Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[Donneski]

West Ham are now the second team that has been able to secure a point at Everton's new ground,  Hill Dickinson stadium thanks to a beautiful finish from Jarrod Bowen in the 78th minute of the game. This is something none of teams that have played Everton being able to do. Prior to the goal, Everton were dominating the game, calling all the shots and even making West Ham make questionable mistakes but as soon as the goal came in, you could see them coming back, asking questions and would have won had Pickford not been quick on his feet.

Nuno Espirito Santo was able to record a point in his first game in charge of west Ham and this was something Graham Potter couldn't do and with how things are, I'm confident that West Ham can start delivering good results with this new boss in charge.

I was telling a friend on Saturday after it was announced that Graham Potter have been sacked as West Ham manager while Nuno Espirito Santos named as his successor that West Ham's chances of surviving relegation this season is now very high. The Portuguese manager understands the English Premier League very well and is also good with his tactical abilities so getting a point tonight at Everton I think was a very good result.
Just like you rightly said, Everton dominated the game but the away team were still able to stop them from converting their numerous chances, that's to tell you that when Nuno is done refining the Everton team, it'll become extremely difficult for anyone for other mid-table clubs to beat them.

The thing is, in that encounter Everton felt free in attacking and pressing back the Hammers because they knew they had a better chance of getting another goal and I'd tell you for free that West Ham's midfield or should I say their defense wasn't as solid as before and the midfield was poor that's why Everton came all out but they forgot that West Ham had only one plan and thats to absorb the pressure and then hit them on a counter.
The wingers of the Hammer was ready to take on any defender of the Everton side while the defenders of opposition don't have much gas to catch up with Bowen and co, so that was how they spoilt the party for Moyes and his men, honestly Nuno have something special to give these guys and if they should use this same display they used against Everton in their next game, they might get their second win of the season in the EPL.

I'm not sure people saw this coming, Crystal Palace is currently on an 18 match unbeaten run and within this period of 18 matches unbeaten, they've played against Liverpool thrice, which includes winning against them in the Community Shield, Manchester City which includes winning them to lift last seasons FA cup, Arsenal and among others. Crystal Palace has been on a mad form lately and they are a team to watch out for.

Crystal Palace's 18-match unbeaten run is indeed impressive, especially considering their wins against top teams like Liverpool and Manchester City. However, the provided search results don't confirm the exact length of their unbeaten streak. According to the latest data, Crystal Palace is currently ranked 5th in the Premier League table with 9 points from 5 games, having played out 2 wins and 3 draws without a loss

Ohh wow that's awesome!!!!
Winning 18 matches, or a streak of 18 matches, is pretty impressive. This season they are in super dominant mode and probably if they keep their team performance consistent, then there's a chance that they can get ahead more for league competition, and also they are try to make themselves qualify for upcoming UEFA Champions League competition.

This season they beat many club even Manchester city, Liverpool, Arsenal etc. so it clearly indicates to us that they are is super dominant... I hope they will try more to make more minimal in points gaps.

[Gallar]

But has Enzo Maresca's magic already worn off?
It doesn't seem to me that Chelsea are having a great start to the season!
In six matches, they have recorded two wins, two draws and two defeats. That seems a bit poor for a world champion team.

Their latest home defeat at the hands of Brighton revealed serious weaknesses in this team.

Yes, I also don't understand why Chelsea's performance is like this, even though they are world champions. But what is clear is that Chelsea cannot be called a great team and still has many shortcomings. That's why their performance has dropped drastically and is erratic. Because, as you said, Chelsea lost at home against Brighton, and I think that's very embarrassing for a team of Chelsea's stature. They should have won that match. But unfortunately, they lost. So with this, I also don't know whether Chelsea will be able to bounce back or not this season. Because currently, Chelsea hasn't shown any signs of recovering from their slump.

So, for now, I don't think betting on Chelsea is a good idea. Because I believe Chelsea's current performance, they will struggle even against a team that is not particularly strong. Therefore, we must be careful when betting on Chelsea. Furthermore, next week, Chelsea will face an even more difficult team, namely Liverpool. I don't think they have much hope of winning this match, as Liverpool are a very strong team, and they will certainly be looking for another win, having lost their previous match.

And next week, Manchester United will face Sunderland. I think Manchester United will struggle to win this match again. Sunderland's current form is quite good, even though they're a newly promoted team. Therefore, I think Manchester United will likely lose again in this match. So, what do you think?

