-snip-but with the experience he has I think De Ligt is still good enough to be an addition to the Manchester United defense line, especially with Yoro's injury which was actually very much expected to make a breakthrough in the defense line, but it still cannot be implemented so that De Ligt can fill that position for the next few months and to make a better adventure at the new club.

Manchester United have really improved their defense and that is a good thing because they had a lot of problems in defense last season. I also hope to see Leny Yoro's performance because he is considered one of the talented young defenders at the moment. Unfortunately, an injury made him out for 3 months and that is not a short time. De Ligt is expected to help the defense and he came at the right time. His performance with Munich was not so good but I think De Ligt is still one of the best center backs at the moment.

Man Utd have to do well this season surely or Ten Hat should be sacked. This is his third season now and they are no nearer to winning the PL or CL since he arrived.

He has spent £600,000,000 now. No more excuses, he must compete for the big trophies (not FA Cup or League Cup).

Of the 7 matches, Newcastle vs Southampton and West Ham United vs Aston Villa will be the most interesting matches in my opinion. This match is also the most difficult to predict the outcome of who will win.

Because this is the first match, my prediction is that Newcastle United and Southampton might both get points in this match. The bet on this match that I think is suitable is that both teams can score goals. One more, over 2.5.
West Ham vs Aston Villa match, I give the same prediction. Both are capable of scoring goals.

Liverpool travels to Ipswich, I bet on Liverpool's victory. Manchester United also think they can win over Fulham.
Better yet, I will place another bet when the match is in progress even though the odds will change later.

[Mr.right85]

Chelsea's current players are more than 40 players. Chelsea is still buying players even the ones that will not help the team, I just wish Chelsea would be able to play well and win a trophy this season if not the fans will be mad at the owners of the team because buying many players in the team without no seeing a positive result is like wasting of money to buy players.

Mixing players with poor management conditions has indeed made it difficult for Chelsea in recent seasons, it is no wonder that Chelsea has so many players and even seems to be throwing money away, even so Chelsea always tries to shape players to be better in every season at least to have consistency in building the team so that everything is good this season, at least Chelsea must have a good target this season to be able to compete with other top teams.

Does Chelsea new manager, Enzo Maresca get involved in all these transfers at all ? Because all these players will definitely make things uneasy for him as the season begin to kickoff.  Maresca is just starting his career in management, he doesn’t have the experience yet to handle this large squad.

I don’t know but I think this was what made Pochettino leave. He was sacked because he wanted to have some sort of say in the back room. But apparently, Maresca is a yes man.

I read a report last night that Chelsea are also under investigation for something and the punishment might be relegation. Maybe it's possible they are buying to get themselves out of it asap when they go down.

Liverpool travels to Ipswich, I bet on Liverpool's victory. Manchester United also think they can win over Fulham.

Ipswich town meet a very strong and experienced opponent on their return to the EPL, Liverpool will not be easy meat, they have one of the best attackers in the world, and some of the best defenders. The new coach is looking good for the team, and he surely will like his team to start the season winning this game and scoring as many goas as possible.
For Fulham, the new player they have from Arsenal is the one I see everywhere, if he scores today against Manchester United, and really help them win the game, his confidence for the season will really increase.

Yeah, No more excuse for Erik Ten hang this season because he has signed many players that he said he wanted to improve his team, Manchester United has spent a lot of money to sign players just to improve their squad and each player costs them £60m and with this kind of money the team has spent the fans will be expecting good performance from them and also the coach needs to be serious since the team has sign players that he need, Manchester United sign defensive players that can defend their opponents to score goals and if Manchester United concede goals this season the fans won’t like it.

Manchester United is playing against Fulham tonight and I’m expecting a good performance from the team tonight, The Manchester United coach also needs to know the kind of substitutions he is going to make this season because he always makes mistakes when it comes to substitution and is one of the reasons they got defeated in some games even when they are winning, if Manchester United didn’t win any trophy this season the fans are going to be upset so Erik ten hang need to do the right thing to win a trophy and it will not be FA cup.

Today the first match of the English league will start, after all the changes that have occurred for each club of course it will be difficult to guess which team will win in the first week of the 2024/25 English league season, the first match between Manchester United will clearly be a match that is worth it for watch today, on paper Manchester United is very favored over Fulham today considering the head to head of the two teams so far, but considering that we don't yet know how strong Manchester United and Fulham after everything which they has doing in the current transfer market, of course a draw is possible will be the final result of the match, although Manchester United squad is more luxurious than Fulham, but the number of players injuries and their not being optimal in pre-season and yesterday community shield actually makes me doubt whether Manchester United can beat Fulham later.

The match between Liverpool and Ipswich is of course no different from what will happen in the first match between Manchester United and Fulham, but in this match I tend to see that Liverpool will be able to overcome Ipswich with easily, although Liverpool didn't make many changes in their squad,  but this is actually an advantage for those who have been very solid in their game in last season and pre-season match.

