Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

As they jokingly say, the only active person in Manchester United is their bus driver. He doesn't fail to take them to the venues where they are beaten. I yesterday's game against Manchester City, Benfica chiefs were in attendance at the Etihad to monitor Amorim's situation in the club and if he feels like he wants to leave the club or if eventually Manchester United sacks him, they are willing to hire him. Wow, that means there are still clubs that believes in him which is to say that, his not entirely the problem from this gesture from Benfica.

Amorin is never a problem he was the best coach when he was in sporting the problem remains in the system Manchester United doesn't have a good team that can perform yet. The players in United are not doing enough to win games they are not competitive and is relaxed no matter the result that they get.

The most annoying thing is that Manchester City were not even at their best and they still beat Manchester United 3-0. In my opinion Manchester City did not have an outstanding performance aside from Haaland that scored 2 goals, no other player was outstanding. This only get to show you how bad Manchester United played. At this point I don't even know the issue with Manchester United anymore,  they have spend a lot of money and still not doing well. Congratulations to Manchester City.

I don't know about others but as for me I don't see Manchester United as a big team anymore maybe in future they will become great again but until then when they have matches against top teams I won't expect much from them. Manchester City are not at their best form but they were the home team so I expected them to win. If they can't win United at home with this poor for united are in then it would be a shame on them. I think Doku tried too but Haaland got the goals. I think of all coaches appointed to Man Utd Amorim has been the worse of them because instead of the team to improve they are getting worse. I think getting a new coach as soon as possible would be the best before the season gets far.

Manchester United hasn't achieved the success it's long desired. Many signings have been made, but they're struggling to compete with other teams and are falling behind. We know Manchester United's previous successes, but the team is no longer capable of achieving them. The team's performance isn't up to par. Many things need to change within the team, but doing so isn't easy.

City took advantage of playing at home to secure a 3-0 victory. Manchester United needed to react, but they didn't. In fact, one of the problems is Manchester United's inability to react in such matches.

[Stable090]

Exactly they've been lucky for the past three matches and it's really making them to believe they're the best of team this season, like those guys are not really l playing to my own expectations,

Liverpool performance isn’t bad this season, they haven’t lost any match yet, and they are currently at the top of the table, but am not satisfied with the way Liverpool are playing, it’s surprising the way Liverpool are conceding goals unnecessarily, the only thing helping Liverpool right now is just the strong attack which they are having, but their defense is kind of weak, which is making them concede easily in matches.

Liverpool were able to get a win in their last match, but I will say they were lucky in the match, they scored towards the ending of the match, I was thinking the match will be a easy win for Liverpool, and I was expecting Liverpool to score multiple goals in the match, but Liverpool struggled in the match, and they were lucky for the penalty which they got towards the ending of the match, which they converted to goal, the match would have ended as draw.

The players in United are not doing enough to win games they are not competitive and is relaxed no matter the result that they get.

Whenever a team is playing badly, most of the fault is from the manager, that is why managers get fired when the hierarchy at a club are looking for better results. The quality of football played in the EPL is miles ahead of the Portuguese league, so because he was good at Sporting does not mean he would succeed at United. That said, i think Amorim is a manager that is below average, his pattern is clearly not working and it is only a matter of time before he is fired.

I’m eager to hear what you guys think about Onana’s performance yesterday’s game. I didn’t watch the full game, I only watched the highlights on YouTube and I saw Onana made some interesting saves but I can’t speak on his overall performance in the game. I want to know if Manchester United was the problem or is Onana just a bad goalie.

I think it's not just about Onana, but also about several players who managed to return to their best form even in their debut matches, such as Rasmus Hojlund, who scored on his debut for Napoli. Yes, including Onana, who put in a solid performance with several brilliant saves to keep Trabzonspor's goal out, becoming Trabzonspor's best player in the match. Not to mention several other players who had already left Old Trafford.

And back to Onana, when he moved to Trabzonspor, he was warmly welcomed by the Trabzonspor fans, a moment that positively impacted Onana's performance on the pitch. Furthermore, when Onana had to move to Trabzonspor, it was a very disappointing decision for the club. And stemming from that disappointment, along with the warm support from Trabzonspor fans, I think this is what made Onana perform even better. He wanted to make Manchester United regret moving him to Trabzonspor. This further proves that support from the fans can have a positive impact on improving the performance of the players, and this is something that Onana did not get when playing for Man United because he was always the scapegoat for the defeats experienced by the team.

Manchester united have not been able to figure out exactly what there problem is and they have sack and even bring in new players but nothing as changed and I don't even blame you for not see them as a big club because they are struggling so much that they can not even balance what ever is happening in the Club. And even in the future you can not say if they will be able to keep up or not because that balance is no longer there.

