Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Marvell1]

Liverpool will not like to drop down from the top in the table, which means the game will not be as easy for Chelsea. But sometimes Chelsea do surprise us, and that is why most of the time they seem unpredictable. For this game, I don’t think Chelsea will be able to have a win. They might either be defeated by Liverpool, or the game will end in a draw. But one thing I know for sure is that Chelsea will maintain the top five in the table until the end of the season. Even though presently they are not in the top five in the table, in the mid-season we might see a different performance from Chelsea.

This match is very important for Liverpool. Liverpool lost against crystal palace in the last match. Liverpool is only 2 points ahead of arsenal. Liverpool  will have  to maintain the winning streak if they want to keep the top spot in the table.

We have seen the performance of chelsea in recent  matches. The team is not in good form. We can see chelsea's weaknesses in both the attack and defense. In such a bad situation, it is very difficult to perform well against  a team like Liverpool. Liverpool's attack is very strong. Even then , since the match is Chelsea's home match , there is no doubt that this match will be competitive.

Between the two clubs (Man City and Liverpool) who is more better in teams of performance this season in all competitions?

It's obviously City is having better performances than Liverpool in all of competitions this season. The picture above was their stats comparison for PL. Just look at the stats and you well see City in better in goal productions, and all mostly came from open play.

You know how City is just slowly bouncing back again. They played better and better. They finally find their rythm again after they struggled last season.  

People are doubting them when they being compared to the Liverpool. However, so happy with how they proven it wrong.

We all know that the Liverpool vs Chelsea match will be very competitive. Because both teams are very good. Liverpool has been in good form since the beginning of the season. But Chelsea's performance is not consistent, sometimes they don't have rhythm in their game.

But in this match Chelsea will try to play at their best. Chelsea will get a lot of advantage because of playing at home ground. But Liverpool is currently at the top of the points table. So I think any ground is equal for them.

Considering Chelsea's advantageous game and Liverpool's hard work, this match is very likely to be a draw. And if there is a goal, it can only be in the penalty area. Because, it will be really difficult for both teams to score goals by passing defensive players.

Amorim needs to make a change when it comes to the kind of formation he has been using that hasn't been productive... What is stopping him from using a 4-3-3 formation? Is it the board?

[pewboy]

Would like to hear from you tough, what are your reasons? why you think Enzo Maresca is not good enough as a chelsea coach? This is a man who in a very short period of time have bring them glory, won the Europa conference league, the club World Cup and also secured them a qualification into the champions league.
Like it or not, Enzo Maresca have bring in so much improvement in Chelsea. We have seen have Chelsea have struggled to get a good coach since Thomas Tuchel. Enzo Maresca is doing well and we can clearly see a blue print about what he wants Chelsea to be like.  

If Thomas Tuchel can be considered a good coach for Chelsea then so his Maresca so far, coming into a club in your first season and winning  European trophy for them if never easy and it should not be underrated.

I still hope to hear your reasons why you think Maresca is not good enough as a coach.

I don't think my criticism is due to his skill; something's broken; Maresca isn't managing to get the team moving.
Chelsea are promising, they could really do a lot. I definitely don't blame Enzo Maresca, but it's clear to everyone that the desired results aren't coming.
There are improvements, but they're missing the decisive touch where Chelsea can finish and get results. Maybe I'm wrong?

[m4r1o]

The money is available, but the management is complicit in the club's demise because they fail to provide the team with quality players. Without strategic players, how could the team have been able to function? This is the only thing I believe can help the club, as a lack of quality players also contributes to poor results. All of the clubs you mentioned are doing extremely well because they invest a lot of money in quality players, and Manchester United needs to acquire better players with potential.

And if the resources are available then they should put it to work instead of wasting time and not getting results and am surprised that they don't care about there fan base because no results can be frustrating to the fans so I fill they need to give there fans some good experience.

it is not only a question of strong players and placed in strategic positions, but also something of importance at the management level, because there are strong players and there are many of them, I understand that there is discontent among the fans, but in my opinion it is a problem that the club cannot find a competent coach for this team

Changing the formation that he is using without changing his playing tactics will not produce a good result he has bought good players but everything is looking like a joke still because the players aren't adapting to his performance if you look at the coach complain he's been blaming his players for the team's inability to win matches I think there is something that is going on in the team that is not known to the public and the formation is one of them because the coach is not used to the 4-3-3 but the formation seems to the one the players he has in his team is used to which could be what is making the team not to win matches. The coach should adjust to a new formation or get the right players that will match to his formation.

