⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

The way of entering new year in the PL wasn't fun honestly. Last night was really boring I agree about that. Some people might say there were still many attacks, shots and saves which make a match more enjoyable.

But to tell the truth it doesn't sound fun to me unless I see some goals.    After these results Arteta must be quite happy. His team have increased the point gap again. 4 points with Manchester City and 6 with Aston Villa!

after winning the arsenal vs. aston villa match, they secured a pretty good position in the standings with last night's results. it was particularly interesting that the manchester city match ended in a goalless draw, despite city being such heavy favorites. only two goals were scored in four matches yesterday, and while many people think this was a prearranged fix, we must remember that anything is possible. although most bettors were dissatisfied with yesterday's results, this too was a possibility within the realm of probability.

with the current betting odds, arsenal's chances of winning the premier league title this season have almost reached their peak. i wonder if they can pull it off.

Well it was a bad day yesterday, especially for we gamblers, all the 4 premier league games that was played yesterday ended in a draw, which is very unlikely. Well as for me I lost all my best, I gambled on Manchester city to win and for Tottenham to play over 2.5 goals but it all ended in a bad bet. I really hope tomorrow when the premier league games are played we see a lot of goals.

It a 4 points gap between arsenal and Manchester city now and I will tell you that it still a long way to go. It been an exciting season so far and arsenal are looking favorite to win the league this but they would have to put up a big fight if they really want to bring the premier league to London this season.

Most of the results of yesterday's English Premier League games came as a huge surprise to gamblers especially the Sunderland Vs Manchester City game at the famous Stadium of Light. They were too boring to watch and for the people that staked on them, most of them ended up losing their bets but that's actually part of the game. Football as always will leave you with surprising results when you least expected but the good thing is that more games will still be played this from tomorrow, so there's still chances to win big this weekend staking on EPL games.

Yes I know there will be some saves, dangerous attacks and many more but to tell the truth a goal is the only thing that cheers me in football, like yesterday matches were all boring, to the extent even Manchester City that I built so much trust on ended up playing draw with Sunderland it was really disappointing honestly, now I can clearly say Arsenal is winning the English premier League title this season no doubt, because the point difference now is 4 and with the way I'm seeing Arsenal I don't see them dropping form anytime soon.

[Distraction]

Liverpool were really disappointing. I thought they would win as long as they kept their effort in the first half. But I was wrong. All those shots and no goal at the end.

I think they won't still finish the season out of top 4. Because Maresca has just left Chelsea and we don't know who will fill his place. Manchester United also don't seem very credible either with their inconsistencies.

Manchester United is going to play against Leeds United on Sunday. The odds for MU are 2.65 and Leeds are 2.70, a pretty close match.

In the last match against Wolves, they were unable to get three points. You know wolves are in the 20th position of the table. So they were unable to get three points against a team that is literally at the bottom of the table. That is why I am not confident about them getting three points in the next match as well. To be honest, Manchester United is absolutely trash at this moment. So it is very hard to trust them with anything right now. And honestly I do not see anything improving unless the owner changes. Which of course is probably not going to happen anytime soon.

That loss of points was unbelievable mate. Wolves can produce nice amount of goal chances even in big matches. I'm okay with that. But still they just can't show the expected performance anyway. Manchester United should have taken advantage of it.

All the games played in the English Premier league yesterday all ended in draw but Manchester City games was also a surprising thing to me, i believe Arsenal will be happy with that result. I expected Manchester City to win since Arsenal won so they could still keep the point gap to 2 but now the point has increased to 4 but this is what always happen in football the game is always full with surprises, i stake on Manchester City to win but they disappointed but that's gambling nothing is guaranteed we try again this week.

Aston Villa won their game against gunners on Dec 6 and gunners made a strong comeback against Aston Villa by beating them 4-1. Man City had a draw against Sunderland and that has given Arsenal a 4 points lead against Man City. We are now at half way of the premier league and Arsenal are favourite to lift the trophy provided they retain their form in rest of the 19 games also. Villa and City had not a great Week 19 but they are still in contest and Arsenal need to keep this in mind.

[Emitdama]

Disappointing results from all games of today!!

How do you explain four draws all in one day

If this was some lower league it was going to be easy to claim these were fixed matches but for a top tier league like the EPL.. this is total BS.. Anyway big result of Sunday who looked like the more dangerous team whenever the counter attacked and City.. well these look like they were Hangovered such that they couldn't run or make any crosses.. I think this was the worst City game I have watched  

Yesterday was disappointing due to poor performance of top teams while punters also have big loses because too many were expecting good number of goals in few games especially Sunderland vs Manchester City and Liverpool vs Leeds United.

