Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Nheer]

I'm highly disappointed with Chelsea result against PSG because this season's PSG is totally different from the PSG that won the treble last season and they even struggle to win their matches in their domestic league this season, and since Chelsea humiliated Aston Villa in the Premier League, I was confident enough that Chelsea was going to beat PSG at Parc des Princes but after watching PSG humiliated Chelsea in France, what I can say is that this is the end of the road for Chelsea in their Champions League campaign this season.

It's never easy to go visit someone's home and out perform them especially when it's a game between two big teams. Chelsea are not so consistent with their performance and also PSG but the champions league is always a different league so you expect any team to visit PSG home and win them easily. In my opinion I think Chelsea played well they didn't back down easily and had it been the Jorgenson was not started and he used Sanchez instead I believe those mistakes wouldn't have happened and about 3 of all the goals scored by PSG wouldn't have gone in and the game would have taken a different turn. Sometimes coaches are the ones that spoil their games by themselves.

Chelsea tried, there performance was good and they even equalised PSG's goals and looked like they would win at some point if not that Enrique made the right subs that helped changed the game for PSG. I wasn't surprised at the final score, it's something I expected that PSG would do. Chelsea's keeper also played a role to why they lost that match. Some errors where uncalled for especially the one that lead to Vitinha's goal.

I don't think PSG could've won if the goalkeeper was to be excellent. Some goals scored were very cheap. The goalkeeper played as if he was under tension. I don't like that Jorgenson at all he always make costly mistakes I don't even know why they will replace Petrovic with Jorgenson.

In my opinion, they don't have many shortcomings in attack. Because both the wingers and Håland are adding strength to Manchester City with their magnificent performances. However, they may need reinforcements in midfield, of course. The defense is also a bit stronger now, and I think Manchester City can win this league next year. They still have a chance to win this year as well. They may be behind Arsenal in points right now, but mathematically they are still in the race. Moreover, their chances are not at all low.

Next season has not started, but you posted already that Manchester City might win next season. At least we should wait and see how the season begins before making any comments at all about the season that as not started yet.

Another thing that you posted is that Manchester City might still overtake Arsenal, but before Nottingham Forest played with City and draw. I always posted that as Arsenal can fuck up, so can City also fuck up and that is what that happened.

Because Arsenal had made many mistakes in previous season, that does not mean such will happen this season. All I think right now is that many of you have too convenience on City and that may not be good at all.

Is like Spurs are repeating what they did or should I say how they performed last season but this season is never going to yield them anything productive. Last season they won the Europa League but this time around they are in their out from the champions league after losing 5-2 to Atletico Madrid, so they can't survive the second leg. If I'm to be honest about these guys (Spurs), they are not going anywhere and the only thing that would save them is if the injured and unavailable players start coming back to strengthen the team. They have to survive this season's pressure by avoiding falling close to the 17th to 18th position. If they start with a win for this year I don't think they are going to drop point till they move themselves off the danger zone but can they beat Liverpool at Anfield? Only time will tell, in as much as the Reds are too weak in all departments I think is not going to be easy for Spurs but if they narrowly escape Liverpool with a win, I think that will be the beginning of their winnings till the end of the season, we see the best of Spurs and they will definitely avoid going to the relegation.

nothing productive, yes it's true last season they won the Europa League and i don't think it's right to have these performances, how the performances have been lowered to the point of this mess, who knows what goes through the minds of these players, honestly they have to be satisfied and try to save what can be saved.

[Slow death]

I don't know about Manchester City, in my opinion they underestimated the situation a bit, and this is clearly a problem, obviously they took a big risk and conceded a lot of goals, i don't think they will be able to reopen the match even if they play at home, it will be very difficult for them to recover from the disaster they made

Manchester City has had great difficulty winning away games this season, and I'm not talking about Champions League games, I'm talking about games in all competitions. But they've had a lot of luck when playing against Newcastle. I think Manchester City can win away from home, but it will be very difficult for them to play without conceding at least one goal because some Real Madrid players will recover and be playing in the second leg.

Tomorrow Manchester City will play against West Ham, and it will be an away game for Manchester City. With their defeat in the Champions League and the distance Arsenal has over them, the Manchester City manager has few choices.

That's why I believe they will have to choose to discard the Champions League, meaning they will have to play very seriously tomorrow in the Premier League game, and in the next Champions League game the players will be tired. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if Guardiola chooses to rotate the squad in the next Champions League game.

Almost everyone, including me, was disappointed when Chelsea lost so badly to PSG. Chelsea will struggle to mount a comeback in the second leg, having to chase a big goal deficit. Chelsea would be better off focusing on the Premier League, aiming for a top-four finish to qualify for next season's Champions League, especially considering their strong chances of finishing in the top four, as they only have a two-point lead over Aston Villa.

