Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Falconer]

-snip-

Arsenal this season is a little different and better than last season so I am sure this match will be difficult for both teams and Arsenal even have a chance to hold on to a draw or win this match.
I see the unstable condition of the Manchester City team because they lost several important players due to injury, this will be very detrimental to them.
And in terms of motivation the two teams are not much different, now Manchester City and Arsenal are both fighting for the title and Arsenal is even currently at the top of the standings.

I agree with you, but don't completely agree when you say Manchester City is unstable. Manchester City's performance this season is no worse than last season, meaning they are still as good as last season even though they lost several important players from the start to the middle of the season. De Bruyne and Ederson are likely to miss the match against Arsenal, but I don't think that's a reason to underestimate Manchester City.

The home game is an advantage for Manchester City against Arsenal, so it makes no sense to have Manchester City underestimated just because Arsenal won the previous home game. Arsenal's probability of winning is not higher than Manchester City's, nor is a draw, so Manchester City is still the favorite at times.

The defensive line problems have actually been going on since the start of the season. As at the beginning of Onana's arrival, there was a lot of controversy, and when Onana got better, the back line got worse. And then Maguire improved and made Man United's defense stronger but the other back line players started making lots of mistakes. All problems continue to revolve around the back line at the club. So in the upcoming player transfer market, I hope this club will bring in better defenders.

And in the match against Liverpool, the Man United squad could not create gaps in the back line. Because if there are lots of gaps in the back line, Liverpool's attacking players will feast on goals in that match. Hopefully the position as host can be utilized by the Man United squad and Ten Hag.

Manchester United had problem with defensive and its not totally mistake from Andre Onan but inconsistency performance from defender and holding midfielder made easily every match conceded many goals and difficult for making clean sheet. Its crucial for Manchester United at the last games week has the same points with other team has many difference goals automatically United will drop their position standings exactly for raising top fourth position place.
Manchester United's goal difference until playing 28 matches is zero, its tragic for the top teams not only how easily conceded many goals every matches but also has problem with attacking line not productivities yet by scoring 39 goals of 28 matches.

Arsenal have been so strong in the last two seasons even though they failed to win the previous season. Arteta's presence has made Arsenal one of the clubs that has reawakened their interest in competing with other teams in the English league in particular.
But facing Manchester City might be a little different, especially since they will be playing at home. Arteta could chase a draw for the match, but the result would not be in their favor because Liverpool would lead the standings.

If Arsenal already became so strong, they must win EPL trophy. In fact, Arsenal always failed to win EPL trophy because they often made a mistake in second half of the season. I admit that Arteta already builds Arsenal very well, this team has improved very much. However, it is still not enough to win the competition. Not sure whether Arteta isn't lucky or it is because of other reasons.

It won't be easy to steal points at Man City home, specifically when all the key players of Man City are available. But I believe Arteta can do it if Arteta chooses the right tactics and make a good lineup. Man City isn't a perfect team which never got a draw or a defeat at home. It is possible to get a point as long as Arsenal can handle De Bruyne and Haaland. I think these 2 players should be the focus of Arsenal defenders.

Yes, Liverpool will get the advantage if the match Man City vs Arsenal ends up with a draw. Liverpool can lead the EPL standings temporarily. But it can happen if Liverpool succeeds to beat Brighton. Liverpool must be careful to play against Brighton, it is not an easy team to beat.

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.

Manchester United and Liverpool have performed poorly in the last season, the competition between these two teams may have been tough last season, but there is a big difference between the performances of Manchester United and Liverpool this season. This season Liverpool is winning one match after another and they are at the top of the points table whereas Manchester United have not been very consistent this season which is why they are at the bottom of the points table. When Manchester United and Liverpool compete this season, we must put Liverpool ahead and in such a match, Liverpool will surely win. In terms of chances we may put Liverpool ahead but as well as putting it we have to think that the team that performs better on the field will win.

That's what we do think in football. But football has made me understand that, is not all the matches that its team performs better than others in the field of play will end up winning. For instance, all the top teams in the PL table have lost to lesser teams they performed better than. Was it in your imagination that Liverpool would lose to Manchester United in the FA Cup despite being in good form than them?
However, my point is that Liverpool and Manchester United always have loggerheads with each other despite performing better than others. We will see what their upcoming match will look like. Whether it's a win or loss match for Liverpool. Either one must happen

It's nothing new to see Manchester United's back line not playing according to expectations, every season they always experience problems at the back, whether it's the goalkeeper who makes a lot of mistakes or the defenders who make a lot of mistakes. They have not been able to solve this problem completely because even if they improve in the match, then in the next match they will show inconsistency regarding the performance of their back line.
It is a coach's job to solve this problem and Erik Ten Hag has not been able to make the performance of his team more trustworthy. They have to improve and carry out a lot of evaluations to improve all this and they can do this by bringing in new players, for example.

