Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Alpha Marine]

If this was any other time from now then I think the case would have been a whole lot different but seeing that both teams especially Nottingham Forest is not doing well, it's fair on paper to say that Chelsea will win this game but looking  football is a game filled with lots of unpredictable results and it can even turn otherwise and before you know Nottingham Forest might just end up winning the game but Chelsea on their own are under pressure because of the bad results that they have been producing.

The only reason Chelsea has an edge in this game is that Nottingham Forest under Ange has been so horrible. They are unrecognisable compared to the Forest of last season. Chelsea are not in a shape to be called undisputed. They have shown inconsistencies and dropped points in games they should have won easily. Also, Chelsea will be without Cole Palmer and one or two starters in this game, so it might not be an easy one. Chelsea are favourites, and if I were to bet on the game, then my money would be on Chelsea, but it would be because of how bad Forest has been and not because of how good Chelsea is.

Insider reveals whether Ange Postecoglou could be sacked if Nottingham Forest lose to Chelsea

He should be sacked regardless of the result in my opinion. I said from the beginning that hiring him was the wrong move; I just wanted to be wrong. I don't know if he might turn out good if given the time, but I don't think that is a risk the club should be willing to take becasue they might see themselves in the Championship next season if they don't act fast.

With Nottingham Forest performance currently declining, Chelsea should not waste the opportunity to secure all three points, allowing them to return to the top four in the standings. Betting on a Chelsea win seems fairly safe, in line with the displayed odds. I think Ange Postecoglou needs a miracle to pull off an upset, his position as manager will be at stake in this match.
Meanwhile, regarding Chelsea chances of winning a trophy this season, their chances are frankly slim. They will need to work hard to close the growing points gap. Arsenal and Liverpool appear to be the strongest contenders this season, and perhaps by the second half of the campaign, Manchester City will be seriously involved in the title race.

Forest has had a rough season already and so they have had some serious set backs ans and Chelsea will likely not let this chances pass them by to get three points.  But the home advantage that forest has gotten is likely going to be their possible defence for them to avoid too many goals but then they will like concede some goals in this game and may loose  but they may draw too aswell.

It's uncertain whether Chelsea will easily win against Nottingham, but the home team can be more aggressive when facing a stronger opponent. If Chelsea do win this match, a narrow victory is possible, but if an upset occurs, a draw would be a bad result for Chelsea. Ange Postecoglou will try a new strategy, and I've heard rumors that the match against Chelsea is seen as a challenge to restore his reputation.

It goes without saying that this season is not going well for Nottingham Forest, they have won only 1 of their 7 matches so far. However, we must not forget that failure is the first step to success. Even Nottingham Forest will perform with their home advantage, which can make them even stronger. Chelsea's recent form is also a cause for concern, they are not going through a good time either. However, even though Chelsea are the favorites to win, I am backing Nottingham Forest, not in terms of betting!

Ange Postecoglou knows his job as the manager of Nottingham Forest is at stake at the moment so I expect him to bring out the best available tactical approach that'll help his team beat Chelsea while the London club who obviously wants to challenge for the English Premier League title this campaign also knows dropping points again might end their title hopes so I expect a very a keenly contested game.
Chelsea are without their talisman Cole Palmer which is a big advantage to Nottingham Forest but considering the quality of players still available for Enzo Maresca to select from, I see Chelsea getting an all three points in that encounter.

I will not underestimate Nottingham Forest, they have had a rough start to the season, but they still have the ability to give Chelsea a tough time in the game. The international break must have given the team enough time to glue together and get used to the new coach and his system. There will be goals for both teams and tha will be the safer option to bet on.

Hopefully maybe Chelsea will not get a red card in the game, because that has plagued them this season.

Nothing is certain especially the EPL always gives surprises but in this case the belief for 3 points for Chelsea actually becomes a fairness because we must be aware by looking at the current conditions for Nottingham they are still experiencing a transitional phase and returning the momentum that has been destroyed since the beginning of the season so it cannot be denied that there will definitely be a lot of confidence that Chelsea can get 3 points in this match.

What Chelsea need to do now if they really want 3 points back is to stay focused and not be too lulled just because the opponent is still below them.
Nottingham are currently still in a difficult condition but they could give an unexpected surprise because after all the scheme on the field can be decisive in this case.

