Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[AYOBA]

Although Arsenal is a strong team, their performance is not going very well at the moment, which is why they may fall behind in the race to win the title. Although they won against Manchester United, their performance was not good, and their loss against Liverpool is not satisfactory at the moment. However, since the next match is going to be against Manchester City, I think they may plan to perform well in this match. Currently, Manchester City has improved their game a lot, so they will definitely enter the field strongly against Arsenal. And if Arsenal cannot play well in this match, then they will have to lose the match against Manchester City, if they lose the match, Arsenal will definitely fall behind in the points table.

That’s what a lot were saying about Arsenal, but to me, their performances at this moment are enough for me. Because if we look at almost all of their previous matches, their performance was really impressive; it was only Liverpool they lost to, and if not for the free kick that Liverpool was able to score, I think the game was supposed to end up in a draw.

Their upcoming match will be a very interesting one to watch because I’m very sure Arsenal will be prepared for the match against Manchester City, and I’m confident that with their current performances, they will try as much as possible to bring out a positive result against Manchester City.

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.

He had some good games at United too, but for a goalkeeper consistency is more important than a few bright games (for forwards it's the other way around), so we need to wait for some statistically relevant sample. I think at least 10 games are needed to see how he will show himself. In fact, I understand that United is a real problem in the case of many players who have rotted there, but I doubt that the mistakes he made playing at United can be somehow justified.

If he doesn’t have good games then he’s not worth paying the price for. Andre Onana I can’t say for sure what his problem is but he’s a shadow of what he was before coming to Manchester United, I stil think Man United is cursed. Andre Onana has had several games to show himself but he keeps repeating same mistakes, he’s been more consistent in making mistakes than he has been in keeping clean sheets or saves. He doesn’t need 10 games Man United just don’t know what to do.
In a way I don’t even see Rubem Amorim as the problem but he’ll be the one to take all the blames and eventually get sacked and another takes his place and repeats same pattern. United really need to get to roots of their problems and stop blaming coaches.

[Frankolala]

You're absolutely right, if Manchester United continues to experience a decline in performance like now, I think they should fire Amorim as soon as possible. Because if Manchester United continues to be left like this, I think they could be relegated from the Premier League. Because right now Manchester United really looks like they're struggling in every match, whether the opponent is strong or weak. Even though, as we know, Real Madrid has bought expensive players, so they should have a good impact on the team's performance, but strangely, Manchester United's performance is currently declining. So with that, I think Manchester United must have the courage to take decisive action by firing Amorim and looking for a new coach who has better qualities than Amorim.

But Manchester United also really needs to be careful when looking for a new coach again, because until now they have always recruited less than good coaches. But even so, it seems Amorim will remain at Manchester United. Because until now I haven't heard any news saying that Amorim will be fired from the coaching chair at Manchester United. So yes, Manchester United may face significant problems this season. While the other big teams in the Premier League are busy with various competitions like the Champions League, Manchester United are still preoccupied with their poor form.

A very strange thing is happening at Manchester United, perhaps the current manager is not capable, I am not the type to send people away aggressively, we can see how it goes for a little while longer and then in my opinion we can decide, ourselves, whether he is capable or not.
In the end it's always up to the team to decide whether to keep him, we can only talk!

I am speechless because I don't know what is the problem of the club and the management that they haven't for once make a good decision on the right coach to hire in order to liberate the club. Since, Sir Alex Ferguson left the club, their pride have faded away gradually to this point of not still having hope on the coach. What a big problem without a solution for United.

I think at this point Amorim is just too adamant to change his philosophy. He has refused to play his players to their best position and I also believe the players have lost confidence in him.

You are right, trying player in different position is not a wrong thing for a Coach to do but if Coach saw that what he is trying is not working I mean giving a result he expected then he should take those players back to their normal position but instead he keep on forcing what is not working. I'm sure some of the players find it annoying and uncomfortable, imagine playing Amad at the left wing against Manchester city when he knew fully well that Amad doesn't play that position and if you watch the match you will see that Amad was leaving that left wing back the right wing where he normally play.

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.

Was it there last match against Manchester City?, no Onana wasn't featured on the match, although I don't no why they didn't use him but perhaps it might be because of the same thing we have  been observing about his goalkeeping approach because Manchester United coach I no wouldn't keep him out of the match if something wasn't wrong. The goalkeeper Manchester United use instead was Bayindir, it seems he was there second goalkeeper but he tried and was agile actually if not that he wasn't use that often I would have said they should be using him instead of Onana, I wish they would play him again as Chelsea come to them.

