Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[SuperBitMan]

Something good was shown by Manchester United when they managed to hold Liverpool to a draw. Because indeed holding Liverpool to a draw in their good game is not easy at all, but Manchester United can do it. This is what often happens to them, yes when they are more believed to lose, they can actually play better and manage to get points, but when on paper they can win, they actually lose. I think it's safe to say that a draw is a result that feels like a victory for Manchester United. Not to underestimate them, but the fact is that with what they are experiencing now, the result is quite satisfying.

A fight shown by United and beyond my expectations actually. Facing a team that is at the top of the standings but they were able to hold Liverpool to a draw with their 2 goals. Not a bad result considering what Amorim has achieved so far.
The result should motivate and strengthen the mentality of United players for the next match. Facing Arsenal in the FA Cup, and several matches that they must maximize in the Premier League. United also still has to fight in the Europa League, Amorim has a lot of work to maintain the consistency of his team's games with some news of their players who are ready to leave United.

The success of holding Liverpool at Anfield must really be able to motivate United players to immediately rise in the next matches. In addition, Amorim must also be able to convince the Red Devils owner to add some new ammunition in this transfer window. I am sure Manchester United will rise again and achieve the target to be in the top competition of the standings at least they must be able to finish in the Europa League zone.

One thing you must know is that for some seasons now when ever Liverpool is inform like this they always win and score Manchester United many goals and Manchester United was aware of that, and that was why they tried there best in making sure it will not repeat itself again, Manchester United have good players, however the players always lose focus and that is why they are always becoming inform in a particular match and then dropping form the next match, there defense is also lacking they are not consistent and also the integration of new midfield partnerships, such as Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo, has been good but requires time to develop cohesion and effectiveness.
One thing Manchester United New coach should do is to always change formation when he discover his former formation is not working this was what helped Manchester city to come back, if other team knows your formation very will be very easy for them to win any match you are playing with them, well I believe Manchester United will come back but I doubt if they will perform the way they did when Alex Ferguson was coaching, a team succeeding is because of coach if a player is not ready to play well the coach should discover it immediately and change him and even stop him from playing, a coach should know when to change formation, pep guardiola is a very good coach when his team was not performing very well he tried everything in other to discover the cause of the problem and fixed it.

Of course, most clubs with poor performance challenges will use the opportunity to bring in new players when the transfer window opens. Nobody can predict City performance because they are still playing in their shadows. Their last two victories does not guarantee a win in their next match. Pep needs to put his men back in form.

Manchester City is still in an unstable situation, I agree with you their 2 wins in the last 2 matches are not a guarantee that they will be able to achieve the same thing in the next match. We also remember some of the previous matches they also got wins, but after that they also had to accept defeat even in a row. Pep has been here for a long time, so he should have been able to detect what is the source of the problem of the team he is handling. then in the transfer market he can bring in players who can make a big contribution to the team's game. Actually their squad is still a good squad, even in terms of chemistry they should also be good because they have been together for a long time and there have been no major changes in the squad.

In my opinion, the problem lately for Man City is the finishing, no player can do that right now, Haaland is having a hard time as a striker because there is no reliable passer behind him, because if the problem of ball possession and opportunities for Man City still dominates its opponents, then indeed in the transfer market later Pep must do something by bringing in several players to stabilize the strength of his squad so that it no longer experiences ups and downs in performance in the matches that will be played.

In the last two games, Manchester City started to show their performance again. Haaland scored two goals and became the star in the West Ham United game. He may play badly in some games, but in my opinion, he is the best striker in the world. He plays perfectly in every position, whether it is with his back to goal or with a header. He is a player who has reached the level that every player can dream of. Moreover, he is very young. He can play for Manchester City for years. Of course, if he does not have other dreams.

The match was a disappointing match for me because I lost the bet and Arsenal will definitely feel sad about the situation that befell them and indeed as the host it is very unfortunate that Arsenal lost to Newcastle and of course now Mikel Arteta needs to improve Arsenal to be better and of course I hope Arsenal who are now in the EPL are in 2nd place of course I hope Arsenal do not give up and I hope Arsenal can focus more on the EPL. but of course I am sure in the 2nd leg of the League Cup Mikel Arteta will definitely learn from the experience that has been done and of course there is still a good opportunity for Arsenal because there is a 2nd leg which of course Arsenal must be able to take advantage of when they face Newcastle later.

It was not only you but many gamblers and fans were disappointed. I am still thinking how the whole Arsenal loss such a bright game. Arsenal was in good position to win the game but negligent and poor defend mechanism were the key things affected them in the game.

in my opinion Arsenal will be fine in the EPL and of course some people will think like you but for me Mikel Arteta will definitely be better in the EPL and I am sure that with Arsenal's defeat in the League Cup against Newcastle I am sure Arsenal will be able to rise but indeed Mikel Arteta's task can be said to be heavy because of course Arsenal's rivals are very tough like Liverpool but I am sure Arsenal will try their best to be able to compete with Liverpool.

