inconsistent in the Premier League for some years, Manchester City has won Manchester United more, even with a big goal difference. Before the Manchester derby starts, people have already predicted that Manchester City will beat Manchester United. 

[bitpotter]

I do not think that Manchester United can beat Liverpool at this point Liverpool hardly loses their matches, so playing against Manchester United is like playing against some kind of armature. Manchester United lacks a lot of things, it has been a long time since Liverpool lost a game and the only people that Liverpool is scared of now are Manchester City. The only personal injury that affects Liverpool should be Salah. Manchester United's improvement is seasonal they can win or fail tomorrow. The only team that is consistent with their game is Manchester City, even now, Liverpool is just leading us by one point.

I agree, because it is not easy to beat Liverpool and even if necessary, Jurgen Klopp will still use his young players to fight Manchester United. We see that Manchester United is like Chelsea and I don't think Liverpool needs to use their main players if only to get rid of Manchester United in the FA Cup round. Mohamed Salah is still injured and it has been a while, but it is also evident that Liverpool are fine.

[Issa56]

Manchester United could have luck in the match against Liverpool if it turns out that Liverpool's main players who are still injured do not recover quickly.

Even with some Liverpool players being on injury, I still think Manchester United will find it kind of difficult to win the match. Manchester United are not really a club that we should be confident of this season, they are inconsistent this season, and they are full of surprises. They do end up misbehaving in matches you will never expect them to perform poorly. As we all see the way Liverpool are playing this season, they are ready to defeat any club that comes their way this season. Playing against Manchester United in the FA Cup might just be another easy match for them.

But if Liverpool can play with a full squad in the FA Cup against Manchester United then it will be the most difficult match for Manchester United. But I'm curious whether Manchester United has really improved or not. And maybe the answer will be in the final result of the Manchester City vs Manchester United match.

Manchester United's next match is against a strong team,let’s see the result of the match, but I know Manchester City will win the match because all their key players are back to form and they will do everything to win the match, so let’s expect another loss from Manchester United in their next match.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Man City vs Man Utd
Sheff Utd vs Arsenal

Will any of the 3 title challengers drop points this weekend?

Unlikely but this is the PL, nothing is too predictable.

It is very likely that Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal will get full points this week, Man United will find it very difficult to block Man City consistency, although it is feared that Pep Guardiola squad will be forced to draw by Man United. Measuring the strength of Pep Guardiola current squad and comparing it with Ten Hag squad, I think the statistics for both give an idea that Man City is much better at the moment. That doesn't mean there are no possible surprises, it could be Arsenal and Liverpool who will drop points and so on. On paper, the three clubs challenging for the title face easy opponents, if one of them loses points then the chances of winning the trophy will automatically become very slim.

Betting on Liverpool and Arsenal winning is considered very safe, but for the Man City versus Man United match, consideration is needed, because there is a possibility that the two will draw. Apart from all that, it looks like Ten Hag will fail to bring his team to finish in the Champions League and only has the chance to appear in the Europa League next season.

The only team that is consistent with their game is Manchester City, even now, Liverpool is just leading us by one point.

People may assume Man United to beat Liverpool because many Liverpool players got injury in the recent time. However, it seems not a big problem for Liverpool because they keep winning each match, including the previous match in FA Cup. They won the match with 3 goals, without conceded any goal. Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns are 2 players who contributed in scoring goals in that match. Honestly, I just know these players, they are not familiar players. Although they have no Salah and Darwin Nunez, there are always other players who can score goals. This showed that Liverpool is still strong enough to beat Man United. It is different with Man United who seemed very difficult to win the previous match in FA Cup. They only played against Nottm Forest, but they only scored a single goal in minute 89'.

The only thing that can happen is that there might be a chance for Manchester United to draw Liverpool.

If they get a draw, there should be a penalty shootout. It is difficult to determine which team to win in penalty shootout. However, experienced players must have a better mentality in penalty shootout.

[Raflesia]

Casemiro was the decisive winner for Manchester United in this match in the 5th round of the FA Cup for Manchester United.
His late goal was able to make Manchester United advance to the next round and it made me quite happy with the final result given because in the end with Manchester United's victory in this match made my multi for Liverpool. Manchester United and Chelsea ended up with a pretty good advantage.

