⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[SmartCharpa]

I think Arteta doesn't have any reliable excuse to give not winning the EPL title this season and neither are his supporters, except they're blind supporters who can't read the room for themselves about all the available resource that was given to Arteta to ensure he succeed this season in winning a major trophy. His sack would be the next call from fans should he fail to outsmart Guardiola this time, and I even hear rumors of his replacement being Cesc Fabregas of Como if he bottles the league this time again, but I completely doubt Fabregas would be leaving Como for Arsenal for now.

To be honest, Arteta should be sack if he fail to win the Premier League this season again, because I don’t see the point if gathering these players without winning a trophy each season. I keep on wondering if Arteta is not motivating his players enough to fight for trophies for the rest of the season, if they start the season well, like they will win every trophy, they will start to bottle them one by one, after they bottled the league trophies, the next will be the champions league and the Premier League.

The management provide what he needs to fight for every trophy this season, if someone can tell me that Arsenal would struggle like this season, I would disagree because they signed Eze, Gyokeres and other key players to strengthen their defense, the best team in the world cannot prevent a weak team from scoring goal, it would be a shame if Guardiola win the trophy.

The night seems to be a heck of a night for the Red devils but the game is still very much fresh so lets just wait and see what might become the outcome of the game, as i strongly believe Manchester united cant lose this game and they truly cant afford to lose or draw the game as it will have a great effect on them based on whom they are playing this weekend, if they should by chance lose this match i think Chelsea will gain more confidence to play them comes this weekend and if care is not taken they might as well lose to Chelsea and their chance of qualifying top four will be in doubt, so they should better come back to win the game.

It seems you aren't watching the Manchester United Vs Leeds match that's why it was easy for you to say that the match is still fresh and Manchester United can't afford to lose the match. Well you are right that Manchester United can't afford to lose this match but with the way Manchester United players are rushing the match and making wrong passes I don't think Manchester United will even get a draw from Leeds this night. It's a shame that Manchester United are losing to Leeds even after having enough rest. I am disappointed with Manchester United's performance against Leeds this night.

I was not surprised that Chelsea lost to Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, because I knew that they can't stand Manchester City right now and Manchester city are in a better form. The only surprise was that Manchester city did not score more than 3 goal. Manchester City are in the title race and Arsenal already lost, so they know they need to beat Chelsea to close the gap. Chelsea are not in a good form right now and I don't even think they will get a champions league spot at the end of the season.

If you say this about Chelsea,  then you really do not know them completely. Chelsea is one team that always frustrate big teams especially when not expected. Chelsea can lose to a small team like Burnley but win a big team like Manchester City the following match just to prove a point that they are never a push over. I knew that Chelsea may not win that match but I never ignored the possibility of them winning thatch. I was even thinking that the first half goalless was a sign that Chelsea was going to hold them to highest a draw. Unfortunately,  Manchester City knew how to many the game to get maximum point.

Manchester United are not finding the right atmosphere against Leeds as we can see that they were completely inconsistent in the first half but a goal by Casemiro in the second half saved the team's morale a bit. At this stage you are right that Manchester United are in too much of a hurry and they are making the wrong passes, maybe if they play like this they can even draw in the round of 32. Leeds United, as the visiting team, unexpectedly reign supreme against home team Manchester United. Indeed with Leeds in 15th place, I believed that Man United would not play with too much pressure in this match and that they would keep third place in the points table intact but Leeds have started well tonight, so if United draw in this match, it will create some space for Aston Villa to advance.

Atleast the Man United fan base can take a rest, after waiting for over 20 days just for them to get pissed on by Leeds, well am not too shocked because Leeds can be very unpredictable, Man United should really find a way to renew Casemiro's contract because he has been a very exceptional player for the red devil's team. With this lose, Aston Villa has drawed points with Man United and it will get ever hard for Tottenham to bounce back from the relegation spot

Honestly Manchester United fans didn’t saw this coming, they forgot to realize that Leeds are in a good form right now especially after their fa cup quarter final win against west ham United. It’s a big win for Leeds tonight as the game is already ended full time 1:2 in favour of Leeds United the away team. It’s a big blow for Manchester United in their quest for a top 4 finish and qualifying for the Champions League next season. They are lucky that their other rivals team fighting for the same spot isn’t consistent to win their matches as Aston villa dropped a point during the weekend and Chelsea also lost at away against man city.

