Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Queentoshi]

Just opened the football channel and wanted to see the Crystal Palace vs Manchester City match but the score was already 1-0 after 3 minutes.

It did not take long for Crystal Palace to score, they took their chance as soon as they had it. Manchester City has scored back, a spectacle of a goal from Kevin De Bruyne. Manchester City are not an easy team to win even when you are a goal ahead, there need not be any chance for mistakes or lack of concentration. Crystal Palace have to try to score another goal or maintaint this scoreline until the second half. Mateta who was a problem for Manchester City when they played in the first leg has had a very good start to this second leg too, he scored the first goal and has been a challenge for the Manchester City defenders to keep quiet.

I like that you used the word "if" which is a really strong word in this context because like you pointed out earlier, City are hungry for goals and would be looking to do to another club that which they did to Aston Villa and you'd agree with me that in terms of strength, Unai Emery's Aston are tougher than Crystal but they still got that thrashing and you think Crystal Palace will survive it? Home or away, it makes no difference. The only thing that might occur is that we might see Palace making it difficult for City to score but that won't mean they won't. Haaland hasn't scored in three games now if I'm not mistaken and will be itching to do so, and coupled with the fact that they drew their last match, Pep will be looking to take his pound of flesh, don't you think?

The only strange thing is that City could not do the same with Liverpool and Arsenal, and could not score a single goal. In the match with Arsenal, it was clear how an organized defense can ruin Guardiola’s plans, but I think they are no strangers to such games, most teams are simply trying to defend against City, by the way, even though Arteta’s strategy worked, I didn’t like Arsenal’s game at all.

The game with Crystal Peles has already started, and Crystal Peles opens the scoring in the first minutes, this is unexpected and now City will have to win back, let's see how quickly they can do it. Now, by the way, Krista Peles may well play from defense on counterattacks.

Manchester city have equalized with an astonishing goal from De Bruyne making it 1-1. Though crystal palace are still trying to show some level of home advantage against the citizens. Crystal palace goal keeper just saved a one on one with Haaland, I almost thought he had scored, that save was outstanding, however Manchester city are still playing there dominating style of play, pushing crystal palace backwards and taking over the midfield with crystal palace managing to see if they can end the first half like this.

This part of the season is just that period when we see the bigger boys struggle to beat the smaller clubs and this is their (smaller clubs) period of being stronger than they were in the first half of the season.
Crystal Palace will be hosting Man City in today's early kick off, I believe that in as much as Palace are not in a good form I think they can get something out of this encounter but mind you that the Citizens are having this hunger for goals and getting their spot at the top of the table because they know they're running out of time with Liverpool sitting at the top followed by Arsenal at 2nd position.
In this game I feel it might end in a draw or City have to lose this game to the host, Palace might be deadly just to cover up for their last game that they lost shamefully, I'd say is a 2-1 win for Palace if they're lucky enough.

Though the match has started already and what is playing out at the moment was expected by me but it wouldn't end that way, crystal palace has scored a goal against city in the 3rd minutes of the match but Manchester City that I know is not going to allow the result to be like this until the the final whistle of this match.
No doubt this season has not been easy of for most big side, they have been facing difficulties in winning most smaller teams but at this stage of the league, Manchester City is not ready to give up considering what is at stake, city really needs to win this encounter because the outcome of arsenal and Liverpool next match can't be ascertained so any lower team should be seen as threat and should not be taken for granted.
What Manchester city needs to do at this point is setup a good defense force with massive attack though I believe that Manchester City will not give a chance for any form of lapses.

Cole Palmer remains Chelsea's most prominent signing this season, the boy always has something special to bring to the table in every game. He's always getting better everyday. He really deserves the match ball from yesterday. He was absolutely exceptional and plays with so much confidence.

Now Palmer record can almost catch up with Haaland in the top score, the difference is quite narrow with Palmer and several other players occupying the same position. Dominic, Mo Salah and Ollie Watkins have all collected 16 goals and Haaland is in first place with 18 goals. Cole Palmer was an important Chelsea asset who was thrown away by Man City because according to Pep Guardiola, Palmer was thin or not ideal. But apart from that, his level of maturity and ingenuity in exploiting gaps should be appreciated and in the future he can continue to be Chelsea's mainstay player.

