Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Luzin]

Like Arsenal, like Manchester United. They win champions league games and Europa League games but lose their domestic league matches. Manchester were one goal up, and they sabotaged themselves to lose the lead. I am yet to see any changes in the team by Amorim, and frankly there’s nothing that gives me hope that United will improve next season.

It seems that their focus is on the Europa League. This season they are only focused on staying in the EPL. There are no EPL expectations for this season, don't expect too high. Amorim coming doesn't mean the problem is over, I think I'll see how Amorim moves next. I think Amorim must take advantage of the summer transfer market. With the condition of the players as they are now, I think they will not be able to compete again.

When teams like Liverpool and Arsenal are speaking of how they gave lead to the opposite team as the reason why they lost you dare speak about Manchester United. You and I know that if you give Manchester United and Brentford more 4 matches to play Manchester United will still not win. They are poor this season so I wont accept any excuse for them to be this poor.

In this case, I think that some of these teams have different plans. I mean, Liverpool has no more enthusiasm after getting the EPL title and has no other matches scheduled. And for Arsenal, this team still has an important schedule in the UCL and does not really care how the results of the match in the EPL and the most important thing is still able to get a UCL ticket in the next season.
Meanwhile, Man United is in 15th place in the standings and to catch the top 5 is very difficult. So Amorim has a plan to compete not optimally in the EPL and choose to focus on the UEL to get the title in the competition and get a UCL ticket. So I wouldn't say Man United is bad. Because this team is still fighting in other competitions at the moment.

What if the team currently top five are next to be at the Champions League, Nottingham Forest might be out because i feel their performance depreciating with time, the one team i am yet convinced about is Chelsea, they still have tough games ahead like playing Newcastle which both of them share the same points currently. Manchester City are making it into the Champions League, they are just three points away from Arsenal, if Arsenal should lose focus at any time, Manchester City are capable of finishing second, perhaps finishing with same points, but Arsenal leading with GD.

Although there is a possibility for Nottingham Forest to be eliminated from the Champions League zone for the rest of this season, the team still has to be a concern for several other teams such as Newcastle and Chelsea because if in today's away game Nottingham Forest is able to equal points with Newcastle and Chelsea. That could disrupt Newcastle and Chelsea's points in the remaining matches that are still in this season because Nottingham Forest will definitely improve their own performance for the rest of this season because they have seen the possibility of being eliminated from the Champions League zone at the end of this season.

Chelsea had more presure in this match and they need a win badly and thats why they won. Liverpool didnt care much about this match because they won the title and thats why they couldnt score many goals because they were lacking focus in finishing. Cole Palmer finally played a good match after a long time

Happy to see Liverpool used their B team. Can't imagine if they keep use their main squad. They might beat Chelsea if it happens.

Other than it, I also see a lot of improvement from Chelsea's side. Palmer gives his best performance since three months ago. Caicedo is playing good as always even as RB. Chalobach with his consistency when defending. So many positives showed from the game against LFC.

They're at the top 5, and have to win the rest of games. The pressure will always there, but i'm sure they can pass it.

Chelsea's next game is against Newcastle and I am believing it's going to be a really tough battle, both clubs are sharing exactly the same points and Newcastle is in the 4th place on the premier league table while Chelsea is in the 5th place, with both clubs having 63 points respectively..

Three will be a really tough battle between this clubs for who will earn the full three points in their coming game this weekend, Chelsea will do all it can to enter the top 4  in the league table while Newcastle that is already there will try to maintain their position, I believe this will be one of the biggest games aside Liverpool verses Arsenal this weekend.

This match is just a formality for Liverpool, there is nothing to chase after they have successfully secured the EPL trophy this season. Chelsea were fortunate that this game came after Liverpool had already won the title race, the three points secured would go a long way in keeping their chances of qualifying for next season's UCL alive.
Man United show a different face this season, they have never won in their last six matches in the EPL, while in the UEL, they are still the only undefeated team and are a strong candidate to win the trophy.

Lmfao!! Arsenal are bottlers how can you compare them with Manchester United? Yea Utd totally in a fvcked up situation but they will never bottle shiit like the Gunners. You're always talking about Manchester United change and stuff but your clubs yet to win a goddamm European trophy not even to win the Premier League Competition since 2004, do better. Better luck next season only of they can add special players and quality goalscorers. This is a + for Garnacho.

