Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[Solokan]

Manchester United were very unlucky not to win against Aston Villa, and yesterday's match ended in a 4-4 draw. I was surprised by Manchester United's performance. Why was that? Because I remember in yesterday's match, Manchester United conceded 2 goals in less than 5 minutes, and this shows that Manchester United needs to improve everything. Manchester United now only got 1 point from that match and as a result, Manchester United is in the relegation zone. I didn't expect Manchester United to be in the relegation zone because Manchester United is certainly a famous team and at the end of last season they rose and finally got a ticket to the Champions League. Now I want to ask you, do you think Manchester United will rise again and get out of the relegation zone or not? Of course, there is still a chance for Manchester United to rise and get out of the relegation zone.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I'm left with no choice but to agree with you.  

A 4-4 draw isn't the problem at all now, how did they end up conceiving so much goals is what we should be worried about. The only reason they were able to make that late equalizer was because of Aston Villa's weak defensive style of play, otherwise a 2-4 would have ended it all.

Scoring goals is good but a club like Manchester United shouldn’t be this poor defensively. I’m honestly not impressed because this same issue keeps coming up and until they fix it, I don’t see any real improvement.

  First of all, things won't change with a player like Diogo Dalot in that team. How many times have we witnessed in real time how he overlaps and leaves his position open, only to find him running down from the RWD back to cover his defensive line. What type of LB is that? If he badly wants to convert, then maybe Carrick should consider moving him forward since, under intensed pressure, he usually finds himself in the opponent's critical areas.

Lenny Yoro and Luke Shaw cannot be left of this discussion. The inconsistency is draining the club more than it should build it, but guess who takes all the blame? Michael Carrick.

[knowngunman]

There's nothing to be said or written about Manchester United furthermore,  it is either the management leaves or the coach gets sacked, these are the two options we want.
A club like Manchester United should win all of their next ten fixtures, but look at them, all wacky and subpar. Michael Carrick should be sacked and a couple players leaving the club. We're due for a change and none between the current owners and Michael Carrick can give that to us. Hopefully our next match against Liverpool we get to be hammerd heavily.

But to be honest, yesterday's match was not that bad for Manchester united. They were down 2-0 and we both know that Manchester United would have lost that game on a norms but they fought hard and make a late comeback to draw the game. The fighting spirit is what those guys are lacking but they are improving lately and that's why I do have the belief that the coach should not be be blame for all of this issue affecting them.

The management can do whatever they want to do either to keep Carrick or let him go. I'm not a Man united fan so I'm fine with any decision they deem fit to take but as a neutral person I can say that compared to previous matches, United have improved this few days. They're still far from expectation but they can not achieve that overnight, it has to be gradual and this is the sign. They just have to remain consistent henceforth.

[Tamaperdana]

I think EPL was very interesting this week as many people among us have lost the money that we used to bet, especially we that went for parley. Manchester United disappointed us yesterday, but Chelsea continued the disappointment today, while Manchester United helped finished the disappointment. I was not expecting much from Manchester United though like I was expecting from Manchester City and Chelsea.

Yes, currently Manchester United has officially entered the relegation zone, and we don't know how long they will remain in that position. This is clearly very sad, because the team that we previously thought would be very strong this season has actually become very weak. So this is clearly very ironic, because they were originally a big team with expensive players. But yes, the title of a big team is clearly not a benchmark. Because basically, if we look at this decade, Manchester United is clearly not a big team anymore. Because whatever great achievements they have had in this decade, it is clearly not too much. Because they have never won the English league again. So this is truly sad, because Manchester United is a team with a very large fan base in the world. So now I believe many people are slowly losing their idols for this team. Because for several seasons they have only struggled to avoid relegation, and that is very serious. And talking about Chelsea, I think they are still better, because currently they are still in the top five in the English league.

[Agbamoni]

No o, nothing should happen to Carrick, i want to see how far he can go with this squad and i think their major problems is how relaxed the players play when on the field, just a little observation from my end. I feel the players are relaxed and thats not a coaching problem but i will say they have management problem and thats why they keep getting players who do not match their playing style. Long story short, nothing should do Carrick as head coach for MAN U, at least till new year, let us enjoy small banter.

The problem remains the defense. Give Arsenal second team defenders. In the likes of Ben White, Hincapie, Mosquera and Konsa, Manchester United will be in top 4.

Arsenal, which is 19 points above Manchester United at the top of the EPL, has scored 15 goals in the EPL, and Manchester United has 14 goals. If Manchester were conceeding less, keeping clean sheet with that goalie, they will be at the top.

[bastisisca]

I falls into your shoes of losing interest towards their game your observations is not new the reason they lost 4:1 to como is not far from weak defense, imagine conceiving two goals at home in four minutes start of the game where team is full of energy, them yesterday equalizing the game making it a drawing seem to commend their efforts but not even worth commendable because they are having that opportunity as home advantage to even take the three point victory if they really know their stand, through out the beginning of this season watching man united team is more like watching porn mostly when you place them in your bet or slip, most of my Lost which I have encountered this season is directly coming from the team in ability to deliver expectations.

