Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Pandu Geddon]

That's right. So far, Erik ten Hag is still confident in coaching Man United because he still has the trust of Man United's management. Although, there is a lot of news circulating in England that he will be fired but until now he has not been fired. In fact, what we see in Man United's current game, Man United's game system is not directed, there is no strong character, he also coached Man United even though it was his third year and was given the freedom to get targeted players (especially his former players). If the target is only the Carabao Cup and the FA trophy, and playing up and down every Sunday. Well that confirms this coach as a mediocre coach at the EPL level.

So in my opinion, just fire him as soon as possible, no need to wait any longer, no need to wait for the end of the season to fire him because Man United needs a coach who is respected by his players, so that there can be great respect from the players for the coach who can build player trust in the coach's strategy. However, if the Man United bosses still don't want to fire him, I also agree with you, actually this is no longer Erik Ten's fault, but this is all because of the mistakes of the club's top brass who made Man United what it is today.

Then who is ready to replace Ten Hag in such a short time? I agree and strongly support the dismissal of Ten Hag from the United coaching chair. However, preparing a replacement must also be thought through carefully.
Removing Ten Hag now without preparing a replacement and only relying on a temporary coach is not wise for a team as big as United. Especially if there is no change in performance. If the club management is very serious about improving United, they must have thought about all that. However, until now, they have not taken any steps.
If it continues like this, just let United be the subject of ridicule on social media.

The team management continues to support Ten Hag, believing that he can turn things around for the club. The management had a good relationship with Ten Hag because of the trophies he had won in the previous two seasons; they did not want to fire him because he had won a trophy that other managers failed to win. However, this is not the first season that Manchester United has had a low point at the start of the season, the club had 9 points in seven games the previous two seasons and the management did not fire him, so this season, as Manchester United has 8 points in seven games, I do not think the management will fire him because they believe they still need more games to improve their performance.

As expected Erik Ten Hag really got full support from United top brass despite showing bad results. Regardless of the 2 trophies he gave, in the end Man United position in the standings still proves that they are going through a difficult season. I think it's quite clear that if he is to be retained then all United fans should be patient for quite a long time, maybe 2 to 3 more seasons to see Man United in the ranks of the strongest clubs again. With the decision to support Ten Hag, if at the end of the season the club is in the lower ranks, we will not blame coach Ten Hag anymore but we will corner all this setback due to Man United top brass themselves who do not want to make a firm decision.

Wow, this is good news for Man United's competitors in the Premier League.
The management's policy should be emulated by other clubs so that there are other clowns accompanying Manchester United.
Fed up, annoyed, that's what's on the minds of the fans right now, what kind of joke does the management want to show by entrusting the future of the club in the hands of a coach who has really not improved in the 2 seasons that have been played.
especially this season I am very concerned to see their condition on the standings, they shouldn't be in 14th position, that doesn't show a strong team.
their schedule in week 8 is hosting Brentford I won't be surprised if the results are not satisfactory.

I must admit that Chelsea under the coaching of Enzo Maresca is showing a lot of improvement because I remember how low Chelsea is on the table by this time last season but surprisingly they have the number 4 position of the premier League now but I doubt if they would shift Arsenal or Liverpool from there position because if we check them through the clubs they have played with on this premier League

Chelsea performances this season have been so good, and most people never expected such a great improvement from Chelsea this season. Enzo Maresca is really a talented coach, and I am really happy with the strategy that he is using. Chelsea are currently struggling with Aston Villa to stay in the Champions League zone, they are having equal points with Aston Villa, but they are ahead of Villa with goals, which makes Chelsea to be in 4th position. If Enzo Maresca can continue with his good performance, then he should be able to end the season in the top 4, but Maresca still has some things to fix in the team.
 
I don’t think Chelsea are currently fighting to win the Premier League, because we all know that’s going to be difficult for them. All I think they are after currently is to qualify for the Champions League, which I think is possible. From the way the three clubs in the top 3 are performing, I think Chelsea will just find it difficult to compete with them.

