Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

Regarding Chelsea, you can have all the money in the world but if you spend it on overpriced crap, you won’t do very well. I think they have major problems, loads of sub standard players on 8-9 year contracts. They could be in big trouble over the next couple of years.

I don’t know how after spending £1,000,000,000 their man striker is Jackson who looks terrible. They are without doubt the worst run club in the PL.

I doubt what is worrying Man UTD is just management issues alone, maybe there's something else but if they don't improve, they will drop further than the 13th spot they're in. Maybe hitting 18 or 19 position might be enough to wake them up?

Everything.

The management, coach, and player are the reason why Manchester United can be like this.

Even Manchester United performed so bad, there's no way for Manchester United to hit as low as 18th position, at least they're better than Everton, Luton Town, and Sheffield United. It really looks impossible for big team to get relegated and play in league two.

Chelsea's made absolutely no progress and even got worse, even though Chelsea were able to dominate possession of the ball but unfortunately were unable to break through Bournemouth goal.
Its a shame, even though I thought Chelsea would win this match so they could get points and try to move up in the standings, but it seems like its becoming a difficulty for Chelsea at the moment knowing that their performance is decreasing.
If Mauricio Pochettino can not change a new strategy it might be difficult for Chelsea to rise from its current position.

Only being able to achieve one win in five matches is certainly not something the fans expected. The draw result obtained from Bournemouth certainly adds to fans' concerns about the existence of their favorite team being able to compete at the top of the standings. Pochettino was starting to run out of ideas to restore the players' confidence to return to winning ways. Statistically, Chelsea were quite in control of their game but unfortunately they were unable to break into Bournemouth's goal. I'm starting to be pessimistic about seeing the Blues recover and maybe Pochettino will be given an ultimatum by Boehly and it is possible that if we don't get good results in the next few matches then the manager's position will be re-evaluated.

There were too many expectations from the Pochettino before start of this season but after five games they have just five points with one win and two draws even things are looking not good on papers and in reality as well but here I have feeling he deserved more time for setting things as par requirement because there is big mess-up here in this team even they have too many quality players but still not able to have better results it needs more time hopefully they will be able to have positive change in coming weeks.

Bournemouth has never been easy team at home, and they already give their best against struggling Chelsea and have third draw of their five games and still looking for the first win but here we need improvement in Chelsea attack which is not able to give this best and missing too many chances despite having good ball possession throughout match.

Harry Kane-less Tottenham are currently number two in the English Premier League table, surprisingly, this is true. Naturally, we thought that Tottenham would become a much weaker team after Harry Kane left, but this season, it seems that Tottenham have become stronger and more formidable after Harry Kane left.

Harry Kane left early and the new coach had enough time to prepare for his absence from the team. Being a new coach just coming at a time that Harry Kane was leaving, the coach already had no dependence on him and was able to get the team to play together. Now with him, and every player in the team knowing that they can loose their position, it is making every player put in their best when they play.

With the season off to a great start, it remains to be seen how far they can carry this streak into the rest of the season.  
We have noticed several changes in Tottenham's game this season compared to last season. Perhaps because of the new plan, Tottenham's performance has improved so much.

A win against Arsenal will improve their mood for the season. I am thinking if the coach will play Son in scoring position or Richarlison since he scored in their last game. Maybe he was use both players, with Son playing in from the win.

Almost 50% of voters choose Manchester City for the champion in the 2023/24 season, I also certainly don't have doubt about it. because they show good performance at the beginning by sweeping away all the winnings. Haaland will definitely be the highlight throughout this session because simultaneously with the club. he has scored 7 goals as top scorer, and will be the next star after Ronaldo and Messi. But that's not certain (still on the knees of the gods) because I see Liverpool have found their game like 2021-2022 session. If possible, this year will be very tight and maybe the winner will be decided in the last session (week 38).

Really, people who dont see how dominant Manchester City is are either dumb or in denial! Even when key players arent on the pitch, they are always the same. Even though Haaland is clearly very good, I think its too early to compare him to Ronaldo and Messi. The kid needs to show a lot! Let's talk about Liverpool, though. They look like they're getting back to their best. City is in danger from it! The fact that this title race is getting so close bothers me, I'll be honest. Its possible that Week 38 will decide the winner, and I dont think my heart can handle that much tension!!

Harry Kane-less Tottenham are currently number two in the English Premier League table, surprisingly, this is true. Naturally, we thought that Tottenham would become a much weaker team after Harry Kane left, but this season, it seems that Tottenham have become stronger and more formidable after Harry Kane left. This team of the English Premier League is in the second position of the table with 13 points in the first five matches in the Premier League with four wins and one match draw.  

With the season off to a great start, it remains to be seen how far they can carry this streak into the rest of the season.  
We have noticed several changes in Tottenham's game this season compared to last season. Perhaps because of the new plan, Tottenham's performance has improved so much.

