Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[DiMarxist]

~snip

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.

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.

West Ham United possessed ball more today but Chelsea defence was good today and Nicolas Jackson displayed his real talent today. Normally Nicolas Jackson is a good player but the finishing part was the issue he was having and as you said, he has been working on that weak part of him and he is overcoming it gradually. And as it was said by some commenters before, in this season Chelsea is trying more that the previous seasons. And it is recommendable.
We pray that they should continue like this. West Ham United is a strong team and we can see it from the match today.

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.

Manchester united performance is not poor, it's just that they are unable to score any goal yet because if you are watching the match, you will see good goal attempts that was made especially by Gnarcho but he was unlucky that his balls couldn't pass through the goalkeeper to the back of the post.

Dean Henderson is a good goalkeeper as he deprived Manchester united their goals. The second half has started and I believe that Manchester united will make proper use of their chances this time in order for them to win the match.

HALF TIME: Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Manchester United

Manchester United performance have improved since their 7 nil thrashing of Barnsley in the EFL. Manchester United have been dominant in this game. Ball possession 67% while Crystal Palace 33%. United have 4 shots on target but have not been able to find the net. Manchester United need to apply more pressure in the second half so they can get a goal.

[Asiska02]

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.

Liverpool totally outshined Bournemouth in this match and those two quick goals gave them an advantage to take total control over the match. It was such a nice game by Arne Slot’s men and this gives them the chance to be at the top of the table after the victory in this match. Bournemouth were actually trying to take control of the game in the final minutes but Liverpool were able to defend well all of their strikes and that gave them the liberty to finish the match in a draw. Consistency matters though and if they can be consistent, they can be league winners.

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.

In the Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford match, despite the early goal scored by Brentford, they’re not capable enough to withstand the pressure from Tottenham and made them concede three goals to bring the match to an end with two goal difference. This is their third loss this season after winning two games out of the five matches they’ve played this season. They’re currently on the twelfth position on the table, until the remaining teams play their fifth match, we can see the position they’ll be at the end of the round five games.

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.

When Chelsea are in good form, victory over West Ham can be achieved a little easier. We realize that the gap in squad depth has given Enzo Maresca a lot of advantages, West Ham who acted as the host could not do much this time. Statistically, West Ham looks more dominant, but Nicolas Jackson and his colleagues played more effectively. The additional 3 points made Chelsea successfully occupy 4th place in the standings, while West Ham had to be willing to occupy 14th place.
This is the 3rd victory for The Blues in a row, since the last time they lost to Servette in the Europa Conference League at the end of August. I agree with you in assessing Chelsea at this time, although they are starting to show signs of revival, we are still hesitant to say that they are now it's better than last season.
Enzo Maresca needs to prove this consistency in the next 3 matches, against Barrow (League Cup), Brighton (Premier League) and Gent (European Conference League), which in my opinion are 3 matches that are a little easy, it is a good momentum to gain fans trust.

[Amphenomenon]

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.

I think Chelsea defense is getting better though from the fact that Levi  Colwill and Tosin did pretty well, I think  Tosin deserved a starting position than Fofana, who often makes mistakes this guy is still far from his best after his injuries return but I hope he can do better soon, though I think A. Disasi did better than him when he came from the bench.

The midfield duo, Caicedo and Enzo was doing well but slowly get tired during the second half notably Caicedo but I think they can improve and I was pleased with the assist from Caicedo, hope he continues to make such good passes.

While Noni Madueke is such he greedy player, if not he had chance of helping Jackson getting an hattrick but opt for his own net, which was save by the keeper, not ignoring the fact that he also had Neto to lass but just want his goal which turned out pretty bad for him l, he needs to understand the meaning of teamwork, I hope Maresca would talk some sense to him

Manchester United's performance is not what I can say. A performance can't be called strong just by creating a lot of attacking opportunities. This is Crystal Palace's home match. And Crystal Palace have not been in a strong form this season either. So in this match we could predict that Crystal Palace players will play defensively. The Ten Hag should have found a match strategy to break down Crystal Palace's defence. But he failed. Manchester United's players could not score a single goal. And the match ended in a goalless draw.

Crystal Palace's defense is not very strong either. Crystal Palace had conceded goals in each of their previous matches. And it was the only match in which Palace did not concede a single goal. From this, it is understood that the condition of Manchester United is still quite weak.

[Altryist]

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.

Good match, Bournemouth are not such a tough opponent, another confident win after a great match with Milan, and it remains a mystery why Liverpool lost to Nottingham. Chelsea also seem to have found their game, Maresca has decided on the main players and now I like the way Chelsea are looking. Newcastle surprised, after a good start they lost to Fulham. Tomorrow there will be an important match, if City beat Arsenal, they will regain first place, if Arsenal win, they will bypass City and top the table.

