Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Stepstowealth]

I think that was a good win. Another set piece and a penalty, then a clean finish by Gyökeres. That's enough for 3 points. In a week when Manchester City won, even a draw would've been bad for Arsenal. It's good to see them able to win under this kind of pressure. These wins are encouraging for the end of the season.

Gyokores took the penalty with a lot of intention, even if Pickford had had a hand to it, he would not have been able to stop the ball from entering the goal. Some Arsenal supporters would have been expecting Saka to take the kick as he normally does, but it was confident for Gyokores to take it. It was not a goal from Open Play, but it was an opportunity to hit the net and get some confidence from it.

Arsenal did not use Eze today, I think they are resting him for the EFL game against Crystal Palace this coming week.

Arsenal has already taken the lead in their away game against Everton, they have tried so hard to win the Premier League for years and their team keeps improving yearly as they have managed to finished second in three consecutive seasons which shows how well committed the team is and how serious the manager is. This season, Arsenal looks very serious, they have all the players a team will need to win trophy, they have more squad depth than any other team across Europe, and because of that, they didn’t drop much points despite playing without all their starting defenders, and yet they are topping.
I am hoping on them again this season because they have more squad then Manchester City and Liverpool.

Arsenal is in the lead at the moment by a goal. Perhaps that should give the lads more motivation to push ahead to score more to secure their lead and ultimately win the game. As it stands now, anything could happen and Arsenal may come out of that game with a draw. Arsenal has had some good time with the ball and would likely hold on to victory. With Man city hot on their heels, they need all the points they can get.
I agree, they're serious this season after having finished second place for a couple of times now. They're getting better in their squad and are again, looking good enough to win the league this season.

They now have 39 points and now back at the top of the table again, this team are indeed the best in the premier league currently...I was expecting them score more goals but unfortunately they couldn't but it is still a relief that they are back to the top of the board...Manchester are still few points away and they are the only threat to arsenal currently, if they lose any game they would be replaced

With a single goal from Gyökeres, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Arsenal can get 3 points,  I know that if this is the case then Arsenal will be under pressure especially seeing Manchester City continue to follow with a series of wins, Arsenal must be a little vigilant going forward because even a draw can affect it.
Going forward Arsenal's opponents will not be too difficult, I predict they can win because of the performance that is still solid until now.

A penalty from Gyökeres in the first half did give Arsenal another away win, but looking at Arsenal's overall performance, Arsenal should have won by more goals. However, Everton's defense remained solid despite being under constant attack from Arsenal players, so only one penalty gave Arsenal the three points. Furthermore, this has given Manchester City a better goal difference than Arsenal, so if the two sides are level on points, Manchester City will be in first place, a pressure Arsenal must take seriously this season.

Leeds is currently beating Crystal Palace right now and to be frank, I'm surprised because I was thinking it will be the other way round but it's totally different, now can Leeds hold on and win this very game or we are going to see similar thing that happened between Newcastle and Chelsea earlier today. In the other match, Arsenal leads Everton which is totally expected especially after Manchester City beat West Ham to go top temporarily.

Criticze Arsenal all you like it but at the end of the game three points is all that matters to these players with all honesty.
 As much as they can get consistent winning percent they will go on to winning the league.  As for Crystal Palace, I think it is another that time injuries and fatigues kck on completely. They had a disappointing Europa conference league competition fixture as they went on to draw with England one of the bestside. Nothing to say another Chelsea, the manager gambles a lot to win games

But you just tagged the wrong post or don't you think so? In this very post you tagged, were did I criticise Arsenal? Of course I didn't. I only said Arsenal were leading which is very much expected after all they needed to win because Manchester City had already displaced them at the top and this meant that they must win at all cost to reclaim the top spot. You should have actually tagged the right post were I criticise Arsenal, what I said here was just the reality on ground and even Arsenal fans knows it that it's supposed to be a must win match.

Any scoreline that'll give Mikel Arteta maximum three points is what he actually needs at the moment regardless if how it comes. Arsenal before coming into the game already knew that Manchester City had won their game earlier against West Ham and were top of the group with a point better than them so the decided to give their all just to achieve their aim. The pressure Manchester City is mounting on Arsenal at the moment os just too heavy and without being sentimental, I think it'll be extremely difficult for Arsenal to maintain their position till the end of January

[Balmain]

Erling Haaland has no intention of stopping. He scored two goals against West Ham today. This is apparently his highest-scoring opponent, and he's now added two more goals to his tally. The passing for the second goal was excellent in tight spaces, they went for it with quick, effortless passes. Manchester City continues to closely pursue Arsenal. Arsenal could have dropped points again today; they beat Everton by just one goal, a penalty. If Manchester City takes the lead, Arsenal might not be able to catch up.

