⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Wildwest]

There are even more intriguing games at this weekend in my opinion. Let's have a look at them:

Tottenham - Manchester United
Manchester City - Liverpool
Sunderland - Arsenal (If Sunderland beat Everton today  )

Manchester United didn't have the chance to beat Tottenham during the Europa league finals last year. Thus is definitely a payback time for them. Ruben Amorim still demands players during the January transfer window to repair his midfield.
Liverpool are not really what they use to be, this is either the time to crush them completely or see them thrive again. Manchester City will make sure that they do a proper damange on Liverpool.  Arsenal's chance of extending the lead further. Mikel Arteta will want that.

Manchester United will strive to repeat their failed victory in last year's Europa League. Manchester United has a strong desire to win and get all three points. Liverpool are currently in a slump, and whoever they face means they don't see the opportunity to score as many goals as they could.
Manchester United needs funds for new signing Ruben Amorim. Think about that first. Let's watch the match between the big teams to see who is superior among them.

It actually doesn't matter for Semenyo whether he plays a big game or not. He is able to score in any kind of game. However he couldn't do so against Manchester City. But this still doesn't change the fact he is having a superb season...

What do you say about today's game? Do you expect Sunderland to beat Everton? And even a clean sheet maybe? I see the first one possible but I'm not sure about the latter. Everton couldn't score in their last 2 games in the league by the way.

Sunderland's performance is good again, even when playing away at Chelsea's home ground, Stamford Bridge. Sunderland managed to beat Chelsea 2-1. And this time, Sunderland is playing at their home ground, the Stadium of Light, against the weak bottom-table team Everton, so they are predicted to win the match. Although Sunderland's performance at the beginning of this season was also surprising, as the promoted team managed to shoot up to the top.

Sunderland sharing the same point with Liverpool on the table is really surprising. This club is ready to compete this season. They won against Chelsea at Chelsea's home, which was a big surprise to me because even though Chelsea is not in their best form, they should be able to beat Sunderland in their home, but they didn’t.

However Everton managed to draw the game against Sunderland, although they were the ones that scored first in that match in the 15th minute of the match. With the way things are going right now, Sunderland will be competitive this season.

I don't think they will be able to maintain that consistency. Once we get to the half of the season, the league would reset to it's normal self.

Although Sunderland's performance at the beginning of this season was also surprising, as the promoted team managed to shoot up to the top.

Everton being at the weak buttom of the table and Sunderland in the top four, then also playing the match from the home of Sunderland, this is a big show of sign that Sunderland are in a better position for the victory in this match. Sunderland have been playing quite a good game since they returned from relegation and their position on the table truly shows how good their performance is this season and what they’ve been able to achieve with it. If this match was with another top teams, I would have doubted Sunderland’s ability to win this match but since it’s Everton whose form hasn’t been that great, Sunderland has a better chance of victory in this match.

When some things happen in football it will amaze you to the extent you start wondering what is going on exactly because Everton had all the privileges to have been able to win Sunderland but they ended up playing draw this shows that Everton had no escape route to have been able to defeat Sunderland and Everton was the one that scored first. Infact the first half Everton showed capacity to have suppressed Sunderland even there first goal was a a super goal. And they were missing so much opportunities to have added another goal.  The moment Sunderland scored they could not see another chance to add another goal. Sunderland played a smart move there against Everton and am sure they would have learnt from that because the way does guys have been maintaining the top four positions is just something everyone is curious about. They had a better chance but the game still ended draw.

I'm still seeing Manchester United to climb back to the top because I'm certain they will beat Tottenham Hotspurs no cap, they could have won their previous game against Nottingham Forest but the fact is Nottingham Forest are too hungry for points and again they have a new coach which will likely don't want to lose games carelessly so getting a draw in that game was a big shot for them, but in this game between Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United I'm very much sure Manchester United will win the game and it might get them back to the top four for good this time.

Although Sunderland's performance at the beginning of this season was also surprising, as the promoted team managed to shoot up to the top.

This should be a win for Sunderland, given Everton's recent poor form, particularly their weak defense. With high spirits and home advantage, I believe Sunderland can exploit Everton's defensive weaknesses and secure a win, perhaps by a narrow margin. Given their dangerous attack, which will trouble the Everton defense, the home team will likely dominate proceedings.

That's how it should have been, but Sunderland were simply robbed, with several penalties not being awarded against Everton. Sunderland outplayed Everton and had 60% possession, compared to 40% for Everton, and Regis Le Bre's team had 17 shots on goal, while Everton had only 8, but unfortunately, it seems that not everyone wants to see Sunderland at the top of the EPL table. 
The most interesting thing is that the last time Sunderland played in the EPL, they managed to score 24 points for the entire championship, and now they have 18 points after 10 games.

[mvdheuvel1983]

I hope the host wins and shifts Manchester City's position, but Everton put up a pretty tough, and give us a surprise to scoring early. So far, their styling is still good even as a promotion club, Sunderland provides plenty of space for players to improve their position, that scheme makes a club that has long been struggling in Premier League didn't expect they to implement an unconventional strategy. But usually, it won't be long, their position could be immediately shifted by the big club who have experience on top standing. This situation always happen on the end of session. let's just wait and see.