Manchester United game still goalless up till this time and we're on additional time already. I knew this game wouldn't be an easy one for Manchester United playing Crystal palace from away. Every efforts have been refuted and it all seems the two teams are going to share the points with one last setpiece remaining to decide the date of the game. Game over 0:0 final results

Today I was listening to a local radio broadcasting about football and I heard a very interesting statistic. Manchester United had only 10 defeats in 180 away games in London under Sir Alex Ferguson and 10 defeats in 18 away games in London after Sir Alex Ferguson. A curse has fallen on Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson. I think it is very difficult to turn this team back to the old days. If I was a manager I wouldn't want to work there...

I watched in the second half, this match was quite boring just seeing the home team really defending and doing more long balls. while United, they had difficulty breaking through the opponent's defense. no player dared to penetrate to try to penetrate the Crystal Palace defense area, even every time United tried to build an attack it always couldn't be utilized properly. it's only natural, every time Manchester United players try to penetrate the opponent's defense there will always be five or more Crystal Palace players defending. in this match Garnacho did not play optimally, as did Amad Diallo. these two players should have worked to disrupt the defense of Crystal Palace's full-backs. what's quite confusing, I don't understand why Ten Hag benched Marcus Rashford. maybe if he was the main starter, the situation would be different or Rashford would be used as a center forward again like the previous match in the EFL Cup. while the home team, only tried to take advantage of counterattacks or mistakes made by United players. no wonder, if the betting exchange gave these two teams almost the same odds. what is certain, United is far from stable and consistent.

I actually predicted a 1-1 draw from my last reply, but was quite close to the 0-0 draw they played at full time. I knew united won't get that 3 points easily. Well, it was best they had to settle for a point each, rather than experiencing another disappointing results from them. United had more ball possession, but the palace's defense where fully active today. Maybe they were playing with the mindset they had when they defeated united 4nil the last time. But united wasn't ready to allow such humiliation. All I can say is congrats to both side for settling for a point each.

You have rightly described the pattern Manchester United have been playing this season, they have no exact pattern and rhythm, they just appear like they play to be lucky and hope to win especially their premier League games. It keeps feeling to me like ten hag is yet to get an exact premier league strategy to beat premiere league games but away from premier League he isn't doing really bad, unlike last season, at Crystal Palace home when place still has olise and eze at their Frontline, they were even more fierce than they are in today's game yet it wasn't enough advantage for United. I actually did anticipated a 0-1 win from Manchester United after all the failed attempts in the first half but it did felt like in the second half place and United equally shared dominance and ended with the goalless draw, this has left Manchester United remaining at the same position they were meanwhile i was expecting they go up the table again today considering they looked like they ahd an edge.

HALF TIME: Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Manchester United

United have 4 shots on target but have not been able to find the net. Manchester United need to apply more pressure in the second half so they can get a goal.

This would have been a sure games for Manchester United and they have all the chances to win the game.
 Fenerbahçe 1 Vs 3 Galatasaray. Galatasaray is doing well in the game again. Again Victor Osimhen didn't scored goals but did well in the game. Fenerbahçe did well but they were not lucky to win the match.

[Lida93]

Halftime score 0 : 2, Chelsea winning with two beautiful goals from Nicholas Jackson, his finishes are notable and precise today, Cucurella is really impressing me with his availability when needed defensively, he's been a good boy today. Enzo is a great captain who's always supporting his team's midfield defensively and offensively today.

This is the easiest of games for Chelsea. Just 120 seconds in the second half Enzo with the combination of Nicolas Jackson has given Chelsea a third goal, it's now 0:3 in favour of Chelsea. It's going to be extremely difficult for Westham to turn the tides.

Today everything seems to work perfectly for the Enzo Maresca side as both the Chelsea defence, midfield and attacking front is well confident, demonstrating a clinical performance and a 100% dominance on this game. Maresca is doing a great job in this club.

Yeah two goals in the first 20 minutes of the game then another goal in the beginning of the second half will make Chelsea play comfortably, yet they are still pushing and trying to add another goal.
Chelsea is the second in the table for the moment until we see the outcomes of the other matches.
West Ham United isn't doing well in this match nor in this season at all. They are receiving many goals and failed to stop the bad results.

the performance of Jackson wa sensational. From the moment he had possession of the ball I was afraid that with the little amount of players that were available for a pass that he was going to miss the clear chance. Like a matured attacker, he pulled it right through the leg of the goal keeper and had his first goal. Had a second goal and gave Cole Palmer a good assist that brought it all to a fantastic three goals. Another Great thing about the game is that despite the poor game Cole Palmer had that throughout the first half, he still found a way to put his name on the score sheet with the fantastic ballon shoot he gave.  The potential of the team is becoming better by the day and with every game that goes down, a clearer picture that Chelsea has what it takes to finish top 6 on the table continue getting clearer.

