Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Mame89]

Chelsea had some great months last season but from their player transfer strategies and players they bought recent seasons as their plan for future, they will probably struggle to build up a competitive squad in coming years. Don't have a competitive squad will harmful for their ability to compete for top positions in Premier League.

In early matches of this season, with a new head coach, Chelsea did not have convincing and impressive performances to show that they're actually ready to return to top four at the end of Premier League this season.

It must be admitted that Chelsea in recent years if you look at their transfer strategy, Chelsea really wants to build a great squad, that's why last season they didn't achieve what the coach wanted and were immediately fired. And now with a new coach, Chelsea also seems to want to build a great squad too, even though from four matches they only managed to win two matches, draw one, and lose one. However, we also can't judge the performance of this new coach because the EPL league journey is still very long.

But what I see from Chelsea so far is still not very good even though they are very active in the transfer market. Chelsea must buy senior players or players who are already experienced. If Chelsea wants to be as strong as before and can compete in the EPL, Chelsea must buy senior players with high flying hours, at least 1 to 2 players to balance it. Don't buy young players too often, it could backfire on the team itself like last season.

Because relying on Skill alone does not necessarily bring the team to victory in this modern football era, at least there must be players who are already so experienced in the Chelsea squad. For example, the senior Real Madrid players who are retained, because players are the key to success in the team itself.

On the other hand, Everton secured survival from relegation comfortably last season but they had already lost 4 games played this season and I think Everton are in deep trouble if the manager are still unable to fix their poor defense with a good solution.

I ultimately believe Everon will be fine. However, the manner in which they have lost their opening four games is infuriating. But let's take it positive. They are playing better than last season. They were starting to be productive by scoring goals. I think they can finish mid-table. That's without the points deductions like last season.

And it's also very important to remember they aren’t the first team to start this way. i called them click-bait relegation team.

Yesterday we saw the Newcastle vs Wolves match with the match ending 2-1 and victory in the hands of Newcastle, and I think it was a fairly fair victory because Wolves are a team that is not too favored, especially when compared to Newcastle. Eddie Howe's squad started the season quite well, they managed to win three of four matches without losing. Last season they finished in 7th place in the table but it looks like this season they will look different, most likely Eddie Howe will maintain their position to stay in the top four of the standings by any means to qualify for the UCL next season as they did in the last two seasons.

On the other hand, next we will see the Chelsea vs West Ham match, in this match I think I will favor Chelsea even though they will play away, because from what I see now they seem to have started to rise from the slump, last season Chelsea managed to finish in sixth place while West Ham was far below them, I can't be sure about the final score in this match, but the worst thing is sharing points.

Newcastle this season looks tough even though the strategy used by Eddie Howe's troops prioritizes quick counterattacks into the heart of the opponent's defense, not too concerned with ball possession, but it worked and was supported by the attack line, few opportunities but able to be converted into goals. Moreover, other teams must be wary of Harvey Barnes in several matches he appeared as a supersub and could trouble his opponents, as proven in the match against Wolves, he scored the winning goal. This season The Magpies and The Toon have momentum, Eddie Howe must be able to maintain it.

Regarding the Chelsea vs West Ham match, both have a chance to win because both the Blues and the Hammers started the season inconsistently. The possibility of a draw will occur at the London Olympic Stadium next week.

Since Todd Boehly's era Chelsea has spent quite a lot of money to build a new squad but in the last few seasons the project they built failed. This season The Blues are trying to rebuild a strong foundation with their new manager Enzo Maresca and it seems to be starting to be seen from several matches that have been passed even though it has not been optimal but it seems that Maresca will be able to bring his team to face the top. The competition in the Premier League is indeed very tight but I see Chelsea have the opportunity to make competition in the top six or at least be able to qualify for the European zone.

I agree with you that Chelsea also have to bring some experienced players into their squad if they really want to compete with the top teams, but it seems that I see The Blues are making a long-term plan with some of their young players who are currently decorating The Blues squad.

Arsenal played well especially for defensive problems but indeed the target from the start was only not to lose this match and I think that was proven where Arteta was quite passive by emphasizing defensive strategies in this match rather than their usual offensive schemes.

It was based because they realized there were several players who could not be forced to do so, especially with several injured players and losing Rice due to a red card, of course this made Arteta a little depressed for the players available.

