Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Stable090]

So if I would mention teams that will do great first, I will mention Arsenal, Manchester city, Liverpool, Manchester united and some others before I will include Chelsea though this is based on what happens last season and it is same squad they have now.

Am expecting a different performance from Chelsea by next season. What affected Chelsea last season was just their coach, when Maresca left Chelsea their performance got worst, and they started losing anyhow. Chelsea just signed a new coach which we feel is going to improve the teams performance, and am sure they going to sign some players also which will improve the teams performance. Chelsea might not be fighting for the premier league title by next season, but am sure they will be able to end the season in a better position.

[Jegileman]

Everyone knows they will still fight for the title, in fact every team at the beginning of the season aims at the title, but aiming at it is never the problem, it is always okay to do that but the main challenge will always be with achieving it, the possibility to achieving it is where most persons begin to express doubts and all that, so Manchester City may actually have that potential and all that but it is also likely they will not achieve it.

Even the weakest of teams in a competition comes with the aim of being able to win the title, even though they know deep inside they may not be able to face up the challenge till the end, they’ll still show some optimism and make sure that they also try.

Along the season, every team begins to adjust and some of them lower their expectations to just finish top four, then to just get a qualification to the Europa League, then to the conference and then just want to remain in the premier league at the end of the season depending on the overall performance of the team that season, that’s how they’ll chose what they’ll likely settle for in the long run.

Manchester City don’t look to be bad even with the new manager they just signed, I’m very sure they’ll try their best to make sure that they get to win the league title once again after missing out on it twice in a row now. Enzo Maresca is not a bad option for a manager, he’ll do well with the nature of player at the team.

Chelsea's performance won't move to a positive side that easy in the next season, in as much as they're not going through any direct financial deficit, blueco is undergoing big loss in finance, which may affect the Chelsea club indirectly, this could lead to selling off players to generate money, which is not a better way to set up a team for success in the premier league. And this the club manager can't always help, unless he has a technique to tackle all forms of challenge that is to come from the top managerial part of the club.

[Unsoldier]

That's how we all believed Jurgen Klopp has kept a good foundation for the upcoming Liverpool manager, with the league half won, then Arne Slot came in with some confused tactics that made we all believed he's a good replacement for Jurgen Klopp, then all of a sudden we saw different thing as the new season begins, even after spending some reasonable amount of money on good players he still failed, so we shouldn't be fast in conclusion that whoever that come to this Manchester City team will succeed, Pep Guardiola might left behind some good players, but the question is how is this players and the new manager is gonna cope in the team? Is it with the same manner they to cope with Pep Guardiola or not? Because relationship with players really matters a lot.

I don't think Arne slot was that bad. When Jurgen Klopp left, he couldn't win the Premier League on his last season even though he almost had the chance but Arne on his appearance he won the Premier League but the following season was bad and the club wasn't having it, they let him go immediately. It seems Liverpool don't want to entertain any form of loss again and they were quick to sack him, I hope they get back what they truly want next season.

I am just thinking how they want to arrange their next players, they have sold most of their players, Konate left Liverpool to join Real Madrid, the same way Trent left Liverpool for Real Madrid. Salah has left the club and he will be going to another, almost the back bone of the club are gone. They will have to start over again to look for supporting players and another coach that can do exactly what they want otherwise this finished migjt even be better than their next.

Arne Slot is a thoroughly good manager. Many people say that he won the Premier League last season riding on Klopp's coattails, but I don't see it that way. Yes, Klopp left a massive legacy at Liverpool, but if Slot were a bad manager, he would have ruined everything. Instead, he not only improved the team's play but also won the Premier League.

I'll be expecting a better Chelsea next season and that's not because I expect a total overhauling of the team by selling off all the current players and signing new ones but the kind of football and tactical approach their new manager Xabi Alonso will introduce at the club. He has proven to be a manager that has all it takes to improve a team and make them competitive and with his exciting style of football, his very likely to succeed in England.

The current squad is made up of quality world class players that are very capable of winning the English Premier League if they can be at their best through out an entire season, that's what I think Xabi Alonso will help them achieve. I've never read about any rumour linking them to any football star this summer but I believe they'll make few additions maybe after the FIFA World Cup tournament.

Enzo Maresca is not a bad option for a manager, he’ll do well with the nature of player at the team.

It's true that Enzo Maresca was Guardiola's assistant coach at Manchester City, so if we were talking about the same squad from when he was an assistant, I would agree that he could fight for the title. But the squad has changed a lot since then, and despite Enzo Maresca winning the Club World Cup and the Conference League with Chelsea, there's a big problem that everyone is ignoring when talking about him.

He made many new signings at Chelsea, and the management didn't limit his spending, which means that if he were as good as Guardiola, with the good financial resources available to Chelsea, he could have fought for the title. But he failed. He constantly changed the starting eleven at Chelsea and will do the same at Manchester City. We will see Manchester City decline and become like Chelsea.

Enzo Maresca may not be as good as Guardiola but his outstanding performance in Chelsea by winning the club world cup against a formidable club like psg truly shows that he will do better in Manchester city. However, am not saying he is going to be like Guardiola but it is wrong for you to think that Manchester city will turn out as Chelsea. I do believe one thing the squad in Manchester city and Chelsea when Enzo Maresca was the coach isn't the same thing. Manchester city stand a chance of contending for the premier League title next season.

The club has already suffered so much damage in their gameplay so I won't be expecting anything special to happen so soon, although with the reputation that beholds the manager I think we should see something of positive results but even if the results don't start coming quickly the fans shouldn't start up any hate because it will be a working process and with time maybe something will come up for them. I can't wait to see the difference though

Yes, Klopp left a massive legacy at Liverpool, but if Slot were a bad manager, he would have ruined everything. Instead, he not only improved the team's play but also won the Premier League.

