Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[LUCKMCFLY]

I'm not one to wish bad on a manager but then, I don't know why I still see Newcastle United Manager Eddie Howe getting sacked. He seems like the next name to be shown the exit. Graham Potter seems to be hot sitted as well. He has to do all he can to win the game against Tottenham Hotspur when they return from the International duties. Jose Mourinho is the perfect replacement I think would be suitable if it happens.

I think internal interests are moving in many ways and sometimes we don't have that information, which is somewhat privileged. It's difficult to know For purely ethical reasons, a coach Cannot and should not talk about what's really happening , It's surprising what's happening with coaches now Every team wants to win ,they're no longer accepting defeat, Everything is on another level, and no one wants to be left behind.

Chelsea will face Manchester United in a continuation of the Premier League in Week 5. In my opinion, this big match will again drain Chelsea energy, as they've just returned from the Champions League. Although Manchester United performance has been inconsistent, I think the match will still be tough for both teams. On paper, Chelsea seems to be slightly more favored, but I'm inclined to think the game will end in a draw.

Chelsea has not lost any game so far in this season, they won 2 games while 2 ended in a draw. While Manchester United has won just one game, played one draw and lost 2 games. Chelsea no doubt is favorite for it's upcoming encounter with United but in EPL every team has the capability to win matches regardless of its position on the points table. United must start winning matches if they want to improve there ranking on points table, already there position is down due to early loses in new season.

Although not defeated yet in last four games at premier league matches but recently Chelsea defeating by Bayern Munich in Champion League match last night, its not good result for Chelsea after waiting longer time for participating at Champion League but the first match have beaten by Bayern. Advantage for Manchester United although still inconsistent performance at premier league match but they have almost one week recovering since last games defeating by Manchester City.
Based on head to head, Chelsea still favorable team for winning the match against Manchester United exactly this season Ruben Amorim can't improving yet manchester united performance still difficult to defend winning performance. Just won 1 of 4 games and getting losses two matches its bad start for Manchester United.

I don’t think Chelsea defeat at Munich takes anything off them, they are a good side and a very young side too, most of their players just had their champions league debut so it normal. To me they played a good game and also created a few chances, just that they were not that clinical in front of goal. Next week they will play Benfica and I believe they will get their first 3 points in the champions league.

It going to be an interesting match when they face Manchester United this Saturday, well Manchester United played have had much time to recover after that defeat from their rivals, and also the match will be played at old trafford so I think they have a chance in this match, Chelsea on the other hand desperately need a win after that draw to brentford and also the defeat against bayern. Both side will needs a win and they both needs to fight for it.

I don't know how credible the reports about their dressing room are, but if any of those are true, then having a big rest won't change the mood around the team that much. They need more than just a rest to play better. To be fair to them, tho, dressing room leaks have been happening for years, and most of them are rubbish. I also still believe Chelsea will get full points, even if the scoreline might be close.

After Chelsea lost against Bayern Munich yesterday I was expecting a lot of them fans to come up with their usual defensive mechanism but they went silent which is why I couldn't troll them but coming to this comment I think they should just remain silent and don't fucking say a word cause they aren't a good team despite all them gra gra this season.
Chelsea fans has no other options then to accept defeat even before the game cause they believed that they aren't capable of standing the force of Harry Kane and Oliseh who appeared to be the engine to the Munich team last night.

I was really surprised that Chelsea fans shouldn't defend their lost to Bayern Munich yesterday, which  I know that Chelsea fans are good at defending their lost when ever they lose any match to a team, but all the Chelsea fans even the ones I know in person's went silent yesterday and till today they are still silent. So I want to ask Are the almighty Chelsea fans really accepting defeat this time? If yes then I will say that it's first time in history am seeing Chelsea fans accepting defeat, and  I can remember yesterday when I told one of my guy who is a Chelsea fan that they can't withstand Bayern Munich in that yesterday match that Bayern Munich will beat them hand's down but he refused, but match played just as i told him yesterday.

Chelsea has been able to maintain a good performance but they are no match for bayern, most of my friends that are Chelsea supporters saw it coming..some still believed that Chelsea might have a chance but that was an impossible thought...in my bet I picked bayern to win without hesitating because I knew that they were not going to win bayern...although they did their best but it wasn't enough

given the way Chelsea played PSG at the club World cup, a lot of people still believe Chelsea has a lot to offer, the truth is that, looking at the playing style of Chelsea, you will notice that they are still a struggling side, they don't have much command on the activity of the ball, else Bayern Munich didn't play too much for Chelsea not to at least get a draw in that encounter. Am even sure, if it was Newcastle Bayern met, it would have definitely been a different ball game.

