Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Dump3er]

Well it really frustrating to see Manchester United's facing  thier current situation, they have really take the idea of calling for squads refreshments just as you have mentioned of getting rid of outdated players and bringing in new fresh talents should be on their mindset as soon as possible, well despite of thier recent struggles there is still way  forward for them this season, for now some effective factors are contribute to the team's performance this season pulse lack of preparedness for new season because from could say that for years Manchester United have been a well skilled team which then were dealing with some effective home made players but at the end suddenly change happened, my questions is that do you think a change in leadership or a well pick of talented player's could turn thing around for them?

It's frustrating though and I'm sure their fans are sick and tired of how the club dwindling each season. I understand that Manchester United has drawn a list of players to be sold but the question is, who wants those players? I also think that the price tag on those players maybe the main reason why clubs are shying away from them. They are not that prolific and shouldn't be demanding for huge sum of money for them. I think Manchester United needs some of these players to go in other to allow new ones to come in.

We saw with the Antony transfer how successful a player who failed to perform at Manchester United could be in Spain. Antony, who revived with Real Betis, had a fantastic loan spell. I'm sure Amorim is closely monitoring the situation of the loanees. If not, they should, as Manchester United may not have the budget to spend huge sums on transfers. Dozens of failed transfers from previous years have left the team in a difficult financial situation.

He is monitoring it, but what is the best for the player and the club is not determined yet. If Antony can't handle the Premier League and feels more comfortable in Spain and foun a team that he fits into, it's not as easy as calling him back hoping he would do the same for Manchester United. There must be reasons why he failed during his first season.

I don't know whether he left when ten Hag was still there or when Amorim was already there, which means that maybe there is a chance to do it better this time when he will work with a new coach. It could change a lot of things for him for the better.

[sotelorene]

Exactly right, that's why Arsenal are so aggressive in this transfer window and they are not giving up on targeting the striker. Almost all of us think Arsenal will be different next season especially if they manage to bring in Viktor Gyokeres it means the fight will be more intense between 3 other elite clubs Liverpool, Manchester City or Chelsea. Previously I thought if Gyokeres failed to come to Arsenal then the other option would be Osimhen but maybe Osimhen will ask for a higher salary therefore Gyokeres is still the main target..

We have seen a lot of goals Viktor Gyokeres has scored for Sporting CP since Ruben Amorim signed him, and I think if Arsenal could be able to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP this season, I believe Arsenal has gotten the point man that can successfully lead them to win the Premier League title. If Arsenal fails to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, Arsenal will not likely go for Victor Osimhen because Napoli wants to sell Victor Osimhen at £75m, and Arsenal won't want to buy a player that will be a free agent next season at that high price.

One thing you guys has forgotten is that Portuguese Ligue is not as strong as premier league, yes I know Viktor Gyokeres is a good player but that doesn't mean he will give Arsenal the premier league trophy if he comes, it may be possible but we shouldn't talk about it as if it is certain or guarantee and don't be surprise when he will come to England and won't play like he use to... In his former club, I will love to watch him play in Arsenal and see how far arsenal will go next season and I'm sure he has different offer but I believe he will choose a club that will make him shine well which Manchester united can not do that for him, judging based on current performance though.

This is a great tragedy for the family and a great loss for all of us. I read about it today and couldn't believe it happened. According to the police, his car had a blown tyre while overtaking and the car was carried to the side of the road, then it caught fire. It's a great shame that the children are left without a father, Liverpool is also shocked by this news.

Death is a natural part of life, it comes when we least expect it, it is very unfortunate, he is a person who was just starting his life, he had been married for 10 days, he had his children, his wife, everything was fine, wow suddenly he is gone, so these things are very hard, in the Club World Cup Neves and Cancelo in their match against Fluminense that they lost they cried, really very hard, I hope his family has enough strength to get over this pain quickly.

It is truly heartbreaking to hear about such sudden loss especially for new couple and was married for only ten days. Shock and sadness for his loved ones must be overwhelming. It makes sense that players like Neves and Cancelo were so emotional after their game and this is natural. Intense moments in regular life even in sports can create deeper feelings especially when in case of any death. We can  hope his family finds strength and support in this pain and  find some peace.

And here, of all the clubs from the Premier League, Man United has had quite a good development in the transfer market so far, oh, not only that, after finishing only in 15th place, this time, too, Man United still hasn't been able to optimally utilize the transfer market to improve squad performance and minimize unnecessary spending.

as what stated in this following post:

Source: Premier League

Lately, I'm not all that worried with the incomings but why have they struggled selling out these players who are no longer needed for the club. We've read too much of that patience talk but we need these transfers done before the preseason tour. Bryan Mbeumos is my major concern,  I hope we can.get to do so before the ending of this week. Really,  these lame ass comparisons are pointless Man Utd will be back .

