Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Pandu Geddon]

I am very sorry for Marcus Rashford because i have always considered him an excellent player who deserves much more than what he has done, however it is not easy for Manchester United to advance and make space in the team, however it is not said that a transfer is not good for the player who can improve.

He might return to United, but when it comes to playing time, I think it will all depend on Carrick. He will know the team's needs better and which players are more ready for the strategy being played.
I also think returning to United doesn't necessarily mean the team will trust him again. Rashford has to show that he is capable. Or he could choose another club that suits him better.

Rashford's situation is kinda tricky in my opinion. He took pay cut for Barca. But they have given Gordon more priority, lol. Now under Carrick he could return to form if he return to United and get regular playing time. You know, he is still a premier league quality player on his day.

However United should not be suffering from nostalgia anymore. Squad rebuilding should be their main target now. I do not see any point in forcing another pointless reunion. It could flop again. So if good offer come I think selling him would be better decision. At least 30 million+ offer.

After a decent season at Barça, I think that Rashford will be welcomed with open arms. He was missed this season, and if he had stayed at Man Utd under Carrick, he would have flourished—and that is what will happen this season. Yes, they need a squad rebuild, but I think that the wing position where Rashford plays is not the priority.

[Oluwa-btc]

The numbers speak for themselves. Barcelona is a team with blind management. They always want to ask for players on loan and in the end don't sign them permanently, so I don't see Rashford as bad; on the contrary, he did well at Barcelona and it would have been more advantageous to have him permanently. If he returns to Manchester United, it will be a good option for the team.

Let's say the numbers speaks for Marcus Rashford, why has Barcelona decided to sign Anthony Gordon for much more when Marcus Rashford cost less that what they paid for Gordon. And let me not forget to add that he also reduced his wages just so he could play for Barcelona, why are they not having him retained?!
These Manchester United management are useless asf. This move seems like Mikel Arteta bringing back Per Ernerick Aubameyang or Lacazette back to Arsenal after sending them out. Do you think he'd have lead Arsenal to win the Premier League Competition with them?!
No right??

Now it is enough reason why  Manchester United management and Michael Carrick shouldn't bring back Marcus Rashford.

[Different patterns]

Arsenal's victory in the Premier League is certainly inseparable from the many young players who continue to develop and show improved play due to experience, but Manchester City will be a strong team, they will continue to train to hone their abilities, which of course will improve their abilities in the next season.

Yes, it's true that Arsenal currently has quite a lot of young players, so that is indeed an advantage for Arsenal. Because by having many young players playing there, it will allow them to continue to dominate well in the Premier League. Because in the coming season, Arsenal's players will certainly work together even better, and everything will be even more perfect for Arsenal. So, personally, I think Arsenal will most likely be the team with the greatest chance of becoming champions again in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, when talking about Manchester City, I also admit that they are a very great team. But it is also important to remember that currently they are no longer coached by Pep, and that will certainly have a huge impact on their performance. So, for that reason, I personally don't expect much from them next season. Because currently, I believe Manchester City's performance will definitely not be able to immediately improve with their new coach. Because certainly, everything also needs something called adjustment first.

The young squad gives Arsenal the solid foundation to compete for the premier league again because young players often improve together over time and when they stay together they build team chemistry and connections and they are certainly one of the strengths of Arsenal today. But if arsenal is aspiring to win the premier league title back to back, it's not going to be easy for them because they will need to keep improving a d make important decisions and changes where necessary with maintaining the level of performance that makes them successful in the previous season of the premier league. For Manchester city, changing a manger like pep is a major challenge because even as  quality players, it will be difficult for them to adapt quickly to another manager's ideas and philosophy to bring out the consistent results they have been producing in previous times. So they will need them to adapt. I will still not write Manchester city off completely because they have top level players and they are one of the major contenders of the premier league title now and I know other teams will also arise to make the competition more competitive.

If you said Marcus Rashford did well in Barcelona I would not doubt because he played well unlike when he was about living Manchester united that he barely score or even bit a player, though he is still finding in difficult in dribbling players unlike before but I won't agree or accept the fact you said he would have done well if he was under Michael Carrick I'm not sure about that because he was already tried of the club so all he needed was that time to bounce back and I hope he is okay now.

