Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Well this is very much possible, Manchester City boys can not forget in a hurry what they have been taught by pep beside pep just left not long ago so the team is much intact and will likely be working with the ideology of Pep at the moment so it is easy for them to continue with that spirit i mean what they are use to, thats why the new manager should not be in a hurry to change the pplay pattern of the team for now, even though he has such plans, it should be a gradual process, if he also find out that the team is used to pep schooling, I don't think there's anything with playing that pattern as long as it gives them what they want.

Manchester City is certainly a very strong team and i don't think they have become poor with the departure of Pep Guardiola, this must enter everyone's mind, it's not that if a manager leaves a team falls into disrepair, on the contrary i am convinced that they can achieve the same results even without him.

I trust my club, they will give me the best assurance that they can because Pep has trained boys, and I know that they will do well, and Pep is still around the corner, just that he won't be coaching, and for us to have him around the corner so we don't have anything to fear and next season we are going to be doing crazy and we are not just going to go for one trophy and we are going to go for four let me sound like arteta but we wont end up like him, who just won only one, very funny. Even after all the opportunities, they were still struggling. That is who Arsenal is, they are a struggling club.

Arsenal is a struggling club but atleast, we won the premier league last season while your strong Manchester City didnt, we also reached the champions league finals while your strong Manchester City didn't, and lets assume that Arsenal has top quality players like Manchester City, do you imagine the great things Arsenal will be doing? The great achievements and all..

Man, stop being boostful and humble up, every club has their season and if your club is for this season, it don't mean other clubs are not trying, it's just not their time yet, any club can at any point in time start struggling, even your almighty Manchester City, pep Guardiola is no longer directly with you guys, you don't know how the new coach coming will coach the boys, he may try to invent his one style a a tactics which may plunge Manchester City into a kind of deep hole Manchester United just came out from through the help of Carrick, don't be so certain about your club and wait for the season's tournament to start.

Andoni Iraola could win the Premier League irrespective of what we all think about him. He had a fine style of play with Bournemouth and qualified them for European football, such a manager could do just the same with winning the league. The players within the club are ambitious and hungry players. They can go on to get it done. They are simply three more significant signatures from winning the Premier league competition again.

I disagree, I don't think Liverpool are favorite for the league title this season, they have new manager and e shouldn't put more effort on him to lift the league this season, he needs time to build with the team, he's in a new environment with a different mentality and culture. The Liverpool fans will be happy if he end at the top four this season.

For the title is between Aston Villa, Manchester United and Arsenal, they're the really contender for the title, they have built a solid team to compete for the league, to me Liverpool will struggle, many players in the squad are yet to adapt, that's why Arne Slot struggle with them. He bought players that are not good for the premier League and that alone cause him his job.

You don't need to underestimate Liverpool neither, should you rule out Manchester City from the title race next season because they're still strong clubs regardless that they both changed their coaches. I don't even see Aston Villa as a strong contender for the title next season because they will always give up at the last quarter of the season.

Pep guardiola's Manchester City reign was actually a huge success, because his legacy and record will be very difficult to break in years to come, but I still think that Manchester City can still be up there challenging for major honours because Enzo maresca is a top manager that proves himself at Chelsea. I know that it wouldn't be that easy to fill in the shoe of pep guardiola, but Enzo maresca can do a very fine job with Manchester City and be successful, because he has what it takes to compete with the very best tactically when it really matters. We saw it last season against Paris saint German at the club world cup final and in some premier league games, so I trust him to do well with the citizens.

there are certainly some teams that have become legendary and Pep Guardiola created this masterpiece at Manchester City, years of hard training to build a very strong team, obviously organized with the club that invested, now they have a complete team and i think the next manager will have a clear path.

[Renampun]

As Maresca will be taking over with the same players the squad is not going to change but they can decide to sign more players if they need to make any position more effective, Maresca will definitely succeed maybe not next season but as a Manchester City manager.

We haven't yet seen Maresca's development as City manager, so we can't yet conclude whether he'll be a successful manager. however, given his performance at Chelsea, it's understandable that many are skeptical that he'll be able to achieve success with City. but we haven't yet seen City perform under him, so setting expectations too high or too low at this point is premature, we need a fairer assessment and see how City performs under his guidance, whether it improves or not remains to be seen.

[bastisisca]

In my opinion, the teams to keep under observation for next season are:
Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool.
Of all of them, I will gladly follow Manchester United, for the amazing recovery work they did midway through the season, this grit pushes me to think about a possible victory next year and spectacular football for the championship from all the participants.

