Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[mammusu]

Imao it is not a matter of serious injury or not but a matter of physical condition where he only played 1 match in the pre-season but experienced fragile feet. How will it be after the League starts where the physical stamina of a defender is required to be maintained then there is a risk that Yoro will often experience the same thing. For that I hope the management of Manchester United physical trainer must be able to monitor and overcome the physical vulnerabilities of its players. Because if it is not handled properly then who will be willing to be a tough defender to guard United defense in the EPL and the European League. A busy schedule and health that should be prioritized need to be given special attention.

Either Manchester United are unlucky or Leny Yoro is physically weak like Dembele when he was at Barcelona. But I agree with you that fitness coaches should really monitor and maintain the fitness of each player. If a defender has fragile feet then it will be a big problem when the league competition starts. This season the matches are denser because of the new format in the champions league or the european league but the English league schedule is also busier than other leagues.

It's quite unfortunate if you look at the injury that befell Leny Yoro at the moment, even though in his first match with Manchester United he appeared very impressive and was able to defend Manchester United defense very well, if I look at the injury that occurred in his debut match, I actually remember what happened to Timber last season when he was first brought in by Arsenal from Ajax, Timber at that time also suffered an injury in his first match with Arsenal and forced him to rest for almost a season, currently we don't know what injury Leny Yoro got and how serious his condition, but I hope he can recover quickly to be able to play and help Manchester United to compete next season in the European League and EPL, actually Leny Yoro has good condition and physical condition, but if we look at his movements which are often careless in guarding opposing players of course he could potentially suffer a lot of injuries this season future and Ten Hag must really be able to handle it well next season.

[Frankolala]

It's really unlucky for Man United, the injury crisis last season has not ended, now Manchester United must experience bad luck again, the player they recruited this summer have been injured before joining the 2024/25 Premier League competition. I think Erik Ten Hag is quite careless this time because he didn't think about the bad things that would happen if he insisted on using his mainstay players for this pre-season match just because they didn't want to lose even though they were still defeated by Arsenal because Arsenal's performance was still better than MU, I really feel sorry for MU right now even though they are just about to start the season with the hope of being better than before, but if their players are injured I think Man United will have a hard time competing in the EPL

Manchester United have confirmed that Leny Yoro will be out for 3 months while Rasmus Hojlund has a hamstring injury and will be out for more than a month. It has been confirmed that at the start of the season MU will not be able to use their mainstay this players.

I don't know how they (UTD) are going to do it but I can tell you for free that Manchester United are in for big trouble next season because I can't seem to wrap my head around this injuries coming up when they're very close to start up the season and the new defender Yoro just reminded me of Lisandro Martínez, he did well but later on injury started slowing him down and I don't want to say this but I have to, Yoro is going to be another version of Lisandro Martínez but let's hope he recovers fast to come help the team to avoid what happened last season from repeating it self.
This period ETH needs his full squad to be all active, with Rashford out due to injury the man Hojlund is also out for 3 months like what's up with this team? Nobody really knows where to say this is their main problem and I wonder how they're going to manage to play against Manchester City in the community shield.
If ETH is thinking of using some teenagers against the Citizens I don't think it will end well because I know for sure that Pep has a secret plan this coming season, not only for UTD but for all clubs who uses their poor performance in the friendlies to judge. And all I can say about UTD issue is they need a backup striker.

What a devastating news after all that was spent to keep the team balanced and injury wants to ruin everything for ETH and Manchester united next season because if the season begins in a poor form, it will after the overall performance of United throughout next season.

It means that City will automatically win community shield. Injury ruin everything for united last season will that also be possible next season. I just hope that these injuries don't last. This is why coaches don't take preseason matches serious and play their best squad because injury can come up from there and it becomes a problem for the club in real matches.

In the Club Friendlies, Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-1. Though people were saying that friendly Matches are not used to do anything or score the performance of a club but I believe it is also to know the strength of the club on the forthcoming Premier League Tournament or season. So through the Friendlies, coaches would know the good players to select and those ones that can be substituted in the second half. So club Friendlies is also an important Match for the clubs.
M. Salah and F. Carvalho scored for Liverpool and K. Havertz scored for Arsenal.

Chelsea won Club América with 3-0 and the players who scored the goals were:
1. C. Nkunku
2. M. Guiu
3. N. Madueke
These players will be the focus in the forthcoming Premier League Tournament in the season.

