Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Jaweria parveen]

Brentford were in very  good form. In their last two matches they have beaten two strong  teams like aston villa and newcastle. These two were one of the strongest teams in the premier league. And as usual they played well against arsenal.

But arsenal's loss of points in this match is entirely their fault. Arsenal performed very badly. If Arsenal had played well, they could have won. Looking at arsenal's performance, I think they  would probably be happy  if they could have drawn the match.

Brentford players had a total of 11 shots, out of which 3 were on target. On the other hand, arsenal had only 7 shots. They managed to make only two on target  shots. It is not possible to call this a good performance.

Ouattara scored 1 goal against Aston Villa, which led to their victory and Schade was red carded. In his next game, Newcastle scored 3 goals. Janelt, Thiago, Ouattara scored with struggle and Victory here too. Today was also a game against Arsenal in which both draw 1-1, while Arsenal should have victory, but Brentford's struggle did not let this game go. It was not like that in this game, Arsenal's player Madueke scored in the 61 minute and after that Brentford's player scored. After that, due to the harshness on each other, there was no goal and the game ended in a draw. Ouattara has scored in 2 games, if he had scored against Arsenal, they could have victory.

Not likely. Arsenal’s fixtures are more harder than Manchester City’s, plus they also have to play City at the Etihad.  That’s 3 points lost already. Arsenal also has Tottenham at home. Tottenham may be shit but they play their best when they are up against Arsenal. Chelsea are also not easy opponents, they are on a good run and may possibly take a point from that game.

In as much as Arsenal's fixtures seem to be more tedious than that of Manchester City, I still do not think it is an advantage to Manchester city yet considering how inconsistent and unstable Manchester city could be sometimes, there chances that even Manchester city could still drop some points too because they would also face some of these worrisome teams that are capable of deducting city's points before the end of the season.

Liverpool have not been that impressive this season, they won this same league comfortably last season and even if they will not win it this season, every fan expected them to at least do better than what they are currently doing now. Because to me, the way they are playing, you won't believe they were the same team that won this same league convincingly last season. I believe with Liverpool's squad they have the potential of winning this league but I don't see them winning this league at all, they just need to do better.

Liverpool doesn't look like the EPL defending champion this season. They've allow themselves been used and defeated in all categories. Arne Slot is still doing exactly what at Anfield? He exhibited signs of incompetent performance and he's absolutely heading to nowhere. Liverpool have suffer major defeats and this is absolutely not the Liverpool we watch previous season.

Where is that spark in Liverpool this season? They've been unfortunate couple up with inconsistent performance this season. Let's give them time and watch if they can qualify for the top four this season. Beating other oppositions for top four is definitely not the goal but they're left with no choice.

In the Premier League the club that won last season is not necessarily consistent in the following season and this is what Liverpool shows as proof that the EPL is very tight even unexpected teams can be a nightmare for the leading teams. Arne Slot has run out of ideas to fix what Liverpool should not show throughout this season. Nearly substandard performances, failed purchases, players who completely lost the vision of playing. To end this season Liverpool should at least be able to secure Europa League tickets rather than nothing.

[changaa]

Can't say much about this game but I know brentford would cause problems for arsenal to but can they get a win at home is something I’m not very sure about.

Every game is a match of its own, and every time Arsenal must give their all to win and maintain their top spot in the Premier League. Obviously, they have to do it this way, as true leaders do, thinking one game at a time without going too far. Every match in the EPL is tough.

[Oshio-man]

The odds convinced me that this was going to be draw when I saw Arsenal being given such an 2+ odds to defeat Brentford, After the game their point gap with with Manchester has fall back to being 4 points difference, things are getting more scary for Arsenal football club over this season's title race at the moment with the number of points left for City to actually catch up with them.

Brentford performance is sometimes quite troublesome even before meeting Arsenal Brentford has defeated Newcastle and Aston Villa so it's no wonder that Brentford is able to hold a draw with Arsenal, from the beginning I also doubted Arsenal in this match because lately they started to lose their full strength and have lost several points which in the end narrowed the distance with the team below them, his position is increasingly threatened if they do not immediately maintain the performance to remain consistent maybe Arsenal can fail again to win the EPL title.

I noticed some move from some teams toward this premier League competition, and if care is not taking Arsenal will regret for making their performance to drop to some level they will not be able to win this title, Indeed Brentford really dominate in this match but Arsenal did what they know how to do best to first Brentford to scored goal but it was a surprise to many people in the second half to seen Brentford equalize the goal 1-1 to share point with Brentford, I still have confidence on Arsenal to win premier League title and EPL title because they have good strikers that is making the team to make progress to reach where they are now, one thing I noticed from this tournament is that if Arsenal miss this title it will not going to pass Manchester City because they are also maintaining a good position that will lead them to win this title or end up in second position.

