⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

I think this Manchester United Board and Management is not very serious, they’re always going for mediocre level strikers and expect them to perform at the highest. Rubem Amorim who is trying to rebuild the team should do so with good quality players, for Man United to return back. With the kind of players available at Man United right now, they will only aim for the top four if they can make it. They also need to reinforce their goalkeeper position.

So far Manchester United have made two impressive signings in Mbuemo and Cunha but I don’t think that is enough to help them achieve the season’s objectives. They need to strengthen other positions as well like defense and midfield even if they don’t want to sell Andre Onana.

That is very impressive one by Manchester United of being able to sign up two players, Bryan mbuemo was sign from Brentford club  where he played as a right winger and Matheus Cunha is a professional footballer from Brazil who plays as a Striker for Wolves, it is a great achievement that Manchester United succeeded in singing the two players, and they should look forward to sign up more players, like Manchester United needs to build up their defense, midfield and it is good Manchester United was able to sign a striker because with the way they played their first pre season friendly match with Leeds club, i was expecting Manchester United to be victorious over the Leeds but they end up drawing the game to Leeds,  if eventually Manchester should start with this drawing game part, believe me i don't think Manchester United will go far this coming season.

That Manchester United ended playing draw with leads United in their pre season game doesn't guarantee that Manchester United won't perform well this coming season, there are teams who perform well during their pre season games and end up not doing very well when the main season begins let's just wait till the season starts Manchester United has decided to strengthen their team by signing in mbuemo and Cunha I believe this two will contribute massively in the coming season hopefully.

It is impossible to predict which team will win the Premier League title, but it is expected that Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will face a tough competition next season.

In my opinion, the teams that will fight for the title are:

1 - Liverpool

2 - Chelsea

3 - Arsenal

4 - Manchester City

Chelsea has improved a lot, and they're a team that's improving with each game, so I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to win the league. I'm not a Chelsea fan, but I admit they're a strong contender, better than Arsenal and Manchester City on paper. We'll see on the field, but if I had to choose just two teams with the best chance of winning the Premier League, I'd choose Chelsea and Liverpool. Manchester City hasn't yet managed to regain its strength.

Arsenal has had a good start to the season, but by the middle of the season, their performance begins to decline, and by the end of the season, they haven't been able to win anything. Liverpool has had defensive problems in the last few games of the season; if they can't fix that, they may not be able to achieve good results. while chelsea is simply at its highest level, it has no weak points.

Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Xavi Simons. While there haven't been any official offers yet, Simons is reportedly keen on leaving Leipzig. Both of these options are excellent options for the young player, who scored 11 goals and provided 8 assists last season. Xavi Simons is a player who can match the quality of the Premier League. What are your thoughts on this? Would he be successful if he moved to the Premier League?

Yeah really good that he scored 11 goals and eight assists previous season. So far, his goals and creativity indicate that he is ready for the English Premier league. He won't join Bayern Munich. Chelsea is interested and getting ready with a contract for him. Arsenal is keeping a close eye on him as well. But Leipzig wants 70 million pounds for him. You know, he has not proved that he is worth that much money yet, also hasn’t yet faced top-tier PL defences consistently. If he could adapt quickly at one of these big clubs, he would be a success, But that's obviously not certain.

He is just 22 years old with good future is waiting for him. He just played in Bundesliga and still needed to be had given his best if he is heading for Chelsea it's going to be good for them because they needed player like him.

Arsenal already have few good singings with price is also high for them because they are already added few good but Chelsea which is doing the good number of changes needed him for coming season RB Leipzig is having not good season and now things are not favourable for them in coming season as well just because of this he deserves to have good club. But, I have to be agreed with this spending huge amount on player who is risky never been ideal, but someone surely needed to be jumped into this if they are feeling good about him.

[SatoPrincess]

Currently watching the Manchester United vs Leeds game, first half 0-0 as expected   And as things stand United not a full squad just seeing how the new signings like Cunha fit in but of course can't tell because youngsters are playing here today as a mixed team...but when all players are back for duty, we should expect to now see how well the team will settle in and hope it's for the best after reinforcements..but the defense needs a few bolts to make it better.

