⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Gabriel Jesus has 3 goals so far, Gyokeres has 9 goals so far. Gyokeres scores roughly once every two games so far in the season and that doesn't look like a bad deal to me. Not saying Jesus is worse, of course Jesus is a great player but people are making out to be like Gabriel Jesus is this amazing striker and Gyokeres sucks so bad.

The gap between them is not that much and I honestly believe that we are seeing something quite similar in both of them. If I was the manager it would be a tough decision no matter who I ended up picking. Doesn't mean that I would prefer Gyokeres, maybe I would, or maybe I would pick Jesus, but I would see them both quite the same level. Not like people here who think Gyokeres is worse.

Signing Gyokeres can not help Arsenal to win the league, i have said it from the beginning that striker is not the problem of Arsenal, how many goals any Arsenal attackers have scored this season, many of the attackers have not scored for the past 13 games, Gyokeres has not score 10 goals for the club and when he is in sporting he is scoring goals like machine and make many top club wants to sign him, he even ignored some clubs and chose Arsenal over them.

I disagree: Arsenal have been having a striker problem for years at this point. If they had somebody like Haaland probably they would have won a couple of Premier Leagues during the last years.

Gabriel Jesus and Havertz are better than him because they are legends when it comes to scoring goals, they know how to score when it matters most

I don't understand whether you're serious or not. Both were very promising at the beginning of their carriers but they never lived up to the expectations. And they get injured very often. I don't really see all this difference with Gyokeres, at the end they all score way less than they are supposed to.

Yes, Arsenal need to get back on track quickly and play as well as they used to under Arteta. They're putting on some great performances in the Premier League this year, and I'd say this is their most deserving year for the title. I really want them to achieve it this year. But of course, they shouldn't fall behind in the fight. They need to be prepared for the difficulty of the Premier League and approach every match like a final. Perhaps this year Arteta will finally get the championship title.

Arsenal is not doing badly if you make comparison with other teams in the same league, no single one of them is consistently winning their matches. That simply means that the league just got tougher than usual and seeing Arsenal still at the top of the table beyond January is positive sign towards their winning of the title this season. They have the team and all that is needed to win the title, so I'm still confident they will remain focused till the end of the season. My only worry is if they can avoid injuries which can easily set any team backward.

Arsenal are still at the bottom of the table and are four points ahead of Manchester City, so they have certainly been holding their own in terms of their performance at home. If they can manage to do so, it is a clear indication that they are still going strong this season. If Arsenal can play with confidence and focus hard and collect their full points in every match, they will definitely win the title. And if they lose a few matches, then Manchester City or Aston Villa will definitely take advantage of that opportunity and move forward in the title race.

Liverpool got a really huge win over Qarabag in the Champions League. After all those point losses in the Premier League they needed a solid win like that honestly. 

But it is always going like this for them. Good results in there but the opposite when it comes to their local league... It is a 5-game streak that they can't get a win here.

Up next they are hosting Newcastle. Normally they are beating them home like nearly all the time. But will this happen again tomorrow night though?

The last time Liverpool played against Newcastle, the result was:

Liverpool 1 - 2 Newcastle

It was a defeat. Fortunately, in the following game against Newcastle, this time away from home, Liverpool won, but conceded 2 goals. Luckily, Liverpool scored 3 goals. So, in my opinion, Liverpool has had a lot of difficulty beating Newcastle, and in the current situation where Liverpool hasn't won in 5 consecutive games against Newcastle, and in those last 5 games they only suffered one defeat, I see Newcastle achieving a victory or a draw. Liverpool will hardly be able to beat Newcastle. I believe the manager hasn't been fired yet because he's doing very well in the Champions League.

This is a beautiful fixture to watch.
I want to watch the Hero of Newcastle who turns flop and injury prone in Liverpool. I wish he will be fit to play and I will see how the emotions will play out on Saturday. However, Newcastle will not be that easy for Liverpool to beat, because those guys have recently found themselves and cannot be easily beaten.

But in the other hand, Liverpool cannot afford to continue their winless streak, so no matter what happens, they will like to end the losing streak. So we are likely going to see a war play out unless Slot no longer values his job.

Actually the upcoming match would be an intresting match to watch, since the formal Newcastle key star has returned and starting against Liverpool, but it's not easy for some key players to gain thier strength after a weakness of injuries, well the Liverpool will also not hesitate to accept any defeat from Newcastle which I know they must have prepared as well.

My hope now in today's matches should be on Chelsea against west Ham,despite the west Ham is below the table and having a lesser points at the table presently, but that doesn't give Chelsea a hope, because even if they aren't in thier best form right now, I believe west Ham will still try thier best to also defeat Chelsea. Well am very curious on how the Chelsea’s performances maybe.

