Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Oluwa-btc]

I don’t think Aston Villa or Chelsea can win the Premier League this season though Chelsea might be looking like they are resurrected and scoring goals, Enzo Maresca still have so much to prove before I can believe that Chelsea is back to their glory days.

Aston Villa are a good team but certainly not good enough to compete against Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. This season, all three clubs look like title contenders. The season is still young, we will find out as the season progress which teams will be able to stand the tough fixtures and fatigue when it begins to set in.

The both clubs Aston Villa would be fighting for fourth and fifth position at the end of the season if they can continue fighting the same way they have started. I will want to place Aston Villa ahead still because they have a manager who's experienced in the Premier League Competition and at the same time they have a good defense. Fatigue and too much games would be the challenges they'll be facing ahead. As per Chelsea, they are doing well right now but they don't have a solid defense system even though the coach is doing well. Arsenal and Manchester City are frontiers this season again. Let that sink in!

Chelsea fits in that 4th position more, Villa are currently in a good form also but Maresca seem a little further in terms of delivering major performance to hold that position. Chelsea are not coming for the title this season, they are not yet up to that level even Maresca said so, but next season, undoubtedly we might get to see Chelsea in the top 3 competing for the title.

These season is currently for City and Arsenal, Liverpool has the option of 2nd place or third place but not just for the title because i see Arsenal as a much stronger contender. City are not too healthy in the league, their performance has been below expectations and meaning anything can be possible to favor Arsenal except they come back to their best performance.

Chelsea are not coming for the title this season, they are not yet up to that level even Maresca said so, but next season, undoubtedly we might get to see Chelsea in the top 3
competing for the title.

Chelsea's main aim this season is not to compete for the title, Enzo Maresca is having good terms in Chelsea based on his current performance, and will be aiming to make it back to the Champions League next season because based on current standings in the premier league table, Chelsea and Aston Villa have the same points and both of them looks like they can maintain the position, but according to the effort Uni Emrey of Aston Villa is putting, his team looks good just as Chelsea is, therefore, the fourth position for now belongs any of them since Manchester United, and Tottenham are yet to prove themselves this season.

These season is currently for City and Arsenal, Liverpool has the option of 2nd place or third place but not just for the title because i see Arsenal as a much stronger contender. City are not too healthy in the league, their performance has been below expectations and meaning anything can be possible to favor Arsenal except they come back to their best performance.

Liverpool can be very serious to also win the league because Arne Slot is doing his best even though he said that he is yet to play against the big teams, that he can ony be sure of his team's position after playing against the big teams in Premier league. Arsenal has started the run again this season, they look more stronger and have more game maturity than last season, I think if they have consistency, they can do it this season.

Let that sink in!

It's not much different from what happened last season, so I'm not too over the top in judging Aston Villa's performance right now, and it must be admitted that they are currently a strong team but I'm not sure Aston Villa can maintain their consistency until the end of the season, and that's the same as last season.
This season's journey is still very long and what happens now does not guarantee that it will continue to happen so there will be ups and downs in a team so we can't judge far for now.

Moresca says that Chelsea shouldn't be expected to produce the same results as City or Arsenal yet, and he argues that Guardiola and Arteta have had much more time to build their teams. Maybe he's trying to reduce the level of responsibility for the result if Chelsea can't hold on so high for long, although I really like the way Chelsea are playing now, their attacking style is somewhat reminiscent of City, when they try to score as many goals as possible.

[fuguebtc]

Man United may not have played too well, but if you look at how they played before, then a draw against Aston Villa is a pretty good result for them. I'm also not sure whether Man United will be able to bounce back and make improvements, but it seems that firing Ten Hag will not be the solution (at least for now) because Man United will only get a replacement who is not necessarily the coach that Man United needs to be better.

If they want to change the manager then Man United has to choose the right person and I think that can only be done when the transfer window is available, where at that time there were many choices and not limited to just a handful of people.

Yes indeed, Manchester United is still lucky to get 1 point because after all, Aston Villa can still be consistent with good performance after Aston Villa managed to beat  Bayern Munich in the Champions League. But indeed, in fact Manchester United also had a good effort by having four shots on target, while Aston Villa only had one shot on target. Thus,  I think Manchester United and Aston Villa played very evenly, so the final result in this match was also a goalless draw, because their defense lines were also equally good in this match. But at least, Aston Villa under Unai Emery has become a great team, so that they still managed to compete in the top zone of the Premier League standings, it is clearly not easy at all  to maintain it but they succeeded.

Manchester United showed proper unity on the field in that game against Aston Villa, that too in Villa Park. As a neutral, this game felt like the most boring game I have watched in a long while. Two teams, just defending, trying their best to not concede, not going for full-on attacks. Both teams could have done much, much better. I did not expect from Ten Hag's side, as his job is now in question, and a lot of people expected this one to be his last game, which he somehow survived.

On the other hand, Unai Emery played a game right after beating Bayern, and they were in good form for a while now. People backed Villa to win this game, given how good they have been recently, and how shit United has been recently. But I think there were a few players missing from their squad, which resulted in them focusing more on their defensive approach, hence they could not get away with a goal in the first place.