Arsenal certainly agree with you, and Manchester City also seems like an excellent candidate to me.
I don't know if you agree with Manchester United, and i don't agree at all about Liverpool licking their wounds for a really bad season. Of course is my idea.

No coach will start a season without having some financial support, he will be given some money to make some purchases from the market but I'm worried about his previous club, I think even the club is yet to know who is going to stay and who want to go to another club. Cucurella said he didn't used upto 36 hours before he made his way to Real Madrid, there is report about Enzo too but nothing is confirmed yet but I'm sure that if they called him up, he will leave without thinking twice.

I expect this to happen to Chelsea, there is too much expectations that's why even Maresca never drag the place with them. The responsibility is now on Xabi to make that change, if he does well there will be more players that will be willing to joint the club than the ones that will be willing to leave but if they don't win anything, many more players will leave for another club for sure.

[cande86]

I'm my opinion, Premier League is already boring because if not for Arsenal that step up  and challenged Manchester City, they didn't want to let them have it and it would have been boring all this while for them to be winning everything. I think now that Guardiola has left and teams coaches are neutral, we are going to see another spectacular performances from different teams and that's what make the Premier League exciting.

It's so sad that most players are leaving Premier League and are going to other leagues. Bernardo Silva didn't renew his contract, I don't know why probably because of Guardiola absent I don't know, Cucurella left Chelsea for obvious reason and haven't listened to his interviews, he said the deal took 36 hours and he didn't hesitate to go there but I think a time is coming when Premier League players will want to stay in their respective clubs and wouldn't look outside again.

the premier league is not boring and like all championships in the end one team always wins and this seems logical to me, but we rarely have a challenge with multiple teams, the last two are always Manchester City and Arsenal, i don't know if next year there will be several challenges with other teams but i think we will start along the lines of this last championship.

Even after all the opportunities, they were still struggling. That is who Arsenal is, they are a struggling club.

Arsenal's problems became obvious by the end of the season, but they nonetheless won the Premier League, and they also reached the semi-finals and final of the Champions League in the space of two years. Remind me what City has achieved? They haven't won the title, and they were humiliated by Real Madrid twice (four times, if you count the number of matches) in the Champions League early on. So I take it that if Arsenal or another club takes the title with great difficulty, and City is once again humiliated by Real Madrid in the Champions League, then you will be happy?

The great achievements and all..

It is of no doubt that Arsenal performed well last season both in premier League and on champions League, however, you still need more confidence in them to do better and this is only when they can achieve maintaining performance in this manner, their consistency in match play is necessary, in which we are going to still see how far they could go this new season coming before they could actually boast on anything they have achieved so far.

[el kaka22]

City can still be great if they are willing to spend money, they are owned by rich people but that 115 charges thing stays above them like a hammer, and that is why they are scared of doing this.

I feel like the best case scenario for this would not be all that easy to handle, we should not be considering how this could be different because they are afraid to spend that money now. But if they can, or they do, then they are going to still be doing great with this season, spending half a billion dollars did not make Liverpool better, if City did that, they would have won the league.

[Jegileman]

I don't even see Aston Villa as a strong contender for the title next season because they will always give up at the last quarter of the season.

Aston Villa has proven to us that their best feat for the title race is always going to finish in the top four of the table and nothing more. Aston Villa has been trying their best but they don’t always make it to the top but rather get to book a champions league spot against the following season. That’s the best i think they can go and they’ve proven themselves. For other teams like Manchester City and Liverpool, they still remain not the best but on top of their top gear for the title every season. Since they’ve both changed their managers, we expect something much special from them both to stay at the top and fight for the title regardless.

Those football fans who are thinking Manchester City will perform poorly since Pep Guardiola left at the end of the season should know that Manchester City will be fine and they will win trophies without Pep Guardiola because they have been winning trophies before Pep Guardiola became their head coach, but it's certain no coach will ever win the numbers of trophies Pep Guardiola won Manchester City in his ten years as Manchester City head coach.

[$weetne$$]

One thing i got to notice about pep is that he did not just impact on Manchester City alone, he also in a way impacted other teams like the great Arsenal whose coach was under his tutelage at a time before he became the coach at Arsenal. Pep has kept Manchester City at a level of stability that will help them a long way in years to come and get them to be able to continue as a top team even as he has left, he created a legacy and not just a team.

I don't even see Aston Villa as a strong contender for the title next season because they will always give up at the last quarter of the season.

