Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Palakka]

This is a tragic news. two midfielders and one defender all of them are quality players. Their absence will affect the team and that is very bad if they can't win their next game after drawing to Brighton. Don't forget that Decaknd Rice a defensive midfielder had a red card in the last match and won't be playing also in the upcoming one. This is a lot of loss for Arsenal at this early stage in the league.

Arsenal against Tottenham is a very strong game. They have to win that game. However, there will be a reshuffle in the players. Jurrnie Timber will substitute for Odegard's position. Thomas Partey will hold the defensive midfield alongside Jorginho. This will work well for the team and if they can keep the play on till the game is over.

Havertz and Trossard might likely rotate to midfielder positions, but this will make them have no player to back up on striker positions. Arsenal need to use all of their players, unfortunately they can't sign more players since the transfer window was closed.

The match will held in Tottenham stadium, this gives more disadvantage to Arsenal.

Considering Tottenham isn't in shape, I guess the match will end in draw.

Arsenal will face a very crucial and also emotional match this end week against Tottenham, so far the London derby is not just to get 3 points but more than all because of the eternal rivalry that has occurred between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur so far, Arsenal who will away to Tottenham Stadium currently in a bad condition after Declan Rice,  Merino, Calafiori and also Odegaard must be absent in the later match, without a full squad of course Arsenal has a very small chance of winning at Tottenham home, Tottenham does not want to be embarrassed by their rivals altbough so far Tottenham has not found their best performance in the league but I am quite sure if they will play very well and full of ambition to be able to beat Arsenal in the match.

Arteta, who has lost 3 midfielders and 1 defender, of course has to find a solution to be able to keep their squad solid in the  match, because so far they only have two experienced midfielders, namely Jorginho and also Partey, losing Calafiori in my opinion is not a big problem for Arsenal considering they have many defenders in their squad, but the midfield must actually be the main focus for Arsenal, because so far their midfield has been the center of Arsenal game, so when they don't have a balanced midfield it will be difficult for Arsenal to win in that the match and we can see the proof when Arsenal lost Declan Rice against Brighton in the previous match

No doubt but I guarantee Man United will not touch position 2 in the final standings this season. Because it is too difficult to step over Arsenal and Liverpool. So there is no guarantee whatsoever for the Red Devils who are stumbling without direction in every match. The most maximum thing for Man United is to occupy position 5 or 6 at the end of the season. I am not underestimating them but considering the fact that the depth of Man United squad and the front line are not sharp, this club is unable to take advantage of every opportunity that exists. This weekend we will see them against Southampton even though on paper Man United has a high chance, it is not a guarantee that 3 points can be obtained easily.

Try to think so far who is the spearhead of Man United that can be relied on? none

They will have to work very hard even to reach the 5th position, I am more inclined to think that they will be closer to the middle of the table, somewhere where they finished last season. City and Liverpool are almost out of reach for them, and in order for them to start climbing, they need to start winning, but I see that now they are again starting to discuss a change of coach, there are rumors about Zidane, and that Zidane is not ready to work in a team where the language barrier will hinder him.

I think that in Manchester United, things are more likely to be closer to a change of coach, than to the team starting to win. By the way, Antony started talking about wanting to leave the team...

Maybe Erik Ten Hag's success in presenting the FA Cup title is the reason for management to retain him. I think if that is the reason, it certainly does not match the large investment value that has been disbursed. Of course, anyone would be disappointed if the performance of their favorite team does not experience significant changes. I think it is time for management to give an ultimatum to Ten Hag so that he can improve the team's performance.

Yes, the FA Cup trophy was the reason why Erik Ten Hag was given another opportunity to remain as Manchester United's head coach because Manchester United's management believes Erik Ten Hag would turn things around in Manchester United this season. But from what Erik Ten Hag has shown in the Premier League so far, it seems like Erik Ten Hag would not live up to the expectations of Manchester United management. If Erik Ten Hag fails to deliver a convincing win against Southampton this weekend, his job will be at risk.

