⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

It is foolish to bet on chelsea and manchester united matches. The performance of both these teams is very erratic. It is impossible to predict with certainty which match they will play better.

Chelsea played against bournemouth at home. Considering the home match, they should have won. The performance of Chelsea's attacking players was quite good. They were able to create many  attacking opportunities. But there was some weakness in finishing. Anyway, Chelsea's defense was shaky. If the defenders had played better , chelsea could have won the match. Chelsea has  conceded 6 goals in the last 3 matches of the Premier League. Chelsea's performance  will not be stable unless the defense is stronger.

Even as a United fan (who's seen some improvement this season), I have to agree. Both teams currently have 30 points, which is simply ridiculous after 19 rounds. I am surprised that with such a number of points these two teams are (for now) in the European Cup zone and in fact not that far from the Champions League zone. The last round is a complete crime. How can United give a point in a home game to a team that's in last place and has only two points before this game? Chelsea vs. Bournemouth (15th place) is the same.

Mikel Arteta is also doing good changes which making things positive for this team and their chances for staying at the top.

Bold films from someone who has not been able to win anything very big. I understand that they are playing really well but if this league was so easy for them then they should be able to win the English Premier League trophy pretty often right? How many times have they done that? The last time Arsenal was able to win the English Premier League trophy was probably in 2004 if I am not wrong. It was more than two decades ago. Honestly I have to question if he actually said it or not because if he actually did he should have known that he is going to get trolled or not for this.

Is impossible to guess what Manchester United is gonna do in the next minute or second, is really impossible they are the most irregular and no sense team in the whole league, how the fuck you won against good teams and always drop points against the most weaker ones, the one from yesterday it was hilarious, how you can drop points against Wolves. Is just incredible.

Wolves is a team that is losing matches in the premier league up and down, and i thought Manchester United would also beat Wolves. My belief made me bet on Manchester United because Wolves is not a threat for any team in the premier league, but to my surprise, Wolves managed to collect 1 point from Manchester United, and i believe Manchester United will spoil a lot of bet tickets. Manchester United won Wolves in their first game in the premier league this season, and i think Manchester United did not beat Wolves because they did not play with their full squad.

Those teams are such a mess I can't even really tell which is better between those teams, the one that surprise me the most is Chelsea on how they have dropped form so bad like they started the English premier League looking like Mufasa in Lion King now they look like a baby Simba, like they are both just too hilarious, for Manchester United I think their problem is the manager like Manchester United actually needs a manager that is more than Ruben Amorim, like he's really got nothing to offer to the Manchester United team, the earlier the management know this the better for the entire team.

Yesterday’s match was a surprising one for me, I never believed Manchester United will be playing draw in the match, Manchester United played against wolves, a team which every club have been winning, wolves haven’t been able to get any win this season, they had two draws before Manchester United, and now they have three draws, and they have lost 16 matches already.

So you telling me Manchester United can’t win wolves, I was just so sure that Manchester United would win their match against wolves, but surprisingly they played draw.

Nobody knows how Manchester United will perform in their subsequent matches, but right now we should lower our expectations on Manchester United whenever they are playing, we shouldn’t always expect much from Manchester United whenever they are playing.

Manchester United won Wolves in their first game in the premier league this season, and i think Manchester United did not beat Wolves because they did not play with their full squad.

If there is any team that is unlucky for this season, I'm going to give it up for Wolves. The past seasons wasn't this way for them and I don't know what changes for the team. I don't know much about the affairs of the team but something is off about this season this season. Not able to win one game is big problem, not sure if I have seen that in a while here in the Premier league. The other seasons, hardly I do come and see them around relegation zone.

So far, they have loss 16 games this season, that means Wolves has distributed free 3 points for 16 teams, 48 points down from the top of the table and Arsenal has 45, there is nothing they are going to play for the rest of the season that is going to change anything on the table. Sunderland been a new team along side Leed is two teams I expected to see in relegation but I love how things are changing in the Premier league, let's see hot teams from championship.

That is a very big sign that a particular football Club will end a season trophyless. When you cannot predict the particular football Club that a team can win and the ones that they cannot win, no that that really team is not capable of winning any trophy.
As we speak, if Manchester United has match with Brighton, I am not sure that Manchester United will be able to win;
If Manchester United has match with Crystal Palace, I'm not also sure that Manchester United is going to win.
If they also have match with Everton, I am also not sure that they will win.
In fact they can win Chelsea today and lose to Wolves tomorrow, that is high level inconsistency and it is not good for any team. It does s not also result the trophy.
So it is good that we just assume that Manchester United is going this season trophyless again and their current coach - Amorim is not the man to lead Manchester United to glory.

What a way to end the year. 4-1 scoreline is how champions win a game. A lot of people were expecting Arsenal to lose to Aston Villa especially since Villa recently  beat Chelsea at home. But I knew Arteta was going to come up with a game plan to beat Unai Emery and I wasn’t disappointed. Winning crucial games like these is how Arsenal are going to win the title.

Definitely it is fantastic thing and very important thing to end the year like this, the winning was massive and it was very impressive from Arteta's men. To me and most fans, this winning was not expected and the margin was much to a team like Villa that has been dominating with their winning streak. It shocked so many persons in silence as they expected a lose from this game to Arsenal. But the result was in favour to Arteta's men.
Right now Arsenal are still toping the table and it is something that we need to give them acolade, it has not been an easy one, as they have been leading from the early hours of the season, and they are not giving up on this, good one for them.

