Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Uruhara]

Arsenal and Man City will currently focus on maintaining their positions in the standings for a Champions League ticket next season. Arsenal facing Liverpool, will certainly have quite a hard time with the resistance from the Premier League champions this season. But Man City may be very favored to win in this week's match.
If Arsenal is unable to get a win, then what happens is that their position is shifted by Man City with a goal difference. We are approaching the end of the season, and the competition for a place in the Champions League is certainly getting more exciting, seeing the points difference, which is not too far between the teams.

Man City seems to have a much better advantage in today's match. Because their opponent, Southampton, doesn't look like a strong team at all. Even though Southampton will host today's match, I think their strength is still not enough to beat Man City. And yes, I also think Man City will succeed in collecting full points in this match.

Meanwhile, Arsenal seems to have a very tough opponent. Facing Liverpool might make Arsenal fail to collect full points if it was a match at the start of the season or in the middle of the season. but because currently Liverpool has secured the trophy this season, I think Liverpool will not play with their full strength throughout the match. Liverpool will probably only use full strength at the start and start withdrawing the main players in the second half, or vice versa. Last week Chelsea even beat Liverpool. So Arsenal should be able to do it too. As long as Liverpool doesn't play at full strength.

I am almost doubting Arsenal's resolve to end in the second place in the EPL standings this season. Liverpool may have won the league already but they wouldn't want to lose another game in a row after losing to Chelsea last weekend, so at least they will want to settle for a draw against Arsenal. And with Manchester city just 3 points behind Arsenal, if City wins Southampton in their match today they will be point parallel with Arsenal which gives them a high chance of taking over the second position on the table with Arsenal dropping to third place. All of these will be determined in their next game's after this very weekend all things being equal.

If at the end of this season and Arsenal failed to end it at the second position in the EPL it would be more disappointing that after all the best shows they gave all through the season in all competitions they still couldn't end hold it next to the league champions. It won't be like Manchester city had the worst season because for any team to end in second place after going through all the losses City had and still had to end in second place then they would be better off than an Arsenal team that may end in third place. I hope that doesn't happen eventually.

Man City is still having difficulty penetrating Southampton's defense until the 35th minute now. And it was a little beyond my predictions. because I think Man City will succeed in scoring goals quickly in this match. But it seems that doesn't happen.

Meanwhile, in other matches, the favorite team scored 1 goal. Like Fullham who managed to score 1 goal against Everton, Brighton who also managed to score 1 goal against Wolves and then Brentford also managed to take a 1 goal lead in the match against Ipswich.

All matches are at almost the same minute. But only the Southampton vs Man City match has not scored a goal so far. And the match wasn't as aggressive as I imagined. Man City still seems to be at a dead end.

I believe Manchester City will win, they're completely dominating the match even as a guest. They use Foden and McAtee, Pep might sub them with Doku and Savinho if they didn't score in the first half.

Southampton play really defensive in this match, seems like winning aren't their target anymore, maybe they want draw.

Brighton is lucky they get penalty and lead in the first half, you know Wolves are really strong recently.

[fadhilz123]

Yes, I agree with you, that when Liverpool faced Arsenal later, Liverpool was actually confirmed from the start as the champion and they faced the match casually, because for them the match would be played in front of their supporters, and I saw Arsenal were quite disappointed after failing to advance to the next final in the Champions League, even so, both teams will show their performance when the match arrives.

Liverpool does not have to show anything more even though in this week's match Liverpool will play in front of their own supporters. Because even though Liverpool lost to Arsenal, the first position is still Liverpool and Arsenal will still qualify for the UCL next season, so whatever result will happen in their match I think it will not change anything for Liverpool and also Arsenal even though Arsenal's position itself could be threatened again if they cannot win the match this week.

Before games will start we already feel that the big team will dismantle the small in no time.  But sometimes things seem to be different, by now most of us were actually expecting Manchester City to be at least two goals up before half time because a win in this game is supposed to take them to second place on the table so they are going to be so serious that they will blow away the opponent. But right now, its half time and Manchester in the whole 45 minutes only managed to register one shot on target of which not so many people expected. Yeah, games don't end in first half, the second half is still here for City to win but I'm not raising my hopes high though.

There is nothing disappointing if the hope for the trophy can no longer be achieved. The other target must be a safe position for the Champions League. No matter the second or third position, Arsenal has won that position in the previous two seasons. They always compete and try for the trophy, but this season, once again they still failed.

Quite surprised with the goalless first half draw between Man City and Southampton. I thought they would get a goal in the first half, but with them dominating the game, unfortunately they did not get a goal.

