Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[royalfestus]

My concern with Maresca lies with the defense, particularly the full-backs, who seem to struggle with maintaining the right positions consistently. The second goal, for instance, resulted largely from Malo Gusto being out of position. I’m really hoping the coach’s plan starts to click soon, as the players are still missing it too often. Mudrik isn’t showing any improvement, and Caicedo also struggled in the match.

Brighton started the league well and yesterday they won against Manchester United with a last minute goal with a good game.Brighton will become a better team offensively after adding Ferdi Kadıoğlu to the team.We can say that Brighton is a team that can give difficulties to their opponents this season.
Totthenham defeated Everton at home.Totthenham managed to score exactly 4 goals at home and got their first win in week 2 of the league.We can already say that Everton will not get good results this season.

In fact, Brighton really did their best until the end of the match because after all, Brighton's second goal also happened in the injury time at 90+5. Thus, to beat Manchester United is also basically not easy at all but of course, with this victory also makes Brighton still managed to be in the position or in the top zone in the standings and of course,  it is also a good start for Brighton. At least, in the last few seasons Brighton has also managed to compete in the top zone or just in the middle of the standings but still, Brighton has managed to make good results in the last few seasons.

About Everton, I personally feel that even though Everton is a team that often loses and a team that concedes more goals,but Everton always has a good way to survive in thePremier League. So,  eventhough Everton still gets bad results, but in fact Everton has always managed not to be relegated if I consider it from previous seasons. But for this season,I still can't predict whether Everton will still be able to survive in the Premier League or not.

The defense line was still quite problematic in the match so they had to accept defeat. Even Brighton's winning goal came from Man United's poor defense because they did not guard the player who was standing empty in the corner. As far as I have seen in the last five meetings between the two, Man United have only been able to win one match and this is a pretty bad result for Erik Ten Hak.

Brighton was able to match Man United's game and I think this is a weak point that needs to be fixed by Erik Ten Hak. If they lose against a team like this, it will be much more difficult when facing other strong teams in other matches.

Yeah, the defense problem is still the main problem for Manchester United, at first I thought they were safe when they equalized the score  but disaster came in the final minutes. As you said, Ten Hag must find a solution if they want to stay in the top 4 morever this season competition is getting tighter,  Manchester United still have time to improve their defence in this transfer window just wait what they will do.

Manchester United is having this problem for long time as things are not getting better even they are having few quality defenders even it is start of the season but as they are having performance against teams like Fulham and Brighton I am not sure whether they are having any chance of going into top six spots because every season is bringing new challenges as top teams are having good development and competing with them for staying into top ranks are never been easy.

Manchester United defense is already being talked, but their attack is also not strong as we were expecting because they are having just 2 goals in two games with they need to be had more aggression against these average teams with good number of goals, but things are not perfect which is the biggest dilemma for them.

It is the first half quarter of the game between Liverpool and Brentford, What are your observations so far? Am seeing the game ending with over 2.5 goals.

Liverpool did well in this 45 minutes that just ended 1-0, but if Liverpool continue like this in the second half, I think Brentford will equalize the goal because Liverpool midfield is no longer strong like the starting of this match. This is not Chelsea match, I don't think the goals will reach 2-5 goals, but Brentford have a goal to score in this match but Liverpool will be the winner at the end 2-1, that is my prediction.

[Jossque]

Ipswich Town couldn't win the match naturally despite scoring the first goal against Manchester City.City's dominant play meant that the away team didn't get many chances to play the ball.Erling Haaland scored 3 goals in the match and Manchester City didn't have to work hard to win.With this win, City has 2 wins in 2 games in the league.
Fulham, on the other hand, faced Leicester City.We can say that Fulham did not have much difficulty in the match, which Fulham won 2-1 at home.Fulham managed to get their first win in week 2.Leicester City hopefully will not be relegated this season.

Same issue i have thought about concerning Chelsea i also think the defense is still a bit shaky and the major problem is from the Full backs, the inverted role they are being given is making it difficult for them so i expect some mistakes from them for until they get used to it or it might get better when James gets back to the squad.
Caicedo struggled because he was supported by Gusto in the midfield which is not really a good idea it is the major cause of the defensive issues, midfield not solid and the left and right back always shaky exposing the center backs. As for Mudryk i think his performance shouldn’t be tolerated anymore he has been given enough chancesto pick himself up but it seems he is not ready yet, if he stays on the bench and learn from other players maybe it might help improve his performance.

