Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

<snip>

This game is going in a surprising way, Arsenal likely going to defeat Manchester City at their home soil, not only that ,but this victory will be a significant one, which will put Arsenal football club on top of the premier league table this very week. This season so far is becoming another super interesting just as what started happening towards the end of last season league, which saw the big teams switch their position in the league table almost each week. Arteta and his men has done incredibly well in this match, which the team is becoming more formidable as the season progresses.

I also thought Arsenal could maintain their victory even though they played with 10 players in the second half. But in reality my estimate was completely wrong because in the end Manchester City managed to score a goal in injury time. Manchester City tried hard in this match to avoid defeat, they succeeded and they really deserved it.

On the other hand, Arsenal is quite satisfied with this 2-2 draw because they could have lost if their defense and goalkeeping performance were not as good as today. David Raya deserves praise for his good performance today by saving many of Manchester City's goal chances in the second half, but he ultimately had to give up because Manchester City were able to find their second goal. Manchester City returned to leading the standings with a 1 point gap above Aston Villa and Liverpool.

[Franctoshi]

I didn’t expect Arsenal to be this fierce. My prediction of 2-0 victory for Manchester City is already in shit as Arsenal are leading the game two goals to one. Interestingly the two goals for Arsenal were scored by their defenders, Calafiori; and Gabriel.

Edit: Trossard just picked up a second yellow and he’s been sent out. Arsenal will play the second half with 10 men.

The match ended with a score of 2-2, Arsenal who continued to try to defend after a 2-1 lead and also lost one player in the match managed to hold Manchester City until the 90+7 minute, but unfortunately they were unable to keep save the victory that had been in front of their eyes after the crisis that occurred in front of the Arsenal goal was able to be used well by the Stones to score an equalizer,  To be honest I didn't think Arsenal would have been able to win that the game previously, but it turned out that they were able to show a very strong mentality today even though they failed to get full points in today game, Manchester City did manage to avoid defeat at the Etihad Stadium today, but I think Arsenal have won everyone hearts today with their toughness againts manchester city, Seeing what happened throughout the second half, it is appropriate for Arsenal to thank Raya who continues to be agile in repelling every Manchester City attack.

Playing one man down with about 6 yellow card on an away game against a football team like Manchester City is undefendable at some point, especially when the red came in during the first half game, City would do everything not to lose that match with their opponent on a red card let alone when it's also played at home, But not withstanding, I really commend Arsenal's effort and morals going to City's home soil and were able to held them into lock horns and until the final whistle.

There was no winner in the most important match of the week. I can say that the match was exciting. Haaland scored the first goal for City, but Arsenal closed the first half 2-1 up with a goal in the dying minutes. After Trossard was sent off late in the first half, Manchester City were in complete control of the game. Despite pushing so hard, Manchester City managed to get a draw, albeit a difficult one, with a goal in the dying minutes.

This is the hottest Premier League match of the weekend as the two strongest team in the EPL battled for who takes the 3 points in the bag but unfortunately they settled for a 2:2 draw after having a beautiful performance. Manchester City had a better performance after Arsenal was reduced to 10 men but big ups to the gunners for holding still with the 1:2 lead up to 90 minutes, all thanks to the Arsenal goal keeper David Raya for making the amazing saves despite failing to stop J. Stones equalizer in the last minute.

[Obari]

Manchester City and Arsenal gave us quite the match. Arsenal have grown this season, Arteta is raising a team that is going to fight to the finish. Arsenal blocked Erling Haaland for the entire 45 mins and were able to withstand the attacks from Manchester City until just that final moment. Just few seconds away, John Stones leveled things up for Manchester City. I think Arsenal and their fans should be proud of what they did today.

Equal points shared between both parties at Etihad stadium, this was one of the best thrilling north London derby played today. Mikel Arteta have rebuild his squad and this time, their mentality is all about winning and no room for relenting efforts. Manchester City struggled to win 10 men Arsenal on their own ground. This is outrageous for the Citizens and Pep Guardiola was frustrated to watched his side put in the effort to equal draw points.

The referee, Michael Oliver ruined everything for Gunners, giving a red card to Leandro Trossard was absolutely unfair if my opinion was uttered, this is a derby for goodness sake, he would have simply ignored the fact that Trossard kick the ball out of play when he has already blown the whistle for foul committed. However we should lay our sights on Arsenal goalkeepr, we should give David Raya his flowers in the game, he made brilliant saves and earned himself amazing credits.

[Lidger]

Arsenal might have won against Manchester City had Trossard not been sent off after receiving a red card in the 45th minute. Arsenal performed brilliantly from the first minute to the 45th minute, but playing half-time with one player down is difficult for any team, and even more so when the opponent is Manchester City. Manchester City attacked after half time and those attacks were only repelled by Arsenal.  

If we discuss from the beginning of the match, then we must first mention Manchester City's goal in the ninth minute. Manchester City scored in the ninth minute, but Arsenal managed to score in two stages in the first half and they were ahead of Manchester City in the first half.  
Arsenal was able to hold this lead until the end of the game but in the last minute they conceded another goal from Manchester City and the game ended here.