I also don't understand why Juicyhome is so dismissive of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the race for the EPL trophy next season because they are new coaches. These three teams are big teams with excellent squad depth across all lines. Furthermore, after the World Cup there will be a player recruitment drive, so many teams will be bringing in new players. Furthermore, the coaches being replaced are also promising Chelsea has Xabi Alonso, Manchester City has Enzo and Liverpool has Andoni Iraola, who last season successfully led Bournemouth to the Europa League. So, it would be naive to say that next season EPL trophy contenders will be limited to Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester United.

It's undeniable that every new coach needs to adapt but make no mistake there are also coaches who adapt quickly and even coaches who can win titles in their first season. Although this is difficult it is certainly possible. In fact, I also agree with what you said that Aston Villa is not included in the competition not without reason. They do not have the squad depth like other big teams especially since they will also be playing in the UCL next season of course this will drain their energy to face the EPL competition.

[aipercoin]

Mourinho is doing the right thing for his Madrid club, Chelsea wants money, he gives it to them in exchange for the players he wants from his former team. The blues could have a hard time refilling the loopholes they're creating in the transfer window, but Alonso in turn is also looking at taking players from real madrid, he's interested in having Carreras to refill the gap Cucurella left in Chelsea. He's said to have shortlisted about five players from Madrid, whom he wants to join Chelsea. On a closer observation, it's as though Chelsea and Real Madrid have a deal of exchanging players or cash, that is, Chelsea could request for a player from Madrid over asking for cash, or a counterbalance could be done.

In my opinion it will be a fiery shopping season, i see many places lacking, i see many empty benches.
It will be very interesting and the ballet of the coaching benches is also very interesting, good coaches are all armored, like very good players.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Their new coach isn't bad at all, this is what actually makes me think that they might actually have a chance. Pep has been able to bring them to this point.pep left behind a solid structure in the team so there's no room for weakness. Manchester city is a great team and they are going to do well next season that's a fact. The only issue of concern is for the new coach to follow peps strategy.

I hope so because City has a very good reputation, and for me it's one of the best teams in England. In fact, thanks to this team and everyone else, it's the best league so far. It's in competition with La Liga, but even so, I consider the Premier League to have a much higher level. In fact, the players are always there to keep improving, and they're being brought out for La Liga in Spain.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Pep's impact and legacy are immense for Manchester City. He made Manchester City an unforgettable team. Such success influences other teams as well. The Premier League is a highly competitive league, and the success of one team elevates and influences the success of others. Pep Guardiola managed to do this. We shouldn't just look at a few seasons if we look at what he left behind overall, he fully deserves these positive words.

[giorgione]

Yes, the Premier League is so competitive not only because there is a coach like Pep, but also because of the players, and many other factors... so when Pep leaves this league it doesn't necessarily make the competition in this league worse, but it could make the competition even better, because next season we can see Carrick, Arteta, Iraola, and other great coaches to be able to show off strategies to each other... and the addition of new players will make the competition in the Premier League even more exciting in my opinion.

regardless of Pep Guardiola, the teams in the Premier League have always been very competitive, this leads the level to rise more and more, i also understand that coaches can also make flops and we have seen many of them in these teams in this last period, so it doesn't surprise me.

Pep guardiola is a very good coach and he has done very well in Manchester City he has created something in Manchester City that will remain forever Manchester City has been seen as a very big and wonderful club that always do well so any coach that is coming to Manchester City knows that is either he do well to lift trophies or he will leave the club, right now if Manchester City should stay two seasons without lifting the premier League trophy it will be a big slap to them this is what pep guardiola created in Manchester City and I believe it will remain just like Real Madrid staying 2 season without lifting the champions League trophy will feel.

I don't know if you agree with Manchester United, and i don't agree at all about Liverpool licking their wounds for a really bad season. Of course is my idea.

But I want a team like Chelsea to compete next season. Chelsea recruiting Xabi Alanso is the right choice because Chelsea current squad depth is good, but they haven't found a suitable system yet. Xabi Alanso system would fit perfectly with Chelsea current squad depth. This reminds me of when Xabi Alanso coached Leverkusen a few seasons ago.

Xabi Alanso system at Real Madrid was actually quite good, but he struggled to control his star players and Perez didn't fully support him which led to his dismissal. Perhaps if Real Madrid players lowered their egos and were willing to follow Xabi system, Madrid would be better. But Xabi Alanso current situation at Chelsea is different from his time at Real Madrid. He has full authority and management also supports him so I think Chelsea will be better next season. Moreover, Chelsea will only focus on domestic competition next season which will be an advantage for Xabi Alanso to be able to direct all his concentration in the EPL competition.
