Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Pokapoka124]

No matter how hard the attacks launched by the Man City players, it seems that they have not been able to penetrate Inter Milan's defense. This is a very tight match. They seem frustrated with the failure of their various attacks. Hopefully the next matches, it'll be much better to win the game.

Manchester City tried hard to score but Inter Milan showed how strong their defense is even from the many attacks made by Manchester City none of them resulted in goals even though I hoped there would be many goals in this match but yes even in the 2022/23 Champions League final when these two clubs met Manchester City also only scored 1 goal against Inter it was a very fierce match and I shouldn't have chosen the option of both teams scoring goals which ultimately made my parlay bet lost.

It was a very interesting encounter between the pair again after meeting in the champions league final last season both teams had a score to settle. I know many persons must have made different stakes which most will predict Manchester City to win due to their current form and Erling Haaland’s scoring streak but it was a disappointing result in the end for both teams not to score at all. Many would wish they never gave the game a second thought.

Manchester City vs Arsenal



About the percentages of winning i can see Manchester City is more good than Arsenal but i have no wonder about that because Arsenal under Arteta has poor records while met Manchester City especially at Ettihad Stadium and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume Manchester City will being an the favourite of this match

Yeah I no that Arteta against Pep Guardiola always end against Arteta because he continues to be less experience compare to Pep Guardiola but don't be surprised that Arsenal will hold them on a draw game because that is how we presume on there last meeting the previous season and they end up playing draw so the same can actually happened on this match because right now we cannot say that Arsenal is a weak team and let's not forget that they have gone through so many deprivation from the Manchester City, so they may decide to be no more longer oppress by the Manchester City, so this is a kind of match that shouldn't be judged by the Odds because even if Manchester city meet Arsenal hundred times they would always have a winning odds, so for me I would love the match to end in draw since they are both leading on the table.

There is also a piece of bad news for Chelsea about this effective player and captain Reece James. Recently everything was challenging and hard for Chelsea because they couldn't get good results and still after spending too much money this team couldn't have a good performance so far during this team.
Reece James was one of the most effective players of Chelsea but he got injured and had surgery in the past December. It seems he couldn't have a good recovery because again, he got injured and Chelsea won't be able to use Reece James for more games.

It’s really unfortunate that an important player as Reece James who happens to be the best right back in thenChelsea squad are injury prone, his frequent injuries have become a problem for the club. I can’t really figure out why the injuries keep coming. Last season I think they lost him twice to injuries for a period of time and it had a significant effect on the team’s performance. Looks like he will be missed this time once more.

Well, this is a stats below to show that Victor Oshime has been better than Nicolas Jackson even with lesser games/ minutes played. Do you sti doubt that who Chelsea needs is a clinical finisher like Victor Oshime? Create 10 chances and he'll score 8, create 5 and he's most likely to score 3 or 4 goals. You can doubts no issues, that's on you, but we know what passion, dedication and energy into clubs he has played. There's nothing wrong with his move to Galatasaray, blames are on his agent for not securing a deal for him. Won't be the first time when European clubs try to do African players this dirty. A look back will educate you. ( History )


Jadon Sancho, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkuku, and Cole Palmer are not proven strikers nor center forwards. Don't get it twisted.

I would accept any bet that he does not have a conversion rate of 80%. We can go with any five consecutive games of your choice and I bet Osimhen will not convert 8 out of 10 chances into goals. He would be outperforming Haaland and I don't have any doubts that we agree Osimhen is nowhere near the quality of Haaland. Osimhen's performance are a roller coaster at times and that's certainly not what Chelsea needs. And it is not only about Nicholas Jackson, the whole offensive for some mysterious reason doesn't play very well for Chelsea. One game they destroy their opponent, the next they tie the game or even lose against an underdog.

Guardiola always show his superiority and seniority on Arteta whenever they meet. Arteta in the other hand doesn't easily give to Guardiola. He fights and wins in individual matches but where he has a big problem is winning a trophy or winning the EPL ahead of Pep.

