Title: ⚽ Matchday 12 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: masulum on August 19, 2025, 08:24:52 AM With EPL season 2025/2026 officially underway, i decided to create a dedicated discussion thread. Since our previous one from @Blue Snow seems to be on hiatus, I'll be stepping in to open this new thread and will be updating the schedule for you every week. Feel free to share your thoughts, predictions, and highlights here!
EPL 2025/2026 - Matchday 12 All times in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Saturday, 22 November 2025

Match Results Log: Code: EPL 2025/2026 - Matchday 1: Liverpool 4-2 Bournemouth | Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle United | Brighton 1-1 Fulham | Sunderland 3-0 West Ham | Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Burnley | Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-4 Manchester City | Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace | Nottingham Forest 3-1 Brentford | Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal | Leeds United 1-0 Everton EPL TEAM - 2025/2026 https://talkimg.com/images/2025/08/19/UZdezN.png Title: Re: ⚽ Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: masulum on August 22, 2025, 03:28:38 PM OFFICIAL! Noah Okafor has moved permanently to Leeds United. The transfer fee is €19 m. This is quite an expensive purchase, and Leeds have made a big decision. Okafor hasn't been particularly impressive at AC Milan, only managed to score 1 goal in 11 games last season, as a striker, this is not a good achievement. Leeds United management certainly hopes their team can stay in the Premier League by signing Okafor.

In his first season with AC Milan, while unsurprising, he only managed six goals and three assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.However, in his second season, Noah Okafor's performance dropped significantly, registering only one goal and two assists. This means Noah Okafor's contribution to AC Milan has not been significant, and I think signing Noah Okafor for such a high price was a risky decision, as Leeds United could have found a better striker for that price. However, we'll see if Leeds United can compete in the Premier League, at least in the mid-table, with Noah Okafor. Title: Re: ⚽ Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Tonimez on August 22, 2025, 04:30:24 PM Thanks for raising this thread and most importantly the update on the match day 2. I hope this table will be updated regularly all through the season. Manchester city and Tottenham Hotspur game will be the top, I don't see Tottenham Hotspur having any chance at Etihad stadium. I would give it a 3 - 1 win for Manchester city. Their odds too are not bad, but going by their previous games...it would be a straight win for Manchester city.

Title: Re: ⚽ Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: ILuckyGuyI on August 22, 2025, 04:35:50 PM We start the game week with West Ham vs Chelsea tonight!
Honestly it's a quite comfortable one for my Chelsea on paper. 1.66 is really nice odds... Yeah, I'm aware how much lost Chelsea were vs Crystal Palace last week. But I believe in them today. West Ham still look hopeless. You must've seen how they got destroyed by even Sunderland which just promoted to the PL. I hope Palmer has a good day this time. ::) Title: Re: ⚽ Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: asriloni on August 23, 2025, 04:24:41 AM https://imgvb.com/images/2025/08/23/310127a0290f965411cea7139cf2c7fa.png
Chelsea successfully thrashed Westham with five one as the final score. They deserved it as they fight a horrible team. We know how crap Westham is after they coached by Potter. Only feel a bit disappointed they should conceded a goal during the first half. Hoever, good game overall by them. They created some chances from set pieces, which is successfully converted into some goals. I think this was a case of West Ham being bad than them. I also credit to all player who never gave up when they lose the lead to the Westham.

Your prediction was absolutely correct, Chelsea played well in this match! Unfortunately, Palmer was unable to play due to injury. What was surprising was Estevao's excellent performance. Estevao also set a historic record, becoming the youngest Premier League player, He is only 18 y and 120 d old, but has already proven that he has potential. With this convincing result and fantastic score, those who bet on Chelsea must be smiling today. Especially with odds of 1.66, your bet was a decent profit! Congrats! Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Mate2237 on August 23, 2025, 09:06:32 AM It's seems that Chelsea is back to form like the Chelsea that we use to know because I can't remember Chelsea scoring five goals in a single game playing at away nice one for the team moving forward to the season I expect that Chelsea should maintain this form because one thing I have seen with this Chelsea team is there level of inconsistency.
A bad start of the season for graham potter and fans has already called for the sake of the Manager as the head coach of West Ham united with his opening two matches which has all ended in a humiliating defeat Title: Re: ⚽ Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: qurbanshah02 on August 23, 2025, 09:24:59 AM https://imgvb.com/images/2025/08/23/310127a0290f965411cea7139cf2c7fa.png We all know that Chelsea is a good and hard-working team due to which they are successful and in this match Chelsea's hard work is impressing us a lot which was a good win with 5 goals. I would say West Ham are a good team and Chelsea are stronger than them which is the result of which we are seeing a 4 goal difference in this match. They should improve in this which will eliminate their weakness and also see strength in a good form which will be better than the one mentioned earlier. This match was one-sided West Ham also worked hard but they could only score 1 goal in their efforts while they kept working hard later but to thwart their efforts Chelsea players Pedro, Neto, Fernandes, Caicedo, Chalobah these players scored 5 goals each for their team.Chelsea successfully thrashed Westham with five one as the final score.

Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: len01 on August 23, 2025, 10:40:18 AM There are 5 matches today, but all eyes are on the Man City vs Spurs game. Previously, Spurs managed to secure 3 points against Burnley, and in my opinion, it's no surprise they did so easily without much resistance, as Burnley is just a mediocre team that doesn't have the same level of performance as Spurs.
But today, Spurs have to face one of the strongest teams in the EPL. After successfully signing new players Reijnders and Cherki, Man City's squad has become more stable and looks very strong in every area. What do you think? Can Spurs put up a fight against Man City? And can City beat Spurs? Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: emrecemsan on August 23, 2025, 10:41:43 AM Maybe West Ham got an embarrassing kind of a loss last night. But Paquetá still scored a superb goal at least. :P It was unfortunate that Palmer got injured just before the match but Chelsea still finished off West Ham without issues.
Now of course we are all waiting for the main event today. Less than an hour left. Manchester City or Tottenham? It's hard to forget how Guardiola's team lost 4-0 home last season... But I think they'll win today. 1.53 is just great odds to take and leave. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: hyudien on August 23, 2025, 10:58:15 AM What do you think? Can Spurs put up a fight against Man City? And can City beat Spurs? Without further ado, I'll place City in a 1x2 bet. The return isn't too bad at x1.53. yeah I can't underestimate Spurs here. They have a good chance of stealing points or even beating City but looking at their recent form, there are still issues. Burnley still managed to create plenty of chances, although none of them resulted in goals. This is a weakness that City will certainly exploit. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Velvet78 on August 23, 2025, 02:03:09 PM I assume this is the new thread for the 2025/26 season. Have a good discussion everybody. :)
What do you think? Can Spurs put up a fight against Man City? And can City beat Spurs? OMG, Tottenham did it again! :D They beat Guardiola's students once again at Etihad. Manchester City couldn't even answer with a goal. And honestly, they really played like sh*t. It was thanks to a super solid defending by Tottenham too of course. van de Ven and Porro were quite impressive. Man what was that performance by Trafford? He made horrible mistakes... After this disappointment I must admit one thing. I started to think Manchester City should absolutely bring Donnarumma... The Wolves game was deceptive. Manchester City still have problems.

And can City beat Spurs? City gets thrashed by Tottenham again for the second times. The last time they got this embarrassing result was around November last year. The ball possession and transition still remain their main problem in this game. Their goalie is also terrible by always holding the ball way too long. They get worsen with their mid that played so deep in this game. They looked so bad today. They need to find the balance in their squad. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Callido on August 23, 2025, 04:57:37 PM Arsenal vs Leeds ongoing. Scores 0-0 as both teams keep fighting for the opening goal. Gyokeres got a perfect chance in front of the post but the rush to hit the ball didn't help change the scores.
Leeds are playing well also, great reflex from Raya kept the game alive for Arsenal. Couldn't watch Mancity vs Tottenham match live, the final scores was unbelievable, wondering how bad it was for gamblers who supported Mancity in their bet.

