Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Nheer]

Everton did well today the new boys really did well for them and it seems Jack Grealish still got somethings in him, he got two assists which help the secure the 3 points.  I think Brighton won't do well this season with how they played, Welbeck missed a penalty that could have got them into the game back but let's just say today wasn't their day at all.

Maybe Jack Grealish really needed the change of environment because he was getting too comfortable at Manchester city and that made him not to be producing as much that was expected from him. Now that he has gone to a place that he will be looked up to as a leader, he has stepped up his game and I hope his move to Everton works out for him. I can't remember the last time Jack Grealish provided two assists in Manchester jersey. Let's hope he continues like this. Now that he's in Everton he will be have more and more game time.

The Grealish I used to know from Aston Villa back then was really adventurous but after moving to city he suddenly died down maybe it's the price tag that affected him or probably the teams style doesn't suit him. He plays too simple as a winger which is very bad that's why no one rate him at Manchester City. I also believe he needed this change of environment at least now at Everton he will have more responsibility and try and get things to happen through him that might help him play better. I know he did well but the assists shouldn't be the only thing he should do, he should be able to score goals as well. let's just hope continues this way till the end of the season.

I don't know why Bruno Fernandes failed to give Manchester United the lead against Fulham through the penalty spot when Manchester United needed a goal that would help them gain full dominance against Fulham. Manchester United lost their first Premier League match this season and if they lose to Fulham it will be a major setback for Manchester United in the race for the Premier League title and top 5 finish in the Premier League this season, so I believe Manchester United will work so hard in the second half to earn all 3 points against Fulham.

For some reason, some people still strongly believe in and often praise Bruno Fernandes performance. In my opinion, the player should have been replaced by a better player. This isn't the first time he's made such mistakes, but he's made them frequently in the past few seasons.

This second match was really poor in the first half. Cunha also had a great chance but failed to score. In fact, if Rodrigo Muniz hadn't made a mistake, Man United could have ended up losing again.

Bruno actually have a high stats in penalty, his stats is 61 scored and 7 missed, that's big, almost 90% https://www.transfermarkt.com/bruno-fernandes/elfmetertore/spieler/240306

He's just not lucky in this match, he's taking higher risk to shot on high corner. I disagree to replace Bruno, this guy contributed a lot for Manchester United, maybe if Amorim want to change is the penalty taker.

[sokani]

One point out of 6 is a disaster. I can't speak so harshly about Amorim yet, because I'm in the denial stage  I just can't believe it's the same pattern again. But if you look at it purely rationally, I see that according to statistics, Fulham played no worse than United, two equal teams played. Is this really why Amorim was so urgently hired by United last year? I'll see how the game ends in the next round with Burnley and then with City. If it's not 6 points, then Amorim can be written off.

Fulham was clearly the better team, and if not for the solid defending from Deligt and Yoro, Fulham would have won the match. Manchester United's midfield was shit. Bruno disappeared in the deeper role. Casemiro's ageing legs could not carry him, and when Ugarte came on, he couldn't make much of an impact. Amorim should have the balls to drop or remove underperforming players, even if it's Bruno. He has no excuse this time around. If he fails to get United back to europe, he might get sacked.

Inasmuch as Manchester United showed some level of resilience in their game with Fulham, the truth is that, they've still got a long way to go and a lot of work to do. They've narrowly escaped relegation and I hope they'll use that opportunity well and buckle up, because if they continued with this lousy performance, they're going nowhere.

Amorim should indeed focus more on their midfield, because their inability to utilise and capitalise on potential scoring opportunities and their underperformance clearly shows there's much work to do in the midfield area. And if Amorim fails to secure them a spot in the European competition, he'll have himself to blame because he'll receive a lot of tongue lash and scrutiny.

[LGD2Business]

Only 1 point from first 2 games. Manchester United are just as we know them. They are showing that they will be far from the top again this season, even in the second week.
Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty. It can happen to anyone. But then they scored the winning goal. They couldn't hold on to the lead and conceded the equalizer pretty quick. Frankly, Fulham deserved to get a point from the game. Manchester United continue to disappoint their fans. Things aren't going as planned with Matheus Cunha, maybe Šeško will adapt to the team and become a goal-scorer. Otherwise, things will be very difficult for them.

I definitely knew that this what will be the next statement from players, yes Bruno Fernandez was definitely below his standard today and the penalty miss was just perfect explanation for his poor performance in today’s game but come off it mate, you are not serious saying Manchester United should sign up someone better than Bruno Fernandez currently, I will like you to list a player that Manchester United can currently be able to sign that his better than Bruno Fernandez at the moment. For me there is none, but seriously Manchester United needs to be looking for options of playing games with him to actually reduce the dependence on him. Aside his penalty miss I wouldn’t blame him that much but rather put the blame on the manager.

