Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

Bruno Fernandez is the only player in this current Manchester team that finished the season that I feel is worth keeping and carrying over to the new season. When Manchester United released a list of players for sale and Bruno was included I thought to myself that Manchester United are clueless but it’s good they finally realised that they would have made a huge mistake if they had sold him this summer.

Bruno Fernandez is very experienced and talented. Manchester united probably wanted to completely renovate their squad this season. And that is why Manchester United wanted to sell Bruno. However, selling Bruno would have faced  a big problem for Manchester united. It is not possible for Manchester united to find a suitable replacement for fernandes at the moment. ManchesterUnited has bought three talented players like Mbeumo , Cunha and sesko. If these three players can adapt to Amorims strategy quickly , then we will undoubtedly see an improvement in Manchester united's performance.

Hopefully, Bruno Fernandes's performance for the new season will improve, with the support of some new players that Amorim has. Last season, if Amorim not have Bruno Fernandes in the team, United's situation could have been worse. There weren't many reliable players last season, many of them had poor performances.
But some players have left, and they were considered problems in the team. Now, Amorim may be building a team with high hopes of performing better than last season. The challenges are great, but hopefully, we can see the changes at the start of the season.

Last season, it was as if Bruno carried the team, lol, because only Bruno was consistent and reliable, while the other Man Utd players performed poorly in almost every aspect. This season it's clear that since the transfer window opened, there have been signs that Man Utd will be heading towards something better. We can see this improvement in the pre-season matches they played. Now with the new additions to the squad, Bruno can perform much better in the new season.

It can't be that Pep Guardiola hasn't made provision for a replacement of Rodri concerning what his team had to go through from struggling with winning games to losing their first place in the EPL to Liverpool.  This new season Rodri absence would be of no consequence as am sure Pep must have tackled that using the transfer window to put his team together.

The injury came out of know where, it wasn't as if Pep was prepared for something like that to happen just after Rodri came back from injury few months ago. And you know how it is difficult to get a player who can fill up his roles consistently without flopping. You can get a DM in the EPL but he may not be as good and excellent as Rodri. Dont forget Rodri has the flexibility of a CM despite him being a DM. He offers so much  to the team which cannot be easily replicated.

Manchester United are busy strengthening last season's squad for the upcoming campaign, with Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko among the new arrivals. These three players were brought in to strengthen the attack, which will help Bruno Fernandes penetrate the opposition defense. I hope Bruno Fernandes' passing can be utilized by the new players, as Bruno Fernandes' passing last season was very good but underutilized by the forward line. They had many good chances last season, but their weak attack resulted in disappointing results at the end of each match.

Since Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, the club get good coaches like Jose Mourinho but the club has never been like before. So I am not really expecting much from Manchester United this coming season also. I do not know much about the players that the club has bought yet, but let us see how the next season would be. We have seen clubs buying good players and yet the club will not perform well. This even happened to Manchester United. Is Paul Pogba and some players not in Manchester United before and they performed bad? K still remember that time.

That's true, but at least there were attempts to improve and change. And since Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, things haven't been going well. Several new managers, such as David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, and so on, have been brought in to replace the legendary Alex Ferguson, but none have been able to restore the club to its former glory like Alex Ferguson did. However, those days are now over and will likely never return. And while those days can't be repeated, at least Manchester United isn't as bad as they have been in recent times.

Bruno Fernandes was the highest chance creator in the EPL last season, but United's strikers finishing were poor. Hojlund scored 4 Premier League goals, while Zirkzee had 3 goals. That's to tell you how terrible United's frontline is. Despite their inability to convert most of their chances, Bruno was still the 4th assist maker, with 11 assists. Now that Sesko, Mbeumo and Cunha, who are more prolific will be in charge of the attack, I'm sure his numbers will be higher.

We all have been talking about Liverpool as the champions of the EPL and how they'll dominate next season to defend their title come next campaign, that has been the question (is there any club to challenge Liverpool for the title?). But after seeing the way they played like a team that was afraid of fighting back when they played Crystal Palace in the community shield game the question have changed in no time, now the question is, can they (Liverpool) defend their title? A big question and I wonder how is that going to happen when Liverpool haven't thought of how to defend their goal line is it the title they can defend? What are you thought on this?

Since it is the English Premier League, there are definitely teams that can compete with Liverpool. If we really can't find a team, then we will go to the end of the season and see a team that we didn't consider a tough competition with Liverpool.

Others are taking Manchester City lightly, but I am putting this team in the favorite position. Besides, Arsenal already competes hard with the teams that are at the top of the point table every season, so we cannot take Arsenal lightly.
On the contrary, their performance next season may be better than the performance Arsenal did last season because they have taken some steps to improve their performance. Apart from these teams, Newcastle, Chelsea and others will also perform quite well in the English Premier League next season.

