⚽ Matchday 12 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026

[TastyChillySauce00]

Looking at Matchday 10, Tottenham vs Chelsea might be the toughest to call. If odds tighten before kickoff, live-betting might offer better value than pre-match picks.

It's so damn hard to predict the result of this game. I know Chelsea is in a good mood after they won against Wolves, but i don't forget how Tottenham is also at the 3rd atm. So, i think both chances have almost the same chance to win. I personally rooting on Tottenham considering their defense ain't as bad as Chelsea.
Tottenham is gonna host the game so that's easy for them to beat Chelsea. Things can be much easier for them as long as Tosin x Chalobah will play together.

Amad Diallo saved MU from lose againts Nottingham, with a goal he scored in the 81st minute. Currently the match is running 91", and the score is still 2-2. It seems that MU has started to find their best strategy this season, because even though they were 2-1 behind since the 50", they were still able to play with good confidence until they managed to score an equalizer.

It was almost going to end in defeat for Manchester United but the 80 minutes goal made it not to be possible, Manchester United has been in some little good form of late that they were uneven in second position in the table just before the went for half time. Nottingham Forest surprised me today because they have not been in form and most of us thought it was going to be an easy win for Manchester United.

This was really an interesting match... When Manchester United got ahead I thought another win was on the way.    But it was a quite surprising comeback by Forest from 0-1 to 2-1.

Manchester United were even going to lose nearly. Forest were still a team in mess before this match. I wonder how they found it in themselves to do this.

Amorim should be aware of their weaknesses at defending also by the way.

Yes, they had more chances of defeat, but this player worked hard in the last moments and scored a goal while looking for an opportunity, and got a draw and a point, which is better than a defeat. This match continued till the end and both the teams could not score any more goals till the end and the match ended in a draw. In terms of this defeat, we can consider them better, but if they had scored another goal here and won the match, it would have been easily considered their strength. They had worked hard in the match and if their players had found another opportunity, they could have scored again and won the match. Nottingham Forest is a weak team anyway, but Manchester United still played well and succeeded in the end.

A draw may not be ideal, but it show us that Manchester United have successfully solved the issues they faced last season, slow but sure maybe this is the right for MU movement now. Manchester United once struggled under Ferguson, so they should be able to bounce back as that era. Of course, I'm not comparing the current manager to Ferguson. While I'm still unsure about him, I hope Manchester United can return to being a top-tier team by the end of the season, not just a below top-3 finisher.

I think the boost Forest has was the fact that they changed there coach. We know how it used to be. A new momentum and everything new. Players would want to impress plus a new atmosphere. So I believe United did not face that weak forest team but faced a revitalised team seeking to re-write there wrongs and make a name for themselves.

Sincerely, I was shocked with the come back and the lead within just 2 minutes. Conceding 2 goals within 2 minutes was a shocker for everyone. If not that they managed to equalise, then they would have lost completely and it would have been very bad for them. It is even funny how Manchester United fans already feels like they have arrived with there 3 consecutive wins. But Nottingham Forest proved them wrong as they dragged them to a draw at the end of the 90 mins. Manchester United should step up there defence and seek for a more stable block to avoid such points give away

Manchester City - Bournemouth is going on really lovely. Manchester City were much better in the first half. If they maintain the same effort they should be fine with winning the match.

Haaland is such a beast.    2 goals already and I wonder how long he will stay on the pitch. You know they have a CL match in 3 days against Dortmund home.

I thought both teams would score but it didn't happen. Tottenham really like to surprise their fans. How can't they even score a single goal in at home? Even though Chelsea aren't having a good defensive season so far...

An interesting week so far since all big teams won and Man Utd dropped points like they always do. Man Utd took 3 points from Liverpool recently so I'm really glad they got to drop points this weekend vs Nottingham Forrest. As for Liverpool, despite the fact that we won yesterday, I still think we aren't strong enough to compete form fo compete for the title this season. Even though we won Villa, we really look shitty. Hopefully our form improvised otherwise we will get cooked with Madrid/Man city

Their "golden boy" .

