⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

I believe that Tottenham shouldn't be underestimated in European competitions because they aren't the same Tottenham as in the Premier League. Look at their Champions League campaign: they drew against Bodo and then beat Dortmund. Last season they weren't doing well in the Premier League either, and incredibly, they won the Europa League. If they eliminate Atletico Madrid and are lucky enough to face a weak opponent next time, then these guys could reach the final or even win the title.

I admire your confidence and hope in Tottenham but I'm sorry to call your attention to reality. This is not a E-football or a fiction story, it's a champions league and not Europa league where they met average team from average leagues last season. They played the Europa league final against a struggling Manchester United last season and luckily, they won it. Tottenham have not gotten any better than last season. In fact, I can say they're now worse than they were last season judging from their performance. To cut the long story short, their champions league journey is about to end with Athletico Madrid as opponent. This is football where nothing is impossible but Tottenham chance to win against Athletico Madrid is very minimal considering their recent form.

Arsenal have been impressive this season because you may already be aware that Arsenal secured victory against Mansfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup, so we are confident that this team's positive attitude will continue in the upcoming games, which could include the Super Sixteen matches of the Champions League. Arsenal played a tight game against Mansfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and I believe they have improved further ahead of their UCL round of 16 clash with Bayer Leverkusen even we think at the moment that the PL giants will play against the German club with extreme enthusiasm in the upcoming UCL away game.

Arsenal is not only amongst the super sixteen but Arsenal are arguably top three team in England and they should be beating bayer Leverkusen.
Arsenal will have a good run in the champions league till they reach the semifinals and could face Barcelona which I think it’s most likely, and if that doesn’t happen it is either Newcastle or Athletico Madrid.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mikel arteta is sacked right away, because he has been supported at the club very well, so this season is his final season of grace, he must deliver the expected result if he doesn't want to lose his job at the end of the season.

Even if Arsenal lose the league and champions league, I don’t think Arteta should be sacked. He has been consistent and done well getting the club this far. I know it’s frustrating finishing second place four times in a row and some fans fancy Enrique managing Arsenal but Arteta has just been unlucky with signings. Gyokeres for example was supposed to be the striker with a killer instinct that will win Arsenal the trophy but what did we get?

While I do agree with you, and I think the only reason why Arsenal is not out of top four is the fact that Arteta is doing a great job, and any other coach in the past 4 years, not only they would not be second place, but they would be out of top four, so he may miss a title but he at least stays better than they should be.

But that doesn't change the fact that if he does end up losing here again, after leading the league for months, I am sure it will just not end well for him.

Bayer Leverkusen are not even among the top five teams in their domestic league. They haven't play against a strong opponent in the champions league I guess they may not be able to withstand arsenal. Bayer Leverkusen are not in form this season and the only premier league they defeated was manchester city and they couldn't defeat newcastle united at their home. I think arsenal would likely defeat them

And the one thing he should understand is when the UEFA champions league gets to this point there are no weak teams like every other team left are absolutely the best out of the rest for this season so if he think Tottenham can have same miracle as of last season in the Europa league then he must be mistaking, just like you've just said looking at Tottenham of last season and that of this season i can confidently say that the Tottenham of last season is quite better than the one of this season and the bitter truth is they can never go through Atletico Madrid fact.

First I want you to understand that Tottenham winning the uefa Europa league wasn't by luck as you are saying, it's deserving, so it's wrong to be here trying to discredit their effort, just because they are going through a rough path presently.

Secondly, their game against atletico madrid is an open game that can go either side because Tottenham has been doing more better in the uefa champions league than in the league, so judging them with their league form is wrong, and another thing is that atletico madrid is not that too superior to Tottenham even upon their bad domestic form, so anything can happen, that's why atletico madrid can't afford to look down on Tottenham in this game.

I don't certain Mikel Arteta will be sacked. Mikel Arteta has brought about significant changes at Arsenal and laid a great foundation by reviving a long-lost Arsenal philosophy. While Arteta hasn't won a major trophy yet, he has brought Arsenal to a higher level of play. This season, Arteta is likely to end Arsenal's title drought, as Arsenal currently lead the table by seven points over Manchester City. With eight matches remaining, I'm confident Arsenal will win all of them, and at least six more wins are enough to secure the Premier League title.

Arsenal and pin performing excellently which is the reason why a lot of people have favored them against Bayer Leverkusen, arsenal have the capacity to contain Leverkusen because they have a very good to record and I think they are capable of maintaining that record. Currently if you check leverkuses last five matches, they are able to secure one Victory, which  shows that Arsenal have chance of winning this match.

Mikel Arteta have come a very long way and I wish him well to succeed this season because he has done a great job with Arsenal, his impact as improved Arsenal positively which make a lot of people to notice arsenal for the past few seasons.

What we are seeing right now is super crazy with some teams from Premier League, look at Totenham for example they are in deep shit only one point away from relegation but they are also alive on FA cup and they are playing Champions League..... it makes 0 sense at all.

Manchester United was a total disaster just a few rounds back and now they are fighting for podium positions..... another no sense. And the list can go on.

Matchweek 30 is in only a distance of a few days...

What do you think about the matches of the teams in the title race? Honestly I don't doubt Arsenal against Everton at home. Even though I didn't like their effort against Brighton at all I still don't expect a surprising result at Emirates.

