⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[WatChe]

Yes, that's true, I think this is a fair result because Liverpool and Arsenal are both strong Premier League teams, despite Liverpool's slightly slumped condition this season, but when the match between two big teams is of course different, and I don't think there is any problem with this result because Arsenal is still at the top of the standings.

It's looks like Liverpool won't be able to defend their title. The only thing they can do now is to finish among top 4 to qualify for the UEFA and it's very much possible because still 17 more games to be played. Liverpool draw against Arsenal is an indication that Liverpool is trying its best to finish among top teams of this season.

Well, Arsenal won't mind the draw, they shouldn't let it happen again because they won't find themselves lucky as this, to have Manchester City and Aston Villa draw with them in any week's match.

However, I will count this draw that Manchester City and Aston Villa had as the savior of Arsenal because if it had been Manchester City and Aston Villa had won their week 21 game, they would have drawn closer to Arsenal by points, leading to pressure on Arsenal not to lose or draw their remaining matches.

Gunners are lucky in week 21 but everyday is not Sunday and gunners must not relax in upcoming games because they are just 6 points ahead of Man City and Villa. Both City and Villa are in good form and both are eyeing for EPL title also. Arsenal must win few of ti's upcoming matches to extend it's lead and stay on top.

In know distant time from now Manchester united will be facing Brighton in there second game since there manager Ruben Amorim was sacked and darren fletcher made there interim, in there first game when the interim manager was in charge he managed to secure a draw and today all are expecting to see what he is capable of doing. Although from my own point of view i think its a direct win for Manchester united on that game as they have every thing it takes to win on that game, not that there opponents is that weak but no matter how strong Brighton may think they are, one cannot compare them to Manchester united in all rectification.

[Wakate]

So far Arsenal is doing well they have proven so many fans who couldn't believe that they will be at the top of the table to January wrong as they had continued to extend their point from two points to 5 points head of Manchester City, right now Arsenal coach is adding experience and mind game because using so much strength to chase the league without adding wisdom will make the players get injured and that has been the reason why Manchester City has always overtaken them in the past.

Arsenal has shows that they have everything in place to win the premier league and it is going to be a huge achievement this years if they are able to win the league. Manchester City has been trying hard to win all their matches without loses so that they can get close to the top, over taking Arsenal to win the premier league. With Consistentency, Arsenal can win this trophy.

Manchester united are a strong team. But betting  on their matches is foolish. They don't even know which matches they will play well in. Manchester united have drawn in their last three matches. They  have failed to win against weak teams like Leeds, wolves and burnley. All three teams are at the bottom of the points table. Winning against brighton is even more difficult for Manchester united. If united's performance does not improve, they will not be able to win.
United's players are capable of attacking a lot. But they lose points due to poor finishing and weak defense. If the defense is strong and if they do not concede goals, they have a chance to earn  points.

I've learnt to play it safe when it comes to games involving Man united. They're quite inconsistent in their performance and it has become difficult to go all in, hoping for a Man united win. Yeah, Brighton may be a weaker side compared to Man united but that doesn't mean it would be a direct win for Man united.
Looking at their recent epl games, they had a draw against Leeds and Wolves. In both cases, Man united are significantly better than these clubs yet they went on to draw these games. These games that supporters had hoped and called it for Man united seeing as United is currently stronger than these teams.
In this game against Brighton, I'll keep an open mind and hope for a Man United win.

I think Mancester United would do their best not to lose this match but it does not mean that it would be easy for them because the team is currently going through a crisis...the best option for this game is a BTTS pick because Mancester united are going to score and definitely going to concede because that's been what they do constantly in almost every game..let's see what happens

[Akbarkoe]

Don't rush into Arsenal before they have two matches left to play in the English Premier League, even though they are a very strong candidate this season, we know Arsenal has always been disappointing even though they have a lot of potential to win until the end of the season. Looking at Manchester City, who have also struggled this season in winning matches, especially in their last three matches which resulted in draws, the difference in points is only 6 and it is still very possible for Manchester City to catch up in the next matches.

Of course they will put in efforts to make sure that they won't go on a defeat but we should by now know that Manchester United is not to be trusted so we don't expect anything new in this match, the BTTS option you opted for is good and am sure you made your conclusion based on their recent matches that has always ended in them scoring and their opponent reciprocating, if that's it, you are right on that prediction, I won't be happy to see this manchester United next season, they don't seem serious to me, they don't have to continue like this, and I think they should better prepare very well for next season.

[X-ray]

It seems Arsenal does everything to make the current season as their most successful season. They're now hired throw in coach to boost the distance of their ball throw in. I don't even think it will give a lot of impact caused by the throw in is already long enough.

I respect how they're trying to do big gamble for this season. Let's see whether it's gonna work or not. What do you think? Does hire a throw in coach is urgent at this moment? I'm thinking the label as a setpiece FC is just getting even real.

FA Cup producing some shaky results for our premier league teams which could mean they either don't want to play in this competition or the other teams have stepped up their game to show the world that they can rub shoulders with the big boys, but so far not impressed..

