Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

You're right, as a team they've failed, they've gone from rags to rags a lot.
I have no idea if he has financial problems, certainly the team has become more unstable over the months to become what it is now.
Life is like stairs, someone goes down and someone goes up.

I think since the times of Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea has never been the same again, if I recall very well. That coincided with the time Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the club due to that Ukrainian-Russian war.

The only manager that did try to bring a couple of trophies was Enzo Maresca, and since then the change of management has been a disaster. I believe it will only get worse with this current club ownership.

A lot if fans criticized me when I mentioned that they made a mistake sacking Enzo Maresca but I saw a lot in him that I haven't seen in many coaches that coached Chelsea. He gave Chelsea a structure, a style and managed the players well enough and brought out the best in many players.

The team wasn't at its peak but they improved way ahead of how they were before Maresca was appointed. I wonder how some people failed to see the improvement and still criticized him. He won some trophies which was a sign that things will get better with him but they ended up sacking him. I just hope they don't keep making the mistake of appointing the wrong manager.

Why should you feel sorry for Chelsea? This is not pressure from the EPL, it’s mainly the fault of the owner and some of the club management who made Chelsea end up like this. So there’s no need to worry or feel bad for the team because all these problems started from the club owner’s poor decisions. As long as Chelsea is still owned by the current owner, the results will probably stay the same in the coming seasons.

Yes, it must be a consequence that must be accepted by Chelsea players and also the club because they made the wrong decision in replacing the coach, they are inconsistent in setting team management so that the lack of motivation and philosophy of competing on the field, changing coaches too often is also not a good decision proof.
From the start of irregular transfers, changing coaches and many of these Chelsea problems make everything chaotic, even though they can just have a little hope in the middle of the season now slump again.

Many expected Atletico Madrid to win, but Arsenal proved them wrong. In fact, Arsenal were the favorites in the first leg in England, so their progression isn't surprising. When it comes to the final, every team wants to win.

I wonder why anyone would have concluded that Atletico Madrid will be the one to go through and not even give Arsenal a chance of qualifying to the final. I think it could have gone either ways before the match, but if I had to pick a team to qualify to the final,  I would have picked Arsenal,  because they have been very good in this competition and has not even lost a match, so I wonder why anyone will just say that Atletico Madrid would go through.  Like I said I saw it as a 50/50 and I also think Atletico Madrid did well in both legs, but Arsenal had yo go through,  because they are a little better and for the final, I am very sure that most people will favor PSG, but I don't think Arsenal is a pushover, so I still think it's a 50/50 game.

For Burnley I'd say Arsenal will dominate them from the start of the game to the end but you see this other team West Ham and Crystal Palace I do not think Arsenal will get pass them that easy, that is where the problem lies. West Ham is next and with how Arsenal are still celebrating I just hope it won't get into their head and they will have to go out there and lose that game. If they can win West Ham then the job is almost done against the club chasing them for the title and it will be City beating themselves for not getting the job done.

Crystal Palace is one team that always shows very strong resistance when they meet big teams like this, Arsenal is no small side and have had really good performance and have the title in view with the recent winnings they been having, they are definitely in a very solid form and psychology so Crystal Palace may not be exactly a tough for them but then Arsenal needs not underestimate them.

The main reason for Chelsea's failure this  season is their manager. They cannot find experienced managers. And the room strategy didn't work well either. I say this because at the start of this season chelsea have spent huge amounts of money on player purchases. And t hey also have a lot of talented players in their squad. Anyway, Chelsea's performances have been  erratic. Chelsea have no chance of qualifying for the champions league. The team is ninth in the  points table. Chelsea are currently the only team in the premier league who have lost 6 matches in a row.

Arsenal has a better chance of winning them because they have been playing very well and for the fact that Manchester city have drawn to Everton that we give them the mindset that they need a win the match and again for the fact that they won Atletico Madrid that we also give them the strength and the mindset of pushing for a win in that match so I believe they have everything it takes to win the match in fact to win the rest of their match and lift the Premier league title, the Premier league title is in their hands right now. All they need to do is to win all their matches, which is the three matches remaining and then win the title they deserve it they have really done well.

The mistake of choosing a replacement coach after Maresca departure is the reason why Chelsea are underperforming, they were impatient with Maresca, even though he made positive developments, indeed at the beginning of the season under him Chelsea experienced some decline but even when the new replacement coach came, they were even worse. Now they are so far away from the UCL league that even the Europa league doesn't look like it's going to happen. What needs to be done now is to focus on finding a new coach more carefully so as not to make the same mistakes.

