Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Palakka]

It's been the 6th time Man City has suffered consecutive defeats and the last one against Liverpool I think this is Pep's worst result in his life he has never experienced consecutive bad results, will Man City's glory days in the EPL end this season? Liverpool looks very strong in the EPL and it seems that compared to Arsenal Liverpool's performance is more convincing to win the PL title this season.

Manchester City's glory has not ended this season in the Premier League even though Manchester City's position itself is already in fourth place in the Premier League standings. However, for glory, I think there is still a team like Manchester City even though in fact Liverpool is much stronger this season in the Premier League. And for this season I think Liverpool does have a chance to win the Premier League, but for Manchester City itself I don't think it will get out of the top four in the standings.

When Manchester City is in the top 4 at the moment, we actually consider thier it to be in a slump because indeed we usually see them at the top of the standings all this time , so that they are underestimated  able return to the top of the standings later, even though actually with the remaining season still very long of course, everything can happen without us expecting it, I agree that Liverpool has a great chance to win the Premier League this season,  but with the long league journey is possible for every team in the top 4 still have a chance to be champions, because after all there is no guarantee that Liverpool will not slip in their remaining matches until the end of the season.

The race for a second position will be among three clubs, not only two, and in my opinion these clubs are Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea. They are most promissing clubs to finish this season in top four, and only one of them can end this season beyond top four but I see it's very unlikely to happen. Manchester City and Arsenal can secure their positions in top four and Chelsea have good improvement in this season, and I really don't believe other clubs can beat Chelsea in this race to top four.

For the second position, it's too early and many things can change so I think it's very soon for a prediction on this position.

Yes, that's true, but for now Arsenal and Chelsea are the closest competitors who might try to maintain second place because Man City themselves only found their best form in the match against Nottingham Forest and now there is only a two-point gap with Arsenal and Chelsea. Of course they will be competitors for second or third place in the standings, but we need to see how Man City do in the next few games after having problems with consistency.

Even for the first position, it is still possible to change where when Liverpool does not perform consistently, it will make the distance with the challengers below it closer, as happened to Arsenal when Man City managed to catch up with their points in the previous season. The league is still quite long and maybe we will see the standings change over time.

Leicester sold some of their key players, like Maddison and Tillemans, but there is also Vardy, Jordan Ayew who started scoring, there is a good Buonanotte and Reid, so Leicester have someone to play with and the next game with Brighton is on December 8.
The opponent is good, but not the strongest, so Leicester can cope with it.

They had no better choices after falling to Championship because star players don't want to player in Championship, and the club can not pay them too high salary when they have to play in Championship with less income for the club than playing in Premier League. Jamie Vardy is a loyal player and he stays with them but Maddison and Tillemans don't want to do the same.

Leicester City made big impression by ranking up to Premier League only one season in Championship, it's their big success. It's logic that they have to struggle to fight for their survival in Premier League this season when they no longer have many star players now.

When Manchester City is in the top 4 at the moment, we actually consider thier it to be in a slump because indeed we usually see them at the top of the standings all this time , so that they are underestimated  able return to the top of the standings later, even though actually with the remaining season still very long of course, everything can happen without us expecting it

Top four for now and in future, if possible, Manchester City will try to join the title race again. Now, it's a little bit far target and they have to aim at the second position, taking it over from Chelsea and Arsenal first. Liverpool are far for now, and Manchester City only can chase Liverpool if they have very good performances in coming months and Liverpool suddenly have terrible form.

I have a different opinion to it. The first place race is still between Liverpool and Manchester City. One of them would be first while another second. 3rd and 4th place race would be between Arsenal and Chelsea. They'll occupy those position while the 5th place would probably be taken by Aston Villa. As Brighton, Fulham and Nottm forest fail to maintain their performance.
Liverpool and Manchester City's game are a level better than Arsenal and Chelsea, it's just bad luck that's keeping Manchester City down.

Liverpool are far for now, and Manchester City only can chase Liverpool if they have very good performances in coming months and Liverpool suddenly have terrible form.

