Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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.

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.

Well, better we realize that sometimes, something just happens and its no bodies fault, that is, the coach can not be blamed and the players too did their best but somehow, things still find a way to go wrong.
This is very real and if we do experience things like this in real life, it's expected we understand that same may be the current situation of some of this clubs find themselves..

To me, I think the Liverpool coach is doing his best though some may want to say that his best is not enough, the players too are putting in the best performance they can but still, they are not getting the same result they got last season that made them win the title, even though if you ask me, I would play Liverpool actually played better this season than they did last season, but still, winning games feels like an impossibility for them.

There's no way this current Chelsea's coach won't get sacked by the end of the season if he's even allowed to finish the season at Chelsea, what the hell is going, Chelsea is even becoming a worst team than ever getting thrashed by everyone, and the worst scenario is getting beaten three nil at home matches without even replying a single goal as seen in their game with PSG. This is a really annoying situation at the moment.

The sacking of Enzo maresca has brought the club three years backwards because what this their current coach is doing is just pure nonsense, I can't remember Chelsea this bad during the reign of Enzo maresca, but he was sacked unjustly, and now with the current form and league standing, their is a higher chances that things might even get worse.

I am putting all the blame on the owners of Chelsea because they created this mess going on at the club, that is why the fans of Chelsea has been protesting against them, because they are the real cause of the downfall of Chelsea. During the days of Roman abrahimovic, Rosenior would never in his lifetime coach a team as big as Chelsea because he is not good enough to do so, but under todd boehly, it has been from one experiments to the other, as if Chelsea is a small club.

[Furious 7]

I expected Chelsea to lose but I didn’t think they would not be able to score a goal. They were totally humiliated by Everton, at that point when Everton scored the third goal, everyone knew the game was over. Is this the Chelsea project? I bet they are having a rethink about Liam Rosenior’s contract.

Another defeat and this is their 4th defeat in the last 4 matches they have had with 12 conceded and only 3 goals scored in the last 4 matches in all competitions they have done.

This is really bad for Chelsea and what is their new coach doing but taking notes in the book on the sidelines?
Even though their momentum has been very good and can even compete in a good position in the standings but instead the performance has decreased again now.
 
In addition, it looks like we are getting the next Onana at the moment because of the silliness that Sanchez did in this match.

[Ahli38]

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.

Chelsea is indeed losing its way. They’ve been having a run of bad luck lately as they’ve had to face Everton which a strong rival for Chelsea and even Newcastle another tough opponent. Both teams have managed to beat Chelsea recently. And that makes it even harder for Chelsea to secure fifth or fourth place in the standings. The upcoming matches won’t be easy for Chelsea either as they’ll have to face Manchester City or even Manchester United. Chelsea can’t underestimate these two teams because they’ll have to fight very hard to beat them. And I personally think that the next two matches will be decisive for Chelsea’s future. It’s possible that Chelsea’s position will continue to decline. But if Chelsea manages to improve their performance in the next two or even three matches so there'll be a good chance they can secure their spot in the top 4 of the Premier League. But I’m a little unsure that Chelsea can secure that position given the tough road ahead.

Chelsea have lost badly. They have won only one of their last five matches. They have lost three. A few days ago, the team was fighting hard to get into the top 4 of the table. But after losing so badly, it has become even more difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League.

In the last match, Chelsea lost 3-0 against Everton. This was a completely unexpected result. In the previous two matches, Chelsea lost against Newcastle and Arsenal. And by a very narrow margin. But they performed very badly against Everton. Although they conceded 3 goals, Chelsea could not score a single goal. Chelsea suffered a humiliating defeat.

Badly performance of Chelsea after defeating by Everton 3-0 and become four matches loss in a row all competition between domestic league and champion league, last four matches in a row Chelsea have much problem with defense conceded 12 goals and scoring 2 goals only against PSG in first leg match at Champion League. Seems this season almost over for Chelsea would be difficult finish at top fourth standings after two loss in a row at premier league from Newcastle United and Everton.

Upcoming two matches later in Premier League Chelsea have to face quite difficult team from Manchester City and Manchester United, three points gap with Aston Villa at the 4th place but has one match more I think Chelsea can't finish at Champion League spot standings this season.

Chelsea has suffered 4 consecutive defeat in a row, it has really been long this kind of thing happened to Chelsea....And after ruminating, I have simply come to the conclusion that Rosenior is simply the problem of Chelsea, I wonder why he hasn't been sacked and replaced with another Manger...Chelsea cut my bet yesterday and out of annoyance and total disappointment in Chelsea I had to stop watching yesterday's match, coz I kept telling myself that this isn't the Chelsea we all knew...Even if any team is to beat Chelsea it shouldn't be Everton since Chelsea has a history of always trashing Everton except on few occasions where they didn't...

What you have to note is that the problem of Chelsea is inpatient from the club hierarchy, you don't expect a manager to come and perform magic thinking that the club were going to turn things around simply because a new manager is brought. Chelsea problem is not about the coach Chelsea as a club should build their team on a long term basis and stop looking for quick victories just as we are seeing them play out. Even if this current manager is sacked things will not be changed because Chelsea currently doesn't have the squad to compete at the highest level and get good results.

You have a point, Chelsea are not patient enough to wait and achieve better results. All these things that are happening to them, if they had calmed down, created a strategy, maintained a coach for some time, and assessed his performance, both in wins and losses, then they would be able to achieve better performance. Chelsea, as a whole, need to be rebuilt, if not, I don’t think they will be able to achieve anything, because if they want quick victory, how can they maintain it? They beat PSG in the Club World Cup, but they were not able to win even one of the home and away games in the round of 16 in the Champions League. Does that make any sense? Chelsea need to do more than this, to be honest.