Arsenal better not break my heart tonight because I went all in on them. Everything point to their advantage and they are also playing at home which should make it an easy three points for them. Leeds can be stubborn sometimes but it should not be tonight that Arsenal need the winning to keep their record clean. Arsenal is supposed to aim for many goals as Chelsea and Tottenham are standing strong on goal advantage. Leeds are playing well also, great reflex from Raya kept the game alive for Arsenal.

The game is currently 4-0 with goals from Timber, Saka, and Gyökeres. The match is almost coming to an end, so the Gunners have secured the maximum three points. The big teams or favourites are winning this week, except Manchester City, who were beaten by Tottenham. It's a high score and a clean sheet for Arsenal against Leeds.Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: emrecemsan on August 23, 2025, 08:38:25 PM Mate, I thought Manchester City would be the one winning this time. But I got so wrong... Still nothing improved at this team, for real? Maybe it's too early you'll say but this really reminds me of the last season I'm afraid. :(
Good work by Gyökeres in his 2nd match! 2 goals... Saka had to be subbed off early because of an injury. I hope it's not a serious one again. Arsenal have just got him back. What should we say about Timber actually? Spectacular effort! Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: len01 on August 23, 2025, 08:39:42 PM What do you think?

Looking at these statistics, it's clear that in terms of ball possession, Man City was much better. However, they failed to break through Spurs defense. On the other hand, Spurs managed to tear apart Man City's defense with quicker attacks. This time, I was misled by Man City's strong start, but they still have some weaknesses in their defense, something Guardiola should prioritize more. Unfortunately, statistics doesn't hand you the three points, Tottenham is getting increasingly dangerous this season. Humbling Manchester City is an achievement, but humbling them from away makes the win very exceptional. Manchester City lost lots of chances while Tottenham converted two out of their few chances on goal including a messy pass from the goalkeeper. Congratulations to them, three points well securedTitle: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: nelson4lov on August 23, 2025, 10:41:18 PM City tried to deceive us last week that all their issues from last season didn't follow them to this season. You can imagine my surprise when I learnt they lost at home to Tottenham which is very embarrassing because when city were on top of their game, Tottenham used to be at the receiving end of this fixture.
Btw, Arsenal are off to a great start with that 5-0 win against Leeds United. Amongst all the teams currently competing in the premier league, I think arsenal is the biggest threat to Liverpool's title defense. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: masulum on August 24, 2025, 12:29:38 AM City tried to deceive us last week that all their issues from last season didn't follow them to this season.

Amongst all the teams currently competing in the premier league, I think arsenal is the biggest threat to Liverpool's title defense. I think Arsenal are indeed strong candidates to threaten Liverpool position for the title race, but it depend to Arsenal consistency first, as they've often been inconsistent in the second half of the season. They were close to winning the title last season, Their inconsistency was the reason they failed to become champions last season and several seasons before. for Leeds, the signing of Okafor not giving any impact on this match, since when he came in, the team was already far behind. So, it was difficult for him to show his quality in that situation. But as I mentioned earlier, this could be a wasted transfer for Leeds. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: emrecemsan on August 24, 2025, 11:14:12 AM City tried to deceive us last week that all their issues from last season didn't follow them to this season.

Amongst all the teams currently competing in the premier league, I think arsenal is the biggest threat to Liverpool's title defense. Manchester City are literally the same as the last season. :P Some people got carried away by the 4-0 Wolves victory. But it was meaningless. We were going to see the real Manchester City in a bigger match. And we did... My rankings for the biggest title contenders are as below. 1. Liverpool 2. Arsenal 3. Chelsea / Manchester City I can't decide between those 2 teams for number 3 to tell the truth. Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated. If Guardiola can't make his team better in time Chelsea can finish the league ahead of them.

You can imagine my surprise when I learnt they lost at home to Tottenham which is very embarrassing because when city were on top of their game, Tottenham used to be at the receiving end of this fixture. City only improved in their attackers and midfielders. Meanwhile, they're still crap at defense and goalie. Honestly, Trafford is not ready for PL's level. They have to buy Donnarumma to fix it asap. They also need a proper defender. Their weakness was totally exposed by Tottenham in that game. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: ILuckyGuyI on August 24, 2025, 05:55:12 PM Nothing has changed on Manchester United side! Still having the same problems. Not being able to score comfortably and having issues with clean sheets. :P You can say "It's just the beginning of the season." but I won't change my mind for now.
Now waiting on what Liverpool will do tomorrow... Honestly my expectation is a satisfying win by them. Newcastle have lost a significant power after Isak decided not to start the games. I think Liverpool will win and 1.97 is great to bet on. ;) Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 2 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: nelson4lov on August 24, 2025, 10:07:50 PM ~Snip City only improved in their attackers and midfielders.

Their weakness was totally exposed by Tottenham in that game. I honestly didn't see any reason why they preferred Trafford to Ederson but I get not including Ederson in the squad only if they get Donnarumma otherwise just sticking with Trafford is just BS. That loss yesterday to spurs was shocking to say the least after that 4-0 win in matchday 1. ~Snip ~Snip My rankings for the biggest title contenders are as below. 1. Liverpool 2. Arsenal 3. Chelsea / Manchester City I like this ranking because I'm a Liverpool fan so I'm actually biased towards it but with each passing season, I'm always wondering if this is the season that Arsenal finally wins it? I mean, they've cleared two opening games and most of their new players haven't even started. Definitely going to be a packed season and I'll be there for it.

Several new signings haven't been able to fix the problem. Nevertheless, their performance is commendable, they didn't give up and managed to get 1 point away from Fulham. Regarding Liverpool, I agree with you. The match against Newcastle will be an exciting one. For Liverpool, this is the time to shifting Arsenal position on matchday 2.

Ekitiké started his Liverpool in a great way! He already scored 2 goals and made an assist in 2 games in total. Do you think he will score tonight as well? I have checked anytime goal scorer odds. I have seen that Salah is given 2.44 and Ekitiké has 2.75 odds. Both options look juicy. ;D As a reminder, Salah had 2 goals and 1 assist in the last game at this stadium.

Interesting to see how he will settle to the Sullivan's ultimatum. I personally doubt him will able to get good results in the next two games. Conceding 8 goals in 2 matches is not good. If West Ham loses by more than 2 goals again, it's possible Potter will be sacked sooner than the ultimatum given. One of Potter's worst mistakes, was when he decided to approve transfer of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham. With Spurs, Kudus had provided 2 assists in the opening 2 Premier League matches. Kudus played well with West Ham last season, losing him giving a significant impactfor West Ham. I think, this may be part of West Ham's management's disappointment with Potter.

On the one hand Newcastle has Isak which Liverpool has tried their best to sign into the club because of his outstanding skills and quality. This match might not play out as expected, which is the main reason why I wouldn't bet on the match. A draw is possible in this match.

Let's face this truth. :) They were unbelievably bad in defense. Just as they were against Bournemouth. 4 goals conceded in 2 matches already, alarming!
Newcastle scored 2 goals despite getting a red card. Such a passion! We can easily say they played much better. Liverpool got a very undeserved victory and Arne Slot will surely look for what he can do about this dangerous situation.

Their performance was excellent, and I think Newcastle United deserves to get appreciations, as they played much better and seemed unaffected by the red card. For Liverpool, this winning could be just a luck. They scored in the 90+10th minute. Had the match gone into less than 10 minutes of added time, they would settle for a draw. However, this also demonstrated a winning mentality. Despite their poor performance, they managed to secure three crucial points.

- Only 3 days after the Fulham game, they are going to play in the EFL Cup against Grimsby tonight. - And after another 3 days, they are hosting Burnley in the Premier League. What do you think?

