Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[$anounimus$]

I must admit Arsenal's defece was so amazing. Though their attackers were so garbage, this was because their two goals were coming from their defensive players. Their attackers were contributed nothing in this game. But i cant' really say they're much better than their form last season.

This is because they're yet winning the title. This means if they have not yet improved. Their offensive much more aggresive last season than this time.

For me, i would rate them have improved compared to the last season if they win a title.

It is not easy to face Manchester City with all the strength and mentality of the players and also the manager (Pep Guardiola). And I think the Arsenal players have given their all to continue playing organized. I salute Arteta who continues to build the squad even though he has not been able to win the Premier League title. We must realize that in the last few seasons The Gunners have indeed become serious challengers and maybe this season they will get their target even though it is difficult.

[BABY SHOES]

Last night's game was so tight (Man City v Arsenal)... Some say Trossard's second yellow card shouldn't have happened and this is a controversy in the media, maybe they are not willing to be rewarded with a second yellow card to red.

What would have happened if Arsenal had played the full game without a red card? Maybe the Gunners would have won as an away game.

We know Manchester City in the second half did a lot of this attack taking advantage of Arsenal's limping situation, so it's natural that the result is a draw... Actually I'm sure Arsenal are not willing to concede in the last minute.

It was a crazy game an I think a draw was the deserved result for the most part.

I think the biggest winner of this weekend was Aston Villa. But keep in mind they didn't play their best game.

Yeah deserved for Manchester City but not for Arsenal in the 90+8th minute is a time that could have been saved, this is unlucky for Arsenal... So they're like really stressed.

There's a lot more controversy on social media especially Fabrizio Romano keeps revealing what the Manchester City players are talking about, and it's dividing Arsenal and Liverpool, while Arsenal have never won this is clearly a provocation... I know it's still a heated situation on the pitch.

[rahmad2nd]

At least Arsenal got a point even though only 1 point was achieved, and it is not easy to match Man City at home because we know that Man City is too strong to play at home, so it is natural that in this match Arsenal expects a draw because it will make it easier for Arsenal in the next match to find full points in the next matches, if they lose then it will be difficult for Arsenal in the future and Arsenal's position will be further away from the top of the Premier League standings.

Arsenal's 1 point at home to Manchester City is enough for them. Arsenal only managed to get points in this match because of their match strategy. There is no doubt that Arsenal's match strategy was very good. Arteta was well aware that Guardiola's Manchester City would play an all-attacking strategy at home. And with this aspect in mind, Arteta has developed his match strategy.

Manchester City played attacking from the start of the match. Manchester City made 33 shots in the entire match. City players have 78% ball possession. and made 11 on target shots. The match was largely dominated by the City players. On the other hand, the target of Arsenal players was to score from the counter attack. And they succeeded. Arsenal players made only 4 shots in the entire match. And they succeeded in scoring two goals. City players dominated the whole match but they did not get the expected result.

It is unusual for Arteta to apply a different pattern even though the other is Manchester City, Arsenal always carries the philosophy of attacking football. Maybe if there were no players who were injured, the situation would be different. Apart from having Odgaard, Merino can also be relied on with his stability and maturity. The point you said is quite reasonable, Arteta doesn't want to lose points in this match so he considers other aspects. The result is quite satisfying by sharing points. Although I was a little annoyed, especially in the second half, City locked Arsenal. Based on statistics, it is clear that City dominated the game, especially in the second half. Arsenal were unable to escape the pressure, it is natural that they played with ten players. One more thing, it is very unfortunate that in the transfer window yesterday Arteta did not bring in a pure striker who can be relied on to score goals consistently. In addition, in this match there were two Arsenal players who seemed to have problems. Calafiori and Timber seemed to have problems, I hope they don't enter the treatment room. IMO, in the match against City, Arteta has a lot of lessons to learn in the future to prepare his team when they host City later at the Emirates. in the next match, I hope Arsenal can appear by giving an epic fight. plus, all Arsenal players recover from their injuries.