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.

Well, this was how Manchester united fans were optimistic last season hoping for their team to bounce back but it never happened until the end of the season and up to now they're not able to bounce back. As for Chelsea, I don't see them bouncing back any time soon because they're not playing like a team that want to bounce back. Chelsea actually have players despite not classic players but they are beyond average players definitely but unfortunately, Maresca is not an experienced coach that knows how to make good use of this players. So, even if they have four contenders for the Premier League title, Chelsea is not among them yet.

I don’t see how United can bounce back this season.  In as much as I feel pity for United I still don’t want them to succeed. For Chelsea, they are the architects of their own problems. I have always had it in mind and I want to share for the first time that the current owner of Chelsea is mainly interested in business and stacking his pocket because I don’t see any direction the club is going with signing every player in the market apart from to resale after a while for higher figures and make more money not considering how these players will be managed by the coach and how he will be able to make the best out of such a large squad.

This is a sign of frustration from Amorim. Didn't he say he wouldn't change his formation, loudly declaring it all depended on him? Now, a change in formation signals Amorim surrender and a gamble. Like it or not, Sunderland comes into the Premier League this season with incredible motivation, so I wouldn't be surprised if Manchester United lose. Sunderland six matches have 3W, 2D, and 1L, making them quite optimistic for a visit to Old Trafford.

[Ahli38]

Is like this season is Liverpool's turn to perform weak just like Manchester City performed last season but from how these two teams are performing who would finish ahead of the other this season? For me I don't expect Liverpool to finish in the top 4 if they continue like this and Manchester City are not that stable if you ask me, against the smaller side they struggle if the smaller side defend and attack very well and against the big side they play like everything is good but ones they score you'd see their defense shaking like they're with a man down just like they did against Arsenal. Between the two clubs (Man City and Liverpool) who is more better in teams of performance this season in all competitions?

Statistically Manchester City appears to be superior to Liverpool. However the points earned are the most important factor in maintaining their position in the standings, where Liverpool currently sits at the top. Manchester City is far behind Liverpool. This means that Liverpool has great potential to remain in the top four as long as they can maintain their position by consistently earning points. In addition Liverpool's defeat in the last match is normal for me because we can see that several of Liverpool's key players were rested in order to maintain their physical fitness. As for Manchester City they still need to focus on collecting points in order to climb the standings. And they need several matches to make it happen. So I think we can still count on these two teams to secure their positions in the standings. And they still have plenty of opportunities to prove their best performances. So let's see how they perform in the future. I am really looking forward to seeing these two teams face off. However it seems that it will still be a while until November.

Manchester United has been long gone since and I don?t think they will recover back anytime soon. They have been playing quite a very bad game which won?t make them to win any game or even progress in the premier league. Most of the small teams in the premier league are now even playing better than them and they don?t have a chance against them when they meet head to head. The problem with Manchester United is not in the players nor the coach, so we can?t really picture them returning back to old glory days anytime soon.

I will keep saying that all Manchester United needs is a good coach. A coach who can handle everything in the dressing room and sign the profiles of players he wants. A coach who is very tactical and very disciplined and doesn't allow the atmosphere in the club or fans to affect the players. They need a very good and experienced coach. An average good manager will not work. Since Alex Ferguson, Manchester United has not had a top-class coach, which is what they need right now.

Take a manager like Hansi Flick, for example, at Manchester United; the club has the money to give him the kind of players he wants. They should allow him to sell whomever he wants to sell and buy whomever he wants to buy, and see if the team doesn't improve. I don't believe in curses or whatever; football is a system, and when something in that system is broken, it won't work well. From Moyes, to Van Gaal, to Mourinho, to Ole, to Ten Hag, to Amorim, none of them have been the kind of top-class manager United needs, and when a fairly top manager (who is no longer at the top of his game) handle Man United, you could see the difference from that time and now.

si in effetti la cosa fondamentale che devono fare è cambiare allenatore e investire in un progetto tecnico valido.
Ora come ora mi sembra di vedere una banda di giocatori che non hanno minimanete intesa, poi chiaro ci sarà tempo per migliorare e l'intesa nascerà ma non possonoa spetare oltre

Sunderland are off to a great start this season. Yes, the match is definitely a threat for United, because Sunderland's recent performance shows how good they are at winning. It certainly won't be good for Amorim if they lose or draw against Sunderland, because they will be playing at home. I don't know why United management is not doing anything positive towards changing the coach yet, because I can see how Ruben Amorim is being given chances again and again and he is failing again. The start of this season has not been good for Manchester United either, their defeat percentage in 6 matches is 50%. This certainly does not indicate a good position for a team.