Brighton is lucky they get penalty and lead in the first half, you know Wolves are really strong recently.

Well, hopefully in the second half Man City will start scoring goals and no longer make me feel uneasy. Because I bet quite big on this match. So I really want Man City to score goals and win this match. Southampton have been successful so far with their defensive strategy. But slowly Man City started to find gaps in Southampton's defense. So at the end of the first half we could start to see Man City starting to be able to play closer to the opponent's penalty box.
In the second half Pep must have prepared a better strategy to break down Southampton's defense.

For the other matches in the first half nothing changed except the Fullham vs Everton match which turned out to be a 1-1 draw.
And regarding Wolves they do look quite strong lately. So Brighton was just a little lucky because they were able to lead by 1 goal from a penalty. But in the second half it seemed something would change.

Quite surprised with the goalless first half draw between Man City and Southampton. I thought they would get a goal in the first half, but with them dominating the game, unfortunately they did not get a goal.

I am also surprised that the first half ended goalless despite some good chances created by City to find the back of the net. I believe that City. will definitely win this match because they will do better in the second half by breaking the deadlock. City is used to scoring and winning their opponents in the second half recently. Southampton is the last on the table and City will get rid of them.

[Pandorak]

Quite surprised with the goalless first half draw between Man City and Southampton. I thought they would get a goal in the first half, but with them dominating the game, unfortunately they did not get a goal.

I personally still believe Manchester City can win this match, even though City seem to have difficulty breaking through the Southampton defense to create goals, but the opportunity is always open, just waiting for the right momentum to execute. besides that, Southampton are tough enough to be able to withstand strong and fast attacks from Manchester City, as we know Southampton have performed very badly this season, based on statistics they are ranked bottom.

It cannot be imagined that a draw will be obtained from this match, even the worst possibility of defeat that Manchester City might experience, this will make things even worse, because this is a good opportunity to add 3 valuable points for Manchester City.

I also hope that in the second half Man City can make a difference and score goals. But it turned out to be the same as in the first half. Even though in the second half Man City did make more attacks and created more opportunities, they all failed and none of them scored a goal. So as we can see the result is 0-0.

I really feel very disappointed for this match. Because why can't Man City score at least 1 goal in this match. Man City seems to have become a very different team to last season. The statistics created are quite extraordinary. But the results of the match were very disappointing.

City have cut a lot of gamblers slip today by ending the match in a goalless draw against Southampton. I will say that luck wasn't on City side because they tried their best and made several goal attempts. The most annoying one was Marmosh shot that hit the top goal bar towards the end of the match. This is quite unbelievable, that City couldn't win this match.

Except for a true Gunners' fan, they would understand better the disappointment it would feel that even in a season when they were far better in performance than City yet they had to finish third place after holding on to the second position for almost althrough the season while City was sitting in 7th place. If it's about Arsenal securing a place in the UCL next season, it's guaranteed but my point isn't about that.

Quite surprised with the goalless first half draw between Man City and Southampton. I thought they would get a goal in the first half, but with them dominating the game, unfortunately they did not get a goal.

Good for Arsenal this game ended in a goalless draw which puts Arsenal still ahead of City whether they draw, win or lose against Liverpool on Sunday. I guess City were just having some hard luck in this game  against Southampton, cause they had a couple of clear goal scoring opportunities but couldn't covert any into the back of Southampton's net to get all 3 points.

Maybe Chelsea can leverage on these results in their game  on Sunday as they visit Newcastle. A very crucial points for them if they can beat Newcastle to it.

The match has just ended with Manchester City dropping two valuable points in my opinion, this is certainly a big blow to them and a huge twist in the race for the top four. Dropping this points means they have to win their remaining matches which is luckily against Bournemouth and Fulham, ideally I would have actually expected them to win this games considering their recent form but the game today shows that something can still happen, I hope they don’t actually take this form to the FA cup final against Crystal Palace next weekend because it is there only source of getting a trophy this season.
They are still in third place on the table and just two points above Chelsea and Newcastle who both play against each other tomorrow and four points ahead of Nottingham Forest, they wouldn’t be dropping off the top five this weekend but if Nottingham Forest wins then the competition will be back on

Yes, I agree with you, that when Liverpool faced Arsenal later, Liverpool was actually confirmed from the start as the champion and they faced the match casually, because for them the match would be played in front of their supporters, and I saw Arsenal were quite disappointed after failing to advance to the next final in the Champions League, even so, both teams will show their performance when the match arrives.

