Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Amphenomenon]

I don't like to guess who can start well before the season starts, in friendly games I would give my preference to Liverpool at the beginning of the season, City and Arsenal will also be in the lead, so there should be no surprises here. But we will find out a little later, preferably after the 5th - 10th round, and for now we will watch how the Red Devils play their first match against Fulham at home today.

This is true sometimes even for the next 4 games some mid table might just still remain on the top 4 though this often thanks to their fixtures.
I think Manchester united will be coming out victorious against Fulham to have a good impression of the season, they have to after how much they have spent to improve the squad but I guessed  i saw something online about Ten Hag speaking of the fact that the team haven't really settled for the EPL after new signings and injuries.

For Ten Hag this season will be very important, we can say that for him this is the last chance to keep his place as coach, I don't know what tasks are ahead of him, but I think the minimum task is the Champions League zone, and the maximum is most likely victory in the Premier League and the Europa League (possibly also the FA Cup). Manchester United again spent a lot of money on transfers, it seems that ten Hag is doing everything right, so something can come of it. Today we need to beat Fulham, I think ten Hag does not expect anything less.

I think Ten Hag will be the top coach having pressure of doing well this season from the fact that he as to start well and still remain in good position even after this year ending and after the January transfer window to still remain coach of Manchester United while also having the pressure of getting a trophy since he has won a trophy each these 2 past season and making it to the champions league.

I don't think NU FC will meet Southampton who have just returned to the EPL, of course they will try hard not to fall back into the relegation realm, and I Southampton will surprise NUFC even though they will visit NUFC's headquarters, in this case it is not impossible because Southampton has a new style and of course new performance so it is difficult for NU FC to conquer them.

but on the other hand with the Man United match against Fulham at the opponent's home I think this will be an easy start for the red devils not because the other Man United currently has a new aura with big names their demands are very high this season so I think they will take advantage of this match by successfully getting three points early on.

I think City will have a little difficulty with what happened in the pre-season with Chelsea's defeat I think their new coach will evaluate in such a way that this match becomes interesting, and I think City can bring victory but it will be difficult for them, visiting Chelsea's headquarters is indeed not easy but I am still sure City will win even though it is a little difficult for them.

In the early season matches it is quite difficult to make predictions because we have not seen the real strength of the team and in my opinion what is seen in friendly matches cannot be used as a reference.

Man United may be slightly favored because they will play at home but I think Fulham also cannot be underestimated and as I said earlier that in the early season matches we cannot measure the strength of the teams so it is also possible for surprises to occur especially now that many of the Man United squad are injured.

Nothing is easy indeed but if you can see realistically that City's strength is better than Chelsea but this is a match between two top Premier League teams which makes the match will run with high tension because the prestige of both top teams of course wants to seize maximum results but it seems I have the same confidence as you that Man City will be able to overcome Chelsea's resistance in the first PL match this season.

If we look at the squad that Manchester United currently has, we should be a little more confident that Ten Hag's team can beat Fulham. Even though in the last meeting Manchester United lost to Fulham, this cannot be used as an absolute benchmark that Manchester United will lose again. Moreover, currently Manchester United has strengthened its team by bringing in several new players. So you can be sure that with the new players that Manchester United has, the match against Fulham will certainly not be too difficult. Although, the bad thing that is happening to Manchester United at the moment is that their mainstay striker, Rasmus Hojlund, is suffering from a hamstring injury. So it is certain that Rasmus Hojlund will definitely miss the first match against Fulham. But even so, the possibility of Manchester United winning this match is still large. The reason is, currently Manchester United already has a new striker, namely Joshua Zirkzee, who is certain to be the sharp spearhead. So even though in the pre-season match Manchester United played with an uncertain strategy, this match against Fulham is not a pre-season match. So it is certain that Manchester United's performance will be different in this match. And I would personally bet on Manchester United in this match.

