Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Maybe Man United fans feel happy because they can make 1 goal first. But they don't remember, Gurdiola is a genius.

Scoring Manchester City first in a match doesn’t guarantee a win, Manchester City is not a club that does give up. You know what I notice from Manchester City, if you score them first, they are always motivated, even when you play a defensive game, they will score back. So even when Manchester United scored their first goal, I was expecting Manchester City to score back, which they did, and they ended up winning the match. Manchester United had a few opportunities, but they wasted them all. Rashford was able to score one goal for Manchester United, but he wasted the remaining opportunities that he had. I never expected Manchester United to perform more than they did in the match, I knew they would lose, and it happened.

Scoring Manchester City first in a match doesn’t guarantee a win,

This is something I always tell my friends who always want Manchester City to lose. I have seen these coming back from Manchester City for a long time, and it is always Foden. The guy is a fucking goal-scoring beast. He always takes the lead for Manchester City, and before you know it, others will follow. The truth is that if you want to win against Manchester City, you have to score more than 2 goals or 3 during the first half. Because the second half is never going to be easy for you. Manchester City had a very strong comeback during the second half, but I still don't know what Pep Guardiola is telling those guys in the dressing room. But that is what they need to hear.

It's really unfortunate that Manchester United lost the Derby game after being in a winning position. The players showed poor performance and lacked team spirit, and the tactics were not up to par. City's performance yesterday was exceptional and showed how important it is to convert possession into scoring chances efficiently. Onana needs to step up his game; those goals could have been prevented if he was more focused. Additionally, the defenders, especially the defensive midfielders, need to improve as they were off their game and made some crucial errors.

Man City and Liverpool both won, so it's practically the only way for Arsenal to keep their chances in the title race remaining safe, then they also have to get a win against Sheffield. On paper, this match should be easily won by Arsenal because Sheffield United is the bottom team that has poor performance, while Arsenal is the opposite, where they are in very good condition. But Arsenal still cannot afford to be careless because no matter how easy the opponent they will face, their opponent still has the potential to make things difficult for Arsenal.

Winning today game is an absolute requirement for Arsenal to continue to be ranked third in the Premier League this season, the performance of Arsenal and Sheffield is like earth and sky so many think that Arsenal will easily beat Sheffield later but they do not think that the Premier League often presents surprises in every game that exists and no exception may happen to Arsenal later,  Sheffield are still desperate for points to at least help them get out of the relegation zone although it looks impossible for them with the remaining games available.

Although maybe Arsenal will be difficult to lose in that game but I think Arteta should not underestimate Sheffield because it could be a bomeerang that will ultimately hurt Arsenal, at the moment Arsenal game is quite consistent and can be said to be very perfect as a team that is competing for trophies and breaking the drought that has almost occurred for 20 years,  I hope Arsenal can maintain their form until the end of the season and no longer repeat every mistake that occurred in the previous season that resulted in losing the championship trophy.

As for me, I know that Manchester United will not go away with three points despite being their first team to score because of the pressure on them. It was just lucky that Manchester United used to score one goal. But seriously, I did not expect three goals from Manchester City in the second half. All I was expecting was a draw after Manchester United was able to defend their goal in the first half. It is so disappointing to see Manchester United lose the game after they were able to defend the one goal they scored in the 8th minute to the end of the first half.
 

Manchester United defense line was too porous so Onana goal conceded three goals. Manchester City managed to find gaps and weaknesses in Ten Hag men in the second half. Foden managed to be the hero of the victory, De Bruyne and Halaand didn't look very aggressive in today match. The victory achieved by Pep Guardiola squad went as predicted, and Manchester United failed to force their city rivals to a draw. Statistically, Manchester United were only able to fire three shots at the goal, and one shot on target resulted in the only goal. Meanwhile, Manchester City dominated the game, with possession of the ball and number of shots.

