⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

The most difficult thing for any team at the top of the table is to have Guardiola's Manchester City to be behind you. Guardiola will pursue you as if you are a thief. Now Arsenal is in trouble because Manchester city is behind them and the competition is severe now.

Right now pressure will be on Arteta because we all know how dangerous Guardiola is, and right now Manchester city is in form, and Guardiola will do everything possible to win the premier league title this season. Arteta will be frustrated right now, because he is just ahead of Guardiola with just 2 points, thats really close so Arteta shouldn’t even make any mistake right now, because if he can mess up, then he will be dropped on the table.

If Arteta can’t win the premier league title this season, then most Arsenal fans will request for his sack, what Arsenal fans are after now is for him to win the premier league title, he has been in Arsenal for years, and he hasn’t been able to win any major trophy for Arsenal.

I still can't believe that Tottenham couldn't win the game, they are one of the teams that made.me lose my bet today.  for Nottingham Forest to win so easily. means they sre now in form than Tottenham, that's unbelievable. lots of people also expected Tottenham to be able to score multiple goals or even win the game, this is why no one can predict football accurately in any form ot betting

I don't want to discuss about this game because it was shocking to me that Tottenham was not able to score in the match.
AI predicted Tottenham to win this match which was what many people had staked but it was so shocking to see them being defeated by Notingham Forest. This is why we need to gamble responsible and taking risks we can afford to lose.

Ekitike was a joy to watch yesterday. I don’t know why Arteta didn’t sign him last season. I have said a lot of times that Viktor Gyökeres was Arteta’s missing piece but that was before I saw Ekitike’s magic. Arsenal really missed out on that one.

Ekitike is the joy for Liverpool as it is.

Without him on the pitch, the team suffers greatly, it’s as though no other player on the pitch knows how to score anymore. He not only plays but knows how to find the back of the net, man scores goals for scoring sake and we didn’t expect much of him really, he really is giving more than we hoped and was surely a good addition to this Liverpool squad.

I was expecting Tottenham to at least score a goal in that match but everything turned out to be unexpected victory for Nottingham Forest. That match was a big defeat without even conceding a goal. There are some matches that do remind us that no matter how good you are at predicting sport bets, you will always get it wrong. Also Manchester City perform extraordinary well beating Crystal Palace.

The Spurs have bad passing, and the worst individual skill when the player gets the ball. Not only that, a goalkeeper repeats his mistake like they lose versus Fulham a week ago, he made a blunder and look foolish. Frank have a headache when he look how bad the squad when he want implementing his strategy. Tottenham need so much time to make rapid the changes. They playing good on europa league but bad when meet a team which is not very good when compare a team from europa league. The problem is squad, they don't have good initiative in building up the attacks, and don't understand how to defend properly.

It's due to the his price and unsustainable performance. Don't you remember when Ekitike failed at PSG, then shine after he went to Bundesliga? Yeah that's probably the main reason why Arsenal was not signing him, and his 80m looked pricey too.

Hugo Ekitike is beginning to understand himself and morph into the Liverpool squad comfortably. He was overpriced though young and vibrant. He also wasn't linked with Arsenal last season, it was earlier this season. Viktor Gyökeres remains that l, he just had players who can not create enough chances for him to get to goal. It is sad to see the numbers 9f Gyökeres because the same player pulled up great numbers last season with sporting lisbon.

Every defeat has a reason, and I saw that Tottenham's attacking efforts weren't very effective, and conversely, their defense wasn't up to par, making it difficult for them to score or keep not broken into. Nottingham Forest played more effectively and capitalized on their scoring potential, so we saw that despite Tottenham dominating possession, Nottingham Forest managed to score three goals to secure the win. Responsible gambling is a personal choice, and I believe that if you don't want to lose more money, you must be responsible for how you spend money on gambling.

Man City beat Crystal Palace 3–0 away and took all 3 points. It was a very comfortable win for City, they dominated the match and completed the week without dropping points.

