Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[alpamar99]

Most premier league players who went to represent their countries at the world cup are all struggling to remain fit and avoid any possible injury since the premiere league will resume anytime some around January.

That applies to all players from all leagues not just in the Premier League all players have the same risk however some players took a break early
because they had already been eliminated like Manchester City almost all of its players have been out of the World Cup so they can more relax
Has any player in the Premier League been seriously injured after played for their country?

wait? what?
Manchester City sent 17 players to the world cup and a few days ago only KDB and Guendogan had rested earlier because they failed to bring Belgium and Germany to qualify for the play-off phase and today Zack Steffen, indeed the USA, was also eliminated.
Only 3 players have rested and there are 14 more Manchester City players still competing in the world cup, are these the majority? hmm

Howe's strategy in managing teamwork and bringing players to St. James' Park in transfers last winter was very good and this saw them experience a sizeable improvement in terms of performance.
On the other hand to say money is not wrong if money can change anything in this case because Newcastle is a new example now after Manchester City and PSG in Ligue 1.
But it will be very surprising for them to be in the top 4 straight away this season for me because I still thought from the start they would only finish in the top position but not in the top 4.

They are currently no longer a small club with how they have been playing this season
Theyb will fight hard for the top four but will not qualify
Arsenal City Tottenham and United will Maintain the first four position

I know about this but I still have the feeling that some of the big clubs who fell asleep at the start of the season will start differently after the break which makes me not so sure Newcastle are in the top 4 even though their chance is still there until now.
On the other hand, even though they currently have quite good players, I personally feel that for the individual quality of the players, they are still losing, although I realize this is not an individual but a collaborative problem, but this can also be a bit of an obstacle, I think.

The four teams will indeed maintain a good position this season until the end, but I also believe that Newcastle will put up a fierce fight to get a good position starting in the second half of the season. Because Newcastle's appearance and toughness this season have begun to be seen by the way they play, which has also begun to change, so that good achievements may be obtained by Newcastle this season.

I also think Bruno Fernandez is happy and enjoying his time at Manchester United and won't be open to moving from United just yet, maybe in the future a deal like that might happen but for now it seems very unlikely atleast not in this January window so Real Madrid will have to sort for other options in that position. Bruno Fernandez is having a good time in the world cup and catching eyes of top teams already.

Recently have interested rumor from Real Madrid to signing Bruno Fernandez after impressive performance on World Cup I don't think have positive respond from Fernandez, he was happy in several year with Manchester United although have change manager still include in starting eleven on every Manchester United matches. Unfortunately, Real Madrid is most top team in European and rejected for joining there become little mistake with large opportunity get trophy with Real Madrid than keep extended in Manchester United.

Looking on level competition, Real Madrid still play at Champion League and Manchester United right now participants on Europe League, I don't think become excited for Fernandez accepted Real Madrid as the new team for his career.

Ronaldo could still play in a great team, it is not going to be that much great, and I know that it will take a while before he could find the proper offer, but for the time being I would suggest not to sign a 2.5 year deal, just sign a deal for end of the year and when the year ends he could go somewhere else.

The problem is his age, nothing else, he is too old and that is the thing that creates all the problems for him. If he could end up with some good results for half a year anywhere in the world, USA or Arabia or Qatar, in the end he could come back, he just needs to show the world that he could still play at a high level and score very easily, and those teams are beneath him.

Even every one is going with different views and thoughts about Cristiano Ronaldo abilities, but now one thing is sure at the age of 37 he needs to be some calm which is surely important for his rest of the career now after exit from Manchester United we have too many rumours about his career with recent Saudi Arab offer is surely one of the best in soccer history, but surely this is not favourable for him because with this he can gain enough money but skills and performance could be decreased because we all know Saudi Arab soccer is having not quality which we have in Europe and with this he can end his career with really poor way which is never been ideal for the player like Cristiano Ronaldo.

I am optimistic about the fact that Newcastle United will finish in the top four this season with the way they've played so far.They are the only team I fear most this season,and when Arsenal will face them,it's really going to be a tough battle between two top sides.Manchester City is a strong side with a good coach,but I think the premier league clubs are beginning to master their pattern of play,and have known how to stop them from scoring.They have a top attacker in the person of Haaland,but very soon,England defenders will will put him on goal drought.
It will be my joy to see Arsenal win the league this season.

The more I reason the whole matter,  the more I believe that Newcastle United will be able to remain in the top four of the English Premier League. I say this because I have studied the playing pattern of Newcastle United and one unique thing about them is everybody is working hard, everybody is playing very good football, there is no one man that is in charge of the team. Even if any of the good players are injured there are other players who are ready to take the lead and fight for Newcastle United to the man at thet top four

If we look at the history of Newcastle's matches this season, more precisely from the start of the season to the first half. So of course I also think the same about Newcastle's advantage. They are now in 3rd place in the standings. and they can be ranked 3rd in the current table because they deserve it. even Newcastle have beaten Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston villa and everton. and can hold Manchester united draw. and Newcastle are more consistent in maintaining their best performance in every match they have played. we don't know what will happen when this season goes on. But I also think the same that Newcastle will be able to stay in the top 4 for quite a while. But I doubt if it's until the end of the season.