 A good job well done by Arne Slot as he has managed to win his opening two games. It's an impressive way to kick off the season and It's enough to say he's a good replacement for Jurgen Klopp.
They should have thrashed Ipswich in their beginning game because I feel if they had done what they did to Brentford today to Kieran McKenna's Ipswich, they should have gotten more goals but the important thing is the three points which they got and so far, Arne Slot is proving that they can do plenty damage even if they didn't sign players.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Wolves failed to maintain a draw in the second half and the chaos of the wolves defense today actually created a disaster for them, currently the match has entered the 85th minute and Chelsea has a 6-2 lead over wolves, in the first half actually Wolves played quite well and even they were able to trouble the Chelsea defense by applying a few pressures but I saw that their performance dropped drastically in the second half,  In fact, Wolves were able to reduce the score through Mario but unfortunately the goal was disallowed by the referee because offside, even before the match almost entered the 80th minute Chelsea had actually added to their advantage through a quick counter-attack scheme and Joao Felix was finally able to create his first goal today to make Chelsea win temporarily with a score of 6-2.
Madueke became the first player to score a hat trick in the English League this season by utilizing 3 assists from Palmer.

Since 2020/21 season that Chelsea won the UEFA Champions League title, I have not seen a better Chelsea performance in an away game than what I'm seeing this afternoon at Wolves. Many of us were castigating Chelsea management's decision to sign too many players this summer but judging by the performance we've seen in this game especially in the second half, I think it's this team is going to contend for the all the available trophies this season if they can continue like this.
I don't want to believe that the performance came by luck and I'll not be surprised if they continue with this momentum

Honestly, Chelsea performed so well today, which a lot of people did not expect from them, but it surprised almost everyone. I wish they could continue like this. I expected Chelsea to win the game, and that is what actually happened, but I never expected that Chelsea would score so many goals. Anyone who watched Chelsea's last match against Manchester City will know that Chelsea will do well this season.They really played well, but they were just not lucky enough to score goals; if they had been, it could have been another story. Chelsea was attacking just like Manchester City, rather than thinking about defending. It will be really good if Chelsea can get their form back. As you have said, it is very possible that Chelsea could fight for the Premier League trophy if they continue like this.

Impressive performance from Liverpool. I'm impressed by how they dealt with their opponents' counters. They quickly got a lot of men behind the ball. They look assured against any counterattack. They seem ready to counter their opponents.

Arne slot is really improving the way we playing football. Also, I like Slot's decision to sub off our front 3 early. It's a prep for facing Manchester United soon. Slot's decision making is also very good.

It's too early to says Arne Slot is the right manager to replace Jurgen Klopp because Premier league still have 36 matches remaining but indeed since arrived to Liverpool i have to says Arne Slot has bringing positive impact to this team and so far he can managed Liverpool performance since pre season tour until today that Liverpool still unbeated under him and Liverpool defense is very strong under Arne Slot because from total 7 matches Liverpool only conceded 2 goals

What i noticed from Liverpool is apparently Arne Slot has found good strategy to this team because seems the formation 4-2-3-1 is really effective because in the last 2 matches Arne Slot has been used this formation and Liverpool has good balanced to attack and defense and Liverpool also always be controlling the game however this is positive result before facing big match against Manchester United next week

Cole Palmer and Chukwunonso Madueke put on a show. Chelsea got their first win under Maresca in such a spectacular manner. Chelsea had a strong offense with Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer, with Madueke and Mudryk, they were signaling that they would have a game with plenty of goals. If they reduce their defensive problems, they can be in the title race.
Now they need to win the next 3 games and have a good series, their fixtures are very favorable for that.

Maresca is still a work in progress at Chelsea, he won't get everything right at once, It's a gradual process. Once he has finished selecting his full team, I'm sure everything will be fine. Currently he has more than 40 players at Chelsea. And handling that number of players will be difficult. If he can solve the attacking problem and the goals has started coming, he will definitely fix the defense. He just started training with the players last month and it will take him time to get the right player to fit in and play the way he wants. By the time the team is trimmed down, I'm sure Enzo will do something about the defense. Let's hope that the team will continue playing in the manner we saw them displayed today for a very long time. We need consistency in the Chelsea team. Maresca is the Man that will lead Chelsea to the top again. The man knows what he doing.

Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke's performance in their game at Wolves today was simply out of this world. Cole Palmer scored a stunner in the game and made a hattrick of assists to Madueke who converted all three to win the match ball. Last week against Manchester City, we saw a less creative Chelsea but it seems the link between Palmer and Madueke is going to bring solution to struggles in scoring goals. This season is still very fresh so we can't determine how good the partnership is gonna be but hopefully for Chelsea, it continues to yield better results.

