Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

There is no information about De Bruyne yet, let's hope that the injury is not so serious. It became known that Walker will be able to play against Arsenal, the injury was not serious, this is good, but with Ederson everything is not so good, according to preliminary forecasts he will be able to return to the game in mid-April, so he will most likely miss the games with Arsenal and Aston Villa, and also possibly the first game with Real Madrid in CL

If De Bruyne can't play, I think Man City's attack will decrease a little more because I see De Bruyne is the brain of the attack regulator for Man City. When he can't play, Man City's game patterns will definitely change a little and too many players who cannot play will be quite detrimental to Man City. I hope the injury is not too severe and he can play for the big match because when they lose points in this match it will make them a little difficult to pursue champions.

If this happens Arsenal will be a little more profitable and they can play more openly and not too worried about Man City's quick attack patterns. Despite losing some important players in Pep Guardiola's squad will not make their game change completely but Arsenal can be a little easier to target the draw.

Well, if De Bruyne can't play it wouldn't change much on the side of the citizens, because pep guardiola always has a replacement. However De Bruyne plays a pivotal role on that attacking midfield, because he has the ability to distribute the ball and sometimes make a goal attempt.  Pep hasn't built Manchester city on a single player, so arsenal will still have a tough game on Sunday. The tactical manoeuvre pep guardiola normally uses is to conquer the midfield and force the attack, which normally doesn't work much against arsenal because they too have players saturated at the midfield with solid defensive midfielders as well.

that's what fans expect and that expectation seems to have been there for several seasons. I don't know what Man United's real problem is. They failed to make changes even though the team they are currently developing has changed.
whether it's a problem with the coach, defense, or attack. I just think the club management is very slow in responding to improve the team's strength.
If they do better next season, I think it will also be related to a fairly major team overhaul.

But overhauls are not always effective in improving team performance however, if management builds a team in a few years it may have a significant impact on the team. Manchester City, Liverpool and now Arsenal have done it in the last few years, it's just that this golden generation is coming to an end and they have to prepare a new generation. Of course we still remember Sir Alex Ferguson well he did the same thing and was able to secure the Premier League for several seasons.

Kevin De Bruyne in the best shape possible being absent makes the team worse. I don't wanna come up with a % number by how much the team is worse, but what would the point be of being proud to have this exceptional player when he does not give the team some % points in extra performance? No, for me he is one of the best midifielders/midfield-wingers of all times. There is hardly any player who understood as well how to put his teammates into the perfect position to score. His assist numbers are widely unmatched. I don't know whether there is a leaderboard regarding number of assists historically, but if there is, I am sure he is to be found in the top 5 of all times. I am not sure how it would not be a loss for a team if such a player is absent.

Yes, Kevin De Bruyne is a very influential figure for Manchester City, he is a great leader whose presence in the team will certainly have a tremendous impact. This season I think Manchester City's weakness lies in the midfield if De Bruyne cannot play. This season, Pep Guardiola is certainly very aware of this because he lost two important figures, De Bruyne, who often suffered injuries and lost other important figures such as Gundogan, who chose to move to Barcelona. The entry of Kovacic has not been able to be a suitable replacement, so Pep Guardiola has to change his playing pattern very often, which has caused Haaland to be a little hampered up front. But City's chances are big enough to get full points because playing at the Etihad Stadium, the support of fans could be very helpful in suppressing the opponent's mentality.

It is very difficult for Manchester United to get into the top 4 places. Considering the tough rivals in the Premier League along with the point difference, I think it would be better for the league to fight to get to the European league. They had some good games against the best teams in the league, but considering the poor performance in the UCL this year, it was not the year they wanted at all.

That is not going to happen, at least I have to say I would be shocked if somehow ten Hag manages his team to achieve the top four, but as of now I would rule that possibility out at 99%. I don't know what would have to happen in order for them to climb up the table, but Manchester United is still facing Liverpool and Arsenal and some other pretty good teams. I doubt that now out of a sudden they turn into a top team and win most of their games. Even then it may not be enough as they are 9 points behind. Last season they somehow did it, but not this time.