Fulham haven't lost their home matches against Arsenal in the last two seasons. This may change tomorrow. Arsenal defend well. They've conceded only 3 goals this season. They don't score a lot, but they know how to win. I expect another low-scoring Arsenal victory. It's a tough away game but Arsenal regained the taste of being at the top, so they won't make a mistake in this match.

That history can still repeat again tomorrow if Arsenal does not approach Fulham with caution in the game, Arsenal is doing very well in the league they sit on top of the table because of how improved they have become and if they continue with their defensive strategies while they go for games it's possible to win from away without Fulham hitting the bask of the net. But if Arsenal underestimate them it's not going to go well as expected because Fulham will need a win to celebrate with their fans at their home ground.

Chelsea is the favourite to achieve three point against Nottingham Forest, because Chelsea have really improved this season since they won the CWC they have been in a good shap and doing great in all competitions they played and if they can continue like this, they will surely achieve trophies before the season ends. The coach is really doing very great job without even palma but they perform well and defeat Liverpool in the last minute of the match.

Nottingham Forest is really bad this season and this is a huge odd on Chelsea. I think everyone will bet on Chelsea because odd is too juicy to pass up. Chelsea is also to me in a good form and i think with this win they can be in the top to compete for the title. Postecoglou will probobly stay as the manager even if they lose because he came to the club not long ago

This is the most outstanding game to get a hold of because it's a Chelsea game where they get to face one of the most weak club this season but mind you, this is the English Premier League where none of these clubs should be underrated because I've watch the underdogs gaining three solid points against elite ones and how they're able to make everyone around them feel the pressure of swinging and facing them.

What's the confidence of Chelsea winning Nottingham Forest when they have the one man that could have help been sidelined. I'm referring to ice cold Palmer, when he's on the pitch, everywhere freeze with his stunning ice  cream performance. Trust me when I say this out loud, nobody's have the high level of IQ in the club than this Englishman. With Cole Palmer on the pitch, just sit down and calm your nerves because Palmer will be 100% threat to oppositions and making quite golden chances to create and score goals for the club he plays for.

The same thing will continue to happen if Arsenal perform well, but we now Odegaard got injured last week ago which I think it will affect their attack and Arteta still doesn't know who can fill the controller. Arsenal just have confidence because their history, they also have a fourth winning on a row which can make the squad appear confident even without Odegaard as an attacking control. That possibility 1-2 score will be happen if Fulham implements a defensive strategy.

Chelsea could develop and continue to win in the upcoming matches, including needing to secure a victory in the game against Nottingham. However, I don't think they can compete for the Premier League trophy this season. Competing for a top 4 position in the standings might be achievable for them. Chelsea is indeed improving, but let's see if they can perform consistently throughout this season, because that is the real challenge to be able to compete with Liverpool or Arsenal.

Interesting information and is it another time Arsenal make their fans disappointed after taking over a first position from Liverpool?

Arsenal in many years have shown their quality and competitiveness especially recent seasons with Arteta, but they have lacked of enough consistency for making them as a champion in Premier League. Honestly I am not surprised if Arsenal suddenly lose points to Fullham as it is like their habit recent seasons and your information on their head to head records with Fullham recent seasons makes me thinking more about a draw for Arsenal.

The same thing will continue to happen if Arsenal perform well, but we now Odegaard got injured last week ago which I think it will affect their attack and Arteta still doesn't know who can fill the controller. Arsenal just have confidence because their history, they also have a fourth winning on a row which can make the squad appear confident even without Odegaard as an attacking control. That possibility 1-2 score will be happen if Fulham implements a defensive strategy.

Odegaard is a good mifielder for Arsenal as he is able to control ball very well in the midfield, contributes well in attacks from key passes, assists and goals too. Losing him will make Arsenal midfield weaker and affect their attacking system in general so hopefully he will recover quickly and return to Arsenal squad soon enough.

Insider reveals whether Ange Postecoglou could be sacked if Nottingham Forest lose to Chelsea

Ange Postecoglou could be sacked if Nottingham Forest lose against Chelsea this weekend, TBR Football understands.