This was a clean and well deserved win for man city. I don't know why, but it seems some premier League teams haven't realized that Pep is awake for good. Let's talk about that horrible miss by Yeremy Pino after the clear one-on-one opportunity was created from the Up-through pass; he had only one job, but failed to do it right. How would you hit aim for the crossbar from that position as an attacker?

But then, in the 41st minute of the game, the super game changer got a swift cross, he stayed in position, locked in and delivered the super header safely into the net. Halland deserves his flowers at this point! Then Phil Foden scored again out of nowhere, 6 goals already in 5 matches. I saw an entirely different picture of the professionalism in City players yesterday.

He not only plays but knows how to find the back of the net, man scores goals for scoring sake and we didn’t expect much of him really, he really is giving more than we hoped and was surely a good addition to this Liverpool squad.

Ekitike's role in this Liverpool squad is crucial as a goal-scoring machine for Liverpool, as Mohamed Salah, once a leading goal scorer, has seen his form decline as he turns 33.

Ekitike's goal against Brighton lifted Liverpool several places in the standings, reigniting the rivalry with Manchester United.
While at Liverpool, Ekitike appears to be a key player, at Manchester United, Bryan Mbeumo's pace could create scoring opportunities. However, Bryan Mbeumo will soon be absent from the squad due to international duty with Cameroon. Manchester United will also be temporarily without Amad Dialo.

I am happy for Pep Guardiola. At least now I can say Manchester City are back to winning ways. I really felt for him during that difficult period when City were struggling so badly. It felt like they were just showing up to matches to get beaten by any team they faced, which is something we are not used to seeing from a Pep team.
You could see the frustration on him, and as someone who respects what he has achieved in football, it was really hard to watch. This turnaround is good to see, not just for Manchester City, but for Pep himself. A coach of his level deserves better than what that rough spell looked like seriously.

Manchester united had an amazing performance in there last week game against wolves when wolves was trash in an unexpected manner to enable Manchester united get away with the complete three point in the game with a 4:1 victory at last.  In that game it was indeed an unexpected occurrences for Manchester united after experiencing an inconsistent performance in there game against everton then later got back on track by winning wolves in an unbelievable way.

Manchester united is sitting at 8 position in the premier league table with 25 points with one asstanding game which if they could win can move then to 4, so on that note they will do everything humanly possible to win in today's game if they want to play Europe football next season, which I strongly believe is a work over game for Manchester united because Bournemouth is no way close to Manchester united in as aspect

I think Hugo Ekitike is telling the Liverpool manager that he didn’t come to Liverpool to stay on bench and be a second striker, with his performances, he keeps pushing the manager to start him on games regularly, the coach have been trying to integrate Alexander Isak into the starting lineup because of his huge price tag, Hugo Ekitike reminds me of Roberto Firmino with his style of playing.

I’m just wondering if Arsenal was ever linked with Hugo Ekitike because they were more interested in Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, I don’t think Hugo Ekitike was ever linked with Arsenal and the striker isn’t performing.

The manager have to find away to play Hugo Ekitike regularly and also find a plan for Isak, because Isak was bought for a huge amount of money, and he can’t be kept on the bench and the board will also demand more from Isak considering the huge amount of money and price tag on his head.

To date, Ekitike is our most successful signing made by Arne Slot. He came from Frankfurt, and we believe that not many people were aware of his potential, which is why other teams did not seriously pursue him.
His transfer process was also not as complicated as Isak or Gyokeres, who only wanted to join Arsenal.
His debut with Liverpool in the Community Shield saw him score a goal, and he continued his goal-scoring form in the two Premier League matches that followed the Community Shield.

Ekitike will continue his role as a goal-hungry striker, even though Liverpool already have Isak.
Isak is working hard to return to his best form with Liverpool. He has already scored one goal for the club.

