Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[tusandii]

You are talking about a club that defeated Liverpool at Anfield right? Nottingham Forest is one team that have taught me never to underestimate a small team especially when they are fighting for relevance. I can confidently tell you that Chelsea played the best they could to win just that Nottingham Forest have become a very difficult team to defeat especially when they play at away. Despite that Chelsea have improved so much, their inability to win Nottingham Forest should just be seen that they played a difficult side and not because they failed as a team.

Clubs that are considered weak sometimes do not always appear like that sometimes there are still surprises that will happen I often see things like this happen in football matches so even though we have seen clubs that are very favored to win matches against clubs that are considered weak, the opposite happens like what happened to Liverpool and Chelsea, honestly Nothingham Forest is a club that is quite difficult to predict they appear impressive when playing against strong clubs but appear weak when playing against ordinary clubs.

But the match is it has passed and this weekend there is a match that is quite interesting, namely the Chelsea vs Liverpool match, they look equally strong and it looks like it will be a match that is quite difficult to predict, below are the odds for the match, Liverpool is still the favorite by bookies.

[HajiBagi]

The Liverpool team is in a very strong position at the moment. Liverpool has managed to keep the top spot in the table. We have seen Liverpool perform well in almost every match except the match against Nottingham Forest. Chelsea team is currently fourth in the table but this team's performance is somewhat erratic. Chelsea are not in a strong position like Liverpool. Especially because the defense is a bit weak, Chelsea is lagging behind. And I think Liverpool coach Arne Slot will take advantage of Chelsea's defensive weaknesses. If Liverpool's attacking players play a bit better, they will be able to break down Chelsea's defence.

Chelsea is also no less good this season even though they have not looked so consistent and for this match Chelsea will definitely do everything they can to get points even if it has to end in a draw. Liverpool is indeed quite favored to win the match but I also see Chelsea has the same chance of winning.

It takes the role of both coaches when playing a big match and maybe we can see who will be able to take advantage of the conditions. Arne Slot is considered to be the coach who has the best ability for Liverpool and maybe that's why people favor them in this match.

Chelsea has been having a good season from the beginning of the league but they haven't faced any big teams to see if they can keep their good performance to the end of the season, the only strong and top teams Chelsea have faced this season are Manchester City and Manchester City defeat them, Chelsea playing against Liverpool will show us if Chelsea is in good condition this season and they are going to have a good season till the end of the season, the beginning of the season is not the main thing, the main thing is to have a good position at the end of the season or win the league title.

Although the match is going to be tough because Liverpool is currently at the top of the league table and Liverpool will want to remain at the top to win the league title this season, Chelsea will also want to perform well to keep their good performance, some people will say Liverpool will defeat Chelsea and that is not a bad idea but for me, I can't predict the game because Chelsea can also do better in the match if Chelsea plays well like the way they are playing from the beginning of the league season.

Manchester United vs Brentford

This time Manchester United has a chance to win over Brentford, but I am not 100% sure about the three points that Manchester United will get considering Brentford is a team that is difficult to beat in the class of Manchester United now - not Manchester United in the past.

A draw might be the scenario that will happen.

Newcastle vs Brighton

My choice is Newcastle United who will get three points.

Liverpool vs Chelsea

A draw is my prediction even though Liverpool has a good appearance this season, but Chelsea's performance is also not bad.

[Stable090]

Liverpool will look for a gap to be able to win at home in the match because Liverpool also has the determination to maintain its position at the top of the standings even though Chelsea will play as well as possible in order to get full points at Liverpool's home later.

Liverpool are currently in first position, and they won’t want to drop from the first position, they will want to win all the matches that they will be playing currently, but Chelsea's performances have been incredibly good, and they will also want to maintain their current fourth position. Chelsea won’t want to leave the Champions League zone either, and any lose or draw will make Chelsea drop from their current fourth position. All what Chelsea are fighting for this season is for them to qualify for the Champions League, their performance is good this season, and they should be able to achieve that.

I still believe that Liverpool will not give Chelsea any space in that match.

The match is just going to be kind of difficult to predict, it’s going to be an interesting match, but I won’t be surprised if the match ends in a draw because they both want to win the match.

