Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

 Man UTD have lost against a 10 man Newcastle, this is the second time they are losing against a team that is a man down and now Newcastle have managed to still win the game, making it 6 years since Man UTD last won at St James' Park. A beautiful game of football from the both sides and it's something worthy of note that Newcastle never gave up, their tenacity was top notch.
The way I see it, Man UTD can either fight back to retain their spot in the top four or begin losing focus and losing out.

I saw how Arsenal struggled against Chelsea so I wasn’t really expecting much goals from this match. I’m not really concerned about the scoresheet, all that matters is the three points and Arsenal have that. They just have to keep momentum and beat Manchester City next to extend their lead to 10 points gap.

[Agbamoni]

What an exciting game of football. 10 men Newcastle defeated 11 men Manchester United at Sain James Park. If you didn't watch this gam,e you missed a lot.
Arsenal scored an early goal in the 9th minute, as they held on to the lead till full time. Arsenal's defense was solid today, and David Raya was exceptional.
Chelsea had a beautiful game, with Jao Pedro scoring his first every hatrick for Chelsea in the Premier League, what an exciting day for him.
Lastly, Nottingham Forest surprisingly drew with Manchester City at the Etihad. City is 7 points below Arsenal at the top of the table with a game left to play.

I saw a few pages back many underestimated Chelsea in their away game against Villa. yet, happy to see they're proving you guys are wrong. They dominated the game, attack and defense. They have also composure with good team work.
I like the way they played the game. There's nothing to complain even after they put uncle Tosin in. They're still not losing the rythm. They reignite their chance to qualify for the UCL next season.

The game was too easy for Chelsea for sure. I never expected Villa went down this far. They went from a title contender to the mediocre team. Emery seems get sacked if Villa fail to qualify for UCL. 

But they still suffer from inconsistency. I can understand why many here thought that it is at least a close game and not 1:4. Chelsea couldn't win against Burnley and Leeds at Stamford Bridge in the last three weeks. That they are now suddenly able to have their highest win away from home against Aston Villa, which is one of the stronger home teams, is understandable.

Aston Villa has been playing so well and their home games were their safe haven in many games. I think what is fair to say is that hardly anyone would think it is smart to bet on a -2 handicap win for Chelsea in this game. Aston Villa was as weak as they haven't been for a long time.

Newcastle struggled a lot and now they are stopping Manchester United, which has been in great shape. These kinds of surprises happen a lot in the EPL.

[Woodie]

Midweek games have so much potential to disappoint and today we saw both Manchester clubs disappoint.. United failed to beat 10 man Newcastle while Citeh failed to hold onto the lead that came in the first half.. and to be fair with Citeh these Forest boys are desperate and they wouldn't settle for a relegation slot when a point could make a big difference..

It is too easy for them to start backing out and be relentless in their journey for the top four positions on the premier league table. Every team faces defeat because even Arsenal who are on top of the table faced defeat on their way to this top. It was a great game and you cannot always have it all and win it all the time. I love the way the both team played, but in the end, it is always one team that gets to prevail and win the game which today the luck was not on Manchester United but on Newcastle despite the big hopes on them. This is not the end, they can try better in their coming premier league game to solidify their position on the standings more.

It looks like this match will end in a draw considering that both teams don't want to lose and now the score is 2-2 in the last minute and indeed this match is very difficult for both of them. I know that maybe City won't be able to score another goal, Nottingham Forest is also quite good in this match, and this result is enough to calm Arsenal who are at the top, even though the result of their match is not much different now their advantage is against Brighton.

The draw today for Manchester City has just given some hope more to Arsenal who are on top of the table and with a little close point gap between them and Manchester City. This was not the win that Manchester City expected, they never saw this coming and I’ll say it is a big surprise for them. Arsenal are now even more joyous for this draw tonight, I hope they’ll be able to maintain this advantage more, because they’ll need it more than before as the league games are getting close to the end.

It's really unbelievable that Manchester United lost to Newcastle even when they had an advantage after Newcastle lost a player due to red card. When Newcastle scored first after they got a red card that was when i felt that Manchester United will find it difficult to win them in the second half because despite that Newcastle had a red card, they still managed to give their best and were making dangerous attacks on Manchester United. Michael Carrick's unbeaten run since he became Manchester United coach has been stopped by Newcastle, though they still remain in the 3rd position since Aston Villa lost their match to Chelsea by 1:4.

[Oluwa-btc]

I don't know if its too early to congratulate Arsenal already but I'm tempted to because its obvious that the league is theirs this season. They tried very well to defeat stubborn Brighton in their home and are also lucky to see Manchester City playing draw with Nottingham Forest. I was thinking that City would maintain their first half win but it was obvious that Nottingham Forest came to the match to win and not even get the draw they settle for.

It is too early but 7 points clear?! That is a massive one when it matters. Thanks to Nottingham Forest escaping relegation and trying to gain points. Those two goals made them sit ahead of Westham United.
The funny thing is that Manchester City should still be up against West Ham United and there's every possibility that, they attempt to escape relegation by doing all they can to hurt Manchester city when they host them at home.

[AYOBA]

Arsenal match has been very boring as they could only score one goal, i hope they don't get a shocking equalizer before full time.

One is also not easy to get they really try since their able to secure a three points, and that’s why I didn’t see it as boring match. A great performance from Saka that allowed Arsenal to got a seven points clear all this while the guy wing ass very cool, but from his today performance in that game it prove that he has back again Arsenal move.

Manchester City has also been very weak against Nottingham Forest because i don't understand why they can't maintain a lead as Nottingham Forest keeps equalizing their goal each time they score and they are currently playing 2:2 and the match is in the ending minutes. If they end in a draw or lose to Nottingham Forest they might be giving Arsenal more edge to have a big gap.