Chelsea actually still has a chance,  but it looks like it’s going to be a tough one, considering the 3-goal deficit in the first leg. In the second leg, Chelsea will be playing at home, but I doubt  hey’ll be able to make the most of that advantage, especially if  PSG takes the initiative and plays attacking football, and I think PSG has a more solid midfield than Chelsea.

Chelsea are in a difficult situation  as they have to face  Newcastle before the second leg (champion league), which means that if they want to win, they may have to refrain from rotating the squad. But if they choose to rotate, there is a chance  they will drop points against Newcastle.

This season is still running and Chelsea's chance to be in fourth place is still open because the points difference is not too far and that opens up a big opportunity but to achieve it requires tight competition and to enter the Champions League depends on the victory they get. Next Chelsea will face Newcastle which of course if they win will add points and the chance to be in the top four will be achieved

I think Manchester City has come to the end of the road in the Champions League,  because I don't see them overturning the 3 goal lead at the Etihad. I was really disappointed at Manchester City, because I expected much more from them, especially with all the injuries problem that Real Madrid had in their team. I know it will be more difficult at the Etihad,  but I don't see them qualifying.
On the Premier League I don't see them toppling Arsenal at the top, even though they are still in the league mathematical,  but with the way things are going right now, I think Arsenal will win the league, so Manchester City chances of winning a trophy this season can only come in the Carabao cup or the FA cup.

One of the correct answers in my opinion is because if it weren't for that it would be and they are currently consistently achieving their goals in the Premier League especially now that they are not that far behind Arsenal which could lead them to reclaim the top spot they once enjoyed at the start of the season.

Currently they are just waiting for the moment to dislodge Arsenal from the stagnant top spot. This is precisely when Arsenal suffers defeats and Man City achieves maximum results. This is the moment Pep Guardiola's team has been waiting for this season. But it is certainly a tough one for them as Arsenal also has considerable ambition to compete for the title this season.

Chelsea can't do any miracle in the second leg, this PSG team is far better side then Chelsea and the goal line is way too high for them to do a comeback against a top side like PSG. It's a walkover for PSG in the second leg. I never expected Chelsea to win PSG not even when their top players are all back from injury.

My disappointment in the English premier League team, they messed up this year, I don't think any of the team except Arsenal has the hope to qualify to the next round, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea are all three goals behind going into the second leg, it will be tough for them to qualify, Barcelona will beat Newcastle in Spain, so it's only Arsenal that can still qualify if they win Bayern Leverkusen at the empirate stadium.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

I was not expecting Arsenal to do very well in that match and I’m thankful that Arsenal drew the match in their home,  in the second leg I’m sure that Arsenal will take the match very seriously and they will defeat them, especially since the match will be played in Arsenal’s home so they will concentrate and give it their best. I believe Arsenal will qualify for the next round, it is true that the match would be a very difficult one because Leverkusen will put in their best.

Arsenal managed to control ball possession at Leverkusen's headquarters, but very few chances were created so they struggled to score. They didn't perform too well in that game, just look at how they struggled to penetrate Leverkusen defense, fortunately Arsenal managed to score a goal through a penalty so they avoided defeat.

Arteta must pay more attention to his squad in the second leg to prevent Leverkusen from causing a surprise at their headquarters. But before that, they will face Everton in the EPL, a win is a non-negotiable price in that game to maintain their position at the top of the standings. Arsenal resilience needs to be maintained when playing at home to open up the opportunity to appear in the quarter-finals and win the EPL trophy.

[changaa]

I see people say that it's cause of stress from playing in different competitions and it makes me wonder if the other clubs don't have their own domestic competitions they're participating in. I don't fancy that excuse and what I think is that these Premier League clubs got carried away by how they easily qualified for the round of 16.

 It's something worth being shocked at cause their performance before now was amazing, it made me think more Premier League teams would reach the Semifinals but currently I don't have confidence in them, including Arsenal that used to be the best in the tournament, I don't think they'll reach the finals like I expected.

the performance they had was certainly not a remarkable performance and they took away space from teams that could really compete to play good football, this is always due to the fact that the format has changed and led to modifications, this is not a good thing for football at all, it makes it boring.

[verdinio]

Arsenal will do there best and achieve the wining at home and am sure that Arsenal will surly qualify to the next stage next round,  since Levekusen have play draw against Arsenal at home I don't think if they can do that in Emirates stadium next week let just see how the second legs will goes and see who can be the favorite to qualify. All the Premier League clubs that are in the Champions League have not get a single win in the round of 16 and that is a shame to all of them and later they will says Premier league is the best competition, but they have not even defeated any other club yet and but are in a difficult condition we don't know if they will qualify to next round or thy will be eliminated by the opponents they face with this week.

It's true that Arsenal didn't do their best and could do much more but i don't think it's certain that they will qualify, certainty is never said until the end, all matches must be played and must be approached with care, this applies to any match, obviously this will happen soon so we won't have to wait too long

Mikel Arteta is the man for the job. He's human after all not after everyone experienced their defeats. This is the time for Arsenal to literally get away with everything. They ought to win major games and winning them, they need to stay in good shape to achieve their targets this season. Arsenal are definitely going to explore more next season, it's just a matter of time.

