Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Nightwalker(NW)]

Whatever transfer deal that have not gone through by now, is going to be hard to get pushed through and meeting the need of the intended clubs for this season, I am speaking on the general basis because season started and alot won't happen straight up the way it should since most clubs including Liverpool, Newcastle and even Manchester City have failed to fix the problem that faced them from the last season which is to get a good front striker that can deliver for the club's.

With the performance of Trafford, I am sure Manchester City will intensify the deals that they have pending, the one of Donnarumma will have to be sorted out very soon because I am not sure that the coach will entrust the number one spot to Trafford fully this season. Before the window will close next week, I am sure we will see Donnarumma in a Manchester City jersey.

The second hald looks more tensed and interesting despite the fact that Newcastle is playing with a man down, they don't want to be humiliated by Liverpool. Both clubs have scored two goals within 13 minutes in thw second half. Liverpool second goal was scored by Ekitike two minutes after the second half kicked off. Bruno Guimarães has put Newcastle back into the game back as he cancels one goal from Liverpool goal on the 57th minutes. The scoreline is currently Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Liverpool is leading by a goal at away to Newcastle let see how the second half of the game will be because Newcastle is one club that can be unpredictable and can be dangerous to any team in the premier League

The possibility of Newcastle equalizing the goal is very slim because they have a man down before the end of the first half. Anthony Gordon made an unnecessary foul on Van Dijk and he was sent out from the field in the injury time after a proper check VAR. Liverpool will take advantage of the red card and score more goals in the second half.

It's sad that Newcastle got a red card in the first half which will weak the team's morale otherwise i was hoping for a tough game, but Newcastle have made it easy for Liverpool to have the advantage of getting 3 points on a platter. Though the match is in the second half and the score is 1:2 currently but i don't think that Newcastle can get an equalizer instead Liverpool might likely add more one or two goals before full time. Liverpool's defense will be a big problem for them this season because on a norm Newcastle isn't supposed to get any goal again after they got a red card but Liverpool's defenders couldn't protect the defense which made it easy for Newcastle to score, even in the previous game of Liverpool they also conceded goals when teams like Arsenal have gone 2 games without conceding any goals so i think that Arne Slot needs to work on his defenders.

Newcastle 1 Vs Liverpool 2
It's 67 minutes and the champions are leading at St James's park. Newcastle are not relenting as they were 2 goals down before but reduced the deficit to one goal. Although they are at the disadvantage side as Gordons was red carded after committing a red card offense. Liverpool is in total control as they are searching for their second win in two games.

As usual new season same story! Man U drew 1-1 with Fulham yesterday i was so pissed up because there was a window of opportunity to take all 3 points!!. Muniz golden gift of an own goal gave us the perfect lead to build momentum in the game but as usual Man U just bottled all golden opportunities, but as soon as Fulham hit back at 73 minutes!! when Smith Rowe scored just 93 seconds after coming on i just knew we stood no chance of getting all 3 points... To make matters worse!! Bruno missed a penalty in the first half and later claimed the ref bumped into him right before he took it I mean come on that's like a childish excuse... a player of his level should be burying that regardless of the outcome of the game... Amorim just saying the usual thing of the team needs to grow up and blaming our defensive mindset after scoring...  but honestly he is right though because we just keep switching off too quickly and that’s why results like this happen since last season... The frustrating part is we are still waiting for our first win of the season!! just imagine the almighty Manchester United that usually k*lls this type of match off in the first half...

[Smartvirus]

There is no chance of Newcastle United getting a come back from this, no win and no equalizer for them. They had such a good start and got themselves in the worst spot with the Anthony Gordon’s red card. Liverpool is just going to keep exerting more and more pressure till they seal the game in a Newcastle 1:2 or 3 Liverpool scoreline.
Going forward, Newcastle United is going to face some difficult games as they wouldn’t be missing just Isak on the pitch but,Anthony Gordon as well whom had become a central piece for the team to function. Wouldn’t be taking them on a bet for a while.

[Issa56]

Manchester United has always been inconsistent for some years overall but among all those years, last season was the worst of it all in terms of performance and all.

Let’s just wait and see how Manchester United will perform this current season, but am sure they will perform better this season. Manchester United performance was terrible last season, it’s surprising to see a club like Manchester United end the season in 15th position, that’s really a bad one for them, most people were surprised with the way Manchester United played last season, even after changing coach, nothing changed in Manchester United’s performance.

Manchester United played well in their first match this season, and everyone think Manchester United are back to form, but they performed poorly in their second match which was against Fulham, and they ended up playing draw in the match. if Manchester United don’t improve their performance, then they going to be having a terrible season again. The signings which they made played well in their first match, but poorly against Fulham.

Liverpool performance in this match is really good they have really hold there ground. Newcastle is really pushing hard but the is what has spoiled there opportunity of balancing the game. Newcastle really need to work on themselves to avoid this kind of mistake in there next match because it is this mistake that is making them to lose this match. I believe Liverpool will definitely be more dangerous in there frontline especially if they should add more effort to build rhythm.