I don't really think Manchester United gave Eric Ten Haag the opportunity to continue with the club due to his performance at the F.A cup because for obvious reasons, during when Manchester United was underperforming and the pressure to sack Ten Haag was high but yet the management didn't do anything at all and there was even speculations of his possible sack even before the league ended last season but yet he was still left to continue and believe me had it been that ETH didn't win the F.A cup the club's management would have still left him to continue because they weren't even making any plans of hiring a new coach so it shouldn't sound as though winning the F.A cup was what kept ETH till now. Manchester United's problem has always been related to their coach and I still say it that ETH is not going to deliver Manchester United this season so it's either the club's management start making preparations for another coach or they should bear the aftermath of their decision in keeping ETH. And believe me whether they win their match against Southampton or not they will still leave him to continue.

That assumption Manchester United management had then was a bad one because they should have known that if Erik Ten Hag would turn things around he would have even done it when the premier League was still on last season but he did nothing, if they had more remaining matches on the premier League then before they play the FA Cup they would have understand that Erik Ten Hag has nothing much for Manchester United because they would have noticed it, in other words if that's really the reason why Manchester United management decided to give him another chance I wouldn't blame them because that was the last match for them and wining Manchester City was a promising one, so it clouded the decision of the club management.

[Cookdata]

Arsenal is in good shape and the match will end up 2-1 arsenal wins the derby easily at the home ground of Tottenham. The positions of Havertz and Trossard are good in midfield because they can give some good passes towards goal post

It's just under a year since Arsenal draw their last match against Tottenham and the one after that doesn't seem to have much difference in goals. The only thing that I can say in this match that might give me some confidence is that Tottenham hasn't been in good foot and Arsenal are kind of better ballers since their round 3 matches, they should give them swift winning since there matches have been clean defensive style, they should do well but I will prefer to bet on over than bet on individual teams.

Arsenal also need to stop skipping win points, they have 2 successful seasons by staying at the top of the table but haven't be able to successfully win the Premier League and the best way to have that run is to have consistent winning. If they don't beat Tottenham based on what this guys has played, no one will ever take then serious again because alot of people will see them as the normal Arsenal that came back and show off but nothing really to give their fans after 17 years.

Another shitshow is coming from Chelsea. Their civil war is getting started. Their internal problem is getting even more serious at this moment. And their internal are now being divided into two sides. Either Beghdad (Clearlake) & Boehly are exploring the way to get more shares of Chelsea.

From my reading, Boehly opposes Beghdad's focus on trading players. He wants to win the competition. That's changing his view. It's driving him to fight Beghdad for more shares to acquire this club.

Boehly was caring more for the club instead of Beghdad. He has a very good background as a successful sports team owner. He's also a decent owner. Unlike Beghdad, he's a finance bro; he cares only money.

That makes me stand on Boehly's side instead of Beghdad.

I think this is going to be a long and messy saga. And it's potentially harming Chelsea's performance

If the reason for giving Ten Hag a chance because he was able to lift the FA Cup trophy, I think it is not relevant, come on, this is Manchester United, not an underdog club. They are a club that has been successful in the past and we know that MU fans are spread all over the world, the management should realize that they have to target the English League trophy and return to providing tight competition in the UCL. So far, the management has spent a lot of money on player recruitment, instead of being able to build a solid squad, Ten Hag can only damage it, the FA Cup is just a consolation for the Red Devils. The management is wrong if they still give a chance, I still doubt that Ten Hag can fix that mistake and bring MU into a strong candidate for the EPL champion this season. He doesn't have that ability.

If Erik Ten Hag fails to deliver a convincing win against Southampton this weekend, his job will be at risk.

If the FA trophy is a measure of Ten Hag still being retained as Manchester United coach, it means that the management does not have big plans for the future. They should be more concerned about the condition of the team than retaining a coach who has only managed to deliver one FA Cup trophy since being appointed as head coach two years ago.

Manchester United started the season in a disappointing manner, Ten Hag was only able to lead his team to one win in three matches, they were only able to collect 3 points from the 9 available. It's still early in the season, but already languishing in 14th place in the table, if Ten Hag remains as manager, Manchester United may not be able to win a single trophy this season and could potentially fail to qualify for European competition next season.

[Adiljutt156]

Manchester United's start to the new season has certainly been poor. The way they are losing every match in the beginning, they will surely stumble again towards the end. If United's coach Erik ten Haag could have brought in good players and stars in his team and formed a strong team, they would have had a chance to win the trophy in the EPL this season. But their performance at the beginning of the season cannot speak for them at all, rather it will not be possible for them to move forward with this bad performance. But I think Manchester United players have to be more diligent, as there is still time. Moreover, since the current strategy of the coach is not working, he has to adopt a new and strong strategy, and he has to change the team wisely, but they can stay in the top position.