Chelsea played an impressive game today against wolves with so much enthusiasm to win their second match of the beginning of the season with plenty of goals, especially the hat-trick scored by Noni Madueke with a full assistance by cole palmer, it a bad news and for wolves for Lossing two consecutive matches at the beginning of the season , it is going to be easy with wolves if they continue meeting with a more tougher teams, but i believe they will do better if they meet a more favorable features in subsequent matches, they tried at least by scoring 2 goals.

Amazed by Chelsea's performance earlier this is an interesting game, usually we are bored to see Chelsea struggling to score goals but against Wolves they feasted on goals.

It was a dubious start in the first half as it ended 2-2 maybe in the second half Wolves could put some more pressure but they didn't, Maresca gave a different effort in the second half as Chelsea were able to add 4 goals with ease.

Cole Palmer was Madueke's second highest rating as a hat trick but the assists were all from Palmer.
Felix made a good debut with 1 goal signaling confidence with Chelsea.

Some defensive mistakes that should be addressed indeed so they can be in the top again.
Chelsea showed to Wolves in this match who is the boss and warned the other teams that they are back on track after their defeat in the first round against Manchester City. Scoring six goals was incredible, even, Joao Félix scored one and Madueke a hattrick.
Until now, I could say Chelsea might be present in the top four but not in the first rank until they stop receiving goals easily.

Slot arrived and he is already fire up everything. Klopp was a legend, but things have to change. Slot has a fresh vision and it is manifesting. Turns the front three before United. That's balls, man. That indicates he's not hesitant to make difficult decisions, even if they involve benching some well-known personalities. Yes, they did not blast out Ipswich; but, consider the Brentford game

4 2-3-1? It's about tempo control as much as defense. Two goals let in in seven games. That is a claim. Liverpool's going to be no pushover anymore. Early, but this is interesting. Should Slot maintain this, Liverpool will be a formidable opponent. Though they won not every game 5-0, they will be in every game and fight till the last. And it is the important thing

Truly Chelsea attack is sharp and potent with players like Madueke, Jackson, Palmer, Nkunku and João Félix which would be ruthless with their opponent defence, however I absolutely agreed with you on Chelsea defence line which is fragile for now I think Maresca should fortify and strengthen that area of the team and from.my own observation also Caicedo is inconsistent with Enzo too, if Enzo perform brilliantly in any match Caicedo would perform lowly vice versa, though I believe the team would improve with time the squad comprises promising youngsters.

That Brighton loss was terrible. Not only a loss, but shame. Manchester United, once great, is now middling. Thats generous. Ten Hag? He must depart. This is recurring. He has boring tactics, bizarre player choices, and little team spirit. He cannot get these world-class players to connect a couple passes.

United needs a total makeover. On the pitch and in the dugout. We need a manager who can inculcate a winning attitude and establish a fighting team. Ten Hag isnt him. If they dont make major changes before the transfer window closes, another season of mediocrity is likely. Top four? Ignore it. They may barely avoid the bottom half of the table.

How long till the Glazers understand the situation. Ten Hag missed his chance. Remove him, hire a winner, and make Manchester United great again.

There were few concerns after having first game because Manchester United were not playing as they needed to know things are getting worse because peoples understanding Ten Hag is not right man for this job he needs to be fire with new coach surely needs time, but it's all is not easy because Glazers are sleeping with pills, and they are not looking how things are going terrible after every defeat.

Even many were having concerns before start of second match but still this defeat is having serious impact on mind-sets of fans because Brighton is surely not competitive club with having Manchester United to be ended on good because they are having enough quality and sources to handle this next game is more challenging as Manchester United is going to face Liverpool.

Chelsea's squad is not weak at all. There are many talented players in this squad. Even last season, Chelsea's squad was strong. Even so, Chelsea's performance was poor. I think this happened because of the internal problems of the club.

Chelsea's attack this season has talented players like Joao Felix, Sterling, Neto, Mudryk and Lukaku. Jackson, Palmer and Madueke are also very talented players. This Chelsea squad is strong. But consistently performing well requires a stable match strategy. It is also important for the players to be confident. Otherwise, Chelsea will not be able to perform well against the big teams.

In this match, Chelsea's attacking players performed well and scored 6 goals. We all admire Chelsea's attack. But the Chelsea team could not score a single goal against Manchester City in the first match. Therefore, the performance of Chelsea players is not regular this season.
