Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

M.City won again, this time by a different score.
Chelsea and Arsenal lost points tonight. These points were very important for the championship race.
If Liverpool wins tomorrow, the point difference will be 8. Liverpool has 1 match less.
Liverpool will beat M.United comfortably.

[sokani]

Chelsea's performance has depreciated tremendously. Their defense and frontline are no longer as formidable as before. Any team in the Premier League can win them if they mean to. I am no longer sure whether they can make it to the top 4 this season.

I watched the first half and I couldn't continue the game because I had other things I needed to take care of. From what I saw, Chelsea was brilliant, they had control over the game, and also had some good chances before Palmer found the back of the net. I must say that It's the assist from Sancho that blew me away, the trickery and ability to find the right pass in a very small space. I guess the second half sub changed the game for Palace and they stole a point. I know it's not the result Chelsea fans wanted especially after a back to back defeat but they're still very much in the title race. They just have to keep working hard and avoid dropping points.

Manchester City thrashed West Ham today at the Etihad and I think we aren't talking much about how improved they are now after enduring a poor run both in the English Premier League and in Europe. With their win today, have now won their last two games and picking maximum 6 points after winning just one in 13 games in all competition. Manchester City might not be back to their best but the truth is they're getting maximum points at the moment.

This is the second game in a row Manchester City is winning after their set backs they were suffering recently,  it's beginning to feel like  they are better now and can begin to restore the hope of possibly getting back on the title race again this season.  This fixture got them with every form of their brilliance, they dis performed well as compared to their most recent performances due to their set backs,  but then they hopefully maintain this new four.d form as I did mentioned earlier after they won their last game that they will definitely rejuvenate their confidence and most likely get back to winning ways.

Arsenal would be champions if they didn't drop points so easily, but they always waste the opportunities they get. You're ahead against Brighton & Hove Albion, you're playing superior, score the second goal and finish the job. But it can't happen, they have to concede a goal. They haven't won four games in a row in the league this season. Arsenal can't afford to drop points like this when Liverpool are in such form. They won't be champions this season either if they continue like that.

Arsenal seem set to repeat last season history, being a trophy contender but failing to win it again at the end of the season. I think that's the impact of the draw they got against Brighton today, it means letting Liverpool lead the standings alone, and Arsenal failed to put any significant pressure on. Most likely Arsenal will have difficulty reducing the points gap that has been created, because Liverpool continues to show very consistent performance.

I think that's the main reason why Arteta should target a sharp striker, who can make a difference in the results of the match, so that they don't lose momentum to win trophies again. Actually, I'm also not so sure that Arsenal will be able to perform consistently in the future, so that they have the opportunity to overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings. The decline in Man City performance this season should have provided an easier path for Arsenal to end their title drought.

Manchester city can finally continue their spectacular victory for them, because we know that lately they have not been concentrating at all and have not played well as they have done. But two matches with 6 points have made them return to their best form by winning matches with big scores. Haaland has also managed to find his sharpness again because he managed to contribute two goals in this match.

This victory certainly opens the way again for Manchester City to return to the top 4 and indeed the competition will be stronger because several teams appear more consistent such as Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. In addition, Arsenal's failure is of course very disappointing because they failed to stick to Liverpool after they shared points in today's match. Liverpool seems very happy with the results obtained by Arsenal in today's match.

After winning the away match against Leicester 0-2, today Manchester City also won their home match against West Ham with a score of 4-1. Haaland scored a brace, while Foden scored 1 goal, the other goal was Vladimír Coufal's own goal. Niclas Füllkrug scored a consolation goal in the home game, but it spoiled Manchester City's winning party.

Manchester City have won their last two Premier League games so far, then they will face Salford City in the third round of the FA Cup in the coming days. The 21st match is against Brentford, I think it will not be easy because Brentford is a team that is difficult to beat.

Pep Guardiola is regarded as the best football manager of his generation by many for a big reason and despite suffering a very poor run in the last three months it seems Manchester City are back to their best again. Guardiola did say Manchester City will be making some signings this transfer window to improve the quality of the squad which they're yet to do but that isn't stopping City to deliver an outstanding performance today.

Honestly, I don't agree if Maguire's contract is extended. While Man United needs younger players to get better contributions.
If that happens, I would say it's a bad start for Amorim when he has to extend the contract.

Yes, that's how it is, but both Man United and Amorim as the coach himself also want to extend Maguire's contract with the reasons as explained. However, that's how it is, Man United often makes decisions that are quite controversial and funny. I thought that Amorim's presence would change that, but it turned out to be the same.

.....Haaland scored a brace, while Foden scored 1 goal, the other goal was Vladimír Coufal's own goal. Niclas Füllkrug scored a consolation goal in the home game, but it spoiled Manchester City's winning party.

Finally, Haaland is back.
Winning streak in 2 games for Man City, great improvement for the club. And also for Haaland, now he is 1 goal behind Moh Salah as the top scorer. The competition is getting tight.

