Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Issa56]

I don’t even know what is Manchester United’s problem; even the coaches find it difficult to fix it up.

I don’t really know who to blame for Manchester United poor performance, when they played their first match, everyone were thinking that Manchester United are back to form, and they going to have a great season, but their performance dropped drastically in their second match, and everyone have been criticizing Manchester United again. The players which they signed that performed well against Arsenal, they ended up playing poorly against Fulham, everyone expected the match to be an easy win for Manchester United. Actually I will be blaming Amorim for Manchester United getting a draw in the match.

Fulham is just  team that is not suppose to give Manchester United difficult time in the match, but Manchester United struggled in the match, and all they could get is just draw. Manchester United next premier league match will be against Burnley, let’s see how Manchester United are going to perform in the match, the match is not suppose to be difficult for Manchester United, but if they don’t win the match, then I don’t think Amorim will stay long at Manchester United.

Liverpool was able to defeat Newcastle tonight and grab all three points from the game but honestly, I think the result wasn't convincing enough. This is their second game of the season and in both occasions, they had to rely on late goals to earn maximum points. Arne Slot is a great manager who I personally think out did himself last season by winning the English Premier League in his first season and I still believe he has the tactical prowess to successfully defend the title this season but if his team continues to let in goals like they've done their first two games of the season, I doubt he succeed.

That said, I think Mohammed Salah is yet to pick top form this season. He's not been doing the magical moves he's known for but looking at him, I think he's hungry for goals and is very likely to improve just to get his desire.

Liverpool VS Newcastle was a very good game. In this match, everything was there, such as attack, counter-attack, defense, goals, everything was a very extraordinary game. Liverpool played very well. If we talk about their previous season in this season, it will never be right. Because if we talk about what happened in the last season in this season, it will never be right. We should always think about the present. At the moment, Liverpool is playing very well and almost every one of their players is in good form.

Liverpool football team performance was very bad in the last match as they did 3 goals in this match and that team performance was at top because players did back to back goals in this match. Gravenberch was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 35 minutes and he was a person who gave good start to the team when it was required and  after that we saw goal by another player who did goal at 46 minutes and that person was Ekitike because he did goal at 46 minutes. Ngumoha was a person who did last goal of the match and he did this goal at 100 minutes when it was same level and that team won the match by that goal .Guimarães did second goal of the match and he tried to give tough time in this match but that team could not win this match.

This season is really unpredictable with the way things are going it might be an unexpected team that will win this because with Liverpool performance yesterday night shows that in as much as they've got good attacking force I still think they might not be the favorite to win the league, Truth be told a team that's out for business wouldn't like to consid such amount of goals even to a team that is one man down, trust me Liverpool performance yesterday was not quite impressive they really need to do something in their defense line.

This season is truly unpredictable compared to others. Liverpool has had its ups and downs, but they'll still improve. Liverpool is one of the good contenders for the title. Arsenal started the season well; they won 5-0. I'm just wondering if this could be Arsenal's year. I'm just wondering, because every year the same conversation goes: they start well, but Arsenal can't keep up.

Left with me, I would have wanted Arsenal to win the title this season, they have the best team and everything seems to have aligned for them and they have started very well, winning the first big team being Manchester United and destroying the next small team that enter their line of fine. My only concern is that Arsenal does not have the mentality of champions yet, that is why when they are faced with the opportunity of winning a trophy, they easily chicken out. I hope this season will be different for them because their supporters have suffered and enduring years of no trophies and banters from other clubs supporters.

what makes arsenal having the best team the truth is arsenal winning the premier League is still slim that arsenal won their two starting games doesn't mean that they are good to go there are other factors to consider like mental strength and the will to carry on when it matters the most so don't be too quick to jump into conclusions about the arsenal team.

Casemiro is still a very solid DM the thing is that his slow, he needs to be paired with a skilful player that's fast so when he loses the ball, he can track the player while Casemiro will mark the free player that he intends to pass the ball to. Look at the game against Fulham, when Amorim removed Casemiro, that was when the deep in the midfield was totally open because nobody to do the dirty work in that position. For those people that still thinks Manchester United doesn't need defence and midfield, I hope they are watching what's happening to the team in this past two matches.

Let’s be realistic Casemiro is old and cannot do all this work again, let’s not sugar coat that he is slow it is simply is age and nothing more. If you take Casemiro out you will see that the midfield was empty which shows that Manchester United needs to get a player younger with Casemiro qualities at his younger age. For me I don’t think Manchester United need to add more defenders but rather they should add a midfielder most precisely a central midfielder and then a goalkeeper, this two positions are crucial for now but Amorim also needs to learn how to make use of what is at his disposal at the moment

Liverpool had an advantage of playing against a 10 man team throughout the second half but they still could not get an epic victory, their performance had nothing really spectacular, at some point they had the game and the other time Newcastle did. I must commend Newcastle, they performed well, they made sure not to be at home and still not make their opponent feel relaxed, Liverpool almost got to the point of saying they were lucky but actually they were not just lucky, they deserved every goals they scored I. That game. They forced so much attack in the first half and it got Liverpool almost dislodging all of their tactics.

