Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[dezoel]

I believe they have whatever it takes to win the Premier League,  I'm certain they're just ome striker away from winning a major trophy. They've shown they're capable of competing at the highest levels. Tale a good look at how they played against Real Madrid last season. I've always said trophies buy you time, but he's won nothing,  the fans and management are just glad with how they've progressed. Next season, he needs to slap the gauge higher.

Arsenal and Arteta both needs to work on few things if they are looking for win Premier League it's all about mentality because without having strong mentality they could be not able to win anything in coming season as well.

Striker is their problem throughout last season, but their strategy is also problem for them Arteta fail to keep good strategy which keep his all players on good level for season they were facing problems which hurt them badly, and they lost their rhythm then have no chance of winning Premier League while Liverpool came from behind and clinch title. Coming season has never been easy because Liverpool doing good changes while Manchester City is also having some good changes which will keep them on good level, and they could be able to have better performance Newcastle United and Chelsea are also had good time to keep things on high, so Arsenal surely face challenging time.

I think the moment has passed. There will be no more such weak competition as last season. Second place 74 points hahahaha.
Arsenal was more or less good in the Champions League only because they gave up in the Premier League. Next season they are playing in the Champions League again, do you think they will give up in the Champions League to win the Premier League or as always they will fight there and there and end up as always without trophies? It seems to me that the latter is the most likely option.

We saw Liverpool's dominance in the Premier League last season. At the end of the season, Liverpool was 10 points ahead of Arsenal. This gap would have increased even more if Liverpool had given their full effort to win the last 4 matches. After securing the Premier League title, Liverpool gave their full effort to win the following matches. Liverpool secured the title long before the end of the season.

However, we will not see such a scenario next season. City is trying to increase their strength. Guardiola will make every effort to regain the top spot of the table. Liverpool will definitely try to dominate the Premier League again. On the other hand, Arsenal has occupied the second place in the table for the past few seasons, unable to win the title. This team will try to win the title again. The fight between Liverpool, City and Arsenal will be more intense next season.

He had a bad season last season. His first bad season, and do you know how many goals he scored in that bad season? 31.
A player in his bad season scored 22 goals. How many strikers today can score 30 goals in a bad season?
In the league, he scored 21 goals, that's just 1 behind Isak and 7 behind balon d'or worthy Salah.
You don't compare players who had one exceptional season to a player who is consistently at the top level. I will say it again, aside from Mbappe, there is no striker who can bench Haaland. Not Isak, not Gyokeres,, not Retegui, not Lewandowski.
Haaland, like Man City, had a bad season, and that's all it is. But even in his bad season, he was among the top 3 highest goal scorers in the league. You can only say he's replaceable when another striker has consistently done better than him, and that is why I rate Mbappe ahead of him, but even Mbappe is not naturally a striker, even though he's the better goal scorer.

Ballon D'or Worthy Salah!  
I can't help but laugh at some of you rigid Premier League faithfuls. All you think is that Premier League is the only place where good football is being played and where superstars are born just because that is just about the only league you watch

Your cognition is just caged to only the Premier League. But judging from the previous ballon d'or winners, any sane football fan should be able to judge and recognize good football outside the overhyped EPL. Haaland was shit last season, whether you want it or not. No need to sugarcoat shit.

Since they already won the league long ago before the final match day, personally, I see no reason why need to risk themselves to injury since they've already won it. Had it been they were gunning for a record breaking point of 101 points then they would have gone for it. Talking about Pep, I think his already made four signings already in this transfer window. I think his coming to compete for the trophy with Liverpool this time around since he missed out last season.

I think one thing that has been making fans of the English premier League to always believe that the premier League is the best league in the world is the so called hype that the English premier League and even players of English origins when ever they intends to do well, the truth is yes Salah did well by scoring goals and wining the premier League but going into the champions League English teams struggled so you don't expect Salah to win the balon Dior because other players too won their domestic leagues

Manchester United headcoach, Ruben Amorim is this type of coach that's concentrated on one particular pattern, he will make adaptation for his formats and also be doing ultimate moves to capitalized winnings for the club.