Despite the problematic start, I think they will be victorious in both honestly. Manchester United quality is better than both teams they'll face. I think they'll likely win matches over Grimsby, even if it's only by a narrow scores 1-0. In the EPL match, I think Burnley can take an advantages to get a point from United. A draw is still a reasonable result for Burnley. But if United fail to win these two matches, I think they should immediately make the decision to change their coach again, before too late. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 3 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: qurbanshah02 on August 28, 2025, 02:38:34 PM The season has started like a nightmare for Manchester United... And now there is a tight schedule for them before the national break. If Manchester United understands this more, it is better because they will have to improve their internal performance and hard work from this and play hard for their upcoming matches which will make them stronger and win. In these matches of theirs, I had hoped with Felham that they would try to play something good with them. But they failed in that too and drew the match by only 1 goal and if they played something good with Grimsby, there was no pressure from their players to not let the third goal happen but the opposing team scored and won by 1 goal. It is not useless to hope from Manchester United but it is useless to think about their performance because they are playing badly at the beginning of the league and are weakening their foundation.- Only 3 days after the Fulham game, they are going to play in the EFL Cup against Grimsby tonight. - And after another 3 days, they are hosting Burnley in the Premier League. What do you think? Will they be able to win both of these games? ??? Despite the problematic start, I think they will be victorious in both honestly.

I think changing coaches might be an option at this point. We've seen Manchester United last five matches, they only managed one win, a friendly against Fiorentina, and that was on penalties. This is clearly not an achievement Manchester United fans can be proud of. They spent over €200m on transfer windows, yet the results are still like this. I'm sure this isn't simply due to a lack of players, but also to the inability to deliver the right strategy.

I'm trusting them to win to tell the truth. But I just don't expect a big score you know. Their H2H results also tell us that at least. Fulham are a competitive opponent. No Palmer today in addition to that. But I must admit Chelsea are still looking good without him.

So, I'm not picking Liverpool in this match. -snip No Palmer today in addition to that. Chelsea have found a talented young player to replace Palmer. Last week, Chelsea won, despite having to change their lineup minutes before the match due to Palmer's injury during the warm-up. Estevao is likely to play as starter again. If he performs as well as last week in his second appearance, Chelsea fans won't have to worry about the lineup without Palmer.

FT! Chelsea wins it 2 - 0. Some things that i must highlight is that. 1. They secre three points and clean sheet. 2. Their rival fans get pissed off. They get a great result given how disjointed they are dring the first half, but able to change it in the second half. They could score three if jp was not missing his big chance after receive accuurate pass by chalobah. so many positive things showed by them in this game.

However, what's more important is how a player maintains team balance, especially when not yet in the starting lineup. Although Palmer typically plays an attacking midfielder, both have the flexibility to play on the right wing. Well, Chelsea can put in a solid performance without Palmer so far, as Estevao has shown his capabilities in his first two appearances, including the win against Fulham. If you want, you can become an Arsenal supporter because you have your own choice and thinking, which no one can say is wrong, but you can definitely talk about their performance and wins.

Hopefully next season he would be signed.On other hand, Guehi was also important signing, but since they still have several defenders such as Leonni and Gomez. I think they fine. That's why i'd rather put Isak's transfer as their priority transfer over Guehi's transfer. They have so many CBs and can rotate them.

He hasn't played in any PL matches yet because of disagreements with Newcastle. Arne Slot wouldn't risk it because of that. But he'd enter in the second halves for some time. Ekitiké is in a really good form. It won't be easy to cut him.

For this, he will have to work hard and try hard because the real and best player is the one who is better in every aspect.

They are currently the only team starting the Premier League without point losses after 3 weeks passed. Now Isak and Guéhi are also arriving at Liverpool! Isak is the only one that comes to the Liverpool during the transfer deadline. Guehi's deal was off due Palace rejected his move to the Liverpool in the last minutes after they received a threat from Glasner to resign if they sell Guehi. Guehi feel so unhappy at this moment. :DTitle: Re: ⚽ Matchday 3 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: satscraper on September 05, 2025, 02:19:03 PM Because they were trying in the second half but still wasting all those opportunities.

If these efforts come to fruition this duo could wreak havoc on any defense in League. I wish Isak all the best and hope he demonstrate strong performances and succeeds with Liverpool. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 4 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Velvet78 on September 05, 2025, 04:30:27 PM I have heard that Liverpool wants to part ways with Chiesa as soon as possible. He hasn't been included into their Champions League squad either. He is only a rotational player there in local tournaments.
He is still 27 years old so not the end of the world for him. Even though he hasn't been the first choice he is still a part of one of top European teams. I hope his next team would be a place where he can play regularly of course.

However I'm not expecting him to be in the starting 11 straight away. He lacks match fitness as you know. Liverpool has done well but it now depends on how he will develop Liverpool by proving his performance and he will be successful by proving himself as a better player. Maybe they want to give him a good opportunity so that he can succeed and strengthen himself. For this, he will have to work hard and try hard because the real and best player is the one who is better in every aspect.

So I don't think Arne Slot will put him straight into the starting XI, meaning Arne Slot will most likely keep him on the bench for now. On the other hand, I see Hugo Ekitiké joining in, and starting to score goals. So I would say that who gets playing time will not just depend on their name, but also on their fitness and form ...).

However I'm not expecting him to be in the starting 11 straight away. He lacks match fitness as you know. Isak has been out for months from playing competitive football. It's quite long for a professional footballer like him. It's obvious starting him is kinda risky, but i believe he will be starting from the bench. Ekitike may always be the starter until Isak will able to regain his confidence. However, Slot is unpredictable. He maybe also putting Isak in the starting 11, but not to give him full minutes. He hasn't played in any PL matches yet because of disagreements with Newcastle. Arne Slot wouldn't risk it because of that. But he'd enter in the second halves for some time.

So, this is Slot's main problem to manage his game time.

The most surprising thing after 3 weeks is that Manchester United have started the season a little better (both are still a mess though). Guardiola was really desperate against Tottenham and Brighton both... What do you think about this derby? I'd like to remind a thing. Amorim won here the last time and didn't lose to Guardiola in the last 2 league matches.

Amorim won here the last time and didn't lose to Guardiola in the last 2 league matches. Man City has only earned three points from three matches, while Manchester United has four points from three. Both are not yet at their best, and this match will likely be a very tough one, both to end their bad conditions and to prove who is the king of Manchester in the first half of the Premier League season. Guardiola reminds me of Mourinho experience, in the past. A manager who brought numerous titles to his teams, suddenly struggling to deliver good results. IMO, Manchester United could be the favorites to win this match.

Seeing how they get losses in their last two games enough to prove they're not good enough atm. So it's fair to think 50:50 for them and MU. I know bookied valued them(1.73) smaller than MU(4.75), but i won't be repeating the same mistake.

As a result, I don't expect the high-scoring events, but win is certainly possible. I'm particularly interested in seeing Donnarumma's performance at derby. A lot will depend on his skills. Will he be a full substitute for Ederson in the current season? Only time will tell.

Ederson has agreed to join Fenerbahce and there is only Trafford and Ortega(doubt he will play). So i predict Donnarumma as the main goalie and Trafford as his second. Ortega may be benched until winter, and leave from there too.

So you think Manchester United will be able to win Manchester city? Don’t you think you taking so much risk by giving Manchester United direct win in the match? I agree that Manchester city performance isn’t so good yet this season, but if you check Manchester United performance also, they are not also performing well also, so even if I will be predicting who will be winning the match, then I won’t be predicting Manchester United to win the match. The match is going to be a interesting and tough one, and we all know Manchester United performance do always improve whenever they are playing against top teams, but if I will compare the two teams performance, then I will say Manchester city still play better than Manchester United, i know Manchester city is at the bottom of the table right now, but if the match doesn’t end as draw, then am expecting a win from Manchester City, even if they are going to win with a slight goal difference.