Yes. Fans will be furious with Arne Slot if Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League, as it would be a disgrace for the defending league champions to fail to qualify for the Champions League. Liverpool are currently stuck in 5th place, and if Aston Villa picks up three points against West Ham, they will be five points behind Aston Villa, making it difficult for Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League, as there are only seven Premier League matches remaining.

Liverpool will no longer be defending champions even if they fail to qualify for it, the league that they won last season will expire as soon as the Arsenal clinches the title and Liverpool will no longer be the champions and by then few games will still be remaining before the season comes to an end. Not an excuse from my side though, Liverpool has been, should I say complacent or they just drifted from the radar because I still can't explain what happened to them. What's happening to Liverpool right now has thought me that you can spend big and still struggle without the right man in the driving seat. I didn't think when the league started this season that Liverpool will be struggling to qualify for the champions league, my projection was then winning the league again but here we are.

I just see that Liverpool and Chelsea are not just determined this season because tell me how these elite teams are taking enough Ls already before the end of the season? This is average and totally unacceptable for the fans, imagine a fan who's acquainted with his team winning games and lifting trophies, they now suffer defeats not just one one game, but in back to back games. This is no longer the club they supported beceausw everything changing vastly.


Explain to me how on earth is Liverpool still retaining Arne Slot as their manager? He's not doing enough to put his team in front and this have become totally unacceptable. Liverpool are just here swinging around with inconsistent performance, I just hope they're able to gather themselves up and running for next season.

Beto scored 2 goals in today's match against Chelsea. He was truly great and he became the hero today for Everton. Iliman also became a hero for Everton in today's match against Chelsea because he scored 1 goal. As the champion of the Club World Cup last season, it is very unfortunate that Chelsea has now lost its best performance. In my opinion, with the squad that Chelsea currently has, Chelsea should have been able to win against Everton, but it is very unfortunate that the result was very disappointing. I lost when betting on this match because I thought Chelsea would win today's match, but it turned out that Chelsea lost with a score of 3-0, which was far from my prediction. Did you also bet on Chelsea's victory like me?

Chelsea is now in 6th place and currently there is still a chance for Chelsea to improve itself to achieve a better ranking than today. Even if they don't win, at least Chelsea still has a chance to compete for tickets to the Champions League and Europa League. Liam now needs to improve Chelsea's performance because if it is left like this, Chelsea's ranking could drop even further and many Chelsea fans will definitely be disappointed.

The current performance of Liverpool that we are seeing may mean that they may fail to qualify for the Champions League, if this happens, then the fans will definitely be angry at the slot. Since the Liverpool team is already stuck in the fifth position, if they cannot collect full points in their next match, it will be an even bigger failure for them. Aston Villa will try to perform well for the next match and if they collect full points, they will strengthen their position. If Liverpool falls 5 points behind, then they will definitely fall behind the Champions League qualification, which will not get them a Champions League ticket for the next season. So the Liverpool team will have to play strongly in the few matches that they have and collect full points in every match.

[Tamaperdana]

I really didn't expect Chelsea to be defeated by Everton in this match, even though Chelsea basically had very good ball control in this match, but unfortunately they couldn't take advantage of their opportunities well. In addition, Chelsea's defense was also very bad in this match, because being defeated by Everton with such a landslide score is clearly very clear evidence for Chelsea's defense is really bad right now.

So with that I don't know what will happen to Chelsea after this, because in the last two matches Chelsea failed to secure points because they lost and their current position is getting further away from the top four in the Premier League. So with this I don't think Chelsea will have much hope of being able to win a ticket to the Champions League for the coming season. Because currently the competition for the top four is very tight, so with Chelsea's current performance I don't think they will be able to do much.

So the Liverpool team will have to play strongly in the few matches that they have and collect full points in every match.

If it is in a normal season when Premier League has only 4 spots for Champions League, Liverpool have high risk of failing to be qualified for Champions League. It's fortunate for them that the league will possibly have 5 spots for Champions League so Liverpool will only have to compete with one club for the fifth position that can be either Aston Villa or Chelsea but more likely the main competitor will be Chelsea.

Liverpool don't have too good form but Chelsea don't have a better form too and they still have a little bit minor advantage against Chelsea for the fifth position. Of course to get that position at the end, they must play very focus and well in remaining matches.

Everton secured a crucial 3-0 victory over Chelsea. Beto was the star of the match, finishing the game with two goals and one assist. Things are not going well for Chelsea. They were knocked out of the Champions League after suffering heavy defeats in both matches against PSG, and with this latest defeat, they have dropped out of the top five in the league. This victory was crucial for Everton’s progress. We must acknowledge that their performances have been inconsistent throughout the season, but David Moyes appears to have turned the team around. The race for a top-five finish in the Premier League looks set to intensify as we head into the final weeks.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Liverpool and Chelsea trying their hardest to let a team like Everton or Brentford into the CL in that 5th qualifying spot. Absolutely embarrassing season by both of them, how Slot is still in the job I do not know.

Chelsea recent performance seems inconsistent to me. I think their players are in a very bad mental state after their two-leg defeat against PSG in the Champions League. Surprisingly, Chelsea played well in the match but failed to score. They had possession of the ball for about 66% of the match but only managed to get 4 shots on target. Everton's players were very confident about winning and scored regularly and the final score of the match was 3-0 which almost surprised most fans.

After being knocked out of the Champions League, Chelsea's players showed a lack of performance and they could not get out of that defeat cycle in the last match although I expected them to perform well in the upcoming matches and maybe reach third or fourth place in the table.
