Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

Irrespective of all that, Man City was a clear stronger team in that match, and I wonder what Arsenal would have done to turn the table around.

It was very obvious what Manchester City's coach did to win that game which was using a four man press against Arsenal's second choice goalkeeper who is clearly not very good on his feet. If Manchester City repeats the same strategy against Arsenal in the Premier League it may not be as successful as the expect because David Raya who is their first choice goalkeeper he's a better player on his feet than Kepa and can easily break the press with a pass through, and Arteta must have made that observation already. I hear news of Arsenal players ditching International call up with injury news, I think it is the best call if they want to win the league.

Forest has been impressive in recent matches as they had shown that they have what it takes to come up against teams that may be considered as top side like Tottenham. I was not expecting that Forest will get all three points against a team like Tottenham even though, Tottenham has not been on a great form in recent it only shows the quality that Forest has in the team, Forest has been great so far this season.


Forest is still in the Europa League and will be playing FC Porto in the quarter finals of the competition. Let see how Forest will come up against a top European team like Porto I believe that Forest can make it to the finals of the Europa League from what I am seeing forest play in recent games.

Exactly, Arsenal's is very ahead of other teams, which they are currently leading and ahead of Manchester City. Though, they might not be putting effort the way fan's ought them to do, and also they might not be giving up despite their loss to Manchester City, which they have hope to win in their next match and they can also win the league as well, one can never tell how it will end, because anything can happen in match. That is why we have to keep watching and see how the league will end.

Yes it's very important for Arsenal not be weak because for their loss in against Manchester City in Carabao final. Because if they play their remaining premier league matches with weak performance, honestly that will cause them more disasters. Premier league is Arsenal biggest trophy that they have hope to lift this season, so in my opinion they should put more focus on it than even champions league. If Arsenal can win Manchester City I'm sure premier league trophy will be theirs and if otherwise, there's going to be a big problem. Mikel Arteta messed up in Carabao cup but I hope he didn't make that same mistake again.

Arsenal are the alpha and omega in the premier league now. The ball is in their court to decide who gets to win the premier league trophy. Can they win it or they’ll lose it like other season and allow Manchester City to take over the league title like they’ve always done even in the past. Manchester City are looking very strong and are not looking like they’ll give up on this title fight until the very end. Arsenal just got to be on the lead now and I think this is an advantage to them that they need to hold onto as it is very important for them to cling the premier league title. I’m not an Arsenal fan but if they lose this years premier league, I’ll be saddened for them and feel bad that they lost it so cheaply when it is within their reach.

Nottingham Forest in all indication are suppose to beat Tottenham hotspur with no doubt judging from their current form i literary bet on Nottingham Forest to win the game and it went as predicted so i was never surprise, and i believe all this talk are just because Nottingham Forest has lost form they are not like that of last season else who would be expecting Tottenham hotspur to do anything tangible in that game, and for the match against FC Porto i can't really predict because they have been quite amazing in that competition so it's left for the game to decide.

What's Tottenham fate?

The last two pages of this thread is dominated by Arsenal and Manchester City discussion. It seems no one longer care about Tottenham.

Is this really where Tottenham suppose to be in the Premier League? Since last season, Tottenham has drastically declined beyond imagination. Last season, they managed to score underrated goal to beat Manchester United in the Europa league final even though they finished the season mid table. This season, it gets worse as they're heading to relegation.

I can't imagine Tottenham have played more games than the points they have this season. Played 31 games and have 30 points.

Spurs has only one point gap to Westham. So it's likely they're gonna move down. It's because of i see no chance for them to win against Arsenal. So we can expect them to have zero points in the upcoming game.

It's spurs fate to end in the Championship next season. They changed coaches a few times, and it's never worked. I've heard they're also planning to bring another former french league team to replace Tudor as interim.

I see it as a wasteful effort.  It's likely they're getting relegated soon. It's the result when they appoint stupid people (Lange and Vinai) to be on their management.

[RockBell]

Although Arsenal fans were laughing at Manchester United fans during their bad days, they laughed at them under Amorim and Ten Hags when they were unable to finish among the top four. But as a Manchester United fan, I’m not happy about the result from the final, honestly, I did not support Manchester City to win the trophy because it been a long time since Arsenal won a trophy last, they have been fighting for it, so I think they should lift a trophy this season.