I wouldn’t say Harry Kane was the problem but I would rather say the new change of the coaching staffs was a good one. Postecoglu is a very tactical coach from his time at Celtic and that has been shown in recent performances. If we look at the spirit in the dressing room it has changed and he elevated which shows the boys are in love with the manager. It is things like this that actual matters, when a player is happy with his manager they can go to war for him and that is what Tottenham players are doing right now. With This energy around the north London club I see them going afar in the league this time if they don’t slow down or got inflicted by injuries.

The players that have been pivotal to this improvement this season are Son who was given the captain band, Bissouma and Richarlison who just scored his second league goal for the spurs to inspire the come back. If you look at last season this three players weren’t even starters due to their form but now they are almost guaranteed to start just any match this season the way things are going right now.

One of the biggest test for Ange’s men will come on Sunday when they face their North London rivals in a match that would shape both clubs season.

Agree with you to a very much extent, even though money does have a great power when it comes to a club having the best players, it still doesn't entirely does the job, what I think does the job perfectly is wisdom, what I personally see is that the management of Chelsea lack wisdom, one can have a lot of money, but it takes wisdom to efficiently and effectively put that money on something that will yield  good result.

No wonder the bible says it That "money is a defence, and wisdom too is a defence, but the clear and ultimate difference is that; wisdom gives life to those that have it".

Those managing Chelsea lack wisdom, and that is what has put Chelsea in the place they are today, and I don't see them coming out from this in both this season and the next season .

Difficult times ahead. Looking at their long list of injured players, I can't help but think about the tough road Onana will face at Manchester United. It's probably a good moment to reconsider their defensive strategy, or else, ManU will keep facing defeat. They don't have a player who can turn the game around, and unfortunately, that's lacking in their current lineup.

Man United is experiencing a crisis of mentality, chemistry between players and trust in coach Ten Hag. In the end, The Red Devils dressing room was not controlled properly, which resulted in a decline in performance on the pitch. Egos among players run high, and coach Ten Hag policies seem to indicate the same. External scandals added to the complexity of the situation, and a storm of injuries to key players completed Man United's decline.

As for degradation i don't think so, if we continue to experience defeats it could be that Ten Hag togetherness will soon end at Old Trafford. If Ten Hag doesn't improve his squad with a different approach, I think the results will still not change. Bayern Munchen awaits in the UCL group phase, the pressure must be very intense for Ten Hag now.

A lot of strong players have left Chelsea, and Pochettino is now trying to make something out of what he has. Despite this, one gets the impression that the team is playing almost the same as it was under the leadership of Potter. In addition, a lot of Chelsea players are injured now, this also affects the results. Now we either need to wait until Pochettino can bring this squad to the proper level, which will probably take a lot of time, or a new transfer window, when he will be given some money to strengthen the team.

No wonder they say those that have head don't have cap to wear and those that have the cap doesn't have the head. I'm talking about Manchester United and Chelsea. If Erik has the quality type of players that is under Pochettino in Manchester United, he will undoubtfu win this season no matter what but he doesn't while Pochettino has all the good guys including the favorite that won the world cup but they are losing in the Premier league, to even say that some players were discarded from Chelsea to Manchester United still Chelsea is still under a stuck train station with coal to move in the table.

Manchester United will make a come back, in short the more I look at the situations of Manchester United and Chelsea, Manchester United will recover early than Chelsea only if they do that fast as the season is till early, winning two or three matches will make them recover sharply and if the top 4 begin there losses, it will be an advantage for them.

It is actually disappointing to see that Manchester united is just above Chelsea in the league table, Manchester is currently in the 13th position while Chelsea is in the 14th position, last week or last two weeks I suppose, Chelsea was among the top 10 in the league table, and Manchester united was even at a better position,  but now, this two clubs are just going down and down, I personally expected Manchester united to perform far better than they are currently doing, but anyways, fingers still crossed and hopefully, things could turn around for them as the game progresses .

Yes, the storm of injuries and several existing internal problems will make the players inconsistent in every match. Even the defeat against Brighton was very painful because Manchester United was so easy to beat at the Old Trafford stadium. In that match, Manchester United's game was really bad, even the good quality players in the team couldn't show their best form, this was because of their inconsistency before the match started.

Erik Ten Hag must re-stabilize the level of harmony within the Manchester United team. He had to do it immediately to be able to rise from the downturn that had happened to them. This week they will face Bayern Munich, of course Erik Ten Hag must be able to bring big changes to Manchester United in the Champions League competition. If they lose, perhaps Erik Ten Hag's position will be even more threatened.

Before the season started, it was predicted that Manchester United and Chelsea would provide competitive competition for Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool in fighting for the top four positions, but in reality they were unable to show their quality even though they had made major changes in the transfer market. Ten Hag and Pochettino are two coaches who are currently in the spotlight due to the negative results achieved by their teams. The positions of these two coaches are increasingly unclear and there are rumors that they will soon be removed from their positions to be replaced with other coaches.

