Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Mr Reporter]

It is too early to judge Alonso, he couldn’t succeed in Real Madrid, you can’t just say that he will succeed in Chelsea because Chelsea is a big team and have been down for long, their expectations are already high which will put him under pressure. He will need time to adapt and the team need to sign some players again for him.
We can come and judge him after one complete season.

Chelsea don’t give their managers time, Alonso will have to start the season or he’ll get sacked like all those before him.

I think a reasonable first season would be to achieve CL qualification.

Well so you think my friend? Well at some points i think you are not worng to some extent well even though it been called Chelsea triggers fingers😂

For a fact I think the only problem Chelsea should be facing is that there squad’s are still young unbalanced, now look at it this way New coach, New system, And same Experience and expectations of instant results from them,

The truth is that Alonso played good football and he had enough time but at Chelsea he should not expect that to happen again for him.

It was a great celebration into the camp of Arsenal because despite all the challenges they went through this season they still came out to win premier League title, if Arsenal team want to win next title, I think the president have to budget some huge amount of funds to hire some players because a lot of teams will challenge teams to make sure what happens this season will not happen again, many teams will definitely going to prepare more than the way they prepare last season, but many teams will surprise some big team that are not well organized.

I don't know the challenges you are talking about that Arsenal went through, Arsenal that was winning back to back last season. At some point everyone almost believe and was somehow convinced they will win plenty trophies this season but honestly they messed up by winning the premier league alone because it was not enough and impressing considering the kind of form they were and how many finals they played last season season.

The bookies used the performance of all the club in the premier league this season to decide the club to win the premier league title next season, and since Arsenal was the club that did so well and they also won this season's premier league title, that is why the bookies still see Arsenal as the club to win the premier league title next season. Even if Arsenal were the strongest team these season the bookies should have seen Arsenal as the favourite, because plenty of big club would do well next season and the competition for the premier league title would be intense, so i think it is difficult to predict the club that will win the premier league title next season.

You're correct, they are using the current performance of the clubs to set odds for next season, that's how they always do it, by using current form and as the match day progresses that's how the odds will be changing depending on the performance of the teams in front. Sometimes I wonder why teams like Brighton, Leeds and other lower teams are being given odds to win the league, I think they are not really considered in winning it that's why they set a very high odd for them. Someday, one of these lower teams might pull a Leicester city kind of performance and win the league.

[whiteblue]

Of course, Xabi Alonso needs time to work on the team and improve their performance because he didn't meet the club in a good form. I cannot wait to see how Chelsea performance will be like under his management of the team because Chelsea has good players but lack a good coach

Xabi Alonso's struggle to bring change to Chelsea next season will be a concern for football fans. As a former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen manager, he certainly has extensive experience building and managing teams filled with star players.

At Chelsea, he will be tasked with bringing change, at least targeting qualification for next season champions league. With the players already in place, chelsea is certainly a team with star players in their squad. Alonso tactics and strategy could certainly change chelsea style of play next season. I don't think it will be too difficult for him to bring change to chelsea, but only if he is given time and full support.

Seriously the way Arsenal was winning most of their games back to back nobody’s expected them that they will not win more than one trophies this season because their performances was very impressive in the league, which is why everyone was hope for them to win more than one trophies. But unfortunately it was happen that’s why they said that the football is unpredictable, nobody can tell what will be the actual outcome of the season.

Yeah, Arsenal didn’t went through any challenges their season was a bit better than last seasons that they only finished up in the second position. If you look how their performances go well in the champion league nobody will believe that they won’t win the champion league join.

[Amphenomenon]

Chelsea squad issues is not just majorly because our squad are filled with young players. There are other players doing well with growth and are consistent, not like we experience with some players and the change in manager is not really an excuse here.

Also, some of these players shouldn't be at Chelsea since the pressure can be too much for them to bear and some actually lack good ball knowledge or mentorship. It's not about going for youngsters but providing proper directors for growth and the class one is going for.

