Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Dzwaafu11]

Becoming champions at the end of the season has been included in the strengthened plan. Yes, we really want that to really happen without any obstacles so that from 19 to 20 trophies.
Leicester City is not an easy opponent for us to beat, even though in the matches we have played, we have been able to get maximum results according to the target. Leicester City is currently different thanks to Ruud van Nistelrooy. The target of winning or 3 points is the main target against Leicester City.
If you dare, place a bet on Liverpool's victory.

Leicester City have taken a good start from the beginning under the leadership of Ruud van Nistelrooy, but his impact really affected them positively and I know they will be far from the relegation zone before the season run out. Regarding their next match against Liverpool, it not going to be easy for Leicester City if they want to secure victory and I don't see that strength in them despite under the leadership of Ruud van Nistelrooy, their last two matches make me lose confidence in them against Liverpool and the funny part they are playing an away game. Liverpool are currently leading the table with 39 points and they only have one defeat since the starting of the season.

It will be difficult for Liverpool to win. I would imagine that Nistelrooy's vision to make Leicester City stronger since he became the coach after Manchester United chose another coach.
For Leicester, winning will take them out of the relegation zone because Wolverhampton just beat Manchester United. So, Lsicester will be very challenged to beat Liverpool The problem is this match is at Anfield, a draw could be a very profitable result for them.

Leicester was able to score one goal in the minutes of the match. Should I say what you said is about to happen, that Liverpool will find it difficult to win against Leicester? Because the match is taking place at Liverpool's home, I am sure I’m expecting Liverpool to win this match and not even draw against Leicester. And I can see that up till now Liverpool is still yet to equalise the goal. But I know Liverpool will not allow that; they will do everything to either win or draw this match. One must happen.

I bet on Liverpool to win. The chances of Liverpool losing points in this home match were very low. The opponent Leicester City is a very weak team. This team is very close to the relegation zone. And Leicester City can fall into the relegation zone at any time. It is unimaginable that a strong Liverpool team will lose points against such a team.

Leicester are not weak as I’m seeing them currently; this team already scored 1 goal against Liverpool, and they have been able to attack and play strongly from the beginning of the match, and this is almost the end of the first half, and this makes me think that Liverpool are going to find it difficult to win tonight, and for the fact that Leicester City are close to relegation makes me believe that they will do everything and play very strongly to see that they win the match to avoid being relegated.

Before the match started, Arne Slot once said that despite facing a team with a lower ranking, Leicester City is not a team that can be taken lightly. This will not be an easy match for Liverpool to win, because even though they are at the bottom of the standings, Leicester City is sometimes a team that is quite troublesome. and sure enough after the match between Leicester City and Liverpool, Leicester was able to take the lead over Liverpool, Leicester managed to score a goal in the 6th minute. and now the match has entered the 20th minute, let's see what Liverpool will do to overcome the pressure.

What I am seeing... Really!!!
Leicester City have score the first one!! against the team like the Liverpool. It was really unexpected for me. Althought I am seeing that the Liverpool team have the better position in the currently but it now 33" they didn't made anything. I was expecting this match were favour in the Liverpool but it seen like the opposite. Did Liverpool take Leicester City too lightly and is this becoming a burden for them?
Anyway, still I will expecting the victory for the Liverpool although it was 4-0 previously maybe it can be 2-1 for now ?

Nottingham Forest is now a team to be reckoned with in the top four of the standings, beyond predictions they managed to beat Tottenham with a narrow score today. If they are able to maintain consistency until the end of the season, Nottingham Forest has the opportunity to appear in the Champions League next season. With 34 points, they are now ranked third in the standings, but will most likely be overtaken again by Arsenal tomorrow.

Nottingham Forest has been a team to reckon with right from last season and their performance this season is not surprising, just like most top clubs in the premier league like Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are all being defeated today and for Liverpool, I believe there will maintain their standing even though there are currently losing to Leicester City but with just 1:0 and with a playing time 40' which is somewhat a good time for Liverpool to possibly equalize and possibly win the game to increase their current points on the league table.

