Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[punk.zink]

Liverpool had to come from behind after conceding an early goal which was ruled out by VAR to leading by 3 goals to nil against Bournemouth. Thanks to Diaz two brace up goals. Bournemouth are just playing into  Liverpool's hand like just look at that third goal from Nunez, a goal with his weak foot from the edge of the area.

At the moment it's Liverpool 3:0 Bournemouth, for it would have been a 4th before the end of first half from M.Salah  at the 39th minutes but he was just casual with ball as he gave a floppy shot into the hands of the Bournemouth keeper.  Feels like Bournemouth are innocently receiving punishment for Liverpool's 0:1 lost to Nottingham forest last weekend

Amazing amazing results from Liverpool there at the end of the first half, after the cancelled goal from of Bournemouth, I see that Liverpool became powered even more and had their game on an even fast move that got them two goals and a very quick successive intervals, Diaz is looking like he's hoping to get a hat trick off this game, his attempts and moves so far has been really brilliant and Bournemouth seem to lack the defensive strength to resist them enough, one more goalie in anticipation in the second half for Liverpool and chances are Bournemouth may not get a goal as Liverpool is utilizing their home advantage maximally.

This game will be an easy win for Liverpool. They were too strong for their opponent and it seemed they would not stop at just 3 goals. Maybe this will be a stage for a massacre. That stands to reason considering Liverpool are in a good phase after they got a win when they visited San Siro. It's actually quite a shame that they had to slip up when played against Nottingham Forest, so it is enough to tarnish their good trend.

Liverpool are currently on fire, two quick goals from Diaz to make it 2 - 0 Vs Bournemouth.

In London, Tottenham are currently leading Brentford by 2 goals to 1

The first half of Liverpool added to the advantage scored by Nunez in the 37th minute, it was clear the reds dominated the game, and now the second half has started the score is still 3-0, I think Arne Slot's troops will add more to the number of excellence because Bournemouth still can't keep up with the game run by Liverpool.
Regarding tottenham vs brentford, the score is still 2-1 in favor of the spurs in this second half, both teams look balanced even though tottenham is superior in opportunities, but I still believe brentford will catch up with the score, we'll see until the end of the match.

 Liverpool aren't willing to repeat the mistake they did the last weekend when they underestimated Nottingham Forest and decided now to score goals. Even though Bournemouth had the lead through Semenyo's goal in the 4th minutes, it was later cancelled and that was what prompted Liverpool to get up and for me, it's how quick the goals came in that dampened Bournemouth's fighting resolve.
Another game that is pissing me off is the Everton vs Leicester game. This is the third consecutive time that Everton are having the lead but later go on to miss three points because they can't defend properly. How can a team who have had the lead from 12' of the first half just become careless? As it is, they are warming the relegation seat and I don't know who to lay the blame on, whether the coach or the players or what?

But it's sad, Chelsea is already taking the lead in today's game against West Ham with 2 goals to Nill currently in less than 19 minutes, of which is obvious with the attack force of Jackson today, who has just scored 2 goals (i.e first at 4 and 18 minutes respectively), this game is likely to end 90minutes still in favour of Chelsea, since they currently have the most ball possession and shots on target, including a good defense squad in this game. Because, though many people may have underestimated Chelsea's performance in today's game, I'm happy it's going as predicted. (2 odds justified..)

However, Jackson seems to be the man of this game.. lolz

Jackson literally running through the west ham's defense, makes me doubt if he is the same Jackson we used to watch. I love the way he choose to make his runs today, without even selecting which foot to kick the ball with. I didn't expect him to take that shot that gave Chelsea the lead, as the ball swiftly went pass Areola. Though I've always known Areola(west ham GK) as a bad 1v1 stopper. I wonder why fabianski isn't even starting ahead of him. I also heard the commentator stating that Nicholas Jackson made his 50th appearance for the club today. What a way to celebrate with 2 goals. Maybe Jackson choose to act like a proper striker today, because on a regular day, he could've missed the second 1v1 against Areola. I noticed he tried a trivela shot that beat pass Areola easily. Unfortunately, I didn't watch the build up to palmer's goal. Congrats to him and Chelsea for securing all 3 points.

