Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[Merit.s]

On the first Manchester Derby game of season, Manchester City is already 1-0 up against City. Both Manchester clubs are performing bad this season and the next match United face is against Chelsea.

I wanted to enjoy  a fiercely competitive derby. But the match did not seem to be that competitive. Both teams are playing defensively. In  50 minutes , Manchester city had only  4 shots and Manchester united had only 1 shot.
In the 18 th minute of the match, Phil Foden scored a marvelous  goal from a pass from DOku. Manchester City is leading 1- 0. Manchester United should have increased the pace of attack to make a comeback in the match. But United's players' attack is quite slow. I don't know why United are performing like this even though they have players like Sesko and Mbeumo in the attack. They will not be able to get points if they play like this, that's for sure

It seems that United have lost their pace because City have scored two more scores from Haaland to make it 3-0. This is the worst defeat so far, this season. Haaland second goal came in on the 69th minutes of the game with a brilliant finish.

Who knows if more goals will keep pumping into the net because it's clear that United has been outplayed by City in Etihad. United have only taken two shots on target since the beginning of the match. Doku has been in his best moment in this game because he made two goal assists.

City 3-0 United.

In the 18 th minute of the match, Phil Foden scored a marvelous  goal from a pass from DOku. Manchester City is leading 1- 0. Manchester United should have increased the pace of attack to make a comeback in the match. But United's players' attack is quite slow. I don't know why United are performing like this even though they have players like Sesko and Mbeumo in the attack. They will not be able to get points if they play like this, that's for sure

Agree, this is a boring match. This is Manchester United's away match. That's why we don't want to see such a defensive gameplay in such an exciting match. Manchester united players have only had 1 shot in 60 minutes. How will they score a goal if they play like this?

Manchester city was a bit off form. The team could not do well in the opening matches of this Premier League. Manchester United had a big chance to put city under more pressure. But Manchester United completely failed. And I would say they failed because of their defensive gameplay.

Manchester city went ahead 2 -0. The first goal was scored by Foden  and the second goal was scored by Haaland. We saw both assists from Jeremy Doku. The match is most likely to end in 2-0

We all expected a competitive derby match between Manchester City and Manchester United but it's unfortunate that Manchester United could not even defend very well which made Manchester City to score in the first half and also scored in the second half. When i saw the gameplay of Manchester United in the first half i knew they will concede another goal which made me to stake a live bet that Manchester City will score 2 goals and just in the 53rd minute Erling Haaland scored and i won the bet. The match is getting to 80minutes and Haaland have already scored a brace which makes the score to currently stand at 3:0, maybe before the end of the match he might get a hat trick. Poor defending from Manchester United cost them this defeat and their woes continues.

First half result: Manchester city 1:0 Manchester United

The Manchester derby isn't playing to the hype it had received throughout the international break, the game isn't as interesting and thrilling as we had expected like the way the Manchester derby has been. Foden goal in the 18th minutes has being what has made the difference so far in this fixtures. No much creativity as much as am concerned.

Now Haaland add two goals for Manchester City, I think it's clear Manchester United lose in this match.

Manchester United can only passing to each other and not able to break Manchester City's defense, Sesko is really useless, all of his ratings in Manchester United is below 7.0. They can only replace him with Zirkzee who're also an useless player.

See Hojlund, he score a goal in his first official match in Napoli.

Manchester United can only passing to each other and not able to break Manchester City's defense, Sesko is really useless, all of his ratings in Manchester United is below 7.0. They can only replace him with Zirkzee who're also an useless player.

See Hojlund, he score a goal in his first official match in Napoli.

Very disappointing performance from all Manchester United players, this is a derby and no matter how much bad foam you are you should give your best in matches like this. I think it time Ruben Amorim begin to consider to change his tactical formation, this 3-4-3 formation is not going to work at Manchester United, they don’t have that kind of players.

Benjamin Sesko have been very poor since Joining Manchester United, he don’t even look like he want to play, he doesn’t even show the hunger, I know Hojlund don’t score much but there is always one thing he has, that fight in him.

I think Manchester United have a very long season ahead of them, from the way they played today i don’t think they can beat any one in the top 6.

Despite Manchester City scoring against Manchester United in the first half, I was expecting Manchester United to equalize against Manchester City in the second half because after Manchester City scored against Manchester United in the first half, Manchester United was able to calm the game and create some good chances towards the ending part of first half, but I am disappointed with Manchester United conceding two more goals against Manchester City in the second half.

[X-ray]

I turn off my stream and enough to watch how City humiliated MU in this game. They played so clinical, and thanks for Foden and Haaland for the three goals. I also see having Donnarumma is really helpful for City, and this is what they aiming for. Someone who have good buildup combined with good response. Donna blocked serious attempt by Mbeumo, which is amazing.