Even if Liverpool is struggling in the premier league, they managed to remain perfect in the champions league and beat big teams. it is normal for Liverpool to score 6 goals against Qarabag because Qarabag cannot match Liverpool. Liverpool is supposed to win Newcastle United since they are playing at home but Liverpool has failed to win teams small teams at Anfield this season in the premier league, so i do not think Liverpool can beat Newcastle United. Newcastle United at the moment is not in the best form. I think Liverpool vs Newcastle United game has a high chance of ending in a draw.

I think a big win in the Champions League match could serve as a great motivation for Liverpool players to improve their very poor performance in the Premier League, especially since Liverpool has not been able to win in their last 5 Premier League matches, which has now dropped them to 6th place in the standings.

For this weekend's match against Newcastle, it certainly won't be easy for Liverpool because Newcastle has good strength, but I think there is still a chance for Liverpool to win, especially since this is a match between two big teams, which will make the tension different. Playing at their home ground will also be a particular advantage, so I am still optimistic that Liverpool can win the match later.

The gap is only four points which scares Arsenal fans, and I can see why, they are going to play against City as well, which means if they lose, that's only one point gap and of course that is scary for them. Considering they have seen their team be second place for three years in a row, something quite uncommon, they are used to getting disappointed and they fear that the same thing can happen here.

But look on the bright side, if you do win that game, the ga is actually seven points, and that is why they are doing fine right now. One game and many things change, and Arsenal looks like the better team right now, when they are on the field they look like a great team, United game was a fluke and normally they are better.

It's normal to be worried about your team, but I don't think Arsenal fans should be worried at the moment. I believe they are still the best team in the league and they are capable of going on a long winning stretch to help their position. Manchester City is not at their best like we use to know, so it's still very possible they will still drop more point and Arsenal can capitalize on it. The match against the both teams can go either ways, but Arsenal has shown that they are capable of beating Manchester City, so I think Arsenal is still in a good position and the fans don't need fear.

[AprilioMP]

Arsenal are still at the bottom of the table and are four points ahead of Manchester City, so they have certainly been holding their own in terms of their performance at home. If they can manage to do so, it is a clear indication that they are still going strong this season. If Arsenal can play with confidence and focus hard and collect their full points in every match, they will definitely win the title. And if they lose a few matches, then Manchester City or Aston Villa will definitely take advantage of that opportunity and move forward in the title race.

You mean Arsenal is still at the top of the table with a 4-point lead over Manchester City. That's right.
Leeds United is a strong team that will face Arsenal later. For Leeds, a win over Arsenal would be a valuable victory to keep their hopes alive of staying in the Premier League, as Leeds' 26 points still leave them vulnerable to being caught by Nottingham Forest and West Ham United, with Leeds in 16th place, Nottingham Forest in 17th, and West Ham in 18th.

For Arsenal, the match against Leeds will be treated as a final in a tournament. This is to keep their hopes alive of lifting the trophy that is already within reach, ensuring it is not taken by the teams below them. It's not just Manchester City; Aston Villa is also still a possibility.

That win was expected and with the recent away difficulties of Qarabag, the lose was expected but not with this margin

Liverpool are always top in the Champions League but opposite in the Premier League. It is almost the same when they succeeded with beating Real Madrid after multiple loses in the league competition.

Newcastle United are not the best side to rely on when travelling on the road. It should be a Liverpool double chance.

The gap of 4 points is not small. It is also not a big gap. If arsenal can play  well in the next matches, they will not face any  problem. But if their performance is irregular , their point gap with manchester city will decrease.

There is no chance to think that city is in a very good position. They won against Wolves after  a long time. But their performance in this match was also very boring. Wolves were not an  experienced team and city was lucky so they were able to secure a 2-0  win. In this way, city's performance is still unstable.

Arsenal has the highest chance of winning the title. But they will have to perform carefully in each of the next matches. Every team in the premier league is strong. There is no chance to underestimate any team.

You are the one seeing it this way because you are not an arsenal fan, almost all the arsenal fan have realized a continuous pattern or trend that their team always exhibit at the defining moment of the season like now, and that continuous trend am talking of is higher level of inconsistency during this period. That was why they have lost almost all their opportunities from 2021 till date, so as arsenal have started relinquishing their position at the top and the point has started reducing, they have every right to be worried.

The only reason they are still leading the chart right now is because of how bad Manchester City have been, and if they continue like this, they might even give their four points lead away, so arsenal faithful have every reason to be concerned.

[X-ray]

According to Opta, Liverpool has greater chance to win at home against Newcastle and i agree with it. I fully aware how Liverpool's performance has been up and down, but i’m going to hope they show decent performance in this game. Their massive won in UCL should boldening their mentality.

