Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[ITExpert]

I agree, Rashford looked much more confident when he was getting regular minutes and you could see his quality in both his goals and overall play, sitting on the bench won't help him rediscover his best form, at this stage of his career joining a team where he's trusted and plays constantly seems like the smartest move it will be interesting to see what decisions he makes if the perfect opportunity comes along the way.

Marcus Rashford is at that stage of his life in career building where his every new taking steps is very important for his carrer. Because I think now he is at the peak of his career where every step has to be taken very carefully and efficiently. Because the player has the potential to make things which will be very beneficial for them in future. Once he was the most important player of the Manchester United and scored many goals for the team but he left when the Manchester United was suffering from their worst time. May be he will move now as the team is now very stable and also doing good under the great supervision of Micheal Carrick. But there is still not confirmed news that what will be the next station for the Marcus Rashford as a good player.

Pep Guardiola was great when he managed City, and he won so many cups and trophies so kudos to him. But you need to realize, for hte last two years they d dnto win the league nor UCL, so that means they are not really good at the current moment. Pep failed to win the league for the past wo years as well, so that means, they are not really that good at the current way.

Even the hands that work get tired, how many person in the history of Premier League has won the Premier League for 4 season a row that we don't think Pep Guardiola did enough for the club. How many coach has done what he has done in his time and remain relevant. He was the founding person that brought Haaland from Dortmund, I don't even know the guy was this mad. He pair him with De Bruyne one of their best attacking midfielder and those time were memories.

Maresca is not taking over the City that won 4 in a row, he is taking over the team that lost two in a row. So, expecting him to be just like Pep and win, could happen in the future, maybe, maybe not, but expecting him to do that right now on his first year is not smart because City isn2t great when he is taking over, eh has to make this team better and win the league title.

Last two season that Guardiola couldn't do much for the club, there was many things that team lack that time but they didn't make any provision, probably the club was ready and don't want to make it through him since he was almost leaving the club, we may see Maresca get those things. If he get the team back together and put them on their original form, I believe they might even be better under Maresca than they did with Guardiola.

Rashford used to be very very good on the pitch but this days it is very different because even keeping or using him as a substitute in Manchester united is not even good enough because who knows if he will improve and right now  what Manchester united need is or are not player that will improve but player that will perform and display well because they have a lot coming this season.

When Rashford was at Manchester United, his performance dropped drastically, and everyone complained about him, but we should know that Manchester United performance dropped during that period, the club was facing some crisis during that period, and I will say it affected Rashford. Most of the players at Manchester United during that period were not really playing well.

Even the Barcelona he is playing for, he has not Improve that much.

Rashford performance improved at Barcelona, you can’t compare Rashford performance when he was at Manchester United with his performance at Barcelona. Rashford was just so serious at Barcelona because he wanted them to sign him. Seriously there is great improvement in Rashford performance, that’s why Manchester United want him back.

If he gets the chance to play regularly and independently at Manchester United, he will definitely give MU something good and become a great asset for them. He was given enough opportunities and freedom at Barcelona, ​​Marcus Rashford took that opportunity and earned Hansi Flick's trust. Now if Michael Carrick trusts Rashford like Hansi Flick did and gives him enough playing opportunities, then I think he will definitely be able to earn Carrick's trust. His great performance at Barcelona also earned him a chance at the World Cup, so far his performance cannot be called comparable. His performance against Croatia in the first match was great.

If he did earned Flicks trust enough,, then he should have been retained,  I mean they would not have attempted getting his replacement even before he leaves,  without minding how expensive the replacement was they got it anyways,  so I do not think  he did earned the trust enough. He may not do any better at Manchester United because he does not look like one who will be willing to blend in the team enough underrated the coaches leadership.

It's not that easy for Barcelona ​​whose finances aren't yet so stable. Rashford performed well last season for Barcelona, ​​and Flick has publicly praised his mentality and quality. However, Rashford salary is hig, and Barcelona is struggling with that. While Rashford price tag on a permanent deal is only €30 million, Barcelona would be more willing to sign Gordon for €80 million, as Gordon salary is lower than Rashford. It's no secret that Barcelona struggles with high paid players.

