Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Baki202]

I think Manchester United are still caught in the web of last season's struggles and coach Erik Ten Hag has not found the way out yet and this doesn't really tell good of the club's future because everybody thought the club would have navigated out the the stormy weather after participating so vigorously in the transfer market bringing in new players whom we thought were going to change the club's fortunes around for good. As it is right now, Manchester United have only played 3 games losing two already with just a win, so in my opinion I don't think they are ready to compete yet.

With the exception of their match against Liverpool, Manchester United has not been performing well. I simply expected that they would be able to do more, and their supporters had a lot of faith in them to do well this season. Since nothing is going as planned, I'm wondering what action Ten Hag will take next, as I don't think he expects things to actually work according to plan. Ten Hag is acting as though he has no idea what to do, so it appears that he has tried everything and is still receiving the same outcome. It's possible that the management won't give him another chance. There are still a lot of factors that affect the club's performance, and even if the player is good, they might not feel comfortable in the new environment. In addition, there is no guarantee that the player will be able to perform well if there is a lack of teamwork, especially since Manchester United has not performed well since Ronaldo was there.

Team	Point
Man. City	9
Liverpool	9
Brighton	7
Arsenal	7
Newcastle	7
Brentford	6
Aston Villa	6
Bournemouth	5
Nottingham Forest	5
Tottenham	4
Chelsea	4
Fulham	4
West Ham	3
Man. United	3
Leicester	1
Crystal Palace	1
Ipswich Town	1
Wolves	1
Southampton	0
Everton	0

The table is taking shape, it's a shame the team I like, Leicester, is only one point away

In the first 3 weeks, it was clear that there were teams that could win all the matches and that was something that made us predict that those were the teams that could compete closely later. But of course the predictions will not be completely correct, especially since there are still many matches to be played, so it is possible that it will change as the competition progresses.
There are teams that can improve and there are teams that actually decline and we don't know which team will experience what. But for the top teams that are used to being in the competition, we will definitely believe more that they will be able to do the same, at least they have the strength to do that, although sometimes there are also those among them who have to decline.

Arsenal was not lucky enough during this season and they recently lost their player Mikel Merino who he joined this team just a few days ago. Mikel Merino was the player Arteta wanted to hire him and he tried to get Mikel Merino ready for the games in this season.
He left Real Sociedad and started playing for Arsenal to have the chance to play in strong teams. But in the first training session in Arsenal, he got injured and it seems Merino's going to be out for 2 months.

I don't know what happened to Merino at this time but I hope his fate will not be like  Timber last season who had to be absent for quite a long time due to injury even though he had just been recruited from ajax, Losing Merino of course  will be big blow for Arsenal at this time and will clearly affect their performance  in the next match, Merino still hasn't played his debut match but he suffered an injury when Declan Rice also received a red card and had to miss several Arsenal matches, so this will of course make Arteta a little confused, especially since they only have Jorginho as a midfield backup except Maybe Arteta will plot Zincenko as DM or CM as a precaution, Merino injury and Declan Rice absence will clearly be a loss for Arsenal and this will be a challenge for Arteta to be able to maintain their consistency in the next match.

How do Manchester United fans feel today? I think they are still sad.

The endless defeats against Liverpool feel much more painful and it must be repeated every season. Thinking that Manchester United can win is a mistake and they keep making mistakes that make them look very bad. One incident that made me dejavu was the ridiculous defense against Brighton happened again against Liverpool and we could see Szoboslai and Luiz Diaz so free before he finally scored a goal with a header.

On the other hand, we can see that Arne Slot is much better than Erik ten hag especially in his first season handling Liverpool he did not make major player changes and still used the same squad as in the Jurgen Klopp era. I think the Red Devils will remain like this and Erik ten hag's overconfident tactical mistakes destroyed the team he handled himself.

I also think Manchester United fans must be sad to see their support team still not playing well and at the beginning of this season only won 1 time, namely against Fulham with a score of 0-1 and the last 2 matches of course against Brighton and Liverpool Manchester United lost and of course this will definitely make Manchester United fans sad.

It was indeed very funny when Manchester United played against Brighton and Liverpool because at that time Manchester United's defense still looked weak, but when playing against Brighton of course if the Manchester United players were not offside it would have made the score potentially draw. Yes, when playing against Liverpool, of course I also saw the Manchester United players' defense was so empty that Liverpool's attack was very difficult for Manchester United to withstand and Diaz really seemed to enjoy it because Manchester United's defense was not good.

