Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Sexylizzy2813]

Believe this at your own expense, for someone who has outrightly rejected the big guns Real Madrid he’s obviously joking or messing with fans. Erling Haaland is Blue through and through, he’s not leaving Manchester City anytime soon.
Manchester United had a good game, a lot credit could be given to the calmness of Michael Carrick, the stability he brings when he was playing if he could replicate that as a coach. Manchester United might be on their way back to form.

So you're saying he's giving them a false hope so they can think of splashing money on him and at the end he'll disappoint them and laugh at them? No I don't see it that way, for him to reject Madrid tells a lot about some of these players, he may move and at the same time may not, this is where we say "this is football anything can happen". He's trying to say Manchester United are a better side but the shame of losing without him scoring against the Red Devils made him to make UTD feel like they're on top of the World, is funny though. It was a bad day for Manchester City but I don't think he should have said that.
If you start praising Carrick I think he'd start messing up, not like him but the players will be playing well and losing games, for now we should watch how he enjoys the EPL games with a win. But winning against Pep will boost his morale and even see any opponents as Manchester City because winning against a team that have been causing problems for you as a player then is not easy, is like Carrick is the man for the job but other challenges are yet to come.

This might sound biased but I don't think that United can bring back that momentum they were on when they played City because that's the best quality I have seen from them this season. You should know that Arsenal is far better than City currently, and it wouldn't be easy for United to outplay them based on Arteta game tactics. I expect a draw in this game.

I also think that Arsenal is much stronger than Manchester City who don't forget that they are doing very well even if they are second in the league, this thing gives me a lot of doubts about the fact that they can actually recover Arsenal in the standings

I had high hopes that Mancester city would be able to win arsenal but after their loss to Mancester United I'm beginning to have doubts and question if they can really do that..Aston villa as well ended up disappointing yesterday as well, i don't think that these two teams are serious about chasing the title anymore..well, their upcoming matches would determine if they are still focused on winning the league title

Arsenal are better than Manchester City it can be seen from the results of the match and Arsenal lead the standings, we can conclude this easily, related to the match against Manchester United last against Manchester City I was very impressed with the match brought by Manchester United, they appeared different, the game relied on a very fast and accurate lower pass to make Manchester United much better and beautiful match, Carrick added a match that has long been missing in any league in my opinion, and when compared to Arsenal obviously Arsenal is better.

This expectations was same with a whole lot of persons out there who saw that game, Manchester City I believe did not expect it was going to even turn out this way for them, they got used to the average Manchester United in recent time and to think that they just changed their coach, it was supposed to be seen as a possible weakness but interesting how Manchester United found strength in that and did the almost unbelievable.

Personally, I hope Arsenal will continue their good performance this season. and to be honest, I even hope Arsenal can always be better than Man City. However, seeing Man City lose to Man Utd in a way that I think is not very good still disappoints me. i want all teams to play at their best and it’s always more exciting to see teams at their peak competing against each other on the field. 

Manchester city has lost to Manchester United. Next week, Arsenal will face Manchester United. I’m curious to see if Arsenal will suffer the same fate as Manchester city but I don’t think so.

Having seen the disappointing performances of all three teams, I feel that skill is not enough to win. You have to be lucky to win. Arsenal were more likely to win in every review but the match ended in a draw. Nottingham played much better than expected. Apparently Manchester City were more likely to win in the statistics of the matches this season but lost 2-0 to Manchester United. I almost certainly predicted that Aston Villa would win against a weak Everton. Aston Villa will be lose which probably no one could have imagined. You can't give a fair mark to a team based on the result of a single match. Of the three teams at the top of the list of likely teams to win the trophy, any one of them is more likely to win the trophy.

The top 3 teams in the table have lost points. City and Aston Villa have lost and Arsenal have shared the points. So there has been no significant change in the points table.
City can still occupy the top spot of the table. But their performance is very inconsistent. They have won only one of their last 5 matches. This year's Premier League teams are not able to perform well consistently. Almost every team's performance is inconsistent. Arsenal is somewhat in the safe zone, but if they do not play well consistently, they will lose the top spot.