Arsenal needs to maintain a consisted form in order to maintain their position at the top of the table. Arsenal has been very commending in their games recently, but they’ve already misused their best of chance in the past and needs to get a new one now. The premier league competition is still very competitive and very difficult to predict the team that will stand a better chance for the trophy. Anything can happen at anytime and even the worst case scenario could take place anytime and we get to see a major change in the title race. Arsenal needs to maintain the lead and I hope they can get to achieve their aim at the end of the season also. They’ve tried long enough not to let this opportunity to miss them, so I hope they can this time around.

Some Arsenal matches looks easy because it is our players that are fit, so they are suppose win with good shoreline, but the matches are always easy for Arsenal because all eyes on Arsenal and these average teams are trying their best to make sure they stop Arsenal so that they can be used for discussion on how to or how is defeating Arsenal so that they can help others teams to jubilate and take their credit since they have defeated Arsenal.

Arsenal performance has had been depreciating since their last three matches, I know how injury is affecting thing the team, but Arteta can do better to help the team before Manchester City will
Take their credit since lead.

honestly, Halland is just so unstoppable right now, he is at the peak of his game, he just keep adding to his gaol tally whenever the opportunity arises, 2 goals against west ham is just another day in the office for him, Man City is definitly on a streak to lift that trophy again and if clubs like Arsenal refuse to take their chances whne they see it, then Pep will just capitalize and motivate his players to ride on to glory.

[Anayochukwu]

The table is not friendly with Arsenal any mistake now Manchester City would definitely take over so they need to continue like this to avoid losing the premier league this season because nearly they would have ended the match draw. However, this is the time that would know if Arsenal would lift the trophy or not because I don't see Manchester City like a team that is ready to lose any match, they're fully prepared for the title race now so Arsenal need a lot of work to do which is not satting yet because with the force Manchester City are coming now I think this season premier league wouldn't pass them by.

[Despairo]

Are you sure you really watched the game ? Because Liverpool dominated the game, and Tottenham scored from a set piece which can happen to anyone in Football game, it was a very strong game and Liverpool playing away was very tough for them, even after conceding that goal and getting a red card Tottenham tried to get into the game with a high intensity and a physicality game, they got Liverpool three players injured, Bradly, Isak, and Frimpong, they were playing a very bad football which lead to them getting sent off twice in that game.

Even though Liverpool played in Tottenham's home, they should be able to win convincingly because Tottenham only played with 10 players, despite Liverpool dominate on the pitch, but Tottenham is still able to create more chance than Liverpool.

I would say there's no improvement with Liverpool, they're still same, the difference is they won when the opponent they face is weak.

The recent performance of Arsenal does shows a decline in their side, they have some little rough edges that they need to fix. That asides Arsenal has got one of the most solid forms in the champions league and now they are having some issues that may affect their productivity, the champions league has got a different level of competition, hopefully they get back on track and compete as firmly in the champions league. But with the Premier League, their chances is highly threatened.

[Agbamoni]

Honestly, I have no big idea about this. Both teams sometimes play well, but sometimes the match is very inconsistent. However, at least Chelsea's performance so far is still quite good compared to Newcastle, so I think Chelsea can get a more optimal result this time. However, of course, this is if they play the full time and have no major errors again. So far, Chelsea's dominance has been higher for the win against Newcastle. But as said, we'll just have to wait and see whether they can extend their dominance in that match.

Chelsea is the favorite side; people will choose them to win over Newcastle. After all, you saw the result today, and if you had watched the game, you would have noticed Newcastle took the lead early in the first half because they were stronger and clinical. I dont know what came over Chelsea in the second hafl, to equalize the game.

In case of next time, when a big team is facing any club playing in a park (Saint James Park, Villa Park, Goodison Park, and Selhurst Park), it is always difficult to win there.

These are the kind of wins that will determine Arsenal's season, few seasons ago it's these kind of fixtures that Arsenal often drop points but I have noticed that this season things are different. Arsenal has won most of the matches that naturally they usually dropped points, so far this season, two losses which I can't say happens before at this stage. It's was a very decisive win, I know there are matches we will be seeing matches that are hard and I hope they come out with narrow wins like this because these are the kind of matches that will define the season for the Gunners.

[Bobrox]

Its wrong opinion underestimate the victory of Liverpool last night against Tottenham Hotspur, did you watch the match how fatal fault from Xavi Simons when receiving red card at 33th minutes? Tottenham Hotspur played more aggressive and made many fault until Alexander Isak have got injury and sent off after scoring the first goal.

No matter how many able to create chance or attempt but who win the games? Liverpool played well last night this important victory most helpful get defending the top 5th position. Liverpool has the same points with Chelsea at 4th standings but lack productivities goals and its most important trend for returning back as big four of premier league team.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I don't know how to respond to this because you made me laugh seriously, they are funny, Arsenal are just hard to predict. I completely agree with you on what you said but not all, this Arsenal we are seeing now are better than they were last season, fine they can't leave that poor mentality of theirs but I can tell you for free that the Gunners of this season are trying their best but with City behind I feel they'll be pressured and some how lose a game, that pressure will be on City too and they'll lose some important games like Arsenal will. This season if Arsenal are winning the title I feel it will be base on goal difference not in point.