City obviously played better but they were ball possession team. They will face MU's gameplay as their counter. We know how MU often play defensive combined with the direct counter attack. It means think City is slightly having disadvantage in this game considering Pep's tactic is always monoton. Believe me, they will struggle to beat MU and can even lose in this game.

But the Donnarumma signing is really great. He is one of the best GKs in the world right now. And Guardiola had a chance to snatch him for only 30 million euros.

I understand it's not entirely the goalkeeper's fault, but this could be seen as a decline in his abilities retaining the current goalkeeper might not be able to solved City defensive weaknesses. However, having Donnarumma as their goalkeeper and acting as the last line of defense might help minimize goals conceded. This is why I said maybe City wanted to stop the problem and believe to Donnarumma to hold off the opponent attacks.

It's been a long time since they are become mediocre clubs, and till today, they are still unable to solve their problem. Well, about the odds, for those willing to take bigger risks, that's not bad at 3.7x.

Especially while both teams aren't still looking good. BTTS @1.60 is a better risk to take for me. Pep's squad has always been favored in their H or A games. However, the result was always up and down. Sometimes, they win, sometimes they lose. I'd call myself stupid if i were betting straightbet City win. We have been seeing how they clearly favored against Tottenham, but lose in that game. So, i'm thinking betting on them to win is just wasting our money. BTTS seems good choice, but i also think total over two which is also a good choice considering their h2h. The game between City and United rarely end with two goals or less.

When he was still at Tottenham, if Ange Postecoglou remained offensive, there was still a possibility of over 2.5 goals in the match with odds that were realistic enough to win.Since this is Ange Postecoglou's first time at Forest, it is still impossible to predict the outcome.

You're concerning about City's injury while you also forget to mention if MU is alo losing Mount and Cunha who is getting sidelined for several weeks. These both of clubs have a lot of injured players. It's hard to determine which club to have greater chance to win, but considering MU is missing Cunha their chance is slightly lower than City to win the game. It's stright with how bookies priced them all. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 4 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: letteredhub on September 12, 2025, 06:13:41 PM Did you just say its a bit risky to bet on Manchester united to win? That's not a bit risky, it's absolutely risky. In fact, I don't think any gambler would risk their investment on Manchester united in the first place. Although, I'm not confident that Manchester City will win either but betting in favor of Manchester united is a bad approach to this game. Both teams are in a moment of struggle but Manchester City seems to look prettier than United and the bookies already consider this by giving City a fair and lower odds. I will be surprised if Manchester United turn things opposite.

His impact so far is gradually becoming irreplaceable as he's very tactical with a continuous attacking formation. I also feel that Bryan Mbuemo plays better when he's paired with Cunha even though Manchester United can capitalise on Manchester city's current bad form to secure a possible 2:1 victory on Sunday. However, there could be home influences on the game which could ruin Manchester United possible hope. Benjamin Sesko is fit and could start in the game. I believe Manchester United has more chances of winning with a 2:1 in their favour. yeah Manchester derby is always exciting however this match is particularly important. Absence of Manchester United striker Matheus Cunha & Citys recent poor form have made the match even more complicated. While City have been in great form with Haaland in attack, their defence has shown some problems. On the other hand you will find United while strong in attack, have some challenges in defence. In these uncertain times imo a draw seems the most likely outcome, mate.

Exactly my point in this game, the two teams are lethargic in their defense most especially Manchester city, so if man united can be able to get their attacking players firing up all angles then they have a chance of winning the game. But at the moment, the united attackers are not really firing up, the front three including newcomers like Cunha, Sesko, and Mbuemo are yet to adapt strongly enough and start firing. And that is an advantage to Manchester city who in the other hand, their attacking players with the likes of Halaand, Doku, and Foden have been together in the team for a couple of seasons now and have been firing up with their attacks will really make the difference in this game.

I believe they will be playing highline defensive instead fully defensive like what Nuno did. It clearly gives Arsenal more opportunity to score, but the odds is not tempting enough.

I wasn't expecting this honestly. Because Lammens has already been playing for Antwerp this season. He doesn't lack of game fitness. This is why I thought he would be Amorim's choice tomorrow. But it turns out he doesn't want to... Maybe he doesn't want to risk it in such a big game because of Lammens' not building a chemistry with the players much yet.

Man United remains the same as before, with inconsistent performance, and this is why many people still believe in Man City, and even bookmakers favor City as the winner. However, seeing the current condition of Guardiola’s squad, which is experiencing many injuries, I am daring to bet on a double chance (draw or Man United) to get higher odds.https://talkimg.com/images/2025/09/08/UniKDH.png Guardiola's students are of course favoured on paper.

Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 4 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Velvet78 on September 13, 2025, 05:05:14 PM Arsenal beat Forest in a really clean way today. 3-0 and honestly I can't say Forest could have scored a single goal. They were horrible with creating goal opportunities for themselves during the whole game.
It is not a good start for Ange Postecoglou... However I'm aware that it was one of the most difficult fixtures in his first time already. They can get better in time with his attacking-oriented game plan. By the way wasn't Zubimendi superb today? He is a player who rarely scores normally. But he scored 2 goals in this game. One of them was even a header considering he isn't a tall player. Gyökeres was also good. Eze seems promising too with his assist. Martinelli is facing a big competition for the first time in a long while.

Here's a list of City's injured players who are likely to miss the match against Manchester United, according to data I gathered from https://www.premierleague.com/en/latest-player-injuries We should wait and see how the match will go. I know lots of Manchester city players are currently on injury which is really affecting them currently, because we all have seen how bad Manchester city have been playing since the season started, just imagine that Manchester city are currently in 16th position on the table which is really bad, out of the three matches played, they were able to win just 1 match which is really a bad one.
I know Manchester city performance is not good due to their players on injury, but if you can check Manchester United performance also, you will see that Manchester United performance is not good also, the have played three matches, and they have won just one match which was against Burnley, so United are not also playing well. The match is just going to be a interesting one, even as the two teams are not really in form currently, I still have the feelings that Manchester City should be able to win the match, if Manchester city cant get a win in the match, then I expect a draw to happen in the match, but I don’t think Manchester United will be able to win city in the match.

Another bad week for Villa. 4 games, 0 wins and 0 score. This becomes Emery's worst season in Villa. He seems failed to adapt his player, and still struggle to find the right recipe to give good result to the fans. Almost everyone is casting doubt to him, and demand him to be sacked. I'm not overreacting him, but seeing many demands him out from the club is normal. Let's imagine they bought players for millions, yet can't even win a single game since the PL was started. He also breaks Villa's new record as the worst start ever since 1997/98. I don't think to see him stay until winter if his club keeps lose three points and keeps his stubbornness.

I never expected Villa to win yesterday but I didn't expect the goalless draw from both teams either. It's left for Unai Emery to change his tactics because it's obviously not working again. I'm not sure if he would be in this job for much longer if fails to turn things around sooner than expected. I initially thought Aston villa had one of the easiest starts this season looking at their first ten fixtures but I'm totally wrong in my assumption. Imagine what will happen when they play Liverpool, Arsenal and other top teams if they find it difficult to get even a goal in last four matches played. Sadly, the coach is always on the receiving end even when the fault is from the players end due to their unseriousness.

And they'll be more goals from both sides too, but in a scenerio where Guardiola wants to rest his key players against the champions league game then Man U will take a better lead on them this time around.