Ten Hag and Pochettino must immediately give their best to the team they care for, they must improve their team's performance to achieve positive results. Victory is really needed to improve their team's position in the standings list as well as save their careers from the threat of dismissal.

I had doubts from the start when Man United played Brighton. And just now what I was thinking happened. They lost by a margin of 2 goals. Big changes have been brought about by Ten Hag, but there are some technical problems beyond his control. The injuries and punishments that Man United players got made them suffer. But I was indeed very impressed with Brighton's game. They have an ever-increasing game progress with smart transfers. From the comparison of last season's results, Man United until week five is worse.

To be honest, Manchester United is not performing well at all right now, and I don't believe they will finish well this year either. The team's efforts have been pitiful, and the players' performances have even led me to wonder if Manchester United itself may not be doing well. Manchester United needs to replace these players, as well as the team's coach, whom I hold responsible for the team's current state of affairs. After all, how can the coach demand that the team acquire new players when they failed to do so with any defensive players?

The primary cause of Manchester United's current situation is Erik ten Hag, who has dispersed the team's players. I fail to understand why he did not want to include Sancho in the team to perform this season, as the team desperately needs a player, particularly a defensive player. Manchester United lacks a defensive player, and the coach is doing nothing to address this situation. Maguire is not a defensive player, and if they continue to use Maguire, that defence position will remain poorly.

There was a little rotation that occurred in the Arsenal team and I think this was done by Arteta because Everton's quality was below them which allowed them to win easily in this match, but surprisingly Everton's game changed and they managed to compensate. the Arsenal team's game even though they lost by a narrow score.
However, this defeat is quite natural for Everton, because the quality of the two teams is very different and in my opinion, Everton has improved a lot in this match, especially its defensive line which has become more solid.
Meanwhile, on the other hand Arsenal continues its positive trend, This victory was quite important even though it was only a 1-0 victory.

it was a tough match match for the gunners and the first premier league win at Everton for the past six years as Leandro Trossard second half half-strike secured all three points at Godson Park, Everton who has played without a win this season had managed to frustrate the visitors who had Gabriel Martinelli goal ruled out for offside, with this win, unbeaten arsenal has joined Tottenham Liverpool on 13point from five games arsenal faced a huge week ahead with their return to the champions league, Everton might have hope that Arsenal might have been distracted by these impending dates but be ultimately unable to live with an Arsenal side that never hit top gear it was an incredible display of play from Arsenal.

Arteta and Arsenal are having good start, and they are already learning from their mistakes which they have done in last season even right now this all is too early but as they are giving their best we can expect another challenging season at the top but now in this season they are also having Champions League which is also not easy for them, but their performance is surely at the top, and we can expect another exciting season with full of wins and achievements for them and their fans this was tough fought win at Everton but still good as they were able to secure all three points and now still having spot into top four with next challenging match is going to play against Tottenham which is also having impressive start of the season and securing second spot after 13 points from five games.

Arsenal attack is solid but still not producing goals like we have from the Tottenham and Brighton which are doing impressive job and securing good number of win with good margin now lets wait how things will be gone in this big London derby.

I think Pochettino made a mistake by signing only young players. Most of the Chelsea players currently lack experience, which is really affecting them currently, and I don't really know how Pochettino is going to balance the team. I don't see any serious difference between Chelsea's performance this season and last season, they can't even win most of the small clubs that they are facing currently. How will they perform when playing against strong teams? I just hope Pochettino can find a solution to their current problem, or they might end up ending the season in a position that they don't really expect.

I guess you might be right about this, but it is still very early and don't forget that Manchester United also wasn't playing that well at the beginning of last season either.

But I think that we could see two of the giants struggle this year. For Chelsea it is already looking really bad and it doesn't as if they were able to correct the path they have taken so far whereas Manchester United is still hard to predict, but they could get into a negative trend that won't be easily stopped as there are also other teams playing quite strong like Brighton.

Alot of football fans are already writing Manchester united off because of the multiple in number of their players that are currently on injury and haven't played for a while now,  resulting I to the declining results that Manchester United have recorded in recent time in the premier league,  the club have put a lot of efforts in place but then situations have warrant the club to have failed out in their recent performance.

So at that we have to give the club enough time to come up with a formidable team that can stand against any oppositions that may come up along the line.

[snipie]

Ten Hag and Pochettino must immediately give their best to the team they care for, they must improve their team's performance to achieve positive results. Victory is really needed to improve their team's position in the standings list as well as save their careers from the threat of dismissal.

Ten Hag debut with Manchester United wasn't that successful in the last season but later he did pretty well with the team. This season, the same thing is being done, not a successful start and hopefully things will improve later.
For Pochettino, he isn't that lucky with the teams he managed and his experience with Chelsea right now is mediocre. After 5 rounds, Chelsea and Manchester United are sitting in the 13th and 14th places. The only teams behind them are prone to relegation
