⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Velvet78]

There are 2 days left for the final games of the season. All of them are starting at the same time as well. However there is nothing thrilling on top positions.

You know Arsenal have already announced their title. And top 5 is also decided. One can say Bournemouth still have one last chance but it is only mathematically. Logically there is no way...

The only attracting thing left is to determine the last team to relegate. Tottenham hold a huge advantage in their hands. Even 1 point would be enough.

After winning the UEFA Europa League final, we see Aston Villa face Manchester City in the final match of the 2025/26 EPL season. Honestly it seems to me that Aston Villa are still in their best form, in particular they have unilaterally destroyed a German league club in the UEFA Europa League final, so it is certainly conceivable that this team will naturally perform as a unified team even if they face Manchester City in the final match of the season. Everyone has noticed that Manchester City had some chance of winning the title this season but they already have two trophies this season in their kitty, so I think they are one of the most successful teams in this season's PL, which will help them perform at a high level in the upcoming match.

The final EPL match is no longer important for Man City or Aston Villa because both have already secured qualification for next season's Champions League. The match was just a formality, winning or losing would no longer affect their position. The draws achieved by Man City against Everton and Bournemouth made Man City fail to achieve a domestic Treble winner, they were only able to win two trophies this season, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. However, both trophies are still less prestigious than the EPL trophy, if Arsenal manages to win the UCL trophy, then they will be the most successful EPL team this season.

Man City, winning only the FA Cup and EFL Cup is still a good season, but so many of us actually expected more from them because they are used to winning the Premier League too and the draw against Everton and Bournemouth really affected their chances of getting more trophies this season.

And that is what all of them are after, every other person's target is the champions league and since this season everyone already know there faith they want to channel everything all the adjustments towards the next season and the two draw that Manchester city had was what affected us and the way it is Manchester City know they are good so they have a way of underestimating there opponents and that is what affected them the most in losing the premier league title to us but hopefully they should be able to do better next season and the celebration is still going on for us because a lot of people never expected arsenal to bag  the premier league title and now it is even more different because they don't know what we are coming with next season.

The reason why people actually feel that Manchester City season isn't all that good is possible due to the reason that everyone actually expected arsenal bottle the premier League to them but this time around the case was different because Manchester City themselves aren't that balance when it comes to their form so that's why they found it really hard against Everton and Bournemouth but Bournemouth is one of the teams that big clubs find it hard to win so I won't blame them on that .

Even the previous season, Manchester City didn’t win the Premier League trophy. Arsenal were even better than them in the previous season because they finished as the runner up, while Manchester City finished third with 71 points, so what is meant to be will be. I was also thinking that Arsenal would lose their chance of getting the trophy, but after I saw Manchester City draw against Everton, I knew that Arsenal would definitely win their trophy after over 2 decades, which happened, so congratulations once more to them. For Manchester City, the two trophies they got are still okay for them.

Do not know that it would have been quite disappointing if Arsenal could not win the premier league?
It been very long when Arsenal won this trophy and it would have been so disappointing for them if they lose the opportunity to win.
Manchester City was their biggest rival although they tried but they could not meet up with Arsenal to overtake them with points.

[Amphenomenon]

Yes Gunners deserve it, including the celebrations. Every team were inconsistent but Gunners was still the best and then won the trophy but now it will be obvious how loud their fans have always been.

You heat them say Chelsea this and that but now that they won the EPL after so many years, they will be way louder some that has been their nature but to staving to do so all these years.

They deserves to be crown champions of the English premier league title this season because they are the most consistent team in the league, and their point accumulation entails that. Though I initially doubted their ability to win the league title due to how they are used to bottling their title winning chances in the past, but they prove me wrong that they are ready this season, which they did.
As for their noise making fans, they are definitely going to get worse because this title they won this season has given them more motivation to make more noise than those that are winning constantly 🤣

I often try to watch my mouth when speaking against Arsenal around the season but after their lost against City almost to the end of the season I thought it was all over somehow and made many jest of them and fans but unfortunately the bottler this season was City and they made them feel so special and now Gunners are the victor.

It will be noisy indeed especially this final game and when they parade with the trophy in London, hopefully there will be a better watch this time to avoid casualty like experienced last season when Liverpool won the league.

I don't know why people keeps dragging only Manchester City for letting Arsenal win the English premier League title this season, the fact is all English premier League teams started the season with a zero point and every one of them is entitled to the English premier League title, but Arsenal seem to be more formidable this season and they won it, instead of blaming the whole English premier League teams now they want to put it all on Manchester City, which I don't really find funny, so they should let Manchester City to be rather than blaming them for the mistake of all.

The Premier League is not the birthright of Manchester City so it should not be used as the only measure of success for them. By all standard, Manchester City have had a successful season with the two titles even though they did not win the local league and Champions League. Even Chelsea have nothing to show for this season and next season they will not be playing in Champions League yet they are still proud of their club. Even Manchester United and Liverpool won nothing still they are just fine remaining in the apex league. So, Manchester City is just fine this season.

