Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Accardo]

Amorim has not been in this team for long, it is indeed disappointing when he can not quickly fix the team, but on the other hand, it seems unfair to immediately label something bad to this coach without giving more time. He came with a very messy team condition, he had to put the puzzle together one by one.

Yes it is true that Amorim has had tough start with team and it is disappointing. But it is also not fair to criticize him too much without giving him enough time to show what he can do. He took over team that was in mess and has been trying to fix it and make it work better. In my opinion it is reasonable to give him another season to show what he is capable of. But if he still can not make things better people in charge should think about whether they want to keep him and they should look carefully at how team does in each match. We will just have to wait and see if Amorim will get another chance next season.

Whoever attacks Amorim for Man U's underperformance this season is ignorant of management and reaching an objective. It takes time for players to get used to a fresh coach's terms and routines. If he leaves the club the new transfer decisions he's made would fireback and the club will have difficulty progressing well next season. The administration is indecisive by changing coaches like clothes.

The administration is indecisive by changing coaches like clothes.

I agree that Ruben Amorim need to be given more time and chances to show off his management capability but people have many reasons to be disappointed with bad results from a club they love a lot. It's reasonable feeling from fans but Amorim deserves to be given one more season, with a next summer transfer season for purchasing players he wants for rebuilding the squad to match with his favorite tactics that can maximize his management.

If Manchester United can not give Ruben Amorim patience, at least with one more season, they will stuck in their own bad management by hiring and sacking head coaches. Ruben Amorim shown his ability in Sporting Lisbon and I think it's enough to give him enough time.

You've said it well, but of course, any of my tone was not with a 100% certainty, no one knows tomorrow. But as Man U is weak, there are still clubs in the EPL beneath it that are weaker, and that's where my disposition was drawn from.

Besides, Man U is at the 13th position by the time of my post, there was still a whole 7 more spots down to the relegation zone, so it's practical that it is difficult for the club to slip so low even as the season is barely 2 months to be over.

Manchester United won't be relegated not because they are good or strong, but the reason is both Wolverhampton and Leicester City are too weak. Those two clubs have only 17 points and they have 20 points less than Manchester United. With 9 matches left, there is no risk that Manchester United will be relegated to Championship.

It gives them enough safety to maybe sacrifice Premier League and focus completely on UEFA Europa League. Winning Europa League will be a booster for them directly to be eligible for Champions League next season. This ticket can be helpful for their summer transfer season as it will make them more attractive with star players who have more interest of playing in Champions League than Europa League.

[Mr Reporter]

As for Manchester United, their era of dominance and consistency in games is by the corner. The team have started improving individually, collectively and otherwise. When Amorim took over the team, it was very difficult to identify weather the problem is from the players or board because judging by players quality they all where above average players yet there was no result. But now the introduction of academy players and new signings have slightly yielded results and will improve more if they can continue on their current performance level

You can not judge the performance of a team or club because they win 1-2 match rather performance is judge based on what the entire team is playing and how consistent they are in winning games. The only time I will say they are improving is if from now henceforth they didn't lose any match again. And to me it seems the academy boys are doing absolutely well than the players they bought just that the academy boys need more experience and they are not strong enough.

judging a team performance based on just one or two wins can be sometimes misleading, consistency is the key and it's essential to evaluate thier overall gameplay and performance throughout the season, Manchester United academy players for instance have shown great potential with some impressive performance in the under18 premier league and FA youth cup however you mentioned they still have lack of experience and strength compared to more established players.

from what is seen that United's performance under Amorin has indeed declined, maybe that's why people have a different view, yes, Amorin needs to be given the opportunity to improve it again, maybe that's the right thing to do without criticizing first, and that's a tough task for Amorin even though he has tried, but everything takes time to maximize the existing performance.

[Adiljutt156]

Hahaha...relegation indeed! Man U has done woefully this season as it had done in the previous years, but relegation is not a thing, perhaps I will stop watching EPL entirely if Man U relegates. On a serious note, the loss has tarried for too long, as the management wrongly thought it was the coaching issue in the wake of their problem, but sacking José Mourinho and later relieving a diehard supporter like Ole Gunnar has not changed anything yet. That is why I think junior coaches like Amorim will only try, but may not witness serious results. As for the match with Nottingham Forest, it's a loss for Man U already, unless they are lucky, because Nottingham Forest is no joke this season and the match will take place at the City Ground.

