Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

Yes you know, sometimes there is room for debate about whether the decisions were fair. But in this case, it was so obvious who deserved to be named the best goalkeeper that there was absolutely no doubt about it. Honestly I stopped following these awards a long time ago because I believe the whole process is so corrupt that there is very little room for deserving winners.

It's obvious that David Raya was robbed for the award of the best goalkeeper,  because we all knew that he did better Unai Simon last season. I really don't understand why he was not giving the award, because he was definitely the best goalkeeper last season. I think the organizers of the award have to explain to us what criteria that was used in giving the award, because if they claim is the world why was Lamine Yamal not be crowned as the world best. I think the award is corrupt and there are a lot of politics going on behind the scene.

I think the public and also some media personalities are becoming too critical things when it comes to individual awards, not everything should be tagged as corruption. Sometimes it is just basic criteria that were followed and whoever meets them gets the award. Perhaps what was put ore into account as criteria was big tournament moments and the World Cup win and also a Golden Glove. If you genuinely put those into account, then it will by far beat any strong good season on the club side. And that has nothing to do with politics but the grand rule. No doubt Raya had a great season, but Simon had a great summer tournament and the voters decided to favor the summer tournament.

I think that the world cup participation was a major criteria to the ballon D'or award selection because David Raya had a better performance over Unai Simon in club competitions but was surprising benched in the world cup. Also, the case of Olise is also up for a debate too because I'm still yet to understand why he would be ranked 9th position in the Ballon D'or.

Lamine Yamal was a good contender for the Ballon D'or but Harry Kane was a better player last season and he deserves the award more than anyone.

Manchester United management has finally break silence after the humiliating defeat from Como and Bournemouth, the management has decided to give Michael Carrick more chance if things could change after the Chelsea match, as many Manchester United fans was expecting a sack news from the management, and Michael Carrick himself actually believe, he could do something better in the club, as his confidence is still very much intact, but let's watch how the Chelsea match will go first before I will say a word about the chance given to to him.

Management is doing a good job because they need to give more time. He did well in last season, but now suddenly they are again on the same level, where things have never been, allowing them to have better results. 8 matches, 1 win, while they conceded 13 goals—it's the worst performance from them. With a high chance of coming a few games, they are going to slip further because 5 games all need enough challenging performance, but their defense is terrible.

Chelsea, AS Roma, and then Aston Villa. After them, Liverpool and Sporting CP life is not as easy as Manchester United. With these matches in the coming month, how many weeks will be given chances for me? Eddie Howe is coming with much better ideas and performance chances.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I will be sad if Carrick is let go after he helped Manchester United recover and qualify for the Champions League, I felt he was the man for the club, which is why i also observe from another perspective that Manchester United problem is not coming from coach, the players are unreliable, even with a different, better coach than Carrick, Manchester United performance will be no different.

It won't just be sad, it will be a huge mistake by the club if they fire Carrick, who has so much to offer but so little to work with. It's obvious the players are demotivated; you just don't see that passion for the badge anymore. They're just going through the motions. Bruno's performance, in my opinion, is pathetic. He has a massive ego, but he doesn't have the performance level to back it up. Even if he did, he needs to show more humility. I think Manchester United's biggest mistake right now is failing to bring in new players to give the team a breath of fresh air. From one moment to the next, they went from looking solid to being terrible. Carrick, just do what you can.

[Lembo69]

With the level of Chelsea’s attack, I don’t think their match against Manchester United should be what should be used to test their ability to be back on form; they can lose that match easily unless for the fact that Chelsea also have injured players, but their loss against Tottenham is something they will want to revenge against United, but what is interesting is that, big matches are always different.

From the news I saw, I see that the captain and the coach are in the same page, they are ready to face Chelsea, I just wish Chelsea manager to lose to Manchester United because everything is possible.

It would be wrong to look at the matter so simply one-sidedly, Chelsea are also quite strong in their attack and equally strong in their defense. It would not be right to see Xabi Alonso so easily, anything can happen in a big match. Similarly, United are in 16th place in the point table and Chelsea are in 5th place, and their recent results are making unitedder results worse. And Chelsea is on the rise. United can only take advantage of the absence of Chelsea's injured players, although they are able to play offensively. If e Martinez was not injured, then United might have struggled more. Because then Chelsea's defense would have been stronger. Similarly, United's forward player b sesko is injured. So I don't think it would be logical to wait for the Chelsea manager to lose in advance, but anything can happen in the game.

[Issa56]

It won't just be sad, it will be a huge mistake by the club if they fire Carrick, who has so much to offer but so little to work with.

I feel Manchester United will end up regretting if they sack Carrick, because even the new coach which they will sign might even be worst than Carrick. Manchester United fans are already requesting for Carrick sack, and if Carrick performance doesn’t improve, Manchester United management might end up sacking Carrick, but who are they going to replace him with if they sack him?