I think Arteta doesn't have any reliable excuse to give not winning the EPL title this season and neither are his supporters, except they're blind supporters who can't read the room for themselves about all the available resource that was given to Arteta to ensure he succeed this season in winning a major trophy. His sack would be the next call from fans should he fail to outsmart Guardiola this time, and I even hear rumors of his replacement being Cesc Fabregas of Como if he bottles the league this time again, but I completely doubt Fabregas would be leaving Como for Arsenal for now.

To be honest, Arteta should be sack if he fail to win the Premier League this season again, because I don’t see the point if gathering these players without winning a trophy each season. I keep on wondering if Arteta is not motivating his players enough to fight for trophies for the rest of the season, if they start the season well, like they will win every trophy, they will start to bottle them one by one, after they bottled the league trophies, the next will be the champions league and the Premier League.

The management provide what he needs to fight for every trophy this season, if someone can tell me that Arsenal would struggle like this season, I would disagree because they signed Eze, Gyokeres and other key players to strengthen their defense, the best team in the world cannot prevent a weak team from scoring goal, it would be a shame if Guardiola win the trophy.

The problem is repeated again where Arsenal very rarely sack the coach even if they don't get any results. We can even see that in the previous era Arsenal always stayed with Wenger and that could happen with Arteta.

But indeed it could be another case when Arteta was fired because if the problem deserves it or not when he fails to return for the umpteenth time by giving trophies to other clubs after always dominating in the standings from the start it is clearly very appropriate especially he has been funded royally by the club to shop for players as desired.
We will wait for this whether in the end they will still have the championship position or just like before they are happy to give it to other clubs and it could be that the match in the big match next week will be the answer.

I won't really blame them if they don't sack Arteta if he manage to bottle the league again and finishes in the second place because Arteta has been a very good coach, one that Arsenal hasn't have in a very long time, plus if they eventually sack Arteta, what are the chances of them getting a better coach and let's not forget that Totenham has gone through 3 coaches in just a space of one season. Those are the technicalities the Arsenal project will be looking before making those massive decisions.

[Stable090]

To be honest, Arteta should be sack if he fail to win the Premier League this season again, because I don’t see the point if gathering these players without winning a trophy each season.

Let’s see if Arteta will be able to win the premier league title this season, and if by the end of the season they didn’t win the premier league title, let’s see what the management is going to do. Arteta have been in Arsenal for years, and they haven’t been able to win the premier league title, they are always close to winning it, but at the end they do end up losing, if the same thing happens this season, they should just let him go because Arsenal are just suppose to win the premier league title this season.

I keep on wondering if Arteta is not motivating his players enough to fight for trophies for the rest of the season,

They are always starting well, but ending the season poorly. The same thing is happening this season already, they started well, but there is already decline in Arsenal performance right now, and they going to be losing matches which they are not suppose to lose.

[Jegileman]

The case of Arsenal is a very delicate one and I think they’re most probably trying to everything within their capacity to make sure that they don’t lose this title race. Their match against Manchester City is a decider match and I think that they’ll definitely put in their best fight and efforts to make sure that they triumph in this match.

Arsenal always have their chances every season but before the end of the season, they’ll feel relaxed always fail to win the title and lose it out to Manchester City. They’re not consistent and it’s not good for them as a team that really wants to win the trophy which they’ve worked so hard for. It’ll indeed be shame if they bottle this league and Manchester City wins it. Even the coach will be at risk of losing his job if they fail to win the premier league.

Nothing seems to work for Manchester United against Leeds at Old Trafford. Even when Casemiro scored for Manchester United, Manchester United didn't play as people who want to level up with Leeds and earn a point in the match. I was expecting Manchester United to calm the ball so that they could fully control the match and create good chances for goals but they choose to play fast football which didn't favor them rather it made them to lose to Leeds. Leeds win against Manchester United has help with them stay six points above the relegation zone.

