⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Nanga Parbat]

This match still has 5 days left and I think it is very interesting to discuss because both clubs are in very good condition.
From the history of the meeting of the two clubs, Arsenal is actually still the favorite in the upcoming match, but the problem seems that Brighton at the beginning of this season is not a club that is easy to underestimate.
Even being able to beat Man Utd in the previous match and this is a great spirit for Brighton players.
Arsenal is still the same as before with great ambitions to win the EPL title so this match will be a really interesting match to watch.

The match will be interesting but luck and hard work will be with one and only after watching that match will you know which team is play with hard work and which one is not.  If you keep both the perform at par then it will be difficult to predict between them and the match is also interest so it should be interesting to predict.  But I could be wrong but my predictions are mostly correct.  But I will prefer Brighton because they are fast and good team and I will also predict this match in their favor.  If they do not work hard then the opposing team should win the match with hard work. Yes if they show hard work and speed, then the match is theirs.

I'm behind on information it seems because honestly I only found out that Joao returned to Chelsea this season after seeing him play in this match

Lol… maybe you don’t follow up the the transfer news that’s why you missed it because almost everyone who follows transfers new knows that Joao Felix has re joined Chelsea on a permanent transfer this time around and is now fully a Chelsea player.
 

Yup I didn't know that a week ago he was made permanent by Chelsea with 45.5 million Pounds for a long-term contract and indeed I was left behind about this because indeed the rumors were a little covered with other rumors especially when discussing some other star players so I missed this player transfer 
Hopefully this choice is right for Joao but indeed at least with Joao at Chelsea, the quality of their attack could be better this season even though now Chelsea's midfielders and attacking players are too piled up.

This match still has 5 days left and I think it is very interesting to discuss because both clubs are in very good condition.

Of course this match will be very interesting where Arsenal and Brighton, who at the beginning of this season, seem to want to make their performance conditions continue to improve with the wins made and they have to beat each other in this match.

But looking at the conditions now I don't think this will be easy for Arsenal even though they are still very favorite because of the superior quality of players and playing home but we can see that in the first 2 matches Brighton's performance is quite good.
Both clubs also have quite good productivity in the first 2 matches so I think this will be more interesting where surely both clubs can score goals although I will bet on Arsenal in this match.

Arsenal really began the season with good and positive energy so their match against Brighton wouldn't be a difficult one for them but looking at the head to head of both teams, Arsenal have won Brighton 8 times out of the 17 times they have met each other while Brighton has won Arsenal 8 times and they played 3 draws so the match is gonna be a bit tough but Arsenal have became more stronger towards this beginning of the season as they have already gotten 2 clean sheets in their previous games so this game against Brighton is mos likely to go same direction.

~snip~
They’ll host their London rival, Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge this weekend. I’m expecting an exciting game and I tip them to replicate this form.

I think Chelsea will be the favourites to win this match they have a 60% chance of winning while Crystal Palace have 19% which is a very big difference but their chance of drawing is 21% I expect a win in this match and I mean Chelsea and did the same to Wolves before. In the statistics of their meetings Chelsea have won 5 matches against Crystal Palace so I think the bookies will give Chelsea small Odds bets, I am sure Enzo Maresca's men will do their best and not disappoint like their first match at home.

[Mr.right85]

I know it’s too early to pass judgment on underperforming teams and top 4 teams right now as the season just started. But But I can guess relegation candidates today.

Everton
Ipswich
Southampton
Leicester city.

Everton that has very good defense during the run in last season have conceded the most goals so far this season. They don’t look good right now. They don’t really put in much defensive work like they did last season.

The contenders for the league title will be very glaring by Game week 5. Liverpool plays Manchester United & Arsenal plays Spurs within that sequence. I think it’s good to play the big games as early as possible, before they know the best player combinations.

Arsenal have shown their prowess in the previous two games, last week Arteta troops also managed to finish the game with a win at Aston Villa headquarters. As we know, Aston Villa managed to beat Arsenal in two matches last season, this time they managed to reply with a score of 2-0. This match is not too difficult for Arsenal, especially since they will play at the Emirates Stadium. A hat-trick of wins will be achieved at the start of this season as a sign that they are ready to compete with Manchester City in the title hunt. Brighton results in the previous two matches did not put too much pressure on Arsenal, even though they had just managed to beat Manchester United, but Arsenal's performance was still far above the team managed by Ten Hag.