Let’s see how Manchester United will perform in their next match against Chelsea, if Manchester United is unable to win Chelsea, then maybe they will just allow Carrick go, but let’s see how the match will be, and let’s see the decision which the management are going to make after the match. Instead of sacking Carrick, they should sell some players, and bring in some new players which are ready to play for the club.

Manchester United should have learn from their past mistakes in handling club's crisis most especially the dressing room crisis and issues with coaches, the past few seasons have been bad for the club because Manchester United as a team keep recycling coaches almost evertime and each time is that a coach get sacked because he can't meet up with demands set before him by the club management.


Now Carrickin is in the middle of such crisis again with Manchester United despite all his efforts to revive to clubs and the results that shown in the last season, now Manchester United will have to start all over again if this get through and another period of wasting and under performing for the Club.

[Obari]

The match against Chelsea will be really tough, i don't know if they will be able to win in the end, but they have to prove that all their play that they have done up to now is of some use, otherwise Carrick and the whole team deserve to be eliminated, such a prestigious club cannot afford to play in this way.
For me negative outlook for Chelsea, still.

Chelsea have a lethal attack with the likes of Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer, they're suicidal in front of goals. They know how to score goals and their linkup play is very much vigorous. Chelsea will be facing Manchester United this weekend, what do they have against the Red Devils? We know Manchester United are not in good form and they're in pretty bad shape but something just pop up in my head, is this the game that Michael Carrick and the players will utilized inother to redeem themselves? Let's see how everything goes this weekend.

[Tamaperdana]

Arsenal has been performing well like the champions that they are. I support Arsenal to win the Premier league this season. I feel bad that Manchester United isn't performing up to the standard anymore, I think they have a bit of a down time this season as they've started poorly. Hopefully with time they will retrace their steps and get back their glory.

Arsenal is currently consistently playing very well. The proof is that they are still clinging to second place in the Premier League with the same number of points as Manchester City. So that's clearly very good, because if Manchester City makes even one mistake, their position at the top of the Premier League will definitely be taken by Arsenal.

So if you're hoping Arsenal can climb to first place in the Premier League, yes, you just need to be patient. Because I'm very sure Manchester City will definitely make mistakes that will cause them to lose points and their position will be taken by Arsenal. Then talking about Manchester United, I think it's better if you don't have too much hope for this team.

Because if you don't already know, this team has not been able to win the Premier League for over a decade. That's clearly not good for a team like them who used to be champions. So now we'll just see what happens to them this season. Because it seems they are very comfortable being at the bottom of the standings.

We know Manchester United are not in good form and they're in pretty bad shape but something just pop up in my head, is this the game that Michael Carrick and the players will utilized inother to redeem themselves? Let's see how everything goes this weekend.

Manchester United will not be able to perform very well because I have a question that can they perform so well in just one week? Because the way Manchester United has started their performance, they are losing to weak teams. If Michael wants to improve Manchester United's performance, then he must magically improve it, because this season Manchester United has only seen them lose points. Players including Michael Carrick will have to change, then they will be able to produce good performances like in the past.

Chelsea have a great team to score goals for, but their defence has not been up to the mark. I was surprised by their performance in the last match and the 2-0 defeat against Tottenham. They deserve to win against Manchester United at the weekend. Carrick is looking for ways to improve his team's performance, although he has failed repeatedly. I had confidence in Chelsea's attack as they have played well against stronger teams than Tottenham in the past and won. You are right that Carrick is working on improving the players and trying his best to correct his mistakes. He will want to win against Chelsea but Xabi Alonso is more desperate to get back to winning ways.

Chelsea vs Man United

This should be an easy match for Chelsea. They currently have good tactics and players who are capable of implementing Alonso's game plan to keep scoring big wins. And what about MU? Don't even ask. Everyone knows their weaknesses at this point. Chelsea's odds are currently 1.76. Doesn't that look tempting?

Liverpool vs Arsenal

I admit that Arsenal still haven't found a way to beat Liverpool in their recent meetings. Their last five encounters have ended in either a draw or a Liverpool win. But this time, I'm really confident that Arsenal will win, even if it's only by a small margin. Arsenal's odds are 2.24. If you want a safer option, you can go for double chance (draw or Arsenal) at odds 1.4.

Man United is currently in a declining form, but Chelsea shouldn't underestimate their performance in this meeting. Man United is currently improving, so they could beat Chelsea in this meeting as no team can predict a comeback.

Indeed, Chelsea is far better than Manchester United in the standings, especially as the home team boasts several excellent players up front a stark contrast to the visiting team's. I strongly believe Michael Carrick will aim for full points at Chelsea's home ground, as they are currently under pressure from their own fans having failed to achieve the desired results in their previous matches. Therefore, I hope this will be a positive outcome for Manchester United especially as they are one of the top teams in the Premier League. Chelsea is also continuing to prepare to defeat Manchester United in this encounter especially at home.