For Manchester City I can't be sure of anything. They just lost points against Forest at Etihad! West Ham are fighting out of their way of relegation zone now. So this could be another challenging match...

I really like your faith on Tottenham,  but I am sorry to disappoint you, Tottenham can nit win the champions league and I don't even seeing them winning Atletico Madrid. Tottenham has been very poor this season and this is the champions league for crying out loud,  you are playing against the best, so I don't see a way that Tottenham will get to the final not to talk of winning it. Anyways it's okay to dream, but I don't think this your dream will come true.

It is not possible to say whether Tottenham will win or have a chance to go to the final. But I think Tottenham will play well against Liverpool and they will win the match. If they win, then maybe they will have a chance to go to the final. Yes, it is true that Tottenham has played very badly this season. If they had played well from the beginning, then they would have had a chance to go to the final. But it would not be wrong to hope that they will play well in the next match. Because they are trying to improve their standard of play from the previous one.

I disagree that it would be anything close. If Atletico Madrid doesn't win this game with big margins, that would be shame for them. I understand that Tottenham managed to come thus far, so that makes them look like they are half decent, but just look at them overall all season long. They had so many manager changes and they have sucked so much all season long, which is why I think it's clear that we are talking about a team that should be terrible in these next two games.

ATM should be getitng a very easy win. I also admire Simeone, and there are talks about him going to Inter starting next season, although Chivu is doing a fine job there to be fair. If that does happen, I wish ATM to finish very well this season with him for a good farewell.

We are going to find out about that today. Yes, in recent games in the Champions League, Tottenham have been better. Surprsingly they finished top 8 in the league stage of the Champions League. However, I wont judge their performance against Atletico Madrid because they are of equal strength. There is nothing too special about Atletico Madrid, so yeah, Tottenham have a high chance of winning this game.

What do you think about the matches of the teams in the title race? Honestly I don't doubt Arsenal against Everton at home. Even though I didn't like their effort against Brighton at all I still don't expect a surprising result at Emirates.

For Manchester City I can't be sure of anything. They just lost points against Forest at Etihad! West Ham are fighting out of their way of relegation zone now. So this could be another challenging match...

I am not worried about Arsenal on this one because Arsenal is not to be toy with at home match mostly now they are desperate of point so Everton don't stand a chance.

And for Manchester city it won't be that easy for them because Westham need this point as much as Manchester city may need it so i will say it is a tough match for them both but i will still bet on Manchester city to win because i believe they are the favorite in that match.

Then another one is Manchester united vs Aston villa i am thinking maybe Aston villa might look because Newcastle won Manchester united and play with such confidence i just hope Manchester united win because this is a do or die affair match a battle for top three.

One of the two teams am afraid of in this Premier League Is Everton and Leeds, just because of how unpredictable they are, I will not be surprised if Arsenal ends up drawing the match or magically lose to Everton. If Arsenal are going to win, it won't be with a big goal advantage and what would greatly help Arsenal Is if they get the first goal lead, then they can park the bus.

I also think Arsenal has a good chance in this game. Even when they don't play so well, at home they usually get the result, so against Everton I still see them as favorites.

City, on the other hand, is really harder to predict. Drawing with Nottingham Forest at home showed that they can drop points when you least expect it.

And West Ham, fighting to get out of the relegation zone, usually plays with more intensity. It could end up being a much more complicated game for City than it seems.

This round could end up being very important in the title race. If Arsenal wins and City stumbles again, the pressure increases considerably.

[Abbatty]

Another disappointing result for Liverpool as they have still fail to beat galatasaray at their home again, it just so unbelievable how galatasaray have manage not to lose a game to Liverpool at home ever. For me the loss today is on the Liverpool players and not the manager. They created so much chance today they I can’t believe they couldn’t convert at least just one.

The tie is far from over and maybe at Anfield Liverpool will be Able to comeback from this loss, it a narrow loss and I feel if they really put themselves together they can get back in this tie and even get a winner at Anfield.

I’m really pained though because I gambled on 3 or more Goals to be scored and after that first half goal I was thinking there would be more goals in the second half but instead it ended in a 1-0 win.

It's not going to be an easy week again, Manchester city Vs Westham is going to be a tough one as it will be a fight between two extremely desperate teams. Manchester city is in serious need to close up the gap between them and arsenal while Westham is in a race to escape the relegation zone. Nottingham forest too is on the race to escape the relegation zone and would pose a serious threat to Fulham. Another tough game will be Manchester United Vs Aston villa, the winner sits comfortably at the third place. Manchester United lost their chances of maintaining the lead on the third place after loosing to Newcastle united. Arsenal has a higher chances of winning their game but I hope their today's game wouldn't affect their game against Everton. Arsenal has a very crucial game today against Bayern Leverkusen and even though arsenal has received lower odds across bet apps, it is still possible for Bayern Leverkusen to pull up a surprise and pick them out of the champions League. Arsenal needs the titles so much this season for their fans who are almost loosing patience on the team.

Arsenal will surely win against Everton at home. One reason is their impressive home record this season, having lost only once in 13 home matches. Furthermore, Arsenal will be looking to secure three points against Everton to further widen their lead over Manchester City, especially as the Premier League season draws to a close with eight matches remaining, and they don't want to lose the title again like they did in previous seasons.