[Obari]

I'm glad to see Nicolas Jackson scoring some good goals and giving a brilliant assist. He has been proving that he deserved the extension of his contract. I liked his speed, ball control and tactical skills. Coach Enzo Maresca has started developing a team to compete with other top clubs. The good part of this team is that they created and utilised a few opportunities. Before now Chelsea created so many chances and failed to utilise much. West Ham had more ball possession and had more shots but didn't convert these chances. It has not seen Chelsea in the top three in the table for a long time, so seeing them occupying the third position is a welcomed development. Maybe Todd Boehly will change his decision to sell off his shares in the club.  

Big congratulations to the new Chelsea boss, who's the first manager to win 3 straight away games since 2016 in the English Premier League. There's certainly streak winnings for the Blues, watching the players, everything run smooth and efficient. Chelsea supporters are extremely happy with the new development of Enzo Maresca. This is what it means for an elite club to stand strong enough with addition of tactical formation. Accolades goes to Nicolas Jackson with a brace in the first half and Cole Palmer sealed the winning in the early minutes of the second half. A half way for the Hammers but could have bend on draw points but resisting forces from the visitors kept them on the losing sides.

He is playing for the best team in a weak league. I don't know what you think how a person or a professional sports player can make any progress, but do you think that a top player can get any better when he is playing in a relatively weak league, but the best team in that league? Osimhen won't make any progress and by the way, he isn't 20 anymore. He is going to be 26. Playing for Galatasaray when he could actually be playing for the best teams in one of the best leagues in Europe, it's a drama for his personal development .

I disagree with your assessment of Victor Osimhen actually playing in weak league, yes the competitiveness in this league cannot be compared to that of the English premier league but the league is also competitive not that only the Galatasaray wins in every season, the likes of Fernabache also are a good clubs that we usually see often in the European competitions. As for Osimhen moving there it was never part of the players plan at this stage to h go to turkey’s league but he unfortunately had no choice, he had already missed out on the summer move to his favorite clubs and had no choice again but to either go to Turkey or sit at for the next  6 months. As for improvement he will certainly improve his personal game by playing against different opponents which are most it tough than some EPL teams, also he could develop his scoring ability there and then bring it to Chelsea if he gets to sign for them later, this Loan move is just to keep him fit for the next six months and nothing more

The Turkish Super league is ranked behind England, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium and Czechia. Are you seriously trying to tell me that the league is strong or anywhere, even anywhere close to what Osimhen would be exposed to in terms of the quality of the game in England or Italy (where he actually came from, leaving Napoli)?

You are entitled to have your own opinion, but make sure that it doesn't lack significant substance. I never said Turkey is amateurish league, but I am saying that it's a different world and certainly not only culturally, but the level of professional football is far far below that of the European top leagues.

Wolves may literally loose this game as they are now two goals behind Aston Villa in the extra minutes of the game, Aston Villa is dominating so brilliantly that they may not give wolves the chance to further score any goal, I don't know why 13minutes of added time was given in that game, and now it feels like its an advantage for Aston vila and they are at home, winning at home is literally a good and interesting feel.

In the first half of the game, it was feeling like wolves where going to give Aston Villa a really tough time but I'm impressed that Aston Villa was able to do better in the second half but then I'm still trying to understand why exactly wolves is struggling this hard with their performance this season and are declining too badly, they have literally won no game this season, they drew only one and lost all other game and are currently in thr red zone, I hope they don't stay there till the end of the season as they will not wan to get relegated either. Aston Villa is already at the third position on the table by this victory I hope they stay there long enough, maybe after Arsenal and Manchester City meeting tomorrow the table may take a new shape.