I don't think they should even be compared with Manchester city at this point what have Manchester United accomplished to me nothing, and even before that game I had this feeling that there is no way that Manchester United would have been able to defeat Manchester city aside them been at home.  And doku given two assit shows commitment coming from him already. Even if I did not expect Manchester city to score 3 goal but to my surprise they did and it's a good one.

[Adbitco]

Is this a way of trying to motivate his team to play better? Liverpool coach has unveiled a wall of moment at the training ground for Liverpool players which consists of the three wins earlier in the season. If it's to motivate them going into games, why is it at the training ground instead of the stadium! I'm just thinking aloud because training is different from the real 90 minutes.

This is stray bullet to Manchester United supporters and as funny as it may sound, you are right because a lot is wrong with the club. Even the coach is becoming frustrated by the day. If this trend continues, there will be so much pressure on the management of the team to sack Ruben Amorim. He is a good coach but seems he is not just lucky with Manchester United. If he returns to Portugal, he may do well there since its obvious he is luckier in that league.

Everyone knows Manchester City hasn’t been performing at their usual level this season, but they played differently against Manchester United. In that match Manchester City showed a great performance, with all players delivering their best, which led directly to their victory.  Haaland played well, as you said, scoring two goals. But Doku performance was exceptional, he frustrated Manchester United defense with his agility and technical ability, he provided the assists that were converted into goals. Currently, Doku is the key player driving Manchester City attack, Bernardo Silva contributions in the front line have decreased, but he still made an impact with a brilliant assist that led to their final goal. I expected Manchester United to try and stop Doku, but they failed, which made it easier for Manchester City.
Manchester United performance was disappointing, I expected a closely contested match given both teams current form struggles, but Manchester United display was too poor after spending a huge amount their squad.

Amorin is never a problem he was the best coach when he was in sporting the problem remains in the system Manchester United doesn't have a good team that can perform yet. The players in United are not doing enough to win games they are not competitive and is relaxed no matter the result that they get.

One of the problem with Manchester United as it is, is the fact that they tend to rely on coaches to solve their problems. Well, technically a coach could do that but, only through instilling the right mindset in the players his got.

Compared to few other teams in the EPL, Manchester United have got a formidable force too but, they aren’t playing up to their full potent and aren’t playing well as a team. They need to figure out how to harmonize their play and get better results, it’s being lackluster performances all over.

[justinlamode]

Liverpool had good chances against Burnley in the last minute of the match, but Liverpool strikers not being clinical enough was the reason why they couldn't score a goal against Burnley on time. Burnley head coach knows that he's not a match for Liverpool, so he decides to adopt a defensive football if he can earn a point against Liverpool, but yet he still fails to achieve his goals.

I'm pretty disappointed with Liverpool not in terms of play but in terms of goal market. They were excellent in the game but failed in the final third, so many wasted efforts that were supposed to be converted into goals instead the ball was ballooned away. A late penalty was their saviour if not for that, it was about to end in an ugly stalemate for the champions.

Don't be emotional bro, it is football and for the first match after break is always full of surprises. They should be happy with the three points they got because not easy to get that from a team that was that determined like Burnley were. I know Liverpool was not in the top form we know them for but they were able to get the three point which is all that matters. A win is a win and it has its way of raising the confidence of the players.

Are you for real? Doku was quite outstanding in that game as he was very instrumental and also laid the ground work for two goals to be scored. Yes, he didn't score a goal himself, his presence was greatly felt on the game. I had wanted and hoped for Manchester to win the game but after the second goal, I lost hope of a comeback from United. I wasn't wrong as City scored a third goal sealing their victory.
Man city deserved the win as they played some good football against United yesterday. They may have not been at their best like you think, that didn't stop them from giving Man United an ass whooping.

This could probably be considered one of Man City's best performances this season because they played impressively and had a very well-coordinated rhythm throughout the game. Even if only Man City could play like this against Liverpool and Arsenal, I think they have a good chance of winning. It's just that City remain struggling to maintain their consistency, therefore their performance is still inconsistent, and not always the same in every match.

Despite the performance shown by Man City, their opponents were indeed completely out of sorts in this game. What I see, Man United not only lost in quality, but they also lost mentally.

[DYOR+BTC]

After few matches played now in the English premier league now I think the champions have already been esterblished  and if there will be change I don't think it will be significant.
Liverpool have ended up winning all their games completely without any atom of lost in all the games, that's a clear indication they can still become the winner of the English premier league this season. There game yesterday was never an easy one for them against Burnley because they managed to secure a die minutes win against Burnley in an unimaginable way but to be honest it was in did a great game for them yesterday. Judging from the way the league is going now I strongly believe there investment in the transfer window was never a wasted one and they are already making it happen for Liverpool now

If he returns to Portugal, he may do well there since its obvious he is luckier in that league.

