Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

Man City vs Everton
 Even though Man City are the clear favorites in this game, I won't bet on the citizens to win because with their current form, I don't think any team is scared of them anymore. For now it's only Man UTD that has been able to beat Everton, since Arsenal and Chelsea were held to a draw so there's no saying that Man City can be able to do something.
 What is currently going on with City is something that most of the big teams have experienced but it's looking so surprising for them because for a very long time, they were the very depiction of a well sounded club.

The EPL is filled with surprises this season, I'm having one of the best time watching these elite and average clubs. Manchester City confidence of winning matches have declined over the previous meetings and that's no better chance to enchanced their credibility this season. Hosting the Toffees tomorrow at Etihad stadium, despite having winning streak against Everton in previous meetings, this one will be different because Everton have been a hard knot to crack this season. They've face Arsenal and Chelsea on a row, they managed to dragged 2 points from these tough oppositions, now they're facing Manchester City. Sean Dyche have faith in either securing three points or draw points because that's definitely the ground to pull big winnings.

It was an unexpected result for Everton's last two matches, because Everton managed to hold Arsenal and Chelsea to a 0-0 draw. Basically, Arsenal and Chelsea both have a good trend at this moment, but they really failed to get full points against Everton, a team that in recent seasons is still struggling in the lower zone of the standings.

Everton's performance wasn’t so good in those two matches, but they had strong defense, which was able to hold both Arsenal and Chelsea down. Both teams dominated their match against Everton, but they couldn’t get any goal, which both Arsenal and Chelsea were able to get just a point each when they faced Everton. Seriously, I don’t think most people will believe that both Arsenal and Chelsea won’t be able to get a win against Everton.

In tomorrow's Boxing Day match that Everton also plays away and of course, on paper that Manchester City has a very good chance of getting three points. But yes, considering the bad trend of Manchester City lately,  it is certainly a big doubt for me to bet on this match.

Let’s see how Manchester City vs. Everton will go tomorrow. I won’t be surprised if Everton ends up getting a draw against Manchester City, but I don’t think Everton will be able to get a win in the match, the highest they can get is a draw, and let’s also see how Manchester City is going to perform in the match, maybe they will be able to get a win in the match since they have been losing continuously.

Maybe he hasn't found a player that suits his taste, with the upcoming transfer market he can recruit players according to his taste and make his squad better than before, also besides that Amorim opened his mouth about the disappointment experienced by his fans if he understands it, but there is no instant way to make his squad better everything takes time as Amorim himself said.

I don't think United will be active in the January transfer window because it will be more costly to get the right players during this period. Also, most players prefer moving in the summer window, and the kind of players available in January window are fringed players with less game time at their clubs. Two areas that I think needs reinforcement are left wingback and a top striker. They've signed Diego Leon which will be available next season, so Amorim just has to make do with his crop of players till the season ends and bring whoever he wants in the summer window.

[Roseline492]

Amorim joined Manchester United at a very wrong time, he was signed to bring glory back to Manchester United when Ten Hag has already ruined the team, it is becoming difficult for him at this moment because of the standard Ten Hag set before leaving which he need to put extra effort before changing to a better pattern he is used to.

On the contrary Amorim did not joined Manchester United at the wrong time because he is not the first coach to join a club at there difficult moment, however would you mind to explain why you believe he joined Manchester United at the wrong time so that I will have the overview on why you think so, perhaps would you also say that Ten hag joined Manchester United on the wrong time?, actually we don't have a wrong time or good time in terms of coach joining a club because a club can be very okay but the moments new coach is signed it became worst and some worst club become strong after new signing, so actually the view of joining the club at a wrong time shouldn't be justification of his inabilities.

I never thought i'd say this, especially when City is playing at the Etihad, but TBH Everton might take all three points, they are coming into this game on the back of two good results against two good teams (Arsenal and Chelsea), and it is a City team that is completely out of sorts, so it might just be another loss for City.

That being said, a draw wouldn't be a bad result for Sean Dyche's men and they would be delighted if they get that, everyone thought they would not pick up anything against Arsenal, Chelsea and City.

The best manager or coach of Manchester United is only Alex Ferguson and only in his time Manchester United was truly great, and Alex Ferguson decided to resign from Manchester United in 2013 and he was the longest serving manager at Manchester United for 27 years and Alex Ferguson managed to bring Manchester United to become a respected club in England, Europe, and the world.

And in my opinion before Amorim like Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick, and Erik Ten Hag they were all not suitable for Manchester United and Manchester United has not found a suitable manager like Alex Ferguson. And for Amorim I think it is still too early if we judge that he came at the wrong time or whatever the reason, and we can see and judge Amorim at least one season with Manchester United.