Apart from that MU looks so bad in this game. Some things i noticed from them in this game some players are playing out of their position. It's probably Amorim's experiment, but why shall he do dis during an important game like this? Weird man!

It's also strange to see Amorim puts Ugarte and Bruno together while it doesn't even work when they against Everton.

In this first Manchester derby match at the start of the new Premier League season, two teams took to the field with very tough promises because at the beginning of this season we saw that both teams were in indifferent form. However in this match, the former Paris Saint-Germain football club goalkeeper is playing an important role in the Manchester City team today, so it seems that Manchester United's defense will be stronger. Honestly, I think both teams will be able to secure important wins in this Manchester derby match and they will have the opportunity to fully develop.

For now, the City giants are not able to breathe a sigh of relief under Pep Guardiola this new season it actually surprises us that they have lost two games in a row. City have already welcomed Man United to this match today, so in this context it seems that Manchester City's skills will be proven in this match because their best player is participating in a Premier League derby match for the first time since shining for his country in the recent World Cup qualifiers.

The first half is over and City is on a 1-0 lead. Foden put his side on the lead on the 18th minutes of the game with a beautiful header. United struggled to equalize the goal but all their efforts was in vain. However, no one knows if this match will end in the favor of City or not, because this was how City took the lead last season before United came from behind and snatched all three points in the second half.

The Manchester derby proved once again that United have bought some useless players this new season, because we didn't see any of the players purchased by Man United come into action in this match. For now the entire blame for this epic derby match lies with the United manager because he invested money in useless players. Watch Erling Haaland's performance, he has already scored 15 goals for country and club in his last ten matches, in fact this type of player is needed in the Manchester United team at the moment because he can represent the country and the club with a strong morale at the same time. It is largely true that the Norwegian was also productive in the Manchester derby today, as he managed to score two goals against Ruben Amorim's team.

After the international break, we thought Liverpool would win the first match by a big margin. But getting 3 points in today's match was a big challenge for liverpool. And it can not be denied that Liverpool was very lucky that they won the match. The only goal of the match was scored in the 90+5 minute  and that too from a penalty. I will not say that Liverpool played badly. Whatever, Liverpool's finishing was a bit weak and Burnley's defenders played great. A total of 27 shots were taken by Liverpool players in this match. Even then, the team could not score any goal in 90 minutes. Anyway , Liverpool did not lose a point, which is a good result for them.

Liverpool are now three points ahead of the other teams in the second and third position, that bright of the game is that they didn't lose a point just like you said but their game play wasnt really impressive. I was expecting them to score multiple goals, that one goal was just out of luck, and also the fact that burnley got a red card probably slowed them down, I'm sure they would have been more defensive against Liverpool

Liverpool are the only team to have won all four of their Premier league matches this season. No other team has won all four of their matches. Arsenal, Bournemouth and  Tottenham have won three  of their four matches and lost one. On the other hand, title rivals Chelsea have won only two of their four matches. Manchester city are in a much weaker position. Therefore , Liverpool are far ahead in the title race. Liverpool are 3 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. Arsenal and chelsea will have to perform better if they want to regain the top spot in the table.

Doing experiments till this time is not something I will accept on MANU's behalf because by now it is expected that Amorim should have more organised and better tactical strategies wherein players positions will not be conflicting and their approach totally each game is supposed to have a very strategic mentality but it still feels so random how they approach each game till this time even after Amorim has been with the team from some part of last season till this time.

Great game by Haaland as he put two goals pass the united defense in the second half of the game, Haaland is one of the best players that are currently playing the game Haaland should use this form to go into the champions League this season as he is a very instrumental player in the city team.

The Manchester derby proved once again that United have bought some useless players this new season, because we didn't see any of the players purchased by Man United come into action in this match. For now after this match, I want to praise the Manchester United manager for his bad sense of humor, he has such a bad intellect that he can't recognize useless players. Watch Erling Haaland's performance, he has already scored 15 goals for country and club in his last ten matches, in fact this type of player is needed in the Manchester United team at the moment because he can represent the country and the club with a strong morale at the same time. It is largely true that the Norwegian was also productive in the Manchester derby today, as he managed to score two goals against Ruben Emorim's team.

Haaland put United in a position that made them unable to equalize the first goal as he scored two goal to seal up City victory. Actually, I thought it will be a difficult match for both teams but I was wrong because City made the match look easy for them as they defeated United with three goals on clean sheet. Haaland is an incredible striker.

