Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Hvdv]

The match already ended in draw 1:1, seriously I don’t know what was wrong with Arsenal today, in the other hand Bayer Leverkusen was very seriously in this match. They really played arsenal to be honest, if not for that penalty kick I don’t Arsenal will win that match, after I been thinking that Arsenal will win this match easily. They could t do anything. There is still second leg, which will be played at Arsenal home I know my team they will win the second leg.

Everyone else shared the same thought with you on the issue of Arsenal defeating Bayer in the game seeing how impressive Arsenal had become and consistent scoring and winning their matches against other clubs. I saw this game as another game where Arsenal will continue to win their games effortlessly but we were took by surprise as Bayer did not allow the dominance and performance.

I've always said that no club should be underestimated by any clubs or speculators, Arsenal almost lost that match yesterday. Well, I didn't expect less, because they are not of the same league, though Leverkusen might be facing the issue of its own, that doesn't mean it is so weak. Even if they are more determined in the defense, they would have gone away with the winning. I just don't know why they allowed Havertz score the equalizer, otherwise, Arsenal would have lost. The second leg would have been more difficult for them to win.

My friend, you must not have watched the match. Havertz scored from a penalty, so he didn't score against Leverkusen through individual effort. Arsenal should have won this match, but they only managed a draw with a penalty in the final minutes. Everyone expected Arsenal to win, but it turned out to be an unexpected match, just like the victories against Galatasaray and Bodo. Leverkusen almost won. Arsenal were lucky to have secured a draw. Now they will try to win the second leg.

[pewboy]

I think the pressure will become even greater for this team. everyone's expectations are also higher for them at this point. So Arsenal must really be able to maintain their focus so that their performance doesn't fall apart at the end of the season. In the UCL, they are actually quite lucky because they will only face Leverkusen and not other giant teams. but still, there are no weak teams in the UCL. All of them have strengths that can even cause favorite teams to admit defeat in the end.

the thing that amazes me the most is the power of this team and being strong and performing even in the champions league, few teams this year manage to maintain these performances both in the championship and in international and European cups, they are really good and are improving more and more.

Oh, that's a miss indeed, thanks for pointing that out. And yes, I didn't watch the Leverkusen vs Arsenal match yesterday because all my thoughts were that all the 4 yesterday's Champions League games would be played at the same time at 20:00 GMT, but the Arsenal's match happened earlier. I just checked the results of the ones I missed, but not paying attention to the penalty.

Still, I'm lost about the bodo remark you made. The Bodø/Glimt I know, the underdog, still won yesterday. It was even an incredible 3-0 win against Sporting.

[Frankolala]

Honestly, Arsenal was lucky to get that penalty if not, they would have lost the game. I was also surprised that Arsenal didn't play like a team topping their league compared to how they use to play in EPL. Maybe, they want to be more focused on their EPL games to avoid injuries. Leverkusen shouldn't be underestimated, though.

We should not forget that it's the uefa champions league, and in the uefa champions league, no team should be underrated, Bayern Leverkusen was actually good on the night, and if not that the Bayern Leverkusen defender was wreck less in his challenge on madueke in their penalty box, their would have been no penalty, which might have condemned arsenal to their first defeat this season in the uefa champions league, but it's a good thing that they were able to avoid a defeat, and everything will now be decided at the emirate stadium next week, which I strongly believe that arsenal will be just too strong for them at the emirate stadium.

I believe that Arsenal will be fully prepared for the second leg in Emirate Stadium because whoever wins, goes to the next round. I wouldn't agree with you that Arsenal underestimated Leverkusen because Arsenal will love to keep their winning streak record on but they saw what they didn't expect and it affected their game pattern. Leverkusen wasted some of their chances.

I don't think so, the season journey is still long and Arsenal is not necessarily able to win the title because the problem they often face is their inability to maintain performance consistency towards the end of the season, so that is also likely to happen again this season, especially since Arsenal is only 4 points ahead of Man City and still has 8 matches left this season, so I think it will be a long journey and they really shouldn't divide their focus. The Premier League title is the most possible for them to achieve and Arsenal should really focus more on that.

Arsenal have been playing so great in the champions league and I have seen them play superb in the premier league also. Their performance makes them the best choice for the premier league title, which they’ve dominated so far and are leading ahead amongst other teams in the competition now. Manchester City’s threat won’t be felt by them if they maintain consistency in their remaining games till the end of the season. Arsenal should not feel trembled as they’re playing now, they still have the upper chance and capability of winning the Premier League as it stands now. I’m actually rooting for them but I hope they don’t misuse this wonderful opportunity they’ve gotten over and over again, season after season.

Arsenal team is performing very well this season, but they have given the most importance to the Premier League. Because they still have enough opportunities this season and are occupying the top position of the point table by a large margin. I considered Manchester City team as a threat in the Premier League but Manchester City team is very weak at the moment, it will never be possible to leave Arsenal team behind with their aggressive performance. So undoubtedly Arsenal team is known as the best team and the best performing team this season.