A loss in this game will simply just drag arsenal back into this top four race something that I will see as a shameful thing because instead of competing for the league they end up competing for top four, this game should be won by them as a compensation for the loss against PSG just to cheer up the fans a loss here will put Arteta’s future in strong doubt yet again

[masulum]

I really feel very disappointed for this match. Because why can't Man City score at least 1 goal in this match. Man City seems to have become a very different team to last season. The statistics created are quite extraordinary. But the results of the match were very disappointing.

Although their statistics look dominant, but if it ends with no goals, fans will definitely be disappointed. They are now on 3^rd position, but only 2 points away from 4^th and 5^th, and both still hold 1 match. There is still a possibility that City will be displaced. Maybe once in a while we need to take a break to see City in the UCL next season. Accompanying their rivals MU, who also hopes to qualify for the UEL from the title in the Final.

[Baki202]

Man City seems to have a much better advantage in today's match. Because their opponent, Southampton, doesn't look like a strong team at all. Even though Southampton will host today's match, I think their strength is still not enough to beat Man City. And yes, I also think Man City will succeed in collecting full points in this match.

And there game ended 0:0 Not that bad is not as if we have anything to lose because that is what a lot of people are scared Both clubs don't have anything to lose, and even Manchester City knows that is why they did not take Southampton seriously, so there is a lot that can be done, and it seems your prediction did not go as planned for you.

Meanwhile, Arsenal seems to have a very tough opponent. Facing Liverpool might make Arsenal fail to collect full points if it was a match at the start of the season or in the middle of the season. but because currently Liverpool has secured the trophy this season, I think Liverpool will not play with their full strength throughout the match. Liverpool will probably only use full strength at the start and start withdrawing the main players in the second half, or vice versa. Last week Chelsea even beat Liverpool. So Arsenal should be able to do it too. As long as Liverpool doesn't play at full strength.

Arsenal's case is different, and even if they win against Liverpool, it does not change anything because you should check how many points Liverpool is leading Arsenal by, so their winning is as meaningless as them losing, so they should just play their game because they know all hope is already gone, so they need not put in effort because at this point I know that they are only doing this because they are already know there is nothing left for them to do. Exactly what they will do, they will not play a complete squad game because they know Arsenal is not worth it, so they need to play them as if they are playing a small club, and this is what Arsenal would have done a long time ago.

Yeah very unfortunate, even Southampton can't do anything when playing in their home. Many attempts they created from the first chance, if Gvardiol didn't shot to strong, it could be a goal.

Manchester City will have one match at home and one match at away, but two of them are weak teams.

Maybe Chelsea can leverage on these results in their game  on Sunday as they visit Newcastle. A very crucial points for them if they can beat Newcastle to it.

Chelsea will have match against Newcastle, Manchester United, Nottingham Forrest, all of them are tough. I don't expect too much.

Unfortunately, the result obtained by Man City was a 0-0 draw. With so many opportunities and pressure done by Man City, it is quite surprising that Southampton's defense did not concede a single goal. Who knows what happened to Man City, but this is football and maybe now many who bet on Man City must feel disappointed.
This result allows Arsenal to stay calm in second place.

Sometimes, in football, we can't predict what will happen. In today's match, if I had been told that Southampton would be able to draw against Manchester City, I would have fully denied it. I would have said that the person did not know anything or that they were not following the match, because I believe Manchester City is far better than Southampton and has everything needed to win the match. But surprisingly, the game ended in a draw, which nobody was expecting.

I would say that this is even a moment when Manchester City needed the match most, but despite all their efforts, they still ended the match with just one point. As for the Southampton team, I don't know why they played so seriously, even when they have already been relegated. Maybe they just wanted to have a good record against Manchester City. If that is the case, they should have played like this against other teams instead of relying on defensive tactics. If they had, they might not have ended up relegated.This is how they always play against big teams whenever they are relegated. It’s similar to how they played against Arsenal last season when they were also relegated. The funny thing about Southampton is that they were only able to gather 12 points out of 36 matches played it is really very bad.

It is clear that the results of Southampton and Manchester City are profitable for the casino because there must be many gamblers who choose Manchester City and fail to win from the relegation team and also fail to approach Arsenal.

And besides that, Manchester City's position will certainly be shifted by Newcastle or Chelsea if one of them wins, Manchester City dominates the entire course of the match and has 26 shots and 5 on target but cannot produce a goal. Of course, many football lovers would not think that Manchester City could not win the match against the relegation team, but in fact the result was a goalless draw.
