Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[Barikui1]

Liverpool are a big team and I think that they still have the advantage in this game. They have a lot of games to play this season but so far this season began, they have not being overwhelmed with so much games that makes them already stressed out by now already. Chelsea has already shown some weakness in their defence this season from the many goals they have conceded from the start of the season. I think that Chelsea will not really stand a good chance against them if they use their weak point against them in this game. With Chelsea current injury status, they already look like the game is a lost one for them.

Am ready surprised that you are saying all this, because we have watched both teams, an we can both testify that they are not doing that well. I agree with you that Liverpool might be doing better than Chelsea but they are not special at all, because their new manager is still trying to implement his playing system at the club, just as xabi Alonso is trying to do with Chelsea, so even though Liverpool looks like the favourite in this game, I wouldn't be ruling out the chances of Chelsea, because they have the firepower upfront to do a lot of damage to this Liverpool team in this game coming up.

Are you discussing the Chelsea - Liverpool match, or are you talking about the current form of these two teams? Because I checked the schedule, and they are only going to play each other at the end of October, and that will be a cup match, not a Premier League game.

And if we are talking about their current form, I think Liverpool and Chelsea are more or less in the same situation right now, because they both started the season quite poorly. The fact that Liverpool have a couple more points than Chelsea doesn't mean that they are in much better form. Both teams are going through a transition under new managers, and that is usually a painful process for a team.

Well as expected, City filed an appeal on October 1 against the charges. And now according to the rules, the appeal will be heard by a new three person panel. The hearing is supposed to take place 12 weeks after the appeal was filed, and then the decision will be announced within another 30 days. So in fact, we have to wait another four months and I think it could easily take a little longer than that. So once again, this whole story could be dragged out for another six months. Therefore I don't think this should have any impact on City's matches.

It seems like they want to drag out this process and let skilled lawyers handle the case so it won't be too tough on them.. but no matter how long they want to drag this case out, the decision will still be made as soon as possible.. especially since the Premier League wants the issue resolved before the end of the season. So maybe we'll get to see how the decision will be made by this independent appeal commission before the end of the season, perhaps.. whether it will be a heavy punishment or not, we still need to wait for that.. but if it is point deduction, then we will see City relegated to the Championship.

Like which Chelsea are you guys actually talking about? Is it the Chelsea we all know or you guys are having another Chelsea that I don't know? Oh the least I forget they have Chelsea in Ghanaian league, maybe it's that Chelsea you guys are talking about, because I don't think it's Chelsea of the English premier league, because I see no reason to compare them to Liverpool this season, that's actually a huge insult on Liverpool, I know you guys are Chelsea fans that's why you think them Arsenal or Manchester City, because the last time I checked this Chelsea you guys are talking about is as good as Manchester united and the both teams are as good as nothing this season, maybe they might pick up in upcoming games but for now, they are nothing but a piece of shit.

Hahaha...I think some people have touched that red spot.  

I didn't bother to read what they said, but if that's true, then they might be dreaming. Man U and Chelsea of today shouldn't even be mentioned in the discussion of true performers. If not for their old glory, they are too weak to be mentioned near Liverpool. Money couldn't save them, change of managers couldn't save them. Is that the club one should be comparing Liverpool that has a lot to show for in the past 10 years? They either finished the EPL first, second or third for about 6 years within that period.

Yes you are right. According to the schedule, Chelsea and Liverpool will play their Premier League match in early December. Before that we shall see how well they perform because the season will be far gone by that time.

For now both Liverpool and Chelsea are not doing well. There's nothing special to talk about with the two of them because even in the standings, Liverpool is ahead of Chelsea by just two points.  But Chelsea spent a lot in the transfer market, so I'm expecting to see much better performance from them, like Manchester City is doing because they are both playing under new managers.

Season will be far gone? Nah that just match day 14 and I won't consider that as a season far gone because we are not even halfway by then. Moreover, a lot can happen between now until then that will contribute immensely to both teams performance and change on the table.

You don't need to bring Manchester city into this discussion. With or without a new coach, the current Chelsea team and Manchester City are incomparable. City has always been a title winner or serious contender all this while but Chelsea is a struggling team to finish in a decent position. I would perhaps agree Liverpool and Chelsea are in the same level now but you still can not say there's nothing special about their meeting.

Both clubs are currently managed by coaches who are experimenting, making it difficult to determine whether their current results should be considered a success. I still expect more from both Chelsea and Liverpool. Of the five matches played so far, Liverpool has fared slightly better than Chelsea, yet I remain convinced that Chelsea still has plenty of room for improvement.