Arsenal will take on Brighton on August 31st in a battle to outshine each other. These two teams have played two matches each in the Premier League so far, where both teams have achieved 6 points and with these 66 points, the two teams are at the second and third position of the points table respectively. In the next match one team may have nine points and another team may have six points and two teams may have equal points if the result of the match is a draw. Brighton have performed well so far this season but their chances of winning against Arsenal are slim. If we talk about the last five matches where the two teams played against each other we can see that Arsenal have won three matches and Brighton have won two matches which means that Arsenal are more likely to win the upcoming match.

[Velvet78]

By the way Brighton has completed the signing of Turkish LB Ferdi Kadıoğlu officially. 



https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1828503820755747262

They are going to pay 30 million euros fixed fee and there are bonuses worth 5 million too. Considering his talent level, I believe Brighton has signed him for a quite decent price. I thought it would be 40+ million first.

Ferdi started his career as a trequartista actually. But Vitor Pereira made a great LB out of him while he was managing Fenerbahçe back in the day. Now he is the best Turkish LB in my opinion.    I hope he can do well at Brighton as well.

I hope you exclude Everton and Leicester from the relegation candidates this season. There is nothing wrong with us speculating but I think we also have to be careful in making that decision because in the second half of the season, the transfer window reopens and at that time some teams that look weak will surprise us all. I am not a fan of both teams but maybe you should look back at how Everton experience has survived in the EPL for more than a decade. That is proof that a team like Everton must have been able to overcome problems that could prevent the team from being relegated. Maybe Leicester could have to leave the EPL but I am still sure it will not happen this season. And one thing we must know now is that Everton current condition is only temporary.

I think i must exclude Everton from that list. I've seen that many times Everton fell to the relegation zone. But, they always escaped it by the end of the season. That's why I'd prefer to call that Everton to be a relegation bait club. It's hard to call that a coincidence caused by them repeating it numerous times on them.

I’m sure the rest of the club, except Everton, will be relegated to the Championship. But, Leicester could stay longer if they fix their problems.

Obviously, Chelsea will be the favorites in this match. The difference in quality is very clear between the two, Chelsea immediately bounced back after being defeated by Manchester City. In the second EPL game played at Wolves' headquarters, they managed to beat the hosts with a score of 6-2, the increasing goal productivity will make them achieve another big win at Stamford Bridge. I never hesitate to bet on Chelsea even though the bookies give Chelsea small odds, the results achieved by Crystal Palace in the two EPL matches have given me confidence that Chelsea will win the match by more than two goals.

I think we can't judge the team too quickly to be relegated, especially if I see if the 3 teams on the list are clubs that are promoted this season to the English league, so I don't know what your reason is for saying if they will be relegated again, the fact is that all this time apart from Ipswich Town, I think teams like Leicester City, Southampton and Everton cannot be underestimated given their experience so far in the Premier League.
Everton who last season had a lot of problems and continued to get points deductions due to FA penalties  but their are still able to survive in the Premier League until now, then why should we underestimate them just because two games have conceded a lot, besides that Leicester City and Southampton are teams that have managed promotion and previously they were teams that continue to inhabit the EPL mid-table so I think it's too easy for us to underestimate them at the moment, If only based on the temporary goal conceded as the reason for relegation, shouldn't we also include Wolves in that the list considering that they have conceded 6 goals at the moment?

With a big win when visiting Wolves FC's headquarters, Chelsea will now be much more confident to play their 3rd match in the Premier League. They will host Crystal Palace in week 3. Crystal Palace themselves had to suffer defeat in their first 2 matches, in the first week they lost to Brentford and in the second week they also lost to West Ham.
This is a great opportunity for Chelsea to be able to get full points again. Taking advantage of the opponent's morale which is not in good condition and also having great morale after they won with a landslide score previously.

If you are talking about Arsenal's performance, I have no idea of ​​their performance.  And they have a match against Bayern, so I hope and their performance will beat Bayern.  Because recently Bayern have played very good matches and won them.  So I'll back Bayern to win.  Well, I could be wrong and this match will be very interesting because of the back to back talk.  And these are their points clearly telling that their competition is going to be very tough.  Because there is a single point difference and he will be out of the match.  Therefore, both the teams should accelerate and work harder, but if the victory goes to one of them, it will be known only after seeing the result.  Yes you are right but Bayern can beat Arsenal if they play hard.And now waiting for the match to see who will win the match and who won't.

