Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Abdulzuruku01]

Yes, I think Manchester United's failure in their first two Premier League matches is a strong reason for Amorim to leave Manchester United. If left unchecked, Manchester United could face a much worse season. So, given this situation, I believe Manchester United must take decisive action. Amorim will have no excuses this season. As we know, Amorim has been given the freedom to sign any players he wants in this transfer window. But it turns out that none of that can change the fact that Manchester United is currently performing very poorly. So far, they have only managed to pick up one point in the Premier League from their two matches

I think this problem with Manchester United is probably from the coach. I don't think I've seen any single sign with Manchester United to contend for even a single domestic league. Amorim is not capable of transforming the team, i think this team is really more challenging than he anticipated. He has been using the same formation with the same format and pattern, which isn't working for the team, but he still doesn't want to change the formation. I don't think he deserve to manage this team. It seems Ruben Amorim doesn't understand the important of managing a top team like Manchester United. If Man United wants to turn things around for good, they need to sack Ruben Amorim and bring an experienced coach to the team. They have spent a huge amount of money on new players like Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko, but nothing has changed in their two previous EPL matches.

It's interesting to discuss about how Ruud Gullit stated that if MU was the main problem why their club performed so poorly. he also mentioned some names who played better after they leave from there. I guess the truth is bitter, but i think i agree with his statement.
It's hard to deny the fact that MU's former players played better after they left from there. Just like mctominay who won his first scudetto with Napoli at his first season in Partinopei.

It's also hard to deny MU's also a place to kill someone's career. I hope they will re-evaluate themselves and have better approach in order to fix their problems. What do you guys think?

[SmartCharpa]

Newcastle's performance was really good at first; I even thought they would win the match, just the way you think, but at the end Liverpool showed them that they are still good and can pull up at any moment. Although you are right, if Liverpool were a weak team, Newcastle would beat them in that match, but they are not. This shows that every club is preparing for this season. It will be an interesting season because many clubs will fight for the title this season. The league just got started; let's see how it will go.

Liverpool conceded two goals after taking the lead because of to a weak defending, if Liverpool defense was strong enough to prevent Newcastle from scoring goals, I doubt the home team would be able to equalize both of the goals. Liverpool attack is very strong, but their defense is not good, which is going to affect them, as we noticed by their first league game against Bournemouth, they struggled to win since they conceded unnecessary goals everytime they scored.

The Premier League will be difficult to predict right now because the season is only beginning, and we don't know which team will continue to win. I do not expect anything from Manchester City this season, they've remained unchanged despite spending a lot of money to buy players. Perhaps Liverpool's next game against Arsenal will determine which side has the best chance of winning the Premier League title this season.

[Ahli38]

The team is not yet complete and there are still some shortcomings, which Amrim himself probably knows. But we have to accept that it is not realistic to solve all the problems at once. They have lost two matches of the season and this reflects their shortcomings. They are looking for a goalkeeper, which I think is definitely a necessary step. They also need to think about some other positions which will take time. They have had some problems with scoring goals. Now let's see how Amrim deals with this. But I think they played relatively well against Arsenal. They should have won the last match.

After Manchester United spent a lot of money in the transfer window this season and they still failed to compete then I believe the manager is the main problem we don't talk about his ability, it's just that sometimes a coach is not suitable for all clubs. I'm sure Amorim doesn't have much time to fix this situation and yeah at least until mid season his fate will be determined. Manchester United have dropped 5 points in their last 2 games and we still have to wait for the next 3 games to say something.

This team has changed coaches so many times but has not found its best performance even though it has spent a lot of money so I think Manchester United's management is responsible for all of this, they should imitate what Chelsea did, make a major overhaul even the entire squad is changed maybe that way they will be able to change if not then I think Manchester United will always be the same and they spend a lot of money just for waste or in vain.

