Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Frankolala]

Pep Guardiola's contract will expire at the end of next season 2024/25 will Pep stay at Manchester City again? he has served as manager of The Citizen for 8 years and if his contract ends it will be 9 years the same as Jurgen Kloop when he coached Liverpool but this coach has left at the end of this season.
The England national team is interested in appointing him as coach to replace Gareth Southgate but there is no certainty about this but it could be that Pep Guardiola is considering it and wants a new challenge to be able to achieve targets that he has never felt as a coach.

A few days ago Pep Guardiola stated that he was closer to leaving than staying is this a code that Pep Guardiola will not extend his contract and will leave Man City next season?

I actually understands what he is trying to do here, he is just biding his time, by keeping people in the dark regarding his future, so that if he feels like staying, no wan will questions it , and if he also feel the need to change, it wouldn't be like a surprise to anyone, but in my own perspective, I really do think he might seek a new challenge elsewhere, if what he is expected from the hierarchy of Manchester isn't met.

Secondly, another thing I observe about this Manchester city side is that, the team is getting old and it needs rebuilding after next season probably, so I believe that pep guardiola is trying to know how committed the hierarchy of Manchester city will support him in the rebuilding process before he decides to commit to the club, but since that time hasn't come yet, he just wants to keep everyone on suspense while he makes his observations, and I think it's a logical thing to do as a manager that knows what he actually want,  that's my opinion though.

Manchester City knows without Guardiola is not strong anymore. Manchester City lost many players but still had good performances in the last season and this team thanks to Guardiola could win the Premier League while other teams like Arsenal had good performances so far in the games we saw from them,
However, recently Guardiola showed the green light and said he is going to stay in Manchester City for a longer time.
 

This is good news for all City fans and the club because it shows that City will always keep to their consistency from time to time. Pep was the one that revived City and made it as strong as it is, which means that only him is the perfect coach for the club.

Rumors had it that Pep will be leaving, maybe he was looking up for a new contract by City management and I believe that has come true which will make him not leave anymore, because if he leaves where will he go to when he has built a solid club that is among the best in the world.

Pep Guardiola has a fairly important role in giving success to Man City and he is the best coach Man City has ever had. We can see this since his era as Man City coach and Man City's dominance is so difficult to break by any coach in England because of his ability to manage the team which is quite good. Rumors of his departure are also unclear because he still has a contract left with Man City and maybe he will consider accepting a new contract.

Some time ago the England National Team management had an interest in Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp but that was just a rumor. I think he will finish his contract at Man City and regarding his future it is still very difficult to predict because many teams want his services to become a coach.

Leicester City played a funny match for me, they played with a full squad but were unable to even get a draw. Before the match was held, Leicester got around @1.5 odds while Palermo got around @4.5 odds in 1X2 betting, imagine you choose Leicester City and find the result like that . But what caught my attention was Insigne, after I never saw him again in Serie A it turns out he is currently playing at Palermo, nice try for Leicester, maybe they weren't that serious about this match and just treated it as a practice match.

Most of the pre-season matches are actually being used by some clubs, especially the big one to try the following;

• New team formation 
• New player positions and roles
• New players in the team

Etc.
So, when such strategies are being tested by a team, their problem will no longer be if they win or lose, but how effective is what they are testing. This is why I don't like betting on these pre-season matches.

You're right, pre-season matches are used by clubs as a place for trials and due diligence, so that the manager knows how effective his strategy or team composition is. But seeing how Leicester lost to Palermo is another story, Leicester had everything to win this match, instead of at least getting a draw, they lost the match, this is what I call funny match. Next match is against Augsburg, Augsburg is a pretty strong team in the Bundesliga, if they lose this match I think it still makes sense.

Guardiola has reached the end of his contract at Manchester City and there are no signs that the two parties will continue their collaboration in the future, I personally hope that Pep Guardiola will not take the position of coaching the national team at this time because after all there are still two leagues (Ligue 1 and Serie A) which he hasn't conquered yet, Guardiola has managed to give many achievements and trophies to three teams from the three big leagues in Europe, so I think if he succeeds in winning the other two leagues then he can be said to be the most successful coach and create new history as a coach who won the championship in 5 European leagues later, a few hours ago Guardiola gave a little clue about his future at Manchester City but so far we don't know whether this is a sign that he will stay or leave after next season is over.

Yeah it's no secret that Guardiola is behind Manchester City's success, he can build a solid squad and can find the right players to place in each line. We can compare Chelsea and Manchester City when Chelsea have great players in the squad but are unable to control them while Pep Guardiola can do it well. I think Pep Guardiola wants to make new history for Manchester City before he leaves or retires at least equal Ferguson's record. By the way, Pep Guardiola's contract with Manchester City will end next season, did you hear that he is moving to another club? If he really does move next season then PSG is the right team for him.

