Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[beerlover]

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

I would say top four is not possible for them at the moment. I think City and Arsenal and Liverpool will be the best three again, and some other team could be fourth as well, which would be fine but I think United won't be that team, they do not look good enough to be that team. I know that it feels like they could maybe do that if they can turn stuff around, but in many cases we are talking about something that will not take that long.

This is why I believe that we are not going to see them be in the fourth place. They need to get much better, I do not know what is the exact issue why they are playing badly, but we need to give them some more time to make a judgement, and it's too early in the season to make that judgement just yet.

Chelsea seems like they are even worse in my opinion, so at least United is doing better than them. Plus United has some players missing, after the injured players returns, maybe they will get better results as well.

The only permanent solution to Manchester United's squad would be to replace Ten Haag. Because he's been around for a long time and friendly behavior has weakened, players will only perform better if he's down. Although players may not develop a passion for the Manchester United team, it is possible to do so. Because Ten Haag's behavior is not obvious to the players, there are weaknesses, so from different angles I can understand and this will be a permanent solution.  Manchester United team will perform well only if Ten Haag is replaced by a new experienced coach.

I don't think Ten Hag will be sacked anytime soon because I guess the board will also consider the long-term plan initiated by Ten Hag. In other words, it's already absurdly wet so it would have been better to just dive in.
He's already spent quite a lot of money and also brought so many players to Old Trafford. If there is a new coach, then maybe that person may not fit in with Ten Hag's legacy, which means there will be another overhaul, and it will cost the board a lot more money.
After all, it's only been three matches, and he also hasn't had the chance to field his best squad, and their new players still need to adapt. If in the middle of the season Man United look worse, even though they are already playing with their full team, then that could be a consideration for ousting Ten Hag.

It will take a while for Erik Ten Hag to be sacked. He has been here for a good while now, and Manchester United management backs him. He also got a lot of investment done, and I believe they will make a good return once they have a fit squad. I don't think sacking Ten Hag right now is the solution. Can you really recommend a name, who is ready to be United's manager rn and deliver great performances consistently?

If and when United starts playing well, ETH probably seals a good future for him in the club, as this time in the era of football introduces us to a lot of new things - because a lot of things are evolving and reaching the next stage real soon. Everything big clubs look for right now is stability, in and out of the field, and a practice of changing managers here and there does not introduce any stability at all.

I expected Manchester United to fix things really soon and start winning games, as the players that they have are of strong mentality and a good base as a player. They won't be okay with losing constantly, that's for sure.

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.

Currently, he is the most important player in Arsenal. Odegard is the bridge between the midfielders and the attackers. A perfect midfielder in the squad. If only they knew level of damage they has done to the Arsenal squad. Arteta will be grieving in pain by now. However, if I am in Arteta's position to fix a replacement for Odegard, I would prefer Trossard to fit in that position. The reason is because he is a very adaptable player, he controls both his right foot and his left foot. Someone in that position can possibly do what Odegard has been doing in the squad. Then Arteta should push Timber a little forward to fill in Declan Rice's space. And lastly Thomas Partey will hold firmly the midfield.

[bering]

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.

According to the news i have read recently Manchester United don't want to rush to playing Rasmus Hojlund when Manchester United fight against Southampton this weekend because Ten Hag don't want to take a risk and he fear if Rasmus Hojlund played this weekend potentially can makes him to gets the injured again so that's why there is possibilities Rasmus Hojlund will not be available for the match against Southampton later or if he available then most likely Rasmus Hojlund will starting the match from the bench and will not playing full

Actually the match against Southampton is not too hard for Manchester United because we all know Southampton is not in the good condition and they had poor start this season with gets 3 losing streak and if Manchester United can able to bounce back then i am sure without Rasmus Hojlund they can earn 3 points from this match

[Baki202]

If Man United can only win against weak teams and always loses to teams that are quite strong, then it will be difficult for Man United to get a good place this season, such as fourth place. Because as far as we can see, currently there are Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle and Aston Villa which look like they will be able to compete strongly. Even Chelsea and Tottenham are still better than Man United so far. So Ten Hag's journey to bring Man United to 4th place feels like it is impossible. But basically nothing is impossible. Because they could rise from next week.

