⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Adbitco]

What kind of record is this? This is not fair to Manchester United at all, considering their level compared to crystal palace. Does it mean that Manchester United has not won them in EPL. Is this inclusive in home and away matches?
Well, I remember when Zaha was terrorising Manchester United and other clubs in EPL, but I didn't know it got to this extent.

Well, this shouldn't be used as a yardstick to measure. Manchester United is currently above crystal palace and they are definitely gonna show it to them.

It is simply a head-to-head record between them at Crystal Palace's home stadium in the recent years. As Manchester United are playing away it is healthier to consider that rather than the games at Old Trafford. Besides things don't go the way you tell us exactly. Head-to-head games really matter. It is useful to analyze what can possibly happen. I have been using these stats while making bets and I can confidently say I won many bets thanks to it. 


By the way the opening game of the fifth week is going to be West Ham - Chelsea. Honestly I believe in Chelsea to win this tough game. West Ham already lost to Aston Villa and Manchester City home.

They have serious weaknesses against challenging teams. Considering how capable Chelsea also are on paper, they can do it. Big thanks to Palmer though. 

I am not giving that priority to Chelsea any longer as believe how they have dropped in their performance. And of course West Ham gonna beat them since few matches I gave chelsea winning but they wholly failed me and instead i lost completely I wouldn't try it that much to give them any further winning instead they can likely draw.

I knew the game between Manchester City and Arsenal will be an amazing game to watch, and still it will be very tough for both teams because Manchester are strong, we all know that, and also Arsenal are trying their best in performance, and they are now just 2 points below Manchester City, which Arsenal has a good defence and is also very strong for any team to find hard to penetrate, but I don’t still know what will happen in the game on Sunday. That is why I will not predict, but I have expectations or a draw game.

Although the up coming Arsenal match with Manchester City will be a tough for both teams, yeah indeed their match will little tough, because both of the teams are strong and there doing well this this season which everyone will like to claim their experts during the match; but started that arsenal are also try their not only try arsenal is also performing well this season because they don’t want repeat what has been happening for them in previous seasons.

Having expectations on a draw between Arsenal and the Manchester City I think is wrong prediction, even though both teams are strong that doesn’t guarantee to predict draw against them, I know arsenal will try to make everything possible by dominating their next coming match sure.

[RockBell]

This is what everyone is expecting from Manchester United after their big win against Barnsley. They may have played against a mediocre team but they deserved the win because they outshined them in all sides and that lead to their victory today in the match. The old Manchester United of Sor Alex Ferguson time is far from happening now or coming back. All they wish from them is to be in their best form and score as many goals as possible in order to be amongst the top contenders for the league title. This is not the premier league, so all of their best performances here is not what is needed but same should be replicated in the premier league in order for them to be in the top contender for the league title. I expect more from them at this point, I hope they’re able to come out with something great from now.

Manchester United have been able to find their self a fake winning why I said so was that winning like this will not last not at all. And it is their fans that will expect Manchester United to have a big win and even the winning is not even coming from a an important league and it looks like you are Manchester United fan for you to be given them this kind of acknowledgement. The seven goals that they scored was even enough to show that they outshined them and the performance of Barnsley is very poor and they are not even a match for Manchester United we all know how they have been struggling even Rashford  was able to score, even scoring the first goal, Manchester United have seen people they are better than.

Ferguson did well for Manchester United before retired and that is what they will need to be doing,  following that same footsteps but Manchester United have nothing be that stable to be able to even maintain consistency especially in the Premier league. Manchester United always been among the good contenders but they might but maintaining all that now is now a different chapter for them and they have enough players you bring in from their unders to build them so that they will will be able to change the performance of the club. Exactly what am talking about what they did here they should bring it to the Premier League and question now is who is Manchester United is going to be able to score seven zero in the Premier League maybe in my dreams.

A potentially the biggest game of the first half of the season is ahead of us this Sunday. Man City is playing Arsenal at home.
Odds are as follows:
Man City: x1.80
Draw: x3.66
Arsenal: x4.50

If Arsenal loses this one, they will be 5 points behind, and we all know, from the last season, how hard it can be to make up for such difference.
I think a draw is quite likely. City is really hard to beat at home, and Arsenal, so far, has a really good defence, losing only 1 goal in the the first 4 league games. I hope we won't see another 0-0 though. Odds makers seem to believe that most likely we'll see two goals or less.

After that shit show by both teams failing to find the back of the net during the UEFA midweek games, am honestly not expecting much from these guys...maybe a draw or City win.

And unfortunately when it comes to these fixtures, am always going to side with the noisy neighbours because we can't afford to see Arsenal getting trophies at the expense of a City lose...the elephant must fall.