It will be a direct match between two competitors in top five but if none of them getting three points from the match, other competitors in top five race will take advantage of that draw and flip ranks in Premier League ranking table.

Both Newcastle United and Chelsea have 63 points but Nottingham Forest have a late match which can help them having 63 points as well. There is another competitor Aston Villa with 60 points so if the match between Newcastle United and Chelsea ends as a draw, it would result in a ranking table like

Newcastle United: 64 points
Chelsea: 64 points
Nottingham Forest: 63 points (one match to play)
Aston Villa: 63 points

If this happens, the top five race will continue exciting after 36 match day. Above ranks don't include Manchester City yet and they now have 64 points with potentiality of taking over a second position from Arsenal in 3 remaining matches.

You are not wrong here, no body should be comparing Manchester united with arsenal team here because they are totally different in ways and mentality.
Look at how arsenal has bottled and hand over the league title to Manchester city in the past four seasons if am not mistaken, if it was Manchester united that is in such a position, I am quite confident that they would at least won one premier league title in the total number of four.
I don't know if it's the mindset of the players or is it that they are lacking an experience player in their that is already a real winner that would try to impact the team positively with his mentality, but nevertheless,  in my own opinion when it comes to winning something or coming out victorious in a competition, Manchester united is still much better than arsenal because they are used to winning and it's in the DNA.
As for the numbers of garnacho, in my own opinion it's actually poor for an attacking player, playing for a top team like Manchester united, and this alone entails why they are languishing in the position they are now because they don't have enough goals from their attacking players.

Chelsea are in dire need of points because of the competition to get a ticket to the Champions League next season while Liverpool no longer have any interests so it is only natural that Chelsea can win this match without any significant difficulties.
And in other matches, I think Man United's defeat also does not need to be considered too excessive because Amorim knows what to prioritize, they are now focusing on winning the Europa League while in the Premier League they have no more possibilities so in the continuation of the Premier League match they seem to have no more motivation.

yes the next match Chelsea vs Newcastle of course it is a difficult match to guess who will get 3 points from that match because of course Newcastle will definitely try to maintain their current position. but if Chelsea they will definitely try their best to get 3 points and of course this match will be a tense match.

but if you look at Chelsea's last match of course they played well because they were able to beat Liverpool with a score of 3-1 but if Newcastle of course in their last match they drew 1-1 against Brighton and in my opinion by looking at Newcastle's last match vs Brighton I think there is a possibility in the upcoming match Newcastle vs Chelsea in my opinion will be won by Chelsea because I see Chelsea players are in their best form. so if I were in that match I would bet on Chelsea's victory.

yes I think so too of course that match will be the biggest match besides Arsenal vs Liverpool this weekend and of course that match will be very entertaining and exciting and it would be a shame to miss it and not watch it.

I avoided betting on this match, it was a good decision. If I had bet on this match, I would have definitely picked Liverpool to win.
Liverpool players did not make much of an effort to win in this match. Liverpool gave more importance to ball position in this match. On the other hand, Chelsea players made a lot of attacks despite only having 35% ball possession. Overall, Chelsea's performance was very good and they deserved to win this match. Liverpool's target was probably to share the points. But Liverpool lost 3-1

Nottingham Forest has been fighting very well since the start of the season. But unfortunately they became careless and weakened so that at first they looked like a team that would maintain themselves in the champions league zone, now everyone doubts them. Because Nottingham is starting to show inconsistency.

But I am quite sure that in the match against Crystal Palace we will still see that Nottingham can win the match and get full points. So it can equalize the number of points with Newcastle and Chelsea. And the competition will remain fierce until the end.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Chelsea started the match fast and took an early lead with Enzo Fernández scoring in the 3rd minute. Chelsea made good use of this lead and scored more goals in the rest of the match.
Cole Palmer was one of the best players of the match for Chelsea with his penalty goal and general play. Liverpool, on the other hand, were superior in possession and pressure but lacked in the final shots today.

Chelsea took this game personal and it was indeed a game to see that way and I don't blame them at all, after all if they play bad it will affect their chances of playing champions league football because if they lose it will keep them at a very tight corner and you'll know what that means, no CL games and the management will be blamed for not making use of this opportunity. Liverpool got tired to even engage in the game and you'd see how relaxed Salah and some of the players was, chase and drop back even the goal Liverpool scored wasn't one to celebrate that's why I said Chelsea took the game too personal. Palmer got his first goal since January and we all know what that has done to the young player, at least this goal will make him look important for his club.