Manchester United is having bad start to season. If they keep losing they will probably struggle at the end too. Coach Erik Ten Haag had chance to make team better with new players but it has not worked yet. They do not look good right now but I think players can improve if they try harder. Coach needs to think of a new plan and make some changes to the team. If they do this they can still finish high in the league. It's not too late to fix their season.

Yes,  Man City football team has potential to come back in this tournament. We saw many tournaments in which they were looking that they will be out of the tournament but in the end they played well and they became successful in their goals. I want good performance from that team and they will not  disappointed us in this match, the stat of MN City team is great and they won 3 matches out of 5 matches and Brentford won two matches against Man City. So we are ready to watch the match in the Saturday and we will get holiday from the office and we will enjoy the match. Brentford team should not be underestimated and if Man City team underestimated that team ,they will be in difficult situations in this match.

[Dewi Aries]

It is reported that Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw and Lindelof have been able to return to the field after their injuries, so with the addition of these 3 players, the away match against Southampton could give Erik Ten Hag additional ammunition. But once again the big question is can Erik Ten Hag concoct a strategy? Then on the home side, Southampton does not want to lose easily, especially playing at home, making it a demand for Southampton to show their best performance for the fans. In terms of opportunities, the home team has a plus point and can make it difficult for the opponent.

Well that's the problem, or I mean I think many of us are also questioning something you mentioned above regarding whether Ten Hag will be able to implement the right strategy or tactics in the match or not, and if it turns out that there is nothing surprising in the match from Manchester United even though their three players have recovered then of course various criticisms will be busy again. On the other hand, in general I think Southampton should not be too difficult an opponent for Manchester United even though they will play at home, because in the last few seasons Southampton is one of the teams that often finishes in the bottom position in the standings and we can see now they are also in second place from the bottom by starting the season without a win, meaning they are a team that has poor performance, and I think it would be quite embarrassing if Manchester United failed to take advantage of this opportunity again even though they will play away, at least share points, because I don't think there will be any tolerance from the fans to be patient any longer.

Don't underestimate any club in the English Premier League this season because they've in plans to win games. There are levels when it comes to clubs in the EPL and Manchester City hits on the big status. Pep Guardiola won't hesitate towards his oppositions this season. He's coming for every winnings and trust me when I say, Manchester City have everything within their position to grabbed major winnings. Manchester City hosts Brentford this weekend at Etihad stadium and we know what to expects from the Citizens. It's going to be really a long run for the club.

With the look of things I think it beyond that the management open up publicly and said Erik Ten Hag got their backing and he is free from the word sack but I don't know maybe they will change their mind towards the result of their next match, when I saw this it shocked me because I wasn't having any hope to see Erik Ten Hag managing Man United this season we the poor performance they had in last season but who knows maybe it will be because of this FA Cup trophy, am beginning to suspect something about Erik Ten Hag in Man Utd because Mourinho deed better than him with a record of winning the League Cup, Europa League and Community Shield and he was address as the worse season but Erik Ten Hag is different with only one trophy.

The patience shown to Erik Ten Hag is not shown to any manager in the Premier League. The patience of Manchester United's management towards him is very high. The Premier League is a league that does not accept this much failure. Manchester United is also one of the deep-rooted teams because of its history full of success. To tell you the truth, I thought that the manager would be given at the end of the year last year. However, I was surprised to see him at the head of the team this year.

Havertz and Trossard might likely rotate to midfielder positions, but this will make them have no player to back up on striker positions. Arsenal need to use all of their players, unfortunately they can't sign more players since the transfer window was closed.

The match will held in Tottenham stadium, this gives more disadvantage to Arsenal.

Considering Tottenham isn't in shape, I guess the match will end in draw.

Odegaard's injury is very detrimental to Arsenal, because he is a key player for the Gunners. Often when Odegaard is absent, either because he is rested or injured, it makes Arsenal's gameplan a little messy. Clearly, Arteta will not be happy with what happened to one of his important players. Although Arsenal have other options, Odegaard's role for his teammates is very important. He is a smart midfielder, he is also a leader on the field for his teammates. As for Havertz and Trossard, these two players can play in the position that Arteta wants. However, I doubt that Trossard will be played as a midfielder. It could be that if the choice is Havertz, or maybe Arteta has other thoughts. Referring to the match against Tottenham Hospur, it seems that Arsenal must work hard to score full points in this London derby. Moreover, Spurs' condition is also not on a good track. However, Spurs should be able to take advantage of it, besides playing at home, several Arsenal players will be absent in the match. Anyway, I still hope Arsenal can get full points.

