Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Jatiluhung]

Chelsea and Manchester United are having equal chances of entering the European zone, they are both performing poorly, and from the matches they have both played lately, I don’t see any difference between them. But I can say Chelsea performance is improving, even as they lose their last match. Pochettino is still trying to work on Chelsea, he should be given time. Before the season ends, he will have discovered the appropriate squad that he will be using. I am sure Chelsea won’t be going to the relegation zone, their performances haven’t really gotten worse to that extent. As we can see, Pochettino is just trying to rebuild Chelsea. I am sure that with time, Chelsea's performance is going to improve. I just hope it’s going to be soon.

I know there are 28 matches remaining before the league ended but i am quite pesimistic Chelsea and Manchester United will be able to entering European zone especially Manchester United have already lose 5 times and Chelsea also still hard struggle to entering top 10 and for Chelsea their performance were very unpredictable and it's hard to predict their matches results because for each matches Chelsea performance was very unstable
Some people doubt Chelsea and Manchester United will finish at top 5 even so with me besides they still unable to find their consistency other teams such as Liverpool, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Liverpool had same target just like them and the performance of these teams is much better than them  

I also have the same doubts about this. Because the teams that fill the top 5 positions currently look more convincing. I don't know how but I feel the top 5 teams will now be able to maintain their position for much longer.

The season is still long. But Man United and Chelsea currently do not appear to have experienced any significant changes. Maybe Chelsea will improve a little. But that's only when facing ordinary teams. Holding Arsenal to a draw is indeed a good sign for Chelsea. But I still have doubts if I have to hope that Chelsea will enter the top 5. A ranking of 6 to 10 is possible. But being in 5th place is still something I can't imagine given their current performance.

But for Man United it might still happen. Because their current position is much closer than Chelsea. But if Man United doesn't immediately improve their performance. So I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea actually overtakes them in the standings in the next few weeks.

Regardless of the previous games played by Manchester United. I feel they have higher chances in going to Europa league than Chelsea. My reason is because when it comes to scoring goals. Manchester United score more goals than Chelsea and they have better strikers to do the job. And these goals are what giving a bigger opportunity to secure the three points. Almost all Chelsea matches apart form a few. Chelsea do struggle to score a goal. What am saying in essence is that at any point in time. Manchester can move up in the league table, they just need more tactical analysis that will make them score more goals and go up in the premier league table. The chances of Chelsea are low. Remember the few clubs Chelsea has played with so far are smaller clubs apart from Arsenal, when they get to meet other teams like Brighton, Newcastle even they could not win Brentford.

[bayu7adi]

Arsenal's match against Newcastle is quite difficult to predict and Arsenal are much more favorites because so far they have not been defeated in the Premier League. Arteta needs to be careful because they will visit Newcastle's headquarters so it will not be easy for them to get full points because Newcastle also does not want to accept defeat at home.

If Newcastle can secure a victory against Manchester United tomorrow in the Carabao Cup, it will certainly boost the home team's morale at St James' Park before their match against Arsenal.

.
I don't know, but I rarely see big teams playing seriously for Carabao. However, Newcastle actually has a greater chance of winning than Man United. Yes, everyone knows that Man United's condition is currently very bad. In fact, I'm sure Newcastle's style of play will be more varied than Man United when the match starts.

Honestly, I can't enjoy the current style of play. Even the 3 Man United midfielders seem to want to have the number 10 shirt because they focus on the attack line and cannot effectively carry the ball from the defenders to the strikers. Bruno Fernandes is very obsessed with goals and forgets about defense. The new squad that Ten Hag brought in was still completely out of control by playing a long ball style like an underdog team.

I still see a win for Newcastle in this match.

I also have the same doubts about this. Because the teams that fill the top 5 positions currently look more convincing. I don't know how but I feel the top 5 teams will now be able to maintain their position for much longer.

But for Man United it might still happen. Because their current position is much closer than Chelsea. But if Man United doesn't immediately improve their performance. So I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea actually overtakes them in the standings in the next few weeks.

Chelsea holding top two teams Liverpool and Arsenal but inconsistent when facing small or mediocre teams after losing from Brentford last match, current this season still too long and Chelsea have 28 matches left with potential many coins achievement but they will face many top teams next matches. If not change significant with current composition I doubt Chelsea will finish on higher standings position this season and looks Manchester United have poor performed this season like Chelsea.
Man United have three points behind Chelsea but they have left many points with Tottenham Hotspur on top position, due have important matches in Champion League there are not difference position between Chelsea and Manchester United will absent for participating in European competition next season as Champion League or Europe League.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but to me Chelsea and Manchester united form now is nothing to write home about as the both teams are inconsistent, matches that they can easily win they will either draw or lose the match you now begin to think how their performance will be when they start meeting most of the teams that are currently in form now.