As a manager, if you try a particular pattern and it doesn’t work, then you have to change your pattern, Amorim have been using the same pattern since he joined Manchester United, but as we can see the pattern isn’t working for Manchester United, and Amorim doesn’t want to change the pattern, he keeps on repeating the same thing, and Manchester United performance keeps on getting worst.

The transfer window is open now, let’s see if Amorim will sign players that will fit in the pattern which he wants, but if Amorim wants to continue with the pattern which he is playing, then I don’t think there will be much changes in Manchester United’s performance, because he will have to change almost all the players in Manchester United current squad if he really want to maintain his pattern.

[SatoPrincess]

Manchester City is showing how a team should be run. They are not going out there and spending 100+ million on a player and get a star. They are getting players who Pep religiously watched and scouted and knows would work perfectly for his style. They paid 40 million and under for all their players so far, and I am sure they will keep that up.

If this goes on, they are going to build such a high quality and sustainable team that even after Pep they could do very well. I am not sure if they could make this work easily because they lost this season and if they keep losing then the money will run dry and they won't be getting same quality players, but they could keep trying their hardest to at least keep this momentum going.

Manchester City have restructured how they spend in the transfer window. I guess they have learnt from past mistakes and losses from big money deals that didn’t go well like Jack Grealish. They are now being careful and being smart with their dealing now not to overspend on any player and have him flop.

This gap would have increased even more if Liverpool had given their full effort to win the last 4 matches. After securing the Premier League title, Liverpool gave their full effort to win the following matches. Liverpool secured the title long before the end of the season.

You're right but since they finally succeeded in getting that which they were struggling for even before the final day of the season, of course they had to take it easy so as to avoid injuries. And this also happens to other teams in different leagues, once it is announced in the early stage that this is the title owner, I noticed that such team will no longer be consistent as they used to. Because they knew that with the gap they're giving other teams and also the number of matches left they're unstoppable.

However, we will not see such a scenario next season. City is trying to increase their strength

Me too, I feel like alot of teams would want to make some correction in those faulty areas to enable them do better by next season. And yes, we may likely see premier league working differently by next season.

Manchester City already has the strongest squad. But they are not afraid to spend money if necessary. They paid 75 million Euro for Marmoush just 5 months ago. You seem to forget that quickly.
Their transfers of Reijnders, Aït-Nouri and Cherki so far total 127 million Euro. That's not a small amount of money. They are still a team that spends big money. With that comes success, last season was an exception.

[Dump3er]

Yes, all eyes are on Manchester United because so many football fans are eager to see how Ruben Amorim will transform Manchester United and how they will perform in the Premier League next season, but you can't blame Ruben Amorim for being slow in signing players because he's taking his time to identify the players that will help Manchester United challenge for the Premier League title next season.

It always takes time to identify existing players so that Ruben Amorim can advise the team on what kind of players Manchester United really need for next season. Because most of the current Manchester United players are not satisfactory in terms of their performance so there are some who need to be replaced by Amorim through the use of the transfer market. So Manchester United also need to be able to take a quick stance on this matter because there is no reason to keep last season’s squad for next season.

Amorim has to carry them next season or otherwise his status as the one who can bring back success again will be gone rather sooner than later. He won't regret leaving Portugal for Manchester United as he has a great contract paying him well, but his reputation is on the line because the goals the club and he had when he was bought out, were big.

In order to compete for the trophy he first needs to develop new tactics. I have no doubt he can do it, but Liverpool are not sleeping either, they are working to be as competitive next season. I wonder what Arsenal will do, I hope they are not going to finish second in the standings once again, otherwise it will be surreal. I think they have to do something to win.

Because indeed the criteria for the winner of the Ballon d'Or is not only from his contribution to the club, not only seen from the number of scores and assists. but also the achievements of the player with his club and also his national team.

Moh Salah is indeed one of the most influential players in the Premier League. Unfortunately, he only won 1 trophy with Liverpool. So that was not enough to strengthen him as a recipient of the Ballon d'Or. While currently, the most competing for the Ballon d Or is between Dembele vs Yamal.

Yup you are right, Manchester City are still relying on money to build their squad it's just that they are aiming for the position that is needed to take over the position left by another player. Pep is given the opportunity to target any player with sufficient financial backing and Pep knows how to spend money wisely, we can see his steps in this season's transfer window and currently it is still running slowly.

