Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[reagansimms]

The West Ham vs Chelsea match was a 1-1 draw in the first half, and Chelsea got a good chance in the 43rd minute because they were awarded a penalty that Fernandez executed. But unfortunately West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola was able to block it because it was easy to read.
Even though it was an opportunity for Chelsea to add a goal in the first half which should have been used very well and had to be executed by the right people. And I think Carney Chukwuemeka will take the penalty, because he already scored in the 28th minute. And so far Chelsea have dominated the game throughout the first half and I hope in the second half Chelsea can add goals and win the game against Wesr Ham.

Chelsea are still trying to dismantle West Ham defense to find their first win, Chelsea had the opportunity to change the score to 2-1 but the penalty kick that was executed by Enzo Fernandez was successfully driven away by the West ham goalkeeper. Chelsea struggle got even harder after West Ham changed the score to 2-1 in the 53rd minute through a goal created by Michail Antonio, Pochettino had to rack his brains so that his team would not be humiliated in this game. Chelsea's great squad is still having difficulties in front of West Ham, Pochettino had to change strategy to save his team from defeat.

[Sim_card]

So far Chelsea look stronger than West Ham, but as I expected both teams scored and so far the score is tied... West Ham are also playing well and managed to score first... I don't know who will be the winner here, but I don't rule out a draw...

Unfortunately, Chelsea conceded another goal from West Ham, I think it will be difficult for Chelsea to win and you should not rule out a draw, maybe if they are behind by one goal Chelsea can still reply.

In attack and other statistics Chelsea are stronger but they are a bit of a defense, maybe this will be Chelsea's next defeat?

Of course there is still a long time that can change this game.

What a beautiful shot from Antonio on the 53rd minutes which displaced the goalkeeper of Chelsea into the net. Chelsea is in dominance of the game and winning all possessions but the little opportunity that Antonio has,he took advantage of it and bang the post. After Chukwuemeka left the pitch,his wing is leaking. I guess that this match might end in a draw because I believe that Chelsea will equalise the second goal. West Ham still have the advantage of winning the game because they are leading. Sterling is putting up a superb performance today which I wasn't expecting from him.

West Ham United just wasted there chances of getting a 3 points in this game. They’ve only been managing the game with Chelsea this far and somehow has managed it to get ahead with Chelsea only coming from behind to equalize and now down to 10 men, Chelsea organize a feast on them as West Ham United has got no other option than to approach the game with a defensive strategy.

I believe that game will end in a draw because Chelsea won't just let WestHam win them like that,they drew their first game,and are still struggling with the second one,that is why everybody says English Premier league is complicated because every team in the league is strong,there is no small team in the league.It is really going to be hard for Chelsea to win this one,the best score they can get in this game is a draw,that is if they don't allow WesHam get the third goal to make it 3-1,if it is still two,I believe Chelsea can come back to draw this game.
Pochetino have done all he thinks is best for the club in the transfer Market,it is left for the players to show what they can do on the pitch.

I don't like Chelsea's match strategy at all. Such match tactics are useful in La Liga but not in Premier League. Chelsea had 75% of the ball. If you don't play attacking in Premier League, it is difficult to win against big teams. Chelsea are having more ball possession. But even then he could not keep his defense strong. Defense should be the first priority when playing in such a strategy. Keep the defense strong and then proceed slowly to attack. But Chelsea failed to keep their defense strong. West Ham managed to score two goals despite only having 25% of the ball possession. West Ham now lead 2-1. Coach Poch needs to change his match strategy. If not, his defense needs to be strengthened. If he can't do that, we won't get good and consistent performances from Chelsea this season.

Chelsea don't have a great squad, they just have an expensive squad that doesn't seem to live up to expectations. So far I haven't seen Chelsea play well in the second half and they conceded to West Ham instead. Of course it was very disappointing, even after Pochettino changed several players.

Chelsea, who are currently playing against 10 West Ham players, should be able to create opportunities to change the score to a draw, but they are still very difficult to penetrate West Ham's defense so far. I think West Ham can win this game if they are really disciplined in defense and avoid fatal mistakes in the defensive area.

[hahay]

The current score is 2-1 and West Ham is still leading but apparently, West Ham is currently playing with only 10 players. That way, Chelsea should be able to play even better to create a balance or maybe at the same time to score the winning goal by turning things around.

But unfortunately, it also looks like there is not enough time left and of course, it will still be difficult for Chelsea to turn things around. Because after all, with West Ham already leading with a score of 2-1 and also playing with only 10 players, then of course West Ham will maximize playing defensively now to secure the score. Therefore, if Chelsea doesn't get lucky, then it looks like Chelsea will still lose this match.

I am genuinely concerned about Chelsea. I know this is just the start of the season. But they had to perform better against West Ham United. Right now, the score of the match between Chelsea and West Ham United is 2-1 in favor of West Ham. Chelsea did not win the first match and now they are about to lose the second match as well. But probably Chelsea still has a chance because West Ham United is playing with 10 men. Because West Ham United has a player sent off. But Chelsea will have to hurry because 89 minutes have already been played in this match. There are not so much time left in this match for Chelsea to do too many things. Chelsea will have to pull something out of their ass right now.

Chelsea will most likely not score for the remaining minutes of this second half, obviously because they are not able to develop their game properly. Chelsea didn't create many dangerous chances during the second half which is why I'm not sure about their chances of avoiding defeat. Of course Chelsea can build up attacks, but they really can't play cool.

