Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

They're obviously not feeling okay with it. yet, they have nothing to do other than keep playing in order to fight for their last chance to stay at EPL. The thing that i can guess if their management has never learnt from their mistake. They finished at 17th last season, yet this season can be worsen as they can be relegated.
The new season, the more bad achievement unlocked. At this point, there's nothing can help them other than urgently sign a new coach. yeah they have bunch of quality players, but it's all nothing when they have mediocre coach to handle it.

Spend big fees on a quality manager, then hoping it can help them to bounce. If they don't do it, they obviously relegate soon.

It's really appalling, the performance of this Tottenham Hotspur team now have left me even wondering if it's only coach's errors or probably caused by miscommunication. If they continue this way, Westham may displace them form that position and push them to the relegation zone finally. The next game is against Sunderland, a fast team and a pressing team. This game will be taking place at Sunderland's home. Sunderland has had 11 games unbeaten with 4 wins so far. Maybe, just maybe they will loose all the points and find themselves at the relegation zone. Since the exit of Harry Kane and later Son, things have been getting worse at Tottenham Hotspur. As they plan to sign another coach, they should also plan for a good finisher who will get the job done.

Wayne Rooney the Manchester United legend predicted that Manchester city will win the Carabao EFL cup although I did not believe him but his prediction ended up to be correct.
Arsenal should be careful how they play defence. Today they were so much interested in defending than pressing or attacking especially in the second half and they let Manchester city control the game it was only a matter of time before Manchester city break the defence or force and error. Congratulations to Manchester city.

I can’t congratulate Manchester City. Tbh I wanted Arsenal to win at least 3 trophies this season but fate had other plans. Even though it’s been so long since Arsenal won a trophy, the Carabao Cup is not a very important trophy so it’s not the end of the world. The players need to step up from today’s defeat and hold on to their lead in the premier league till the very last match day.

Give congratulations to whom congratulations is due, the outcome of the match might not have been what a lot of people expected but that is the rule of the game, it's always going to be difficult to predict, Arsenal fought a good fight this season and frankly they are still fighting, the Premier League would have been a nice win for them but since that didn't work out they can still channel their hope to a different league, their performance this season was commendable, if they perform this good next season then they might actually win.

Tottenham are officially in trouble. It is impossible to understand how a team like that has been languishing near the bottom of the table for the last two years. They have a roaster capable of finishing in the top six and could easily be in contention for a champions league spot, yet they are in a dire situation and risk relegation.
In any case, one of West Ham, Nottingham Forest or Tottenham will have to go down.

Among these trios of West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur, if they says that I should choose one of them that should be relegated, I would be choosing Tottenham Hotspur to get relegated everyday because in never liked them, and I still can't understand how they got here, and the main reason I want them to get relegated is because they failed to learn their lesson from last season.
Nothing significant was done to address why they finished so low, and now they found themselves in the same situation, I am afraid for them because their form is even more worse than this West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, which if they are not careful enough, they might get relegated this season, which will be a massive blow to the club financially and in the transfer market.

That is correct, Manchester city actually deserves to win the trophy because they played like they came for it regardless of their form and I have noticed the way some team plays in cup is totally different from the way they play in league, image how good Arsenal can be in the premier league and then seeing what Manchester city that is struggling did to them and again you are right football is really unpredictable, this result was disappointing to people because they thought Arsenal was going to win.

Wayne Rooney certainly understands why he prefers Manchester City to win the Carabao Cup because he knows that the team coached by Guardiola if they play in the final will perform extraordinary and have a strong mentality. Manchester City deserved to win the Carabao Cup because they played extraordinary while Arsenal were unable to match Manchester City's game so they lost and Arsenal had to forget their dream of winning 4 trophies this season. I am starting to worry, whether this defeat in the final will impact Arsenal's performance because if it happens Arsenal will likely be eliminated from the FA Cup and it could also impact the remaining Premier League matches by dropping points even though it seems Manchester City's chances of winning the Premier League are very slim considering the points difference is so big.

From your gambling posts in the Premier League threads, I can tell that you are an Arsenal fan. So even though you don't want Arsenal to win the treble this season, I clearly understand why you can't congratulate Pep Guardiola and Manchester City for winning the Carabao Cup. The Carabao Cup final shows that Manchester City could still beat Arsenal in the Premier League, so Arsenal needs to up their performance and avoid dropping points before they face Manchester City in the Premier League, in order for them not lose the title to Manchester City.

