Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Princess Leah]

Ange was sacked. It's all due to the how terrible Nottingham Forest under him. It's hard to say no for sacking him after 8 games without a win. I had the feel Marinakis would sack him after Marinakis left his chair, and probably got the paperwork to sack him.

His decision to accept Forest's job is now backfire him. Although he's getting sacked, but it's fine consider he and his team mates will receive compensation.

I'm wondering in what league he will continue his career. I guess it can be serie a or la liga.

Evangelos Marinakis went from better to worst, he shouldn't have sacked Nuno Espirito Santo but give him more time to put the team in order, we'll that was a wrong gamble cause his decision to bring in Postecoglou didn't pay off, it's more worst, I believe that the previous manager would've done better than this.

 As for Postecoglou, he's been very awful in the Premier League, despite winning an European trophy for Tottenham they still sacked him, now this is the second time he's been fired by a Premier league team, I don't blame Evangelos Marinakis for sacking him though cause the performance of Nottingham was awful under his watch.

It will depend on Manchester United whether they can capitalize on this situation or not. If you ask me, I'm quite doubtful Manchester United can do it. This team is completely unpredictable; sometimes they're good, sometimes they're terrible.

However, I wouldn't rule them out, as they could play a very good game. And they also usually have a better record against stronger teams. I don't know why, but perhaps they're more motivated to show something to a stronger team.

Injury problems do make Liverpool seem like they facing an insurmountable obstacle, and their recent lost have cast doubt on their ability to win against Manchester United. However, Liverpool still have the edge, and I think Arne Slot can overcome it, as their two previous Premier League lost would be setback if they don't quickly get back to win ways and increase their points tally.

If I see even though Liverpool has had a series of defeats I am sure the coach will handle this whole team, Even though the match will be played at Anfield, Liverpool is much more favored than United, I also see United's current form, or their form, is declining. Liverpool typically performs consistently at home, and their opponents often struggle. In this case, strategy is crucial for the final result, whether it's player rotation or other factors.

I feel sorry for Ange Postecoglou, Nottingham forest players didn't do well to help him save his job. As I watched their match against Chelsea those players were playing as if they all want Ange sacked. They were wasting good chances and were shooting off targets. Their football  playing pattern was okay, entering and chances were created but scoring goal has been the problem of the team.

I hope Marinakis is enjoying the useless players he bought over the summer. I have never seen a Man that prefers quantity over quality when it comes to signing players like Marinakis.

I just have to share this outstanding performance from Chelsea against Nottingham Forest 3 goals winning against a club that is Strong enough to bring Chelsea down over some time, this should be a big one for Chelsea and a pointer that we are going to be seeing a more successful season ahead for Chelsea in the premier league, this weekend is a big winning for those that choose Chelsea as straight winnings in their tickets.

I wrote yesterday that it's very easy to predict winner of Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest game. Nottingham had a good last season but after week eight, they are in relegation zone and that's mainly because of decision to replace team head coach Nuno Espirito Santo. Now after 3-0 defeat against Chelsea, Ange Postecoglou is sacked by Nottingham Forest as head coach and that means Forest will have third head coach this season. With only win so far in this season, the battle for Nottingham will be not to end this season in relegation zone.

Ange Postecoglou sacked just minutes after Chelsea beat Nottingham Forest

Ange Postecoglou was sacked as Nottingham Forest manager just minutes after the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis moved quickly following the loss at the City Ground.

It was Postecoglou’s fourth successive defeat in all competitions and boos rang around the City Ground at full-time as the Australian trudged from the field, not knowing that his 40-day reign was over.

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.

The Club will make no further comment at this time.

— Nottingham Forest (@NFFC) October 18, 2025

The 60-year-old had delivered a defiant speech in Friday’s press conference and said if given the time “the story always ends the same… me with a trophy”.