Yes, of course Arne Slot is very good because he can make Liverpool better and of course Arne Slot can be said to have succeeded in continuing Klopp's struggle and of course when compared to Erik ten hag, of course Arne Slot seems better but of course this season is still early and of course we will see how Erik ten hag's struggle will be whether it makes Manchester United better or not.

[Frankolala]

Well, it looks like this has to be done. It's not just a change in players, but I don't think this club can continue to keep Ten Hag if bad results repeat themselves this season. I think the root of the problems at this club lies in the existence of a competition system between players within the squad itself. All players compete to attract more attention to get more plays or something like that. This competition brings quite visible pressure. Where sometimes the players seem to play uncomfortably. And sometimes their teamwork doesn't seem so good. The chemistry in the team looks quite weak. Maybe if there are big changes in the squad then there will indeed be a better improvement. But let's see first whether MU will improve this season or not. The season is still long and I think we have to give this squad more time.

Ten Hag has had a very difficult start and as expected he has received a lot of negativity about it, negative statistics are published where he is the second worst coach in the club's history who has played more than 100 matches, where the percentage of lost matches is about 28%, and bookmakers are giving low odds (about 4) that he has the highest chance of being the first coach to be sacked in the new season in the Premier League. So if the team does not start winning, anything can happen.

Ten Hag should have been fired before the season started. Then the new coach would have had ample time and opportunity to work and experiment with the squad. At the moment I don't think Manchester United's performance will improve even if Ten Hag is sacked. Even if a new coach takes charge of this troubled team, the performance of this team will remain erratic for some time.

But if Ten Hag can't do well then maybe Manchester United management can decide to fire him quickly. Manchester United's performance is very poor with Ten Hag. He even changes the match strategy every match. It is difficult to predict in which match this team will perform well. Betting on Manchester United and Chelsea matches is very risky.

I don't think that Ten Hag has any strategy in mind or to use and thay is why you see that he is always changing strategy and making a mess of the players on the field as of they don't know what they are doing.

It will be better if the management fires Ten Hag and try someone but if they don't have any good coach in mind that is better than Ten Hag I don't see any reason why they should fire him. All they can do is to give him more time to see if he will improve and look for a good coach to replace him if he doesn't.

[hahay]

Yes, it must be done by Chelsea because Nicolas Jackson himself is one of Chelsea main attacking players and can play well, last season his performance was very prominent with Chelsea even though it was his first season.
He is still quite young and his position with Chelsea is very much needed, if he can be developed well and has more experience then in the future Nicolas Jackson can become very sharp and dangerous front line player, but on the other hand Chelsea must also consider efforts to improve all positions.
As I have said that Chelsea is team that has quite lot of young talent who have the potential to become great players in the future, the main problem is how Chelsea develops each player and can create more consistent performance in the long term.

Nicolas Jackson will get plenty of first team football at Chelsea, as long as he stays injury free then his chances of continuing to improve will be greater with the support of the likes of Cole Palmer alongside him.
Regarding your question, Chelsea has now loaned some of its players to other clubs to gain playing experience, just by loaning them, that's how Chelsea develops players who are not in the main squad plan and but get time to continue to hone their skills and flying hours. Yes, you could say Chelsea management is a little better than their neighbors Man United who overall the management of this club does not work well in terms of developing players.

Yes indeed, Nicolas Jackson has a place in Chelsea's main squad, at the age of 23 it will certainly be great for Nicolas Jackson from season to season. Because after all, Nicolas Jackson is also very fertile as an attacker because after all, last season also Nicolas Jackson had a total of 14 goals in the Premier League and also, so far this season which Chelsea has also played 3 matches, but Nicolas Jackson also has 2 goals at this  time. Therefore, although Chelsea has many players in each position, but if we consider the good results that Nicolas Jackson has then I am also sure, Nicolas Jackson will still get his place in the starting eleven.

But even so, basically Chelsea still have to make greater efforts as a team and not just rely on one player. Because after all, Chelsea are currently also still in the middle of the standings and although it's still early season but still, Chelsea must be able to start the season well ofcourse to be able to compete strongly in the upper zone of the standings.

Their fans will have more disappointment in this season as I believe their players won't have much better performances and their head coach will struggle to deploy his tactical idea on his players. This season starts to be very tough for Ten Hag and he is facing with big risk of being sacked.

I have no ideas why Manchester United decided to continue with Ten Hag after the end of last season while many people and media predicted that he will lose his job. He luckily got good support and belief from Manchester United but his luckiness might end anytime in this season. Performances at least need to be convincing and results must be acceptable. If Ten Hag gets both of these things bad or one of them is bad, his risk to be sacked is not small.