It's going to be a real hard one for Arsenal to win against Man City is this next Premier League fixture as Arsenal will be coming from a very tight Champions League game, the good thing about the Match is that they are playing it at home so there won't be unnecessary fatigue from traveling.

It's going to be a big shame as you said if Arsenal ends of losing this race to Man City after signing the best players one can mention in that transfer market, they signed a whole Gyokeres after that drama and even Spains top midfielder in Zubimendi. To whom much is given, much is deserved so the Arsenal fans and boards deserve this tittle.

If there is still chance I think they should do it for him because his contract deserves to be renewed because of his effort in the United team now they are still facing consistency issues and finding all means to get back on track. In today's game he was among the exceptional player and was the reason the one man difference was not noticeable in the game. Although I will say the United team needs the introduction of young talented blood in the midfield so the fresh blood will fit in before casemiro thinks of leaving

You didn’t just say that, lol…

They were most certainly pissed on and at the Old Trafford at that. We didn’t see this coming and Leeds delivered a good performance to match it. Else, how would you explain Manchester United loosing by 2 goals before the end of half time. They were lucky to get a goal back, given how Casimero always tries to find his away in a good position to get goals in times like this. It’s a week when some of the leagues favorites are loosing though, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and now Manchester United. Only Manchester City have got some consistency.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Man UTD vs Leed UTD is another game I expect a win for Manchester United because they that's the Red Devils need to avoid Aston Villa base on point, currently both teams have 55th and UTD will never let this game end without them getting all 3pt. It doesn't matter if Leeds UTD are one of the stubborn side but a win must be for Manchester United and if Leeds win it still makes no change because they'll still be at that place on the EPL table, 15th so what's the point in winning but yet again they have to do their best to see if something will come out in this encounter at Old Trafford...what are you predictions because I tell you, the game will be very intense. This is a team that did Man UTD dirty while they were still having Ruben Amorim as boss, even though the game ended in a 1-1 draw, the outcome was what led Amorim to flare in outburst and subsequently lose his job so can Carrick change that or Leeds will yet again proof to be stubborn?.

With Manchester United current form, we don’t need to doubt whether they will be able to win the game or not, because they are far better than Leeds. The highest thing Leeds can do is to score a goal, but I don’t think they can stop Manchester United from winning this game.It is not a lie that Leeds have been very stubborn recently, but their stubbornness may not work for them today because Manchester United will still be the host of the game, and with that, they may even appear stronger.

But let see what is going to happen at the end of the day. All I can say is that Manchester United is the favorite team to win this match tonight because their performances recently have been very convincing.Again, Manchester United will want to end the season well, and they always finish strongly. So, Manchester United will be watching their back and will not want to mess up any match again.

The form they are now is the same reason I saw them as winner in this game but to our greatest surprise Leeds calmed 4pt from Man UTD home and away this season, they drew 1-1 in the first leg and that was the last game Amorim managed before he was fired. This i
was one hell of a match, very interesting game even better than the game we all saw between the Blues vs the Citizens. Well the point gap still doesn't change anything in the top 4, for Aston Villa and Manchester United they both have 55pt and we could see a change in the top 4 from next week if Manchester United lose to Chelsea or draw and Aston Villa win their next game against Sunderland but on second thought, Aston Villa are still going to be stressed after playing their game against Bologna, a very important game that they can't afford to lose so the whole thing is on them and that number 4 position on the EPL table any team that is there currently is not that safe so everyone is fighting to shift a bit to avoid being dropped out...what else is there to say other than congratulations to Leeds UTD.

[Miles2006]

The night seems to be a heck of a night for the Red devils but the game is still very much fresh so lets just wait and see what might become the outcome of the game, as i strongly believe Manchester united cant lose this game and they truly cant afford to lose or draw the game as it will have a great effect on them based on whom they are playing this weekend, if they should by chance lose this match i think Chelsea will gain more confidence to play them comes this weekend and if care is not taken they might as well lose to Chelsea and their chance of qualifying top four will be in doubt, so they should better come back to win the game.

