Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Manchester United must still work hard in order to turn into a force that can duel and excel in matches against big teams. Despite the fact they have been in a position to earn victories in games against other small teams, the outcome has not been good enough to build confidence and stand in the leagues. The next matches in September will be very important to determine whether or not they can change their ranking. Some people argue that the current manager has failed to provide positive changes as expected, hence the need to employ a manager capable of bringing profound changes to the team and meet the expectations of the fans.

Manchester United have been working hard to become a title contender in the Premier League, but their efforts have been in vain because they are being handled by an incompetent coach. Victory over a small team is just entertainment, the real test is when facing a bigger team. Manchester United's journey is still very long, there are so many important matches in the EPL and Europa League that will await them. Competing for the top four is very difficult if their performance continues like this, especially since they have suffered two defeats in their last four games.

There is no other choice, Ten Hag must be fired immediately because he has failed to handle Manchester United well, there has been no significant change in Manchester United performance even though he has entered his third year as coach. Appointing a new coach is the best option to save the club so that it can improve its position in the standings.

Chelsea can beat Manchester City but they need to improve their strategy. Chelsea has good players but their coach needs to make their defense.. midfield and attack stronger. Arsenal defense is very strong as seen in their 1-0 win against Tottenham, even when some players were injured. Chelsea can learn from Arsenal defense. Chelsea inconsistency is problem and their coach needs to fix it.
Chelsea coach should study Arsenal defense and use similar Chelsea needs to score goals when they have chances especially in important games. Team mindset and discipline are crucial in big games.

Chelsea will not able to beat Manchester City, their last won were in 2021, it has been 3 years!

2021 is when Tuchel still become a coach and full of senior players, while now most of them are young players and their quality is very bad compared to Manchester City. Regardless they will play in Stamford Bridge or away, it doesn't change the results.

Chelsea currently don't have a great squad, but at least there are few good players they have, but it's not enough.

It would have been wonderful if Manchester united can continue with the kind of performance that tgey displayed yesterday at all time whether playing against big clubs or small clubs. Southampton just came back from relegation and I don't expect anything much from them.

This victory is honestly not a big surprise because basically Southampton is not a tough club in the Premier League and it should be for Manchester United to beat them and steal those 3 important points because if Manchester United loses it will be very painful for them and Manchester United will disappoint their fans even more.
I'm tired of hoping for Manchester United every time they are praised after getting a good result they will disappoint in the next match so honestly Man United's performance is still doubtful and betting on this club will make us a little frustrated.

While it's true that Manchester United's performance has been inconsistent, it's worth noting that football is an unpredictable game. The inconsistency can be due to several factors such as the player's form, injuries, or the game strategy. Therefore, it's not always about the strength of the opposing team, but also how well the team plays on that particular day. I agree that Manchester United should ideally beat clubs like Southampton considering their potential and quality, but it's not always a guarantee in football. However, I understand the frustration of fans when the team does not live up to the expectations, especially after a good game. As for betting, I would suggest that it's always a risk and should be done responsibly.

Nottingham Forest broke quite the record in the weekend as they defeated Liverpool at Anfield. It’s never an easy fixture playing against Liverpool at home. I’m sure the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid can testify to that fact but Nottingham Forest were brave enough to get victory for the first time in 55 years. Kudos to Espirito Santos for this great achievement, this victory will be savored in the history of the club. I don’t think Arne Slot competence is going be questioned because of this loss at home. It’s too early to judge his performance at the club, the fans and management will probably give him till the end of the season and see where he takes them.

The lost surprising result of the weekend was Liverpool's home defeat to Nottingham Forest - a result that handed the visitors their first win at Anfield in 55 years. We all have seen how impressive the Liverpool manager new manager Arne Slot have been before that game but losing to an average team like Nottingham Forest was the least expected.
Now, I'm asking if the defeat Liverpool suffered from Nuno Espirito Santo's men should be a huge concern for the club's manager Arne Slot.

Yes, both of us put our hopes so that our favorite club can win the match but we cannot predict or determine the final result as you have said and that is very true, sometimes the club we choose is a reliable opponent club but what can we do in a football match there must be small surprises that can make our feelings tense, and it is not certain that a club that is not familiar with them cannot beat their favorite club and this can be said as luck for the extraordinary skills and hard work in the club.

