Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[HajiBagi]

Amorim's decision not to include Rashford's name in the player list made the rumors of his departure even bigger. The latest rumor, Man United offered to Juventus. But they wanted Zirkzee more. In the offer to Juventus, there are actually rumors of 2 clubs interested in getting Rashford, they are Tottenham and Munich. If he leaves, Amorim should throw him out of the EPL. I'm worried that he will change for the better and make Man United suffer if he meets his new team.

What Ruben Amorim is doing with Rashford now is the best thing that every coach will do with his players, If Rashford likes he should go and change and perform well that can not stop Ruben Amorim's work, for like 2 two years now Macus Rashford's performance is very poor and the player doesn't want to change and show the team that he is still the Rashford the team sign, Not only Rashford, many Manchester United players are also not serious and very soon Ruben Amorim will also do the same thing he is doing to Rashford to them and if that will make the team performance change and be able to become the Manchester United we know before then there is no problem.

If we talking about head to head statistics certainly Manchester City is too strong for Leicester this because since 2020 for Premier league matches Manchester City is unbeated from Leicester they even can won with big scores several times since that year but i don't think we can used these statistics as the reference anymore because Manchester City currently in periods of poor performance

Actually beating Leicester is not hard task for Manchester City as long as they can found their touch again but seems it won't be easy considering Manchester City mentally players looks down even all the players were unable to in form including Haaland and the odds for Manchester City is @1.35 certainly they are the favourite

If Manchester City lost this match against Leicester City Pep Guardiola needs to be sacked, the reason why I said that is because Manchester City is losing many matches, out of 13 matches played they won only one, drew 3 and lost 9 matches, the team did not know what is wrong with them and the coach is also confused, If it is a team like Real Madrid or Chelsea Pep Guardiola will have been sack by now, Pep Guardiola needs to leave the team before he the team sack him and lost all the respect they have for him.

If Manchester City lost this match against Leicester City Pep Guardiola needs to be sacked, the reason why I said that is because Manchester City is losing many matches, out of 13 matches played they won only one, drew 3 and lost 9 matches, the team did not know what is wrong with them and the coach is also confused, If it is a team like Real Madrid or Chelsea Pep Guardiola will have been sack by now, Pep Guardiola needs to leave the team before he the team sack him and lost all the respect they have for him.

If he is not Pep Guardiola and if he did not win many Premier League titles and 1 Champions League with them, they already sack him. Manchester City respect Pep Guardiola with great things he has done for them, and give him a lot of patience for improvement and exit this terrible crisis, but one or more losses will put Pep nearer to a sack decision from the club.

He still has time and maybe one loss by Leicester City won't cause a sack, but more defeats will bring a sack to him. It's very shocked if Manchester City lose to Leicester City, even a draw can consider as a bad result for them.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy is not having an easy life lately as the new manager for Leicester City as his team had already suffered three losses in a row and it might be tough for Ruud Van Nistelrooy to turn the table around due to the limited pool of players for selection in his team. Leicester City will play against Manchester City in their next upcoming match but I think they will suffer another defeat against Manchester City as Pep Guardiola are in desperate need of a win to prevent Manchester City from slipping further away from the top 4 spot on the table.

Player quality in Manchester United and Leicester City are different and some good matches with Manchester United possibly come from their player quality, but I don't deny good contribution from Ruud Van Nistelrooy. In a smaller and weaker club like Leicester City, with worse player resource, Ruud has more troubles but it is very understandable.

A club just promoted from Championship normally struggle in Premier League. Leicester City are facing with that classic challenge so is Ruud, but I really hope that Ruud and Leicester City will succed with their fight for staying in Premier League.

Although you say Manchester City easily beat Leicester, this is very doubtful considering Man City's game has been so bad lately.
Even doubting Man City's victory is better for a draw than a win.
But will Man City's defeat continue? Well this is difficult to predict even though Man City's small team opponents are sometimes difficult to win, there are always obstacles they face, especially in terms of their defense.

It is difficult to guess who will be the winner in this match because both Leicester and Man City are in poor form. They both have only gotten one win in their last 5 matches, it's just that Man City is a little better because they only lost 2 times, while Leicester lost 3 times. Even though Leicester will be playing at home, I doubt that they will be able to take advantage of that. What is clear is that neither team currently has good morale, so this match could end in any way.

It's better to be safe than sorry. For me I will just enjoy the fun of the game but make a bet no. Reason been that it's hard to say for sure how the game will turn out. City hasn't been in their best performance and Leicester city who are still finding their place in the league can be unpredictable. If City can play a draw game with crystal palace and Everton then anything can happen against Leicester city.

A possible draw can be more realistic but it's still a risk bet. I possible narrow win for Leicester is still possible because City hasn't been in their best of performance lately. In all this can be anyone's game and both have equal probability of winning or the game end in a 1:1 draw just has it was recorded for city against Everton

Don't expect anything from Manchester City right now because they are already very down and I don't know when and how they can rise even though overall Manchester City is better than Leicester but betting on Manchester City to win is not a good choice when they are in a slump like now.
Manchester City's current slump is the biggest since Pep Guardiola became Manchester City coach not only failed to win in the last 4 matches but Manchester City has experienced 9 defeats from their last 12 matches, that's very bad.