Forest is a big mess to themselves for sacking an experienced coach and hired Ange. I am happy that Forest management got what they deserved in no time. Ange should go coach a smaller club or a club in division two in order to improve himself. I know that it will be an easy win for Chelsea since Forest is in a weak state.

It was perfectly reasonable to be fired. Ange's arrival was initially expected to improve Nottingham's performance but in reality it only added to the club's pain. After a run of eight matches in all competitions without a single win, with two draws and six losses, he was dismissed after just 39 days as Nottingham manager.

He even set a sad record for Nottingham, having made history. So it's no surprise that after losing to Chelsea just minutes later, he was fired. It will be interesting to see where Ange goes next, but I think he needs to reflect and calm down before accepting offers from other clubs. His mistakes while coaching Nottingham are very clear. While Nottingham played a strong defense last season, he implemented an open-minded strategy similar to his Tottenham days. This is certainly a mistake as he needs to build a new foundation.

[ajanwalker]

Nottingham Forest created chances but couldn't score due to their forwards' inept finishing.
This was the case today. With the score at 0-0, Nottingham created two clear-cut chances, but Gibbs-White failed to capitalize on them. Chelsea leveled the score at 0-2 in the 51st minute of the second half. After this goal, the Nottingham Forest boss left the stadium.
Forest had a clear-cut goal-scoring opportunity with the score at 0-2, but again failed to score.
Forest's biggest weakness is their lack of a striker with an impressive and powerful finishing touch.
Fans began leaving the stands with the score at 0-3.
Radical changes could be imminent.
This could be Angelos Postecoglou's last match.

Terrible results, after 8 games all lost not even a single draw let alone a win. What Nottingham Forest management was running away from that made them to sack Nuno Espirito they are still experiencing same thing if not even worse. I think they have played 4 league games under Ange Postecoglou and got zero points, that's how bad it's turned out for them.

His results at Nottingham has been really poor since he joined them and unlike some other teams, they probably has cannot of patience and had to let him go, but again looking at the squad, do they even have the ability to really do better under the leadership of another coach? They do not have a good form even, and their depth is not such that can really compete equally in the premier league, in as much as they will want to blame the coach all they want, they should also consider team restructuring so they can do well the leadership of a new coach.

[Cossyblack]

The match is still ongoing in the second half with the score at Nottingham 0-2 Chelsea. The match will end in a few minutes. And I see that Nottingham has no chance of catching up with Chelsea or even winning this match. Chelsea is playing extremely well and even giving their best performance in this second half. And I'm sure that Chelsea will win the match. It seems that Nottingham and even Ange Postecoglou are once again suffering a series of disappointments. And this seems to reinforce the issue of Nottingham Forest's coach replacement which may happen soon after this match.

To be sure that Chelsea will win this match... it's now the 90th minute, and the score is already 3-0, there's no hope for Nottingham Forest. Chelsea played quite well in this match, even with Palmer absent, but they were confident playing at Nottingham Forest's home.
This win gives Chelsea a significant number of points, and they will move up to third place after this match.

It's a happy day for all the Chelsea fans because they have won this one despite having big odd in the game but they still scored 3 goals in the game. The performance of Chelsea was good today they surprised everyone as they were better than Nottingham Forest who I thought will be difficult for them to defeat since they will be playing at their home ground but Chelsea defeated them without conceding goal it's a very good score for Chelsea, one other thing is that Chelsea manager should advise his players to stop getting red card in every game it's becoming too much for the team.

I just have to share this outstanding performance from Chelsea against Nottingham Forest 3 goals winning against a club that is Strong enough to bring Chelsea down over some time, this should be a big one for Chelsea and a pointer that we are going to be seeing a more successful season ahead for Chelsea in the premier league, this weekend is a big winning for those that choose Chelsea as straight winnings in their tickets.