Relatively Manchester United fans will be definitely disappointed about this news, though there's still a bit hope for Ten Hag, if can learn from his mistakes now and stop being too prideful because of his two trophies while still performing poorly in the Europa competition is and EPL.

Another reason why I think Manchester United don't want to sack him now but rather give him more time, is because I wonder sometimes, which coach would be able to use this current squad without requesting for new signings, since they have spent a lot getting this players and yet many are inconsistent or underperforming

Sure. I think management feels like why will they fire him during this hard time when he has achieved some trophies for them before, but still, if you look at the Manchester United position, it’s obvious that they are facing a lot of challenges and their performance is not really improving. That is why some fans feel like firing Ten Hag to bring another person will make things better for Manchester United. However, maybe the management, if they sack him and get a new manager, will think that he will make things better, and he failed to do that. Things will not go the way they want. I think they really know why they keep Ten Hag as their manager even with these hard times.

From the way the three clubs in the top 3 are performing, I think Chelsea will just find it difficult to compete with them.

Chelsea is not fighting for a league title this season and the coach has said it already, Chelsea fighting for the league this season is like adding another pressure to the team, after having a bad performance for the past two years they bounced back by having Enzo Maresca as a new coach, we know that Chelsea is in good shape this season and they can challenge the remaining team but I don't think it is a good idea, Chelsea need to study the big team's like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester city very well in other to have a good confidence whenever they want to play against them.

The reason why I said Chelsea needs to study the big teams is because Chelsea struggled to win their first game and it was against Manchester City and that shows that Chelsea still has a lot of things to fix before thinking they can win the league title, Chelsea has not played against two or three big team's this season and that is why I'm still doubting that we need to see more games of Chelsea before thinking that they are capable of winning the title league.

[Chilwell]

This sudden decision will be as a result of the charges FA is charging Manchester City which they will hardly survived because they failed in their recent appeal, we don't know how it will go yet, but if they are find guilty of the alleged charges, they will serve several punishments which can result to the team been demoted to relegation zone and other penalties which include declaiming some of their titles they won. If the team management is fund guilty, they team will lose several players, and I am not sure if Pep Guardiola will stay with the team because we know that he is a coach that need a team that can spend a lot of money to sign all his desired players.

Lets generally review these charges here, are we even sure that Manchester City can win the case if they further decided to take the case to court? Because I think they actually committed most of these offense even though their management has money, they were using extra money outside the money the team is generating to sign more players than it should be, and if it keep on going like this, every team will will wants to the same and it will affect some rules in football.

Begiristain step down is not a sudden decision because it has been planned long before now but decided to stay back in one or two reasons. He planned to cut off the work load on day to day activities when he turned 55 years of age but suddenly decision changed when he enjoyed working with Pep Guardiola and changed it to 60 Years, and he turned sixty in August. His decision was made full known by the club hierarchy, currently the club are also in plan to find a replacement before he lives at the end of the season and the person replacing him will start early 2025. According to the club the new director of football is someone they knew who is currently serving in another European club, the name have not been make public but am sure it will be announce before the season ends so that necessary handover will be done for him to continue from where Begiristain stop with is progress of the team.

Chelsea and Aston Villa has similar points on the table and I can't even differentiate their performance but I think Aston Villa are sneaky team that make way even when things are difficult for them. They just humiliated Bayern Munich in the Champions League and draw almighty Manchester United in their last game and as for Chelsea, they are busy making more goals than what they have concede, only their next matches is going to determine who is going to last at the top.

This season Chelsea performance has be become great a performed compared to the last season how they was so performing very poorly, this season chelsea area able to conceded a lot of goals after wining several matches they’ve played; as it now Chelsea is maintaining the 4th position in the table, and now that Aston Villa is behind of Chelsea with the same points they need to maintain their consistency against their match, because that’s the main problem that there was facing in previous seasons.