Liverpool will definitely get allot of oppositions come this year because the momentum of the premier League is definitely going to increase with teams that are looking for ways to improve and consolidate on their last season performance

I am stressing that several Liverpool players have already left for different clubs in Europe and one player has left for a club in the Saudi League. With so many changes in the team, will this team be able to maintain their performance like last season? The upcoming season is already going to be challenging for Liverpool, then the absence of some old players in their team, all in all, retaining their English Premier League title next season will be quite a challenging issue. I would at least hope that the English Premier League title next season is won by any team other than Liverpool and Manchester City because it has been a long time since we have seen any team other than these two teams celebrate the English Premier League title. If one of these three teams, Arsenal, Chelsea or Newcastle, wins the English Premier League title next season, I would be the happiest.

Am just wondering what Manchester United today will look like without having a Bruno Fernandez, who will be their play maker, because it's looking like Bruno is the only player carrying the team on his shoulders, his consistency has been very impactful to a point you cannot look away. Bruno's performance is making remember the fact Arsenal will suffer a lot after letting a player like Thomas partey to leave, a creative midfielder of such repute.

it's indeed quite unfortunate that UEFA decided to relegate them to the UEFA Conference League, even though they should have been playing in the Europa League, their first European match. but there's nothing they can do about it, as UEFA's decision is final and cannot be changed. however, if this is the case, it means other clubs in the same group could face similar issues in the future, raising concerns that it could unfairly disadvantage them.

UEFA regulation have been final when relegating Crystal Palace to UEFA Conference League due the same owner team participating at UEFA Europe League. For Crystal Palace is bad decision after success winning FA Cup last season and secured one slot for playing at UEFA Europe League but the same owner with Lyon make them have been relegate to UEFA Conference League.
I think this regulation not fair because Crystal Palace have work hard for winning FA Cup and secure place for playing at UEFA Europe League, its first time for Crystal Palace in last several season ago play at higher European tournament but the same owner regulation make them have to play at Conference League.

Fernandez is literally literally the work house for Manchester united, even if they eventually do a complete overhaul on the team, he is one player Manchester United will give a second taught to definitely.  With fernandez, the midfield is safe for Manchester united so they currently need no replacement and we are obviously looking forward to improvements in the new season by Manchester United.

This is a practical fact, Sir Alex Ferguson will continue to be remembered for the history he made while he was the head coach of Manchester United and there no doubt that since he retired, the club has really changed, there performance has dropped drastically, Eric Ten hag later came to finish up the whole thing because of his inability to at least listen to people's opinions without feeling threatened, amorim can try if they can give him the benefit of doubt, Eric Ten has already spoiled things for amorim and i believe Manchester United management will be giving amorim time to do things right, they have some few players, so it is time for amorim to work, there shouldnt be any excuses this time, the day of Manchester United being a superior club has past but they can still upgrade to that level again is just a matter of time and seriousness.

[banana33]

Regarding Liverpool, I also think they may have a slump now, and it is not yet clear how Guardiola will be able to prepare City. Arsenal are fine, Arteta will be aiming for his first trophy, but this will only be possible if other teams have slumps. As for Chelsea, for me they remain a dark horse, to be honest I do not believe that they are capable of fighting for the title this season, but who knows, maybe they will surprise us again.

I think that after this boost of self-esteem they have received, they can actually do very well and they have demonstrated this by beating the winner of the Champions League in a one-off match and not just the last team to arrive in their league, so I think they can do very well if not even win the championship.

Bruno is the best and most important player at Man Utd right now. If an overhaul happened at Man Utd, he’s the one player who would survive it. I hate his on-field behavior, but the man's a magician—he can score, assist, you name it. His work ethic is also what makes him a leader and a superb player.

With the new, fresh blood in the team, I think his stats will be much better this season. Højlund and Zirkzee are total failures—you could see it from the beginning. Both of them were one-season wonders in Serie A. It’s not the same playing in Serie A and the EPL.

[SmartCharpa]

Bruno Fernandez is the only player in this current Manchester team that finished the season that I feel is worth keeping and carrying over to the new season. When Manchester United released a list of players for sale and Bruno was included I thought to myself that Manchester United are clueless but it’s good they finally realised that they would have made a huge mistake if they had sold him this summer.

Without Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United would have been relegated last season. Fernandes was the only player who gave his all in every game they played last season. Even when they lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final, I felt bad for him since his performance for Manchester United last season deserves a trophy. Manchester United would have made a huge mistake if they had allowed Bruno to leave last season when they released the list of players they planned to sell.

If people mention Manchester United, the first person that comes to mind is Bruno, since he is the team's strength, as we can see in their preseason games. The player is now 30, so leaving Manchester United right now is not a bad decision because he will be 31 this year, and he may be able to take any offer from Saudi clubs. I thought that he would accept the Al Hilal offer, but the player made it obvious that he wanted to stay at Manchester United.