Pep Guardiola has always been the reason for the victory of Manchester city and if he will be leaving Manchester City thus season it will be very important for him to make sure that Manchester City wins the title of the league to have more standard record.

 The way arsenal is getting better in performance every season I think Manchester City winning the premier league is unpredictable,  I feel it can be a little bit tough for Manchester City next season because it will be another chance for arsenal to put in their best once again to win the title of the league, but if Manchester City still wins the league again it will be a very interesting record for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.  Manchester City have chances of winning because of the great coach they have.

Given Chelsea efforts to build squad depth, it seems that Enzo Maresca will have a hard time leading his team to compete in the top four of the standings, it will take a few more seasons for the young group of players to become more mature and experienced. Chelsea management seems to still be investing in a number of young players with long term contracts, their average age is around 22.9 and could continue to decrease if Lukaku leaves. With the squad they currently have, it is difficult to say that they will be able to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, in fact I think they will have a hard time securing a ticket to the Champions League. Enzo Maresca wants his team to have an identity, such as dominating possession, without a good defense Chelsea will concede more goals if they want to carry out this plan throughout the season.

They've got good players no doubt who are hungry for results but with the way he signs too quickly, some of them need time to adapt. I remember that Moise Caicedo found it difficult adapting to Chelsea's style of play and would often make mistakes so I feel that's the same thing that will happen to most of these ones that were brought in newly.
Enzo Maresca has pointed out that the team aren't good at building from the back and my question is why not teach them another pattern because truthfully, it's not every team in the EPL that can pull that off better than Man City so it's a matter of finding what best suits the team and work with it.
 I believe the Coach will be able to bring results to the club if he won't be desperate to please the owner and fans alike or if Todd Boehly will not be breathing down his neck.

Lol, there are no rumors about PSG because after all, the rumors that happened before were about offers from the England national team. But anyway, from Pep Guardiola's statement and also basically you also quoted the post, that Pep Guardiola prefers to stay longer at Manchester City. Thus,Manchester City really succeeded in making Pep Guardiola stay longer in the team, unlike in Barcelona and Bayern Munich which were fairly quick for Pep Guardiola to leave.

But at least, I'm quite curious how Pep Guardiola can be so comfortable to be at Manchester City for a long time. Whether it is possible, because the full support factor given by Manchester City to Pep Guardiola until made him really willing to extend his contract at Manchester City. Of course, if Pep Guardiola will still be longer at Manchester City, it will really be very good for the success of the team from season to season.

Both Pep and Kloop has done very well in the Premier League, their competition for the title was one of the reasons why the Premier League is still the toughest League in the world, but before Kloop left, Arteta joined the race to another top competator for Pep Guardiola which has kept their mandate of the Premier League till date.

I don't think Guardiola will be interested with any national team job, because he said that he cannot be able to sign players he want which means he will be only limited to the players in that country.

Pep Guardiola is just waiting for the outcome of the charges laid against Manchester City, if they didn't succeed I am very sure he will leave the team which can be a good reason why he is yet to renew his current contract. Nevertheless, I will want him to stay to keep given the EPL the competition it needs because if he leaves now, it can be less competitive unless if other managers do well to keep the competition.

As long as Manchester City can continue to dominate the League through Pep Guardiola's coaching, of course the Manchester City team management will not immediately release Pep Guardiola after his contract expires because a new contract extension will be more likely to happen to Pep Guardiola if Manchester City can still produce its best achievements in its new season. And I still think that Manchester City can still be a candidate for champions next season even though there are many teams that have tried to block them since the beginning of the season.

Sometimes I don't know if Chelsea do have those who scout players or they just sit down and watch some old clips of players around the world then decide on which one to go for because Chelsea as of before it is the players who have the hunger to play for Chelsea not the other way round, see these players they have got even the new ones which I believe sooner than later they'll send them on loan to create space for the squad, these players don't have it in mind to play for Chelsea and they agree base on the money and nothing more, the club has lost it completely and not giving the coach his privilege to do his job is another sign of failure because is the manager Enzo Maresca that will make use of these players but he wakes up in morning and hears that the club have signed a 16-18 year old, that I know can happen under the manager's nose, it doesn't work that way for a club that wants to improve.
Building from the back has become a must to every team and it pisses me off when I see a team that can't hold the ball or give 20 uninterrupted passes are trying to do it. Chelsea has never been the kind of team for that for some time now and the manager said the truth so they have to either waste the ball than trying building from the back and concede goals.
Todd Boehly is the desperate one between Enzo Maresca and himself, the owner just want Chelsea to be better than when the former owner was in charge but he never knew that it took Roman Abramovich years to achieve all he got from Chelsea but it seems this man Todd is not ready to learn from his mistakes, let's see how it works out for him.