The match schedule that I think will be quite easy for us to predict the results in tomorrow's or this week's match is

- Man City vs Everton (Man City is favored)
- Chelsea vs Fullham (Chelsea is the favorite)
- Liverpool vs Leicester (Liverpool are seeded)
- Arsenal vs Ipswich (Arsenal are seeded)

I say that it will be easy for us to predict the results because these 4 strong teams will indeed face teams whose strength level is actually below theirs and again these 4 top teams will also host the match tomorrow or this week. So there is no doubt that they will most likely collect full points.

There is nothing much to argue about because if you want to predict based on how big the team is but how their performance has been in recent games. Manchester City looks like the favorites to win against Everton but their recent performance shows that it will be difficult to win Everton. Everton has been a problem to top teams now, Arsenal and Chelsea couldn’t get anything more than a point and with Manchester City performing poorly they may even end up losing the match.

Fulham may be troublesome against Chelsea but Chelsea being the home team gives them more chances to win. Liverpool is likely to win and Arsenal as well but still they need to be at their best to keep the pressure off.

That being said, a draw wouldn't be a bad result for Sean Dyche's men and they would be delighted if they get that, everyone thought they would not pick up anything against Arsenal, Chelsea and City.

Understandably, given Man City current form, Everton have the opportunity to create a surprise and bring home 3 points from the Etihad. However, I personally still assume that Man City can secure full points, regardless of the consistency recorded by Everton in their last few matches. Pep Guardiola will certainly try hard to end his team negative trend, and we know what is at stake if Man City continues to lose points. A draw is clearly better than a defeat, let's see how the match will end.

Currently, it seems that many bettors are avoiding the Man City match, the risk of loss is quite large, it takes wise consideration if you want to do it. Meanwhile, no one knows when the ups and downs of Man City performance will end, the match against Everton should be an event to recreate consistency. Currently Man City is 12 points behind Liverpool, and has the potential to be 15 points because Liverpool still has one postponed match. The opportunity to defend the trophy is increasingly impossible, Pep Guardiola seems to have to change the target to be more realistic, namely securing a ticket to the Champions League next season.

Wolverhampton will host Manchester United at home. Both teams have new managers at the helm and it will be a purely tactical battle.It is difficult to predict who will win in the match between Vitor Pereira and Ruben Amorim, the 2 Portuguese, but of course Manchester United will be 1 step ahead.

Manchester United are more favored in this match. Although Wolverhampton are under pressure due to their precarious position in the standings + playing at home, it doesn't make the bookies make Wolverhampton the favorite.

I think we don't need to be confused in assessing these two teams, and my prediction for this match is Wolverhampton 1 - 2 Manchester United or Wolverhampton 0 - 2 Manchester United.

Also think so and even made a bet (in multi bet) for this outcome.But in reality I am operating under the assumption that Amorim should perform better than Ten Hag even despite his experiments. This assumption may have weak justification, but I often benefit from such "general" reasoning because it mostly comes true.

[Sexylizzy2813]

In the previous season, every teams which played against Manchester City struggled truly hard for the whole 90 minutes of the game while pinning on to a slim hope of achieving a rare victory against Manchester City at the end of the match. In this current season, who would have thought it was Manchester City who struggled hard just to avoid suffering a defeat against their opponents in both the English Premier League and Uefa Champions League. I guess it will not take a long time before Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City if he is still unable to bring Manchester City right on the way back to their winning journey.

Is like a pay back in a very wicked way against Man City and it's paying seriously, the whole thing is like they need to have a test of their own medicine. Let's say Manchester City are a bit good and they need someone to help them out from their squad but who is it going to be? Haaland or Foden? These two guys are suppose to be the ones that will make City attack be a little bit up to how they used to be at least getting those goals they're lacking now. I still feel Man City can get out of this hole of disappointment but some of the players need to start the journey of carrying the club on their shoulder and it will motivate other players to step up too.

I don't think United will be active in the January transfer window because it will be more costly to get the right players during this period. Also, most players prefer moving in the summer window, and the kind of players available in January window are fringed players with less game time at their clubs. Two areas that I think needs reinforcement are left wingback and a top striker. They've signed Diego Leon which will be available next season, so Amorim just has to make do with his crop of players till the season ends and bring whoever he wants in the summer window.

I don't agree with this. A mistake clubs make is trying to fill up the missing pieces all in one transfer window. That's not how to reinforce a team.
I believe Manchester United should make at least 2 signings in the January transfer. If the scouting team is serious, they can get very good players by January.  The coach and board just need to agree on which part of the team is the most pressing and find a way to fill that part. Then by the summer, they can make more 3 or 4 signings and you'll be surprised to see that they have a very good squad.