Manchester City got some unexpected results and this caused them to get away from Arsenal even more. But I still don't think this will change anything about Manchester City. It is true that their main goal is to win the Champions League title this season. Because they still haven't achieved even for once and this is one of the biggest opportunities for them with a squad like this.

But I don't think that their concentration on the Premier League will be affected negatively in the long-term. I think the title run between Arsenal and Manchester City will go on until the end which would make us happy about watching an exciting season. Hopefully Arsenal can win the title to see some different teams doing it.

With most chances they are having not enough interest into Premier League because their target for this season is clearly Champions League but still lost before break against team like Brentford is surely signal for them to improve their quality and performance which is important for them if they want to stay into good situation for the end of this season on high note.

Arsenal are clearly having good advantage and now with the gape of five points they are feeling better and trying to improve their squad strength which is important for them if they want alive into top spot at the end of this season.
 
Haaland's injury is also having some negativity on their performance even many feeling they are not having any problem with injury but things giving their reaction as they have Haaland on bench for the foot injury, hopefully this break will give some time for changing their strategy and having improved results for their title race.

Newcastle United does not depend on only one man to lead the battle for the team they believe in teamwork and each and every one of them are related to each other in the pitch and that is only what is needed to push a thing forward and not a one-man show. But so straight forward, Newcastle United has very good players unlike what you said. If you look at the team you will see players like Isak, St Maximin, Wilson, Guimares, Almiron etc. These are quality and greate players.

We have surprise package in this season with the amazing performance of Newcastle United because no one was expecting results like these right now they are at third spot and most chances they could be able to handle this after break as well because they have few good players even not big names but still quality players those are giving their best and can give good results for their team which will be first step for this club as new management is looking for the club like Manchester City and PSG.
 
Now in winter transfer window, they are having few plans hopefully they will try to have few big names as well because things looking impressive, and they can go into Champions League which could be best end of this season for them few are expecting we will be able to have Ronaldo here in Newcastle United but for all perfect updates just wait and watch.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo will never sign a contract with the Saudi Arabian club. When it comes to money, of course he already has everything. It's true that what he needs is to end retirement with a good result, so the possibility of joining a club in Europe is still open until now.

Does Newcastle only rely on motivation and strategy as Leicester City did a few years ago?

I asked the same question to myself also but it doesn't feel like this will be a similar season to the one Leicester became the champions. Newcastle have a much more difficult season ahead of them. Arsenal and Manchester City both are having a solid season now. Maybe Manchester City seemed a little inconsistent recently but I don't think this will affect their general performance badly. Arsenal and Manchester City are most likely to be left as the only contenders for the title at some point.

It will be a difficult path for Newcastle this season with this squad. They need to keep the motivation level as high as possible. Maybe they might add some players to the squad in January to stay strong for the rest of the season. The current performance level deserves the Champions League definitely by the way.

First of all, I want to appreciate Newcastle United for improving so much. I honestly do not know if it was expected of them by anyone. Well, after the money started coming in I think people did expect this type of improvement. But at least I did not think that they would be in the top four positions on the table after 15 matches. That is certainly an achievement in recent times for them.

And to answer the question, I think that they do rely on motivation and strategy. But at this point, I am willing to say that they have a few good enough players to back up the strategy that they are making which was probably not the case in the recent past for them.

I honestly did not think that Newcastle United would be in the top 3 of the league with only 1 defeat in the first 15 games. However, I want to say that they had a very successful 15 games. There were many matches where they won a draw instead of losing and left with 1 point. If they can prepare well between this world cup in the league, they can even finish in the top 4 at the end of the Premier League. This success is the success of the whole team and they deserve a big congratulations.

Basically this season is a continuation season for Newcastle to give a big surprise, because last season Newcastle was able to get out of the relegation zone and finally finished in the middle of the Premier League final standings last season. This season, Newcastle started from the middle of the standings and until finally they were in third place before the season break and their current position is even very close to Manchester City.
This is a very extraordinary increase because we can say this is a fast increase, even the increase that occurred at Newcastle they did not involve many famous players or star players.

With this rapid increase, of course, players who were not previously famous players will become stars and of course, these players will get increases and/or bonuses that will be received, especially about Almiron.
I think with Newcastle already in the top four, I'm sure they will be able to keep it up and will play in the Champions League next season. Therefore, in the upcoming transfer market I believe there will be at least a few star players in the Newcastle squad, because of course they will also create an even better squad to be able to compete strongly in the Champions League next season.

