Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[SatoPrincess]

I don't know why some people here are not happy seeing Chelsea fans smiling. Reading lots of posts here justifies how eager people are to see their downfall. Madueke scored against wolves and not a newly promoted club but you're calling wolves a weak team? Wolves that has been maintaining their top flight campaign in Premier league for several seasons is now being considered a weak team because they played against Chelsea. I know they have been struggling too since last season but they're a solid mid table team with strengths and are very competitive in the league. Chelsea overpowered them with a thunderstorm scoreline but it doesn't make them a weak team.

Chelsea played brilliantly against Wolverhampton and I don’t mind their fans celebrating their victory at all but I think it is too early to say that Chelsea is back. The league is just starting, if they are consistent with their current performance maybe then the fans can hope to see the club in the conversation for title contenders.

Former Chelsea player now pundit, Mikel Obi has been ranting about how Chelsea needs a striker who can score goals, criticizing Nicolas Jackson’s performance at Chelsea and favoring Victor Osimhen for that role. Jackson has since responded to Mikel Obi’s criticism on X, but even the fans know that Jackson’s finishing is poor and agree that the criticism is warranted.  If I was a Chelsea fan, I would rather have Osimhen than Jackson in my team. In my opinion, Chelsea cannot depend on Nicolas Jackson as a striker, he is not a player that can guarantee you goals every week.

Arteta understands what football is to the public. If you want to win the Premier League right now, its not about how many goals you are able to score in a match its about winning each game throughout the league and that is what Pep Guardiola has been doing right from the start of Manchester City. Right now Arsenals defense is stronger than what it is before, Arteta still bought more midfielders who can hold the ball for long and shoot when necessary. This is how they can win the league. When they concede less goal and win all the matches.

Arteta continues to try to improve the performance of the Arsenal squad little by little every season. And it seems like he continues to learn from every mistake he makes in every season. 2022-2023 season Arsenal lacks good second-string players. So when key players were injured we immediately saw the Arsenal squad weaken at the end of the season and be overtaken by Man City. And then last season, namely the 2023-2024 season, we saw Arsenal with a more mature squad where they also had several good players in the second tier. but their defense at that time looked mediocre. And now in the 2024-25 season we can see Arteta again trying to perfect the Arsenal squad and the result is that Arsenal now even has a better defensive line. And their attack efficiency has also increased. And I think Arsenal this time will really be much more difficult for any team in the EPL to beat.

If there is a difference between these two teams Manchester United and Liverpool then Liverpool should be ahead. There is a compromise in Liverpool's performance that we don't see with Manchester United. Manchester United winning one match by a big margin and losing several matches is never a good game. Last season Manchester United played Champions League this season they will play Europa League due to poor performance in the local league their place is in Europa League. With Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool competing in the Premier League this season, we can't really consider Manchester United in the best position there.

Liverpool headcoach, Arne Slot have to work hard enough because he's in the English Premier League and have become one of the solid style to create opportunities for the team. He's the solidable replacement for Jurgen Klopp and he knows how to face elite and average clubs. Meanwhile Manchester united have more time to improve after losing in a style against Brighton previous weekend. The Red devils have to bounced back on their feet because winning and accumulating three points should be their desperate priorities. Erik Ten Hag have to put in the work and comprehend the complex arrangement of these new players.

At the end of this season, every Liverpool fan will probably say that their previous manager was better if the current manager can't work hard to improve the team's performance.  Liverpool's position last season was probably number three or number four in the English Premier League. This season, Liverpool must be brought to a better position. If the current manager fails, Liverpool fans will not want him. There was a time when we considered Liverpool as an auto choice in the list of best teams but currently Liverpool are not performing like that which is why we now doubt whether they can stay from 1 to 5 in the points table.

Come on, don't expect too much from Arsenal because they have disappointed their fans too often. It's not about how strong their defense is, not how creative their midfielders are, nor how productive their attackers are, but this about the winning mentality that Arsenal lacks.

Remember that Arsenal always fail at the end of the season and open the way for Manchester City. This is clearly a weakness that Arteta should be able to patch up this season, but it's not easy to change it in an instant. Arsenal's performance consistency is good at the beginning of the season, but they will decline as the season draws to a close, that's the scenario of their failure so far.

You are been biased for these statements you made about Arsenal, I think you have to keep sentiment aside and tell the truth because everyone has seen the changes Arteta has brought into the Arsenal squad. His effort towards winning the League in the last two season were recognised because the team stood out to outperform Manchester City, just that inexperience let them done to gave Manchester City the title.
Last season, it was due to lack of prolific striker; and even though no striker has been signed yet, I don't think Arsenal will lose some kind matches they lost season because one of them has been corrected already.

Nevertheless, you cannot desipute the fact that Arsenal have good creative midfielders, they have good squad depth and have signed good players that will help the team, the only problem now is a reliable striker because Gabriel Jesus is not reliable due to injury.