Kelvin De bruyne has already equalize for Manchester city and the score line is 1-1 already. It's very unreal how crystal palace has been able to get a goal already this early minute of the game. Manchester city defense needs to be so much better than this. City is just attacking without defending.  It's worth noting that crystal palace are also playing a good football with confidence. The game is approaching the end of first half with a draw but from the look of things, there are still more goals to be scored in this match. Placing a live bet for away team to score ov2.5 goals at 2.15 odds won't be a bad decision.

It is a strange season in Premier League and the list of best scorers has many attacking midfielder here.
https://www.premierleague.com/stats

In the top 10, there are three attacking players, Palmer, Foden and Saka. It is good for these attacking players and they are hope of England in Euro 2024 too, though it raises another concern in Premier League that strikers there tend to have problems to show their scoring skill and outperform attacking players. Mo Salah starts to be older and some injuries in this season affect his appearances and goals for Liverpool. Haaland has a much worse performances than the past season. Isak can not perform better from a club in troubles like Newcastle United.

Palmer actually feels happy now by making a big decision to leave Manchester City and find challenge in Chelsea, then succeeded with it, so far.

Like every other game we've seen Man City come from behind to draw in the first half, I'm more of the mind that the opponents won't be so lucky to maintain that scoreline and with the way Crystal Palace are playing, it's not going to be easy for them to hold Man City from winning the game. As it stands now, they are level on points with Arsenal if the scoreline ends like this but we all know how Pep rarely settles for less, at least a two points gap will be needed by them.
 Maybe Crystal will recharge and get back stronger in the second half is a big maybe because when you play with a desperate, hungry club like Man City, you'd need to have all your wits about you to avoid mistakes and I like that they aren't leaving their defenses open too much cause that can be terrible for them as right now the visitors are trying to create spaces, making small passes to pry the defense of Palace.
For me, it's the second half that would determine if Crystal Palace did a good job at keeping Pep and his boys at bay or not.

It is hard to believe if this game is going to end up in draws because Manchester City is always this extraordinary team that scoring of goals is not a problem for them.

It will be so bad for Manchester City if this game ends in draw because it can affect them from getting the title of the league. Manchester City still have the second half to hustle for another goal, they still have a chance of increasing their goals but if luck is not on their side to win the game against crystal Palace it will be of good advantage to arsenal and Liverpool that are also at the top of the league.

Nice way to come back for Kevin Debryune, after not being available last match. Am happy with whatever results unfold after the Manchester city match because all I want to see is Arsenal beating Brighton later on.
At this point any slip from Liverpool in tomorrow's match against Manchester United will definitely hurt their chances of being league champions because I don't think Manchester city nor Arsenal who are on same point standing would let that opportunity go by.

[Blitzboy]

Chelsea scoring a goal against Manchester United in the 90+10 minute is okay, but Manchester United conceding another goal from Chelsea in the 90+11 minute is something that Manchester United's defense needs to be questioned about. Manchester United lost to Chelsea because of defensive errors, not the tactics used by Erik Ten Hag.

I think this is a problem that Man United must address immediately. In the previous match when Man United played against Brentford, they also make the same mistakes. Victory was in sight, but they were careless and gave Brentford the opportunity to equalize. And this happened again when they played against Chelsea. I think Man United really have problems with their composure. I think Ten Hag also made a mistake, playing Rashford and McTominay was very ineffective, it even made Man United lose their rhythm.

You hit the nail on the head with Man United's composure - its been a serious issue. I've seen this team snatch defeat from the jaws of victory one too many times. Brentford, Chelsea... its a pattern. Ten Hag, fantastic manager, but he needs to rethink those late-game strategies. Rashford, McTominay - not the answer when the team needs focus. Its frustrating to watch. Its not just about individual players, its about the mindset.