This is a very extraordinary increase because we can say this is a fast increase, even the increase that occurred at Newcastle they did not involve many famous players or star players.

This season is a continuation of the past one and the strength and competitiveness of Newcastle are increasing after each season. Their finance now is very strong with support from their new owners and they will have big budget for each transfer season. Good results in this season will be attractive for star players who want to participate in both rich and competitive clubs. It's clearly that star players want to receive high salary from their works but they also want to win titles.

What Newcastle achieved in a half of past season and this one are faster than what Manchester City had to wait for a few seasons to join top four.

I think with Newcastle already in the top four, I'm sure they will be able to keep it up and will play in the Champions League next season. Therefore, in the upcoming transfer market I believe there will be at least a few star players in the Newcastle squad, because of course they will also create an even better squad to be able to compete strongly in the Champions League next season.

With high competitiveness of Premier League, I don't think Newcastle will be able to stand in top four for every season. They will be in and out of top four of Premier League because other clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester City are too much for only four positions.

Newcastle's performance this season has surprised everyone. They have won their last 5 matches. And I forget the last time they lost a match. With no star players in the squad, Newcastle has been able to play consistently well. Newcastle is performing well as a team. And full credit to Newcastle's coach for this remarkable performance. If Newcastle adds some talented players in the next winter transfer they will be stronger and will try to win the title.

[Pokapoka124]

The fight for the top four position is still open for every other team in the premier league, Newcastle United already have taken a place in the top four and sitting in third position above Chelsea, Manchester united and Tottenham already. There are transfer rumors of Harry Kane moving to Bayern Munich? How true is it? Well seeing Harry Kane switching sides wouldn't be a bad move after all.

[safari88]

The gap from Arsenal to Manchester City is secretly already 5 points. I actually like it quite a lot. Newcastle is also only 2 points behind, but they have played a game more. I don't think Newcastle can hold on to this 3rd place. And whether Arsenal can continue to maintain the high level is also the question. Brighton in particular would not be thought to be in 7th place after 14/15 rounds. United 11 points behind Arsenal, it's almost impossible to close that gap. Arsenal's next game is at home against fellow townsman West Ham United. We shouldn't expect miracles from this either.

[SatoPrincess]

The job Newcastle have done so far is really extraordinary for the team. I bet that the board or even the players weren't expecting themselves to be this much successful this season. Because they are in a really tough competition with the teams that have much stronger squads than Newcastle. It is of course an advantage for Newcastle that many other big teams are having inconsistent days in the league. But we must definitely appreciate the work Newcastle are doing in the meantime.

Maybe they don't have a very impressive squad at the moment due to not having much success in the Premier League for a long time. But even with the latest transfers they are able to win some big matches as well. If they keep up this performance until the end of the season their chance to bring top players will rise a lot. Joining the Champions League would play a key role in this of course.

It is still a surprise to me how well Newcastle have been performing this season and I believe even the players and staff will be surprised with the team's progress. The takeover definitely played a major role in the improvement of the team and with the signings from recent transfers the team is performing better and now able to compete with the league's top clubs.

I also don't believe why they can play so impressive without a star player what is the main factor in your opinion? is it because of the coach's strategy?
Newcastle did not put one of the players on the top score list but so far they have scored 29 goals also unbeaten in the last 10 matches
Does Newcastle only rely on motivation and strategy as Leicester City did a few years ago?

Newcastle now have quite some already made players, by that I mean already recognised and top performance players like Isak, Trippier, who have all come in and improved the team immediately. I'm pretty sure the new signings are the reason for the change in performance of the Newcastle players. Newcastle are building a solid team and they have shown that they can compete with the big clubs in the league. I'm sure the big teams in the league will be looking out for Newcastle as a top four contender this season.

There are transfer rumors of Harry Kane moving to Bayern Munich? How true is it? Well seeing Harry Kane switching sides wouldn't be a bad move after all.

So far, Harry Kane has always been linked with two giant clubs from the Bundesliga and La Liga. however, the rumor mill closest to getting Kane is Bayern Munich. but according to several reports from Spain that I read, Harry Kane remains on Real Madrid's radar. there are many options that are still possible for Kane to join El Real or Die Bayern. we will find out later, after this world cup is over.

speaking of Newcastle, Rddie Howe's team performed brilliantly in the Premier League. Newcastle, is able to occupy the 3rd place in the English league standings. even so, I doubt they will perform consistently after the Premiere League returns. The battle for the top four positions is still wide open, I'm quite optimistic that Man United will occupy 3 or 4 positions until the end of this mission. I'm not sure for Chelsea, but they still have a chance to finish in the top four.

If arsenal have been very consistent with their performance from the beginning of the season till this time with no struggling I'm very it is still possible with them to maintain their performance. The premier league is between arsenal and Manchester City,  that's the only team that can take arsenal position.