I believe Cunha will make good impact for Manchester United next season, he is not new to the league so it should be relatively easy to blend in. Speaking to some United supporters they refuse to admit their club is short in defense and will rather strengthen in attack alone than split the cash across all aspects of the team.

[Distraction]

In my opinion, the teams that will fight for the title are:

1 - Liverpool

2 - Chelsea

3 - Arsenal

4 - Manchester City

• Putting Liverpool on top is quite normal. They are already bookies' favourite also. They lifted the PL trophy without making transfers last season. Now they are making many of them.  

• You think Chelsea can finish in the 2nd place? I wouldn't put them there yet by staying under the effect of their CWC success.

• Arsenal already has a great squad. But they still need a striker. Gyökeres is still likely to be signed in case of an agreement with his team.

• Manchester City were very below the expectations last. But I think Guardiola will help them recover. I think they are the 2nd biggest title contender.

Mmmm my main question about this season is Manchester City, i dont really know if they are gonna be again that super team they were of they are gonna be again in troubles and Guardiola era starts to end.

Chelsea also make me doubt, they are way better than other seasons and seems to have find something where they can start to build, but also remains an  unknown.

I agree with you . liverpool are likely to be at the top of the table and chelsea in second place. However  the positions of the two teams in third and fourth place may change.

Liverpool is the most active  team in this transfer market. They already spent a lot of money. also they are ready to spend more money to make the squad strapping. We saw Spice Boys's strong performance last season. So it is expected that their performance will be mighty this season.

Chelsea's squad is quite steady. The team started improving towards the end of the last season. A few days ago the Blueshad a memorable victory against psg in the fifa club world cup. So there is no doubt that the Blues will fight for the title next season

Totally agree with your team predicting who will fight for tittle race season 2024-25 based on current transfer activities, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City have already spent a lot of money to sign several potential players. Next season, Premier League tittle race  very competitive how fourth teams above have solid teams between regular and players at the bench, Chelsea on confidence performance after winning FIFA Club World Cup and not doubt put at the second number as favorable team for Premier League winner next season.

Sadly for Manchester United many fans doubt favorable for winning tittle, in this season finish two position above from relegation team and have advantage for next season not participants at European tournament.

We saw liverpool's strong performance last season. So it is expected that the team's performance will be mighty this season.

Wow, this is a bit tricky, because this season is quite different. At least if we look at some of the signings and performances recently, there have been several eye-catching and attention-grabbing players, making us believe that this season, they could truly be serious contenders.
If we were to go by that, the order would probably be like this:
1. Liverpool
2. Arsenal
3. Chelsea
4. Manchester City

Furthermore, given how the transfer market is going, it's very possible there will be some more changes. This is crazy. Many top players are leaving for the Premier League this time.

And currently, both Chelsea and Arsenal are competing to get Xavi Simons who wants to LEAVE Leipzig.

I mean Chelsea finally has a credible centre-forward above all else - João Pedro.    This makes me look more positive about them for next season.

Look at the striker options they have.



Let's say Felix, Broja, Guiu and Fofana won't be a part of them or find much of a playing time. They still have 4 more strikers.

I don't think Jackson will be able to fight his way to the main lineup easily as of now.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man City are clubs that have had considerable dominance in the previous season and in the past few seasons. Last season, Liverpool showed extraordinary performance, and in this transfer window they have made extraordinary changes, so it is very possible that they can continue to be at the top. Regarding Arsenal, as we know, they are a club that has the most consistent performance in each season, but it is regrettable that the team has not been able to win the title, and facing the new season it seems they have quite big plans, where at this time in addition to bringing in Simons from Leipzig, they are also trying to be able to bring in Gyokeres from Sporting and have shown interest in being able to become Rodrygo when Real Madrid is indeed real. And regarding Chelsea, they surprised, what they achieved in the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup, they have shown that they are one of the strongest, so it is very possible that they can achieve even more brilliant achievements in their new season in the EPL. Meanwhile, regarding Manchester City, their performance wasn't particularly bad last season, but because they failed to win a single trophy that season, they have strong motivation to bounce back.