[Majestic-milf]

Aston Villa and City gave Arsenal a gift this round. I could never have expected both of these teams to lose their matches. I thought City would score at least a couple of goals against Manchester United and that would definitely be enough to win. It turned out City could not score even one goal. Aston Villa also lost at home to Everton. If I am not mistaken, this is actually their first home defeat this season. But I watched the whole match and I can say I really liked the way Everton played. They met Aston Villa already in the middle of the pitch and did not sit deep near their own goal. Overall, it was a very, very good performance, and I would say Everton deserved to win this match.

Yeah, you have a point but at the same time it's not always that the gunner would be relying on other teams to their work for them. I want a situation where Arsenal must have been winning their games so that even when they meet City for the return leg, it won't be a case of hoping that City doesn't win, but rather if Man City does win it wouldn't make any difference because the gap would be so much and if so happens that Arteta's boys win the game, it would further boost them.
 All eyes are really on Arsenal winning the trophy and it will be a big disappoinment if they get this far and end up bottling it.

I was somehow disappointed at Manchester city and Aston villa because where Manchester city is and the point they have  all they need should be winning and not this losing to Manchester united though there match can be very unpredictable at times and I never believed for sure that Manchester would win them but you are still correct Manchester city might win Arsenal because losing against Manchester united doesn't mean they are not good or they can't win arsenal, what happened was just football.

-.-
Next week will be much more interesting because Arsenal will face Man United and Arteta needs to be careful if he doesn't want to lose points like Man City because the morale of Man United players will definitely be quite high after successfully beating Man City so they are ambitious to beat Arsenal again next week.

Arsenal need to be careful in that game because right now Manchester united are quite positive after their win against manchester city, it can give them a boost of confidence and positive momentum which can make them able to hold Arsenal at their home. Manchester united will probably play less openly and tend to be defensive, and if Arsenal are not able to make an effective strategy then they will most likely be difficult to score goals, and it will make their position increasingly threatened at the top of the standings.

I think you also need to include Liverpool here because they also dropped points and shared points with Burnley, almost all the top teams in the standings lost their points from the three points they had to collect, City is indeed in a bad state at the moment, I thought previously Aston Villa could get into second place but they also lost to Everton, all these top matches were unpredictable, my bets all failed, this is what being in a very competitive league is like, they don't have inconsistent performance but other teams are also keeping up with the top teams.

Arsenal will be under the pressure to try to win that game and take all points because they have dropped four points in their last two Premier League games and they cannot afford to keep dropping more points considering that they need to be able to maintain the lead they have on the Premier League table after failing twice to extend it to considerable distance away from Manchester City and Aston Villa who are just behind. Also would have played Inter Milan in the Champions League already so there will be no need resting major players as maybe Arteta would have thought against Nottingham Forest.

All the top fourth standings teams this week can't get full three points from Manchester City and Aston Villa got loss then have Liverpool and Arsenal sharing one points with their opponent teams after playing draw. Bad result of the big four standings team this week actually advantage for Arsenal still on the top not any pressure yet from Manchester City or Aston Villa.
Still being competitive for Premier League awhile because the big four teams failure get three points this week and has not many points gap at position standings, how possibility upcoming match will the big four team get loss three points and Arsenal must be careful have to face Manchester United next week.

I really surprised when top 3 in the Premier League lost there games last weekend and that make the table balance again, Arsenal still have a journey to go because there next game is against Manchester United and that will be a daby game, Manchester United lose there first game against Arsenal and they will do there best to revenge and achieve the three point since they are in good shap currently and they can still defeat Arsenal if they can play well the way they perform against Manchester City. And if Arsenal lose there games and Manchester City win there next game they will get more hope to chase the league title. Let see how the week will be after the Champions League they will play there league games and we will see who will get the chance to achieve the there point Manchester United or Arsenal.

Yes, that's right, I'm more interested in how yesterday's match against Manchester City was in the return show at the Manchester United match, even though Arsenal was far better but yesterday's match was able to beat City, it makes me think repeatedly every time about the chances of this match, and of course Arsenal needs to be careful with Manchester United in the hands of Carrick, we see how consistent Manchester United's playing style like this can be maintained or not.