Manchester United management once said that they wanted to give Eric Ten Hag a chance well maybe they want to see their performance until the end of this season and will make a decision next season, so actually seeing the current performance Erik Ten Hag is likely to be replaced unless he can provide an increase before the season ends.

Who wants to replace Erik Ten Hag? The only manager on the list was Thomas Tuchel but he went straight for international duty, accepting the appointment to become England headcoach and good replacement for Gareth Southgate, I know this to be bad news towards the ears of Manchester United fans. It's generally flopping season for the Red Devils, you believe that? For me, it's YES because they're weigh below the expectations and their hypes is gradually coming to an end. Manchester United performance is lowered to the estimated point of humiliation, the board should take actions towards the current condition of the club, because the vast numbers of supporters are not happy, they're laying down their complaints on every match.

Who's talking about replacement here? Manchester United headcoach, Erik Ten Hag have exerted more actions to explore the team, but all his efforts seems to be failing, he just have to stick to another promising options and gaining more time, time is definitely not on his side. Manchester United owners, the Glazers family are just sticking to just this man, I do wonder what they're doing because the calender season is moving faster than anyone could catch with his blinking eyes.

There are a lot of professional coaches around the World that Manchester can shop for the replacement of Erik Ten Hag, for Tuchel's move to England as their national team coach shouldn't be a set back.
But from the angle I am looking at, it seems the Manchester United Board are not yet interested in replacing Ten Hag, all the complains seems to be falling on deaf ears, as they are keen to manage a bad situation.

Fans and football analyst should just accept the reality that Manchester United is kindly interested in remaining a mediocre team, always looking at them as that team that would want to bounce back to the top four, is a reality we should stop imagining, because it's looking like the business of wanting to be among the first five and play in the champions League competition is no longer a priority to the managerial Board.

They're having a good attacking line, as good as Liverpool, but they have no strong defensive line. This can bury them. This is because their defense looks weak compared to Liverpool.

Their only solution is to implement more backs. They must stop playing with the high defensive line. This can be a blunder for them, considering their opponent rarely concedes goals.

Wow, first time hearing that Chelsea have a good attacking line. Did anything changed about Chelsea's attack that I am not yet aware? Or is it the same attack lead by Jackson you're talking about? Whatever the case may be, Chelsea present attack can not be compared with that of Liverpool in any aspect. Defensively, Chelsea is very poor and I don't think they can resist Liverpool attack. Likewise,  their attack is very average and passing through Liverpool defense will be a nightmare for them. Of course, this can not determine the outcome of the match but I am giving Liverpool advantage over Chelsea.

[MainIbem]

Chelsea is also no less good this season even though they have not looked so consistent and for this match Chelsea will definitely do everything they can to get points even if it has to end in a draw. Liverpool is indeed quite favored to win the match but I also see Chelsea has the same chance of winning.

Although the match is going to be tough because Liverpool is currently at the top of the league table and Liverpool will want to remain at the top to win the league title this season, Chelsea will also want to perform well to keep their good performance, some people will say Liverpool will defeat Chelsea and that is not a bad idea but for me, I can't predict the game because Chelsea can also do better in the match if Chelsea plays well like the way they are playing from the beginning of the league season.

One thing i like about Chelsea FC is that they always put in their best when they play against top EPL clubs and even though they lose they make winning difficult for their opponents. Since the arrival of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea have been in a very good form and have caused their critics to go dumb, lots of people felt Enzo Maresca would find it tough to handle the team but he's not only managed them properly but transformed them into one of the best performing team in the EPL this season, players like Cole Palmer, Sancho and Madueke are the center of attraction in Chelsea squad currently and they'll play a major role for Chelsea to perform better and win or draw Liverpool but it won't be an easy one. However Chelsea have, very tough fixtures ahead of them afte Liverpool they'll face Newcastle then Manchester United, Then Arsenal, it's very impossible for them to win all 4 matches but they can manage to draw against Arsenal and Newcastle then win Manchester United as for their next match, Liverpool are more favourites to win but Chelsea could try steal a point.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS CRYSTAL PALACE

Nottingham Forest will be welcoming Crystal palace in their home at the City ground Stadium on Monday and considering the record of Crystal palace not winning any game yet after 7 premier league games which has kept them at 18th position in the league table, i now begin to think if they can be able to break their dead luck when the face Nottingham Forest who is standing at the mid table now but with the kind of energy Forest displayed in their last premier league match against Chelsea, i doubt if a struggling Crystal Palace can be able to win Nottingham Forest. Crystal Palace was able to finish 10th position in the league table last season but this season has been very tough for them as their performance so far is very bad and it could lead to sack of their head coach Oliver Glasner who replaced Roy Hodgson as the club's manager in February last season if the club persist to underperform. Though Palace has been faced with lots of injuries this season as they currently have about 7 injury reports.