But do you know that last season Manchester City didn’t win the premier league? Because if you can recall their last season performances I think Arsenal performance where even far better than Manchester City, so this season that Arsenal win the league they really deserve to win because right from the beginning of this season; they where very serious is just that when the season come to an end their performance was little poor.

Although that Manchester City last drew against Bournemouth was the one affected their chances of winning the premier this season, so that means they didn’t have hope for Arsenal of winning their remaining one match even thought Manchester City that last match Arsenal will also win their next game against crystal palace which is sure.

[Adams0001]

Before Liverpool won the last premier league trophy Manchester City have won it back to back, so for no wining it for two seasons is not something new and they are still doing good is just that they don’t have luck to achieve it this season, Gudiola as really do well for Manchester City and won many trophies for the clubs and is leaving end of the season. Maresca we build the term better and try is best to win the EPL next season after the WC competition go to and ends. Let see how next season will goes but I don’t think they will need any players to the club since they have everything already.

I can't believe the season is already (almost) over. Time flies by so fast.
The last round is to be played this Sunday at 4 pm UK time. All games will be played on the same day and the same time.

The fixtures and odds (powered by 2up.io) are:

Manchester City x1.26 Vs Aston Villa x8.70; Draw x5.90
Liverpool x1.76 Vs Brentford x3.80; Draw x4.13
West Ham x1.71 Vs Leeds x4.17; Draw x4.01
Brighton x1.80 Vs Manchester United x3.71; Draw x4.00
Crystal Palace x4.00 Vs Arsenal x1.77; Draw x3.84
Tottenham x1.83 Vs Everton x4.04; Draw x3.54
Burnley x2.28 Vs Wolves x2.84; Draw x3.52
Fulham x2.75 Vs Newcastle x2.30; Draw x3.61
Nottingham Forest x3.25 Vs Bournemouth x2.02; Draw x3.69
Sunderland x3.38 Vs Chelsea x1.97; Draw x3.69

Is anyone seeing any good picks here?
Odds for Tottenham look decent. But just because they are desperate to win, doesn't mean that's what will happen. Everton don't seem to have much at stake, but are still fighting for a better league position, which I believe would give them a better stake at distributable Premier League prize money.

There are 2 days left for the final games of the season. All of them are starting at the same time as well. However there is nothing thrilling on top positions.

You know Arsenal have already announced their title. And top 5 is also decided. One can say Bournemouth still have one last chance but it is only mathematically. Logically there is no way...

The only attracting thing left is to determine the last team to relegate. Tottenham hold a huge advantage in their hands. Even 1 point would be enough.

Liverpool needs to finish the season high,but they go against Brentford United who have struggled away from home. It should be a great game to see.

Asides that, the game between West Ham United and Leeds United worthy same goes with the game between Tottenham Hotspur against Everton. We are all keen to see who avoids or escapes relegation.

Is it just me or do you all agree that Man City's odd is quite low for a win? Aston Villa might have won the Europa league or qualified for the Champions league but I still don’t see it as an easy win for Manchester City.

Liverpool should be a straight win game because that should keep them safe for Champions League qualification. Brentford has had an outstanding performance lately but that should be a win game for Liverpool regardless.

[Webetcoins]

It is normal for Arsenal fans to become a bit insufferable these days, it will be very high during this time, and will get a bit smaller later on, and will slow down when the next season starts (unless they are starting to do great again next season). They have been getting abuse for the past 20 years, so it is only normal that they will want to get that out.

There are many situations in the world where big clubs fail to win a title for a long time but not many reach 22 years.

Man City has already so much with the help of Pep Guardiola, so the fact that they encountered one difficult season doesn’t mean that it’ll eventually erase everything they e done and achieved so far. Winning the league back to back is no easy task at all, and as far as I know, City still have one of the strongest squads, and if Enzo Maresca eventually comes in next season, I believe it’s gonna be way better than the last.

Tottenham is on a safer side, but I feel that they are going to loose their match in Sunday, sadly I felt the same for West Ham as well
Because Everton are in a better for, so it is for Leeds as well,
So the both teams are facing really tough opponents, and if two of them loose Tottenham will not be relegated

First of all let me say yes none of either Aston Villa and Manchester City really have anything to take from this game so it might technically be a fair well ceremony for Pep guardiola but still this game will definitely be shaping the future of the league and how most clubs finishes most especially if they lose and Liverpool actually gets their three points then six premier league clubs are going to participate in the next year’s champions league but a top four finish will definitely mean the sixth slot wouldn’t be coming again for the champions league. So this game still has deciders to do

Yeah. Many people didn’t think it will be like this for Manchester city, if not a team that won the FA cup and EFL to me that team as done a lot to their fans for that season.

But you know Manchester city fans, they want they should keep winning the  EPL and champions league which is really gonna be hard. It’s competition and it’s very competitive, so I honestly think it should be rotating, now that it’s our turn (ARSENAL) they are are panicking that they should be the one winning this league.