[red4slash]

This game is going to be an easy win for Liverpool against newcastle and they need to win to get more points to surpass Nottingham forest. It's the beginning of the season and some teams like forest and Sunderland are already showing some good potentials to perform well this season, although at anytime there can be a change In performance. Liverpool has a lot of reasons to sit up because there is a lot of competition

The fact is, it's not as easy as it seems, because looking at what happened in the match, even though Liverpool dominated very well, especially when Newcastle played with 10 players, they had few chances and only tried to play the ball.

Even Newcastle, who performed very well in this match. I think this could be a little dangerous for Liverpool if they continue to let it happen, because a 1-goal lead could be destroyed and they are not safe yet, even though time is almost up.

It hasn't even been a minute yet

The score is now 2-2, and this is clearly a disadvantage for Liverpool if the result remains the same until the end.
There is still time left, and they still have time to make a move to get 3 points in this match.

Newcastle vs Liverpool

Liverpool: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike

Substitutes: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Leoni, Bradley, Robertson, Endo, Elliott, Ngumoha, Chiesa

Newcastle: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Tonali, Joelinton, Guimaraes; Elanga, Barnes, Gordon

Substitutes: Ramsdale, Botman, Thiaw, Hall, Willock, Miley, Ramsey, Murphy, Osula

Liverpool will be travelling to St James’ Park to play their second game of the season against Newcastle United who are the host, Newcastle United ended their last game with a draw against Aston villa which wasn't funny because at 66 minutes of the game they played 10 against 11 but despite that they couldn't be able to penetrate and that is how the game ends up draw. I don't think they could be able to win tonight because the opponent they are facing are the current champions and they are still on their best form.

Newcastle United were completely dominated by Liverpool, and their position was severely disadvantaged. A Newcastle player was sent off for a red card in the final minutes of the first half, leaving them reduced to 10 men for the second half.

Ekitike was a surprise; the new Liverpool player truly showed his incredible potential, scoring again for Liverpool just a minute into the second half. Another surprise came from Guimaraes, who scored against Liverpool, reducing the score to 2-1. The match was still far from over and now entering the crucial minutes, anything was possible, including a draw.

Liverpool have equalized the goal on the 88th minutes to balance the scoreline 2-2. Newcastle looks stronger playing with ten men than when they were initially playing with 11 men. They have been aggressive in this second half and they were able to work out two goals from nothing.

This is quite an incredible display tonight from Newcastle. Liverpool should work on themselves because they easily lose focus when they are been pressured. If this match ends in a draw, it will favor Newcastle more than Liverpool who is trying their possible best to defend the title.

[sotelorene]

Manchester United performance can be described as inconsistent in other words it's always changing every match. Even though they lost their first match against Arsenal, they seemed to have hope of winning in the following matches. They played quite well in that match and were able to dominate, especially against a strong team like Arsenal.

However in the second week against Fulham whose quality could be said to be below Arsenal's Manchester United's performance deteriorated, and they were fortunate not to lose. If Manchester United's performance continues like this, I doubt they will compete for the Champions League spot this season. If we look at Manchester United's problems they are similar to those faced by Barcelona at that time due to numerous internal issues. So to overcome this problem, Manchester United needs a loyal president like Laporta and an experienced coach with a mentality like Flick. So far, Amorin has been good emotionally, but he lacks the mentality and experience.

Manchester United has always been inconsistent for some years overall but among all those years, last season was the worst of it all in terms of performance and all. This season their fans saw a lot of potentials in them, some of them took into account the performance of the team during the pre season and concluded that they will do well. After two games with one loss and a draw, it's not a good start for the team and I think they need serious improvement

Yes last year seems to be the most noticable as a worst and unfortunate season for Manchester united because of there poor performance and seeing where they ended in the premier league table. With the name Manchester united has and seeing where they finished last season was really embarrassing. There was a point they were unable to win a match in the premier league though the season just started and I don't really want to conclude that they are bad because if it was last season, that match they played against fulham they would've lost the match but they manage to draw and so I will say there is a little improvement and I think what is remaining for Amorim now is the ability for him to use each player well.

Liverpool have equalized the goal on the 88th minutes to balance the scoreline 2-2. Newcastle looks stronger playing with ten men than when they were initially playing with 11 men. They have been aggressive in this second half and they were able to work out two goals from nothing.

Liverpool were able to score their final goal in the extra time given in the match, and they were able to get a win in the match. The two teams played well in the match, but Newcastle couldn’t get a win in the match. The mistake which Newcastle made in the match was just the red card which they received in the match, and I will say that tackle wasn’t really necessary. If not for the red card received by Newcastle today, even if they couldn’t get a win in the match, then the match might end up to be a draw.

Newcastle played well today, they even played better than Liverpool in the first half of the match, but the red card which Newcastle received really affected them, which I will say is the cause of them losing the match. The tackle which Gordon made was just too rough, he really deserved the red card, and what surprises me most was that he made the tackle when it wasn’t necessary.

Newcastle you meant.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when they got that equalizer, they pressed high with their 10 men team and you could tell they were out to share points with Liverpool. Too bad they couldn’t hold it after they got it. With barely seconds on the clock, whistle in hand, Salah and Ngumoha were able to come up with that last minute goal that Liverpool needed so bad. It would have been such a disappointment for Liverpool to have not been able to take all 3 points from this game while playing against 10 men.