I don't dare say that Man United will perform impressively in their first match in the Premier League but, one thing I see is that Man United is taking its progress quite seriously so far, and I think that can be a good foundation for them to move forward. The match against Fulham is quite crucial, not only as a means of proof of all the changes that Man United has made but, it will also have a big impact on the morale of the Man United players.

To be honest, at this time I don't dare to hope that Manchester United will be able to surprise us next season, although currently they have tried to improve the weaknesses that existed last season, but we also cannot deny that last season if techniques and strategies game were implemented by ten hag is very bad, in fact they often lose points when the match is almost over because the bad game scheme implemented by ten hag for securing victory actually become blunders, in fact the quality of players recruited by ten hag this season is no better than last season and for ten hag Still coaching Manchester United, of course there is no hope for us to see them win the Premier League because Ten Hag coaching has been so bad so far.
However, that's just my view and maybe I'm wrong with my opinion, because apart from that opinion, I actually hope that Manchester United can return to being a strong team in the English league like their  glory era previously.

Manchester United and Manchester City competed hard against each other in this match and the result of the match was a draw at full time so it was decided by penalty shootout where Manchester City won the tournament by just one goal going into the second leg. In this match, Manchester United proved that they will return to the English Premier League in a new form next season, because Manchester United is always a stronger team than Manchester United, and Manchester United has a tough competition against that stronger team. 
Best of luck to Manchester United.

Although it is known as a friendly match but the match has turned into a highly competitive match whenever Manchester United and Manchester City are involved. Both teams had very strong squads and battled to the very end. Although Manchester City were far behind as they managed to equalize at the last minute, but in this case Manchester United were very aggressive from the start and the defenders worked hard. 

However, the match went to penalties which turned into one of the toughest games of the season and Manchester United missed more penalties. And in the end Manchester United were defeated by the team where the spectators were most nervous, as the gallery was excited all the time which team would win.

[SmartCharpa]

And, hopefully, we'll see some new names appear in the starting lineup of Manchester United. I think it would be great to have Zirkzee in the starting lineup; however, I'm not sure if he can perform. I've read he is being managed for fitness, and also, with Hojlund out for six weeks, we go into the game without a striker. And my prediction is it could be a sloppy 1-0 or 1-1.

And again, I'd prefer to start Garnacho over Rashford in the game against Fulham on the LW. It's because Rashford was so poor in the pre-season games. But, Rashford could also be an alternative striker because we don't have any atm.

I expect to see new faces in Manchester United starting lineup today because Hojlund and Yoro were injured during the pre-season game, Ten Hag may choose to put De Ligt in defensive midfield to improve their performance, I don't think Zirkzee will make his Manchester United debut against Fulham since Ten Hags has said that he is close, so I believe Zirkzee will be unavailable in their Premier League opening game. However, I think Manchester United will play today's game without a striker because Rashford performed poorly in the pre-season games, they may use him as a striker because he cannot start when Garnacho is available.

And, if Ten Hag cannot start Rashford as a striker against Fulham, then he should use the method he used against Manchester City in the Community Shield, with Bruno as the striker. I believe this will work because Fulham is not as strong as Manchester City.

Man United may be slightly favored because they will play at home but I think Fulham also cannot be underestimated and as I said earlier that in the early season matches we cannot measure the strength of the teams so it is also possible for surprises to occur especially now that many of the Man United squad are injured.

Because this is the opening match everyone wants Man United to control the game and successfully bring home 3 points. On paper Man United should have been able to win the match easily, but remember this is a different Man United and in the hands of coach Ten Hag so all expectations attached to Man United are no longer valid. As a result I can still favor Fulham, because Man United losing to a small team is no longer a surprise. This club still needs to improve in terms of player recruitment and management.

