Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Agbe]

Chelsea were indeed attacked by Celtic and several goals were scored due to Chelsea players' passing errors, but if you look at the team as a whole, it was indeed quite weak and did not play as it should have, even though this was only a friendly match, of course Todd would consider this a crucial match and I am sure Enzo Maresca will be threatened, because in two friendly matches there has been no victory for Chelsea, actually when faced with Chelsea's current situation all coaches find it difficult because in terms of players almost all of Todd Boehly's wishes, almost no players were recruited according to Enzo Maresca's wishes. In my opinion, both failures were bad results from the players not from the coach, it seems that Enzo has tried his best but everything was hampered because the players lacked in passing and also attacking the ball to score goals, Chelsea players are all young and I hope they can develop, I am sure Enzo Merisca can optimize all of that, I am sure they will be a frightening young team, but all of this is just a matter of time because Enzo Merisca needs time.

I don't think so, this is just a friendly match and the coach's job is to design a strategy or try out some new strategies, especially since Enzo Maresca is a new coach handling the Chelsea team, of course he wants to try out some friendly matches so I think the pre-season match will not have any effect.

To build a team that has been slumped is not easy, Enzo Maresca needs support and also time to be able to improve the team's performance.
If Chelsea management expects something instant, I think they will never find it.
The mistakes in the last few seasons should be a lesson for Todd not to repeat them again and try to process to be able to improve the performance of the Chelsea team.

Friendly Match is to know the strongest team and also to know their legs so it is also important in the football competition though there is nothing to attach it but it is good for a team to win because it also used to rank clubs.  Enzo Maresca just need to add more good players to the club. And I know the the next season, Chelsea will do. Now that the transfer window is opened is an opportunity for him to add more.

That the same yesterday Arsenal VS Man united Match was more interesting than Chelsea match. Arsenal 2 and Man U 1. Arsenal always maintain their prestige in the football game. G. Jesus in Arsenal scored the goal at the 26 minutes and G. Martinelli scored 81 minutes while R. Højlund in Man U scored in 10 minutes.  And Arsenal Possessed ball more compared to Man U.

I also think Chelsea played poorly against Celtic and did not meet my expectations too. They struggled to work together and had weaknesses in defense making it easy for Celtic to win. Although preseason games are for trying new things and building teamwork Chelsea performance was still disappointing. But it is good to see their coach Enzo Maresca trying to create new style of play. I think they will get better in future games. With more time and practice Chelsea can find their rhythm and become a strong team again.

There is no need to be disappointed with the results of the pre-season matches that Chelsea got and did not compete for any trophies there. Because it was like a training for every team that even they all still have more time to make improvements after the results of this pre-season. And I think the Celtic team themselves are also not too happy after being able to win in the pre-season match because their target is not to win a lot in the pre-season, but to be able to dominate the match throughout the season later.

It's normal for people to be gutted by Chelsea's results in its last two friendlies on its USA tour. The gameplay of Chelsea is even more terrible than what Pochettino did last season. We humiliated Wrexham 5-0 under Pochettino. Then, they pushed for a draw under Maresca in the game against Wrexham. And again, Celtic showed that Chelsea has a very immature defense. It's crazy to see how easy Celtic to just play 1 pass through our lines is crazy. and the defence looked so bare in this tactic, and so many loopholes are not even fixed. Hopefully, it will be sorted soon. But I think it's going to take a while for these players to be comfortable with 1 or max 2 touches.

Losing Thiago Silva had a huge impact on the defense. Also, It saddens me that this club ignored Mudryk. He's made over 5 runs behind, but no one passes to him. Though mudryk creates something everytime he gets the ball. And they focused to pass the ball to the Noni, which is a crap winger. I hope Estevao replace him.

Why the rush? This is a building phase for Erik ten Hag under the new 25% owners. I think the game earlier today is enough evidence that players need to leave and qualified and quality players needs to come in. That's said, I think gunners deserves the win. But why the penalty shoot out after the game?

Arsenal and Manchester United are strong rivals in the Premier League Competition. It's the reason why I respect them in the Premier League. When you talk about rivalry, nobody or no other club comes close to Manchester United and Arsenal. I think Mikel Arteta will do a better job this season, they should be direct and intentional with every single game.