People are doubting them when they being compared to the Liverpool. However, so happy with how they proven it wrong.

We know how the players shop at Slot. So at first I was sure that not only me, Liverpool was a team with championship aspirations. But it seems that Slot's strategy has not been fully effective. The incoming players have not been able to make a significant contribution. I don't understand if this is an adaptation issue or if they are simply unable to compete with the pace of the EPL. Take Wirtz for example, I haven't heard of many brilliant performances at Liverpool. It's very different from when he was with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

The bundesliga and the premier League is an entirely different league and sometimes players find it hard to adjust well at least we can say that for an excuse for wirtz case but I don't think same can be said for the isak who is used to the pressure and tension of the premier League but yet still flops in his performance. In the case of isak I think the role he occupied in Newcastle is now different as all focus isnt centered on him.

Changing strategy is far better than sticking with a back three and always losing, and it would be a good thing if Amorim seriously considered his new formation. He is indeed a bit stubborn, as in several interviews he has consistently stated he won't change his formation. Conceding goals is nothing more than the defense's difficulty in blocking the opponent's attacks, and that is indeed Man United's weakness so far, which Amorim needs to address immediately.

Sunderland are not a tough opponent and they are motivated after achieving promotion to the Premier League and teams like this usually have no burden in playing. So if Amorim still maintains his ego by using three defenders, it will not be surprising if Man United later suffers another defeat.

There are some matches I have said that Liverpool will win but they end of losing the match, there are some matches also I said Chelsea will win or draw but they end up losing the match, for me I really can't predict who will win between Liverpool and Chelsea however from the current form Liverpool is more informed than Chelsea and for the fact that Liverpool is stopping the league and they have lost their last premier League match and even there champions league match they will do everything possible to make sure that they win Chelsea in this match in other to keep their top position, however Chelsea in the other hand we also want to win the match in other to clamp the table, so let's just see how it goes any team that win good for them.
But I'm predicting and betting on Liverpool to win the match because I have trust in them more than Chelsea.
I will surely watch the match because the match will be interesting and tough.

Amorin should try something new about the formation and change it for the good of his team, because in controlling the ball the defensive midfielder is considered less solid and that is what needs to be fixed now when I pay attention to his shortcomings. Even though Amorin has become accustomed to his three central defenders with the formation of the number of defenders being four, it will build a more stable strength when the opponent counterattacks.

Amorin is a sturbon coach that doesn't study opponent system to adapt. He so believes in his own system and doesn't care what will work for the team. Everyone notice how disorganised Manchester united is when marking but Amorin is not paying time to this or even makes attempt to oppose his opponent formation.

Look at Manchester united defense too and you'll notice a wide space that makes it easy for opponents to penetrate. He believes in his own system of pressing but failed to work on how absorb pressure. Sorry to say that his system is just a foolish one because you can score goals neither defend goals. If he fails to change tactics, his exist is certainly near.

Most people expect Liverpool to win this match and even on paper it feels like a match that Liverpool will win, but I think it's going to be a very competitive match since Chelsea will be playing at home. Liverpool has started the season winning a lot of match, but I really don't rate them that high, we can see the evidence on how they lost their last 2 matches, also I have always complained that they let in too many goals and that it's a big problem for a team trying to win a trophy.
Most people are talking about Liverpool losing their last league match to Crystal Palace and they forgot that Chelsea lost the last 2 matches to Manchester United and Brighton. In my opinion it's going to be a very competitive match because Chelsea need to get back to winning ways and they also have the home advantage.

I don't think Amorin changing formation is the best, because he has enough time throughout last season till this new season nothing new from him or change from the club, Manchester United needs a new coach rn to understand the faults in the team and then try something new and make changing to the club, Manchester United isn't longer the Manchester United we use to know before again, no improvements from the coach Amorin, so they need a new coach to elevate the club and bring back the United we use to know before, I don't think Amorin is the best coach for United, they should bring a new coach that understands the game more better, Manchester United is a great club so it needs a great manager/ coach to make it great again.