In this weekend match, I am not too confident in either teams. For Arsenal, they have not been great to my liking since this season started. To Manchester city, inability to get a goal in their champions league match has casted a big doubt in my mind.

[Antotena]

Some Manchester United fans are already making claims that things have changed for the better after wining two games in a row. This victory over Barnsley has really boosted up the bragging rights for Manchester United fans. I hope they win do the same when they face Crystal Palace come weekend because that will be a good test for them to prove that claim to be true, not winning against a weak Barnsley and making noise.

Southampton is sitting in relegation, even a daft person should know they can win that match. If Erik didn't win that match, he will be query by the club no matter how they like him because if other club could win Southampton, what's that thing that will cause hindrance to them from winning which they did and shouldn't be an achievement but a normal thing any serious team is capable of doing even in their worst form.

Barnsley is just another Manchester United from another dimensional domestic league and they are the worst team I have watch played this season. They can't do more than what they just display. Manchester United saw the opportunity and unleash their anger on them and they won, they better reciprocate the same zeal with Crystal Palace and Tottenham.

Yes sure. Arsenal are not a weak team; everything can happen, although Arsenal always looks like this every season. I’m not trying to say they are better than Manchester City or will be better than them, but as it is now and we can’t compare their experience with our own, I still think it won't be bad if we give Arsenal winning strict so that they both lead in the table, which makes me believe that the game will be a kind of tough match, so let's wait till then and see what will happen.

Its a quite heartbroken for a LFC fan because the way they performed in first 3 games everyone is expecting to win this game against Nott Forest but the strike at 72 minute cause a lot of trouble for LFC and also lose 3 points and lose its second position straight to 4th now in EPL.
A home ground lose at early stages effects alot.

I also didn't expect Liverpool to lose to Nottingham Forest at home even though it was only by one goal, but of course it was very detrimental to Liverpool who were trying to maintain their position while aiming for full points in every match in the Premier League. And the next match for Liverpool is hosting Bournemouth this weekend and I think Liverpool will definitely try to win with more goals for full points because if they lose at home repeatedly it will definitely be very embarrassing for Liverpool.

That match messed a lot of people up and what was worst was losing by a lone goal. Majority of gamblers played with the expectations of at least three goals in that match and for Liverpool not to even score a single goal was frustrating. Actually Nottingham Forest is doing pretty great this season for not losing any match out of their four matches so they have become a side to be careful of. Liverpool still have Bournemouth to confront this weekend and if they are not careful, they will find it extremely difficult playing their visitor who are known for being stubborn whenever they play a bigger side.

To be fair, this is what I was worried about because Inter is a strong team and the famous Italian defense showed itself in that game.

City didn't play that badly to be fair, I do not think that they played that terrible, they passed around like they always do but normally when you have a weaker team against you then you end up getting an easy score, and I believe that we are going to see that change eventually, because of that City didn't find that small "mistake" that other smaller teams do, and that is why I believe that Inter focused on defense all game long, they tried to cover each others mistakes and that is how they kept City without a score.

When you let City run, you make mistakes and you end up trying to claw back into the game and make even more mistakes. Inter knew this and that is why they did play very well and we should be seeing Inter playing like this for a long time and could do very well in UCL if they keep doing this, they got a very important point here.

I can’t really figure out why the injuries keep coming. Last season I think they lost him twice to injuries for a period of time and it had a significant effect on the team’s performance. Looks like he will be missed this time once more.

Since I became that guy fan and know him as Chelsea player was when he returned from Wigan Athletic as transfer, there has never been a season he goes without injuries, sometimes I think it's because it's the job of defenders to do anything to protect the goalkeeper but his case is different and even now if he is around, I don't think there much work and upgrade Chelsea need in their defenders. Hope he will recover and come back because Chelsea has been his home else he might be loan out again.