Chelsea and Aston Villa has shown quite good form this season, Aston Villa who were able to surprise us last season have continued to improve very quickly and even this season they still show consistency and also very good performance in each of their games, as well as Chelsea who have improved the season by bringing in many players and also the new coach has shown significant improvement in the league, Both teams have great potential to be title contenders this season, but indeed the balance and consistency of the team will be an important capital to be able to win the league at the end of the season, so far Chelsea and Aston Villa are quite consistent and it is a big question for us how far they can maintain that consistency, when their comes to competing with Manchester City,Liverpool and Arsenal in the league?

For now, Chelsea and Aston Villa's strength will not be able to become champions, there are still leading candidates Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool whose strengths are considered equal so far.
Chelsea still has to improve their defense which is currently still fragile, as well as their attack line, I think it is still not sharp enough.
On the other hand, Aston Villa under Unai Emery this season will make it difficult for their opponents, but the trophy will still be difficult to pursue.
I will not expect too much from Chelsea and Aston Villa. However, if they want to pursue 4th position at the end of the standings, they can achieve it.

I agree that Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool will be the top 3, the order is uncertain. But let’s remember, if the PL teams do well in Europe this season then top 5 will be good enough to get a CL place for next season.

In that scenario, excluding Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool, there would be an extra two CL qualification places.

You just made mention of fatigue, i believe that's what gonna be a big challenge for Aston Villa this season since they are playing both in the champions league and the premiership and with their good start in the champions league i think they will still want to maintain same energy by working extra hard in their upcoming games so the players will definitely be so stressed unlike Chelsea that just have the premiership and few other England competitions to participate in. I think with how Chelsea have played so far they can still have the opportunity to at least make it within the 5th or 4th position depending on their level of consistency. Enzo Maresca needs to pay more attention to the defense as that is where they are having loopholes now. Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are doing pretty fine so the title challenge will revolve around the three teams.

I guessed that these 3 clubs will be the top 3 in the Premier League, maybe Liverpool can maintain its position. I hope so.

It's not certain but we know the Premier League will be a competitive league so expect them to get 5 UCL qualification spots next season and some teams have already shown their quality.

Now where Man City and Liverpool will fight because I'm sure these two clubs will be fierce for the title.

I don’t think Aston Villa or Chelsea can win the Premier League this season though Chelsea might be looking like they are resurrected and scoring goals, Enzo Maresca still have so much to prove before I can believe that Chelsea is back to their glory days.

Aston Villa are a good team but certainly not good enough to compete against Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. This season, all three clubs look like title contenders. The season is still young, we will find out as the season progress which teams will be able to stand the tough fixtures and fatigue when it begins to set in.

It is too early to judge whether these two will be strong title contenders this season because on the other hand there are Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal who are more likely to compete in terms of quality in terms of the title. Like what happened to Tottenham previously where at the start of the season they played quite consistently but when they suffered one defeat it made their consistency worse and they eventually dropped out of the title race.

The same thing will happen to Chelsea and Aston Villa where when they suffer one defeat it will be difficult for them to get back on track. Let's say Chelsea have a chance in this matter, but for Aston Villa I still doubt their ability to compete with other stronger challengers.

Aston Villa and Chelsea are doing well this season, and with how they are playing this season, you will notice that they will probably achieve their goal this time, but it will not be easy because they have many tough clubs in the league, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, who are really doing well, and Chelsea as met Manchester City for the first leg and Guadiola achieved the three points with them, so that show that Manchester City are better than Chelsea this season and they are not yet the favorite of winning the league.

Arsenal meet Manchester City, and the game ended in a draw, thus each team challenged the other. Aston Villa can't really go anywhere this season because of their performance this season, they didn't get the opportunity to defeat Manchester United, who are in poor form, losing matches and drawing. I'm sure if Aston Villa meets big clubs, they won't succeed. let's see how the competition plays out after all the big clubs play each other first, and we'll see if Chelsea has a chance to win the Premier League this season.

Now where Man City and Liverpool will fight because I'm sure these two clubs will be fierce for the title.

Competition in the Premier League usually lasts fiercely, even until the last match of the season. Because usually there is not much difference in points between the top teams until the end of the season. So one defeat or even one draw can quickly change the ranking in the Premier League. Currently Liverpool may be at the top of the rankings. But with only 1 point difference between Man City and Arsenal, every match is very important for Liverpool. Because Liverpool cannot lose or get a draw if they want to remain in first place in the standings. And yes it will be a very difficult journey. It seemed like all teams couldn't make any more mistakes if they wanted to reach the top.

[Chilwell]

Chelsea fits in that 4th position more, Villa are currently in a good form also but Maresca seem a little further in terms of delivering major performance to hold that position. Chelsea are not coming for the title this season, they are not yet up to that level even Maresca said so, but next season, undoubtedly we might get to see Chelsea in the top 3 competing for the title.