[Sim_card]

Yes Rashford left the team because he had a conflict with Amorim. But even before that, there had already been a lot of criticism directed at him because he was considered too lazy, both in training and during matches. As a result, he faced plenty of criticism from both the coaching staff and the fans. Now that he has experienced a completely different environment at Barcelona, perhaps he doesn't want to return to Manchester United. On the other hand, it's also possible that he has learned from his mistakes and is ready to come back and work much harder.

I wouldn't blame anyone for that but blame Rashford who chose not to be serious with his career. He was paid heavily and his performance isn't up to half of the pay he recieves. Do you expect the fans to start clapping for him or cheer him up instead, he will be lashed with critics. Rashford future is in his hands.

From the beginning of the season Arsenal were consistent in their efforts to win the premier league title and even when they were failing at some point they got back on track again. There was no game that they won by luck and this is because they are now in form, they failed multiple times to get to this point, so this victory is well deserved for them, i just hope that they can keep it up.

Talking about Arsenal starting well from the beginning of the season last season was not the first time they are starting well but last season performance was exceptional because they gave everything they had to ensure they do not drop points even when 5hr league got tougher and they drop few points everyone gave up on them cause Manchester City was close to them but their consistent win when City dropped few points took them to the victory.

Arsenal always start their performance well but usually towards the end Arsenal performance becomes less optimal because some of their players are tired but this season even though they lost some points they did not give up and continued to try to show their best so that Man City could not overtake them, next season the competition between these two teams will be very tight in fighting for the EPL title not to mention there are other teams that provide surprises and will certainly make it difficult for them.

[changaa]

What if that is the strategy that works for Arteta? The premier league title that Arsenal won is not only about luck they actually work so hard to that trophy. They performed so well to remain in that position till ending of the season, So how is that luck even if Manchester was in good condition that is not enough reason to say they will win the the trophy,  because they can still be in good condition and with a slight mistake the trophy will be for Arsenal.

Arsenal must remain as they are, they won a great title, and they must continue Arteta did an impressive job, managing and winning with such a strong team is remarkable, i must say that the title won in the Premier League is the result of continuous work which led to the desired result.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The defensive strategy works arteta but that's not sustainable enough and I think they figured that out when they played against psg In the champions league. But one thing that remains undisputed is the fact that arsenal didn't any luck in the previous season to win the league title because they were capable enough of doing this, their form was impeccable and they earned what they achieved. City were in good form but they eventually lost some matches.

As far as I'm concerned, I've always said that I don't like defensive play; it bores me and I don't see much point in it. Attacking play, on the other hand, is fine because it's what makes teams win. You can sit back in defense, but you have to launch deadly counter-attacks that lead to goals. But even so, he didn't do that. Now, with City, I don't know; I have to wait and see at least five games.

Well arsenal did well in winning the title this past season but honestly they need a change in strategy this coming season, they need to be more attacking minded. Last season we saw how they make set pieces as their weapon, this season a lot of teams will be prepare for that, so I really think a change of strategy will be best for them.

We are all seeing how every team is preparing, how most big teams have now bring in new managers and bringing in players too. It going to be a very good premier league coming up, so to be prepared in the best possible way will be good. Especially having a change in strategy.

Bad prayer for them to be like that in the next season and if they do, they will not be at the top 3. They had been in that skillful position for decades and they won the last Premier League Title because the strong teams got weakened base on injury players and inexperienced players. And seen what happened to them, they will rise again to face the challenge so this coming season will be a competitive season. You can see the players effort from from the world cup.

Instead of ending up like the previous season, their fans should wish that they improve because all the big teams in the league would improve their squad and if Arsenal use the setpiece tactics and hope on VAR controversy it might not favour them this time around, every real Arsenal fan would agree that the team needs improvement in their attack.

 I'm not saying their attack is weak, the strength of that position is fair but not strong enough to consistently win the trophy which is why an improve in that particular position is really needed.