Those substitutions are baffling. Feels more like rolling the dice than a real plan. Theres no flow, no sense of a well-oiled machine. They look lost, unsure how to close out a game. Its not just the points lost, this hurts morale. United needs to work on that mental toughness, and they need tactical solutions. These defensive mistakes, this buckling under pressure, its not good enough. Something's gotta change, or this trend isnt going anywhere

Kevin De Bryune, who successfully scored a goal in the 13th minute in today's match, will continue to be a player that Manchester City really relies on. Because currently Manchester City is also one goal ahead of hosts Crystal Palace through their player Lewis and now Manchester City is starting to control the match even though the home team made a surprise with a quick goal through Mateta in the third minute. And from the results that have been seen, it shouldn't be difficult for Manchester City to win and secure the three points.

[Obari]

I will be very interested in the Arsenal vs Briton today because that encounter is really going to be a tough one for the gunners, especially considering the fact that Arsenal will be playing away at Briton.The game is going to be very tough,because we all know how Arsenal want the trophy badly,and Briton on the other hand will want to lock them up either with a draw.
If Arsenal wins,and Mancity wins theirs,then Liverpool draws with Manchester United, Arsenal will be topping the table with goals,but if Liverpool wins United,then I'm seeing them lift the trophy already.

I don't know whether it's because Ten Hag doesn't have another strategy or the injury faced by Man United is really a big obstacle, but Man United's performance does not appear to be improving. I agree with you. Apart from fitness problems, the morale of the Man United players is not in good condition, and that will clearly affect their performance on the field. This season has clearly been a dark one for Man United. They spend so much money, but it still cannot be a solution to their poor performance. If anyone has to be responsible, I think it should be Ten Hag.

In addition to the game with United, Liverpool will have difficult games with Fulham, Everton, Tottenham and Aston Villa. Are you really so sure of a positive result in these games? It seems to me that Liverpool will 100% lose points in one of these games. It would be good if not and I would know it 100%, since in this case it would be possible to make several x on the multi-bet.

Crystal Palace at the beginning of the game made an impression of a home team to remind City that they are just visitors but been a higher team compared to Palace City had to change the tone of the game made a comeback and are now leading with a 1-3 in the score sheet. City are poised to keeping up in the race for the title and palace doesn't have that tenacity to hold them from getting the points they need. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool at this stage of the competition can't afford to lose or share a point in any game as that can in a very had way hinder their chances for the title.

[Kavelj22]

I would say it was an unexpected result. Even Chelsea fans didn't expect to see such a result. After 90 minutes of the match, Chelsea team was trailing 3-2. And it was unthinkable that Chelsea would score 2 goals in extra time to win the match.

But the Chelsea team was very lucky. Chelsea youngster Cole Palmer took full advantage of the carelessness of Manchester United's defenders. Cole Palmer equalized the match with a goal from the penalty spot in the 90+10 minutes, and another goal in the 90+11 minutes gave Chelsea the victory. Cole Palmer's overall performance in this match was excellent.

I also still think that both teams have a bad defense, as Manchester also had a feast of opening holes that enabled Chelsea to score in normal time, despite their success in scoring as well. I always think that if the two teams manage to score many goals in any match, this does not mean their offensive superiority as much as they are primarily defensive gaps. Another proof of this is that Chelsea is not one of the teams that are accustomed to reducing the goal difference in the final minutes of the match, and I consider that Cole Palmer succeeded in exploiting those defensive gaps in the opposing team to be the star of the match par excellence.

This will be a lesson for Manchester to later get used to playing with complete efficiency until the last second of the match. The result was a surprise to everyone, and this can be confirmed even from previous comments, most of which did not expect Chelsea to win.

Both teams exploited gaps in their opponents' back line well and that is why many goals were scored throughout the match. Ten Hag was basically sure to end the match with a win, so that's why he changed his game strategy by rotating several players before Chelsea recovered.