I don't think Manchester United Management is actually the problem  here but the coaches. The coaches are the problem because they were been paid to bring out the best in their teams, although these coaches were carefully selected based on their achievements but they still failed to turn things around for good at Manchester United. I think among the coaches that have been hired, Reuben Amorim has a brighter future and will do well at Manchester United. Yes Manchester United Loss to Arsenal and draw with Fulham doesn't mean they are not doing well. I think you probably will be blaming Amorim for drawing and for not been able to defeat Fulham. Fulham has this standing history of been hard to defeat when paying against a Big team in the premier League. I also think Reuben Amorim should be given enough time at least towards the end of the season before criticism can start coming it.

Manchester United could have won the match against Fulham. In the first half, there were so many golden opportunities that almost resulted in goals, one of which was a penalty kick awarded to Manchester United. However Bruno Fernandes failed to convert the penalty kick because his shot went high over the Fulham goal. Ruben Amorim as Manchester United coach felt that the penalty opportunity should have been very influential, if Bruno Fernandes had made good use of it. So I think the real problem lies in the harmony of the Manchester United players, who did not perform well enough to make good use of the scoring opportunities. But I personally think that Amorim needs to learn a lot from this. His role as coach is very influential in improving his team performance. This includes immediately improving the quality of Manchester United frontline players to determine who has the best ability to execute penalties. However, Bruno Fernandes may still be the designated penalty taker for Manchester United in the future. But Amorim must provide better guidance for Fernandes to regain his trust.

The season has only just begun. Manchester United still has plenty of time to get their act together and correct their mistakes in order to at least secure the best possible position in the standings. So the past few games can serve as valuable lessons for improving the team.

[Adbitco]

This statistics is still turning my stomach, just 7 wins in 29 premier league games. This is the worse statistics I have seen any manager get that's a coach of a top team. In 29 games there's no place where Manchester United has two winning streak. One win will attract 2 or 3 losses and draws before another win again.

Yes, I personally quite agree with that statement. Because it's true, after Manchester United left Sir Alex, Manchester United really changed into a very poor team. I think Manchester United's decline in performance certainly can't be blamed solely on the players or the coach. But basically, Manchester United's management is probably the one to blame. Because they are the ones who organize everything and determine the recruitment of coaches and players, as well as the provision of facilities. So with that in mind, I think it's true that Manchester United is currently a team that is causing its players to perform poorly.

Perhaps because the team management really doesn't provide truly supportive access. Furthermore, at Manchester United, we often hear of players having tensions with their coach. I think that really is a sign that Manchester United is currently not a team with high solidarity. So with that in mind, it's natural that Manchester United is currently struggling to recover from its slump. Because basically, the main problem Manchester United currently faces is its management itself. So in my personal opinion, if Manchester United wants to rise again quickly, I think they should replace their entire management team and replace them with a better management team.

[Silence Scream]

This team has changed coaches so many times but has not found its best performance even though it has spent a lot of money so I think Manchester United's management is responsible for all of this, they should imitate what Chelsea did, make a major overhaul even the entire squad is changed maybe that way they will be able to change if not then I think Manchester United will always be the same and they spend a lot of money just for waste or in vain.

Overhauling the team will take a lot of effort and resources from the hierarchy of Manchester united and that is what the glazzers family isn't ready for yet because Chelsea has spent up to a billion pound or more since they overhaul their team, so are they ready to spend such an amount of money yet? No in my own opinion.
This is what I feel it's very unlikely at the moment because the hierarchy of Manchester united is still struggling on offload unwanted players at the club, and spending such an amount in adding the desired quality is one thing that is going to be very difficult because the glazzers family will not want to go that route since they are mostly concerned about profit not spending.

If they focus on profit, the team won't achieve success. Because in the Premier League, success means profit. Success must be the priority. A team that prioritizes success over profits can always win. Chelsea initially had a very poor season, but gradually recovered. Today, Chelsea, one of the Premier League's best, is considered the team that won the last Club World Cup. If Manchester United prioritizes success above all else, signs the right players, and isn't afraid to spend, they can return to their former level.