Aston Villa really got a dramatic win. From the start of the match, Aston Villa tended to play attacking football because they had the advantage of playing at home. But it's quite suffocating instead of scoring, they conceded first in the 25th minute when Diego Carlos made a mistake and Wolves could take advantage of it. 1 goal behind makes Aston Villa so frustrated. They kept the pressure on Wolves but they had to wait a long time before they could equalize. The effort will not betray the results, that 1 goal really boosted Aston Villa's confidence, so they were able to find the second and third goals at the end of the match.

[beerlover]

when we look at both teams starting the season then we can see that Chelsea is much better than West Ham where in four matches Chelsea has only lost once, won two and drawn one, while West Ham is the opposite, won once, lost twice and drawn one which makes them in 14th position in the standings, and we can also see how Chelsea was last season where they ended the season in a better position than the previous season and West Ham is still below them.

So in this match I think Chelsea is stronger than West Ham in terms of performance, but the only advantage of West Ham is that they will play at home which will make them do everything they can not to be embarrassed at home, the competition will certainly be quite tight and I think the most likely score in this match is a draw.

Chelsea definitely looks better than what people expected them to do, they looked quite terrible for a long time and I think we need to remember that we are not going to end up with a good result that easily and because of that I think we should be looking at this as anything good at all and we need to make sure that we are dealing with something that is getting a bit different result eventually.

West Ham could be that team which could actually beat Chelsea, not saying that they will, but it will happen eventually and I think this could be the one. This is why I think it's a very difficult situation to have a result that would not be all that easy to handle and I think we are going to see them do fine probably, I mean the fact is that Chelsea is definitely the better team, I am just warning against a shocking result.

[LGD2Business]

Tottenham were down in the first minute but they managed to turn the game around. Mbeumo's volley goal in the 23rd second was pretty good. But it wasn't enough for Brentford. Spurs scored the equalizer very quickly and didn't play for a long time down in the game. The home team were always in control of the game. Solanke scored his first goal for his new team. Overall, Tottenham deserved to win the game, it was a fair score. I was predicting at least 3 goals in the match for my bet and I was right.

[_act_]

Chelsea definitely looks better than what people expected them to do, they looked quite terrible for a long time and I think we need to remember that we are not going to end up with a good result that easily and because of that I think we should be looking at this as anything good at all and we need to make sure that we are dealing with something that is getting a bit different result eventually.

This is why I think it's a very difficult situation to have a result that would not be all that easy to handle and I think we are going to see them do fine probably, I mean the fact is that Chelsea is definitely the better team, I am just warning against a shocking result.

I can not say Chelsea is a better team now but it is better than West Ham that has lost many matches this season. West Ham has not started well at all. Chelsea is opportune to play with small clubs in English Premier League after the club played with Manchester City but which was the only match that the club lost. Let us see what will happen because only 5 matches has just been played out of 38 matches that we are going to. I hope Chelsea will perform better.

This game will be an easy win for Liverpool. They were too strong for their opponent and it seemed they would not stop at just 3 goals. Maybe this will be a stage for a massacre. That stands to reason considering Liverpool are in a good phase after they got a win when they visited San Siro. It's actually quite a shame that they had to slip up when played against Nottingham Forest, so it is enough to tarnish their good trend.

All the goals scored by Liverpool occurred in the first half, but that wasn't a problem even though Bournemouth actually had the best chance of stealing a goal. Bournemouth failed to maximize many of their chances because their finishing was not good, it was a big advantage for Liverpool because they managed to end the match with a clean sheet.

Currently Liverpool leads the standings with a 1 match advantage over Manchester City. The two top teams have the same points, but Liverpool's chances of staying at the top of the standings really depend on the result of the Manchester City vs Arsenal match. If the match ends in a draw, Liverpool will also drop to second place because Manchester City has a 1 point advantage. Meanwhile, if Arsenal wins, then Arsenal will lead the standings.