Building a squad takes time, the manager needs to identify what is the most pressing position of the team and fix them in that order. If they continue like that for 2 years, they can have a competitive team. But I don't expect Manchester United to do that because the club itself is not in order. They still have to fix the hierarchy of the club and get the right board members and sporting directions to handle the team. I don't think the sporting directors in United have been doing a good job wen you consider the kind of players they've been employing. 

[Stable090]

You are right that football is always unpredictable. Anything can happen. But Liverpool are the favourites to win the Premier League title. Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea have all been inconsistent this season.

Thank God you know anything can happen in football. I also agree with you that Liverpool are the favorite to win the Premier League title this season, but we shouldn’t be so confident yet. Just 17 matches have been played, and the gap difference between Liverpool and Chelsea, who is currently in second position, is just 4 points, and Arsenal who is in 3rd position, is just 6 points behind. I won’t say it’s so much that they won’t be able to cover up, but Liverpool still have an outstanding match to be played, so we still have a long way to go, and we shouldn’t just conclude who will be winning the Premier League title yet.

If you are talking about consistency, then Chelsea has been playing well this season, and they have been able to win most of their recent matches. Chelsea hasn’t lost any match in their last 9 premier league matches played, and they only had 3 draws, which I will say is really a good performance from them, so I will say Chelsea is also consistent this season.

I know Liverpool's performance is the best in the Premier League currently, but I don’t know if they will be able to keep up with the good performance. Any slight mistake from Liverpool, then other clubs will be taking the position from them, so Liverpool will just have to keep up with their good performance, they shouldn’t underestimate any club when playing.

The sole duty of him being a coach is to actually step and makes corrections in club or countryside that are not doing and then implement his style or get good players that made his idea an actualization because the reason they bought him was to change the club performance because of their poor performance so if he fails in that there is no excuses to that so I don't think he joined the club in the wrong time and moreover he was the one who actually accepted the offer by himself.

[beerlover]

The problem that Manchester United currently has is that their current coach, Amorim, has not yet finished testing several strategies and player rotations which he hopes will bring about better changes, but instead it makes Manchester United seem like they are not making any progress at all. That is, in one match they are good but in another match they are bad again. And it goes on like this.

Just try to pay attention to the composition of the players in each match. The starting eleven used continues to be changed. Which means Amorim still hasn't really decided who in the squad he will actually include in the main squad. This is more similar to testing in pre-season matches. Unfortunately we are in the middle of a season that is almost in progress. And if Amorim doesn't find a suitable composition in the near future then it will only make this team fall deeper. But I hope Amorim has taken this possibility into account.

How much more time should we give Amorim to finally request getting better? I mean he is not doing better than Erik Ten Hag was doing and United fans hated ETH for the bad results, and yet they are hoping for better from someone who is getting the same results. I understand that he is "new", but it's been over a month now, nearly 1.5 months, and he has been managing the team for 9 games I believe, so it feels as if he should start becoming better already, still not getting the good results is not acceptable if you ask me. How long could Amorim hide behind "testing stuff" lie and not get good results?

I can see that it is not looking that awesome just yet, and I can see that if they do become better than that's all fine, but if they are going to just spend more money for Amorim and get bad results yet again, then I do not think that they are going to be happy. Just see how he does before starting to spend a lot, and for that reason I am against spending money on January window.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Manchester City is currently going through such a quiet and miserable time, although there was a scream of Manchester City fans in the gallery at the beginning of the game. But at the end of the game, it was completely the opposite, the players of the Manchester United team screamed in the entire gallery, which is surprising.
Manchester City has lost several matches in a row, of course, whenever Manchester City fans place a bet, they immediately lose without a doubt. If Manchester City players continue to perform like this, they will eventually be at a huge loss, and they are slowly sliding down the points table.

You're absolutely right, I really don't understand how this team has gotten so out of hand for Pep, not even if he mistreats himself do the players respond to him, tomorrow they play against Everton and if they don't win I don't know what can happen, in these tough times the teams are taking advantage of this bad moment to take points from him, I see Haaland very lost on the pitch, he's not doing well, I think that in general the whole team is contributing to not doing much, it really is worrying, I wouldn't like to be in Pep's shoes at these moments, we'll see how he faces tomorrow's game.

[Captain Corporate]

Amorim can be blamed at this point. I understand he is not entirely sure how to turn this club better, but if he isn't going to make them better, then what was the purpose of paying sporting 10 million to get him, erik could have done the same thing. The reality is that winning against City made things a little easier, that was a great result and it was a derby and winning definitely made everyone happy so gave him some more time before he could be criticized but at the end of the day, we are going to see him be blamed too. Either he makes a move in January or he doesn't, that won't matter, they need to finish in the top ten for sure, and possibly 8th place at worst, that's what is expected of him.

