Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[xLays]

I did some insight lol, matchday 1 was the only matchday where no game had more than 3 goals. All 10 games in Matchday 1 is under 3 goals. I think it might happen again in this upcoming Matchday 12. After the long break, players might focus more on defense. Just a feeling, so because of that I made a parlay (combo bet) on 10 games all ending with under 3 goals. What do you think—does it have a chance? The odds is only X80.50

Pep Guardiola have been a great manager because he transformed Manchester City from grass to grace. He has proven himself to be the best coach who have coached in three different league and he has done a very good job in does places. I think they are in talks regarding his contract extension and I pretty sure it will work out but not as long as the previous contract, I even see something like months not years. Ronaldo Nazario the Brazilian legend is also planning to take him as a head coach in the national team after he have succeed in becoming the head of his country football federation. This is also a great opportunity for him to rest after working the all day for many years.

Pep Guardiola may wants to stay at Manchester city for some more time like a season or 2, but I think the interest from Brasil may disrupt this plan. Pep has proven his worth already in the La liga, Bundesliga and Premier league, moving to Brasil will be a much different challenge and if he can bring the Brazilian's team back to winning ways of trophy, notably, the world cup, then he will set himself more as the very best. Pep may the seriously move to Brasil since, they have enough quality squad he can work with to produce much better result for the team.

I have listened to an interview of Pep Guardiola where he admitted that he has an interest of trying out his career with a national team. There is no doubt that Pep Guardiola is an exceptional coach, one of the best that have existed. He got a good career in Germany also in Spain and now in England. He got the Super Cup, the Champions League, the English Premier League, the La Liga and Bundesliga. So, there's no more exploits for him rather than win with countries.

Pep would have stayed longer with City, but this will not happen if he continues to have bad results in Manchester city or his good players continue to be unavailable. It will force him to leave.

If you flash back to last season when De Bruyne and Haaland had injury, the performance of the team dropped and they had difficulties winning their matches, until De Bruyne came back from injury.

It’s obvious that the main problem Manchester city are having this season is injury problem. Manchester city performance has dropped, due to some of they their key players that are on injury. De bruyne is a player which whenever he is on injury, Haaland’s performance is always dropping during that period, we all know Haaland to be a goal scoring machine, mostly De Bruyne is the player which is always feeding Haaland with passes, so whenever De Bruyne is on injury, Haaland is always finding it difficult to perform well in most matches.

Yes, it is clear that the team is repeating the situation of last season, injuries have weakened the team. The team still did not completely collapse without Kevin De Bruyne. However, this season the continued absence of key players like Rodri has exacerbated these problems. It's clear that when Guardiola's team is at their best, they rely on Rodri. whose relentless energy and tactical discipline help tie their play together.

Haaland is too reliant on Kevin De Bruyne. if Man City does not sell Julián Alvarez, all the knots will be handled by Julián Alvarez in this situation.

Anything can happen in the match even by chance so if you are curious please try while I thought it was just a coincidence when the teams started the first match they might not be in the right condition and strategy. Apart from that you have to consider a few big matches because at this time each team is closer in points such as teams that are in positions 3 and 7 this means that one point is very important. Manchester City is also a few points behind Liverpool so they will try to pursue including total goals of course in this match has the potential to score a lot of goals.

De Bruyne's influence is very big for Man City, however, he is Man City's key playman, his absence plus several other top players also makes Man City's condition quite worse, coupled with the other row, Rodri. The injuries experienced by Man City players continue, fortunately at this time they do not occur simultaneously, so Pep should still be able to make the club stronger during their match in the EPL later.

He is a player who controls the rhythm of the game and at the same time a midfielder who always provides accurate passes to the striker so losing him must have a big impact on the attacks built by Manchester City.
The front line is quite crucial for Manchester City because they rely on ball possession so if the midfielder is not good enough at holding the ball then the tactics applied by Pep Guardiola will not work perfectly.

That is the reason why Manchester City has not gotten good results in the last few matches because there are no players who are able to control the game in midfield.

let's see in the next match if their performance still looks like this, then there will be a big change in Manchester City Club. The official seems to conducting an evaluation about the club. they are preparing huge funds to recruit another player to fill up the injured player's position. there are several players who are being targeted such as Ederson from Atalanta and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace to fill the center-field and defensive midfielder position. both positions are an important part of the pep scheme, if vulnerable then Manchester City performance will also decrease like today.

He is a player who controls the rhythm of the game and at the same time a midfielder who always provides accurate passes to the striker so losing him must have a big impact on the attacks built by Manchester City.

De Bruyne in many seasons, is a most creative player in Premier League in stats with most assists in one season. He's very important for Manchester City's attacking system, without him they will have less creativeness in attacking from key passes to assists. It's really hard for Manchester City to replace De Bruyne but no player can win against ageing and soon De Bruyne will no longer be able to play for Manchester City regularly or he will leave the club or retire his player career.

The front line is quite crucial for Manchester City because they rely on ball possession so if the midfielder is not good enough at holding the ball then the tactics applied by Pep Guardiola will not work perfectly.

Selling Mahrez to Saudi Arabia two seasons ago, selling Julian Alavarez to Atletico Madrid and decreasing performance of Grealish affected Manchester City too much in this season. They no longer have a deep squad like previous seasons and unfortunately they have many player injuries in this season. Haaland is a traditional striker who needs support from his teammates in key passes and assists. Without these supports, Haaland will nearly become a harmless striker.

Pep may the seriously move to Brasil since, they have enough quality squad he can work with to produce much better result for the team.