I will blame Liverpool manager Arne Slot for the loss Liverpool recorded today. The Man went and featured fringed players in midfield and this affected Liverpool's performance. Although Liverpool have nothing to play for again, they were already the champion. But why I blame Arne Slot is because he made the job look very easy for Chelsea. I will say Liverpool aided Chelsea in the champions league qualification ambition today, which I think it's not fair to the other teams that are also gunning for the same thing. Why not field tour strong team and compete, had they not won the league last weekend Arne Slot wouldn't have filed this squad that face Chelsea today.

I agree with you, making Chelsea feel good in that encounter shows that they didn't play like they wanted to avoid defeat. That's why I have to blame Arsenal too because if they had it in mind that they are suppose to compete and make the title race a living hell for Liverpool by winning games and keeping the point gap close I don't think what happened yesterday would have happened, Liverpool would have step up their game to stop Chelsea yesterday but why struggle when we have no one to compete with us? I think that's the idea Slot gave the boys before the game and he's right, nothing to fight for and it will make the other teams to struggle x2 to get qualification. Ut is not yet over, it might affect Chelsea some how to lose a game or drop point, they are in that position but not for long.

[Cossyblack]

Chelsea had more presure in this match and they need a win badly and thats why they won. Liverpool didnt care much about this match because they won the title and thats why they couldnt score many goals because they were lacking focus in finishing. Cole Palmer finally played a good match after a long time

Happy to see Liverpool used their B team. Can't imagine if they keep use their main squad. They might beat Chelsea if it happens.

I think Liverpool using there B team was because,they have already won the Trophy and it's also a good idea to rest the first grade teams while giving the grade B team an opportunity to display their talents in the field. Moreover, they are good young & skillful Liverpool grade B players that needs to be discovered. Maybe the coach wanted to use this match as an opportunity to promote some grade B players that are potentially enough to play in the big team.

However, Chelsea can still stand a chance against the senior Liverpool teams because, Chelsea will play every thing within their own power to earned a 3 points while the Liverpool senior teams might just be so relaxed in the field with no pressure because they have already won the league. For Chelsea, the race for the top 5 isn't over yet as it's now between Chelsea, NewCastle, Nottinghamforest and Aston Villa to earned that very positions in the table,as only two teams will qualify to be among the very top 5.

Because this team is still fighting in other competitions at the moment.

Manchester United has been performing badly since three consecutive seasons in EPL, but they're still winning trophies, compared to those clubs that always finish the second position downward, they're haven't laid their hands on any trophy. In football, there's always an aim which is to win trophy be it the highest trophy or not.

But I am quite sure that in the match against Crystal Palace we will still see that Nottingham can win the match and get full points. So it can equalize the number of points with Newcastle and Chelsea. And the competition will remain fierce until the end.

The defeat against Brentford did provide a little problem for Nottingham Forest because in the next match they had to perform optimally to get full points.
Chelsea and Newcastle both collected 63 points and if Nottingham Forest can win the match against Crystal Palace then the points of the three teams will be the same so that the position to pursue qualification for the Champions League will be even more interesting.

Nottingham Forest must be wary of this match because if Crystal Palace wins the match then their chances of qualifying for the Champions League will be more difficult so there is no other way but to win this match.

Yes, Manchester United has been performing very poorly for several seasons, despite their bad and disappointing performances, they have managed to win trophies. We saw last season that United won the trophy by defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup. But it is true that good teams cannot win trophies from the second position in the point table, they rarely get trophies in their hands. Moreover, Manchester United has another goal this season, which is to become the champion of the Europa League, if they can do this, then they can win the trophy this season too. Although Man United is not able to manage their game very well in comparison, their performance in the Europa League is a bit different, only their performance in the EPL is bad.

[3meek]

Bookmakers are giving juicy odds on a Foresters win today... Crystal Palace have no motivation in the EPL and soon the final match with Man City in the Cup... Although Foresters now have a crisis, but it is very important for them to take three points to stay in the European zone... I think they will win today...

It's no surprise that Liverpool lost the game to Chelsea because that was what I was expecting, like you said, Liverpool have lost their enthusiasm and they have nothing to fight for in the premier league because they have other competitions to focus on. Chelsea won the game but it doesn't feel like a victory lol. Even the fans are not excited about it, everyone knows that wasn't really serious. It's quite unfortunate that winning that game won't change anything.