I thought Bournemouth would be the tough opponent for Manchester City, but surprisingly they turned out to be the sitting duck. They squandered energy on fruitless attacks, while Manchester City played confidently and forehanded. This match was the pleasure to watch, especially since I had placed the bet on a Manchester City victory when the score was 0-0. The bet paid off, giving the slight boost to my bankroll.

Liverpool have finally won, good for them... However things are still not fixed yet of course. They have a long road ahead to improve their form.

They are unlucky that they have a Real Madrid match right ahead.    I can't think very positively about Liverpool in this one even though I know it's at Anfield.

In the Premier League, points are so close that even winning after many weeks was enough for them to climb to 3rd place.

Yeah, but as you say, despite they are winning this match, they will face Manchester City on matchday 11. Manchester City have started to find their best form again after struggle in the beginning of season, now they are managed to lose only one of their last five matches. if Liverpool winm it would likely give both the players and the manager more confidence for the upcoming matches.

There is no doubt that Manchester United have improved and strengthened themselves but they will draw the match against Nottingham so I was surprised to see this performance of Manchester United because they were not a very strong team but they used to play Manchester United well that is why they have failed against them. Manchester United have become a kind of better and stronger team they will now have to play this journey well for a long time and it is difficult for them because they do not have such a performance that they play well in every match. Manchester United players are getting better than before if they keep their good performance and keep putting pressure on the opposing team then this position from their side can go up a lot.

Do you remember how much odds were given to Haaland to score? 

I guess it was bigger than the one given to Manchester City to win the match, right? The reason why I'm saying this is that I find it more sensible to bet on his goal instead.

Because you know, he scores like almost in every match. Isn't it worth trying because of that? Probably his odds will drop more in time but until then it makes sense to do so.

Good idea, I never considered that option before. I'll probably try it next time, combining it into the combo bet, which should increase the overall odds. Haaland really does score at least once in almost every match, and that's why I call him the golden boy of Manchester City. BTW, his appearance, especially his coloring, fits that "Golden Boy" award ^{he received in 2020} perfectly.

Matchday 10 ended with a draw between Sunderland and Everton. Next week, we'll see the big match between Man City and Liverpool. Many consider this not a big match because Liverpool are currently in poor form. However, for me, this is still a big match, and Liverpool could steal three points from the hosts. Even someone says this doesn't make sense, because Liverpool performance has far away from fans expectations, having been so dominant last season, they lost four times in a row, facing Man City that alread improved after struggling in the early weeks.

[Pulsar77]

Sunderland are really interesting. They have just promoted to the Premier League. It's never easy for a newcomer to be successful in their first season already. But for now Sunderland continue to impress! 

I wish they won against Everton too. It was a deserved one I think. Now they are going to play one of their toughest matches in the league. It's against Arsenal... They are like the best version of them this year.

I don't give much chance for Sunderland to win of course. But maybe they might get a draw somehow which is also not easy.

Everton is weak in this match, they played well in terms of their performance, but Sunderland's performance and victory in the match did not prove themselves to be good, due to which they were only able to draw. I will consider Manchester City better in this match because Liverpool is also weak like Everton at the moment, so Manchester City has a chance to win the match and win the match. This is also a good thing in a way because Liverpool had strengthened themselves, but they could not improve again after losing some matches. We will consider Liverpool to be somewhat better and watch the match between the two. If we look at Manchester City, they can control Liverpool, so I would like to see Manchester City win or draw.

[emrecemsan]

There is a huge match ahead at the weekend like Manchester City v Liverpool!

Currently there is only one point between these teams. But as for their recent forms, Manchester City are far ahead. And their defense is also in a much better shape clearly.

However Liverpool also started to show some life signs in their last 2 matches. First Aston Villa and later Real Madrid were their victims. Thinking that they didn't lose to Manchester City for quite a long time too, they might really keep it up.

[satscraper]

Today three of the five scheduled matches are likely to be of interest to me, i.e. Tottenham vs. Manchester United, Sunderland vs. Arsenal, and Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers. I will definitely bet on Arsenal and Chelsea to win, but I haven't decided yet about Tottenham vs. Manchester United; the best bet there is probably BTTS. What do you think?