For me Amorim is the manager that is actually creating more problems at the moment for him self and he is the one holding Manchester United back with some players. Bruno Fernandez at the centra midfield role is a very bad formation and that is telling on the players too, Manchester currently have one of the best attacks based on their last season starts but still have same old problems because of Amorim persistence on using one pattern of play

[Abdulzuruku01]

Manchester United failed to win today's match as well. Even after Manchester u nited's defeat against Arsenal in the first match, we praised Manchester United's performance. Because their performance was quite good. But in today's match, I can not praise Manchester United's performance.

When I watched Manchester United performance against Arsenal, it gave me high expectations that they had improved, but to be honest, there's nothing much different from their last season's performance. When I observed the nature of today's game right from the first half, I knew Manchester United would find it difficult to win against Fulham because there was equal pressure from both teams.

Manchester United did not have much attack because Fulham's defense was solid, Calvin Bassey coordinated it nicely with his great performance today, I believe he deserves man of the match. Manchester United had a penalty kick opportunity, but Bruno Fernandes missed it, which was disappointing, especially considering his overall performance today. Fulham substitutions were effective, Smith Rowe scored with a fine finish, converting his first touch into a goal, which helped them to equalized the match. Ruben Amorim has a lot to do to improve his squad, because the players are good enough to compete in any competition.

Bruno Fernandes' miss is indeed unusual and highly unexpected, considering his success rate in taking penalties. Unfortunately, this time, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was less fortunate.
Manchester United seems to be struggling to get off to a good start to the new Premier League season. After losing to Arsenal in their first match and now in their second, Manchester United can only manage a point after a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage. This is a very poor start for Manchester United, and Ruben Amorim must act quickly to ensure Manchester United achieves good results in the coming matches.

[Jegileman]

The Grealish I used to know from Aston Villa back then was really adventurous but after moving to city he suddenly died down maybe it's the price tag that affected him or probably the teams style doesn't suit him.

I know he did well but the assists shouldn't be the only thing he should do, he should be able to score goals as well. let's just hope continues this way till the end of the season.

Grealish was not that bad when he joined Manchester City and he was at a time one of the toughest players in Manchester City that you’ll want to face in the attack. Time changed and himself could not keep up with the pressure being faced for him to be at his top form. His mode of play as a great player began to diminish and that amongst many other reasons made Manchester City to want to conclude on the decision of selling him off. If he’s lucky enough, with more playing time at Everton, he’ll get to recover his form and be ready to face more challenging opponents in the premier league and help them to want to prevail as a team. For the time he was at his best, he did well for Manchester City, but this will be another challenge for him to prove himself worst once again.

This is quite funny, if care is not taken Manchester United might never see their previous position last season 15th. Maybe this is a new season so there’s still time to go, last time playing with Arsenal they did pretty well to an extend fans had confidence only for United to play strange. I also think why they played Arsenal was because of home benefit still Arsenal managed to defeat them even with great possession, I was shocked when Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty althoug like you said anyone can miss a penalty but why must it be Manchester United? He was so disappointed missing an opportunity as such likewise fans and teammates, I could remember the team blaming their poor performance on the coach well things should turn differently for United else they’re going no where.

Just the same problem United faced last season, they lack consistency and always missing chances. I was also of the opinion  that Manchester United were back to action after watching them play against Arsenal, it was barely a show off considering how they couldn't advance past Fulham. It will be too early to conclude but United aren't starting off just as we expected, they got new signings, squad depth shouldn't be a problem.

I agree with you. Fernandez is the best penalty taker in United and he hardly misses hia penalty. His last five penalties before this one were all goals. I watched him played several penalties last season and he scored almost all. Luck wasn't just at his side like you said.

United striking force is still weak and needs to be improved so that, they don't miss many chances of finding the back of the net. Fulham almost win the match after equalizing the goal. Fulham scored a classic goal compared to United.

It takes time to organize a disorganized team like Manchester United. See that even the players Ruben Amorin released couldn't be sold, which shows that the former coach made poor signings and now the club is trying to save money and want to build a team without spending too much. I didn't see Ruben Amorin setting goals for this season at any point, that is, they aren't playing to finish in relevant positions or win the league. Their goal for this season is to stabilize the team, from what I could see.



Manchester United's goalkeeping situation is uncertain, starting with Andre Onana

Andre Onana dropped again! Altay Bayindir gets Man Utd starting nod for Fulham trip despite blunder vs Arsenal as Ruben Amorim makes huge goalkeeping call

I believe that every goalkeeper at Manchester United must be thinking a lot about who will be chosen to be the main goalkeeper. 