Overall, Nottingham Forrest actually played very well even though the flow of the game was completely controlled by Manchester United but in terms of opportunities Nottingham Forrest also did a very good thing because they could compensate for what Manchester United did it's just that at the crucial time they failed to concentrate which made them have to be willing to lose in normal time which only had 1 minute left.

Manchester United almost killed me and I am very grateful that Casemiro still has a winning mentality even though he is now playing for Manchester United. Thanks to his goal in the last minute, I was able to experience a multibet victory this morning because other FA Cup matches such as Liverpool vs Southampton and Chelsea vs Leeds all had no doubt about the result. I rarely bet on Manchester United matches but seeing them having so much trouble scoring goals finally made me annoyed. I don't know where Rashford and Antony's roles seem to be completely useless and I'm really sad because Hojlund is still injured.

Despite all that, I am very satisfied with the results of this multibet and I still can't believe Liverpool still won so easily with their young squad. However, on the other hand, Chelsea is still having a lot of trouble with its best squad against Leeds, therefore I prefer to bet on the result of over 3 goals and it has been proven that so many goals have been scored considering that Leeds' quality cannot be underestimated as one of the strongest teams in the championship this season.

Well it was quite tense and indeed I felt what you feel when you see the result unchanged even the match is almost over but fortunately in this match Casemiro changed my luck because after all with the 1 goal he created even though it was a little late but in the end it was able to avoid defeat.
I'm also rarely on Manchester United and Chelsea but looking at the opponents in the match and with a situation where it's not EPL then I'm a little more brave to make a multi bet in this match.
Btw that's a pretty good handicap mate because I think it's a mutli with a pretty good return.

Casemiro was the decisive winner for Manchester United in this match in the 5th round of the FA Cup for Manchester United.
His late goal was able to make Manchester United advance to the next round and it made me quite happy with the final result given because in the end with Manchester United's victory in this match made my multi for Liverpool. Manchester United and Chelsea ended up with a pretty good advantage.

Overall, Nottingham Forrest actually played very well even though the flow of the game was completely controlled by Manchester United but in terms of opportunities Nottingham Forrest also did a very good thing because they could compensate for what Manchester United did it's just that at the crucial time they failed to concentrate which made them have to be willing to lose in normal time which only had 1 minute left.

Nothingham Forest as always would always want to make good use of the wings and they hurt Manchester United with those runs. Tonight, Elanga, Gibbs, Divock Origi and Hudson Odoi could not be of help for Nothingham Forest just like they did during the Premier League Competition.

Sofyan Amrabat was my man of the match tonight, he did had a good game and most people will not say nothing about him. Him present gave Casemiro the chance to advance more though they lacked chemistry and couldn't keep good ball possession during the game.
I don't know if Erik Ten Hag is blind, is it difficult for him to see that a player like Rashford should be dropped on the bench for some few games?

Congratulations to Manchester United as they advance into the next round of the Fa Cup Competition.

Yeah Origi became one of the very good attacking motors for Nottingham in this match because after all with some of the opportunities they had from Nottingham Forest actually it was created from some of Origi's movements which were quite good and troubled the Manchester United defense but on the other hand in this match I also noticed some passing errors made which were a little dangerous for Manchester United fortunately Onana was still quite alert in blocking and making several saves.
Both teams actually played quite well, it's just that there are some weaknesses that still can't be fixed but in this match fortunately Manchester United had Casemiro who bent the ball a little which in the end it turned into a goal even though in this match Turner also played very well under the Nottingham Forrest bar.

[BITCOIN4X]

~Snip

Sometimes Onana can play very good matches without making mistakes, but Nottingham are not the strongest team in attack either. When Manchester United lost to Fulham, I think the second was conceded due to Onan’s fault, maybe not everyone will agree with me, the defenders are also at fault, and the team as a whole was determined to win this match, maybe they were too carried away with the attack and neglected to defend their goal.

Nottingham did what they could, but Manchester United are stronger than them, there is no doubt about that. Rashford seems to play well in moments, but it seems to me that the attacking players do not have a coordinated game, they act separately, there is no necessary interaction.