Maresca performance is okay to me, apart from Crystal palace match that I want impress they did well and even as people are criticizing them when they played against Manchester, there is no way they are going to win Manchester City without a fight, it's not possible unless football happen to them but they are in good track.

Arsenal are always try there possibly best against every of their opponents to make sure they succeed, that’s why we always can them a best team, to be sincere arsenal are not a weak team and anyone who try to say that they’re weak team is only said it just because he didn’t have any interest for them: Because when a person doesn’t like someone either is doing good or not it will never be him the person, exactly with the football also, although that the match will be some how tough due they have seen performances of Manchester City so far this season and that doesn’t mean arsenal really packaged to fight against any of their opponents for them to bring better outcomes to the team.

However, because Manchester City are the one leading the top of the table I think that’s what is given some people hope that there match against Arsenal won’t come easy, the match might comes easy since although that the both teams are strong and their also have better squad as you said earlier let us never make an early prediction; let wait and see what can actually happen in that very day.

About the percentages of winning i can see Manchester City is more good than Arsenal but i have no wonder about that because Arsenal under Arteta has poor records while met Manchester City especially at Ettihad Stadium and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume Manchester City will being an the favourite of this match

It Appears both teams are even preparing for this particular fixture because seeing their champions League performance, this can be the only best interpretation to such performance both team displayed at the champions League, for city, they are going to be at advantage in that they are the home team while the Gunner's will be visiting, since this season, city have literally made Etihad their strong hood and have lost no.game there just yet so I doubt if they will be giving in such chances at this, meanwhile the gunners have got the citizens as their biggest premier league rivals this season so a win against them for the gunners is such a big deal that they are going to make sure to give their very best to get, I wouldn't be surprised to see odegad been brought in that game lol, but martinelli shouldn't be played full time if Arsenal wants to really make the best of that game because he's full of too many mistakes as seen in the last two games. Last season it was a really tough one when both teams met and they had very minimal number of goals, hopefully more goal will be seen this time as Arsenal has got a pronounced weakness.

[Leviathan.007]

Anyway, good movement and development from Man United today in the EFL Cup. Where they humiliated their opponent Barnsley with a score of 7-0 without reply.

And what is interesting is the duet between Garnacho and Rashford, they both became very productive players this time.

Yep. This was Manchester United's best performance since Erik Ten Hag took charge of United. I enjoy soccer and most importantly, big scores.
We know Barnsley is a weak side, but United need games like this for the players to build their confidence and also give the youngsters some much-needed time. And Casa needed this game as well.
We can see how confident Marcus is since his goal last week.
Let's pray and see how United does against Palace in the next game.

United fans who are there all pray for Manchester United that their team will perform well but if the mastermind of the team can't apply the right strategy to the team then the team will never perform well. Manchester United have performed very poorly in the last few seasons and last season they did not have a good position in the points table due to which they failed to qualify for the Champions League this season and they qualified for the Europa League. Given their performances in the Premier League this season, I don't expect them to do well this season. The current manager has been trying to manage the team with the same strategy for years.
When his strategy isn't working, he still doesn't see that he has changed strategy. 

If some important players can be brought to Manchester United then I think Manchester United's performance can change a bit.

We all know Macshter United's coach, Ten Hag. Ten Hag made many mistakes in this team, and he caused them to lose many games during the last games. But he was not guilty of everything that happened to them because sometimes Manchester United's players had bad performances, and sometimes they just had injured players.
Now the good news for Manchester United is about their player, Mason Mount. He just played in 8 games in the last season but got injured for a long time. They didn't say when Mason Mount is going to be back in the good form but now it seems he is going to be ready until the end of September.

Inter knew this and that is why they did play very well and we should be seeing Inter playing like this for a long time and could do very well in UCL if they keep doing this, they got a very important point here.

