Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Swordsoffreedom]

Last season is not this season, don't get it twisted. The michael carrick team of last season were battling to finish top 4. It takes a different spirit to fight for the premier league. Other team have equipped their squad. Manchester United signing is to replace the player that left. I am not sure of this michael carrick team to win the premier league as long as arteta arsenal is with the same player.

Carrick did not have much of a challenge last  season. They have only struggled to stay in the top 4 of the table. They have only played on the premier league platform. But Manchester united will play in both the premier league and champions league platforms next  season. It is very difficult to perform consistently well in two such highly  competitive leagues.

It is very difficult to consistently do well in a busy schedule. Carrick is an excellent manager and he has already proved it. But Carrick has very little experience. So it is not possible to say for sure whether manchester united will be able to do well in the next season. Manchester united's squad needs to be  strengthened. Talented substitute players should  also be kept in  the squad. Then it is a bit easier for them to keep the performance stable.

Yes replacements was the only thing I could say concerning anything about Manchester United signing and is wrong for them to concentrate only on Casimiro because even if they have someone for him that will not be the end of Manchester United poor chances because they also need more important signing as so many other premier League clubs are doing. Last form shouldn't be depending on because already changes has happened as Casimiro has left and some players who was in form before could be having a rough season but if they sign a lot of players, what they got last season could be another step.

It's just 1 year since Arsenal signed Victor Gyokeres from Sporting. They have Gabriel Jesus as well as Germany's Kai Havertz who can also play as the striker so why should they be spending as high as £150 million to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid.
I'm not saying that Alvarez doesn't worth the amount but I honestly do not think that Arsenal's problem is a No.9 striker. I just want to believe that this rumour will end as mere speculation

Not completely,  but Arsenal does have a problem with their front line and maybe this could help with that, where Arsenal's strength is the most is in their defence,  so getting another striker in a bid to strengthen their front line will not really be a bad idea,  moreover,  you never can tell what the season holds ahead,  the need may arise and his position may become of great importance when the need does arises.

You are right, busy schedules always put managers in a very tough position. Last season Manchester United only played in the premier league when Carrick took charge, they were playing once in a week and sometimes they even get to rest for a week or 2 when it the FA cup matches. Next season they will be playing in all available competitions, so I think Carrick will be facing a big challenge.

Well we still have to give him a chance to see how he will handle the busy schedule and pressure. So far with what he did last season he deserves be their manager for next season. Though there are some set of fans who believe a more experienced coach would have been better.

Arteta should try to strengthen  his squad. Arsenal's defense is very strong, there is no doubt  about that. But their defense and  attack are not as strong as expected. We have seen arsenal's weak attack in the champions league matches. Arsenal played defensively  in most of the matches. It is unlikely  that such a strategy will work every season. So Arteta will definitely have to  change his strategy and strengthen the squad. Otherwise, it will not be possible for the team to  dominate the premier league.

The fact that Manchester United only played in the premier when Carrick came in the club last season isn't the reason for the club performance. There are club that despite playing in only one league still end up not performing well. Manchester United will definitely perform well next season and I don't think that the fact that they will be playing in different leagues will make them not perform well or it will in anyway hinder them from winning matches. Therefore, it is just that most people don't see the talent of Carrick yet and by next season they will definitely get to see it.

Anyone that is expecting Michael Carrick to win the premier league is expecting too much of him and also mounting a lot of pressure on him. I have always said that he is a decent manager and he did well last season, but I don't think he is going to win the premier league in the upcoming season, because I don't think that he has the squad for it and he will also be competing in four competitions,  which is really going to make things more difficult for him, unlike last season that he was only concentrating on top 4 finish. Also as you have mentioned,  I don't think that Arsenal is ready to back down and they still have their squad intact,  so it's really going to be too much on Michael Carrick if anyone is expecting him to win the premier league in the upcoming season.