[Rockstarguy]

We've seen the mess that Todd Boehly and the former Chelsea coach helped create. If you want to clean it up or turn it into something cohesive, you have to… slowly. Chelsea is the team that has spent the most money in recent transfer periods, but the results on the field are not commensurate with the investment. Currently, although Chelsea is poor, coach Pochettino's position is temporarily guaranteed. We need to give him time to find a way to lead the team to victory. It can be said that Chelsea is making significant changes this summer and needs time to stabilize. We should wait and see.

Yeah that's right, Chelsea have done their best by recruiting some expensive players and replaced several coaches but the results did not match expectations so I agree Chelsea just need time to adjust everything and find the strategy and rhythm of the game. We know Pochettino has ability but currently he cannot implement the strategy well for several reasons basically he still has time until the end of the season.

I still have the believe that Chelsea will be better this season,  the few games they have played in this season is better than the result of their games in last season.  Chelsea has more confidence in their games now , I know with time they will become a better squad. I don't want to use the last performance of chelsea game to conclude how their coming game will look like. Pochettino needs to try the best he can to make sure his boys put more efforts in their game , he has more role to play to transform the team to gain better results in their games, that is why if things keeps bad for Chelsea he will be held accountable.

[Xcode7]

They still have time but they could not play well in their first 10 matches and no guarantee that they will play better in rest 28 matches in Premier League. This season sees a growth of Tottenham Hotspur while Arsenal and Newcastle United still maintain their good performances. If Manchester United and Chelsea won't improve themselves soon, they will fall too deep on the table and it's hard for them to enter Top four months later.

I don't think that the Manchester United and Chelsea teams can climb to the top 4 of the Premier League standings this season, at the start of the season it was clear that their performance was quite bad and inconsistent, there is a possibility that they can recover but I don't think that will happen. significant, especially since the top teams in the Premier League standings currently have very strong and consistent strength.
Manchester United and Chelsea just need to improve so that they don't fall too deep and make better progress for their teams in the future.

We should not forget Liverpool are coming back to not only top area of Premier League but also are actually fighting for the league title. So let me count some clubs that are playing well and competitors for top four: Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Newcastle United. There are five clubs already and if we count Manchester United and Chelsea, there will be at least seven clubs in this race, just only to top four.

I have eliminated Manchester United and Chelsea in my calculations, Tottenham, Man City, Arsenal are strong teams while Liverpool are also in good condition after they managed to recover and improve from their downturn last season.
I think Liverpool are back and they will compete fiercely in the race for the title this season.

[rendravolt]

Mikel Arteta commented on the injury suffered by Gabriel Jesus and said that he did not have a definite time until Gabriel Jesus would be able to return to the field and he felt guilty because this happened again. I think Arsenal currently really needs the figure of Gabriel Jesus to continue to dominate the top flight and also secure every victory with certainty. Moreover, in the next match they have to face Newcastle and of course their attack line will not be as sharp as before. But I am quite hopeful that with the increase in performance experienced by Eddie Nketiah after scoring a hat trick last week, he will again be the focus of the team so that victory is no longer in doubt for Arsenal.

[Despairo]

I still see a win for Newcastle in this match.

I also think so, even Newcastle not win, at least the match end in draw. Manchester United will play with a same player until the end of this month, since there's no change in the squad, it's also resulting no change in results.

Although Newcastle is missing of their three good players e.g. Isak, Tonali and Botman, but they still have few other players that play not too bad than them.

This will always be a debate, keep Pochettino until he can finally bring Chelsea to the top like Arteta did where it took several seasons to make Arsenal what it is today or fire him immediately because it turns out there are several coaches who are able to change the team's situation quickly, for example, Unai Emery in Aston Villa, because, since their arrival last season, this team has become much better, they don't even need to be like Chelsea, who spent hundreds of millions of euros in the transfer market, or Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, even though some predict that Tottenham will slowly start to decline, but at least until now without having to go through seasons, the new coach managed to make Tottenham perform better and at least lead the standings, so all the decisions taken by Chelsea management will greatly influence the change of the team for the better or vice versa.

It’s no news that Manchester United and Chelsea are not in a good form at the moment. For me, Chelsea stands above Manchester United. Pochettino is trying to blend a squad filled with so many young players and it will take time for them to gel. So I understand why Chelsea are still struggling. But for Manchester United, I don’t watch their games anymore. As a team they are lost, they lack confidence. Manchester United depends on luck to win games. They have now lost five of their opening 10 league games this season, and their style of play has been called into question by fans. Too much is going on with Manchester United, both internal and on the pitch. I don’t know why the manager hasn’t been able to fix these things and get the club back in a proper shape like of last season. We saw a style of play with one twos, one touch passing, overlapping runs and possession build up from the back last season. This season is moving backwards, with no style at all despite giving him the players he wanted.

