Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[Sticky Bomb]

Michael Carrick is the reason why Manchester United lost to the newly promoted side Hull City. How can he used Dorgu as a winger, Kept Benjamin Šeško and Kobbie Mainoo on the bench, if he continues like this he would be sacked.

This is true, the moment I saw Mainoo on the bench, I knew there was a big problem because Mainoo is a stronger player than Santos. Another stupid error is playing Dorgu as winger instead of left back, like what the hell was he thinking? He underestimated Hull City with his formation and his team paid the price

Other than it City against Bournemouth. 1.53 for City to win clearly make no sense. They have a better squad on paper compared to the Bournemouth, but their manager is the guy who often did stupid things. So i find it's gonna be a tough game to beat Bournemouth in home game.

He is really doing stupid things, playing Guehi as defensive midfielder is a no for me, He's also playing Semenyo at the wrong wing. He would've swapped Foden and Semenyo, that would've produced better results. He's switching players a lot, it doesn't always end well. I'm not surprised Bournemouth is winning.

Crazy first halves in the PL so far this afternoon. Brighton are absolutely annihilating Aston Villa, it’s 4-0 and Villa have had a player sent off.

Man City 1-0 down against Bournemouth too. Obviously City can still mount a comeback but it looks very blunt, post Guardiola era. 

What do you really expect from Villa? They sold almost all their key players but somehow expecting Unai Emery to perform magic. Lol

Without Martinez on their goal post, every shot from the opponent is basically a goal. I wonder how they'll survive if they partway when his contract expires. None of their position is actually clicking. Their Midfield is mid, their attack is toothless and useless. I can't talk about their defense.

It's a weird decision for a team in the champions league to lose half of their players. Brighton are currently treating Aston villa as if they're still playing a preseason match. The second half has just kicked off now. Let see how it ends.

[Fakhrulenclix]

What is quite surprising is that yesterday Manchester United lost to a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League, namely Hull City with a score of 2-0, as the first game I think Carrick has a lot of mistakes in this game, he has to evaluate a lot, especially the attack line and too much to play the ball without having an attack that can score goals, this is very embarrassing in my opinion, their midfield must be good at passing and making breakthrough attacks, but it's a pity if their attack line does not have a good response.

I don't want to talk about this match again because the match cut my two tickets in two different casinos. I was not really thinking of Hull City to beat Manchester United 2-0. Michael Carrick would have use this first match of the season to shine but their preparatory was not good. And ass you said, he has to this this to evaluate the team and remove some players in the next match and reshuffle the players. It would have been better I watched the match without betting.

In the early weeks of the season it was difficult to determine bets because we couldn't yet measure the strength of each team, but what was clear was that this defeat to Manchester United was a surprise that I had never expected before because I had thought that Manchester United this season would be stronger and even considered capable of winning the title, but from what was seen in the first match, this speculation had to be refuted, even though it was still quite a long time for Michael Carrick to develop, but in my opinion this defeat has proven the strength of the Man United team and of course it will make the coach's job even more difficult.

Man City 1-0 down against Bournemouth too. Obviously City can still mount a comeback but it looks very blunt, post Guardiola era. 

I was really sensing the match between Manchester City vs Bournemouth to be a tough one for Manchester City to win and in a look of things right now, Bournemouth is already winning from the first half of the game and very soon the second half game will be kicking off, and if Manchester City can not come from behind and beat Bournemouth or draw in their home, it means that Bournemouth will be counting 3 points today but since the match has not ended, I'm still calm to watch the remaining half of the game to see how the match is going to end between Manchester City and Bournemouth.

So far, there hasn't been a draw in any Premier League match. If there isn't one today, I think it will be a rare occurrence. I see that the only match with a chance of a draw is the Newcastle game. I think Newcastle United have a chance of drawing at home against Liverpool. Also, there's a possibility of a draw between Aston Villa and Brighton. The Premier League matches currently being played are exciting, and some of the surprises have made them even better.

It has been a truly remarkable start to the season. Arsenal continue to cement their status as a formidable opponent, playing with the same high intensity as last season. Meanwhile United losing away at Hull City? Mental. But that’s football for you, form book goes out the window. Newcastle vs Liverpool could easily finish all square. Just comes down to who turns up on the day. Brighton were unreal today. 4-0 up vs Aston Villa and battering them. Should get more in the 2nd half too after João Gomes got sent off on 40.

