Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[knowngunman]

Haaland is a player who has a big influence on his team because his performance has contributed greatly to making him a player who is currently ranked highest in goals scored. I can't imagine what it would be like if he had a serious injury so he had to be absent for some time, would it affect his team or not, but what is certain is that if Haaland had an injury, Pep would definitely find a way to overcome it even though it would be difficult for him, after all, it is rare for something like this to happen.
I agree with you, whether Manchester City wins or not, the big chance is that Haaland will probably be the player who scores the most goals, as long as he doesn't get injured, I think this will really happen.

Well, in as much as injury is not avoidable, it is not something both the players, the couch and even the fans want to hear about a player. If it eventually happens, it's not the first time Haaland is getting injured. It happened last season or previous two seasons. I can't really recall the exact season but it happened and he was still able to maintain the lead even after being out for several weeks. I won't be surprised if the same thing happen this season. As we can see from the stats, Haaland is already leading with a gap of two goals and Palmer who's second on the table doesn't have equal support like Haaland to score goals as much as possible. Palmer scored four in their last match by the way but we still have a long way to go since we are just six games away out of the thirty eight.

Why do they have to crop only Manchester United out in that No 12. That's an awkward position for them, I remember last season I was constantly mocking Chelsea players for always being in that position as if it's their birth rite. Things are really falling apart. Erik Ten Hang is handling Manchester United as if he didn't play the pre-season with the players. As if he is getting to know them. It's disgusting please.

To crown it all, he has the full assurance and confidence that he has the management backing. Who knows the kind of contract that he signs with them that is making him this confident?

as I was saying, something is wrong with the team, and the results demonstrate it, gentlemen
a team like that, nicknamed the red furies, can't go that badly
It's really urgent to make drastic changes and it's not something you can procrastinate for too long, given that the team isn't working well.

Not only Erik Ten Hag but the entire United management including Ineos and Sir Jim seemed to be silent about the club problems. I don't know what happened behind the scenes why they didn't dare to give Ten Hag a warning. This is very strange and quite suspicious with the situation of the club on the verge of collapse but as if there is no warning response at all. Wasted recruitment, poor results, a self righteous coach, the club silence suggests something is not right. Or they really deliberately want to drag the club into a worse condition.

[barisbilgili]

For now, ten Hag remains the Manchester United coach, but the pressure on him will clearly increase. The results are very bad and the pressure on him is definitely growing, everything can be decided in the upcoming matches in Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League. Both opponents are strong enough to beat Manchester United, who cannot find their game. I think that they are in no hurry to fire ten Hag because the club will lose €21m according to the early termination of the contract with him. During his stay in the team, ten Hag bought 15 players for a total of more than €600m, and won only the FA Cup and the League Cup.

The pressure is very big now and precisely because of that pressure, it makes Ten Hag increasingly difficult to develop the team that is currently slumping, Manchester United management seems to have no other choice but to retain Ten Hag but in the next few matches I think if Ten Hag still fails then it is not impossible that the peak of anger will be seen and Ten Hag will be fired, regardless of the losses that will be borne by the Manchester United team but that is one way to make the Manchester United team rise compared to retaining Ten Hag but the team is getting slumped.

[Solokan]

Just like i predicted before because the loses from Tottenham makes some of media has starting to make the speculation about Ten Hag future in Manchester United because according to the news i have read recently Manchester United owner will not give Ten Hag more time to improved the performance of this team and they will see when Manchester United fight against FC Porto in champion league and against Aston Villa in premier league and if Manchester United lost from those matches then certainly he would be sacked

Manchester United have already to lost 3 times in the last 6 matches in Premier league they even only able to gets 1 win at their home ground Old Trafford and this is one of the worst starts in the team's history so it's normal if the owner and the fans starting to worried to see the performance of this team but if Ten Hag sacked i think Manchester United also not in the good situation because they have to pay all Ten Hag's salaries according to the duration of his contract which is until 2026 and the amount is quite high approximately 21 million

