⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Solodoski]

Honestly I thought Chelsea is going to win the match until I left for something important to later find out that the game was not too favorable for Chelsea. They players don't even have to bother themselves of either winning because they are not even close to winning anything this season. I like Chelsea but the way the team has been delivery nonsense games this season is unbelievable.

What is the outcome now? Is it too easy for Chelsea to win. The way you all forget this is  the Premier League, makes me wonder if you do watch other leagues too. Unfortunately, I am right, most football fans don't watch other leagues to know that the premier league is the toughest league currently. Nottingham Forest fighting for reelgation won a team sitting second on the Turkish league, in the Europa League yesterday. If Real Madrid is in the Premier League, they will be in 10th position judging from their performance.

Chelsea failed to win against Burnley. Shall we call it chelsea's misfortune or their poor performance ?
Chelsea scored only  4 minutes into the match. Joao pedro scored the goal from a pass from pedro neto. After taking the lead in the fourth minute, they could  not score another goal in the entire match. This is certainly chelsea's attacking weakness. They needed to  play more aggressively in the home match and should  have secured the win by a big margin. on the other hand, burnley are a bit lucky so there's no denying it . They scored the only goal of the match after 90  minutes of the match. Zian flemming scored the goal in injury time.

Chelsea's inability to win tonight is not regarded as misfortune. It is called misfortune when it happens once but if it continuously happens, it is no longer a misfortune. It becomes a habit.
Chelsea is dropping points and as well as Aston Villa who also dropped point today. Remember that Arsenal dropped point last week. So this is a good evidence that the whole top four is quite open for anyone to occupy. We can exempt Arsenal and Manchester City but the top fourest is still open.

Let us be very calm and understand how this 27th week will happen. If Manchester United is able to win their match against Everton, they will solidify their position in the top 4. But with the ongoing trend, it is likely that Manchester United will not survive the Monday night football.

In the premier League games that are been played today there has been three draws and only one win in the four games that has been played today. We are waiting for the last game of the day and that, is the game between Manchester City vs Newcastle United in a game that, is very important. A win for Manchester City here will mean that Arsenal lead in the premier League will be reduced to only two points which will be decisive for the premier League.



Manchester City should approach this game in such a way that, the visitors will find it difficult to play. Newcastle were fantastic during the champions League playoffs as they scored alot of goals. Newcastle is one team that can cause a surprising result especially when coming up against teams that are fighting for the title, so city should watch it and approach this game with caution.

Chelsea performance was very bad in this game, I believe they lost due to their bad performance. They scored the opening goal in 4th minutes into the match, and I was expecting more goals from Chelsea, because it seemed like they were going to score more goals. They wasted so many chances to double the score, Palmer is one of the main reasons why they draw the match, the Chelsea fans overhype him, and he can’t even score without a penalty.

Chelsea against Burnley wasn’t a match I expected them to drop a point, Chelsea should have learn from their mistakes, they were unable to win their last two home matches against weak teams. If Chelsea had converted their chances, they wouldn’t have lost the match, this is example why one goal lead is very dangerous, an equalizer from the opponent will cost you the three points.

Chelsea disappointed their fans once again. 2 easy matches in a row:

• Leeds (H)
• Burnley (H)

Both ended in draws... If they lose points in such comfortable matches then which ones will they win? They are risking their chance of qualifying for the CL a lot in this way.

I'm more curious about the Everton - Manchester United match now! Truthfully I don't trust Carrick a lot in this one either. It's a quite tough one as you know. Everton aren't playing like the last season.

Chelsea can't take an advantage after Aston Villa losing three points by playing draw with Leeds United and Chelsea only get one points due playing draw against Burnely, Chelsea loss three points two matches in a row against the mediocre teams and its most disappointed result for their fans because current top 4th position standings awhile not secure yet for Chelsea behind Manchester United has the same points awhile but still has one match lest.
If Man United win against Everton automatically will back to 4th position and the same opportunity for Liverpool to fight for top fourth standings if can win this week games against Nottingham Forest.

I will personally call it a very poor performance from Chelsea, I expected more from them, lately their draws has been becoming something else, and the funny part of it all is that it's with small clubs.
But I will not totally blame them though, the season is rounding up and even small clubs seem to be a problem to bigger clubs, even wolves that is at the end of the table drew with arsenal, but even with that I am still disappointed with Chelsea, they should try harder.

I like Chelsea but the way the team has been delivery nonsense games this season is unbelievable.