The expectation on Chelsea was so high, because we all know that Bayern Munich is a stronger team than Chelsea, both in performance and experience. But the belief that Chelsea always suffocate bigger teams made many believe that Chelsea would win, which they were still able to keep to zero. Chelsea really tried, but they need to do more in the Champions League, because we are not expecting to see them playing poorly with their present squad. So, I also expect more from them, as I was expecting a draw in the game.

I’ve never for once believed that theory where people are saying that Chelsea is back, Look I don’t really fancy the Club World Cup or the Conference League, who wants to play in conference league, it was a competition where most clubs wasn’t interested in playing, but they had no choice because they were selected by FIFA, Chelsea didn’t play a very strong team throughout the tournament they had an easy road to the final, but Paris Saint German had a very tough fixture, and this Paris-Saint-German team have looked like a tired team in that final, right from winning the Champions League.

I have never believed this Chelsea team, because they’re not good enough to compete in the Champions League, when you watch the way they play against Bayern Munich you’ll definitely know that this team isn’t good enough and wouldn’t make it from the group stages of the Champions League, Winning a Micky mouse trophy doesn’t make the team better.

I know we have some players who didn't perform well at Manchester United, but when they joined another club, they started player well, which made people believe Manchester United was responsible for their bad performance. But in the case of Andrew Onana, if it turns out he's performing well at Trabzonspor, I will not say that Manchester United was the problem because Andrew Onana was a bad goalkeeper for Manchester United.

yes indeed there are players who are not good and you can see it immediately, then people blame the club, but now you mentioned Onana, but there was also Antony who instead his problem was precisely the club that did not give him the opportunity to express himself at his best

Well even at that you can’t write Manchester United off in this game, we saw the same thing happen last season at old trafford where Chelsea have to scrap out a draw there. Manchester United have played just 2 home games this season and have lost one which is to arsenal, I think Manchester United have a chance in this game, well only if Ruben Amorim is supposed to start the players that are suppose to.

I still give both teams a 50/50 chance in this match, I know at the moment Manchester United looks clueless about what they are doing but in matches like this they always find a way to turn up. It just tomorrow so let see what it brings.

[banana33]

This particular match is not Worth defending man, is obvious that chelsea didn't perform well in thier previous match against Bayern munich. Regardless the fact that I'm not a chelsea fan yet I was very much disappointed at chelsea because I was expecting a win from chelsea or Draw, funny enough that I couldn't even achieve any of this. Though I never expected that Bayern munich will play so well, they dominated the both halves with possession and also win both halves. Just imagine the odd for Bayern munich to win both halves, Bayern munich just end up surprising everyone yesterday.
OP are you been serious that you are expecting that Chelsea should win bayern munich at alienz arena it's true that Chelsea has shown much improvement but expecting them to win bayern munich away from home was not a viable thing to do.



Chelsea is still a work in progress but the truth is that they are not yet there yet it will still take a while before Chelsea can come back to full form especially in the champions League so you should not be disappointed by Chelsea performance.

yes exactly it takes time and it's not easy for them who come from difficult years, when they won the club world cup they were very lucky and reached the final by chance, they were good for goodness sake but let's say that the champions league counts for more

Did you see what Rashford did yesterday, he scored two world class goals for Barcelona and those were the only goals from Barcelona that gave them the victory. I believe that if Rashford continues to work on himself we will see a different version of him. United is like a cursed club that kills whatever talent that is brought into the club. Maybe, they need a seer.

United must start winning matches if they want to improve there ranking on points table, already there position is down due to early loses in new season.

Chelsea is a favorite, but the odds difference with Manchester United is very small. I'm not sure why people are underestimating Chelsea, I think it's either draw or Chelsea, Manchester United is a weak team regardless they play at home or away.

Some of Chelsea's players are injured, but they're not really important for the squad, Chelsea have many quality players.

[Stablexcoin]

Manchester United wage bill is one of the highest in  England because most of their players are actually been overpaid because looking at Manchester United payroll, there are allot of players that are not supposed to be receiving what they are collecting weekly reducing their salary and pushing some of these players out of the main team will be the best and bring in new players is one option that can help Manchester United.