Honestly, I thought that at least Man Utd would come back into the top 5 this season and shine, but same as always with them and Chelsea—a lot of old recipes pulled out from the old days and nothing new on the menu. Shame, but that's what happens when you invest badly for so many years. Arsenal and Liverpool suffered before, and look where they are now. You can't say Chelsea and Man Utd are top-tier clubs anymore; they can be happy if they manage to qualify for the Conference League.

The fact that Liverpool have a couple more points than Chelsea doesn't mean that they are in much better form. Both teams are going through a transition under new managers, and that is usually a painful process for a team.

You are right, both teams started poorly this season. To be honest, I think Chelsea had the most disappointing start. Chelsea is currently 10th in the table, they have 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. The worst part is that they've conceded more goals than they've scored with a GD of -2. Chelsea is not performing the way I expect, I was thinking they would compete for the EPL since they're not playing any European competition.

Liverpool is not in good form as well, but their case is different, they have UCL matches to worry about, so the manager needs time to balance the squad and adapt as well. Chelsea only major competition is the EPL, they don't have to worry about resting players, complaining about fatigue or squad rotation, but they still perform poorly. I know they need time to settle with the new manager tactics, but despite that, their performance is not encouraging at all.

Although there is still time for Chelsea to bounce back, they still have the advantage of playing in only one major competition, maybe if the manager finally adapt, they can still compete for the title.

14 matches and you think the season hasn't gone far? It seems you have forgotten this is Premier League. This league is more difficult than every other league you know, they don't wait for anybody here in the Premier League. The more inconsistent you are, the further down the standings you'll go.

And do you believe that if Chelsea and Liverpool continue with these poor performances until their meeting, is there still a possibility for them to compete among the top four teams?  Honestly, even with these 5 matches that they have played and the points they have accumulated, it looks scary to me that they will bounce back easily.

I agree that it is still too early to make a strong judgment on either team, especially with both managers trying to establish their own systems. Five matches are not enough to show the full picture, and consistency will probably matter more than a few early results. Liverpool may have the slight advantage right now, but Chelsea's attacking options mean they can punish Liverpool if they find the right balance. I think this match could come down to which team adapts better during the game rather than simply which squad looks stronger on paper.

[bangjoe]

Chelsea still need to adjust and learn more, I hope they are not too quick to replace the coach and let the current coach correct his mistakes and make a much better formula for the next games, sometimes I am surprised by the club management just from a few games directly replace the coach, when there needs to be learning and understanding all the talents they have in making a suitable strategy.

Chelsea doesn't have it so easy. Xabi has been working with what he has, and I think his coaching processes haven't gone as well as they did in Germany. There are many differences, but quality can't be improvised, and I think he'll come out of all this very well. Chelsea isn't like Real Madrid, where there were problems with players with big egos who controlled the coaches. In the Premier League and at Chelsea, everything changes, and here I think Xabi has all the authority.

What I think is happening is that they're in the toughest league in Europe. They don't get a break, and the matches come very quickly. I think he must be under a lot of stress, and that pressure sometimes makes the results he wants slip through his fingers because of simple details. The adjustments he needs to make are minimal, mostly in attack.

Here it's not like in the Bundeswehr or la liga, the situation is different, the competition is higher and also I think Xabi still needs a lot of time to learn, I still don't agree if he leaves in the middle of the season, let him work one new season can see the results and deserve to be assessed, even then with a note that he can still stay in the top 10 of the league standings, instead of hoping to be above the top 6 of the standings this condition can still be considered to be maintained.

And that's a condition that has to be adjusted, because however it can't be avoided, I think he will be quite capable because he doesn't work alone inside the club to get input and shine, there is a team behind Xabi even though he has control as head coach.

[Rhow]

After the international break it will be clearer if Carrick has a strategy worked out to step up his team or they will keep in declining and hoping the manage to stay at middle of the league. There is no excuse whatsoever be it internal challenges or team management the fact is this managers were hired to stabilise their teams. Maresca just joined the league and he is already adapting well. A good manager should be ready ahead of the season. Man U gave so many hopes of a good start this season but many are beginning to question the competence of Carrick.

Carrick's tactics are likely working, but team isn't getting good result because players are missing so many opportunity. They played exceptionally well, especially against Manchester City. Their situation might improve if they could add any experienced forward to attack. I see no lack of effort on Carrick's part. He cannot be blamed if players are poor at finishing.

You are right, that is what is happening. Carrick's tactics are actually working but he is not able to take advantage of the opportunities that are created. Of course I don't blame finishing for that. Because when Carrick took charge, United were different. Then in January when he won against City and Arsenal and then he became Premier League Manager of the Month. From that we can pretty much say that his tactics are definitely working. But unfortunately the start of the season has been very bad again. United have only got 5 points from the first five league games. So sometimes it seems to me that such a low number of points may not be the result of just missing chances.

