Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[temple]

Well, I sure agree with you that we should not underestimate westham, sure, of course, and also I never said that the strongest team always wins, but I am just being realistic here, put luck aside, put mistakes aside, and lets focus on talent and man power, does westham have the talent and man power to beat Manchester city, Outside luck on their side, or mistake on the side of Manchester city? It's an honest question ..

And yeah, I know that no body expected Napoli to win serie A last Season, same way no body expected Saudi Arabia to beat Argentina in the last world cup, but this scenarios are just a product or luck, or as a result of luck, not that the team is qualified, or has the quality to win that title or beat a team like Argentina.

This is also what I am saying that, westham don't have the natural capacity to beat Manchester city, unless luck is on their side.

That is the point of football. If we assumed that City would beat West Ham and not play the game and just gave City, they would be the winners every season (and they are almost already are lol) but we let the game happen so that in the off chance that Westham plays a good game, they may get 1 point or even maybe 3 points.

Betting is another thing though, we are talking about something that would be quite difficult to handle and should be considered a bit more difficult to handle. I believe that we need to end up with something that would change things a lot, and should be doing fine. I hope that it could get to a better point and we could have fun but so far it is smart to just bet on City and move on with it.

At least it is not as obvious as it usually is when West Ham plays against Manchester City because most of the time West Ham isn't having that good of a time but now they look very stable at the moment.

The win against Brighton was a big one because I thought that Brighton would crush them since it was a home game and Brighton did very well and looked strong and ready for that game.

I don't know what to think of the game against Chelsea though as on the one hand I think it was a great win for West Ham against them, but since Chelsea lost their game against Luton, I guess everybody can beat Chelsea in any game.

Betting on Manchester City winning might be an okay option when they visit West Ham. But considering West Ham's form is currently on the rise, I think this bet falls into a slightly higher risk. I assume that Manchester City can lose maximum points in this match, I mean the match has a possibility to end in a draw.

I myself still tend to believe that Manchester City can win full points at West Ham, this is clearly because of the quality of the players and Pep Guardiola's tactics. I hope so, but this is what will make this fight so interesting to look forward to.

Erik Ten Hag is placed with enough responsibility, he is an integral manager for the Red Devils, and the club possesses many things to do this season. Furthermore, problems continue to arise, and they face new obstacles, all depending on the coach to sort them out within the precedent time given. The coach had problems with some of his players, first with Cristiano Ronaldo, and now with his winger, Jadon Sancho. The player is presently not in Manchestet United's plans, and the coach has already made attempts to replace flop performing players in his squad.

That's right, Erik Ten Hag must be responsible for Man United's lack of development, not blame his players. I think this is the result of Erik Ten Hag imposing the playing pattern he applied at his old club onto the Man United club. Erik Ten Hag should combine the style used by Man United with the style he applied at his old club. Not throwing away/selling good players and blaming players for reasons that are not in accordance with Erik Ten Hag's wishes.

I also see the impact of Erik Ten Hag's ego, and in my opinion Erik Ten Hag is only looking for safety because every time he buys players, most of them are former players he has coached and has proven a lot in the Premier League. failed (for example, when Antony played with Arsenal for up to 50 minutes, he did not make any dangerous/threatening moves but was defended by Erik Ten Hag until the 70th minute or less). What needs to be fixed is the monotonous playing pattern without Erik Ten Hag's own creativity and ego.

[Huppercase]

Although Arsenal are in good form, they will not forget last season's 1-0 defeat against Everton. And Arsenal have lost their last two away matches against Everton. But Arsenal won the home match. The next match is Arsenal's away match. Arsenal are not going to win even though they are strong. Considering the statistics, Everton team will be ahead. However, I would still say Arsenal will make no mistake in this match. They must have learned from their previous mistakes. If Arsenal want to go to the top of the table then Arsenal must get full points in this match. If not, Arsenal may not even be in the top 5/6 of the points table.

If we look at the history of meetings between Arsenal and Everton then of course we can see something unique that happened to these two clubs. Namely, Arsenal always lose when they play at home to Everton. And likewise, Everton always loses when they play against Arsenal. And this has been the case for several seasons. But this time I hope things will be different. Because seeing Everton's unpredictable performance at the start of this season and Arsenal's more expected performance is a fact at the start of this season. Eh, but wait, Everton also played quite badly last season. But at that time Everton had just got a new coach, namely Sean Dyche and at that time Sean Dyche managed to make Everton win as hosts against Arsenal. Initially I was convinced of Arsenal's superiority. But if I remember the results of the matches between these two teams in several seasons, it makes me a little confused about which club to stand for in this match.

