⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[bitcoin_mining]

Next week the Premier League is finally going to be underway.  

And we are starting the season with a lovely game like Manchester United - Arsenal.



Here is the odds. Not much surprising. Or maybe Arsenal could have had lower odds considering last season. But probably bookmakers wanted to evaluate it like this because of its being the first game.

I will probably bet on Arsenal win @2.11. I can't wait to watch Gyökeres!  

After a long break, the main stage of the Premier League will start again on the 16th. Although the main stage of the Premier League will start on the 16th, Manchester United vs Arsenal will face each other for the first time in this Premier League season on the 17th. Manchester United is a team that has consistently performed better than Arsenal, so there is a good chance that Arsenal will win against Manchester United in the first match. Manchester United is my favorite team and I have been supporting Manchester United in the English Premier League for a long time, but when betting, I should not give priority to my favorite team, but I should give importance to the team that will win. In this match, I will bet some amount of money on Arsenal and I believe that if Arsenal can play their normal game, they will still ensure victory against Manchester United.

Arsenal vs Villarreal Today's friendly match, both teams are attacking well but Arsenal conceded a goal before halftime. Although Arsenal are currently in possession of the ball most of the time, they have not been able to respond to the goal they have conceded so far. However, I think Arsenal will definitely fight strongly to win this match against Villarreal. Since there is still full time left in the game, they will attack strongly and will win the match by responding to them.

Arsenal is a team that plays well and has played matches with good efforts last season and has been successful but they are losing the match against Villarreal. Arsenal players have scored only 1 goal and the opponent team has scored 2 goals and there are still a next half in the game in which Arsenal can change the course of the game. They still have to score 1 goal which will result in a draw or they can lose by 1 goal which will weaken their strength. They have less time but if they do not play quickly and quickly then their struggle will be of no use. If they do not score in the second half then they will lose the match in a very disappointing manner.

I'd love to see MU to beat Arsenal with their 200m forwards, but sounds impossible, right? I meant their forwards have no good chemistry at this moment. It's too good to be true to expect huge scores from their forward against Arsenal.

On other hand, seeing how small Arsenal odds is just a common sense. It's obvious they will win the game with huge scores. However, the last time i saw their odds was under 2.00, but it's now above 2.11. I agree with you if bookmakers still seem doubt to put their confidence at Arsenal.

Manchester united to beat Arsenal? Aha🤣. It is hilarious but we should not just take Manchester United for granted because it might be their come back to stage game. We will see the performance of the both teams first before judging from our end. But for the meantime we all bet on the Arsenal side of the game even though the odd is small and I think no bookmaker would like to the otherwise.

Arsenal odd wasn't supposed to be this high , how would they give lower odd to a club who barely made it to the seven or eight position last season and gave a bigger odd to a club who has constantly go very higher all the time of the premier League, was it because of the player Manchester United signed that has given them this confident on Manchester United, actually for seeing this odd i will take this challenge to stake on arsenal to win but if Manchester United win them I'm going to predict them fifty or seventh position on the premier League. they're both starting with big match. Meanwhile Arsenal is getting beating right now by Villarreal on there friendly.

Manchester United are really facing a serious problem and since the past seasons they were still not able to decode their problem even when they got rid of Erik ten hag and sign Amorim as their new coach thinking they have solve their problem but it was not so. When Erik ten hag was managing Manchester United many people thought he was the team’s  problem and when he was sacked the the completed last season at the fifteenth place which was very terrible for the team. The best thing they can do now is to dedicate their focus on the Premier league next season and make sure they are part of the top five.

 I think it not proper to say Manchester United is a failed team because they are trying to reform but they missed out on many people in the transfer window.

It is easy to cure when you find out the disease the same problem is with the team of Manchester United i personally think that from all the teams right now Manchester United is suffering the worst time. But we can't say about them that they are a failed team. They definitely failed if they were not in the way of recovery and betterment. When the Eric Ten Hag was their coach then almost all the fans and viewers think that due to him the team is not able to do well . But since they have the new coach there are no significant changes and performance has been seen. So, i think the problem is not about the coach at all . They are not finding out the reasons which push them far from success i think before the work on enhancing the team's performance they should work first on those points and reasons which cause them to fail when they got succes in over coming their short comings their success story will be start again.