Arsenal was not lucky enough during this season and they recently lost their player Mikel Merino who he joined this team just a few days ago. Mikel Merino was the player Arteta wanted to hire him and he tried to get Mikel Merino ready for the games in this season.
He left Real Sociedad and started playing for Arsenal to have the chance to play in strong teams. But in the first training session in Arsenal, he got injured and it seems Merino's going to be out for 2 months.

Maybe Mikel Merino's injury will not have a big impact on Arsenal's performance even though Arteta has indeed prepared this player to make Arsenal even stronger. But it is quite unfortunate that Mikel Merino had to suffer an injury. And I feel even more sorry for the player who had to suffer an injury before he could debut in the Arsenal squad. And it is estimated that he will be able to make his debut when his injury recovers, namely around mid-October. Hopefully this player can recover quickly and he can make a big contribution to Arsenal when he makes his debut next month. The international break might be a good thing for Arsenal. They can give injured players time with this break. So that injured players do not miss more matches.

[Out of mind]

This is a pros and cons. On one hand, they understand that Man United's condition is very bad, because there are indeed various complex problems. but on the other hand, they appreciate how Ten Hag brought Man United to become the FA Cup champion last season. so, Man United still trusts Ten Hag.

There was something interesting he said in his inverter view, after Man United's defeat to Liverpool.

Source: Ten Hag and a reporter

If a Truth the issue around Manchester United isn't a regular one, there are some complexity that can be traced around it, somehow after seeing that game yesterday, I had this strong urge for Manchester United to literally embark on an overhauling of the  team because almost every aspect of the team was filled with so much of unorganized and patterns less play, the few good players are even flopping gradually because they have dwelled so long in an environment that isn't supportive of improvement greatly, it's very possible if some of these player's exit Manchester United they may do better out there. At the euros 2023 I could see manio doing so well but back now in Manchester United he's just liked to a floppy which shouldn't be at all.

I'm not surprised that Manchester United is still finding it hard to compete in the Premier League again this season. I know it is too early to judge Erik Ten Hag, but I think he is not good enough to continue as Manchester United's head coach, even though he won two trophies in his first two seasons at Manchester United. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United's head coach, Erik Ten Hag is the only manager who has lasted long as Manchester United's manager, and he signed the players he wanted, but yet no positive change has happened in Manchester United. Even though Manchester United management gives Erik Ten Hag huge funds to utilize in the transfer window, Erik Ten Hag will still not bring back the glory days to Manchester United because he keeps singing the players he worked with when he was Ajax's head coach.

I think Manchester United are still caught in the web of last season's struggles and coach Erik Ten Hag has not found the way out yet and this doesn't really tell good of the club's future because everybody thought the club would have navigated out the the stormy weather after participating so vigorously in the transfer market bringing in new players whom we thought were going to change the club's fortunes around for good. As it is right now, Manchester United have only played 3 games losing two already with just a win, so in my opinion I don't think they are ready to compete yet.

Manchester United is not doing much better this season compared to last season, their performance is not strong. Manchester United's coach has brought in many players this season but still they haven't been able to form the team perfectly which is why they haven't been able to bring anything good so far. If Manchester United continue to play like this, they will not be in a good position by the end of the season, but may be slower in the future. Moreover, they were considered by many to have formed a strong team for the competition this season, but their current performance of the game will not augur well for them in the league in the future. Of course, Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag needs to work harder to strengthen his squad and make his squad better.

Maybe Erik Ten Hag's success in presenting the FA Cup title is the reason for management to retain him. I think if that is the reason, it certainly does not match the large investment value that has been disbursed. Of course, anyone would be disappointed if the performance of their favorite team does not experience significant changes. I think it is time for management to give an ultimatum to Ten Hag so that he can improve the team's performance.

He doesn't seem to be aware, there's something wrong with his training model and the management doesn't see it well. Transfer facilities have been provided but no progress looks good. If I compare him to Arteta, he should have started to show improvement. Because I used to doubt him, but ended up with better progress than Ten Hag. Maybe Arteta spent longer at Arsenal, but at that time Arteta did not have many options to buy players. If I'm not mistaken, these 3 years Arsenal are more open to buying players.

[Litzki1990]

What are your predictions for this match? It must be quite difficult, right?

I think the Arsenal-Brighton match will be one of the most enjoyable matches of the week in the EPL. Both teams have no problem finding goals and don't like to play closed football. Arsenal started the season very well again and they have two wins in two games. They have not conceded a goal in these games.

Arsenal are winning their matches without giving too many chances to their opponents and I think they are the favorites in all their home matches. In their last match, they sent an important message by winning against Aston Villa. Brighton, on the other hand, have built a very good squad this season and started the league without any losses. They have strengthened their squad with serious reinforcements and have become a remarkable team with their manager Hürzeler. Arsenal are the favorites, but Brighton will not give up easily. Both teams are in good form and I can say that this match will not be a low scoring affair.