Nottingham Forest last season could have defeated Chelsea in this game but not this current Nottingham forest. I predicted Chelsea to win this game because I knew the current Nottingham forest wouldn't be a threat to Chelsea victory. Anyway, It was a big victory for Chelsea for earning three points from this game. However, Nottingham forest had a lot of goals opportunities but misused them,If they had utilize those chances very well,the goals would be equalize and the game would've been more interesting. I think the coach walking out from the game even when the match is still ongoing isn't what he should have done at that moment but instead,he chose to allow his emotions control him.

[Swordsoffreedom]

So far, City players have taken 8 shots. But only one shot was on target. City is able to create many attacking opportunities. But they  have failed to break  Everton's defense. It was expected  that Everton will play defensively in this match. Their target is to get 1 point from the match. So City will definitely have to increase their attack speed to break Everton's defense.

Despite not playing well in the first half, in the second half we only saw Manchester City's dominance. Manchester City took a 2-0 lead in just 20 minutes of the second half. Haaland scored both goals. City players have had 17 shots so far, with 71% ball possession. On the other hand, Everton players have had only 5 shots. Everton wanted to draw the match. But they could not resist Haaland's sharp attacks.


Chelsea also got an easy win against Nottingham Forest. Although this team's performance was weak at the beginning of the season, it is in a very good position now. Especially in the last few matches, we have seen strong and organized performances from the City boys. They won the away match against Nottingham Forest by a large margin of 3-0.

Manchester c ity are currently  fighting a tough battle against Everton. Manchester City players have failed to score a goal in the 35th minute. Since this is City's first match after the international  break, and the match is being held at the Etihad , the expectations of City fans are certainly high. But despite several attacks, Manchester city has not been able to score a goal.

I had no doubts that Manchester city would this game, first half is almost over and they are leading with 2 goals. Everton are not really In a good form this season, even though city might not be in their best form they are still better than Everton this season. Haaland played a huge role in today's game, i hope they can keep this up. Everton were defensive in the first half but Manchester city broke through it in the second half.

Everton was really giving Manchester city though time in this match, because they where more of playing defence, but Manchester city just broke Everton defense and  scored two goals as at the time I'm making this post, and one thing you should know about Manchester city is that  you might be playing defence depriving them of scoring goals and you might achieve that in the first half, but they will never take it like with you guys in the second half especially when they are playing at home, and I knew it that Manchester city will definitely show Everton why they are called the city, and the storm breakers. I gave Manchester city straight win and they have delivered, just waiting for more few games to grap my win on that particular ticket.

Chelsea played well today most especially during the second half of the match, they were able to score 3 goals in the second half of the match. Some people doubted them before the match started, some people said since Nottingham forest have been losing most of their matches, they might end up surprising us against Chelsea, but I knew Nottingham forest won’t be playing anything special today, I knew Chelsea will be getting a win today, but I never expected them to score 3 goals in the match.

But Chelsea needs to work on something, they need to stop unnecessary red card which they are receiving in their matches, almost every match which Chelsea is playing right now, they are always receiving red card. Their last match was against Liverpool, they won the match, but Enzo Maresca received red card, today they won, but Gusto received red card in the match, seriously it doesn’t make sense.

39 days and 8 games in all competition but Nottingham Forest unable to gets the winning results which i think it's normal if the management have no patiently anymore to Postecoglou and decide to sack him but i think Nottingham Forest did the fatal mistakes when they were sack Nuno Espirito Santo because in my opinion it's too early to make the decision and now Nottingham Forest have to look for new manager which this is the third time during this season and it's not easy to new manager to lifted the team performance besides that changing managers several times will make the condition of the club is unstable which i am sure it will have any effect to their performance

This win gives Chelsea a significant number of points, and they will move up to third place after this match.

Third place at the end of their match against Nottm Forest. As we are currently watching other Premier League matches, Chelsea has fallen from the 3rd spot to the 6th spot. They can fall to the 7th spot if Crystal Palace wins their match against Bournemouth. Unfortunately, Crystal Palace is currently losing at home by 0-1 against Bournemouth. The match can end in Crystal Palace's or Bournemouth's favor, let's watch out

Crystal palace Bournemouth is one of the most intriguing games I've seen in recent matches in the premier League, this is a game I've already written off crystal palace, 90 minutes plus, and the game is 3-3, if Bournemouth had won this game, they would have been topping the league with at least two points, until there is a decider in the game between Arsenal and Fulham. A draw is not too much of a bad result for both teams.