I was very surprised by the performance of Nottingham Forest players against Liverpool. This team has performed well. I would say no one expected such a result of the match. A lot of gamblers lost their money in this match I am sure.

Nottingham Forest were tactical in this match. At the same time the players were confident. Their only aim was to keep their defense strong. And the players of Nottingham Forest played defensively in the entire match. However, this team tried to score several times by counter-attacking. And they succeeded in the 72nd minute. Odoi's goal gave Nottingham Forest the lead.

But Liverpool's players could not score any goal despite attacking a lot. Moreover, Liverpool played a bit cautiously in this match. Because coach Arne Slot is more serious about the Champions League match at the moment. So Liverpool players did not give full effort against Nottingham Forest. This could also be one of the reasons for their defeat.

I have been noticed that when Manchester United can beat Southampton several days ago Ten Hag was made replacement for several players such as Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez and the update about their conditions is Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez still uncertain which mean Manchester United medical team still analyzed their injury whether they got minor injury or serious injury but luckily for Matthijs de Ligt because he didn't gets serious injury and in the good fitness

Just like we all know previously Manchester United have already to lost Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia and Victor Lindelof so these situations makes Ten Hag worried because he was fear Manchester United will facing again injury storm just like last season

However today Manchester United will playing against Barnsley for 3rd round of Carabao cup and to ensure all of the players in the good fitness i think Ten Hag should be rested some players and do the rotation and playing with some of reserved players or young players for this match because Manchester United has tight schedules and this weekend they will fight against Crystal Palace

Taking a flash check about their head to head, Liverpool have dominated the stats with most wins while Nottingham Forest have settled for major losses. We never walk alone, the atmosphere was completely in suspense because they were unable to record top winning. Liverpool headcoach, Arne Slot was surprised to experience his first defeat of the season, this time is not an elite club to hand them over loss of three points at Anfield. EPL top clubs are bound to record defeats against oppositions. Nottingham Forest was competent to withstand the pressure from home side, accolades for the entire team and most importantly, Nuno Herlander Santo. Arne Slot is the main man for managerial role for Liverpool, we do not subscribe to the idea of just a defeats, even Pep Guardiola often records defeats. Arne Slot is new to the EPL system, he just needs time to build the club to become forward and formidable.

Manchester United cannot be happy with being able to beat Southampton even though with a fairly satisfactory score, It is true what you said they still have to be able to work hard to compete better with other big teams. Their previous victory was not enough to bring them to a profitable point, because they are still in a poor ranking so they have to be able to be better to get a profitable ranking but I don't think it's easy.
Apart from that, Man United fans certainly hope that their proud team can return to its glory again, but indeed their Manager is in the spotlight because he has been labeled as failing to bring Man United better or back to its glory days. I myself think Man United will find it difficult to return to its glory days.

Manchester United have weakly opponent team last match after success defeating Southampton over 3-0 but can't guarantee with upcoming they have consistent performance keep in the winning result. On game weeks 5, Manchester United will face Crystal Palace have not quit well performance in last four matches without winning any one match yet but its can't guarantee for United easily with three points achievement.

Tomorrow night, Manchester United have EFL Cup third round match against Barnsley F.C as football league one team and Erik ten Hag seems will use his second composition player for this match, have few days left recovery for Premier League upcoming match against Crystal Palace I think Erik ten Hag won't take risk by using primary players for EFL Cup third round match although Manchester United have motivate for winning all competition in this season.

It was unexpected that Liverpool lost to a weak team, but sometimes it happens when the underdog manages to defend well and take the chance to score a goal, maybe this was just such a game, but in any case it is a step back for Liverpool in the title race and City are now three points ahead of them, which is quite significant. I think City will gradually increase their advantage and will go further, unless Arsenal can hold on to them, but after the last game with Tottenham I am not so sure about that.

I don't see underdogs in the Premier League Competition no more, they're always good and ready to fight. The win Manchester United had against Southampton is a step forward. They've recently had two steps backwards with that double lose from Liverpool and Brighton. It's all fine and dandy if you don't want to believe that they can make it to the top four clubs at the end of the season. Everyone is entitled to his own opinions and that's fine and normal. They'll be facing Barnsley tonight at Old Trafford, this could be another game for them to build momentum gradually.
I remember how he ( Erik Ten Hag did in his first season ) but no more excuses in his third season in charge, Champions League qualification is a must.