Several sources report that Manchester City will spend around 400 million in this transfer window and 40% of this budget will be sucked up for one player, most of the targets are for the Attacking Midfielder and defender positions.

Thanks for pointing out that transfer to him because I can't believe he is saying Manchester city have relented when they spend on transfer if there is any team in the EPL that spends money wisely and worth every penny on the player for me I think it's Manchester city although it's a personal opinion and the reason being pep guadiola always know what he wants and gets the very best out of the player he wants. Manchester city will return stronger this season after these three signs cause pep will not allow same floppiness to occur this season.

I really don't understand how someone could even think that Manchester City are a team that don't spend big money. And the same at the end goes with Guardiola, he's one of the managers that spent the most money for players in football history. For me paying 75 million euros for Marmoush is crazy, he's a good player but 75 millions? For real? Only an English team would spend that much money for him.

Liverpool broke Man City dominance in the last four years in a very extraordinary way, it must be admitted, Arne Slot managed to prove his quality and the support of the players to win the EPL title in his first season. His success in securing the trophy before the final match gave Arne Slot plenty of options, he preferred to rotate to give enough playing time to the reserves.

Man City have successfully recruited four new players before the Club World Cup was held, an investment of around €130 million made by Man City certainly wants to maintain momentum in the competition in the following season. Guardiola has been aware of the major weaknesses in his squad so he has moved quickly to plug any holes to maintain stability in his squad.

Liverpool did it surprisingly after ending their successful era with Klopp and even they won this title convincingly, there are unexpected contributors to their success. From unbelievable free fall of Manchester City and suddenly decline of Arsenal, all these contributors are important for Liverpool success. The domination of Manchester City was broken but it needs one or two more seasons before any conclusion like Pep era in Premier League officially ends.

Manchester City have a lot of money and they don't hesitate to spend it for buying star players. So player resource is not their main issue, while whether their favorite tactics with Pep Guardiola is already constrained well enough by competitors in Premier League, will decide Manchester City's performances next seasons. I feel that their domination era actually comes to the end and Pep Guardiola will leave this club in a next summer. He does not have habit of staying with a club when things start to collapse and he loses control in a domestic league competition.

Liverpool and Manchester City are the busiest clubs in the transfer market this time, especially Liverpool who have just reached an agreement with Leberkusen to get Florian Wirtz with a fairly large transfer value. And I am quite curious to wait for next season, whether Florian Wirtz's performance is quite commensurate with his salary and a fairly large transfer value.

......................
The transfer window is open now, let’s see if Amorim will sign players that will fit in the pattern which he wants, but if Amorim wants to continue with the pattern which he is playing, then I don’t think there will be much changes in Manchester United’s performance, because he will have to change almost all the players in Manchester United current squad if he really want to maintain his pattern.

At this time the situation experienced by man united and ruben amorin is quite difficult, they ended the season with quite bad results and the performance of their players has decreased, so they have quite a hard time releasing their players. and besides that Man united also does not have a match in any European competition for the next season, so the bargaining value offered by the club to bring in new players and also star players is not too attractive.

Spending heavily in the transfer market has never been an issue for Manchester city because that's what have made them to be successful in the past decades, so this four players they have signed already is not a surprise to me.
We all saw how they struggled last season the moment Rodri went on injury, his absence was not just felt but it also affected the rythme of the team play which affected their performance negatively, so since then they have been struggling, added with the fact that their team is full of aged players, so pep guardiola knows that rebuilding of this Manchester city side is greatly needed if they want to compete for the English premier league title once again, and that's what they are doing right now.

You know some person don't actually get this facts straight, Manchester city has always been one of the big spenders in the English premier league and that has been a fact that we all know is on record, Guardiola always goes for the best, the club owners don't hesitate to give him money to get good players on his demand, this club even spends outrageously if we are to consider some stuffs, am also very surprised for such amount to be spent on marmoush just as you said despite being a good player I don't think he's worth such amount although no need for me to complain, I  think that's what the club want and this validate the fact that they are big spenders.