Onana is no longer in Manchester United he's currently on loan with a Turkish team Trabzonspor and in their match against Fenerbahçe was where Onana performed wonders making several saves despite the poor performance of his team and his good goal keeping saved them from conceding many goals despite the game ending 1:0 in favour of Fenerbahçe the home team. In the game between Manchester City and Manchester United Bayindir was used in the game but despite his brilliance saves United still ended up losing by 3:0. Onana would have conceded more than 6 goals if he was used in the game.

[Adbitco]

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

Apart from the fact that he didn't win any trophy, tell me the coach that has finished higher than Ole Gunner Solkjaer in the league apart from Mourinho after the retirement of Sir Alex. No need to rack your brain, there's non and after his departure, Carrick took over as caretaker coach. Manchester United has been moving or should I say, retrenching backwards every season. From statistics, Manchester United players that came in as coaches has done far more better than the clubs last 3 managers.

[HajiBagi]

Amorim should try a new formation to see his players develop, as a three-man defense typically isn't strong enough to withstand any opponent's attacks. I don't see any fault in the players, as most players who leave Manchester United can develop well and even score goals immediately for other teams. The players currently at Manchester United are good players. So, Amorim must be willing to change the team's formation if he wants to see change, especially with a formation like that where their every move is immediately read by every opponent.

Did you think Amorim will change the formation he's using? I don't think he will change it because he said after the Manchester Derby that he would change his pattern until he succeeded, from the first day Manchester United signed Amorim, I knew that he would not do anything good for the club, that is why after Manchester United lost three matches in a row, I started criticising him, Amorim will soon be sacked with the way he wants to do things, Manchester United is not good with the kind of formation he wants to use, and he still wants to continue using the formation.

Before the Manchester Derby, I predicted that Manchester City would defeat Manchester United, and some people are saying that it is a game and we don’t know what will be the result. If it is a Manchester Derby, Manchester City has defeated Manchester United every season, and Manchester United is not good enough to believe they can defeat Manchester City. Manchester City did not play well, but they took advantage of Manchester United players' mistakes.

Amorim should try a new formation to see his players develop, as a three-man defense typically isn't strong enough to withstand any opponent's attacks. I don't see any fault in the players, as most players who leave Manchester United can develop well and even score goals immediately for other teams. The players currently at Manchester United are good players. So, Amorim must be willing to change the team's formation if he wants to see change, especially with a formation like that where their every move is immediately read by every opponent.

If Ruben Amorim is a patriotic Manchester United manager, he will change his formation because it's cleary not working. How can an elite team like Manchester United suffering and conceding goals as if they're some sort of random average club? This specific defeat in the Manchester derby was awful and if I happen to be among the board of owners of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim would have been relieved off his managerial roles as manager.

Using 3 man defendlines is not effective and makes the club looks extremely weak in the eyes of oppositions. Ruben Amorim knows that Luke Shaw, York and De Ligt are not formidable and capable of holding down more like melting pressure, it's not working. Ruben Amorim should implement new strategy because winning is ascertain.

[Mayor of ogba]

I also wonder why?I personally think he's not worthy to be defended. The good is that as per the latest rumor he has 3 games to prove his worthiness. if his club still perform badly, he will be axed from the club. We have Glasner, Pochettino or even SouthGate to be a potential candidate to replace him.

These are clear signs that Amorim isn't the right man to manage Man Utd. After all, Man Utd has given him plenty of time, and things still look the same (no improvement since the start of this new season). Honestly, my gut tells me that if management doesn't act soon, a similar ending to last season could happen to Man Utd.

When Manchester United management sacked Erik Ten Hag and hired Ruben Amorim, I thought Ruben Amorim was the right man to bring the change Manchester United fans have been looking for since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United head coach, but with the way Ruben Amorim is performing at Manchester United, I am beginning to wonder if he's the right man to bring the change Manchester United fans have been waiting for. If Ruben Amorim fails to improve Manchester United's performance he might be at risk of losing his job because I heard that Manchester United management has given him three matches to prove himself.

[rachael9385]

City getting the win wasn't surprising to anyone. I know they looked not so great for a while but that doesn't mean that we are seeing a bad result, it's just not that big of a deal, and that is why there isn't really any bad results at all. We should be considering how things could change with City after this game, they could consider this as a big deal. This is why I believe that we should be able to get a better approach to this, and be a lot more winning.

Pep will use this momentum from this win to pump the players and get the better result. If they can keep doing that, then they are going to get back to top places in no time again. They do not have a bad squad neither, they should be able to get some good results.

Everyone expected manchester united to lose that's a fact, city's current form is far better than uniteds form but it's not enough to put them on a high position on that board at the moment . Im looking forward to city getting back to how they have been in previous seasons, like you said their squad isn't that bad but they need some sort of new strategy because that team seems displaced and very unfocused now

[Stormisover]

Manchester united had a disappointing result against Manchester city, allowing city winning them with an extraordinary results that made fans regret devoting time for there game. This seasons result is giving reasons why fans should loss trust in both coach and the players at large in Manchester united.