Yes, I agree with your assumption, because Manchester United's current performance is indeed very poor, while Sunderland's performance is indeed good at the moment. The proof is that they have been able to overwhelm big teams. The proof is that Sunderland was able to beat a team like Nottingham Forest, then managed to draw against teams like Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. So with that in mind, it's true that Sunderland is very likely to win this match. However, we still have to be careful, because Manchester United is a big team and has many expensive players in it.

So with that in mind, I don't think it's impossible for Manchester United to provide an unexpected surprise for all of us. Because certainly Manchester United does not want to suffer another defeat in this match because their current position in the Premier League standings is really bad. So if Manchester United loses again in this match, it's clear that their position will be much deeper. So, if we are going to bet on this match, I think we must remain cautious, so that the results are satisfactory.

Crystal Palace really opened our eyes all, and yes they won the ratio in stages showing the power that had started consistently at the beginning of the season, of course if the intended for Crystal Palace was very great, I did not know whether he would become a dark horse that would destroy his big team throughout the season or not but for a few weeks they would amazed.

Their journey is still long, and the competition will continue to be tight in the main premiere league, especially in the ranks of Guardiola, Arteta and Arne Slot will not let this season run easily, they can rise again and as usual to become hot top leaders.

Need very hard consistency and effort to get tickets to the Champions League next season.

Chelsea will definitely bounce back in time, they have so many strong players, many of whom are extremely talented. Their problem is only tactical and athletic at the moment.
Competition in the Premier League is very high and there are always more than three contenders for the title, so I understand that fans can be a little downhearted if they get off to a bad start right from the outset. But there is time to react and Chelsea can do it.

Crystal Palace has indeed shown extraordinary results for a club that is used to being in the middle of the table outside the top 6, especially in the Premier League competition where the competition is very tight, being able to beat Liverpool and Manchester City is a very good achievement, they are strong teams in the Premier League, Crystal Palace performance is better than Manchester United I think this club might make a difference this season if its performance continues to be consistent and the target is to get a Champions League ticket for next season so it must continue to be in the top 4.

You are not wrong here bro, all that you said here are very correct, crystal palace has been like a dark force in the English premier league in the past two seasons, last year they  qualify for the uefa European league, but they were punished by uefa for failing to balance their books if am not wrong, and if you check their records against the top six premier league teams from last season till now, they have shown quality, togetherness and resolve that will be a problem in cracking them down when against them, so I believe that if they can maintain this higher level of form and try to be consistent in it, they will surely finish higher this season.
So I will be expecting big things from this crystal palace side this season because they are very good and they play as a team.

I doubt if this Chelsea team are a very serious team, well the season is still there for everyone to be taken, We know that this Chelsea team has a lot of players but my question is just that who is really the leader in this Chelsea team, they have a very bad defensive setup in the team, in football inconsistency is a very big problem and Chelsea is an inconsistent club you can’t even trust them in a football game, because they’ve are always the architect of their own problems, during the summer transfer window Chelsea were signing players and I look at the Players they sighed it doesn’t look like they are a very serious team, Because I don’t think Chelsea can win the Premier League with this players or even win the Champions League with this squad.

Liverpool will indeed be hell for Galatasaray, I do not want to believe it is otherwise because Liverpool is in a better position , well experienced with the champions league and even currently have a better form such that even with Galatasarays Victor Osimhen, there is a limit to the much they can achieve against Liverpool and with Benfica I do not want to believe that Mourinho is enough to be seen as an advantage for them because even with his experience they may end up disappointed.

Turkish teams have not been very good in terms of performance in the European championship games it's not going to be a surprise if Galatasaray get their second defeat in the champions League against Liverpool after losing in their first game against Frankfurt, Liverpool is a better side well grounded in the competition and with a better squad they may find it a bit difficult because they will be playing from away but they will get a win unless they don't play well. Chelsea against Benfica is not going to be a guaranteed win for Chelsea they are not playing well lately and Mournho as the Benfica manager can deny them points in the game if they perform well.

Yes, I also noticed that Turkish teams have a good year and then give up everything to start again from scratch in the following years. However, it must be said that Galatasaray is making and has made an excellent team with some top-class players who in fact dominate.

[SilverCryptoBullet]

I hope that the Premier League competition will be much more competitive, but honestly, I think maintaining consistent performance until the end of the season is very difficult, and indeed, Crystal Palace has risen quite a bit in the last two seasons. This season could be the peak of their rise, but it is still a small percentage. I don't mean to underestimate Crystal Palace, but I think realistically.

There are some surprising underperforming big clubs but I believe most of them will return to top positions soon. In the meantime, there are some interesting underdogs with a most impressive one is Crystal Palace. They are parts of beauty and exciting football, and watching how far Crystal Palace can go as well as achieve in this season is very interesting. It is very unpredictable with what an underdog like Crystal Palace can achieve, even they don't know about their maximum capability too.