It lies in the strategy implemented so that we still have the same doubts. Even Erik Ten Hag has not been able to make players play at their best performance. I don't know for sure how his relationship with the players is, but what I see is that his relationship with the players is not very good so that might be an obstacle to the team's development. Because after all a team must have a harmonious relationship, not only between players but between players and coaches must also have a good relationship.
I am not without reason saying that his relationship with the players is not very good, from the way he blames the players after the match is over it could be a sign that he just wants to be respected and when something bad happens to the team he doesn't want to be blamed and prefers to blame the players. That is one of the reasons why I said his relationship with the players is not good.

This is a new season everything will be different, we can't remember what happened last season and we can see some changes that have occurred in the Manchester United squad to face the next season, it is indeed possible to make this team much better.
I think Fulham is not a strong opponent for Erik Ten Hag's troops, especially since they will play at home, I am quite optimistic that Manchester United can win this match.
I bet -1 for Manchester United to win the match with odds @1.99 I am quite sure about that.

[Hanadawa]

Full of breath to watch the opening game for the 2024/2025 English Premier League season. Manchester United versus Fulham in the first kickoff of the 2024/2025 EPL season. We expects more from this game and its definitely base on the new changes in style and also from these coaches end. We know how tough it's been for Erik Ten Hag, but he won't relent and have assured the fans that the new signings will be made available and ready for tomorrow game.

Manchester United have brought in some solid defenders in the transfer market this season. They managed to get Leny Yoro and De Ligt who will contribute greatly to their defense. United had a lot of problems in the defense sector last season. Unfortunately Leni Yoro is injured and will be out for 3 months. This is a big loss for Ten Hag because one of his key players is injured even before the league starts.

Due to his weight he is less susceptible to defenders attacks, he is more stable, but even then I think his weight is more or less acceptable, he has a very strong body and that is enough. As for age I think Napoli have nothing further than two or three years in their plans for both players, so Lukaku could be good for that period, why not? Perhaps it is in their line-up that he would fit in perfectly

I think Napoli and Conte want Lukaku to play with Napoli for two or three seasons. Lukaku is now 31 years old. This is not the ideal age for a footballer, especially for a striker. But Conte seems to really want Lukaku because they were successful at Inter Milan. It seems that Conte wants to be aggressive and improve Napoli's performance in the next one or two seasons.

[Lannakosa]

I expect to see new faces in Manchester United starting lineup today because Hojlund and Yoro were injured during the pre-season game, Ten Hag may choose to put De Ligt in defensive midfield to improve their performance, I don't think Zirkzee will make his Manchester United debut against Fulham since Ten Hags has said that he is close, so I believe Zirkzee will be unavailable in their Premier League opening game. However, I think Manchester United will play today's game without a striker because Rashford performed poorly in the pre-season games, they may use him as a striker because he cannot start when Garnacho is available.

And, if Ten Hag cannot start Rashford as a striker against Fulham, then he should use the method he used against Manchester City in the Community Shield, with Bruno as the striker. I believe this will work because Fulham is not as strong as Manchester City.

De Ligt may not be ready to play for Manchester United yet, but ten Hag definitely needs players who can strengthen their defence. As for Rashford, I think he will play because at the moment there are not many forwards to choose from, and it is important that this epidemic of injuries stops. Fulham are very tough opponents and can play well in defence, but I think they are more dangerous at home and in the away game I hope they do not take points from Manchester United.

As a result I can still favor Fulham, because Man United losing to a small team is no longer a surprise. This club still needs to improve in terms of player recruitment and management.

For the players that Manchester United already has, they are actually quite good and capable, but they only need the best ideas or tactics from their own coach so Ten Hag should be able to think about that now. Because Fulham is an opponent that Manchester United should be able to beat even though it is not easy because Fulham is also a team that has strength in the Premier League. So I just think that their match could be quite fierce in order to get three points at the start of this season.

Ciao Lannakosa,

I agree with you about ten Hag needing players to strengthen the defence for Manchester United. I hope Rashford will be able to play soon and help the team, we really need him. I'm not a big fan of Fulham, especially when they play against Manchester United, so I hope we can get all three points in the away game. So the red fury can be able to manage them

[Mr.right85]

I noticed something about Manchester City. They usually give their players extended breaks before the start of the season.

