Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Luzin]

The Tottenham team is also not in very good form. But I will say that Tottenham's overall performance is better than Manchester United's performance. At least the players in Tottenham's forward lineup are performing better than United's. So I will consider Tottenham as favorite in this match.

Tottenham and Man United both had bad starts. In fact, I think Man United must find a new coach. Changing the coach is actually not a bad thing either, just look at Chelsea at the moment. It seems that they are starting to get a good game pattern. I saw Chelsea and I was quite impressed with their progress.  Currently, their game is much better than ETH even though they have a new coach not long ago. Right now it's just a matter of management to find the right coach. A coach who is able to compete in the EPL and maximize the potential of each player. I think there are still many selected coaches that they are able to bring in. Of course, with a better contract agreement, so that they are able to evaluate at any time. If they lose tonight, Man United Management should immediately fire him.

Obviously there is rival in top four in the premier league table and it was a big blow for Manchester City dropping point by 1:1 draw against Newcastle United yesterday, I must say that draw game encourage Liverpool in maximizing their chances as they won with 1:2 against wolves, Liverpool is sitting at the top of the table followed by Manchester City and Arsenal 3th and cheese 4th.

You don't know what Manchester city is passing through in this new season, and still they are still maintaining no defeat from any team than to win some matches and draw some matches. if Newcastle couldn't defeated Manchester city in their home than to draw 1-1, despite some challenges Manchester city is going through and the match ended up 1-1 draw, it show Manchester city will still repeat what happened last premier league competition to embraced the title again, because their head coach will start using the right players through out the season.

With the mentality of Manchester City, a draw is very much a defeat. For a team that has maintained winning streak from the start of the season and goals weren’t lacking up until Arsenal where they almost lost if not for that last minute J. Stone’s moment, something seems to have changed in the play.
Perhaps it’s the absence of Kevin De Bruyne. Newcastle didn’t make it easy for them either ways, they did there most to get a deserving draw from Manchester City and that was a good one.

Yes, as you rightly mentioned, Manchester City's expectations are very high, with every draw indeed feeling like a defeat. Starting the season on a winning streak set a high bar, and the recent matches - particularly the one against Arsenal - have appeared to reveal a turning point in their performance. The absence of key player Kevin De Bruyne no doubt had a significant impact. Also, the credit goes to Newcastle for their performance; they put up a strong fight and capitalised on City's vulnerability to secure a draw. Overall, a thrilling game and an interesting twist in this season's dynamic.

I really think that only Manchester City fans feel badly with this draw and others are either very neutral or happy with this result. Because it helps to make Premier League more exciting and more competitive for other clubs.

Now the table is like this

Liverpool 6 15
Manchester City 6 14
Arsenal 6 14
Chelsea 6 13
Aston Villa 5 12

If Aston Villa win, they will rank up to a second position and co-share two first positions with Liverpool. In addition, it's really good to see many big clubs are in top ranking area and it's possibly make the title race more exciting.

I didn’t think we would ever see Chelsea at this level again after Ancelotti. Nobody thought Chelsea would be this good. I assumed they would struggle just like Manchester United are currently doing, but it seems Chelsea has moved on to a different level with Enzo Maresca. I think Brighton were lucky to have lost by only four goals, the other two goals missed by Palmer could have made it six goals. Fabian Hürzeler said this about Palmer after the game:

"There aren't many players like Cole Palmer in the Premier League. He's special. He punished every single mistake we made. You can't stop him."

Chelsea has never been on this level in a long while like I said on one of my post that I don't trust Chelsea after the win against Barrow. I only hope they continue with this winning numbers and scoring of goals because it will make the other opponent be scared of coming out to challenge them and Manchester City would be mindful of the Blues too not only Arsenal. The manager to me is not even the one to applaud for this awesome performance because he has never spoken anything positive like the target of Chelsea winning trophies or competing for trophies. Let the players continue the way they are playing.
Cole Palmer will always be the key player for Chelsea and the manager shouldn't choke him with the work load, he needs help because the day Palmer won't be on the pitch due to injury or something, I don't see Chelsea playing the way they did yesterday and he (Enzo) should try and be bringing Nkunku always to start to regain his form because ones he's back like then at Leipzig I don't see any team stopping the Blues, that's where Enzo Maresca need to work on to support the team, bringing in serious players and dropping selfish players like Madueke.