Indeed, this is of course a very confusing situation for Manchester United because if they keep Ten Hag, if it doesn't make Manchester United achieve a good ranking and progress in the quality of players and good play, of course keeping Ten Hag will make Manchester United crumble a little bit and of course it doesn't rule out the possibility that it could happen.Manchester United will be relegated from the English Premier League if their performance continues to decline.

but I think it's a wise and good decision to give Ten Hag time to be able to show his prowess in arranging formations and strategies against Aston Villa and Porto because after all of course giving Ten Hag time to improve Manchester United is of course a good thing because then we will see Ten Hag's best abilities in making his best strategy.

indeed if Ten Hag was fired It's really very confusing because Manchester United will definitely have to pay a large amount of money because Ten Hag's contract is until 2026. But yes, we'll see what happens later and honestly I can only hope that Ten Hag can improve Manchester United so that he doesn't get fired. and even if Ten Hag is fired, hopefully Manchester United can bring in a good coach and can make Manchester United make good progress.

As we can see from the stats, Haaland is already leading with a gap of two goals and Palmer who's second on the table doesn't have equal support like Haaland to score goals as much as possible. Palmer scored four in their last match by the way but we still have a long way to go since we are just six games away out of the thirty eight.

He's leading 4 goals from Palmer, not 2.

Palmer is possible to become a top scorer since Chelsea don't have a reliable striker, that's why Palmer can take this task.

Not only Erik Ten Hag but the entire United management including Ineos and Sir Jim seemed to be silent about the club problems. I don't know what happened behind the scenes why they didn't dare to give Ten Hag a warning. This is very strange and quite suspicious with the situation of the club on the verge of collapse but as if there is no warning response at all. Wasted recruitment, poor results, a self righteous coach, the club silence suggests something is not right. Or they really deliberately want to drag the club into a worse condition.

But, Manchester United already sign many good players, so I think the problem is the coach, not other management. We saw many pointless and useless players signed by Manchester United in the past, but they've learn and now they're on the right track.

If they already have good players but still not able to win, now it's Ten Hag's problem.

[G_Besar]

The pressure is very big now and precisely because of that pressure, it makes Ten Hag increasingly difficult to develop the team that is currently slumping, Manchester United management seems to have no other choice but to retain Ten Hag but in the next few matches I think if Ten Hag still fails then it is not impossible that the peak of anger will be seen and Ten Hag will be fired, regardless of the losses that will be borne by the Manchester United team but that is one way to make the Manchester United team rise compared to retaining Ten Hag but the team is getting slumped.

The slump of a team like Manchester United will clearly be very embarrassing for the management and also the Manchester United fans who have been very numerous so far, especially if they are relegated at the end of the season. Clearly that will be very disappointing for Manchester United as a whole because the team that has entrusted Ten Hag as a coach should have a special reason for this because if a coach cannot maximize the players who are already on the team, it will actually be more detrimental to the Manchester United team itself.

[Uruhara]

The pressure is very big now and precisely because of that pressure, it makes Ten Hag increasingly difficult to develop the team that is currently slumping, Manchester United management seems to have no other choice but to retain Ten Hag but in the next few matches I think if Ten Hag still fails then it is not impossible that the peak of anger will be seen and Ten Hag will be fired, regardless of the losses that will be borne by the Manchester United team but that is one way to make the Manchester United team rise compared to retaining Ten Hag but the team is getting slumped.

Well, Ten Hag has clearly been under a lot of pressure since last season and continuing into this season. And in this condition I also cannot deny that he is having difficulty developing the team with this pressure. But a professional coach must still be able to bring about positive change even under pressure. And one thing that is certain right now is that Ten Hag is not a good fit at Man Utd. I think Man utd needs a coach with a different coaching style than Ten Hag. Ten Hag might be successful at another club. But I think he will have difficulty developing Man Utd no matter what.

[SmartCharpa]

Erik Ten Hag would have been sacked last season, but the club management decided to keep him after Manchester United won the FA Cup finals. This season's performance is becoming worse with some shameful defeats. If the management thinks that the Dutch coach should be sacked, the ideal time to do it is now that the season is still free. So that a new coach will be able to blend with the players before January.