[salad daging]

But looking at the conditions now I don't think this will be easy for Arsenal even though they are still very favorite because of the superior quality of players and playing home but we can see that in the first 2 matches Brighton's performance is quite good.
Both clubs also have quite good productivity in the first 2 matches so I think this will be more interesting where surely both clubs can score goals although I will bet on Arsenal in this match.

Their goal productivity is quite good but on the other hand their defense is also not to be underestimated so in this case I think there are likely to be 2 choices where both teams can score goals and they can also be troubled in scoring goals because the defense of these two clubs is quite good.

What is clear is that this match will be very worth watching and for the problem of the winner in this match it seems that everyone hopes Arsenal can be the winner but on several occasions Brighton could surprise especially with the performance they have now it seems they want to be considered a dark horse club again after last season they were not very effective and lost in the competition in the EPL top standings.

Based on the performances from these teams so far, I will agree with you because they don’t look prepared for a fresh season especially Everton that have been in the Premier League last season. For Ipswich Town, I think they can strive against teams that of similar caliber with them, and they can do well if they changes their mentality; same as the Championship Champions Leicester. Leicester that won the Championship should have done better because they have more Premier League experience than Ipswich, but they sold some of their players and they change their coach as well; these decisions affected their squad which will make their adaptation to Premier League to be hard. Nevertheless, it is too early to make such predictions, therefore, anything can change.

I think, Crystal Palace also started the season with bad results because after all, although in the previous two matches Crystal Palace at least played against teams that basically have lower quality than Chelsea, but Crystal Palace was also unable to get points. Moreover, the big 2-6 victory that Chelsea got in the previous match against Wolves,  will certainly be a trigger for Chelsea to keep getting good results also for the next match against Crystal Palace.

After all, the fact that Chelsea really has a good dominance of victory also against Crystal Palace based on head to head, plus the factor of playing at home, of course I personally still believe Chelsea will win. Because after all, Enzo Maresca and the team will certainly be responsible for paying for the defeat at home in the early match. Although in the early match it can be said to be reasonable result because the opponent is Manchester City, but as one of the top Premier League teams, of course Chelsea will succeed for fans happy with the home victory later.

Ferdi Kadıoğlu transfer to Brighton can prove to be the transfer of the season. Brighton just showed how good they are in terms of transfer business in this window. Strengthened all their areas with quality but underrated players, so they pay less fees.
Ferdi is someone who can play at Left back, but he can also play left mid and he is so good at attacking that even if they need an LW, he can fill in there. But definitely, his main position would be the LB for sure.

The smaller teams like Brighton, West Ham even Ipswich had a pretty decent transfer window. Now don't come at me for calling them small teams, it's just that they are mid table clubs, or at least they have been. Now they can use these good players, and with the right mindset, they can be very good for sure.

So far there are 4 clubs starting with 2 wins in 2 weeks; Manchester City, Brighton, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Especially Brighton caught my attention. You know De Zerbi has left the club for Marseille. I was really wondering who the next coach would be and what they would do. They have signed Fabian Hürzeler and I have heard about his name for the first time then. For now he is doing well. I really liked their signing of Ferdi Kadıoğlu also. He is a very talented left-back. 

I think Ferdi will be in the starting eleven. Estupiñán is injured and his return is unknown. Brighton has been using the 19-year-old Hinshelwood temporarily there who is normally a right-back.

If we talk about the last five matches where the two teams played against each other we can see that Arsenal have won three matches and Brighton have won two matches which means that Arsenal are more likely to win the upcoming match.

I do think that Brighton actually has a great chance here, while many people disagree with me, I think it's a possibility and we could of course see him do better than expected. We should realize that it is not going to be all that crazy, we can see Brighton to be doing something right at the moment, which should be the most main point, there is nothing wrong with that.

I understand everyone expects Arsenal to win because they are better, but the reality is that we are seeing the current situation to be different, and because of that we should consider how we can make a move later on as well. It's clear that we are going to see something changing, and because of that we should be careful with what we have and bet carefully, just because Arsenal is expected to win, doesn't mean they will, Brighton has been great.