Hold on brother, I spit out what I see and the truth. Ok since you say or "think" I'm among those who are bias I'd like to remind you that Arsenal have never beaten City home and away since they became ruthless and aggressive in the EPL.

Yes I agree with you that Arsenal didn’t beat City home and away in some few seasons back, but Arsenal of this season is completely different because they have been braking some records of people they are not winning in the past.


 

I always want any team that's going head to head with the Citizens to always give them a better fight and even win. I get pissed whenever I see Arsenal playing a very confusing football like they don't know how to make an opponent fight  (when it comes to Manchester City) to get the ball, losing possession all the time against City, is time to face the truth and I believe you're a fan of the Gunners but never to forget that these guys need to man up and if they beat Man City home and away in a season then I can say they're good to go.
For the past 3 seasons or even more I'd say the Gunners are afraid to play the Citizens man to man, I don't need to watch a game of luck to win, I need to see something different and deserving from the Gunners.
With how you think or see it City can still win the game even if they have lots of injured players or not performing as they used to, remember that in as much as the support are on Arsenal they like making mistakes after playing a good football, the mistake they make can cause them the game.

I guess you are not watching Arsenal Vs Manchester City matches in the previous seasons.
As at last season, Arsenal played Man City very very well because in terms of ball possession, Manchester City cannot come close to Arsenal last season because Arsenal played Manchester City very well because Man City have less ball possession against Arsenal that they never had in the last few years.
Man City uses experience to win Arsenal last season but Arsenal outplayed them in both legs; therefore, Arsenal can win them if they played the way they used to play and avoid mistakes.

Chelsea has indeed started to show improvements in its squad so that the results achieved in recent months can be said to be quite satisfactory. Now Pochettino just needs to prove his capacity by giving the Blues the FA Cup title. Apart from that, Pochettino must also be able to bring Chelsea to their final target to achieve a ticket to European competition. However, if all that fails then the fans have nothing to be proud of anymore, even though sometimes the situation improves, the fans are still waiting for a better final result.

They have 2 wins and 2 draws in the last 4 weeks but they are still in the middle of the table. Maybe if they maintain this consistency they can get closer to the top again. This week they will play Burnley at home. It's early to say but I'm already writing them 3 points. Burnley had a surprise win last week and surprised everyone but I see Chelsea as the favorite in this match. Chelsea will win this match and increase their points to 42. By the way, I think it is impossible for Chelsea to qualify for the European Cup this season.

Due to the loop holes and laxity from the defense was what made Eric Hag brought Onana to become Manchester united goalkeeper, thinking that De Gea is weak and the cause of many goals last season, but he was not the cause. This is because the problem still lies, and have not been solved, instead it got worst.

Why I said that it got worst, is because Manchester united played very impressive and better last season than this season. This season they are filled with inconsistencies. It is just recently that they have managed to win their matches, which make people feels that they are back in form, due to the way that they played Liverpool and won them. A lot needs to be done in the club for them to be able to play better next season.

Arsenal may win,, in my own notes say Arsenal will be difficult to win as an away game to Man City, even a draw is much better then what is fortunate Liverpool can move up the table if this team wins over Brighton at Anfield.

This match will indeed be fierce considering the lower odds to Man City as the favorite team but I believe the host can win and Arsenal must lose their points.

My prediction may not be right, but maybe it will be slightly right Man City win.

The game will be played this weekend and the two coaches are currently of course in preparation for the match, at this time maybe both teams will play in a limping condition after some of their main players were reportedly injured while playing in international matches, Manchester City was still superior to Arsenal, even when Arsenal beat Manchester City in the previous two games , Arsenal must Worked very hard with their squad which was quite complete for beat manchester city,  But I think the match later will be very different , because after all, the Players injury will reduce the performance of both teams in the game.

One point is indeed more realistic to get by Arsenal in that match, because I think Manchester City is still very strong for Arsenal especially so far Arsenal do not have a good record when playing at the Etihad Stadium.

