Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

With the new Chelsea board and management, I feel like I can not bet on Chelsea to win and lose at the same time. Chelsea is likely to struggle in many games this season, and I can’t afford to bet on them losing. Every team seems to be chasing a better version of Guardiola, but Chelsea doesn’t measure up mentally or tactically. I didn’t see any new patterns of play today in fact, the style they played today was disappointing and made little sense.

It's good for Arsenal to start the season with a win. The harmony between Saka and Havertz is very good. Raya made a very important save when the score was 1-0. Arsenal finished the match with a clean sheet. There are positives against Wolves, we will see what will happen against stronger opponents. There is a more difficult match next week, against Aston Villa. Liverpool and Manchester City also started with win. The competition will be exciting again.

Arsenal usually start the season well and in high spirit but along the line, they become overwhelmed. Last season was their golden opportunity to lift the EPL trophy but we saw how they allowed Man City came from behind to snatch it from them. Therefore, I'm not raising my expectations this season even though it is exciting seeing the beautiful performance they showcased yesterday. I will only wish things are different for them this season because they have really tried to remain in top 4 almost every season yet no major trophy.

Their performance is sometimes unpredictable where they can be good and immediately play bad at a time but indeed this usually starts in the middle of the season.

This has always been a problem that Arsenal have always had in the last few seasons and until now Arteta still hasn't been able to fix it, now they are still one of the favorites but with so many schedules in close proximity it has also backfired for Arsenal which in the end their performance has decreased over time.
In addition, the mental problems of the players also need to be considered because this can be disturbing for Arsenal. Last season, we could even see that their own fans made fun of their players where Havertz was always the butt of jokes for fans because he could not make a good contribution. This actually increasingly has an impact on performance where when Arteta wants to give this player more opportunities to make his performance change, it must be broken with negative words from his own fans.
This must be improved a little more because after all, when they want the best, as much as possible they support the decisions of the coach and the club so that the results become one continuity so that the players are also not too burdened with great pressure.

The team's board have to make more arrangements because they've to trigger improvement in the club. This season would be one of the trembling season for the Blues. They're completely out of line because they can't even possibly net a clean goal at home today against Manchester City. This is precisely one of the big games and test for Enzo Maresca but he failed woefully. The Blues have to maintain brilliant performances because they just have to get back on their heel.

Chelsea were far from their desired expectations due to changes in management and also a change in coaching it was hoped that they could show a better performance this season, but in today's match they lost again and it was a bad start for them this season. Tood Boehly has of course spent a lot of money in overhauling the team with the recruitment they have done but it was in vain because there was no good development in their game.
I discouraged my intention to bet on Chelsea because I thought the match they played would be very difficult to predict and the result was that they lost and that's what happened.
If you look at their poor pace, of course it will be very difficult for them to achieve their target this season, namely qualifying for the Champions League.

[Zaguru12]

In terms of statistics, they are not too different from Manchester City, but there are several things that make them lose in this match, such as when their defense cannot read the movement without the ball from Manchester City and of course finishing is still not too good to date.
An empty 2 score where one of the goals was scored by a former player himself looks a little painful actually but indeed in this case I don't feel strange if Chelsea lost the big match this time because it is certain that Manchester City is clearly the favorite from the start.

But of course there is a little hope for Enzo Maresca when he can slightly overshadow Manchester City's performance even though they can't get points but they must realize that their performance is still lagging behind if the goal is to be better than the previous season which means this they must continue to improve their performance to be even better.

Yes the stats shows how they were able to hold onto possession most at times even way better than Manchester city but this is certainly not new because last season we saw the same thing between this two. Chelsea to me are usually very serious against Manchester city just like last season but as usual they lack the same things they lacked last season which is lack of a clinical striker to help kill the game before it even started, Jackson was just simply doing tricks and no end product. Another major Chelsea problem is the lack of creativity in the midfield, the combination of Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo simple adds just energy to the midfield and not creativity which I think moving Palmer there could help solve because Enzo isn’t that flexible to play there

Changing of coach is going to tell a lot on them and they are going to see the effect soonest, maybe they were thinking the previous wasn't doing enough to get them what they wanted and untill they see how the team will be struggling again to adjust to the new strategy and tactics they are introduced to them they will understand the importance of the coach who they sacked thinking he wasn't doing enough when he was already at the brink of reviving the team back to winning ways and hopefully they would see a chance at the premier League title sometimes soon but then let's give them some more time and see how well they will do after now.