But in the end 3 points they have managed to get regardless of whether it is luck or indeed Arsenal are still very strong I don't think it matters for now because after all the target of 3 points is still obtained for them and it is indeed a good thing that Arsenal have shown this week as well as being an asset for them to do the first week in the Champions League later.

Arsenal players have worked hard and they deserved the three points. The match was very tight so it was difficult for both teams to develop the game. But the high tension of the match was very enjoyable and made the match titled London Derby even more different atmosphere. So I congratulate Arteta because he was really able to mix his squad very well even though some of his mainstay players were still unable to be involved in the match.

But it's not over for them yet. Although for Tottenham this week they made this an advantage with the 3 points they got but they still have to think about the brain where the schedule will be even busier for the following weeks.

Currently they have to prepare by facing the first match in the Champions League where Atalanta will visit the Emirates Stadium and continued with the big match again against Manchester City, which is sure this will be very difficult for Arsenal to conquer.

Facing Atalanta for the first week will indeed benefit them because they play home and see Atalanta's condition, whose fate is actually not too different from them where the internal players who make Atalanta's performance decline will clearly be profitable for Arsenal. It's just that there is still a shortage of players and too much strength in the midst of the hurricane of injuries experienced by Arsenal now of course this will make them have a much greater risk, not to mention Manchester City is ready with full strength in the continued EPL week 5.

Manchester City changed their game even more in the new season and from the beginning they went ahead in the title fight. Arsenal and Liverpool competed in the previous season but were unsuccessful and continue to compete this season. But here Newcastle have really woken up their game this season and they have been playing well since the start so they are currently in a good position in the points table. They have not lost a single match so far but they are doing their best to strengthen their game and I think they will compete with the top teams.

The Manchester City team understands that the new season will be intense and the challenge in the new season will be more they made sure they start very early to change their game play so they will stay ahead of their title challengers Arsenal and Liverpool, the last two seasons it has been Pep Guardiola against Arteta and Klopp and Pep Guardiola managed to win the league the two seasons and coming to this new season where Newcastle is doing well, City wull have keep winning matches if must stay ahead of the other teams. New Castle are yet to play the top teams they will drop points once they face strong opponent in the league.

I ultimately believe Everon will be fine. However, the manner in which they have lost their opening four games is infuriating. But let's take it positive. They are playing better than last season. They were starting to be productive by scoring goals. I think they can finish mid-table. That's without the points deductions like last season.

And it's also very important to remember they aren’t the first team to start this way. i called them click-bait relegation team.

Last season, Everton actually started the season very well. But Everton's turning point came after they were sanctioned with a points deduction. And somehow since then Everton have started to lose their consistency last season. And now or this season there is something a little different about Everton. because now we see Everton starting the season not so well. But I agree that there is a positive thing shown by Everton this time, namely that they have become more productive in scoring goals. But unfortunately their defense is really bad. Because in the 4 weeks at the start of this season I can't believe Everton have conceded 13 goals. And I think that's a really pretty bad condition. And Sean Dyche must immediately improve Everton's defense line so that it is not too easy for opponents to penetrate.

Manchester City changed their gameplay? I am following the Premier League a lot and I can't see how you came to the conclusion that they changed their gameplay. Haaland began highly efficient as a striker, pretty much the same as he did last season. They usually play with overwhelming ball possession and they have Haaland in amazing shape. That's what they need to win their games. The defense could be a bit more stable and other than that they are exactly doing what they are always doing. Controlling the ball and the game and then put Haaland into perfect positions to finish the attacks.

It was Haaland who added a detail that they were missing in the past. Of course strikers like Agüero were impressive, but Haaland is another level and knows how to force the attacks to come to a finish. Otherwise Manchester City was passing the ball around too much sometimes. But this has changed ever since Haaland came into play.

Manchester City really has to focus on themselves and that's it. If they beat Arsenal in the upcoming Premier League game, the season could be looking very dark for the Premier League in regards to the title race. Manchester City would set themselves apart by quite a lot so early and especially Arsenal would have to cope with a severe setback. Dropping points against Brighton because of Rice's stupid red card and then having to swallow a defeat against the strongest competitor would be quite bad for them.