Manchester United already loss to Leeds, after viewing Manchester United in the past couple of months I can boldly predict United winning against Leeds but, things turned out differently. Still wondering why Manchester United played with a whole form of different energy today yet couldn’t earn a win, Manchester United was on the safer side though they handled things differently reason why they were unable to defeat Leeds well, this is not the present United we want to see rather the club should sit up.

[Iamgoat]

It is actually looking like Chelsea won't be able to qualify for champions league next season because the result yesterday was very bad for them because the least I was expecting from yesterday was a draw but instead they gave Manchester city the whole 3 points giving Manchester city hope in the premier league title this season. The way Manchester city played Chelsea in the second half I was moved to say they have gotten back to there feet like 90 percent because the way they played yesterday was impressive.

Chelsea has obviously lost their grip at this point in time considering how poor and inconsistent they’ve become as a club. Aside from their recent win against Port Vale which was 7 - 0, the rest were lost games. They lost against PSG in the first leg and another lost game against them in second leg. Lost game against Newcastle in EPL and another lost game against and their last game against Manchester City which is also a lost game. This is why you can comfortably call them serial losers this season and I am going to share the blame on all the players and the managements. It is already looking on them like they won’t qualify for the next season’s Champions League.

[KingsDen]

I was only able to watch the first half of the Manchester United match against Leeds United because of the obvious mistake that Michael Carrick made in his starting 11. When I saw that he gambled his starting 11, I immediately told people around me that Manchester United is not going to survive the match.

I don't know if Michael Carrick was actually called by the Leeds United management to favor them to escape for relegation, which is the reason he drought Dalot in the absence of Maguire and started Amad that doesn't bully defence and doesn't have the strength to retract to help defence. How about the absence of Maino in the midfield and started of Sesko. Everything doesn't feel fine.

I told them that Manchester United would likely win the match or at least draw if they are able to score just one goal in the first half despite being led by Leeds United with two goals. I knew that Carrick would like to correct his errors in the second half. But Manchester United inability to score in the first half made me know that it will be difficult to win the match in the second half. Not until they had their main defender sent off.

But the most interesting thing about the match for me is Bruno assisting again.

Manchester United did not lose their third position after this defeat but with 55 points now and Aston Villa (55 points), Liverpool (52 points), Manchester United might fall to a fifth position too. Fortunately for them, Chelsea have terrible form recently and have only 48 points so they are not likely be able to challenge Manchester United for any position in top five.

No risk of falling out of top five while Premier League has good potential of finishing this season well and get 5 spots for Champions League next season, it is helpful for Manchester United return to Champions League after several seasons without participation there.

But the most interesting thing about the match for me is Bruno assisting again.

Bruno shows his quality again but generally Manchester United have depended on Bruno for years even in his first half of season since a winter transfer to the club. I remember that Manchester United got him in a winter transfer season and he quickly shown his impacts on the club. Over latest seasons, he has carried a lot of burden, expectation and pressure on his shoulders and feet, but he is no long in his prime with higher age season by season.

The result wasn’t all that surprising given Manchester United’s loss. In their previous match Manchester United could only manage a draw against Leeds in the 20th round of this season’s Premier League. At that time Manchester United dominated possession overall. And in last night’s match Manchester United also managed to dominate possession. But Leeds remains a tough opponent for Manchester United as they scored the opening goal in last night’s match just like in the previous one. And Leeds looked so strong despite not controlling possession by managing to score two goals in the first half. Manchester United managed to create a goal through a precise pass from Bruno Fernandes to Casemiro in the second half. But that single goal wasn’t enough for Manchester United to secure a point in this match. I personally think that Leeds United’s victory last night was due to their exceptional tenacity in keeping their team ahead of those ready to overtake them or even keeping them out of the relegation zone. That victory has strengthened Leeds’ confidence to bounce back in the upcoming rounds. And it makes me confident that Leeds is ready to defeat the teams they’ll face next.