Arsenal win against Brighton was slightly more likely but Arsenal drew against Brighton. At the end of full time, the result of this match was tied at 1-1. Arsenal took a one-goal lead early on but the biggest reason for Arsenal falling behind was D. Rice's red card. In the 49th minute, the player was sent off after receiving a red card, and in the 54th minute, Brighton players managed to get the ball into the Arsenal goal post. The two teams have played three matches each in the Premier League so far, where the two teams are at the 3rd and 4th positions of the points table with the same number of points  7. However, if one of the two teams wins today's match, it will be seen that any team will go higher on the points table.

He luckily got good support and belief from Manchester United but his luckiness might end anytime in this season. Performances at least need to be convincing and results must be acceptable. If Ten Hag gets both of these things bad or one of them is bad, his risk to be sacked is not small.

What is certain is that this decision was taken after careful consideration and management still gives Ten Hag a chance, Manchester United's problems are still the same as last season such as consistency this means that Ten Hag actually has the ability but he needs to overcome some problems to achieve the best results. Manchester United have spent £214 million in the transfer window and most of it has been allocated to defenders but after 3 matches we have not seen optimal results well, this will be an important task for Ten Hag.

In the next 2 matches, Manchester United will face 2 weak teams based on the standings but there is no guarantee they can win the match because they are playing away, as we know, for some reason Manchester United seems to have difficulty when playing away. If Ten Hag can overcome the next 2 games then it can boost their confidence against a stronger team on September 29 against Tottenham, what is clear is that at this time we cannot expect more from Manchester United because it is difficult to predict.

[ndutndut]

Ten Hag has had a very difficult start and as expected he has received a lot of negativity about it, negative statistics are published where he is the second worst coach in the club's history who has played more than 100 matches, where the percentage of lost matches is about 28%, and bookmakers are giving low odds (about 4) that he has the highest chance of being the first coach to be sacked in the new season in the Premier League. So if the team does not start winning, anything can happen.

Ten Hag luckily gets very big support and patience from Manchester United because his performances are poor enough to be fired. This season starts like a nightmare for Ten Hag and Manchester United but overall statistics only shows his very bad management as a head coach. The odds shows big risk that Ten Hag will be fired in this season but it isn't first time we thought Ten Hag will be sacked. Eventually he succeed to stay in Manchester United but if he fails in management improvement, he will lose his job certainly in future.

Erik Ten Hag was almost fired last season because Man United's game did not improve and there was no development. However, because he was able to win the FA trophy he was not fired so he was given another chance to coach Man United in the hope that they would believe in the process. But unfortunately Erik Ten Hag in the three matches that have been played Man United's game has never developed, it is not impossible that Erik Ten Hag will not be long Ten Hag will be fired from Man United.

This is very clear when Man United's defeat against Liverpool showed how bad their structure is, and there is nothing we can expect from Erik Ten Hag. This is not just a matter of individual mistakes like Casemiro or Mainoo during the match against Liverpool. This is about the poor system built by Erik Ten Hag to make the team stronger and more solid.

Arsenal win against Brighton was slightly more likely but Arsenal drew against Brighton. At the end of full time, the result of this match was tied at 1-1. Arsenal took a one-goal lead early on but the biggest reason for Arsenal falling behind was D. Rice's red card.

However, if one of the two teams wins today's match, it will be seen that any team will go higher on the points table.

The Arsenal last match against Brighton was very surprised game match, because I didn’t expect drew from arsenal in that and in deed they the game lead to a drew which very disappointed with they way they received pressure from Brighton even i when saw Arsenal possession in that match I said that they get luck that was leading the game right from the 38 minute time.

But considering something in that match why the Arsenal performances was not powerful is because of the red arc that the rice received immediately they came back from the first half, that’s what scatter all their positions and the Brighton come use the advantage to begin put pressure on them.

So if the team does not start winning, anything can happen.

Winning is important for every club and it's the major role for a club's manager to deliver the best tactics for league games. I've a feeling Erik Ten Hag might not just escape this season because his team is absolutely in a terrible shape. They've lost completely in major roles as an elite team and winning becomes far from them. Sacking is definitely the end term given to any incompetent coach and we barely understand the category for these sectors. Managers suffered due to pressure based on the relenting performance from their players or the fault is from themselves, mixing up game strategies that doesn't worth the base rotation.

