Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Abbatty]

Arsenal face Fulham in the same week, making it a little easier to get three points.

Fulham have not started this season well and their last two games before the international break ended in a 3-1 loss for the Cottagers. Arsenal also boast a very impressive head to head record against Fulham, so on paper it should be a routine win for Arsenal.

That said, the only glimmer of hope for Fulham fans is that they play this game at Craven Cottage, and they know how to grind out results at home. That's not to say i expect them to beat Arsenal, but if they play at a high level they can come away with a draw, which will be a great result for them.

For sure Arsenal are favorites to win this game but since it a derby I expect it to be a competitive game and it will be very difficult for the gunners if Fulham should get on the score sheet first. Fulham have ups and downs concerning their foam but they are this side that can cause damage to any team.

Since it will be another away game for Arsenal they need to approach this game with a very high intensity, and do everything not to concede first. Well arsenal defense have been very good this season, let see if they can continue their good foam in this game.

Liverpool will be hosting the Red Devils on Sunday and on that very day both teams will make sure to be on their best form and every player need to come out strong, we all know how poor the both teams have been since the kick off of this season. Manchester United need to get a win to keep their hopes alive in getting close to the top 4, I believe they can get to that position as in the top 4 or 5 before the end of 2025, that depends on if they can keep on winning games. For the two teams, Liverpool have Salah as their best player while Man UTD have Bruno as their best player, which team will do better without their best player on Sunday, Liverpool or Man UTD?

Wait! as far as I know, Salah is fine, and it's highly likely that Arne will field him in this big match. Meanwhile, I've heard that Bruno is having a minor issue. He reportedly wasn't seen in Manchester United training session, but I'm sure Amorim will still field Bruno.
My preference is still Liverpool. They have what it takes to win this match and are certainly looking to reclaim the ground Arsenal have lost.

This rule should be adopted by UEFA otherwise it will harm English Premier League teams and limit their chances to win European competitions in front of the other teams that don't have this limit.
I am with limiting salary expenditure because it is crazy right now and it is harming all clubs without exception especially the ones which cannot spend a lot. I am just worrying about the potential harm to EPL clubs if it won't be expanded to other leagues.

Agreed. The salary cap rules will obviously decrease EPL's competitiveness in european caused by they will be losing their power in attracting the good players. However, we can't deny it makes league becomes even more competitive. Nevertheless, this rules will be so good only if it's being applied to the all of leagues, not only EPL.

The idea is cool if it will be applied to all European leagues and not EPL only. I know that some clubs are very rich and they use their funds to buy whichever players they need to come over, and that's why the league has been very attractive to players all over the world. If there's a salary cap, don't you think it will attract a lot of players who are after fat pay to SPL.

That's why i fully agreed before. A salary cap will be successfully working only when it is implemented globally by UEFA. Otherwise the league with no such restriction will be ruining other league by offering huge wages.

The rules sounds good, but feel inaffective when it's only happening for a domestic league. I hope someday we will see this kind of rules to be implemented by not only a league, but a continent.

I think this match will be a tricky one for Arsenal,  because they are playing at home, but I still believe that Arsenal will win this game and they just have too win it, if they are really serious about winning the premier league at the end of the season.
I think they will.be motivates to win this game, since they know they will be going 4 points clear at the top. Arsenal is also in a very good format right now and they have no new injuries after the international break, so they have most of their best players available.  Like I said the game will.be a little tricky, but I will still bet on Arsenal to win the match.

Arsenal should not even underestimate fulham they have to play all seriousness and since fulham is playing home they will think they have a better chance than Arsenal but i see how Arsenal is trying to be committed so am trusting my boys to win this game, so it's clear that arsenal have the intention of winning the Premier League and this are opportunity to make there dream come through and am trusting my boys won't disappoint me in this game so am not scared at all am sure they will win. And I love how arsenal are taking responsibility for them self.

And even Manchester United and Liverpool are warming up, so this weekend is going to be fantastic. The games will be interesting because of Manchester United's current state, which makes people not trust them because they have lost all of their confidence, and Liverpool now has more leverage to win. And for betting I will recommend bet on Arsenal against Fulham and liverpool against Manchester United.