It's understandable that when a club has a home match, they make sure they win it no matter what so that they don't get shame by the fan base and their supporters. The reason why Arsenal always win their matches when they met with Everton in Emirates stadium and why Everton always win too in Goodison Park. But have you look at what Everton has been playing for a while? They lost to many clubs Arsenal has beaten and even drew their last match with Sheff United, I don't think Everton are in their right mentality to win Arsenal even if the match is going to take place in Goodison Park, it's 100% win for Arsenal.

The Premier League is back and most of the teams are back from the international break, the ones that have double or triple league to battle will start this week and next but I don't think Everton has any other league to really compete or fight, just Premier League. It's shouldn't be that hard for them to win atleast first match in the Premier league to find a good place in the table, relegation early is how most them turn to the most less performing team till the end of the season.

[tusandii]

Yes, this is the reality. Everton's strength is far below Arsenal's, not only that, the performance and mentality of Everto's players are also still below Arsenal's. If judged from various angles, Arsenal will definitely be the favorites to win this match. If they can't win against Everton, this would be outrageous, although we can say that nothing is impossible in football, but this would be outrageous.

Everton struggled last season to escape relegation and you could even say they were lucky enough not to be relegated last season. Everton's strength this season is really messy because they are in the bottom third with 1 point and in my opinion Everton is one of the teams that has a big chance of being relegated this season if in the next match they don't show improvement. Everton have not once tasted victory in the previous four matches, they have actually experienced consecutive defeats and only got one draw.

Arsenal will be very comfortable coming to Everton's headquarters following the positive results they got in the previous match. It is impossible for Arsenal to lose this week's away game because they are only facing a bottom team who is struggling to get out of a series of disappointing results, so it is certain that Arsenal will win this match by two goals.

There is no doubt that Arsenal will be big favorites in this match. With Everton in their current form, who would predict that they will pick up points in this match? I think it doesn't exist. You could say Everton will win points in this match if they have very big luck to be able to at least hold Arsenal to a draw.
I understand that football can show all possibilities, but surely we will talk about reality now, about the good state of Arsenal and vice versa, about the state of Everton who are in a state far below Arsenal.

If we compare the two clubs, they are very different in terms of performance, Arsenal are superior, from several matches they were unbeaten, only having 1 draw and 3 wins, which makes us all confident that Arsenal will win this away match.
But it doesn't rule out the possibility that it will end up winning because Everton in this match will host Arsenal with a tighter defense and I think it looks like Everton will use defensive tactics that will be superior to maintain the match until it end in a draw.

Arteta in this match will not have too much difficulty giving direction to all Arsenal players because for him Everton will be easy to beat unless a surprise comes to change the situation in the match.

Welcome back to watch Premier League match, after pause almost two week due FIFA matchday on this weekend we are watching back Premier League match for week 5. On opening week 5 match Wolves vs Liverpool and opportunity for The Kop lead top standings few hours before interested match between West Ham United vs Manchester City. Until 4 games played, Manchester City have 100% winning achievement, will this week West Ham United can stop Manchester City winning record and The Citizen continue their top performance.

All Premier League matches week 5

• Wolves vs Liverpool
• Fulham vs Luton
• Tottenham vs Shiffield
• West Ham vs Man City
• Brighton vs Man United
• Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
• Newcastle vs Brentford
• Bournemouth vs Chelsea
• Everton vs Arsenal
• Nott Forest vs Burnley

It should be noted that the tour is quite modest - there are practically no big games.
The Brighton v United game is expected to be a tough fight and United risk falling even deeper in the standings if they lose points. And the Bournemouth - Chelsea game is interesting to me only because it is possible that Chelsea will continue to clownery and again will not win where they are obliged to do so.

I see Erik Ten Hag starting to panic because he has been given quite a lot of money to spend on several players to strengthen his squad. He was very burdened by his team's performance which did not meet the expectations of Red Devils fans. Indeed, the season is still long and he still has enough time to do something to improve his team. But I can no longer guarantee his position as manager if at the end of the season Manchester United again have zero titles, perhaps he will suffer the consequences.

Ten Hag has been given plenty of time and opportunities by Manchester United. Manchester United's performance from the previous season stabilized somewhat. So Manchester United management provided big funds to Ten Hag to buy players of his choice and strengthen the squad. But Ten Hag failed. He could not strengthen the United squad. United's performances so far this season have been very poor and erratic. If they perform like that, they won't even be in the top four of the table and won't even qualify for the Champions League. If ten Hag fails to stabilize the team quickly, then United management may once again look for a new coach.