If only they reposition themselves and improved on their skills and approaches before they can do well again if not, Chelsea will be their second name. 😂 Mikel Arteta has to think outside the box to improve on the team. He has to think where in the field is lacking good performance. And as for me it is the defense. Arsenal defense is poor. And they have to improve on it.

Tottenham vs Arsenal match I am sure Arsenal will have great potential to win, you can see H2H and surely many people will predict Arsenal will win.

That has always been on ground. Arsenal will win but at the end we still blame one person to another. Many people were disappointed yesterday match and we were having this the same confidence but was only disappointed. Newcastle United scored their first goal in first half and we were thinking that Arsenal would do well in the second half but irony caught us up.

Arsenal were unlucky not to score despite dominating possession and creating over 20 chances! Now the team faces a tough choice—go all-in with the first team for the second leg in Newcastle or field a rotated squad and focus on bigger goals. The League Cup isn't the top priority, with Champions League qualification much more important via the Premier League. A trophy is nice, but is it worth risking fatigue for this?

[SatoPrincess]

I feel pity for Manchester United supporters because just looking at one you see a supporter who has lost belief and confidence in his team as well as lost their bragging rights to their rivals. For years now they have struggled to regain domination in the league since Alex Ferguson and all efforts seem fruitless. As it seems it will take the help of the most high to get out of their current situation.

Hats off for Forest. They overachieved this season. They will really surprise me if they can qualify for the Champion League. They're equal to the Arsenal, and better than Chelsea or Manchester City.

I'm feeling Forest is gonna win PL, then continue with UCL, and hibernate for several decades.

That's unbelievable how they reach 40 magical points just to secure their positions from relegation zone and get additional bonus for UCL spot. Amazing!  

In as much as Nottingham Forest's has been enjoying a fine form in the English Premier League doesn't mean that they are on the same level with Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea.  And if you feel that Nottingham Forest is going to win the epl then you will keep feeling for Infiniti. Forest winning the EPL? Are you serious? Their interest should be ultimately securing a spot in the uefa champions League next season and also work on their recent progress too.

[ITExpert]

I expect a tough game for Liverpool,  mind you, they lost the first fixture earlier this season against Nottingham Forest do not forget in a rush..... Arsenal will be against their london rivals who doesn't get along together  ( Tottenham Hotspur  ) and they will definitely maintain the second spot because I'm certain they'll get all three points against Tottenham Hotspur. The one game left to play as well would be against their rivals Everton,  they won't get it easy during that fixture.

Nottingham are the only team that managed to beat Liverpool this season, it would be good for the intrigue in the Premier League if they did it again. I think it is quite possible, although initially few took them seriously, they were able to prove that they are capable of beating their opponents and if they beat Liverpool the difference between them will be only 3 points. But on the other hand, Liverpool are strong enough to beat any team, so the match should be exciting.

I think Nottingham has been the strongest team this season. And Liverpool have played well this season as well so Nottingham can beat Liverpool. You are absolutely right, but this should not make Liverpool weak, everyone has their own opinion, some considered it weak and some considered it strong, but Nottingham showed their own talent and success.If you look at the difference in matches between these two, Liverpool have drawn 3 matches and Nottingham have lost 3 matches.  So this match will really see a lot of fight and interest which will show who is stronger in the match.Right now there is a lot of time in their match, so both of them should prepare themselves and work hard so that the match does not end in a draw, but one of the team loses.

I agree that it’s extremely unlikely Nottingham Forest win the PL. I’m not even confident they will qualify for the PL. We are only half way through the season, they could easily collapse and finish midtable.

Our (Liverpool) next game is against them, I am really not looking forward to it. It’s going to be a really tough game but I definitely do not think they can win the PL.

There is no doubt that Nottingham Forest is in very good form this season. Nottingham Forest has been in the top 4 of the table for a long time. And now Nottingham Forest is in third place in the table. Even then, I do not think that Nottingham Forest is worthy of winning the Premier League title.

Nottingham Forest's overall performance is stable. However, I do not think that this team is very strong. There is still a long journey ahead. And it is very difficult for Nottingham Forest to maintain a good performance in such a long journey. Nottingham Forest's attack performance is a bit weak. Liverpool has managed to score 45 goals in 18 matches. Nottingham Forest's players have scored 26 goals in 19 matches. If they want to continue their good performance, Nottingham Forest's coach should strengthen the attack more.

[Pokapoka124]

There are rumours that Guardiola wants to strengthen several positions and maybe it will not be superfluous, given that some players are not getting any younger and are hampered by frequent injuries, and those who remain in the ranks are getting tired. Now City will have a few easy games, this will give them time to rest a little and regain confidence in their abilities, before the important match with PSG in the Champions League and the match with Chelsea in the Premier League.

