Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[abhiseshakana]

On the other hand, the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United has ended, and Nottingham Forest emerged as the winner in this match with a narrow score of 3-2. Nottingham Forest played quite well in this match, although they did not dominate the match too much. Nottingham Forest only got 28% of the ball possession, but they were able to take advantage of every opportunity they got well. Nottingham Forest managed to stop Manchester United's steps to climb to the top 10.

I watched the game, and it's true as you said, Nottingham played better than Man United. Nottingham may have lost possession of the ball, but they had better collectiveness than their opponents. Besides that, Nottingham were also solid in their defense and it seemed as if they were tireless because they kept pressing and pressing throughout the match. As a result, Man United does not have much space when crossing the halfway line.

Manchester United are 13th on the table  after having back to back losses. Their possession in this game was very poor.I doubt Ruben Amorim will be able to get the job done in Manchester United with the formation he is using.  Three man defense didn’t work for Conte in Tottenham and he was sacked. What makes Amorim think he can succeed with this strategy in England. Manchester United will be playing Manchester City next, if they play a 3-man defense against City they will surely lose.

A very poor performance from Manchester united today. Is it that Amorim don't even know the playing positions of his players or what?. He took off Bruno at that early hour, when he knows that there is no better play maker in his team. Why is he even using a wing back, when dalot isn't creative after running with the ball to the opposition's box. I can't say that he isn't fit for the job because not every manager starts a managerial job in a fine form. There is still much to be done because from what I saw today, the manager needs to rectify every position.

And as for Manchester city today, it doesn't seem like they have returned back to their winning ways. Perfect day for Rico Lewis to become a Hero, but unfortunately, he got sent off. I won't call him the Villain because City didn't lose the game. They will be up against their neighbors (Manchester united) in the ever exciting Manchester derby. Can't wait. Up next to those that will definitely take all 3 points tomorrow.

True, Amorim still needs experience to be successful in the Premier League, because with this formation, maybe Amorim also still does not have much experience in the Premier League so he still applies three defenders like that. In fact, playing against Arsenal also Manchester United lost 2-0 and it was a bad result, because Manchester United was also completely unable to score  in the  match. Also, playing at home against Nottingham and the result is losing with a score of 2-3, clearly this is a sign that Amorim really has to change his  tactics and strategies because if not, then it is very likely that Amorim will also end up being fired. For the next match against Manchester City,although Manchester City is also in a slightly bad trend at this moment but  still, Manchester City will always have a better chance than Manchester United.

Formation or not this man is surrounded by pressure, not from the players or the owners of UTD but pressure from himself. He thinks he can change everything about UTD as soon as he start coaching but he is forgetting something that the league is a very different and hard league so things can't be done in a second and I always see him as the other manager ETH. You'd agree with me that Amorim is some how following ten Heg's foot steps. Facing Man City is never going to be easy with how both teams are struggling especially Man City. I believe that any team can beat City but not Man UTD, Pep won't allow Amorim beat him with Sporting and defeat him again with Man UTD. I just have that feeling that Manchester City will use Man UTD to pick their form and start their journey to get hold of the title.

Judging by the previous coach, Amorim will have time to experiment   But at the moment the results are still as bad. I made a multi-bet today where both Manchesters had to at least not lose, but only City managed to do so. United's result surprised me incredibly. Nottingham have had a great first third of the season but United should not lose at home like this. By the way, there could well be a draw in the derby, after all, City is in deep crisis, it seems to me that they have even lost their championship mentality.

Amorim is a talented coach. However, Amorim is not very experienced. Amorim has proven his ability with Sporting. With the help of Amorim, Sporting has been able to perform very well in the last few seasons.

If Amorim is given enough time, he may be able to stabilize the Manchester United team. However, the overall condition of Manchester United is very bad now. The bonding between the players is very weak. If Manchester United wants to improve the overall situation, Amorim must be given enough time and funds. Manchester United's performance is unlikely to improve much this season. Manchester United's fans will be happy if Manchester United can stay in the top 6 of the table. However, even getting into the top 6 of the table is a big challenge for Manchester United.

[Odusko]

They need to improve a lot more, and the roster is one of the main reasons why they are not great so far, they need to get better transfers, whoever is in charge of transfers has to be fired and get someone else, with the amount of money they are spending, they could have built a whole los galacticos type of team, instead of spending bunch of money on multiple players, they could have gotten one star per year and they would have been insanely good by now.

Lots can say what they like, but most of these players playing for Manchester united are not worthy enough to be representing that badge.
I'm more than disappointed but what can I say? During that first game of Ruben Amorim, i was asking myself what was the difference between EtH and how he played? His style just had more intensity to his game. Most of these frontliners should be axed and sold. EOD!!!