To be honest this is not the Chelsea I watched last week against Liverpool. Even now they have to pay dearly after West Ham again scored a penalty in injury time. Nothing great from Chelsea, really their game was really bad today.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes Chelsea had to lose in the second week when they met West Ham headquarters and they had to lose by a score of 3-1. They fell behind by 1 goal in the 7th minute, but they were able to equalize in the 28th minute, so the 1-1 score was the score that occurred in the first half. Entering the second half, West Ham regained the lead in the 53rd minute, and 15 minutes later West Ham had to play with 10 people after one of their players received a red card and had to shower early. At first I thought that Chelsea would be able to take advantage of their numerical advantage and make the score even, but apparently West Ham realized that they were short of players so they focused more on defense making it difficult for Chelsea to penetrate their defense. The catastrophe finally came in extra time after West Ham won a penalty and successfully converted it into a goal.

The fact is that Chelsea only has players with fantastic numbers, but in terms of quality it has not been fully tested. Playing a draw in the first match against Liverpool brought a little fresh air, that they will be able to rise in this new season. However, this prediction turned out to be wrong, when referring to the latest defeat against West Ham United 3-1 in the second week of the EPL.

The loss of team captain R James is very influential for the Blues squad, Mauricio Pochettino will face pressure from the start of the season.

Seeing the way Chelsea play really pisses me off, because Chelsea can't take advantage of 10 West Ham players. And as we can see West Ham with 10 players can still attack and put pressure on Chelsea, even being able to add goals through penalty kicks.
And even though it's still early in the season, Chelsea must be able to show changes plus many new and young players who must be able to take advantage of the moments of 10 opposing players, and also penalty kicks. But the opportunity did not make the slightest change, Chelsea even conceded and the score became 3-1. My expectations in the second half for Chelsea were wrong.

The game just now dealt a blow to Chelsea from all directions the attack didn't make it deadly I saw Mudryk's chance but he doesn't have the skill when in front of goal.
With the loss of players from West Ham not necessarily Chelsea can reply but missed on his defensive line that began to fatigue so Chelsea's game could not concentrate better but by continuing to attack but obviously more failed.

YES Pochettino has pressure, he must be able to change his squad when some players are absent the squad must remain solid.

[swogerino]

I would consider Chelsea result a really big surprise so far considering how good they played in the first game at home against Liverpool.I think they are still a new team considering that Pochettino had time but most probably not enough to make them a stable team yet and the fact that they did not win against 10 players West Ham shows that they wanted badly to win and played in a chaotic way desperately trying to win while giving West Ham chances that unfortunately for Chelsea they were converted to goals.

[FanEagle]

Definitely an unexpected game and I do not think that it would be that difficult or weird, we should be considering the situation a little bit differently. I think it is going to be something that would not be impossible to handle, but that doesn't mean that United should take a look a t what went wrong. It still doesn't mean that Spurs are a better team than United, just because of one win that doesn't happen and we cant say that right away.

However, what we can say is that there is room for improvement for United, and they need to take a look at where that improvement should come from and where they are lacking something and that could be better in the end. It would allow them to prevent a future problem a lot earlier.

I can't believe Enzo Fernandez miss and opportunity to make the match 1-2 in their favour, it was a very brilliant save from the Westham goalie and unfortunately for Chelsea António was able to convert a fine shot into a goal making it 2-1 and in return made it difficult for Chelsea to equilise, i think Chelsea played brilliantly in the first half today and though their squad is very expensive they still got good players with lack of experience but with time they'll begin to understand themselves.
 I see no reason why they should lose the match because they even played against a 10 men Westham squad and that alone should give them the upper hand in the match but they failed to convert the fine chances they had and allowed Westham to even get a penalty and score the 3rd goal in the late minutes of the match, the westham defense looked very solid and making it more difficult for Chelsea to penetrate but what marvels me is mudryk failing to convert good chances when they manage to beat Westham's defense,  his performance was poor in the match no wonder he was benched and was bought in due to Carney's injury.

It doesn't matter what reason Chelsea lost that match, what is clear is that I don't get them playing well in this match. Overall Chelsea played so badly and West Ham was really able to make it difficult for Chelsea until the end of the game. 1 draw and 1 loss, of course this is a result that Chelsea didn't expect after spending so much budget in the transfer window.

Chelsea is a mess currently, they can barely even hits the woodwork against Westham united. In the beginning of the match, I had a strong feeling that we were going to win the game, but things didn't work out as planned. Mauricio Pochettino really need to upgrade his game this time around, because there's a whole lot of mistakes made on the pitch, the blues backline recording blunders that led to most goal scoring opportunities for westham. I'm upset because they dominated the game and failed to net a goal which was the actual target for the club. Giving chances to westham to even go as far as netting another goal with red card, making the game 3-1. I wouldn't blame Enzo Fernandez for missed penalty, everyone made mistakes.

It was indeed a surprising result because I watched the first 45 minutes of the game and I saw that Chelsea had a chance to win the match because they were controlling the entire game. Despite starting the game by conceding an early goal, they managed to equalise and keep playing well until the end of the first half.

Chelsea have the team that everyone is expecting to compete for the Premier League title, especially as they are not playing any European competition, and with the money they spent so far in the transfer market, I don't expect such a performance from them. Nevertheless, let's still give the new players time to adapt to the Premier League style of play, even though some of them were playing in the Premier League already, and also give Pochettino time to come up with a better squad.

[AakZaki]

I didn't expect that Man United lost 0-2. I bet this game would end goalless. Because in the first half both teams played equally strong. But after the half-two break, Totenham managed to make a goal from a counterattack, and Martinez's own goal. Man United had a lot of good chances, but they couldn't make a goal. Rashford are not playing optimally, they don't look like they have a number 9. Hojlund's arrival is expected to solve this problem, but his position is still injured. So it looks like Ten Hag will have to be patient with the current conditions.