I think Arsenal have changed for good this season; getting a new midfielder to get everything right is the best thing as they have it now, so I believe everything will go smoothly as we want. However, the Premier League is very tough competition, but I think Arsenal can also make it to the final and get the title, as if Manchester City were very strong; no one will argue that, but as it is now, we are also ready for them this season. Arteta has already fixed our problem, and we are fully ready for the tittle race this season; none stop this time around.

Chelsea is currently struggling in the second leg of the play-off round in the Conference League against Servette. And even though Chelsea controlled the game very well, they are now 2-1 behind their opponents. but Chelsea already had the advantage from the first leg. So if Chelsea maintains its current score then Chelsea should still qualify with an aggregate lead of 1 goal.

In the Premier League in the last match we saw Chelsea improving. and maybe the results of the match in the European Conference league can also be a reference for predicting their next match in the premier league. And in the next match against Crystal Palace I think I will favor Chelsea.

Manchester City and Liverpool are the only clubs that I personally think would become headache for Arsenal this season. We know the tactical changes towards these Arsenal squad, the Gunners expects to maintain their stellar performance this season. Mikel Arteta have done his best to zealed up the potentials and explore good results for the club. Arsenal have focused more on winning matches. Mikel Arteta will not be pleased with the channeling of energy towards average clubs, they've build an empire and trying to develop the club into another dimension, basically a good run for the club.

This is surprising because the last time I checked in the first half Chelsea was leading with one goal. That made me left watching the game with so much assurance that Chelsea would win the game. Mehn if Chelsea can't win Servette in the conference league it is a very big disgrace. I don't want to hear any noise or banter from any Chelsea fans around me.

It seems you were deceived by Chelsea's performance last match. That wasn't an improvement at all. Because it is in Chelsea's nature to win some matches and then lose some. They are never consistent in their winning. So, I can't put my hopes on them at all times.

I didn't watch the match. But the match has now ended with Chelsea losing with a score of 2-1. So I feel that it is still difficult for us to trust Chelsea in the next week in the Premier League. Maybe their only opponent is Crystal Palace. And Chelsea also hosted the match. It's just that this club's inconsistency in every match always makes me afraid to bet on the matches they play. As hosts, Chelsea can still be favourites. But a draw could also happen in this match. Well I haven't decided whether to believe them or not. But if they can play as well as they did against Wolves then maybe my confidence in them will be higher.

What exactly Chelsea did in this game is playing with my comprehension because the more I try to understand it, the more its not making enough sense to me, this is a team they literally won with a good margin in the last game but here they are struggling with the same team to the point they lost the game against the team because they weren't capable enough to win this team in the second leg, they only had the advantage that they had a lot of home goal advantage that's keeping them ahead, else they would have lost terribly but on the aggregate they are still winning. This is a sign of another season of inconsistency for Chelsea as I don't see any better way to best describe the situation currently because like I said earlier it's not adding up enough to make sense to me sadly.

What you said is true, in the last two seasons Arsenal have always been good at the beginning but towards the end of the season they lost their performance so they couldn't be consistent. Of course this is one of the influences of mentality, but I think anything can happen in football. Arsenal is not a small team, they are also a big team, of course their mentality will be formed slowly from the experience of failure in the previous two seasons. Arsenal does not want to repeat the same mistakes this season.

Moreover, seeing Arsenal's very active movement in this transfer market and Arsenal's current game which is so solid, I think Arsenal has a strong determination to win the EPL trophy this season. The reason is, the failure to compete with Man City in the last two seasons is not only a mentality problem, but Arsenal does not have a reserve squad that is as strong as its main players so when a player is injured, Arsenal's performance also decreases.

Goals still matter though and if you can score more goals even in a match you’re already winning, it’ll be a great thing for you going forward. What they call goal difference is very important in football and any team that’s able to create a big goal margin between them and their most closest opponent, it’ll be of advantage to them sooner when they are sharing same points on the league table. Arteta is a good coach, I haven’t lost faith in him yet, maybe he can do what we’ve been expecting from him when he took charge of the club in this season, winning the premier league trophy.

Former Chelsea player now pundit, Mikel Obi has been ranting about how Chelsea needs a striker who can score goals, criticizing Nicolas Jackson’s performance at Chelsea and favoring Victor Osimhen for that role. Jackson has since responded to Mikel Obi’s criticism on X, but even the fans know that Jackson’s finishing is poor and agree that the criticism is warranted.  If I was a Chelsea fan, I would rather have Osimhen than Jackson in my team. In my opinion, Chelsea cannot depend on Nicolas Jackson as a striker, he is not a player that can guarantee you goals every week.

Your points are very valid and Jackson is not a striker you can depend on to score goals for you at anytime you want goals even when the chances are created for him, he’s not a good finisher when compared to Victor Osimhen. The criticism by the former Chelsea player on Nicholas Jackson was suppose to be done privately and not publicly, no player will like to be criticised like that openly. He should have at least suggested a new striker but not saying the present one isn’t good and the new one will be better than him. There’s a way he can pass this message without Nicholas feeling hurt, but in my opinion, he did it the wrong way.