What's the essence of good game without accumulating three solid points? Gunners are over hyped as an English side? I don't think so because I've been watching their game closely and have noticed something. They have a specific pattern they do follow and that's how they're able to win games. We call Arsenal set piece club because they score most of their goals from the set piece.

The point difference between them and Aston Villa is actually very slim that if they get to win their next game and Aston Villa suffers a loss, they will be on the 4th spot on the table but a draw for both sides will still keep Chelsea at the 5th spot where they are now. Even Manchester United may need to win their next fixture too because failure to do, can cost them their spot currently.

What happened to man City in their last match against Real Madrid is something that could be considered highly unexpected. It's a show of shame on their defense. That's what happens if you are too relaxed when your ovation is too loud at home, especially with the clubs that couldn't hit your defense hard. Facing Real Madrid shows they didn't prepare for what they met. This is why clubs shouldn't be overconfident, you strategize off and on the pitch.

But they are not so bad, TBH, they only met a team that understood the loop hole in their defence. And as for getting it back in the second leg, that is almost impossible. Real Madrid showed good defence on Wednesday, and I believe they will try more when they meet again. The 3-0 is too much to survive, notwithstanding where next they will play it.

In matches between two big clubs, sometimes accidents for one club can appear like how PSG lost to Barcelona, AC Milan lost to Liverpool, Barcelona lost to Liverpool, or in the last season Inter Milan lost to PSG. This match is such an accident for Manchester City, and this big defeat is very surprising for everyone even Real Madrid players.

Players can start matches with confidence in their ability and belief of beating their opponent but winning too big against a strong opponent is mostly not in their mind. Pep perhaps has his responsibility in this defeat too and he will have to prepare for a second match very carefully. One more mistake, one more conceded goal in the second match, and Real Madrid will surely eliminate Manchester City.

[Mayor of ogba]

That's why,, honestly, I'm quite worried about the second leg too, because if Arsenal plays like this in the second leg, it could be difficult for Arsenal to win again. So that's why Arsenal needs to play more pressing in the upcoming second leg. Because I think that's an effective way to overwhelm the Leverkusen players and not have time to plan attacks. But we'll see later, whether Arsenal will perform better or worse in the upcoming second leg.

Arsenal didn't want to insist otherwise i think they would have easily found the second goal, everyone seemed to have taken it for granted that they could beat Leverkusen easily, but that wasn't the case, Arsenal have to play a very important match next time and it will be really difficult.

I was not expecting Arsenal to do very well in that match and I’m thankful that Arsenal drew the match in their home,  in the second leg I’m sure that Arsenal will take the match very seriously and they will defeat them, especially since the match will be played in Arsenal’s home so they will concentrate and give it their best. I believe Arsenal will qualify for the next round, it is true that the match would be a very difficult one because Leverkusen will put in their best.

What's your reason why you didn't expect Arsenal to do very well against Bayer Leverkusen? For me I expected Arsenal to beat Bayer Leverkusen like 2-0 or 3-0 because they are far better than Bayer Leverkusen but I was disappointed that Arsenal couldn't win Bayer Leverkusen. Don't be too sure that Arsenal will beat Bayer Leverkusen at Emirates Stadium because of home advantage because home advantage doesn't help sometimes in a match, and for Bayer Leverkusen to give Arsenal tough time on their home ground they can also give Arsenal tough time at Emirates Stadium.

Real Madrid showed good defence on Wednesday, and I believe they will try more when they meet again. The 3-0 is too much to survive, notwithstanding where next they will play it.

Pessimistic Manchester City has chance comeback at second leg match against Madrid in champion league by winning over four goals, The Citizen have focus for premier league match in this week against West Ham and make keep close points from Arsenal currently have 7 points.
Manchester City defense very weakness against Madrid conceded three goals and the attacking line player not make any great attempt yet, I think better focus for premier league match how to make gap points with Arsenal too close and still has chance to win premier league tittle although current position very difficult after remaining 7 points but Manchester City has one match left.

[BRINIRHA]

The point difference between them and Aston Villa is actually very slim that if they get to win their next game and Aston Villa suffers a loss, they will be on the 4th spot on the table but a draw for both sides will still keep Chelsea at the 5th spot where they are now. Even Manchester United may need to win their next fixture too because failure to do, can cost them their spot currently.

Things are looking very intense right now. Aston villa and Man Utd are set to face off. and a loss for either team would indeed open the door for Chelsea to climb to fourth place provided Chelsea manages to win their match against Newcastle. And clearly, that won’t be easy at all given Chelsea’s current situation and form, where even their consistency is somewhat in question. Chelsea only has the home-field advantage in the upcoming match. but that doesn’t guarantee anything, does it? It will only boost the players’ confidence, as they’ll certainly feel more comfortable playing at home.
