⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Razmirraz]

Man City know the title is in the Gunners hands. Manchester City pray Arsenal will lose points because the title is out of their hands. The Gunners are leading by 9 points. If Man City win in the Etihad it add 3 to Mn City and will reduce the Gunners lead to 6.

Just as you said, Arsenal will also keep on doing everything possible to see that they keep giving more gaps on the table, Arsenal have been dominating from the beginning of the season till now, 9 points is not small Manchester city is not that very great in the premier league this season, Arsenal will do everything to see that they maintain this consistency till ending of the season.

Arsenal didn’t show any sign of weakness that they will lead to living this title to another club, they will keep pushing till ending of the season.

Arsenal must be extra careful in the remaining 7 matches, even though they are currently 9 points ahead of Manchester City, but there is still a possibility that number will be reduced to 6 because Man City still has one match more than Arsenal. Arsenal will continue to strive to maintain their dominance as leaders of the standings throughout this season, they also just showed their best performance when they managed to beat Sporting CP in the UCL. The match against Man City at the Etihad Stadium on April 19th will also be a deciding factor for Arsenal. If they can beat Man City or at least draw the match, then continue with consecutive wins in the next few matches, then the EPL trophy will be theirs this season. Now is a crucial time for Arsenal, but the FA Cup exit gives them a bit of a break in the schedule, I see Arsenal still on a positive track, Arteta will also try to win the two trophies that are still winnable this season, but if they are unlucky, winning one of them will be enough for Arsenal.

Arsenal haven't had that many league games in a long long time, which is why people are doubtful about them, but they are forgetting that the yare doing amazing at the league, even in recent form. The last league game they had was Everton and that was on 14th of march, we are nearly a month away from that, it will be nearly a month by the time they play their next league game, which is weird but that's how packed English teams schedule is.

In the end, they did play at Leverkusen, won that, and then lost efl and fa cup that's true, but beat Lisbon, all during this period. The cups were of course good if they could win, but not really that important, league and ucl are the only important ones and they are winning that so far.

I wouldn't be blaming those that are playing down the chances of arsenal this season because they have proven to be unreliable in previous seasons, during the defining moment of the season like now, and with what we have seen from them in recent games, those that feels that arsenal are still going to bottled it are not wrong because they are not that convincing, added with their normal bottling harbit of previous seasons, so you can't blame us.
So until arsenal wins this year English premier league title and change the narrative me and most football fans have towards them, we are not going to see them different from previous seasons, so they have to win the league title first, so that we can eat our words.

The truth is even arsenal fans still have that doubt in them if they are going to win the league to or not, and to be honest you can’t blame them because they have seen so much of it in the past. That defining time of the seasons have come again and now let see if the gunners can take it to the finish time this time around. So far they have been very brilliant in the league, they have been the best team for me but these last few games will prove if they are the best all season.

They are favorites to win the league, I mean arsenal. They are currently 9 points clear, though Manchester city have a game in hand which if they win it will be down to 6 points. I know one thing for sure, it will be a very dramatic end of the season so let expect the unexpected.

They have come through good performances from the beginning to the present stage so I have no doubts about their performance now. At the moment every team is approaching the end of the season so since Arsenal is ahead of other teams with good points then they definitely cannot get away from winning the Premier League title by performing badly in the last few matches. In the upcoming matches in the Premier League they will have to maintain consistent performance and try not to drop points in any match. If the winning streak continues then maybe Arsenal will win the Premier League title this season.

Carrick is closing in for a new contract with Manchester United day by day... They are the 3rd currently you know and have a good advantage against the team out of top 4 as well!

This week they are facing Leeds at Old Trafford. That looks like a good opportunity to start winning again after the draw they got the last time.

Leeds are 4 points above relegation zone but I can't say they are fully safe. Therefore Carrick had better be careful against them. 

[Zackz5000]

Another leaver for Liverpool is Andy Robertson.



Salah is also leaving by the end of the season as you already know. Who knows maybe van Dijk might also leave as I don't find him good enough anymore either.  

Liverpool will just need to go for a strong renovation to rise again. But that rise won't happen with Slot I believe. He needs to leave and I'm sure most of Liverpool fans also want the same thing.