This victory made Manchester City continue to pressure Liverpool at the top of the standings. Pep Guardiola managed to dismiss fans concerns in this derby match, some of whom predicted that Manchester City might lose points. The impact of this defeat makes it difficult for Manchester United to finish in the top four of the standings again, which I think they can no longer achieve with the remaining games ahead. The Europa League zone is the most realistic target to achieve, but this does not guarantee that Ten Hag position will still be maintained as manager next season.

You made a good point, actually, in this important match between Manchester City and Manchester United, both teams had a good performance but some players in Manchester City could not perform like we were expecting to see from them.
While always De Bruyne and Haaland saved this team from the bad situations and the bad days, but this time while both players couldn't have good performance in this match, Phil Foden was the lifesaver for his team and he scored two goals against Manchester United.

Just because they score one goal and take the lead doesn't make them the winner, the important thing is to be ahead when the match is over. Everyone who watched the match saw that Manchester City would turn the match around, they played much better. Onana was not bad, in fact, if the score was not different, it is thanks to him. United's defense was generally poor. Any team concedes a goal against City anyway. That's why United needed to find more chances to score goals, but they couldn't do it. Even though Manchester City are currently in second place in the league, they play the best football in the league and the number one favorite for the championship.

In my opinion, Foden will save City more than anyone else this season. The match wasn’t bad, but I didn’t like how Manchester United played, they scored a goal and spent almost the rest of the game on the defensive, even when they were already losing, they couldn’t change anything. I saw what ten Hag said after the match that the players gave their all, but frankly Manchester United looked weak compared to City.
Now we are waiting for the match with Liverpool in the next round, I hope De Bruyne and Haaland will be able to better realize their opportunities in that match, because it will be a very important match.

[topbitcoin]

Well I agree that this match will be an easy match for Arsenal. In fact, we can see that Arsenal in the last 3 weeks in the Premier League has always managed to score lots of goals. Like successfully scoring 6 goals against West Ham, then scoring 5 goals against Burnley and most recently scoring 4 goals against Newcastle. So I am also sure that in today's match Arsenal will also score lots of goals. Because I think the level of goal productivity from Arsenal's front players is at their best.

In terms of probability, it will be beneficial for Arsenal because they are definitely the favorites in this match even though they are playing as an away club in this match.
Their statistics are quite different which results in us not hesitating to choose Arsenal as the winner in the match they will do.

But on the other hand we also cannot make this too easy and Arsenal should not underestimate their opponents in this match even though they are favorites now.
We know that sometimes on some occasions there are always surprises that are not even too unexpected and this could happen for Arsenal. They are indeed favorites but they should not let their guard down at all with the match that will be held in a few hours.

Arsenal's momentum is still very good and it is different from Sheffield who will be their opponent where they are still very troubled to turn things around and instead have to be in the relegation zone and make them even worse.

Arsenal must be able to get three points away match against Sheffield United if they want to compete for the Premier League trophy this season after Liverpool and Manchester City won their this week match. Current standings, Arsenal get remaining four and five points behind Manchester City and Liverpool who comfort at the top position standings.
Sheffield United is not strong opponent team for Arsenal regarding their standings on bottom position and Arsenal won't loss opportunity keep in the tittle race.
Last match Arsenal won 4-1 over Newcastle United and the opponent team Sheffield United losses against Wolves, had two consecutives losses in Premier League is not good capital for Sheffield United for facing Arsenal tonight.

Onana needs to step up his game; those goals could have been prevented if he was more focused. Additionally, the defenders, especially the defensive midfielders, need to improve as they were off their game and made some crucial errors.

United management must sell most of its players in the next transfer window if they have the ambition to beat City, including Ten Hag, who is considered worthy of leaving Old Trafford first. Pep fleet could easily turn things around in the second half, I think this season the Manchester derby is not balanced in terms of strength because United performance has dropped so much.

It is difficult to describe United situation this season, the average player in their main squad failed to show their best performance throughout the season. Hojlund injury made United sluggish on the front line, Rashford couldn't do much after scoring one goal. The storm of injuries faced by United made the derby match less balanced, maybe next season will look more intense.