[dollyamo]

it was a very disappointing performance from Arsenal, Arsenal are leading with 9 points before and now they are leading with just 4 points, i said it before that Manchester City will do everything to pressure Arsenal and stop them from winning the league title.

It's a strong team, not the best, it's playing well, it's dominating the Premier League but it still has a long way to go otherwise it would be very far from Manchester City
she's improving and the results are visible in my opinion, little by little she can easily become the best in the world

[Mayor of ogba]

Not likely. Arsenal’s fixtures are more harder than Manchester City’s, plus they also have to play City at the Etihad.  That’s 3 points lost already. Arsenal also has Tottenham at home. Tottenham may be shit but they play their best when they are up against Arsenal. Chelsea are also not easy opponents, they are on a good run and may possibly take a point from that game.

Arsenal will bottle this league again, they lack to play under pressure, 4 points ahead of Manchester City is not enough to win the league, they have been doing same thing for the past seasons and they haven't make any changes.

They have more tough opponents than Manchester City, and Manchester city has experience in play under pressure, they can manage it, they might not lose any matches again this season,but Arsenal will still draw more games and lose too, Arsenal will only fight for the top four and not the league again.

I used to be against people who normally say that Arsenal would bottle the league again this season but after yesterday's draw,i think I'm convinced that they might bottle it again this season. In the Premier League, there nothing like a small team anymore the team you underrate would surprise you when you least expect and that's why I so much love the Premier League. Anyways Arsenal has given their best, it's not easy to top the league for this long, however there's still hope if only they can win the remaining matches.

Arsenal was showing a strong signal that they wouldn't bottle the title as usual this season, but after yesterday's draw with Brentford, I am beginning to believe Arsenal would give Manchester City a chance to top the Premier League table. Every match in the Premier League is a big match, and for Arsenal to win the Premier League title, they must learn how to win against small teams. It's impossible for Arsenal to win all their remaining matches, so for them to be ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League table, they shouldn't first Manchester City to drop another points.

Arsenal's performance is a bit unstable now. They couldn't play well against Brentford in the last match either. We expected a better performance from Arsenal. If City can continue their winning streak now, they might be able to reduce the points gap with Arsenal. In the next four matches, Arsenal will face Wolves, Tottenham, Chelsea and Brighton. All three teams are very strong. And if they don't play well, Arsenal has a big chance of losing points in all three matches.

[banana33]

BTW, I predict their game against Brentford isn't going to be as close as what most users think ... The Bees are in a great form, but I have a feeling Arsenal might surprise a lot of us with a convincing win tonight, so I'm going with away win for them (over 2.5)

Your analysis is excellent, i must say very thorough and clear.
These days, injuries must be managed and factored into a team's management strategy.

They're no longer sporadic events, but a regular part of the season. It's no coincidence that the team has improved with the return of some key players.

[BlackBaron]

The Manchester City we see now is not the Manchester City we saw a few seasons ago, when they dominated the league, winning back-to-back titles and even winning the Champions League. They are currently rebuilding their squad, but it's not yet fully formed, so they can still be beaten by any team.

However, Arsenal must realize that their failures are not caused by other teams, but by themselves, who often slip up in crucial situations. If they lose today's match, they may experience the same failures as before, where they failed because of themselves.

Arsenal has been dealing with this near success syndrome for a long time but this season seems to be a little different because they are trying to be consistent and so far this is the best performance they have ever put in. Today won't be any different, even though  Brentford is a tough side especially due to the fact that they have home advantage but my bet is on Arsenal to win, they are aiming of the title.

And ultimately, they couldn't win the match after the hosts managed to hold them to a 1-1 draw. They came to win, but they were disappointed, and even more worrying was seeing their points gap with the second-placed team continue to close.

This is what I mean by their failure not being caused by other teams, but by their own inability to maximize every match they played, even when facing teams weaker than themselves. Because the challenge is when a weaker team faces a title contender, usually the motivation to thwart the title contender is very strong.

I also predict that Brentford will hold Arsenal to a draw in that match, because historically they are quite strong at home, especially in Arsenal's position coming with less than good performance and coupled with people's expectations being so high that they can win this match, it makes them unable to play better in that match --- and with Brentford playing so tightly, they don't allow Arsenal to build attacks, and that makes Arsenal only able to get 1 goal.

With their form like this, I don't think this will be a good time for Arsenal. They'll likely struggle in the upcoming matches.

I agree with you due to what happened to Manchester City at some time this season when they had many chances of closing gaps with Arsenal but instead they played draw in most of the matches and even lost some points so i believe that the downfall of Arsenal may not automatically mean that Manchester City will pick up the mantle from them. It's remaining 12 games to the end of the season, a lot of changes will be seen in the league table but thinking that Manchester City will outsmart Arsenal as they did in past seasons is what i think it's unlikely.

