⚽ English Premier League Season: 2024/2025

[JollyGood]

Result:

Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton and Hove Albion


Brighton could have topped the table with a win but the draw means they are currently in 6th place in the EPL table but what has to be noted here is that 2nd place to 6th place all have 13 points. Crystal Palace could have done with a win here to boost moral but they sit 3 points above the relegation zone for now.

I am seeing that majority is voting for Manchester United and I believe this is because of Ronaldo, but even with his presence, haven't they lost two matches already?! I would have voted for them but with this start, they may take a position close to 1st (but not 1st). I'm looking at Liverpool or Chelsea taking that league (not because they have started well but because of the players in the team). Anyways, my vote will go to Liverpool.

Exactly,I also vote Liverpool to win the league because they are in the pole position to do that,and also because they are angry about their position last season where they almost failed to qualify for champions league. I would have chose Mancity,but with their poor performances this season,loosing unnecessarily,I don't give it to them.Liverpool or Chelsea are the favourite for the tittle.

I completely agree, Liverpool or Chelsea look more likely to clinch the title this season. The Liverpool team is very balanced good and balanced with a seasoned coach, and an attack with Salah that won't stop scoring, and a super defence as well that can deliver against big teams. Chelsea also is a super contender as well with a very tactical coach, a good attack with Lukaku and a good defence that can also deliver. For Manchester United, they will only have a chance to win if either the coach Ole gets better or gets out. Their attack is formidable with CR7, but with the defence, there's no assurance that even if the attackers score ten goals, that the opposition team won't score back. For Manchester City, with a very good coach as well, i think them winning the league is hinged on the favourites Liverpool and Chelsea making mistakes and loosing plenty games.

This time, I vote for Chelsea to win the Premier League title. I was not happy to see them being defeated by Manchester City last week. But these things happen in the matches between the biggest clubs of the league. For example, Chelsea were dominating their last head-to-heads before this match. I think that Chelsea are still very powerful and dedicated for winning the title. They won the Champions League last season and why wouldn't they win this league also, right?

I think Manchester city will have a fierce fight for the premier league title this season which is currently appearing very stable like Chelsea and Liverpool coupled with the new strength of Manchester United I think these 3 teams will be strong candidates in preventing Manchester City's move in defending Premier League title this season, where Liverpool appeared so slick and relatively stable until the 6th week of the English Premier League and was also followed by Chelsea even though they had to swallow the bitter pill from Manchester City last week but it was not a benchmark because Chelsea currently appear like that because under the direction of Thomas Tuchel

I voted for Manchester City but the current situation shows that there are a few more candidates also for the league championship. I see Chelsea as the second closest team for this. And after that Manchester United - Liverpool duo follows but I'm not sure about which one have a bigger chance. The games between these two teams can help me have a clearer opinion about them.

after ole soljer brought in ronaldo, all eyes were on manchester united, even their coach had the courage to say, they will win many titles with ronaldo, but now they have lost twice, i also agree with you, if this year it is liverpol who have many opportunities to win the title, even though liverpol didn't buy star players this year, but seeing liverpol's game this year, it's really very convincing, and adds to my confidence to bet on liverpool, lift this year's champion..

Their eyes are still on Manchester United and if I'd be honest, I still have a little hope in them since this is still the beginning. But, Just like we've seen, it isn't always about the star players. Yes, they play well but, there are many other factors that lead to winning. Also, Ronaldo has only just entered the new team. These are not the team members he use to know and it can take some time for him and the other team members to understand themselves. The shorter it takes, the better for the team.

I think the league situation will be clearer at around the Christmas and New Year period because after those flurry of games the top 2 or 3 teams should start breaking away from the rest. I would say Chelsea and Manchester City will there but which other teams will be there? Liverpool and Manchester United probably but Arsenal and Tottenham - I think they will not end the season anywhere near the top 4.