By features arrangements, Aston Villa might have a way to stay above Chelsea because I'm not sure how Chelsea are going to win Liverpool that is fighting to stay ontop of the table, any small mistake from this play will not only drag them from there, they have to come down to stay with Aston Villa hopefully Villa don't win their next matches again but sometimes, things don't go as expected, minor teams don't finish from surprises.

Since Chelsea are able to make some improvements this season they might not find the match so difficult, even thought the Liverpool is going to win them they can also try their possible to reduce some pressure for the Liverpool; because for now Liverpool have dominated the La Liga by claiming the top of standing.

[Nheer]

Aston Villa is more like a fluke they can able to win against Bayern Munich and reach 5th position in Premier League. Currently Aston Villa only have good results, but their statistic are actually just like a mediocre teams. A strong teams need to have both good results and performance, Aston Villa don't really dominating the match and they have bad goal/conceded ratio.

It’s because this season they have dropped in performance the consistency in no more there as it was last season that’s why they have dropped some few unexpected points. Take the match against United as an example, they should have won Manchester United and pick all 3 points but they failed even as Manchester United is struggling this shows that they need to put in more effort to maintain their 5th position. They might do better as the season progresses, they need to do better else other teams will take their place, teams like Brighton and Newcastle are just two points behind so there is no room for mistakes.

Aston Villa is fifth in the table. At the same time, the team won the Champions League match against a strong team like Bayern Munich. This was a surprising result. Aston Villa's overall performance is good but this team cannot be called very strong.

Consistency is what they lack at the moment to be called a very strong team. They are good quite alright but they need to work on their consistency. They still need to improve their game and work harder and not be carried away by the win against Bayern Munich.

[Jegileman]

I must admit that Chelsea under the coaching of Enzo Maresca is showing a lot of improvement because I remember how low Chelsea is on the table by this time last season but surprisingly they have the number 4 position of the premier League now but I doubt if they would shift Arsenal or Liverpool from there position because if we check them through the clubs they have played with on this premier League, we would see that they have only been meeting smaller clubs and the only big team they meet was Manchester City and they loss the match with 2:0, so is from how they would perform with the bigger clubs that would give us believe that they can shift Arsenal or Liverpool, I even love the fact that Liverpool is there next rival, so if Chelsea wins that justify everything.

Time will tell about that for Chelsea and we just have to wait to see their match against Liverpool if they pull up a good performance for them to be worthy of the praise they’ve been receiving since this season began. I am optimistic about them though, but I’ll want to see their performance till the mid season when they must have played with all the teams in the league to see their strength and stance in the league before one can conclude if they can make it to the top four of the table or even be a major contender if the league title. I like that their next match is with Liverpool, they’re in good form now and also Liverpool are also in good form, so I expect this match to be evenly played and the best team wins in the end of the game.

No doubt i would say they have been the most impressive team that has picked form since the start of the Premier League. Last year the fans complained a lot about consistency in winning. If they win today the next match they will lose. But this season we have see how they maintained to win in every match they have played even in other competitions. If worst comes to worst they end the game in a draw match.

Its funny how quickly the accolades is been giving to Enzo Maresca instead of the players. Yes, he has tried in directing the team on what to do but we should not forget that the players are more relentless now. They want to win something, at least go to the UCL next season. Palmer contribution to the team has pushed the other players to some extent now they believed they can win every game.

Honestly Enzo Murresca had made a positive and significant impact on Chelsea since he came board as their new manager particularly the set of young players currently in the squad having loan and sold all the excess and redundant players he met in the team and I believe in the  next few seasons to come they would definitely become title challenger if Maresca keep those youngsters with just one or two more new signings I expect Chelsea Board to continue to back him with full support thus the team would become formidable to be able to challenge the other top teams.