And the same thing they were doing to Arsenal fans, so there is no difference when it comes to what you said and it go to a point that the situation of Manchester united was a very difficult one to handle because after bringing in different coaches and they still could not get results then that is obviously very bad but its good that they have now improved and they are seriously applauding and the fact they are going to be finishing among the top three is a good one, at least they are getting the result they want.

However, it was very bad for Arsenal to have some players injured before the match, Eze and Timber were out for the final, but that shouldn’t be the reason why they lost the match. Arsenal do not have the experience of playing a final game as Manchester City, otherwise, they had a better squad than Manchester City. Arteta should have used Raya as the starting goalkeeper, I don’t understand why Kepa started the match.

and arsenal should be ready to handle whatever we might be looking at because we are at the point where there is no suppose to any excuse because the goal is for us to win there premier league there is no going back at all, and now we have to be  focused, and we have a better chance than Manchester city and we still lost but hopefully i still believe we are going to be able to win the premier league so that i can make fun of a lot of people.

I hear news of Arsenal players ditching International call up with injury news, I think it is the best call if they want to win the league.

As terrible as Kepa was in that match, let us not quickly judge that Man City can't do it in the Premier Legaue, I know Raya is an exceptional goal keeper but he still let's some ball in. It might not come from Nico O'Reilly but Man City still has a chance to win the match.

Concerning the players ditching call ups it's not actually good because same players were having hard ons to play for the National Team are now running for it.

Nottingham Forest in all indication are suppose to beat Tottenham hotspur with no doubt judging from their current form i literary bet on Nottingham Forest to win the game and it went as predicted so i was never surprise, and i believe all this talk are just because Nottingham Forest has lost form they are not like that of last season else who would be expecting Tottenham hotspur to do anything tangible in that game, and for the match against FC Porto i can't really predict because they have been quite amazing in that competition so it's left for the game to decide.

I wasn't confident of Nottingham Forest winning as it was Tottenham's home game, but I was confident of Tottenham winning or a draw. But I wasn't surprised by the result at all, both teams have been struggling this season and are in a bit of a slump. Both teams have been in a bit of a slump in form recently, so neither team is guaranteed to win, so I usually ignore these matches.

After being eliminated from the Champions League competition, of course Man City's focus is now solely on the Premier League. They now have a great motivation to catch up with Arsenal, but on the other hand, Arsenal also has the same ambition, which is to win the Premier League title. So I think Arteta has to focus on one of them because it is impossible to target both, unless over time there is an advantage for them, and in terms of likelihood, the Premier League is the most feasible title to obtain. So I am quite confident in Arsenal this season; I believe they will succeed this season in winning the Premier League title.

Manchester City really tormented the Premier league teams very well, what is happening to them now is normal, I wouldn't be too hard on them even as everyone were saying that last season performance was as a result of Guardiola marital issues with his wife and the rumor divorce but that's more than what was going on in the team. The desire to win is there but they don't have adequate team to make consistent winning, that's what make difference between now and then.

At least, they loss in the Champions League and recently won Carabao, that shows they still have it in the team. Team that literally stable and active in the Premier league should be able to bottled that in first half but Arsenal couldn't even challenge them. That means Arsenal aren't that special as they think, they were just fortunate to be better ahead of them with performance in the end beginning of the season.

Yes it's very important for Arsenal not be weak because for their loss in against Manchester City in Carabao final. Because if they play their remaining premier league matches with weak performance, honestly that will cause them more disasters. Premier league is Arsenal biggest trophy that they have hope to lift this season, so in my opinion they should put more focus on it than even champions league. If Arsenal can win Manchester City I'm sure premier league trophy will be theirs and if otherwise, there's going to be a big problem. Mikel Arteta messed up in Carabao cup but I hope he didn't make that same mistake again.

This is Arsenal's match schedule in the Premier League so from here we can see which matches are very important. In my personal opinion, there is only one important match against Manchester City even if Arsenal lose the match, it doesn't close their chances of winning the title this season because they are still 6 points ahead, but if Arsenal loses 2 matches then their chances become 50:50 . I personally still believe in Arsenal, this has been their dream for years so it would be silly for them to miss it when it is only one step away, It's also a great time to break the curse of poor results at the end of the season.

As terrible as Kepa was in that match, let us not quickly judge that Man City can't do it in the Premier Legaue, I know Raya is an exceptional goal keeper but he still let's some ball in. It might not come from Nico O'Reilly but Man City still has a chance to win the match.