Alright, let assume Pep didn't have a plan peradventure that Rodri was going to be back to injury mode again as the season is about to begin, of which I doubt tho, but with the transfer window still open till next month he can make an unexpected signing that can fill the gap. It may not be a player that performs exactly as Rodri but he wouldn't make the mistake of signing someone that might flop. We know him for that in his choice of players.

In another transfer rumor, PSG already confirmed that they let Donnarumma leaving and it seems that Manchester City will be a destination of this world-class goalkeeper. There is no doubt about saving skills and strong mentality of Donnarumma but I am a litle bit doubtful about this transfer rumor. Donnarumma is very bad with passing skills while Pep Guardiola wants goalkeeper with good passes.

Will Donnarumma join Manchester City and we will witness another change in Pep Guardiola philosophy like buying a classic striker like Haaland to a goalkeeper like Donnarumma?

When Ederson played with his feet (and often he did complete rubbish) Pep had a very skeptical face, I remember these clips   So if we leave this factor aside (which is not at all necessary for a goalkeeper), then Donnarum suits City. He is only 26 years old, he has proven that he is a top goalkeeper and he has achieved the biggest titles, i.e. he definitely has no problems with motivation or self-confidence. Considering that PSG are ready to let him go cheap (there is no point in keeping him on the bench, paying him a huge salary and then letting him go for free in a year), I believe that this transfer is possible.

Hopefully, Bruno Fernandes's performance for the new season will improve, with the support of some new players that Amorim has. Last season, if Amorim not have Bruno Fernandes in the team, United's situation could have been worse. There weren't many reliable players last season, many of them had poor performances.
But some players have left, and they were considered problems in the team. Now, Amorim may be building a team with high hopes of performing better than last season. The challenges are great, but hopefully, we can see the changes at the start of the season.

Last season, it was as if Bruno carried the team, lol, because only Bruno was consistent and reliable, while the other Man Utd players performed poorly in almost every aspect. This season it's clear that since the transfer window opened, there have been signs that Man Utd will be heading towards something better. We can see this improvement in the pre-season matches they played. Now with the new additions to the squad, Bruno can perform much better in the new season.

Bruno was, and still is, perceived as a player who fights for his team. Bruno, who wants the best for his team, seems determined to succeed with Manchester United. Despite receiving exorbitant salary offers from Saudi Arabia, he wants to work with Amorim to bring the team back to its former glory. Bruno is a consummate professional and acts accordingly.

Rodri has indeed had a significant impact on the midfield, leaving Manchester City struggling to find a better or at least comparable replacement for him. To be honest, i was also quite surprised by Rodri's injury, especially since he had previously suffered an injury that prevented him from playing for his team. Hopefully, Pep Guardiola already has the best options to address this issue. I am confident that with the right tactical preparation and transfers, Manchester City can compete with other strong clubs this season.

[Just Say]

Manchester City really suffered last season, and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting them to be that bad last season, but unfortunately, they did not perform well last season, and it was so disappointing. Although, as you said, you are right; depending on one single player or two in a squad is really a mess, and I feel like it is among the reasons why Manchester City was affected. I just hope they will get back stronger next season because if Manchester City experiences the same thing as last season, it won’t be funny at all.

Yes, of course, I also hope Manchester City will perform better next season. But judging by the last match against Palermo, Manchester City certainly performed very well, and there's certainly potential for a revival next season. However, it would be even better if Manchester City could bring in strong new players who could certainly strengthen Manchester City's strength.

But recently, I've heard rumors that Manchester City really wants Rodrygo. Of course, if Rodrygo joined Manchester City and left Real Madrid, I think it would definitely strengthen Manchester City's strength and improve Real Madrid's attack. However, I think Rodrygo will have a hard time joining Manchester City because, after all, Rodrygo certainly seems to really enjoy being at Real Madrid, even though he's always under Xabi's radar. And of course, seeing Rodrygo score in the friendly against WSG Tirol will certainly make it difficult for Manchester City to acquire Rodrygo. Hopefully, Pep can train his current players to perform better, even if he doesn't bring in new players.

I think everyone would want such a high-profile player, there were even rumors that this player might join Liverpool and currently there is talk that he could join Manchester City. It can undoubtedly be said that the inclusion of this player could be able to increase the city giants' power level by several notches and even make them opportunistic. However, it may not be entirely accurate that the Real Madrid player could join the City club as the City giants' Erling Haaland was also set to join Los Blancos. He may not have been initially in the plans of the new Real Madrid manager but he was given a chance as a substitute in the club's first friendly match and Rodrygo waited for that opportunity, so he scored a goal in that match to prove that he is still a worthy player for the club.