Do you expect the fans to start clapping for him or cheer him up instead, he will be lashed with critics. Rashford future is in his hands.

I don't see Rashford as a player who could be in danger or who could never play again, i think he's a professional and another team that is willing to accept him will certainly find him, i don't think he's in danger or that he has any particular concerns, this is the idea i have.

Meanwhile, when talking about Manchester City, I also admit that they are a very great team. But it is also important to remember that currently they are no longer coached by Pep, and that will certainly have a huge impact on their performance. So, for that reason, I personally don't expect much from them next season. Because currently, I believe Manchester City's performance will definitely not be able to immediately improve with their new coach. Because certainly, everything also needs something called adjustment first.

It's not just about having a new manager. Man City are also going through a squad rebuild, and that's one factor that could have a negative impact. Even during Guardiola's final season, some of the new signings still didn't show much creativity. So there's a good chance City will go through some big changes under Enzo Maresca. It could go one of two ways, either they improve or their performances drop. Personally, I still have a feeling City will struggle to compete for the title.

Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool, and Aston Villa all have a good chance of challenging for the title.

[Antotena]

Arsenal always start their performance well but usually towards the end Arsenal performance becomes less optimal because some of their players are tired but this season even though they lost some points they did not give up and continued to try to show their best so that Man City could not overtake them, next season the competition between these two teams will be very tight in fighting for the EPL title not to mention there are other teams that provide surprises and will certainly make it difficult for them.

It will be wrong if after this observations Arsenal refuse to take corrections on what they have experience over the last few seasons. The result has always been like that, they go in and top the team and make it look like they are not stopping. After pushing and finishing the work, they begin to slack and let the competing run to them and they start to show up some confidence again. Instead of waiting for that to happen, why not just be serious in the beginning.

They don't have to wait every time for competing teams to run to them, the points they make that gives people courage and confidence that they are going to win doesn't make people believe in them anymore. I remembered the last season, they were ahead of Manchester City by 11 good points, they wasted all of it on draws and loss until City became top on the table and they start shouting that it's not over. Assuming that didn't happen, perhaps they wouldn't have won.

City were in good form but they eventually lost some matches.

Arsenal have to improve and strengthen their attack, their defence is functional and works very well, i don't think they will change anything at their very strength.
People want me to continue with this strategy because they saw that it works, in fact they managed to win the Premiere and reached the Champions League final, so a grain of truth proved it, right?

It's going to be a tight competition just like you said and I'm expecting Manchester city to have a tough time being ahead of arsenal based on the current changes in the club that might take them a while for them to adjust to it. But I think arsenal might not be able to be consistent this coming Season because other teams are definitely going to step up.

I totally agree that Marcus Rashford is a good player and I am also sorry for him, because of the way he us been treated right now. I really think he is going to come out good next season, even if he remains at Manchester United,  but I really think he will be sold in this transfer market, because I don't see him starting for Manchester united in the upcoming season,  but what I am certain is that he is going to be an important for player for any team that signs him.

Yes all this ones are just formality from the Manchester United management, to at least make him believe he's welcome to the club so he could perform well if given the chance to play, because he's really betrayed the club by spilling nonsense, and again whom is he going to bench? Can he bench Cunha? So he should just come back and warm the bench maybe any day he has the chance to play he should thank his star, and Michael Carrick should be mindful of him because he might as well scatter the dressing room.

We are all seeing how every team is preparing, how most big teams have now bring in new managers and bringing in players too. It going to be a very good premier league coming up, so to be prepared in the best possible way will be good. Especially having a change in strategy.

Actually it was the pattern of playing or the strategy they choose to stand that killed them and that and that was one of the  biggest factors that contributed to thier losses even in the final stage which is a strong defensive game. Although Arsenal is one of the team I respected much when it comes to beat defensive teams, but thier problem is, they  only depend on the pattern and every teams have studied their pattern already, hadn't been they play a flexible match against Paris Saint German in the last season champions league final they would have win the league. But nevertheless I was impressed with thier performances both in the champions league and premier league title. And I hope they will work on themselves next season.
