Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Antotena]

Leicester City back in the English Premier League and they're coming back stronger than never. Leicester City will have to make solid plans if they're keen on securing formidable ground in the EPL this season. On the other hand, the Spurs will be bringing up surprising results. Ange Postecoglou have no make any potential changes in Tottenham Hotspur based on their current performance. It's been nothing but thrilling for them.

I'm really happy for Leicester City, I couldn't believe they would be able to pin down Tottenham but it seems they have understood the advantage of been at home and in sure they must have learnt that from their last Championship they won which qualified them to Premier League this season but this celebration is too early, a time will come when every corner of this league will be tough, that's the moment I want to see how potential they can be.

Tottenham fell my hand, how can they played Leicester City with 70% ball possession and couldn't win, they had more short on target, 7 to 1 and more shorts but they couldn't win Leicester City. This is going to be another season to remember and I hope Arsenal can show this serious like the end of the season and I'm begin to be certain if Leicester wouldn't end up in relegation.

Tottenham played very well in this match but Leicester also defended very well and even they can get 1 point with minimal possession where they always surprise for some opportunities on the counterattack.
To be honest, this is a score that I think is quite appropriate because after all, with what happened yesterday we can see how persistent Leicester defended 1 point especially after Jamie Vardy scored the equalizer.

Tottenham did play very well also in this match because indeed their goal was 3 points just seeing from Leicester's resistance with their enormous enthusiasm in the end Tottenham were unable to do much and had to be willing to lose full points in the match in their first match.

You are talking about the top 4 ranks and I think you are expecting to see Chelsea in the top side of the table in this season while other teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Manchester United but better situations than this team and compared to these teams, they can have much better performance than Chelsea.
I think since they have Todd in Chelsea managing everything, they can't get improved at all.
  

Seriously I also don’t see  Chelsea going higher than where they were last season. The club actually played a good game against Manchester city. The goals which is the most important thing in the game of football was what Manchester city had. Chelsea as usual or just like last season controlled the game but without a clinical striker just yet, they missed chances that would Have set Chelsea on the track to win the game. Fans will say it’s just the first game but I will say with way Chelsea played meant that without a proper striker they would be playing just like last season without results.

The other problem i think will arise at Chelsea this season is there midfield combination, with Gallagher gone and the arrival or return of Lavia back from injury will provide the coach more options which I think he got wrong in the game. First is I don’t think Enzo and this guys will work, against Manchester city, Enzo played as a No 10 which didn’t work. The pairing needs to be reduced to just two and an attacking midfielder is added, base on the current players in the club Cole Palmer as a 10 will be ok for me and then caicedo and Lavia playing a double pivot to help shield the defense

A good start for Leicester, and a fair result for both teams who both want to get full points in the first match. Tottenham actually dominated possession, and had many opportunities to score goals, but unfortunately they were not lucky enough. In addition, Leicester displayed their typical game, defending and counterattacking, they were quite lucky because they were able to make the match end in a draw. When I saw Jamie Vardy score a goal, it reminded me of what he did in the 2015-2016 season.

In essence, Tottenham must improve in the future to perform better, especially in terms of converting opportunities into goals, I think Ange Postecoglou understands this very well. Meanwhile, Leicester, we know that the magical season is difficult to repeat, and although it is not impossible, their success in securing 1 point indicates that they are really ready to compete in the Premier League. Leicester most realistic target is to try not to be relegated again, even though Enzo Maresca has now moved to Chelsea. Luckily, Leicester still have Jamie Vardy in the squad, who can be an example for other players to continue working hard to achieve their dreams.

If their players can stay fit and not get injured I believe they might do better than they did last season but not by much. The problem with Chelsea if they don't know how to solve their problem. Against Manchester City, they had 2 big problems for 90 minutes. One was creating chances while the other was Scoring the few chances they created. Now seeing these problems, how did Chelsea react? They went to sign Jaoa Felix. How exactly is that going to solve anything? Felix is a very inconsistent player. Don't let his highlight fool you. He is more of a moment of magic kind of player. He will do things that will make you think he's kaka one minute, but for the rest of the games, he will be awful till another moment of magic comes up again.