In the first season he surprised everyone by being able to present the premier league trophy, in the second season lost competitiveness and only competed in the top 4 places. Let's see in the next season with a new coach, if Liverpool returns to compete for the title then it is answered that Arne won the title because of the legacy factor left by the Klopp, if not, then there is something wrong with the Liverpool players, which means the current Liverpool players need to be reshuffled.

Should fans make the familiar error of pressurizing the new coach with criticism on early losses in the new season he'd have a hard time working with the team. His goals at first would be fixing the weakness of the club by studying new and old players compete against other teams, then know the right strategical move suitable for individual players. Chelsea under the new manager will also need time to adjust.

Poor Chelsea has been ruined by filthy-rich owners who’ve been playing at the transfer market without realising that it takes years to build a team that operates as a single unit in football. They’ve ruined everything by buying loads of young players of dubious quality and expecting to win straight away. So, instead of focusing on stability and long-term planning, they’ve chosen to spend a billion dollars on something that doesn’t work. Brilliant...

I personally expect them to be in the title race next season,
A good team
A good coach
No other serious competitions
That is enough reason to win the trophy for a club like Chelsea, although they are not the favorite

[$weetne$$]

Don't judge Chelsea by their performance last season. They lacked a good coach last season, which is why they performed very badly. With the players they have in the current team, Xabi Alonso can take them to the top 6. For this, there must be a good understanding in the team and the team must be taken forward through good player management. I think Xabi Alonso has that ability, he just needs to be given some time. Even you can't say for sure that those who played well last season will play well in the upcoming season, even that is difficult. Because every season we will see the top team play badly and a bad team do well. Every team has its ups and downs in performance.

I will not want to trust so much in xabis ability at the moment and that is because  the state in which Chelsea is now may take some time for them to get in a better position, this is not me doubting the much  he can do with them but I just know it will take some time before  they will be able to achieve much.

I don't know about the long run of the Chelsea team with Xabi Alonso present but one thing I know for sure is that it's going to get rough before it gets better but one thing that doesn't help Xabi Alonso's case is that it feels like the main character coaches are coming on-board next season

Poor Chelsea's performance begin when new owner acquisition from Roman Abramovich to Todd Boehly, he signed many overate players with high fees transfer and giving contract up to six season later as usual under Abramovich era maximum players get contract around three until four years later. During acquisition by Todd Boehly, Chelsea have many time sacking the manager and until right now few years ago after acquisition Chelsea not winning Premier League or Champion League yet.

Spending million dollar every window transfer but most of signing not really effective, its main problem with Chelsea in this season exactly window transfer opening signing until four news players but only one have good performance for the club.

[Adams0001]

I think Manchester City is not the only club that was coached under pep Guardiola, let's start from Barcelona he was in Barcelona he built a very good reputation there and he left and up to this moment Barcelona are still doing best, they're still ranked among one of the best club in the world because of how they play. He went to bayern Munich and he also be a very good reputation there too and up to this moment bayern Munich still remain on top when it comes to selecting best in the world. He came to Manchester City when no one recognize them as the way they are today, but unfortunately he made them popular and achieved more trophy and I'm very confident that they will continue to shine because he lay a very good Legacy there.

Gudiola is a very good coach and any team he coaches always do well in all the competitions and now that he as leave Manchester city he as build the team already the new coach will just continue with is performance, Guardiola as won many trophies in any club he moves to and even he as be move to another club the previous club can still be doing well. But Barcelona have not be good like when Guardiola is in the club and they have a worse coach call xavi he as spoil the club and making Real Madrid doing good and that season and since they sake him the team as get the balance and do well in all the competitions. Flick as won back to back league titles already.

That is what I try to tell most people here, A good coach can change the club positively, but they still insist and stay one the fact that Chelsea does not have experienced players that are old enough to make a good performance.
It's still this same Chelsea that won club world cup under Maresca, this same club that had a streak of winning big teams that have experienced players,
To me even if experienced players can make good impact in the team, I still believe with their present players now they can make good performance to the extent of winning the primer league.

It's unfair to blame Pep for their failure to win the Premier League this season. That's a team that simply underperformed and couldn't maintain consistency. I think Pep has delivered something very good to Manchester City, even though they've already won two trophies this season, is that a failure? While those trophies aren't as prestigious as the league title, they're still a very good achievement.

Have you read everything I said?

I didn't say I was blaming Guardiola, but I made it clearer to other users. So, there's no way I'm going to blame Guardiola or criticize him. I've already acknowledged that he's a great coach capable of delivering numerous trophies to Man City.

[Accardo]

I don't know about the long run of the Chelsea team with Xabi Alonso present but one thing I know for sure is that it's going to get rough before it gets better but one thing that doesn't help Xabi Alonso's case is that it feels like the main character coaches are coming on-board next season

Now is the time for Xabi to do his underground check on the club, I'm sure he's doing that right away to match up with the other top coaches, his competitors. Next seasons feels fresh, a whole new era, where every team must trade carefully, nobody knows what is to come on them, even Arsenal, Man U, and City is not safe, teams like Bournemouth, Brighton, Aston Villa, and Liverpool are all threats to any premier league team.

Yea len01 has his compass right here. Guariola is not to blame, it is the players, if at all, you could blame. Manchester City is not any other Team when you talk about football. However they play, there is so much more and I think Guardiola is a coach who knows how to push his teams beyond limits like nobody else does.
