Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Rampagoe004]

Even though it was a friendly match, Liverpool should have been important, as this is where their reputation began this season. If they start performing badly from now then they won't be able to perform well in the next stage, that's why it should never be skipped by watching only friendly matches. Liverpool had enough experienced players to make the squad look like they would win, so any game should be taken seriously as there are many gamblers who place bets on the strong teams they believe. So thousands of gamblers lost their money by performing negligently like I also lost some money in this match.

I watched their last match against La Palmas. Liverpool used a lot of bench players. On paper Liverpool have a good record with shots on target and possession. But unfortunately they do not have a good finishing to convert chances into goals. This match has hurt many gamblers because no one expected Liverpool to fail to win the match. But I think people should know that this friendly match they have a new manager who will need time to adapt. I am sure Arne Slot has done a lot of testing by rotating some players and trying various experimental tactics. The new season is about to start and there we will be able to see how Liverpool really performs.

......

Yes, it's quite a coincidence Manchester United will be the first team to play a match in the EPL against Fulham. Yes, we'll see who will win later, but in that match I predict that Manchester United will have the potential big to win. Chelsea's match against Manchester City will indeed be a difficult match for Chelsea, but of course we'll see how the result will be, but I predict that in that match, Manchester City will have great potential to win against Chelsea, but yes, we'll see and I think I can't wait. see the techniques created by Enzo Maresca in the upcoming EPL.

We cannot yet measure the strength of each team before the first week is over. Oh, that's why sometimes the team that is favored can even be the team that loses. Or the situation could remain the same as last season, namely that the favorite team will ultimately remain the favorite team. It's just that I feel there will be something different about this season. The Man United vs Fullham match may at first glance be quite easy to predict. namely Man United should be the favorites in this match. But the opposite result can indeed occur. But I also prefer to bet on Man United.

The Chelsea vs Man City match actually looks quite easy to predict. namely Man City will be the most favorite team by everyone. But as I said it is still early days and the opposite result could happen. But I still hope Man City is still as strong as last season.

Of course we have to watch all the first week's matches first and of course if we have watched the first week of course we will be able to measure the strength of the teams competing in the 2024-2025 EPL season and of course there will definitely be some ease in predicting it because of course there will definitely be differences in pre-season matches. with a real fight.

In the world of football, of course, it is always full of mysteries and surprises and sometimes the favorite team may lose or vice versa. In the Manchester United vs Fulham match, of course we won't know who will win, but yes, I personally am the same as you, I think I also want to bet on Manchester United winning and I predict the score at that time will end with a score of 0-3 for Manchester United winning. However, if you look at the last meeting between Manchester United and Fulham, when Manchester United lost to Fulham with a score of 1-2, of course the match will be very exciting because Erik Ten Hag's troops will definitely want to avenge this defeat.

I see that Manchester City is still strong, but of course I see a slight decline in performance, but of course, against Chelsea, I will bet on Manchester City winning, so we'll see and what is certain is that both teams will definitely be serious about winning that match. Of course Pep and Enzo Maresca will definitely show their best strategy.

[Litzki1990]

I would've probably countered your opinion if only Manchester United were going to manager that's different from the one that's been at the club for the past two seasons but since Erik ten Hag is still the club's coach and will still oversee their games next season, I seriously doubt that Manchester United are going to do anything better than they've done in recent seasons. Considering the quality of players at United, I think they have all it takes to become a serious contender for the league title next season but the club manager haven't been convincing enough with his performances for anyone to think they can challenge the English champions Manchester City. Like you rightly said, Manchester United might make it to top four but not winning the league title

I don't ignore your opinion because it is a possibility that could happen it's just that sometimes there are things we never thought of and it can be a surprise. Ten Hag may not be the greatest manager but last season he had a lot of problems with players such as injuries and legal cases thus disrupting its performance, well, for next season we don't know what other problems will come. For the Premier League I have 3 favourite teams to win the title the first is Arsenal and Manchester City then Chelsea I see these teams have the potential to be closer to the title, Meanwhile Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United do not seem worthy of competing there. do you have another favorite team?

All the players of a team will not be fit for a whole season, so the manager of every team should think of alternatives in advance, thinking that players may get injured. If you only strengthen your starting XI but don't pay attention to your bench players then you will never reach a good position with your team. For example, if several important players of the original eleven are injured, then if you cannot support your original eleven with good quality players from the bench, then the performance of the team will gradually decrease. Sometimes a player is injured for the entire season after performing in a few matches at the beginning of the season, but the club suffers a lot if the club does not have alternative options. This season too, Manchester United did not have an alternative option, so failure may await them in the next season as well.