The problems of Manchester United is inconsistency. The inconvenience might be attributed to unavailability of Manchester United players due to prolonged injuries. Erik Ten Hang has never had a handful of players available for him to choose. If defenders are available today, midfielders will not and if midfielders are available, strikers will be lacking. So, I applaud Erik Ten Hang for using an inconsistent team to go this far.

Manchester United might not be able to qualify for the top 4 this season but the management will have to buy new players for the next season in order to fight well.

But the problem that ten Hag didn't have that many players available as you are saying is not only because they were suffering from injuries all the time. One of the biggest reasons was that ten Hag scared away some of his players and made them leave the club again before they even arrived while others were ruled out by principle more or less. When ten Hag doesn't like a player, it is almost impossible for that player to ever get a fair chance to make it into the first eleven of the team. His approach sometimes seems to be too ideological in my opinion and he has an alpha male complex. He wants to have control and to prove to the whole world that he can discriminate against any player he wants because he is the boss. He is one of the worst coaches out there in my opinion.

9 games would be enough for United to go up, doesn't mean that they will, it just means that the possibility is still there. Of course the more Villa and Spurs wins, the less chance United would have, plus on top of those two losing points, we should have United not losing a single point as well. It's still possible, but I think sixth would be what they should be aiming at. That would be quite good deal and I think they should be happy with what they have, do not see any reason why they should change it.

I believe that we are going to see United do better next season, so many great young kids, and they are finally putting together a decent eleven, they had many tries but finally figured it out, a few more transfers to defense and one winger, and they should be top four easily.

Seriously, nine games is really enough for Manchester United to catch the top four before the season ends. The points gap between Aston Villa, which is in fourth place on the table with Manchester United's nine points, and Manchester United still has one outstanding match to play. If it is possible that Manchester United can win all their remaining nine matches, it is possible that they can catch up, but I don't think it is possible for them to win all the remaining matches they have left, because they still have some tough teams to play. 
 
The team I am expecting to end up in the top four is Tottenham. If they put in more effort, they may likely get the position, but for Manchester United, I can't really say they can make it to the top four this season.

Ederson and De Bruyne appear to be injured, at least that's what the news is circulating. If it is certain that the two players above will not join the team in the match against Arsenal, then it is very possible for Arsenal to get points at the Etihad Stadium. It may be difficult, but the opportunities are there and Arsenal need to maximize their ability to take points.

Without Ederson and De Bruyne, Manchester City is not a weak team, but Arsenal can exploit their weaknesses, especially if City loses stability in their midfield. I don't really expect Arsenal to have a high probability of winning on the road, so this means Manchester City tends to be the favourite.

With the way Manchester United is playing, even after nine matches are played, I don’t think they will be moving up this season, their performance has not been good this season, and both Aston Villa and Tottenham will do everything possible to maintain their current position. I know both Tottenham and Aston Villa won't be winning all their matches, but you should also know that Manchester United won’t be winning all their matches either, so it’s going to be equal. Because I know it’s not possible for Manchester United not to lose any matches with their current poor performance this season.

I believe that we are going to see United do better next season

Manchester United's performance was better last season, and we all expected them to perform better this season, but as we can see, their performance got worse this season. I am not expecting anything new from Manchester United next season.

Honestly if someone had told me that Man UTD will make the top 4 in any way they can with only 9 games before the end of this very campaign I'd laugh and if its a dream I'll wake up with a smile. Like you said they have the chance of making it to 4th position and to me the possibility of finishing among the top 4 is 2%, there's no way Man UTD can go without losing or playing draw in the next 3games, their form would speak for them.
As it is they're only rebuilding the team and no one should have that confidence that these young ones can make a difference with just 9 games to go.
I feel that this last minute project won't work out for Man UTD, they should just struggle and finish wherever they feel like because I don't think they can withstand the pressure that's coming at them in the remaining games at hand, believe me every team wants to have a little piece of Manchester United. Mark my words, Man UTD can't go unbeaten in the next 4 games starting with Brentford.

If Kevin De Bruyne do not play in that game, it will be the second time this season where he misses the game against Arsenal. I do not believe that he will not play though, it is very possible that the coach is manipulating the media to have an advantage. Even if KDB does not play, Manchester City are still very strong, because they already used to play without him as they played some games this season without him being present and were still able to win. The two coaches are not strangers, Manchester City are the top choice to win, Arsenal is not underrated.