To be honest with you, Arsenal will win the premier League. I hate it too but I can't deny the fact that Manchester City can't compete for this title. Reason is of you check Manchester City upcoming matches it is very complex. The only way they can still compete is to sacrifice the second leg of the champions League and put focus on the premier League, FA and Carabao cup. They can't win Madrid with a clean sheets. Manchester City performance have dropped badly since last season whilst they are still singing good players but it's not helping them. I don't know if the problem is the players or the Coach himself.

[knowngunman]

You people will be shouting England, England every time just look at what's happening to them. When I say English teams are mostly mediocre teams many people will argue and claim it's the best league. It's only the best in the domestic league and always gets tossed around when they get to play in the European stage, it's mostly Chelsea that doesn't get tossed around, to me, they are the only English team that fights to the finish in recent years. Some people still doesn't realise that group stage is way different from Knock stage and that's why I don't take teams seriously in the group stages. Just qualify and start seeing real football.

Which Chelsea fight to the finish? Is it the conference league they played in and won or the Europa league or the club world cup that's making you exclude them? Chelsea is just like the rest of the English clubs, it is only in the premier league you will see them dragging each other and be claiming big clubs and strongest league. Remove the big TV right there's nothing special about the English premier league.

Just look at how they were all disgraced. I hope those pundits that were magnifying the English league for producing 6 clubs in the top 8 of the champions league table, will be also talk about their failures in this first leg. It is a big disgrace to all English clubs. Especially Chelsea who claimed to be world champions getting trashed in this manner. There's no difference between them and Tottenham.

I can't help myself but laugh out even though I don't have enough strength this afternoon. I wonder which of the Chelsea Adbitco is talking about 

Was it the same Chelsea that got toss yesterday by PSG or there's another Chelsea I'm not aware about?

I have said it several times and I will always maintain my stance on Chelsea. They are the most overrated team in England at the moment. When talking about the big teams in the English Premier league, Chelsea is not suppose to be in that conversation. The era Chelsea was among the big is long gone and I don't think they can get back on that track any sooner. Premier league is not overrated, in fact it's still the best among other leagues but Chelsea in particular is the overrated team.

[Stavri]

Haaland has been experiencing a serious drop in form lately. he hasn't scored in weeks. Because of this, Manchester City is on the verge of losing its contention in both the league and Europe. It’s honestly frustrating to see him like this when the whole team relies on him so much.

[Localhostspeed]

I understand that arsenal has always been performing well before now and it is also expected that they maintain the same pace even at their last match, but if you are going to go back on history and how they have been consistent in some of their matches in the past, we can see that the moment you begin to overrate or depend on Arsenal for their performance, then they come out to act the opposite way in their match, very difficult to see their consistency last for long, but still yet, they play along and perform well beyond one could expect in some occasions.

I have been trying to understand Premier league for long time but yesterday matches gave me a conclusion that what has been happening around here is nothing but the Premier league has turned to a weak league. This was what Arsenal has been doing since Arteta has been managing the club but Manchester City and Liverpool that won those period were in good form, now that they are not in good form is why they have not been consistent and ready.

I don't have any doubt about the league again, they are winning this for sure. The Manchester City we are all looking upto don't look like who is going to win this, they are not even close from what I have seen, if it was Manchester City of then, Real Madrid wouldn't go home for free without one goal in the Champions League but they conceded 3 goals from one player, that's a shame and a team that is not ready for the league.

So,, Liverpool's performance this season is very different from the previous season. Because players who previously worked well together in the previous season have now been sold by Liverpool, leaving only existing players and new players. So, that's why Liverpool's teamwork is currently very poor in my opinion. And last night's defeat against Galatasaray, I think it was definitely due to Liverpool's poor performance. So for Liverpool fans, maybe this season they all have to be patient with this situation.

it got worse and no one realized what had happened to this team it was truly surreal, this decline was inexorable and continued to go on until the end, without anyone realizing it, even though Liverpool won a championship recently.
Worse and worse.

[Alpha Marine]

Arsenal must have underrated Bayer Leverkusen before the game they could be the reason why they didn't prepare well before taking them in the game,

No, Arsenal did not underrate anybody; they were simply not good enough. In the knockout phases of the Champions League, no team underrates any team. I guess you guys have not been paying attention to Arsenal. Their performance has declined. They are not as good as they used to be. They mainly sit in a low block, defend well and attack when they get the ball. Added to the fact that they are good at set pieces, they get to create a lot of chances from that.
This is why teams create a lot of chances against them. We saw how Brighton created so many chances against them, but they couldn't convert. The same thing happened with Leverkusen yesterday. If Leverkusen had converted, they might have won the game.

A glamorous squad does not guarantee a team will become  champions. Liverpool have lost several players who have moved to other teams, but I don't think that should be  the reason why they are performing poorly at the moment, because this season they have signed  many big players and spent a lot of money for that actions. It's just that despite these advantages, Liverpool  lacks a diverse strategy, so even though they now have many great players, their game remains monotonous and easy for  their rivals to anticipate. This season, they will not be able to win the Premier League and may not even finish in the top four.