The match between Manchester city and Manchester united just ended few minutes ago with 3:0 scores, and haaland was man of the match, although am not surprised that Manchester united lost against Manchester city in this match, because it was already obvious that Manchester united is not in good form this season, amorim is not really doing a good job in Manchester united after buying good and quality players the Manchester united team is still not in good form which is not making sense to me, amorim should better work on that team or he should leave the club if his not capable of managing the club, because in this match between Manchester city and Manchester united, what Manchester United plaid was not really impressing at all. I know it's not easy to manage a club, but amorim should put more effort on the Manchester united team.

I know it's not easy to manage a club, but amorim should put more effort on the Manchester united team. He played five defenders against city and yet didn't understand that games like this should have been followed with enough attackers. Man U wasn't in form and it's not their first time of not being in form, it's becoming a tradition. No useful shoot to the city side unless that of Mbeumo which was intercepted by the goal keeper. Amorim's problem is a bigger issue at the kind of formation he chooses to play, also the players he bought are begining to fade out just in the few matches of the season. It's really a sad experience for the red devils.

He made so many mistakes in this game. I wonder how long MU's management will tolerate him. I think he deserves no place as a head coach anymore. Just like at how his club never improved even after he made some big signings in summer. The match between Manchester city and Manchester united just ended few minutes ago with 3:0 scores, and haaland was man of the match, although am not surprised that Manchester united lost against Manchester city in this match, because it was already obvious that Manchester united is not in good form this season, amorim is not really doing a good job in Manchester united after buying good and quality players the Manchester united team is still not in good form which is not making sense to me, amorim should better work on that team or he should leave the club if his not capable of managing the club, because in this match between Manchester city and Manchester united, what Manchester United plaid was not really impressing at all. I know it's not easy to manage a club, but amorim should put more effort on the Manchester united team. His team played averagely, hard to cv the big chances, and awful defense as always.

If Amorim performance doesn’t improve, then I don’t think Amorim is really going to stay long at Manchester United, but the question is if Manchester United sack Amorim, which coach are they going to replace him with?

The internet let loose when he signed Sesko, that was massive, yet Amorim is not bringing out the best talent in this remarkable striker. Look at Mbeumo now struggling to net a goal, it's really slow what the midfielders are doing in Man U. As for who to replace Amorim it's not a trouble, they're numerous managers to take up the post of head manager at man U when he's removed. Even the ex Burnley boss 'Sean Dyche' is a top choice on the list. If Amorim performance doesn’t improve, then I don’t think Amorim is really going to stay long at Manchester United, but the question is if Manchester United sack Amorim, which coach are they going to replace him with?

Pep have not been able to beat Ruben Amorim since he arrived at Manchester United so it going to be a difficult one for both side this weekend. Well if I’m to gamble on this match, I would choose the Corner option, to me it more safer, I can say for sure that in this match Manchester city will be in control but find it very difficult to score, with Marmoush injured Doku will have the opportunity to start, there is always more corner when Doku plays for city, He loves 1V1.

Manchester City are really destroying the Red Devils right now. :) What a performance by Haaland... 2 goals and he was so close to making a hat-trick too. Amorim is really desperate this time. He isn't able to do the same to them at Etihad this season. Will Manchester United remain patient with the current coach? It hasn't been a good start for United even since last season. Looking back, in their last 9 matches, they've lost 5 matcges, not including friendlies. In other side, Pep finally brought Donnarumma on as starter, despite earlier reports suggesting he might not play in this match. This proves Pep wants to end his bad form. The coach needs swift action like this, unlike Manchester United, who seem to have forgotten how to be a great team.

Will he get close to the number of goals he scored in the Premier League in his first season again? 36 goals in 35 games... I wonder whether Arsenal will be able to stop him at the weekend.

The match is still in the first half, but they have already conceded two goals from Brentford. Although they managed to score one goal, this signaled a possibility that MU could lose the match until the end. Amorim must immediately change their strategy in the second half to win. Scoring two goals in the second half is no easy, but MU must be maximized to secure win.
Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 6 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: X-ray on September 27, 2025, 01:19:18 PM Honestly, Amorim's system has been completely broken. It's bad he has no intention to change it. His broken system forced his players to played shite even when they play one match in a week. Things worsen when his team has no good midfield who can bounce the ball build from the backline. It makes them being clueless and rely upon the long ball.
It's absolutely utter wank to see them keep doing long ball again and again with no creativity. If they still continue play like that, they will finish at the bottom half again.

Let's see, two weeks, two red cards for Chelsea. This a significant loss for the team heading into their upcoming matches. What do you think? What's wrong with Chelsea? The blame should be directed to all of their defenders and Maresca. I try to point out some key points here. 1. Poor and inconsistent defense really cost Chelsea so much. Their defenders always moving upfront and leaving their position. It makes them always too late in doing the transition from attacking to the defending. They also lack of defender who has speed in order to catch up opponent's forward. 2. Poor team management and subs by Maresca. I'm getting tired to see Maresca to always playe with 9 defenders combined 1 attacker after his team went down with 10 men. I know his point to ensure his team can defense his team's lead, but it's often became a boomerang due to poor backline. He shall stop this or he will lose his job.

I try to point out some key points here. Sounds interesting, i think, it's weird to see Chelsea and their position right now, 2 win, 2 lose, 2 draw, and 2 red card, this is really not a good start for them. However, if the loss 1 player became the reason, then the manager must immediately take a decission to set an alternative strategy when they are playing with 10 men because of red cards. If they continue with this strategy, it will be easy for their opponents to beat them. On matchday 7, they face Liverpool, which will be even more difficult for Chelsea to get 3 points. Full preparations and training needed for chelsea.

While Bournemouth finished ninth last season, if they perform consistently, they have a better chance of winning this season. Liverpool's losing streak continues. While they usually win in the final minutes, in their Round 7 match against Chelsea, Chelsea did just that to Liverpool. After the international break, I'm sure Premier League teams will struggle if any of their players suffer injuries while on international duty.

You can’t blame Sanchez or chalobah for those red card, as for Pedro maybe he should have acted better. Maresca have been in charge for over a year now and we have never witness any act of indiscipline from his players. And Ange picked a points already this season when his team travelled to burnley, match ended in a 1-1 draw. Against Chelsea I don’t think they stand a chance, at least chalobah will be available for Chelsea and maybe Fofana so they have 2 center back back and also Anchenpong should be available too.

You are right that this week the matches will be played very interestingly and strongly which will be very impressive for us because if we talk about the first match then it is Manchester City and if they win the match then I will be very happy and in addition to that they will become strong which will also improve their record which is why this match is interesting and if we talk about Everton then I fully hope that this match will go in their favor and it can also be a draw. In the match between Manchester United and Liverpool this victory is clear in which Liverpool's victory is clear and Manchester United will not be a successful team in this match because Liverpool has players who are strong enough to defeat Manchester United easily.Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 8 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: ILuckyGuyI on October 12, 2025, 05:37:00 PM Next round, hopefully my Chelsea open the week with a lovely win. ::) That win over Liverpool should be some help for them in their recovery.

It didn't take them too much time to start losing. Even 3 losses in a row. I think they'll beat Man Utd in their next fixture though.

You know Chelsea's biggest advantage is against Ange's highline defensive strategy, while they flop whey they fight a low block team.

Above all I have a reminder related to their h2h results. 2-2 and 0-0 were the scores of their last 2 meets at Anfield. Liverpool finished both of those seasons in much better positions than them in the PL also. But I don't like their game lately. They lost 3 games in a row. I wouldn't like to take the risk with their win. Instead I say both teams will score. 1.56 given for that. Manchester United have 82 shots so far which is keeping them at top of total shots stats.