Well, I think they're about the complete the Osimhen and Lukaku transfer with Napoli, if they works out then Chelsea will be getting a good striker. He may not be as technical as the strikers above him but he will fit into this Chelsea team quite well.

This season might be the season that we'll see some disappointing performance from Cole Palmer, although the game against Manchester City was the first game but it seems like this man Enzo Maresca is not really giving Palmer the position he needed to excel in the game, the fans wasn't impressed with how slow he was in that game against City and to be honest Enzo Maresca is some how killing the team with lack of understanding of the players positions, he doesn't know what to do when he's under pressure and because of that the sub he makes ain't suppose to be.

It seems Palmer needs more time to adapt to the new mechanism. Palmer was isolated in the last game when he played as a right winger, and i'd prefer to see him play at Enzo F's position. This is because Enzo F looked so garbage, and i think he shall be untouchable this season. Every time Enzo F plays, we rarely get a positive result.
Or there's also an alternative option to replace Enzo with Nkuku to play as CAM. Maresca made some adjustments to replace Enzo with Palmer/Nkuku. That will solve their problem.

This is the time to blow the minds of the fans but the coach is  the obstacle behind Chelsea's success, without letting the key players do their thing then I don't see the Blues doing well, he should let Cole Palmer be at the middle of the game because you already have Nkunku running from the wing, to say the truth about Palmer, he's not going to be as sharp as he was last season.

The new system still looked unfamiliar to key players like Palmer. I think he can do better in the upcoming games. And as long as we put Palmer/Nkuku at CAM, then get rid of Enzo from the lineup, i'm fine about that. And again, i have the same thought as you about Palmer's productivity this season.
I don't expect him to score more than 20 goals like last season.

Cut..

Yes I also think draw was fair result for both Leicester and Tottenham. Tottenham controlled game and had many chances to score but they did not get lucky. Leicester played their usual game defending well and counterattacking quickly. They were lucky to get draw I really appreciate Jamie Vardy great goal.

Tottenham needs to improve their goal scoring to reach their full potential. Leicester main goal is to avoid being relegated. With Jamie Vardy leading by example they have good foundation to build on. And you are right it is hard to repeat their amazing season from 2015-2016 but getting point in the first game shows they are ready to compete in the Premier League.

Or there's also an alternative option to replace Enzo with Nkuku to play as CAM. Maresca made some adjustments to replace Enzo with Palmer/Nkuku. That will solve their problem.

The thing about this coach is that he hasn't gotten his first eleven and he has not found out how to use these players to play at a position that will bring out their best. How can Palmer be playing from the wing knowing fully well that this is the engine room of Chelsea last season? You make Cole the main man of distributing the balls the the careless attacker they have Jackson but he (Cole Palmer) was pushed aside to seek for the action of the game, I hope the next game Enzo Maresca will make a change on that aspect.
And besides these two guys are not even doing well playing together, Enzo and Caicedo, the connection is not there. They don't play like they understand the game, non of them is dropping to make that final challenge on the opponent, they allow players to run through the before they wake up and start tracking back which is very poor to me, so these guys don't need to start at ones.

And again, i have the same thought as you about Palmer's productivity this season.
I don't expect him to score more than 20 goals like last season.

We should keep the goal scoring aside, let's look at his performance this season, I think he'll be a bit slow with the way he handles the game like a complete new player, that's the thing with some players and their first season of wonders. I wish it never happens because I so much love how he carries the team on his shoulder and pushing them to a different style of play but if he doesn't do those things it affects the whole team which means he's the heart of the team. I don't want to see it as Enzo doesn't know how to make use of this guy Palmer, well the next game will tell.

Foden became the PFA's best player for 2023/2024, Foden beat Haaland. I also feel Foden deserves to be there, his performance is very good. Foden's victory is good news for Man City because for 5 years 4 Man City players have won the PFA event. Last year Haaland won. Foden has also been selected as the best young player 2 times.