I think Chelsea can improve and come up with better performances if they can work on their weaknesses. I watched the game from the first minute till final whistle and if you ask me, I think it was an end to end stuff from both sides but Manchester City were able to convert their own chances while Chelsea failed to do same. Enzo Maresca in his first game of the season faced the league champions so I wasn't expecting anything better than what we saw. I believe Chelsea can challenge for trophies with Maresca if the club continues to offer their support to the former Leicester City manager

In my opinion, Chelsea did not play too badly today and that's probably because Manchester City didn't play excellently. Manchester City were without Rodri and it showed. They missed him.
Chelsea on the other hand did a couple of things right but couldn't score. How does a club spend over 1.3 billion and still have a player like Nicolas Jackson as their main striker? He was part of the reason they didn't score in the first half. The backup striker of this team is an academy graduate from Barcelona who was not good enough to replace an ageing Lewandoski.

Also, why did the coach have to play Enzo Fernandes as a no 10? Isn't he supposed to be a deep-laying midfielder? Since when did Enzo become a creative or attacking midfielder?
I know it's just the first game, but these are things that a coach should have known since.
Jackson shouldn't have started the second half, Enzo should have been taken off and Palmer should have taken the number 10 role. Pedro Neto should have come in to take over the right wing.
Well, it's just the first game, let's watch and see if Chelsea can get better.

Todd Boehly doesn’t look like he knows what he is doing. Most of the problems the club is facing could have been avoided if Todd Boehly allowed the managers to sign the players they wanted. I sincerely miss the Roman Abramovich - Chelsea era where mediocrity was never tolerated. Chelsea is not a club known for its patience, it’s in their DNA to win…at least it used to be. I’m impressed with how well Chelsea fans are taking the loss to Manchester City, it’s as if they have ruled out the possibility of ever winning this Pep’s side in the EPL.

Simply put, Chelsea didn't play badly today but the opponents they faced were too strong. If Chelsea were to face a mediocre team, it seems that with the performance shown, they could easily secure full points, but once again Manchester City are still too strong to beat. In my opinion, Enzo Maresca really needs a striker of better quality than Nicolas Jackson, he is still too far away if he is expected to be the next Drogba. In addition, Enzo Maresca also seems to need to experiment more with his midfield, as you said Cole Palmer seems suitable to fill the position occupied by Enzo Fernandes.

Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca will definitely get a lot of criticism in the future if he fails to secure full points again, and many people will regret Pochettino dismissal. In addition, Manchester City still showed their identity as the rulers of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory, it makes sense when many assume that Pep Guardiola squad will continue to dominate in the future. In fact, it is very difficult to overcome Pep Guardiola tactics, even though they have worked with him in the past. Enzo Maresca and his squad must quickly forget this defeat, and think about how to win in the next match against Servette in the Europa Conference League.

I thought Chelsea would at least give us a more interesting game and give Manchester City a tough one for their time but unfortunately the visitors beat them in their own home field. This is just the new season and Chelsea are with a new coach which he’s suppose to show how good he is in this first match while playing with a big team, it’ll increase his prestige in the eyes of other coaches and also the team’s management. I don’t know how Chelsea are going to farewell in other matches but I’ll have to wait to see how they play before one can start making more assumptions or conclusion on how the Chelsea team is going to be this season.

The winning tonight shouldn't come to you as a surprise because it was bound to happen as every other factor supported it. From the records, Manchester City have always won Chelsea for several years now and the last time Chelsea won them was in 2021 during the Champions League encounter. Maybe it was the Champions League defeat that infuriated Manchester City that made them play Chelsea with anger as a way of revenge. Chelsea have to do better this season if they have the hope of qualifying for any of the European competitions next season.