By the way, I expect Manchester United to win today's away game against Crystal Palace. I see Manchester United being very dominant in today's game, so hopes of winning are very high. I don't think Manchester United will lose or draw, but anything can happen as long as the game is tough.

[Polkeins]

It's already 3-0 in Chesley's favor and it's safe to say that Chelsea will take it all the way to victory. Nicholas Jackson and Cole Palmer had a great match. Nicholas Jackson scored 2 goals and made a goal to Palmer, who scored the third goal and generally played very actively. Also Sancho and Caicedo scored a goal and the whole Chesley midfield played just fine, but still West Ham played well and even scored, but the goal was canceled. Chelsea are starting the season well and there is hope that this season will be at least as good as the previous one.

It is a bad record for West Ham, they have now lost three consecutive games that they have played at home, the coach will not be comfortable because if he continues like this, his Job is at stake. For Chelsea, another away win for Enzo Maresca and they look to be picking up speed as Chelsea is in second in the premier league table which is a position that they have not been in in a very long time. Nicholas Jackson would maybe have gotten a hat-trick in the game if he had stayed on, but I understand the substitution to bring in Nkunku and Felix, to give them time to play too, and keep the healthy competition in the team going. It is also a good record for Chelsea that they were able to win the game by so many goals and still maintaining clean sheets, this season is already looking very good for Chelsea.

The defeat at home will certainly make West Ham's new manager Julen Lopetegui may also be threatened to be fired or perhaps, West Ham will still give time and opportunity for Julen Lopetegui to keep showing  good results over time. But about Chelsea, of course, this is a good result for Chelsea with its new coach Enzo Maresca because obviously, Chelsea in this season has become better than last season and thus, of course Enzo Maresca is a successful manager to restore Chelsea's performance to be better this season.

Indeed, it seems too early to say Enzo Maresca succeeded but for me personally, because Enzo Maresca managed to provide good results and performance for Chelsea at the beginning of this season, of course it is a good sign. So yes, I just recognize that Chelsea have got the right coach and of course, it will be very interesting if Chelsea compete in the top four this season because the trophy race will be very competitive.

Well while West Ham have 4 points and 14th place in the table, but let's hope that with him the club management will not do the same, as the management of Roma did with de Rossi, sacking him after only 4 rounds.
It is clear that West Ham are not building chances for the championship, but it is necessary at least to take a place to get into the European Cup next season and apparently the purchases of Summerville and Wan-Bissaka were made by West Ham management just for this purpose, so let's see the next matches and I think if there is no result within 3-4 matches, then probably Lopetegui should worry.

Also today Tottenham, Fulham and Aston Villa won with the same score 3:1 and besides Aston Villa lost until 73 minutes when Wally Watkins managed to score a goal and then on 88 and 94 minutes Villa scored 2 more goals and is still in 2nd place with 12 points.

[Frankolala]

By the way, I expect Manchester United to win today's away game against Crystal Palace. I see Manchester United being very dominant in today's game, so hopes of winning are very high. I don't think Manchester United will lose or draw, but anything can happen as long as the game is tough.

Yea, Manchester united is dominating the match and they have lost two good chances of netting the post. Gnarcho is playing wonderfully today and he has being creating chances which he can use to net the post but all efforts was in vain. The goal that was supposed to score hit the bar and the rebound also went straight to hit the bar.

It will be nice if United can make proper use of their goal opportunities now to find the back of the net to take the lead, maybe that will motivate them the more to score more goals. It is still goalless and the match is on the 38th minutes of first half.

Sincerely speaking bro, I was actually asking myself throughout the game if this is Nicolas Jackson that I knew off, because his finishing was top class today, especially the second one, I have always known that his link up play is very good, but were his major problem lies is his finishing, and today he proved that he has been doing something about it, and if he can continue with this kind of good finishing, then I don't actually think Chelsea would be looking to sign another central forwarder in January transfer window.

