Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Amphenomenon]

No one expected Manchester United to perform like this against Bournemouth. They did well in today's match, but the opposing team also played well. If Manchester United could collect full points in today's match, they could strengthen their position. But despite their efforts, they could not win. Most people lost their bets in this match because everyone was betting on Manchester United. However, in the 78th minute, a player from Manchester United was sent off after receiving a red card, which led to the opposing team scoring a goal shortly after. After Bournemouth scored the goal, they equalized the game and the points were shared between the two teams.

I had hoped for Manchester united to have a win on that away game, taking the 3 points along with them. What i didn't expect is the level of play from the Bournemouth side. They played well and managed to hold Man united to a draw. With this draw, Bournemouth has their last 5 games played end in a draw.
Manchester united, on paper, was stronger than their opponent and was somewhat expected to win that game. But Bournemouth was no pushover and probably prepared mentally to face Man united, a team that has seem tremendous change since the exit of Amorim. A draw is always better than a loss.

Bournemouth were ready to fight like their first meeting this season, were both teams got 4 goals, which ended in a tie but I think we were still anticipating a win especially after the pressure and great save from Petrovic and then when United got the lead Bournemouth did not just back down twice to comeback.

The league is exciting and the games this week were having lot of betting cutting games from Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Chelsea is clearly loosing it, if they make it to the 4th position by the end of the season, I will consider it a very big achievement for them this season because they actually do not look like they will be making progress moving forward, but then even Liverpool that happens to be at the 5th position is not doing any better either so they may not be completely out, both teams did lost badly today and disappointed a lot of persons who had expected more from them.

I don’t think Chelsea players want to play for Liam Rosenior anymore, their is not eagerness to press, the defense, keeper connection dont exist or maybe the players are pretending that it doesn’t exist.
For me Chelsea are in a place where they just want the season to end and see if this new coach can be sacked.
Four losses and in the last three games Chelsea hasn’t scored a goal.

What's the problem of the club currently? Because the Blues are suffering from back to back losses which the fans are no longer finding it funny. This is suppose to be a club that would have risen their position to be ranking in the top four but what do we get when we support them? Humiliation and they're no where near reaching the top four.

Today at Goodison Park, the Blues suffered a 3 nil defeat against the Toffees and you think everything is okay? Liam Rosenior have been known to be a man that's relenting towards his managerial role. He's showing every sign of incompetent standards and qualities.

What I see is that Chelsea seems to be losing their confidence , and they face the same problems in every match, that is they can’t perform  consistently. They  initially looked like the dominant  side and were sometimes able to  take the lead, but strangely enough, despite all that advantage, they ended up getting  nervous and finished the game  with a disappointing result . I think this is quite a serious issue and could well be the reason they fail to qualify for the Champions League , as they are currently just two points ahead of Brentford and Everton.

Chelsea lose in an unexpected way. Not even scoring a goal make things worst. Although I know the match will be a tough match as Chelsea is seriously fighting to be among top 4, more also Everton still have the hope of sitting in the Europa spot as you said. I never expect an easy win for everton but it was a real success for them to secure all three points from Chelsea. I'm not really impressed with Chelsea last 3 matches. They were beating in all without a goal. They really need more improvement if they really want to be among the top 4 at the end of the season.

I was convinced that things had turned around for Chelsea with Rosenior’s arrival, there had been some good performances, convincing wins and attractive football. Now, for the last three or four games, they have been playing embarrassingly badly. I don’t know if Rosenior has what it takes to turn things round, but it seems it was just a temporary boost caused by the new manager.

I wonder when Slot will get sacked. Will it be after getting knocked out by City in the FA Cup and then being heavily beaten in Paris? I think his days are numbered. I don't believe he'll make it to the end of the season. He had built up some credit after a few good results, but that's gone now. Injuries can't be used as an excuse. There's no explanation for that loss to Brighton.

In all honesty, is it not a bit too early to start calling for Slot to be sacked. Football can change very quickly and a couple of bad results should not completely erase the progress he has made so far. Obviously the loss to Brighton was poor and hard to defend, but every team goes through rough period during the season, all that is required is support and motivation from the fans. Truthfully injuries is really not an excuse to justify failures, but they still play a role in consistency and team balance. Also, facing teams like City and PSG is never easy for any manager, so those results alone should not decide his future in coaching the club. I am sure he will find a rythm to the team before the season ends.

Man United was unlucky in this match even though they played very well, but the red card received by Harry Maguire changed everything.

Manchester United performance has been so good in their matches recently, since they changed their coach, everything has been different for them. They played draw against Bournemouth in the match, I won’t say the draw is really a good one for them, but getting a draw is better than losing the match, because they will be going away with 1 point. The red card really affected them, because no matter how good a team is, if they can receive a red card ina match then their performance is going to drop, it’s going to affect them which happened to Manchester United in the match.

They are still in 3rd position which is good m, let’s just hope Manchester United will end the season in top 4, with their current performance, they really deserve to qualify for the champions league next season.

Chelsea making the top 4 spot is an impossible thing even in the dream because of there inconsistent performance this season,  since the start of the season is have never seen any sign of consistency in there side that can make them make it to the fourth position but rather all i can see in them is uniform weakness which was why the lost woefully to Everton in today's game.
If not for the transfer bans I would say they need total restructuring or revamping in there squad starting from the defense line down to the attack, because why they could not perform even with the level of players they have is what i cant tell.

Chelsea wont make it to the top 4 this season. Today, I saw a team that is clueless in the field. No strings of passes, no connection, each of the players was trying to create chances individually. The confusion was too much.

If Chelsea can't get a point at Everton, do you think they will get a point against Manchester City, Manchester United, and Brighton? To be frank, if Chelsea finish 8th in the EPL table this season, they really tried. 4th is impossible.