The slump experienced by Manchester City this season in several matches is indeed very big because conditions like that have never been experienced by Manchester City in the past or since Pep Guardiola coached the team. So it is true what you said that betting and hoping for victory on Manchester City for now is a very sacred thing because with a team that is not strong enough like Everton, Manchester City cannot win. So for now it is better to bet on other team matches than Manchester City matches.

The English Premier League is not one of these random easy League where one could simply predict its winner, we're talking about a league that comprises of different elite teams that are very competitive and ambitious. The Citizens management board have extremely exercised patience following the disrupts poor performance of the club under Pep Guardiola. They're trying so hard to figure out what's wrong with the club but there's uncertainty unfold and this is huge obstacle for the club. 13 games and counting and yet, no improvements of making a difference. Pep Guardiola time is up when it involves his managerial role in Manchester City. Pep Guardiola have struggled this season, he's not confident anymore but as time goes on, he's sorting out meaning routes to improve his team and overcome these barrier of not recording winning.

Manchester City have never won in their last 4 matches, they have felt 2 defeats and 2 draws even though looking at the opponents they faced, victory should have been on their side, when they faced Everton in the last week for example, they could only get a draw. On paper, Manchester City are very favored, that is beyond doubt. However, the advantage on paper is not something that can guarantee victory even though their opponents are classified as very weak opponents. Leicester themselves will certainly realize something that Manchester City is currently experiencing. They will take advantage of the situation experienced by their opponents to be able to steal points.

Don't expect anything from Manchester City right now because they are already very down and I don't know when and how they can rise even though overall Manchester City is better than Leicester but betting on Manchester City to win is not a good choice when they are in a slump like now.
Manchester City's current slump is the biggest since Pep Guardiola became Manchester City coach not only failed to win in the last 4 matches but Manchester City has experienced 9 defeats from their last 12 matches, that's very bad.

the question is, can you comfortably bet that Leicester can win this game even though we are not sure of what is happening to man city as it stands? go check out the odds and the win probability that is still given to Manchester city despite their poor form and you can tell that it might just take a single game for them to bounce right back.  if city cannot beat an 18th position Leicester that is still struggling not to be relegated, then this definitely is the worse of them and we can be certain that this is more than a cause that is affecting Manchester city.

on a normal day, this a game that city can even rest a lot of their players and still win this game comfortably but unfortunately, the reality has put the coach and the players in a position where they have to play every game as though it is the biggest game they are going to get feature in for the season. after a 1:1 draw against Everton in the boxing day my faith in them has reduce but this is going to still be a smoth win for them.

Well as it's stand now in the premier league, I think only a crazy gambler would even think of playing Manchester city to actually win because Manchester city and infact the entire premier league is no safe zone for gamblers cause the end results of almost most of the matches this period is way off as the entire teams in the league are playing like they want to lift the trophy. As for Manchester city and pep guadiola, the formula is no longer working and he should just let it be and move on before his entire coaching career become dented cause of this one bad season.

Previously I thought in the near future manchester city would rise, but the draw from everton also indicates that they are still in a critical and unconvincing condition at this time, Guardiola, who previously never had a losing streak, this season he really got a test in his career as a coach, what happened to Guardiola at this time is really concerning but I don't think it will be a stain that erases all his achievements so far, I personally also began to think about not betting on Manchester City with  bad condition like now, while the failure to win over everton is not something strange at this time considering Arsenal and Chelsea failed to win over everton.

It is not surprising when Manchester City failed to win the match against Everton because Everton is indeed in high confidence and also on the other hand Manchester City is in a slump now.
Regardless of the final result, I highlight the performance of the Manchester City players who seem to have no confidence and even the chemistry with each other is very bad, especially when Halaand failed to execute a penalty which made him very frustrated.

Now there is no other choice for Pep Guardiola but to make a major overhaul in the January transfer window, and Manchester City management must support that in order to get this team out of its slump.

This season has been absolutely crazy. Lots of surprises happen and teams that last season had to struggle to avoid relegation, now they are playing with full confidence and it is really confusing to choose which odds we should take. No one would have expected that Man City would slump like this, therefore before they get 3 wins in a row, so it would be very risky to bet on Man City.

The transfer window is closed by already, January is this coming week, we expect Pep Guardiola to be really busy in strengthening his squad, after that I guess things might be a little better and may even get better with time. Also, I hope they can add another nine for alternative to Haaland to be honest, if Julián Alvarez was still available their attack won't be this bad, anyway Pep will be hoping Haaland find his feet in goals again.
These are issues team faces sometimes and Pep getting similar challenges shows it is not an exception for any coach, things might not go as plan but how and when they bounce back that makes the difference.

Successfully holding Arsenal and Chelsea to a draw, of course this has increased the confidence of Everton players. So this should have been a match that could have been predicted from the start about what the final result would be.