The club can also give out more funds to a new coach to bring in the kind of players he needs in the January transfer opening. It is troubling to see one of the best and most highly decorated clubs struggling to survive. Ten Hag should be given some time, maybe three more games, to check his capabilities. The game against FC Porto, Aston Villa, and Brentford should be used as his final test to check if he can continue with United.

In my opinion, Ten Hag did not deserve to be given more time at the club, and I do not expect much from him. It's a shame that one of the world's best teams is struggling to win a game. If the management thinks of sacking Ten Hag, now is the time to do so because the season is only starting, they have only won two of the six games played this season, and the management does not have to wait for more games because Manchester United will definitely lose their next Europa League game, Ten Hags was lucky to win the trophy in the previous two seasons, management can not expect that to happen again this season.

It will be a very challenging match for Southampton who is yet to really stand well in the EPL. just 17 minutes of play and they are already one goal down and still suffering unprecedented pressures from Bournemouth who are super strong at home and very good at converting their chances. At the 31st minute the second goal was scored making it 2-0 and I don't know how Southampton will be able to recover from this goal. They should just play to stop further goals because I feel Bournemouth might still score more.

Southampton's performance continued to be bad since the start of the season, showing that the Premier League is more difficult than the Championship, where they competed last season. Bournemouth scored three goals against them in less than 40 minutes, and they were always looking strong at home. According to the style of the game, I believed Bournemouth would earn an extra point against Southampton because they haven't been strong this season. T. Hardwood-Beliis equalized in the 51st minute of the game, ending in a 3:1 score. Southampton management needed to take serious steps before it was too late, if they didn't want to be relegated, they needed to improve their performance.

[Fuso.hp]

Liverpool are now top of the Premier League table. For the first time in four seasons, I’m beginning to have doubts that Manchester City will win the league. Injuries have not been kind to City, it will be a long time before they can get a replacement for Rodri, before then the damage may already be done. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea are looking very good this season and one of them are likely to win the title this season.

Before this round, City were favourites with odds of around 2.4 and Arsenal were just behind at 2.5. But Liverpool were priced very poorly (6.50), Chelsea even worse (26.0). Tomorrow the last game of this round will be played and bookmakers will update the odds for the title. It is very likely that City will no longer be favourites and may even fall to third place.
I am quite pleased. And I am also pleased that Ten Hag's dismissal is apparently inevitable.

Nothing surprises. City faced a setback in their game against Newcastle. Their opponents fully farmed three points. It's really changing the odds a lot for the winner. But, I guess, the outright is always changing. It will until we're closer to the late season. The same situation may be happening again.

City was unfavored until mid-season. But, they regained their top spot by season's end. Surprisingly, Chelsea is slowly but surely trying to enter into the title race too. It's probably we will have 4 teams to compete for the title.

Seing Chelsea in 4th position is quite impressive. I could remember last season b this time they were in the 12th position struggling. Now they are doing better and growing everyday  in performance. This simply implies that Enzo Maresca is doing a great job in the team, followed by the most talented player in Chelsea right now which is Cole Palmer. Although the fact that you mentioned Chelsea being trying to compete for the race is something i will disagree with you on. This is only but the beginning of the EPL games. Only 6 matches has been played and i dont expect Chelsea to completely remain focus throughout the season. They will have bad times and good times as well. Compared to the teams that are above them, Chelsea is no match right now for them no matter their level of improvement.

Manchester City drew against Newcastle in their sixth match and Liverpool won 2-1 against Wolves from above and it was here that Manchester City and Liverpool opened up a point gap that moved Liverpool to the number one position in the points table. Liverpool seem a bit more aggressive this season than last season. So far Liverpool are playing according to the right plan. I didn't expect the team to do so well under the new manager, but the manager is playing a good role in making the team win every match by applying his full skills. If Liverpool can move forward according to the right plan, then Liverpool will be able to compete with Manchester City or Arsenal in the end

[sokani]

Why do they have to crop only Manchester United out in that No 12. That's an awkward position for them, I remember last season I was constantly mocking Chelsea players for always being in that position as if it's their birth rite. Things are really falling apart. Erik Ten Hang is handling Manchester United as if he didn't play the pre-season with the players. As if he is getting to know them. It's disgusting please.