[Abbatty]

For me, Man City still remains my favorite. But If they get kicked out, then I'd say Arsenal to take the first place. I still stick to the scenario where Arsenal can finish at the second place, and it has minor gap toward City. This was caused by Arsenal is not really solving the problem in their forward. However, if Arsenal can sign an above-average striker, I think they can get one step closer to winning the league. The problem is Arteta sticks with the same forward as last season. This raises my doubts. It's hard to see how they can take first without a beast of a striker.

Those are the two best teams now and i also think either of the two teams are the favorites. Arsenal also have a high chance of success just as Manchester City but my major fear is that they don’t have a goal poacher in their team which is something they need so badly if they want to stand a chance against Manchester City. It’s almost end of the transfer window and they are still yet to bring in a striker.


Some changes needs to bee done and more attacking players need to be added so they can be unpredictable. Saka and Martinelli are already predictable players and they need support.

[Helena Yu]

Man City became more successful when he was the coach and it was difficult to do before Pep Guardiola joined as their coach.
If you notice, Man City was not a big club before and they had a hard time getting to the Champions League final to get the trophy.
But the presence of Pep Guardiola gave them the opportunity to lift three trophies at the same time in the previous season.

Pep Guardiola is the one who make Manchester City become one of the best team, but Khaldoon Al Mubarak was the one who make Manchester City can reach at this level. Al Mubarak is a rich person, he support Manchester City's financial which make them able to hire Mancini, Pellegrini and Pep.

Having a lot money will make the team have many option, fortunately Manchester City is a team that made good decision with the money they have.

Manchester City won Premier League titles before Pep Guardiola joined them but his appearance in the club actually help to increase quality and stability of the club a lot recent years. They no longer won Premier League titles sparsely but dominated the league with 6 titles in the last 7 seasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League

Here is all 8 Premier League titles of Manchester City and seasons they won these ones.

2011–12, 2013–14, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2020–21, 2021–22, 2022–23, 2023–24

By domination and massive success recent seasons, Manchester City have 8 titles and stay at the second position, after Manchester United with 13 titles. Chelsea stays at the third position with 5 Premier League titles. The ranking up of Manchester City is very quickly last 7 seasons and it's very impressive.

[Sebas.tian]

In the poll I said Manchester City would be champions but this time I want Arsenal to win. Every year a team goes forward but in the final City are champions. Let's see a different champion. Arsenal came ahead for me because I saw the other teams a little bit behind. Maybe Chelsea will be better this time with their new signings. I don't think United and Liverpool are too ambitious, I think Arsenal will do it, maybe Chelsea a little bit. Any other surprise is close to impossible. Stories like Leicester City happen once in a hundred years.

For me, Man City still remains my favorite. But If they get kicked out, then I'd say Arsenal to take the first place.

Why would Manchester city remain your favorite team in the next season, because they are doing well in some pre season matches and they even defeated Manchester united in the community competition to embraced the title. It will be difficult for Manchester city to be kicked out from the tournament next season, because Pep Guardiola still remain their manager which he will not allow anything like that to happen to the team, because he want to achieve a good record from Manchester city before he can resign  from the team for another manager to take over. If you look at what Arsenal is playing in this pre season matches, you know that it will be difficult for them to win the title next season, because they are still facing some challenges that will still make them to drop points at the end of the tournament for Manchester city to take over to embrace the title again.

Yes, a striker is what most Arsenal fans thinks will hinder their chances of winning the league title this season. And If they don't get the position they need, it might just be the same story all over again full of hope.

With the number of goals they scored last season, one might think they can compete this season without an actual striker. I think they need an actual striker tbh but I highly doubt the manager will get one. There are capping their hopes at a midfielder and a winger and hoping fortune smiles at them.

Let's just see how it goes. If Manchester City decide that they are tired of winning, Arsenal may just win the league like that.

[klidex]

If we are to be using earlier performance to determine league winner, I think Arsenal will always be the league winner of EPL. Arsenal is found of being very serious at the beginning of the league but then looseguard and relent as the season progress without sustaining the energy till when necessary.

For the last 2 seasons Arsenal have made the same mistake they have performed well since the beginning of the season but weakened towards the end of the season, but that doesn't mean they just give in to Manchester City, no club wants to give in and surrender when they have the opportunity to win the title it's just that Arsenal were unlucky not to be able to finish the season with the hope of winning the EPL trophy, next season Arsenal must be able to stabilize their performance until the end at least Mikel Arteta can rotate his players so that at the end their main players are not exhausted.