If Manchester city could continue their winning  streak, it would not have been  possible for arsenal to win the title. But City could  not win against Everton. That is why if arsenal can play well in the next matches, they will be the ones to win the  title.

City will play Crystal Palace, prentford, bournemouth and Aston Villa in their last 4  matches. Bournemouth and Aston villa are quite strong teams. City is likely to lose points in both matches.
On the other hand, Arsenal will play against relatively easy opponents. Arsenal will play against West Ham, Crystal palace and Burnley in their last three matches.

Arsenal have lost the trust of the fans. As long as Arsenal are not winning the title, I cannot trust them in any way. Arsenal have had many opportunities to win the title before, but they have wasted those opportunities miserably. Especially at the end of the season, I cannot trust them at all. The title is still uncertain for Arsenal before the end of the season, they can lose the title at any time by unexpectedly losing the match, City have not given up hope of winning the title yet, although they have also failed to take advantage of the opportunities repeatedly.

You are absolutely correct, all Arsenal need to do now is win all their game that is if they actually want to win the premier league this season because they have been in the position to win this league for seasons now and they have not been able to..., I don't know what is that barrier but currently they are at the verge of winning it again this season I hope it doesn't slip from them because any mistake ( draw or lose) will jeopardize everything for them.

The club was getting feed up with all the inconsistency and they decided to try out the option of getting a replacement for him and well it was too bad that the results is not what they actually expected although the games after Liam took over initially had some prospects and I for one thought that they were on the right track but in the end everything just crumbled to the floor as they couldn't just meet up at all.

On the other hand, Arsenal will play against relatively easy opponents. Arsenal will play against West Ham, Crystal palace and Burnley in their last three matches.

It's still uncertain whether City will lose their remaining matches, because City has the advantage of playing at home in their remaining 3 matches and 1 away.. so they might win the remaining matches with the advantage and mentality they have. while Arsenal, they still need to face PSG in the champions league, so it's possible that in this case Arteta will make a mistake that makes them only able to win 2 matches out of their remaining 3 matches. so I think that the fight for the premier league trophy is not over yet, and there might be scenarios that will emerge that make the competition between City and Arsenal even more intense.

Different media with different news, some said he resigned based on mutual agreement and some are saying he was sacked, the truth of thos matter is that Chelsea messed up, they left a good coach for someone that's inexperienced, I don't think Enzo Maresca would've been in this position if he was still the coach.

 If Enzo wasn't good enough would he had won trophies he won for the club? They weren't even patient to allow him reorganize the team with an assurance that they'll do better in the next transfer window, so far they've waisted lots of money due to a terminated contract with two managers, now they'll be spending another big money to get a quality manager.

If Chelsea hadn’t fired Enzo Maresca, theyy might still be in the top four right now. Unfortunately, they did fire him. I actually think Maresca had successfully led Chelsea to some remarkable results, such as winning the Club World Cup and the Europa Conference League. back then, Chelsea was even a team that could give PSG a run for their money. But the current Chelsea struggles even against mediocre teams.
I won’t blame the current coach. because managing a team with such a deep squad often presents significant challenges. There are over 40, even more than 50, players at this club. I think evaluating and analyzing every player is a heavy burden. So it’s very rare to find a coach like Enzo Maresca who can actually make the most of it. Meanwhile, I think an average coach would actually struggle to allocate playing time among the players. Consequently, some experiments could even lead the team to defeat, as is currently happening.

Arsenal has lost the trust of the fans, i disagree with you on this because they are now very close to winning the PL title and recently reached the final of the Champions League by beating ATM in the second leg and this team is going to face PSG in the UCL final. It's a bit challenging for this team to actually win the Premier League title because I know they have to win three consecutive games in their hand, then this team will have the taste of winning the trophy in the 2025/26 PL season. On the other hand, we can see that they will also have to be prepared to handle the pressure in the UCL final because their opponent there is a big team, PSG and you may have noticed this team is so experienced that even with a small chance, they have the ability to defeat Arsenal in the UCL final.

Arsenal did well by winning against Atletico Madrid, and a lot of people did not see this coming, not even me, but I'm sure that since they are able to make it happen, then winning the Champions League should not scare them. They know that PSG is going to be a problem in some way, but they should find a way of taking things more seriously than usual. They have to make sure they are deploying some of their best squad on the ground so that they will get the best result.