[As-Soon-As]

Manchester City were losing at the last minute but managed to score with a most aggressive performance in extra time. Because I can't play during halftime but sometimes due to fouls, a game of Arsenal team goes out with red card. And to take advantage of this opportunity, Manchester City team players began to perform for a long time, but finally came to success.

Performed most diligently to score goals in the last minute, and in the whole match Manchester City attacked Murty 33, and opposite team Arsenal only attacked five. But I was trying for the longest time that Arsenal team would have more chances to lose in this game but it didn't, because Arsenal team defenders were the most hard working but could not show his team victory. And at the last moment the game ended with 2-2 goals.

I really appreciate the effort Arsenal players out in the match even though it ended draw for them having seen the straight in Manchester city the red card gave them the chance of equaliser but if Arsenal were only more defensive in the last few minutes they would have bagged the 3 points completely.
It would be another story from today, when next Arsenal gets to play City they would have to see it as a fight to win.

Maybe it's true, Arsenal could possibly win this match if they played with 11 players. The red card clearly ruined a lot of things in Arsenal's game, but that's no excuse because Arsenal should have been able to defend it until a few minutes before the game ended. John Stones managed to take advantage of a loose ball in front of the Arsenal goal and scored a goal, it was the last goal that occurred in the match.

Pep Guardiola basically expected a win for this match, but Manchester City's performance in the second half was not as expected. They let Arsenal lock up players in defense for too long and this is the reason why Arsenal find it difficult to concede goals. Arsenal's good defense was praised today, they avoided defeat even though they only came away with 1 point in hand.

Raya is the man of the match because if not for him City would have win the match. Raya almost made City players fustrated because all their effort waa in vain. Arsenal lost focus on the 99th minutes of the game which led to City equalizer. I guess Arsenal thought that the game was over and a little relaxation stole three points from them but sharing point with the host isn't bad.

Manchester city was able to score their equalizing goal because they kept pressuring Arsenal defence to the last without giving up. I believe that the match would have not gone in a different dimension if not for the red card.

I'd poop my pants if I were in the field as an Arsenal player in the 9th minute. Halland is a beast and he's not even willing to relinquish... I wouldn't even feel safe having them leading with their current squad, but what more fun do we crave than seeing these teams being defeated? That's exactly what I'm talking about!

It would be another story from today, when next Arsenal gets to play City they would have to see it as a fight to win.

A fight to win what exactly?? You must be part of those that keeps underrating City even when we all know how coordinated their game play is.

I don't know how Guardiola does it but he instills way too much discipline in these players, building their resilience and teaching them how to utilize the most subtle ways to atleast, get the point shared.

[len01]

As usual Arsenal will appear extraordinary at the start of the season and lose performance towards the end of the season. Honestly, actually I initially had difficulty in deciding to bet on the best option but after Arsenal were 2 scores in the first round and Trossard had to leave the field after getting a red card, I decided to bet draw on a half time.
It turned out to be true what I thought if competing with 10 players was not easy and in the end Stones managed to save 1 score in the final minutes.
Although Arsenal failed again to get 3 points but I admit that a very solid appearance and beautiful goal scored by Riccardo Calafiori.

[knowngunman]

It is very unfortunate that in this match Trossard was given a red card, this adds to the series of things that are detrimental to the Arsenal team squad. Talking about the City versus Arsenal match, I did not expect Arteta to change the pattern he applied. Clearly, he rarely does it. Referring to the course of the match, as predicted, City will dominate the match. Especially, in the second half after Arsenal played with 10 players. Initially I was very happy if Arsenal were able to turn the score 2-1 for Arsenal. However, after that Trossard was given a red card for being considered wasting time.

Trossard red card was not unfortunate, it's an obvious offense that deserves red card knowingfully well that he's on yellow already. Kicking the ball away after the refree has stopped the play is a cautionable offense and every professional player is well aware of this.

It's high time Arterta instill discipline on this players because this same offense led to Rice's red card against Brighton and Trossard repeat the same thing today because of Indiscipline and put the team on pressure for the entire second half. It doesn't make any sense committing unnecessary offenses when you are aware of the rules.

Arsenal played a fantastic game thou. I applaud how they adapt to the circumstances and share the point with the champions.

[Pokapoka124]

My goodness, I don't know what or how to describe the performance of the Gunners, I have never seen Arteta's men come out with this wonderful display even with the red card, for ones Pep Guardiola found pressure around him. Things we expected from Manchester City after the red card never happened, I was expecting the Citizens to brutalize the Gunners and even score up to 3-4 goals but the Arsenal team stood their ground and make things hard for City, but it all had to end with that late equalizer from the substitute Stones. Nice game from both side. I believe whenever Arsenal finds themselves in a situation like this (with a man down) they're going to handle it well and even come out victorious, this is a learning process for Arteta and his men.