Leicester City are really pushing muscles since the beginning of the season, from round 1 to this current round 6 Leicester City has been scoring goals to their opponent team, they must be really fighting so hard not to go back to relegation.

Manchester City failed to win two consecutive matches, which means they are in trouble now and it is inseparable from several of their main players who are injured, making the team's performance quite disrupted.
It is very unfortunate that when Manchester City was already ahead by 1 goal, in the second half Newcastle was able to reply to the goal and overall the performance of both teams in this match was quite balanced so that the final result of the match was a draw.

Leicester City has not found its first victory so far and it must be admitted that the competition in the Premier League is quite fierce and Leicester City is having a hard time with that.
This week Leicester City has done their best but their opponent is too tough, Arsenal, Leicester City had to concede in the final minutes of the match, it was quite painful for Leicester City.

I won't even say that Manchester city are in trouble because they draw their match against Newcastle united. Liverpool are currently topping the league table right now, but few weeks ago they lost against Nottingham forest and today they are topping the league. So Manchester city getting a draw is not that bad. No team in the current premier League era can win the league without drawing or losing a few games. All teams in the premier League will definitely drop points at one point or the order. At least Manchester city is still in the top 4 and Pep Guardiola know how to navigate his team. This is the best time for the league rivals to accumulate as many points as possible, because when Manchester city will start winning matches, it will be difficult for any team to stop them.

It was cold outside today lol. Cole Palmer made history today as the first player in the Premier League to score four goals in the first half of a game. His free kick was beautiful, I watched the replay like four times already. Cole Palmer is on a different level. No wonder he’s being compared to Lamine Yamal. Kudos to Cole Palmer he was superb in every aspect of the game.

Chelsea had a great game today, nobody really so that coming. We all know Brighton had a great record this season, they haven't lost any game. Both Brighton and Chelsea were really poor defensively, but the Chelsea Attack was on fire. Big ups to Maresca and his boys.

Cole Palmer just can't stop improving in every game he plays for his darling club Chelsea. His record breaking performance today in Chelsea's victory against Brighton is a strong indication that the England international's impressive records for Chelsea last season didn't happen by luck but because he's got the qualities of a world class footballer.
Saying Cole Palmer is being compared to Lamine Yamal I think is a disrespect to Palmer who has already shown his potentials before Yamal came to limelight. If Cole Palmer can continue with this kind of performance he displayed today, Chelsea might be winning the English Premier League title this season

Cole Palmer really had one of the best games of his career and made history as the first player to score 4 goals in 20 minutes, but I think it's too early to say that Chelsea can win the EPL this year, because Arsenal and Manchester City are also showing a great game.
Also Manchester City always start the season weak, but in the second part of the season they add a lot to the quality of their game and almost never lose, so it will be very difficult for Chelsea to fight with such teams at the end of the season, besides Chelsea's game is very much dependent on Palmer and without him Chelsea looks like a completely different team.
I don't remember Chelsea's game depending so much on one player, well maybe when Azar was at the dawn of his powers and could single-handedly bring victories to the team, since then there hasn't been such a clear star in Chelsea's lineup.
I agree only with the fact that Palmer is a much stronger player than Yamal, his statistics of goals and assists are many times better than Yamal's and if Southgate was not afraid to release him more often, I think things could have worked out much better for the England national team.

Man City is a bit behind after drawing two matches in a row. They drew 2-2 against Arsenal, although the team Man city avoided defeat at the last minute. If john stones failed to score in the last minute, City would have lost. On the other hand, despite scoring an early goal against Newcastle, they were unable to win in the end. Anthony Gordon equalized 1-1 in the 58th minute. But Liverpool team resolute in their intentions. Their win against Wolverhampton has now moved them behind points table leaders Manchester City. All the top 4 teams are competing well at the moment. Liverpool will try to maintain this consistency. Even though Manchester City have drawn two matches they have not yet lost any match in this season so they will try to go back to the first position.

Injuries to several key Manchester City players have greatly affected Manchester City's performance and that has been proven when they drew two consecutive matches, this clearly shows a decline in the quality of the Manchester City team because they also do not have adequate cover to be able to cover the gap left by injured players so that the rotation carried out by Pep Guardiola did not run smoothly.