Talking about the unimaginable results coming Manchester united this season, both players and coaches should be hold responsible because at times the coach lacks the ability to make tactical changes when the team needs such changes  instead he goes about doing some experimental decisions that at last contributed the teams failure

Manchester United has really disappointed everyone this season. I never thought Manchester United would go through such a bad time. But yes, everyone goes through such a situation at some point. Looking at the current situation of Manchester United, it doesn't seem like they will be able to do anything very good in the future. Manchester United's opponents can't understand what the opponents are doing. Maybe the coach will explain everything. If the coach doesn't explain it, how will the players get it. I think Manchester United should change their coach.

No one could have really expected Manchester United to experience such difficult times even though they used to be an elite club that always competed at the top and competed for the title in the Premier League but now they are struggling to stay in the top 5 and their performance is increasingly disappointing fans every season that has not improved. Ruben Amorim has emphasized that he remains with his system but I feel that the system given is not suitable and ultimately this club is difficult to develop it yes I think the club needs to take firm action to fire him if he does not provide changes for the better so that the coach can also try harder to improve performance.

this absolutely have nothing to do with the players trust me, Manchester United has got what it takes to win match and win trophy but I think Ruben Amorin don't know how to utilize it, he doesn't have tactics he's almost clueless as a coach, he took over from Erik Ten Hang last season when the season is already half and he didn't nothing to show he can handle the team, then the transfer window was open they almost get him what ever he desires 70% now the season is started for the fans hoping to get some good results yet nothing, Manchester United front line is a front line any good coach will be happy to have but Ruben Amorin seems not to have a idea on how to use them, rather he prefers 3 man defense on angry EPL strikers.

[Arenga pinnata]

A very strange thing is happening at Manchester United, perhaps the current manager is not capable, I am not the type to send people away aggressively, we can see how it goes for a little while longer and then in my opinion we can decide, ourselves, whether he is capable or not.
In the end it's always up to the team to decide whether to keep him, we can only talk!

In fact, we've felt strange at Manchester United for a long time. For some reason, this team has struggled to recapture its glory days. Even after changing coaches several times, and even though the team has been very active in bringing in good players in the transfer market for a long time, we can see the depth of this squad every season; the quality of its players has never been doubted. But what's surprising is that ultimately, this team rarely achieves maximum results each season.

During the Ten Hag era, things improved at the start of his arrival, but then things got worse the following season. And now, in the Amorim era, we see things haven't improved since the coach's arrival. So, yes, this is quite surprising. But we'll have to wait and see whether Manchester United will improve under Amorim. Let's see. If it doesn't improve, another coaching change is likely.

[ITExpert]

You're absolutely right, if Manchester United continues to experience a decline in performance like now, I think they should fire Amorim as soon as possible. Because if Manchester United continues to be left like this, I think they could be relegated from the Premier League. Because right now Manchester United really looks like they're struggling in every match, whether the opponent is strong or weak. Even though, as we know, Real Madrid has bought expensive players, so they should have a good impact on the team's performance, but strangely, Manchester United's performance is currently declining. So with that, I think Manchester United must have the courage to take decisive action by firing Amorim and looking for a new coach who has better qualities than Amorim.

But Manchester United also really needs to be careful when looking for a new coach again, because until now they have always recruited less than good coaches. But even so, it seems Amorim will remain at Manchester United. Because until now I haven't heard any news saying that Amorim will be fired from the coaching chair at Manchester United. So yes, Manchester United may face significant problems this season. While the other big teams in the Premier League are busy with various competitions like the Champions League, Manchester United are still preoccupied with their poor form.

Although the struggling time of Manchester United is still going on as in every new match they seem like they are making more efforts to do well. And the time they just passed is very drastic and they still bear the same pain of that time. And the new coach Amorim has failed to make them perform better. I literally can't understand the reasons why they are suffering too much. Because Amorim is a good coach and he always made good things regarding himself and his performance. But there are such factors which are stopping him from doing so. And the need is only to expose those factors. Because it is not possible if due to some reasons in the past they did not do well it never means they will not perform better again. So, I think the Management first needs to focus on the causes which leads the team towards failure rather than focus on winning.

Onana is no longer in Manchester United he's currently on loan with a Turkish team Trabzonspor and in their match against Fenerbahçe was where Onana performed wonders making several saves despite the poor performance of his team and his good goal keeping saved them from conceding many goals despite the game ending 1:0 in favour of Fenerbahçe the home team. In the game between Manchester City and Manchester United Bayindir was used in the game but despite his brilliance saves United still ended up losing by 3:0. Onana would have conceded more than 6 goals if he was used in the game.