Pep should have done that last summer, that is where he made the mistake, i know he likes to work with a very small squad (in terms of number of players), that is fine, but it is also important to freshen things up in a team, sell a few players and bring in a few, Ferguson used to do it when he was manager of United.

When you freshen things up in this way, you keep the hunger of the team alive, the new players you will bring in would prolly have never won the EPL, so they would motivate the other players who just won 4 in a row. It is hard doing business in January, but if he can get a few signings over the line, then City should be able to secure 2nd or 3rd place at the end of the season.

I don't understand you. Why did you say that Pep Guardiola made a mistake by not signing any player last summer? Have you forgotten that that same Guardiola won the Premier League without signing any player in the summer windows before? It's just unfortunate that things turned out like that for Pep and his boys but I’m sure he will be actively involved in this ongoing transfer window to be able to buy players.

For years now they have struggled to regain domination in the league since Alex Ferguson and all efforts seem fruitless. As it seems it will take the help of the most high to get out of their current situation.

As it is those guys are still in good faith and the only thing is that they don't have faith in the club in this season but all their hopes are in the next season. They believed that this season is already gone they the coach will be focusing on building the club for next season.  The fans believed very strongly that Manchester United will bounce back in next season. But I didn't see that coming because if really Manchester United will bounce back again from next season then they would have done well in this season even though they didn't take the first or second position of the season third or fourth position would have been encouraged but they are far from that as well.

Nottingham Forest are truly overperformed so far and they can continue their big dream with target to end this season in top four, similar to Girona in La Liga in the past season. With a small club like Nottingham Forest, this will be very massive achievement for them. What will happen in a next season is not too important with them now, they can fight and enjoy every match till the season ending.

If they can achieve a high position, it's big success, but if they can not get a high position like one in top four, their performances in this season are impressive enough and they can be proud of themselves. Newcastle United and Manchester City are behind Nottingham Forest and they won't let Nottingham Forest to finish with a fourth position too easily.

Indeed I will be surprised if Nottingham Forest are able to finish the session withing top four. They have being very impressive, going against all odds and coming out victory even in the toughest of games this season. Finishing the season with European competition qualification will be a dream come through for the club.

Obviously, anyone dreaming Nottingham Forest is going to win the Premier League trophy this season must be joking, because I don’t think there is a way of doing that, even though football is full of wonders. Although they are in their best form this season, nobody doubts that, but winning the EPL trophy is something very difficult for them.

Liverpool, Arsenal, and others are in the same race, and we think it will be possible for Nottingham Forest, no way. But as you said, you are right; they can prepare themselves for next season and also secure the change of qualifying for the Champions League competition but not winning the EPL trophy.

As it seems it will take the help of the most high to get out of their current situation.

The change of several managers after Alex Ferguson left apparently could not improve the conditions at Manchester United. Starting from Moyes, Giggs, Louis van Gaal, Mourinho to Ruben Amorim now.

I think they are too quick to change a manager, we can see how Jurgen Klopp brought Liverpool from the dark ages to one of the most feared teams in the present era. Do you have the same thoughts as me?

[Asiska02]

In the last two games, Manchester City started to show their performance again. Haaland scored two goals and became the star in the West Ham United game. He may play badly in some games, but in my opinion, he is the best striker in the world. He plays perfectly in every position, whether it is with his back to goal or with a header. He is a player who has reached the level that every player can dream of. Moreover, he is very young. He can play for Manchester City for years. Of course, if he does not have other dreams.

Every player has other dreams and in the case of Haaland, he will be willing to stay in Manchester City for now and only explore other options sometimes in the future. The level at which Manchester City is playing now is a chiloive for most players not only when they underperformed all of a recent but it looks like they are getting back on their fit and will try to challenge back for the league title.

Manchester City position now on the table can help them fight for the top four on the premier league title but in the fight for the premier league title will be very hard for them considering the point gap between them and Liverpool which is quite large and Liverpool have been in top form and are not ready to lose any point now. It will be a very difficult situation for Manchester City to finish in a good place this season than they did in the past season. They were out of form for too long and will affect them very well this season.

[Unsoldier]

It is good that Manchester City has started winning their matches again in the Premier League, but they should first play against a strong club in the Premier League and win before I will be fully convinced that they are back to their winning ways. With so many points Manchester City has dropped in the Premier League, it will be difficult for them to catch up with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. If Liverpool wins their outstanding match, they will be leading Manchester City with 15 points in the Premier League table, which seems difficult for Manchester City to close in with Liverpool, so Manchester City's target should be how to get to the top four of the Premier League table, which allows them to qualify for the UEFA Champions League competition.