Salah will be in the squad for this match I am sure. Because Liverpool have lost the last two matches of the Premier League. Liverpool really need a win in this match. Opponent Manchester United is not weak either. Arne Slot should not be foolish enough to leave important players like Salah out of the squad in such a high voltage match. He will not take this risk. Liverpool will be in big trouble if they lose points in this match too. It will become more difficult for them to regain the top spot in the table. So Arne Slot will keep Salah, Gakpo, Mac Allister and Van Dijk in the starting XI in this match.

Yea both team are not in their right form but people will want pick Liverpool to be their favorite in this matches, reason being that we have seen how bad Manchester United performance have been for the past few years, they managed to win some matches this season, if you watch them, you will understand that they are still struggling, nothing has changed about ttheir performance, Liverpool poor performance started recently and many of us still believe that they will improve with time, to be sincere, I will bet Ov1.5 in this match because I can't give a clear prediction of this match because of both team form.

Sometimes each team best player has no impact in their game is just the influence, so any of the teams can do well without their perceived best player, what they need is just a good team work.

For sure, Salah will play but in a situation where he can't be seen in this very encounter I still feel Liverpool will not missing him at all in as much as he loves scoring against the Red Devils, judging by his form this season, Salah is not a threat to any team except he changes the way he plays maybe starting from this game against Man UTD. This particular game will be like the other games where Salah will be running without making any impact. For Bruno, I heard about him missing training, it could be something minor or let's say is part of Amorim's plan to make the Liverpool side feel comfortable since he's not going to be in action...for me it still doesn't matter who's playing or not, what I know is Salah can't perform more than how he displayed in their last game before going for the break.

The two teams are in very different situations, and Nottingham Forest's new manager has yet to find the best way to strengthen Nottingham Forest this season. Meanwhile, Chelsea, who have shown their best form since the start of the season, will clearly have a significant advantage when playing at Nottingham Forest's home ground this week. However, Chelsea must remain cautious against this team, as any openings the home team can exploit will make it difficult for them to win tomorrow's match.

I see Chelsea winning the match in this game as Nottingham Forest has not won any of their last five matches, with three losses and two draws. Since the change of their coach, they haven't been able to gain a solid ground with no wins and poor performance. And facing Chelsea, who have displayed not so bad a performance in their previous matches, winning the league giants with outstanding teamwork, that's definitely going to be another loss for them.

It's either Chelsea wins the match or at most a draw because Chelsea is a better side than the The Reds for a win in this match, judging by statistics and team coordination.

[Agbamoni]

A lot pundits have opted for a full-time draw results, some have said a double chance win for  Arsenal but I think the best possible outcome for this game should be both teams scoring and also a straight win for Arsenal. Did you see how Fulham United was dealt with right before the international break? I believe Arsenal could do that likewise, with Saka back scoring goals for club and country, this is just the perfect game to bite their London rivals. No atom of doubts, Arsenal should win this game by two goals. Winning games like this shows how serious they're to win the league.

I can easily predict the lineup for the game tomorrow. The win wont be easy for Arsenal because Fulham are great defenders when it comes to set pieces. Arsenal will only win if they score 2 to 3 goals with open play tomorrow. With Eze, Merino, Declan Rice and Zubimendi on the filed, I will give a straight win to Arsenal. Its going to be a midfield game, whichever team dominate it, gets the win. Simple.

Dont forget Fulham have a good history against Arsenal in the past 2 seasons. They are part of the team that stopped Arsenal from winning the title in 2023.

I think this match will be a tricky one for Arsenal,  because they are playing at home, but I still believe that Arsenal will win this game and they just have too win it, if they are really serious about winning the premier league at the end of the season.

Arsenal is also in a very good format right now and they have no new injuries after the international break, so they have most of their best players available.  Like I said the game will.be a little tricky, but I will still bet on Arsenal to win the match.

I looked at Fulham's home record and I'm probably going to hold off on betting on this match, as I see they haven't lost a single home game this season. Arsenal might win, as they're in excellent form and now that they're top of the table, they'll try to hang on for as long as possible, but I don't rule out the possibility of them dropping points at Craven Cottage. It's worth noting, however, that they haven't hosted strong teams at home yet this season, and this will be their first big test.