[bering]

The match against Arsenal has a victim that it is confirmed Rodri gets the injury and it is thought that he has an ACL injury and as far i know ACL injury takes months to gets recover and i think if this really happend then this could be a big lost for Manchester City because just like we all know Rodri position in Manchester City is irreplaceable and we can see it based on his statistics for each season that Guardiola always be rely on him for defensive midfielder position

Luckily Manchester City has Gundogan who bought from Barcelona this summer so he can be played as defensive midfielder to replace Rodri position and i think Gundogan quality too equal to Rodri and Guardiola still waiting the current condition of Rodri and he still hopes Rodri will not gets long term injury

If you think Arsenal is stronger than Manchester, you are right but that is not the case.  Yes you are absolutely right because Manchester hard work and pace is better than Arsenal. And Manchester has also scored two goals in this match of their strength and effort and has drawn the match. Manchester have played well and strongly away from home and Arsenal have been really good but they haven't been able to match the way you are talking about their strength. But there was some hope that Arsenal would lose the match but they did not succeed and the match was draw and they attack like that in most of the matches and start with themselves so they don't have to face problems in the end. If Manchester had more shots, they would have scored more goals, but Arsenal only allowed two goals and Arsenal only allowed two goals from Manchester. And how could they meet while both are equally dominating each other in the match.

I agree if you say that Arsenal are better this season and I think it's not just because Arsenal's defense is playing well but overall Arsenal's team play is well organized in all lines and also they play much more disciplined now.
The draw in this match was a bit disappointing for Arsenal because Manchester City's reply goal was created at the end of the match but if we look at the overall result of a draw for Arsenal who played at Manchester City's home and played with 10 players since the beginning of the second half is already a pretty good result.

Manchester City escaped losing when they struggled all through the second half to thrash Gunners in the second halve, equaling points was basic and important but on the other hand, it was really consider tough. Describing the performance of Arsenal in Etihad stadium yesterday, I would say they were magnificent, though the red card issued to Leandro Trossard weaken the attack line of Gunners and the defendlines was absolutely disrupt by the Citizens. Pep Guardiola planned his tactics and making it worked do require more efforts from the players. I'm proud of Gunners, it they continue their consistent streaks towards winning, they're already won the big odds of becoming competitive this season, it's just about time to watch Gunners lifting the English Premier League title in Emirate stadium under Mikel Arteta.

At some point Arsenal could have won the match, but it appeared that biased in favor of Manchester City, making it hard for Arsenal to come out on top. Still, kudos to Arsenal for playing with so much heart. so, massive credit to Arteta and the team for their determination and resilience. Every season, Arsenal fans hope to see their team lift the Premier League title. Arsenal is a strong team, and hopefully, this season, they’ll achieve something big.

Not only man city, but Arsenal have stronger rivals, they are Liverpool.  Arsenal are quite a strong team and they have played very well in the past and are still playing very well and they are on the same points as Liverpool in the points table.  And since the Premier League has started for a short time, only a few matches have been played so far, so there are many more matches to be played.  So if Arsenal can continue to play well then they will be doing well.  And they can make you compete with Man City

[KingsDen]

I am neither a Manchester city fan nor an Arsenal fan, but the match between Manchester City and Arsenal that ended in draw was not pleasant to me. I feel that football isn't fair to Arsenal. Arsenal deserved 3 points and I strongly feel they were robbed or football isn't fair with the.

We could say it's football, but I really felt bad at Trossard's second yellow, followed by a red card. That is not a type of match to be giving uncertain yellow cards. This was just a good win for Arsenal but it's unfortunate it didn't happen.

A good time to end City's dominance of the EPL. It's funny how Manchester City might get the title again this season.

Arsenal in this match actually died well in the first round they could compensate for resistance from Man City and Arsenal in front of 1-2. But after they got a red card and had to play with ten Arsenal people who were overwhelmed by Man City attacks. Arsenal is better this season than last season if from Permian troops they only need to continue to be consistent to continue to compete with Man City until the end of the season.

But clearly this fight is very interesting and tense can be seen from the unique moments of the two coaches caught on camera in this fight. Pep Gurdiola was angry and kicked his chair, Arteta covered his face because of frustration in a big battle between Man City and Arsenal. In my opinion this is a good result for Arsenal, because it is not easy when they have to play against 11 people while they have to play with 10 people. Still Lucky Arsenal is not inferior to this fight, because Arsenal played with 10 people from the beginning of the second half.

