⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Adiljutt156]

While Nottingham's chances are high which I think is not fair enough considering this is the semifinals, and as we know Nottingham is currently a team that should be watched out for, I think choosing the host in the betting slip also cannot be ignored.

Even though they managed to beat City in the EPL, I still favor City to win the match. In the previous match, Nottingham Forest managed to win 1-0 over City. But it was not a victory where Forest dominated the match. Yes, they have a solid defense but have a weak attack. That could be an opportunity for City to beat Forest. I think the odds in this match are quite fair. Even though this is a semifinal match, I think it is still difficult for me to favor Forest in this match. In addition, the FA Cup is now the only chance for City to get a trophy. I think that will be a motivation for them to win.

Manchester City football team will play next match against Nottm Forest football team and we are excited to watch the semi final match between these two teams. The recent performance of Manchester City football team is excellent because that team won 4 matches out of 5 matches and that team lost 1 match. The head to head record of Manchester City is dominant because that team won ,3 matches out of 5 matches which is big achievement and one match was draw between these two teams and one match lost by that team. Nottm Forest players should put  full effort because the team will win which will play well in this match.Manchester City football team is very confident to win this match and they will execute well in this match and we will see the result .

Today there are 2 games in the schedule:

- Bournemouth - Manchester United
- Liverpool - Tottenham

What do I expect? Bournemouth win @1.85 and Liverpool to cover -1.5 handicap @1.76. 

3.26 odds in total. I think it is quite tempting and a good bet to go for. I have 0 faith in Tottenham and Manchester United both today.

Manchester United gets draw against Bournemouth. You're just unlucky in this game as Bournemouth gets a setback when they went down with 10 men. Things may differ if they did not get a red card. They lead the game for almost a whole time, but a red card change the situation.

They lost their guts, and gave Hojlund space to scored equalized goal.

As for Liverpool, the match is still running and it's two - one. I believe they will win the game, but most probably having 2 goals+ gap to the Tottenham. I think your second bet is gonna be successful.

I also congratulate Liverpool for winning EPL this season.

[Woodie]

Liverpool making a statement against Tottenham and honestly...Spurs is doing nothing, am even surprised that they managed to score a goal 🥅 this afternoon!
You know what, playing from home and being declared winners from your home turf...this will be a blood bath for Tottenham just to give it's supporters something to remember as Champion's.

Inplay prediction Liverpool 5-1 Tottenham.

[Ale88]

Looks like the fight fo the 5th spot will be between Chelasea/Nott Forest and Man City.
Who will be out from the CL?

I guess it will be Chelsea.
What do you think?

I don't really know the next 2 games of these teams but the recent past years speak for themself.

My prediction is that we will see the same result as what table is showing now. I prefer to have Newcastle, City and Chelsea in UCL instead of Forest. I know you were not feeling satisfied enough with Chelsea's performance, then put them as underdog, but i think they will qualify.
Playing at Europa league is already good enough for Nottingham forest. As long as City can beat Forest, i think Newcastle and Chelsea's positions are fine. 

For the love of football I really hope Nottingham Forest can make it, it would be one of those nice storie that we see from time to time. Chelsea have been quite average this season, I understand they are going through a huge renovation but again, I prefer to see something different from time to time instead of having always the same teams winning and/or qualifying for the Champions League. But that's just me.

[Velvet78]

I think since Liverpool already won the League, there is nothing to play for again same as Tottenham. I think the game would be a boring watch as opposed to the 6;3 win by Liverpool in their first league meeting. Leaning towards a 1:0 Liverpool win.

You got wrong there. And it is a really big one.    Liverpool are leading the game by 5-1 and there are still minutes to be played. Tottenham are a disaster. I like the way Liverpool are playing hungrily. This is what I want to see from them.

Manchester United gets draw against Bournemouth. You're just unlucky in this game as Bournemouth gets a setback when they went down with 10 men. Things may differ if they did not get a red card. They lead the game for almost a whole time, but a red card change the situation.

Yeah man, it is unlucky for me... If only Bournemouth didn't get that red card... They wouldn't lose points there I think. But it was still a nice try for a good parlay though.

I'm going to continue to be on the side of Manchester United's opponents until the end of the season.

At the moment, the situation is like this, that's why we can't make our predictions because Liverpool is in the first place with its strength, and they seem to be successful. Their performance and position on the table are also not that good to give them priority, but if they improve, they can get the priority they deserve. Chelsea is also staying down due to some of their poor performance and defeats, and if it weren't for this, they could have gotten a pretty good position to win. It will definitely remain because Nottingham still has to win 2 of the 4 matches, which will improve their points and only then will they move up their position, but at that time Chelsea will improve their position even more, which will give them a lot of strength and improve their position.

The players and fans are still celebrating their 2024/2025 Premier League victory. I don’t understand how Trent Alexander Arnold can pass this up for Real Madrid that could not even win their domestic league title this season. I think most players are easily convinced to join Real Madrid because of their football heritage and the promise of winning Champions League, Liverpool can offer that to TAA if he is patient.