Up next is Manchester United facing fellow EPL team Brighton... Already I see a draw in the 90minutes as Utd are specialists in this department  unless otherwise

[IjawMan]

Only three teams are actually title contenders they are Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa apart from these three teams I don't personally see any other team as going for the league title. We can see this in the way that these three teams have been able to maintain a steady form especially Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Even though there are 3 teams that could realistically win the league, I honestly think Arsenal look like they have the biggest chance this season compared to Man City and Aston Villa. In every match, Arsenal seem more focused on not dropping points than playing reckless, and taking a draw is clearly the smart move when a win isn’t possible. This kind of no drama, just points mentality is why I believe it’s finally Arsenal’s turn to lift the trophy.

Arsenal has the biggest chance to win the league and it is a chance 3x bigger than what the rest of the teams in the top four position has.  In the premier league I can boldly state that Arsenal have the team that are in the most form.

What is left to do is for the coach to make sure his players remain consistent, manage on injuries and fatigue reduction cause that has been the repeated mistakes with Arsenal which has led to them only coming close at winning the premiership title.

Manchester united have full potential to win this match. But their performance is inconsistent. Brighton is not in good form this season. Their defense is weak. Manchester united is in the same situation. I agree with you that this match is most likely to be a draw. Brighton is ahead  in the last 5 matches between these two teams. Brighton has won three of the 5 matches and Manchester united has won two. Anyway, as we can see from the performance of both teams this season , the  match is more likely to end in 0- 0 or 1 -1 in 90 minutes.

I'm also a little more confident in Arsenal's chances now because in addition to learning from the mistakes of previous seasons, Arsenal's overall strength has also improved significantly. What Arteta needs to do is manage his players to prevent injuries because if that happens, it will be difficult for Arsenal to maintain overall team consistency and this could also impact their chances. Compared to some other teams, Arsenal does have a much better chance because I see them as much more consistent and perhaps this is Arsenal's best chance of winning the title this season.

Arsenal as it is has gotten a team, if arsenal maintain consistency in the English premier League, there is no team that will stand as a threat to them, I don't forget how difficult January and February use to be for teams, arsenal has to make sure they remain steadfast, this is not time to lose any game, draw is not even allowed at this point, English premier League is a league we can not predict, Arsenal has to battle it to the end, this is the time they should confront any team they face as an enemy that wants to depruvet them the title, I wish them luck, I hope they do not miss it this season because if they do, it might not be easy next season.

That's exactly why they don't actually have full potential for that.    Inconsistency... The source of it is the bad management of the team.

Amorim or any other manager they sacked in a short time wasn't the main source of the problem for them. Patience and having a good transfer strategy are key factors in getting stronger.

At the moment they are 1-0 behind by the way. I think they will get eliminated.

it is almost the end of first half and Brighton is already winning the match, I didn't really watch how the goal was scored but I think Brighton took advantage of a narrow opportunity they had because Manchester United has more ball possession in the game.well, like you predicted the game might end in a 1-1 draw in full time only if Manchester united doesn't mess up in the second half.

With Consistentency, Arsenal can win this trophy.

Arsenal ain't joking, we are going harder and harder because how on earth did it turn out like this, because I was expecting thing should be the way they have always been, where they are always giving the impression of winning without winning,  and a lot of people did not believe in us till now, and until we win the premier league and am very sure a lot of things are going to be different and there is way that they were making the whole thing look like and at some point i was also unsure but now i so much trust them.

And I like how we are not settling down at all because it will only complicate things for us, and that is why we can not afford to lose any game, and everything must be taken seriously, and we can win it because even Manchester City are just there, so a lot of things are still there, that will obstruct us from winning and that is why i don't even want arsenal to take any chance. because football is something before you know the game will become different and you imagined what must have happened.

All the top clubs are struggling to win their contenders but to be frank, Arsenal have really tried this season to defeat so many clubs that we thought will convinently defeat them making the match to end in a draw. That is better for a draw than their opponents to beat them. This is a fight for the top and it's not going to be easy for any club to dominate the top for several weeks.

Intriguing development for Brighton fans.Halftime ended 0-1 in Brighton’s favor. But I think in the second half Manchester will take the lead, and the match will finish 2-1. They were very energetic in the first half but less fortunate than Brighton, who managed to score literally at the start. Bruno Fernandes should show what he is really made of.   ^{I’m watching live, let’s see what really happens}.

UPD. Ha-ha. 73 minute, 2-0 in Brighton’s favor.

UPD.UPD.I wasn’t wrong about the match score, 2 - 1. I was only wrong about the winner.

[ILuckyGuyI]

After this break in the PL a really nice game is going to greet us!

• Man Utd - Man City

Of course Guardiola's club is the obvious favourite here. Man Utd is still in pain because of inconsistencies. And it's still not known who's going to be their next coach. Until then Fletcher takes care of the club.

In this situation I don't expect them to show a great effort in this derby honestly. 1.85 odds for Man City look just great! I might bet on it early in fact.