So my prediction is that they're going to play well against Newcastle, hold majority of possession, Salah will score, Ekitikite will score too, and win the game. It will also mark them in the upturn of their performance.

They will smash Newcastle handily and move up. Three points will be on their hand, and i think they can lived up my expectation to win with 2 - 3 goals. So a direct bet Liverpool is obviously worthy choice.

[Wakate]

We all know how good Arsenal's players are, and how far they have come to win the trophy this season. This is what i fear, that suddenly their performance will decline, their game plan will start to look shaky, and their dominance will be broken by deadly counterattacks that result in goals, leaving them overwhelmed. The result of the last match against Manchester United was unexpected a very painful defeat, as they were the favorites in this game.

Arsenal has been the center of attraction for this years premier league tournament and we can see the way people have been taking about them having high tendencies of winning the league but from what we have been seeing and how Arsenal had lost few of their matches, it is not going to be easy for Arsenal especially now that Manchester United is fully in good formation.

Liverpool's performance in the champions league has surprised everyone. Liverpool has not been able to win a premier league match for a long time. They lost against bournemouth in the last match too. But they performed exceptionally  well against Qarabag. Liverpool won by a huge margin of 6 -0 . It is true that qarabag was a weak opponent. Even then, winning by a margin of 6-0 was not an easy task.

Liverpool will play against newcastle at home today. Although they can easily win against qarabag, it is very  difficult to win against newcastle. Newcastle is a strong team and they are often able to perform  well against big teams.

It been a good season for the gunners, well it would be a very good season for them if they can take it to the finish line this season. Their performance in recent weeks have declined especially in the league and that is because the way they are going about it is not the best way. We have all seen the stats that Arsenal attackers have not been mostly involved in their goals and that is a very bad thing especially when you are going to win the league. This is to say their goals have been mostly coming from the defensive side of the team, which is because they mostly score from set pieces.

It another big test for them today, they would be playing away from home to a side which is very much in foam especially against the big side in the league. Well for me I expect them to win today but for sure it going to be a very difficult game for them.

I'm not sure if Liverpool will win  against Newcastle, even though they will be playing at home this time. Liverpool may  have just secured a big win in the Champions League, but their opponents were only Qarabaq , and when playing in the Premier League, Liverpool has been inconsistent (Liverpool have not won a single game in their last five Premier League matches and even lost to  Bournemouth). Newcastle is actually no better than Liverpool, but for some reason I feel that they will give Liverpool a hard time. One interesting thing is that if Newcastle  wins, they will overtake Liverpool in the standings.

I saw how it is on Newcastle United before but what I see to have changed is the strength before and the weak now on Liverpool because on the time Liverpool win them there is no club they don't take victory on even on that period Arsenal was there looser and so many other clubs they won but now they cannot win Arsenal or even some they win that time so actually this is why the game we watch before might not going to be seen again this match because Newcastle United has gotten strong even if we are seeing difference in there positions but it can only be the Liverpool victory if they went back to see how it was between them and Newcastle United they would no what to do.

Arsenal isn't at the bottom, however, one more loss and the team would be in a much serious tension. They need to win their game with Leeds today, which is quite a certainty for the Arteta boys who have given Leeds six straight wins in a row, holding on to a 3 point lead would help increase Arsenal's chances of staying ahead of the table.

[Wakate]

This is a good season and it is not yet a good season for Arsenal because their fate can not be determined at this stage if they are going to win the premier league or not. There are other teams that are struggling to over take Arsenal and take their position if they are not ready to keep up with the lead for the top.
It has been a long time Arsenal won the Premier League title and this is not a time to assume that they are going to win this year tournament.

I am 100% surely Liverpool will defeat Newcastle United after having confidence performance big winning score in Champion League to defeat Qarabag 6-0. Liverpool confidence performance right now have back after impressive winning in Champion League and qualifying to next round now will focus how to improve current position in Premier League.
I know many fans doubt with Liverpool performance in premier league because winning one match of last 5 matches but victory in champion league make Liverpool more confidence for getting three points against Newcastle United, Liverpool want to return back at top fourth position after dropping by Manchester United and Chelsea.

I personally believe too that Liverpool will be able to dominate or even win tonight's match against Newcastle United. But I don't have complete confidence in that. Newcastle is a tough opponent for Liverpool, where their two head-to-head meetings proving that Newcastle cannot be taken lightly by Liverpool. In their last Premier League meeting Liverpool managed to win but only by a narrow 2-3 margin when they were at Newcastle's home ground. And in their previous meeting Liverpool was defeated by Newcastle in the EFL Cup. So I personally predict that there is still a possibility of a draw in this upcoming match. But I believe that Liverpool's position as the home team will be slightly advantageous for them as it could put pressure on the opposing team.