From the look of things, the way Arteta is working so hard just to make sure that Arsenal can win more than one trophy, and now everyone is looking up to them to win the Champions League because they are the ones currently representing us, and how they won against Atletico Madrid was amazing, and the way it is, I saw it coming, but because of how badly they have performed, people are finding it hard to just trust them just like that.

A lose from City or Arsenal can decide the winner of the title. Mathematically, A lose from Arsenal can push City to have one point lead if City win the rest of games. Meanwhile, a point lose from City can also make Arsenal becomes the winner.

So the competition is still far away until the last game unless either of club get a lose. Let's see what club that will bottle the battle here.

Beside that many said Arsenal already win the league because of easier fixtures owned by them compared to City, but let's see how it goes.

Arsenal is more in danger than Manchester City because the reason why i said this is that Arsenal must avoid losing any match till the end of the season, that is only what will save them because even if they draw any of their match, it is possible that Manchester City might later surpass them with one point or in goals difference since they have the strength to score many goals than Arsenal. Anyway, Arsenal is at ease now after qualifying for the UCL finals, so they won't need to stress themselves again in any other match apart from the EPL matches. In other hand, Manchester City has a bigger task, they have a match in hand which they need a win because any other result apart from winning that match will automatically make Arsenal the title favorite. Arsenal is 5 points ahead, it gives them confidence and morale unlike when they were equal points with City.

Yes,, Tottenham is currently in 17th place, just one point behind the team in 18th place. It's clear that Tottenham's position isn't secure yet, as one mistake will surely send them back into the relegation zone. I hope Tottenham won't be relegated this season,, as it would be a real shame for such an elite team to be relegated from the Premier League. But looking at Tottenham's current performance and the remaining matches they face,, I'm a little worried about them.

Tottenham's remaining Premier League matches will see them face Chelsea and Everton. So,, this will clearly be a significant threat to Tottenham,, as Chelsea and Everton are both performing quite well. The proof is that Everton held Manchester City to a draw yesterday, a clear demonstration of their formidable form. That's why I'm personally quite worried about Tottenham right now. But hopefully,, Tottenham can weather this storm and avoid relegation this season.

Very close to West Ham on 36 points, so i wouldn't say they are safe.
Facing Chelsea is not as serious as facing other teams before, so he can manage to win and better with Everton who in my opinion is not stronger than Chelsea.
We also have to see what West Ham does.

Another upset 6th consecutive loss for Chelsea in the premier league. Nottingham forest nets 3 goals against them. As the first half started Awoniyi scored an early opening goal and in the 15th minute Jesus stepped up and scored penalty making it 2-0 for Forest although Chelsea ball possession was 68% 1.13 xG , 1 big created but missed. As the second half started Awoniyi scored brace and made it 3-0 for Forest and in this half Chelsea kept 67% possession as well but got only 1 goal in the added time 90+3' by Pedro absolutely stunning ball control and bicycle kick . Now they are out and it seems impossible for Chelsea to get in the Champions league next season but they can fight for Europa league

Arsenal stands a better chance of winning the premier League now because Manchester city may not be consistent in winning there remaining matches and they have already drawn with Everton which a red flag and if Arsenal can be able to win all there matches then there won't be any chance for Manchester city.
The champions League final is going to be very difficult for Arsenal especially since they will be playing against PSG which is very experience and also they have remaining matches that they also needs to win in other to be able to win the premier League.

A lot if fans criticized me when I mentioned that they made a mistake sacking Enzo Maresca but I saw a lot in him that I haven't seen in many coaches that coached Chelsea. He gave Chelsea a structure, a style and managed the players well enough and brought out the best in many players.

The team wasn't at its peak but they improved way ahead of how they were before Maresca was appointed. I wonder how some people failed to see the improvement and still criticized him. He won some trophies which was a sign that things will get better with him but they ended up sacking him. I just hope they don't keep making the mistake of appointing the wrong manager.

Enzo Maresca was on the path of success for Chelsea and they made a very big mistake be sacking him and bringing in another coach that made their situation worse. Coaches since their bad times in the league competition, but that shouldn't make management always coming into conclusion that the manager will fail them when it is very clear that he improved their performance before and also handed over a trophy win after his appointment, even that is enough to keep him.

I felt after Abramovich sold the Chelsea Football Club to its new owner now, we would see a reduction in how they sack their coaches but unfortunately, they’re are still the same and this new management even sacks more than the former management under Abramovich. Chelsea right now needs a more experienced coach than they have now because only with that can they have a better improvement in their games. I never thought Chelsea won’t make it to the champions league this season after winning the FIFA World Cup trophy, I thought things will get better but it never did.