By the way, did you mind checking the lineup that played against Sevilla and the one that played against Las palmas? I just checked now and you can not expect the same results when you feature different players despite that the team strength also matters. I don't want to comment on Liverpool at the moment until season starts.

Yes I also just checked it Liverpool did not use players with the same line-up so that's why their appearance was very different from before I think because the match was held on the same day so the coach rotates and uses the players as just available.

This is exactly what's getting me worried about Arsenal credential to win the premier league title this season. Although they scored lots of goals last season and possibly Arteta still believe that the team is going to produce same or more amounts of goals this season again. Arsenal should have gotten a good striker that can score 25 goals and above a season, it will boast their tittle bid. Gabriel Jesus is just an average striker and most times he goes on for weeks without scoring and that's not good for a team that want to beat Manchester City for the premier league. Manchester City that their striker has won the golden boot for two straight seasons and still looking forward to winning this season's own. Nobody is going to hand Arsenal the premier league for free, or out of pity. So the should better fix their forward line now that they have the chance.

These are the statistics from last season from here we can see that Arsenal have everything they need to compete with Manchester City good defense and enough goals maybe they were just unlucky but as you said if Arsenal get a new striker maybe their performance can improve and the potential to win the title is getting closer. Anyway, we are still waiting for transfer news from Arsenal until the transfer window closes and until now I still believe that Arsenal has the same chance as Manchester City. By the way I also consider Chelsea as one of the teams that can disturb these two teams to win the title as we know, Chelsea has started to build a strategy and squad to compete at the top of the standings.

It seems that the registration of EPL players ends this Thursday. Arsenal seems to have only brought in 2 new players, Riccardo Calafiori, Central Defender and David Raya, the goalkeeper. They did not bring in new attackers, or new midfielders. This condition looks the same as Man City. They just got Savinho and some old Man City players also left. So it's still very difficult to predict next season. It seems that only Man United and Chelsea have brought in more than 2 players for next season.

Bro, you just said my mind here, I have equally said it before that arsenal can't win the league with this current attackers at their disposal, relying on someone like Gabriel Jesus and Kyle havertz, players that can't even produce the least fifteen goal per season in the English premier league, though their are those fans that would argue that the arsenal team generally scored a whole lot of goals last season with this current attackers, but my question is that, where did it lead them to?
Did they win anything? No.

Mikel arteta have failed to understand that if you look at the history of the premier league and those teams that have won it, they all have an attacker that can deliver the least 20 goals per season, so if arsenal don't fix that, and they let it lingers into this new season, I believe that they might suffer the same faith as last season which they won nothing with the kind of talent they have in the team.

[Inwestour]

There are no positions in a team that are not important when a team wants to become a champion. You can have the best forwards, but if the defense does not work well in some matches, then all efforts will not lead to the desired result. In fact, if you are talking about statistics, then Arsenal were the best in this regard last season, but as we can see, this did not help them become champions. When you are going to compete with the best teams, then in order to become a champion you need to become better than them, better than City, and I do not know what should happen for Arsenal to be able to become better than City.

[Majestic-milf]

 With all the crazy signings Chelsea has been making since the transfer window opened, for me Pedro Neto is the best when you compare him with those 16-17 and above youngsters the Blues have been known to favor. The 24 yr old Portuguese winger was not without his share of injuries at his time at Wolves but despite this setback, he's still a very good player but my fear is won't this his injury prone nature affect his performance at the club? He was heard saying that he aims to lift Chelsea back to the top and for me those are strong words coming from someone like him because the club needs a thorough renewal and one player can't just do the magic cause it can be very exhausting.
 I will have to remind Neto to be careful with how he is eager to begin because that was how the coach Enzo Maresca was quick to claim that he'd lift the team to a standard where they can beat the likes of Man City and Arsenal and we're seeing how that's going for him, with the poor defense he has I still don't think the team is ready in that position, he should work more to get a better defender to lead the defense line, Enzo Maresca can still o something.

Arteta has forgotten that he is dealing with the best tactician in the premier league, which is pep Guardiola. And when you are up against the best, you have to operate in his standard or even more than him. Guardiola when he came to the premier league he had Aguero and he was scoring for him good goals, as Aguero aged on and wasn't producing much goals anymore, he was sold and Gabriel Jesus was leading the front line, but a time came when Pep Guardiola realized that Gabriel Jesus was missed chances was more than his converting rate, he was sold and Haaland was brought in. Guardiola understands the demand of the premier league that without a world class striker it will be difficult to win the league. My question is why is Arsenal not going for Victor Osimhen? They are busy recruiting players in areas they are solid and neglecting where they are lacking the most.