To crown it all, he has the full assurance and confidence that he has the management backing. Who knows the kind of contract that he signs with them that is making him this confident?

For now It may seem as if ETH has the backing of the board because they're mute but I think he's living on borrowed time. United may not have the habit of sacking coaches like Chelsea does but they're weighing the option, and they next few games are very critical and will decide his fate. If he loses the match against Porto and Aston Villa, it may just be the last straw that breaks the carmel's back. I think he's killing the team, the crop of players he has are not that bad and I expect him to be sacked soon.  

[Litzki1990]

What's the situation for Manchester United fans? Their fate is in the hands of the coach and the players, relenting and unable to deliver their best. Manchester United not in form this season, they've been trying so hard to bounced back to competitive form this season but alot going on right now. The Glazers family are simply the ones incharge, they know what to do inother for the purpose to ensure the club progresses to next level, but what baffles me is why are they not doing it? Sack Erik Ten Hag and you will have open smooth run for the club, the development of the Red devils are dormant, nothing seems to be working with Erik Ten Hag game strategy, this is really sad.

Furthermore, pouring blames on Erik Ten Hag for the current position of Manchester United? There are quite more to it because the players are suffering from fatigue and most of them are not at their peak, making everything slow for the club. On the other part, how confident is Erik Ten Hag concerning his longevity in Manchester United? He doesn't look troubled to me, he's well relaxed as if nothing happens. The board ought to make things right because everything currently falling apart for the Red Devils, the theater of dreams have been ruined to shackles, becoming a common ground where both elite and average clubs accumulates three points without facing tough challenge.

For now, ten Hag remains the Manchester United coach, but the pressure on him will clearly increase. The results are very bad and the pressure on him is definitely growing, everything can be decided in the upcoming matches in Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League. Both opponents are strong enough to beat Manchester United, who cannot find their game. I think that they are in no hurry to fire ten Hag because the club will lose €21m according to the early termination of the contract with him. During his stay in the team, ten Hag bought 15 players for a total of more than €600m, and won only the FA Cup and the League Cup.

If Manchester United start questioning him, he will not be able to answer because Manchester United have given him the freedom to buy the players he wants at the club. When the player is needed Manchester United manager has appointed that player to the club but after spending so much money he has not done anything good with this team. It is not the failure of the players but the failure of the entire manager here and it is normal that the pressure will increase on him. If you can't do well when competing with a weak team, it's a different matter, but the accountability of why he is not able to show good performance on the field even after arranging the team according to his wishes, but the management should definitely ask him. 
Perhaps with the way the team has performed under him, it looks like this season will be his last at Manchester United.

Manchester United have lost their way since Alex Ferguson left, various managers have been brought in but none of them have managed to live up to expectations. Now the situation is getting worse, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not taken action on the negative results that his team continues to achieve. It is natural for suspicions to arise from various parties about this because the management considers it as if nothing is happening. It looks like Manchester United fans will have to boycott the match held at Old Trafford so that the management will take action soon.

Close fight for first place! I'm really curious to see how it evolves. Leicester increasingly in crisis with 3 points

[SatoPrincess]

Manchester United are far from being impressive this season. They were mediocre last season, and this season they have still not gotten any better. I used to have little faith in Erik Ten Hag because he manages to win big games against top teams in the league but against Spurs his poor management and ideas was exposed again. Manchester United suffer inconsistency under Erik Ten Hag and even after the game he still feels confident the board are strongly behind him.

It’s been a really tough season for Man United, and that’s a fact now. Two months in, and they’re far from reaching the top 4 or scoring enough goals.
The management could do the fans a favor by sacking the coach and focusing on real improvements. So giving him an extra year on his contract was a big mistake. If you're not doing well, no matter the cost, you should be fired. It’s better to sack him and pay off that amount than to keep giving him more money without results.