I don't think I remember which big team that they have been able to win because they could not win against Brighton and Liverpool and they were unable to defeat Manchester united and their case is beyond repair and Manchester united are just trying to act as if they are okay but they are not, and they are just trying to keep their self in the game because even result they are not getting is not a meaningful one to get them a title, it as become a responsibility they can not run away from. And from Manchester United to want to go for top four, will they be able to achieve that in this condition that they have to fight a lot of battle for them to succeed in their dream of making the top that will be a better dream for their fans. And manchester city will always lord over does club and their is nothing anyone anyone can do about it. We are the best and will always be the best and we don't have serious contenders now, and for Arsenal and Liverpool i don't see them doing nothing more than what they have done last season and Manchester City is one club that i will always  beat my chest for. Teb hag is now under pressure and the fourth position will be impossible.  And if he archives it then congratulations to him.

[nara1892]

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.

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.

Yes, this season Manchester United still looks bland, nothing impressive and as we saw last season, although the season has just started where each team has only gone through three matches but with two defeats and only one win I think at a glance I can also be sure that most likely there will be no change from Manchester United this season, in the sense that it will still be the same as last season.
Well that's it, maybe this is the last chance for Ten Hag to prove whether he deserves to survive by dominating the victory until the end of the season or until they enter the top four of the standings.
Soon they will play away against Southampton, I am really pessimistic about this away game.

Because they could rise from next week.

The defeat of Verona must have benefited them in some way, so that is good news for them.  Otherwise, he is not in the Napoli squad.  Verona, while a well-performing team, will still be beaten.  This is really surprising.  They should not weaken themselves and play with the same performance in every match.  So, obviously, they got the opportunity, they did not miss it and celebrated their victory by scoring a goal and also made people happy.  Lukaku also needs to play well or Napoli won't back up every time.  And they should become strong enough that any team that goes into the field has the ability to win matches as well as win matches.

Currently, he is the most important player in Arsenal. Odegard is the bridge between the midfielders and the attackers. A perfect midfielder in the squad. If only they knew level of damage they has done to the Arsenal squad. Arteta will be grieving in pain by now. However, if I am in Arteta's position to fix a replacement for Odegard, I would prefer Trossard to fit in that position.

Then Arteta should push Timber a little forward to fill in Declan Rice's space. And lastly Thomas Partey will hold firmly the midfield.

Honestly Odegard is a great players to Arsenal he always keeps his position very strong to avoid the linking up, because the kind attacks that is making during any of their matches is very good attacking; Arsenal can really miss the Odegard and that’s position will be link: Accept they put better squad in that position as replacements.

Arsenal start this season with so much good performances and with how they still so up their performances against any of their opponents they I have doubts that they might not face a much challenge like last season. Because Arteta knows what is right is always put much effort to make sure his teams did the best.

[hahay]

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.

I think Manchester United's attack line is also not very good because after all, if Manchester United has a consistent attack line and even  though they often concedegoals but it doesn't seem to be a problem to be consistent with three points or just one point. Because after all, if they have a consistent attack line then of course, Manchester United will have more goals than they concede.

Because in reality, at thismoment Manchester United has conceded five goals and only has two goals so far in the Premier League. Even worse, last season Manchester United actually had a result of -1 which means, Manchester United conceded more goals last season and also, at the beginning of this  season Manchester United remained consistent with conceding more goals. So,  I think it is very inappropriate if you say  Manchester United has a consistent attack line, because I think Manchester United's attack line and  defense line are still equally weak.

[KingsDen]

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.

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.

If Manchester United management comes up openly to tell their coach that his job is at stake, it means that the coach would invariably be working under duress. And no coach will achieve anything knowing too well that he is not being supported by the management. If you are a coach and you keep getting bad results, but then the management keeps backing you publicly, just know that the backing and support is not original.

Even Erik Ten Hang himself, knows that his days are numbered in the Manchester United team if he keeps getting bad result upon spending huge amount of money in the transfer market. If he is to remain the head coach of the team this season, he needs to stand up and make things right.

I really don't get everything with ten hag and Manchester united because the guy is just reducing the club everyday and the management still allows him because just like you said it was quite obvious that he was due for sack by the end of last season after performing so poorly but to my greatest surprise they still left just because he won the FA cup at the very last minute of the season MD opinion changed but playing pattern never changed and there are at their worse again seeing how they have already started the season.

[barbara44]

Erik Ten Hag definitely is not a good coach at all, he hasn't been one for a long time and he still keeps his job for some reason. Just because he managed to win the FA cup he managed to keep his position, and that last game, the final against City was a great game, probably the best game they played all year, it's a shock to the whole world that they managed to do it, nobody expected them to do something like that.