As for me, I am not surprised at what is currently happening in Manchester United because the signs have always been on the board for all to see that Manchester United were heading towards this end eventually, when their start treating the star player with disrespect and forcing star players to leave the club way back then, so majority of the remaining players are there based on the political influence they have on both the coach and the club's managements, this is why we can't have the best of Manchester United any time soon and if care is not taken this crisis will lead the club into serious level where their will struggle to reclaim their stands on the various leagues,.

Manchester United already knows that their have lost out in this season despite the amount of time that is still available in this season, their ability to rebaunce back is very low and to that, we may likely see a more declining performance much more than the one we have seen presently, and in the next transfer windows in January, hope the club make some serious amendment to help resuscitate the club against the remaining time in this season and next season.

Maybe that is the best reason why Nottingham managed to rank 5th in the Premier League standings until week 15. Nottingham must be considered a dangerous team this season even though they are also not a team with a strong defense. Nottingham have conceded 18 goals in 15 matches, while they have scored 19 goals.

It's just that Nottingham's performance is clearly still better than Manchester United and several other teams. They have won 7 matches, 4 draws and 4 losses and have collected 25 points in 15 matches. Great, that's the right word for them so far. Meanwhile I regret to find Manchester United have suffered two consecutive defeats.

He took off Bruno at that early hour, when he knows that there is no better play maker in his team.

I can't say that he isn't fit for the job because not every manager starts a managerial job in a fine form. There is still much to be done because from what I saw today, the manager needs to rectify every position.

The main problem is that Manchester United fans hyped Amorim too much; they used his previous team as a reference point to tell the world that he is a better coach than almost all the coaches in the Premier League, and that is why expectations are high. Many people, including Manchester United fans are expecting Amorim to make things work in Manchester United as quickly as possible, which is not possible because he needs a lot of time to adapt to the Premier League pattern and his players.

And as for Manchester city today, it doesn't seem like they have returned back to their winning ways. Perfect day for Rico Lewis to become a Hero, but unfortunately, he got sent off. I won't call him the Villain because City didn't lose the game. They will be up against their neighbors (Manchester united) in the ever exciting Manchester derby. Can't wait. Up next to those that will definitely take all 3 points tomorrow.

Kevin De Bruyne has aged and he is not performing to his best now; that is why I keep telling people that Rodri is the main man in Manchester City's midfield, and he is all they are missing, which is the main reason they never get stability. However, it's a bad result for Manchester City fans because they never expected a draw in the match, but they are unluky.

However, even getting into the top 6 of the table is a big challenge for Manchester United.

It is clear that Amorim will not be able to change anything radically this season, since Amorim is working with what they have and took over the team in the middle of the season. I think everyone understands that, but nevertheless a series of bad results could put him under a lot of pressure. United have five games ahead of them against City, Newcastle and Liverpool, and two relatively easy games. How many points do they need to get here to seriously improve their position? Probably at least 10, but is that realistic? But otherwise United will continue to be in the second half of the standings.
Good results are needed from Amorim now.

[Abbatty]

I don’t even know where Manchester United want again, we all know how good Amorim is, before this loss today Amorim have not lost a home match since February 2023 and he lost today at Old trafford. I think the win against Everton was never a test for him, he lost to Arsenal with a poor performance and also lost again today with another poor performance. Set pieces continue to be a problem under his spell, Manchester United have conceded 5 set pieces goal since he came in. It a new project and every project needs time but when u loss matches like this you lose confidence and the fans also loose Confidence in you. Next league match is their struggling neighbor Manchester City so let see how he prepares his team before then, he has beaten Manchester city already this season with sporting let see if he can do it again with Manchester United.

After a shocking defeat to Nottingham Forest, the Red Devils found themselves in 13th position on the English Premier League table. The fans have already starts to murmured due to the current poor stats recorded by the club in recent past weeks. Unlike Manchester United, they just have to bounce back to winning games because that's the only evident features to stand well. Ruben Amorim suffers another back to back defeat at Old Trafford. This is a sign about his incompetence for the managerial role? Let’s hope this is simply a phase because Manchester United have not been the same since the dismissal of Ruud van Nistelroy. The new manager is striving for greatness but yet to spot out his team’s weakness. This is definitely the factor that would restrict him from reaching top level in the English premier league.

[Captain Corporate]

Both Manchester teams definitely caused a lot of shock without a doubt. I mean neither are shocking anymore at the same time as well lol, we are getting used to seeing City not win, I assumed they would win against Palace but they failed that too, I do not know what the yare going to do about it, but so far they haven't figured out what to do to make it any better. And about United we are seeing that its getting to a point where its not that easy for them, losing yet another game, sure they are giving Amorim some time because he is just starting out, but its definitely not promising at all, I still feel like they are not going to get any better and Amorim won't be able to make this team change, even next season.