Well, everything still has meaning. Likewise with friendly matches. Strategy trials and observations of new or second-tier players can be done by taking advantage of pre-season matches. But very often when a strong team plays against a strong team the match will become more serious. I mean they will play at almost maximum strength. Because they want to test their strength when facing a strong team. different from when playing against a team that is considered weaker. Like in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, I think both teams showed their respective strengths from the start. Although as time goes by the rotation continues.

Chelsea looks like they will have a good season this season. And so does Liverpool. Arne slot shows a quite unique strategy. And maybe that's what Liverpool will use this season.

What a devastating news after all that was spent to keep the team balanced and injury wants to ruin everything for ETH and Manchester united next season because if the season begins in a poor form, it will after the overall performance of United throughout next season.

It is bad news and change Manchester United's plans for pre-season and early weeks, matches of a new season but will an absence of a new player affects them too much. I don't know and they must prepare for scenario that a new player can not adapt well, without injuries, to their squad and can not contribute good performances for them too.

Injury ruin everything for united last season will that also be possible next season. I just hope that these injuries don't last. This is why coaches don't take preseason matches serious and play their best squad because injury can come up from there and it becomes a problem for the club in real matches.

In the past season, Manchester United had many problems and not only from injuries. They can blame their poor performances last season on injuries but if they have best players, no injury, they can have bad matches too. Because with best players, their squad is still not strong and competitive enough and they have weakness from defense to other areas on field too. If they can avoid injuries, they will have more player choices and potentially have better performances, but they are far to compete for the title with Manchester City and Arsenal.

[Stable090]

I think the competition will be more intense, it will not be just a championship fight between two teams. I also think that the betting odds may change after a few matches. Manchester City may not be the champion this year. I think Arsenal can achieve the championship they have been longing for for years this year.

Why do you think Manchester City won’t be the champions of next season, and why do you think Arsenal will be the one to win it? We know that Arsenal has competed with Manchester City for two consecutive seasons, and they ended the season in second place. I don’t really see why you think Arsenal will win it this time around. Arsenal's defense and midfielders are kind of strong, but Arsenal need more strikers if they really want to win the Premier League, and I see Arteta is not really working on that.

In fact, they have been competing very well for the last two years, but they lost the cup to City. I don't think they will make the same mistake this year.

The same mistake that Arsenal made in the few seasons ago repeated itself last season, and everyone was thinking something like that wouldn’t happen last season. Another season will soon be starting, and I won’t be surprised if the same thing happens.

This season the matches are denser because of the new format in the champions league or the european league but the English league schedule is also busier than other leagues.

I will rather say it is the former, last season Manchester United were faced with the same injury problem with their star players and now they are sweating with four player’s potentially out, first I wouldn’t say Leny Yoro is weak because we all know how good he was at Lille, in fact according to Fabrizio Romano, he missed just six days last season which was due to fever and not injury so it is not that he is weak, but a matter of been unlucky. We have seen the likes of Hazard, Bale and many other players having their dream move shattered with injury, hopefully Yoro doesn’t fall in same category.

But one thing I will say is Manchester United really need to improve their medical system because it is getting worse day by day, I could recall Madrid facing same problem over the years and a change of medical staffs solved the problem for them. If it is about intense training then Erik Ten Hag needs to look at that too

It is indeed a worrisome news and with ETH in charge I feel he'll be pressured on what to do next, just when he thought he has gotten things right for ones it all start falling apart again. How can he win this battle of injuries at this early stage of his new project? The team would have been balanced no doubt but I think this is meant to be for Manchester United and he shouldn't wait for the players to recover before something positive starts happening, like I said ETH should continue getting replacement for these injured players. I just wish the striker from Bologna Joshua Zirkzee won't sustain his injury on his first game for UTD because we don't know what might happen next, if it happens then the squad is doomed throughout the season.

I think there is a reason why they call it friendly matches, because the outcome of the game doesn't mean anything. It is only the Media that tries to make something out of it. in friendlies players tries their best to play as competitive as they can, but I believe that even the coaches also tell their players to take things easy while playing. The main purpose of these matches are just to keep fit. Just take a look at Manchester United whose players are trying to prove themselves to the manager in preseason matches. They have been hit with injuries. Since the players has not been playing much of competitive matches for sometime now if they go to physical they are likely to pick up injuries. Every coach already know his first team players despite that they are still in preseason.

Hopefully this recent news would force Manchester United owners into getting the deal for De Ligt done in the next ten day, because, I speak for all Manchester United fan when I say that, I'm not comfortable with Harry Maguire as the first choice for center back when they go on to face Manchester City in the Community Shield and Premier League Competition kick off.

Injuries and setbacks are meant to happen, I'm not so vexed, I'm only mad because Manchester United do not have a good replacement for him, relying on Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof is not different from relying on Nigeria Police and Government for protection.. Crazzzzzzyyy!