I think instead of Liverpool expecting benefits from the Manchester City vs Arsenal game, wouldn't it be better for Liverpool to focus on their own game against Brighton, because from all this time I see if the game against Brighton will not be easy for Liverpool, so far Liverpool does not have a good record when facing Brighton and I think the match against Brighton will also put Liverpool at risk of dropping points at Anfield.

By the way, I think it is impossible for Chelsea to qualify for the European Cup this season.

Expecting Chelsea to be able to finish in fifth position to get a Europa League ticket, I believe it is just a fantasy that will not happen whatever the scenario is. After all, competing to be able to stay in the top ten is also difficult for Chelsea because of the very unstableperformance and results throughout this season. Indeed, currently Chelsea is in 11th place and has only 1 point gap with team in 10th place but in fact, a close pointgap like this also Chelsea still fails to maintain its position in the top ten. Therefore, there is absolutely no chance for Chelsea to be able to finish in the top five eventhough only want to get a Europa League ticket.

Also, although in the FA Cup Chelsea managed to qualify for the semifinals but still, in fact Chelsea will face Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinals and thus, it is again and again difficult for Chelsea to qualify for the FA Cup final match. Because anyway, if for example Manchester City failed to get the Premier League trophy or lost the chance to get the Premier League trophy and also failed to advance further in the Champion League . Then of course, Manchester City will be able to maximize their chances in the FA Cup, at least to get a trophy this season rather than nothing.

Chelsea have been dormant in the past seasons and they will continue to suffer this season. You're talking about improvement of the club? Where has it been lately? Mauricio Pochettino have been on the trends with his incompetence to couple the team's together, really playing around and not trigger the main sectors of the Blues. Todd Boehly and the supporters trusted him to deliver an excellent job but he's not showing signs to be eager for the job at hand. Probably, Mauricio Pochettino might be dismissed if he doesn't take time to set things right.

Arsenal problem is lack of composure when playing with big clubs such as Man city. Arsenal is doing well quite alright but due to their inability to maintain calmness in big matches, I would favor Manchester city ahead of them.

I know I am new to watching football, and maybe the Arsenal you describe is the Arsenal that existed before now, but what I have seen this season in Arsenal is that they are not afraid to go against the big teams, they see themselves as one of the big teams in the competition too, and that has helped them. They have a good record against other big teams this season and that record can continue because I still notice that they are still very underrated, and not still taken seriously.  

I think Arsenal's biggest problem this season is in the striker area. Arteta is a very good manager. I think his attacking strategies are good enough, but I think Arsenal's strikers are a bit inadequate. I don't think Arsenal can solve this problem this season, but they can solve this problem next season if they make some good signings because they need a player who can play directly as a striker. Osimhen didn't perform as well this season as he did last season but he could be a good candidate for Arsenal.

[Stable090]

I believe if Arsenal get past Manchester City they're not seeing the other games as something difficult to get through and I feel they can defeat the likes of Aston Villa, Chelsea even Tottenham, not talking about UTD but it all depends on if they stay on top because if they continue to be league leaders their fighting spirit will be high to take on the next opponent, it all lies on if they could get a win at the Etihad Stadium.

If Arsenal can win Manchester City, they they are going to have higher chances of winning the premier league this season, they will want to win any club that comes their way after playing against Manchester City and they win, but sometimes Arsenal are always performing poorly mostly when playing against weaker teams, and nobody knows how the outcome of their match against Manchester City will be, but am not expecting a win from Arsenal in the match. If Arsenal can lose to Manchester City, then it’s really going affect them, because their chances to win the premier league will drop, and I won’t be surprise even when weaker teams win them. 

[Rengga Jati]

If Arsenal already became so strong, they must win EPL trophy. In fact, Arsenal always failed to win EPL trophy because they often made a mistake in second half of the season. I admit that Arteta already builds Arsenal very well, this team has improved very much. However, it is still not enough to win the competition. Not sure whether Arteta isn't lucky or it is because of other reasons.

That's it.
Perhaps recently, Arsenal's performance has been quite good and consistent. However, it cannot be denied that Arsenal have also been quite careless at times, so that they sometimes lose at times and against very unexpected opponents. But usually, when playing against top clubs, Arsenal seems more motivated and can optimally carry out the match as well as possible. They have beaten top clubs several times in this EPL. So, indeed when facing Man City later. they also have chances. However, the match will take place at the Etihad, so this may not be very favorable for Arsenal.