Meanwhile, Liverpool continues to show positive performance and victory over Wolverhampton is a natural thing because Liverpool is indeed much stronger in terms of quality.
And for the position in the Premier League standings at this time, I think it does not have a big impact, it is still early in the season and all teams still have to continue to improve their performance.

The negative results achieved by Manchester City in the two matches actually did not make them lose their favorite status as champions, but indeed losing points in important matches will obviously make their journey difficult, I think the loss of Rodri and also De Bruyne not the main factor that made them fail to beat Newcastle in that match, because Guardiola did field substitutes who were no less good than De Bruyne and also Rodri in the match In my opinion, the solidity of the defense and also the midfield built by Newcastle in the match is clearly the reason why they have difficulty breaking into the Newcastle goal.

Liverpool have shown how their mentality in that match as title contenders this season, although it was difficult to dismantle the wolves defense but finally they were able to win the match although it was difficult because of the resistance from wolves, the achievement of 3 points in the match against wolves makes them now manage to seize the top of the standings from Manchester City who in the other match drew with Newcastle.

[Out of mind]

Manchester United vs Tottenham Today's match between the two teams though we can confirm that Manchester United is more likely to go. But the current situation of Manchester United's game is very difficult to trust them, comparatively Manchester United is not able to play following their best performance. If Manchester United can't have the best performance and strong attack in today's match, then there is a possibility of losing the match against Tottenham. 
The odds in casinos for betting on today's match guide Manchester United to win, but if Tottenham can attack strongly, it will be difficult for Manchester United to win. Moreover, the betting odds for today's match are 1x2...
Manchester united @ 2.20
Draw                         @ 3.75
Tottenham               @ 3.00

Chelsea's problems are not about having a bad coach or having bad players but they main problem for them is about the bad managers and owners they have there and even all the fans know the reason why Chelsea couldn't have good performance recently. Just spending a huge amount of money can't solve anything in Chelsea and they need a more stable situation in this team.
For example, I think Pochettino had a good performance when he was working there and he made this team younger by hiring some young talents and selling old expensive players. But they got him fired and they started working with Maresca which was the wrong move.

Liverpool finally succeeded in taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the main position from Manchester City. Newcastle forced Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at St. James' Park, but this is not the end of it.

Nobody said that was their end, neither is anyone doubting Guardiola's strategy, but the final result remains an uncertainty regardless of how they who's playing against who. I always knew this wasn't a straight win for City; I even made a sorta prediction in Holly's thread about it the previous day.

A low points gap like now is difficult for the top of the standings to maintain, of course because of pressure and so on. However, if Liverpool is consistent with their performance, then they can lead the standings for the next few weeks.

Liverpool's consistency should have been proven long ago with the fact that they haven't conceived too many goals since the season began. Have you taken a good look at the table? I'm not gonna be surprised that they're bagging this trophy this time around with the level of fine form they have.

[Salahmu]

I won't even say that Manchester city are in trouble because they draw their match against Newcastle united. Liverpool are currently topping the league table right now, but few weeks ago they lost against Nottingham forest and today they are topping the league. So Manchester city getting a draw is not that bad. No team in the current premier League era can win the league without drawing or losing a few games. All teams in the premier League will definitely drop points at one point or the order.

For now let's not conclude yet about Manchester City being in trouble because the season is still very far ahead and secondly Manchester City position on the premier League table is not that bad to consider them being in trouble on this league, though we no that they were leading the table but has drop to the second position, so actually is always like that and hopefully they will be back on track very soon because we all no that there are seasons Manchester City go through a serious challenges because of injuries and some other things but they manage to come out strong at the end.

Though I was very disappointed in them on there match against Newcastle United because it was a draw that should have never happened on the first place because Newcastle has lost so many matches to the clubs Manchester City is much more stronger than.

[SatoPrincess]

Enzo Maresca has reshaped the mentality of Chelsea, they are scoring more goals and trying to win the game as early as possible in the first half like we saw against Brighton. Chelsea have a strong attacking record, they only need to strengthen their defense because to be a title contender, you have to concede less goals. The competition this season is very tight, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are strong teams and can secure the title with just a point.

[Jossque]

Arsenal hosted Leicester at home. Arsenal played a good game as they beat Leicester 4-2 at home in a shooting coma. They could have scored more goals but luck was not on their side. Arsenal had 36 shots throughout the match, 16 of which were on target. He scored four of them. Leicester City didn't have much of the ball. Justin scored 2 goals but they couldn't do much in the game so they had no chance to win. It was strange that Arsenal conceded 2 goals when they didn't give that many chances.

