Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[SmartCharpa]

Everything takes time, but if there's no positive progress within half a season, it means the coach has failed. We can't say Amorim is a bad or good coach, but I think he's simply not a good fit for the Manchester United team, resulting in no positive changes.

Overall, it seems there's nothing wrong, for example, the players are quality, as is the coach. However, Manchester United's management needs to be improved and the process should begin on the right track. They're currently in a deep slump and need effective and extra efforts to recover.

As a Manchester United fan, watching their recent game is very frustrating. I'm not sure if the problem comes from the manager, or the team still lacks the quality players required to improve. I'm not sure what they played in the Manchester derby, but we claimed that Onana was conceding unnecessary goals while the defense were sleeping on the other teams attackers. All of the goals they conceded against Manchester City were due to poor defense.

However, Amorim's strategies cannot work in the Premier League, can't he see that the players are not comfortable with the tactics in every game? He didn't want Bruno to play like he did last season, which is why Manchester United isn't scoring goals. Three man defense cannot help them, and if Amorim doesn't change his methods before the end of the season, I am confident they will replace him.

Manchester City played a more productive match than Manchester United. Manchester United still lacks a significant attacking presence. There's much room for improvement. They needed a good striker, but they haven't found one. They're still playing inefficiently. Furthermore, their defensive errors are becoming increasingly glaring. That's why they lost the Manchester derby by a large margin.

Manchester United are still much weaker in attack than City. So we saw in the match that although they are ahead in possession, they are far behind in attack, which is why they have not seen any goals. They need a high-quality striker who will help United play offensively. I still don't understand what their main problem is? Why don't they spend some money on the necessary players and work for the improvement of the team? Doesn't this reveal the weakness of their management?

United's dominance is decreasing day by day, rather they are coming to the field to give 3 points to the opponent day by day. I think that for the improvement of Manchester United, their management should be reorganized and the necessary changes should be made and the team should be improved. City's situation is also not satisfactory.

Liverpool started like this last season and they are doing that again this season with no loss. Arsenal has started their off and on games where they play well and then lose the next one. Tottenham is fair compare to last season. It was Aston Villa that played the way they are playing this season but unfortunately they are worst than Nottingham Forest. I'm not sure yet but this season is going to be rough and I can tell with my mind that Arsenal is not going to win the trophy this year.

Liverpool is once again looking strong, they are the only team that is unbeaten after Matchweek 4. We have also seen that Liverpool was able to beat Arsenal, who is second best team of last season. If Liverpool continue this form then they will surly retain the title, second time in a row. All eyes are on Arsenal that whether they will be able to win title this time or end up at some top spot in EPL. Arsenal strong point is that they have conceded only one goal in their four games.

I thought they made some changes recently, after all the money spent its a shame that nothing has changed. United are really disappointing football fans and it's something that happens every season. A lot of people say the players are the main cause of the problem but that's not what I think, even though they contribute to that set back of the club I think the issue is coming from that manager

[TastyChillySauce00]

If you guys are still defending Amorim as MU's coach. I dunno what to say to you guys. Having the worst stats^{(below 40% wins percentage)} ever in the history of MU is one of horrible achievement. I'm sure he's not going to get better from here. His stubbornness and ego can’t be changed. He signed the players to play the system he wants to play, but still doesn't work
so no reason for the club to wait for another transfer windows for him to fix it. The better for them to rip off their wound, sack him and find a new manager who has enough exp to handle their club. I'm not saying he's bad, but not a right man for the job.

Manchester United needs to work on their game because they can not repeat same thing they did like last season or they’ll risk getting relegated from the premier league which they escaped last season. They have been on a retard form for some seasons now, I was thinking by now they would have recouped and get back to their glory days. The season might just be beginning now, but their start of the season is not glaring enough to see them finishing at a very good position by end of the season. The pressure is now on Amorim and he needs to do anything possible to revive this team and give them the best season, better than what we saw from them last season.