Chelsea's performance tonight was indeed a total disappointment of the greatest order. Because imagine scoring at the very first 4 minutes into the game, and instead of scoring more goals, felt relaxed and only to be scored an equalizing goal at the very last 2 minutes into the ende of the game against Burnley. That's absolutely crazy and think both the entire players and the coach "Liam Rosenior" deserves to be blamed for this shortcoming, because they literally had all the opportunities to have won tonights game of only they had not felt relaxed during the extra time, while assuming they have already won. Because I'm 100% that's the mentality they might have had after playing the full 90 minutes. Which was disappointing. But however, lets watch out to see how Manchester City's match between Newcastle plays, because Nico O'Reilly have just scored a goal at 14 minutes into the game.

Chelsea disappointed their fans once again. 2 easy matches in a row:

Chelsea was able to overthrow Aston Villa from its place but they kept missing these opportunities although Aston Villa missed 7 points in the last series of games. Chelsea is disappointing and we cannot count on it on bets.

I'm more curious about the Everton - Manchester United match now! Truthfully I don't trust Carrick a lot in this one either. It's a quite tough one as you know. Everton aren't playing like the last season.

Manchester United has a golden occasion to overtake Chelsea and throw it from the UEFA Champions League spots. I believe United could do it. At the same time, Liverpool can tie in points number with Chelsea making it even worse for them.

I can't tell what is happening in the English Premier league this season especially with big teams now that the tournament is about coming to an end, Last week was arsenal,  this week is Chelsea who knows the team it will be tomorrow or next. In today's game I can't really say what happened to the all dominating Chelsea  team that they could not even secure a win in a easy win game as the one they played today against Burnley. In that game Chelsea dominated the game but where unable to create chances so i will say they need to work on the teams deficiency so it won't repeat itself in there next game.

Funny enough, you have just said the truth, because Real Madrid will find it very difficult to be in the top race in the Premier League with their current performance. But still, Chelsea really disappointed themselves today. I was not also expecting to see such a weak performance from them, because how will they say that in the complete game they were only able to have 2 shots on target? I know they scored early in the game, but it was of no use, as they were not able to add more goals and even ended up collecting a red card. It makes me wonder if it is even worth supporting Chelsea to win a game.

[Catenaccio]

Chelsea was able to overthrow Aston Villa from its place but they kept missing these opportunities although Aston Villa missed 7 points in the last series of games. Chelsea is disappointing and we cannot count on it on bets.

It's another disappointed result for Chelsea but their main concern is not Aston Villa but Manchester United and Liverpool that are competing for a fourth position with Chelsea. Chelsea must finish the season in top four, with at least a fourth position while getting a third position or not, it's not a top priority for Chelsea. If they can finish at a fourth position, it's fine and happy ending for them, while if they continue playing bad like this, they might lose this fourth position to either Manchester United or Liverpool and will not be eligible for UEFA Champions League.

Manchester United has a golden occasion to overtake Chelsea and throw it from the UEFA Champions League spots. I believe United could do it. At the same time, Liverpool can tie in points number with Chelsea making it even worse for them.

Manchester United with Carrick management have an unbelievable wake-up and they have emerged as a big contender for one of position in top four. This surprising draw of Chelsea truly gives another great opportunity for Manchester United to get in top four again by taking over a fourth position directly from Chelsea. While things are not yet worst with Chelsea, as another challenger, Liverpool might win their match and equalize points as same as Chelsea too.

In that game Chelsea dominated the game but where unable to create chances so i will say they need to work on the teams deficiency so it won't repeat itself in there next game.

Please permit me to ask, Is Chelsea really a big team like you see them? Don’t you think that this Chelsea team is the worst I have seen since 2005 till today, when you looks at the team there is no special player or a talisman in that team, there is no leader in that team, is a team filled with Children, kids, and I feel that Cole Palmer is overrated, a player that doesn’t score much open play goals, except for Penalties how are we going to rate him as a good player, Chelsea doesn’t deserve to play in the Champions League this season, and they still don’t deserve to play in the Champions League next season, they are only lucky because most of the other teams aren’t playing very well this season, else you will not see them close to the Top 4, I absolutely don’t think Chelsea is a big team anymore, Considering the way they’re playing and the caliber of players they have available, they can’t even attract big players anymore, when was the last time you saw Chelsea fighting for the Premier League title, I believe that is a very long time, I don’t rate Chelsea anymore because they look awful and terrible to watch, there games are always boring to watch.