Manchester United has a long way to go, I had huge expectations from them but, immediately after that game, they need to be brute with whatever they do ahead. Antony, Sancho and Mc Tominay needs to be sold out completely. Harry Maguire is another name.

We know very well, the two teams are tough rivals in the Premier League since the era of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. every chance when the two teams meet, then the match is quite interesting to watch. however, there is an exception for this pre-season match. we know very well that Man United is in the process of rebuilding its squad under the guidance of Erik Ten Hag, as well as Arsenal who made this match a friendly match against its rivals in the Premier League. both Ten Hag and Arteta will measure their players, not only players but also about the system, fitness and mentality before the league starts.

By the way, the result of this match has no significant impact on both teams. in fact, as an Arsenal fan I treat it as an ordinary match. after all, there is no strong motive to win this match all out. in fact, at this time I am not really interested in watching friendly matches, but if we talk about players who leave, especially in the Manchester United camp. some names I agree with what you said, but with that United need to prepare a large budget to bring in other players as a replacement. As you said Ten Hag can judge the result of this match by correcting the shortcomings of his players, maybe he and the club will make some changes in this transfer window before the real campaign starts.

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.

Pep Guardiola still has one season left on his contract with Man City and that means it will end in 2025. He had said he wanted to leave after finishing his contract with Man City but during the pre-season he indicated that he would stay when management gave him trust with a new contract. No one knows for sure about his future because I am sure Pep Guardiola likes challenges and maybe the Italian and French Leagues are the next challenges if he wants to leave or he could also accept the challenge of becoming the England national team coach.

For now it is difficult to say whether he will leave or not after his contract ends but if you look at his quality as a coach then I think it will not be difficult for him to find a new club. Considering becoming the England national team coach is also good because he has a closeness to the style of play in England and it will be much easier to implement in the team.

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.
 

Pep Guardiola who has built Manchester City club into what it is today he who has created a history that will never be forgotten for Man City, I know it is very hard for the club to lose Pep Guardiola but I am sure even though Pep leaves the club, Man City will be fine their performance is still good in the EPL because they still inherit the players built by Pep.

Yes I also saw the latest news if Pep is willing to extend his contract with Man City for another year meaning that until 2026 which will be exactly ten years, I fully support this coach's decision and I also still want to see Pep win many awards with Man City before leaving the club.

It was really nice hearing Pep  say he is willing to stay at Manchester City for few more years, even though he hasn't signed a new contract. But his statement during the last press conference has signaled a new believe that he won't be leaving so soon as many people were hoping he would. Sometimes I keep asking myself why would Pep even want to leave Manchester City, a place he has built and he is well loved by the fans. He has won it all and there is no point moving to another league unless he wants to quit club football and switched to international football. He has coached in Spain, Germany and he is now in England. For me he should stay at Manchester City for many years to come and keep reaping the rewards for his hard works. When he finally decides to leave Manchester City he should go into international football and try to win the world cup that will seal his status as one of the best football coaches in history.

[rendravolt]

The season has not started yet but Manchester United has already had a disaster where two of their players were injured during the pre-season match against Arsenal today and had to come off in the first half. Rasmus Hojlond and Leny Yoro are the two players and I think this is clearly a loss for the Red Devils as the EPL will soon roll in the next few weeks.

Erik ten Hag must have been quite devastated by the injury suffered by his player and with this both their attack line and defense line will be weakened again if he is absent for a long time. I did not expect the pre-season match to be the beginning of a disaster for Manchester United and I think it is better to suffer a clear defeat than to bet on great prestige in a match like this.

Manchester United in the friendly match against Rosenborg lost 0-1 then Manchester United played against Rangers and at that time Manchester United won the match against Rangers with a score of 0-2 and today we saw Manchester United fail to win against Arsenal and of course in my opinion this is This is a natural thing considering that Arsenal is a club that has won the runner up title.
and I see that even though Manchester United lost to Arsenal, I see Manchester United's performance getting better because of course that is normal for them
 Manchester United to lose to Arsenal. and I predict that Manchester United has great potential for its ranking to rise in the coming season and will be able to compete with other strong teams in the EPL. But what do you all think about this, will Manchester United's performance improve in the next season?