Honestly if they tell me that the match between Manchester City and Nottingham forest is going to ended in a draw I will not believe when I saw Manchester City open a early goal I was thinking that they can maintain their lead, but with the much efforts of Nottingham they where ably to equalized the two goals back.

The two Manchester teams just disappointed everyone tonight and it is really painful that none of them could win their respective matches but the most painful match is Newcastle versus Manchester United. How did an in-form Manchester United lost against a 10-man Newcastle, that's actually the shocker of the night because who could have believed that Manchester United will lose such a match. Football is really unpredictable if not tell me how Manchester United defeated big teams like Arsenal and Manchester City, just for them to lose to Newcastle today. Well, they tried because i think this is their first loss since the arrival of Carrick.

[Miles2006]

The funniest highlight today was Arsenal trying to maintain three points with just one goal, like how and why will the team make such funny mistake. I watched the match and observed how every player turned to defend, another mistake because this pattern has been Arsenal strategy for long both last season and they didn’t go anywhere far with such strategy. I was expecting something positive from the gunners as usual and they delivered but, the team should not try something like this again.
Manchester United started with a full speed, still they maintained same pressure level afterwards Newcastle also engaged Manchester United surprisingly I almost doubted the red card situation, at the end of the day the main goal is the three points making Aston Villa and Manchester United to stay in same position aside goal difference.

[EFS]

As long as the match stayed at 1-0, it felt like Brighton would score and everything would fall apart but Arsenal defended really well. Scoring early and protecting the lead for more than 80 minutes in away game isn't easy. On top of that, with Manchester City's surprising loss of points, Arsenal are now in a much more comfortable position at the top. Just think about what was being said after the Wolves match and where we are now. That's football, everything can change every week.

Yeah. This is another interesting result from my team, all I want is the 3 points which they did, and I’m happy seeing this result. Arsenal still have other important matches coming, they need to keep this consistency to continue securing there points. Right now, they are ahead of Manchester city with 7 points, and I’m still looking for more wins from Arsenal. Which I believe they will defining do everything to secure, they competitor is becoming more interesting.

Chelsea have been outstanding in their games, this is the scene and performance the fans loved to watch. Chelsea have been spectacular in this game. Liam Rosenior have proven again that he's the man for the job.

Brooo, do you see the incredible performance of Joao Pedro? He's an attacker that the club needs at the moment and he didn't relent when he spot opportunities to score goals. Tonight he banged an hattrick, this is to show you how spectacular the Brazilian have been in the English premier league this season. I'm waiting to see Chelsea performance against Paris Saint German in the UEFEA Champions League.

I don't know man. I do want Arsenal to win the EPL title this season after having it slip through their fingers at the tail end of the past several seasons. I think it's still quite early to call it for Arsenal to win the title. They had a good game against Brighton. I was quite surprised as the will Brighton mustered up in a bid to score and hopefully win. But Arsenal were quite lucky as they had an early goal and went ahead to defend it till the very end of the game.
They seem to have a little breathing space as Man city had a draw in their game with Nottingham forest. But that shouldn't be any consolation as while the difference in points may have increased a little bit, they still need to be focused and aim for wins in their remaining games of the season.

Arsenal got lucky in this round, scoring that early goal from a deflected shot from Saka and as we’ve always know them to be in defense, they were able to hold it down to the final whistle.
It was another struggling game for them and Brighton Hove Albion played with a good enough intensity but sadly couldn’t manage a goal to draw Arsenal, neither was Arsenal able to fine goal scoring opportunities to increase their lead.
A slight victory but, one that would see them to some point gaps ahead of Manchester City that drew today.

You really saw how slow they were in this game against Brighton, Chelsea really drilled the strength out of Arsenal and I think that was why they didn't show much energy tonight. The 3pt is the most important thing in that game especially to Arteta because if the Gunners had played a draw while City couldn't win their game it would have been a disappointing game for Arsenal and opposition fans will be blasting Arsenal that they'll lose the league title, but my question is why is it that Arsenal have more enemies than every other clubs in the EPL?

Arsenal are very lucky to have won this game, the game was end to end performance, I have been watching how Arsenal are playing in recent games there is absolutely no urgency in the Arsenal team, they seems to be grinding their results in a very difficult way, and that would obviously make them drop points very very soon when a team are struggling to win games, soon before you know it there luck runs out and they will eventually start dropping points again, Arsenal won the game but it was a bad performance from Arsenal, like always Arsenal isn’t an exciting team to watch, the better team lost, but like they always say it doesn’t matter when you take the 3 points in a difficult situation.

[Sammye3]

Manchester United's eight game unbeaten run has finally come to an end with a disappointing 2-1 loss to Newcastle United with a red card advantage. The last time this happened was against Everton, where the Reds lost 1-0 after a red card awarded in their favor.

It is truly disappointing that amidst a good run after Michael Carrick's appointment,  the first loss was playing against a 10 man team. I really expected a win from United after the red card situation as it was an advantage to the away side but they failed to convert their chances and had to pay for it.

Midweek games have so much potential to disappoint and today we saw both Manchester clubs disappoint.. United failed to beat 10 man Newcastle while Citeh failed to hold onto the lead that came in the first half.. and to be fair with Citeh these Forest boys are desperate and they wouldn't settle for a relegation slot when a point could make a big difference..

It was a very disappointing night indeed for Manchester city, even though this wasn't the result that the fans were anticipating, but there never going to be a time when city were going to win all their remaining matches of the season. As disappointing as it is, there is still enough time left to make things right. Relegation threatened clubs are the most dangerous team to play at this stage of the season. Their determination is something you have to fear. Nottingham forest did absolutely well by getting a crucial point after seeing Westham harming Fulham at away. The battle for the drop is getting more intense.