I think Newcastle is better without Gordon, sincerely speaking after watching their match this season for 2 consecutive weeks, I cannot see what he is contributing to the squad and you can see from their play in his absence, they were more energized and manned up to Liverpool as against when they were depending on the weak Gordon up front. I think that red card was a blessing to them in that match and they almost neutralized Liverpool if not for the late goal that rendered their efforts futile in sharing the points with Liverpool. The manager should look into Gordon's performance or find a good replacement up front because that guy is stalling their attacking prowess.

Yeah, I was thinking that the absent of Gordon and Isak who is not part of the squared is going to affect them negatively but I was surprised to see them performing so well. if not for the sake of the red card i think the match would have been more tough than it was and I'm not sure if liverpool would have been able to gain victory over them. Is obvious that the red card is an advantage for liverpool, but even with the red card newcastle was still making attempt. when I checked the match stats I noticed that newcastle have more short on target than liverpool. but all thanks to Ngumoha R, I wonder how this match would have ended if not for him.

[letteredhub]

The last minutes goal for Liverpool was a shocker to Newcastle at the moment they had thought it was all going to end in a 2:2 draw, a result which would have favoured Newcastle the more because they were playing a 10 man team. Scoring 2 goals with a red card against the defending champions Liverpool, I think Newcastle actually tried and should be applauding for that. The Liverpool defense too wasn't looking good which was why Newcastle could have gotten those 2 goals, which is something  that should catch Arne Slot attention to find a solution for that this season. It wasn't a convincing win actually.

I actually didn't expect Liverpool to win in this manner, and it was a valuable surprise for Liverpool.
Newcastle did look stronger defensively, but the advantage of playing at home gives the players more confidence.
I agree that Arne Slot should pay attention to the defense, which is currently conceding more goals. Even against Bournemouth, despite Liverpool winning, they still conceded two goals.
If Arne Slot doesn't fix this problem, I believe Liverpool will lose their upcoming match against Arsenal.

Events in football are unpredictable and it should be taken as one of those games with interesting outcomes. And you are right about Newcastle confidence in the game being influenced by their home advantage and in front of their massive fans cheering them up. Liverpool defense could be a problem for them when they meet Arsenal in their next game,  liberpools defense can't measure to that of Arsenal and if both teams attacks gets offensive then Liverpool might have to concede more.

If you watched closely, the Newcastle players delivered on Gordon up front in the first half and up until when he got the red card, they couldn't do much and he wasn't helpful in converting any chance, but when he left, every other person took it upon themselves to create chances and get something. I'm the second half, they were more determined and mounted pressure on Liverpool even after equalizing, continued to play beautiful football until Liverpool struggled to find a winner.

 After watching the first match and partly the second match, I started imagining a Newcastle without Gordon.  I think Isak was better. A Newcastle performance without Gordon was a better performance. He's on red card and might miss maybe 2 games. Let's see their performance without him in the next match to validate or disprove my argument.

I feel that this is the start of the season, so it is indeed very difficult to gauge performance, and sometimes there are surprises, but as time goes on and the schedule becomes more packed with other competitions, especially for big clubs, everything will return to normal as before.

Liverpool and Arsenal remain among the top favorites for the title, especially since they were the EPL champions last season, and Arsenal has been a consistent runner-up in recent seasons. Therefore, it’s only natural that they remain among the frontrunners in the title race.

However, on the other hand, Liverpool still need to be cautious about their performance because in their first two matches, although they secured three points, they struggled against teams that were strong defensively. This is something they need to learn from and implement a better strategy in the end.
Other clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea are also currently working to make the competition more exciting, even though Manchester City lost control in the previous week, their chances are still very high.

Yes, if you think about it, Manchester United hasn't made any progress. Of course, at the start of this season, Manchester United hasn't made any significant progress and hasn't won yet. Indeed, Manchester United should have won like they did against Fulham, because the current Manchester United squad is certainly different from before.

Sometimes, when I think about Amorim, I get confused, wondering whether he deserves to be sacked, given the lack of progress. However, it's true that Manchester United's management wouldn't have waited 10 games, as that would have been too long. It's true that if Manchester United had given Amorim time, for example, to play for Manchester United for five games, that would have been better. Of course, we can only wait and see what happens. Hopefully, Manchester United can perform better than they are now, whether Amorim is sacked or not.

Amorim can’t use the excuse of confusion anymore he has already had enough games to stop being confused and he even caused players like Alejandro, Rashford, Hodjlund, Anthony to all get axed out of the team, all his Has done is hate players and not make anything out of those he found good for his style.
But he may just do well with team that doesn’t have high expectations like the midtable teams.