I think it's clear that we are talking about something much worse here, and I believe that they just got lucky, they almost lost to championship team before that game. In the end, Erik Ten Hag is a terrible manager and he should have been fired already but he hasn't been and lets see how he will do this season with the team he built.

I just realized that there is the youngest coach in the Premier League at the moment. Namely Fabian Hurzler. I don't follow much Brighton related news. And I just found out that Roberto de Zerbi's replacement is a very young coach. Fabian Hurzler is currently 31 years old. And I was surprised by his career record as a professional football player, which he only played until the age of 23. But he also started his career in the world of coaching at a very young age, namely in 2016. And it seems like he can become an increasingly mature coach as he gets older and has more experience in this field. It is evident that currently Brighton is also experiencing improvements after he came here.

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.

It is very disappointing and a huge blow for Arsenal at a crucial moment like this when they have to go head to head against one of their worst rivals in the premier league. I am sure the opposition fans will be so excited about the recent development. I am hopeful Merino can fill in against Spurs because I hear he is back in training or we will see a pairing of Thomas Party and Jorginho in the weekend with Ethan Nwaneri starting against Spurs.

Just like last season we have become accustomed to seeing several players returning with injuries in international breaks. And of course this is very bad news for Arsenal considering that Martin Odegaard has an important role in the Arsenal team. With this he had to be absent for several weeks. But fortunately it wasn't a more serious injury that would keep him out for longer. But still we know Odegaard is a very important player in Arteta's plans. So I'm starting to feel sorry for Arsenal right now. Arteta is trying to take this team to a better level but now one of the cogs of their team has to rest due to injury and Arsenal may be competing without Odegaard for a while. I hope he recovers quickly.

It seemed he could be expected to recover quickly. Because if you look at the report from the medical doctor for the Norwegian national team, it turns out that Odegaard only suffered a minor ankle injury. So maybe he will recover faster than we thought. But the problem is that sometimes he will be given more rest to prevent the risk of more serious injury. Mikel Arteta must be very unhappy with this news. But this is a risk that every club must bear when their players have to defend their respective national teams during the international break.

If all three players are back in training for Manchester United, Ten Hag will have good options to start the game against Southampton. It is left to Erik Ten Hag to put out a good squad and game plan to help United secure all three points in the week because as we all know that Manchester United are not in good form and are playing without a specific style or pattern. I’m not a fan of ETH so my views on his approach may seem bias.

This is a massive blow for mikel and arsenal. I just checked the arsenal squad, and it appears that there are only 22 registered players for the season excluding academy players. Odegaard happens to be the only creative AM I've seen so far. Merino is also good, but he is out injured as well. Rice is currently on a red card, which means he is going to miss the north London derby. I won't be surprise to see arteta playing a defender like Timber or Zinchenko as a new attacking midfielder in the North London derby. I won't suggest Havartz because he isn't creative, compare to Zinchenko and timber. Or he might just want to play a 4 defense, 2 midfield, and 4 attack kind of game. He just needs to figure things out, because Tottenham is a very good side, besides, it's a derby game. I just wish all the players quick recovery because we will be seeing other competitions soon.

[Huppercase]

In the end, Erik Ten Hag is a terrible manager and he should have been fired already but he hasn't been and lets see how he will do this season with the team he built.

He might be a good one but who knows what is going to happen because I go think for the board director to make him stays all this while, there might be something incredible about him that we are probably not seeing right now and it might also be that he has a contract that isn't talk about. Perhaps he is a good coach in other place but Manchester united is too big for him to coordinate and he doesn't want to step down, we have people like that which are very stubborn.

I know one thing about Erik Ten, he either finish in the top 4 and win the Europa conference League or get sack by the end of this season. There were news about him going to leave only for him to just and relax and see him again doing transfer movements of players again. For my mental health, they have spoilt my ticket multiple times, don't include them in your games or better still give them loss when they have match with big team like Manchester City or Arsenal.

[Stable090]

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.

With the way Manchester United are playing currently, they can’t get into the Champions League zone, am sure about that. Manchester United's performance is so poor, and they will struggle to win matches this season. Even weak teams will give Manchester United a difficult moment, so I am not even thinking that Manchester United will get into the Champions League zone. I see not much difference between Manchester United and Chelsea, but I will say Chelsea performance is still kind of better than Manchester United, but both of them performance has been poor since last season.