They're improving and things can only get better for Manchester city from here henceforth since the January window for transfer is around and players can be bought that'll help strengthen the Manchester city squad to give them more advantages when they play. Also Manchester city has always won WestHam when they play so this mightn't really be that Manchester city has regained their form but just a game that they'll win regardless of how poor their form are. We have to wait until Manchester city plays another club before we can conclude that they're finally back to form. When they win that club and also win in a big way as they did today then they're back in form.

Arsenal have really tried their best especially in the first half but Brighton showed lots of resistance even after conceding a goal, I must commend Nwaneri for such a brilliant goal, if he continues with such performance he'll end up like the likes of his country men ( Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman ). Anyways I'm so much in love with Brighton's performance in this match, they're not showing any sign of being the underdogs, though they conceded in the first half but they pressured Arsenal in the second half and committed them to a penalty thereby creating a chance to equalise and they're even creating more good chances to goal. I'm pretty sure lots of viewers, especially Arsenal fans would be very surprised concerning the outcome of the match, I'm not really surprised though cause I always expect situations like this in the EPL, underdogs like Brighton can be very troublesome if you underestimate them. Well, the game is still on however Arsenal just have few minutes to turn things around, let's see how it goes in this extra minutes.

Brighton playing at home have been formidable this season and I was not surprised that they held Arsenal to a draw. Arsenal have lost to teams that they should have supposed to confidently win. Their performance particularly in this match was nothing short of embarrassment. They got the lead in the first half they failed to hold on to the lead as their performance was limited in the second half and Brighton got the better part of the game where they registered more shot on goals than arsenal. I think it might be because of the absence of Bukayo Saka.

[Adbitco]

I'm still shocked at Arsenal's 1 - 1 result vs Brighton, yes its football and anything can actually happen, but Arsenal was supposed to win that game in order to close the gap between them and the table toppers. Arsenal is currently 5 points behind Liverpool, Liverpool on the other hand have 2 games at hand and if they happen to win those two games at hand, that's 6 points for them plus their 5 points in hand, that will be a total of 11 points ahead of second placed team. It's already looking like Liverpool is running away with the league, Arsenal really need to sit up for the sake of their fans at least.

[SatoPrincess]

Newcastle have been the best team in the first half and they are trying as much as they can to push Tottenham backwards and is working. Tottenham are suppose to secure the early goal and it would have reduced the pressure Newcastle was bringing, Tottenham are becoming too slow and they haven't been a bit strong in their defence that is why Newcastle are taking advantage of it, I expect more goals for Newcastle in this second half thatbis if Tottenham are no playing well in their defense.

Newcastle is currently enjoying an impressive form this season. Their recent Premier League encounter against Tottenham was interesting as they went from one goal down to produce a good comeback to eventually win the match.newcastle displayed resilience and tactical brilliance. This win does not only highlight their ability to perform under pressure but also the teams cohesiveness. Tottenham was so bad in the match that they could not defend their lead as their defense was constantly kept under pressure by the constant threat of Alexander Isak, Antony Gordon and Murphy. Tottenham's form of late has not be encouraging as they have now lost three and drawn one in their last four Premier League matches.

I admit Arsenal is enough difficult to break Brighton defender. they look desperate how to pass the ball on penalty box. That possible arteta strategy was read carefully by Hurzeler, because he know how to hold the winger and attacker. Another factor is Bukayo Saka absent. Yes, this is crucial thing that make arsenal squad hard to break Brighton Defender. The existing winger can not effectively to stumble and is always raw when the ball on the penalty box. So I think, Arteta should emphasize another movement, if he keeps moving from the winger, they will get stuck because this position is only suitable for Bukayo Saka.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Is Arsenal a better competitor or they're a joke to their owners and supporters?🤔 This is becoming serious for a team many people are hoping on lifting the trophy to be playing a very unserious football. How can they win when they don't have what it takes to be the champions? I noticed something about Arsenal maybe I'm the only one that is putting too much meaning to it. I don't know if is Man City that is giving Arsenal the morela to fight hard to be at the top or second on the table because since Man City have not been at the top 4 of the table the Gunners have not been that competitive at all, by this time last season they're either 1st or 2nd on the log but now the second position they're in doesn't look like they needed to be their to add more pressure to the league leaders Liverpool.
Well I still can't say if all I said is what has been happening to the Arsenal team because looking at them yesterday against Brighton is not the kind of team that wants to be at the top that played, is was so disappointing.
Now we might be talking about Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea even the Nottingham Forest side to compete for the title but we forget that Manchester City are gradually coming to make the competition a bit serious because I don't see those teams below Liverpool as serious contenders, 2 games unbeaten and is something to worry about, if the Citizens continue winning and catching up to either the 3rd spot or 2nd I believe they should be given that attention they ones had.