I think it's a very difficult match for both of them, but from the start I've said that Chelsea have a bigger chance of winning their home game. In the end, my prediction was correct even though the match would have almost ended in a draw if Chelsea had not had the last chance for a corner kick. Pochettino is happy with the result of the match, as are all the players. That was a great match to watch.

It is common knowledge that teams in the last minutes of the match (after the end of normal time) their play becomes more relaxed and their performance is not as complete as it was throughout the match, and I mean here especially if the team is victorious during normal time, and this allows for errors to occur that may be Some of them are disastrous, as happened with Manchester and Chelsea. Personally, I enjoyed the match because it was the first match I watched in the English Premier League after a break of more than two seasons.

Also, I don't think it was a difficult match for both teams. On the contrary, Chelsea played with more difficulty, and had it not been for Manchester's complacency in the last minutes, they would not have succeeded in achieving anything.

[Zlantann]

Chelsea scoring a goal against Manchester United in the 90+10 minute is okay, but Manchester United conceding another goal from Chelsea in the 90+11 minute is something that Manchester United's defense needs to be questioned about. Manchester United lost to Chelsea because of defensive errors, not the tactics used by Erik Ten Hag.

Both teams defended poorly in the game. Chelsea defenders caused the first goal due to poor communication and the second goal was also a defensive error because Bruno Fernandes was left unmarked even when we had four Chelsea defenders in the box. But it was Manchester United defenders that caused more harm, giving out two penalties and also giving Cole Palmer so much space to shoot. This win gave Chelsea the lifeline to keep fighting for a European spot. The management of United has decided to keep faith with Erik Ten Hag, so we will not see any managerial change at the end of the season regardless of the position the club ends the league.

[Lannakosa]

It is hard to believe if this game is going to end up in draws because Manchester City is always this extraordinary team that scoring of goals is not a problem for them.

It will be so bad for Manchester City if this game ends in draw because it can affect them from getting the title of the league. Manchester City still have the second half to hustle for another goal, they still have a chance of increasing their goals but if luck is not on their side to win the game against crystal Palace it will be of good advantage to arsenal and Liverpool that are also at the top of the league.

De Bruyne quickly equalized, but the first there was a little difficult for City, although they had the advantage, and in the second half everything changed very much, Crystal Peles can't do anything at all, zero shots on the City goal, 19% ball possession, complete dominance City and three more goals, it looks like Haaland and De Bruyne have found their game again. It is a pity that City could not play as well in attack in their previous matches, now Guardiola should hope, that Arsenal will lose points with Brighton, and of course that Manchester United will be able to perform a miracle, and take points from Liverpool.

As we predict Manchester City will equalize the score then win the match, we know that Manchester City is in the race so there is no reason to lose they will play as much as possible. Currently the score is 2-4 and the match will end in 5 minutes means that Manchester City will get 3 points and for the time being Manchester City took over the 2nd place then Arsenal will take back if they defeat Brighton today. The teams in Top 3 will compete with each other and win every match we will wait for which team is trapped and get bad luck and moments like this will occur at the end of the season because there are some important matches.

If Arsenal wins,and Mancity wins theirs,then Liverpool draws with Manchester United, Arsenal will be topping the table with goals,but if Liverpool wins United,then I'm seeing them lift the trophy already.

I don't see arsenal finding it difficult to win that game, Brighton are a tough opponent to play against, then playing away to them at the American Express stadium makes it tougher, but Arsenal has all it takes to get a win in this game, especially now that Manchester city have won their match,  much pressure will be on Arsenal and Liverpool who play Manchester United tomorrow,

Looking at the table Arsenal sit in third behind Liverpool and Manchester city who are both on 70 points, with arsenal on 68points I think at this point in the league dropping points among these three teams will narrow the possibility of their title hopes, So considering their next fixtures, I will say Arsenal has the tougher opponents to play than Liverpool and Manchester city, so dropping points against Brighton will have a major effect on their title hopes,

For Brighton they sit at 9th position two points behind westham who occupy the final European spot for UEFA conference league next season, I think they will have an eye on that spot and will try all they can to win this game, but I don't see Arsenal dropping points in this game.