Apart from the Manchester derby match, week 27 leaves one more match, where Arsenal will face Sheffield United. I predict that Arteta fleet will achieve a big victory, and they will stick tight to City and Liverpool at the top of the standings. Even though Arteta rotated most of his key players, I still think they can win easily even if they act as guests.

Basically, if the team manages to score a goal first, at least that goal will be an good asset for the team to still be able to play well, of course to maintain their lead. But unfortunately, in this match Manchester United played away and not only that, because the opponents Manchester United faced in this match clearly had very good quality compared to Manchester United. Therefore, of course, no matter how much Manchester United tries in this match, it will certainly not be successful because after all, Manchester City throughout this season has also been unbeatable when playing at home. Moreover, players like De Bruyne and Haaland also played in this match and thus, of course Manchester United had no chance of winning, and that really happened because Manchester City managed to turn things around with an impressive score too, of course.

[slapper]

Manchester United took a one-goal lead in the early stages but Manchester City pulled one back in the second half. Watched the game until 80 minutes and by then believed Manchester City would come back. I bet for Manchester City so naturally I expected Manchester City to win. Manchester City came back brilliantly in the end. Shortly after 80 minutes, Manchester City scored a great goal to lead Manchester United 2-1. Later, Haaland scored in extra time to secure the win for the team. As Manchester United was a relatively easy opponent for Manchester City, Manchester City should have secured 3 points against United and Manchester City managed to do so. Manchester City is now second in the points table with one point less than Liverpool due to 3 points against Manchester United.

At City, falling down is always tense, especially in critical matches. Your faith in City's revival was justified. They stand out because they can overcome a deficit, especially in the last minutes. I was also on edge till the end, especially after betting for City. Their second-half play was determined and skilled, as shown by Haaland's extra-time winner

This win was huge. City narrowing the deficit to one point behind Liverpool has opened up the title chase. These moments define a season, and City's comeback against United may be the catalyst. It was disappointing for United to go defensive so early. It's risky and rarely works against City's offensive firepower. City can surpass Liverpool for the Premier League title if they play like they did in the last minutes of this match

[lixer]

The match was Man City's Special Comeback in the Manchester Derby, Erling Haaland & Kevin De Bruyne were disappointing in the first half, but Phil Foden's brilliance helped Manchester City maintain their winning momentum vs Man United!.
MAN United's 3-1 victory put City in second place with 62 points and 1 point behind Liverpool. This will be a good opportunity to be in first place. Man United seems to have to settle for 6th position with 44 points.

The match was well under control of the Citizens but Manchester United having early lead, and they were able to stay ahead in first half but in second half we have nothing positive thing for them while they were also not near the goal post which help them but as expected we have good result and Manchester City back in good business because now with this win they are having good confidence and their chances are also increased for the title because next week they are going to have another big game against Liverpool and then Arsenal which is surely going to have good view about how things will be going to be ended in this season because these matches are really going to have serious turn for the title race with all top teams are facing each other.

[pawel7777]

Man City delivered big time. I thought it'll be a much harder game for them and that Man United will raise to their best, but they didn't.
United again proved that they are massively lacking in attacking power. That Rashford's goal in 8th minute was a real beauty and could somewhat explain that United wanted to focus of plying defensively, but it backfired as expected. If they wanted a win, they should've shown more initiative.
Great day for Foden, who has been in the club since he was 4 years old. Also good for Haaland for redeeming himself for that missed chance and scoring a final nail to United's coffin.
Ten Hag might be in trouble after that loss. Man Utd are now 6 points behind the 5th Tottenham, and that gap can widen as Tottenham has one more game to play.

We all know how United was struggling to survive in the league, and their best record so far this season was recently that they won straight four matches, before they got defeated by Fulham last two weeks. This shows that United have no quality to play with City, and become victorious, because they don't have what it takes to do the job. City played like the defending champions yesterday, and United played like someone who is depending on luck to win the game, without adding much effort. I don't know if they already know that it will be a difficult match for them, but just had to see if they can draw the match with the early goal scored by Rashford. They played better in the first half, than in the second half. City took advantage of the second half, and used it for a come back to win the match with three goals that they scored.

