Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Stable090]

When it comes to the Manchester United playing against Chelsea, everything about both teams changes and when though both of them have been experiencing one of the worst season ever

Manchester United is currently having one of the worst season, their performance has been so poor, I won’t really say Chelsea are having one of their worst season, their performance isn’t really poor this season just that they are not consistent this season, they are currently in 5th position which is not bad.  Manchester United is currently at the bottom of the table, but I don’t think Manchester United will focus on premier league matches, Manchester United main aim is to win the Europa league this season so they won’t want to make use of their main players in the premier league, so I don’t really think the match is going to be a difficult one for Chelsea.

Let's see what will happen then, because Manchester United are focusing on the Europa League right now. They are focusing on the Europa League, so definitely the match will be in favor of Chelsea because Manchester United's focus will be on the Europa League.

They are trying so hard to win the league. However, their performance in the Premier League competition is not good. On the other hand, Chelsea are trying to remain at the top of the standings, they are trying so hard not to go lower than 5th or 4th, so I believe Chelsea will do everything to win this match, Chelsea really want to qualify for the champions league next season.

The rivelry between Manchester United and Chelsea is too much that even if one side is on a multiple games losing streak, once they meet, that side on losing streak will pick form. The only advantage that Chelsea will get in this match is that Manchester United is having a final cup coming up very quick, this might make Amorim to rest his players. But if he doesn't rest players, Chelsea can't win Manchester United. I will only place my bet on this match, after the match day squad has been released. But due to the rivelry between this two teams, Chelsea should not expect any favour from Manchester United as Liverpool did them two weeks ago.

I agree with you that this two clubs don't walk on same path as their rivalry has been a long standing one, but saying that Manchester United wouldn't favour Chelsea is this game is tantamount to underrating Chelsea as though they don't stand any chance in getting all 3 points in this match. I hope if Chelsea gets to win this match the excuse from Manchester United fans wouldn't be that it's because they have a europa finals to play that's why they had to not put in so much effort in the game against Chelsea.

This is a fight between two elephants and definitely both Chelsea and Manchester United are in a desperate position to win this match, and for Manchester United losing this match means relegation for them and draw is a bit not welcome, and similar goes with Chelsea, and emotions aside, we can't definitely predict which club will win the match, so betting in a draw dimension is the most profitable odds at this point.

I just checked the betting exchanges for the premier league games that will be played in this week, I am quite surprised with these two games.



The bookies are underestimating Spurs and Man Utd  yes I know they are poor in this competition and probably won't be going at full steam considering they have to prepare for the UEFA league final but still they are teams with quality squads, so is this an easy bet for the hosts?

This seems quite reasonable when it comes to the EPL because for now Mancehster United and Tottenham are not really a consideration for betting even though they are still one of the big clubs until now. We are certainly aware of how their performance is and it is clearly illustrated in the current standings.

Although it cannot be denied that the match between Chelsea and Mancehster United now still has the status of a big match, but with the condition of Manchester United, which is now still a club in pain, especially in this match Chelsea is still acting as a home club in this week 37 match, it is very natural that Chelsea is very favored in this match. The chance to win or draw for United is still there but ultimately there will be doubts if you still insist on betting on Mancehster United with their current condition.

I know there are only two matchdays left in the EPL, but this will be my last bet for the season. You'll only see three legs there, but it's actually a 10 leg parlay.
All of my picks are home teams. Because so far this season, there hasn't been a matchday where all the home teams won maybe this time it'll happen. LOL.
Also, the odds favor the home teams anyway, so I thought why not give it a try? I'm only betting a small amount on that pick, so it's fine even if I lose.

What do you think is this pick worth it the risk? Are you going to tail my pick for this EPL matchday? or Nah?

[Pokapoka124]

Gunners are trophyless this season because they've failed in their fullest capacity to win matches and obtain greater heights in England. We should pour all blames on Mikel Arteta for his incompetent capacity?

We can't blame Arteta, he did very well but Liverpool also did the same thing so there must be a winner among the best teams well for this season it belongs to Liverpool. On the other hand we cannot ignore Arsenal's achievements in the Champions League even though they were kicked out but they were able to beat Real Madrid, yeah being in the semi-finals is a good record. Arsenal's weakness this season is that they have drawn more games, just imagine out of 36 matches 14 draw and only won 18 meaning they missed 28 points, from here we can judge that they need a new striker to break the deadlock of each match.

Arteta is not to be blamed for the misfortunes of the team although it’s true that he made some mistakes in his decision-making at different intervals but the players also were not efficient enough this season. They couldn’t maintain the consistency level until the end of the season which cost them the league trophy as well as the Champions League.

Why can't Arteta be blamed? I think he deserves to be blamed for always making the same mistakes every season, Arsenal's game structure or squad has been very good for several seasons, he just needs to find a deadly striker up front, but Arteta seems to make it easy every year. This is not an accident but a mistake because of Arteta's mistake, last season they only competed with Man City, but this season Man City is slumping, Arsenal is also slumping, which makes Liverpool easily win the EPL trophy.

