⚽ Premier League 2026/2027 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Solodoski]

You're right, And i knew that Arsenal fans will so warm by this 3-0 victory over conventry to night. But they should know that the league is just starting today moreover they didn't play with any of the top clubs on England yet, today me this every season i'm not sure if Arsenal will win the league again because in the history of England football Arsenal haven't won Premier league back to back,  i knew in their fans mind now no other coaches will drag the league with them them because Guardiola has left man city i believe other coaches will prove them wrong season just started.

I am not going to say that Arsenal will win the premier league this season, but I believe you are talking from a point of a rival fan that does not want Arsenal to win the league,  that is understandable.  You talked about history and I will like to let you understand that record are meant to be broken, so I don't understand you saying that Arsenal has not won the premier league back to back in their history. Yes we all understand that it's just the first game of the season and it's just Coventry according to you, buy don't forget that the same Arsenal won Manchester City just a week ago with the same scoreline, but I expected to reply that it's just the community shield.  I have to make it clear now, that Arsenal still remain the favorite for the premier league,  but like I said earlier, I am not saying they will win the premier league,  but I strongly believe that they are the team to beat this season.

I'm not going to talk about Arsenal, you knew that game.

Brentford vs Tottenham. Odds @2.08 - @3.30
Do you doubt Tottenham? I know last season they were too bad almost degraded, this time a number of players have been bought to strengthen their current position, the first game is still difficult to predict, but my own belief Tottenham will not be as bad as last season again.

Odds from the bookies, Tottenham's win is tantalisingly big.

This look like a good odd to take on. I also feel Tottenham should win the game regardless of the higher odds given to them by the bookmakers. just like you’ve said, they have had some good signings to the team, which I think should up their games to bring them back to the top 6 team they have always being a part.

Brentford have not been very sharp since they sold most of their place last season, although I’ve not been following up with their summer transfer, but it they have singed a good player I must have heard it or read it somewhere. Until now I’ve not seen any, so my bet also will be Tottenham to win without being emotional about the odds.

[Nightwatchmare]

Here i'm doing three legs parlay for opening day games of EPL. Arsenal is surely winning against Coventry, but we don't really know how good Coventry defense. Sometimes, a promoted team may surprise you. So i think i'd rather pick Arsenal to win the game. The odds is small, but it's likely to success.

Due to the how small Arsenal odds. So i decide to makes it attractive by combining it with another game that's quite easy to predict such as MU vs Hull (MU win) and Crystal Palace vs Everton (BTTS).

So far all of clubs are always aiming to secure full points and i'm sure the game between big clubs vs small team are always be winning by big clubs.

I can't wait for the games to begin.

As me i do not have doubt of Arsenal winning Coventry yesterday even as some persons thought Coventry would surprise Arsenal i crossed my fingers that Arsenal will beat Coventry without working so hard and i bet on Arsenal to Coventry. Manchester United will beat Hull City, the only game that would likely spoil your bet is Crystal Palace vs Everton. However, if they play BTTS your bet will play. Since premier league, la liga, french league, portugal league, and Italian league are just starting all the big clubs in those leagues will be aiming to secure 3 points. So i bet on the big clubs playing against small clubs in those leagues. Arsenal has played yesterday, it is remaining Lens, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Porto, Sporting, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, if they all win their game my bet will play.

Brentford was a strong team last season, and it was clear that Brentford were better than Tottenham last season. Brentford was playing at home, so Brentford was clearly favored in this match. I don't think the bookmaker's odds were wrong. I also believe Brentford has a higher chance of winning this match, a big factor being that Brentford was playing at home.

And Arsenal's impressive performance in their first match wasn't surprising, as no one doubted Arsenal's team this season, they are truly very strong.

[ruykeri]

Great start for the champions, they have started off the season again on a fly and will start building on this as the season progresses. Good to have Saka back on the starting lineup for this match, possibly the coach will have a rethink and keep on starting him unless he wants him to rest for some few games. Tomorrow other teams gets to play let's see how they too will fair especially teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, lots of eyes will be on them as they play their first match of the season.

There are a few big team matches in the next 3 days. The matches will definitely be exciting. Today, the Hull City vs Manchester United match will start with in sometime and I clearly understand that Manchester United will win. Because they are ahead of Hull City in almost every aspect. On the other hand, tomorrow, in the City vs Bournemouth match, the chances of City winning the match are very high, but the goal difference could have increased if Rodri could have played. But I am also in doubt about the Newcastle United match with Liverpool. Newcastle United are in good form now and it seems that they will be able to beat Liverpool as much as possible in the upcoming match.