The players which they signed that performed well against Arsenal, they ended up playing poorly against Fulham, everyone expected the match to be an easy win for Manchester United. Actually I will be blaming Amorim for Manchester United getting a draw in the match.

Honestly their first match of the season was impressive as they started the season with decent performances and also wonderful goals which encouraged a lot of that they are expected Manchester United to doing well this season, but unfortunately the team has not yet made a move for themselves which can lead them to have a great season, but one thing i notice is that lack of inconsistency is also Part of what is making their performances worst in term of performing poorly, if not how is it possible that the team that have a great performance both their first and scone matches have started to get a bad performance when the season know go anywhere; this is sign that they still want to end up unlike last season.

Amorim has no more excuses to give this season all the players he doesn't want in the team is no longer in the team and he has been given enough funds to sign new players which he has done, I wonder why he can not perform his magic to change the performance of the team. It's two matches played already this season yet no good result, it will be better if Amorim decides to leave the team by himself while a more experienced manager steps in to help the team before it gets too late.

What did you expect Arsenal against Leeds? gunners will definitely score with a great goal difference. Discussing between Arsenal and Liverpool who’s more likely to win the title is still difficult seeing how everything is  uncertain ever when the season started, I’m surprised Manchester city is no longer in the table well they’ll bounce back as expected while for the main time every team are competing for the top position. Arsenal are always known to bottle the league as we’ve seen in past season probably I’m optimistic about this season, if they’ll be able to defeat Liverpool on Sunday although most of Arsenal top players will not be playing the match against Liverpool obviously injury related problem, no prediction currently is 100% certain.

Wolves beat West Ham 3 - 2 at home
Brentford beat Bournemouth 2 - 0 away from home
Burnley won Derby County 1 - 0 at home
Sunderland played a draw against Huddersfield Town 1 - 1 at home and Huddersfield win on penalties.
Leeds United played another draw against Sheffield Wednesday 1 - 1 away from home. Sheffield won on penalties.

The results of this pairs was funny in there reflection on the premier League table because Bournemouth and Brentford are the same on the table no difference but a goal and the same to Wolves and West Ham United they both currently at the red zone on the premier League so actually as they pair them that's exactly how they are paired on the table that is why I see it to be very funny, Burnley was the only club who was paired with a non premier league club and won because Leeds did not win from there outside pair and even from the penalty it was worst, Sunderland also had the same thing as Burnley but loss entirely.

[Amphenomenon]

I think Manchester United might have no choice than to keep Ruben Amorim till the end of the season,  remember what Rashford spoke about United recently?

By the way who is the top manager that may want to accept this current squad and won't ask for money to get his own type of players or may want to leave their job for this?

I think he needs more time at least we know he is better than Eric Ten Hag and still trying to fix the squad for the better.

[Issa56]

Discussing between Arsenal and Liverpool who’s more likely to win the title is still difficult seeing how everything is  uncertain ever when the season started

The season is just starting so we can’t conclude on the team that’s going to be winning the premier league title yet, but we all know how Arsenal are always performing every season, their performance is always good at the beginning of the season, and most people start thing they will be winning the premier league title for that season, but when the season is getting to the end, Arsenal performance is always dropping drastically, and even if they are at the first position, they will be dropping to second position, I won’t be surprise if similar thing happens this season again, seriously am not really expecting much from Arsenal this season.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Last season, I could understand Amorim he took over a Manchester United that had suffered a setback. This season, they made some good signings, bringing in players like Cunha and Sesko.

While there are still some shortcomings, I think there's no excuse left. A new goalkeeper is currently on the agenda, but I don't think the goalkeeper is the only problem. With the current players, Amorim should be much better tactically and help Manchester United score.

Amorim must be hoping that the new players haven't settled into the team yet. Because if this is really the game they're going to play, he's got a tough job ahead of him. We'll have to wait a few weeks. In the meantime, they surely know that their realistic goal isn't the championship. It's impossible for this team to compete against Arsenal and Manchester City.
About goalkeeper issue it looks like they will continue with Altay Bayındır. But if they sell Onana they have to buy another goalkeeper, which would be better than Altay.

There is no doubt that Manchester United coach has been able to sign some good players who are expected to return Manchester United today lost to glory. After seeing the kind of critical signings that Manchester United did in this just concluded transfer window, I was so certain that Manchester United will surely bounce back this season. Then Manchester United has played two matches but the result from the two matches does not meet the expectation of everyone. I will not blame it on the goalkeeper even if he is part of the problem but I think that the bigger part of the problem is the Manchester United style of coaching as introduced by Amorim.

I do not know what Mount does in the Manchester United line up and I do not also understand Amorim's type of false 9 and how it will work.
