⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Crystal Palace knocked off the bucket list and next assignment for Citeh will be Bournemouth which is not an easy task, but we all want this to count as a win to put pressure on current league leaders Arsenal who face a Burnley side that has been relegated & have nothing to play for besides pride. but don't count Burnley out, these are the kind of teams that would want to be in the history books for stopping Arsenal from getting their EPL title and they can do it..

Let the mind games begin 

Mind games won't work again because logically Arsenal is gonna win the rest of games. No more strong opponents, and they can win both of games. Burnley is so damn shite as well as Palace. I think they already secured their crown, though they have not yet played the two games remaining.
Even almost all of football fans are skeptical about Burnley and Palace will give a fight to Arsenal.

I think the winner is already decided. So congrats for Arsenal winning EPL again after more than 20 years of playing football in modern years.

Did you just say no more strong opponents**this gives me the chills**... I think you just ginxed Arsenal's chances of winning this one and I will come here to remind you should it happen 

Burnley of course looks easy, but am seeing some hearts broken when they face Crystal Palace away from the Emirates which won't be an easy fixture... just need to check if Palace will be playing for any qualifications as this would be the deciding factor..

Burnley would do no such thing, Palace was on the line of being a threat, but we all saw them play last night, and could testify that Arsenal won't stoop so low as to losing to both teams. Once, Burnley is dusted, I think the congratulations should be awarded to Arsenal already.

Yes Arsenal is leading the chart and they are the favorite right now to win the league, but as there is no certainty Arsenal is gonna win their last 2 matches there will always be mind games and no-one knows if it will not work again since Arsenal have not win their last 2 matches. Even if Arsenal last 2 opponents seems weak, do not forget a surprise can happen in football, Burnley or Crystal Palace that everyone is believing Arsenal could win easily and become the premier league champions can shock the everyone and stop Arsenal to win the premier league. I will not congratulate Arsenal yet because i do not know if they will be the premier league champions this season.

You are right, there's nothing burnley can do to beat Arsenal. Arsenal have 3 most important games in their whole history, so they need to go all out to achieve a win in all. Manchester City fucked up their chance when they drew to Everton, it was a very awful game. This has cost or reduced their chances of winning the league. The only hope they have is if Crystal Palace manages to find a way to either win or draw Arsenal. Crystal Palace also has an European final to play against Rayo vallecano, so they Will be looking for all possible means to rest their players to avoid injuries. Arsenal will surely lift this title.

While all European domestic leagues have already found their champions, only the Premier League remains undecided. That's why I want Arsenal to finish their final season and secure the trophy. There are only two games left, and the points gap is still uncertain. This is exciting, but I feel sorry for the Arsenal players, whose energy is being drained until the end, plus they also have to prepare for the Champions League final.

When once they go pass Burnley then it is settled, the English premier League title will be automatically theirs no doubt, Burnley is they only challenge they are having now, though Burnley have nothing to fight for as they are already relegated but I'm thinking they wouldn't like the league to be decided after their game so they will fight real good to prevent Arsenal from winning the game, but if by chance they win it then it's a go for them, as Crystal Palace will not play anything to stop them, as they will be needing their ten million.

But is there really a strong opponent again? I doubt it too.

City slipped when they draw with Everton. That was the perfect opportunity for them to catch up with Arsenal but missed it. They are probably now chasing in vain as chances to meet up is very slim. Unless Arsenal is cursed never to win any trophy again, they are not likely to miss this one this season.

But football can be funny sometimes. Burnley can't just be rule out as we mostly assume. This same Burnley gave Manchester city a tough game in their last meeting and City escaped with just one goal scored. Crystal Palace for sure would be difficult one for Arsenal on the last day. Unless Arsenal fumble in any of this match to revive City hope, it's gone. Manchester city also has Aston villa to battle with on the final day.

After seeing Manchester City's performance it will be hard to see if Arsenal can do the same to next opponents so to take the title with no more if and buts when it comes to goal difference. With them scoring three goals and not conceding, they are still in the discussion with their remaining games left being just as easy to do the same to their opponents who are Bournemouth and Aston Villa.

What a silly and i dont want to say more hurting words to the statement made by West Ham yesterday pointed something like Premier League wants them to go to championship instead of Totenham and wanting to show that totenham was favored or something like that, come on man you were a complete shit the whole season you cant start crying now and less when is nothing real.

[Alex077]

Arsenal's only remedy is that they should never drop points.

It is true that Arsenal cannot afford to drop a single point. But thinking that they will never drop point is a bit unrealistic. Even the best team in the world stumble from time to time. That is the nature of football. Arsenal's real medicine is to keep their concentration super hard and win most of the remaining match. At the same time pray that City somehow loses its footing.

the title is already their if only they will win their games, so no pressure GUNNERS .