Bernardo Silva said that in the post match conference so it’s not like Fabrizio Romano gave us a spoiler. I don’t usually watch the post match interviews but I saw the post on twitter and felt very uncomfortable about Bernardo’s comment about facing Arsenal. I don’t think he said that to show respect to Liverpool, I felt like he was trying to downplay Arsenal’s performance at Etihad.

[TelolettOm]

I-snipped--

Arsenal shocked the world today. Many people wrote them off against Manchester City. I know I did. Arsenal were able to keep City fans nervous for the most part of the game in spite of playing with one man down. No one could have predicted that Manchester City would be the side that would be fighting to get an equalizer till the final minutes of the game. It’s special to see that these two managers have a mutual respect for each other despite being strong rivals in the past couple of seasons.

Yes, many people doubt Arsenal can hold Man City, especially considering the club's performance lately. But as usual, they will often be much more all out when playing against their true rivals. Here, Man City, who are more favored.

There's a lot more controversy on social media especially Fabrizio Romano keeps revealing what the Manchester City players are talking about, and it's dividing Arsenal and Liverpool, while Arsenal have never won this is clearly a provocation... I know it's still a heated situation on the pitch.

We can't deny that controversial.
Starting from the decision that caused the red card and quick free kick. Hmm, the rivalry between the two is increasingly visible and tight. There is annoyance in both, Arteta and Pep. And for Pep himself, regarding the following:

Rodir didn't recover fully before he was brought in to that game yesterday and that was one of the reasons he was falling at almost every touch, but later left the pitch and so he could get the needed attention, he wasn't looking happy to leave, I saw his expression how he was really wishing he could stay some more and play but he's health wasn't permitting him to staying that further, thanks  to the replacement they have on ground already els they wouldn't have been able to get a good result from that game.

[Oluwa-btc]

Arsenal managed to hold Manchester City to a draw even though they lost 1 player in at the end of the first half and they started the second half with only 10 players I think this is a fair result for both of them because they are equally strong this season but I have to admit Arsenal's defense is quite strong even though they don't dominate the ball much compared to Manchester City but the Man City players looked very frustrated because the match was very fierce even Arsenal had a 2 goal lead in the first half but in the end Manchester City scored the final goal created by John Stones and finally managed to get 1 point.

Am I the only one who dislike and hate the word manage in this post? Manchester City even at home fought and begged for one point in this game. Maybe they should give praise to Michael Oliver for mishandling this very game. English Premier League officials are not progressing forward truthfully and it breaks my heart to see that they let City players go away with so many wrong decisions they made during the game.


Well, People called this disrespect, I call it rivalry. Maybe it was direct disrespect to Mikel Arteta but, these are the things that makes the league interesting. Not the one Manchester United players did with Liverpool players after they lose 3 nil. Pathetic!!


Well, the news brings no joy to me honestly because this is a player I watch week in and out personally, but Manchester City and Pep Guardiola has big decisions to make for the full season ahead if the news is valid. Can Kovacic do the dirty works alone? Or Rico Lewis would be deployed? Thoughts?!

[Salahmu]

Luckily Manchester City has Gundogan who bought from Barcelona this summer so he can be played as defensive midfielder to replace Rodri position and i think Gundogan quality too equal to Rodri and Guardiola still waiting the current condition of Rodri and he still hopes Rodri will not gets long term injury

I don't even no why Manchester City sold Ilkay Gundogan on the first place because he was an assets to the club and one of the best midfielder, everybody knows how impressive he has been during this number of years he has been playing for Manchester City, however Manchester City is very lucky to have gotten him back to the team because this is the moment they needed him the most because of the Rodri injury that may likely take more longer time before he would be back on his feet.

So with the efficient performance of Gundogan on the midfield he will perfectly cover up well for Rodri since he has been playing with the club for some years now and there is no need in getting use to the club any longer, so is actually good to have him back because Barcelona was not that good as Manchester City is for him.