Manchester United have dropped 5 points in their last 2 games and we still have to wait for the next 3 games to say something.

Now the problem is more about the captaincy. If Amorim forces Bruno Fernandez to play in that position, it will make it difficult for him to be as productive as last season. In poor team form, Bruno Fernandez can perform better, providing assists and scoring goals, and forcing Bruno Fernandez to play the way he did in the previous two matches will limit his creativity on the pitch. Things haven't gone well, but if Amorim continues to experiment and keeps Sesko on the bench for longer, it will make things much more difficult for Manchester United.

I don't think that Chelsea is currently one of the best team in EPL because the last time they lifted up the title was eight years ago. How are they one of the best when they haven't proved it. Winning CWC doesn't mean that Chelsea has picked form to the highest level. The season just started, let's see how consistent they will be in their matches.

You could say Sesko hasn't had much of an opportunity yet. I had high hopes for him when Manchester United signed him, but he hasn't had enough playing time so far. I support giving a young player who wants to prove himself in the Premier League an opportunity. I understand Manchester United's ambition to be more successful this year, but they shouldn't discourage young players. I'm sure Sesko rejected offers from other teams when he signed for Manchester United. Now that he can't play, he might be questioning his decision.

In 29 games there's no place where Manchester United has two winning streak. One win will attract 2 or 3 losses and draws before another win again.

I believe Amorim days at Manchester United are number, this is the worst record any manager has ever had while managing a top team. We only view Ten Hag as a bad manager, but Amorim is also a bad manager since his strategies have never work for the team to win three games in a row in the league, if they win one, they draw the next or lose, which is not how to manage a big team. Amorim  results in the league is 7 wins and 28 points in 29 Premier League games is the worst I've seen in Manchester United history.

Furthermore, they lost the first game and drew the second against Fulham, their next game is against Manchester City, I'm not sure if they will win because City failed to beat them last season, but City has signed more players than United. The best thing Amorim can do is avoid playing 3-4-3 against Manchester City and instead try a different formation.

Winning CWC doesn't mean that Chelsea has picked form to the highest level. The season just started, let's see how consistent they will be in their matches.

I understand exactly what you are saying sir, the club world cup is just a one month tournament but it's very difficult to win that trophy because all the best clubs in the world are competing for it.
Looking at all the top teams in England presently, you can't mention four teams and wouldn't add Chelsea to the list, but just as you have said already, consistency is what determine how far a team can go when gunning for the title, so we are certainly going to see how far they can be consistent, but before then, I sees them as one of the top contenders this season, because in my own opinion, they have all it takes to go all the way in lifting this year English premier league title.

[banana33]

Wolves really take this match serious with West Ham to scored those three goals to defeated West Ham3-2, and Brentford took a good possession of the ball from the beginning till the end of the match to scored two goals without allowed Bournemouth to score a single goal from the host because they prepared well to dominate in this EFL this cup tournament which I know they will go far in this season, Sunderland have the opportunity to use home advantage to defeat their opponent but they made some mistakes that make them to struggle to score a single goal to draw the match with Huddersfield, all the teams that played yesterday showed some improvement that will make them to be serious with their next match, because teams will use their next match to clear the doubts of some people toward the tournament.

I didn't like how Sunderland behaved, they could have really done better in that match, they are definitely not ready to face teams of a certain level yet, maybe in this championship they won't be able to go very far, honestly I don't like this team

Winning CWC doesn't mean that Chelsea has picked form to the highest level. The season just started, let's see how consistent they will be in their matches.

Speaking of results, maybe we can say Chelsea is a little better than before even though the achievement did not fully place them on the list of one of the teams that were able to compete for the title. Waiting for some matches in the Premier League becomes a picture of how their strength this season and if they are able to perform consistently and compete in the top three standings will open the way for Chelsea to compete.