We must not take Como as an example, which is literally going through a state of total grace, and this is why they won against Manchester United, they are teams that had to win at all costs, but overall we can say that the situation is not the best and that for now they are in the relegation zone, i haven't seen something like this for years.

Yes there's every possibility that they are getting out of that relegation zone, because I strongly believe teams like Coventry won't end ahead of Manchester United, it's just a matter of time, and there's still time for them to turn things around, don't be surprised Manchester United will end up in a more pleasant position than most of this teams you people believe they are doing well, with what Manchester United played yesterday I'm certain if they should achieve what they really want from the management, they will definitely end up in top four.

They remain very weak defensively and concede far too many goals. In my view, having watched yesterday’s match, it seemed as though the Manchester United players were moving around the pitch chaotically, lacking any clear strategy or instructions from the manager, it was as if each player was trying to do things on their own, with no sign of a cohesive team effort. It’s strange that Manchester United has been mired in such a deep crisis for so many consecutive seasons, even after a promising run of form, they always end up right back where they started.

[pusaka]

Surprisingly Manchester City had to be subdued from a team that could only get 1 victory before they won against Manchester City, Nottingham Forest. Manchester City lost 3-1 in this game which I think was quite embarrassing, and not only that, it was also their 3rd consecutive defeat in the Premier League after previous defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton.

Actually there is nothing wrong with their performance in this match, but they missed at the beginning of the match with 2 goals lodged into their goal. And at the time of attacking cool they also let their guard down so Nottingham Forest could create their 3rd goal.

Brighton beat Brentford, and now City drop to 3rd place. The international break will come in handy for them, as they can clear their heads and try to put an end to this run of bad results. The championship is nowhere near over, but this slump has definitely messed with their heads a little.

This result makes Arsenal more comfortable at the top of the table, now they are 5 points from 2nd place and 6 points from 3rd place. This is a big advantage for Arsenal, because at least they can be more comfortable at the top of the table with such a point advantage although of course Arsenal must focus on winning in order to maintain the distance.

Manchester city must refocus, because 3 defeats in a row will not be good for their mentality. The competition is still very long, so they still have a lot of great opportunities to reduce the distance with Arsenal.

[Cossyblack]

Their position is very bad, I thought we would see a lot of good things from them this season, not only from Manchester United but also from Chelsea this season, but Chelsea are in a good position, but Manchester United are in a bad position and if their current performance continues, they will definitely go to the bottom of the points table. They need to improve very soon, if they cannot improve themselves, they will surely gradually become like the teams at the bottom of the points table.

Isn't it obvious to you that's where they are headed, to the bottom of the table. They might be relegated to the championship since the board members are behaving as if they have been bewitched by Carrick. It seem like they are under a spell because ordinarily, Carrick should have been sacked for bringing the club into the relegation zone. I can you tell you for free that this season is the worst in the entire history of Manchester United.  It has never been this terrible before yet, the board members are turning blind eyes to a situation this serious that could send them to the championship.

PGMOL have reportedly acknowledged a VAR error in Sunderland's penalty against Chelsea and apologised for the decision.

The controversial incident involved Levi Colwill and Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey.

Brobbey and Colwill were battling for position inside the Chelsea penalty area when the Sunderland striker went down following a physical tussle. Referee Jarred Gillett pointed to the spot, with Enzo Le Fée converting to give Sunderland the lead.

However, the decision has sparked controversy, with questions raised over whether Brobbey initiated the contact and whether the incident was simply a one-on-one physical battle between the two players.

Chelsea were left frustrated, especially after Cole Palmer had earlier been denied a penalty following a VAR review.

Of course, there is still a chance for Manchester United to rise and get out of the relegation zone.

Instead of me saying Manchester United were unlucky not to win the match, I would rather say that Aston Villa were the team that were unlucky not to win the game because they were the ones who were leading first, while Manchester United were lucky to equalise. In the first half, they were lucky to equalise the two goals, and the same thing applied to the second half.I feel that if there had been more time, Aston Villa would still have scored more goals, while Manchester United would only have tried to equalise again. If Manchester United were really serious about winning the match, the opportunities they had after equalising the two first-half goals should have given them the motivation to come into the second half with the same spirit. However, they relaxed, waiting for Aston Villa to score before trying to equalise again.

The way they are approaching their matches means it will take a lot of luck for them to win. There are some teams that are very good defensively, and once they score, it becomes extremely difficult for their opponents to equalise.If Manchester United were serious, there would be a high chance of them moving out of the relegation zone very soon because they have the kind of players who can make it happen. However, their lack of seriousness is what has kept them in the relegation zone.

