Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[borovichok]

I agree with you. It is not the fault of Klopp but the players because the allowed Man United to have an upper hand in the extra time which led to United pressuring their defense. However, it is not a must that Liverpool should win the game, and this is why I would say that luck didn't favor any team, but what favored Manchester united was the zeal and determination that they can still win the match. It was a good day for the red devils, as they were able to play with the spirit of the old Manchester united in this game, turning things around even when everybody thought that it is over for them.

Liverpool played not too bad but it is not their day and Manchester United players suddenly played better than they often shown recent weeks. I see this defeat is helpful for Liverpool because they will no longer have to worry about FA Cup. By that, they will have more chances to focus on Premier League and Europa League and winning either Premier League or Europa League will be bigger achievement for them than winning FA Cup.

Manchester United will have chance to win FA Cup to avoid another season without title. If they win it, it is a small achievement for them but it won't be enough to make their club strength is stronger and become more competitive next season. To be stronger, they have many things to do for improvement in their squad and tactics.

Even though Manchester United managed to qualify for the semifinals and will only play against Coventry, of course, it is certain that Manchester United will also qualify for the final match. But unfortunately, in the final match Manchester United will face Chelsea or Manchester City but yes, if for example in the final match Manchester United meet or play against Manchester City, then I personally am not sure Manchester United can beat Manchester City. Therefore, even though Manchester United is certain to play in the FA Cup final, but there is still no strong guarantee for Manchester United to get the FA Cup trophy.

Erik Ten Hag is yet to lift the important trophies for Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag knocking Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool from the FA Cup just save his day and also boosts the confidence, that's how to win big games this season. Manchester United coach, Erik Ten Hag is always here to ensure things works exactly perfect and smooth for his club, there's absolutely no room for reluctance because he's aiming for title winning this season. We know how he poses when he's desperately pulling targets on titles.

The FA Cup trophy are mainly for the serious team and Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are the prominent Champions, one of them will become champions of the FA Cup this season. Manchester United played their best because Liverpool is one of the problematic opponents they have this season. Its still huge surprised to see the Red Devils kicks out Liverpool from the FA Cup quarterfinals. The vast number of the supporters was in support of Liverpool but they were shocked to understand and see how everything resulted at the end.

[rangga28]

If they had nothing else going for them then maybe they would have cared, but they do have the league title race going right now so they would probably care less. It would have been nice, but it just didn't happen. Think about it, we are talking about a potential 4 cup season, that would have been insane.

At the same time, now they have one title possibility as well, they already won one, so they will end with just one, but they may lose the league and europa too. So if they end up like that, then I would assume that they would be pretty upset about that without a doubt. I think it's clear that they will try their best on everything that is left, at least they could give it a shot and see how they will do eventually for sure.

Actually, the target of achieving four titles is quite reasonable because Liverpool is actually capable of doing that, but in reality they had to forget about that beautiful dream because they had to be eliminated very painfully by Manchester United. Now Liverpool are once again hoping for luck in the Premier League and Europa League, of course the two remaining trophies are prestigious enough to always be able to get. The opportunities for the Reds are quite open, it's just that Klopp must always be self-aware and use yesterday's defeat as a lesson. But what is clear is that it is not easy for anyone to win the EPL trophy.

[punk.zink]

The truth of the matter is that I never expected Manchester United to eliminate Liverpool from the English FA Cup competition and I'm sure I'm not the only one had expected a Liverpool win in that match but football isn't played in the back pages of newspapers. Liverpool without doubt was the better team during the normal time of the game and had they converted most of their clear chances they missed, Liverpool would've won that game without playing in extra time but unfortunately for them, they failed to be as prolific as they should be and that's why the game reached the extra time which Manchester United still came from behind to win.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been receiving a lot of praises because of the result of the game and how he was able to make the tactical changes that helped his team win that game and if you ask me , I think he deserves every applaud he's getting.
Manchester United will face Coventry in the semi finals of the English FA Cup and despite the fact that Coventry have been very outstanding this season in the English FA Cup, I expect Manchester United to eliminate them akd reach final of the competition.

What I saw in this match, Man United had a mentality that they don't usually have. It's rare to see them play like that, where they can maintain their enthusiasm and efforts even though they are in an unfavorable position. Their performance is clearly below Liverpool's but that didn't make Man United just give up. This is almost similar to what happened at the Champion Final in 1999 where Man United can get a comeback at the end of the match because of their tenacity.

I think Liverpool were also caught off guard, when they thought that the match would continue with a penalty shootout, they forgot that Man United still had the stamina and speed to carry out a counterattack, and it turned out that their carelessness really became a nightmare for them.