The title in this season will be race among Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea while I believe that Tottenham Hotspur soon will fall down even out of top four. They don't have good consistency and stability to maintain a top position in Premier League and a title in UEFA Europa League last season can not change this.

[changaa]

They're the defending Champions and we're the best in the league so their lose to Crystal Palace meant that their unbeaten record this season is broken and why it trended is because no one believed they'll lose to Crystal Palace, remember that they lost to same team before the league started now this is the second lose to a team that's not in the big 6 that's why it's so suprising.

 The lose won't break Liverpool, the season is still fresh and I know they'll recover quickly and fight to get back at the top again, I'm pretty sure that Slot would be thinking of how to add more strength to his defence in the next transfer cause the match against Palace showed that it's not very strong enough yet.

I'd say it's normal to sometimes not play at your best; you can make mistakes and not be able to correct them during a match.
I'm sure Liverpool will have the time and opportunity to recover; they've always been a top-notch team. They'll surely bring on other players, or maybe even move some.
We'll see what surprises await us in the next match; I'm really curious.

[Abbatty]

It another champions league day and 3 of premier league teams will be playin today. Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham will all play today and honestly I really wish all the premier league teams will win their matches today.

Chelsea will be playing at home against Benfica, hopefully Chelsea get a win after some couple of bad results. They lost their first champions league games against Bayern so today they really needs to pick all 3 point if they want to dream about playin in the knockout stage.

Liverpool travelled to turkey to take on their champion, it going to be a very entertaining game, as both teams are very attacking oriented. After last weekend defeat to crystal palace, Liverpool will definitely want a bounce back in this game.

Spurs will be playing against Bodo/glimt, they won their first champions league game maybe today they can make is 2 wins in 2 champions league game.

The league has just begun and not yet in the mid-season. In no time Chelsea will start winning their matches and become consistent. What they need to do is to stay focused on improving their performance and have the confidence of winning the game whenever they are playing on the pitch. I will not give up on Chelsea because they always do better towards the end of the season.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I thought in the EPL they have stopped players from using towel to clean the ball before throwing, then the Crystal Palace player did it without the ref stopping the player...or are they telling us that they didn't see how the player made use of the towel?



In the Newcastle Arsenal game the ref didn't allow the Arsenal left back to clean the ball with the towel before throwing, whats happening to the officiating in the EPL? Are they favoring some teams to go ahead with the use of towel before throwing or what?

[yenerbatmaz]

Everton couldn't win a match they played well. Everton played a dominant performance from start to finish.

Malick Diouf played a key role in West Ham United's goal. He cleared the ball down the left wing. He sprinted like Usain Bolt, then delivered a beautiful cross, and West Ham scored.

After that goal, West Ham scored another goal, and that was it. Even West Ham's decision to leave the field with a point was a major achievement.

These two teams also drew 1-1 in Liverpool last year.

[Adbitco]

West Ham finally hires Nottingham Forest formal manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Recall that he was sacked by Nottingham Forest just after two or three games into the season according to the management, for a poor run into the season but the twist there is that, Nottingham Forest isn't even better since then. West Ham on the other hand has lost 5 of their last 6 matches and won only one, guess the match, the won against Nottingham Forest.

[Adbitco]

This is what Rooney has to say about the current situation of Manchester United. I saw the post in Sky Sports Facebook channel. I read it and I can see how disappointed Rooney is with his club. Although his of the opinion that Amorim is the right man for Manchester United but he questioning the mentality of the players at Manchester United. Manchester United is driving their supporters crazy. 🤣 🤣

Rooney, well he was once a manager and his seen that the job is not an easy one, even though he wanted to criticise the coach, his become to the realisation that his in no position to do that since he himself has failed in management. Of course he has no moral grounds to criticise Amorim even though he wanted to. The best bet for him was to support the coach, at least he has that decency to acknowledge that it isn't easy unlike some pundits who's only job is criticise others.

[pewboy]

Newcastle United are aware of this problem and they were expecting it since the summer but they didn't fix it totally and that costs them already and will continue in the future until they find a solution.
They are 15th in the table..

Crystal Palace aren't consistent. A draw against Nottingham Forest and Sunderland in English Premier League then a hard victory against Millwall in EFL Cup makes me wonder how they outperformed Liverpool and whether they will last for a long time in the top places.

In fact, they are at the bottom of the table with only 6 miserable points, i don't know if it makes sense to continue like this, either they make changes or they have to resign themselves to a truly mediocre season if not worse.
they are probably broke, i am not up to date on financial matters.