Furthermore, given how the transfer market is going, it's very possible there will be some more changes. This is crazy. Many top players are leaving for the Premier League this time.

And currently, both Chelsea and Arsenal are competing to get Xavi Simons who wants to LEAVE Leipzig.

In this summer's transfer window, the Dutch attacking midfielder has attracted interest from several major clubs. Not only is he performing well, but at his young age, he clearly represents a promising player for any club looking to sign him. Chelsea and Arsenal have expressed interest in the player, but the big question is whether he will move to the Premier League or remain in the Bundesliga, as Bayern Munich has also made a substantial offer for him.

• Manchester City were very below the expectations last. But I think Guardiola will help them recover. I think they are the 2nd biggest title contender.

I will be choosing Chelsea football club to win next Premier league title over Liverpool despite Liverpool being the current Premier league champions, but seeing the performances of Chelsea in their last couple of games in the conference league and the club world cup, I think there's really a fantastic job and upgrade that has been done on the team and their strength improved, I guess their top priority next season will be lifting the Premier League and champions league title .

[SmartCharpa]

Last season, Arsenal's toughest rival was Liverpool, but this season, Arsenal will have to face another tough rival and that tough rival is Manchester City. Last season, we did not see Manchester City at the top of the points table because Manchester City's performance was inconsistent last season, but next season, they will definitely want to start anew and win the English Premier League title again. In the past few seasons, we have seen Arsenal hold the second position of the Premier League strongly, but if Liverpool performs like last season and Manchester City returns to their best rhythm next season, then it will be difficult for Arsenal to hold the second position of the points table, although Arsenal will fight to ensure the top position of the points table next season. 

It is impossible to predict which team will win the Premier League title, but it is expected that Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will face a tough competition next season.

Manchester City isn't the only strong club that Arsenal will have to compete with next season. Perhaps you forget that Chelsea recent performance was good, and they appear to be ahead of Manchester City as the favorite team to win the league. Arsenal performance was poor last season, and they finished second as usual, if not, last season was the best for them to fight Liverpool for the league title because Manchester City were not in good shape and str to be in good shape.

Of course, predicting which clubs will win the league title next season would be tough because every Premier League club has spent a lot of money on signing players. Liverpool just bought Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt for €95m, after paying €120m to sign Florian Wirtz. Liverpool seems to be the favorite club since they will still add more players before the season, but we'll see how the season goes.

[barbara44]

Liverpool is a club that give there players a lot of time to adapt to life in there new environment, Hugo Ekitike is a grate player and Liverpool is going to give him all the time he needs to deliver considering that he is very young and the talent is there, and it will not only depend on scoring goals but assist and how to link up play, there would be no sort of pressure whatsoever for him, They have Mohammed Salah who have been carrying the team for a long time now and he is expected to once again carry the goal scoring as a priority, Nunez have really not have a good streak of goals at Liverpool but I don’t think he is doing badly, he scored some goals, How will anyone in Liverpool squad out score Salah, I’m still wondering about that, Hugo Ekitike will settle in and he will be part of a grate teams and he will deliver for the team. The fans are going to support him because Liverpool fans always support their players, Just like the Liverpool fans have been supporting Nunez and he is also loved by the fans. My hopes are high for Hugo Ekitike and he will definitely deliver for this Liverpool team.

When you pay 90 million for a player, how long could you give a player to get better? I mean they have spent 300+ million this season just on transfers so far, not sure if they are done or if they are looking for more, but f they are done, even that is a lot, if they get even more, that is insane. After you spend that much money on a summer, more than anyone else, "just getting used to it" is not an excuse people will accept.

Yes I know they won the league, but they spent 300+ million on a team that already won the league, which means fans will want yet another title, and if possible, some UCL success as well. If they do not get any of those, then they are going to end up with bunch of trouble and that is not going to be easy at all to convince fans to wait for it to get better.

We'll see on the field, but if I had to choose just two teams with the best chance of winning the Premier League, I'd choose Chelsea and Liverpool. Manchester City hasn't yet managed to regain its strength.