Then as for the score line, i wasn't expecting it to be this easy for Chelsea to be honest, I was expecting a tight contested affair, but the two early goals by Nicolas Jackson made it very easy for Chelsea, so a big tomb up to this Chelsea team for putting in a much more Stella performance that secured the winning at the backyard of the hammers.

The first half had ended goalless, which was a bit disappointing considering there were so many goal opportunities that were missed. Manchester United completely dominated this game and they should have no trouble winning it if the players' finishing is good. But unfortunately, there were no goals in the first half and this was a bit annoying.

I hope Manchester United can maximize the second half and score goals. They also must not lose concentration on defense considering that Crystal Palace could steal a goal first from counter-attack schemes or set pieces. Garnacho played well in this match, I think he will score a goal in this match.

Crystal Palace and Manchester United match at the first quarter of the match is the hottest match I have seen today in the premier league, indeed it was very terrifying the both teams performance was good with difficulties of utilizing goals opportunities, I presumption the possibility of the game ending in goaless draw but if crystal palace could become better they might become victorious since it is their home ground. Manchester City match against Arsenal is another tough game we should be expecting tomorrow, with possibly both teams to score.

[Iranus]

Manchester United's performance this season has been very erratic. So betting on each of their matches is risky. Out of 4 matches, Manchester United's performance is not good in a single match. However, out of 4 matches they have won 2 and lost 2. But I don't like the overall gameplay of this team. There are still many weaknesses within the squad.

Manchester United won the last EFL Cup match against Barnsley by a huge margin of 7-0. But since the performance of this team is very erratic. I think many gamblers are betting on Manchester United to win today as this team won 7-0 in the last match. However, United's performance against Crystal Palace in today's match is poor as usual. Neither team could score a single goal in the first half. Crystal Palace are keen to draw the match. So we don't see much effort from Crystal Palace players to score goals. On the other hand, Manchester United's players made several attacks, but could not score a single goal.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Chelsea might be leading and the fans are happy but for the first 20mins both teams was showing that unseriousness in the game, after 25mins of the game West Ham took absolute control of the game till the end of the first half. Chelsea are not even in the game, the team has no flexible midfielder and with Palmer out of the equation the team can't hold the ball for a minute. Going to the defenders, Fofana has been terrible with and without the ball, he can't make a clear marking without offending the player talking about Summerville who has been making life hard for him (Fofana). And why are the defenders of Chelsea including the keeper (Sanchez) always building from the back with poor passes?  Sanchez has been lucky with those weak passes from what have seen.
I just hope the second half won't be as bad for West Ham, they have gotten their mojo back and they need to keep pressing till they get a goal which I'm expecting this second half. Enzo Maresca should be more effective while making his sub in the second half because at half time player like Madueke hasn't been in the game, Enzo still have enough option to make the game be in favor of the Blues.

When all these words you are voicing out would have been put into thought would have been if peradventure Chelsea loses to West Ham at the end of the match after leading with two goals in the first half. But so long as Chelsea wins West Ham with 3 goals, Chelsea fans won't feel bad and annoyed that Chelsea is operating from the back with poor passes. However, Chelsea is a bit stronger in their defense line despite their poor passes from the back, that's one thing that should be noted.

You're correct but you should understand that each time Chelsea performance is nothing to write home about they win and when they play well they lose, that's what I noticed maybe not in all games but that's it for me, so they need to change that initiative and try to make their performance look solid. I know the fans are happy at the 0-3 win but their sluggishness is too much, the midfield is not even what you can say did well, Caicedo and Enzo in that midfield is a no no for me. Is best to have Enzo than the man Caicedo, the two players don't have that much connection. Caicedo always playing the ball back at the defense which causes much pressure on the shaky defense of Chelsea, which isn't suppose to be, they need someone special to help out the DM position.