There have been too many mistakes made in the past so that what is being done now is very difficult to fix and I am not surprised by what is happening now because they have no more efforts after stating that they want to save costs or not spend big money in this transfer market and by only wanting to sell some players who are not included in the team's plans is not the right decision, no team wants to buy players who are declining in performance at a standard price.

[LUCKMCFLY]

If you've been impressed, I will say otherwise. Pep Guardiola did done transfer deals but there's something missing still, I don't know why I still feel like he's far from winning the Premier league competition next season? Did you see how they played against Al Hilal? My guess is that the set up and coaches were different. Inzaghi caused City havoc.

In that you are absolutely right , the truth is that the demonstration that Inzhagi gave was unique and Pep is somehow trying to get rid of that style of play that was unstoppable , the truth is I don't know how many things he could do to go and win a PL, but if he continues with the level that he showed against Al Hilal it is very difficult for them to win, even Haaland looked very bad, the only one I saw who played with everything or who had was Foden.

Moving on to other players, Bryan Mbeumo remains a primary target to bolster the Red Devils' attack. Unfortunately, the transfer remains stalled and has even reached a stalemate. Despite this, Manchester United are still pursuing the player and have submitted a third request.

And I think that is the reason why this season man united is quite difficult to be able to bring in new players, not only because of their shaky finances, but in the next season they also do not have matches in any European competition, so man united does not have more value to be able to bring in top players. The offer submitted by Man United is considered less attractive when compared to its rival Man City.

So far, Man United has only been able to bring in 2 new players from the transfer market and 2 young players from their junior club. And yes, the reason why Man United is quite slow in the transfer market in getting new players is probably what you said. Man United is no longer an interesting team because Man United doesn't have big competition in the coming season. So it is quite natural that some players targeted by Man United will think twice when they receive an offer from Man United. Because of course every player will be more interested in teams that will have big competitions in the coming season, such as in the UCL and others. And if Man United competes with teams like Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City then it is clear that Man United will not be at an advantage. Because the players who are being targeted will definitely consider teams other than Man United which have big competition. However, if Man United is able to provide a higher offer than other teams then that could bring a stronger attraction. And we also need to know that currently many people are starting to doubt Man United in the coming season.

For me though, I am not even wishing for Manchester city to win the premier league next season, they've before Liverpool won it last season won the league title for two or three times consecutively, so they should rest so that other clubs get a chance too 😁, most especially my dear Arsenal..

Sorry to you guys if you guys are fans of Manchester city, this is not me wishing you guys bad but then, it's also bad to be selfish 😁, if you guys win all the premier league titles, what then will be left for other clubs? 🤷

Lol, don't mind me there, I am just kidding but on a more serious note, I really want Arsenal to get the league title to their name, it's been a long time coming and I hope they are making sound preparation to ensure they achieve this in the coming season..

[Gallar]

It's a depressing state of affairs at United. Are they trying to sell those on loan first who don't fit into Amorim's plans (Rashford, Anthony)? But there are 5 weeks left until the start of the season and even if United suddenly make a chain of deals, how will Amorim have time to prepare the team for the season (even though the whole of last season was sacrificed for this haha)? At the moment it looks like United have nothing to hope for. Even getting into the European cups would be a success.

Yes, the Premier League season will restart in just over a month, so Manchester United should have everything they need by now, including any new players they might need to bring in. But in reality, Manchester United hasn't made many changes to their squad, only bringing in a few players so far. Furthermore, Manchester United hasn't made any moves regarding player sales. Manchester United should act quickly and not waste too much time. If Manchester United continues like this, I think they'll be in a very difficult situation. At this point, Manchester United really doesn't seem to have a well-organized preparation. If Manchester United had a well-organized plan, I think they would have made significant improvements.

But strangely, Manchester United still seems relaxed, as if they have no problems. In fact, they are currently facing quite a big problem. If their performance continues to be poor next season, I think they will return to being a bottom-tier team. Even if Manchester United's team performance were much worse, I think they could be relegated next season. So, looking at that, Manchester United's problems are truly serious right now. They need to realize this now and start preparing better if they want to compete well again next season.

[SmartCharpa]

Should we always call Arsenal always ended up at second place like three season a mistake ? I don't see it as a mistake because I don’t think Arsenal could have performed any better than they have over the past three seasons. Arsenal simply didn't have the squad to win the Premier League, which is why they’ve been struggling to win it. Even with their efforts, they still ended up in second place.

