Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Jody.Drummer]

I don't think Klopp wants to consider Lukaku because Lukaku seems not suitable with Liverpool game style. Liverpool is looking for a typical player that has a similar characteristic as Mane and Lukaku is clearly not the right option. Nunez is a good option to replace Mane's role in Liverpool squad although his transfer fees are quite expensive. And Nunez is still a young player who can play a long time.

Lukaku is a good player but the EPL is not a friendly enough league for this player, how many clubs has he been to and only at Everton did he play well but for big teams like Chelsea and Manchester United he can't do much there.

His vision of the game doesn't really match Liverpool, why should it be forced, even though in this case Liverpool still have many options for attackers but I don't think Klopp will make a choice for him, especially for Nunez, soon the contract talks will be completed.

The premier league title race next season looks like it is going to be tougher than we thought in terms of the number of teams that will actually compete for the title, at the end of last season pundits were already making conclusions that it is going to be a two horse race between Liverpool and City yet again next season, while it looks very possible to happen, i wouldn't be completely sure about it.

The big six are really going to strengthen their squad this summer, though that doesn't make all of them automatic title contenders, United for example are going to buy some good players this summer i am sure, but there is no way they are going to win the EPL. I think we are going to have a three horse race for the title next season between City, Liverpool and Chelsea, what do you think?

I think the same as what you think, but the competition next is the same as before, the domination club will appear after week 20 or middle of the competition. We can't guess the club who is in the top between that week because clubs like Newcastle or Fulham (promotion) will definitely fight and maybe will be top 6 between that week. If the black horse comes like Leicester sometime ago, We can't see City, Liverpool and Chelsea will have more hard time to compete for each other.

Besides the fact that Lukaku has proved to be a very unstable player... we must remember that he arrived at Chelsea as one of the great strikers in world football. After shining with the Milan shirt, Chelsea paid 113 million euros for him, however he ended up being a disappointment, would Liverpool be different? It is risky to make this prediction.
I think a more certain destination for Lukaku would be to return to Milan.

Lukaku is a good player but it seems he does not play well in Premier League. In Serie A, at least in Inter Milan, he can play better than in Premier League with Manchester United and Chelsea. However, we also know that in Premier League, Lukaku revived his career in West Brom

I still have feeling that it is not about Premier League but about the tactic of a team he is playing in. So in rest of his career (he is no longer young),  he must be careful to choose a club to play for. It can be a club in Premier League or Serie A but tactic is what Lukaku must look at as his first priority.

If there are rumors that say that Lukaku will join Liverpool, I will not respond to these rumors, because Lukaku is not the type of player that Jorgen Klopp wants, because Jürgen Klopp only wants players who can move and can run after and pick up the ball, according to I think Lukaku is more suitable to play in the Italian league, because the pattern of the Italian league game often applies one or two games and is not too draining like the English league,
Most likely Lukaku will rejoin Inter Milan.

If Chelsea stick with existing players next season, then it is a bit of a ridiculous thing because it is clear Chelsea will not be able to compete with their opponents next season although Chelsea's overall performance this season is also not too bad, but for this season The future clearly still needs new players to cover the shortcomings they have this season in order to compete optimally in several leagues next season.

Are you forgetting that the existing players excluding Rudiger are the same players that won us the champions League last two season. Lukaku destroyed the system, him coming into the team, slowed the attacking threat. I preferred Chelsea when nobody was happy playing us. The season when we won Manchester city three times and even took the champions league title from them. What happened in this just concluded season was Lukaku coming in (wrong signing) and our Left & right back getting injuries that took them out of the tournament for a decent amount of week to cause us to lose grip of the title.

Chelsea still have many options for midfield and defender positions. In my opinion, Chelsea is not optimal in attacking positions because the arrival of Romelu Lulaku does not play much of a role, so Kai Havertz becomes the focus of Chelsea's attack even though his original position is not a center forward.

Imagine Liverpool lost both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, do you think they would had perform as they did. Next season, Chilwell and James will be fully fit and hopeful injuries doesn't cause us to lose them again or our season will be destroyed.

That's where the greatness of Chelsea. When their wing-back positions (Ben Chilwell and Reece James) were injured, the Blues could still replace other players of the same quality. However, if Liverpool lose Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, it is not necessarily that other players have the same quality in that position.

I think Lukaku still can exist on Primer League because he was success before with  Everton, I don't see difficult faced by Lukaku with Primer League but also he not get good touch with Thomas Tuchel as manager for Chelsea. He ask to Chelsea manager try to go back to Inter Milan next season but not have any respond from Inter Milan to buy back Lukaku after not really good performance on this season. We need waiting second season Lukaku on Primer League and see how most active contribution for Chelsea, will scoring many goals in next season or keep still with drop performance from Lukaku.

That's why I said he is a good player but the EPL is not the right team. It's the same as Pogba, who can't be said that he doesn't fit very well at United but is very good at Juventus.

Returning to Inter will also be difficult because of price and salary issues that Inter will not be able to agree on and Chelsea also clearly don't want to give this player away because the price at the time of purchase is really expensive.

[Fesatmas]

He's not even on the radar right now for Liverpool and if you look at his potential and form from last season it's clear that Nunez has the upper hand at the moment especially he's still very young and still has big opportunities.