What did you expect from a club that finished 15th last season and refused to pay close attention to their major issues this summer, if Manchester United don't sign a goalkeeper and a holding midfielder before the end of this summer then I don't think they'll be able to be very successful this season. I wonder when Amorim would give Kobe Maino a chance, you can't have one of the finest youthful player in your team and keep him on the bench. Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro would never work I don't know why Manchester United's coach isn't taking note or is it that he's seeing it and still hoping it would work when it's clear it won't. He should also stop playing Bruno Fernandes very dip and trust in the new striker he bought, Sesko needs more playing time so he'll blend quickly and start scoring goals.

Newcastle United would have gotten an early lead in the first half if they had Isak in the pitch fir them, heir chance conversation rate were poor especially un the first half and unfortunately when Gordon got a read card things became more unfortunately.

In the second they fought to merit least a draw but unfortunately a single unawareness from the defence team lead to their few minutes left lost.

[baeva]

The story of his transfer has been going on for a long time, and it's strange that it hasn't been resolved yet. Liverpool seemed to be preparing to make a second offer for this player, and a fairly large one at that, but nothing has been decided yet. In my opinion, the amount rumored in the media to be around 150 million is not justified for this player, and for Liverpool, there is a high probability that, no matter what kind of player he is, they will get burned by this transfer.

Whatever transfer deal that have not gone through by now, is going to be hard to get pushed through and meeting the need of the intended clubs for this season, I am speaking on the general basis because season started and alot won't happen straight up the way it should since most clubs including Liverpool, Newcastle and even Manchester City have failed to fix the problem that faced them from the last season which is to get a good front striker that can deliver for the club's.

It's not that this problem was so pressing for them; they didn't have any particular problems in attack, at least not Liverpool and Manchester City, but rather in defense or midfield, and this problem has been partially solved by each club. But the current unfinished transfers are really stressful, especially for the players, because their future is up in the air.

[Hyphen(-)]

Newcastle played well today, they even played better than Liverpool in the first half of the match, but the red card which Newcastle received really affected them, which I will say is the cause of them losing the match. The tackle which Gordon made was just too rough, he really deserved the red card, and what surprises me most was that he made the tackle when it wasn’t necessary.

All I have to say is that, Liverpool as a team and Arne Slot as a coach needs to work on his defense, that’s the main problem of the team because no matter how good a team is, if the defense is not stable, you will keep losing matches due to errors; although winning away from home against Newcastle will never be easy for any big team in the Premier League but suffering to win the match after leading by two goals with Newcastle having Red card is a sign that Liverpool will struggle this season. Luckily, they have Eketike that  some of their players are even complaining about that he is not that good; the Moh Sallah they relied on was only able to provide an assist towards the ending. Therefore, Slot need to review his defense and find a perfect solution to them.

                   End of the week talking points



What a thrilling English premier league week as it ends today with Liverpool needs a late goal to defeat a never die, 10 men of Newcastle.

To refresh the mind this was the last week discussion
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5271157.msg65708716#msg65708716

This week it’s about managers and how they did this week.
From high

So which coaches team impressed you and what do you think they are getting right this just concluded week and which coach needs to start changing things up.
For me Enzo maresca’s chelsea, Thomas Frank’s Tottenham team and finally Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal gave good impression of themselves.

Enzo marescas’s chelsea did not just start doing well, they are the champions of the Club World Cup and after a decent first game draw they totally demolished westham for me the new players added to the team have already pick up and this has contributed to their performance.

Thomas Frank: according to the players in an interview after the match they claim that the coach has given them  freedom to attack and this was missing with the previous coach.

Mikel Arteta: I don’t think the coach has changed much because Arsenal are always a good side but they seem to have sharpened an already sharp set piece play.

Coaches that needs to start changing this for me is Pep Guardiola and Ruben Amorim.
Pep and Amorim coaching style is not just working, teams have already discovered that city is not that guy anymore, teams don’t sit back against city anymore and they are really clumsy when they are pressed. Amorim’s United also needs to find a new style and not be clingy to their current style.

It would have been such a disappointment for Liverpool to have not been able to take all 3 points from this game while playing against 10 men.

Liverpool didn't impress me at all because they almost played draw against 10 men Newcastle, it was unbelievable when i checked the score and Newcastle equalized the 2 goals that Liverpool scored and if not for the 11 minutes that was added by the fourth official, the match would have just ended in a draw and i would have been very happy because the flops of Liverpool's defense is getting too much. I didn't even see any serious delay that occurred in the match that made the fourth official to give additional 11 minutes, that was too much. They should just be thankful to Ngumoha for sealing the win and gave them the three points.

If Liverpool use this pattern in their next game against Arsenal then i don't think they will survive it because Arsenal's frontline is no joke. The only thing that will affect Arsenal is that Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka will not be available to play due to the injury they got in their last match against Leeds. Sad to see that Arsenal players are getting early injuries, first it was Kai Havertz which made the team to sign Eze and now, Odegaard and Saka.