The 60-year-old is under major pressure after failing to win any of his first seven games in charge since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo.

Owner Evangelos Marinakis is exploring options to replace Postecoglou, including Fulham boss Marco Silva, and a number of the club’s top brass feel a quick change could be needed.

Damningly, Nottingham Forest have already lost five games under their current manager, and sources have indicated his dismissal could be imminent if they suffer another defeat.

All of the rumors that suggest Ange may be sacked when his team lose to the Chelsea. However, i still see Ange convince himself his position is fine. He even said would win Nottingham Forest trophy at his second season. I understand the chance for him to get sacked is much bigger. However, who knows Marinakis would be doing the thing like what Ratcliffe did to the Amorim.

They may give Ange more time to prove it as their manager. Yet, the result to the Chelsea may be determining his position.  If his team can still survice, he won't be sacked. Nevertheless, his team's chance is pretty small though.

I think they will lose today for Arsenal to prove to people that this season is different from other pass season, Fulham have the confidence of playing well in their home whenever they are playing because the cloud of their fans in the stadium change their mood to put more effort to achieve victory, I know Arsenal will win this match but I don't know how many goals they will score to defeat Fulham because Fulham will not going to overpower Arsenal defenders in this match, even though there will be mistake in the match, it will not going to be the one that will make Arsenal not to win this match today.

That's how it should be, but in football, surprises are a possibility, especially with the first match after the international break.
The reason this season will be different is because Fulham's performance has been quite poor, while Arsenal's performance is quite strong. It's natural that Arsenal are heavily favored in this match. Their strong motivation to stay in the title race means they will play even harder in this match.

Chelsea is definitely a stronger team than Nottingham Forest but sometimes these statistics are not very useful rather the performance on the field can prove all the previous predictions wrong. If Chelsea played this match at their home ground then I would have said with almost certainty that Chelsea will win this match but since this match will be held at Nottingham Forest's home ground then the result of the match may be different there. Of course Chelsea should ensure victory in this match but if they fail to win then a draw result will not be too bad for Chelsea.

 This is serious business for Ange Postecoglu. This game between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea isn't just one that promises excitement, but it also spells doom( depending on the outcome of the game).
We've seen how early kick-off games can be challenging for coaches and players alike and today would be no different.
Chelsea, if they win today would have a chance to occupy the 2nd position temporarily, and with the fact that the likes of Cole Palmer is still out injured, I'm curious to see how the whole thing would pan out.
 For some games now it's safe to say that the Blues have played poorly without the Englishman adding spice to the midfield and looking as how desperate Nottingham Forest are, I have a strong feeling it would be a challenge.
 Nottingham Forest need to win this game at all cost and given the home advantage, maybe luck could shine on them. Ange's job relies on their winning and we know how Chelsea inadvertently helps clubs whose coaches are given such ultimatums. See the case of Man UTD and Amorim, the Blues lost. Maybe it would be another repeat.

This particular game looks like a clear winning for Chelsea on paper since Nottingham forest are in a very bad form presently, but football can be very unpredictable and since postecoglou knows that his job is on the line if he continues his losing run, he might do everything possible just to get a point in this game because no matter how patient the hierarchy of Nottingham forest are with him, if they dropped to the relegation waters, they might sack him very fast since they will not want to take the chances of battling in relegation waters throughout the season, that's why starting from this game, postecoglou must start delivering a better results if he want to stay in the job before the next international break.

Meanwhile, regarding Chelsea chances of winning a trophy this season, their chances are frankly slim. They will need to work hard to close the growing points gap. Arsenal and Liverpool appear to be the strongest contenders this season, and perhaps by the second half of the campaign, Manchester City will be seriously involved in the title race.

Nottingham Forest has had a terrible season so far, failing to win any of their last five matches. They only managed one victory early on against Brentford and currently have a total of 5 points, with an additional 1 point each from draws against Crystal Palace and Burnley. Their performance has been declining, even worse than last season. Meanwhile, Chelsea has performed significantly better so far, accumulating 11 points. Given this situation, it is highly likely that Chelsea will dominate the match and secure a victory by the end of the game. However, anything can happen, and we do not know what Nottingham Forest is planning to do to potentially defeat Chelsea.