It's been a great year for Arsenal.
Aston Villa, however, is a big club, whose performance has been very consistent so far, even after 11 wins, finally, they broke the winning streak, by losing against Arsenal.

Staying at the top standing.
And Arsenal continued their unbeaten record in 2025 at the Emirates. Their performance at this stadium has been truly optimal this time.

It is very unfortunate that the situation of Manchester United is like this, yet the management seems not to understand what is happening. they believe that the club is gradually bouncing back to greatness but I do not believe that way.
As I always say, what wins match for big clubs is that fear factor that smaller clubs have for the big clubs. If Manchester United is able to beat wolves five goals to nil, the next club that will play Manchester United win surely be afraid of Manchester United.

But in this situation that wolves was able to hold Manchester United to a draw, that means any other club that is playing Manchester United in the next fixture will come with all amount of conviction and energy and at the end of the day there might be able to get the whole 3 points or 1 point from Manchester United. This is why it is important to win when it is more clubs.

The positive results that Aston Villa has in the last 2 months must be destroyed in this match when Arsenal really shows their capacity.
Aston Villa played very well in the first half especially when they were constantly pounded and only focused on defense but Gabriel Magalhães' opening goal in the young half made Aston Villa's mentality decline and it was actually successfully utilized by Arsenal well.

After one goal Aston Villa's focus seemed to be split and it made their defense chaotic which made Arsenal look like they could easily add another 3 goals.
Arsenal are now still comfortable after this victory but this could be a little bad for Aston Villa because they have to reorganize the pattern that was neatly arranged from the start because this defeat could backfire for them.

Many people didn't expect them to lose, but many thought they might lose 2 or 3 points. But Arsenal didn't make any mistakes this time. In previous years, they couldn't win such high-stakes matches, which is why they couldn't become champions. Maybe this year will be different and if they continue to win such big matches, they will become champions. 2025 ended well for them, but what matters is which trophies are won by the end of May. You can lead the league all season long, but if you can't finish the final week in first place, it means nothing.

Aston Villa was busy winning most of the big clubs and everyone expected the same result against Arsenal but it turned out to be the opposite because Arsenal humiliated them and put them in a very tight corner that they could do nothing.

The consolation goal came in at the dying minute to stop Arsenal from winning them on a clean sheet. Arsenal should try their best and win the title this season because they have proven to be strong and ready for it.

Aston Villa can not beat all big clubs in Premier League and anyone think of this possibility is very unrealistic. The defeat by Arsenal is like a necessary wakeup pill for Aston Villa, that in my opinion is very helpful for their focus on remaining matches of the season and their targets like top four at least and if possible, try to participate in the title competition in as many weeks as possible.

Even Aston Villa won't get any of these targets, by participating in this competition with strongest clubs in Premier League, it will be helpful for enriching their experience, strengthening their mentality and competitiveness which all can help them performing better in upcoming seasons.

Today Manchester City will face Sunderland on Sunderland’s turf. I hope New Year’s celebrations didn’t affect their form and that they’ll pick up another 3 points. I’m aware that Sunderland have an unbeaten home record, but the head‑to‑head history between these teams convinces me that Man City will win. The Golden Boy has to open the scoring in the New Year. I’ll probably place my first 2026 bet on Manchester City.

This is how the points look in the Premier League while we are ending this year...

What a win by Arsenal right guys?    We watched 2 different halves. Aston Villa found critical chances in the first part of the match but wasted them all. Maybe we could have talked about a different scenario now.

Arsenal played the second half incredibly! That's definitely a deserved big win. Emery's streak was going to end sooner or later but the way of its end must have made him quite unhappy.

The comeback of Gabriel Magalhaes became a nightmare for Villa's winning streak. I know he changed everything when he was coming back. Arsenal was so shaky in defense when he was injured, but comeback from injury, then scored.

That's why the pair MagalhaesxSaliba is likely the key for them to keep their performance up.

This is actually hilarious because it's like someone that has not won anything in the past teaching people on how to win something.

I agree with everything you said about this bro, I seriously doubt if he said that because he is making a mockery of himself if he truly says something like that.
Over the past few seasons they have shown signs of winning the Epl title but once it has gotten to the defining stage of the season, that's when they start misbehaving by being inconsistent, and they will later not win anything, so I do not believe that Mikel arteta truly says this.

I remember a few days ago, many doubted Arsenal, and most believed the match would end in a draw. But I confidently say Arsenal will win this time. I believe Arteta is the type of manager who strives to understand the opponent's tactics and find their weaknesses.

But one question I have is, can Arsenal truly maintain this form until the end of the season? This is a question that's always on my mind.

Sooner or later Aston Villa unbeaten game streak will definitely come to an end, well I would tell you the odds was in Favour of arsenal to win this game. You said something about everyone expecting Arsenal to lose because Aston Villa beat Chelsea, I don’t think that true, the truth is Aston Villa have beat all big side This season and it always a culture for them to always put arsenal in misery when arsenal are in need of points, well in this game Arteta was very lucky no to have conceded first it would have been a different game. In the first 20min of this game Aston Villa able well to create 3 big chances just that they were unable to convert.

I expected arsenal to win, with Gabriel back at the side they were always going to be much stronger than Villa especially that the game is been played at Emirates. It was an entertaining game and I really enjoyed this one, I even ended up winning my gamble, I bet on arsenal to win and it came through without even much stress. Let see if it will be the season Arsenal finally wins the league.
