Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Joeboy]

Manchester United, even if they were unable to manage the match and lost against Newcastle, can be proud of what they have done so far given how they started, so I have to say that by exposing myself a little I feel that this team will continue to climb the table despite there being some problems every now and then.

Sure you are right, Man United has really surprised everyone the way their gameplay took a new turn, especially under Michael Carrick and if a truth even against all odds they still seem to be a very great improvement, see how they have even managed to make it to even the third place and that's commendable even for them... They sure had possession advantage as well as the numerical advantage(after the red card against Ramsey), but still was unable to utilize it... Was is that they where so scared of losing their point and going down the table, that they weren't able to create chances for a goal? Well I hope to see a better gameplay against their next match with Aston Villa...

Just going through one of my social media apps and I stumbled on this and the funny thing is that, some people were seriously arguing that it's not a penalty let alone a red card, I paused for a minute, looked at the image critically to be sure it's the same image that's been argued about. Seriously? How on earth is this a penalty? You're pulling a player that about to score a goal on the arm as if it's America football you guys are playing and you expect the referee to fold his hands and watch. How can this even be put up for arguments, the defender was stupid enough not to realise that he wasn't supposed to foul him simply because his the last man and by the rules, that's a straight red card. These guys just keep on doing dumb things every match day.

In a situation like this it's mainly done in the last few minutes, but the time was just on the 30th minute, and that was totally unnecessary, even if he scored there is still time to try and equalise with your full team, but still yet impulse made him react in such manner,

Football isn't just about playing with legs, you also play with brains as well, before taking any action that will cost you a card calculate the conditions you find your self first.

Not that they will read this post but I hope coaches put these in their coaching as well

Their defensive strategy was the main reason for the defeat. Manchester United did not want to lose points and they were under pressure to win because the current time is very important for them. They have reached the third position in the table from a bad position and they are under pressure to play better. Manchester United may have thought that they could at least add a point if they could draw but the result went against them towards the end of the match.
The defeat against Newcastle was an unexpected blow that they might not have expected.

The method used in that match resulted in their first defeat since Michael Carrick took charge. Therefore I think it's understandable for Manchester United to lose that match even though they had hope of achieving a maximum result. Moreover as the home team a player received a card at the end of the first half but the Manchester United players couldn't do anything. However their mistakes in playing the game increased the tempo of the game making them defensive. This is likely because the home team despite being outnumbered continued to attack Manchester United leading them to defend in the second half ultimately resulting in their first defeat at the hands of their legend Michael Carrick.

I had bet on Tottenham winning but it all failed. I find this red card very mysterious to me.

In the 29th week, Tottenham suffered a heavy defeat with a score of 1-3 against Crystal Palace. This condition is very bad; this season they are no longer competing in the top 5 but are struggling to stay away from the relegation zone. Igor Tudor, the new coach, has not been able to make drastic changes. Tottenham seems to have lost their winning spirit. The departures of Kane and Soon seem to be a strong reason for their very poor performance. Tottenham has not won in 11 matches, specifically since December 29 of last year. Tottenham is only one point behind West Ham United, who are in 18th place.

The points City lost yesterday were literally worth their weight in gold, as the closer to the tournament's finish, the more valuable each point becomes. The bookmakers currently see the race as follows:

Arsenal - 1.21

City - 4.50

That is, in fact, the title is in Arsenal’s hands and they can only stop it themselves. I think Pep understands this too, and most likely at this point the main priority will be the Champions League, where City will have a very inconvenient opponent in the form of Real Madrid.

i haven't checked the odds yet but I'm sure City is a popular bet. however, since they've bottled it before even when playing much better football, many people are underestimating their chances this time around regardless of their position at the top.