Manchester united is underdog in this encounter with Nottingham forest, the best result Manchester united can get is a draw. But am petty sure Nottingham forest will win this game,  its so sad to see a great club like Manchester united struggling to get bad to their feet in recent time.

After Ferguson they Manchester united haven't been the same again, they have changed different coaches yet no way out the struggle continues. I think is obvious the management of the club is the major problem and not the coach, because they have had good experienced coaches yet no change.

Manchester United football team will play next match against Nottingham Forest football team and that match will be in the  City Ground and both teams will try to win this match. Head to head performance of Manchester United  football team is well because that team won 3 matches out of 5 matches and Nottingham Forest football team won 2 matches. Manchester United team won last 2 matches and Nottingham Forest team won last 3 matches. Martínez is injured in this match and he is defender of team and Shaw is also defender .Nottingham Forest Goalkeeper is injured and it is big loss of that team and that team will lose this match . Nottingham Forest has upper position on the table as comparison to Man City.

[Cossyblack]

Nottingham Forest will beat Manchester United hands down. Judging by the current records and performance of Manchester United this season,it's more convincing that the teams as a whole lacks confidence,no teams spirit and they overall playing pattern is poor and wouldn't give them an hedge against Nottingham Forest.

Surely Nottingham Forest will qualify to play in the champions league,they deserve it and I love to see them play and win more matches in the champions league. I am impressed with there Overall performance this season, and am sure if they can retain this current forms for the champion league, they will go far and make more progress.

Nottingham's end of season goals are much higher than Manchester United's, they are aiming to finish this season in the top 4 and to do that they can't drop points, especially against opponents like Manchester United when they are still finding their game. It seems to me that Amorim has also started to doubt his ability to change something in the team, and although they tell him that he will get enough time, they told ten Hag the same thing.

It is possible for Nottingham Forest to finish in the third place. Nothing on earth can stop that from happening, not even Manchester United. The effort the players and the team members led by the coach have put in this competition was so surprising. Who would think Nottingham Forest will follow in the title race, going into the Champions League next season? Manchester United strength is no match to Nottingham Forest. The game will be tough.

It is very easy to say that Manchester united can not even stop them because you are judging based on the current form which is not the best way to make a prediction or depict the outcome of a game. You have to also check their history that is there statistics, what they have been playing before now and so after checking this you should know more better what to predict because history is always history and I don't even see Nothingham forest winning Manchester united even though Manchester united is not in a good form.

You want to use history to analyze the match between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest,I wouldn't say is a bad idea but it's doesn't change anything because what we are looking at is the current Manchester United teams that are not in forms going against the current Nottingham Forest,a formidable opponent that's have  proven to be in forms based on their excellent performance and satisfactory records this season. My stance about this matches haven't changed,I am still optimistic that Nottingham Forest will defeat Manchester United with ease. Let me shock you a bit,I am a Manchester United fans,i am so disappointed with my club performance this season and I have lost total confidence in the players,I am not going to support them since they're not doing well and I will always speak the truth that there's performance this season is unsatisfactory.

Nottingham Forest has upper position on the table as comparison to Man City.

the upcoming matches between Manchester United and Nottingham forest is shaping up to be an exciting one, Manchester United has a slight edge in thier head to head performance winning 11 out of 14 matches with Nottingham forest winning 2 and draw 1 however Nottingham has been on a hot streak winning thier last three matches while Manchester United has won thier two last match.
The last I checked I think this player called Chris wood is also consider as he's been ruled out with a hip injury Dispite this Nottingham forest position at the top of the table above Manchester city's is a statement to thier strength this season the match is scheduled for April 1st one thing for sure I no will happen the both teams will battle against thier self in other to win.

[DaNNy001]

Some EPL teams played the FA this weekend, Nottingham  Forest in particular player today against Brighton that's why the match against Manchester United was scheduled for Tuesday,

Yes, and finally,  Nottm Forest returned to show the quality of their performance. Yes, they won against Brighton, their tight competitor in the EPL who in the last few weeks has been quite up in performance. But this time, Nottm Forest was able to excel and indeed even though with quite tight competition. The competition was very balanced, until finally penalty shootouts could not be avoided. and the penalty result was very tight, the score 3 - 4 ended for Nottm Forest's victory and continued to the semi-finals.