Arsenal and Liverpool are still strong enough so far and Tottenham is surprisingly able to defeat Man City, but this is not the end because the league has just started and some teams still have difficulty in achieving a much better form of performance. Winning the Club World Cup does not guarantee Chelsea can be much stronger but they get better.

Manchester United spent a lot of money in this transfer window, but that doesn't mean everything will just change at once. It has to be gradual. Their form will improve over time  not immediately and it won't happen overnight that Manchester United will get back to their strong form and start beating every team they face.Manchester United have only lost one match and drawn one game, which to me is not something bad. Because if we're going to talk about the money Manchester United spent, what about other clubs that also spent heavily and still haven’t seen the expected results?

So, it's better for us to calm down and watch a few more matches before we start shifting the blame to the coach or certain players. The fact is, even Arsenal who beat Manchester United  know what they saw during that match. It seemed Arsenal only won the game by luck, because Manchester United actually played very well. They just weren’t lucky enough to score.as for me, my observation is that the team will do well  but not as well as many people are expecting from Manchester United.

[Luzin]

So in my personal opinion, if Manchester United wants to rise again quickly, I think they should replace their entire management team and replace them with a better management team.

I have actually discussed this before and spoken about it. The majority of players who left Man United were able to perform well with their new clubs. Analysis has proven this to be true. So the players are the least of the problems. I think Man United needs to make major internal improvements. Perhaps this is down to management or the coaching team. I understand that players' professionalism is shaped by the team atmosphere. If the team atmosphere is bad and management is poor, then they will not perform to their full potential in games. Amorim has a tough task ahead of him; it's been a year, and this is his second year. If he fails again to improve Manchester United's performance, I feel the supporters will grow increasingly impatient, and he might be fired.

The money they spent was very necessary they even need to spend more to strengthen the key areas they're lacking quality which is midfield and goalkeeper positions, all the big teams spent lots this summer cause the market was seriously inflated but they had to so they'll strengthen their team, you don't expect Manchester United not go do same.

 Atleast with the players they've signed this season, we've noticed a big improvement although the squad isn't very complete yet but the match between them and Arsenal could tell there was lots of improvement, well Arsenal were really lucky in that match they were lucky Manchester United was unfortunate that day else they would've lost or drawn that match.

It's hard to deny the fact that MU's former players played better after they left from there. Just like mctominay who won his first scudetto with Napoli at his first season in Partinopei.

It's also hard to deny MU's also a place to kill someone's career. I hope they will re-evaluate themselves and have better approach in order to fix their problems. What do you guys think?

I think Ruud is quite right. When you see Antony at Betis becoming the player who lifts the whole club, and then McTominay — as you mentioned — being the best player in Serie A and bringing Napoli the title, it really says something. Rashford was also improving at Aston Villa, and now we’ll see him at Barça.

Maybe Højlund and Garnacho will be the next ones to leave — so we’ll see what happens with them.

But if Mbeumo and Cunha don’t step up this season, we’ll have to accept the reality that Man Utd is a career destroyer. I honestly think they are the root of the problem.

Looking at Manchester United's start to the season, I don't think it'll be long before Amorim is sacked, even though they've only played two games this season. However, considering Manchester United's performance hasn't improved compared to last season, I don't think there's much hope for them this season. They won't be much better than last season.

I also believe that Manchester United's players aren't to blame for their poor performance. In fact, in recent seasons, the Manchester United squad has been full of quality players, but they haven't been able to lift the team. The problem lies within, unseen. If that isn't addressed, Manchester United will never recover, even if they spend more money.

I definitely agree with this statement coming from Ruud gullit because the problem is not the quality of the players in Manchester United but the system that is in Manchester United if you stay in an environment that is not conducive for growth, there is something wrong with this United squad and until they fix it the club will definitely struggle and no matter how good a player is that comes to united will not perform very well