[Raflesia]

Manchester United's situation has now become a little more difficult, the crushing defeat a few days ago clearly provides a situation where they ultimately have a defense that is still unstable even though it cannot be denied that in the end their attack pattern is good but when talking about defense and intercepting fast counterattacks they clearly do not have good things to show.

Facing Wolves later the situation could also look the same especially since surely Wolves will also try to make a performance in defense first and maximize fast counterattacks and take advantage of Mancehster United's weak aerial duels as an opportunity.
Manchester United's defense is difficult to guess because they sometimes on several occasions look very good like when they faced Manchecster City where Maguire, De Ligt and Lisandro played well but on several occasions like yesterday's match they really played very badly.

You are very correct. I think the reason why the situation is like that at Manchester United is because the coach has not picked his first eleven, Amorim is looking to test all his players to be able to know the ones he would sell and the ones he would keep at the club. Manchester United has shown flashes or brilliant performance this season and am sure with time and from next season under the guidance of Amorim Manchester United will be able to have a steady progress and performance. I don't think a team like Wolves will be able to cause an upset against Manchester United irrespective of where the match will be played.

This also cannot be a certainty because in the end, the performance on the field, which sometimes does not match the final result, clearly proves that until now Amorim has not been able to be consistent with his work.

It must be admitted that in his coaching vision he did a pretty good thing where Amorim gave confidence even to some players who were not given many opportunities before, but on the other hand this also backfired on himself when trying to apply some players who had not been in the squad long enough to make the chemistry of the players on the field have to be changed again and this became Mancehster United's main problem when at some moments the change from good to bad could suddenly change to the opposite.
Although Amorim is still quite new as an EPL coach but in the end he must be able to make their situation well maintained because in the end the reason he was recruited was to change Manchester United especially with his current position which is still not comfortable.

[Agbamoni]

Maybe he hasn't found a player that suits his taste, with the upcoming transfer market he can recruit players according to his taste and make his squad better than before, also besides that Amorim opened his mouth about the disappointment experienced by his fans if he understands it, but there is no instant way to make his squad better everything takes time as Amorim himself said.

Are you forgetting that Manchester United is the richest club in the Premier League why do you think they can't afford to spend any amount for the sake of getting the right players. When we are talking about signing players in the club, we shouldn't be speaking of money being a hindrance in getting the right players.

Manchester United wants to finish as part of the top 4 this season. That is what Amorim wants for the club and then next season they can fight for the title. It's been a while since we see Manchester United in the UCL and we know that the club had so many presences in the past. Amorim has to get two defenders or more in the January transfer window and a dynamic midfielder who can have more work rate with the ball and give the strikers to score. I know his intention is to get Gykores from Sporting but i think that is in a rush. He should get a midfielder first who can control the ball well and give passes. Then Gykores can come in the summer window to make the big changes in the club for next season.

Hopefully next season will be extremely interesting for the Mancehster United team and their fans.

[Oluwa-btc]

Amorim joined Manchester United at a very wrong time, he was signed to bring glory back to Manchester United when Ten Hag has already ruined the team, it is becoming difficult for him at this moment because of the standard Ten Hag set before leaving which he need to put extra effort before changing to a better pattern he is used to.

Manchester United fans needs to be patient, they hyped Amorim too much and he is good, but it will take him time to perform to his standard because he is a good manager that can do well if given time and money to sign players.

I don't like whenever I read stuffs like this on here, but I have to ignore some shite completely. What do you mean he joined Manchester United at the wrong time? And for your information,  he wasn't hyped like you've said, he is a sound manager who had beaten Mikel Arteta last season and also this season in the champions league. I can agree with being patient,  I'd take that and I don't see them qualifying for any big european games and fixtures next season.

[Adams0001]

Either he makes a move in January or he doesn't, that won't matter, they need to finish in the top ten for sure, and possibly 8th place at worst, that's what is expected of him.

I won't blame Amorim because he only joined the club this season and hasn't fully grasped the statistics they use, meaning he need to see how they play in the pitch and select the key once in the club. he needs to learn them gradually. I believe Amorim and everyone else knows he is a nice coach. What is happening to Manchester United can happen to any team, and Manchester United is currently better than Manchester City since they have not lost back-to-back games, whereas Manchester City has lost in both the UCL and the league. With Rushford not very active in the squad for Manchester United anymore, I think the coach will probably sell him and bring new players to the club, because I see like two games now he is not playing and and not in the substitutions. So I see Amorim don't like him anymore, he doesn't enjoy is attitude, and is not that is injured. After the window open let see which players the coach will like to bring to the team because Manchester United should pickup form so that they will play the tough competition next season ucl, so that they will face tough club in the competition.