What do you mean you didn't check the odds? You can't see them in my post, or do you not trust me and think I made them up?  
I don't know how popular betting on City is now, but I see that the volume of bets on who will become champion is significant - 280 million https://polymarket.com/ru/event/english-premier-league-winner
By the way, it's funny that there's arbitrage between the odds of traditional bookmakers and the polymarket – you're guaranteed to win a little money if you bet on both outcomes.

i think I was misunderstood because of my bad English I meant that I hadn't checked the betting odds (before you posted them). i do think Arsenal will be champions but I wouldn't tie up my money for weeks just for 1.21 odds. It’s just not worth it.

The red card was not mysterious  but the foul was unnrcessary, because its too early in the game for such foul. Its just 30 minutes into the game and i dont know what the defender was thinking for him to commit such foul.  I thibk Tottenham was playing okay until the foul and everything changed. I really dont know if this players should be regarded as professional, because i dont expect that from him. He cost his team the game and that all on him.

As the host, brighton certainly tried hard to win, but unfortunately, they failed to beat Arsenal. Arsenal's strong defense made it difficult for Brighton players to capitalize on opportunities when the ball was in Arsenal's half. When I bet, I was a little nervous because Brighton always attacked, but fortunately, Arsenal's players were able to overcome it

In this match, fortunately, I bet on arsenal to win, and in the end, I won. Do you feel the same? Now, arsenal can breathe a sigh of relief after beating Brighton and getting 3 points.

Arsenal's performance in this match was quite good and they make it posiible with their strong squad. And Brighton fails to manage the match and make a win in their favour in the home ground. And this is a great disappointment for the Brighton fans. But Arsenal fans are very pleased with the result of this match. And I think there are many people who bet on Arsenal and they are very lucky to win this bet. But Arsenal is a very capable team and their dedications are very clear always. They just need to maintain their performance of being good and being consistent. Because consistency is the thing with that anyone can chase the success they dreamed for or desire for. And I think Arsenal is continously on their way to improve their capabilities and strengthen their squad.

Tottenham are playing such bad football. It's like they're fighting to get relegated.
Yesterday, Crystal Palace started the match so effectively that goalkeeper Vicario was the one keeping Tottenham afloat with his saves.
Tottenham had one chance and scored, but then Crystal Palace regained control of the game.
Although the red card and penalty situation changed the course of the match, Crystal Palace would have won even if it had been 11 against 11.

Next week they have Liverpool, and Tottenham will be in the relegation zone. This year will be difficult for Tottenham, and it seems they will be relegated at the end of the season.
Pedro Forro's actions after being substituted in the 74th minute reveal the team's situation.

Tottenham are in the worst form of the premier league teams. They have  probably not won in 10+ matches in a row. And the team has  lost five matches in a row. No other team in the premier league has performed so  badly.

Despite playing at home against crystal palace, they lost badly. I am not happy with their overall  performance at all. They conceded  3 goals in the first half and went behind. Tottenham is a renowned team in the premier league. But now if their bad performance continues, they have a big chance of falling into the relegation zone.

[Bitcoin_people]

Arsenal are currently 7 points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the EPL points table. If Manchester City had collected their full points against Forest, they would have certainly moved ahead and reduced the gap with Arsenal. But due to the draw in the match, the two teams shared the points and this created a challenging situation for Manchester City. Currently, the 7-point gap is too high and it will not be easy to catch Arsenal in the points table at this time as the City team will have to stay close to Arsenal to win the trophy. However, Manchester City have competed well but they have not yet become the favorites, they must play more strongly to become a strong enough competitor. If the competition between Manchester City and Arsenal lasts until the end of the season, it will definitely be much more interesting.

It's a big concern to EPL lovers to see how weak Tottenham is over the past season till now. I thought that changing the coach will make a difference but I was wrong because things are still the same. They need to fight their way from being relegated.

Right bro. There was no need for such poor tackling in the first half. Tottenham's players should have  performed more carefully. But they played  like fools. And  suffered another defeat. I was happy after tottenham scored the first goal of the match. I thought they could score points in the match. But in the 40th minut e, crystal palace equalized the match. And they managed to take a 3-1 lead in the first half. Palace scored two goals in  extra time in the first half.