Everton stood up and didn't let Sunderland take them down, they scored first but couldn't hold on to the early goal at they themselves conceded one just almost immediately after the restart. A win for Sunderland would have catapulted them back to second position ahead of Manchester City who went second after winning their game on Sunday against Bournemouth. Manchester City wil be like, Everton thanks to you.

The result of the game was unexpected, Sunderland was supposed to win they played at home they also had the better performance this season the advantage they had and the position they would have occupied in the league was one thing they should have considered before playing the game their motivation would have increased but they decided to let the opportunity slip out by conceding very early into the game, they managed to come back but that doesn't help them to get ahead of Manchester City who should have dropped to 3rd place and Sunderland moved to 2nd place, Everton was powerful they never allowed Sunderland to run them over they must have watched their performance so well before the game to know their tactics.

Maybe they got carried away with the little success they've had so far and considered Everton as a team they could easily beat since the had the home advantage, but they've got suprised and would learn from their encounter with Everton, the Premier league is a place where no team should be underrated else you'll get a big shock.

 Well, I'm very impressed with how successful Sunderland has been this season, I didn't expect them to be this tough and competitive, I didn't even believe that they'll comeback against Everton, the second place would've been sure if they had managed to add another goal but they managed to achieve a point which is still very okay.

I get that believe too that Manchester United can get to the top because they have improved more then last season and with how they play there four matches in the league competition they have been in good form and if they can continue doing well they can get the chances to finish in top 4th and get the chance to qualify for the Champions League next season. Nottingham Forest as not that he big form but they have do all there best to secure there home and get the chance to draw the game, Amorim as be very good currently and many fans as started to think Amorim can't make Manchester United this season almost thinking they should sack him and get new coach but currently he as pick form and doing well for the club.

[DiMarxist]

Amorim as be very good currently and many fans as started to think Amorim can't make Manchester United this season almost thinking they should sack him and get new coach but currently he as pick form and doing well for the club.

That is true, many fans were quick to judge Amorim earlier on, but it is good to see he is proving himself now. Every new coach needs time to adapt and build the right chemistry with the players. His recent improvement shows that the team is responding to his tactics, and with consistency, he could actually turn things around completely for Man U.

Amorim did underperform last season and the beginning of this season so it is very natural that many fans condemned him and asked for him to be fired because he did not make any changes to Manchester United's victory, it was the social impact of his incompetence, but in the end Amorim did make changes and got some matches won this season, they got five full wins from 10 matches that have been passed in the English premier league, and yes now it is slowly getting support back to stay.

There are even more intriguing games at this weekend in my opinion. Let's have a look at them:

Tottenham - Manchester United
Manchester City - Liverpool
Sunderland - Arsenal (If Sunderland beat Everton today  )

Man the first two are really great though. Interesting thing is that Manchester United couldn't beat Tottenham in the league for 3 years. And it is 4 years when it comes to away games.

Manchester City also couldn't win against Liverpool for 2 years. Predicting the outcome is really difficult for both games now. I will wait until the European games finish during the week.

Although Sunderland couldn't beat Everton, the match against Arsenal was still interesting and could be considered a big match because Sunderland's position in the provisional standings remained in the top 4. Specifically, they were in 4th place with a total of 18 points. Despite Sunderland's squad not being very good and them not being a big team.

[Mate2237]

Manchester City vs Liverpool this weekend will be a cracker because both teams are title contender and again they have not been in the best of forms. So meeting in the league once again will bring back memories and this fixture will present these teams with the opportunity of of building on the momentum that each of them are trying to build lately. Manchester City has not been in the best of forms these thing with Liverpool so a win for anyone of them will be a step towards getting back to the top of the table.


This game is a open game because, I don't see home advantage in this game any team can  win between these teams, but i will like Liverpool and build their confidence level because they have lost some very important point this season.

[Nightwatchmare]

Leeds United and Wolves are two clubs that will not escape relegation no matter what they do to evade it. They are one of the worse sides currently and have lost almost all the games they have played. A bit of hope for Burnley and Sunderland who are working hard. Brighton won fine after they looked like one to lose. West Ham United fans are not happy after getting their first ever win in a very long time. Arsenal should not just dominate but make plans to win the league. They have toiled hard for it.

Leeds United get better position standings than Wolves and not believing how come still not winning one single match yet after playing 10 matches, collected two points after playing 2 draw and Wolves likely most favorite team will relegate for next season in premier league. Good week for West Ham United fans after their team poorly performance in this week get victory against Newcastle United, is second winning match for West Ham United although can out from relegation zone with 7 points.

All top teams this week get three points except Manchester United holding draw by Nottm Forest, will next week all the relegation standing teams get three points or still can't moving from bottom position.

Hmm wolves relegating is very complicating like for the first time in a long time, so what could really be the problem should we say it's because of the play Manchester United bought from them? I'm quite amazed by Sunderland's performance like they're really playing out of the expectation of Manny, and for Arsenal hmm it's quite complicated too I can only believe Arsenal won the league right after the final match of the season else I still don't believe they can win this league, because this is not the first time they're being this serious on the league, tho there are not much pressure on them as they are in the best of their form.