As the hosts, Newcastle are certainly very aware that the opponents they face are very tough and very strong opponents this season so a draw for Newcastle is something very good as hosts in that match. In fact, I think Manchester City really lost because they had to share points with Newcastle in that match so that has put them in second place in the standings at this time even though Manchester City are only one point behind Liverpool at this time. But still, a draw is something that Manchester City really did not want at the weekend.

[Plaguedeath]

One great player doesn't represent the whole players.

Chelsea have many mediocre players especially their defenders, their strikers also not really that great. If Palmer wasn't there, Chelsea is nothing different than Manchester United. Maresca really need to prepare if Palmer suffer injuries, there are no great attacking midfielders than him even Nkunku not able to play as great as Palmer.

Looking at how big Palmer's contribution to Chelsea, it's really surprising Southgate not choose him to play in EURO.

[Jossque]

Chelsea crushed Brighton, who have no defeat yet. Chelsea managed to score 4 goals in their home game and handed Brighton their first defeat. Palmer managed to score a hattrick in 10 minutes. Palmer scored his team's and his own 4th goal in the 41st minute and had a great game for himself. All of the goals came in the first half and Chelsea got their 4th win in the 6th week.

Obviously there is rival in top four in the premier league table and it was a big blow for Manchester City dropping point by 1:1 draw against Newcastle United yesterday, I must say that draw game encourage Liverpool in maximizing their chances as they won with 1:2 against wolves, Liverpool is sitting at the top of the table followed by Manchester City and Arsenal 3th and cheese 4th.

You don't know what Manchester city is passing through in this new season, and still they are still maintaining no defeat from any team than to win some matches and draw some matches. if Newcastle couldn't defeated Manchester city in their home than to draw 1-1, despite some challenges Manchester city is going through and the match ended up 1-1 draw, it show Manchester city will still repeat what happened last premier league competition to embraced the title again, because their head coach will start using the right players through out the season.

I knew that Manchester City will feel so disappointed by their draw with Newcastle but it seems Arsenal also faced similar fate and this might be some form of consolation for Manchester City.  The greatest beneficiary of those draws is Liverpool that used that opportunity to climb to the top of the league. But I don't think that Liverpool will be able to maintain that lead for a long time because the team is not that formidable. The coming weeks will actually show how the league will go.

Justin scored 2 goals but they couldn't do much in the game so they had no chance to win. It was strange that Arsenal conceded 2 goals when they didn't give that many chances.

36 shots are a lot if Leicester's goalkeeper doesn't perform well of course a rain of goals will occur, Arsenal really went crazy they dominated every corner of the field, even though there was a mistake at the beginning of the second half Leicester was able to equalize but in the end in the last minute 2 goals were scored by Arteta's troops This victory puts Arsenal in 3rd place in the standings with the same number of points as Man City in second place and only one point behind the leader of the standings, Liverpool, approaching the middle of this season the competition is getting tighter. Every competitor is required to always be consistent in every match if they don't want to be shifted from the standings, this is what I expect to see the Premier League getting hotter.

Ipswich vs Aston Villa

Ipswich (confirmed lineup): Arijanet Muric, Axel Tuanzebe, Dara O'Shea, Jacob Greaves, Leif Davis, Sam Morsy, Kalvin Phillips, Chiedozie Ogbene, Omari Hutchinson, Jack Clarke, Liam Delap.

Aston Villa (confirmed lineup): Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne, Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, Leon Bailey, Morgan Rogers, Jacob Ramsey, Ollie Watkins.

It almost five seasons since when this two meet for the Championship match and Aston Villa won the match 2-1, Aston Villa have the opportunity to lead the table but with goals like 3 to 4 goals to overtake Liverpool that are there now with 15 points and 12 goals in total which Aston Villa currently had 12 points and 10 goals so if eventually Aston Villa wins with more goals then they can take the place. Currently Ipswich are in relegation zone with 3 points and have only a  conceded goal different between them and Aston Villa, this statistics show that Ipswich work harder to minimise the conceded goals which means their defence line are really putting more strength, so Aston Villa have a lot to do with that to gain access to the top of the table.