Unlike previous seasons, Tottenham now seem to be  playing not for glory, but simply to fulfil their obligations. It is quite obvious that they lack the confidence and furthermore, there is no one who can motivate them. The coach has  been replaced, but it still doesn't seem to be a solution to their poor performance. I even think that if Tottenham continues like this, Igor Tudor might  get sacked. Tottenham only has 29 points, and they are only 1 point ahead of Nottingham and West Ham, who are ranked 17th and 18th. Which means Tottenham could potentially  find themselves in the relegation zone if they do not quickly overcome their slump.

yeah, these things are totally useless. Clearly, when you suffer or create a foul like that, there will always be consequences. i don't know what happened to him. He's totally out of his mind. Committing a foul like that isn't normal, and in fact he'll pay the consequences. In fact, he's already paid them.

At this point I think that Manchester city might have a difficult time to catch up with arsenal, the previous match they had settled the competition between. Not being able to win Nottingham forest was totally unexpected. It is now clear that arsenal has the best squad in the premier league this season and are qualified to win the title.

If I was told that Tottenham will not make it to top four in premier league this season I will not believe, look at the signings they made before the season start, they sign many top players from different teams, even Kudus and Xavi Simon and Gallagher from Atletico Madrid, these players are good to help the team to make it to top four in the league, Tottenham is now about to get relegated, to be it looks surprise because no one saw it coming and with the remaining games they have remaining they are going to be relegated.

Tottenham have sacked manny coaches since last two seasons and it looks like karma is coming for them for sacking some coaches who should have been given more chance to prove themselves, Tottenham have 8 games to escape from relegation and if they failed to win those games they will definitely be relegated because they have not win any games in their last eleven games, to be honest Tottenham are in serious trouble.

Michael Carrick is not doing a bad job, in fact he is going straight on his way which is certainly not easy, now Manchester United defended in the second half but it doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me, they must understand that there will also be this type of matches which will certainly be difficult.

Yes they are, and its just too bad for them. A team like Tottenham Hotspur, one of the Warriors on England? Oh, how have the mighty fallen? I don't really know what could be the problem with that club. Could it be the players, am not sure since they have good numbers of good players. Could it be coaches? They have sacked and re-sacked, yet, nothing is changing. Could it be the club board,
?, what could be the problem? It will be very bad if they are relegated. But with Tye way things are going, if they don't sit up, they will go more down and that's automatic relegation for them. Premier league has just lost one big club.

Manchester City's results this week have given Arsenal some momentum, although I can't say for sure that Arsenal will be able to maintain their current point gap. There are still enough games left this season for the situation to change, so it's difficult to predict what will happen.

It would have been Manchester City to take over the position of Arsenal if they were striving their performance but instead they are on and off but Arsenal has been maintaining their performance from the beginning though they loss but we can't compare it with Man City. Then another team if possible as you said can take over is the Manchester United because they were at the bottom of the table but now they are at the top 3. If not the recent loss, I would have predicted for them. As you said, let's wait to the end. Who will win.

Manchester City have tried their best this season and I'm happy with their performance thus far. Even though I want Arsenal to win the league, I will not fail to give credit to Manchester City who moved from far behind to becoming a major contender for the trophy, it is not an easy milestone so we have to give them the credit. Assuming Arsenal have that level of consistency and title focus, they would have been cruising to title victory with over 20 points by now. It will be wrong for anyone to say that Manchester City did not do well this season.

I would not say they tried because they had one job this season which was to stop Arsenal from winning the league but they couldn't despite going so close to them. They must be feeling disappointed right now because they can't say they went so far from moving from down to 2nd place and not want the league. They have been inconsistent this season and that's the only reason why they couldn't challenge Arsenal this season but it was still a good chase even though they disappointed. Manchester city is a team known for not giving up on the title easily but I don't think much can be done again this season. Arsenal are just lucky that this season no team was in their best performance else they won't have been comfortable on top of the table all season.