Sensational indeed! It's interesting to see Nicolas Jackson back to scoring goals again in the premier league, I hope he continues in this form as it's gonna make the attack front of Chelsea a big threat to their opponent with the composition of Cole Palmer and Nkuku there.  What am about to say it's a controversial position to hold which is if Jackson can improve his finishing quality and be able to convert all his chances this season to goals he's gonna get more goals than Haaland this season. It impressive to see that Enzo Maresca is gradually building a strong team with Chelsea that will be contending for the top four again. And someone we ain't talking about hiss output today is Sancho, he has also added some quality to Chelsea performance.

You are right mate, Ten Hag doe3not have any game strategy and that shows that he will finish on top for of the table this season because for a club to be successful, there must be a game strategy that is being used by the players and not trying your luck or is EPL gamble.

Manchester united is bigger than playing very well in other small competitions and not doing well in EPL which is the biggest league in England an d that shows that Ten Hag is turning United to an average club that will not be able to be in UCL to showcase their talents. It is better something is done fast because playing in UCL is the moat important thing a club will achieve at the end of the season.

Manchester United's match strategy is not good. This is why the performance of this team is erratic. This team is not able to perform well consistently. This team is not able to do well against smaller teams. At the same time, against the big teams, Manchester United's defense broke down very quickly. Against Liverpool and Brighton we saw Manchester United's poor defence.

Manchester United need a stable match strategy. Good match strategy will strengthen the bonding between the players. But Ten Hag is yet to find a suitable match strategy for Manchester United despite being with the team for a long time.

Manchester United unexpected draw points today was absolutely out of line. None of these gamblers had a doubt about Manchester United to succumb to draw points. The stats of Manchester United in the 11th position on the EPL table, not good enough for standard club like the Red Devils. The coach have to make more arrangements if he persuades to push for greater heights in the English Premier League this season. Erik Ten Hag not happy with the current situation of the team, failing to meet targets and this is terrible condition for the club. Funny to see the Red Devils failed to accumulate three points against Crystal Palace. How can one explained the enormous victory against Barnsley, scoring huge 7-0 against a second division team and when they meet their main EPL opposition, they held a 0-0 draw game.

[Stable090]

When Chelsea are in good form, victory over West Ham can be achieved a little easier. We realize that the gap in squad depth has given Enzo Maresca a lot of advantages, West Ham who acted as the host could not do much this time.

Chelsea are just unpredictable. I like the way Enzo Maresca is building the Chelsea squad, we all can see clearly that there is a difference in Chelsea performance this season and last season. There is a great improvement in the Chelsea team, and we all saw how everyone played today. We all saw how Jackson was able to score two goals and one assist in the match. We know Jackson to be a player that’s not consistent, but his performance in today's match was so nice, and he contributed to the success of Chelsea today.

Palmer, who hasn’t been able to score in a few matches, was able to score the final goal for Chelsea in the match. Seriously,  all Chelsea players played well today, and Enzo Maresca made some nice substitutions in the second half of the match.

The additional 3 points made Chelsea successfully occupy 4th place in the standings, while West Ham had to be willing to occupy 14th place.

It’s just surprising to see Chelsea at 4th position, I never expected that, but honestly Chelsea really deserves it, but I will say Enzo Maresca still needs to work on some position, not that it’s so weak, but  those positions needs more improvement.

It is better something is done fast because playing in UCL is the moat important thing a club will achieve at the end of the season.

Slowly but surely Ten Hag has made Manchester United a mediocre club, it is difficult to say that they have developed for the better after being active in the transfer window last summer. Because in reality, Ten Hag was unable to bring his squad to win the match when facing a mid-table team like Crystal Palace, let alone an elite Premier League team. In 5 matches Manchester United have lost 8 points, this performance indicates that they will again fail to win a ticket to the Champions League at the end of the season, unless they succeed in winning the Europa League trophy by showing a different performance.

A big win in a smaller competition cannot save Ten Hag career this time, the management has supported him with a large budget to build squad depth, of course the club top brass are demanding better results than last season. If it is said that Manchester United still need time to adapt, it seems excessive, Rasmus Hojlund return from injury should have brought blessings to the squad. Maybe indeed, Ten Hag does not have the right strategy, the players cannot be blamed for the unstable performance.