Pep Guadiola's performance is why they won't want him to leave the club, and now that he has renewed his contract for the long term, I am sure they have enough Tropu Guadiola will win for Manchester City. Any club would like to get the ma as a coach because he has the experience and is very talented in coaching. Many clubs are scared when facing Manchester City in a match because they have young and talented key players in the team that will be making the fans happy any match they play.

am thinking next season again he will be very hard if Guadiola did not win the Premier league because arsenal will just perform well in the beginning of the season and later they will perform weak. But I see Chelsea is signing players, and I am confident they will perform well and try to win the Premier League because it has been a long time since Chelsea has won a major trophy. Let us see how next season goes and who will get the opportunity to win the title, but Manchester are the favorites next season. Expect the other clubs in the competition to improve and challenge Manchester City in the leagues.

Not the owners, not those rich European clubs sniffing about, Guardiola's not going to allow anyone push him about. He has all of them dancing to his song. Also, you know what? Great for him. He's earned it. He is a great winner and the finest in the business.

Now, about this contract stuff. If Guardiola sees no winning team in front of him, he will not stay around. Thats the bottom line. He wants to rebuild, and he depends on the owners to support him absolutely. Should they not, he is outta-there.

To be honest, I am not his most avid supporter. Still, you really have to appreciate the man. He is simply a legend, straightforward. He's changed the game. So whether he stays or leaves, we have to salute Pep. He's one of a kind.

Manchester City has successfully won the treble winner. I can say Pep has successfully made City one of the strongest teams in Europe. There are rumors that Pep is trying to find a new challenge in another club. But I think it's just a rumor. Pep has won everything with the citizens. But does it make sense if Pep wants to leave because he feels bored? If Pep is an ambitious coach I think Pep can still try to get other records with City. Building another squad from scratch will take a lot of time to adapt and also requires a lot of money to get the desired players.

But seeing how Leicester lost to Palermo is another story, Leicester had everything to win this match, instead of at least getting a draw, they lost the match, this is what I call funny match. Next match is against Augsburg, Augsburg is a pretty strong team in the Bundesliga, if they lose this match I think it still makes sense.

I think we all agree that preseason is a game that is used to see how strong they are and also how deep their squad is. If someone overreacts to the results of preseason games, I will question it, because they don't play seriously and they are just experimenting with what they will apply in the new season. Many teams fail in preseason games, but they can play very well in competitions. There are also teams that are very good in preseason games, but they fail in real competitions. Actually, this can answer that preseason games cannot be a benchmark for a team's performance.

Manchester City has successfully won the treble winner. I can say Pep has successfully made City one of the strongest teams in Europe. There are rumors that Pep is trying to find a new challenge in another club. But I think it's just a rumor. Pep has won everything with the citizens. But does it make sense if Pep wants to leave because he feels bored? If Pep is an ambitious coach I think Pep can still try to get other records with City. Building another squad from scratch will take a lot of time to adapt and also requires a lot of money to get the desired players.

If we look at Pep Guardiola's past habits, we will see the fact that he will leave after being successful with the team he is handling. At Bayern Munich he did that and when he was with Barcelona he did it again, so I will not be surprised if next season he will leave Manchester City. His contract will also expire in 2025 and until now there is no sign that he will extend his contract with Manchester City. As a coach I see that he is not satisfied with what he gets, in other words he likes to look for new challenges. Although he is famous for the big teams he handles, it is still not easy to get great success. I wonder, if he leaves next year, which team will be his next destination? Will he stay in England or look for a new destination?

Sometimes when everything has been achieved with Manchester City he can just leave it it is the right decision for him, he could be taking on a new challenge to handle the England national team because this national team squad has many Manchester City players at least he knows the character of the players who have been nurtured for a long time at his club it might happen what Pep Guardiola did.

To be asked for a decision now, of course Pep Guardiola will say no details considering he is more focused on the league than discussing this issue which is still a long time away, it is better to wait until the contract expires then he will decide for himself.

It looks like Arsenal has succeeded in bringing in another new player in the transfer market. And this time Arsenal brought in Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. He is a defender who can be expected to strengthen Arsenal's back line. but currently Arsenal actually has quite a lot of quality defenders. So I started to question whose position would be threatened by the presence of Riccardo Calafiori in the Arsenal squad. But I received news that one of the current Arsenal players wants to go to Inter Milan. He is Jakub Kiwior. Because he seems to realize that his playing time next season with Arsenal could be reduced when Arsenal bring in new defenders. So if he wants to remain a player who gets a lot of playing time then he really has to start thinking about moving to a team that is ready to make him a main player and Inter Milan is reportedly the club that now wants this player.