The disappointment occurred because they expected too much of Arsenal when if we look at the conditions even though they are one of the clubs that are quite considered for the last few seasons but we can ultimately realize that their mentality is still quite lacking.

They are still very competitive but in the end when their mentality is still inferior to Manchester City then everything will remain the same. But even so I think they have also made a lot of progress until now and the evidence that they have always been in the runner up in the last 2 seasons is a consideration that Arsenal have indeed tried their best.

By looking at these considerations, of course the hope of competition even for champions is still there even though it is not greater than Manchester City with their superior strength under the cold hands of Pep who can always make the moments created into advantages but Arsenal's hard work in recent seasons deserves appreciation.

If Arteta understand the public, why hasn't him win the Premier League all this while but Guardiola the master planner won the two right before him for the two seasons he has spent on Arsenal. Guardiola is more of a strategic person that Arteta and that's why he knows better when and how to take his best shot on matches that can give him lead to win the Premier League and not give his fans all hope and disappoint later.

You can't give what you don't have and truth to be told, Arteta can't do that right now unless Guardiola and hs boys got too to much Injuries which I'm not sir  to be likely but I know for a fact that Guardiola will still bag this Premier League title with ease ad nothing will happen.

[BITCOIN4X]

One of the matches that is expected to be tense this weekend is the match between Arsenal vs Brighton. Arsenal, who are playing at home, must be wary of Brighton's good performance, especially after they won the match against Manchester United. Brighton is very dangerous and has the potential to ruin Arsenal's party at home, but as a team that is performing well, Arsenal are very favorites to win.

Meanwhile, Manchester City and Chelsea have a big chance of winning in their respective matches against West Ham and Crystal Palace, but Tottenham vs Newcastle is still difficult to predict. Another good match is Manchester United vs Liverpool, but Liverpool look worthy favorites even though they play at Old Trafford.

[Issa56]

Come on, don't expect too much from Arsenal because they have disappointed their fans too often.

Arsenal fans exception is always very high every season, but they are always disappointed at the ending of the season because they don’t always achieve what their fans  want. For the past two seasons, Arsenal have been ending the season in second position, they are finding it difficult to take the first position from Manchester City no matter how hard they try. We are always in a new season, and if I will be honest, it’s going to be difficult for Arsenal to win the Premier League this season. I am still expecting Manchester City to win it this season also.
 
Arsenal are playing well currently, but I'm still expecting their performance to drop before the season ends, because that’s what has been happening to them, and I'm sure it’s going to happen this season also.

Saying that Arsenal has changed for this season seems like Arsenal has not been good. For the past two seasons, Arsenal has been the best team in England to my personal assessment. These guys are good and they play good football as well. The problem of the team comes towards the end of the season when they will lose focus both in the European competition and the English Premier League and other local trophies.

So, the major work lies on the coach Michael Arteta to be able to know how to manage his team now that he got a good squad depth and remain strong till the end of the season.

True, Arsenal always starts up very promising and flops at the end. I think Arterta should find a better strategy to managing players fatigue at the ending of season. Guardiola manages his team's league finishing better and that's why he's always taking the trophies away from Arsenal. Last season's own pained me the most as I thought it's then or no one, only to wake-up to the dead reality that city lifted the trophy.

They're a good team, but they need more consistency at season ending

Chelsea is currently struggling in the second leg of the play-off round in the Conference League against Servette. And even though Chelsea controlled the game very well, they are now 2-1 behind their opponents. but Chelsea already had the advantage from the first leg. So if Chelsea maintains its current score then Chelsea should still qualify with an aggregate lead of 1 goal.

In the Premier League in the last match we saw Chelsea improving. and maybe the results of the match in the European Conference league can also be a reference for predicting their next match in the premier league. And in the next match against Crystal Palace I think I will favor Chelsea.

Lolz 😂 that is Chelsea for you. They always play the contrary for fans. Because they played well in their previous match and won 6 - 2 and they misbehave in this game. Chelsea underated Servette and that was why they were beaten by them. In football you don't overlook another team because your don't their squad in the field and how lucky they might be in that game. Chelsea is trying to do their best in the EPL and not in the Conference League.

[Furious 7]

You can't give what you don't have and truth to be told, Arteta can't do that right now unless Guardiola and hs boys got too to much Injuries which I'm not sir  to be likely but I know for a fact that Guardiola will still bag this Premier League title with ease ad nothing will happen.

Although it sounds harsh, the fact is that for now when other clubs want to win then they must pray that Mancehster City has internal problems such as injuries or there are points deductions that do involve allegations that are currently still under investigation so that other clubs including Arsenal might be able to become champions in the EPL.

But as long as that still cannot happen then we cannot do much because Pep Guardiola is still too extraordinary until now so it is very difficult to knock down Pep's dominance with all the conveniences he has in terms of squad, finance and his winning mentality.
It is not wrong that until now there are still hopes for Arsenal because their performance in the last 2 seasons is very good but in the end there is still a big wall that Arsenal need to pass, namely Manchester City, which is currently still too strong with the status of defending champions who have been irreplaceable in the last 4 seasons.