[Iranus]

Chelsea struggled in the game because they were not clinical and Bournemouth almost took advantage of that but they failed to score a goal despite having lots of chances to score. Chelsea were lucky to win and everything changed when they made couple of changes and the substitute players brought strength to the squad. Nkunku, Sancho, Felix and Tosin deserves a spot in the starting lineup because players like Jackson, Madueke and Fofana are not consistent enough with their performance. I applaud Sancho for turning things around and making good contribution to the team and Nkunku deserves a start ahead of Jackson because he has proven himself countless times that he is a better goal scorer than Jackson.

if we put it generously, we have to say that the start from The Blues has not been the best. Yes, defense has been a problem.
But using that excuse is definitely not going to be enough. If Enzo Maresca keeps using this excuse, they will keep performing badly.
Instead of using this excuse, the attacking lineup has to do better. So that they can actually improve.

It looks to be hard for Enzo Maresca to actually finish in the top four positions this season, to be honest.
I assume if they actually had not fired Mauricio Pochettino, they would have started the season in a better way.

Anyway, I am pretty sure The Blues is not going to finish in the top four. I am also not going to be surprised if they do not finish in the top six positions as well.


The Funniest part of this match Anthony Taylor showed 8 Y cards to Chelsea and 6 Bournemouth players got yellow card. lol,
For the whole 90 minutes, I thought this Anthony Crazy Taylor should have given himself a Yellow card too.

The victory over Southampton is something that should motivate ten hag after what Manchester United achieved in the previous 2 matches, although the match was not a difficult match for them but as a coach who considers himself the best in the Premier League then ten Hag should realize that the victory over Southampton still does not make them worthy of being the favorite this season,  there are still some problems in their attacking line that have not been seen to be able to maximize every opportunity that exists in every game they play, so Ten Hag still needs to evaluate the performance of his current attackers if they want to be able to continue to compete this season, in terms of defense of course the presence of Matthijs de Ligt and Ugarte will be able to make their defense very solid although sometimes Manchester United defense still often makes mistake which the actual can still be avoided.

Achieving 3 points over Southampton should be a motivation for the Red Devils squad in the next match, but for now it is important for the coach to focus on improving the mentality and stamina of his players to face the schedule that is starting to be tight ahead in the European league, EFL and also the English league.

Chelsea currently don't have a great squad, but at least there are few good players they have, but it's not enough.

This is true Chelsea is still way behind Manchester City in defense and the midfield is still in similar state while the attack is okay only lacking a proper 9, Jackson is still very much unreliable.

This is the main reason I don't think Chelsea will be able to get a win this season against Manchester City, maybe a draw would be possible except Chelsea put on an excellent performance with the likes of Recce James and Latvia in the game, I doubt Chelsea would have a win against Manchester City.

Though against other teams like Liverpool and Manchester United, Chelsea has a better chance while Arsenal would also a difficult one to get a win.

there's nothing like an underdog again in football, almost all the teams have stepped up thier games and are all aiming for a good fight with whatever opponents there are fixed against and if you underate any of them, you're risking getting a tough result from such games. It's going to be part of what soke clubs will face when they eventually starts resting some players because of the multiple leagues that are up and running and they wouldn't want to get into fatigue. Smaller teams will take advantage of that opportunity and might punish them real good. Manchester United with her inconsistent performance should be playing like an underdog knowing that any team that steps up her game against them have an higher chance of winning the game. Thier last win is a booster for them but that's not a good enough encouragement for me to know that they've gotten back to thier winning ways even though the likes of rashford really stepped up in that game. Even though they are the better side to win against Barnsley in this EFL cup, they have to woro on winning it convincing it will help prepare thier mind against thier next two tough games in the EPL.

I remember how he ( Erik Ten Hag did in his first season ) but no more excuses in his third season in charge, Champions League qualification is a must.

let's not be too early to expect that manchester united can make it to the top four because it doesn't look realistic with what we're seeing now. The top four spot is going to be for arsenal, man city, Liverpool and another team. Do you think man united will be that other team?