Generally, Italian teams are very difficult to play with especially in the Champions League, they are very strong and they are used to tough play which is the main reason any team have to play gently to avoid their players getting injured; nevertheless, Manchester City’s performance was not bad, they played very well to the extent of putting a lot of effort to win the match, but Inter Milan were also well prepared to take home something, and being at home was an added advantage to them and they are lucky to end the game without conceding any goal especially as Haaland is in good form. This first match didn’t favor Manchester City, and I think Pep Guardiola removed KDB against Arsenal game on Sunday because he know that he can make it up in other Champions League matches.

Arsenal on the other hand also failed to provide a positive result against Atalanta. The match was very tough, Atalanta uses their home advantage very well and they almost defeated us Arsenal, they got a penalty in the second half but David Raya saved us and several clearance from Saliba and Gabriel. Arsenal defense again saved them from defeat.

Manchester City vs Arsenal
.......

This is still a very natural thing to happen especially with the condition of Arsenal, whose status is an away club, it is clear that their probability must be lower than Manchester City for this match.
Although in this case we realize that in the end fatigue can be one of the factors that make the conditions of this match a little more different, but in the end I think it is quite interesting to bet on Manchester City in the match later when compared to doing at Arsenal.

It is undeniable that Arsenal's odds will definitely be much higher in this match but with the condition of the players who are a little tired due to the Champions League and the player injury situation that is still disturbing for Arsenal and don't forget Rice who is still experiencing a red card penalty period, it is very difficult for Arsenal to win in the match later I think when facing Manchester City.

I think for the past three seasons now if am correct Arsenal have really been impressive despite not being able to win the premier league again for about 20 years now but they can still be hopeful because they have a nice squad but Manchester City has been a difficult team for Arsenal to beat even though Arsenal hasn't lost to them in the past 3 meetings of the both teams and from what Arsenal has shown in this beginning stage of the season will make Arsenal to be more serious about the task ahead of them and not be too reluctant about making sure to win their matches conspicuously. Arsenal and Manchester City are the two major competitors of the premier league so when they meet it will sure be an epic game to watch.

There is also a piece of bad news for Chelsea about this effective player and captain Reece James. Recently everything was challenging and hard for Chelsea because they couldn't get good results and still after spending too much money this team couldn't have a good performance so far during this team.
Reece James was one of the most effective players of Chelsea but he got injured and had surgery in the past December. It seems he couldn't have a good recovery because again, he got injured and Chelsea won't be able to use Reece James for more games.

It’s really unfortunate that an important player as Reece James who happens to be the best right back in thenChelsea squad are injury prone, his frequent injuries have become a problem for the club. I can’t really figure out why the injuries keep coming. Last season I think they lost him twice to injuries for a period of time and it had a significant effect on the team’s performance. Looks like he will be missed this time once more.

His injury history is terrible, R James has suffered at least 6 hamstring injuries in the last five seasons, and last season the Chelsea captain only appeared five times in one season. This season, R James has not played at all, due to an injury on the pre-season tour, it seems he will lose his quality if he continues to be hampered by long injuries. Real Madrid had glanced at him because he was considered a quality right-back, and planned to be used as a replacement for Carvajal in the future. So far, he has missed 6 matches, and his market value continues to decline. His contract with Chelsea is still quite long, namely until June 2028, if the injury continues, this will make it difficult for Chelsea to cash in on him.

Manchester City vs Arsenal



About the percentages of winning i can see Manchester City is more good than Arsenal but i have no wonder about that because Arsenal under Arteta has poor records while met Manchester City especially at Ettihad Stadium and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume Manchester City will being an the favourite of this match

Yeah I no that Arteta against Pep Guardiola always end against Arteta because he continues to be less experience compare to Pep Guardiola but don't be surprised that Arsenal will hold them on a draw game because that is how we presume on there last meeting the previous season and they end up playing draw so the same can actually happened on this match because right now we cannot say that Arsenal is a weak team and let's not forget that they have gone through so many deprivation from the Manchester City, so they may decide to be no more longer oppress by the Manchester City, so this is a kind of match that shouldn't be judged by the Odds because even if Manchester city meet Arsenal hundred times they would always have a winning odds, so for me I would love the match to end in draw since they are both leading on the table.