My predictions are:
Manchester United 1 vs 1 Fulham
Liverpool 3 vs 0 Ipswich

It won't be easy for Yoro because with such a long injury, it's certain that he'll have to adapt his performance again and it's not an easy thing to get back to the way he was.
We can probably take an example of Mount's case last season where when he was injured several times with a long duration, his condition became more difficult in terms of adaptation and ended in failure in the first season.
The hope is of course that Yoro does not find something like that but in this case Manchester United must also have considerations for the worst possibilities like this.
On the other hand, with the presence of De Ligt and Mazraoui it is clear that this will add to the defense to be even better because after all they have to prepare because the season is ready to start now and there will be no more time to relax.

He has spent £600,000,000 now. No more excuses, he must compete for the big trophies (not FA Cup or League Cup).

He once brought Manchester United to the Champions League in the first season, but in the Champions League they could not do anything. Then last season he was able to bring Manchester United to become champions in the FA Cup, but in my opinion that was not enough for him. I even considered it a stroke of luck when they managed to become champions in the FA Cup with their game throughout the season like that. However, Manchester United management still gave him confidence.

I agree that if this season they do not show any development, then Manchester United should fire Erik Ten Hag. I do not disbelieve in the name of the process, but when the process shown does not show anything at all, then why still believe? I believe in a process if there is development in the game, there is a little improvement and so on. While I do not see that from Manchester United under the direction of Erik Ten Hag.

Manchester City reach agreement with West Ham for £1.2m compensation to sign 19 year old Divin Mubama.
Fabrizio Romano

The medical examination was passed and a long-term contract was being prepared. On the eve, West Ham failed to agree new contract terms with the player and Mubama left the team.

You are talking about obvious things, and everyone understands that ten Hag remained in the team with very big doubts, but despite this he managed to get funding for new transfers, which means he still has some trust from the management and they are ready to believe him and see what he is capable of for another season. But to me it reminds me of Solskjaer getting another chance, but it was already clear that he would not be able to raise the team to the previous high level.

This is literally everything i want as an opening game. It's interesting to test our Slotball in a real match against a newly promoted team. Though I'm very disappointed. We're going into a big season with a new coach and haven't signed a single first-team player.

But, luckily, we get an easy team to test our new mechanism with the same player as last season. We have a perfect run in pre-season games. I believe LFC will use Ipswich as their lunchtime.

And i'm feeling so confident we'll take three points from Ipswich in an away game. I predict 3-0 Liverpool win.

[Adams0001]

Liverpool is still very silent in the transfer window which is quite interesting to me.    There is one month to go for the Premier League to restart. One month left and still no transfer must be worrying for Liverpool fans. Of course there is no important player they have lost recently either. But still I thought there would be some players Arne Slot would like to see in his team. 

I'm curious about whether Salah will leave this summer as well. Al-Ittihad has been interested but no official offer yet as far as I know. Liverpool had better be ready to find a solid replacement in case it happens.

Indeed, Liverpool steps in the transfer market this time do not appear aggressive in recruiting players because so far they have not succeeded in recruiting any players. I think several names of players have been on their target list for this season because under the new coach there will definitely be changes in the Liverpool squad. On the other hand, of course Salah will stay with Liverpool because there is no strong issue that he wants to leave Liverpool.

Talking about Chelsea, they are more active in the transfer market this time. I think Chelsea really has the ambition to recruit star players in this transfer market because Chelsea have not qualified for the Champions League for three seasons, which is quite a big setback for them.

Liverpool's performance has significantly decreased, and they need to buy some crucial players to make the squad stronger than before. Some Liverpool players are performing poorly, and they need to sign new players before the transfer window closes. Because I do not believe Liverpool will be competitive enough to win the Premier League this season. I don't think this new coach is better than Klopp, and he won't do as good as him, but let's see how he performs in their first match after refusing to add vital players who will make them stronger. Chelsea has to add numerous players in order to qualify for the Champions League next season. If they can compete other teams with the new players. and they have match against Manchester City will be on weekend and Chelsea usually get opportunities against Manchester City in the league, Haaland defeated them in a friendly game, but I know he won't be the same in the league, so they need to finish the match first and determine who is superior, but I believe the game will most likely be a draw.

I don't want to agree that there's anyone doubting the defensive qualities of Manchester United's recent signing Matthijs de Ligt unless the person knows little or nothing about the Dutch defender. Manchester United have signed few defenders this season including Leny Yoro who's currently injured and Noussair Mazrauoi but I don't think there's any of them that can beat de Ligt's defensive records. I expect him to significantly improve the defensive strength of Manchester United backline with his presence and leadership qualities.

He has spent £600,000,000 now. No more excuses, he must compete for the big trophies (not FA Cup or League Cup).