International break was make Manchester City situation is very unfavourable because some players got injured after defend their national team and after Ederson and De Bruyne who confirmed got injured then other defender players such as John Stones possibly will be absense this because when England play against Belgium John Stones was replaced by other players in the middle of match and England national team manager has confirmed John Stones was got injured and besides all of the players above Manuel Akanji also will be doubtful to play and this is not good for Manchester City because mostly the players who got injured is defender players and this could be big lost before the match against Arsenal

Actually Arsenal had same problem but their conditions a bit better compared to Manchester City because at Arsenal squad only Gabriel who doubtful to play and about Bukayo Saka Arteta was confirmed he is in the good fitness and will be available this weekend and few days ago i have predict Manchester City will be able to overcomes Arsenal but the current situations of Manchester City is makes me doubt they can able to do that

EPL matches becomes boring without the interference of these outstanding players. Everything will worked in due time, everyone needs to be patient becauset the slightest mistakes will give opponents work. Manchester City would have crumbled in performance but overlooking certain sectors. Pep Guardiola knows what to do when it comes to injuries in his squad, he ensured he has good replacement for them and not relenting efforts. Manchester City goalkeeper, Ederson injured, atleast he has good time and represents his s side well enough.

[Weawant]

Well, if De Bruyne can't play it wouldn't change much on the side of the citizens, because pep guardiola always has a replacement. However De Bruyne plays a pivotal role on that attacking midfield, because he has the ability to distribute the ball and sometimes make a goal attempt.  Pep hasn't built Manchester city on a single player, so arsenal will still have a tough game on Sunday. The tactical manoeuvre pep guardiola normally uses is to conquer the midfield and force the attack, which normally doesn't work much against arsenal because they too have players saturated at the midfield with solid defensive midfielders as well.

De bruyne not playing I'm the game against Arsenal may actually not really mean much but you can be sure that they may actually be affected and this will happen to be the second time this season that against Arsenal Manchester city played without a key player like de bruyne and it's very obvious going by the result they got in their first meeting that Manchester city needs de bruyne in this game.

Although the team is so much dependent on him alone to determine the outcome of the game but he's really going to influence the results Manchester city will be getting if he's present playing this game and that why I'm of the opinion that he's very much needed in this game and his presence will aswell have an effect on the psychology of both team been aware of his abilities a d what the team could possibly achieve with him been present in the team in that match.but regardless of all these I can be certain that it's going to be a tough one for Manchester city and Arsenal.

Manchester city wouldn't want to be beaten twice by the gunners so it very possible this game may be ending in a draw and both teams having to share their point equally by the end of the game. Manchester city for me still remains my favorite because even the victory Arsenal got over them the first time wasn't a flawless one but some how Arsenal appeared like they were lucky and they may not be this time.

[iBaba]

Well, I don't think we should underestimate Arsenal so easily, which seems to be the prevailing sentiment here. Many believe that Arsenal may struggle against Manchester City in the upcoming 31st match. But, it's essential to recognize that Arsenal has every opportunity to win their match, and much of the responsibility falls on the players and the manager. They need to capitalize on whatever advantages and opportunities they have to secure victory against Manchester City.

The absence of Kevin De Bruyne and others is another advantage for Arsenal. Looking back at their past matches, Arsenal has demonstrated some strength against Manchester City, often managing to score against them, even if only by a narrow margin. Therefore, I anticipate a similar outcome.

As things stand, I would predict Arsenal to emerge victorious in that match unless Manchester City can prove otherwise, which I don't foresee happening, especially given their current midfield vulnerabilities. It's up to Arsenal to identify and exploit these weaknesses effectively.

[EL MOHA]

If Kevin De Bruyne do not play in that game, it will be the second time this season where he misses the game against Arsenal. I do not believe that he will not play though, it is very possible that the coach is manipulating the media to have an advantage.

The two coaches are not strangers, Manchester City are the top choice to win, Arsenal is not underrated.