Why are they all leaving is it because Liverpool didn't perform well this season? Definitely Slot will be leaving at the end of season because he never did well, the team only won last season tittle from what Klopp built. Liverpool will have to improve next season and also try to qualify for next season UEFA champions league before they can get some good players to replace the players that are leaving and also add more to strengthen the team.

Manchester united management should sign Carrick to a new contract. Manchester united have changed managers several times in the past few seasons. And Carrick has been the most successful of them so far. This season too, manchester united spent a lot of money to build a squad. But Amorim failed with this squad. With the help of carrick, United are performing well and they are able to play well consistently. Qualifying for the Champions League is not a difficult  task for united now. Given  enough time and opportunity, carrick might be able to build this team into a title-winning team.

Liverpool legends are leaving the club and it will remain VVD and Alison Becker who are one of the prime Liverpool, after Salah announced his departure from the club in the end of the season Andy Robertson will also leave the club at the end of the season, Liverpool is going to rebuild the team because they can never compete when they don’t have the same qualities players they have before, the duo of Robertson and Trent are one of the best duo in the Premier League, they have provided more assists than some players in the Premier league which make them one of the best.

Robertson will remain legend of the club forever and leaving Liverpool is the best option because Arne slot don’t want to give him much time to play and World Cup is approaching that every player will want to play to represent their country, VVD and Alison will be the one to leave next season because if we look at those two performances they are not in their best anymore and the club will like to bring new players and goalkeeper who are still young and can help the team.

What Carrick has done with Manchester United is simply exceptional, it would be appropriate to renew his contract and give him the opportunity to work peacefully next season.
I think they have all the cards on the table to get off to a great start, and time to focus on tactics, training, and strategies.
They made great strides, a crazy comeback, personally I would give the opportunity.

But many reports say that there are several coaches who will be the choice of the management regarding who will be the coach of Man United to navigate the next season but the most disappointed felt by Man United supporters is in the names of their candidate coaches next season without Carrick's name even though currently Carrick is the one who revived the spirit of Man United players so that the current position in the EPL competition standings is in 2nd place meaning that what we need to convey is that it is still very worthy if Carrick is given the trust to coach Man United next season because what Carrick did while being an alternative coach many gave support to Carrick because he was able to bring Man United's performance back to compete to win a ticket to compete in the UCL next season and that was almost an extraordinary achievement done by Man United legend Michael Carrick.

Right now, it's not easy for Manchester City to secure the title because now it's not all in their hands. Here they also need good help from Gunners, who are currently leading by 9 points. The 19th of April big game is going to be played at The Etihad this is also important for both clubs. Arsenal is doing an impressive job, even though they lost a few games, but still their grip is strong on the title and their coming games.

Manchester City has a good chance of winning the FA Cup, and staying second in the Premier League could also be beneficial for them. Arsenal is always having pressure in the last games, but they have enough difference this will give them an advantage in coming matches.

Man City know the title is in the Gunners hands. Manchester City pray Arsenal will lose points because the title is out of their hands. The Gunners are leading by 9 points. If Man City win in the Etihad it add 3 to Mn City and will reduce the Gunners lead to 6.

The league title can only be in the Gunners hands when they finally win it but as Manchester City still have a chance to win the league title, the title is not in the Gunners hands even if they are leading Manchester City with 9 points because they can bottle the league even with their 9 points lead. I only believe that Arsenal are leading Manchester City with 6 points because of Manchester City outstanding match which they will never lose. Manchester City and Arsenal second leg in the premier league is the decider of this season premier league champions, and any team that won the match could end up as this season premier league champions.

We can say that the following week's match will be a championship game for Arsenal. Because they will be going to Manchester City away, and if they win there, we will see that they will most likely be the champions this year. So I expect them to win against Bournemouth this week. Then, next week, they will want to at least get a draw away at Manchester City. This draw will work in their favor because Manchester City has no choice but to win.

My best advice for Mikel Arteta is to forfeit one of the trophy out of the two because he might end up not winning anyone if he continue to chase the two, like winning any of those trophy is actually important for Arsenal because it's really been a while since they won any of those, and truly the match against Manchester city will definitely decide the winner at the end of the game, to me i see that match as the English premier league final and if Mikel Arteta is to win the league he should at least get a draw out of that game else he will regret it.

[IceLincoln]

So you see that City would have no choice; they should pray for two things: Arsenal to drop points and for them to continue winning their games.