Once again every time we discuss about Ten Hag, I try to respond objectively. without taking sides, without judging. what is clear, I rarely watch Manchester United matches. Ten Hag is a coach who has many plans and tactics, but so far there seems to be no significant development. I want to give my opinion further, but to be sure I have to watch match after match played by United. referring to the statistics of the match against Spurs, United played a mess. even though as we know, they brought in several newcomers in the summer transfer market last year. either the system has not been able to be run well by United's players, or Ten Hag's tactics are easy to read and have many gaps. or, the United players themselves are the problem. so, I have to try to analyze it by watching their matches directly. my guess is, the problem still lies with some of United's players. because, they should have known very well the gameplay that must be run. however, their performance is messy. well, this is just my guess for now before I watch some of the matches they play later.

[As-Soon-As]

Manchester United are far from being impressive this season. They were mediocre last season, and this season they have still not gotten any better. I used to have little faith in Erik Ten Hag because he manages to win big games against top teams in the league but against Spurs his poor management and ideas was exposed again. Manchester United suffer inconsistency under Erik Ten Hag and even after the game he still feels confident the board are strongly behind him.

Manchester City is so weak at the moment just because of Erik ten Hag, because he has been with the team for so long. So he pushes his team to destruction at the last minute, the unique club has tried hard to reach the highest level from the lowest level. But the Manchester United team is only going towards the bottom of the points table, and losing again and again with the normal teams. So a striker is most needed in the squad of Manchester United team and changing the manager is the most suitable for the present time, because the change of coach will change the game of Manchester United team and with other teams they can definitely win by adopting better and better strategies.

[asriloni]

I have this feeling that Manchester United have everything sorted out about their next manager but it has to be delayed maybe till  the current coach contract expires that's if ETH hasn't killed the team completely. I see the assistant coach van Nistelrooy as a possible candidate to take the job after ETH might have left, this is something the board of directors are some how hiding from the public, I'm just saying but it might be true. If van Nistelrooy takes over I think he can do perfectly well and even have better relationship with the players, that relationship is what Erik ten Heg is really lacking with the squad.

It's impossible for Manchester United to wait till the end of Ten Hag's contract just to replace him. They handed him a new contract extension until June 2026. You're right; he has not completely killed his team, but he almost buried his club with the way he coached them.

They're falling out of the top 10 under him. It's still early in the season, but their stats are worse than last season's after six games. They rarely show improvement in their performance.

It's hard to accept the reality, but this is what happened to them. The only solution is to sack him. I don't even see a better solution than it.

And some names are starting to appear to be his replacement.



I think South Gate is a very good replacement for him.

[wozzek23]

Manchester City is in good condition, and Pep Guardiola does not need to do anything to revive Manchester City's performance based on their last two matches in the Premier League, which ended in a draw. Manchester City's last two matches in the Premier League were against two clubs who are currently performing well in the league, and that is the reason why Manchester City didn't beat Arsenal and Newcastle United in their first meeting in the Premier League. Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have won the Premier League title for four consecutive seasons, and if they fail to defend it this season, it is normal because they are not the only clubs in the Premier League.

In last four games which played by Manchester City 3 at home and one at the St James Park we are having 3 draws and 1 win against Watford mean their performance is on decline due to injuries, but currently they are having good advantage with their next few games are not against good teams, so things can manageable for Pepe Guardiola who is doing good job and now having last season with this team.

Rodri and De Bruyn injuries are surely having impact on their midfield which is key for the success with their replacements are also doing good work but still they need to have strong midfield which give good support to attack as they are able to score more goals.

In this season, we are having Manchester City as one of the favourite but Arsenal and Liverpool is doing good job for keeping pressure because they are also looking for the title, and it's going to be exciting end of this season for these teams.

Well, those in the club's management should be able to realize this better. We here, who are just spectators, see something odd going on there. but strangely this club does act unlike other clubs which always move quickly when the club gets bad results. We often see rapid changes in coaches in various leagues at several clubs, including the Premier League. but Man United did not do that. And Ten Hag still has high self-confidence, which is also a big question mark.

but let's just see in the next few matches whether Man United will continue to experience bad results or not. And we will also see how the club reacts if Man United continues to get bad results.