Football London

Yes, maybe medical test done already. It is very easy to understand why Arsenal is able to bring in so many players. Actually so many good & decent players. That because the Gunners is performing well right now and the improvement is very visible. Arteta is literally completing against Manchester City for the English Premier League title. And that's why a lot of young players are very interested in going to Emirates Stadium. They also understand that going to Arsenal is also going to give them a better chance to  get a good playing time instead of them going to some other team like Manchester City. Because Arsenal need to have depth in the squad. I think Riccardo Calafiori is going to be a good edition for Arsenal squad, he is a decent Defender with good physical structure. Calafiori is also only 22 years old. So there is a very big chance that he is going to spend his prime time with Arsenal. I will say good decision by Arteta.

Nevertheless, I will want him to stay to keep given the EPL the competition it needs because if he leaves now, it can be less competitive unless if other managers do well to keep the competition.

Pep is a tactical man, not only in football but also in behaviour and speech. You cannot hold him accountable from his speech. His speech only means that what he has stayed in Manchester city so far will be longer than what he will have to stay again. This means he is free to stay for 3 more seasons and it also means he can leave next month. He is not a gentleman like Klopp who gave Liverpool hint on time and enable them to find a good replacement.

Relating Pep's future in Manchester city to the litigations of Manchester city, Pep once said that even if Manchester city is sent to championship, that he'll go there with them. I know it is a mere statement, so he can still change his mind.

Personal agreement already met between Arsenal and Bologna, but the Bologna team said they are still on paper work, the plain was delayed for almost two times, but I think the paper work will now be complete if the news you bring here is legit concerning god flight to London for medical.

Arteta wants to make Arsenal defense very solid to the extent that the number of goals they will concede per season will not be a double figure; we have seen how last season ended as Arsenal is the team that conceded less goals in all the Premier League last season.
I want Arteta to remember our lack of reliable striker; we need a striker that can score more than twenty goals per season, and an injury free striker that can win us title because we fans have seen the impact of a great striker as we lost last two league titles due to lack good and reliable striker.

So if he wants to remain a player who gets a lot of playing time then he really has to start thinking about moving to a team that is ready to make him a main player and Inter Milan is reportedly the club that now wants this player.

The arrival of Riccardo Calafiori will certainly increase competition in the defensive area, he who has been Bologna mainstay will certainly try to secure a place in Arsenal main squad. His presence will certainly threaten Kiwior's position, his chances of playing in the first team will be reduced and leaving temporarily would be the best solution for him. Inter Milan are very serious about showing their interest in Kiwior, Simone Inzaghi really wants Kiwior to strengthen his defense ahead of the new season.

Arsenal will release Kiwior on loan, the decision is very good and as a future investment, if he performs impressively with Inter Milan, Arsenal can increase his selling value to clubs who want to recruit him permanently. Arsenal continues to move to bring in new players to replace the quality of their squad, the failure to win the EPL trophy last season was the most valuable experience for them and improving the quality of the squad is the solution to make up for last season's mistakes.

I'm starting to like how the Arsenal club is slowly continuing to improve the quality of their squad. Every season we can always see clear developments in the depth of the Arsenal squad. And the quality of their play every season always improves quite rapidly. All of this is thanks to their talented young coach, Arteta, and also because of the support of the club who always trusts Arteta in the process of forming the Arsenal squad slowly from season to season. Maybe this season Arsenal will only add a few new players because they already have quite good squad depth. And I think that's enough. And yes, lending Jakub Kiwior could indeed be a good option. But I read the news that Arsenal seems to prefer to let him go rather than loan him out. But I don't know what the next development will be. However, Inter Milan seems to prefer to borrow him.

Nevertheless, I will want him to stay to keep given the EPL the competition it needs because if he leaves now, it can be less competitive unless if other managers do well to keep the competition.

Pep Guardiola has to be one of the most intelligent managers of the modern day football if you ask me and that's because of how he manages to handle questions thrown at him by the media. When I read his recent interview where he suggested that he might extend his contract at Manchester City contrary to what many people in the media thinks of him, my respect for the Spanish manager increased the more. His statement in may that he was closer to leaving was misconstrued by the press which is why he had to explain it in his recent interview.
Though he had in the past said he'll remain with Manchester City regardless of the outcome of financial charges against the club I think weren't serious statements because I don't see a Pep Guardiola managing a club that's not participating in the top flight