Arteta vs Pep Guardiola. That is one hell of a match. I am hoping that Arsenal will maintain their defense as strong as they should because their attack currently is very poor. The absence of Odegard has affected the team and it's today I found out. If they want to win the game, then Odegard needs to be back, and Gabriel Jesus should not start the match. I won't be surprised though that Arteta will use a three-man midfield and defense against Manchester City.

Funny enough this is the first time I am hearing about Arsenal being oppressed by Manchester City. If I remember correctly last season City and Arsenal had one draw and Arsenal won them. Again, in the community shield last season. Arsenal won against them as well. What I am saying is that the only thing that Manchester City can have against Arsenal is the fact that they have won the EPL twice since Arsenal's performance improved.

[Rockstarguy]

My prediction is City is going to drop points on Sunday. This is because Arsenal will park the bus for 90 minutes against them like what Inter did in UCL. And I'm not doubting my prediction considering Sunday's game is going to be an away game for Arsenal.

Arsenal can get some insights from last night's UCL match. City really couldn't score because Inter had a solid defense. Honestly both teams were the best in their league last season. I think this draw is fair for both teams. Although Arsenal can try to do what Inter did but I doubt they can hold City to a draw. Arsenal must be able to play a tight and solid defense like Inzaghi and I don't think Arsenal's defenders can implement that tactic. I believe City can still win the match. And even if the match ends in a draw but I don't think it will end goalless like Inter Milan.

If Arsenal can be very defensive in their game I think it will be very difficult for Manchester City to have advantage over them.The kind of strategy inter Milan used in holding Manchester City was a defensive game and this is still the same method Real Madrid Normally use against Manchester City.

 Arsenal is a strong team and I believe they can play Manchester City very well if they can be very defensive in their game. From the last game Manchester City played against Inter Milan,  Haaland who is to be Manchester City important player was not even active in his performance. The last game arsenal played against Manchester City last season ended in draw, so I believe the game won't be easy with Manchester City.

[SmartCharpa]

Manchester City vs Arsenal

This is the big match of this weekend and we all know Manchester City has gets unsatisfactory result in Champion League because they only playing draw from Inter Milan so they want to used this match to bounce back however Arsenal so far can able to managed their performance although some of their key players are got injury but Arsenal still able to gets positive results and the latest is they can win from Tottenham

The latest condition about Manchester City is their important player Kevin De Bruyne potentially will be absense for this match because of injury and if this news is true i think it could be big lost for Manchester City because Kevin De Bruyne is the key of the game for Manchester City



About the percentages of winning i can see Manchester City is more good than Arsenal but i have no wonder about that because Arsenal under Arteta has poor records while met Manchester City especially at Ettihad Stadium and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume Manchester City will being an the favourite of this match

If Manchester City is going to win against Arsenal, I don't think the absence of De Bruyne will stop them from winning the match. Guardiola brought Gundogan back to replace De Bruyne, who regularly had injuries. I think Guardiola knows what he's doing after resigning Gundogan from Barcelona, while some people believe that Guardiola did not understand what he's doing to bring another midfield player who is going to be 35 years old soon, and Gundogan is the best person to strengthen the midfield with Kovacic and Rodri are also fit to maintain the midfield position.

However, we should not assume that Manchester City is the favorite to win the next match against Arsenal because of the way they have scored goals this season, Arsenal is not a weak team compared to Manchester City, so even if Arsenal does not win the match, I do not expect them to lose because they have what it takes to win. Manchester City has not faced a strong team this season, and both teams drew their first Champions League game, I believe the next Premier League game will be a draw.