The Pep - Arteta rivalry reminds me of the intense Pep - Mourinho rivalry back in the La Liga. The fact that Arsenal are disappointed with a 2-2 draw against their strongest rival at Etihad shows how much they have grown. Even with the red card, Manchester City met a very solid Arsenal team. I think it was a fair result for both sides. Coincidentally, both teams had a goalless draw in their champions league games. It was interesting to see the two teams play attacking football.

I wouldn't even feel safe having them leading with their current squad, but what more fun do we crave than seeing these teams being defeated? That's exactly what I'm talking about!

It's true that Haaland had them all feel like his in control but practically they faced a hard time with the rest of the team than the goal beast himself. Even though I wanted to see big teams get defeated I prefer seeing Arsenal destroy some good teams but we do get this expectations early but when it becomes necessary for Arsenal to maintain their stands they would begin fumbling and that pisses me off even though I love the club.

BTW, it was really intensing seeing a good move in the beginning to have it all end a draw, fans only had to keep their sanity because it was a draw game and not a total loss.

It would be another story from today, when next Arsenal gets to play City they would have to see it as a fight to win.

City is not never to be won, so it's still very much possible that some day they will go home a bit disappointed

In my opinion, Arsenal were really unlucky today, at least in two ways, they lost a player, and they failed to maintain their lead when the match was just waiting for the final whistle. It was really dramatic when the equalizer was scored, and it is true that Arsenal defense lost concentration towards the end of the match.
The luck of Arteta squad lies in the goals they created, with a small chance they managed to take advantage of the gap well. Besides that, David Raya performance was the most important luck, as you said, Manchester City could have scored more than 4 goals if Raya played badly today.
Of course, going home with 1 point is better, even though it looks very disappointing, and that's fair enough for both teams. What is clear is that Arsenal do deserve to be considered the main competitor for Pep Guardiola squad in terms of winning trophies this season.

It was a very difficult match for Arsenal. They felt very much that they were away, Manchester City attacked a lot and created a lot of goal opportunities. After the red card, Arsenal's style of play became more defensive. We actually saw a very good defense throughout the match, Manchester City was a little unlucky. But they scored the second goal in the last minutes and managed to get points from this match. If Arsenal had won this match, it would have been a great success

[MK-74]

M.City - Arsenal match was really enjoyable, we watched some nice goals.
Arsenal is a very unlucky team, we saw that again tonight, they conceded a goal in the last minute of extra time and ended the match in a draw.
Arsenal should be congratulated, they played with 1 man down in the second half and got 1 point.

Manchester City vs Arsenal

Manchester City hosting one of their biggest rival in the last two years and I think it will continue till the Gunners get what they have been battling for, to me both teams are in a managing state. For Arsenal they're struggling with injury crisis which I believe will continue to change their style of play till their injured players are back and the Man City side they are not as they were as of last season, have been saying this that the Citizens are a bit slow, like something is missing but I can't really tell.
The both managers played a draw in the champions league and facing each other today might also repeat that same draw that both teams had respectively. Which position is the weakest in both teams in their previous game and which team is going to dominate more in this game?

I've made a prediction between these two teams and I'll give Manchester a fair shot.  And mostly there is a fear of their match being drawn because the match hasn't started yet. If the match starts for a while, then their chances of winning will be known.  strength and see who can get the upper hand.  Yes, the players who were playing earlier have an idea of who to play in which condition and who don't. These new players have no idea and they are also expected to perform well.  .  Yes, if they play this in their heart, then of course, but they will play for their own victory at that time.  And more than them we know that they have drawn the first match and we will convey this information to them.And the match will generate a lot of interest and everyone will watch this match very carefully and enjoy it.

This is the hottest Premier League match of the weekend as the two strongest team in the EPL battled for who takes the 3 points in the bag but unfortunately they settled for a 2:2 draw after having a beautiful performance.

Seriously todays match was so interesting and tough, they both tried in the match, Arsenal was ahead of Manchester City till the match was about to end before Manchester city equalized, pressure was just too much on Arsenal in the second half of the match, so I expected Manchester city to equalize. After Arsenal received their red card, they started playing defensive game just to maintain the win, but unfortunately things didn’t end well for Arsenal, they couldn’t get three points in the match, Manchester City will continue to top the table, and Arsenal will be behind them.

[Sandra_hakeem]

It turned out to be true what I thought if competing with 10 players was not easy and in the end Stones managed to save 1 score in the final minutes.
Although Arsenal failed again to get 3 points but I admit that a very solid appearance and beautiful goal scored by Riccardo Calafiori.

See the point now? On their part, I know they really had to keep the 3 points to themselves, considering the fact that they really had to topple their rivalry on the table, aston villa.

Regardless, just one more lose to Aston or win to them would push them into the 3rd place.. it's not strange that the premier league has always been a competitive league.

M.City - Arsenal match was really enjoyable, we watched some nice goals.
Arsenal is a very unlucky team, we saw that again tonight, they conceded a goal in the last minute of extra time and ended the match in a draw.

I wouldn't say they're unlucky per sa. Man City wouldn't accept that eas defeat yunno.
