Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[m4r1o]

You do not look at it long term then! These players will not get ill or injured at the start of the season but they will most definitely face fatigued and burn out in the future.
The first two to three game are not the issue, if they're not well protected, they could most definitely see important players not properly rotated out injured. As a defending champion, you don't want that do you?

In my opinion this problem will not exist, the rotation of players will be done regularly, based on the situation, it is not something you can predict, someone could be injured even in the first game, who can determine something similar? But this has always been a risk that must be taken for all teams and obviously.

Nobody is saying that Man U, in participation to four competitions, is incapable of reaching remarkable success, the concern here is that the team has to face multiple challenges that'll slow down the level of success rate they experienced last season competing in the premier league, FA cup, and EFL alone.
Manchester United would perform well next season but it would be delusional to expect too much from them especially when it comes to winning the title, I don't think that Manchester United would be able to win the trophy just yet, a lot of things would slow them down just like you said. One thing is certain, they are going to be a problem to a lot of big teams. This coming season they would also play in the champions league which is going to be very challenging for them.

The success that Manchester United can achieve is to reconfirm themselves among the top four in the Premier League. That must be the first objective to be achieved, without that we can say it is a failure.
Then getting as far as possible in the Champions League, that would also be excellent.

I trust and Believe that Arsenal will be the ones to lift the premier League title next season, they are the most informed and strongest team right now in premier League and for that no team will be able to stop them from lifting the premier League title, it will be very difficult for another team to contest with Arsenal for the premier League title because they already have a very good formation and a very good team, I know that they are buying for signing more players to make the team more stronger they should continue doing that.

Arsenal are definitely the favorite for the premier league in the upcoming season, because they are the most stable team right now and their project has already taken shape,  but I don't think we should just conclude that no other team can we it. The season is a long one and a lot of things will happen, from injuries, fatigue and loss of form, so this can happen to any team and it will definitely affect their performance,  so we should not just conclude that Arsenal will win it, although they are still the favorite for me.

Of course, a team as big as Manchester United failing to finish in the top four is a failure, as a team like United should be consistently finishing in the top four every season. But under Carrick, Manchester United has slowly begun to recover and is poised to finish in the Champions League next season. I hope he can maintain that consistent performance. Playing in the Champions League is a success, especially since it's an elite competition. So, for Carrick to go as far as he can next season isn't necessarily about winning a trophy especially since Manchester United is also just emerging from a slump.

Furthermore, Manchester United will be competing in a lot of competitions next season and this won't be easy for Carrick. So, I don't think we should put a heavy burden on Carrick requiring him to win a trophy next season. Maintaining his consistency in every match is a good thing for Carrick as building a strong team takes time. I also hope Carrick can overcome the pressure and challenges to start next season because coaching Man United these two aspects are what always make every coach of Man United fail.

By next season they will going to be under another manager before their performance get well as they want,  Arsenal will make sure they are at the top already.

I see Arsenal as absolutely one of the protagonists for the title, they will do everything and i believe that together with Manchester City they will take a step forward and take this team to a higher level, the competition is very high and this is why the teams always improve more and more every year.

The season has not started yet and how can we say now that Arsenal will win. Because in the coming season, we may see many surprises because everyone is dreaming big about Manchester United and everyone has a logical reason behind dreaming. Yes, as we have always seen in the case of Arsenal, Arsenal's performance deteriorates towards the end. The coming season may not be easy at all for Arsenal, there will be many competitions for them, but currently we can say that Arsenal is much ahead of all other teams in terms of winning trophies.

In club football, Arsenal is a high value team, with extensive defensive initiative yet to be deciphered by numerous coaches but Enrique, in the about to begin season Arteta now works on a formation that'll integrate PSG's kind of emotional transitional game to tighten and strengthen his attacking technique, even if they end up failing in their strong tactical approach at the collapsing time of the season, Arsenal will always stay around the first three teams in the league table, which isn't bad anyways, what is most crucial for Arteta is the champions league.

For the past seasons before last Arsenal has been making good attempts to win the league and when they finally won it and had good performance in the Champions league as finalists why won't anyone expect them to be favorites to win? Who would you rather pick as favorites, Tottenham?