[Tony116]

Chelsea and Aston Villa are battling to stay in the top four of the table. Both these teams want to qualify for the Champions League. And Chelsea and Aston Villa are moving towards this goal. Last season we saw a very poor performance from Chelsea. However, the team won consistently in the last few matches of the season. So Chelsea was able to occupy the sixth place in the table until the end. And Chelsea's aim this season is to qualify for the Champions League.
All three teams are sure to fight for the title. Even in the last few seasons we have seen all three teams doing well in the Premier League. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal all have strong squads. So this season the fight for the Premier League title will be more crowded.

Chelsea and Aston Villa has similar points on the table and I can't even differentiate their performance but I think Aston Villa are sneaky team that make way even when things are difficult for them. They just humiliated Bayern Munich in the Champions League and draw almighty Manchester United in their last game and as for Chelsea, they are busy making more goals than what they have concede, only their next matches is going to determine who is going to last at the top.

I would say Chelsea and Aston Villa are very similar. Both of these teams are not very strong. But their performance is somewhat stable. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa have lost just one match each. Both of these teams are relatively weak in attack. Chelsea players scored 16 goals in 7 balls and Aston Villa players managed to score 12 goals in 7 matches. At the same time, the defense of these two teams is not very strong.

Chelsea will play their next match against Liverpool. The chances of Chelsea winning against Liverpool are very low. My guess is that Liverpool will win the match. But if chelsea can win this match then i would say we will see chelsea team in top four of points table this season.

Who will replace Ten Hag is not an issue, there is even no short time given the present level of the premier League because the league hasn't gone too far to say a coach cannot be replaced, after all Jose mourinho was sacked by Tottenham Hotspurs after qualifying them for FA Cup finals, a feet they haven't reached for a long time, but yet the club management didn't have a rethink when they wanted to take that action, so there is no better time to show Erik Ten Hag the exit door.  There is no point hiring a temporary coach, I've heard they've approached the likes of Thomas Tuchel, so for a coach of that capacity I don't think it should be on a temporary basis.

I still remember what Pep Guardiola said, he said that Maresca needed time to bring Chelsea much more developed and be able to be on par with the elite Premier League teams. I think Pep said it seriously. Now, Chelsea is in 4th place in the Premier League standings. Although its position is vulnerable to being overtaken by teams below it, at least under his guidance Chelsea is better than other coaches at the beginning of their season. In 7 matches in this competition, Maresca gave 4 wins, two draws against teams that play more defensively, one match lost against the Premier League giants, Manchester City. Nicolas Jackson who previously always had difficulty scoring goals, now from his 7 matches he has scored 4 goals and 3 assists, at least better than the previous season. One of the most stable players is Cole Palmer, although operating behind Chelsea's single striker, he has scored 6 goals and 5 assists. It seems that Chelsea is heading on the right track, but the problem is can they maintain their consistency. well, it is a challenge for Maresca and the Chelsea players to play much more solidly and have good teamwork.

Their are people out their that are better than him because is not looking responsible for the club at all and I know everyone will be in support for the dismissal of ten but the question is who do they have in mind to replace ten with and I don't think dismissing him now is actually worthy they should just allow this season ends before firing his ass out of the United because for the past to season now United have be baseless they don't have direction and ten is not really helping matters. The management have to think this through so that they don't make another serious mistake and they have given him more chance than he deserves but if it was Chelsea he would have been long gone by now.

And who are they to use when ten is gone before getting a suitable coach for the team because Manchester United actually needs someone to take the club very seriously to bring back that light thay they have lost, no announcement is made yet but sooner or later ten alread knows his faith in Manchester United that is stay is gradually coming to an end on Manchester United and the way forward should be what his currently looking at.

[KTChampions]

As expected Erik Ten Hag really got full support from United top brass despite showing bad results. Regardless of the 2 trophies he gave, in the end Man United position in the standings still proves that they are going through a difficult season. I think it's quite clear that if he is to be retained then all United fans should be patient for quite a long time, maybe 2 to 3 more seasons to see Man United in the ranks of the strongest clubs again. With the decision to support Ten Hag, if at the end of the season the club is in the lower ranks, we will not blame coach Ten Hag anymore but we will corner all this setback due to Man United top brass themselves who do not want to make a firm decision.