[mammusu]

Each line in the squad certainly has its own role in strengthening a team so we cannot say that the attack line is more important than the defense line, but if we look at Arsenal performance and squad last season, it looked perfect in every line but actually their still had shortcomings in center forward sector, although overall their attack line is the second sharpest after Manchester City, what Arsenal fans and legends continue to criticized  about the lack of a center forward must of course be a reference for Arteta in seeing what their team needs to next season, right now the transfer market is still open and there are still lots of great strikers available that they can recruit and i think they must be able to make good use of it, especially now  reported that Nketiah is also heading for the exit from the Emirates, so Arsenal must move quickly to be able to cover the gap left by Nketiah departure later.

[SmartCharpa]

Arsenal scored a lot of goals last season, but they were unable to maintain it throughout the season. At the start of the season, Arsenal defeated several of their opponents by 5 to 6 goals, but as the season came to an end, Arsenal couldn't score as many as they did against some opponents. In my opinion, the striker isn't only the player Arsenal needs for next season, they need more defenders who can prevent their opponents from scoring goals, Arsenal defenders were weak toward the end of the season, I remember them being weak and failing to compete with Manchester City when the season ended. Arsenal scored a lot of goals last season, but they couldn't win a title. Arsenal led Manchester City by a goal differential, but as the season went on, Manchester City finished with the same number of goals as Arsenal.

However, if Arsenal wants to win the Premier League next season, they must sign a striker who can score as many goals as Haaland, they do not currently have a striker capable of scoring 20 goals in the Premier League. Last season, Jesus scored four goals in 27 appearances while Kai Havertz scored thirteen in 37 for Arsenal. I believe that if Arsenal can find a striker capable of scoring 20 goals per season, they will win the championship they were unable to win for many years.

Under Guardiola Manchester City can conquer premier league for years so they always being an the favourite for each season besides that although Manchester City hasn't bought more players this summer but their current squad is very solid and new player too Savinho looks promising because his debut match at Manchester derby on Community Shield also run well even Guardiola has very satisfied with Savinho performance

You may to look at the odds who is the most favourite champion of season 2024/2025 and apparently the odds looks not so different compared to last season with Manchester City as the first favourite and Arsenal in the second place so here is the odds list below

[Gallar]

Arteta has forgotten that he is dealing with the best tactician in the premier league, which is pep Guardiola. And when you are up against the best, you have to operate in his standard or even more than him. Guardiola when he came to the premier league he had Aguero and he was scoring for him good goals, as Aguero aged on and wasn't producing much goals anymore, he was sold and Gabriel Jesus was leading the front line, but a time came when Pep Guardiola realized that Gabriel Jesus was missed chances was more than his converting rate, he was sold and Haaland was brought in. Guardiola understands the demand of the premier league that without a world class striker it will be difficult to win the league. My question is why is Arsenal not going for Victor Osimhen? They are busy recruiting players in areas they are solid and neglecting where they are lacking the most.

Yes, I agree with you that Arteta has to be really careful in every factor to be able to bring Arsenal ahead of Manchester City. Because as we know, Manchester City has a very great squad and coach. So to deal with this, Arteta cannot just rely on strategy or tactics to bring Arsenal ahead of Manchester City next season. However, Arsenal really needs to look for a sharper striker, because Arsenal's front line currently looks less consistent in terms of performance. However, until now it seems that Arsenal have not been seen buying any strikers, what I know is that currently Arsenal is buying more defenders. The reason is, Arsenal is now proven to have bought 3 defenders and 1 new goalkeeper in this transfer market.

So if you look at the transfer record, Arsenal doesn't seem to care too much about their front line. Maybe Arteta feels strong about the forward players that Arsenal currently has. I also can't say that Arsenal's current forward players are weak, but their only weakness is their lack of consistent performance. Because this season I have seen Arsenal's performance and the result is that Arsenal's front line players cannot maintain consistent performance well. So, if for example Arsenal brought in Osimhen in their front line, maybe Arsenal could be sharper next season. However, it seems that Arsenal's biggest obstacle is only from a financial perspective. Because currently Arsenal is very interested in bringing in Osimhen, but because Osimhen's price is quite expensive, this is an obstacle that makes it difficult for Arsenal to bring in Osimhen.