Currently, the position that is most likely to be pursued by Man City is indeed a ticket to UCL, namely in the top 4 positions. Because chasing Liverpool, who is already leading the standings with a big difference in points, will indeed be difficult. In fact, Liverpool has the potential to increase the point difference if they win Liverpool's postponed match.

Talking about Liverpool, don't forget that today Liverpool will play against Tottenham in the EFL semi-finals. And I think Liverpool will most likely win this match.

It is true that it is very unfortunate that Man City has not won too many matches which has finally made Man City's fate difficult to become champions again and indeed if you look at Liverpool who have lost 1 time and drawn 4 times and won 14 times of course this will certainly make Man City more difficult especially now Man City has played 20 times and it is true that Liverpool's postponed match could result in 3 points and will certainly make Liverpool pocket more points.

It is true that only a ticket to the UCL makes sense that Man City will be able to achieve because of course the points difference is too far with Liverpool of course this is what will make it very difficult for Man City to match Liverpool's points. Talking about Liverpool who will face Tottenham in the EFL Cup, I also think Liverpool will win and of course I want to bet a score of 4-2 for Liverpool's victory.

This League Cup semifinal feels like a clash of two contrasting stories this season — Tottenham searching for stability and identity, while Liverpool are riding a wave of form and ambition. Spurs are in the middle of a four-match winless streak, with painful losses to Newcastle and Liverpool in the league. Meanwhile, Liverpool look far more consistent, rarely dropping points and confidently sitting atop the Premier League table. In this match, we’ll likely see some rotation from both sides, but I believe Liverpool’s form and confidence could be the decisive factor here.

For years now they have struggled to regain domination in the league since Alex Ferguson and all efforts seem fruitless.

It is a pity seeing one of the best clubs in England go through something like this, the downfall has been immense and since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club they have not been the same again. It been many years now and there seems to be no improvement at all and the team keeps getting worse and worse with time. With the way things are going it will really take the intervention of the most high to get them out of this misery.
I believe they will get through this soon and they reclaim their place as one of the best teams in the league again, it will only take time but it will happen soon. We saw how Liverpool struggled also but the arrival of Klopp changed the narrative, a few teams have gone through the same and they bounced back so I believe Manchester United will also bounce back.

Didn't mean to disrespect Nottingham Forrest, but they're just lucky.

They win streak in this season, I agree it's very impressive, other teams not even able to have Nottingham Forrest's record except Newcastle. But, if you check the team of the week, Nottingham Forrest's players are very rarely being included.

This mean, Nottingham Forrest don't really have someone who really have an amazing performance.

They must try to become a champion in this season, just like Leicester City in 2015 or Leverkusen in the last year. As we can see Leicester City now is still same as a weak team and Leverkusen is struggling to back become a champion.

I wouldn’t use the word lucky per say because for them to come this far the have put in lots of work and efforts which obviously is paying off. Calling it just luck feels totally unfair and not encouraging. In my opinion I think they have done so well with their records this season, I also think they deserve to win atleast a trophy this season to put icing on the cake for a good job done.

I fully agree with you that it will be very difficult for Nottingham Forest to win the Premier League this season. I can't speak for other seasons to come, but as far as this season is concerned, I don't think they can surprise us with that. Even in the season when an average team like Nottingham Forest won the Premier League, many teams were not in form.

However, now that Liverpool, Arsenal, and other teams are doing well, I don't think it can happen. Nottingham Forest might end up in the top four if they can keep up this form. But if they mess up later, teams like Manchester City and Chelsea will take over their position.

I believe this is not the first time we've seen an average team in this kind of form. Newcastle and Aston Villa have done it in recent seasons, but they were not able to win the Premier League.

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bentancur, Bissouma; Johnson, Kulusevski, Son; Solanke.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Jota.

Among the four clubs that qualify for the EFL CUP semi-finals, arsenal and Newcastle have had their match yesterday and Newcastle won by two goals. Arsenal are in a bigger risk to make it to the final because if Newcastle defeats them in their own homes how can they defend themselves against Newcastle in their next game. Tonight Liverpool will play against Tottenham for their semi final Stage, Liverpool are in their best performance while Tottenham are a little bit declined in their performance but still base on my analysis Liverpool have the chances of winning but this kind of match are very difficult to predict because the underperformed teams normally perform excellently when it comes to matches like this.

[BALIK]

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Liverpool failed to win against Manchester United a few days ago. Even then, I would say that Liverpool is the favorite in today's match against Tottenham. Liverpool has a strong squad. Even though they did not play well in the last match, this team is still very strong. And Liverpool has the full ability to defeat Tottenham.

Tottenham is in a very bad form now. Tottenham has lost points consistently in the last few matches. Tottenham lost against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Tottenham lost against Liverpool by a big margin of 6-3. Tottenham conceded 6 goals against Liverpool. So I don't think Tottenham will be able to make much of an advantage in today's EFL Cup semi-final.