Alot has changed since last season for both clubs, Manutd has added some new additions to their squad and are looking way better in preseason games, alot of positive improvements hence the even odds. Going to be tough but Arsenal at 2/1 looks like a bargain in this fixture.

Do you have any idea on bookmaker odds on Gyökeres to score a goal? Having this feelings that he would be on the score sheet.

Although considering the last season's performance, Arsenal should not be like this, but as you said earlier, maybe the bookmakers want it to be like this since it’s the first match, and maybe, as I’m saying, expecting Arsenal to be great in this match, I will also bet on Arsenal to win this match. They have new talented players in the squad, and I’m expecting positive results from Arsenal not only in this match but also in the entire season that will come. Arteta will be exactly what we want and expect from him all this past season.

Yeah, I'd bet on Arsenal tooand I feel the odds are just fine. Since it's still the beginning of the season, we don't know the form both teams are in, so I don't think it should be lowered or higher than that, but as the date for the game approaches, I believe the odds will begin to change, but it won't be much difference.

Arsenal odd wasn't supposed to be this high , how would they give lower odd to a club who barely made it to the seven or eight position last season and gave a bigger odd to a club who has constantly go very higher all the time of the premier League, was it because of the player Manchester United signed that has given them this confident on Manchester United,

Because this is a new season, and we don't know the full strength of the teams yet. You can write Manchester United off, especially when facing a big team in the first match of the season. They will be motivated to win as well. Arsenal is not that good a team to make them seem like United stand no chance against them.
As bad as Man United was last season, Arsenal only won them ones out of the three times they met. United drew one and knocked them out of the FA cup on penalties, so yeah, the odds are just fine.

Might want to hold off on that Gyökeres excitement for a bit. He played 62 minutes today against Villarreal — no goals, no assists, just 14 touches and one shot on target. Arsenal conceded three at home in a friendly, too. Of course, it’s just pre-season, but not exactly the kind of form that makes you rush to back them at 2.11.

Bookmakers doesn't care about last season when the match is on. The only thing they put into consideration is the previous matches and head to head between teams thats what they used to make odds for gamblers but that doesn't mean it will happen. Sometimes isn't what you expected that is going to happen because you don't know things that are beyond control is going to happen. Sometimes bookmaker just put what they want but begin to adjust when they see who is losing or winning.

As for Arsenal performance, I'm not feeling to well with some of their game. I don't know what Arsenal was think of Viktor Gyokores but he is mid. He played that game for 64 minutes and couldn't score any goals and he was just having it all because there was a chance to win but it's not like  that. A lot of if improvement is very necessary in Arsenal camp, the coach need to do better this time. If by this time next season and Arsenal doesn't secure any any trophy, Arteta is going to lose that job.

This was considered a bad start for Arsenal and Gyokeres. Fortunately, this was only a friendly match, but fans were undoubtedly very enthusiastic to see Gyokeres perform at his new club, and expectations were high. However, on the other hand, it's undeniable that no matter how good a player is, he will definitely need to adapt.

Let's try again later.

Indeed it was a bad start for Arsenal after loosing to Villarreal in Emirates Stadium. I was expecting Arsenal to defeat Villarreal with ease and with a large goals margins but it didn't happen as predicted. However it was a friendly match but it still says a lot about the current Arsenal form. Arsenal have Lost to Villarreal,Tottenham,Ac Milian while also struggled to defeat Newcastle United in the pre-season matches. With of this poor performance from Arsenal recently,it may happen that Arsenal may perform below average when the premier League season start. Gyokeres also failed to impress Arsenal fans in this game,i think Gyokeres should be given enough time to synergize with his new team mates.

Arsenal will face the athletic Bilbao in the Emirates Cup final. They didn't look very prepared in the Villarreal match, but I'm sure manager Arteta knows how to manage and where to intervene. He'll go into the match prepared and I'm sure he'll try many of his players in their original positions. The Spanish team is a tough and strong team, let's see how they play in the final. Arsenal is currently my favorite.

The results of last season are never going to be a factor in this season. Because Arsenal currently have a lot of good players and they are playing very well. If we consider the past, then maybe it would be completely wrong.

As we saw in the Club World Cup between PSG and Real Madrid. Real Madrid is a very strong team, no doubt about it. But they lost very badly to PSG. So you never know what will happen or not. Arsenal is in very good form at the moment. Arsenal will probably do very well in every match this season.