I think as with the passing of time it will be a dream to see Manchester United in a good form. There were no satisfying results of the team Manchester United. This is true that their previous coach just leaves them very far from the betterment but now it's been too long to improve. Their statistics of winning in this season has been shared by someone and that statistics were truly unjustified. As they only manage to win eight matches from Thirty one matches. These values just showed that there is  much more for them to do to be in good condition. I think they need to reconsider all their concerns about the team about the coach and about everything which may lead them and push them to success. Because the way they are going it seems difficult to see them in good points on the table.

[Jegileman]

I'm not sure what they played in the Manchester derby, but we claimed that Onana was conceding unnecessary goals while the defense were sleeping on the other teams attackers. All of the goals they conceded against Manchester City were due to poor defense.

Manchester United fans are known for blame games, they were blaming Onana all the time for their downfall in almost every match and now that he has left, they’re still conceding more and unnecessary goals. The issue of Manchester United is now moved from blaming the players to blaming the coach. They should just sit down and strategize well this season, I feel they had good players on board now. They just need technical help to execute the plan for this season.

However, Amorim's strategies cannot work in the Premier League, can't he see that the players are not comfortable with the tactics in every game? He didn't want Bruno to play like he did last season, which is why Manchester United isn't scoring goals. Three man defense cannot help them, and if Amorim doesn't change his methods before the end of the season, I am confident they will replace him.

It is better they replace him before the end of the season or Manchester United will be replaced with another club in the premier league. Three man defense is not a good approach for Manchester United to use, because they are not up to that standard of a team to use such defensive style. Manchester United have added some good players, Amorim should not have any more complaints at this point. He should improve the condition of the team is what is needed from him now.

[Coyster]

Manchester United have added some good players, Amorim should not have any more complaints at this point. He should improve the condition of the team is what is needed from him now.

The club did not sack him last season because he joined mid-season, so he had excuses to give, such as he had not bought his own players, he didn't have any pre-season with the players, etc. That said, there are no excuses this season and that is why i am certain that it is only a matter of time until he is fired, except performance improves, which i do not think will happen. I consider Amorim to be an average manager and i don't think anybody should expect anything special from him.

[EL MOHA]

I don't know if the club doesn't dim it fit to appoint one of their own even after serving as one of the coaching crew previously. I still remember Michael Carrick as well, he was once an interim manager and managed few games. In those few games he had a very decent statistics, I wonder why the management hasn't thought it wise at least for once to give these guys a little chance to prove themselves.

Hasn’t Manchester United tried all this in the past, they actually gave more than 2 years to Ole Gunner Solkjaer and after he didn’t actually meet their targets and expectations I think they are afraid to give other past players such roles and that’s why the likes of Carrick and Van Nistrooy were given just interim roles. For me I don’t blame them not going with any of them for now because they are yet to fully show that trait as an A list manager.

Seriously i sometimes look at Manchester United and say to myself what’s the major problem because every manager they have appointed were on top of their careers before joining and still couldn’t take the team back to glory days. For me the club needs total overhaul and it should start with Glazers selling it off for some serious investor to come in

[verdinio]

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.

Perfectly said!! I don't even rate any football fan calling him a bad manager honestly. Because only a daft football fan would say things like he's a bad manager. We have quality players in front of goal who can hurt teams but we need our midfielders to detect games and control the tempo of the game. Exactly!! I don't see the fight from these players and we can't be talking about growth and change and still have players like Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire still in the squad.

This is the main reason why many people have asked whether the success of a team should be accorded to the coach or the players. Both of them will have a share of the responsibility in my thoughts. The players or squad can be blamed while the coach can also be blamed. But in trying to blame the coach do not forget, the coach cannot move inside the pitch to control the players, he can only encourage them from outside or persuade them in a unique way like it was seen in a video I saw couple of days ago where a coach argued with his striker Kweuka because he didn't believe in him.

exactly, and not many people don't realize that many players also play against the coach, sometimes even the whole team to get rid of him, these are things that happen often, you see them happen, but nobody notices and they think that it's actually the coach who does things badly

[Mr Reporter]

Everything takes time, but if there's no positive progress within half a season, it means the coach has failed. We can't say Amorim is a bad or good coach, but I think he's simply not a good fit for the Manchester United team, resulting in no positive changes.