Chelsea currently don't have a great squad, but at least there are few good players they have, but it's not enough.

It will a big shock if it happens that Chelsea beats Manchester city with this their current form and players. A lot of gamblers will lose their bets because most people will not bet on Chelsea to win the match because City is the strongest and Pep knows the weak point of Chelsea which is Palmer.

The moment Palmer is macked with two players, Chelsea performance will drop and it will be difficult for them to win City. However, if Chelsea is in a good form they can fight for a draw.

[Rampagoe004]

This is true Chelsea is still way behind Manchester City in defense and the midfield is still in similar state while the attack is okay only lacking a proper 9, Jackson is still very much unreliable.

This is the main reason I don't think Chelsea will be able to get a win this season against Manchester City, maybe a draw would be possible except Chelsea put on an excellent performance with the likes of Recce James and Latvia in the game, I doubt Chelsea would have a win against Manchester City.

Though against other teams like Liverpool and Manchester United, Chelsea has a better chance while Arsenal would also a difficult one to get a win.

Chelsea should be able to match Manchester City both in defense and standings this year. In the unfavorable conditions that Chelsea have to meet Manchester City in this match, there is a big chance of victory going to Manchester City by fielding a complete set of players.
It is very difficult to win matches for Chelsea this season, the strong reason for this is that they have 2 players Recce James and Latvia in the match as the key to the game. However, even though the chances are small, there is still hope for Chelsea to win this match.

[Amphenomenon]

if we put it generously, we have to say that the start from The Blues has not been the best. Yes, defense has been a problem.
But using that excuse is definitely not going to be enough. If Enzo Maresca keeps using this excuse, they will keep performing badly.
Instead of using this excuse, the attacking lineup has to do better. So that they can actually improve.

Enzo Maresca's doesn’t know that there have been decisions which he had made that we Chelsea fans had hate him for,  if he doesn't do well we won't even bother speaking of him getting out of our club. The defense as been disappointing right from pre season and that was the main reason I'm angry he didn't give Chalobah a chance.

Though I didn't watch the first half but watching the second half, I will say Colwill is becoming better, did block some shots to the goal, Chelsea where more on trying to attack but it seems like the midfield was lost, we often get the ball in the defense and then try to drive forward thanks to Sancho. This is another reason to miss Conor Gallagher.

Jackson should accept he is unreliable and try to improve, I will critise him more now for his consistency after he insulted  Mikel Obi because he spoke of Chelsea signing a better striker like Osimhen and now after two games he is playing rubbish, can't even hold the ball like how Nkunku did to get a goal while my issue with Felix is that he falls too much, he also had better chances of scoring if not for him falling.

It looks to be hard for Enzo Maresca to actually finish in the top four positions this season, to be honest.
I assume if they actually had not fired Mauricio Pochettino, they would have started the season in a better way.

Anyway, I am pretty sure The Blues is not going to finish in the top four. I am also not going to be surprised if they do not finish in the top six positions as well.

Last season we wanted Pochettino out but towards the season ending things became better, we could get wins with the team playing much better, our midfield was more solid than this, the defense was better and this is excluding Thiago Silva who has always been the heart of Chelsea defense till he left, Chalobah was able to get himself in the starting Xi, things were getting better we almost got a Europa League spot and we where  hoping to make top 4 this season but now we're back to accepting another season of finishing 6th as an excellent position.

[iamsange]

Manchester United have been working hard to become a title contender in the Premier League, but their efforts have been in vain because they are being handled by an incompetent coach. Victory over a small team is just entertainment, the real test is when facing a bigger team. Manchester United's journey is still very long, there are so many important matches in the EPL and Europa League that will await them. Competing for the top four is very difficult if their performance continues like this, especially since they have suffered two defeats in their last four games.

It will not be easy for Manchester United to be in the top four positions in the Premier League this season if the condition of their own team is still worse than last season. Because in the Premier League every team always needs extra energy and methods to get better results so that every coach must be able to be great in developing his own tactics for the team he trains. Meanwhile, the Manchester United coach is not like that so the hope of being in the top four at the end of the season will still be quite difficult for them because other teams continue to show better progress in every match.