All Premier League matches week 5

• Wolves vs Liverpool
• Fulham vs Luton
• Tottenham vs Shiffield
• West Ham vs Man City
• Brighton vs Man United
• Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
• Newcastle vs Brentford
• Bournemouth vs Chelsea
• Everton vs Arsenal
• Nott Forest vs Burnley

Almost all the week 5 matches of the premier league are interesting matches to watch. But I tend to choose the matches that appear to be tough and interesting to watch.
The matches are Everton vs. Arsenal, West Ham vs. Manchester City, and Brighton vs. Manchester United.
These three matches I mentioned, are the matches I know that both teams would like to show their superiority over the other, one more time. Their last meetings with one another go in favor of the other and this time around their meetings will be like a payback time.
My prediction for the chosen games is that Everton will lose to Arsenal by a score of 2-1. West Ham will lose to Manchester City by a single goal, and Brighton and Manchester United will play a draw.

[ShowOff]

-

The match between West Ham vs Man City is one of the most interesting in the fifth week, I quite hope that West Ham can hold Pep Guardiola squad to a draw this time. Even though I know this is very difficult for West Ham, if it is successful it will be an extraordinary achievement for the Hammers. If you look at the opportunity to hold a draw, it is quite big, because West Ham has not been defeated in the previous four matches. However, it could be that the match against Man City will break their positive trend, indeed on paper City are superior.

Manchester City will of course not be easily beaten by any team so far, but there is always the possibility of that as long as other teams can take advantage of their opportunities. West Ham has a chance to hold Manchester City to a draw, but the chances are very low in my opinion. If you bet on a draw, then I can say that it is high risk.

Moreover, West Ham is more likely to fail to maintain its pace without losing points. They have won 3 matches in a row and drawn 1, but I think that trend will end when they meet Manchester City. Of course David Moyes will hope that his team does not make mistakes and takes points in their home match, but that is not an easy task.

The only tough matches this week are the matches between Westham Vs Manchester City  and Brighton vs Manchester United, Westham would make it tough for Manchester City to easily score but City would still manage to win, but the match between Manchester united night end up with a draw full-time, however Manchester United may suprisenly win, so here's my prediction for this week's matches.
 Note - that BTS means Both Teams To Score.
Wolves vs Liverpool -  2
Fulham vs Luton - 1
Tottenham vs Shiffield - 1
West Ham vs Man City - 2x
Brighton vs Man United - 2x
Aston Villa vs Crystal - over1.5 goals
Newcastle vs Brentford - BTS
Bournemouth vs Chelsea - 1.5 goals
Everton vs Arsenal  -Nott Forest vs Burnley - 1x

Indeed, the season is still long and he still has enough time to do something to improve his team. But I can no longer guarantee his position as manager if at the end of the season Manchester United again have zero titles, perhaps he will suffer the consequences.

The demands from Club officials are definitely a championship trophy, which is reasonable because it is in line with the expenses incurred. Even though it is not completely stable, Ten Hag can still get a guarantee to return The Red Devils performance to its true track. The results of new recruits certainly require adaptation time, everything must be done gradually. However, if he continues to lose in the next match, Ten Hag career will end quickly at Old Trafford. There's no need to wait until the end of the season if The Red Devils don't appear consistent, because Ten Hag has already spent a lot of his budget in the transfer market.

On the other hand, many are optimistic and believe that if Ten Hag stays for a long time, and maximizes the potential of his recruits, he will definitely be able to achieve the EPL Trophy. This is indeed the case, because Man City will not be champions forever in the EPL, there will definitely be ups and downs in performance and transition periods.

It isn't normal that a goalkeeper is careless when the ball is passed to him. That's nonsense. In fact the best goalkeepers out there are those who have superb ball control with their feet because they can initiate a whole new range of game situations that other teams can't when their goalkeeper isn't as good in ball control and passing. But there aren't that many goalkeepers who are made part of the dynamic game by their teams.

That is new requirement for modern goalkeeper and it must be gained through changes in football academies and how they were grown up as youth players. De Gea belong to one generation before this current generation of goalkeepers. In his generation, goalkeepers like Neur changed the definition and requirements for goalkeepers but it's too late for De Gea to change. Maybe it is not only too late for him but also he does not have good talent with his feet.

If you have a goalkeeper like this, you should not pass the ball to him too much and should avoid to do this in dangerous situation. Kicking the ball as far as possible is better choice and see how Maguire tried to dribble, pass the ball inaccurately many times. It's his weakness and at this age, it's too late to change your skills entirely.

Yes there is no doubt that De Gea had a great time for as long as he was standing on the line and had his reflexes at play to defend the goal, but it's right that the modern game that has a lot to do with openings from the defense lines has also put more emphasis on an active goalkeeper game instead of just standing around waiting for some action. Neuer was the one who made these unforgettable moves as if he was a field player during the World Cup 2014 when they also won the title. It was some of the most impressive goalkeeper play I have ever seen.