These season is currently for City and Arsenal, Liverpool has the option of 2nd place or third place but not just for the title because i see Arsenal as a much stronger contender. City are not too healthy in the league, their performance has been below expectations and meaning anything can be possible to favor Arsenal except they come back to their best performance.

I will agree that three clubs are the favorite which are Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal but this season Premier League has gone to the next level, last season fourth club is Aston Villa and this season Chelsea are really fighting for that position even when you said Chelsea was not ready I doubted it, the season is not that far I still expect Chelsea to get to the top because they are just four points away from the top, I understand Maresca for saying that because when he started saying something like that many expectations will come and there will all be waiting to see the end but when he said they're not ready I like his courage but don't be surprised he also have target.

The real competition will starts after the international break because checking the table Liverpool are leading with 18 point, Manchester City and Arsenal have the same point, Chelsea and Aston Villa have the same point, Brighton and Newcastle have the same point, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Brentford have equal points also, West ham, Manchester United and Leicester City have the same points, I hope you can see why I see is going to be competitive.

In that scenario, excluding Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool, there would be an extra two CL qualification places.

In essence, the top four positions or places for several teams to finish in the Champions League zone are still very open, although I am also aware of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal who have a big chance in the top three but that will not fully guarantee them  to stay in the top three until the end of the season. Because of course, throughout this season it is very possible that unexpected events will occur, and if their  key  players are injured and or they experience a decline in performance, then their results will not be optimal for several matches later.

For that reason, I am sure that the top zone position will still be open to teams that really manage to maintain their consistency. Because teams that do not manage to be consistent, of course they will struggle to get or be able to be in a good position at the end of the season. At least Chelsea has shown improvement with their new manager this season Enzo Maresca and about Aston Villa, they have had good performance since last season too and this season they still managed to have good performance too even in the Champions League too.

Last season alone Man City was only 2 points away from Arsenal to become champions in the Premier League, so indeed this league will be very tight until the end of the season.

A slight mistake then it will shift their position, with a draw let alone a loss then the other team can overtake and difficult to pursue again if the team above always wins continuously in a row then each team has a tight game in order to keep winning.

I only see the potential for more tightness among the 3 teams, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal other than those teams may not be so tight later.

Man.United is getting lower and lower nad lower, this team is really doing very badly, we need to remedy this mess.. for me need to sake the coach

Manchester United remaining 5 points left from the relegation teams standings and its first time in the history having 8 points of 7 matches in Premier League, but the management seems very comfortable with current standings of Manchester United because not have reminder the manager sack from his position although loss 5 of 7 matches. Erik ten Hag have enough time get recovery his teams return to winning trend perform due two weeks international break out.

Upcoming match, Manchester United will face not really strong team Brentford and opportunity to secure three points in front of their fans or bad possibilities for Erik ten Hag sack from his position. Unbelievable with Manchester United management really trust to Erik ten Hag although their team on bad trend performance and left few points only from relegation standings position.

If the management and the fans are fine with this, who am I to say anything about it, nothing or anyone
but I remember that in the past it was a top team in the standings and also had a lot of money
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, there were different expectations and I'm sorry that it's now a low-ranking team

It is indeed too early to determine who will eventually lift the trophy. With just 7 matches played out of 38, there is much that can transpire between now and the end of the season. Leading at the moment is Liverpool, though they are just a single point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, in second and third place respectively. This goes on to show how competitive the leading pack is.

Not forgetting the unanticipated factors like key player injuries or slumps in form that could influence the result of the upcoming games. The teams that are in good standing right now, i.e., Liverpool, City and Arsenal, do have a good chance but they also have to remain stable throughout the season. Other imbibing teams are Chelsea and Aston Villa, which can surprise and snatch one of the top four spots. The season is far from over, and the race is still very much open.

With only 8 points from 7 matches and currently in 14th place in the standings, it is obviously quite a sad sight for the fans to see the situation of Manchester United now,  fan of course will be very disappointed with Ten Hag if they see their performance teams now, but I think the fans are even more disappointed with the management's trust in Ten Hag and don't even care about the feelings of the fans who asked the management to sack ten hag now, club management has given ten hag great trust for manage Manchester until the end of the season and I dont know why...?.

The match against Brentford after the international break ended, will be a good opportunity to secure three points and get back to winning ways, But I think we will find it difficult to see them can winning that the game, because Manchester United also lose points from teams like Twente and Crystal Palace who are weaker than Brentford at the moment.

With ten hag as coach and no significant changes to Manchester United  coaching staff at this time, then it will be difficult for them to live up to the expectations expected by fans who have always want seen their team as title contenders in the Premier League.

Assuming their positions and point gap on the table is when the league is left with 10 matches, it would have been more challenging than now. It is a good start for these three clubs currently for the title race because whoever loses more than one match might fall very low on the table since most clubs are very active.

Manchester City might not be previledged to take over any club that is on top towards the end of the season because they have learnt their lessons and will be more careful at that time. If Manchester City is able to repeat same thing this season, then EPL is not the same again.