You know one thing about Premier league, there is this saying that says: the first shall be the last and the last shall be the first. That's exactly what's happening right now in the Premier league. Chelsea that everyone were looking up to have become the team everyone is laughing at, it's not even funny for them anymore. Loosing 4 matches in 1 month isn't good thing, they are probably not going to make it to the top 4 before the end of the season.

Liverpool is also another useless team in the Premier league that you can't even say anything about them. If you predicted they are going to win, they are going to lose and if you predict they are going to lose then they are going to win. So I think going forward, the best thing a person can do about this two now is maybe is to bet the opposite of their games, that's only way to make money from them or better just avoid them completely.

It all depends on clubs like Aston Villa and Liverpool otherwise, there'll be no single reason to have Chelsea qualifying for the Champions league or earning the 4th position on the table.
After PSG, I knew they'll be demoralised ahead of this game. You can see some players are excited while the others are not. Liverpool lose has got to be the most tiring, this is how a defending champion behaves?!

Chelsea is clearly losing it at this point. If they somehow manage to finish in 4th position by the end of the season, I would honestly see that as a very big achievement, because right now they don’t look like a team that is making real progress.

But then again, Liverpool sitting in 5th isn’t doing any better either, so Chelsea are not completely out of it yet. The gap is still something that can be closed if things turn around. Both teams performed very poorly today and disappointed a lot of people who expected much more from them.

I highly doubt that Chelsea will be able to make the top four of the English Premier League of this season. If they were supposed to make the top four, it would have been before now and not now that there is much competition there. For Chelsea to be able to be in the top four means that they will first displace Liverpool, then they will display Aston Villa. Doing that very task with this their present form is something unrealistic.

Chelsea should be talking about Europa league qualification, if not Conference league. They shouldn't be talking about top 4 please. Top 4 is not easy to attain in this present English Premier league competition.

That’s definitely not happening, Chelsea would be extremely lucky to finish in the top 5 at the end of the season. Between Liverpool and Chelsea, I can’t decide which club has had the worst off-season. Both club fans want their managers gone for obvious reasons. Liverpool fell off from being league champions to battling for a UCL spot, Chelsea on the other hand are club world champions and still can’t hold their defense.

[JeffBrad12]

The dark era of Chelsea is coming again. They suffer their fourth lose after Everton thrashed them with three nil. Honestly, they have been regressing far greater than my expectation. It shows up their manager is still a boy who being so clueless what to do to deliver wins.
Eghbali built a circus ring master after he sacked Maresca, then appoint Rosenior to be 🤡 in the circus.

Honestly, choosing someone who only ever managed hullcity and strassbourg. This is basically already a wrong movement since the start. Team is doomed with man-age manager and his ridiculous comment. What a stupid appointment to be honest.

Chelsea will be finishing in the 8th or 9th position in the league so making it to the top four depends on the other teams that are in their front, if a team like Manchester United will lose all their remaining games, Aston Villa lose their remaining games and Chelsea is able to win their own games that's when such things will work out for them but based on what is happening right now it is not possible for Chelsea to win their remaining games and the teams I mentioned will not lose all their matches so Chelsea needs to try again next season. Everton defeating them today was expected because they have been inconsistent, the coach is not doing enough and until he is sacked the team will not come back to winning ways.

[execijutiere]

Liverpool returned from their away match against Brighton with a defeat. It is becoming increasingly difficult for Liverpool to finish in the top four, and I believe it is now time for them to turn things around in the league. Brighton were by no means an easy opponent, but Liverpool needed to win. Liverpool remain on 49 points, having played a game in hand. If Aston Villa beat West Ham, they will extend the points gap to five.
Burnley are heading towards relegation. They didn’t play particularly well against Fulham and lost 3-1. With this victory, Fulham managed to take their points tally to 44 and have closed the gap on their rivals in the race for fifth place.

Most times clubs pass through times like this, especially after transfer of players or change of coach,

It always a phase that they will pass, but they have to think fast in Oder for them to qualify for champions league next season.

For me personally I feel that Chelsea's coach has some potential, they have to give him more time to Seattle down and fix things up.

They made a huge mistake actually by sacking Enzo Maresca because he was seriously a tactical genius and with him around I don’t think things will be this worse because during his time he usually used to find a way to win matches.

Now my only concern is I don’t agree with the ideology that because Rosenior is coming from a smaller club, personally I think they have been managers who actually were coming from those lower league and they did better than him. The first example id Enzo Maresca himself who came all the way from championship with Leicester city and he is doing fine.

Another one is Michael Carrick who actually has never managed any club before aside Middlesbrough is now taking Manchester United into the Champions league while the person that left is from might sporting Lisbon. so I don’t think clubs matter rather your experience and how fast you can get your players playing your pattern fast which is the major problem for this new Chelsea manager now

Arne Slot's failure to retain the English Premier League title this season might be forgiven but should Liverpool fail to qualify for next year's UEFA Champions League competition, I don't that the club fans will want to forgive him. I know he's very much aware that his time at the club will definitely end this season but he still needs to redeem his name by finishing in the top four. The result at Brighton was absolutely disappointing, I didn't expect it, I'm surprised they they couldn't win that particular game.

This is indeed a very bad result, but on the other hand I see that Brighton's performance in the last few matches has been quite good, so I am not so surprised by their victory against Liverpool, and also Liverpool's problem is their inability to maintain consistent performance, and that has happened again in this match.

Arne Slot has indeed failed this season, and that has been apparent since the beginning of the season due to the decline in the team's performance, but Liverpool's management did not dare to take decisive action, and honestly, I highly doubt that Liverpool can finish in the top 4 at the end of this season.