Yes, even though Arsenal's match against Manchester United was a friendly match, I saw an improvement in the performance of Erik ten Hag's troops because he managed to score even though only 1 goal against Arsenal

[Majestic-milf]

It's normal for people to be gutted by Chelsea's results in its last two friendlies on its USA tour. The gameplay of Chelsea is even more terrible than what Pochettino did last season.

Though mudryk creates something everytime he gets the ball. And they focused to pass the ball to the Noni, which is a crap winger. I hope Estevao replace him.

No doubt about that. The club will keep on bringing in new coaches to help solve their problems but I don't think it will work out if they don't solve the root cause which is changing their owner. The past three coaches from Pochettino to Lampard all had big visions for the club but because of a narrow minded owner, it then looked they didn't know what they were doing.
 Chelsea is a great club and the players are also trying their best to maintain the standard but when you are faced with the issue of adaptation from some of the new ones, and a coach who is trying desperately to impress, you get a disoriented club and their humiliating defeat to Celtic just made it so obvious how unstable they are.

The Chelsea preseason friendly game against Celtic tonight ended in a 4:1 for the Scottish side. Personally I think Chelsea were very poor in the game and lacked coordination which was why the Celtic players didn't struggle to penetrate through their defense. Of a truth, it's a preseason friendly game, but I still expected a better performance from Chelsea than what I saw considering the fact that they played against a club they're are better than. Enzo Maresca is still trying to blend the team to play his own style of football and I believe he'll do better in coming games

Chelsea less than optimal result against Celtic in a friendly match has raised doubts about Enzo Maresca ability to manage Chelsea. The players were not well coordinated, the defense was very easy for Celtic players to penetrate. I don't think Celtic is weaker than Chelsea because they are currently managed by Brendan Rodgers who is a former Liverpool manager. Chelsea previously also achieved less than satisfactory results from a team from the Welsh League (Wrexham).

Improved performance was highly anticipated after the change of coach, but Chelsea performance is still far from what was expected. Enzo Maresca must work harder in concocting Chelsea to find the right formation, the increasingly tough competition in the EPL means he must be able to make Chelsea perform better when still handled by Pochettino.

I honestly can't understand how Chelsea's management thinks. They had already hired a coach who was able to stabilize the team, I'm talking about Pochettino. They could have kept him and signed more good players. That way, the team would be strong. But with Pochettino's dismissal and this new coaching appointment, the team's performance has regressed a lot. They're going to have to take a long time to stabilize the team.

Usually, a new coach needs a whole season to test the team to determine which players to put in initially and in which positions and what formation to use. Now, if Chelsea's management has high expectations about winning the Premier League, I honestly think they're going to be very disappointed. They probably won't win anything in the next two seasons. I can see this new coach being fired before his contract ends.


Manchester United's performance in friendly matches has not been good:

Rosenborg 1 - 0 Manchester United
Ranger 0 - 2 Manchester United
Arsenal 2 - 1 Manchester United

even having 3 coaches

Manchester United was defeated in their friendly game against the Gunners. This is not entirely the expected game results they were keen on recording. This is bad news for Manchester United because this happens to key players for the club. It's merely pre-season friendlies and Erik Ten Hag have to deal with severe injuries, probably not his expectations. Rasmus Hojlond and Leny Yoro are injured and not confirmed if these injuries sustained are serious or not.

Winning or losing is not really important because this is a friendly match, the injuries suffered by two Manchester United players are the real defeat. The new season has not officially started yet, but Manchester United have to accept the bitter reality, the injuries suffered by Rasmus Hojlond and Leny Yoro are a very painful blow for Ten Hag who is trying to re-form the Manchester United squad after going through a disappointing season. Although it is not yet certain whether the injuries suffered by the two players are serious or not, concerns about their condition remain and there is a possibility that it could happen again when playing in an official match.

So far there has been no official news from Man United regarding Hojlund and Yoro injuries, Ten Hag said that they need to wait for the results of the medical team examination to find out how serious their injuries are. In the next pre-season tour match, Ten Hag must be very careful in determining the starting XI in the pre-season tour, so as not to cause another disaster. There is no point in winning the pre-season tour if you have to lose important players, and that could potentially disrupt their campaign next season. The Premier League will start in mid-August, Ten Hag must be able to work out the pre-season tour as well as possible so that no more players get injured.