Yeah, I agree. I can remember how they misinformed Erik ten Hag last season and he let go of Sergio Regulon. That cannot repeat itself again.

[Weawant]

I am also seeing some contradicting comments from those bloggers. And they is no official announcement on this issue except those bloggers and social media platforms. Some are saying that Osimhen is yet to accept the deal while some already confirmed that he has been transferred to Chelsea but the information is not really clear for public consumption yet until we got an official announcement on the transfer. This week and next week will be the last week for the transfer. So something or result must come out.

Currently except for speculative Post form bloggers and other platforms who are trying to gain and maintain attention with the osimhen new, there have been no official News from Chelsea football club, or osimhen's managers and agents, even one of the most reliable blogs fabrizo is yet to say anything about it so it will be better to keep watching and see what the possible outcome would be and not to get associated with any of the assumptions we see out there just yet, but then talks are on going between osimhen and Chelsea and ofcourse Napoli is involved.

Although there is no clarity yet, but at least something that I thought before seems to be close to reality, about the exchange of Lukaku and Osimhen. Although indeed, basically there are several elite teams who are interested in bringing Osimhen but anyway, basically Osimhen also some time ago stated giving his statement that he wanted to play at Chelsea. At the same time, Conte, who is the new coach of Napoli, also wants Lukaku who currently is under contract at Chelsea.

With this factor, I also previously thought that the exchange of players would occur over time, and at this moment I also got some news sources that made such news about the exchange of Lukaku and Osimhen. Nevertheless, at least I also still believe that other elite teams can still bring Osimhen but anyway, because of the Conte factor who really wants Lukaku, the transfer with the exchange of players is likely to become a reality.

This is why coaches don't take preseason matches serious and play their best squad because injury can come up from there and it becomes a problem for the club in real matches.

Obviously it is a sad news for the red devils because nothing sets confusion for a team than losing players to injuries at the start of a new season and not just an ordinary player but the key ones in that matter so it's really a bad sign for Manchester United because they will find it difficult to withstand Manchester City in the community shield with these developments.

This is why major players don't need to be much involved in pre season games since they can be exposed to getting an early injury before the season kicks off, they should feature more of junior players in friendly matches than use their main players. ETH needs to be very careful this season to avoid a poor performance in this early start of the league because he may not be lucky as he was last season where they started in a very bad form but was able to end well after clinching the F.A Cup title. This season might be quite different for them if they don't start well

Osimhen future is still very uncertain although some of the speculations we are getting online from the football bloggers do have a bit of close intel on what's on ground. Chelsea have been on Osimhen as well as PSG but what's deterring both clubs is the price plaved on Osimhen which is fairly high. PSG is even the club that's most serious in talking terms for the striker than Chelsea right now but everything will become more clearer as the days goes on closer to the close of transfer window.

Some managers or coaches  used friendly matches to access some of the players performance after switching their role to another position just like Arteta manager playing Havetz in midfield for Arsenal and Chelsea new manager had also played James in a new position all these is geared towards playing a formidable squad when the season start, while friendly matches is another avenue for managers to test academy players and choose those to be drafted into the main squad and those to go on loan,  personally I don't think friendly matches is as competitive as real matches because many changes are made by each team to test almost all the travelling players.

These bloggers seem to only post opinions to attract football fans to continue reading what they write even though they don't have credible sources to support their stories, Currently, rumors and speculation have been mixed up with hoaxes which also continue to be developed by the media which only aims to increase their income so far, regarding all the speculation that occurs in football of course apart from the information provided by Fabrizio, to be honest I wouldn't believe it, in my opinion there are currently several media that are trustworthy in reporting every speculation that exists but not as fast as what has been reported by Fabrizio so far, even compared to the player family, Fabrizio actually knows better where the player will leave .

currently speculation and hoaxes about Osimhen future continue to circulate and as @Weawant said, it is best for us to continue watching the drama that is happening between Osimhen, Napoli and Chelsea now until the end.

[rahmad2nd]

I don’t know is Arteta's plans going into the season but I hope he’s not planning on winning the EPL without a proven striker. I have noticed a similar pattern with this Arsenal football club. From the time of Arsene Wenger, they will have a squad short of one important position. Instead of going big for that position, they end up signing players in positions they are not lacking.