Liverpool may have several lists of players on the radar of the transfer market this year, but Nunez seems to be the main choice because Liverpool offer a high contract and bonuses for the next five years, the value of the contract offered can cause jealousy for Liverpool main players because salaries can compete with Salah. So even though Nunez rating has increased but I don't think Liverpool need to offer a contract that is too high because I believe Nunez will be proud to be joining the Reds.

They have a long plan with Nunez so they dare to charge a high price. I'm sure Liverpool have reasons for that, the potential he has lured Liverpool to sign him for quite a long time. But surely with that Nunez has to pay with the game he deserves, which can be more convincing Liverpool did not choose him wrong.

The premier league suits him well by the way, the issues he had at Manchester United was clearly he's first touch on the ball and he's positioning, he left for Inter Milan and got that all fixed up,after the one glory he had over Inter Milan, he thought it'll be a great comeback to the premier league to represent he's boyhood club Chelsea.

But, they ( Chelsea ) at th moment are currently not playing to he's strength another big issue is that he is a left footed player and not really flexible and do stuff's swiftly. Chelsea are also not creating enough chances for h, he is not the kind of player that works or gets goals himself, the midfielder's and wingers have to do that to lay the Ball and Boom! He scores.

Darwin Núñez has given very impressive performances throughout last season and that attracted interest from Liverpool, I think it is very reasonable because at the age of 22 he deserves a long-term contract because it will be very profitable for Liverpool if he is able to put in a very good performance, and I believes that Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp will be able to make Núñez even more developed at Liverpool. in terms of the price and the high salary, I think it is suitable for a talented young player like Darwin Núñez.

If look at his performance with Benfica, it's not bad, even Nunez has become one of the best players in the Portuguese league this season. So I think nunez will pay Liverpool with his performances to match
On the other hand, Darwin Nunez has contributed 10 goals in UCL competition with his team, it's stunning. Besides that Liverpool are thirsty for the UCL title, if there is an agreement between liverpool and nunez, so liverpool don't have to worry that nunez will get used to the UCL competition and will quickly adapt to the premier league with liverpool

Until now I have not seen any new players that Manchester United are targeting, whether they are working in silence or are they still looking for players if they really need it. They have to act fast for the transfer market because if they slow down, they could lose the players they want because they lose quickly to other clubs.

Actually they seem to be still after Barcelona's young midfielder Frenkie de Jong recently. However bringing him can cost them incredible amount of money for them too. We are talking about a price like 80 million euros for example. Manchester United still seem to be determined about this transfer though as they really need a player who can play as a defensive midfielder.

The big money that Chelsea spent to bring Romelu Lukaku back from Inter Milan was not in line with the expectations they had hoped for. Lukaku did not appear as ferocious as when he was still strengthening Inter Milan, due to his declining performance, Lukaku warmed the bench more because he was not included in Thomas Tuchel's first-team squad.

Due to Lukaku poor appearance, Chelsea did not object to Lukaku desire to return to Inter Milan. But Chelsea don't want to suffer losses if Lukaku returns to Inter Milan, of course Chelsea will try various options because of the large funds spent when repatriating Lukaku. One of them is the option of swapping players to be a path that Chelsea can take before allowing Lukaku to leave Stamford Bridge.

I think Liverpool will not be wrong at all if they choose Nunez for the long term because he is still very young and Nunez also has very good performances in football. He comes from Uruguay who also graduated from a very good football academy so Liverpool will get a lot of strength if they can get a young player like Nunez for next season because other clubs are currently also eyeing young players like Nunez.

Actually quite a lot of players have been linked with Man United in the transfer market, but indeed Man United was more focused on getting
Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona. Erik ten Hag seems to want to find a replacement for Paul Pogba, who is certain to leave Man United this year
after his contract with Man United ended. Frenkie de Jong is expected to replace Pogba in the Man United midfield, and also Erik ten Hag is
very familiar with De Jong's game, because De Jong and Ten Hag worked together when they were at Ajax.

The problem is that Barcelona wants a fairly high transfer fee if Man United is really interested in buying Frankie de Jong. We'll see if Man United
are willing to pay a high enough transfer fee to get Frenkie de Jong. Whereas previously Man United spent quite a lot of money by buying Jadon Sancho
from Dortmund, but Sancho's performance was not as expected. So learn from Sancho's buying mistakes, it seems that Man United will be more
careful when they buy De Jong, if Barcelona asks for a high transfer fee I am sure Man United will withdraw it.

I think actually Manchester United have a fairly even squad, but somehow with the squad they have their performance is ruined. Erik Ten Hag has to lay the foundations from scratch I think by motivating the players and changing their playing style. Because I see Manchester United still have a problem with it. ETH must be firm.

I haven't heard any transfer news other than De Jong, actually they are moving quite slowly. Currently, many teams have taken action to make transfers, but Manchester does not seem to be working on this situation.
They wanted to get Darwin Nunez but they couldn't get him either and Liverpool did. Let's see what kind of names they are interested in in the coming days

La Liga and Premier League are different and will De Jong want to take risk to join Premier League? I know he is smart enough to smell the risk when he looks at his ex-teammate, Donny Van de Beek have been struggling in Manchester United through three coaches, Solskjaer, Carrick and Ragnick. No good position, no future for Donny in Old Trafford. I guess the same scenario can happen with De Jong in Old Trafford if he plays here.

Darwin Nunez will be a player reserved for striker position and he is not a midfielder like De Jong so we can not compare De Jong and Nunez. In my opinion, Nunez will prefer to choose Liverpool because he can win titles with them rather than facing unknown future with Manchester United.