[SmartCharpa]

You could have pity for them and make way for a soft heart for the Red Devils, well that's one of the reasons why the banter need to continue. I wasn't expecting a draw because their confidence is on another level and playing a draw will definitely reduce their morela completely. The competition Manchester United are facing is 5x bigger than the smallest trophy in England, now they are trying to prove that they can go 5 games without losing or draw and they are also looking at the top 4, that spot need to be secured if not when they start dropping points like always it becomes hard to come back to this wonderful form.

Last season, Manchester United lost against this team playing at their stadium, I wasn’t surprised when they had a draw, despite with their current form. West Ham is one of the most stubborn teams at the bottom of the table, every team is having a difficult time playing against them since they appointed Nuno as their manager, they are three points behind Nottingham Forest, and I believe they will try their possible best to get out of the relegation zone in the remaining games.

However, Manchester United is under the new manager, and I believe that the draw will have no impact on their performance in the remaining the games. Micheal Carrick will continue to do his job as the manager to ensure they secure their position among the four teams qualifying for the next Champions League. I’m looking forward to the next game against Everton.

Arsenal has been doing not so well, IMO, they need to step up the fight, draw is not what they need now, as Man City continuously trail them. They should learn from the past, even as Guardiola understands the game more, yet Arteta is no more new to it as well. So, every game should be precious to Gunners, they are in the state of a must-win.

Manchester City is a great team, i have to say that they can start to be afraid even if Arsenal is still the team that has become the best in the league and i don't think they will let Manchester City put them under pressure even if let's remember that on paper they are much stronger and the points difference is not that much.

[JoyMarsha]

Brentford were in very  good form. In their last two matches they have beaten two strong  teams like aston villa and newcastle. These two were one of the strongest teams in the premier league. And as usual they played well against arsenal.

But arsenal's loss of points in this match is entirely their fault. Arsenal performed very badly. If Arsenal had played well, they could have won. Looking at arsenal's performance, I think they  would probably be happy  if they could have drawn the match.

Brentford players had a total of 11 shots, out of which 3 were on target. On the other hand, arsenal had only 7 shots. They managed to make only two on target  shots. It is not possible to call this a good performance.

Arsenal will be happy with the draw, but I don't think so. They will be angry that Manchester City is almost close to them in points(4 points) from the 7 points they had against them before. Already, there are 12 matches to play, and in one of the matches Arsenal will face off against Manchester City, and the chances of Manchester City stepping above Arsenal are there. I don't want it to happen, because it will be very disgraceful that Arsenal was denied the Premier League title for the 4th time

[Gost ms]

it was a very disappointing performance from Arsenal, Arsenal are leading with 9 points before and now they are leading with just 4 points, i said it before that Manchester City will do everything to pressure Arsenal and stop them from winning the league title.

Arsenal's performance in the last 5 matches has been very bad. If they had been able to win consistently during this time, then they would not have come under such pressure at this moment. There is still time for Arsenal to move forward a lot, because Manchester City has not yet been able to go to a consistent position and they are performing well but winning very little, they are drawing a lot of matches. Now if Arsenal can win the next few matches continuously, then maybe Manchester City or other teams will not be able to leave Arsenal behind this season.

Arsenal is just four points ahead Manchester City, which I think is a very big problem for Arsenal because in my opinion, it reduces Arsenal chances for winning English Premier League trophy. And there are tough matches ahead and both Arsenal and Manchester City haven't met yet. Arsenal need to tighten up their bet if they want to  lose another big opportunity of winning this premier league trophy again, because Manchester City has been inconsistent this season.

[cande86]

The match will soon start in the next hours. This is very important match for Arsenal to Win, so I’m not expecting anything bad from this club, I’m putting my expectations on winning not even a draw.

If they continue like this, Arsenal will surely win the championship, even if now the most difficult part of the championship begins and here we will see who is the strongest, certainly an important test that allows Arsenal to definitively test themselves, obviously this is something that must also happen in the Champions League.

[Mayor of ogba]

Do you guys want to revisit the poll?

The table isn’t looking great for the Gunners. Every Arsenal fan has been here before, and every time Manchester City have come on top. This could be another bottling season, what a rollercoaster ride of emotions it has been.

On the other hand when we think Arsenal can slip up then the same thing can happen to Manchester City right? let's wait and see how this drama ends.

Not likely. Arsenal’s fixtures are more harder than Manchester City’s, plus they also have to play City at the Etihad.  That’s 3 points lost already. Arsenal also has Tottenham at home. Tottenham may be shit but they play their best when they are up against Arsenal. Chelsea are also not easy opponents, they are on a good run and may possibly take a point from that game.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur match is a London derby, so Tottenham Hotspur is supposed to play their best so that they can win the London derby and put a smile on their fans faces, but I believe Arsenal is going to beat Tottenham Hotspur because Tottenham Hotspur is under performing at the moment, which will make it easier for Arsenal to beat Tottenham Hotspur. In the three teams you mentioned, I think Arsenal will probably drop points against Manchester City and Chelsea.