Nottingham did their best to avoid defeat, but in the end they also had to give up after Casemiro scored a goal a few minutes before the end. Both teams had chances, but strong defense and poor finishing made it difficult for them to score goals.

Manchester United won the match with a score of 0-1 and that was a good enough ending to the match. The next match is very tough, especially because Manchester City does not want to lose the opportunity to take the top of the standings from Liverpool. The derby is very important for Manchester City and I don't think they will give Manchester United many chances.

[Rengga Jati]

(...)
Arsenal won 4 - 1 from Newcastle. This really made a very satisfying result for Arsenal, which is  really struggling to take over their top position. However, the current conditions do not seem to be able to be met because after all Man City and Liverpool are still the two clubs that are most important to them in the Premier League.
(...)

Arsenal really seem to be enjoying themselves recently with a series of confident wins. They scored 20 goals in the last 5 Premier League games, giving an amazing 4 goals per game average. This also includes their precious win against Liverpool.
There's a chance they could attack the 2nd place in the next round, as Man City is playing Man United. Even though City is a big favourite, with experts giving them 75% chance of winning and only 10% to United) derby games are always unpredictable and anything can happen.
Arsenal will be playing an away game against Sheffield, who are at the very bottom of the table. Arsenal's chances of getting 3 points are estimated at 83%.

Yeah, this will be a very important match for Man City. Because if they lose or only draw against Man United, while Arsenal wins, then second place will immediately be taken over. This is of course a problem for Man City, which in fact is currently chasing Liverpool in first place.

However, I am sure that Man City can win against Man United. Especially if we look at the results of their last match yesterday, where the combination of Haaland and de Bruyne was very deadly, hopefully they can really work really well in the EPL against Man United. It won't be as easy as it was against Luton Town yesterday, but Man City certainly won't waste this opportunity, right?

[Ryu_Ar1]

Sometimes Onana can play very good matches without making mistakes, but Nottingham are not the strongest team in attack either. When Manchester United lost to Fulham, I think the second was conceded due to Onan’s fault, maybe not everyone will agree with me, the defenders are also at fault, and the team as a whole was determined to win this match, maybe they were too carried away with the attack and neglected to defend their goal.

Talking about Onana's performance in the last few matches, he actually deserves to be praised for his performance because after all, by looking at what he has shown in the last few matches he has at least not always been a clown and a mockery for making losses for Manchester United but still his performance is still not as good as what he showed at Inter.

Even so, I think it is still a positive thing for Onana because after all, due to his good performance at least Manchester United are a little better than before and make their goal quite safe from conceding the ball.

In the match against Nottingham yesterday there were some pretty good saves from Onana because even though there were some mistakes made in defense it could be overcome with a pretty good performance from him.

[Huppercase]

So true. In my opinion, Newcastle United still needs time to become a serious competitor in Europe and the EPL. So it's natural that they were eliminated in the UCL group stage because they haven't appeared there for 2 decades. And they also performed poorly in the EPL this season unlike last season. However, I am sure that Newcastle United can still compete for a place among European clubs in the future with the club owner from an Arab prince of course he will try to bring in the best players in the future.

Because to be a great team in the EPL league not only requires skill and mentality, but also squad depth with skills that are evenly distributed and not far from the quality of the core team. EPL is the most populous league in the world. because there is League, Carabao, FA, UEFA/Champions, not to mention FIFA friendlies and international cups. You can play 3 times a week, especially on Boxing Day. So Newcastle United still has a lot to improve if they want to become a strong team and all of this requires a process.

It's crazy to see Newcastle that was among the most talked and discussed club that finished as the top 4 but now struggling to stay between top 10, they are one of the team with the worst performance of the season, they didn't make it out of the group stage of the Champions League neither will they be going back again to try again next season because they didn't finish among the top 4 or wouldn't finish rather. Their last game with Arsenal is one of the one I was thinking they will do well and they never did and it's going to be the last I think will watch for their match.

Let's not sugar coat Newcastle performance, Chelsea is going to make a place in the either Europa conference league or the Europa League, the only thing that differentiate them from Chelsea is just a single match and I think because Chelsea has been there, Pochettino recovery in games is likely to bring them up than for Newcastle that has been sinking downward in the table.