[Solokan]

There are three upcoming match that interesting, which are:

Manchester United vs Brentford
Newcastle vs Brighton
Liverpool vs Chelsea

I think the underdog are stronger than the favorite teams, Brentford and Chelsea looks better even they will play away. For Newcastle vs Brighton, I would go for draw since both of them are equal and Newcastle is unbeaten in 15 home games, that's a good achievement.

Brentford's strength certainly cannot be considered easy and of course it is possible that in the match between Brentford vs Manchester United, Brentford will win that match. However, it looks like my prediction is different from yours regarding the Manchester United match against Brentford. because in my opinion, in the Brentford match against Manchester United, I believe Manchester United will have great potential to win because I saw Aston Villa's last match against Manchester United with a 0-0 draw and in my opinion, even though the result was a draw, I saw an increase in Manchester United's performance. Meanwhile, if you look at Brentford's last match against Wolves, even though Brentford won with a score of 5-3, of course Wolves are not a strong team, the proof is that Wolves are now at the bottom of the standings.

Even though Chelsea is currently performing well, I'm sure Chelsea won't be able to beat Liverpool in the next match because I think Liverpool's performance is better than Chelsea's and in that match it looks like I want to bet on Liverpool winning.

Yes, for the Brighton versus Newcastle match, it seems like I have the same opinion and I also predict that the match will end in a draw because the strengths are not much different.

Nottingham Forest are the favourites to go into this match as they're also playing at home, things are made worse for Crystal Palace as they have many of their key players doubtful for their trip to the City Ground. I personally wouldn't be surprised if Crystal Palace end up losing even by a big score, they have all the disadvantages now. BTW, are there any interesting matches in PL this week?

Though Palace has been faced with lots of injuries this season as they currently have about 7 injury reports.

I know on from the recent performance Nottingham Forest is much better compared to Crystal Palace but don't mean they can easily beat Crystal Palace moreover i think from squad quality both teams are equally strong but Crystal Palace is under pressure because they have to gets the winning result from this match because if Crystal Palace draw or even lost they will be hard struggle to improve their position on League standing

Indeed i have to says Nottingham Forest has good start because they can occupy 10th place and only lost once during this season and Nottingham Forest too seem has strong motivation while fight against big teams because this season they can able to beat Liverpool at Anfield and the latest is Nottingham Forest can stole point from Chelsea

This is home match for Nottingham Forest but i highly doubt they can being an the winner of this match because Nottingham Forest records is very different compared other teams in Premier league because for home matches Nottingham Forest has poor records and until week 7 they still unable to gets the winning results at their home so that's why for this match i think potentially will ended to draw or both teams to scores

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in a single match this season. This team's performance is poor and now the team is in the relegation zone. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest's performance this season is very good. Nottingham Forest have lost only one match out of 7 matches. More importantly, Nottingham Forest have managed to beat a team as strong as Liverpool this season.

Nottingham Forest's players do not have the ability to score many goals. This team scored 7 goals in 7 matches. However, against Crystal Palace, we consider Nottingham to be the favourite. But if the attacking players don't play well then Nottingham Forest won't win.

[punk.zink]

Liverpool will look for a gap to be able to win at home in the match because Liverpool also has the determination to maintain its position at the top of the standings even though Chelsea will play as well as possible in order to get full points at Liverpool's home later.

Liverpool are currently in first position, and they won’t want to drop from the first position, they will want to win all the matches that they will be playing currently, but Chelsea's performances have been incredibly good, and they will also want to maintain their current fourth position. Chelsea won’t want to leave the Champions League zone either, and any lose or draw will make Chelsea drop from their current fourth position. All what Chelsea are fighting for this season is for them to qualify for the Champions League, their performance is good this season, and they should be able to achieve that.