 Everyone is aware that things could change when the new season begins but for now Arsenal's defending champions and still favourites ahead of the new season. Ofcourse there's a possibility that their performance might decline but it won't get so bad that tbey won't compete well or qualify for the Champions League.

[m4r1o]

If something bad happens, Manchester United fans will be disappointed. Because there is a group of Manchester United fans who expect to be in the title race next year. Carrick has promised them success next year. They also have high expectations in the Champions League.

teams like Manchester United absolutely must do something to move forward and try to give as much as possible, they must do it for the history they represent and for what they have also been in the champions league, over the years they have always fared worse and this has brought down the strength of this team.

[tygeade]

Manchester City have dominated the premier league for a long time with the help of guardiola. There is a possibility that city's performance  will deteriorate slightly due to Guardiola leaving City. But the important thing is that City has not won the league title in the last  two seasons despite having an experienced manager like guardiola. They were third in the table in the  2024/25 season and they were second  in the table last season.

There is no room to underestimate Maresca. He is not new to the premier league. He has also worked with Guardiola. So Maresca is well aware of City's overall condition and gameplay. So I do not think we will see any  major changes in City's overall performance and gameplay.

This is EXACTLY why I think people will be unfair towards Maresca, without a doubt. Yes, Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the entire history of this sport, and maybe even the greatest (I still put Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of him).

However, what you are forgetting is that, even Pep failed to win anything for the past two years, maybe some unimportant cups, but who cares about efl or whatever. No league, no UCL, he won nothing that mattered. Which is why I honestly have to point out, if Pep lost for the past 2 years, then how could Maresca come in and suddenly win? If he loses too, then it doesn't make him bad, if he wins absolutely nothing, then it would be the same result as what Pep got for the past two years.

Rightly said because for Manchester United to be able to change how we have being viewing them and the performance, is to continue on the success foundation that they have already started on in the last season, beyond that, their is need for internal change between the club management and officials, players and all the dressing room members, signing new players to the team will also be helpful too.

[dezoel]

Arsenal has even harder situation at hand now. They had a problem but the problem was that they failed to win, and they never won the league (well they did nıt it was over two decades ago) so the expectation was high, but people were simply disappointed but used to not be able to win the league.

Now that they did actually win, there is a possibility that we are going to end up seeing them want even more, like get UCL or something, or doa  double at least, get the league and FA cup at the minimum. This is going to be a lot harder season for them.

[ITExpert]

Yes,, it's true that Arne Slott, in his first season as Liverpool coach, managed to lead his team to the Premier League title. But after that,, Liverpool's performance became very poor and they struggled to get into the top four in the Premier League. So, if we look at that case, I don't think Carrick will be like that. Because I think Carrick has a more mature plan now. So I think even if he can't lead Manchester United to the Premier League title next season, it's definitely not a problem, as long as he can maintain the team's performance, I think that's very good.

Because currently, even though Carrick has been labeled as an excellent coach, because he was able to bring Manchester United to get a ticket to the UCL, we basically don't know for sure what Manchester United's performance will be like next season. So, that's why I don't think we need to hope that Carrick can lead Manchester United to the title next season. Because I believe Manchester United is still in the process of building their team to be even better, so burdening them with too many targets will actually have a negative impact on their performance. So, right now, we shouldn't expect too much from Carrick.

This is true that the expectations from Micheal Carrick are very high as everybody is use to think that he is the one who brings the team in to their stable position and now he will definitely lead them towards the title race and makes the team able to win as well. i personally think and believe that Carrick is a talented coach and he will give his best to make the team able to achieve their dreamy position. There are also many who believes that Micheal Carrick is not able to bear this pressure as this will be too much and may he can not do the exact but I think its not weird in trusting Micheal Carrick. If he can bring the team into their brighter zone from their worst position he can manage at least he will try his best or give his full performance so that the team can stand stable.