[SatoPrincess]

I really hope Isak returns to Newcastle United because what would they do this season without him and in this game against Liverpool his absence will be felt. Without Isak this game should go Liverpool’s way except Slot’s men fail to perform well then it could go either way.
I don’t expect Liverpool to be weak against Newcastle United tomorrow, it will be a tough encounter for both sides.

The way Manchester United fans are hyping all their new signings, you will thought they are better than any other players in the world, and when they played preseason matches, they were very happy and thought they are better than any other team in the Premier League this season.

After their opening match against Arsenal, they were complaining that they deserve to win that match because of their performance but they lost to Arsenal that didn’t played well in their opinion. Now Arsenal comfortably won their second match 5-0 at the Emirate stadium while Manchester United couldn’t win against Fulham they defeated home and away last season.

However, I think their main problem right now is the coach, he don’t have first team players, he always mix the players through experiment so as to see the best team he can come up with and this is something the fans can’t take for long, therefore, since they spent money on signing players, I know if he didn’t perform well, they will sack him.

[Agbamoni]

Another game, another points missed by MU. They will never able to finish at the top 4 with this kind of squad. Congrats for Sporting to successfully scam them by sent Amorim. It's hard to understand why he subbed Dalot, Dorgu even keep Bruno who underperform in this game.

If his team play like that against the top clubs in EPL, his club will be rinsed. I see nothing positive from them in this game. Their goal was just pure luck.

Don't be delusional by callin him as good coach. He's not ready for PL's level. I was hoping them to sign Thomas Frank instead of him.

Amorim is not a good coach, I wish all Manchester United fan can understand this. If he cant win a mediocre team or should I say an underdog he cant even win the big 5.

The Premier League this season will be very hard for Manchester United if they keep playing this way. Since so many teams have improved in performance. For example, Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Brighton, are performing better. Manchester United will do poorly if they cant win the smaller teams.

After losing their first match against Arsenal, then in their second match Manchester United were only able to get a draw against Fulham. I think this is a bad start for Manchester United. Because in the first two matches, Manchester United were only able to get 1 point and of course it was not a positive thing for them. I am actually quite surprised by Manchester United's performance, in the transfer market this time they bought several players with pretty good performance.

But strangely it was not able to make a significant change to their performance. In fact, I see Manchester United's current performance looks the same as in the previous season and could even be worse. So with that, I think this season could be a much darker season for Manchester United. Because at the moment Manchester United are only able to fight in 16th position in the English league and that is certainly very bad for a team like Manchester United's.

In addition, actually in this season Manchester United should be able to focus and do their best in the English league. Because they certainly don't have a busy match schedule. Because this season Manchester United did not participate in European competition. So with that, logically, Manchester United should be more focused than other big teams in the English league. But unfortunately, Manchester United seems to be struggling this season.

[Renampun]

Another bad result for Manchester united, one point and one goal in two games after all big spending in the transfer window this season and are still planning to spend more before the transfer window closes by September. Manchester united had a poor performance in today's game, there inability to create chances and step on opponents wickedness is becoming alarming and unprofessional. In there last match when they lost to arsenal we all said its adaptation issue so what are we going to say now that they narrowly secured one point from Fulham
Come to think of it, What is the essence of keeping a highly rated striker in bench when you recognised him as a permanent solution to ur problem i think its the right time to question the coach because the same thing that happened last season is about to repeat itself

Man United should have played better than that, but for some reason today they were unable to bring out their best performance, even though in previous matches they still appeared quite dominant, but in this match they appeared too defensive and less aggressive, even seen from their statistics that the shots they made were less than Fulham's, their ball possession also didn't look so good, so that made them unable to score more goals. this is certainly a concern, because so far Man United has only made 1 point, unlike the other main teams, and this has made their ranking 16th in the standings, which is not a good sign. Amorim needs to adjust their strategy and take a more tactical approach, because two matches have passed and they still haven’t earned many points.

[GiftedMAN]

I really hope Isak returns to Newcastle United because what would they do this season without him and in this game against Liverpool his absence will be felt. Without Isak this game should go Liverpool’s way except Slot’s men fail to perform well then it could go either way.
I don’t expect Liverpool to be weak against Newcastle United tomorrow, it will be a tough encounter for both sides.

I haven't heard anything relating to Isak and his Newcastle United team this week and after his message went viral nobody knows if there has been official settlement between the club and the player and if he's not included in the Newcastle squad the result will be in favour of the defending champions Liverpool. Isak is a big pillar in the Newcastle United team they should have thought about this before stepping on his those so yeah Slot will capitalize on his absence to motivate his team to attack them hard and ensure they get 3 points from the game.