Arsenal and fans were the delusional set of fanbase that believed they could win a quadruple last season, it suddenly kept going down until they were left with just two on the table, gracefully they were able to grab one and on the final day, Arsenal lost the most important trophy which would have crowned their season a perfectly successful one.

Overall what transpired, Arsenal were confidently outstanding and deserved the Premier League more than any other club that competed for the title race. I'm not certain for next season if they can win again, but they are unarguably going to stand out to defend the title.

Are u really serious that Arsenal messed up by winning only the premier league title,  so you not satisfied with the premier league which they won? Honestly if Manchester city performed  so well at the beginning of the season, Arsenal might have not won the premier league title last season, but Manchester city were not in their best form at the beginning of the season, they were not consistent in matches, their performance got better at the end of the season, and it was already late.

Let’s see how many trophies Arsenal will be able to win by next season, maybe they will be able to win both premier league and champions league, maybe they will be able to win 1 trophy or maybe they not going to win any trophy.

And its affecting them, changing of managers frequently will no make the team performance stable because any managrr will come with thier own strategy that he think will work for him, that is why they need to keep one coach and give him enpugh timw before to see uf he is capable of managing the team. But bringing in new coach and change affter been decided to work with him in a short period of time, he is another thing different.

[KingsDen]

Yes you are right, the first season is a challenge for most coaches, so expecting the coach to do something big seems a bit excessive, after all Xabi came at a time when Chelsea was in a slump so it took time to build a solid squad, I don't know if this is true or not, because there are rumors that Xabi and Chelsea have targeted several players especially for the central area and wing attackers, one that caught my attention was Bernardo Silva, but I also think whether he really deserves to be targeted by Chelsea, given his age.

Expecting a perfect result from a manager seems too demanding for me, especially when it's his first season, and in a league he is not common with. Chelsea is used to sacking managers after some few underperformance, but i think they will give Xabi some more time before expecting positive results. Xabi Alonso is a good manager, and I think he will do well with Chelsea, but if only Chelsea can be patient enough with him.

The rumour of Chelsea interest in Bernado Silva is false. Beenado silva is heavily interested in signing for a club either in Laliga or the Portuguese league.

Yes constant changing of coaches at times contributes to a  team weakness at time but in other hand it exposes that same team to different tactical technique that will help them scale through in difficult times.
In most games it appears very difficult to face an opponent because they understand once game pattern but for those that are exposed to different game pattern it is easy for them to switch over.
Although there is one thing I see in football,  which is at all times unexpected things do happen.  Some team may lose consistency because of constant changing of coaches while others may do completely well when that happens but the truth is constant changing of coaches is not good.

Arsenal had a smooth sail last season, if I can remember correctly the only tough time they went through was when they got to the final lap and Manchester city started closing in on them and even ended up surpassing them at one point. Everyone thought that would be the end of arsenal but fortunately they still won the title.

Chelsea actually need to stop changing their coach without giving enough time because the result will not come as the fans and the managemnt want it to be. Must be a gradual process before he get the team back to a good performance as all the fans want.

So Alonso need to make sure things workout between him and Chelsea,  so he will stay for a long time, because I know Chelsea if he unable to make things workout for Chelsea they will definitely sack him.

Just that at some point Arsenal was no longer consistent and all hope was already lost, and from the beginning they gave people the hope of winning, but in the long run they started losing games so with all this controvercies i knew they would eventually win, but what I was expecting them to even win was the Champions League because if they had won, everywhere would still be bubbling.

Because just winning the Premier League alone, see the way there was celebration, very good, and even those who were not Arsenal fans were happy because Arsenal won the Premier League. Let's hope that there will be more this coming so that they don't end up behaving like liverpool that after winning the premier league they, started struggling, and this was not even expected at all, but hopefully Arsenal will not behave that way.