Arsenal should just pray for City to be punished with some serious points deduction to leave them competing against their own shadow at the top

Both teams have been constant rivals for the past two seasons which I think this match will present us a fierce fight between them. Arsenal played well and consistently when starting the league, while Manchester City is better than them, and certainly, they won't arsenal just let it be the winner or make it draw on etihad stadium, but make lots of goals, and embarrasses Arsenal, who have become their rivals. The city also doesn't want just create a winner, but want show to the fans how they can play well and not boring to watch during the match. I think manchester city will win at least 2 different goal if they take advantage of this situation.

That is why I will not predict, but I have expectations or a draw game.

I think it is very difficult to win or draw on etihad stadium. As we know, manchester city is powerful when play at home, and I think Arsenal will require a lot of energy to make it draw. they are also limping because a core player Odegaard has got injured and there are no capable player to replace his position. The news about Riccardo Calafiori and Bukayo Saka was come back to strengthen the team doesn't have much effect to the odds. Statistics still favor the city to win even they have also player who can't play next week like Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake. I think it is very brave if you bet draw for this match.

Although Arsenal has some important players coming back to their squad. But i think it makes no difference caused by they still miss Odegaard. They still won't solve their main problem without him. They lack ball circulation to their attackers..

They're still missing Odegaard in their upcoming game. There will be no good midfielder like him to control the ball circulation to their attackers. And because of that, they have less chance of coming back with points from an away game.





Bookies are not confident in Arsenal's chances to win an away game soon. Their odds are still steadily growing, which means they are being unfavored in this game. A surprise can happen. But playing without their best player will change their pattern.

I think it would be more tougher for Arsenal because they're playing without Odegaard, I'm not trying to say that they can't win games without Odegaard but he's the power house in the Midfield and very important for Arsenal to perform better in that position. If you notice, when Arsenal tend to play without Odegaard, their performance declines compared to when he's playing, well I don't doubt that both teams are strong but Manchester City is the best team when it comes to winning that game, their key players would all the available, giving them a boost to defeat Arsenal. Well no matter the result of the game, I'm very sure Arsenal would allow Manchester City to win without giving a fight, Arteta has worked with Pep and understand his game infact he learn some good tactics from Pep and thats way he's one of the most outstanding managers in the EPL currently so I'm hoping to see something surprising from Arsenal's game, the most interesting thing about the match is that they're both very strong team so it's going to be a tough one even though the majority thinks Manchester City is favorite to win.

Manchester City against Arsenal match may likely end in a tie because they both played draw in their Champions League games and the funny thing is that they both ended in 0:0 score in their respective games in the champions league. I know that bookmakers always gives the favourite odds to Manchester City due to the fact that they mostly win Arsenal in their meetings. Arsenal is still in a good form currently same as Manchester City and the season is still new such that the both teams don't have much injury records so the players are still very much active and ready to play with enthusiasm so it will be a very tough game even though most football analysts are predicting Manchester City to win.

From the analysis that I see, it seems that Man City will win this match even though Arsenal defense is very strong. All of this is based on Guardiola definitely wanting to provide comfort for City players when focusing on UCL. While the difference in points between Arsenal and City is only 2 points.
So Guardiola will definitely try to get 3 points from the match so that when appearing in UCL there is no pressure to chase points in the EPL.

In this match I think that the match will probably end with 2-1 and maybe I will bet on over 2.5 with odds @2.01

Liverpool were a big disappointment on the previous week you know. Despite being in control of the game they lost to Nottingham at Anfield. It was such a poor score like 1-0 as well that I don't know there were many people making some money from it. 

Today they are hosting Bournemouth. Honestly I don't give it any chance this time. Liverpool would win here. And not just a simple win, I expect a win by at least a gap of 2-3 goals.    Arne Slot needs to make his players more focused on not making simple point losses against weak teams. If they want to stay in the title race this time, this is a must. Otherwise people will start criticizing Liverpool's not making proper signings last summer again.

Well said my man. But then, did you see how they did against Ac Milan? If you did, you'd be convinced that they'll comfortably win this game today against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth are also hell stiffneck lol, could it be because they was at home against Chelsea last weekend? Well, in little time, we'll see how they respond to the game against Liverpool.
If ( Liverpool ) can deal with a big side like Ac Milan away from home, handling Bournemouth might not come easy but I'm sure they've got this game. 3 points to the reds is my prediction likewise. Arne Slot has kicked off nicely as the new manager of Liverpool.

The Manchester City vs Arsenal match is going to be the toughest of the week. Seriously,  the match is going to be an interesting one, and it’s going to be difficult to predict. The two clubs are currently at the top of the table, and they will do everything possible to win the match. If Manchester City can win the match, they will be able to maintain the first position, which I am sure they will try their possible best to do, and if Arsenal can win the match, they will take over the first position from Manchester City, so the two clubs won’t want to lose the match.