It looks like there will be some exciting competition this season. I thought Liverpool would get an easy way out, but after they were held to a draw by Newcastle, it made me think that Liverpool is not an untouchable team. The 7 point gap is indeed quite wide but, if Liverpool again fails to get full points then Chelsea and Arsenal will have the opportunity to get more closer. Meanwhile, I'm still a little doubtful about Man City, even though they just got a long-awaited win but that is not yet proof that they will truly rise.

Bournemouth did show a comparison with full hard work in the match against Tottenham. I expected Tottenham to win, but they failed this time. Even with the possession of the ball that was done, they could not get the victory.
On the other hand, Bournemouth who did not hold the ball much always made every attack effective with the final finish. Even though many shots were off-target, they did it well.
Bournemouth showed that they can compete. After Arsenal and Man City, now Tottenham must feel defeat from them. Next maybe United.

I didn't have much faith in Bournemouth but they played very well and didn't give Tottenham any chances. Huijsen scored a header from a corner and that was enough for Bournemouth to get 3 points. Huijsen's chillguy celebration after the goal was worth seeing. I think he became Bournemouth's youngest goalscorer. The 2005 born Dutch player was bought from Juventus for 15 million Euro at the beginning of the season. He scored in his third game in the starting 11. It's clear why Bournemouth signed him until 2030. He has great potential.

I think Chelsea are also fighting for the title this season.I think people don’t rate Chelsea as title contenders because they are looking at Chelsea form in previous seasons and forming their opinions based on that. I think they have what it takes to keep up the momentum for the title chase. Enzo Maresca has greatly transformed Chelsea, I love the attacking brilliance of Enzo Maresca. Chelsea have proved to me that they have what it takes to be considered title contenders this season.

I disagree about this as Chelsea is fighting for the title because currently their best chance is keeping themselves in top four which could be help them for having good chance in next season with experience and confidence which is more important for this young quality and skilled squad which established by Pochettino things are pretty interesting because we have Arsenal with 28 points and Manchester City with 26 points fighting hard for staying into top fours.

Enzo Maresca is surely doing impressive job and here as things are going we can expect them to be had fair chance for staying into top ranks for long time because their young squad is having good depth to keep things difficult for the rest of top contenders for the top spots in Premier League.

From my own point of view is that Chelsea wanted to maintain their winning consistency just in case Liverpool flop and Arsenal in their usual characteristic manner fail to capitalize on Liverpool flop then Chelsea can challenge for the title so I can say they are also a title contenders now that Man City is out of form, premier is very tough leading with seven points with many tougher matches to be played is not guarantee to win the league for Liverpool and the moment Chelsea is gradually progressing in term of their performance thanks to Enzo Maresca who had been rotating his squad as well getting good results week in week out.

It's been the 6th time Man City has suffered consecutive defeats and the last one against Liverpool I think this is Pep's worst result in his life he has never experienced consecutive bad results, will Man City's glory days in the EPL end this season? Liverpool looks very strong in the EPL and it seems that compared to Arsenal Liverpool's performance is more convincing to win the PL title this season.

Since I've known Guardiola as a top team manager, this is the first time I've seen him struggle in 7 straight games. Liverpool's performance in the Premier League is much better than Manchester City's. Manchester City lost against Liverpool by two goals but failed to score a single goal. I'm not sure whether Manchester City will recover from their worst performance of the season because their players aren't promising at this moment and aren't as strong as they were last season. Manchester City is unable to stop an opponent from scoring a goal, even with Dias returning to strengthen their defense.

However, Manchester City's last game wasn't against Liverpool; they played against Nottingham Forest, and after suffering in seven consecutive games, Guardiola's team managed to score three goals to secure three points. But Manchester City's last defeat also was against Liverpool. Arne Slot won his first Premier League game against Guardiola after Liverpool had lost 2 and draw 2 of their previous four matches against Manchester City.