Currently, Man City has not been able to return to winning ways, the team continues to experience setbacks and the coach has not been able to find a solution and strategy to really return City to winning ways. And for the next Man City will face the lower team, Leicester City, and I hope Man City can win this match.

Meanwhile, more about Everton, for the next few weeks they will continue to face quite tough opponents, and will soon face the top team, Nottingham Forest. And I am quite curious about what surprises Everton will give in the match against Bottingham Forest

Yes, in this season the matches in the English league are indeed difficult to predict, the surprise this week is that the top ranked teams or those who previously had extraordinary performance had to fall to the middle ranked teams including Man City. Pep's troops are no longer a team that we can rely on in 1x2 betting, I have experienced too many defeats from 1x2, maybe it's better to bet on a few goals in the future. BTW, now Arsenal is back in second place in the standings, a narrow win against Ipswich Town brought them to that position, shifting Chelsea.

I don't want to speculate that this is the end of Pep Guardiola with Man City, even though their performance is very messy this season. We know very well that betting on City seems very risky, they look like a team that is struggling to recover. In their last five matches, they only won one, that was in the 14th week, in the remaining matches they lost and last week they were held to a draw by Everton at the Etihad. Again I didn't expect City to be this exhausted, a team that always appears strong but this time they are starting to be eliminated from the trophy race. It seems that Pep needs something to raise the motivation of his players, because it would be very bad for them if they don't get back on track. It doesn't have to be to compete again in the title race, because the current points are quite far from Liverpool. Although in football nothing is impossible, it seems that Pep only needs to focus on getting his team back to its best performance. At the same time, there's nothing wrong with trying a new formula. On the contrary to what you said, I hope Pep is able to lift City's performance back to its true level. because, it would not be fun if this team experienced a decline in performance, especially if one of the inhibiting factors was because their players were injured.

Liverpool is playing great in this series.  Arsenal have been competing brilliantly with Liverpool but now Arsenal are 2 matches behind. Now if they win 2 matches more than Liverpool they will be level on points. Meanwhile, Man City, the most talked about team in the Premier League, has fallen far behind in the points table. And Man city's performance doesn't seem like they can return to the top position in this series.  Leicester City play Manchester City tomorrow here is a chance for Man City to collect points by winning an easy match.

Pep Guardiola have struggled this season, he's not confident anymore but as time goes on, he's sorting out meaning routes to improve his team and overcome these barrier of not recording winning.

It was easy last 4 years until things turn around. It was so easy to predict Manchester City to win the Premier League because they were winning every games they got there hands on and from that performances, it was too obvious, only Arsenal was challenging them that time but one could tell how it was hard for them to compete that if they had won, one will say they got lucky by winning but unfortunately, in all of their trying times they couldn't match their energy.

However, of recent teams has improves that to predict the winner is very difficult. Liverpool are the only team that can likely win but even them, when you think they are not going to lose, they do and allow other teams to get closer and then they change afterwards to do better. My mind is still with Liverpool to win this league, no team are worthy to challenge them for now unless if they misused the chance they have created so far in the table.

So for now it is better to bet on other team matches than Manchester City matches.

Honestly I never expected this worst performance from Pep Guardiola who was once rated as one of the best manager in the world, I think the team is underperforming presently partly due to their aging players example Gundogan, Silva, Walker, Kevin Debryne and injured Rodri and ne few signings are not effective, Doku, Sarvinho etc hasn't live up to expectations, moreso the likes of Halaand, Grealish, Doku and Foden are average players now without much impact in most of their matches, their next match is away against bottom Leceister City I hope they win that match else they would continue to strutill the end of the season.

I may have been a bit reckless and bet on Man City to win, it doesn't have to be a big bet so I'll do it one more time to see how far Man City can go. It's only a few bucks I guess it won't matter as long as I'm prepared to lose
Let's see if they can end this bad run, at least for the game against Leicester City.

Manchester City are really in a critical challenge now that it very difficult for them to win their games, even teams which they are far better than in performance before but right now they struggle to win average team. With the number of games Manchester City have failed to win  in this season their is no need to rely so much on them when it comes to betting. For now let's just have it in mind Manchester City is not that strong team that we used to know in premier league. The present performance of Manchester City should be use as a guide to tell what their performance may be in upcoming games.

The slump experienced by Manchester City this season in several matches is indeed very big because conditions like that have never been experienced by Manchester City in the past or since Pep Guardiola coached the team. So it is true what you said that betting and hoping for victory on Manchester City for now is a very sacred thing because with a team that is not strong enough like Everton, Manchester City cannot win. So for now it is better to bet on other team matches than Manchester City matches.

I think this is the worst season for Pep Guardiola during his coaching career. He has really struggled to get the best performance from his team this season and this has never happened before with Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is actually an expert in his field, but somehow his team is really having trouble winning game after game.

This season Pep Guardiola may have to forget about his big plans to defend his 5th consecutive title in the Premier League, because the team's performance has really changed. Players seem to work hard to score goals, but they are very slow and often fail to finish. Defense is weak, creativity is reduced, as is goal productivity. So this is a big disaster for Pep Guardiola and so far he is trying to get out of the problem of this very poor team performance.