In early matches of this season, with a new head coach, Chelsea did not have convincing and impressive performances to show that they're actually ready to return to top four at the end of Premier League this season.

Sancho's debut was quite good, coming on as a substitute he was able to provide one pass for a goal. Luckily, Chelsea was able to score a goal. Bournemouth managed to put pressure on the top, making it difficult for Chelsea to build a pattern from the bottom. They forced Chelsea to make long passes, and Chelsea always lost in aerial duels. I think Chelsea haven't shown their best game yet, they were lucky enough to score 1 goal. But to face a strong team, I think Chelsea is still quite difficult.

I think Sancho is better of playing in other clybs than in Manchester united because we saw his input towards Arsenal goal as he was the one who made the assist. It shows that he will add value to the club unlike when he plays in United.

Chelsea was lucky to win their match and I will not
say that they have improved that much since Enzo Maresca took over as the club manager. I hope that Chelsea doesn't continue facing difficulties in winning big teams and the rest of their matches so that they can be able to finish on top four and qualify for the champion league.

Great players seemed unable to show their maximum performance when they were at Manchester United. But as soon as they went to another club and played for another club, we immediately saw that the Man United players were able to display their maximum performance. And actually it's not just Sancho but that also happens to several other players.

Sancho made a brilliant debut and to be honest he looks right at Chelsea.

[mamesso]

The Premier League will feature one of the biggest games of the season, after facing Atalanta in the Champions League, Arsenal will face Manchester City at the Etihad stadium in a battle for top spot. Currently, Man City still dominates the top of the standings (12) points, followed by Arsenal in second place (10) points. Although the mentality of Arsenal players has been getting stronger since the last two seasons and this season has also brought in new players in the transfer market, Man City is still very difficult to beat, especially since Haaland has found his best form again this season, he has already managed to score 9 goals and 2 hat tricks in four matches.

Will Guardiola be able to make his team even more solid in first place after this match or will Arteta give Man City its first defeat and seize its position at the top of the standings?

[Cookdata]

I ultimately believe Everon will be fine. However, the manner in which they have lost their opening four games is infuriating. But let's take it positive. They are playing better than last season. They were starting to be productive by scoring goals. I think they can finish mid-table. That's without the points deductions like last season.

And it's also very important to remember they aren’t the first team to start this way. i called them click-bait relegation team.

I'm not sure there is any club with consistent loss will have enough steeze to continue, 4 loss is worry some but the fact that Everton got demoted by 10 points last season and they were still able to pass relegation check proves they are going to be fine but atleast there should be a breaking point where they call a spade a spade. Even Nottingham and Leicester that do follow up each other close to relegation zone are having some improvements.

Am I the only person that also noticed Nottingham having a nice time on the table. They are good but never will you see them having nice time on the table to say that they are even ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea is intriguing, you can't just make call on some clubs sometimes and that's why many bettors loss money last week and last two weeks, how can Liverpool lose to them is surprising.

Will Guardiola be able to make his team even more solid in first place after this match or will Arteta give Man City its first defeat and seize its position at the top of the standings?

Arsenal mentality and also performance will be tested when playing against Atalanta later in the Champions League, two teams from different countries and have the same ambition to win the first 3 points in the Champions League, of course, will present a fairly fierce match later, Atalanta was the champion of the Europa League last season while Arsenal, who were the runners-up in the Premier League last season, of course will not waste the match later to start their journey in the Champions League this season well.
The match between Manchester City and Arsenal will be the second toughest match Arsenal will play after the north London derby, although their mentality has improved after the victory over Tottenham Hotspur but the depth of the Arsenal squad ahead of the big match should be worth Arteta attention,Arsenal was able to win 3 points  in Tottenham in the previous match but we know what quality Manchester City has at the moment that makes their possible to beat Arsenal in the match, facing Guardiola squad with a full squad still does not promise Arsenal can get 3 points, then how good are their chances of winning in that the match when Arsenal is in a limp condition at the moment?

The competition between these two teams is always interesting and is a strong candidate to win the EPL this season. Manchester City is very strong and of course must be able to motivate Arsenal to be able to defeat the existence of its tough rival. I really want The Gunners to be able to get full points in order to produce tight competition in the EPL standings. But if Arsenal loses, it will be very strong for any team to stop the progress of Gundogan and his friends.

