⚽ English Premier League Season: 2024/2025

[masulum]

even though head to head arsenal still won the match with 23 victories and city which only won 19 times against arsenal if you look at the depth of the current squad and the performance of both teams I really doubt if arsenal can win the match against city this time.
-snip-

Thats true, statistics maybe better for arsenal, but on this match they will hard to win. However, the current condition, as we can see from quality of coaches and players between Arsenal and City. City has a better composition of coaches and players, this makes me believe that in this match City will be the winner. I can't believe in the statistical advantage of Arsenal, because this season Arsenal started with bad results since pre-season matches.

Manchester City are officially out of the competition after refusing to pay Juventus' €25 million asking price for a player they wanted on a free transfer. Man City squandered the opportunity to sign Messi, Ronaldo, and Kane all in the same month... I hope they don't come to regret this decision anytime soon.

Arsenal has no intention of selling either Aubameyang or Laca, as both are covid 19 positive and will miss a few games.

No News on Kane as Daniel Levy is still standing on "not for sale" spot.

The Last Dance

[tokeweed]

^  I don’t think they ‘squandered’ anything.  City didn’t anticipate what happened with Barca and Messi, no one did.  When the news broke out, City already bought Grealish for 100m..

Daniel Levy will not sell Kane for less than 150m GBP.  So that’s that.

I don’t think Ronaldo would sign with City for any price if United made their own bid, which they did.

Harry kane seems to have confirmed that he will stay at tottenham this season, and even that can be seen from his post on twitter which states he is ready to help tottenham 100%, especially when it is reported that currently tottenham has increased his salary with a pretty fantastic value, i think with kane staying at tottenham and Ronaldo's return to Manchester United today, of course, forces Manchester City to look for other target striker on the last days of the transfer market.

Today's Fixtures

If you want to be safe, go for goals in this round of fixtures because they all appear to be quite unexpected.


My Predictions
Man City 3-1 Arsenal
Aston Villa 2-1 Brentford
Brighton 1-2 Everton
Norwich 1-3 Leicester City
West Ham 2-0 C. Palace
Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea.

[Oshosondy]

Man City 3-1 Arsenal

58th minute
Manchester City 4 - 0 Arsenal

The match is at the 58th minutes now, Manchester City has store 4 goals while Arsenal has never scored 1. What is surprising me now js that Arsenal has never even scored a single goal since the start of this season, even Brentford managed to score Arsenal 2 while Arsenal was unable to score 1. I am think this game will likely ended with Asenal scored nothing, I am not sure if the game will end like that but Arsenal has one of the worst performance so far in EPL this season.

[Kusman]

Manchester City are destroying Arsenal 4-0 now. Maybe it would end 5-0 or 6-0. I wanted to see a competitive and enjoyable match but City are dominating the match. And it has gotten boring. I have started waiting for the other incredible match of today between Liverpool and Chelsea. I don't think that we will see a score like this in this match. I expect goals from both sides and it should be very competitive also.

[Macadonian]

I think there will be a lot of big scores today with Leicester vs Norwich which I think Leicester will win by 3/4 goals to 0. Manchester City just beat Arsenal 5-0. Liverpool and Chelsea later on today which I expect to be a goal fest. I think Liverpool will lose with Chelsea beating them 3-1.

[Igebotz]

Man City 3-1 Arsenal

58th minute
Manchester City 4 - 0 Arsenal

The match is at the 58th minutes now, Manchester City has store 4 goals while Arsenal has never scored 1.

Meh, after an impressive 6-0 win against Wesbrom a few days ago, I was confident that Arsenal would score at least one goal. I watched 70% of the game and they were nowhere to be found in the Man City 18 yard box, they were all running after the ball for the few times I watched, tactically the team is drained.

What is surprising me now js that Arsenal has never even scored a single goal since the start of this season,

They will chose their EPL goal of the week from the training ground

arsenal destroyed west brom with a score of 6-0, and today arsenal felt the suffering that west brom felt a few days ago, as an arsenal fan, to be honest I don't have any confidence that arsenal will be able to break into the top 4 this season, you know , actually so far I have never missed an arsenal match but somehow today I feel the arsenal will be massacred, and that's why I missed the arsenal match today and it turns out what I thought turned out to be true .