I didn't expect Arsenal to be able to draw against Brighton with a score of 1-1 and of course this will definitely make it difficult for Arsenal to catch up with the points that Liverpool got. In my opinion, Arsenal should be able to win because of course if they don't win like what happened today it will certainly make Arsenal fans disappointed.

Of course, the opportunity is still wide open for Arsenal to be able to make Arsenal champions this season because there are still a lot of matches scheduled, but of course the condition is that Arsenal must see Liverpool suffer several defeats because it feels like if Liverpool continues to consistently win then Liverpool will definitely become champions. Honestly, I really feel sorry for Arsenal fans who have long wanted Arsenal to become champions but unfortunately Arsenal always find themselves in the runner up position. Now of course Arteta must really improve Arsenal because of course I see that it is still not good and the use of opportunities in front of goal is still not good. but fortunately the result of the match against Brighton was not a loss because if they lost it would certainly make Arsenal fans more disappointed.

It is true and clear that Arsenal struggled to penetrate Brighton's very solid defense, and besides Arsenal always getting pressure after pressure from the hosts, Brighton finally got results. And in the 61st minute, Brighton got a penalty after William Saliba was in the penalty box with Joao Pedro and the final score was tied until the end of the match and Joao Pedro's penalty execution made Arsenal discouraged from being able to cut points from Liverpool. And the absence of Bukayo Saka greatly affected Arsenal's game and results because he was very reliable and his speed could penetrate the opponent's wing defense and he was also always everywhere on the field which was very helpful when Arsenal attacked and also defended, and Arteta had to think about it because if not, bad results will continue to occur even though there will always be wins but have to think about it because the teams below are struggling to rise.

[SquallLeonhart]

To be fair, Liverpool still haven't played their game, they could get a tie or even a loss against United too, but I highly doubt that will happen. It's such a sad situation for United too, they must hate the fact that they are still bad, they hoped to get better after Amorim arrived but that did not happen, first they said lets give him some time, but it's been months and they are still bad, and now they are facing Liverpool, leader of both Premier league and UCL at the same time, so they will most likely lose again.

By logic, if Liverpool plays 2 more games and reach the same amount of games as Arsenal, and wins both of those, they could in theory reach 11 points gap. That's not gap Arsenal can close, the league would be basically over.

Arsenal wasn't a contender this season though, they were never too close, they always sucked, I mean being second isn't being bad, they are still good, just never a title contender, and for a while even Chelsea and even Nottingham Forrest was second, so we could easily say that Arsenal recently got lucky with bad results from those teams.

In the end, we are going to see Liverpool lift the trophy this year, on the first year of Arne Slot, it is going to be amazing for him. But then, there is a chance they could lose Trent Arnold, Salah and VVD all at the same summer, which would be near impossible to recover from in a single summer.

[tusandii]

Damn why Chelsea had to destroy my bet this time only able to get a draw against Crystal Palace, Chelsea should have been able to win this match based on their performance but unfortunately Chelsea was only able to score 1 goal that was in the first half, in the second half Chelsea could not do much Crystal Palace was able to equalize when the match was about to end and the score became 1: 1, this draw certainly harms me and maybe for other bettors who make Chelsea the favorite to win.

It's already looking like Liverpool is running away with the league, Arsenal really need to sit up for the sake of their fans at least.

You don't need to be shocked about that match, because Arsenal really try their best not to allow Brighton to use home strategy to defeat them and they made the match to ended up draw 1-1 for them to share points with Brighton. I think, Arsenal are still maintaining second position with 40 points in the premier league table which Liverpool is using 5 points to top Arsenal now, because we are not sure if they will defeat Manchester united  today. Since there is still time for Arsenal to display what will make them to take over the position from Liverpool, because Liverpool players use to reduce strength once the end of the tournament is coming to an end which it will give Arsenal the opportunity to break record to win this season premier league title.

In the match between Manchester City and West Ham United, I bet on Manchester City, luck was good and I won. It is very good that Manchester City players have improved their performance, they have been doing well in the last 3 matches. First, Vladimír Coufal's own goal and 2 goals from Haaland and 1 from Phil Foden resulted in a big 4–1 victory for Manchester City. West Ham United have been beaten by big margins in their last two matches.

Anyway today will be played between Man United and Liverpool. Now analyzing the past statistics of these two teams, it can be seen that in the last 5 head to head matches between these two teams, Liverpool won 2 matches and drew 2 matches and Man United won 1 match. So based on past performances I would put Liverpool ahead, but Man United could come out strong. I will bet on Liverpool, let's see which team can win this match.

[Plaguedeath]

So, how many goals will be scored by Liverpool today? 3,4,5,6, or 7 just like the remarkable history in the last year.

Manchester United will not able to resist against Liverpool, Manchester United is just a mediocre team because they're currently at 14th rank. The possibility Manchester United will win is almost zero, except Liverpool lost two players, that's when I think Liverpool might be lose.