[$crypto$]

I also think Manchester United fans must be sad to see their support team still not playing well and at the beginning of this season only won 1 time, namely against Fulham with a score of 0-1 and the last 2 matches of course against Brighton and Liverpool Manchester United lost and of course this will definitely make Manchester United fans sad.

Their fans will have more disappointment in this season as I believe their players won't have much better performances and their head coach will struggle to deploy his tactical idea on his players. This season starts to be very tough for Ten Hag and he is facing with big risk of being sacked.

If Ten Hag gets both of these things bad or one of them is bad, his risk to be sacked is not small.

The narrative that Erik Ten Hag will be fired is getting closer but for some reason this is being maintained is it because Erik Ten Hag can lobby the club management so that he is retained? With the offering of 1 FA trophy is it worth it? Of course for me not he has lost his way with Man United.

I want to know the next few matches as away matches with small teams, whether Erik Ten Hag is able to win or not then clearly he has done a bad strategy even arranging the formation alone in my opinion is like not good, if you lose the next two matches there will be a big disappointment from fans.

[Alpha Marine]

What is certain is that this decision was taken after careful consideration and management still gives Ten Hag a chance, Manchester United's problems are still the same as last season such as consistency this means that Ten Hag actually has the ability but he needs to overcome some problems to achieve the best results. Manchester United have spent £214 million in the transfer window and most of it has been allocated to defenders but after 3 matches we have not seen optimal results well, this will be an important task for Ten Hag.

If being horrible in the league and Europe and winning a league cup is what Manchester United owners and fans want then they can continue with Ten Hag, but if they want to be a team that will terrorise opponents like Manchester City, and Liverpool are doing then they will have to let go of Ten Hag. He is not the right manager for United and I don't know how the fans don't see it.
Manchester United may not have a team to win every game in the league or win the Champions League, but the team they have should be able to play well and win games consistently.

If you watch the game against Liverpool very closely, you'll see that the team is not ready at all and it's p the fault of the coach. Most people blamed Casemiro and I agree but aside from the goals, look at how awful United played that day. They couldn't keep the ball. If a midfielder gets the ball, there is nobody making runs in behind the defence and nobody making himself an obvious option to receive the pass. Also, their pressing is very poor, its like they were comfortable with allowing Liverpool to hold the ball.

[fuguebtc]

-.-

Of course, Ten Hag must be blamed for Manchester United's current condition; apart from him, who else can we blame? Is it the fault of the players for failing to improve their performance? Ten Hags is to blame for everything because Manchester United has been playing the same way for the past two seasons, with no progress in their results. I don't see the point in signing more players because Ten Hag's strategies have not changed, and a team that only signed one player during the transfer window has defeated them with three goals away.

To be honest, it's surprising that Manchester United hasn't sacked Ten Hag to hire another manager after all of the defeats and poor performance, It's funny that Ten Hags and the management believe he's the best manager and still backing him because of the trophies they've won over the last two seasons, I even saw news where Ten Hags compared themselves to Manchester City because they've been winning trophies too.

I hope this time Manchester United is actually not going to wait till the end of the season and if they are actually facing bad results, they are going to make changes and bring in a new coach. I still don’t understand why they decided to keep him just because they were able to win the FA Cup.

By the way, did anyone notice that right after they had won the FA Cup, they were actually celebrating like they had been able to win the English Premier League title or the Champions League title?

I understand that they were able to win against Manchester City and also win a cup and that is great.
But, at least have some shame.
Finishing in the eighth position in the English Premier League should have been shameful enough for them.
Honestly, the way Manchester United is approaching and making decisions, the downfall that they are facing is probability deserved.

It's just 3 matches since the 2024/25 EPL Season resume and so far they've lost twice and won once but that's not a reason for the board to sack him so early, I think they still believe in Erik Ten Hag and that's why they've given him another chance instead of going with the other choices of replacement they listed. Well, the coach deserved a second chance and I think the board weren't biased with their decision cause despite winning the best EPL team so far in the last FA Cup finals the coach has participated in about 6 finals and won two trophies since he came to Manchester United, but fans would disregard that one only focus the team finishing 8th position last season just to get the boards attention towards sacking Ten Hag but I feel the board are not going to be pressured by the rant by fans on and the media and they'll make sure they support the coach and help him succeed just as they've done so far. Talking about the FA Cup, it's understandable if the fans behave that way, the FA Cup is an important trophy in England and moreover they didn't win the against any team but the current best in EPL also fans would want to use that as a backup when there's argument against rival fans. Also remember that the FA Cup automatically made Manchester United to automatically qualify for the Europa despite finishing in 8th position so their are many reasons for them not being shameful concerning end with 8th position.