Arteta has not been with Arsenal for long, he has been at Arsenal since December 20, 2019, and Arteta has spent a lot of money to create a squad with 34 players and only won 1 FA Cup and 2 Community Shields. Five consecutive seasons have never won the Big Trophy, Arsenal again became Runner Up in the EPL and in the Champions League only became a participant who could not compete until the final. If not Arteta, who else is to blame for Arsenal's failure to win a trophy this season?

Even if Arteta should be blamed he wouldn’t carry up to 30% of the blame. A manager’s job is to groom the players to play the way he wants and to give tactical instructions for each game it is left to the individual responsibility of each player to give their best on the pitch and that is where Arsenal players are lacking and not getting the job done.

Wether or not Manchester United draw or lose this game to Chelsea they still won't be getting relegated as the three teams Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester city has already been certified as the relegation teams this season. But, what I believe Manchester United would be fighting for in this game is for the pride of Manchester against the west London side. It has mainly being a part of the rivalry aside fighting for points. Perhaps, a draw is likely but outside that am giving it to Chelsea if there happens to be a winner because they're the one fighting for a higher course and are most definitely going to give their all.

[AYOBA]

As long as the premier League is concern, Manchester United are likely going to disappoint, first I'm seeing it that because of the ambition Chelsea have to make sure they qualify for the Champions League by winning all their remaining games, they will not keep any stone unturn, Manchester United on the other hand are also hoping to qualify for the UEFA Champions League through winning the Europa league, so they will not be that zealous compared to Chelsea, however united have been very inconsistent in their premier League games and I'm not seeing it this time around that they are going to beat Chelsea, at best a straight win from Chelsea or a draw.

This season both Chelsea performances and the Manchester United there’s not much difference, because if we look at the both performances is look very poor right from the beginning of this season, so in this case this their coming match I’m expecting the match to be interesting game. Because both of them will like to win the match, but let us wait and see what will happen in the  match since although that they give Chelsea high chances of winning the match them Manchester United; since Chelsea performance has currently improved.

Furthermore, Manchester United have tighten more of their belts if they really want to win the match, because as it stands now the match won’t be easy for them has the Chelsea is trying to move up to the 4th position in the table so they will try their all means so that they can dominate the match against Man united.

Is not about pride but Manchester United is up against their strongest openent in the entire leagues, Chelsea and judging from the present standing man United lack the basic necessity to win this match, so let not  give them so much pressure by trying to protect a pride that Manchester United may not have at the moment, hard it been Manchester United is playing against clubs like Leicester City or other smaller clubs, it could have been better, but in this case Chelsea is a hard nut to tite for Manchester United.

[knowngunman]

I am not surprised by the chances that bookies give to Manchester United because according to their previous performances, Chelsea is the clear favorite to win. Manchester United has zero wins in their previous 7 Premier League games. But Chelsea also has a final against Real Betis in the conference league, and we don't know if they will put much effort into the game against Manchester United to avoid injury, but since Chelsea also needs the 3 points to maintain their Champions League position, I believe they will defeat Manchester United.

Those are just the facts about the upcoming match between Chelsea and Manchester United, because with the current performances of Chelsea, I have confidence that they can find the match very easy to win, although both of the teams are not doing well this season, but upon that, Chelsea's performance is still far better than Manchester United's this season.

Because if we look at Manchester United’s previous matches, they’ve lost a lot of matches. That’s why I didn’t have hope for them in their coming match against Chelsea. The match will be a very tough one for Manchester United; they can definitely receive a lot of pressure with how I see their current performances against Chelsea.

The last 2 matches that will be played in this matchweek starting tomorrow. The winner is already known, Liverpool is the EPL champion.
However, this is a very fierce and decisive competition for several clubs:
Newcastle, Man City, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Nottm Forest
Where the points difference is very small and there is still a possibility of change.

If we look at the matchday list:

Source: The penultimate matchweek of the 2024/25 season

- Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Chelsea are quite threatened because their positions are stronger compared to other rival clubs

- Man City should have a much bigger chance to get back into the top 3
- Nottm Forest must be optimal against West Ham if they want to take Aston Villa or Chelsea's position

[EL MOHA]

- Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Chelsea are quite threatened because their positions are stronger compared to other rival clubs

- Man City should have a much bigger chance to get back into the top 3
- Nottm Forest must be optimal against West Ham if they want to take Aston Villa or Chelsea's position

The one thing that has kept premier league so competitive is some of these competitions for top places. The league is already been won but there is competition still left for the top five and also top 7 again. For the champions league places I will say Manchester city currently have a better chance because they are up against Bournemouth who have nothing to actually play for instead of the other games. The other team at a good chance to get three points is Nottingham Forest who are up against bottom club West Ham I expect them to win bit they have been poor over the past few games. The draw against Leicester City was a huge disaster and if they do not improve they will definitely lose points again and that’s the end for them.

As for Aston Villa and Chelsea I think if they turn up against there opponents they can simply win those games because their respective opponents are clubs I don’t expect to turn up in this games due to their participation in next week Europa finals I expect them both to simply rest players.