"Boxing Day"

Manchester City - Lost

City didn't lose, it was a tie. That's an additional 1 point on whatever they had already in their column on the table.
Notwithstanding, that wasn't the level of game I expected. Atleast I thought they could regain full possession of the ball and do something different with it. Seems like guardiola's strategy has been studied over the years and a every team has learnt a defensive play to override his skills... Man's losing his mind day after day yet, nothing has changed. Heard yet another rumor - that they may not be qualified for the champions league next season? Is this true?
Let's take a look at the goal scored by Ndiaye for everton. What does City's defensive strategy look like to y'all? For me, I think alot of people would need to sit on the bench for a while.
Halland lost a penalty at this crucial point. I don't wanna start laying blames but that would have ended the game well for them. Watched a little camera pickup where he spoke rude to arteta during arsenal's defeat against city -- karma is real!

[Alpha Marine]

What do you mean Manchester United has no good players, Ganarcho, Amad, Hojlund and other are good players yes they aren't world class but they are definitely good players. It's hard for a top 6 team or even many teams in top flight football not to have good players. K also believe that Manchester United needs to be very active in the upcoming market and get so more players but their present players are good.

You really consider Ganarcho and Hojlund good players? this is the problem Manchester United is having. They never agree their players are not good enough. Hojlund has just 2 league goals this season, that is not the stats of a good player. Ganarcho is just an overrated kid because of the potential people see in him, but he doesn't play like someone who actually has potential. Those players are not good players. They're average players.

There are good players in United, but the players I mentioned are not good, definitely not good enough to play for Manchester United. Its the club that'll continue to suffer if the fans keep making excuses for mediocre players. They did the same thing about Mainoo and Antony, now its obvious for all to see that they're not good enough.

Wonders shall never end and surprises are part bound to happen in football. Fulham was able to have a welcome back in the second half, after Chelsea scored their only goal in the first half. Wilson equalized the goal for hia club with a beautiful header after he got an assist from with a header Castagne on the 82nd minutes. On the last minute of the extra time R. Muniz scored with a clinical finish and stole all three points from Chelsea away from home. The game ended 1-2.

What a magnificent comeback from Fulham in the second half. Football is indeed full of surprises and i can't imagine that Chelsea lost this game to Fulham just almost close to the final whistle. Chelsea's defense needs to do better because if they had controlled the defense very well Fulham wouldn't have gotten the chance to score goals. This lose will really affect Chelsea because if Liverpool wins Leicester city this night that means they will be topping Chelsea with 7 points and they still have outstanding game which if they win the gap will increase to 10 points. Chelsea played well in the first half but the second half became tough for them and they couldn't score which Fulham began to show greater strength and got the shocking winning that surprised everyone. I think the greatest highlight of today's game is this match between Chelsea and Fulham.

Fulham played well in this 1-2 win they had over Chelsea. Their pattern of play works out for them by giving them the anticipated win. I never believed this could happen, for Chelsea to lose in their home when the plan was to get closer to Liverpool.

Well, Chelsea's top position is still retained. But the zealousness and control I have seen Chelsea have in their few matches, I don't see it any longer. They lose total control of their today's match, giving Fulham the upper hand in scoring against them

Core Palmer was afraid of facing the opponent legs and that was why he was jumping whenever he face any opponent player. Nicolas Jackson missed am important goal. And the defense of Chelsea was not strong but it was weak. And if Chelsea defense was strong enough they would protected that 1-0. Fulham was impressed in the game and they were struggling to win the game and finally they won the game. Chelsea who is in the second position in the EPL supposed to maintain that name but they played nonsense on the field today.
But one I discovered on the side of Chelsea today was, they were tired on the field but the coach didn't change those players that were tired in the field. Chelsea cut people tickets (odds) today.

It didn't happen again. Manchester City failed to win again. I've never seen such a fast and long collapse in my life. You embargo the league for years, then you start very well again and suddenly you have such a bad series. I see a problem with the players now, a big psychological problem. The players are not playing on purpose. A team that has been playing so well for years cannot suddenly turn 180 degrees. Injured and missing players cannot be an excuse for this. How many games in a row they can't win, this can't be a coincidence. Something else is going on inside the club.

This season might not be on our favour but one thing am sure of is not more than we are going to get back on how feet and when you are not doing well ways to actually make mockery of thay club but we know we have enough enemies and all this games failing is a normal thing but does that have a problem with our performance should just leave them alone people, and this statement of the city on the collapsing and it is not as if the season is ending there is still how for us to make things write, we know that we have set a good record but what we are facing now is actually a test and we are going to pass, so all those that are hating on us should wait till we climb to the top, the injuries also contributed to how bad we have dropped in no time we are going to confirm that we are still the best.