[Issa56]

That match really surprised me honestly, Manchester united players fought like wounded lions . I thought that match meant easy win for Liverpool, but with all their squad, they lost out of the competition. Somehow the results impressed me to see Liverpool lose their position for underestimating Manchester united.

Everyone is just talking about Manchester United performance in their last match, Nobody expected that kind of performance from Manchester United, I never believed they will win the match, but the result of the match was really surprising, maybe Liverpool have learnt their lesson, don’t underestimate any club, Manchester United inconsistency this season made Liverpool underestimated them, but Manchester United surprised them. Congrats to Manchester United, they really deserve the result of the match because they played well in the match, they never relent from the beginning of the match till when the match ended, which really helped them.

If Liverpool can't get a win in that game (FA CUP) I think this is the time for them to start struggling in the EPL and the top 3 is going to be hotter than they can imagine unless Arsenal will start losing points for Liverpool to top them, but let's see what Klopp can do to amend his mistake.

Yesterday's defeat was not Jurgen Klopp's fault because Klopp had directed his players to play their best.
Not being able to win against them in the FA Cup, doesn't mean Liverpool can't take back the best position in the Premier League. The European League is still a big opportunity for Liverpool to achieve.

There is still a chance to beat Manchester United which will be scheduled for April 7.
Two matches before facing Manchester United, Liverpool has the opportunity to return to the top because Arsenal will challenge Manchester City and in that week Liverpool will be back on top.

Actually, the target of achieving four titles is quite reasonable because Liverpool is actually capable of doing that, but in reality they had to forget about that beautiful dream because they had to be eliminated very painfully by Manchester United. Now Liverpool are once again hoping for luck in the Premier League and Europa League, of course the two remaining trophies are prestigious enough to always be able to get. The opportunities for the Reds are quite open, it's just that Klopp must always be self-aware and use yesterday's defeat as a lesson. But what is clear is that it is not easy for anyone to win the EPL trophy.

Liverpool should know that winning four trophies in a season is not easy and will require them to be more tougher than the way they’re currently playing. Their performance is good but not enough to win all of the trophies in the four competitions they are competing in this season. After their yesterday’s defeat to Manchester United which was actually surprising to me, they still have two more competitions they’re participating in after triumphing in one of them when they won Chelsea in the finals some weeks ago.

In the Europa League, they seem to be one of the favourites for the cup but they need to be able to beat all the other teams to make their way to the final which I feel is the most difficult part for them. Bayern Leverkusen who are dominating their league are potential favourite for the trophy and they would have to beat them in the finals to triumph in this competition too. With the draws of the Europa League, Bayern Leverkusen can make it to the final as well as Liverpool where they’ll play the big game between themselves to get a winner.

The premier league is also much available for Liverpool to win also, but they need to be at their best form and try not lose any match again while hoping for their closest rivals to drop points. It’s a tight leave to decide now, but the best team will prevail in this.

[Queentoshi]

I can't blame Liverpool for losing, they had a lot of injuries and they also had the league and Europa to fight for. Manchester United only has the FA Cup.

While Liverpool will be focusing on the Premier League that they are still contenders to win some drama has been started at the bottom of the table. Struggling Nottingham Forest have had four points deducted from what they have this season for breaking financial rules.
https://www.livescore.com/en/news/nottingham-forest-premier-league-four-points-deducted-2024031813591554861/

It is good news for Luton because they are now out of the relegation zone and ahead of Nottingham Forest with a point.

Everton were found guilty earlier this season and had ten points deducted, later reduced to six points after an appeal. Nottingham Forest had only four points deducted because they did not try to mislead the investigation like Everton were accused of which resulted to more points deducted. Maybe Nottingham Forest will try to appeal.

Winning the quadruple will only remain a dream in a league like the premier league. If it was easy Manchester City would have achieved this. You see this kind of dreams
will take forever to achieve. There are many teams who are hungry for trophy in the premier league so achieving the quadruple won't be very easy, at some point you have to also consider the players, as these competition are taking place same season and the players needs to rest as well. When you have a league that have up to 6 strong teams capable of winning the league, it will be difficult to keep competing in all front.

It was a sad loss and a disappointing performance, but the good thing is not in the league.
There are bigger games to come, onto the EPL and Europa League.
And I know Liverpool has been amazing this season for real, one bad game doesn't mean this team is bad.
It could even be a blessing in disguise, they will learn and win more prestigious trophies.
And I still believe Liverpool will come back stronger.