If we don't get a proper 9, we have repeated the same mistake for 3 seasons. Out of the last 10 seasons: Premier League winners had a top 3 scorer in 4 out of 10 seasons. 40% Out of the 31 PL seasons, 18 seasons saw the Premier League winner having a top 3 scorer. 58%. When they needed a striker the most, they got Havertz that wasn’t needed. Sometimes When I say the acquisition of Havertz is some kinda error, people will be up in arms.
How exactly do you spend a whopping £65m on a player and you don’t even know the position to play him, a season on and you are still not sure of which position fits him most.

Various news reports have so far reported that Arteta and Edu are in the process of completing their squad by bringing in several new arrivals, not only strengthening their defense and bringing in Calafiori from Bologna, but several names in several positions have also been linked to Arsenal in this summer's transfer window. In addition, Arsenal are also reported to be bringing in Mikel Merino from Sociedad who will fill the midfield position. On the other hand, several Arsenal players are reported to be leaving, apart from Emile Smith Rowe, Nketiah has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Marseille, the Ligue 1 club, now just waiting for an agreement between Arsenal and Marseille.

Well, the rumor is that Arsenal will seriously move to get the number 9 player to replace Nketiah in the center forward position. Previously, several names had been linked to Arsenal, but the effort could not be realized due to obstacles in the transfer price agreement. Several newspapers that I read reported that Arsenal are now looking at Viktor Gyokeres again, and according to a Spanish report quoted by TeamTalk, Arteta has made Gyokeres his main striker target. Contract talks with agents and players have been ongoing, Arsenal have made solid progress as they try to put together a deal quickly too. I can only hope that Arteta and Edu don't make the wrong moves in this transfer window. The point is, we want Arsenal to be much more competitive.

Osimhen future is still very uncertain although some of the speculations we are getting online from the football bloggers do have a bit of close intel on what's on ground. Chelsea have been on Osimhen as well as PSG but what's deterring both clubs is the price plaved on Osimhen which is fairly high. PSG is even the club that's most serious in talking terms for the striker than Chelsea right now but everything will become more clearer as the days goes on closer to the close of transfer window.

Arsenal were also in the bid to sign Osimhen but the money the Napoli management is demanding is much and the player didn’t worth the money based on his last season’s performance.

Chelsea were trying to sign him on loan since the money is much and the new Napoli manager seems to prefer Lukaku over Osimhen, while PSG were a bit back with their requests because of the high amount and the Napoli management so far is yet to come close to agreement between them and Napoli.

[Asiska02]

What a devastating news after all that was spent to keep the team balanced and injury wants to ruin everything for ETH and Manchester united next season because if the season begins in a poor form, it will after the overall performance of United throughout next season.

Starting the new season with an incomplete squad that you’ve trained to kick off the season with is a very bad sign to have a successful season. Eric Ten Hag can always avoid this injury going forward and this should have made more sense if was a plan B substitute players that got injured. In all, injury can’t be avoided but only controlled, so I think he should not be blamed too much for this and should look for a solution to that soon.

It means that City will automatically win community shield. Injury ruin everything for united last season will that also be possible next season. I just hope that these injuries don't last. This is why coaches don't take preseason matches serious and play their best squad because injury can come up from there and it becomes a problem for the club in real matches.

Let’s not give a conclusion yet on who is going to win the community shield by next season. Manchester City and Manchester United met last in the FA Cup finals which the weaker team, Manchester United won the finals as a shock to everyone. We shouldn’t still underestimate their prowess and what they can do to achieve a win in this match. They still have the chance even with the injuries, they just have to plan themselves well to win this trophy.

Hey guys, new season is in so title has been updated and poll has been reset to 0. Good luck getting many correct predictions this season and taking some money from the bookies.

I think for reference it is necessary to record the opinions of bookmakers before the start of the season:

Winner

Manchester City - 2.10

Arsenal - 2.88

Liverpool - 8.00

Chelsea - 21.00

Manchester United - 23.00

Newcastle United - 29.00

Tottenham Hotspur - 34.00

If I remember correctly, the picture is completely different from last season, where City were the undisputed favourites. Now we have two favourites and everyone else. I would like to believe that the bookmakers are wrong and the fight will be more intense.

What I can't really believe is that they are listing Chelsea above United? I mean have they actually checked what United did this off season? I am not a big fan or anything, but I mean it's clear that they are trying their best to be a team that can fight for a third spot this year.

They know that City and Arsenal will be first and second, and they know normally Liverpool would be third but there is a new manager with Arne Slot, so I feel like we are going to see United aim for either fourth or if possible third. I am not saying that it would be possible for them to do that, but I would give them something like 18.00 odds in this case, which would mean that they would be ranked fourth, and would show how they are not really that unlikely to be at that level. In any case, I feel like this will be fine for them and they look better than Chelsea.