My gut's telling me that Manchester united would win the game but their position is something that's a little discouraging and the odds are also in favour of Bournemouth to win but as you know it's not always about the odds... Manchester united's performance this season is absolute garbage, they have been dealing with a lot of issues in the previous seasons but I think this one is the worst, can't believe that even Bournemouth is doing better than them..well, if I don't give them a straight win I wll just give them a handicap of one goal.. I'm not sure they will win but be expecting goals from united in this match

Actually, Manchester United performed quite well in the match, where in addition to being able to dominate the game, both in the first half and the second half, but in terms of attack they were also quite superior. Which at least in the match Manchester United had possession of the ball up to 60% more, and in attack they managed to launch 25 trial shots with 6 shots on target, but it is very unfortunate that the final finishing done by the Man United players was very bad, they missed many golden opportunities that should have been converted into a goal. and even when Bournemouth only played with 10 men, Man United still had enough difficulty in scoring a goal.

In that match, Manchester United almost lost to Bournemouth, because approaching the final minutes of the match, Man United was still one goal behind Bournemouth, but fortunately before the match really ended, right in the 90+6 minute, R. Holjund managed to break the deadlock and score a goal that made the match end with a draw of 1-1.

Tottenham have lost 3 games in a row and that's a huge loss for a team in a premier league...  I knew they didn't have any chance even for a draw against Liverpool, how much more for a win.
The experience have been so rough with them and they seem quite unborthered on the 16th position.

Liverpool on their own ends are doing very great this season and there's no backing down yet for them. Goals were flying in and the game looks more like an easy win for them. A rightly deserved 3 points for Liverpool!

It's pretty clear that at this point both Manchester United and Tottenham can't do anything in the Premier League so I guess that mentally they are already focused on the Europa League semifinals, that is the only way to save the season. The problem is that there is only one winner so for someone this season will be one the worst ever.

It's official. After destroying Tottenham 5-1, Liverpool hav won the league. They only needed one point but didn't waste the opportunity to get it done in style.
This is their 20th championship, meaning they now share the number 1 place in the top titles wonwith Manchester United.

We still have one outstanding match of the matchday 34. The match between Nottm Forest and Brentford is scheduled on Thu evening. Forest are now placed 6th, but a win would put them back in the 3rd place.

[MK-74]

And now Liverpool are officially champions.
Liverpool beat Tottenham 5-1 at home today, I think it was a very easy match for them.
They were last champions in 2020, I think this championship was good for the EPL.

Bournemouth and Manchester United drew 1-1. I think it's a normal result because neither team has any purpose in the league.

[condoras]

Big congrats to Liverpool, they deserve to be 1st this year.

Bournemouth and Manchester United drew 1-1. I think it's a normal result because neither team has any purpose in the league.

Maybe Bournemouth doesn't but Man Utd have as always. Those performances build character and mentality, plus Man Utd is a big name and not some medium-range team. If they fight for a draw with Bournemouth, things for them are not good at all.

[coinlocket$]

So finally Liverpool is back again in the top.
What a superb year after the farewell of Kloop.

This year it has been easier for them after the terrible start of Manchester City.
Arsenal and Newcaslte proven that they are not there yet, Liverpool is in another category.

My hope is for Nottm Forest, for the underdog in CL!

A super season for Liverpool this season and congratulations to the reds as they never worked alone this season a staggering 5:1 results at home against Tottenham is a big statement this season Liverpool has just been exceptional because they where the most consistent team in this  season campaign so far

[Ndabagi01]

It looks like they did fight for a draw in this match and not much focused on winning anything because they already gave up on that. Manchester United looks very more observant in the Europa League because that’s where their only hope lies to win a trophy this season and they’re most likely going to fight for it till the end. This season is already a poor one for them, so I’m not surprised of the results they’re showing now.

And now Liverpool are officially champions.

Liverpool became the champions not by luck but by their hard work. They made sure all the opportunities they had was well used to make them finish well now. I commend their effort on this and also their new coach for making this a success in his first year in the club. It was a good performance and a well superb victory today.

Yeah, right? Probably most of us (including me) doubted Arne Slot in his first year after all these great years with Klopp. But here we are... 

He is already celebrating his first trophy with Liverpool. It could have even been more than this if they didn't fail early in other tournaments. But no problem. Their turn will come in the future as well. Arne Slot football has made me believe in it. He knows what he is doing. He even did this without changing the squad. This summer who knows how big budget he will get for transfers. As long as he makes the right signings I don't see any reason for not to go for many more titles.

Arne Slot's high market value as a football player is 1 million euros according to transfermarkt. He made Liverpool the Premier League champion in his first year at the helm. That's why being a manager is not like being a football player. You can be a good football player but not a good manager. Arne Slot's analysis is amazing and he sees his opponents very well. He intervenes in the game well and that's what made Liverpool the champion this year. I'm sure they will get to a better level with good transfers next year. Congratulations Liverpool, congratulations Premier League champion.

This is probably the worst Manchester united team performance in recent years. It is pathetic they can't even take advantage even when they have more players on the field against Bournemouth. There is no iota of passion and intensity any more in this team and I think with this mentality, even if they should be relegated to championship, they will struggle to win matches against those teams we refer to as small teams in the championship.

The blame shouldn't be shifted to the manager alone but he should take the major blame because he chooses the playing team and also oversees their training. He should be able to tell who and who suppose to be in the pitch and where they fit in perfectly from their training but it's obvious he's failed in that aspect. This is his first season but Amorin is showing more signs of failing than succeeding. 

[Paashaas]

They trashed Slot when appointed.