It's just surprising to me that out of 31 matches managed by Amorim in the league, he only has 8 wins to his name, this is never a good statistics. If it were to be a classroom, it's total failure. I do not understand the tactics his deploying, I don't know if his doing experiments with his players and where they are to play. Just look at their match against City. The position he deployed some players to were not even their positions. Take Fernandez for instance, his a player that like to explore the spaces around which means his a free role player but in that match, he was deployed deep into the midfield.

Can you imagine? If truly this statistics is correct, then he has no excuse to give, how could he be able to win only 8 matches out of 31, this is extremely poor and unacceptable for a team like Manchester united level.
Yes I know that he inherited a terrible Manchester united squad from Eric ten hang but it's not a tangible reason not to win at least 15 matches out of 31.
Then talking about his tactics, I haven't pay much attention to that though, but in my honest opinion, Manchester united plays better now than when Eric ten hang was the manager of the club, and if he is given enough time to to implement his playing system, he might even surprise us all, just that his numbers is not helping matters at all, 8 winnings out of 31, that's extremely poor for a top team like Manchester united.

Bro i think Ruben Amorin is not just fit for that job, he took over from Erik Ten Hang half of last season and he's done absolutely nothing different from Erik Ten Hang it was all lost God so kind he made it to the Europa League final where he would have taken up to himself to win something but he screwed it all up, ok we all believe maybe he's just took over from half a way, now the new season is here, he's got some pretty good players than Erik Ten Hang yet the team is still struggling, let's not just bring the management into this because those guys really did their best this season it's all up to the coach to utilize it but hell no he doesn't have such idea, who still use 3 men defense in this present days of the English premier League that kind of weird, he should just go simple.

You're echoing the same sentiments about Ruben Amorim's managerial abilities. Here's a possible response:

Bro, I feel you! Amorim's tactics have been questionable, and that 3-man defense does seem outdated. Maybe it's time for some fresh ideas or a different approach. United fans are hungry for success, and it's up to the gaffer to deliver."

Ruben Amorim has three games to save his job

Ruben Amorim’s tenure at Manchester United could hinge on the next three fixtures, with reports suggesting the club hierarchy will reassess the Portuguese manager’s future following their match against Sunderland in early October, according to Sky Sports.

Amorim’s record in the Premier League has been troubling. Across 31 league games, the former Sporting manager has secured a win rate of under 25 percent, raising serious questions about whether he will complete a full season if results do not improve. The coming fixtures, a home clash with Chelsea, a visit to Brentford, and the Sunderland match, are widely regarded as pivotal in determining whether the 40-year-old retains the confidence of the board.

Financial considerations add another layer of complexity. Reports suggest that sacking Amorim within the first year of his contract would cost United around £12m, despite ongoing cost-cutting measures at the club over the past 12 months. Such a move would mark the sixth managerial departure requiring compensation since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.

Amorim’s philosophy and commitment to his 3-4-3 system have been under intense scrutiny amid a run of poor results, and the pressure to deliver immediate wins has never been greater. The upcoming trio of fixtures will not only test United’s resilience on the pitch but also determine whether Amorim can convince the club that he remains the right man to lead them through a turbulent season.

The biggest problem of the present day Manchester United is the Amorim's philosophy and commitment to the 3-4-3 system. Why is he so stubborn and rigid about this strange formation. Is it the only formation he knows how to coach?
Gone are the days that coaches are very stiff, he should atleast try another formation and see how it will play out.

If Manchester United wants to escape the same shame they saw last season, they should make their decision about Amorim so fast. I am not seeing any future between Amorim and Manchester United.

[Stablexcoin]

I consider Amorim to be an average manager and i don't think anybody should expect anything special from him.

The patience United have with Amorim will soon run out. I don't think he has had a successful run better than Erik ten Hag, the impression he started or which the club gave him was like a redemption to them, till date United are still the talk of concern in the Premier League. Nothing seems to be working for United, they brought in new coach and signed some players, this bad results will soon force the board to believe Amorim as the problem if he don't fix the performance soon enough.