So far, Nottingham Forest have won 3 matches with penalty shootouts, this shows a significant improvement not only in accuracy but also in their mentality.

Nottingham Forest -- penalty-shootouts [/i][/size]

This is why checking head to head is very important before betting on a game..stats clearly shows here that they have had a draw three consecutive times which clearly means that the chances of them having the same result in their next game is possible... Nottingham forest put up a good challenge against Brighton yesterday even though it seemed like the home team had more chances of winning...This is why I said that the odds are just arranged to trick gamblers, the penalty shoot out was also a good one from them even, I thought they wouldn't make it.

In as much as I believe in checking head to head to know what may likely be the outcome of a match which may not also determine the actual result of a football event, buddy I agree with you that the present reality of a team should be given utmost consideration in matches to Ike this because if we only consider history which am not against, we should also know that the players that were present then are no more in the team, the manager that was in charge of the team is not the one that's there no so many things might have changed and thats why we may be seeing a different play pattern that may begets a different result too, I think it will do us good to consider the underperformed Manchester United in other not to hurt our dear feelings if our expectation are not met in this particular match.

I wouldn't want to conclude on who wins because this is the game of soccer which involves surprises, so let not be too sure of any of the teams so that we won't get pissed of at the end, the truth is that, the red devils aren't in good form and I think it is a great concern for the club itself and the fans too.

Amorim's team still needs some more powerful players to be able to support the team's performance for a better direction, because Amorim does not have to be fully blamed in this matter because when Amorim was designated as Manchester United coach, the team was also not in good condition. So it is very feasible for Amorim to be given even more time in order to prove that he has a good ability to train this team.

It cannot be denied that Amorim failed to make Man United good in the Premier League but not in the Europa League because they have actually performed impressively so far and have the chance to become champions. Amorim comes with a completely different twist, so it must have surprised the Man United players who were not used to the new strategy, so it was reasonable that they could not play well straight away because they needed to adapt and I am sure not all of them could fit in with the new system. If Amorim is given the funds to carry out the overhaul as he plans, I am pretty sure he can make Man United better.

[KTChampions]

Hmm... so you consider the previous years when City were completely dominant and there was practically no intrigue to be interesting seasons? Formally, Liverpool are also dominant this season, but this is completely different because Liverpool were initially underdogs and many doubted that they would even be in the title race given Klopp's departure. This season is a real breath of air compared to the stagnation that was before.

As a Liverpool fan, I did not expect to be in a title race this season. I thought it would be a season of transition with a new manager, I was thinking top 4 would be a good season for Slot in his first season at the club.

The title is not won yet though, even though it is very likely we will be champions. Everton up next at Anfield and we owe them a beating after the very late equaliser at Goodison a few months ago.

Yes, everyone thought the same, Klopp's departure seemed like a disaster. No one could have expected Liverpool to show great consistency and City to fall from their heights at the same time. By the way, Liverpool are now going with exactly the same efficiency as in the 2021-22 season, when they were one point behind City - 80% of the points scored. But this season there are no competitors which are capable of keeping up this pace.

There is no certainty that Nottingham Forest next game in the Emerate FA Cup will be a draw. That is why gambling is unpredictable. In football and other sports any event can change the cause of a game. Like we said yesterday in Turkey when Galastataray lost to Besiktas because of a red card. There will be just two outcomes for Forest; lose and win. I want Nothingham to win because they have two of my country men . Although they are not doing well internationally but we wish them well in their clubs.

[Arenga pinnata]

You can not judge the performance of a team or club because they win 1-2 match rather performance is judge based on what the entire team is playing and how consistent they are in winning games. The only time I will say they are improving is if from now henceforth they didn't lose any match again. And to me it seems the academy boys are doing absolutely well than the players they bought just that the academy boys need more experience and they are not strong enough.