[bitgolden]

Garnacho's future remains uncertain at this time, after being dropped from the first team by Ruben Amorim and left out of Manchester United's pre-season tour, he has yet to find a new club. Linked with Chelsea but until nowadays both side not reach agreement deal and Chelsea announce for pushing transfer Xavi Ximos from RB Leipzig. It seems Garnacho doesn't fit into Ruben Amorim's scheme and currently Manchester United has few options in the winger position, making Garnacho lose his main position.

Yes, but it's been said that Chelsea wants both Garnacho and Xavi Simon, if possible. They're to fill the goalkeeper and attacking midfielder positions. Both Garnacho and Xavi Simons are aiming to join Chelsea.
So, it remains to be seen how negotiations progress and determine the outcome.

At least, the two signings are done before closing the transfer window.

Xavi Simmons and Garnacho will end up with a lot more help to Chelsea, but would increase the number of players Chelsea has a bit more. Chelsea seriously needs to end up selling some of the players, otherwise makes no sense for them to keep getting players. They have to realize they are spending a lot of issues with the current team with how many players they have.

There aren't really any buyers at the moment, so they need to lower the cost/price of the players and make sure that at least 5+ more are gone before they make this deal and get these two players. Or if they do end up getting before, then that would not be avoidable, they have to just get rid of them, it's very important for them to make this work somehow and lower the number of players.

Friendly games aren’t so important games at all, it’s mainly for building fitness and getting awareness of the next season, But honestly speaking I was expecting Arsenal to win the friendly game but the way Villarreal was running through the Arsenal defense was just some like Arsenal didn’t have a very strong defense, But I was paying more attention to the new signings most especially Victor Gyokores who was just brought in from Sporting to know how he has been able to adapt to his new team.

But I noticed something awful unless Arteta will have to do something about it immediately, The wingers aren’t really working for the striker, they are more interested in getting the ball and trying to drive and cut into the Eighteen yard box to shoot and score goals themselves instead of passing the ball to the striker, the striker which is Victor Gyokores was trying to get into the wings to get the ball and drive into the box to try and make attempts to score, if that is the plan for Arteta game this season I feel it might not work for him, and he urgently needs to sign a new left winger.

[Distraction]

I think the opening match will be a goal show by Liverpool.    Do you think the same? It's always not easy to predict first fixtures. But after the latest transfers I've much bigger expectations from Liverpool. Another PL domination...

This was considered a bad start for Arsenal and Gyokeres. Fortunately, this was only a friendly match, but fans were undoubtedly very enthusiastic to see Gyokeres perform at his new club, and expectations were high. However, on the other hand, it's undeniable that no matter how good a player is, he will definitely need to adapt.

Only 14 touches with the ball and 1 goal attempt... Indeed it's not the best start for Gyökeres.    But it's his first times at the team.

He'll need to improve his match condition first. After being given time we'd find out about his real performance.

[Volgastallion]

Gyokeres needs to adapt to the Arsenal way of working plus we dont know how much  phisycal work he was doing, maybe he was super tired by the travels or the train, plus the pre season games for me mean nothing, lot of teams try there gameplays they never are gonna use in the season.

I think the odd is very fair and like you said it's just the first match and the bookmakers are still trying to evaluate. The odds is in Arsenal's favor and we all expect them to win, but going on Arsenal last two pre season game, I think we have to be worried a little, because the team has not found a way to bring Viktor Gypkeres into the game and he is finding it hard to see much of the ball.
Although I will still bet on Arsenal, because I still believe that Arteta will find a solution before the season kicks off. They are playing good football, but are conceding sloppy goals and they have not been able to create much offensively.

[Salahmu]

Arsenal odd wasn't supposed to be this high , how would they give lower odd to a club who barely made it to the seven or eight position last season and gave a bigger odd to a club who has constantly go very higher all the time of the premier League, was it because of the player Manchester United signed that has given them this confident on Manchester United,

Even if this was a new season that performance hasn't been determined but still wouldn't have made Manchester United looks superior to arsenal, is not that I'm underrating Manchester United but over years disappointment has been there title so they shouldn't be hyped for now until there performance has now proving stabilized, however I'm surprised you are not seeing from my insight on them, if the starting was the reason I believe they could have done the same thing to every other teams since non of them has played yet , if you look at Liverpool odd you will no that it was supposed to be.