I knew Tottenham and Arsenal would struggle to return to the Top 6 this season after both missing out last season and making minor changes to their squads. I was hoping for some positive changes, especially from Tottenham after they sacked Mourinho in favor of an academy student to coach the team, as they've been struggling to win big games, and then they brought in Nuno. Nuno is not the man they need to get them back on track; they have the talent to contend for a spot in the Top 6, but they lack the tactical nous. Liverpool, on the other hand, must pick up as many points as they can now because Mane and Salah will be departing for the African Cup of Nations in January. The league is for Mancity or Chelsea

Apart from manchester united, I personally also see that chelsea has a big enough chance to win the premier league this season, besides Lukaku factor, I think so far tuchel has done a very good job and the tactics used by tuchel are very effective and match the chelsea squad right now, moreover their current midfield combination is really quite solid with a combination of Kante and Jorginho and in my opinion Kante and Jorginho are the key to  good chelsea in this season.

Brighton had the chance to take the lead in the table if they managed to beat Crystal Palace last night. But Crystal Palace scored the first goal at the end of the first half and Brighton barely managed to save one point by the goal Maupay scored in the last minute of the stoppage time. Brighton still should be grateful that they didn't lose the game.

I have to agree with you, right now it seems Manchester City or Chelsea have to be favourites to win the Premier League title but will Chelsea be able to bounce back after that unexpected defeat at home to Manchester City? And what about Manchester United, will they be able to bounce back after that unexpected home defeat to Aston Villa?

After 6 games played it is too early to say for sure which the breakaway teams will be after the Christmas and New Year period but this is already becoming a fantastic season of top class football and it will get better and more exciting as the fight to become champions and the fight to avoid relegation proceeds

Chelsea will recover eventually, but I doubt Manchester United will. They've been struggling to win games since the beginning of the season, and in the games they've won so far, they weren't the best team on the field; their opponents were simply not taking chances. They spent a lot of money on defense, yet they're still allowing more goals than they should. Chelsea had a horrible game and lost to the league's best team, while Manchester United lost to a team Chelsea beat 3:0 in the league and knocked out of the league cup a few weeks ago.

Chelsea are going to play a match against Southampton home this weekend. Southampton are one of the loser teams this season as they still don't have any win in 6 matches. But they got a draw four times and one of them was against Manchester City away. This should be enough to be a warning for Chelsea. They should work hard to make their fans forget about the Manchester City loss. And they must win this to do that.

Over the last 3 rounds Arsenal was able to earn 9 points and i'm very happy about that. It has been very painful for the fans to support the team lately but the victory over Tottenham brightened up the previous bad days a little. Hope Arteta can play the football he wants and i hope they will be able to hold a normal transfer window in winter.

It was like a magical process for Arsenal. I don't know what has changed but Arteta's team have started having a much bigger performance in their Premier League matches. I hope to see this form continuing for a long time. Arsenal were in a really miserable condition until they started winning. They were defeated by huge results. It is not easy for a team to gather strength after this.

Exactly why I am not considering Manchester United. This is a team I actually love and sometimes brag about, but, with what I've seen so far, I do not expect them to win because there are other teams who are consistent with their winning and don't over-sweat to score goals. Take a look at what Liverpool is doing already. That's how to prepare for winning the League! If they can give other teams enough gap, they can possible sit there till the end.

I would like Arsenal to become the Arsenal that was in 2004 but by today's standards if they take 8th place in the championship it will be a very good result but not so long ago everyone laughed that they always take 4th place.

The main problem with Manutd right now is their defense, which has been terrible and has been caught on the counter attack by every team they've faced. The lack of a good DM is exposing the back three to one-on-one attacking threats every time the ball gets into that position, and second, the attackers aren't playing amongst themselves, especially Greenwood, who is too selfish and keeps the ball for a long time.

@igehhh I had said it from the first game that it was a poor performance, and if they don’t improve then they’ll win nothing this season too, and so far I’m right about them.

Also defence could be improved by playing Dalot, and the biggest issue is the club didn’t buy a CM which was the need of the hour, and had they got a good CM then things would have changed for Manchester United.

That win against Tottenham was a huge morale boost for the players, coach, and also the fans I would say.  Auba has been playing well lately. I don't know what changed, maybe the tactics? Maybe some motivation? Whatever it is, the win was really very important and I hope that they can keep it up till the layer parts of the season.