Actually Fullham have a very good home record so it might likely seems quite though for Arsenal, although Arsenal are performing pretty well with their winning streak. So I'm still seeing this game as a must win for them because I don't think Arsenal would drop points for now but the truth is that the game would be a very though one for both teams because Fullham must definitely fight to get a point in this game that is why we need to be careful with betting on them.

[Agbe]

Nice game coming up tomorrow in the premier League, one game that I will like to watch is Fulham playing host to arsenal,this game will be interesting to watch because both teams have been impressive so far this season. A win for arsenal will be ga great one as it will solidifies arsenal first place standing on the league table.arsenal can't avoid to drop points any further at this point of season if they intends to win the league soon. But Fulham will not like to lose this game because they are sitting in position that is not too great so getting a good result from this match will be helpful to their season.

Some financial rules are not bad, but I think the e3quality would come from income, not spending. If you can distribute the income accordingly, so that the bottom teams are not getting very tiny compared to big teams, then they could do better.

However, the difference is so staggering that the winner of Premier league doesn't even care about how much they won from that. I mean look at Liverpool, they won the title and then spent 400+ million in a single summer, you think they profited 400 million from title win? Of course not, not even close, it's more like what 50 million nowadays? Maybe a bit more? Certainly not 400 million which is what they spent. So make sure that everyone gets a fair share, and it would be a lot better for teams.

[Just Say]

The outcome of this match is easily predictable because Chelsea's case is superior to Nottingham Forest's because, at the very least, Chelsea has more victories than Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest can be challenging, but not in this instance. We should already be aware that they have little chance of winning against Chelsea given how awful this season has been; in their previous five games, they have lost three and drawn two, which is a very dreadful position. Since they are genuinely on the verge of relegation, it is impossible for them to defeat Chelsea.

However, Chelsea have enough strong players this season and they have good stars in their team, in that case they will play their best to collect three points. According to the betting odds, Chelsea will win, but the victory will be determined by the performance of the two teams facing each other and playing. This match is very important for Chelsea so they are ready to take a lot of risks, if they are able to collect three points, they will be able to move up the points table.

Chelsea will by no means automatically win, although the outcome of this match is very easy for us to predict. However Chelsea's attack has already suffered, as the team's manager had high hopes that Cole Palmer would be very tactical against Nottingham Forest but this player will not be able to experience the heat of the Premier League for another six weeks due to injury. Actually it seems now that the Medical staff at Chelsea are not magicians, Don't you think that the team's attacking depth could be reduced if this player is absent? Nottingham Forest are actually on the verge of relegation, but their comeback from this difficult situation is very promising.

Indeed, Chelsea's tactics and players have improved this season. Yes, occasionally the odds reveal the outcome since Nottingham needs to prove to themselves that they can defeat Chelsea. Chelsea will use them to gain three points because they are an inferior opponent. When it comes to leagues, that is a fantastic tactic because the competition is all about feeding off the lesser players in order to gain more points. There move up is up to them so they won't won't to lose not even because of a club like Nottingham Forest so to me a straight win for Chelsea.

At this stage it is true that sometimes odds reveal results but the Blues' attacking tactics have declined, only Cole palmar is absent due to an injury, but he is receiving all the necessary therapy. Still, the team may be a little uneasy about the upcoming Nottingham Forest match because Cole Palmar has also scored many equalizers for this team and he tried hard enough to tip the balance of the match completely in favor of Enzo Maresca's team.

[Bigjoe33]

so the game can go either way right now, which means Liverpool can win the game, and Manchester United can win the game, but I don’t think a draw would be good for any team.

Sure, the game can go either way, it's either Liverpool take all points or Manchester United does. That's football. Any game I go to watch, I go with this consciousness that any side can win, despite that one side may be stronger than the other, except for gambling where one has to select options in favour of a particular team, that's if you are siding a particular team. It's 11 players from each team, apart from the fact that one team is at home and had much fan base that tends to cheer the hole team, else, it's equal opportunity and time, so any team can actually win regardless of home advantage or what do we call it.