[$weetne$$]

Arsenal need to be careful in that game because right now Manchester united are quite positive after their win against manchester city, it can give them a boost of confidence and positive momentum which can make them able to hold Arsenal at their home. Manchester united will probably play less openly and tend to be defensive, and if Arsenal are not able to make an effective strategy then they will most likely be difficult to score goals, and it will make their position increasingly threatened at the top of the standings.

You are correct, Manchester United is on another level of confidence now seeing  the level of performance  against the informed Manchester City.  I really do love the fact that they were very much able to win Manchester City in a flawless victory, this will give them an edge of sending a message across to other teams about  the possible might of the team currently.  Arsenal needs to up their game even when they know Manchester United has not really been an issue for them recently but things does changes in a day so they should be mindful.

[whiteblue]

Hopefully that hope can be achieved very well this season, however Arsenal has been fasting for a long time for a prestigious trophy, this time they might be able to get the whole league which they have never imagined before, but if it is really capable as you said it will be a very valuable history in the world of Arsenal football, there is little doubt in me that they are able to balance stamina and also energy in every match in different leagues, not only that, they need a lot of additional strength and good strategy on the field to be able to win every match.

I also hope Arsenal would win the trophy this time after so many years of trying without any reward or something to show for it.
I know both the players and managers including fans are playing that Manchester City would not take what belongs to them this time around. Let them continue to strive playing to their best and the victory will surely come for Arsenal.

Arsenal has clearly shown their potential to be the Premier League champions this season, look at how Manchester City was beaten so well by Manchester United, this shows that Manchester City is not good, 3-0 was a conquest and a revenge event for United against City, and seeing the same thing happen to Aston Villa who lost against the Everton team is an extraordinary advantage behind the dismal results obtained by Arsenal.

[Btcdeybodi]

Personally, I hope Arsenal will continue their good performance this season. and to be honest, I even hope Arsenal can always be better than Man City. However, seeing Man City lose to Man Utd in a way that I think is not very good still disappoints me. i want all teams to play at their best and it’s always more exciting to see teams at their peak competing against each other on the field. 

I don't know what went wrong for Manchester City because as much as can remember, they were very up and doing even got to a time when they were just only 2 points behind Arsenal but suddenly they played 3 consecutive draws and lost to Manchester United last week which made them lost many points, if they had won their last 4 games they would have even been topping the table because they lost about 9 points in their last 4 premier league games.

Manchester city has lost to Manchester United. Next week, Arsenal will face Manchester United. I’m curious to see if Arsenal will suffer the same fate as Manchester city but I don’t think so.

With the kind of strength that Manchester United displayed against Manchester City, if they use same energy against Arsenal that means it won't be an easy match. Bryan Mbeumo is back from the AFCON games so there is a lot of energy in Manchester United squad so they should be able to retaliate the 1:0 defeat they suffered to Arsenal when they met in their first leg at Old Trafford.

I had high hopes that Mancester city would be able to win arsenal but after their loss to Mancester United I'm beginning to have doubts and question if they can really do that..Aston villa as well ended up disappointing yesterday as well, i don't think that these two teams are serious about chasing the title anymore..well, their upcoming matches would determine if they are still focused on winning the league title

Every game has its own story, that's not to say that if they lost to Manchester United, they will definitely make a bad impression on Arsenal.
I really don't see it that way, every game starts and ends in those 90 minutes, what happened in this one more one has to understand, it certainly negatively affects morale, but that doesn't mean they will leave the green light for Arsenal to do what they want, I really don't think so.

[colinistheman]

Arsenal are better than Manchester City it can be seen from the results of the match and Arsenal lead the standings, we can conclude this easily, related to the match against Manchester United last against Manchester City I was very impressed with the match brought by Manchester United, they appeared different, the game relied on a very fast and accurate lower pass to make Manchester United much better and beautiful match, Carrick added a match that has long been missing in any league in my opinion, and when compared to Arsenal obviously Arsenal is better.

Arsenal have a decent squad. And the bonding between the players is also strong. So their overall performance is very stable. And they have been able to perform well on every platform consistently.

Still, it will not be easy to win against Manchester United. After the victory against City, Manchester United players will be confident. And they will try their best to win against Arsenal as well. The match will be competitive. But Arsenal's past record against United is very good. Arsenal has won three of the last 5 head-to-head matches and lost one.