Regarding Mancshter United and Onana, I think Mancshter United was not paying any attention to Onana playing for the national team in the African Cup.
In this season Onana can't play for his team in seven matches and this means they can't use this palyer, Onana had problems with the coach of his national team but again they asked him to join the team.
Onana joined Manchester United for 40 m in this summer.

From all these matches played on weekends, the teams for which I am expecting straight wins are Liverpool, Tottenham, Fulham, and Arsenal, and I will be betting on them because I have little confidence in this team's ability to play straight wins compared to other teams. I believe it may not be easy for the above-mentioned teams to win, but with my statistics, they will have more chances of winning. From my observations, it will be very hard for Wolves to have the opportunity to defeat Liverpool, so I am expecting Liverpool to get full points because Liverpool is far stronger than Wolves, and for Fulham, we know how strong Fulham normally are if playing at home again average team like them,and with Luton's current form, I don't think they have the strength to draw or even beat Fulham.[/list]

Regarding Mancshter United and Onana, I think Mancshter United was not paying any attention to Onana playing for the national team in the African Cup.
In this season Onana can't play for his team in seven matches and this means they can't use this palyer, Onana had problems with the coach of his national team but again they asked him to join the team.
Onana joined Manchester United for 40 m in this summer.

Andre Onana, after intending to retire from his national football career, was called back and played against Burundi in their last AFCON qualifiers.The issue he had with the coach was settled since he was featured in the match, and he performed very well and helped his team qualify for the African Cup of Nations in 2024.

Onana is a good goalkeeper who has good experience in various leagues, and he is a modern goalkeeper with football skills that can help defeat opponents from behind. I think he'll be very useful for the Cameroonian team in the Africa Cup of Nations because most countries are preparing very well to see their country win the title.

Andre Onana developed the mindset to retire from international games, however he's yet to triggered his action. He is always ready for the big games, he keeps making good improvements in league games for his new club and also the primary goalkeeper for his country. Andre Onana is an elite goalkeeper that's new to Manchester united pattern of game. The goalkeeper having good chemistry going on between his new teammates. Talking about showing up his country, he did have some issues with his coach over there but I think they would settled their differences and measure up for good gaming.

Well i agree with you for the favorites i think that o most all favorites will win ,but we always see a surprise in each round so i wonder what that will be. The only match i dont know what the outcome will be is between Brighton and Man Utd,honestly anything can happen here so will avoid it.

Recently there was some news about Hugo Lloris and it seems they wanted to don't use this palyer and sell him in this season but Ange Postecoglou the coach of Tottenham changed his mind and now he added the name of this palyer to the list for the Premier League. Ange Postecoglou said he thinks Hugo Lloris can't play for his team in this season but he added his name to the list and changed his mind. There is the possibility for us to see this palyer playing for his team in this season.

One weekend fixture I’m anticipating to watch is Everton vs Arsenal. Arsenal looks like the Bette team to win this game but they have failed to win Everton at Goodison park for more than 3 seasons now. Irrespective of their form, Everton always find a way to defeat Arsenal or play out a draw. I don’t know how this one will turn out to be, but I think Arteta might have found the solution to that Goodison park jinx.

This is a tough fixture for Arsenal, we know both teams have quite and interesting history in past meetings. I can also remember losing 1-0 to Everton last season, that was one of the games that decided Arsenal’s fate in the race against Manchester City for the league title. I’m curious to see if Arsenal can win this time and keep their unbeaten streak running. My prediction will be Arsenal to win and over 1.5 goal margin.

Indeed, Everton was one of the teams that hindered Arsenal's chances of winning the title last season and now the time has come for Arsenal to settle this grudge. Arsenal are in good form and the chances of losing against Everton are very small even though this is an away game for them. On the other hand, the return of Gabriel Jesus, who has recovered from injury since the match against Manchester United, has increased Arsenal's attacking power to be sharper. A margin of 1.5 is not difficult for Arsenal and I have a prediction that they will win decisively against Everton.

Arsenal are definitely going to win that game,but they need to be careful of what Everton are capable of doing,they are a team that can ruin your good form.Arsenal defence are capable of stopping their attackers from making any quick run that may lead to goal.
On the other hand, Arsenal will need to make some changes in their starting line up if they are to win that game, dropping Karl Harvetz for Fabio Vierra or Trosard,and placing Gabriel Magaleas at the heart of the defence with Saliba,Zinchenko and Ben white.If that formation is given,I can say that Everton don't have any chance of winning or drawing that game.