Manchester City changed their game even more in the new season and from the beginning they went ahead in the title fight. Arsenal and Liverpool competed in the previous season but were unsuccessful and continue to compete this season. But here Newcastle have really woken up their game this season and they have been playing well since the start so they are currently in a good position in the points table. They have not lost a single match so far but they are doing their best to strengthen their game and I think they will compete with the top teams.

The Manchester City team understands that the new season will be intense and the challenge in the new season will be more they made sure they start very early to change their game play so they will stay ahead of their title challengers Arsenal and Liverpool, the last two seasons it has been Pep Guardiola against Arteta and Klopp and Pep Guardiola managed to win the league the two seasons and coming to this new season where Newcastle is doing well, City wull have keep winning matches if must stay ahead of the other teams. New Castle are yet to play the top teams they will drop points once they face strong opponent in the league.

Thanks to consistently winning 4 matches, Man City is currently firmly at the top of the standings with 12 points, it is only natural that Pep Guardiola squad is now flooded with praise. However, they should not be arrogant about this achievement because the points difference is still too small, and considering the journey is still quite long ahead. As a manager, Pep Guardiola is very fortunate because almost all of his players are available without injury and sanctions, except for Oscar Bobb. This is the main factor in Man City being able to maintain its good performance, as well as being valuable capital to play the Champions League match against Inter Milan.

Regarding the competition for the Premier League trophy this season, Man City will clearly be under great pressure, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea are always ready to do it throughout the season. Even teams like Tottenham, Newcastle, Aston Villa also have the potential to be stumbling blocks on the journey later, but personally I still believe Pep Guardiola squad is able to handle it well. But that is only a prediction, which is very possible that the competition map will change again, and it is possible that in the future the team that is not favored will take over the top of the standings. In addition, the increased number of matches in European competitions this season has the potential to disrupt the stability of a team in their respective domestic competitions. This will benefit teams that only focus on domestic competitions.

[Pokapoka124]

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.

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 are lacking in defense, this has been a major problem in the team for a while. In the past windows the club has improved their midfield and attack by bringing in a number of good players in those positions and today Chelsea have a good attack and midfield combination, what is left now is to focus on their defense line and improve in that aspect. Currently in the premiership league Arsenal have the best defense judging from their performance last season and so far this season.

[Baki202]

The Manchester City team understands that the new season will be intense and the challenge in the new season will be more they made sure they start very early to change their game play so they will stay ahead of their title challengers Arsenal and Liverpool, the last two seasons it has been Pep Guardiola against Arteta and Klopp and Pep Guardiola managed to win the league the two seasons and coming to this new season where Newcastle is doing well, City wull have keep winning matches if must stay ahead of the other teams. New Castle are yet to play the top teams they will drop points once they face strong opponent in the league.

This season is looking very different from last two seasons and this season looks more terrifying but we can handle anything no matter what it is, and I love the fact that rice and Odegaard are absent in their last match and since rice might be present in the next one but Odegaard been is still going to be abesent in the next game so even Saka won't be that functional because of Odegaards absence, we meeting them in this condition is actually a good one. Arsenal and Liverpool have been a problem because even last season was a close one because if not that arsenal lost against Aston villa it would have been a different story by now, this are clubs that we have to be very careful about this time around also. Newcastle this is not their first time of them doing all they can but they still don't go far.

And I love the step we are taking to get more points to our side now because before the league gets intense we have gone to far for any club to get close to us and this is a strategy that we have been using for a very long time now. For now a lot of clubs are still very behind and they might still find it very hard to be able to catch up with us and we can not afford to lose or even underestimate any club, I don't know why am not yet comfortable with this season yet and Haaland have a good start already.

[Leviathan.007]

Tottenham Hotspur have every means to get an equalizer with the midfielders Arsenal had, Partey and Jorginho are not fast when tracking back and with the absence of Rice I was expecting Spurs to capitalize on that but they didn't. The second half was a bit tough, no Saka with the special skill even Martinelli was absent not until we saw Sterling and Jesus came in, they added a little force with the time remaining and the Arsenal midfield was going down without gaining control of the ball like they did in the first half and the attacking department of Spurs isn't something you use to play against Arsenal, Spurs need to do better than they did today. The Gunners have all 3pt but they need to do better when they did against a team that is completely not fit, that's a narrow win but a win is a win, let's see how Arteta manage his team in the next game against the champions Man City.