I guess take Lewandowski?  I saw somebody mentioned in the transfers thread that he wants out at Bayern.  I haven’t really looked into it tho.

And igehhh, I think I owe you an apology..  with Man City’s bid for Ronaldo, you’re right.  City did squander it by refusing to pay the 25m.

He would work well at Manchester City because he would be surrounded by fast players which he can hold the ball up for. He is old though and I think that might stop Manchester City and any other club paying a contract for a long time because of his wages. If he starts declining in ability because of age a team could still be paying his high wages.

It was a competitive game we had between Liverpool and Chelsea today. It would be much more delightful if it weren't for Chelsea's red card. Because they started playing defensively in the second half and only Liverpool had many attacks. But they still couldn't beat Chelsea here and it ended 1-1. We saw how much powerful Chelsea we have in this season.

Today's Results



Thoughts:

- .  In the first 35 minutes of the Liverpool vs Chelsea encounter, it was a match made in heaven until Anthony Taylor's terrible refereeing struck again, this time against Chelsea.

- Today's matches saw 22 goals scored, and as I previously stated, I was quite confident in my goals predictions, however my scoreline predictions were 0/7.

If you want to be safe, go for goals in this round of fixtures because they all appear to be quite unexpected.

Edit

Yes mate

And igehhh, I think I owe you an apology..  with Man City’s bid for Ronaldo, you’re right.  City did squander it by refusing to pay the 25m. 

He did tell his agent to speak with Manchester City because he knew the citizens were out looking for an attacker, and as I previously stated, City were completely out of the race due to the €25 million asking price. However, the agent began talking to Manutd about a possible return, which the Manutd board accepted and paid the €25 million.

Even as a Liverpool fan, I'd like to commend Chelsea for an excellent performance against Liverpool. Despite the fact that I don't agree 100% with the red card but the penalty was legit since it was a clear handball by Reece James. I'm wondering what would be the outcome of the game if there wasn't any red card for either team. Although Chelsea switched to a defensive play in the second half, they were still very dangerous whenever they went forward.

[Kusman]

Liverpool v Chelsea ended just as I expected. We saw one goal each from both sides. Chelsea got ahead first and it was really important to them. While they were focusing on securing the advantage, something unexpected happened and Reece James was sent off. There was a penalty and Salah was able to score it. Then, the control of the match have passed to Liverpool. Tuchel tried to defend them with all his team got. And they were successful at the end. Liverpool couldn't manage to score and we got a 1-1 result at the end of the match.

If he starts declining in ability because of age a team could still be paying his high wages.

Let's not forget that Kane is still younger than Ronaldo   And for a long time there is a relative concept, and the management of Manchester City wanted to get the title of the winner of the Champions League tournament much earlier and they do not mind money for this purpose   I think that Kane is still able to play at the highest level for three years and if Manchester City does not manage to buy a player in this transfer window, then the price will be cheaper in the next transfer window. I don't think that even a lot of money in wages will reduce Kane's dream of winning titles, so the transfer conversation will still flare up in another window with renewed vigor and it will be a pity if Daniel Levy ruins the rest of Kane's club career.

Have you not noticed that Chelsea still always play good even if one of their players is given red card in a match? I have noticed this several times to the extent some matches were won. If the match continues like that and no red card, we can not conclude what could accurately be the outcome of the match, but Chelsea will have more chances of winning. Just a single match should not be the determinant of the club that will win EPL, the stronger teams will surely later surface as the season continues.

Yeah, it is so true. Chelsea have a really great discipline which helps them play still good while even missing one player. Not many clubs in this league can do the same thing to be honest (Arsenal against City e.g.). They must appreciate Tuchel's wonderful system which is fitting the team perfectly. If there was another manager now, maybe Chelsea wouldn't be this much strong.

Today's Scores



Thoughts:

That's 3/3 goals for Tottenham and 3/3 goals for Son, what an outstanding start to life under Nuno. The squad is attempting to develop a team without Harry Kane in case he leaves next summer.

Manchester United vs. Wolves was the most entertaining game of the week for me, and Wolves are to blame because they had many more open goal scoring chances than United throughout the match. I believe they were just unlucky not to get a point or three. The United team is still missing DM, they had a chance and took advantage of it.