Or it could be that Manchester City will slaughter Arsenal with a landslide score, and that is also very possible. If Arsenal wins again over Manchester City, then their chances of winning the Premier League trophy will be quite high, because this match will determine their next steps. Liverpool could gain an advantage if Arsenal lose points, and it is also possible that Brighton will force Jurgen Klopp squad to share the points. It could be that all predictions will be wrong, but what is clear is that changes in positions in the top four standings will definitely occur next week.

Honestly, in the minds of Liverpool and their fans, they definitely hope that Man City will win against Arsenal later. Because this will really provide an advantage for Liverpool to take over the top position in the EPL standings. That said, of course Liverpool also won. Don't just lose Liverpool, this will be very annoying. Because after all, Liverpool must not be careless, Brighton is not a club that is easy to beat even though their performance is not as good as before. But what is certain is that Liverpool's chance of winning is much higher. So there will be a possibility of changing positions if Arsenal is unable to get full points.

Of course it's possible, but I still believe Manchester City can win their home games and maintain their home record against Arsenal. The match could end in a draw for both teams, but the odds are not good to hope for. Many people believe Manchester City are the favorites at home because of their record and performance, but we will see for sure after 90 minutes.

Liverpool might take advantage if Manchester City and Arsenal draw, but I'm sure one of the two will win the game and I'm picking Manchester City to do it. Manchester City have home advantage and the record, but that doesn't mean Arsenal won't surprise.

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

And despite the inconsistency, he will be taking Manchester United to the another finals in two years, and in his second season, isn't that something great?
Erik Ten Hag is not the problem for Manchester United and they have to fix all of these speculating news about Erik Ten Hag leaving next season or been sacked completely.

They will do better if they have a well structured squad ready for the next Premier League Competition next season. Jim Radcliffe would allow the sporting directors take them decision and I'm sure they'll be back the dutch manager for success ahead.
They have all it takes to qualify for the Champions League Competition next season even if they finish fifth position on the Premier League standing.

[Coyster]

Liverpool might take advantage if Manchester City and Arsenal draw, but I'm sure one of the two will win the game and I'm picking Manchester City to do it. Manchester City have home advantage and the record, but that doesn't mean Arsenal won't surprise.

Games immediately after the international break are usually very tricky, managers have to assess their players to know who is fit or not and also to know the players who are fresh in their minds and ready to go again. City had a couple of injury scares during the international break, though only two of those players (Walker and Stones) missed training today.

These injuries could have an impact on the game, Saka also pulled out of the England squad, i think footballers are made to play too many games, and it is taking a toll on them. City hardly lose at the Etihad, and that home advantage could be the reason they get over the line, but what is likely to happen in this game is a draw.

How can you say the coach has nothing to do with the current situation of the club? We all know that when a good coach enters a club, everything changes for good.Arsenal team was in shambles before Arteta came,but he has changed alot of things about Arsenal,their playing style, aggressiveness,their defensive nature and the mentality of the boys.So when a good coach manages a team,there is every tendency that the team will do well.If Ten Hag was very good,Man u would have one of the best teams in EPL now.

A win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium will help Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title. Their confidence will undoubtedly grow, and no team they face until the end of the season will pose a threat to them. Tottenham, for example, may pose a challenge, but aside from that, every other team should be a bonus for them to earn all three points in order to maintain a comfortable lead in the table.

Or it could be that Manchester City will slaughter Arsenal with a landslide score, and that is also very possible. If Arsenal wins again over Manchester City, then their chances of winning the Premier League trophy will be quite high, because this match will determine their next steps. Liverpool could gain an advantage if Arsenal lose points, and it is also possible that Brighton will force Jurgen Klopp squad to share the points. It could be that all predictions will be wrong, but what is clear is that changes in positions in the top four standings will definitely occur next week.

The changes we expect to occur will undoubtedly add a new dimension to the fight for the Premier League title. All teams will want a new approach and strategy to regain or maintain their position through the end of the season. Matches like this at the end of the season are what make football enjoyable and worth following. Coming from the best league in Europe makes it even more appealing to watch and follow this season.

Finally the national break is over and we can watch league games again. There is a very big game on Sunday, but before that let's look at Saturday's games.
The top 3 teams have opened the points difference. 4th place race between Aston Villa and Tottenham is pretty exciting. Both teams play at home this week. Aston Villa's opponent is Wolverhampton. I think Aston Villa will win without much difficulty, while Tottenham will play Luton Town. Luton Town are going through a very bad period and relegation is a big possibility for them. I think Tottenham will have a comfortable win and there will be no change in the standings for these two teams this week.