Pep Guardiola have official confirming stay one year later with Manchester City after his contract expiry in this season, I think the management not get problem how consistent performance of Manchester City and success winning four consecutive premier league trophies. Have rumor with Pep Guardiola linked to be Brazil national team head coach but still not official confirmation yet about agreement deal have reach or not.
Have downtrend performance in last four consecutives matches, I think Pep Guardiola priority with Manchester City awhile until the end of this season and not interested for speculating his future become Brazil national team head coach. I think Brazil try to sign Pep for playing at World Cup 2026 and have target for winning World Cup 2026 after last several edition since 2002 never success lead to the final or winning World Cup trophy.

Pep Guardiola will stay at Manchester City for another year. Team management is likely happy given their consistent wins including four Premier League titles in row. There were rumors Guardiola might coach Brazil national team but nothing is confirmed. Manchester City recently lost four matches so Guardiola priority is fixing that. Brazil wants Guardiola for 2026 World Cup hoping to win after failing since 2002. Guardiola experience would be big help. For now Guardiola focuses on Manchester City success not his future with Brazil.

It makes sense, Manchester also started to take steps to find a new coach who can replace Guardiola. So far, according to my knowledge, both parties have not reached an agreement to extend his contract, perhaps the reason is because Guardiola wants to find a new challenge with the National team. This season, Guardiola has had a little difficulty in formulating a strategy because several key players have been injured, as a result, Manchester City performance has started to decline. If he fails to retain the EPL title, he should at least be able to get Manchester City to finish in the top four and that would not be a bad achievement for him.

[Kindness001]

Isn't this what seperates good coaches from great coaches? I mean Pep is a great coach, maybe the best coach we have ever seen, he has won everything and I believe he could turn this ship around one way or another. Its not going to be easy and they are facing a lot of trouble so far but he could make sure to find a way to make this work and I believe we are going to see him get them more wins as well. If they could make this work then he is going to be considered even ebtter without a doubt. This is why I am expecting to win it this time around as well and without that we are not going to see it changing, he is going to be considered amazing and wins would be a lot better without a doubt.

Sure pep is a good coach and among the best coaches in football history he won everything with already developed teams I think pep is suppose to have left city by now a best coach changes team after like 5 to 6 years he has given city everything but it's not going to be easy to turn the ship now after countless injuries and loosing 4 games in a row for the first time but I will still stick to saying he should leave city to coach another country will be better for him

No not really with man Utd bringing in a new coach he will like the team to score more goals against newly qualified Ipswich town and Chelsea playing draw against Man Utd and Arsenal will no doubt like to score more than 3 goals to capitalize on the returning of injured players like Jadon Sancho and Palmer with Enzo Fernandez probably playing ahead of injured lavia the creativity will be very high so I don't think it a good idea

Pep Guardiola's contract will expire at the end of this season and there is no further news about the contract agreement between the two, but if we look at Pep Guardiola's coaching career, it is likely that he will choose to accept a new challenge after getting everything with Manchester City, this is the same as Pep Guardiola in Barcelona before.
To be in the top 4 this season I have no doubts and even Manchester City still has a chance to defend the title, regarding the current decline in team performance I think it is not a big problem, Pep can definitely solve it.

Manchester City has been built by Pep Guardiola in the last few seasons with a fairly strong team framework, so even though Pep leaves at the end of the season, there is a legacy left behind and it is possible for the Manchester City team to remain strong.

Yea, why not? Manchester city will still remain strong, or have you forgotten that Manchester city was already strong before he arrives at the club?
Though they aren't as dominant as the are now in the past four seasons but they were very very good, because when Mancini and Pellegrini was the manager of Manchester city, they both won the league and Pellegrini did it convincingly and in an emphatic fashion, so I believe that regardless of if he stays or he goes, Manchester city will still be a dominant force in the English premier league because of the star player at the club.

Then as for pep guardiola future at the club, though nothing is certain, but I believe that he might stay put, because Manchester city is the only club he has managed that has given him everything he wanted as a coach, when it comes to resources available to him, and I believe that due to how relax and ok he is in England, he might extend his contract at the club further, let's just watch and see how things plays out on his future.

I agree with you that so far (before Guardiola came) Man City has been a team that has a very good performance and has always been a popular team in the premier league. It's just that Guardiola added the UCL trophy at that time making people think that losing the coach makes Man City weak. In fact, all of that does not only depend on the coach but if a team has quality players, it will certainly be easy to maintain performance and only needs an experienced replacement coach to be able to stabilize the performance.

[Juse14]

It seems that Mikel Arteta's plans for Arsenal after the international break will have to undergo some changes. Hoping that after the international break the players will be back in shape, what happened was that several Arsenal players had to suffer injuries while on duty with the national team, and Trossard in several matches was quite relied on by the coach to be the spearhead of Arsenal, now he has to suffer an injury when the Belgian national team faced Israel. Likewise with Osaya Saka who is likely to be absent when Arsenal competes, because he had to suffer an injury while playing for the England national team. and finally the Arsenal captain, Odegard, who even though he returned to play for Arsenal some time ago, he is often absent from several important Arsenal matches because he remembers his condition which has not fully recovered from injury. Not to mention the addition of other players who are increasingly lengthening the list of Arsenal player injuries, such as B White, Tierney and Rice. And of course with the injuries to several key players, Arsenal will have some difficulties in facing the upcoming matches and their closest will be against Nottingham Forest, who are a team that cannot be underestimated this season.

[Barcode_]

I believe no one will ever believe Nottingham Forest to be able to achieve the same number of points with Arsenal on the table after 11 games played this season but Nottingham Forest had truly done it with their amazing play. Arsenal will have a hard time breaking down the defense of Nottingham Forest when these two teams play against each other during this weekend as Nottingham Forest had only conceded 10 goals in 11 games played but since this is a match which Arsenal cannot afford to lose any more points in order to catch up with Liverpool on the table, I guess Arsenal might win this match at the final whistle by a single goal margin.