The astounding performance by Manchester United in their recent match against Liverpool left spectators in awe, including myself. I never anticipated such a remarkable display of skill and determination from the team. Despite Liverpool's commendable effort, Manchester United's performance surpassed all expectations.They played well and able to secured their qualification to the next level. The way they outperformed Liverpool indicates the potential for a promising future in the league. If Manchester United can maintain this level of excellence, there's a real possibility of them securing a spot in the top four by the end of the season. While I was thrilled about Manchester United's qualification, the disappointment of losing my bet lingered, serving as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of sports.

[red4slash]

Even though Manchester United managed to qualify for the semifinals and will only play against Coventry, of course, it is certain that Manchester United will also qualify for the final match. But unfortunately, in the final match Manchester United will face Chelsea or Manchester City but yes, if for example in the final match Manchester United meet or play against Manchester City, then I personally am not sure Manchester United can beat Manchester City. Therefore, even though Manchester United is certain to play in the FA Cup final, but there is still no strong guarantee for Manchester United to get the FA Cup trophy.

But indeed for the semi-finals at least they are possible to win because their opponent is Coventry City who surprisingly can be in the semi-finals because their opponents are still quite comparable to the quality of the players, it's just that for the semi-finals against Manchester United it allows them to fall and have to end their hopes of being in the final.
But I agree with what you said because Manchester United's task is still quite heavy especially to see the final. They are favourites in the semi-finals but not necessarily for the final because looking at the other pots in the semi-finals there are Chelsea and Manchester City which are indeed 2 big clubs. The ideal final for the FA Cup might be Manchester City facing Manchester United but certainly it will be a tough test for Manchester United in giving the trophy that they can still fight for but it is definitely difficult to get.

Its still huge surprised to see the Red Devils kicks out Liverpool from the FA Cup quarterfinals. The vast number of the supporters was in support of Liverpool but they were shocked to understand and see how everything resulted at the end.

The efforts of Manchester United and their coach in the FA Cup quarter-finals paid off by winning the match against Liverpool. Their trip to the final is probably more likely than Chelsea or Manchester City, I mean Manchester United only met weak teams in the semifinals and that was lucky. The fans and everyone in the squad may be grateful for that, but I think their fight in the FA Cup is not over yet.

One of Chelsea or Manchester City will reach the final this season. The second match will be a match that is highly anticipated, but to be honest, I hope that Manchester City can really qualify for the final and win the title no matter who challenges them. The chances of Manchester City and Manchester United getting to the final are certainly higher than for Ceventry City and Chelsea, but we all never know whether Chelsea and Coventry will just give up in the semifinals.

Actually, the target of achieving four titles is quite reasonable because Liverpool is actually capable of doing that, but in reality they had to forget about that beautiful dream because they had to be eliminated very painfully by Manchester United. Now Liverpool are once again hoping for luck in the Premier League and Europa League, of course the two remaining trophies are prestigious enough to always be able to get. The opportunities for the Reds are quite open, it's just that Klopp must always be self-aware and use yesterday's defeat as a lesson. But what is clear is that it is not easy for anyone to win the EPL trophy.

Now it's important for Liverpool to make some changes and focus on their competition. 1 trophy they have got and there are still 2 competitions they have to finish because after all the competition still continues especially for the EPL so instead of just having to dwell on mistakes because they had to lose to Manchester United yesterday they currently have to be able to focus more and correct existing mistakes because indeed their performance yesterday was very good just that there were some mistakes that occurred due to fatigue and lack of concentration that made Liverpool have to give up the semi-finals to Manchester United.

But with this, they will also be freer to focus on the EPL and Europa League because with their elimination from the FA Cup it can provide a situation where Klopp is not too concerned with player rotation and shortening players. Currently Salah is back and this can be used as a good weapon for Liverpool in continuing the competition they are doing.

[SatoPrincess]

Nottingham Forest have been deducted four points for breaching premier league profitability and sustainability rules. This deduction could see them relegated from the EPL this season. I think it is quite unfair that the Premier league are quick to penalize other teams but not Manchester City. If there is any club that should be investigated and penalized for such conduct, it should be Manchester City.

Isn't the Europa league a prestigious trophy? The Champions League is undoubtedly much cooler than the Europa League, but the Europa League trophy is bigger than the Premier League trophy I reckon,

You have to be kidding. Europa League was made for teams outside of the top four so how can you even say that winning it is bigger than the Premier League? The prestige is on the lower level since it's basically a trophy for teams that cannot win their respective domestic title or teams that cannot make it to the elite group.