I agree with you that Chelsea are currently waiting for the moment when the club above them slips repeatedly, and when that happens they will take advantage of it to be able to shift them in the standings.
Honestly I am also surprised by the development that Chelsea can show, because last season they were still bad and I didn't think they would recover this quickly, yes even though this is just the beginning and they could lose consistency, but still what they have shown at least until now is something very good. they can compete again at the top of the standings which they have not done in the last few seasons.

When Manchester City is in the top 4 at the moment, we actually consider thier it to be in a slump because indeed we usually see them at the top of the standings all this time , so that they are underestimated  able return to the top of the standings later, even though actually with the remaining season still very long of course, everything can happen without us expecting it, I agree that Liverpool has a great chance to win the Premier League this season,  but with the long league journey is possible for every team in the top 4 still have a chance to be champions, because after all there is no guarantee that Liverpool will not slip in their remaining matches until the end of the season.

As long as Liverpool are able to maintain their good performance and avoid mistakes in each match that could cause them to lose points, then Liverpool certainly has a big chance of winning. But the problem is, there is no guarantee about that because after all those who compete are really fighting for points. Liverpool have lost 2 points in the previous match against Newcastle, so it is not impossible for them to lose points again in the next match.

You're right, the season is still very long and things can still change. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City currently seem to be underestimated because of the large points gap compared to the top of the standings, but it is always possible to change the position of the standings as long as the season is long. There are at least 24 more matches until the end of the season, the situation for each team can still change.

My decision not to bet on this match was the right one, because if I had bet on it, I probably would have chosen Tottenham or over 2.5 goals. But yes, I was lucky to avoid Tottenham's trend which is basically very unstable, in fact Tottenham to get very good results in a few consecutive games. But after that, Tottenham can also be very bad for a few other matches and also, at the same time I also remember that Bournemouth is not at all to be underestimated because sometimes Bournemouth also manages to beat or draw the favorite team. And sure enough, in this home game Bournemouth had a good performance and with such good statistics, it was worthy for Bournemouth to get three points at home and also Bournemouth managed to overtake Tottenham in the standings.

Goal from Huijsen became the sole goals of this match and the decisive winner of Bournemouth, I thought Bournemouth would previously lose in this match because Tottenham before playing was aggressive enough so I could blame Man City in the previous match with 4-0 and I thought The Spurs had returned To be stronger, but not like that they declined again and even very difficult to score a goal against Bournemouth in this match.

Huijsen is a talented player at the age of less than 20 years and naturally it becomes an asset for Bournemouth for the long term, if he can develop very well, it will be a lantern for Bournemouth in the English Premier League.

Just recently, when Maresca came to Chelsea, he said that he had too little time to change this team, and to achieve great results they will need more time, but apparently the team is progressing much faster than he thought. Now Chelsea have the best attack in the Premier League, but between them and Liverpool 7 points is a lot and this is only a third of the season, and Arsenal and City will not let them go so easily.

There is no doubt that Bournemouth performed very well against Tottenham. Bournemouth's players were able to perform excellently in this match. And I would say that Bournemouth deserves 3 points in this match. Compared to Tottenham, Bournemouth's overall gameplay was very organized and strong. Bournemouth's players were able to attack a lot from the beginning of the match. And Bournemouth was able to score a goal in just 17 minutes. Even after scoring, Bournemouth did not play defensively. If Tottenham's defenders could not play well, Tottenham would have conceded several goals in this match.

Bournemouth is far behind in the points table. However, this team is able to play great in home matches. Bournemouth has also defeated big teams like Arsenal and Manchester City at home. If Bournemouth could have played well in away matches as well, then Bournemouth could have undoubtedly made it to the top 6 of the points table. Bournemouth is currently in ninth place in the points table.

I also didn't think that Chelsea would improve this drastically and maybe it's not just me. Nicholas Jackson, who was not very visible last season, has now become a goal scoring machine, as well as Cole Palmer, who looks increasingly mature and more stable. If they only target the top 4, it is very likely that they can achieve it. If it's the Premier League champions, it seems the chances are still quite tough because Liverpool is so strong this season and it still remains to be seen how long Chelsea can be consistent.