I think I like your choice of teams and predictions because it looks similar to what I also did. But I have doubts concerning the game between Hull city and Manchester United, I wouldn’t want to hand Manchester United a straight winning because Hull city could be dangerous at home to most likely earn a point in this one against Manchester United. On paper all of this big teams are favorites to win their games but football is being played on the field and not on paper but it’s better to chose the more stronger teams than giving a win to the smaller teams, even though these smaller teams do win the big teams most of the times, but it’s very rare.

[Comeacross]

Hull city, a newly promoted team is hosting Manchester United today in their opening for the new season. 30 minutes into the game and they already scored Manchester United.

Can Manchester United equalise and turn things around? If Manchester united can not break down a newly promoted team, I don't know how they intend to handle more stronger teams. I know one match doesn't define the whole season but conceding first to a team that just come onboard is not something to overlook.

There is still more playing time remaining. Let see how Carrick will manage the situation.

I will likely agree with you that the big boys will likely win their games, Arsenal have already lead the way, Manchester United are currently battling with Hull City, though the game is still goalless, let's see how things pan out. As for Manchester City, Rodri is not a striker to say of he was available, the goal difference would have been high, I don't subscribe to that. Newcastle vs Liverpool is the first big game we are going to watch this season, I really don't know the style of play of Liverpool this season, else I would have judged them based on last seasons performance, so I would like to sit on the fence for that game.

I don't think the bookmaker's odds were wrong. I also believe Brentford has a higher chance of winning this match, a big factor being that Brentford was playing at home.

The point is that Tottenham have signed some great players to strengthen their team, which I believe will seriously improve them this season. Despite the fact that Tottenham were not in good form, Brentford were not able to beat them last season. At Brentford's home last season, Tottenham were able to draw the match, and when Brentford visited Tottenham at their home, Tottenham defeated them by two goals.

When I even checked the head-to-head records, I saw that Tottenham have a better record against Brentford. So, with that, I would say that Tottenham are the favorite team to win this upcoming match.Seriously, I don't know why the bookmakers gave Tottenham such high odds. Is it because they are playing away? Even with that, I did not expect Brentford to have lower odds and to be considered the favorite team because the statistics show that Tottenham always appear strong against Brentford even in their was season

[MArsland]

It was unexpected that Hull City were able to make Manchester United not move at all. United were 2-0 down despite fans optimism of a strong start to the season, the team looked dismissive of their opponents who had just been promoted to the Premier League. Carrick will have to be wary, as he will have trouble catching up if opponents continue to maintain an aggressive tempo of play in the second half.

So far all of clubs are always aiming to secure full points and i'm sure the game between big clubs vs small team are always be winning by big clubs.

I can't wait for the games to begin.

Now this looks like a decent prediction, but the odd are not big enough to entice me to bank on the game. When a season starts like this I don’t always predict team to win in the first match of the season, but choose other options because sometimes newly promoted teams take on teams with a surprising performance.

The option you picked for the Crystal palace vs Everton game is my favourite and it has the biggest odd. so if I’m going with any of your picks I’ll add that to my accumulation.

I never ever doubted Arsenal when they fought promoted club. Their often humiliated the promoted club, and they still have a team with good chemistry and good depth. So they won it.

However, it seems i'm gonna get f*cked by MU. This MU play like they have no passion in football. Hull City does put 5 people on the backline, yet MU becomes a headless chicken with no clue what to do.

Dorgu is bad, Tieleman has the worst debut in his career, and Heaven has to go out from the club. I can see all of low table will use same strategy like Hull City if they lose to this promoted club.

MU is now going down 0-2 against Hull City. Even making it draw is just like a fortune the them right now. I hate the way they play. ffs

When Arsenal got a win, then i feel my bet on Everton vs Palace will success, MU destroys my parlay.

[Grave Digger]

Christos Tzolis on his debut in the premier league for Arsenal against Coventry was unplayable

Man was running riot in Coventry defense, he was unstoppable, he looked like everything you need in a winger

Direct and precise, always knew what he wanted to do with the ball and how to execute his plan

Had the most touches ( in the opposition box
Took the most shots (4)

It’s may be early days in the league but you can clearly see that Christos Tzolis is a proper baller no doubt

His player rating says it all..7.8

one thing about Tzolis is that, he looks good in red

[Abbatty]

Carrick will have to be wary, as he will have trouble catching up if opponents continue to maintain an aggressive tempo of play in the second half.