It is true that last season Manchester City wasn’t in great form, but Liverpool was in excellent form, so it was a challenge for Arsenal to win the league. What has really been affecting Arsenal is that they don’t have adequate replacements for their key players. Once one or two of their star players are injured, they begin to lose form, and that has been their issue over the past three seasons.

If Arsenal is able to sign the players they are aiming for, even if Manchester City is in form, it is still possible for Arsenal to win the league. The reason why Manchester City has been dominating the Premier League is because other teams, including Arsenal, haven’t had squads as strong as theirs. But currently, both Liverpool and Arsenal are making serious efforts to sign great players, so they can strengthen their squads. Arteta is a great coach, and if he is able to sign the necessary players, Arsenal's squad could be as strong as Manchester City.

We cannot consider it a mistake to finish second for three straight seasons in a row, but I expect them to learn from their mistakes and buy more players at the start of the season before finishing for the third time. If Arteta realizes their faults at the start of the season and buys top players to improve their performance, they can still win the league even if they focus on the Champions League.

That is the main problem that is affecting Arsenal, they are unable to find good players, and when one or two of their key players are injured, they suffer for the rest of the season. Last season, when Saka was out for a few months, we noticed how much it affected their games, the attackers were weak, and they lacked someone who could press an opponents defender as they do when Saka is fit.

However, when it comes to recruiting players, Arsenal always prefers midfielders, perhaps they don't have issues in other positions. Arsenal is considering signing Madueke, in my opinion I don't think it's necessary with his performance at Chelsea. Signing Gyøkeres as a striker would be a better option, but he must show that he can do well in the Premier League too.

I just don't know if the hierarchy of Manchester united still have interest in the club or they have given up on the club because all other top teams are preparing for the new season by acquiring the kind of players that can improve their team but in the case of Manchester united, their case is different upon the terrible season they had last season, they should have been the most active team in the transfer market, but they just don't care, and just as you have rightfully said, if they do not improve their team in the transfer market, things might even go from bad to worse this season if care is not taken.
The only person am feeling pity for is Ruben Amorin because he left a sporting Lisbon team that gives him peace of mind to a team that has taken away his peace since he moves to the club, and let's not be surprised if he is sacked next season when things has started going ugly.

And we also need to know that currently many people are starting to doubt Man United in the coming season.

Making a high offer with a transfer fee, bonuses, and a large salary is not the solution, as we know Manchester United's current financial situation is dire. They must learn from last season's experience; high transfer fees and high player salaries have left them in a slump. If this trend continues next season, their finances could collapse, unless Manchester United is sold to a Middle Eastern businessman known for his generosity in developing and advancing the club.

And returning to this summer's transfer window, since the transfer window opened, Manchester United has continued to pursue Nigerian striker Viktor Osimhen. Rumors of his move to Manchester United have intensified, but unfortunately, to date, United have failed to bring him to Old Trafford, as have Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko.

With the difficulties they are experiencing in this transfer window, Ruben Amorin must maximize the potential of the players they have available and the few they have already recruited. Furthermore, Manchester United should also learn from Nottingham Forest, who managed to bounce back to compete at the top of the Premier League after nearly being eliminated from the top flight the previous season.

What happened in the Club World Cup can't be used as a benchmark, and Pep Guardiola certainly still has time to improve this team.
I've never doubted Pep Guardiola. Last season alone, they finished in the top four, and regarding the players recruited by Man City, I remain quite optimistic that Pep Guardiola is doing the right thing and fulfilling his wishes.

As long as Pep Guardiola remains Manchester City's manager, there's no doubt they will continue to compete fiercely for the Premier League title next season, regardless of whether they win any silverware, as the competition in the Premier League is incredibly fierce.

Arsenal is considering signing Madueke, in my opinion I don't think it's necessary with his performance at Chelsea. Signing Gyøkeres as a striker would be a better option, but he must show that he can do well in the Premier League too.

I can see Arsenal Management expressing interest in all the players. They want to buy Osimhen, and again they are also interested in Viktor Gyökeres. Now I can see that Arsenal management is interested in buying Rodrygo. I think Arsenal management doesn't really know which players they need.

First of all, Arsenal needs to understand what kind of players they need. A player is suitable for his squad. Because the style of each player's play is equally different. Arsenal will make big mistakes if the player is not aware of the purchase

[Abdulzuruku01]

We have seen a lot of goals Viktor Gyokeres has scored for Sporting CP since Ruben Amorim signed him, and I think if Arsenal could be able to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP this season, I believe Arsenal has gotten the point man that can successfully lead them to win the Premier League title. If Arsenal fails to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, Arsenal will not likely go for Victor Osimhen because Napoli wants to sell Victor Osimhen at £75m, and Arsenal won't want to buy a player that will be a free agent next season at that high price.