[m4r1o]

Tudor is performing wonders although not the type they expected, and the funny thing is that they have Liverpool next and it feels like the lower relegation zone teams are actually starting to sit up especially with West Ham led by Summerville's rejuvenating attacks, It's going to be wild seeing the member of the original big 6 going to the Championships.

I understand the situation 4 goals in less than 30 minutes, but to claim that they have already been relegated seems exaggerated to me.
Tudor is certainly making a lot of confusion, but there is a real difference between now and being relegated.
Spurs if they save themselves they will just manage to do it, if they lose to Liverpool, which is very likely then i are setting up the popcorn for disaster.

Yes, it can be seen from Liverpool's position in the standings, currently in sixth place, it is certainly very difficult for them to reach fourth place, but I see that the mainstay players who are Liverpool's mainstay for this season are injured, such as Alexander Isak and Wataru Endo, they must be absent, of course, it is a big blow for Liverpool because their strength is reduced by the absence of these players.

There are still matches that Tottenham can fight for. But this season they are really bad. The competition at the bottom of the standings will also be intense, just like the competition at the top of the standings. I think Tottenham should be able to survive this season. At least they will not be relegated, that is what they have to maintain.

Bayer Leverkusen missed their opportunity. They actually created many chances against Arsenal. Many didn't expect such a good performance from them, but Arsenal were far from spectacular. They played very well in the league stage, easily beating many teams, but yesterday's game showed Leverkusen had done their homework. Now they will try to progress to the next round in England, but it won't be easy. Arsenal play magnificently at home. Leverkusen failed to capitalize on their chance and couldn't finish the match with a win.

Bayer Leverkusen hasn't been playing well in their domestic I was surprised by their performance but where did they get the strength to play against arsenal like that, was it because they were at home?. They play well and everyone was surprised and same time impressive with their performance. They misused numerous opportunities that could've been utilize and converted to goals. Arsenal were fortunate that Leverkusen failed to convert their opportunities into goals. Now that arsenal has play against bayer leverkusen and if they didn't play better at home, they might lose to leverkusen.

Arsenal's advantage is that this match is being played away. A draw in Germany gives them an advantage in England because they have the home advantage. Furthermore, I don't think I need to explain how strong Arsenal are at home. They previously beat Bayern Munich in the league, and they'll want to do the same against Leverkusen. I would be very surprised if they lost in England.

[banana33]

I know Arsenal is superior to Leverkusen especially in the Champions League Arsenal qualified as the top of the standings without a defeat, but betting on Arsenal when this club is playing away seems too risky who knows the match will end in a draw then Arsenal can win it in the second leg when playing at home, everything will be more difficult when playing as the away team especially Leverkusen is not a club that can be underestimated so easily the more we underestimate the team usually the club will try their best to show their best to silence the voices that underestimate them.

Against all expectations they drew, I expected a more aggressive Bayer Leverkusen and I didn't expect Arsenal to be so slowed down.
Should the next match be more fierce, of course, could Leverkusen turn the scene of this season around?
Arsenal are absolutely superior in terms of performance, but in this match they did not demonstrate this superiority, their performance was mediocre.

[Not your key not your BTC]

Honestly, Arsenal was lucky to get that penalty if not, they would have lost the game. I was also surprised that Arsenal didn't play like a team topping their league compared to how they use to play in EPL. Maybe, they want to be more focused on their EPL games to avoid injuries. Leverkusen shouldn't be underestimated, though.

Arsenal weren't underestimating Leverkusen, but their players were indeed exhausted due to their busy schedule. Therefore, Arsenal didn't perform well in this match, and they were fortunate to draw at Leverkusen home ground. Arsenal were focused on the Premier League, so they made several substitutions against Leverkusen to avoid injury. Moreover, a draw at Leverkusen's home ground was enough for Arsenal, so when playing in the second leg at home, Arsenal only needed a win by any score.

Arsenal's performance has always been strong and good this season and in the end, Arsenal has been working hard and struggling in all the matches that are happening. They drew against Leverkusen which was such a bad result because we thought Arsenal's performance and strength was stronger but the decision turned out to be the opposite. Although Arsenal have another against Leverkusen if Arsenal wins against them then it affects their performance more. Obviously every team has an advantage at home but Arsenal takes full advantage of it and if even a strong team like Bayern Munich cannot win a match against them then how will other teams defend themselves. If we hope that they do not lose then it is also surprising how Arsenal's performance has become strong and they are succeeding in the title race.

Arsenal are absolutely superior in terms of performance, but in this match they did not demonstrate this superiority, their performance was mediocre.

Leverkusen can really put pressure on Arsenal at home, but I don't think the same will happen in the second leg, as Arsenal will certainly try their best to gain the upper hand in the second leg, even though Arsenal's first leg performance was mediocre in front of the Leverkusen fans. Furthermore, I also expected Manchester City to spring a surprise at Real Madrid's home ground, but instead lost heavily there, making it difficult for them to turn things around in the second leg.