But it is quite unfortunate when this team has so many star players who are even very high quality when these players defend their respective national teams but when they return to the club these players seem to have lost their best performance. So I think the problem lies in teamwork or strategy which is not very good. But for now I can personally say that Man United has improved a little. Because in the last 4 matches, at least this team has not experienced defeat, even though several times they only got draws and were only able to score points. But I still believe this team improved when they managed to hold Arsenal to a draw and then beat Leicester with a fairly big score. A tough test awaits, namely Man United having to face Nottingham. And after that Man United will face Man City. So I think if Man United can at least get a draw in these two matches then we can say this team has completely improved.

But actually it is a fact Manchester United performance is very poor as one of the elite teams in the Premier League and is currently in the middle of the standings, imagine out of 29 matches Manchester United only won 10 matches meaning they only won 33% of all the games they played so this is worthy of being called poor performance. Indeed, there are still 9 matches left but somehow I'm not sure Manchester United can do something especially when their defense is still very bad who have conceded 40 goals in 29 games. Next season Manchester United must make changes to the team line-up especially in the defensive line.

[Lannakosa]

Amorim is tactically good. What have kept Manchester United to survive in most tournaments is because of the tactics and changes in their game play we see off recent. If you notice there was an improve in their defense not until Heaven was injured who knows how long he will stay before he comes back. In the meantime someone else must try to play his role because he has helped the team a lot. What Amorim needs is time and money.  He will get new players to do his work.

It's too early to say that Manchester United's defense has improved, the last few matches are small statistics. Let's see how Manchester United play against Nottingham and City, these teams can be a good test for their defense. Time and money are what should have helped ten Hag change the team, but it did not help him, maybe Amorim will not have such freedom with transfers as it was with ten Hag, for this they need to show at least some achievements, and they do not have them yet.

Next season Manchester United must make changes to the team line-up especially in the defensive line.

Man United's poor performance started last season and the previous season too. But this season is indeed the worst for Man United. Because they even came close to the relegation zone this season. And from the beginning of the season to the middle of the season, we saw that Man United continued to lose a lot of points. And actually Man United only had time to improve and get a lot of full points when Ruud came temporarily to this club. but then Ruud left and Amorim came and we again saw man united losing a lot of points. But recently Man United has not always lost points. At least they won several times and managed to hold a strong team like Arsenal to a draw. So, the only hope we can hope for from Man United this season is that they can return to the top 10 by winning more matches in the remainder of this season. Although that won't mean much for this team.

[Slow death]

This was inevitable, because Amorin arrived after the middle of the season, the squad was already formed and had some players who had problems and Amorin removed them from the team, making the remaining players on the team less motivated to play well.

Working well on the players' psychology involves spending a lot of time with them and to get good results it takes many years until a strong bond is created between the players and the coach. Manchester United must keep the coach for many years to have a strong and consistent team.

Yes you are right, even if Manchester united doesn't return to the top 10 it doesn't matter but if they can win the Europa league then it will be more than enough for the team and it will be an honor for Rubin Amorim because whether they finish at top 10 or not it doesn't change
 anything because they won't still go champions league talk less of Europa but winning the Europa will be a direct ticket to the champions league next season and I have the feeling that Manchester united performance will change from next change even if not entirely but it will be way better than this year performance.

[Abu-Naim]

Yes, everyone thought the same, Klopp's departure seemed like a disaster. No one could have expected Liverpool to show great consistency and City to fall from their heights at the same time. By the way, Liverpool are now going with exactly the same efficiency as in the 2021-22 season, when they were one point behind City - 80% of the points scored. But this season there are no competitors which are capable of keeping up this pace.

Personally, I don’t expect such an amazing performance from Liverpool this season, I also believe that if Kloop leaves the team, they will struggle for like two season before Arne Slot will get things right since he don’t have Premier League coaching experience, but the reverse is the case; Liverpool outperformed Arsenal and Manchester City, but all these performances come as a result of the players we expected to leave after Kloop but stayed to add one more season, and Arne Slot was very lucky to maintain Kloop’s standard and battery of football and that’s why the players didn’t struggle anymore and they keep playing the way they used to play.

Slot is an intelligent manager, he knew that if he changed the game pattern of Liverpool, the team will fall, he decided to maintain what was there since all the players are still there and he succeed, I just hope they will be consistent to lift the Premier League title since almost all the important players are leaving.