Both the Champions League and the Europa League are organized by the same governing body which is UEFA.

Of course but so what? Why does that information even matter to the discussion? It still doesn't change the fact that Europa League trophy is not above the Premier League trophy which is the whole point of the argument. Those who competes in it are mostly the teams that are out of title contention in the domestic league.

A trophy is a trophy. Find that team that would be unhappy that they won the Europa League. don't forget that you can also qualify for the Europa League from the Champions League, so it's unlikely that a team that was high up in the EPL last season, knocked out of the Champions League group stage now will score and not try to win the Europa League(it's just example)

This is what all Manchester United fans have been hoping for, but unfortunately the team's performance to date is still very unstable. Manchester United must be able to maintain its best performance in every match, so that many plans can be achieved at the end of the season, including winning the title. I'm happy with their recent performance, so I hope Ten Hag can keep it up for the rest of the season.

Following his great FA Cup win against Liverpool, I really hope Ten Hag can do the same in Premier League games. There are many tough matches in the remainder of this season waiting for Manchester United, but if Manchester United can get through then they might be able to return to the European zone next season.

Liverpool players fans and coaches believe that they will win the quadruple in trophies but this dream was shattered after losing to Man U in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. Quadruple are not easy to achieve it is very tough for any top team.

Not being able to win against them in the FA Cup, doesn't mean Liverpool can't take back the best position in the Premier League. The European League is still a big opportunity for Liverpool to achieve.

Two matches before facing Manchester United, Liverpool has the opportunity to return to the top because Arsenal will challenge Manchester City and in that week Liverpool will be back on top.

The Premier League and FA Cup are two different competitions, so I think the match atmosphere will be different too. Jurgen Klopp just has to try to accept the fact that they lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup, but Klopp will try to make up for it in the Premier League.

Ten Hag was happy with the results in the FA Cup, but Manchester United's journey in the Premier League will certainly still be difficult. Ten Hag must fight to perform optimally until the end of the season when his team is required to qualify for Europe. Tottenham and Aston Villa are two better teams in the Premier League than Manchester United, so things are still difficult to hope for as long as Tottenham and Aston Villa do not drop points in the remainder of the season.

[kawetsriyanto]

This is what all Manchester United fans have been hoping for, but unfortunately the team's performance to date is still very unstable. Manchester United must be able to maintain its best performance in every match, so that many plans can be achieved at the end of the season, including winning the title. I'm happy with their recent performance, so I hope Ten Hag can keep it up for the rest of the season.

All the fans expected the improvement of Man United under Ten Hag's management. However, it seems the fans have tired with Man United and Ten Hag because they always played inconsistently. Although they could beat Liverpool in the recent match of FA Cup, it is unlikely to guarantee anything. I just beleive that Man United to reach the final of FA Cup because they only need to play against Coventry in the semi-final. I think Man United is lucky to face a small team. But it seems hard to win the trophy because they may face Man City in the final match.

Following his great FA Cup win against Liverpool, I really hope Ten Hag can do the same in Premier League games. There are many tough matches in the remainder of this season waiting for Manchester United, but if Manchester United can get through then they might be able to return to the European zone next season.

I doubt if Man United can play well in EPL. As long as they are still unstable, it is difficult to expect they will improve their performance in EPL. If they win in FA Cup, it may be Man United play with full team but other team didn't use their main team. It is different in EPL, every team must use their main team. So it will be harder to get positive points in EPL.

Actually, the target of achieving four titles is quite reasonable because Liverpool is actually capable of doing that, but in reality they had to forget about that beautiful dream because they had to be eliminated very painfully by Manchester United. Now Liverpool are once again hoping for luck in the Premier League and Europa League, of course the two remaining trophies are prestigious enough to always be able to get. The opportunities for the Reds are quite open, it's just that Klopp must always be self-aware and use yesterday's defeat as a lesson. But what is clear is that it is not easy for anyone to win the EPL trophy.

With the squad that Liverpool currently has, it is indeed difficult to target four trophies, especially since Liverpool has injured players, so it becomes an obstacle for Liverpool to focus on each competition, we can see this in the FA Cup against Manchester City. United. Klopp was too afraid of his players getting injured. This was proven when Liverpool played well. Klopp actually made substitutions so that in the end Man United managed to recover.

But true. Liverpool currently still has the opportunity to win the EPL and European League trophies. These two trophies are very prestigious, of course Klopp is more focused on this competition than other competitions. Klopp wants to leave Liverpool with a good impression, so I predict Liverpool will get at least one trophy this season between the EPL League and the Europa League.