I followed a big part of the game and I can tell that Manchester United couldn't be compared by any mean to Manchester City. The gap is quite big between these two and Onana saved a couple of opportunities because if he wasn't in his day, the result would be worse.
Manchester City dominated totally the game with a lot of attempts while Manchester United only count on counterattacks to score and obviously they failed.
Haaland also wasn't seen a lot, except from the goal he scored, otherwise the result would be larger.

[boltz]

Just when I had a little faith in United to actually perform and show great football when they face a strong team ...but it all shattered in 2nd half when we barely touch the ball. I could also say fairly that United didn't deserve to score as you can't fool football like they tried to do in 1st half so that's why , I personally don't think United deserves to catch top5 in EPL this season. Teams like Aston Villa , Newcastle and Spurs deserves it more.

[Klain_Grain93]

Arsenal not winning tonight would be the greatest surprise of this season tbh. I have a parlay against them on XFun, and then one that'll actually go through lol. But seeing that they have been so dominant in Premier League lately makes me feel as if betting against them is a simple waste of money

[Cryptomultiplier]

I'd love to see the Gunners winning the Premier League Competition anyways.

Me too but Arsenal are really messing things up while they are getting close to winning the title. We saw it previously and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in this season as well.  

Otherwise Arteta has built a really good system for this team. Even though Arsenal are a really young team they are doing pretty good work about challenging for top positions. Consistency is the element which is needed for them on the final weeks. Competing against Liverpool and Manchester City for the league title is a really tough work to do now. Both of them are doing great work recently and look decisive to go for the title.  

To me I want the most deserving team to win it regardless of the fact that Manchester city have won it in the past 3years, though if arsenal won it, most football lovers will really be happy with it, but are they consistent enough to push for the title till the final day? Last season everyone thought that the title is coming to London, but arsenal blew that opportunity away by their lack of consistency in the closing stage of the premier league season, but I would have preferred Liverpool winning it, even though I still see Manchester city winning it due to debt and experience, let just watch how everything unraveled as the season goes on

I don't think this season will be like last season. We can say that Arsenal won the championship last season, but this year Liverpool is on fire. Their great form will keep them at the top. Also, they will not be complacent like Arsenal, who were ahead by a large point difference last year. If they continue like this, the championship will be theirs this year.

The difference between Arsenal and Liverpool and what it is like to be at the top and retain the spot is very clear. I believe Liverpool has shown more resilience and consistency and have a more matured team as at now compared to Arsenal.
They would definitely lift the trophy at the end of season and with few matches to go. They have just got to beat Manchester city in their oncoming clash, else their hopes will become bleak.

In less than three hours from now, the English Premier League game between Sheffield United and Arsenal at the Bramall Lane will begin and it's game Arsenal must win to keep their hopes of catching up with league leaders Liverpool. Since the start of the current league season campaign, Arsenal have scored more goals than any other team in the EPL and later tonight, I'm also expecting the gunners to convincingly defeat Sheffield Wednesday and reduce their points difference behind league leaders Liverpool and second placed Manchester City. Mikel Arteta is keen on challenging for the league title till the end of the season and if his team can continue with their current form and performances, I think winning the English Premier League title at the end of the season is very possible for them but will the other two teams that are currently above them want to allow that to happen? No is the answer and that's why Arsenal must forget whatever has happened with the club's title chase in recent years and continue to play each of their remaining fixtures in the English Premier League like they're playing a final.

Last season, Arsenal were at the top of the league table for most parts of the season but failed to end their 20 years wait for the English Premier League title and that has made a lot of people to believe that they won't be able to win the league this season especially now that Arsenal and Liverpool are currently ahead of them but personally, I think there's this spirit of resilience that's currently found in the team but was absent last season. Just like me, I think a lot of people believe that Arsenal can win the league title this season and I will be very happy if they can achieve that feat at the end of the season