Brentford vs Tottenham was surely a balanced game, but other two games gave serious setback to teams and their fans as well now 20th round is also having few interesting games like Manchester City is hosting Chelsea and Liverpool visiting high-flying Fulham, things could be not easy for Manchester United which is having difficult visit of Leeds United while Everton will be host Brentford, these games can create good changes in league table.

[BigBos]

What's interesting in week 19 is that most teams won a draw, there were only 3 teams that won, namely Arsenal, Everton and Newcastle, while the others ended with a draw. That's very interesting and it's a rare thing.

Oh yes after suffering a crushing defeat last week, in week 20 Aston Villa will face Nottingham Forest who are under their strength. Nottingham Forest won 4 defeats in their last 5 matches, while Aston Villa only felt 1 defeat and that happened in the previous week.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Brennan Johnson leaves Tottenham to join Crystal Palace right away.



How do you find this signing? Honestly I think he isn't the kind of a player Tottenham should have normally. I shouldn't say it only for him of course. It wouldn't be fair.

The Tottenham squad as a whole is just not impressive enough. They don't have enough power to play for bigger achievements. The same is valid for Manchester United also.

yesterday was a big disappointment from the premier league games, three games ended as a goaless draw, what a new year surprise. This is the reason they say that football is full of surprises, who would have believed that Manchester city would not be able to win Sunderland,  i found it very difficult to believe. Maybe it is best to avoid betting on premier league games for a few weeks

[Mate2237]

What's interesting in week 19 is that most teams won a draw, there were only 3 teams that won, namely Arsenal, Everton and Newcastle, while the others ended with a draw. That's very interesting and it's a rare thing.

Oh yes after suffering a crushing defeat last week, in week 20 Aston Villa will face Nottingham Forest who are under their strength. Nottingham Forest won 4 defeats in their last 5 matches, while Aston Villa only felt 1 defeat and that happened in the previous week.

Aston Villa has tried their best by sustaining a winning momentum for a long period of time and and now they are sliding down as they were defeated by 4:1 by Arsenal last weekend. I am not expecting Villa to be win this game because it's natural that a team which has sustained this type of performance will come down. Villa is stressed out and fatigue has set in it will take a while before Villa will come back to winning ways.


Forest too has not been performing badly so I expect this game to be a tight one knowing that, these two teams are top teams which needs results badly at this point of the season. This game can go either way because both teams are dangerous.

Manchester United is going to play against Leeds United on Sunday. The odds for MU are 2.65 and Leeds are 2.70, a pretty close match.

Which of course is probably not going to happen anytime soon.

I don't know if anyone will believe me but I'm having the feeling that Leeds will win Manchester United in that match. Manchester United failure to win Wolves at Old Trafford have made me to doubt them and a strong team like Leeds that held Liverpool to a goalless draw, will find it easier to defeat Manchester United. Leeds is very good when they play at home and they don't have any form of respect for big teams. They will not only dominate the match, Manchester United might concede more than two goals.

England really did gamblers dirty in premier league yesterday, 4 matches yesterday was draw I mean who was expecting that and among the 4 matches it was only crystal palace that scored, it was really sad and folks that use to play goals and straight win will be most disappointed because there was no goal neither was there a win. And yes among all the game played yesterday even if I was expecting a draw at last not from Manchester city because I believed they will always want to follow Arsenal so that the gap won't be much but I think right now arsenal Is leading with about 5 points and that has given them a bit confident.

[jostorres]

Most of the games ended in draw and Liverpool against leeds did not surprise me at all and that of Manchester city surprised me the most because I saw how Manchester city fans were busy running there mouth and they thought Aston Villa was going to defeat us and they have forgotten that we have an unbeaten record nobody have defeated arsenal home. And arsenal meeting against Bournemouth and arsenal is on fire and there is nothing that can go wrong at this point and the moment we win that game is going to make things more interesting because arsenal are doing all they could to win the league.

Arteta is busy working hard to make arsenal win the league and even with how everything is turning the man keeps making everything possible just to see that club win the Premier league and even the Champions league is in the radar so arsenal is committed about both leagues and I expect them to be able to win both of them because who is going to stop us nobody that am seeing.

Weather and strong defensive strategy from weaker sides put big clubs in drain, and they were not able to have any action despite having great attacking options in these games, both Leeds United and Sunderland are newly promoted, and their sources are also not near half of these big clubs still they produce shocks and stay in good spot.