Where did you get this information? According to the leaks, no decision has been made today and he could still be fired in the coming days. It all looks more like the management is waiting for a nod to take over at United from someone they really want. Once that is done, Ten Hag will be sacked. If not, he will stay until the next opportunity to hire the right coach.

Chelsea will play their next match against Liverpool. The chances of Chelsea winning against Liverpool are very low. My guess is that Liverpool will win the match. But if chelsea can win this match then i would say we will see chelsea team in top four of points table this season.

Aston Villa are better than Chelsea base on performance, they are ready to get 3pt more than the Chelsea side. I think the Villains have faced difficult opponents than Chelsea and they made a good account of themselves but Chelsea have more easy games than Aston Villa but they fail to get something out of it. If you ask me I'd rate Aston Villa ahead of Chelsea because I see the Aston Villa team as one that's consistent this season while Chelsea are finding it hard to be stable, they (the Blues) are like a switch, off and on.
Playing against Liverpool would be tougher than what they played against Nottingham Forest, if Chelsea couldn't beat 10men Nottingham Forest is it a complete Liverpool team that they can get all 3pt? It can't happen, at this point Chelsea can't withstand the force of Liverpool and Slot would do anything to make sure he maintains that number 1 spot on the log, losing or dropping point is not an option for the new manager of the Reds. It would be another win for Liverpool but the game might not be as strong as we expected, for me I'd say a 2-1 win for Liverpool against Chelsea.

[AYOBA]

Chelsea is not fighting for a league title this season and the coach has said it already, Chelsea fighting for the league this season is like adding another pressure to the team, after having a bad performance for the past two years they bounced back by having Enzo Maresca as a new coach, we know that Chelsea is in good shape this season and they can challenge the remaining team but I don't think it is a good idea, Chelsea need to study the big team's like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester city very well in other to have a good confidence whenever they want to play against them.

Yeah actually Chelsea has facing a lot of challenges in passing two seasons ago by performing very poorly, and that’s they bounced back this season with good performances; because the way Chelsea is teams are performing this season no expected that kind of performance from them due to the how they end last season with bad performances: but this season there want to fighting for the league and fighting for the is not a pressure in my view since without much of their efforts nothing can move as well, and is not that I’m a Chelsea fans but I like the way their performances is moving forward this day’s.

The reason why I said Chelsea needs to study the big teams is because Chelsea struggled to win their first game and it was against Manchester City and that shows that Chelsea still has a lot of things to fix before thinking they can win the league title, Chelsea has not played against two or three big team's this season and that is why I'm still doubting that we need to see more games of Chelsea before thinking that they are capable of winning the title league

Everyone knows how the performance of the Manchester City there are strong teams there’s no way we can compare Chelsea performance with them, Chelsea last match against Manchester City was interesting games, although that Chelsea struggle win their first match against Man City but for me honestly their have doing a great work that very day; because not all the weak teams can able to defeated strong.

If you ask me I'd rate Aston Villa ahead of Chelsea because I see the Aston Villa team as one that's consistent this season while Chelsea are finding it hard to be stable, they (the Blues) are like a switch, off and on.

Aston Villa and Chelsea have same 14 points, and they have small differences in goals and conceded goals. Their quality is nearly the same and one good or bad match does not change their quality, it's about recent form only.

They meet each other in a direct match and they equal chance to win it. A latest match result will be used as one of biggest things for a match prediction but with same quality, as said, they can beat the opponent even they are considered as weaker and had a latest worst performance and result. In a direct match, previous opponents you met are not too important, and the opponent in this match is important. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa are strong and ambitious, they will not lose this direct match easily because it's more important than a single match. It can decided their competition for a fourth position too.