It's quite strange and risky with Liverpool transfers in the summer by spending huge transfer fund for three attacking players: Wirtz, Ekitike and Isak while they let Diaz going to Bayern Munich. I agree that Liverpool must reshuffle their attacking player resource but they should do it gradually by keeping Diaz in the club. Three new players together with letting players like Diaz, Trent going away, Liverpool went all gambling that new attacking players will adapt well and perform good for their club, it has been actually not happening so far.

It's lucky for them as Ekitike seems to not be too terrible with his performances like Wirtz and Isak and perhaps with some more time, they will improve their performance quality for Liverpool.

He is like the only successful transfer so far for Liverpool since the summer, and Wirtz slowly improved his performances lately that is a positive signal for Liverpool. Isak is a most disappointed transfer so far with Liverpool and I think this striker will not improve well in this season and likely Liverpool must wait till a next season for better contributions from Isak.

No matter how well they play, they remain in the chasing pack, and if they don't win their match, they will stay in the middle of the league table. But the most important thing is that despite all the difficulties, they continue to move forward, and I think they are capable of winning their home match.  Therefore, there is much less criticism directed at Amorim now, and the fans are simply waiting to see how it all turns out. I'm not sure they can secure a Champions League spot, but anything can happen.

Yeah, I had envisaged Man City victory and placed the bet on them, and as it turned out, I was not wrong in my decision. The bet paid off. Haaland once again shone on the turf, scoring twice, though the second was from the penalty. Though I cast my vote for Arsenal, I think they should be afraid of Man City ^{they are literally hot on Arsenal heels}.

[X-ray]

Aston Villa should courage and class today as they came back from from behind to win 2:3 at away against West Ham United. After the first half ended 2:1 in favour of West Ham United I was thinking that the game was going to be difficult for Villa to play and come back eventually but that was not the case, as Villa came out in the second half and controlled the game making things difficult for the home team to play.


Villa is really in a very good run of form because, the way they play is something else they play with class especially in their attacks Villa has one of the most fastest fronts line that is in the premier League their counter attack is so deadly a team may be pressing them but when they go on the counter it's difficult for teams to stop their attacks because of the way that their attacks runs .

That's insane performance from Villa. Their recent win makes it 9 unbeaten games in a row. They're now overshadowing Arsenal and City. I thought that they would end in the midtable, but it seems they're truly competing for the UCL spot at very least.

All of you said is true, they're good in attack especially when it comes to the counter attack. However, their defense still a shaky, and have to improve in order to be more balanced.

Always remember a good defense is a good offense philosophy. When they can improve their defense, they can be unbeaten. I saw their attacked even more deadliest than Arsenal. Crazy!!

[hyudien]

This week Premier League match will once again be closed by Man Utd. Their previous close was a resounding victory over Wolves, which is not surprising considering Wolves are a relegation zone team. This time, it's a bit more challenging, as they host Bournemouth. Why? Let's look at the odds.



It's clear that even with Bournemouth poor form and away status, bookmakers are giving Man Utd high odds. So, there might be a risk in taking a straight win for the Old Trafford side. But is it possible they can't win? I'm a bit optimistic and want to take this bold move.

Congrats... It wasn't an easy victory for Manchester City as it looks on the score actually. Crystal Palace played the first half way better. They wasted insane goal chances.

Ball possession isn't everything in football. We saw it again in this match after the Arsenal - Wolves match as well.

This win helps Manchester City keep their 2nd place. The title race is going on really interestingly.

Isak, just wait and see. Isak's goal instinct is amazing. Just look at when Isak scored against West Ham United. Isak's instinctive speed is extraordinary.
I don't think Isak is bad, it's just that the situation hasn't been right for him since he arrived at Anfield from Newcastle.
Liverpool and players like Isak will gradually return to a positive trend, and Isak's contributions will become evident. If he stays injury-free, he'll always be a fan favorite. Don't doubt it.