Liverpool is having troubling time, and they are trying to have some good rhythm and things back on their control but draw between Sunderland and Manchester City gave serious shock to Citizens fans and gamblers as well because too many bets for both teams to score and have over 2.5 gone wrong, and they lost big money.

Damn, that’s like the definition of trash. At this point it’s better for them to just take the throw in instead of corner. They might have a better chance from the throw in to score goals. And I also think that Liverpool is going to face some problems. because they have already announced that the coach is going to leave after this season. Even though a lot of people think that it is going to be good for Liverpool because now Mohammed Salah is going to stay but I think as a club it is going to have a bit of negative effect on them.

[Miles2006]

after winning the arsenal vs. aston villa match, they secured a pretty good position in the standings with last night's results. it was particularly interesting that the manchester city match ended in a goalless draw, despite city being such heavy favorites. only two goals were scored in four matches yesterday, and while many people think this was a prearranged fix, we must remember that anything is possible. although most bettors were dissatisfied with yesterday's results, this too was a possibility within the realm of probability.

with the current betting odds, arsenal's chances of winning the premier league title this season have almost reached their peak. i wonder if they can pull it off.

Aston Villa won their game against gunners on Dec 6 and gunners made a strong comeback against Aston Villa by beating them 4-1. Man City had a draw against Sunderland and that has given Arsenal a 4 points lead against Man City. We are now at half way of the premier league and Arsenal are favourite to lift the trophy provided they retain their form in rest of the 19 games also. Villa and City had not a great Week 19 but they are still in contest and Arsenal need to keep this in mind.

Arsenal were more likely to win Aston Villa this time around yet unpredictable, the club don’t want to miss any chance staying at the top though the point difference is not so big compared to other seasons Arsenal had more point difference and yet didn’t win the title. Manchester City is a major challenge for the gunners viewing their performance currently meanwhile I can’t determine the strength of Aston Villa and Liverpool. Manchester city will be facing Chelsea this time around while Arsenal will be facing Bournemouth, well Arsenal and Manchester city possibilities are very high.

Maresca is really not the guy that can take Chelsea further. The fact that he won CWC made them put up with him this much but we all knew that he wasn't really doing anything crazy and because of that we are seeing them be this much longer to make this decision.

In the end, Chelsea needs someone better. Funny thing is, some people talked about how Maresca could be replacement for Pep Guardiola after he leaves, while Chelsea was doing fine. There is absolutely no chance that he could ever replace Pep, not in a million years, City would not be getting someone who is so much worse than Pep. If City ever gets anyone, believe me that manager would be one of the top five managers of the world once again when they sign the manager.

It's not surprising to see him get sacked but saying he's not the guy to take Chelsea forward is a bit too outrageous considering this statement was also used for Tuchel and some other managers that have been sacked by Chelsea. The main reason is Chelsea isn't just that club that believes in a manager long term regardless of their previous achievement. We see in the case of Arsenal who havven't won a major trophy under Arteta still stick with him.

One funny thing about fans at times is when the team is doing perfectly well they will all say good about the coach but when there is little inconsistency, they that where praising the same coach  will turn to criticise him. The same marasca they are criticising because he was sacked was the one that lead Chelsea to the club world cup final and even defeated PSG in the final last year, instead of giving him support now that he is going true difficulties we are saying all manners of rubbish just to justify our evil thoughts about him. Honestly speaking i don't like how fans go about situations, yes he was going through difficult moments in the team but never enough reason to write off his good works when we needed it must

Although Chelsea had started to improve, especially in the first half of the season, their performance has been very unstable lately. Although several of their top players have returned and made quite good progress, as a club, it hasn't lived up to Chelsea's expectations and targets.

And now, with their interim coach, Calum McFarlane, they still have to fight not only in the Premier League against Manchester City, which will undoubtedly be very tough. In fact, Chelsea's challenge is truly formidable, not least because Marezca was named Manager of the Month in December and was sacked in early January. So?

Definitely we all know that Chelsea has been a demanding club, and with this reason no matter the achievements a manager might have and fail to do well in the next moment, they will immediately call for a sack, this is what happens to Tuchel as well. Now Maresca has been sacked, no matter him winning the club world cup, they still sacked him due to his underperformance in recent games, this is what you will tend to get when you are heading a team that has a higher demand. The case of Arsenal is very different as they have that patient to wait and see the result.