Indeed, those are the only two things Man City can do to win the Premier League title, although in reality it is unlikely, especially with seven Premier League matches remaining. Perhaps Man City can win the remaining matches, but expecting Arsenal to lose, say, five matches seems highly unlikely considering Arsenal's consistent performance. It's better for Man City not to have too much hope of winning the Premier League title this season, but rather Man City should focus on themselves, evaluating themselves in preparation for next season so they can win the Premier League title because this season the Premier League title is almost certain to be Arsenal's.

The only thing Arsenal has hope of winning this season is the League, even though Manchester City will try to give them a chase but it’s not looking very likely they would succeed cos Arsenal cannot lose out on all their remaining games, it’ll be a big disgrace and disappointment if they lose out on the title.
Manchester City is not even giving me the vibe that they would win all their remaining games, somewhere along the line they are going to drop points.

I think it's natural that Andy Robertson left Liverpool., as he hasn't been Arne Slot's first choice and has rarely played. Similar to Mo Salah's situation, Andy Robertson felt his presence was no longer needed, so he decided to leave Liverpool to seek new challenges in his career. Van Dijk likely won't leave Liverpool, as he's the team captain and his role is still highly needed.

Liverpool really needs to make a major overhaul. One way to do this is by firing Arne Slot, bringing in a more experienced coach, and releasing several underperforming players.

It is nothing similar to Mo Salah situation, Salah was given many opportunities to start at every game, while Robertson didn't get same privilege, Salah played important matches in this season, with many goal opportunities and he missed many of them, including penalties.

What i see common between the two players is seeing that age is catching up, they are already above 30 years, and younger and stronger talented should be giving the opportunity, as the Premier League concentrates in agility in every game, the older the player, the lower his contribution to the team. I think Liverpool will give him extra season to see what he can do.

Carrick is closing in for a new contract with Manchester United day by day... They are the 3rd currently you know and have a good advantage against the team out of top 4 as well!

This week they are facing Leeds at Old Trafford. That looks like a good opportunity to start winning again after the draw they got the last time.

Leeds are 4 points above relegation zone but I can't say they are fully safe. Therefore Carrick had better be careful against them. 

All Manchester United needs right now to seal the Champions League position should be winning three more games out of the four left to be played and with Carrick, we seem certain we could pull that off 

It should be 3 to 4 goals scored at Old Trafford and I'm not kidding, we can not lose or draw after going 24 days without a single game played. Good news is, Lisandro Martinez and Partick Dorgu are back for Manchester United. I'm confident, we should get a win against Leeds United one of our greatest rivals.

[Nightwatchmare]

We can say that the following week's match will be a championship game for Arsenal. Because they will be going to Manchester City away, and if they win there, we will see that they will most likely be the champions this year. So I expect them to win against Bournemouth this week. Then, next week, they will want to at least get a draw away at Manchester City. This draw will work in their favor because Manchester City has no choice but to win.

I agree, the following week's match will be a championship game for Arsenal. Yes if Arsenal goes to Manchester City and win, they will mostly be the champions this year so they should not give Manchester City a chance to win them. This season, Arsenal has shown good performance at home, it was only Manchester United that won them at Emirates Stadium this season. So concerning Arsenal hosting Bournemouth tomorrow at Emirates Stadium, they will beat Bournemouth since they are at home.

[Solodoski]

The truth is even arsenal fans still have that doubt in them if they are going to win the league to or not, and to be honest you can’t blame them because they have seen so much of it in the past. That defining time of the seasons have come again and now let see if the gunners can take it to the finish time this time around. So far they have been very brilliant in the league, they have been the best team for me but these last few games will prove if they are the best all season.

They are favorites to win the league, I mean arsenal. They are currently 9 points clear, though Manchester city have a game in hand which if they win it will be down to 6 points. I know one thing for sure, it will be a very dramatic end of the season so let expect the unexpected.

That's the realty. This is the period arsenal fans are shaky, it is also affecting the players because this has been fate for four consecutive season. If care is not taken arsenal is not going to win the league unless there is a shift in mentality. Arsenal won Sporting Cp after losing two games in a row for the first time this season. Maybe the last win will give them more confidence coming into the game against Bournemouth. Eventually arsenal don't have to win all the game they have to win the league, they only have to win few matches to lift the trophy.