Arsenal over the seasons have a predictable habit of building a tempo at the start of any season and fumble afterwards when the league begin to heat up. The team's charisma can't endure for too long, even at first position, it's more like they've lost the position already. When Arteta had the opportunity to gap every other team with point, he neglected the need to hold a strong playing force never to stop at anything else other than winning. Now it seems like their weak point has been discovered, even the least team pressure them, nobody knows what the future holds for them with Everton today, but I wish them luck.

I agree on what you said, every teams in the EPL are like rivals for the Gunners even the least Wolves are putting every effort to bring them down and going to the home of Everton who are planning on making their fans feel at home was very hard for Arsenal if not for that penalty I don't see any goal coming out in that encounter. Pickford was like a brick wall that prevented every opportunity the Gunners had from finding the net, it surprises me to always see Arsenal struggle against smaller side even when they're not chasing anything, like them at 3rd position you'd see them struggling to get a goal, is too bad for a team that's suppose to see many of their remaining games as a walk over managing to defend other than pushing hard to get goals. Arteta need to work on how to always make opposition fall back and be more dominating in every encounter and also the manager need to make the team play more like they have an attacker if not Viktor Gyökeres won't shine in that squad.

[Oluwa-btc]

Gyokores took the penalty with a lot of intention, even if Pickford had had a hand to it, he would not have been able to stop the ball from entering the goal. Some Arsenal supporters would have been expecting Saka to take the kick as he normally does, but it was confident for Gyokores to take it. It was not a goal from Open Play, but it was an opportunity to hit the net and get some confidence from it.

Arsenal did not use Eze today, I think they are resting him for the EFL game against Crystal Palace this coming week.

I was happy he took the spot kick yesterday, he needs to start scoring goals for Arsenal because that was the honest reason why he was brought in. That one goal wasn't enough in my opinion. Gyökeres have struggled with scoring goals, I get why he was allowed to take the penalty kick. Resting important players is the reason why they have squad depth where you can start important set of players and have a capable back up. Crystal Palace have just lost their Premier League fixture after playing a hard draw game during midweek in the conference league competition.

But with the Premier League, their chances is highly threatened.

I see Arsenal's overall performance is the same but in the Champions League match they have not met a strong opponent in their last match, and indeed Arsenal's performance is clearly looking very down at the moment but a win against Everton is very important regardless of the team's condition but I believe this win will allow Arteta to re-increase the confidence of Arsenal players even though Arsenal only won by 1 goal and that goal was from the penalty spot.

In another match, I was impressed with Chelsea. They managed to come back and equalize after being 2 goals down at halftime. However, they managed to score two goals in the second half to level the score.
This indicates Chelsea's strength, but they often drop important points. If they can maintain their consistent performance, Chelsea could be in a strong title race this season.

They now have 39 points and now back at the top of the table again, this team are indeed the best in the premier league currently...I was expecting them score more goals but unfortunately they couldn't but it is still a relief that they are back to the top of the board...Manchester are still few points away and they are the only threat to arsenal currently, if they lose any game they would be replaced

Seriously I expected many goals from Arsenal in the match, I never expected Arsenal to score just a goal in the match, but it’s surprising how everything ended as 0-1. I notice that Arsenal are now finding it difficult to score many in goals matches now, they not scoring many goals like before. Arsenal completely dominated the match in the first half, Everton had 0 shots in the match.

It’s a good one they were able to get a win in the match, that’s what everyone is after, but Arsenal should just try and score  goals in their matches, having just a goal difference in matches doesn’t really make sense because anything can happen before the match ends, and any mistake from Arsenal now, Manchester city will be taking the first position from them.

[Jostern]

Not great from us, having to hang on for the win against 9 men but a win is a win. We are slowly creeping up the table and into the CL qualification places. The title is long gone, I am not not even getting involved in discussing that with regards to my team this season. That is an Arsenal and Man City conversation.

Aston Villa vs Man Utd should be a good watch for the neutrals tomorrow. I will definitely take some time to watch that one, a draw would suit me

The game was full of chaos and the intensity in the game was very high after Tottenham got the first Red card and their fans was actually pushing them in the game, but when you look at the game you will understand that Tottenham was more motivated when Richarlison came on in the game, he changed the game and also when Brenan Johnson came into the game he was also quite motivated and the fans was pushing them all in the game but unfortunately for them Liverpool have to defend and work hard of the three points, sometimes you might not play well to win games like this.

Aston Villa is going to be an interesting game and Manchester United are also going to also play hard in this game, but I believe is going to be an interesting game for us neutral’s, especially a high entertaining game, it will be enjoyed with some popcorn and drinks.