After Chelsea's victory in this match, they will be quite strong and I do not believe that Chelsea has succeeded in winning this match because there was a lot of prediction in this match that Liverpool will win and maybe I also predicted this in favor of Liverpool but I was wrong. Chelsea has proven itself and strengthened itself by working hard in this match. They are looking quite unsuccessful in this league because their hard work and performance are not that good. Chelsea will also be able to win this match because Chelsea has been able to defeat a team like Liverpool, so they will achieve this success by scoring more goals than Nottingham Forest. Chelsea has a chance to win the next few matches and be successful in their strength because their next matches are easy. If a good player is not in the team, then its strength is lacking, but still they do not stop working hard.You know Forest have been in trouble... Ange is still not improving the results of the team.

Brighton vs Newcastle and Liverpool vs United could easily swing either way depending on midweek form. I’m curious, which game do you think offers the best live-betting value this round?

Chelsea should be winning that Forest match no matter what. The fans will see it as a much more comfortable one after facing Liverpool.

The arrival of Ange was expected to bring the best to Nottingham Forest, but the results exceeded their expectations. The Brighton vs. Newcastle United match was also interesting, although overall, the matchday 8 match between Liverpool and Manchester United is expected to be a more popular draw.

I don't know why this is happening especially while Forest is keeping Ange Postecoglou. 3 losses and 1 draw (1 goal scored, 7 conceded) is his record so far. He had better get ready for a new loss. Maybe there has been an international break but I still don't think they will surprise us. Even while Palmer is out for many weeks Chelsea can win I think.

Caicedo is also not a starter but he might be subbed in later. Joao Pedro will have even a bigger responsibility today.
But he has also been out of form recently. Now I understand why Chelsea have even more increased odds now. It's even 2.14 at the moment. I guess I'll stay away from this match as for betting. ;D Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 8 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: $crypto$ on October 18, 2025, 12:11:20 PM Chelsea's odds continue to get higher in time interestingly...

There are several reasons why the odds are increasing for Chelsea even though Forest is playing poorly with Ange.Enzo Maresca cannot accompany Chelsea due to a red card against Liverpool. Enzo Pernandez and Cole Palmer are absent, which is likely why Chelsea's odds are increasing. So, betting on a Chelsea win in this match doesn't carry much risk of losing. Hmm, there is still a risk. Lol.How do I justify this bet? Lol :) Besides, I see that Chelsea's game is not very aggressive, perhaps because they are missing their core players?

No Enzo, no Caicedo, no Palmer, no Estevao obviously make team become dysfunctional in this game. Playing Santos at Palmor's position is the worst thing i have seen. I'd rather have J Pedro to play in Palmer's position instead of Santos. They fully wasted the first half with their terrible gameplay. I hope there will be some subs to happen in the 2nd half. It will better to see Gusto and Santos to be subbed off in the 2nd half. I have seen enough how terrible they are in this game. Some rotations have to be made if they have intention to win the game.

However Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou has been sacked for his extremely poor performance in this match, his structure and artistry have taught this team nothing, which is why Forest club authorities may make this decision after their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in today's match.
It is very surprising that this manager was ridiculed by the audience today and said that you don't know what to do, in my opinion Forest fans may have been very upset by his actions, as a result, the spectators present at the match expressed great hatred towards him and did not hesitate to ridicule him. Quote from: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/10/18/nottingham-forest-vs-chelsea-live-score-premier-league/ A statement after Forest’s 3-0 defeat by Chelsea said: “Nottingham Forest football club can confirm that after a series of disappointing results and performances, Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties as head coach with immediate effect.” Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 8 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: ZeroVinsonN on October 18, 2025, 02:01:08 PM Chelsea currently holds a 0-2 lead over Nottingham Forest.

That one is not even my problem, it's not like I was hoping they would win today just hoping Ange gets like 2 or 3 more matches to at least secure a win if Nottingham owner can be patient enough.

Since postecoglou joined Nottingham forest, their performance keeps on getting worst, so I don’t think he has anything to offer Nottingham Forest, so it’s just better they let him go, because even if he stays at Nottingham Forest, their Won’t be improvement in their performance, the pattern which he is using doesn’t fit in Nottingham forest, so it’s better Nottingham forest just get someone else, but the question is who are they going to be bring in thats going to improve the teams performance? Since everyone is still speculating about the coach which they are going to bring in, let’s just wait and see the teams final decision, but Nottingham forest already made a great mistake, and I don’t know if they going to balance for now.

It's been a hot topic before. Even if Nottingham change their coach before the Chelsea match, it wouldn't improve Nottingham Forest in less than a week. And the sacking didn't take hours as we expected, it only took 19 minutes after the match for Nottingham Forest to make the decision. Mancini on their lists, but if Mancini doesn't have enough money to buy players he want, I don't think Mancini able to repeat Nottingham best position last season on 7th.Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 8 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: satscraper on October 19, 2025, 06:43:27 AM Looks like an exciting matchweek ahe, a few close fixtures where odds could swing live, especially City vs Everton Manchester City defeated Everton 2-0, dominating the entire match with 26 shot attempts, two of which fit the ax in the helve.

But Manchester City's position behind Arsenal will be taken by Liverpool, who are about to play their eighth game against Manchester United.

I know their biggest mistake by picked the wrong coach really costed them a lot. However, they must move on, and find a reliable replacement to be a new coach. Their previous manager had different philo that can't be implemented in the squad. That's why they must be looking for someone who has defensive strategy as his philo. I named Marco Silva or Sean Dyche as pretty good candidate. They must back to the what they have used to play fully defensive - counter attack strategy. I think those names are suitable enough to handle the squad. Hope their new coach can bounce them back.

In the center for sure with the buying of Wirtz you need to play him constantly, it will not benefit him on the bench and give him 40 min play time. Rotate Mac , Gravenberch and Szoboszlai if needed.

He is a real beast! ;D By the way I really don't like Reijnders. He can't make score contribution. Maybe it is because he isn't an attacking midfielder normally.

West Ham are a weak team that is only making a name for themselves in the history of football and if we talk about their performance, then you have said it right and if we look at their record, they have only won 1 match in the matches so far, that too against Nottingham. If their coach and their management work together to improve this team, it can be better. This is their weakness that takes them down further and if they change some players and improve themselves, then I hope that they can improve a little or they can come to some strength. If they work hard and improve themselves, then they can get points and get a chance in the table for the next season, but if they continue like this, then we will understand that they do not want to improve themselves because they are not able to decide to improve within themselves, which makes them even weaker.Fact: West Ham are repeating their dismal record from 50 years ago, when they only managed four points at the start of the season and finished bottom of the table.

I agree with you that Unai Emery is doing a great job with Villa. Actually, it is no small feat to win consecutive games after a bad start. There is no denying that they are in top form now. But in my opinion, City are running in their machine mode currently. Despite a few minor injuries, they have improved a lot both defensively & offensively. The main thing is that the presence of a player like Haaland is really enough to keep them dangerous. when it comes to betting, its important to account that Citys consistency & experience giving them real boost thats why bookie are offering lowest odds for them.. we will know who will be able to turn the script of this story, Villa or City,, Lets see...

Like, almost 70% of their goals. When teams learn how to cover those corners, how to cover those free kicks, what is the plan B? Against Palace they had not been able to do anything of open play in half an hour Liverpool's the real head scratcher for me. They are not doing a bad job in the opportunities they are generating, and teams have figured out how to beat them: simply go direct, play physical, take advantage of that high line. Brentford did it, and now everybody is following the blueprint. Slots will have to keep pace or this gets ugly Chelsea? They are simply young and unpredictable.

Regardless of how bad their form has been so far in the league I still consider them as one of the top contenders this but the decision of the board would play a role to their success or failure this season so they better act smart instead of taking a silly risk, anyways I'm considering risking on Aston Villa. This advice may not go down well with liverpool management, I hope you remember that they are the defending champions the English premier League which we know that even if they won't win the title again, they will try all their best ro remain atleast at the top four and with this present coach handling the technical affairs of the club, the club may have have a second thought that such plan of theirs may not see the light of the day, however, your opinion is carried but for a team that wants fast result, thats not what they are thinking now, but the performance of this team is unbelievable, we know how good this team was last season all of suddenly they became flops this season to the extent that they had to series of matches.Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 10 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: rakebit on October 31, 2025, 05:01:03 PM Matchday 9 had some real surprises, Brentford’s 3-2 win over Liverpool was wild.