[ingiltere]

Almost all Boxing Day results were unexpected. Most of the favorites didn't win their matches. It was an interesting day.
Manchester City just can't win. Haaland missed a penalty. Overall, Haaland had a great start to the season, scoring 10 goals in the first 5 league games, but only 3 goals in the next 13 games. This statistic is enough to explain the bad run. Maybe Pep should try something new.
Nottingham Forest continue to win. They beat Tottenham and moved up to third place. Nobody expected such a performance from them at the beginning of the season.
The nightmare continues at Manchester United. After Bruno Fernandes was sent off with a red card, they conceded two goals and lost to Wolverhampton.
Fulham also beat Chelsea and gave a surprise. Let's see how Liverpool do in the last game of the day. They also went behind but now they have a draw. They can go ahead at any moment.

[AYOBA]

And as for Manchester united, it seems they are still very much in their poor season, as they still lost today. Though I didn't watch game early, but I tuned in the 90th minute. United tried getting an equalizer at the late hour, with a man down, only to end up conceding a late goal, after wolves where left with two attacking players against the united goalkeeper. What a terrible day for both sides of Manchester, especially the reds.

A lot of the teams was disappointed in their today’s match, even the teams that peoples was not expecting that they can get lose this days definitely has a lose against unexpected teams. A team like Chelsea and the Manchester City that’s why when I check my live scores and saw that their was winning Manchester United, is not something that surprised me.

Since a teams that has power more then their performances was facing challenges that’s why i said their own is nothing from my side, because they just get recovering and is not that fulling but some was saying that is because of the red card that received in the 47 minutes that’s exactly what caused it for them..

They did the same thing about Mainoo and Antony, now its obvious for all to see that they're not good enough.

This is the thing while they can be considered as a good player for mid teams, they need to be constantly showing a sense of positive growth for then to be in a top team and maybe won't even still be as an active starter of that team.

But Manchester United team continues to highly praised them and sometimes even acts as if they are world class, consistency matters and while Nicolas Jackson who is even having a better season than Hojlund is sometimes seen as not really reliable by we fans and we are still hoping to get a better nine for starter since even Nkunku has not really do well to replace him as starter for Chelsea.

[Pokapoka124]

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 think it was the right time for a top talented coach like Ruben amorim to join Manchester United and use his technical skills to be able to salvage Manchester United season. Manchester United's fans should understand that the club is in transition and it will take time for Ruben Amorim to be able to put the squad together. It will be years before they can compete for major trophies consistently.

This time Boxing Day turned out to be a bit strange, I expected much better results and the matches ended up being very boring. Liverpool vs Leicester is on, surprisingly the score is 2-1, but Liverpool are pressing their opponents very hard, but they can't score. I think that this match will not end in a draw either.

[Unsoldier]

How many games in a row they can't win, this can't be a coincidence. Something else is going on inside the club.

Despite a strong start and Bernardo Silva's early goal, Manchester City once again failed to hold onto their lead. The issues are clear: Haaland was isolated, key players were missing, and their finishing remains poor. Even a penalty that could have shifted the momentum was wasted.
While City dominated much of the game, their inability to secure results is becoming a serious concern. Everton's solid defensive performance, combined with City's own mistakes, proved decisive. Guardiola's side is in a deep crisis now—just one win in 13 matches says it all.

[EL MOHA]

This is the thing while they can be considered as a good player for mid teams, they need to be constantly showing a sense of positive growth for then to be in a top team and maybe won't even still be as an active starter of that team.

I as much as I will agree with you that most Manchester United players are not suitable for the team I wouldn’t call them below average but rather leave them as an average player rather, In terms of individual quality I think Hojlund has them but has he shown that to Manchester United I would say No, can he strive in other clubs I will say most definitely but he is just not the kind of player Manchester United can call their point man, same with the likes of Zirkzee.

Sancho who hasn’t been starting all games for Chelsea couldn’t get into the Manchester United team and he plays better for the Chelsea side because the pattern suits him. For me I think Manchester United needs to back this Amorim and let him build his team and then offload most of these players. But one thing this club is known for his hanging on way too long for my liking.

[Pokapoka124]

What are the major weaknesses of the Red devils? The defendlines and attack role are not effective as it should be and creating awareness of insufficient force to drive through oppositions. All elite team have weakness this season and we're not just going to talk about Manchester United but also Manchester City. It becomes open to see both Manchester clubs suffering streak defeats and that's no clear chance for growth for these teams. Pep Guardiola and Ruben Amorim are still working on producing more intriguing outcome for their perspectives sides. Why blame Ruben Amorim for the humiliating defeat against Bournemouth this past weekend? They conceded 3 goals and its all coincidence? Ofcourse not because the Cherries was fully prepared and executed forceful strategy that lure their oppositions to give room for defeats.