It does seem odd that Barcelona would prefer to pay €80 million for Gordon but not €30 million for Rashford, who has already adapted. But if we look more closely at this club business, it's easy to understand, considering that Barcelona is still struggling with La Liga's salary cap regulations, even though their cap has been raised, they prefer to be cautious. Regarding Rashford, who is likely to remain at Manchester United, as no other clubs have yet made an offer. Carrick should try to give Rashford the freedom Flick gave him at Barca. Rashford has the potential to be a valuable asset if he plays like he is currently. Furthermore, he's a product of the Manchester United academy, so he's familiar with the club's culture, and he also has solid experience at Barcelona.

[disbil]

Yes, I agree with what you said that Rashford is actually not very developed at Barca even though his game is quite good.. and for that reason they also prefer to recruit Gordon to develop their long-term project since Gordon is younger, offers greater room for development, and fits the profile of a player who can grow with the team. so if Man United are going to make Rashford their reserve player, that's not a good decision because selling him to another team would probably be the more sensible option because Man United won't be burdened with his high salary.

Not agree with your opinion, Marcus Rashford quite develop with Barcelona this season seeing better statistic comparison when loan with Aston Villa indeed Rashford not always playing as regular players. Barcelona have interested for extending loan option but Manchester United want to sell him without giving an opportunity with loan again for any team interested with Rashford, likely his future with Manchester United almost over regarding the management decision sell him for Barcelona with 30 million fees transfer and waiting for other team bid offering if interested to get Rashford.

Right now, Manchester United have many option for attacking line position exactly position leave by Rashford but don't know the tactical from Michael Carrick really need him for next season or already to sell him.

Inspite of the fact the fact that guardiola wasn't able to win a trophy for Manchester city doesn't in the past two years doesn't take away the fact that he is the most strategic and decorated Coach of all time. It was quite disappointing for pep that his team could not win the trophy last season despite their attempt, they almost succeeded but they failed along the line. Maresca is not going to a team that needs to be built from scratch, Manchester city is already a team with structure, maresca is just going to continue from where the previous Coach stopped.

Well it will be best if the season starts already for this confirmations to be made because  even in pre season, a lot can still happen that will turn things around  and we will be surprised at what we are seeing as relative to what we had expected,  Liverpool and Chelsea,  to me still not showing any clear signs to bank on.

these teams are really strong, i believe that we can all expect a return of these teams, we certainly have positive things that have happened and a return can be more than right, Livepool and Chelsea are two teams that have always been among the best, also keeping an eye on Tottenham.

Alejandro Garnacho is reportedly not in Xabi Alonso’s plans for next season. Chelsea has planned to sell him out as they are keen to receive offers from any club. I know most of us know this is coming. Chelsea fans ware excited with the news. Alejandro Garnacho had a worst season last year. His season at Manchester United was far better than his season in Chelsea. Another bad deal for Chelsea. Alejandro Garnacho will have low value in the transfer market.

Garnacho was very successful during his time at Manchester United. Chelsea must think they won't get enough benefit from him. Xabi is a very good manager and analyzes players well. If he doesn't want Garnacho, there must be a reason. He will want to have a better season at Chelsea next year. He must think that the transfers he will bring to Chelsea will be better.

[Jostern]

Well, we awaits the new season, as it will soon commence. But, with the look of things it seems that Liverpool, Villa and Chelsea might really do well because this upcoming is season seams to me to be the hardest premier league that will certainly give fans difficult time to predict, as some surprising thing will surely occur because no one wants to be in losing point as of last season. As they have prepared themselves very well and the advice I will like to give to bettors is that, they should not be over confident in the upcoming season if they truly value their mental health.

Well it will be best if the season starts already for this confirmations to be made because  even in pre season, a lot can still happen that will turn things around  and we will be surprised at what we are seeing as relative to what we had expected,  Liverpool and Chelsea,  to me still not showing any clear signs to bank on.

You can never predict football, because football is unpredictable, but you can speculate and make predictions, it doesn’t mean anything that Liverpool and Chelsea aren’t going to play well when the season starts, we have seen that this teams aren’t very active in the transfer market, but I’m completely sure that Liverpool is going to play well and make Champions League, both teams are building a new project, so you cannot expect anything from teams that are building a good project, we would never know about the project until when the season would start, Well as for Chelsea I’m not convinced I don’t even know what they’re doing right now, they’ve bad and terrible players in the squad, we shall see when the seasons start.