You're correct, they are using the current performance of the clubs to set odds for next season, that's how they always do it, by using current form and as the match day progresses that's how the odds will be changing depending on the performance of the teams in front. Sometimes I wonder why teams like Brighton, Leeds and other lower teams are being given odds to win the league, I think they are not really considered in winning it that's why they set a very high odd for them. Someday, one of these lower teams might pull a Leicester city kind of performance and win the league.

Wondering why other lower and average teams appear on the prediction table for teams likely to win the title, it is normal to add those teams because at the very beginning of the season, despite their form and depth, they are all give equal chances at the title, and football is a game that comes with too many uncertainty and so you can be surprised to see a team you least expected beginning to come off as a title contender, so it is only fair to include them in the chances possible.

In football games, sometimes the team that is predicted to win may not be true. All teams have the opportunity to win because the team below them can replace players or change their playing tactics and that is enough if they compete in the next season. The team that improves the team has a big chance, at least they will get a higher ranking than before.

arsenal does have a strong squad and a strong squad, and it's natural that some people expected them to win many trophies this season. Unfortunately, Arsenal only managed to win one trophy, the EPL. However, in my opinion, Arsenal only being able to win one trophy this season is still a good thing compared to last season, when I remember them not winning a single trophy

In this season's Champions League, I expected Arsenal to win the final against pSG and become champions because arsenal performed very well, as evidenced by their penalty shootout victory over psg But this is football, which is always full of surprises Now I'm curious about Arsenal's performance next season, whether they will be even better or not

[len01]

Xabi Alonso's struggle to bring change to Chelsea next season will be a concern for football fans. As a former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen manager, he certainly has extensive experience building and managing teams filled with star players.

What concerns football fans is the expectation that Alonso must take Chelsea to a higher level with the current squad, a team that is still completely unproven and has not yet established a solid foundation. In other words, it is a young squad that has only recently undergone a major rebuild. On the other hand, competition in the EPL is very different from that in La Liga or the Bundesliga. Because of that, many people are speculating that Alonso may struggle in his first season.

It's better for fans not to worry about Xabi Alonso next season because many are already worried about the team that will compete next season before the season starts.

Every coach definitely wants the best for the team he trains especially the reputation that Alonso has made me very sure that Chelsea for next season will be one of the teams that must be watched out for by other teams who in recent seasons have always dominated the top of the standings in the EPL competition so that with the presence of Alonso Chelsea will again become a team that will be respected by many teams and I think Alonso will be successful with the team nicknamed The Bues even though many say that Alonso will be difficult in his first season but I am very sure that Alonso will develop in this team and for the management to give time to the coach who was once a Liverpool player.

Well so you think my friend? Well at some points i think you are not worng to some extent well even though it been called Chelsea triggers fingers😂

For a fact I think the only problem Chelsea should be facing is that there squad’s are still young unbalanced, now look at it this way New coach, New system, And same Experience and expectations of instant results from them,

The truth is that Alonso played good football and he had enough time but at Chelsea he should not expect that to happen again for him.

The point is, Chelsea currently wants quick results, because after Chelsea was bought by a new owner, Chelsea's direction has changed slightly and they no longer respect the existing process. Because, basically, until this season, Chelsea has changed coaches several times, and that is clearly not a good thing, because basically, a new coach will definitely bring a new training system and that will make the players at Chelsea have to continue to adapt. So,, even though Xabi is currently the coach at Chelsea, I don't think we can currently accurately predict whether Chelsea will play well or not.

Because basically, the English Premier League is clearly a football league with very tough competition. So, because of that,, Xabi's current task will definitely be more difficult than at Real Madrid. Because basically, at Real Madrid, many players are already senior, but Xabi is still struggling. So you can imagine the current situation at Chelsea, as we know, with so many young players, which will certainly make Xabi's job even more complicated. But yes, even so, I hope that Xabi can make Chelsea an even greater team, because that will definitely be better because the competition in the Premier League will definitely be even more exciting if Chelsea performs well,, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens next season.