It's not an easy match for Manchester United to play against one of strongest clubs in Premier League in last three seasons. Arsenal have shown their quality and competitiveness in latest seasons and Manchester United are simply under quality compares to Arsenal. Ruben Amorim only came to this club recent weeks, and it's not his responsibility why Manchester United lost this match. He needs time to work with players and build up a stronger squad for the club, and it will come to time when they can fairly compete against Arsenal and beat this opponent.

You are right. Manchester United is far behind Arsenal. Arsenal have been fighting for the Premier League title for the last three seasons. Although they were unable to win the title, Arsenal continued to fight for the title with Manchester City until the end of the season. It was very difficult for Manchester United to get points against such a team. And naturally Manchester United lost. However, Amorim may have tried to draw the match by playing defensively. But then Manchester United lost 2-0. We could have predicted that Manchester United would lose to Arsenal. Arsenal is a very organized and strong team compared to Manchester United.

~

He is very talented by leading Sporting Lisbon to a domestic league title, and in Champions League with a big win against Manchester City. Any coach needs time in a new club and Ruben Amorim needs it too. Bond among their players is weak, not good and Ruben needs to work very hard with his players to strengthen player bond and better connection on field.

Amorim was the coach of Sporting for a long time. And with Amorim's help, Sporting has dominated Liga Portugal in the last few seasons. We have seen Sporting perform excellently in the last few seasons. Sporting also won the Champions League match against Manchester City by a large margin this season.

Amorim has already proven his ability. If given enough time and opportunities, Amorim could be able to improve Manchester United's overall situation.

Now Chelsea have the best attack in the Premier League, but between them and Liverpool 7 points is a lot and this is only a third of the season, and Arsenal and City will not let them go so easily.

Now the title challengers have increased since the arrival of Maresca Chelsea has changed rapidly, not many people expected that after previously doubting, Chelsea is now able to be in 2nd position in the standings. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City must be vigilant. Chelsea is just waiting for the moment Liverpool slips and continues to maintain its consistency until the time comes when Chelsea can take the top position.

[Rockstarguy]

I have a different opinion to it. The first place race is still between Liverpool and Manchester City. One of them would be first while another second. 3rd and 4th place race would be between Arsenal and Chelsea. They'll occupy those position while the 5th place would probably be taken by Aston Villa. As Brighton, Fulham and Nottm forest fail to maintain their performance.
Liverpool and Manchester City's game are a level better than Arsenal and Chelsea, it's just bad luck that's keeping Manchester City down.

With the current performance of Manchester City you think they will end up in a better position than arsenal? Well anything can happen and time will speak. Manchester City are struggling in their performance this season, and we can see that from the game they have played recently. It is possible for arsenal to lose in a game but very difficult for loses to happen in roll for arsenal just like what is happening to Manchester City. For me I think the premier league title is between arsenal and Liverpool,  just from there performance so far in this season.

Liverpool profited from Chelsea and other teams failure to collect all points available, that's why they are now in the first place although missing 7 points in total until now.
Chelsea improved a lot after the catastrophic seasons they had in the last couple years and they are threatening Manchester City and Liverpool for the title. I didn't say Arsenal because they aren't that consistent even though they are progressing positively these years. The problem is the negative progression of Manchester City and the inability of Guardiola to reverse this.

[Stablexcoin]

Chelsea have proved to me that they have what it takes to be considered title contenders this season.

It will be wrong to rate Chelsea as a title contender because the league is still far and we only know that they are not truly consistent. The team is better but they are not there yet for the title race. Once Chelsea is clearly in the title race it will be obvious for all to see. Currently, the only teams that are title contenders are Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. With the inconsistency of Manchester City right now Chelsea has a chance to compete for the title coming next year.

Manchester City is going through its worst season. Haaland wants to leave the club for Liverpool. Foden is busy getting girls pregnant and he smokes a lot. Pep Guradiola keeps complaining how everyone in the team were offered weed before entering the peach.