I agreed with your prediction because they were the teams that finished in the top four of the English Premier League table last season, and they are still performing well. The only team that is struggling to improve is Manchester City, but I believe Pep Guardiola will change tactics to strengthen his team because they're all focused on signing new players to improve their squads, which will make the league more competitive and challenging. However, I think Chelsea will surpass Manchester City and Arsenal this season based on Chelsea current play, and I view Chelsea and Liverpool will be the strong contenders for the English Premier League title.

I will be choosing Chelsea football club to win next Premier league title over Liverpool despite Liverpool being the current Premier league champions, but seeing the performances of Chelsea in their last couple of games in the conference league and the club world cup, I think there's really a fantastic job and upgrade that has been done on the team and their strength improved, I guess their top priority next season will be lifting the Premier League and champions league title .

Based on Chelsea's performances, I think they will have a lot of success this season and have a big influence on the UEFA Champions League, but I'm still not sure if they can win the Champions League title. They might make it to the round of 16 or quarterfinals, but I doubt they'll reach the semifinals, let alone the final.

There is absolutely nothing you will tell me again that I won't believe with this your statement that you are a Chelsea fan 🤣, c'mon bro, Chelsea to win the league? Well I think it's a personal choice and can't argue with your choice but to be frank I just hope Chelsea actually lives up to this expectation and hyped they have given all their fans because the will soon start and it would be really sad seeing a totally different Chelsea entirely.

Among the teams mentioned here - Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have dominated the last few seasons but the Reds have dominated the season just ended. However which teams will be able to play a significant role in the upcoming season can be understood through their transfer rumors and their strong presence in the transfer market. There is no doubt that Liverpool Football Club will be able to continue their streak again next season because we can see that they are the only team that is playing a brave role in the transfer window so far because they still have the possibility of buying Los Blancos' best players. On the other hand Arsenal Football Club is not far behind, they also have numerous options and even consider Victor Gyokeres to be available.

The season hasn't even started yet, and predictions are mixed, especially considering the transfer market activity of the elite EPL teams as they look to compete for the title next season. I think Manchester City will be Liverpool's main rival this season, and I don't mean to underestimate Arsenal and Chelsea.

But I'm confident Pep Guardiola can revive a team that slumped last season and improve next season. Manchester City will remain the strongest under Pep Guardiola. Just look at how he dominated before and won back-to-back EPL trophies. Usually, managers who have experienced such a situation, even if they slump for just one season, dominate again the following season. I admit Chelsea have indeed improved, especially after winning the CWC trophy, but in my opinion, they haven't been able to consistently play 38 games until the end of the season, plus there are so many competitions to go through in a season.

So, my predictions:
1. Liverpool
2. Manchester City
3. Arsenal
4. Chelsea

[ITExpert]

Chelsea was not just lucky they deserved what they achieved since they started very well from the day 1 of the club world cup competition, getting to the finals they proved himself and right and proved everyone who never believed that they could lift the trophy wrong. Enzo Maresca has proven himself in the competition and for next season every team needs to be ready because the league is going to be more competitive.

Chelsea proved themselves by their performance and in the way there is no doubt left behind about their strength. Because improvements are seen in their game how dedicatedly and passionately they changed themselves towards success. They make the people surprised who thought that it is impossible for Chelsea to grab the trophy. And the behaviour of the audience towards the team definitely boosts their confidence to achieve even more. I think Chelsea got success with the strategy Which makes them able to win and face the strong opponent. Chelsea will continue to keep playing while keeping themselves in the same way. Because their recent achievement and the appreciation of the achievement keep their morale high.

Chelsea's players are diligent. And we have seen that they have improved a lot, even though there are no star players in the squad. In addition  Chelsea has proven their ability by dominating and winning by a large margin against a strong team like psg  in the Club World Cup.

Even then, I have a lot of doubts whether Chelsea will be able to do well next season. Especially not be able to fight for the title. It is very difficult to perform well consistently in two competitive platforms like the Champions League and the Premier League. Playing in a busy schedule also increases the chances of players getting injured. Moreover, we have seen Chelsea in very few seasons to continue their good performance for the entire season. So it is not possible to predict with certainty whether Chelsea will be able to compete with teams like City, Arsenal and Liverpool next season.