Meanwhile, for the best version of the PFA team, Man City and Arsenal players dominate 11 main players. Perhaps it is not surprising for the 11-man squad dominated by Man City and Arsenal players as they are in 1st and 2nd place at the end of the competition.

The 3 EPL promotion clubs Leicester, Southampton, and Ipswich all did not get 3 points. Only Leicester City was able to get 1 point. Of course, Leicester is indeed a team that has better players, they are able to keep up with Tottenham. Meanwhile, Ipswich they had to lose because they were against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Sothampton lost to the rich club Newcastle. This result is certainly not a picture of 1 season but I hope these 3 promoted teams are able to compete to work hard to stay in the EPL.

They need to adapt and balance all the strengths of the clubs in the Premier League if they want to survive and it is not easy because the competition in the EPL is very tight at least they can survive in the middle of the board to be safe from the relegation zone over time they start to get used to the atmosphere in this league, for Leicester City I think this club has the ability to continue to survive because they were previously also a fairly respected club in the Premier League and have won titles here, last season Leicester City was also the club ranked 1 in the Championship which was promoted.
I think he will continue to survive if he does not experience a large point deduction penalty like Everton last season because I saw the latest news about this club committing FFP violations.

The front lines need to be evaluated by the coach because I see that there are many opportunities that are missed by them, the match looks fair for Leicester City ending in a draw but for Tottenham it is very unfavorable.
In addition to surviving well we also need to give appreciation to their goalkeeper.
Jamie Vardy is still a mainstay for the coach because he plays well when facing Tottenham.

Fatawu became the most prominent player in the match because he played pretty well.
Tottenham is very disadvantaged by the results of the match because if you pay attention to them are far more dominant and there must be more than two goals they should have created.

Foden's victory is good news for Man City because for 5 years 4 Man City players have won the PFA event. Last year Haaland won. Foden has also been selected as the best young player 2 times.

Foden really deserve this trophy, he's too underrated.

Manchester City only need to find a reliable left winger, there are Grealish, Doku and Savio, but all of them aren't perform.

Unfortunately Foden is really inconsistent, I doubt that he can perform like the last year.

They need to adapt and balance all the strengths of the clubs in the Premier League if they want to survive and it is not easy because the competition in the EPL is very tight at least they can survive in the middle of the board to be safe from the relegation zone over time they start to get used to the atmosphere in this league, for Leicester City I think this club has the ability to continue to survive because they were previously also a fairly respected club in the Premier League and have won titles here, last season Leicester City was also the club ranked 1 in the Championship which was promoted.

They can adapt if they have a good financial.

The level between Premier League and Championship is really far, the best team and best player in Championship mostly flop when they play in Premier League, but B class player in Premier League can destroy all Championship teams.

If Championship players want to compete against Premier League, they should move to La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga instead of getting promoted.

Leicester and Southampton were previously relegated because they were unable to compete. and this season they returned to the Premier League. a good opportunity but it must also be balanced with hard work to be able to compete. we know that in terms of the quality of the players in their team, it will be difficult to compete with strong teams with better players.

it is still very early to judge the newly promoted teams. but we can see a team like Nottingham who was promoted to the Premier League in the 2022-2023 season. they were able to survive in the Premier League even though they had to stay at the bottom of the standings. it is not easy for a newly promoted team to compete in the Premier League. but some teams have shown they are capable, it is not impossible that the teams that were promoted this season should also be able to.

In first week of matches has been completed and shows how each top team achieved their first victory, this will be very exciting start to the Premier League competition.
I know for the second week it is still very clear that Manchester City, Arsenal and also Liverpool are top team that can always be relied on by everyone, they will only face team that are far below their performance level and victory is clearly guaranteed.
This time I interested in Manchester United who will meet Brighton away, I curious whether Ten Hag and his players will be able to win and save full points like in their previous first match.
Bookie shows the odds between the two are only slightly different, they still have number more than @ 2.00 and this is fairly good number but difficult to choose.