[Pokapoka124]

Bournemouth did show a comparison with full hard work in the match against Tottenham. I expected Tottenham to win, but they failed this time. Even with the possession of the ball that was done, they could not get the victory.
On the other hand, Bournemouth who did not hold the ball much always made every attack effective with the final finish. Even though many shots were off-target, they did it well.
Bournemouth showed that they can compete. After Arsenal and Man City, now Tottenham must feel defeat from them. Next maybe United.

I expected Tottenham to win the game but Bournemouth was composed and focused. It was a brilliant all round performance by Bournemouth as they successfully kept Tottenham at bay. On the other hand, Tottenham performance in that game was far from their their best, they lost confidence and didn't pressure their opponent’s defense at all. I don't think Bournemouth possess the squad depth and quality to cause an upset against Manchester United when they meet on the 22nd of December.

Absolute Bollocks! What's with the lame as comparison? Same Antonio Conte used a three man back defense system to win the Premier League competition with Chelsea,  I don't blame most of you half baked football fans with lame as analysis. This is not the time to blast Amorim,  this is time to call out these lazy ass players lazing around with inconsistent performance and high payrolls from tue club. Pep did use a three man when attacking to win thr league likewise.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Manchester United faces a more intricate situation. Ruben Amorim has his sights set on returning to the top four with Manchester United so that they can compete in the Champions League next season. But to improve the chances of achieving that goal, the team needs to improve—especially in game-by-game consistency.

And that perception is not bad because most coaches do not propose that, they let themselves be carried away because it is very difficult ,  because they are in the toughest league of all, because it is the PL because things always go to the defending champion , and Liverpool is the leader, no, this coach Amorim has a great vision of a champion and that is how it should be , I personally did not believe in the MU anymore until Ten Hag was no longer there, when Van Rud Nistelroy began to coach I said to myself, finally they have recovered and from then on was where the good results came.

[Issa56]

I don’t even know where Manchester United want again, we all know how good Amorim is, before this loss today Amorim have not lost a home match since February 2023 and he lost today at Old trafford.

Even with Manchester United's new coach, there is no improvement in Manchester United’s performance, then we should know that the coach is not their problem, and even if they keep on changing coaches, there won’t be any serious difference in Manchester United’s performance, because we all know that Amorim to be a good coach, so it’s just surprising that even with him as Manchester United’s coach, they are still performing poorly, then we should know that the fault is not from the coach alone, the players should be blamed also. Manchester United needs new players, they should allow most of their current players to leave the club, because they are not making any impact. Without Manchester United getting new players, I am not expecting any serious improvement from their performance.

Besides that, Nottingham were also solid in their defense and it seemed as if they were tireless because they kept pressing and pressing throughout the match.

Manchester United does not have a good balance when the opponent attacks them, they find it difficult to maintain the balance of their defense line well in this match. The defeat at home is certainly very disappointing because they get full support from the fans but they failed in this match. In addition, two consecutive defeats are also a bad thing for Manchester United because there are many high hopes for change but in fact Amorim still has difficulty realizing it.

Apart from that, Nottingham Forest of course this victory is a comeback for them to return to winning ways. Nottingham is also closely following Manchester City and there is a chance for them to overtake Manchester City if they are able to maintain their pace by winning in the next match. Their performance has improved this season because they managed to beat several strong teams when facing them.

On the other hand, the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United has ended, and Nottingham Forest emerged as the winner in this match with a narrow score of 3-2. Nottingham Forest played quite well in this match, although they did not dominate the match too much. Nottingham Forest only got 28% of the ball possession, but they were able to take advantage of every opportunity they got well. Nottingham Forest managed to stop Manchester United's steps to climb to the top 10.

It's been a while now that I have stopped watching united game and that's because of the rubbish and inconsistency that they have being showing in their recent performance. Even when the whole excited came that they have signed a new coach I still don't believe this team because of the level of inconsistent form and they definitely showed that today with this loss to Nottingham forest although many would say that forest are no longer a small as they have continually build their team strength and performance.

There are some mistakes from Manchester United players especially Onana that the second goal from Nottingham Forest should be easy ball to blocked but i don't know why Onana has just let the ball passed him besides that there were some miscommunication between Manchester United players which caused Nottingham Forest can easily to broke the defense of Manchester United and i think putting Leny Yoro, De Light and Martinez to the defensive lines is not the best option because these players were unable to performing well but indeed overall Nottingham Forest is much better than Manchester United and they deserved to win from this match