I still believe that Liverpool will not give Chelsea any space in that match.

The match is just going to be kind of difficult to predict, it’s going to be an interesting match, but I won’t be surprised if the match ends in a draw because they both want to win the match.

Liverpool failed in the title race last season as the season drew to a close. When they had a good chance to get 3 points, but it turned out they lost to Crystal Palace and Everton. I think Liverpool definitely doesn't want to repeat that mistake. So whoever their opponents are, if it's a match at Anfield then Liverpool really have to chase the win. It is for this reason that I think Liverpool will win against Chelsea. Apart from that, Liverpool also has a very solid defense line.

The home/away doesn't really affect Nottingham Forrest, they're more into luck.

From the last five match, all of home match were end in draw, played awaythey won against Liverpool in away, but they lose against Fulham in away. Since this match will held in their home, I guess it will in end in draw again.

I think Chelsea vs Liverpool is the most interesting match this week, both are equal.

[$crypto$]

The home/away doesn't really affect Nottingham Forrest, they're more into luck.

You can say that they rely on luck but there is a little luck that Forest are playing at home while Crystal Palace have so far not been able to win they are much worse than Forest.

I think Chelsea vs Liverpool is the most interesting match this week, both are equal.

Yes this is an interesting match, Chelsea are not bad what to think they are much better but Liverpool are above it, because this is playing at Anfield I feel this match will not end in a draw but with a Liverpool victory in my own assumption. Anything can happen with a draw.

[Dailyscript]

Liverpool being in that position was because they hadn't faced a stronger opponent. I repeat, they have been lucky to have played some weak opponent during the first 5 games in the start of the EPL. Now they are bound to play against Chelsea and i am confident enough to say its not gonna be easy with them. Am expecting a draw game. I cant hope that any of them would win the game effortlessly.

Of course, it's going to be interesting to watch. Chelsea has picked up with good performance in their last 4 to 5 months. They've maintained consistency and that is an assurance to their fans to be expecting positive results on Sunday.

Both Liverpool and Chelsea are in good form. Specifically, Chelsea is currently ranked 4th and is only 4 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table. The Blues are in good form with a 10-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. And it's not just Liverpool who have a very solid defense. Chelsea have also had a pretty solid defense this season under Enzo Maresca.
Coach Arne Slot has had a near-perfect start on Merseyside and his and his players' target is certainly 3 points. But their ability to beat Chelsea will be tested as Liverpool will be without one of their key players, goalkeeper Alisson Becker. Home ground is probably the support for Liverpool to be more confident.

I don't think Chelsea will win against Liverpool. But the match is not less likely to be a draw if the Chelsea players are able to perform well. Liverpool have a number of talented players in attack. However, Liverpool's players are not able to score many goals. Liverpool players have managed to score only 13 goals in 7 matches. On the other hand, Chelsea players managed to score 16 goals. However, Liverpool have one of the best defenses in the Premier League this season. Liverpool conceded only 2 goals in 7 matches. Chelsea will have to be tactical if they want to pick up points against Liverpool.

Though Palace has been faced with lots of injuries this season as they currently have about 7 injury reports.

Crystal Palace didn't have a good record against Nottingham Forest, even though they were in better shape, while they are not in good form this season, after losing all seven Premier League games. The bettors offer Nottingham Forest with odds of 2.39, while Crystal Palace has odds of 3.18. Based on the bookies, it seems like Nottingham Forest will struggle to win the match. Perhaps we should not underestimate Crystal Palace since they have yet to win a game this season, and the match might end in a draw.

However, Oliver Glasner is not to blame for the poor performance, and I don't see why the management would fire him and hire a new manager. When he took over as manager of Crystal Palace, the team won most of their games, including an away victory over Liverpool. Crystal Palace's poor season, in my opinion, was caused by a lot of injured players, and also the lack of attackers like Olise, who contributed to the squad last season.

Nottingham managed to get points against very tough opponents, look at them not losing to opponents like Chelsea, Brighton and Liverpool, that's a good achievement. And I think they achieved that thanks to a good game in defense, especially against such strong attacks as Liverpool and Chelsea. Crystal Palace have a weak attack, as soon as they fix it their results will improve, they are not a weak team and I think they can still fix such a bad start, but in the upcoming match I think Nottingham will not lose.