In my opinion, Arteta's biggest weakness is the lack of an elite striker of Mbappe's or Haaland's caliber who can single-handedly change the course of a match.
Arsenal has long tried to succeed through teamwork and system, but in the most crucial matches, it's often individual quality that makes the difference.
Remember the Champions League final, for example.

25 appearances with zero goals is definitely not so good a stats, and having just four assists in all the 25 appearances is also low but I guess this is probably because he's a midfielder.
And maybe the reason why Manchester United decided to have him signed into the club is because they must have watch his performance and style of playing and they believe that with the right training and coaching, he could do much better than he's done so far..

And I don't know what money means to this football clubs because €41 million euros for a player with this type of record seems very outrageous if I am asked what my opinion is, but I guess this is how expensive players are and players with better records probably cost much more which is the reason Manchester United decided to go with Youri..
Anyways, I wish him great luck in the club and I hope Manchester United get value for their money in or from him.

You do not have to score or assist to be a good player. Yuri Telemans has been a good player for a long time and I do not think that it was a mistake to get him. Casemiro left, and they made two decent midfield decisions with Satons and Yuri, and I think they are going to get better.

These are not great transfers based on the money they spent, they should have spent may be like nearly half of what they did, but whenever teams hear about United, they charge more, so there is a big problem there.

I think Manchester United would do well next season but I don't think that they are capable of winning the league title not because they are not good enough but like you said expecting them to win the league would be too much for carrick to achieve currently. They might end up occupying the second position on the league table but that doesn't mean that they are just going to win the trophy because they have improved, although it is possible for anything to happen because football can be very unpredictable but it is better to reduce your expectations.

I don't think the front line is Arsenal problem, check the total number of goals Arsenal won last season and the one Manchester City won, the difference is 7 goals and that was because they have Haaland and you can't compare Haaland with any Arsenal players, they all unique in their own way. However, check other seasons Manchester City won the Premier League and look at the number of goals they score and conceded, you will noticed Arsenal are better.

The problem isn't even the things we are worried about, Arsenal have perfect players at every position you can think off but they don't have enough players on bench that can play like the starters. The rest of the players of Arsenal are not even reliable but that's why it's necessary for Arteta to look into the team once again and make good selection from other clubs, they should buy and not be stingy else this coming season is going to be hard along the line.

Although the transfer window is still wide open and a lot can still happen but I taught by now arsenal would have made one or two signing, it's already confirmed that trossard will leaving arsenal and that would leave space for them to get some new blood to the team. The worse mistake that arteta will do now is to actually feel comfortable because they won the league whole other team will be recruiting, there would be chance in the challenge for the trophy so everything team will definitely add to their squad.

I don't think that it's Arteta that's stringy in buying players because he's not the owner of the club or the president of the club. However, since Arteta took over as the team coach, he has spent a lot of money in buying players and has only won a big trophy last season. If Arsenal don't buy more players, these players will fail them next season because majority of them are not resistant to injury. They succeeded last season because there was no major injury cases.

Arsenal really needs to bring in more forward players because what actually made them to lose the Champions League was because they don’t have good attacks if they had good attacks, they would have lifted the champions league because they already have a very good defense in fact the best defense in the world, what they are lacking is just in attacking players, I don’t like it when a team focus only more on defense. I’m not saying defense is not important for a team, it is very important for a team but in order for a teams to win trophies they need very good attacks, but right now the attackers in Arsenal are not doing very well so they need to miss them up by signing new players.

Well, it is obvious that playing in two major competition at same time is bit difficult challeng for Michael Carrack because he didn't have any good team but still I believe that he will definitely make things better like at least he will produce better performance than previous. But if Manchester united brought few good players for him like they sign few good players then probably it will produce more confidence in Michael Carrack moral.....