Bold reasoning In reality, Arsenal has a modest number of goals scored, and United’s 14 goals shouldn’t even be compared to Arsenal’s tally. Why aren’t you comparing them to the 15 goals scored by Ipswich (which are in 14th place), or the 16 goals from Bournemouth and Brentford (which sit in 7th and 8th place)? Obviously, if you don’t concede any goals at all, things will go well - theoretically, 10 goals would be enough over 10 rounds to secure 30 points - but in reality, that’s not how it works. United are bad in all lines at the moment.

On the contrary, Man United were lucky because they managed to hold Aston Villa to a draw rather than having to lose 3 points. Anyone watching the game would say the same thing.
The chances of getting out of the relegation zone are still considerable, as long as Carrick and the players rekindle the chemistry. Unfortunately in the upcoming match their opponent is Liverpool so most likely 3 points will be very difficult to get.

I believe that in the near future, Man Utd will be able to climb out of the relegation zone. In my opinion, in the match against Aston Villa, we saw some positive changes in the team, even though they ultimately only managed a draw but I’m now confident that against an average opponent, Man Utd might be able to win. But I’m more worried about the next Premier League match against Liverpool. And since we’ll have a break before that, given the depth of Man Utd’s squad most of whom are active with their respective national teams, there’s a concern that the positive changes we’ve started to see might fade away again.

All I can say about Man Utd is that I’m disappointed. But that doesn’t mean there’s no hope.

Predictable pattern by PGMOL. It seems this thing needs to be investigated. So many times PGMOL did wrong decision, yet the points could still be given. So i think there must be a new rule to void the points won by team due to the wrong decision by them.


Jarred Gillett destroyed my bet, and he's Sunderland's MOTM. Jarred Gillett must be fired. He's not fit to refereeing the EPL game. There must be a serious punishment for this inconsistent referee and VAR. What's wrong with EPL by hired those dumb people that makes the game treated unfairly.

But how long would this continue in the Premier League, a League as big as the Premier League we keep having this awful officiating and it absolutely doesn’t make me happy at all, the same thing happened to Liverpool in the Premier League last week against Arsenal, Liverpool had a clear penalty and it wasn’t awarded to Liverpool and that caused Liverpool the 3 points, this same week Arsenal got the same penalty awarded to them, but it was cancelled because Kai Havertz was flagged offside, the same Arteta who was saying it wasn’t a penalty against Timber was asking for the same penalty when his player was pulled on the shirt is that not injustice, it keeps favoring Arsenal and that doesn’t make me happy at all, PGMOL is corrupt, My question is what is the essence of the apology when the point is already lost, I have previously said that when this official makes this kind of mistakes they should be suspended from officiating without payment so they can suffer for their mistakes, it’s happening every week and it has now been normalized in the Premier League.

Manchester United were very unlucky not to win against Aston Villa, and yesterday's match ended in a 4-4 draw. I was surprised by Manchester United's performance.

Manchester United were very lucky to equalize all goals and take a point from that encounter, I've already concluded that it's another loss for United but Zirkzee and Dorgu goals within the space of 2 minutes saved the day and handed them a point for their stress.

I didn't expect Manchester United to be in the relegation zone because Manchester United is certainly a famous team and at the end of last season they rose and finally got a ticket to the Champions League.

WHAT The FUCK ARE YOU SAYING?
Since when did being in the relegation zone become a product of lack of popularity or your getting a champions League ticket become a criteria not to be in that zone?
Manchester United has been playing very poorly and getting bad results for a good time now and the little points they've gathered kept them in the relegation zone.

[Rockson1]

Yes there's every possibility that they are getting out of that relegation zone, because I strongly believe teams like Coventry won't end ahead of Manchester United, it's just a matter of time, and there's still time for them to turn things around, don't be surprised Manchester United will end up in a more pleasant position than most of this teams you people believe they are doing well, with what Manchester United played yesterday I'm certain if they should achieve what they really want from the management, they will definitely end up in top four.

Are we still talking about Manchester United moving out of the red zone? That is very shameful to even discuss, I know that there performance has changed some how, but what is 4:4 results please, so it has become a normal thing to start looking for a way to equalize their opponents when they were the ones that allowed the goals, this is not a good result for me, why are they always giving those chances for their opponents to score first, if Aston Villa was an experienced team, I do not think that Manchester United will equalize those goals, let's be realistic, if Manchester United keep playing like as they are doing currently, it might be difficult for them to get things in order, they need to win matches not drawing today and losing next, that pattern won't help them.

Manchester United team still can't get out of the dangerous place, just you can't forget their past losing story by looking at the result of this match. Gradually Manchester United team is at the bottom of the point table, what has helped many gamblers lose money. However, if Manchester United can win against strong teams then I will think that their performance has improved a little, besides this season they are just spending time and money.
Besides, they could not improve their performance, but if they want to survive this season quickly, improving their performance is the most important thing.