Wolves did not even perform that good in the premier league last season, so it is not the player Manchester United bought from Wolves that is making them struggle this season. It seems Wolves didn't strengthen their team before this season started, and it could be what is causing them to struggle this season. You are not the only one that is amazed by Sunderland's performance in the premier league; i am also amazed by Sunderland's performance as well because i knew how Sunderland struggled in the lower division of English football, and i was thinking they would do the same in the premier league after they managed to gain promotion to the premier league.

[FiliOrangGila]

Amorim as be very good currently and many fans as started to think Amorim can't make Manchester United this season almost thinking they should sack him and get new coach but currently he as pick form and doing well for the club.

In the last 4 matches, Manchester United's performance has been good. They have managed to collect 10 points and win 3 consecutive matches, which has brought Manchester United into the top 4. However, in the last match last weekend, Manchester United was held by a weak team that is in the relegation zone this season, Nottingham Forest, which caused Manchester United to drop back to 8th place in the provisional standings.

[Lida93]

Manchester United will strive to repeat their failed victory in last year's Europa League. Manchester United has a strong desire to win and get all three points. Liverpool are currently in a slump, and whoever they face means they don't see the opportunity to score as many goals as they could.
Manchester United needs funds for new signing Ruben Amorim. Think about that first. Let's watch the match between the big teams to see who is superior among them.

Apparently Manchester United wasn't in a good condition to be able to defeat Tottenham in that finals of the Europa League, perhaps the kind of player that they had weren't good enough to make the difference and that was why Reuben Amorim had to make his preparations earlier in the transfer window to bring in the likes of Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, perhaps if this trio were in Manchester then the club wouldn't have suffered such a tragic loss against Tottenham in that finals.

[adultcrypto]

Amorim as be very good currently and many fans as started to think Amorim can't make Manchester United this season almost thinking they should sack him and get new coach but currently he as pick form and doing well for the club.

That is true, many fans were quick to judge Amorim earlier on, but it is good to see he is proving himself now. Every new coach needs time to adapt and build the right chemistry with the players. His recent improvement shows that the team is responding to his tactics, and with consistency, he could actually turn things around completely for Man U.

That draw with Nottingham Forest set them back because it happened just when people were beginning to have some hope in Manchester United. Assuming the draw was against a strong team, then it would have made sense but it was against Nottingham Forest that was not doing so well, a team Chelsea beat three goals to nil, that was a very bad one by United. They have to do better if they want to earn the confidence of their supporters.

[el kaka22]

City versus Liverpool will be a great game, we are going to see two of the big teams that are not doing that great end up playing against each other, that should be a big game without a doubt. I think it's clear that we are going to see them do a lot better in the future, will recover, but for now they are not great.

Let's see how this goes and I am sure that we are going to see these teams do a lot better as long as they leave it on the floor. City has a lot higher chance in my view, because Liverpool has done terrible so far and I think that should matter a lot more, we are going to see them do a lot better and for that reason I have a feeling that we can actually see them win this game over Liverpool easily.

This game is a open game because, I don't see home advantage in this game any team can  win between these teams, but i will like Liverpool and build their confidence level because they have lost some very important point this season.

Manchester City vs. Liverpool is a super big match. Both teams need full points, meaning a win, to stay ahead and keep their hopes of competing with Arsenal alive. Both Liverpool and Manchester City are starting to climb after experiencing various poor results. Liverpool defeated Aston Villa last weekend, and tonight in the Champions League, they managed to beat a strong team that is on the rise after defeating Barcelona, namely the strong Real Madrid team, although they only won narrowly 1-0. This will boost their confidence when facing Manchester City.

[slapper]

Sunderland's performance is good again, even when playing away at Chelsea's home ground, Stamford Bridge. Sunderland managed to beat Chelsea 2-1. And this time, Sunderland is playing at their home ground, the Stadium of Light, against the weak bottom-table team Everton, so they are predicted to win the match. Although Sunderland's performance at the beginning of this season was also surprising, as the promoted team managed to shoot up to the top.

Sunderland played a smart move there against Everton and am sure they would have learnt from that because the way does guys have been maintaining the top four positions is just something everyone is curious about. They had a better chance but the game still ended draw.

At this stage I am more surprised by Sunderland than I am by Everton. Sunderland should not be fourth. They are a new side of promotion, who are punching far above their weight, and when you take a closer look at them, it is smoke and mirrors. That sixty one percent hold against Everton? Meaningless. They were simply passing it without any serious danger. Despite lower possession of the ball, Everton was at a much greater risk

Nevertheless, the Sunderland defense is solid. Only 8 goals conceded in 10 games. They absorb pressure, they fit in the palm, and then slam into the counter. Le Bris is perfecting them

The problem? You cannot afford fourth place when you are generating fewer opportunities than mid-table teams. The cracks will be visible eventually. I will bet money that by the end of the season they will drop to 8 th -10 th

Everton, though? A decent striker in January and they will climb quick. The chances are there. All they require is a person who can finish them