Maybe they are actually not extended breaks in the real sense of it. It's just that most of them apart from playing for Manchester City all represent and play internal parts in their national team setup.

And besides, the guys who are behind them in the pecking order can also do a good job and at least deliver good performances and results which allows them not put too much pressure on the "Big Boys"

Pep just confirmed that Rodri has not trained. John Stones, Walker and Foden have had just 3 training sessions.
Maybe that's why they usually start slow and then explode in the second half of the season.

They’ll be visiting Stamford Bridge on Sunday and Chelsea have a real chance to take something from the game if Rodri isn't playing.

[rendravolt]

There is a surprising fact that before the recruitment of Leny Yoro who went through a medical scan, he actually had a metatarsal problem.

What is a metatarsal? the long bone in the foot, which connects the ankle to the toes.

I think if there was a medical record like that, Manchester United should have postponed his recruitment and tried another defender alternative rather than regretting what happened to Leny Yoro who is currently injured. But Manchester United has indeed trusted him fully, but sometimes this is very risky if not handled properly. We know that Manchester United's medical staff is quite bad where many players are injured and have difficulty recovering. For example, Mount and Lisandro always experience recurring symptoms.

If Manchester United can not perform impressively while playing with Fulham, then this season will also still not be good for the club. Fulham is good in scoring so Manchester United need to impress us today by scoring. And we expect Manchester United to also win because it is a home match.

it is clear leny yoro is a failed recruit for manchester united, i understand this player is still young and has good potential, but it will be very detrimental to the club with the injury he is currently experiencing, i found some sources saying leny yoro will return to the field in november, that is a long time, honestly i am not sure his performance will be as good as before, seeing what he is experiencing now it can affect performance.

injury is a specter that can destroy a footballer's career, there have been many cases that have occurred, and if as you say is true, the medical staff at manchetser united is currently bad, there should be improvements from man united management for serious problems like this.

It's too early to to tip Man Utd for a win against Fulham based on the pedigree of the club, this is the first game for both club and a newly rejuvenated Fulham with some new  decent signings like Smith Rowe etc I am predicting a draw match because its a new season and a new team thus both clubs would play with caution and premier league is becoming more competitive with no more minnows unlike before if we should rate Man Utd with their performances in few seasons ago up till last season thus I don't expect a win against Fulham today thus the best bet should be a draw though the odds favours Man Utd based on home support at Old Trafford but to me it's today match that would be to rate Man Utd

[Leviathan.007]

Arsenal is getting ready for war. They are just completing their squad and they keep hiring players Artetaa needs and since we know this coach I think they will have a strong team in the next season.
Now they are close to hiring Mikel Merino the player of Real Sociedad. Arsenal is ready to pay 35 million euros for this player.
according to some sources, they will sign the contract in less than 48 hours.

[naira]

However, the match went to penalties which turned into one of the toughest games of the season and Manchester United missed more penalties. And in the end Manchester United were defeated by the team where the spectators were most nervous, as the gallery was excited all the time which team would win.

The worst penalty shootout in Manchester United history where the Manchester United goalkeeper tried to play Haaland mentality which had no effect at all. Onana actions were also criticized because of his intimidating attitude. It's funny Manchester United with their current squad which is known to have no vision and mission to play. Erik Ten Hag is still recruiting players from Ajax for the umpteenth time, since the beginning Erik Ten Hag's concept has never changed and insists on completing his 11 players from Ajax graduates, sooner or later it will definitely happen.

[Barcode_]

Fulham did managed to stay above from the relegation zone quite comfortably last season but most of the points they earned was mainly from home games and they do not have a very desirable away record. I think Manchester United should be able to claim a victory against Fulham in front of their home fans today in their opening match for this new English Premier League season.