Carrick only needed to sign a new contract for his tactics to be taken seriously and revealed to other premier league teams. He is an excellent Manager, but sometimes games can go against you, the results he is getting is not what they expected, but as long as they still have patience in Carrick and his tactics, I still believe he can Manchester United get back to their position again without doubt.

When the international break will be over, all Manchester United need to focus on more is blending well together, they need to have a playing pattern that will be working for them., and from last season, I saw how good they were, but because people were praising him, it now seem everything is turned around. We will see if they will be able get back to top four.

What Jegileman said is the truth, Chelsea has firepower in the front line but how about their back? As a matter of fact, Chelsea has one of the weakest defense among the premier league teams which makes it looks like the effort of the attacks doesn't make much difference because they concede along while they score. Liverpool is more tactical than Chelsea even though they too has their own flaws. Xabi Alonso hasn't figured out the best strategy to use for Chelsea in order for them to remain stable. Andoni Iraola is not special too but his performance is more of someone who can be able to create stability in the team. I think Liverpool will win Chelsea but if they can't, a draw might settle the both teams.

[Adbitco]

I don’t even think Chelsea will be able to win the title this season, am not really satisfied with the pattern of play. Actually Chelsea performance isn’t terrible this season, and the season is just starting, just 5 matches have been played, and their performance has not been so bad in those 5 matches, but Chelsea will still have to improve their performance. I just have the feeling that Arsenal might be the winner of the premier league title this season, but it’s too early to conclude, let’s wait and see, how the season will be.

Chelsea is far beyond a team that's even considered to win the league, before the season started most of these were considered but these numbers of games, they have filtered out. Chelsea should focus on getting back to the champions League, that should be their main focus because, no team can win a league title with such a defence, fixing the defence by January transfer could move them to a champions league spot but not to the summit of the league table. With Chelsea attack, had it been they had a good defence and midfield, Chelsea would have been one of the favourites to win the league but with their current status, there's no way they would.

I certainly agree that Liverpool is a strong team.
However, they don't quite feel like the special, dominant side we saw in previous seasons anymore though the season is long, and perhaps they will recapture that old form.
Right now, something is missing, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is, so I’m not particularly optimistic about Liverpool this season. As for the match itself, Liverpool is the stronger side, but it won't be an easy game.

With Chelsea attack, had it been they had a good defence and midfield, Chelsea would have been one of the favourites to win the league but with their current status, there's no way they would.

Honestly it will be difficult to for Chelsea to win the league right now. It's been long I excluded them from the title race because of their inconsistent performance. Chelsea initially started well but some injuries affected them and the sale of Enzo Fernandez whom they couldn't replace also affect them badly and it's why they are falling off. They still need to add some few players to balance things up but most importantly Caicedo needs to be back to the team as soon as possible.

It's true the best thing they can do is focus on making the champions league next season. Although I won't say they can't fight their way up to the title, we still have a very long season ahead, we are not even half way yet so of they can improve they can still challenge for the league title.

[Solodoski]

When it comes to the league I feel it's still very much early to consider Chelsea as a team with the potentials, yes we have been playing a level of good game (our style of play as improve) but still we are far behind especially with the fact that our reliant on some key players and when they are not available we suffer from it.

City might be able to compete this season still but this is dependent on the punishment given to them while Liverpool once the team fully clicks things will be a lot different.

We might say it's too early to consider teams that are on the title race or not, but I don't think Chelsea will be in the title race this season. They have a very young team with not much of experience. Chelsea still have a lot of problem in their midfield and defense,  so I don't see them competing for the league this season. Liverpool is also in a similar position,  so I don't see them competing for it too. I strongly believe that it will be Arsenal and Manchester City competing for the league again this deacon, because they have both shown they have the quality to go for it.

[Nightwatchmare]

Piece of shit, if Chelsea continues this way without improving their midfield and defensive line, they won't come closer to Liverpool in points before December.
It's clear that Liverpool has performed better than Chelsea from the beginning of the season. Anyone who drags it out is being sentimental about how they watch football. They should check the number of goals both teams have conceded to see whether it is encouraging

Chelsea and Liverpool are just like the two sides of a coin and there no need to compare both teams for now, Liverpool may have more points than Chelsea right now but if Chelsea can improve their defense and midfield, they could become a better team than Liverpool by the end of the season. Chelsea has scored 10 goals and conceded 12 goals in 5 premier league games, while Liverpool scored 7 goals and conceded 4 goals in 5 premier league games. So in terms of scoring goals, Chelsea is better than Liverpool, and Liverpool is better than Chelsea in terms of conceding goals.