I don't understand why every plan and moves that United have made in orded to redeem the team is not working despite all their efforts. Maybe, they haven't gotten the right coach to make the right decisions and players who are capable of transforming the team. If United end in a poor position this season, United wouldn't be patient anymore with him.

[Abbatty]

2 of the premier league teams who took part in the champions league today won their matches and it a very good way to start the campaign, they didn’t just win it but with a clean sheet and a top performance. It always good to see English teams do well in the champions league.

Arsenal travelled to Spain and face Atletico Bilbao, they first half ended in a goalless draw and I was beginning to think if Arsenal will be able to win it but After Mikel Arteta made 2 good substitution and it paid off, the 2 substitute players combine for the 2 goals an give arsenal their first win in this season champions league.

Tottenham also host a Spanish side Villareal. New white hart lane was on fire after so many years since last they participated in the champions league. A win is all they needed and they just have to. It was a good game even though it lack in goals, the boys put out a good performance.

More English side to play tomorrow and we hope they win also.

If Amorim continues losing match in the league competition he will definitely be sack. Because Manchester United have just be struggling to achieve three point since the season begins. They really need new players in the team if they want to challenge with others big clubs in the competition. They need new midfielder i think they should try and buy new and probably sell Bruno and bring new talented midfielder then Bruno, the attackers are not functioning good and they have better strikers but they don't have midfield that will contribute well.

If they lose like two to three matches in the premier league I think they can give Amorim notices of leaving the club, because if a team is struggling to achieve more point in the league they will always blame the coach, because that is what he ask them to play in the pitch. Manchester United really have huge problems this season and Amorim need to be sacked so that they can bring new coach to rebuild the team for the second time. I can probably says that Erik Ten Hag as even try then Amorim currently.

[Ahli38]

I get this feeling that Manchester United will shock the world with a win over City. City will be without some key players when they face United and United have been playing better this season with five midfielders and five defenders so it would be difficult for City to get the goals without key playmakers so there is a likelihood of a draw or narrow win for United.

Statistically Manchester United may be superior to Manchester City. In the current standings we can see that City is below Man United. And reportedly there are about eight City players who are injured. So it's reasonable to think that Manchester United has the potential to win this Manchester Derby match. But I believe Pep Guardiola as an experienced coach will be able to overcome this. And I also believe that he will give his best touch or even formula to his team. Because we know Pep as a coach who has contributed greatly to City's titles, where he will also be able to provide surprises. Moreover since they will be playing at their own home ground, where they will defend the team's pride. So I personally prefer to believe that City will be the winner of the upcoming match. However let's see how this highly anticipated match unfolds. Many predictions doubt the performance of City or even Man United. But I believe one thing is for sure will happen is this match will deliver a surprise.

What you said is correct because looking at the premier League table right now Manchester United appears to be strong when compared with city. Secondly most of Manchester city players are still in injury, however just like what you said pep will definitely know what to do to turn the table around when the time arise. Manchester city will definitely do there best to win this match, I believe that both side has equal chance of winning the match, however the match is going to be a very tough match. There is also possibility of draw here. The match is going to be very exciting to watch.

Finally my prediction came true and was even absolutely correct, where Manchester City defeating Manchester United and even causing an upset with a score of 3-0. From the start of the first half City almost scored a goal. And around the 17th minute City scored a goal through Phil Foden. Manchester United may have tried to put pressure on City in the second half. However, they failed to capitalize on their chances and even failed to score a goal. And we know that the final score was 3-0 through a chip shot and a low shot by Haaland. However what was even more interesting was that Donnarumma managed to surprise everyone with his good performance in his debut. This match was spectacular and I even won my bet according to my prediction.

Given the players' performance against Arsenal, I'm convinced Amorim isn't the right coach for this team. With nothing impressive shown in their game, it's time to consider sacking him. Delaying the decision might be too late. I'm always wondering about Manchester United's problem because if any of their players who aren't doing well leave to another team, they seem to be great with their performance as if they aren't the same player, look at Antony and Rashford and we'll soon see how gernarcho will improve in Chelsea and when players join Manchester United from other clubs, even with a strong track record, their performance often declines. Look at Benjamin Sesko and Mbuemo their form dipped after joining United, is the problem from the coach only?