[MK-74]

Chelsea were devastated after conceding in stoppage time at home. Burnley found a late equalizer and the match ended 1–1, earning them a valuable point.

The Manchester City vs Newcastle United game is currently 2–1, with more than 10 minutes left to play. Let’s see if City can hold on and secure the win. If they do, they will reduce the gap to Arsenal to just two points.

.

Chelsea has really disappointed their fans today and it is unbelievable for a club that was able to score Burnley at the early minutes with amazing goal, but at the end they could not maintain their early playing momentum. I perceive this match to be rigged because I was not expecting Chelsea to draw the match and they finally spoil so many fans ticket.

[shinratensei_]

City wins Newcastle game. They shorten the gap to Arsenal by only two points remaining. They played so clinical during the first half with O'reilly scored two goals. However, their attack look disjoined during the 2nd half. They might make it 3 or 4 consider they get so many chances to score.
However, it's all gone due to the greediness of their players by not to pass it to their teammates. But yeah, so far so good since they still secure three points.

So this makes it clear if elephant may be fallen again. It's caused by City to have easy fixtures to come against 14th club or below while Arsenal fight strong teams in a row. So they have chance to take the lead in the coming weeks.
I guess the title race is already 50:50 with City's win against Newcastle. Do you agree?

[LUCKMCFLY]

We know that Arsenal have not been in good form for a while now. Their performance has been unstable. It is a pity that Arsenal will still fail to win against a weak team like Wolves. I had bet on Arsenal to win. I am sure many gamblers like me have lost money.
The most embarrassing thing for Arsenal is conceding 2 goals against Wolves. Wolves' attack can be considered as the weakest attack in the Premier League. Arsenal could not resist Wolves' attack, how will they get points in the next two matches against Tottenham and Chelsea?

Arsenal's problem has been their lack of consistency; it's something that always affects them. Now, losing is a serious matter However, I'll say this: they have a team like City breathing down their necks, a team that specializes in taking the top spots from elite teams in the Premier League. So now, if Arsenal wants to keep their position and not lose it, they have to win everything. It's difficult Spurs aren't easy, and Chelsea even less so.

[pawel7777]

An important win by Man City. They beat Newcastle 2-1 thanks to two goals by the left wing Nico O'Reilly, who is proving to be another home-grown star and it looks like he established himself as the first squad player.
This win closes the gap between the City and Arsenal to only 2 points.
Arsenal have been doing phenomenally well in the first half of the season but are showing signs of slowing down. They only won twice in their last 5 league matches. Tomorrow they are playing a London Derby game against Tottenham. On paper, Arsenal is the big favourite, but derby games live by their own rules and anything is possible.

Burnley managed to earn 1 point on Chelsea, which was a big surprise and is a great gift to Man United, who have an opportunity to leave Chelsea 3 points behind in their fight for the 4th place. For that, Man United will have to defeat Everton, which might not be an easy task.

This is where City are dangerous and deadly to oppositions, they can't drop point now because they know they are very close to catching up to Arsenal who misuse their opportunities, is so sad that the fans of Arsenal won't be celebrating anything call EPL title this season again. Newcastle didn't put on a good fight against Manchester City if not they won't have conceded those two early goals and if you see how serious they were in the champions league you would think they are going to hold Manchester City down maybe to a goalless draw in the first half but now take a good look at how terrible they played. For me I felt they would have gotten something in this game since they are already through in the champions league, Newcastle need more to beat Man City.

[barbara44]

To be fair Arsenal has done better than Chelsea, Tottenham, United and many other teams, they are not even the worst top six team let alone others who are not doing that great in the league. People act as if Arsenal spends more, but the reality is that if you look at the NET transfer spending, Arsenal in the past 5 years isn't really that high, and others have spent more and still did worse than Arsenal.

But they seriously need to get the last point in there to get that title because being this close and failing is even worse than what Untied is going through. Untied at least knows they suck, but Arsenal is so close on winning and yet keeps on losing which makes them hopeful and then all of that hope ends up with nothing.

Chelsea don't have good players these current players are overrated. They wouldn't be able to win matches because they don't have quality players. They are even trying to win against big teams even though I wasn't impressed with this match I can't rate them very poor. Even arsenal couldn't beat wolves so I won't crucify chelsea for drawing 1-1 against bunley.
Arsenal and Chelsea match would be interesting to watch, considering how arsenal has played recently the match would likely end in a draw.