Although Newcastle is missing of their three good players e.g. Isak, Tonali and Botman, but they still have few other players that play not too bad than them.

These are cup matches, and I often see that coaches can give the main players a rest, since they have a fairly busy schedule in the Premier League and European Cups. Therefore, I don’t see any point in making any forecasts, much less bets, until you see the starting lineups for this game. I already see that it is difficult for Newcastle to play in two tournaments, and Manchester United is going through difficult times, and ten Hag needs at least some positive.

Arsenal will be able to attack Newcastle in the same manner as before. Although I am aware that Gabriel Jesus is among Arsenal's best players and that he always shows up to ensure the team wins, Jesus has made Arsenal proud and is still happy there. I also think he has a lot more games left to play for Arsenal, but since he is currently not in good health, we should be aware that Arsenal can still perform without him. Let's examine Arsenal's performance against Sheffeild United. Despite Gabriel Jesus's absence from the game, Arsenal defeated Sheffeild United with five goals. This shows that Arsenal can still defeat teams in the absence of Gabriel Jesus.

While it is true that Arsenal has a crucial game this weekend against Newcastle, who is a formidable team that has been playing well this season, based on my observations of Arsenal's performance, I don't think Newcastle can overcome Arsenal. Regarding Arsenal, they have a talented striker which is Nekitiah, who scored hat tricks against Sheffeild United. I think that Nekitiah will continue to score goals since those goals will serve as motivation for him to score more.

Erik Ten Hag have another opportunity to make it right for his club after humiliating defeats against ManchesterCity at Old Trafford, I hope he's fully ready to take on Eddie Howe tonight. We know the high probability of the Magpies winning the Red Devils in today's game. Forecasting a draw match, I don't think is the right thing to do, rather play odds on the number of goals to be score. Manchester united versus Newcastle will take place tonight. What are the actions we expects from both sides and who will qualify for the next stage?

Chelsea has spent a lot of money to recruit several player this season but in fact Chelsea performanced this season is not much different from last season, Pochettino has not made any significant changes to this clubs, I wonder why Chelsea is not as consistentcy as this after successfully hold Arsenal to a draw In the previous match, I thought Chelsea had started to recover and would play better than before, but it turned out that Chelsea lost when they hosted Brentford and Chelsea couldn't even score a goal in that match, so Chelsea was forced to lose points in that match.

It's weird if you judge someone performance base on one match, you need to look the bigger picture. Sometime luck happens in football, just like how weakest team can beat the strongest team. But I'm sure if there are 10 matches, only 1-2 match(s) that the weakest team won.

Chelsea is still a weak team, they're still waiting Nkunku to comeback.

[BRINIRHA]

But when we see Chelsea able to hold Arsenal to a draw, doesn't that mean that Chelsea actually has the potential to be stronger if they are in the best condition and performance. just like against Arsenal. At that time Chelsea seemed to be in their best performance. Chelsea even took the lead from the first half with a score of 1-0 and then increased their lead at the start of the second half.
From this alone, I see that there is very good potential that these Chelsea players have. Now it's just a matter of how Pochettino can build the players' confidence and create the best strategy. Actually, if only Nkunku hadn't been injured then I think Chelsea wouldn't be this bad. Because Nkunku's injury has damaged the strategy that Pochettino had tried in pre-season, which was actually very good. But after Nkunku was injured, Pochettino really struggled to come up with a new strategy.

Maybe this is just my hunch. But I feel that if Pochettino can be Chelsea coach longer and is given more freedom and time then I think this man will be able to build the Chelsea squad a little better gradually.

A tough task is indeed being faced by Pochettino. At the beginning of this season he did not experience many good transfers. In addition, Pochettino started the season with many injuries. One of them is Nkunku, it looks like he is Pochettino's project but he has a knee injury and has not played the first game. Though Pochettino expects him to be a source of goals for Chelsea. Against Brentford, he was without Mudryk and Enzo, so the defeat seems to have been due to injuries.

Since it is a league cup, both teams can play with reserve-based squads. In this case, both teams are likely to score balanced scores. Manchester United has an advantage because it plays at home. Maybe ETH will take this match more seriously and put their main team on the field. After all, a defeat could unseat him. His future is at risk now.

This is a difficult match to predict... Usually League matches are different from Cup matches... By the way the schedule is easier for Man U than Newcastle... Newcastle will play against Arsenal and Dortmund next games... So I think Man U will win, but my bet is that both teams will score...