No pressure? Pressure is suffocating! Man City is breathing down their necks and ahed by goal difference. Arsenal are now number one in the table. But if they make even one mistake and get away with it, it is all over. This worry that 'you can not make a mistake' is enough to keep them awake.

Manchester City’s situation is more tougher than Arsenal's their next games are with Aston Villa and Bournemouth, a team struggling to be in the Champions League and another that's been very consistent with good performance, playing against those teams would be tougher compared to Arsenal that's playing against Crystal Palace and Burnley.
 Maybe you forgot that Crystal Palace would be receiving £10m from Arsenal for Eze if they win the title and Burnley is already relegated, don't you think Crystal Palace could go easy on Arsenal for the £10m and after being relegated Burnley players won't be motivated to play to their full potential since they have nothing at stake.

That is a statement of disappointment that we find very funny indeed, and I also see that throughout this season West Ham has played very poorly, and personally, I am happier seeing them relegated compared to Tottenham because realistically, if we look at the overall picture, Tottenham this season is slightly better than West Ham. However, every possibility is still there in the last match, although it must also be admitted that West Ham's chances are now very small. There is only 1 match left, and West Ham has to win in the last match against Newcastle and hope Tottenham loses in the other matches, which seems like an impossible mission, and everyone is aware of this, which is why funny statements like the one you mentioned come out.

In the last few years, we have seen arsenal lose the game at the end  of the season, while manchester city continue their winning  streak. This season, such an  incident was going to be  repeated. But Arsenal has overcome a lot. If they can continue their  winning streak in the last two matches, they will be premier league champions. If they  stumble again at such a crucial moment , it will be a pity. They have been fighting for the title for several years.

Arsenal will play against Burnley and crystal palace. Both opponents are very weak. Arsenal  have a great chance of  winning if they do not make any mistakes. I am optimistic about arsenal's victory.

The match against Arsenal would be the only chance for Burnly to shine this season. I am sure Burnley will be super motivated about that. Come on, they've been relegated and now have nothing to lose. Their previous match was a draw against Aston Villa after a 5L. A big difference compared to Arsenal. They need a win.

However, I think the match schedule is a bit better for Arsenal because they will play before Man City. If Man City play first and win, it will add more pressure to them. And for Man City, they will face Bournemouth. They are good at counter attacking. A team with domination versus a team with fast counter attacks. Clearly not an easy game.

About that Eze thing, it's gone viral recently. The clause about that bonus really ruins the rivalry vibe between Arsenal and Man City this season. That amount of money is huge for a team like Crystal Palace. If they lose, I won't be surprised if match fixing issues blow up on the internet. The only way Crystal Palace could win is if Sheikh Mansour offers them 2x higher than that clause

From your post it's very clear that you really want Arsenal to bottle this league and for Manchester City to win it, but I am sorry to disappoint you because nothing of such is going to happen. I must say that at this point I am very confident of Arsenal winning the premier league this season,  I don't see them losing any match at this point of the season and I will not be surprised if Manchester City still drop point before the end of the season, because the pressure is on them since Arsenal I on top of the table, so I don't see that mind games working at this point.

When West Ham performance cannot show its quality to qualify for the Premier League next season, then the only way is to say a narrative full of excuses, linking it with various nonsense as if they were cheated. That's how it is when the mental state is depressed, then the assessment is not objective, instead of admitting that his team's performance is bad, what happens is looking for a scapegoat to blame to justify his failure. The point is they are not ready to be relegated, because from the start they felt their position was safer than Tottenham.

[rachael9385]

I expected Manchester City to win their match today and that is what happened I predicted in my bet for Manchester city to win and they have succeeded in winning with three goals wonderful performance from Manchester City they are fighting so well to make sure that they have the chance of lifting the premier League trophy and if Arsenal should make any mistake by losing any match or drawing any match Manchester City will end up lifting the premier League trophy Arsenal should not make any mistake but from what I'm saying I believe arsenal may end up making a mistake of drawing their match or losing if that happens then Manchester City will be the champions of England this season.

The odds suggested that they would win but I have stopped placing a bet on such low value odds because they can be very disappointing. The only mistake that affected city was the match they played against everton, winning the trophy might be difficult for them at this point because Arsenal are not going to mess up the opportunities that they have, arsenal has a high chance of winning.

Yes....Arsenal's right now must do everything possibly to beat Burnley and also the Crystal Palace because this stage is even more important than any stage now in this season. Though no match seems easy at this moment either its with small team or big teams, since they are in tittle race, but if at all Arsenal put more efforts I believe they could meet up, but the Burnley and crystal palace are also bot going to be relax, they will also gives thier best, expecialy at the end of the season even small or weak teams always want to show that they break records over a bigger teams at this moment.

However, things could actually become difficult for the Arsenal if they couldn't win these too teams because Manchester city are fully prepared to face this remaining race to the end, they know how to handle much pressures at this stage, they are always ready to take advantage mistakes that Arsenal may make, so Arsenal don't need to relax anymore.