[Lida93]

Arsenal will most likely be missing their skipper Martin Odegaard in their first EPL North London derby campaign this season with Tottenham after the Norwegian midfielder was befallen with an ankle sprain injury during their game on Monday against Austria in the UEFA nation's league. Source predicts that the span of the injury could take weeks to have him back to field. This means Arsenal would be faced with the challenge of coping with his absence in the midfield while waiting his recovery. What a debacle for the Gunners in the starting of a new season.

Odegaard is their captain and very important player of Arsenal. He helped them to control ball, maintain good ball possession, provide good passes include assists and he is very goal productive midfielder too. Angle injury is not good injury type and in serious case, player can lose a whole career like Marco Van Basten who got it and had to retire when he was very young.

Arsenal will assess his injury carefully and will give Odegaard enough time for full recovery. He is very important for them but they need this player in as many matches as possible, not in some few matches. They will not take risk of using Odegaard too soon that can make him injured again.

[bangjoe]

With their return, I think Ten Hag can be more calm and be able to save himself from the cute insults continuously, although Southampton must also be prepared to conquer the Red Devils, but they are not strong enough if Ten Hag rely on Manchester United's style of game, but if He was unable to build a good strategy to fight Southampton that would make him wretched deeper.

Hojlund, Luke Saw and Lindelof are important players who can be used as keys to Manchester United, but it is also a question whether they are ready and have the same performance as before healed from injury?

[len01]

Yes, it seems that this season is again difficult for Manchester United to break into the top three, in my opinion they will also find it difficult to break into the top four or reach the Champions League zone. Erik Ten Hag clearly has not made any impact since he entered Old Trafford, even though if you look at the amount of investment, the Red Devils are already able to compete at the top of the standings. I think United management must immediately evaluate the Dutchman's performance if they want their team to be able to compete at the top of the EPL.

There are still 35 matches left in the EPL and we don't know what will happen next. Man United is actually not too bad in the attack line looks very strong and you can see from the appearance of the attacking players who look very consistent. But unfortunately the slightly bad defense can always concede goals. I will not blame Ten Hag or the defenders, but Ten Hag is currently trying to fix everything and it is also possible that this season will be the last season for Ten Hag.

[Marvell1]

It is reported that Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw and Lindelof have been able to return to the field after their injuries, so with the addition of these 3 players, the away match against Southampton could give Erik Ten Hag additional ammunition.

Rasmus Hojlund proved to be a really important piece of Erik Ten Hag's squad. Now his return can be very fruitful for United, as he would be starting most games as the number 9. He is a proper top-quality talent and can help the forward line to play even better football.

But once again the big question is can Erik Ten Hag concoct a strategy?

For Manchester United's slow start to the season, a lot of the problems were just unlucky. They play bold football, Onana launches long balls which invite the opposing teams to press higher and then they initiate counter-press-based attacks from their own half. If you see a few situations against Liverpool, they had some solid chances created, but technical mistakes cost them to score the goals. Coaches can teach them to set up and play football according to their plans, but that's all they can do. If they fail to follow the tactics, a lot of the blame goes to the players too. And the goals they conceded, mostly due to losing balls in very risky places and followed by completely bad defending. That is unacceptable. Also, Shaw can be important, as Dalot is playing out of position right now.

Then on the home side, Southampton does not want to lose easily, especially playing at home, making it a demand for Southampton to show their best performance for the fans. In terms of opportunities, the home team has a plus point and can make it difficult for the opponent.

As much as I believe in home advantage in the premier league, the game should be won by United, it's been a good while that they have went through mediocrity, and Southampton getting a result against them is just unreal. I expect United to be really solid.

Although the season is still very long but we can judge how Erik Ten Hag in concocting the team so I conclude this season will not be different from last season, that United does not seem to have a clear style of play. I do not understand why United management still gives him a chance this season when many people think he is worthy of being replaced at the end of last season. But this season will certainly be the last season for Ten Hag if he fails to bring the Red Devils to finish in the top four.