The call from the referee is enough for any coach to get frustrated, the first yellow card should've been a warning cause the foul wasn't something worth yellow card then the second one is the initial yellow cause Arsenal's player was tough on Bernardo Silver but then the referee's excuse was that Trossard kicked the ball after he blew wistle well the mistake had already been made right from when he gave Trossard the first yellow so I believe it was tough for the referee to resist showing him the second one since he defending poorly against Silver. The match was filled with plenty drama and actions, Manchester City tried to equalize the game but it caused them their key player Rodri. I remember sometime ago when Rodri was not available for several games, it cause Manchester City to lose some games, I just hope what happened last season would not repeat again, well I trust Pep Guardiola would have learnt from the previous season. Arsenal really tried in that game, playing with 10 men against a big club like Manchester City and not losing is not easy, not every club could do that.

we all watched the game, and there is nothing as if it is not easy to face Manchester City arsenal played well and if it was about who deserved to win then I will say that Arsenal deserved the win yesterday, just that we were having a hard time trying to keep up since were already one man down we even tried to keep up, and it was when the game was almost over that they were able to score their second goal and getting an equal point. arteta tried but I am just satisfied with our new pattern.

And people thought that if we played against Manchester City they were going to win, even I had that mindset that we were not going to be able to win against Manchester City not because I didn't have confidence in Arsenal but just because of this defense game. and we still have more chances to dominate this season but we have to make a few changes to our we are playing because we are already playing the clubs that are going to be a problem to us like Aston Villa and even Manchester City, there is still plenty of hope for us.

As the slogan of Arsenal fans every season is "enjoy the moment" and now despite losing but we are quite sure the difference between Man City and Arsenal is getting thinner from season to season Arsenal have always been at the forefront of declaring open war on Pep Guardiola troops. Gradually Arsenal will definitely overthrow the Citizen throne, no one is forever at the top. This draw I feel like a defeat for Man City because when hosting 3 full points is a result that needs to be achieved. Arsenal this season will continue to shadow Man City whenever waiting for the time to slip.

[Lannakosa]

We can't deny that controversial.
Starting from the decision that caused the red card and quick free kick. Hmm, the rivalry between the two is increasingly visible and tight. There is annoyance in both, Arteta and Pep. And for Pep himself, regarding the following:

Arsenal probably had no other choice to get at least one point in this match, probably this is the first match when I watched how in such an important match, one of the teams (one of the contenders for the title), spent the whole half in their penalty area with the whole team. It seems to me that Arteta gave a practical guide on how other teams should act against City.  

Of course I'm kidding, if all matches against City were played according to this scenario, it would be the most boring football, but this match was not boring but very tense, and the fact that City could not equalize for so long made this half very short, the time passed very quickly. I think a draw is a fair score for such a match, City saved first place, and by the way Aston Villa is quite close to City, and Chelsea have risen well.

[Accardo]

the match was filled with plenty drama and actions, Manchester City tried to equalize the game but it caused them their key player Rodri. I remember sometime ago when Rodri was not available for several games, it cause Manchester City to lose some games, I just hoe what happened last season would not repeat again, well I trust Pep Guardiola would have learnt from the previous season. Arsenal really tried in that game, playing with 10 men against a big club like Manchester City and not losing is not easy, not every club could do that.

It would have ended as a match with an intensive drama, but Arsenal by going all defense in the second half messed the game up. The strategy was poorly formed, not even a striker was outside the 18 yard box to try a counter attack. Why wouldn't they try to attack Man city?  Those moment the gunners decided to defend their goal, I knew it'll end up a draw.

[Issa56]

We could say it's football, but I really felt bad at Trossard's second yellow, followed by a red card. That is not a type of match to be giving uncertain yellow cards. This was just a good win for Arsenal but it's unfortunate it didn't happen.

What causes Trossard’s red card in the match was lack of discipline, he already knows the rules, and he knows that he is already having a yellow card, he should be cautious and shouldn’t even try crazy things. I don’t know the reason why people keep on saying that the red card wasn’t deserved. At least next time any player with a yellow card won’t try something like that, why did he play the ball even after the whistle has been blown already? Arsenal were just unlucky in the match, even with the red card, they will have been able to maintain the win. Manchester City equalized during the extra time given, which some Arsenal fans still complained that the 8 minutes was too much.

A good time to end City's dominance of the EPL. It's funny how Manchester City might get the title again this season.

I don’t think any club will be able to compete with Manchester City for the league title this season, the only club that will try is Arsenal, and I am not yet satisfied with their pattern of play.