Arsenal can compete for the English EPL trophy if they can bring in new signings like Victor Gyokeres is a very excellent striker, he's quick in finding the net, he has every potential as a striker, and at least Rodrigo as perfect replacement for Bukayo Saka. When you look at Arsenal's performance last season, they started very well but at the end they were too weak in front because of some key player injuries, and there was no perfect replacement for their attacking line, but I believe they wouldn't want that to happen this season.
Let's talk about their midfield. Last season, Thomas Partey was Arsenal's greatest defensive midfielder, and now he's gone as a free agency, but Arsenal made a fantastic move by bringing Zubimendi as Thomas Partey replacement, which is a very good indication for Arsenal.

[Adbitco]

Not to deny I think Chelsea's performance has really improved recently and it's even like the new players have added quality to their game as we have seen so far in this competition. They were able to reach the final after beating Fluminense but that's by the way now, I think Chelsea's major concern now should be how they will do everything possible to win the final. Their opponent is a formidable one that have beaten almost every team they have played against this season so it will be a tough game for them but that doesn't mean they can't win against PSG.

They have a lot of time to prepare and I believe it won't be easy for PSG as well. Real Madrid mistakes were just too much and too careless that's why they were demoralized leading to being trashed. If Chelsea can avoid mistakes then they can have a good Final and probably a competitive one as well I trust they can put up a good fight.

Yeah, I agree because so far in this competition Chelsea's performance has really improved compared to what we saw during the second half of the season which was in January this year, their performance dropped drastically that they were losing and drawing games back to back which further made them to drop points and as a result were dwindling down the table. So far I have seen a different Chelsea and the new players too has really added some form of balance to the team, again those same players are already performing meaning that they are adapting quickly. Even if they lose against PSG in the finals, they've already tried because judging Chelsea of last season, I didn't think they would even make it this far.

In his former club, I will love to watch him play in Arsenal and see how far arsenal will go next season and I'm sure he has different offer but I believe he will choose a club that will make him shine well which Manchester united can not do that for him, judging based on current performance though.

every other player that is coming into the premier league comes with a full understanding of how competitive the league is so naturally, they always have no choice than bringing something more to the table as that is the only way they can blend into the huge responsibility of a team that is struggling to win trophies again after going trophy less for multiple of seasons. Gyokeres alone can not be the force that will bring about arsenals ability to winning trophy. if that is going to happen, it will definitely come from all the players who will put in all the effort to see that they play better than they have been doing in the previous seasons. that mentality of sitting back when the season starts and doing nothing serious throwing away point that matter and later in the season struggling to recover those point is a major thing hey have to first deal with. if they succeed in dealing with that and can play together as a complete team, then the possibility of hoping for the league for this season will even be close to realistic.

[Promocodeudo]

With what am seeing, chlease will do great next season,.it is already surfacing, I think you're very right that the guys has really improved a lot, I can those times, at a time I decided that I won't waste my time watching them play, it was as if they weren't training, the bad result was something else, at a time I was even surprised to see them try to occupy the position they ended last season with and also lifting the conference league title, I wasn't easy,  here they are making there fans proud, my question how are now going to scale through the world club cup finals, now that we are now in the finals toeet with PSG, although theres one thing I love Chelsea for, we aren't afraid of any team, PSG on the other hand knows that it is not going to be a work over for them.

Chelsea played well at the end of last season and secured a ticket for the Champions League. They even won the Conference League title. But did they really play well in the FIFA Club World Cup? I don't think they played very well. They reached the final against relatively easy opponents and got the chance to play the final against PSG. I would like to limit Chelsea to the final. Because Chelsea has not yet improved enough to win the final against PSG. I still give PSG the chance of winning the FIFA Club World Cup. Maybe Chelsea has a 10% chance of winning. If Chelsea wins, it will be nothing but an accident.

[Albarq]

Yeah, I agree because so far in this competition Chelsea's performance has really improved compared to what we saw during the second half of the season which was in January this year, their performance dropped drastically that they were losing and drawing games back to back which further made them to drop points and as a result were dwindling down the table.

Honestly, Chelsea's game during the match could change at any time, because there might be changes and most of Chelsea's players are at the youngest age if you look closely. And that makes the team's performance increase and makes it very powerful in the middle of the match and at the end of the match. which has shown the stability of playing with young players, of course that is the right decision in facing the match next season.