Man United have two other friendly matches left, namely against Real Betis and Liverpool, then Ten Hag squad will play the Community Shield final against Manchester City. I think Ten Hag will prioritize the Community Shield final before undergoing the new season campaign later. Besides that, it is likely that Ten Hag will continue to try to recruit new players, so far Man United has only managed to bring in Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee.

[Frankolala]

Manchester United face Arsenal today in a friendly match, although in this match Arsenal are much stronger and they have a great attack. Manchester United went through relatively poor performances last season and have yet to improve their game much. The game is almost at the end, but the goal difference is 2-1 Manchester United still behind if they want to level the game they must attack strongly, score goals. Although Manchester United had a good attack in the beginning, but later they could not attack their game much. Anyway, in today's friendly match, Manchester United will lose and Arsenal will win. Man United had very little possession against Arsenal, but this match was much more interesting as both teams attacked from the start and unfortunately Manchester United lost.

Honestly I don't expect much from this match, because even though they played normally I can understand because they are trying out a strategy which means they are not hunting for victory in a friendly match like this. I don't know whether this can be an assessment or not, because I'm not sure they played to their best ability, but what is clear from this match is that there is a little progress. However, I will not conclude because I am more waiting for their real match later. They must be able to experiment in a friendly match like this, because the time to be in the competition is getting closer, so they don't have much time and it is impossible for them to experiment in a real competition. Arsenal is preparing to provide a more worthy challenge because they have a target to become champions, while Manchester United wants to prove that they can be better in the coming season.

It was good performance from the Arsenal team once again. They are looking sharp going into the season. I trust whatever Arteta has been doing in this Arsenal team. I think what’s more interesting is seeing they have a decent young team that can play cup games and do well. Overall it was a good workout and I’m pleased to see some new first team faces, I think they played better vs Bournemouth.
The Arsenal squad that featured yesterday looked ready. It’s a very big good position to be in. The integration of these young players is something I’ll like to see Arteta do when the season starts.
Manchester United still have a lot to work on. Ten hag cannot take this defense into the season. More defensive signings need to be done if he wants to make the top 4.

If you look at the results, of course, Arsenal was better than Man United because they won with a score of 2-1 but that doesn't really reflect the true strength of the two teams because they didn't play with their respective best squads and this is just a friendly match. Now we just have to wait and see whether Arsenal will really be able to beat Man United on December 4 because I think Man United will be the winner.

You are in a haste to give final judgment on Dec 4 match and I will not conclude yet on who will be the winner between Manchester united and Arsenal because the season has not started yet, and I haven't seen the performance of both teams in different matches.

Like you said, yesterday's match is what the true strengths of both clubs because friendly matches are used for experiments and the players are like specimens because in a real match we won't see young players but the first eleven of both teams. This is why I am not bothered or worried after the outcome of yesterday's match.

So sad for the team and the coach, such blow usually affects the coach’s plans and tactics and now he will be forced to adjust things. The season hasn’t started yet and they are already losing important players, they will hope they are not out for too long so they can return asap. Manchester United have suffered from injuries this past season, alot of players were out injured last season i just hope they won’t suffer the same this time around because this is already a bad sign for them.

Injuries are bound to happen in football and they cannot be prevented unless you don’t play matches so be it pre season or friendly matches injuries are likely to happen. Sometimes these injuries can be caused by fitness team by not balancing the fitness or the players or by over loading them.

The start of a season means so much to a club. How they perform and the points they can get from their first six matches are very important. Starting the season with players' absence because of injury is going to cost them a lot of points when they start the season. Although with the look of things it doesn't seem to be the fault of the Arsenal players that caused the clash and casualties.

Erik Ten Hag should expect reports from the medical team. To know when the Hojlond would be fit to be back on the pitch. Manchester United fans are currently in panic right now because of the sad news, they expect to compete in the EPL this season but with what has happened it begins to seem impossible when two important players are off the team for some time.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Both teams always bring their all to make the game interesting each time they meet and this isn't a new thing with UTD playing out poorly in a friendly game, I wasn't impressed by what I saw from the Red Devils. Manchester United have the attack more than the Arsenal side and still lost the game, so what will happen when the main event begins? Will Manchester United still be looking for who to blame their lack of form on?
The problem is these guys claim to be Man UTD but they aren't united in anyway and I hope ETH is taking note, the fans ain't happy to see their team losing games when we have about 2 weeks before the new campaign begins, something positive need to happen and the team is not even convincing to say they can do well next season.