I think Manchester United's major weakness may be due to lack of commitment displayed by some players which makes it challenging for even the best of coaches to implement their philosophies effectively. This lack of dedication can manifest in inconsistent performances on the field. If Amorim wants to succeed at United, he should do a complete overhaul of the squad and get fresh players.

[Ojima-ojo]

Liverpool remains in the championship of this season, because they have refused to accept any defeat, look at what happened in today's match against Leicester City they were losing by 1 goal all through the first half, but just between the interval of 20 minutes in the second half Liverpool were able to equalize and add more 2 goals making the match to be 3:1 currently and now in the last minutes of the game which point to potentially Liverpool winning this match already.

[Raflesia]

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.

You can’t judge Amorim yet, he’s only been in the job 5 minutes. He’s working with a crap squad, full of overpaid, overrated, unmotivated players.

The time to judge him is probably at the end of next season. I hate Man Utd but he deserves a chance to build his own squad.

Regardless of what you say it is true but in the end Amorim must also realize when he is in the coaching chair then he must be prepared with all the consequences including when the players who currently lack motivation and are paid too high it must be able to conquer and until now he still cannot do it.

Indeed, maybe this is not entirely the coach's fault but rather leads to several things including to players who seem too relaxed and make a lot of mistakes in every match they run, but on the other hand the role of the coach is to make this better and Amorim is required to do that even though it is difficult.
In the end, Manchester United's current situation has not progressed and even looks the same and even worse than what happened when van Nistelrooy coached them for a few weeks as an interim and this situation looks the same as the Ten Hag era in the end.

[Alpha Marine]

I think it was the right time for a top talented coach like Ruben amorim to join Manchester United and use his technical skills to be able to salvage Manchester United season. Manchester United's fans should understand that the club is in transition and it will take time for Ruben Amorim to be able to put the squad together. It will be years before they can compete for major trophies consistently.

I don't think it was the right time. He could have waited till the end of the season. That way he will have advantages, He would have more time to get to know his players and experiment during the pre-season and know how he's going to play.
He would have also had an opportunity to sign players since the transfer window would be open by then. He would have time to identify the players he wanted and the club would have tried to sign them, but now he couldn't sign any players and he had no time to experiment.

Everybody involved in the deal made very poor decisions. After Ten Hag was fired which was a good thing, Ruud van Nistelrooy was doing a good job, he drew 1 and won 2 matches, even though they were not tough matches, but he should have been allowed to stay for a while. What United could have done in my opinion was agreed on a deal with Amorin to take over at the end of the season.
Amorin shouldn't have left Sporting where he had a good thing going mid season also. 

[Makus]

Liverpool is making their run for the EPL title  more obvious even though there are still lots of games to be played which can turn the table around, they are the favorite for wining the Premier League trophy this season. After their last EPL trophy in 2020 I think it's time to bring the Trophy home again. Funny enough, they still have one outstanding match and if they win that game just like their previous games. They are leading the current second position on the table with 7 points, if they win their next match that would be 10pt  though Arsenal would be playing Ipswich tomorrow and that would determine if they'll top Chelsea in the table or not, but that seem to be an easy win for them.

How many games in a row they can't win, this can't be a coincidence. Something else is going on inside the club.

It's very strange to see a team with the same squad and the same coach but collapse so quickly, I suspect it's not just a psychological problem but there are internal problems that make Man City like this. In addition, as far as I can remember, this is the first time Man City has had a long negative trend in the Sheikh Mansour era and the stands were empty before the end of the match. Maybe this is also the cause, because the supporters did not give support even though all the players were experiencing major psychological problems.

In addition, Man City declined not only because of what was explained above. But because Rodri was injured, the back was porous, the wingers this season were all below standard and KDB was not like before. Haaland without KDB's help and the wingers were just ordinary attackers not as sharp as last season.

So it can be said that this season is not Man City's season because whatever they do will still lose points because the players' psychology is disturbed, It's a bit sad to see Man City this season. Man City's hopes of defending the title have been dashed, Pep Guardiola can currently only focus on entering the UCL next season and hopes that next season can be much better.