If odds tighten before kickoff, live-betting might offer better value than pre-match picks. It's so damn hard to predict the result of this game. I know Chelsea is in a good mood after they won against Wolves, but i don't forget how Tottenham is also at the 3rd atm. So, i think both chances have almost the same chance to win. I personally rooting on Tottenham considering their defense ain't as bad as Chelsea. Tottenham is gonna host the game so that's easy for them to beat Chelsea. Things can be much easier for them as long as Tosin x Chalobah will play together.

It seems that MU has started to find their best strategy this season, because even though they were 2-1 behind since the 50", they were still able to play with good confidence until they managed to score an equalizer.

Nottingham Forest surprised me today because they have not been in form and most of us thought it was going to be an easy win for Manchester United.

This was really an interesting match... When Manchester United got ahead I thought another win was on the way. ::) But it was a quite surprising comeback by Forest from 0-1 to 2-1. Manchester United were even going to lose nearly. Forest were still a team in mess before this match. I wonder how they found it in themselves to do this. Amorim should be aware of their weaknesses at defending also by the way.

I think the boost Forest has was the fact that they changed there coach. We know how it used to be. A new momentum and everything new. Players would want to impress plus a new atmosphere. So I believe United did not face that weak forest team but faced a revitalised team seeking to re-write there wrongs and make a name for themselves. Sincerely, I was shocked with the come back and the lead within just 2 minutes. Conceding 2 goals within 2 minutes was a shocker for everyone. If not that they managed to equalise, then they would have lost completely and it would have been very bad for them. It is even funny how Manchester United fans already feels like they have arrived with there 3 consecutive wins. But Nottingham Forest proved them wrong as they dragged them to a draw at the end of the 90 mins. Manchester United should step up there defence and seek for a more stable block to avoid such points give away Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 10 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Distraction on November 02, 2025, 05:42:26 PM Manchester City - Bournemouth is going on really lovely.

Haaland is such a beast. ;D 2 goals already and I wonder how long he will stay on the pitch. You know they have a CL match in 3 days against Dortmund home.

Man Utd took 3 points from Liverpool recently so I'm really glad they got to drop points this weekend vs Nottingham Forrest. As for Liverpool, despite the fact that we won yesterday, I still think we aren't strong enough to compete form fo compete for the title this season. Even though we won Villa, we really look shitty.

They are unlucky that they have a Real Madrid match right ahead. :P I can't think very positively about Liverpool in this one even though I know it's at Anfield.

However, for me, this is still a big match, and Liverpool could steal three points from the hosts. Even someone says this doesn't make sense, because Liverpool performance has far away from fans expectations, having been so dominant last season, they lost four times in a row, facing Man City that alread improved after struggling in the early weeks.

I wish they won against Everton too. It was a deserved one I think. Now they are going to play one of their toughest matches in the league. It's against Arsenal... They are like the best version of them this year. I don't give much chance for Sunderland to win of course. But maybe they might get a draw somehow which is also not easy.

I will consider Manchester City better in this match because Liverpool is also weak like Everton at the moment, so Manchester City has a chance to win the match and win the match. This is also a good thing in a way because Liverpool had strengthened themselves, but they could not improve again after losing some matches. We will consider Liverpool to be somewhat better and watch the match between the two.

Currently there is only one point between these teams. But as for their recent forms, Manchester City are far ahead. And their defense is also in a much better shape clearly. However Liverpool also started to show some life signs in their last 2 matches. First Aston Villa and later Real Madrid were their victims. Thinking that they didn't lose to Manchester City for quite a long time too, they might really keep it up.

They are a different team compared when they lost to the spurs at EL final, but there's no guarantee they can comeback home with three points. Draw is most likely to happen too.

Just 11 matches has been played and Sunderland have been able to get 19 points which is a nice one for them. I don't give much chance for Sunderland to win of course.

But all things considered, if he did played and the game ended that way, there'd still be excuses. Let's not forget that arsenal played without a #9 throughout last season and they won majority of their games. Liverpool did same with only Firmino for several seasons. That game with Sunderland isn't the only arsenal game this season that Gyökeres has missed that they didn't win. The problem with playing teams like Sunderland is that they usually use a low block that forces a disconnect between a striker and his midfield.

We can say this draw can be a lose for them, as win should have been theirs, but one mistake from Arsenal makes Sunderland able to take it as their advantages. Yes, because Sunderland has established itself in such a good position by playing well in their matches. If they play a little better, they can go above Chelsea and Manchester United because Sunderland has made efforts and good decisions in their players, which is why they are improving. Yes, they failed in those matches because of their luck and the loss of their players. But still Arsenal have succeeded in the first position. If Manchester United or the teams below them play well and win the match, they can be equal to Arsenal. I think Manchester United can also fail Arsenal because there is a 4 pts difference between them and if Arsenal fails and Manchester United takes advantage of it, they will succeed in the first position.Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 11 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: satscraper on November 10, 2025, 07:29:32 AM Today I'm on Liverpool's side. There is improvement in their effort lately and their recent history against Manchester City is also good. Contrary to you I was on Manchester City's side and placed the bet on their win which paid off, giving the slight boost to my bankroll. Manchester City literally hammered Liverpool, the 3-0 score says it all. The first goal from their golden boy started the team off as the winner. Liverpool is not the same as it was in the 2024/2025 season. The absence of key players recovering from injury is probably making itself felt.

Manchester City really destroyed Liverpool. The first half was completely one sided which was enough for them to gain a big score advantage. Arne Slot has a lot to think about until next matches.

This was a really bad result for them, conceding three goals can be a proof if Liverpool have a problem with their defence. They even continued their negative run, winning just once in five matches.

Just way beyond probably most people's expectations. Liverpool were struggling maybe but their recent couple results were looking promising. But it turns out that they were just misleading. Liverpool simply couldn't defend or attack well. By the way what do you think about VVD's disallowed goal by VAR? Do you think Robertson was really blocking the goalkeeper?

I was expecting a win by a close margin but Sunderland got that l point in the stoppage time. :P Before the match started, I was expecting the match to be easy for Arsenal since we all can see how consistent Arsenal is right now, I know Sunderland performance has been good also, but I was thinking they won’t be able to hold Arsenal down, but Sunderland surprised me in the match, they couldn’t get a win, but they were able to get a draw in the match. Which is really a nice one from them, I never expected such a good performance from Sunderland in the match. Manchester City really destroyed Liverpool. The first half was completely one sided which was enough for them to gain a big score advantage. Arne Slot has a lot to think about until next matches. I never expected 3 goals from Liverpool in the match, I was expecting a slight goal difference, but Manchester city performance was impressive in the match, they were able to score 3 goals which I never expected, they humiliated Liverpool. Seriously Liverpool needs to start working on their performance, their performance is getting worst, and I don’t even know the cause. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 12 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: masulum on November 11, 2025, 04:59:34 PM By the way what do you think about VVD's disallowed goal by VAR? Do you think Robertson was really blocking the goalkeeper? From replay we can see no distractions from Rob to the goalkeeper, VAR just said if Rob is on offside positions. I don't know, why referee follow the VAR, since Rob not taking the ball before the goal. And I dont see if Rob touch a ball even just an accident. Rob clearly avoided the ball, if he . So, I think this goal should be allowed. If he blocks the goalkeeper view, it is not an intentional distraction, because the ball from VVD heading towards a narrow angle. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 11 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Pulsar77 on November 12, 2025, 10:35:50 AM Underrated team. That's the only word that represent Sunderland's condition right now. They were so damn good phisically, they also showed their passion in this game. If they could defend their lead, they might win it. A bit disappointed when they a bit disjointed and gave Trossard free space to score. However, hats off for all their players. Don't forget in fact that they always scored the winning goal and equalizing goal during the stoppage time. Amazing show. ;D :D Sunderland have used 4 different formations in 11 matches so far. Changing a system this often doesn't always work well for a team honestly. But they are still in top 4 now so no problem for them currently. :) Trossard can really be a game changer from time to time. Nearly whenever he scores a goal it gives his team an advantage. Like from behind to a tie or from a tie to getting ahead. Well, I'm sorry to say you are on the wrong side on this match, Liverpool lose 3 goals from City. This was a really bad result for them, conceding three goals can be a proof if Liverpool have a problem with their defence. They even continued their negative run, winning just once in five matches. Liverpool need to improve their strategy and performance, so in the next match, they are not playing bad like this again.