Besides that for next season Mikel Arteta team will also do the same job like to hunt the league title because they have a good team and even the addition of new players will also make the opponent more sprained. But let's see what happens next.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Now that he's at Chelsea where I believe he'll be allowed to make decisions the best suits his style of football, I believe he'll do much more better than we saw at Real Madrid. I'm expecting to see the version of Xabi Alonso we saw at Bayer Leverkusen

That's what we all expected, and what we truly thought he could have done at Real Madrid, but things happened unexpectedly. However, life has given him a golden opportunity, and that's because they believe in his management. So I expect no less from Xabi. For me, he'll be the breakout coach of the Premier League if he does everything exactly as he did at Leverkusen. I hope so. It's also a matter of culture; it's very different working with Germans who are willing to be led and respected than working with star players like at Real Madrid. Now, the English are also disciplined. I'm intrigued by what this new Chelsea will be like; it excites me.

I’m not saying defense is not important for a team, it is very important for a team but in order for a teams to win trophies they need very good attacks, but right now the attackers in Arsenal are not doing very well so they need to miss them up by signing new players.

I actually agree with you that arsenal needs to add reinforcements to their attack because they seriously lack depth, I could remember when they were actually playing PSG they were looking for who to bring to add fluidity to the game and they went on to bring Noni Madueke who I will say was a downgrade if you’re actually taking out Saka, now they have lost Trossard to Beskitas and they do not actually look like some that would anyone to attack because from their transfer window so far they aren’t in pursuit of any player they could sign, although the window is still open for a while probably we could see them scoop Barcola and Rodrigo.

One thing actually Arsenal need to understand is that it is usually hard to maintain this status of staying up high, you need your squad to be at their best always and that’s how to stay up. Should Arteta goes trophy less next season I think it will definitely affect their confidence and could even lead them down again

[Oluwa-btc]

Mikel Arteta should fuming right ahead of the new season.

His first team players like Declan Rice, Eze, Saka, Madueke and Saliba are still being overworked as they remain in the tournament. With Gabriel Saliba injured in this on going game against Spain, I'm not a gunner but I can help but worry about how he will be preparing without his best players ahead of the Preseason, community Shied and opening game in the Premier League Competition. Tough times ahead for them.

[Stable090]

Arteta should try to strengthen  his squad. Arsenal's defense is very strong, there is no doubt  about that. But their defense and  attack are not as strong as expected. We have seen arsenal's weak attack in the champions league matches. Arsenal played defensively  in most of the matches.

I don’t think Arsenal are having any problem with their defense, Arsenal is having one of the best defense right now and I don’t even think anyone can argue about that, but just as you said they will have to work on their attack, it affected them in some matches last season, and that was the reason why they couldn’t win the champions league final, they played so well defensively in the match, but their attack wasn’t so good in the match. I just hope Arteta will look for a way to improve the team’s attack, trying to play defensive game when playing against top teams won’t favour him.

[el kaka22]

Atletico wants 150 million for Alvarez, Barcelona, ​​after their ridiculous offer of 100 million, made a new one of 30, but it is unlikely that Atletico will be satisfied with this. Arsenal probably have the money to pay 150, but it’s not their style to spend such a huge amount of money on one player, plus it’s unclear how much Alvarez himself wants to play in the Premier League. Theoretically, such a transfer would be very useful for Arsenal, whose attack was struggling in the second half of last season.

I disagree, in fact I think it is quite the opposite. Arsenal actually doesn't have the money for it, and Barcelona has it even with all of the salary cap and debt issues. Why do I think that way? We have seen them nick and dime with Gyokeres deal last summer, who was like 65 million to begin with, so less than half what Alvarez worths, and they still didn't just put up 70 and made it work, they wanted 65 flat and that was with 60 plus 5 bonus and it took a month to make that deal that way.

So Arsenal, who did not pay 70 outright, would have hard time with 150. Barcelona on the other hand, has so much debt and yet they still put themselves at risk of not being able to register players and still try to find the extreme edges of what they can pay, and go beyond that as well, and then put themselves in trouble and have to sell VIP seats for a decade to make sure players can be registered, they really do spend their last dime to make it work somehow.