Despite, the slack which would have made arsenal last season to miscalculate in grabbing the trophy which they later work out their maths with clean sheets of wining, they have always shown high level of doggedness determine is pursuit of wining any time game or season start that their three nil wining is great plus and courageous, what man united did on their first match is discouraging, looking at the ongoing match of man city with Bournemouth where they have already conceived one goal to nothing it take strong and tactical measure to find themselves out from losing today match.

[Humblevirus]

I really can't believe Aston Villa will play their first match so badly, Brighton & Hove Albion have already scored 4 goals, it's unbelievable, the first half is not even over yet, but Aston Villa have already conceded 4 goals. Is it their bad luck or have they lost their form?
Every Aston Villa fan in the gallery is sitting in deep despair, such a disappointing performance at the beginning of the season is really unacceptable from a team like Aston Villa. And besides, first of all they have already conceded 4 goals, at the same time João Gomes left the field after receiving a red card in the 40th minute, now Aston Villa are playing with a team of 10 men and conceding 4 goals, the score is 4-0. I don't have any expectations for this match, Brighton are performing very well, they are destroying the UEFA Europa League champions Aston Villa in their first match.

I didn’t expect much from Aston Villa this season because they have lost some of their key players, and I know it’s definitely going to affect them. But I did not expect that today would be really bad for them. In fact, I have been imagining what is actually going on because it’s not even 40 minutes into the game, and Brighton have already been able to score four goals. Now they have received a red card, which means they are one man down. That means that, if they are not lucky enough, it’s possible that Brighton could score not less than four goals in the second half again, which would be a very bad record for Aston Villa, especially if an average team defeats them by so many goals.

If Aston Villa are not careful, this season will be really rough for them because of the players they have lost, and they still have many competitions to play. With this result that Aston Villa have gotten now, they need to visit the transfer market and get some players as soon as possible.

[MArsland]

I was disappointed with Aston Villa performance, not being able to catch up and getting a red card when they were in a bad position. For me even though this match is not finished but there is no hope to reduce the score, there is something wrong with Unay Emery strategy, he should let Suzuki appear as starting evelen, rather than entrusting Marco Bizot to be goalkeeper.

Other than it City against Bournemouth. 1.53 for City to win clearly make no sense. They have a better squad on paper compared to the Bournemouth, but their manager is the guy who often did stupid things. So i find it's gonna be a tough game to beat Bournemouth in home game.

He would've swapped Foden and Semenyo, that would've produced better results. He's switching players a lot, it doesn't always end well. I'm not surprised Bournemouth is winning.

Like what i said Maresca often did stupid thing at Chelsea, then he bring his terrible habit to the City. His City will not even make it to the top 4 with this weird experiment. Guehi as a DM is a joke. I can't even see Maresca to stay until winter with his stupidity.

I think it is too early to call Manchester City favorites in their clash with Bournemouth. The loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield highlighted the Cityzens' issues, especially in defense, and without Guardiola, they will need time to rebuild. Bournemouth, coming off a strong last season, are well capable of taking advantage of this. At the same time, both sides have great attacking potential, so I expect an open game with plenty of chances. Betting on either team to win seems risky to me, so I lean towards over 3.0 total goals.

City's odds still subjected to the last season performance. It's why i think it's overvalued. But when the line up release, and i saw he played players not in their actual position. At that time i think they are finished.

[SFR10]

And perhaps the most difficult match will be Newcastle - Liverpool, since I expect Liverpool to be one of the title contenders, so I expect them to beat Newcastle today. But I think it will be an interesting and challenging game for Liverpool.

Predicting the first few weeks of the season is always a bit tricky, but based on the players that Newcastle has lost recently and Joelinton's injury, I can't see them snatching any points in this game and that's without considering their new manager.
^{- Despite feeling strongly that Liverpool will win, I'm going with BTTS (over 2.5 is also a good one).}

All these are mere excuses and it begs the question as to how long will this continue seeing that the season just started and fans have been made to start defending their teams? it is strange that Manchester united that s supposed to be one of the favorite title contenders have reduce themselves to a tea that struggle to win games and regardless how early this is, if you struggle to win your opponent game and can not even score goals, how do you contend for the title and this is a team that will still play in the champions league.

[YOSHIE]

I was disappointed with Aston Villa performance,

Yes, I also saw that Aston Villa at the start of this season disappointed their fans, Aston Villa this season was really unsatisfactory, they had to suffer a heavy defeat, I'm sure Aston Villa's performance had an influence on the loss of core players, of course they have to try to adapt when they are there field.