It's a challenging time for Manchester clubs, Manchester city that used to bring joy to the Manchester side in recent times has followed the footsteps of Manchester United who has been bringing shame to their fans since Alex Ferguson retirement. I don't think any of the sides can win this match, it's going to end in a draw. They have to share the points Manchester United had the better of the derby last season and it's looking like that will continue again this season. Manchester city are not equipped to win Manchester United.

Although Manchester City is in a somewhat less than ideal state, they still have Foden, who scored in the 18th minute of today's home match against Manchester United. Haaland also extended the lead by scoring twice in the first half, putting pressure on the Manchester United players in today's match. Manchester United is still using a 3-4-2-1 formation, which is quite fragile for a team as weak as Manchester United, but for some reason, Amorim didn't switch to a different formation to see the difference with the one he often uses.

Well, it was really a good game and I will say that of course it is worth noting Haaland who has started playing and scoring again and this is something Manchester City clearly missed last season. I also want to highlight how Citys defense played because Manchester United made 12 shots at goal and although not many of them were actually on target. But I think Donnarumma played very well for his first match and I believe that overall he will be able to strengthen Citys defense. Hopefully this will be a turning point for City and then they will be able to keep winning and wait for the chance to get closer to Liverpool.

See Hojlund, he score a goal in his first official match in Napoli.

Manchester United has series of unresolved problems starting from the coaching technique of Ruben Amorim to the players and their form which has being a disappointing performance. The hype on Manchester United winning City due to the performance of City in their 3 games  before the international break did really eluded many gamblers to assume United to be favourite in winning this derby squarely. How shocking reverse being the case in a humiliating unreplied 3:0.

Aside Bryan Mbeumo the other players that were brought to Manchester United this season have made a little or not firece consequence to the team until now after 4 games played.

Even though I wanted Manchester United to win the Manchester derby, I admit Manchester City played nice football at the Etihad Stadium, and they deserved the win they had over Manchester United today. Erling Haaland has been consistent in scoring goals in his football career, so I agree that Erling Haaland is one of the best players in the world of football right now, and if he continues with this performance, he might win the Ballon d'Or one day.

Yeah, especially when it comes to the very important game like this. Almost a half of their total squad are out of their positions. It's crazy to see what Amorim do to his club. If the purpose was to cover the injuries, i might be fine. However, it's just for the worse outcome. I believe his stubbornness will cost him his job if he still doing it in the upcoming games.

Manchester city did incredibly well in their home and with their form and how they have been playing recently I will say they tried today against Manchester united and I believe the reason why they played  very well was because Manchester united and Manchester city are rivals so they will always want to intimidate the other opponent and unfortunately Manchester united happens to be the unfortunate one. Manchester united really need to improve because they are still having problem in scoring goals and Bruno Fernandes was not noticable in today's game, I'm just wondering what Amorim is doing exactly because so far no improvement.

[Fiatless]

Yeah, especially when it comes to the very important game like this. Almost a half of their total squad are out of their positions. It's crazy to see what Amorim do to his club. If the purpose was to cover the injuries, i might be fine. However, it's just for the worse outcome. I believe his stubbornness will cost him his job if he still doing it in the upcoming games.

Manchester United's nightmare has started this season.  They are currently in the fourteenth position after four games.  Ruben Amorim would be in trouble if the club keeps losing games. Manchester City created more goal-scoring chances while the visitors enjoyed more ball possession. The next game will also be difficult since they will be at home to Chelsea.

[MainIbem]

Yeah, especially when it comes to the very important game like this. Almost a half of their total squad are out of their positions. It's crazy to see what Amorim do to his club. If the purpose was to cover the injuries, i might be fine. However, it's just for the worse outcome. I believe his stubbornness will cost him his job if he still doing it in the upcoming games.

I think I've defended this coach too much and I'm fed up, I posted this image containing Jose Mourinho speech cause I want to refer it to Amorim, his philosophy is trash if he doesn't get his selections right and since it's not working with the players he has then it's high time to change it and since he's remained confident and keep believing on his thrash philosophy, I don't really want to sound harsh but I also don't think I'll be wrong to say that he's a foolish coach and would get himself sacked, incase he doesn't remember he's only won about 8 games since he got to the team and that's very very poor.

[DaNNy001]

Yeah, especially when it comes to the very important game like this. Almost a half of their total squad are out of their positions. It's crazy to see what Amorim do to his club.

Manchester City created more goal-scoring chances while the visitors enjoyed more ball possession. The next game will also be difficult since they will be at home to Chelsea.

That game would be another hell for Manchester United and that's because Chelsea are also a very good team currently now and am very sure that Chelsea would give them a game to remember despite the fact that they would be home at old Trafford.  For me I think Ruben Amorim job is just at the brink of failing I don't think two loss more would be spared so that Chelsea game must be a win situation if they really want to make an impression.