Let's see how everything goes this weekend.

In this game, I think anything is possible, because despite Chelsea being ahead of Manchester United, it doesn't guarantee them an easy win. This is because Manchester United is a team that is absolutely unpredictable, as they can surprise you in a game where you don't expect them to do better.

But I wouldn't conclude yet, because their poor performance this season is something else; they are going through a lot in the premier League. So let's see if they can get a win against Chelsea, since they are not always trustworthy.

Both teams have gaps, Chelsea are struggling defensively and the midfield leaves plenty of space, Manchester United are at a delicate moment considering their current performances, which are not the best.
In my opinion it's not such a predictable match, on the one hand Chelsea could take advantage of Manchester's moment of weakness, on the other hand Manchester United could raise their heads and push for victory.
Looking at the odds, users are coveting Chelsea's victory (as we know, bookmakers' odds are based on users' choices).
They could change the odds just before the game, but I don't think of a drastic change (they definitely won't reverse).

With the level of Chelsea’s attack, I don’t think their match against Manchester United should be what should be used to test their ability to be back on form; they can lose that match easily unless for the fact that Chelsea also have injured players, but their loss against Tottenham is something they will want to revenge against United, but what is interesting is that, big matches are always different.

Chelsea vs Manchester United have already been the most interesting fixture in the English premier league, even though both teams are not in their best form because of the rivalry that existed between them and the fans.

Most football lovers are ruling out the chances of Manchester United but they do not understand that Manchester United is a team that always stood up to the occasion if it is against Chelsea, so it is because of that I will be betting on a draw, because I don't think that Chelsea will want to lose to Manchester United this time around, considering the bad record they have against Manchester United in recent times.

[Chilwell]

Manchester United will not be able to perform very well because I have a question that can they perform so well in just one week? Because the way Manchester United has started their performance, they are losing to weak teams. If Michael wants to improve Manchester United's performance, then he must magically improve it, because this season Manchester United has only seen them lose points. Players including Michael Carrick will have to change, then they will be able to produce good performances like in the past.

They are seriously face a lot of challenges which I believe it is not going to be possible for them to recover within short time, they will just be managing since the match cannot be paused until maybe after international break they will be able to fix a lot of things. I found it very difficult to admit that Michael Carrick is still the one managing Manchester United up to this moment. They have a lot of competitions which they have to reduce some loads so that they will have enough time to recover.

I can't actually say anything now regarding their next match against Chelsea, I know it's not going to be easy for the body teams but I expected a Very Wonderful performance for Manchester United. When is two teams comes together even though one is not in good form they still try hard to make things tough for both of them.

[Altryist]

Liverpool vs Arsenal

I admit that Arsenal still haven't found a way to beat Liverpool in their recent meetings. Their last five encounters have ended in either a draw or a Liverpool win. But this time, I'm really confident that Arsenal will win, even if it's only by a small margin. Arsenal's odds are 2.24. If you want a safer option, you can go for double chance (draw or Arsenal) at odds 1.4.

I like Arsenal more at the moment, but Liverpool are also on a good winning run. So I probably wouldn't try to predict the winner in this match. By the way, Liverpool rarely draw, and the same goes for Arsenal. But Liverpool concede goals quite often, almost in every match, so I'd probably consider a bet on Arsenal to score here.

[Ashawowo(OS)]

Chelsea, AS Roma, and then Aston Villa. After them, Liverpool and Sporting CP life is not as easy as Manchester United. With these matches in the coming month, how many weeks will be given chances for me? Eddie Howe is coming with much better ideas and performance chances.

These matches would really test Manchester united, but I'm afraid they might not pass those tests, not with their kind of performance. The morale of the players are very low, such low confidence never brings positive results. I support the management to give him more time actually. Bringing in a new coach would still affect the players as they would struggle a bit to transition to the tactics of the new manager. On a broader view, I see Carrick leaving, but its good the management is buying him more time.

I can say you speak like an Arsenal Fan, because I absolutely don’t see how Arsenal are going to beat Liverpool in this game, it’s absolutely impossible that Arsenal comes to Anfield and beat this Andoni Iraola Team, it seems like you’ve not seen what Liverpool is capable of doing right now, Liverpool have only lost one game against Manchester City, and Liverpool lost that game because of the Red card to Ryan Gravenberch, Liverpool was performing well and controlling the game before the Red card, and was playing a better football and creating chances, I don’t see how Arsenal is going to win this game, Arsenal can only get a draw against Liverpool at Anfield, for your information the spirit of Anfield is back after the bad situation Liverpool found themselves after the tragic loss of Diogo Jota.