If you watched Hull city in the championship last season you would know they would give Manchester United problems, especially at set piece. They are a team that really bring so much set pieces tactics into the game. It 85 minutes currently, I don’t think Manchester United will take any points from this game. The big disappointment is to see that Manchester United can’t even score a goal in this game.

Now Carrick have a big job ahead of him. He needs to find the right players to play for him, Playing Patrick Drugu upfront is really not going to work. He have so much attacking options but instead he chooses to play a defender upfront.

[Bigjoe33]

You can count on Arsenal in the early matches of the season, at least in the first 20 rounds of the season, Arsenal seem unstoppable. But the problem is in the last matches of the season, when even smaller teams can dominate Arsenal or force them to drop points. Arsenal usually try to play very aggressively in the early stages, most of the time they succeed in their offensive strategy no matter what team they are against.

Since they will be playing the match at home and against a team that is playing in the Premier League for the first time, I expect Arsenal to win the match very easily. Even with a big gap, Arsenal can win the match.

Well said and predicted, and it was proven by the way Arsenal played. I must say, it was an easy win for the champions just as you previously said before the game.

No doubt, I would say Mikel Arteta got himself a good substitute for Trossard already. He is just good. From his touches, moves, calculation and general play. He is one man to look out for when playing against Arsenal. He could cause any defense troubles anything and always. I enjoyed watching him down the left wing yesterday.

[Tmoonz]

Manchester United, after all the hype on the players signed, lol this is really hilarious I swear, anyways let's take it like it's the first match of the season, but deep down it's hard to ignore, what exactly is the color of their problems? I don't really expect this awful result from them today, I was totally convinced that it was a straight winning for the Red devils, but with what I watched today against Hull, meh they really got a very long way to go if they continue like this, like from A-Z of all the players were all awful in the pitch today.

This is a big surprise to me because I don't expect it, Hull city defeated Manchester United is a very big surprise to me, it is not that I underestimated them, but I expected Manchester United to do well in this match since the team just got promoted to Premier League this season and with the current performance of Manchester United I expect to see victory on their side. I will still give Manchester United chance since this is just the beginning and out of 38 matches only one is out, so there is high chances of them winning the trophy.

I did not bother with see the match but s friend of mine who was a Manchester United fan let's to see it and before he left he was bragging about how they were going to beat Hull City, of course I was checking on the scores online so I pretty much knew how the match went so when he came back I pretended to not know how the match ended and asked him to tell me how it went, he just straight up started accusing their coach for being to experimental with the players and not using them where they would be of more use, I've been laughing the whole time to make him even more angry.

I think most fans actually do not see this, but if a premier league team isn’t actually very good in aerial duel then just know that they will definitely suffer against most of the promoted sides and also the lower teams because that’s there strength. Hull city manager actually came into this game knowing fully well of this Manchester United vulnerability and you would see clearly from how they started the game that it was clearly there intent because they crossed so many balls into the box.

Manchester United has lots of problems to address in that squad and seriously the fans should be happy they lost this game because it exposes some of the flaws most people have been saying. Start with the full backs, let’s be honest this full backs are nothing to write home about, four years on they are yet to be changed. Then we have the attack again, I said this that Manchester United can never depend on Benjamin Sesko as their main striker because I don’t think he is ready.

The Issue of using Patrick Dorgu as right winger is still mind blowing, because you cannot have the likes of Cunha and even Rashford just to trust this guy on the attacking end because I don’t he has that quality, either he is Played in the left back or simply is used as a squad player and plays when only there is injury

What you said about Hull city playing well in the championship last season, and earning promotion to the premier league is no difference with what my friend told me today. He was so certain that Hull city will give Man u a hard time winning the game, he was even sure that Hull city surely will net Man u and probably even draw the match. Unfortunately, Hull city cleared our doubts and were able to win 2 to Nill, although man u possessed the game till the final whistle was blown. Man united have to do something about their attacking because if those are the attackers they are planning to use this season, they might likely relegate or barely survive relegation. Their Midfielders were also too late relax through the second half of the game as if they were winning, Man u should by now know that they need reinforcement in both their Midfield and attackers if they wants to play well this season.

I won't really considered this unexpected because Manchester united is a team of wonders and surprises, at first I thought Manchester united will win Hull city without much stress because they have signed a few players but later I began to doubt the first thought due to how disappointing they can be most times and they actually played rubbish and allowed Hull city that just came from championship to humiliate them. I was imagining if it was Arsenal Manchester united played today perhaps the goals would have been more...