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.

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.

Yes, you're right. The English Premier League is known for its unexpected surprises. Chelsea must remain vigilant in this upcoming match. Looking at the head-to-head record, Chelsea has dominated and won many of their matches. Indeed, in terms of player quality, Chelsea is superior to their opponents. While many observers believe Chelsea will win this upcoming match, this is actually a golden opportunity for Chelsea to steal all three points and potentially shift the standings.

Nottingham Forest couldn't maintain the same momentum they used last season in the Premier League this season, which led to their coach being sacked, and even Nottingham Forest's new coach hasn't won any matches for Nottingham Forest since he was hired. Chelsea's currently performing isn't commendable, but if Chelsea can be able to perform the way they did against Liverpool when they visit Nottingham Forest in a few minutes, Chelsea will dismantle Nottingham Forest and take all three points to boost their top four hope.

Chelsea are on it they are winning Nottingham Forest 2-0 and Chelsea may likely score more goals before full time.
Nottingham Forest performance this season was unexpected because they did well last season but since the starting of the new season they had just won 1 game and are currently at the relegation zone.

After 60th minutes and Nottingham Forest is yet to get a shot on goal which means they have 0 goal attempt which i even doubt if they can get 1 shot on target before full time from there poor performance.

The way Chelsea calmed the game towards the ending of the first half, I knew if they continued like that in the second half, they will score a goal. When I went back to continue Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea match in the second half, I was surprised to see that Chelsea had scored two goals in the interval of 4 minutes. Nottingham Forest are performing well, but the reason why they aren't winning their matches is because they aren't making use of their chances.

I just have to share this outstanding performance from Chelsea against Nottingham Forest 3 goals winning against a club that is Strong enough to bring Chelsea down over some time, this should be a big one for Chelsea and a pointer that we are going to be seeing a more successful season ahead for Chelsea in the premier league, this weekend is a big winning for those that choose Chelsea as straight winnings in their tickets.

What’s a great second half performance for Chelsea, they really played well and get their desired three points. Nottingham Forest missed a lot of chances in the match, they could have scored early in the first half, but it seems like the players are not happy with Ange and wanted him sacked since they all know that he might be sacked if he lose this game, and he was sacked after the match.

Chelsea is gaining back their momentum in the Premier League after some inconsistent performances; they defeated Liverpool before the International break and now another wonderful win that moved them to the sixth position of the Premier League table.

But Chelsea needs to work on something, they need to stop unnecessary red card which they are receiving in their matches, almost every match which Chelsea is playing right now, they are always receiving red card. Their last match was against Liverpool, they won the match, but Enzo Maresca received red card, today they won, but Gusto received red card in the match, seriously it doesn’t make sense.

It not good for team to be getting red card consistently. Chelsea has received five red cards within six games which is very bad, it’s a sign of indiscipline among the players, the coach needs to warn the players to avoid missing out important players in some important matches.

A draw is not too much of a bad result for both teams.

After Ryan Christie scored, I actually expected this to happen, but Mateta's third goal from the penalty spot in the 90+7 minute shattered all of Bournemouth's hopes. Overall, it was one of the most entertaining matches in the Premier League. It's matches like this that add excitement to the league. Congratulations to Mateta for his exceptional performance.

Manchester City 2 Vs Everton 0
For a minute I was afraid that Manchester City was not going to deliver today after their first half result and at the same time I just thought about how Chelsea played goalless in the first half and scored 2 goals within a short time after the restart. When I checked and saw that Manchester City has already scored 2 goals, I was so relied and I said to myself, I just thought about this and it happened.