[martinom]

If Rashford doesn't want to play in Manchester United, then there is no need for him to go back because he may end up not giving his best to the club. Whether Rashford will go back to Manchester United, all depends on him and the terms of his contract with Manchester United and not because Manchester United is doing well.
Rashford maybe doing great in Barcelona but that doesn't mean he is going to perform well in Manchester United. Moreover, his performance in Manchester United before he went on transfer it was not encouraging at all. Therefore, Rashford alone cannot make Manchester United to win trophy, so I wonder how he is going to be a saviour.

certainly the football movement that follows manchester united would like to see this player make a great return, in fact rashford is seen very well combined with those colors and everyone expects a great return, i think some teams would do well not to give him away, they know this well.

[Slow death]

If he get the team back together and put them on their original form, I believe they might even be better under Maresca than they did with Guardiola.

It's impossible for Maresca to be better than Guardiola at Manchester City. What Guardiola did at Manchester City, no other coach who goes to Manchester City will ever be able to do again. I would say that Guardiola is the best coach in the world, the guy is a rare genius. You won't find a coach like Guardiola.

Of course, there are many good coaches, but not like Guardiola. Some people will say he wins because he had a lot of money at the club; others will talk about the accusations Manchester City faces. But there are many rich teams that can't achieve anything.

If we took PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern and put them in the Premier League, I doubt they could win the Premier League four times in a row. They wouldn't be able to at all.

If he had known a move to Chelsea would kill his form Garnacho would have remain at Manchester united. When he was still at Manchester united,his form was a more better but it is currently worse than before. Since It has been reported that Garnacho isn't among players who xabi Alonso would be working with in the upcoming season, they should loan him for a high amount of money instead of selling him for a low fee. Garnacho might pick form later and his value would increase, Chelsea can then sell him for a huge fee to recover the money they have spent on him.

Maresca is not going to a team that needs to be built from scratch, Manchester city is already a team with structure, maresca is just going to continue from where the previous Coach stopped.

Yes, Pep has given Manchester City many trophies, so I think Pep's failure to bring Manchester City to the Premier League title in the last two seasons, I think it clearly cannot be used as an excuse to say that Pep is a bad coach. Because basically if we compare the wins and trophies given by Pep to Manchester City, it is clearly not comparable to his failure in the previous season. Because in the previous season, even though Manchester City could not become champions in the Premier League, but if I'm not mistaken they managed to get trophies from other domestic league competitions.

So I think that also proves that Pep's quality as a coach is very great. So that's why we don't need to look at Pep's failure to bring Manchester City to become champions last season. In addition, regarding Manchester City's new coach, Maresca, I hope he can make Manchester City's performance great again. But even so, I personally have a little doubt about Maresca, but yes, we'll just have to see what Manchester City's performance will be like next season.

From what I've seen, he's also lost interest in playing for Chelsea, even though his initial reason for joining was to play in the Champions League. Unfortunately, his time in the Champions League was short-lived, as Chelsea's performance has dropped, and they won't be playing in the Champions League this season.
His performances haven't been as impressive either, and that's probably why Xabi is considering selling him to another team, as he has struggled to produce consistent performances.

I don't really agree with this because initially when Garnacho left Manchester united he's performance was so poor and then the few matches he played for Chelsea he did well unlike when he left Manchester maybe the performance now in Chelsea is not longer impressive that's why you are saying it is worse. Well, the thing is that he is not the only play that is not doing well in Chelsea because if the whole team is doing well except him, the loopholes would not have shown this way which means it's the entire team that needs to be fixed

Chelsea was busy buying a lot of players last season without considering if these players will meet up to expectations. Gnarcho is one of them. He played pretty good in Manchester United and gave his best to the team but I'm surprised that he went to Chelsea and started playing like shit or is he regretting of moving to Stamford Bridge or he is not serious with his career.

I won't blame Garnacho for having a bad season at Chelsea. I know he struggled throughout but how can we blame someone that wasn't given a chance to prove himself? He barely had a reasonable playing time and I really don't expect any player to prove more with less playing time. Garnacho is still very young and can do well with proper coaching.

It's too early to conclude this is a bad deal even though most of the deals between Chelsea and Manchester United usually end up badly. But in this case, it's too early. Last season was entirely a rough season for Chelsea and it's good to rebuild together instead of being in haste to chase away their future potentials.

Chelsea spent a lot of money and bought players last season. Yet they were a total failure. The main reason for this was that they did not know which players were suitable for their squad. So even after spending huge amount of money they could not be successful.

Chelsea have given Xabi Alonso responsibility this season. He is a very talented manager. If chelsea management give alonso big funds and squad building opportunities then i believe he will disappoint management.