Pep really pulled a fast one on Arteta. His tactic of letting Arsenal’s back 4 have the ball, sitting off them, blocking passing lanes was brilliant. Arsenal’s back 4 didn’t know what to do with the ball, they didn’t have a clue. It was a genius tactical ploy which really showed Arteta up for the limited manager he is.

Arsenal performance in the premiere league competition is really on another level. They are ahead of all the teams in the premier league and right now there is no sign of weakness in Arsenal, I believe they will take this competition very serious without even saying much about it.

they have high hope of winning this team and since there is still matches to be played, they will try everything to see that they continue securing some good points in their matches, so they will go head of the team more and give more gaps.

[LUCKMCFLY]

At that time, Man City had a well-established squad and didn't make many changes in any position. The situation is different now, with many new positions, new players, and instability that Pep Guardiola hasn't been able to manage when implementing attacks. Man City backline isn't as solid as it once was, so the gap is clearly visible. Therefore I'm not convinced Man City can do the same to Arsenal this season as they did to Liverpool.

I understand and you're right, there's an ingredient missing from Pep's team. I hope he can achieve that balance in defense ,Right now, the Premier League is very exciting This week will be relaxed simply because there will be international friendlies on the road to the World Cup, but even so, I think we need more action Last week was full of exciting things: the Champions League, league matches. It's a good break.

Inasmuch as I don't like when people over praise Arsenal and being there biggest critic, I would say they really there weight this season, and if they win after all, it shows that Arteta did all he could to secure it even compromising the whole system of play to do it.

Looking at it, Man City isn't that far behind, if they win there next match, 4 points isn't that far behind to day Arsenal are another level, especially for team that is afraid

[beerlover]

Arsenal would of course want to win the cup, who wouldn't, but at the same time it's the smallest tournament they were in, it wasn't mattering to anyone. The importance list is that UCL and Premier league are the most important, to some UCL is more important and to some PL is more important, but for sure they are the top two, after that FA cup which is okay to win if you can, but if you do not win that but win one of the top two like win premier league but lose fa cup that's fine too.

EFL is nothing, that's like, if you are 13th place and win then you would be happy about it, nothing more. This is why while it would be fine to win and surely be happy to win, it doesn't really matter if you lose because you won't be sad, they are leading the league anyways.

[justinlamode]

I think it’s the matches in the International break that might set them backwards than the lose to Manchester City, Arsenal fans should be worried about important players going for international break to sustain injuries or return back and lose form cause of fatigue. Just like Manchester United and few other clubs are doing they could block some of their important players from going to play for their country  especially those who's country has already qualified for the World Cup cause if what I talked about happens then it would be big problem for Arsenal when they return.

You are expressing concern for Arsenal over something that is not peculiar to them since we know that players deom other clubs are also going for national duties and not only Arsenal players. It is therefore not right to express pessimism for Arsenal players especially on the aspect of injuries concerns. I know that majority of their players will be involved but that will just be like other international breaks, nothing special.

I hear news of Arsenal players ditching International call up with injury news, I think it is the best call if they want to win the league.

There are many questions begging answers from Arteta.

• Why did Manchester City appear stronger when but squads were very solid without injuries
• Why did Arteta start Arizagbalaga for a final match when he had Raya
• Why didn't Arsenal approach the match aggressively like a final, they played like a secondary school inter house sports

To the best of my knowledge, Arsenal is better than Manchester city for this season, why did the final look differently?

Arsenal may joke with other competition to lose the title but premier League title, I don't think Arsenal will joke with this title this season because they have made up their mind to use what it takes to win this premier League title, you don't have to worry yourself towards this premier League title because Arsenal is in a good position to win this title no matter what Manchester City and other teams will going to perform in the future, even though they don't want to be serious in this premier League, I know their coach will going to force them to improve to make sure they win this tittle.

[Somto9Light]

Tottenham's time is up, they are no longer competitive in the Premier League and even getting points is very difficult for them, even West Ham might eventually be able to get out of the relegation zone and will be replaced by Tottenham because their current condition is so bad. We don't know what the future will be, but if they end up staying in the Premier League it will be lucky, but if they are relegated then it will be the best thing for them

Well, they have also try their best, its not easy to keep entertaining people, even though they are not really impressing their fans. If they don't win this current league, they might put more effort in their skills and rebuild their team and do the necessary adjustments, so that they can really achieve their goals or purpose. And also, its important to knowledge that some setbacks happens in order for people to know what they are doing and to come back stronger.