Manchester City is strong. But the problem is that their performance is erratic. And for this reason alone I don't think Manchester City should be Premier League champions. Arsenal's overall performance is still more stable than City's. Manchester city won the EFL cup title. They won 2-0. But they could not win in the previous three matches. Also dropped points against West ham in premier league matches. If they fail to pick up full points against weaker teams, it will be impossible for them to close the points gap with arsenal. Even if they win the EFL title , their chances of winning the premier league are slim.

"... But fate had other plans." That's why you should congratulate the team that won by fate your statement reads like that a die-hard Arsenal fan who's obviously disappointed with the outcome of the game but the truth is Manchester City played better and with more zeal to win the trophy, that's why they were able to beat an in-form Arsenal team. For the EPL trophy, though it's mathematically possible for City to win it ahead of Arsenal, I think it's late for that to happen. So yeah, Arsenal I think are surely gonna be champions

Not going to lie, I am disappointed with the result. What annoys me the most is how premier league fans are happy with Manchester City winning the trophy especially Manchester United fans. How can you be celebrating Manchester City’s victory, they are your main rivals but yet you want to side with them against Arsenal.

As an Arsenal fan you are ought to be disappointed with the result of the Carabao Cup final. I know very well that Manchester United fans see Arsenal fans as their brothers and sisters in the Premier League, but if it turns out that Manchester United fans are happy that Arsenal didn't win the Carabao Cup, just know that Arsenal fans has done something bad to Manchester United fans, and Arsenal losing the Carabao Cup to Manchester City is a good opportunity for Manchester United fans to return that same energy to Arsenal fans.

Arsenal looks like a team who are scared of winning a trophy, I don’t really know why they are scared, but winning a trophy have been very very difficult for Arsenal, there fans should be disappointed because I believe they were expecting to win this trophy and it could’ve motivated them to chase the Premier League, but right now they have to focus on the Premier League, because they can’t afford to loose the Premier League as well, they’re having a huge advantage of points against Manchester City, and right now everyone is expecting them to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title, but if unfortunately they can’t don’t win the title it will be a huge disaster to Arsenal, and Arsenal always looks like a disaster that is waiting to happen, let’s see how they react after this defeat to the Carabao Cup Trophy.

I think Manchester City played better than Arsenal yesterday in the Carabao cup and they deserve to win, but I still  strongly believe that Arsenal will win the premier league. It's not going to be easy, but I believe they must have learnt from what happened in the Carabao cup final and understand that they have to improve their game and also they way they approach games. I think the approach to the final by Arsenal yesterday was not good enough to win the match. You can Starr the second half trying to defend in a final. It's just one game for crying out loud and you have to go for it.
On the premier league I don't believe they will lose the 9 point advantage they have right now, so u expect them to go on and win the premier league, but they have to change their approach to games.

They were not all about defending yesterday, Pep Guardiola reads football more than any other managers in the world. Arsenal defenders are not that creative with the ball, they couldn't use the ball, all city players did was press the enforcers in midfield ( both Declan Rice and Zubimendi ) that way they couldn't pass the ball through to them, removing one man defenderbin the midfield would have solved that, but Mikel Arteta was too stubborn and couple with having his number one goalkeeper dropped. The cup game may have not gone well for them, but this should be use as fuel towards winning the Premier league competition.

[Alex077]

Congratulations to Manchester City I never expected them to win Arsenal and lift the trophy, it came as a big shock to me, I really don’t know what is wrong with Arsenal I was expecting them to win this match but they disappointed me, I just pray Arsenal will be able to lift the premier league trophy and then the FA cup, Arsenal is suppose to lift at least 2 trophies this season, the Arsenal coach is making some mistakes I really don’t understand what kind of orientation is he always giving his boys, with this kind of performance they can’t win the champions league they should put all their attention on the premier league trophy.

Your point is absolutely correct, City's win over Arsenal was a huge shock especially when everyone thought Arsenal would easily take the 3 point

Arteta's tactical moves have been widely criticised recently and they looked completely disorganized from that day's game. However Arsenal are still in the title race quite well. The FA Cup is still up for grabs so as you said the smartest thing to do now is to focus on the league

Do you think the gap with City has already become so wide that it is impossible to close it, or can Arsenal still make a strong run and turn the table?

Arsenal has a poor winning mentality, so how do you expect them to win a treble this season. The only trophy that Arsenal has the higher chances of winning is EPL. They have lost one already or are you dreaming of the Champions League because that's a mission almost impossible for the Gunners because they're not focused.