I'm sure many people are favorites for Manchester City to win against Chelsea and I'm also sure many people are betting on Manchester City winning and I personally also bet on Manchester City winning and my guess is also correct that Haaland score a goal.

now Manchester City in its first match in the EPL has shown its good quality and Pep is really serious about being able to win Chelsea and now Manchester City has managed to win the match and has won 3 points of course this is a good start for Manchester City and of course it is certain for the match Next, Manchester City will definitely appear confident against Ipswich because Ipswich in its first match in the EPL this season against Liverpool, Ipswich lost with a score of 0-2 and I am also sure that against Manchester City, Manchester City will have great potential to win against Ipswich.

but I hope that Pep can continue to make Manchester City better and look after his players so that no one gets injured, especially key players like De Bruyne and Haaland and I am sure that if De Bruyne and Haaland are injured it will definitely have the potential to make Manchester City's performance decline.

I am also disappointed by Chelsea that how they played against Manchester City. Their new coach had chance to show how good he is but they lost at home which is really bad for them and this is disappointing moment for fans too. This is problem because teams need to do well at home in Premier League. But here is one more thing that we should not judge them yet. New coach and team need time to work together and figure things out. Let's wait and see how they do in their next games before deciding how their season will go. And I hope they will do well in future.

This is precisely one of the big games and test for Enzo Maresca but he failed woefully. The Blues have to maintain brilliant performances because they just have to get back on their heel.

Manchester City managed to spoil Enzo Maresca debut as Chelsea manager following Pochettino sacking, goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic were enough for Manchester City to claim victory at Stamford Bridge. This match was not easy for Maresca, he led his team against the defending champions. Although Chelsea played at their home ground, they were unable to match the strength of Guardiola troops. Yes, Enzo Maresca failed to bring Chelsea to victory in the first match, but it is still early in the season, Maresca still has plenty of time to improve Chelsea performance so they can achieve victory.

This ain't the Chelsea we know. Big money, big names, and we're getting schooled by the likes of West Ham. Enzo as a 10? Jackson leading the line?  Pochettino's got some explaining to do. But hey, this is Chelsea. We've been down before, and we've come back swinging. Remember that Champions League final? Nobody gave us a chance, and we shocked the world

Football's not played on spreadsheets. It's guts, it's passion, it's 11 guys on the pitch leaving it all out there. We've got a right to be pissed, but let's not write the season off yet. Pochettino's got to figure this out, and fast. Chelsea needs goals and needs wins

Playing against Manchester City in Premier League is not easy for all clubs even a big club like Chelsea. Chelsea are in their crisis that seems to be resolved partially in late of last season but from it, they actually need a significant time to come back as a title competitor. Meeting Manchester City in a first match of season, with a new coach is another big challenge for Chelsea.

In contrast Manchester City have been familiar with Pep Guardiola as their head coach for many years and this win for Manchester City is predictable. After a first match day, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Arsenal all have three points and they are sharing top positions of the league. Their good beginnings make the title competition more exciting.

[Popkon6]

Manchester City have had another strong start to the pre-season and are looking to perform even better in the new season, but Haaland is likely to set another new record at the moment. Because Haaland has a goal contribution in almost every match, he has a goal contribution early in this match. The Chelsea team subsequently performed much better after halftime, and had 10 shots on goal, compared to 11 by Manchester City. 

Here, Manchester City succeeded in two attacks, but the Chelsea team did not succeed, and the Chelsea team had to lose 0-2 in the last minute. However, the Manchester City team has more experienced strikers than the Chelsea team because they were able to finish the ball at the last moment, but even though the Chelsea team players had the opportunity, they missed the opportunity and failed at the last moment.

Yeah I have to admit this is beyond expectations, at first I thought Chelsea would play their best because they were playing at home but unfortunately no, they didn't even score a goal and Manchester City are still the same as last season as a formidable team. But yeah we still give Chelsea a chance we can't conclude anything from just one match especially since their opponents are the strongest team in the Premier League that means we have to look at the next few games.

Today we still have one match between Leicester City vs Tottenham, for now we can't predict Leicester's strength because they are a promoted team this season while Tottenham seem to be the same as last season but there is a slight improvement in the attack and midfield and it was worth waiting for. Will Leicester City have a surprise like 2016?

Well many in the new Chelsea management thought maybe they would change their game a lot but they didn't change their game that much. Many were not ready to bet against Manchester City and they knew they would definitely lose if they bet on Chelsea. But if you were to bet Manchester City would definitely win, their style of play has improved and the carmaker continues to play a significant role. Of course manchester city have improved their game and they are trying hard enough to win the title again in premier league, but chelsea team played a very disappointing game, but i also think they need to improve their game or else they will lose the next matches.