If you are been promised this amount of money and you are the player, you are going to have an extraordinary performance on your first debut. If I can recall very well, he did the same in his debut in Manchester United until later when he start to show his lazy character. I'm glad that he is no longer in Manchester United, he is free from the team and the team is free from him until the loan expired. If he does well, maybe they are going to keep him for next season.

Now that Manchester United has let go of one terrible player, they need to rebuild the team, it might be too late to make fresh transfer but some situations could have been avoided. Sacrificing Onana was the best decision they made, doing same for some poor players might not give them loan fees but they will be able to free the club from obligations to pay their weekly wages at least. Instead of running doing nothing for the club and taking money, give them to teams that are ready to fund their salaries.

this absolutely have nothing to do with the players trust me, Manchester United has got what it takes to win match and win trophy but I think Ruben Amorin don't know how to utilize it, he doesn't have tactics he's almost clueless as a coach, he took over from Erik Ten Hang last season when the season is already half and he didn't nothing to show he can handle the team, then the transfer window was open they almost get him what ever he desires 70% now the season is started for the fans hoping to get some good results yet nothing, Manchester United front line is a front line any good coach will be happy to have but Ruben Amorin seems not to have a idea on how to use them, rather he prefers 3 man defense on angry EPL strikers.

You're right I see nothing wrong with the players, thier performance is actually nice just that the coach don't have a good formation that can fit the club because I noticed that the coach is not sticking to one formation, he used different formations in all their matches, and this is really affecting the team. And this has been happening right from last season and we feel that he's just trying to find a good formation that can suit the club which he's expected to have gotten a suitable formation by now, he's making me to believe that he's not the right coach for manchester united because he's not even making any impact  he's now making the fans feel disappointed.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

When Manchester United management sacked Erik Ten Hag and hired Ruben Amorim, I thought Ruben Amorim was the right man to bring the change Manchester United fans have been looking for since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United head coach, but with the way Ruben Amorim is performing at Manchester United, I am beginning to wonder if he's the right man to bring the change Manchester United fans have been waiting for. If Ruben Amorim fails to improve Manchester United's performance he might be at risk of losing his job because I heard that Manchester United management has given him three matches to prove himself.

Some people say Manchester United still need to adapt to find its best performance but I don't think that can be a reason What is clear from the last few matches is that we can see Manchester United is unable to compete at the top of the standings. If the issue of being fired arises then I agree if Manchester United looks for a new coach, as you said Ruben Amorim probably only has 3 more matches to decide.

Almost everyone says Manchester United have a good squad but somehow they seem to struggle to win matches even against mediocre teams, if in the middle of the season Man United is outside the top 10 so I'm not surprised if management is looking for a new coach..

[Just Say]

It is true that this manager is not capable Because this coach took over at Old Trafford last year but we haven't found any concrete signs of discernment in him.It is even noteworthy that under his supervision the team was in the relegation zone in the Premier League last season. To be honest, his system was ineffective because his team was well-organized and took to the field against Manchester City. If this coach had always worked with what was best for the club in mind, I think Man United would have found a way forward very easily and they would have at least built a strong defense against Manchester City. What is the purpose of Man United officials supporting this person, since they showed the most most heinous skills in the derby match.

[Issa56]

Everyone expected manchester united to lose that's a fact, city's current form is far better than uniteds form but it's not enough to put them on a high position on that board at the moment .

Some people were thinking Manchester United will win Manchester city, since we all can see that city performance isn’t so good also, but I knew that won’t be possible because even as Manchester city are not performing so well, they still better than Manchester United, I expected a win from Manchester City in the match, but I was thinking city won’t really be able to score much goals in the match, but I was just surprised to see Manchester city score 3 goals in the match.

Even Manchester United fans knew that they won’t be able to win Manchester city in the match, they were just deceiving themselves, they were giving themselves false hope. Manchester United performance is so terrible right now, I don’t really know the club which United will be able to win this season.

What are you talking about?? I guess you don’t know that Onana is no longer a part of Manchester United squad and he’s now playing for Trabzonspor on loan. I was referring to his debut match against Fenerbahçe where he made some brilliant saves for the team and manage to keep the scoreline at 1 nil despite being a man down.

[Oluwa-btc]

Even Manchester United fans knew that they won’t be able to win Manchester city in the match, they were just deceiving themselves, they were giving themselves false hope. Manchester United performance is so terrible right now, I don’t really know the club which United will be able to win this season.

I never thought of it this way. I saw the absent squad and I was hoping Manchester United would capitalise on that to win.  I had doubts about Donnarumma likewise but he also stepped up his game. That was a stellar performance in my opinion. It was a good way for one to start his debut. The next fixture against Chelsea,  I hope to see Manchester United win or draw at least.