Kelvin De Bruyne was actually replaced against Liverpool due to tactical reasons as Pep himself confirms this and then he was used in the FA cup tie and wasn’t forced up. Missing the international break was something I see as a precautionary measure from both Belgium and Manchester city, it was to give him more time to heal more and help Manchester City In the closing stage and also go on to stay fit for the Euros in the Summer. So the news coming out now about him missing the Arsenal game is just one of Pep’s mindset or the media just reporting rumors. As at now i am optimistic that he will play the game, same thing with Saka who left the England squad also to stay fit. Both were precautionary measures and will play against each other by the weekend

It will be unsurprising if Arsenal does winn against Manchester city, the city team looks beatable this season and sometime losses their shape and balance. The tie is also a huge one to determine who wins the league between arsenal, liverpool and manchester city.

I think it will end in a 2-2 draw which gives liverpool a needed advantage

[JoyMarsha]

Everyone was expecting Liverpool to beat Manchester United at Anfield when they played their first match in the Premier League this season, but Liverpool failed to win against Manchester United. I think Manchester United knows how to play against Liverpool this season because they have played each other two times this season, and Liverpool has not had any wins in those two meetings.

Liverpool and Manchester United are known to have loggerheads matches when they meet against each other, which makes a football fan begin to reason why the team(either Liverpool or Manchester United) that was performing badly in the Premier League is beginning to perform better because they are meeting the other.

Manchester United's performance this season is in no way a comparison with Liverpool's Performance, but we had Manchester United win them in their FA Cup meeting. However, I believe that Manchester United knows how to play against Liverpool, which has made Manchester United able to win against Liverpool 15 times, with Liverpool winning them 12 times and 9 draws they have had in their head-to-head matches.

Don't forget that at this time Manchester City has recovered from bad results, they can win the last few matches after De Btuyne back to the squad, I'm not sure Manchester City lost at home because in my opinion the worst result is a draw. Indeed Arsenal are in the best performance and have a great chance for the title but Manchester City is more favored, if you check the betting market then you will see that the bookie is more favorite to Manchester City.

In conclusion, we are still waiting for several important matches at the end of the season to determine who will win, the bookie may favor Manchester City but I favor Liverpool especially now that Liverpool has ended its injury crisis and most of the mainstay players have recovered.

Actually, it won't be very surprising, because previously, Arsenal had also beaten Man City and had also beaten Liverpool in the EPL. However, the difference is, when they beat Man City, City's squad was not as complete as it is now, without De Bruyne especially. So maybe for now, there has to be a bigger effort, however, it still looks like Man City will win this time. Or draw might be better. Man City also has to make extra effort if they want to win against Arsenal. Because for this match, Man City will be the host of the match. So, this will give benefits for them to be much stronger. Ahh, honestly, it's still difficult to predict accuracy.

But wait,
I just read this news, this is quite beneficial for Arsenal if it happens. There is a possibility that Man City will compete without some of its key players. or they may not be full-time. Pep has to think hard about this match if his squad composition cannot be as optimal as usual even at this quite risky play match.

[$weetne$$]

The full Man City squad played on the match day against Liverpool and they could not do anything, talk more of now that key player like Walker would be missing in the match. What do you think would happen. Don't also forget that Arsenal won Liverpool that almost win City on that day, because they had more chances of scoring than City.

Comparing Manchester City Vs Liverpool and Manchester city Vs Arsenal isn't right because this two games are very different games. When Manchester city plays with Liverpool, this is a big game that demand big moments for any of the team to win because both teams play very well like their life depends on the match. Manchester city Vs Liverpool is a derby of some form because both teams have a rivalry between them but when Manchester city plays Arsenal, it'll like a big team playing an average team but until recently that Arsenal began to pick form and now playing very well in the premier league. Matches between Manchester city and Arsenal don't have draws and that isn't how a big game statistics should be because if they were two big teams playing they should have some draw games in recent meetings but there isn't.

Liverpool are more experienced than Arsenal in Premier League title competition against Manchester City. In direct matches against Manchester City, Liverpool are more experienced than Arsenal too. Liverpool are the biggest competitor against Manchester City in the last six seasons while Arsenal only gets that challenging in two latest seasons.

Arsenal are not weak and they are actually strong as shown in the last season and this season at both Premier League and Champions League. However to compare to Liverpool about experience, Arsenal actually have less experience. They are holding good but small advantage against Liverpool and Manchester City and they will lose it all if have a defeat at Manchester City's home stadium Etihad in an upcoming match.