It's not a Man United problem, it is a general problem in football currently, players are over priced and over paid while their performance isn't outstanding to deserve such value. Man United are still not getting the benefits from the new signings they did, another workload and cost talking about adding more players. Next transfer window, Man United are left with the option of adding more players, until the season ends i don't think they will be ready to push some of these players out.

[Fuso.hp]

Manchester United have retained several players at high prices who are actually taking a lot of money from the club but the club is not getting much good performance from them. This season, it was expected that Manchester United would bring good quality players to their club and focus most of the transfer market discussions on them, but that did not happen. Manchester United have brought several players to their club, but at the end of the season, their contracts may turn into failed contracts. And what about the poor performance of the players? I don't know why a player who performs well at Manchester United has started to perform poorly since he came to Manchester United.

Maybe the right manager has not come to charge this team yet, which is why Manchester United is failing continuously.

Something is obviously not right with the system. This decline started 3-4 seasons back if I'm not mistaken, and there seem to be no solution. Sir Jim Ratcliffe had a idea to make a few amendments, but it still didn't work fine for the club. Those huge wages received by past players has not been fully recovered, and more are still being pay despite poor results. I think it is high time for the club to make a tough decision. I see no harm in letting their best players leave for the sake of cutting cost, morever, the earlier they allow these players leave, the quicker they opt for a solution.

And, as for the issue of players leaving Manchester united to other clubs to perform better, well, it also proved that the united system has a problem. How many managers do they have to change?. Maybe the entire system has to be reset before things can get better.

A manager plays a big role in changing the performance of a club. Manchester United has been struggling for a few seasons and they have changed multiple managers in this period but even then Manchester United's performance has not changed. If they are asked how many managers they will actually change, I think they will answer like this, they will probably keep changing their managers until they return to consistent performance. In this way, instead of changing managers every season, Manchester United should first contact a good manager and accept all his conditions and hand over the responsibility of Manchester United to him. This will show that if he gets complete financial independence, maybe he will change the entire team and bring Manchester United back to good performance.

Yes, that is the strategy used by Manchester United for its players so that they are more enthusiastic to carry out what is certain, by giving high salaries, it is hoped that there will be reciprocity, but it all depends on the performance they have. And for now, Manchester United will consider this to release its players, especially regarding the player's performance and the selling value that is what is being considered for now.

I believe there is definitely one thing that Manchester United is unable to detect or determine and that is the cause of there poor performance. From what you just said it is obvious you don't seems to get or you are also having a wrong picture of what is actually the problem or the cause of there under performance. Changing of manager won't really solve there problems because they have being changing manager for quite some season now, yet the desired result or goals has not been achieved. So I believe the issue is not just coming from the manager, what the club needs now is to run a background check up so that they can be able to identify what the problem is before looking for a possible solution to solve the problem.

Manchester United will try to get points in the home match, and I think Chelsea are capable of not losing today, but everything will depend on Manchester United’s defense. I see that Bayindir is listed in the expected starting lineup, and that’s bad, because if it stays that way, Chelsea will score today. It seems to me that Amorim has already tried everything he could and now doesn’t know what else to do to stop losing. And in such a state, it’s very difficult to win, the players feel it, and this will work in Chelsea’s favor.

[m4r1o]

But which team that the club fans doesn't expect from the players! All team fans expects that the players perform to a certain level, why is Manchester United own becoming different? I only like using top teams Vs top teams to analyse, other top teams all added players to their ranks and so far they have been gelling, take a look at Manchester City, almost 80% of the team are new players and they are both playing and doing better than Manchester United, are those players not under pressure to perform!

They are demoralized, they no longer believe in it and that's why any other player who goes there doesn't get unblocked but adapts to the situation of discontent that exists, I understand that we can't continue like this and that the fans are fed up with this situation, now they just have to change the club

[ejikeme24]

A manager plays a big role in changing the performance of a club. Manchester United has been struggling for a few seasons and they have changed multiple managers in this period but even then Manchester United's performance has not changed.

Manchester united's problem is not actually coming from the side of the coach, I think there's something going on with  the club that is yet to be review because they have changed more than 4 coaches now if I'm not mistaken yet nothing has changed. Instead it was as if they are still adding more problems to it,  I can't put the blame in the side of the coach because we know how good amorim is when he was still managing sporting cp. whenever I remembered his past record in sporting cp I always get feed up because he's no longer the amorim we used to know, forget the fact that premier league is one of the strongest league but that doesn't mean that amorim can't do well, of course he have a good potential. just like I said there's something going on secretly with manchester united that we the fans do not know.