Why the rush? This is a building phase for Erik ten Hag under the new 25% owners. I think the game earlier today is enough evidence that players need to leave and qualified and quality players needs to come in. That's said, I think gunners deserves the win. But why the penalty shoot out after the game?

Arsenal and Manchester United are strong rivals in the Premier League Competition. It's the reason why I respect them in the Premier League.

I think Mikel Arteta will do a better job this season, they should be direct and intentional with every single game.

Manchester United has a long way to go, I had huge expectations from them but, immediately after that game, they need to be brute with whatever they do ahead. Antony, Sancho and Mc Tominay needs to be sold out completely. Harry Maguire is another name.

Let's tell ourselves the truth, Man UTD are not a team you say they are rebuilding because they are soaked with always win win win and now they have to start taking things gradually and you know it will cause them game all in the name of rebuilding? I expected them to use the previous friendly games to learn and now they are repeating the same mistakes over again, even if Arsenal are suppose to win like you said, they (UTD) should have made it very hard for the Gunners, to me I haven't seen what the Gunners played to even win the game, only if UTD was sharp enough they would have turn the game around.

It's difficult if it's still about prestige, because even though this is just a friendly match, but they also play all the main players. Although indeed, at least they were also guaranteed to carry out full rotation in the second half but unfortunately,  the two Manchester United players who suffered injuries actually occurred in the first half. Thus, they had not had time to make substitutions to make a full rotation in the second half, but they experienced this bad incident in the first half.

So yes, even though friendly matches are not supposed to be played optimally, but because they have prestige, and then they also do their best. After all, it seems that the main players often suffer injuries in matches like this, so something like this has become a risk that is difficult to avoid.

This is why I have been of the opinion that ten hag would have left Manchester United at the end of last season, I don't know if he's got the technical ability to be able to still manage this team to getting better results by next season especially now that he's already gotten key players injured, this could mean a bad start off for them by the beginning of the season, something that's really going to affect their total performance by the end of the season. Well looking at their performance, I wouldn't want to give a conclusive judgment based on this because it's a preseason performance but the injuries now are of great concerns except it happens they aren't sever enough that it may affect them into the new season.

The friendly match should only be a warm-up match before the official competition starts on August 17 later, so I don't think the main players need to force themselves to use all their abilities in friendly match and end up getting injured, currently Hojlund is a player who has a very important role in Manchester United front line, but if the injury they get is very serious then Manchester United will suffer huge losses next season, especially when they have to face Manchester City in Community Shield in near time, what happened to Hojlund and Leny Yoro should be a lesson for Ten Hag not to put pressure on their players are in a friendly match, this time Manchester United has not confirmed Hojlund and Leny Yoro injuries, but several media estimates that Hojlund has a hamstring injury while Leny Yoro has an ankle injury in the match.

It was good performance from the Arsenal team once again. They are looking sharp going into the season. I trust whatever Arteta has been doing in this Arsenal team. I think what’s more interesting is seeing they have a decent young team that can play cup games and do well. Overall it was a good workout and I’m pleased to see some new first team faces, I think they played better vs Bournemouth.
The Arsenal squad that featured yesterday looked ready. It’s a very big good position to be in. The integration of these young players is something I’ll like to see Arteta do when the season starts.
Manchester United still have a lot to work on. Ten hag cannot take this defense into the season. More defensive signings need to be done if he wants to make the top 4.

If you look at the results, of course, Arsenal was better than Man United because they won with a score of 2-1 but that doesn't really reflect the true strength of the two teams because they didn't play with their respective best squads and this is just a friendly match. Now we just have to wait and see whether Arsenal will really be able to beat Man United on December 4 because I think Man United will be the winner.

Well that's what I mean, even though they won this friendly match, is there a guarantee that they will win in the first meeting of the Premier League? No one can guarantee that. We will still analyze based on their strengths and there are also many other factors that we can use to analyze the match that will be played.
I am sure that in the league it will be very different from what they showed in this match, because in the competition they are really hunting for points that they will get if they win or at least get a draw to secure one point.
For now, Arsenal is indeed favored because in the last 2 seasons they have been in the runner-up position with their performance continuing to improve. While there are still many doubts about Manchester United because their performance has not improved under the coaching of Erik Ten Hag.