Talking about a draw not been good for any team, I think both teams want a win. As much as Liverpool want a win, Manchester United also wants it. The both teams are struggling to win matches, but for now, Manchester United has seen more green light in the last two weeks with winnings while Liverpool has lost consecutively. Notwithstanding, if the match eventually ends with a draw, I think it will be a bit more fair for Manchester United because at least, they are taking a point home instead of a loss. Remember, they came to Almighty Anfield. Smiles

Ange Postecoglou: “Give me time and it ends in the same way… ME AND A TROPHY” according to Fabrizio this was the statement of Nottingham Forest boss. We all know that things are not well with him and the management of the club and rumours has it that they are already lining up his replacement. But his come out to say the club should give him time. We all saw how he managed Tottenham last season, they were so bad in the league but were doing marvellously well in the Europa League and he eventually won the competition last season, from that his had a base point of argument and want his current team to retain him and at the end of the rough patches, he will still win a trophy at the end of the current campaign.

Nottingham Forest are actually on the verge of relegation, but their comeback from this difficult situation is very promising.

Keeping in view the current form of both Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, it's very easy to predict who will win tomorrows game. It's good opportunity for Chelsea to win tomorrows game and improve it's ranking on points table. But still Chelsea needs to be careful and must not take Nottingham forest in tomorrows game lightly because we have seen many times an underdog beating the strong team. Even a draw will be success for Nottingham forest but for Chelsea it's a game they must not lose.

Some financial rules are not bad, but I think the e3quality would come from income, not spending. If you can distribute the income accordingly, so that the bottom teams are not getting very tiny compared to big teams, then they could do better.

Of course not, not even close, it's more like what 50 million nowadays? Maybe a bit more? Certainly not 400 million which is what they spent. So make sure that everyone gets a fair share, and it would be a lot better for teams.

Even if revenue distribution in the Premier League were managed as fairly as possible, inequality would still exist due to sponsorships. Elite clubs are usually much more attractive to sponsors and can secure highly lucrative deals, allowing them to maintain their long term existence with ease. In addition, clubs that participate in more competitions will also generate far greater income.

Therefore, in my opinion, the quickest way to build a club with a star studded and deep squad is through ownership acquisition. Chelsea and Manchester City are perfect examples, both achieved massive success in short time. In the future, Newcastle might follow the same path. At first glance, this system may seem unfair, but it’s often that very inequality that creates the excitement and appeal of football.

[dezoel]

This rule should be adopted by UEFA otherwise it will harm English Premier League teams and limit their chances to win European competitions in front of the other teams that don't have this limit.
I am with limiting salary expenditure because it is crazy right now and it is harming all clubs without exception especially the ones which cannot spend a lot. I am just worrying about the potential harm to EPL clubs if it won't be expanded to other leagues.

To be fair if you limit the rich clubs of premier league only, and leave others the way they are, then we are not going to see premier league teams become winners at UCL anymore. Other teams will just spend like crazy without a care in the world. FFP is a thing by UEFA already, they are saying you have to be financially fair play, meaning you can't just throw in 10 billion dollars from some rich guy and get the best players on a single team.

This is why it makes sense to keep all teams, premier league or other leagues, either under FFP, or change it together. If premier league does something that is even more strict, then it is not going to be good for them, because only they will be forced to follow this rule.

[Keeping in view the current form of both Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, it's very easy to predict who will win tomorrows game. It's good opportunity for Chelsea to win tomorrows game and improve it's ranking on points table. But still Chelsea needs to be careful and must not take Nottingham forest in tomorrows game lightly because we have seen many times an underdog beating the strong team. Even a draw will be success for Nottingham forest but for Chelsea it's a game they must not lose.

Chelsea are the favorite to win in this game with Nottingham forest bad performance in their past matches. It's evident that nothing sides hasn't really had the best of the season but Chelsea is the bigger team and would not take the chances of losing any more matches as they happen to be in the 7th position in the Premier League table.

Expecting a draw in the match would be good for Nottingham forest like you mentioned and I think that's the best they could do because I don't see Chelsea losing the match.