Of that list, only Tottenham is a formidable opponent.

With current team conditions, i think even bottom tier team on the table will able to at least give a draw score to Liverpool. They have to learn with their last match vs Brentford, if Brentford able to stealing 3 points from Liverpool, another mid or bottom team still have the same possibility. Except, Slot have new strategy that match with their squad or make him stopped to blaming his team with sacked him from Liverpool. everytime he lose, he always looking for someone can be blamed for the lose.

Liverpool's performance and condition are not very strong and well-established at the moment, so Liverpool has the opportunity to try to succeed by showing good performance in the next matches so that their strength and position can improve significantly. If we predict in these matches in which match Liverpool will perform well and win. In all these matches, Liverpool's victory can improve their record by drawing with Nottingham, Leeds United, Tottenham, and West Ham. While other teams can be difficult for Liverpool. Although they try, they can succeed, which can make their victory and their record even better and stronger.

Not running as well as Arne Slot tactician this season after spending huge amount for signing several top players but difficult to defend top performance, so far Liverpool have losses 5 of 11 games in domestic league and one loss more than last season just loss 4 of 38 games. Defending the tittle almost difficult for Liverpool and I think realistic target secure the top fourth position and focus for Champion League matches, indeed still have bigger chance due premier league has many matches left if not improve performance I think difficult for Liverpool will move the top position. They spend huge amount in last season, but it's not helpful because their attack and defense both are not as they needed for staying into top ranks and also defend of their title in last game against Manchester City they were completely outclassed by Citizens at Etihad Stadium which is terrible and huge below for them because with this lost now they are at 8th spot and their chances are going slim for having top 2 spots. After international break, Liverpool have more dominance with the middle standings teams opponent will face and its advantage for improving current position standings, if won't drop outside the top fourth must get three points every games.

You're right, maybe he is reluctant because when he came things worked out for him easily and he went on to win the league so it could be the reason why he thinks his system will work for him. He came and used a perfect squad Klopp left behind and he feels his system is would dominate the league. The premier league is not an easy league, you just have to keep updating your system and squad else you will be figured out and will find it difficult to win even the smallest of teams.

If he doesn't change, Liverpool will likely fall further if left to continue like this. Slot must be like other coaches who can adapt and compete over time.

Newcastle vs City is always volatile, odds often shift fast once lineups drop, so watching the live market can give better value than pre-match. Arsenal–Spurs also tends to produce late goals, making over-1.5 after halftime a reasonable angle.

When most teams lose to small teams, big changes will occur every time the transfer market is opened. Slots are stuck with bad strategies and blaming other people for their failures is not a better solution. It's better to look for new players and then adjust the strategy according to the players' skills and abilities. I've heard Slot texting Klopp lately. I don't know what it was about though. Probably asking for some ideas on Liverpool's condition? ;D I think Liverpool fans have started to miss Klopp slowly. I can say Klopp's first years weren't also easy. He was given for a few years to make the team a really powerful one. But can Slot do the same? If you ask for my opinion I would say no in this way. He really needs to be open for new strategies.

Mikel Arteta doesn't seem to be able to relax during the international break, as many of his players have been called up for international duty in November, so he must be anxiously monitoring everything because if one of them gets injured, it will be additional homework for him.

The current problem is that the Arsenal team is facing problems with the main player, Gabriel Magalhaes, who is injured while strengthening the national team, and their opponent this week is Tottenham, of course this is a difficult match and they must be able to win so that the points affair will be further away from Manchester City, but from Tottenham there are also injured players so both clubs will play with the hope of getting maximum points, if they draw or lose then Manchester City can be able to narrow the gap in the standings if they can win when facing Newcastle, we just wait for this week's match, of course the competition in the standings will be even more exciting.

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/11/16/UPNWgH.jpeg This is technically a plain logic though. :P Let's take Arsenal as an example. There are 27 more matches to go. 27 x 2.36 = 63.72. When we add this to their current points we find an amount around 90. There isn't such thing as the league will go on like this until the end. But I would really like to see Arsenal finally lifting the PL trophy after 20+ years... Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 12 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: qurbanshah02 on November 17, 2025, 10:24:53 AM Arsenal will face Tottenham in the following match, and this will be a tight battle as that is how the Derby is supposed to be, and a draw seems the most likely outcome. If draw become the final results of this match, I think that can be a big loss for Arsenal.

Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 12 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: ILuckyGuyI on November 17, 2025, 06:15:24 PM I don't expect any point loss by Arsenal in the London derby. It's at Emirates above all else. Do you know how dominant they are vs Tottenham there? They haven't lost to Tottenham home in the PL since 2010! ;D
And now Arteta's club is having a dream season. But the bad news is that Gabriel also got injured during international duty. Injuries have been a huge headache for Arteta until now. But still I think he'll find a way to win this game. The current injury list for Arsenal: Quote Havertz - knee Madueke - knee Odegaard - knee Jesus - knee Martinelli - knock Gyökeres - muscle Gabriel - groin Jesus might not return before the new year. Gabriel is expected to be out for at least a few weeks. The rest is likely to return in even less than a week.

And the odds offered by the gambling agency @1.41 - @8.00 even though Arsenal players are injured the possibility of winning is still high because Arteta will find a winning solution even though the players are injured due to international matches.

It can surely happen only if Arsenal continue their winning consistency, and pray ... Coz if teams like Manchester City manage to get opportunity for that first position, they won't waste their chances.https://talkimg.com/images/2025/11/16/UPNWgH.jpeg This is technically a plain logic though. :P Let's take Arsenal as an example.

Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 12 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: Pulsar77 on November 18, 2025, 11:22:00 AM The injury list might get even longer for Arsenal. :P Timber took a knock during the Netherlands - Lithuania match. He still played after that though but his availability against Tottenham isn't certain for now.
Losing Gabriel and Timber both would be a nightmare for Arteta in his defense. A really tough schedule is ahead for Arsenal:
How many points do you expect them to collect from these fixtures? 2 London derbies in a row and one of the toughest matches in the CL are waiting for them. Title: Re: ⚽ Matchday 12 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026 Post by: masulum on November 18, 2025, 12:16:24 PM As far as Arsenal is concerned, they look a little weak, but Arsenal will not tolerate giving points to Manchester City. Too much players getting injured on Arsenal side, even they have good squad, but if their main players injured, they will face any match more harder than usual. Of course, Arteta will doing anything he have to get 3 points. But if Arsenal only getting 1 points, i think it acceptable for that match because losing a lot of players Arteta unable to give best formations for this derby.

This time they are doing it again. I won't be trusting them anymore. So many people are also giving the same reaction on their x. If you're also considering the player injury list as a factor to lift the trophy, you will see how Arsenal gets more players injured. They will miss Gabriel and Timber due to the serious injuries. That can also explain why Opta's prediction is not even accurate. |