Arsenal's performance was not very good, but they got the three points that mattered and are now in second, just behind Manchester City pending their game next week. If Tottenham could not win Arsenal in the condition Arsenal are in, I doubt that they would be able to win them when they have every player fit and ready for selection by their coach. These kinds of games where Arsenal wins are the games where the hopes of the supporters are really kept high in expectation that this is the season.

In my opinion, Arsenal tried. I saw that the combination of players in the game has not been set like that before. It wasn't easy playing Timber in Rice's position and Trossard in Odegard's position. But they all tried to fit in and won the game even if it was a difficult one for the players. However, big thanks to Big Gabby who scored the winning goal and defended his goal with so much energy. Indeed he was the man of the match. Meanwhile, I won't deny that Jorginho and Partey did a very good job in the midfield today. Am very proud of them because the midfield was held mature since the ball was played mostly in the midfield. They played completed 90 minutes even after the workload on them was too much in the game. They have to remain and sometimes go back and forth.

I still see it will be a very difficult road for Arsenal. Their next game is closed and most of the injured players are not ready for any match yet. The last info on Odegard is that the injury is not clear yet and no hope yet. Saka was unable to continue the game and who knows if he will be fit for next match.

Tottenham lost the derby but it was something I was predicting to see from Arsenal and their coach Arteta because they are still in the good form and we know the only team to stand against then is definitely Mancshter City not a team like Tottenham even with all the hard work they can do.
We saw a true war in this match and even people saw Leandro Trossard the player of Arsenal have to change his shirt which shows how hard he had to fight in this match. the match between these two teams was always interesting to watch and important in which Arsenal won the game with a 1-0 result.

[hahay]

On the other hand, Everton secured survival from relegation comfortably last season but they had already lost 4 games played this season and I think Everton are in deep trouble if the manager are still unable to fix their poor defense with a good solution.

I ultimately believe Everon will be fine. However, the manner in which they have lost their opening four games is infuriating. But let's take it positive. They are playing better than last season. They were starting to be productive by scoring goals. I think they can finish mid-table. That's without the points deductions like last season.

And it's also very important to remember they aren’t the first team to start this way. i called them click-bait relegation team.

Although Everton lost these first four matches but for me, the crushing defeat that Everton received was only in the first two matches when they lost with a score of 0-3 against Brighton and 4-0 against Tottenham. Because, in the two matches after that match, in fact against Bournemouth  and against Aston Villa although Everton lost, but Everton managed to make a goal  first and even, Everton also had the lead with a score of 2-0 but unfortunately, at the end of the match the score became 3-2 and Everton again and again received defeat.

But at least, with these efforts, it can be said that Everton was able to recover but indeed, it is a pity that Everton did not have a good defense so Everton always failed to maintain the victory it had obtained. But even so,  I am sure over time Everton will manage to recover and get out and maybe stay away from the relegation zone.

Manchester City is very strong and of course must be able to motivate Arsenal to be able to defeat the existence of its tough rival. I really want The Gunners to be able to get full points in order to produce tight competition in the EPL standings. But if Arsenal loses, it will be very strong for any team to stop the progress of Gundogan and his friends.

Before the meeting of these two teams in week 5, both Arsenal and Manchester City will first play in the Champions League. Of course, the focus of both teams is on that competition, before returning to play in the Premier League. However, if we talk about the City vs Arsenal match which will be held at the Etihad Stadium. Honestly, I don't have much expectation, especially with Arsenal's current condition. Odegaard is certain to still be absent, Saka's status is doubtful, several newcomers have not recovered from their injuries. Rice, I don't know if he will still be absent. Well, it's not an ideal condition for Arsenal to play against Manchester City. Even if Arsenal played their full main players, it is not certain that the Gunners could provide a tough fight when competing. Moreover, with Arsenal's current condition, it is clear that City is increasingly favored by bookies. That's why, I'm not sure even though anything can happen in football. Well, before this match arrives, it would be better if we just follow the two teams that will compete in the Champions League.