Yeah, most people are still blaming the coach and calling him clueless. I don't even know if it's the management or the coach that's the problem anymore. Sometimes, his pick of players doesn't actually suit the game at that time. Just the game against City, Bruno was playing deep all because he was paired with Ugarte and from the look of things he didn't trust Ugarte to be alone in at the back that's why he didn't have that free role but after Ugarte was removed and replaced by Casemiro, Fernandez went to place 10 and we started seeing him up front but it was already too late. I'm not saying that he would have made the difference but if he was playing at his normal position, Manchester United wouldn't have been beaten like that without scoring.

If you are mean the fact that Liverpool had to leave it late before they could beat Burnley was because of stress, fatigue and disorientation that came from the international break I have to disagree with you on that.
Liverpool before going to the International break has been winning almost like the same way they did against Burnley so I think the problem has been there even before the international break.

[Mr Reporter]

If it's to motivate them going into games, why is it at the training ground instead of the stadium! I'm just thinking aloud because training is different from the real 90 minutes.

Well to me i felt that's an interesting tactic by the Liverpool coach! Having a visual reminder of past wins at the training ground could help players draw motivation and confidence from those successes. Maybe it's meant to inspire them to build on those moments and create more winning performances. Who knows, maybe it'll become a pre-match tradition to take a team photo in front of the wall before heading out to the pitch.

I'm sure Liverpool's victory is encouraging, but their performance is a major problem. They've won every match in the standings, but they haven't been playing the same impressively as last year. They're managing to win, but they need to learn to win more and also show their impressive play here. They face Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, and a tough match awaits them.

I'm not satisfied of how Liverpool performs so far but the table says otherwise but conceding 4 goals in 4 games doesn't look super promising for the long season of EPL and personally I do enjoy Arsenal football more than Liverpool and I can even trow Chelsea there right now.

In UCL , I think Liverpool will do fine until elimination phase but I could see Madrid snatching 1 point from them or even 3 points with a bit of luck as Atl.Madrid is not doing great so far in start of LaLiga .

[Richbased]

I’ve watched every Liverpool game this season — they’re winning, but not because they’re the better team. It’s mostly because luck is on their side (a late goal against Newcastle, a wonder goal against Arsenal, a silly penalty against Burnley).

They’ve had a lot of luck, but sooner or later, luck runs out. Then we’ll see if they have the quality to make up for it.

Lucky or not, the fact remains that the three points were secured. So, there's no reason to deny Liverpool a victory just because of that one goal. Underestimating Liverpool would be wrong, because in this season's Premier League, have you ever seen a team better than them sweep all their matches unbeaten? Except your favorite team might not be in the top 3. So I'll understand

Liverpool can never be underestimated. However, I personally am still unsure whether Liverpool can be considered lucky or not. Like in the match against Burnley, I actually saw Liverpool as unlucky. They kept controlling the ball but couldn't really create many meaningful attacks. That's not like them. However, their victory does show that Liverpool were still lucky. But the victory was a fair result. In fact, Liverpool should have scored more goals.

Liverpool still has weaknesses at the back this season. And these weaknesses weren't really visible last season. I hope Arne Slot really addresses them soon, because if Liverpool face another strong team, I worry about their defense.

Liverpool has been lucky so far because imagine winning all 4 matches within 80+ minutes and at injury time. The first game against Bournemouth they won it in the 88th minute, against Newcastle they won in 90+10 minutes, against Arsenal it was 83th minute that they scored and against Burnley they scored in 90+5 minutes so it shows that they are really lucky especially against Newcastle and Burnley because both winnings came at stoppage time. Liverpool's defense was only porous in the first 2 games they played but Arne Slot really did a good work after then because in their last two matches they didn't concede any goals again which shows that there is an improvement in the defense area.

Yes Liverpool have actually been playing a lot under the wire this season leaving games until the final minutes to win grab a win, in as much as this is a good with the fact that the players do not easily give up it is a bit scary that they cannot kill off games comfortably and needed set pieces for that, this will most certainly not last long like that as they need to start killing games off early before they actually have it difficult to win.

For the defense yes I can say for the last two matches they haven’t conceded but is it really because the defense has been better or because of the nature of the opponents, for me it is the latter, the first two matches had opponents that score goals but the last two matches had both clubs that came with a low block style of play, Arteta’s arsenal were definitely not playing fast or attacking mind style in this game and we all know Burnley were just Burnley, for me until future games i wouldn’t give my verdict on the defense