Having expectations on a draw between Arsenal and the Manchester City I think is wrong prediction, even though both teams are strong that doesn’t guarantee to predict draw against them, I know arsenal will try to make everything possible by dominating their next coming match sure.

Anything is just possible in the match, and I believe we can see a draw in the match, but I don’t think one of the teams will dominate the match, I believe the dominance will be equal in the match.

I think we must not expect too much from Liverpool in this game. They will have an easy opponent; they will also play at home. But they can't underestimate Bournemouth. This was because their opponent was able to perform a solid low-block strategy.

Liverpool is gonna face a tough game soon, and i predict they're gonna win with a narrow score. A home game will boost their confidence. But, they will struggle against their opponent's low block.  

I expect Liverpool to win 2-0/3-1 against bourne. And i prefer to take handicap home -1.5 for this game.

It is simply a head-to-head record between them at Crystal Palace's home stadium in the recent years.

Just when you gave up on Chelsea, they are flying high with their first half victory over West Ham. I can only understand how disappointed you would be right now but you have to understand that emotions are not needed in gambling. You've got to develop some kind of consistency, choose your team and continue consistently with them and you could be making more progress that you would if you continue jumping from one place to the other searching for the holy grail. As Chelsea will be winning today, will you resume playing them again?

[emrecemsan]

Brilliant play by Chelsea, nice!    Enzo Maresca is getting better with the players as time goes on. It is good to see it in the early stages of the season. It would be easier to remain in high places of the standings.

The only thing I didn't like to see was Madueke's selfish attitude in a big goal chance. I must add Palmer's being substituted only after 60 minutes as well. He was also surprised by that. I know they were 3-0 ahead already. But if your best player wants to play longer then you should let him.

Chelsea doesn't have Palmer in the Conference League squad in this stage. It is done to benefit from Palmer's talent longer.

It must be admitted that Arsenal is Manchester City's main rival in the EPL League for several seasons. The match between Man City and Arsenal later, which team can win this match can be one of the factors that determines the champion this season. Although it is not entirely the determinant of the champion, what happened last season is like this. So what happened last season, might happen again this season. that's why I also think Arsenal in this match will try hard to get three points.

Arsenal certainly don't want to repeat the same mistakes as last season, if they really want to win the EPL title they have to beat Man City, this victory will certainly make Arsenal more confident in the following matches. Indeed, this match Man City is still favored but in my opinion Arsenal is still optimistic that they can win this match. I will go against the flow in this match, I will bet on Arsenal's victory.

Seriously i will say Chelsea really did improved their performance in this game than their last scrappy win against Bournemouth. Many will say it is still early to judge the performance or set a target for them and i will agree but the thing is when you start getting points this early you set yourself up for better campaign and it gives the more boost to go higher. Enzo Maresca has been exceptional since his arrival to the club, one of the first thing he did was to reduce the pressure on the team by lowering their targets first and the one thing he did that even though he got into some players black books was to reduce the number of players, for goodness sake I was wondering how he would have worked with that team but the sell off of some players has actually been working.

Cole Palmer is Chelsea’s most dependable player at the moment and if there is something I notice that Enzo Maresca is trynna do it is cutting down that dependency. If we look he has substituted the player off in almost all the matches they have played. This week In the pre match conference he started that each player has their roles with Joao Felix and Cole Palmer been his attacking midfielders and that means that Palmer wouldn’t be having those long unsubstituted game times again, in as much as sometimes this doesn’t bring balance to the easily it actually creates healthy competition which is essential if the club wants to move forward, so plamer needs to be patient with the reduction of game time at the moment

[AprilioMP]

Aston Villa 0 - 1 Wolverhampton
Fulham 2 - 0 Newcastle
Leicester 0 - 1 Everton
Liverpool 3 - 0 Bournemouth
Southampton 1 - 0 IPSWICH
Tottenham 2 - 1 Brentford

Aston Villa and Newcastle two teams that I predicted to win but the first 45 minutes they lost.
Southampton and Everton use this fight to get the first 3 points.
Can still be at stake. Analysis and bet. Hope you win.

Maresca was getting better. He was not trying to experiment by playing his players out of position. He is also very intelligent with the subs as well. His decision also helped their benched players get good minutes at the same time.

I'm very disappointed with how selfish Madueke was in this game. He also looked very off in his decision-making.

About the decision to send off Palmer at halftime. I think you forgot that, with many players in the squad, they need more minutes to develop. And this is the reason why he was benched at the mid game.