Arsenal loss from Man City in the EFL Cup final and their performance out from expectation, but for the premier league almost belonged to Arsenal has 9 points gap based on 7 matches left. Impossible Arsenal will loss many points until catch up by Manchester City indeed has one match more and will face Arsenal upcoming two matchday later.
Absolutely Arsenal is the premier league winner for this season and need around three until four winning matches later to be the champion in this season and I don't think bad loss EFL Cup trophy but you win the Premier League tittle, for the Arsenal's fans don't be sad losing previous trophy because you will get premier League tittle.

Time will tell whether Arsenal will be in a precarious position in the Champions League after losing the cup final yesterday. They are currently in a much better and more advantageous position in the Premier League compared to Manchester City. However, it must be said that Manchester City has been very inconsistent lately. Looking at the results of some matches, they have suffered too many surprising point losses this year. This has caused them to fall behind Arsenal. A Premier League title would satisfy Arsenal, but if they also achieve success in the Champions League, then it will be a truly magnificent story.

Why won't they be sad when they last time they win EFL cup was in 1993, and this is the best Arsenal season for over 20 years and yet they couldn't win the EFL cup, it's just an Arsenal thing they don't have the championship mind set because they are not.

I watched the game, and it was terrible Arsenal tried to seat back ,in finals like that you expected to play ball, and not to seat back waiting for  Manchester City attackers that are very good on one on one and attacking. Arsenal are just so lucky that this season Manchester City had so many bad games and Liverpool and Chelsea are not at their best, they're not so good to win the league, the competition this season for the league isn't good enough that's why Arsenal will win it.

Actually, due to Arsenal consistency in the Premier League was what made me put my confidence in them that they will trash City yesterday but I was totally disappointed. I don't think they will be able to win the Champions League finals even if they get there because they will be filled with anxiety and tension.

Tottenham are officially in trouble. It is impossible to understand how a team like that has been languishing near the bottom of the table for the last two years. They have a roaster capable of finishing in the top six and could easily be in contention for a champions league spot, yet they are in a dire situation and risk relegation.
In any case, one of West Ham, Nottingham Forest or Tottenham will have to go down.

Among these trios of West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur, if they says that I should choose one of them that should be relegated, I would be choosing Tottenham Hotspur to get relegated everyday because in never liked them, and I still can't understand how they got here, and the main reason I want them to get relegated is because they failed to learn their lesson from last season.
Nothing significant was done to address why they finished so low, and now they found themselves in the same situation, I am afraid for them because their form is even more worse than this West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, which if they are not careful enough, they might get relegated this season, which will be a massive blow to the club financially and in the transfer market.

Yes, I think is even better than causing a lot disappointment to their fans. Yesterday was the poorest performance from Tottenham Hotspur because they didn't make any difference at all even tough on their home ground and even though they have not been doing well at least they would have proved something reasonable to fans than this horrible result.

But obviously Tottenham Hotspur might likely not be relegated because that would definitely bring a lot of shame to them, so I'm pretty sure that they would definitely do everything possible to escape relegation this season.

Actually, Manchester City really deserved this trophy for thier performances, as they started the competition with thier determination, despite thier weak points at times, thier consistency workouts for them and they won Arsenal, so I knew many people are expecting Arsenal to win due to thier consistent in the league which I was also expecting them to replicate that same dominance in this particular match, although Arsenal seems to be a winner because of their recent performances and thier best form even in other leagues matches, but eventually the result was seems suprises and disappointing to the extent to some people, however Manchester City showed resilience that they were worthy winners 🏆 congratulations to them

[As-Soon-As]

I can't believe West Ham are on the verge of relegation. It came at a good time for Aston Villa, who were in such a bad state.
They had lost three games in a row and needed a win. They dropped from third place, and to stay in the top six, they need to avoid such consecutive defeats.
Aston Villa had so many attempts that two goals was even too few. West Ham's defense and central midfield are quite problematic.

Aston Villa is performing very well in this match, they have also performed very well at home and have defeated West Ham by a large margin. In this match, if I look at the attacks of the two teams, then of course Aston Villa had a total of 23 attacks in the whole game, and the opposing team West Ham United had only 9 attacks. However, Aston Villa was successful in two attacks, but Aston Villa has the success as a hardworking player among the two teams. This season, they have not been able to perform very well, that is why Aston Villa has taken the fourth place from the high level of the point table.

Classy performance by Manchester City yesterday, they used the first half to understand Arsenal weak point then attacked through that area in the second half, Arsenal left wingback was open it gave Manchester City the opportunity to create good chances from there, they took Arsenal by suprise and before they could protect the weak link, Manchester City had already score two goals.

 It's seems most of us raised our expectations high on Arsenal, I also felt their form could give them an advantage but realised that it's not about the form in the league or so when a cup is at stake. Manchester City played better overall and deserved the trophy, congratulations to them.