Then Arsenal against Newcastle United is a tricky game for both, a win confirms the club qualification to next season’s Champions League and a lose will put the club into contention for a spot and will need to win the last game. Possibly I see Newcastle winning this game because of how poor Arsenal has been this few matches

You have to see the other side of Manchester United because lately they have not been optimal when playing in the Premier League and we know the reason of course they prioritize the Europa League meaning I expect Man United will secure main players against Chelsea yeah at least to maintain stamina. On the other hand, Chelsea will take advantage of the moment of playing at home and 3 points must be obtained to be able to take 1 ticket to the champions league, if not then Aston Villa will take over the 5th place because both teams have the same points.

For the relegation zone, it has been confirmed that 3 teams will be out next season so Tottenham and Manchester United are really safe, we can calculate it from the total points in the standings assuming 6 points remaining 3 bottom teams can't do anything even though they won all the matches.

Chelsea always feels so difficult to beat United even when their opponent in the shitty season (h2h). However, they may get more motivation to keep UCL spot in their hand, and must get three points from MU. Three points from MU is very very very important to keep up their chance to qualify for UCL next season.
The odds literally says almost zero chance for MU to be up in this game, but often saw MU performed differently in the important game. They have to smash MU, or they will miss UCL.

In the Manchester United against Chelsea match, we can see from the performance of the two teams this season, Chelsea who performed quite well by getting 63 points and is competing with the club at the top.

Meanwhile Manchester United who performed very badly this season, their main problem from the start was in the defense that did not perform optimally, it was difficult for them to be able to win this match.

Chelsea will not let this be an easy match, because they also need these three points to be able to move up to fourth place, the bookies also favor Chelsea to win this match.

I don't  want to see Chelsea qualifying for the Champions league competition next season for bragging and banter sake. Otherwise,  they're the favorite for the game tomorrow night,  but will that happen eventually? Are the odds deciders of games now? I have a good memory of games Manchester United should have lost but they did well to turn things around.
I recall Manchester United winning the FA Cup competition and ended up stopping Chelsea from Champions league qualifications last season. Same could still happen with the game tomorrow night.

The team itself who is the deciders of the game, but sometimes, odds gave us clue about the potential result. However, i'm not a fan on betting on one sided. Prefer to take BTTS instead. There may be some goals to happen in this game.

In this match we can see the motivation of both teams, Chelsea really needs three additional points to maintain their chances of finishing in the top five and qualifying for the UCL next season.
This match is just a formality for Man United because they are certain to finish above the Relegation Zone because they were only able to collect 39 points from 36 matches.
Chelsea will work extra hard to beat Man United in this match, they must take advantage of the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge to get important points, the result of this match will also determine their fate next season.

[Bd officer]

There will be matches between Man United and Chelsea. Man United did not perform well this season, ranked 16th in the points table, Man United did not win any match in the last 5 matches of the Premier League, drew only 1 match. Chelsea, on the other hand, are at number 5 in the points table, rising to number 4 if they win this match. However, Chelsea would remain favourites in this match, however Man United are leading in the head-to-head record, in the last 5 matches between these two teams Man United have won 2 matches and 2 matches have been drawn and Chelsea have won 1 match. So this match can be competitive, now based on the current performance Chelsea is ahead, I think Chelsea can win, so I'll bet on Chelsea. Do you think which team is best for betting?

Chelsea will play at home with high motivation to finish in the top 5 in order to get a ticket to play in the Champions League next season so that they are clearly more favored to win the match later, especially Manchester United is focusing on preparing for the Europa League final match so for the Premier League match they have no motivation whatsoever and their last 5 matches not winning the match is proof that Manchester United will not put forward their best game for the Premier League match.

After losing to Newcastle, Chelsea struggle is getting harder to secure the last ticket to UCL next season. This match is very important for them to secure their position in 5th place, there is no reason for them to lose points because if Aston Villa manages to beat Tottenham and Nottingham gets full points at West Ham headquarters, then they will drop to 7th place and reduce their chances of qualifying for UCL.
Luckily this game is played at Stamford Bridge and Man United form has been declining lately in the EPL, three points must be secured to boost their motivation in the last match against Nottingham.

Let’s just see what will happen because it is possible Manchester United may take this match very seriously. They are playing against a big team like Chelsea, and they may not take it easy with Chelsea to win. Despite having the Europa final to focus on, I still don’t see that final as a distraction to Manchester United when it comes to a match against a big team.But to be honest, I have belief in Chelsea over Manchester United, and that is what is making me pick Chelsea as my favorite team to win the game. However, I know it may not be an easy match. Even if I want to bet on this game, I would go for the option of both teams to score because Manchester United is good at scoring right now.

[SatoPrincess]

It is not certain that Manchester United will win the Europa League title over Tottenham. My support goes to Tottenham although both sides don’t deserve to win but for the sake of Banta let Tottenham win instead at least there are just a few fans supporting Spurs around me so I can deal with Spurs fans instead.