There is only one hope for Aston Villa to be able to catch up and increase the creativity of the attack line, of course all of this cannot be separated from the presence of new players at this time, the Premier League club is really being tested on the field this season, hopefully this season won't be a nightmare forAston Villa.

[Sticky Bomb]

What a way to turn loss into victory for Manchester city. In today's case Manchester city didn't win the match, Cherki did. He's such a magical player that can turn the tides around with intelligent manipulations of the ball that takes defenders unawares. Congratulations to City, they won this battle of a match. Maresca made lot's of risky experiments in this match, but Cherki saved the day

[Mayor of ogba]

It’s too early to have regrets.

It's not too early to regret because this is how Ruben Amorim started and Manchester United fans were saying his poor performance was because he hasn't signed his own players but when he did he couldn't improve Manchester United performance his performance in his second season at Manchester United was even worse, well let me take a chill pill and see how Micheal Carrick and Manchester United will perform against Ipswich Town on Sunday.

This match really got me worried, i was like "yesterday was Manchester United, now City, what's wrong with these Manchester neighbors" that made my friends laugh out loud cause they knew how Manchester United ruined my bet the previous day and their neighbour Manchester City was about to do same.
 Although i kept my hope alive cause there was still time to equalize and Guehi resurrected my hope again in the 84th mins followed by Gvadiol's late winning goal, but there's something awkward i noticed about both Manchester managers, why did they decide to use defenders in the left wing? Yesterday Carrick used Dorgu as winger and today Maresca used Lewis, what were they thinking?

Using Ruben Amorim like he is now the standard to judge this matter is wild. Then why not use Alec Ferguson because also sir Alex started poorly early as a coach.
Micheal may not get it right but one game is basically too early to judge anything or anyone, it is just the first game and this same guy has done so much beating big names like Manchester City in his first few games last season.

[Joca97]

I know Man City has a big roster and some really good players,but Cherki must play from the start. His vision on the field and what he can do is simply amazing and with two assist he won them the game. Still i think that Man City aint playing that well and Maresca needs to change something if they want to attack the title because today they just got lucky to score a goal in the last minute of the game.

[BitBakerr1]

Manchester city was so lucky to have won this match because what I was expecting was a draw, but they ended up winning the match.

Bournemouth made a very big mistake for not defending very well to make sure that they end the with a draw.

I am sure a lot of people predicted Manchester city to win the match because they believed that Manchester city is actually more inform than Bournemouth.

Congratulation to Manchester city but they really need to improve. This is the first match. They may actually start doing more better as time goes on, especially because they have won their first match. It’ll be a boost for them.

[New Judgement]

I was disappointed with Aston Villa performance, not being able to catch up and getting a red card when they were in a bad position. For me even though this match is not finished but there is no hope to reduce the score, there is something wrong with Unay Emery strategy, he should let Suzuki appear as starting evelen, rather than entrusting Marco Bizot to be goalkeeper.

Now that Unai Emery has seen that his decision to leave Suzuki out of the starting eleven has backfired him, probably by next match he will start Suzuki. But let’s be realistic here, Suzuki signing was just announced few days ago and it won’t be proper to start him immediately when he have a player that has been in the club, and is more familiar with the premier league. I guess Unai Emery was trying to take his time and introduce Suzuki into the starting eleven. But after this performance today, he will abolish such plans and make sure he starts Suzuki in their next match. The only thing that can change that now is if he’s willing to play Martinez.

[Egii Nna]

What do you really expect from Villa? They sold almost all their key players but somehow expecting Unai Emery to perform magic. Lol

It's a weird decision for a team in the champions league to lose half of their players. Brighton are currently treating Aston villa as if they're still playing a preseason match. The second half has just kicked off now. Let see how it ends.

The match ended with the same score as the first half, Aston Villa were not able to do anything in this match, I wonder why they will sell most of their important players and not bother to find replacements for them when they are going into a new season.

With this performance they played today, I will probably have a terrible season this season, Brighton completely dominated the match and they only have six shots with zero shots on target in the entire game.

Manchester City could have also get a surprise defeat against Bournemouth but they were able to make a last minute comeback secure their first win of the season.

[Majestic-milf]

 If Man City don't buckle up and do better in the coming games, they might not be taken seriously as title contenders. I was very disappointed by the game today and even though they won it was still not the Man City under Pep that we saw today., everyone was a shadow of themselves and it's amusing to note that it had to be two defenders that stepped up and scored.