Manchester United have been down for multiple seasons and for sure in the last season, their hard some positive development that made them to at least make notable record's, which we can use as a baseline to making our predictions about the club in this season, because at some point, it is very important for a club to sign new signings but still Manchester United have not made any notable signing in preparation for the coming season yet, but calling for the coach sack will not solve the issue, because I think that the problem facing Manchester United is that of management and not Coach.

If the club managers fixed their internal problems I think it will reflect on time since the season is just some week's ahead, getting a new coach at this point may become counter productive for them against the next season, since bringing in new coach will mean that he need time to get used to the player's and that time is not available for Manchester United right now.

I expect him to significantly improve the defensive strength of Manchester United backline with his presence and leadership qualities.

Manchester United brought in De Light because they lost Leny Yoro who they had just recruited , so like it or not, Manchester United was forced to resume negotiations with Bayern Munich after previously stopping negotiations after their getting Leny Yoro, the presence of De Light and Mazraoui is likely to make their defense this season will be strong, but we also cannot deny that bad possibilities could also happen considering Manchester United experience last season, the previous season Ten Hag brought in Varane, Casemiro, Bissaka and also Martinez to maintain their defense and we are in here also say If Manchester United defense would be strong considering the experience and abilities they have so far as defenders, but in fact, we seen if Manchester United is the team that conceded almost the same as the goals they scored last season?

Honestly, there will be a big difference when De Light plays for Manchester United than Munich in next seasons, so we cannot claim that his performance will be the same as when his played in the  Munich squad previous, because there are many factors that will influence a players performance when he plays for new team and new league so far.

I am not seeing anything spectacular about Ten Hag coaching style because United is yet to put up a formidable team that will aim the UCL or CL title. I feel they are still doing trial by error which is rather unfortunate for a coach that have stayed two seasons. Check their matches during the break, did that show any hope for the new season? Anyways, it is too early to say because surprises still happens. I just hope the Red Devils are able to reclaim their past glory that is long overdue.

The new coach is looking good for the team, and he surely will like his team to start the season winning this game and scoring as many goas as possible.
For Fulham, the new player they have from Arsenal is the one I see everywhere, if he scores today against Manchester United, and really help them win the game, his confidence for the season will really increase.

Do you mean Emile Smith Rowe, a player brought in by Fulham from Arsenal, I don't think this will completely guarantee good results. Because after all,  Emile Smith Rowe is still relatively young and, in fact, Emile Smith Rowe didn't get many playing opportunities at Arsenal last season, so maybe that's what made Arsenal sell Emile Smith Rowe because he didn't get a place in the main squad.

But for the match against Manchester United in this moment, in fact Emile Smith Rowe was included in the starting line up. But at least,  we still can't be sure whether the results will be good or not in this match. Because after all, Manchester United will of course play optimally in an early match like this, what's more, Manchester United is also playing at home, so I'm also sure Manchester United will win.

I see no reason why Manchester United should keep Ten Hag if he doesn’t perform well this current season, he has been given enough time to improve the club's performance and has been given money to improve the club's performance, so he has no reason to perform poorly this season.
 
The Manchester United vs. Fulham match has started, just a few minutes have been played, but I am not still satisfied with the Manchester United defense. Fulham are still having it kind of easy to penetrate, even as they haven’t been able to score any goal, but I expected more from Manchester United.

[RockBell]

Manchester United have really improved their defense and that is a good thing because they had a lot of problems in defense last season. I also hope to see Leny Yoro's performance because he is considered one of the talented young defenders at the moment. Unfortunately, an injury made him out for 3 months and that is not a short time. De Ligt is expected to help the defense and he came at the right time. His performance with Munich was not so good but I think De Ligt is still one of the best center backs at the moment.

If with way Manchester United feel they have improved their defense am already see Fulham winning this game their is nothing that will stop them Fulham from winning and I see Chelsea fans waiting for fulham to actually win Manchester United. And defense was not the only problem they have last season, just that defense was part of it, and now if Fulham should win then the defense they think they have fixed already, with the current situation on ground Manchester United are already having three shots on target, so their already showing signs that they might actually win this game and we all know Manchester United the more they are putting in pressure they might win but I am already having a strong feeling that they might actually draw this game because Fulham will also give they a tough time. The end will determine then we are going to know who won because sometimes predictions are usually very difficult.

[el kaka22]

This is definitely a good thing for us, we have been waiting for this to start for a while now and I think it is going to be a good season and a lot of fun. I normally dislike summer period a lot because usually there aren't any games, but this summer was one of the ones that had it, euro 2024 was there and I think it was a good one but still it's very few games in total, so it wasn't really that fun and season was missed.

Now we can watch like nearly 50+ games a weekend, I do not watch all of them of course, and I mean like not even highlights of all of them, but I try to keep up with at least 15-20 games every weekend because of the teams I check and bets I make. In the end, this is going to be easier for betting as well, it is going to be good because we are going to end up with more games to bet on and more profits as well. This should be the most important part, and if we can keep this going then we are going to be doing fine in the end and be a lot better for sure.