[KTChampions]

Am not Manchester United fans, but honestly my expectation is high on Carrick also. Carrick already convince us that he can manage Manchester United because he performed so well last season, and everyone were surprise that Carrick was able to improve Manchester United performance within a short period of time. So am sure Manchester United will perform so well by next season, I just hope Carrick will be able to manage the team well by next season, because Manchester United will be playing in both premier league and champions league, it’s really going to be a difficult task for him, but let’s see how next season is going to be.

It's worth acknowledging that changes had been happening at United before him. First, Ten Hag was breaking things (haha), then Amorim staged a mini-revolution, and although it wasn't successful in terms of results, good players were acquired. Carrick was able to piece the puzzle together (and frankly, after so many years of hopelessness, it seemed fair), and I hope next season will also be on the rise for United, although it will be difficult to successfully perform in the Premier League and the Champions League at the same time.

By next season they will going to be under another manager before their performance get well as they want,  Arsenal will make sure they are at the top already.

I see Arsenal as absolutely one of the protagonists for the title, they will do everything and i believe that together with Manchester City they will take a step forward and take this team to a higher level, the competition is very high and this is why the teams always improve more and more every year.

Judging by the depth of strength within each EPL team, Arsenal is indeed the most solid and powerful. Furthermore, after proving themselves consistent every season under Arteta they have become even stronger each season. This is evident in their consistency over the last four seasons consistently being a major contender for the EPL title finishing third and winning the title once. This is all due to Arteta long tenure at Arsenal which has resulted in a stronger philosophy and team foundation. This contrasts with other teams like Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City which have all changed managers.

However Arsenal should not be complacent as anything can happen in football especially when it comes to maintaining player fitness, injuries or other factors that could lead to a decline in performance. Carrick currently managing Man United and Unai managing Aston should not be underestimated as both teams have performed quite solidly this season. Even new coaches who coach EPL teams such as Alanso, Maresca, and Iraola could make a big surprise in the EPL next season.

Carrick performance was a glimmer of hope, a long-awaited glimmer of hope after years of anxiety and uncertainty surrounding Man Utd future. Carrick seemed to provide a definite direction. However, it was only one season, and who knows, this positive result could just be a fluke. But considering the potential of last season, it seems Man Utd have found the right manager. Hopefully, Carrick maintains that momentum and returns to success in the Premier League and especially the Champions League. I look forward to his performances in Europe top competition.

Carrick did pretty well where the others failed. I think he managed to unify them as a team, and that is one of the most important aspects of a football team. All he has to do is a little bit of tweaking and maybe a couple of signings.
I believe they (Manchester United) will pose quite a challenge to other top contenders next season especially in the English Premier League.

Arsenal has even harder situation at hand now. They had a problem but the problem was that they failed to win, and they never won the league (well they did nıt it was over two decades ago) so the expectation was high, but people were simply disappointed but used to not be able to win the league.

Right on 👍. Having to win the league have changed the expectations. Over year arsenal were after title but now, it a team everyone want to beat. Having to defend the premium league it harder then winning the first time. This because everyone is motivated with a champion league run

How does having to win change expectations? And expectations from what to what exactly? Arsenal has been playing very nice football for some seasons now but they were not lucky to win but last season they broke the chain that has been holding them back whenever they are at the verge of winning the premier league. Winning the premier league and defending it, none  is easy because every team wants to win especially those big teams like Manchester city, Liverpool and few others.

[Issa56]

Arsenal are definitely the favorite for the premier league in the upcoming season, because they are the most stable team right now and their project has already taken shape, 

I also think Arsenal should be able to win the premier league title by next season if they continue with their good performance. Arsenal is having a stable squad right now compare to other top clubs that will be competing with Arsenal for the premier league title.

I know Manchester city are going to perform well also, but they having a new manager, and we don’t know how his performance will be at Manchester city. Maresca is a good coach, but it might take some time before he will be able to stabilize things. Manchester United are also going to perform well by next season, we saw how Carrick ended last season, but I don’t think Manchester United is having the squad to compete for both premier league and champions league. Chelsea is having a new manager also, with the way Chelsea played last season, Alonso will have to rebuild Chelsea, and it’s going to take some time, we shouldn’t expect instant results by next season.
