⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Hanadawa]

most of the teams that had a good start sre already falling behind, Chelsea is currently at the 5th position and Liverpool on the other hamd are currently struggling and seeing them at the 9th position feels weird...I don't think Liverpool's situation will be fixed this season, from the looks of it they are done for...we can only hope for them to get better next season, it is very unusual for them to be backward

After winning the title the previous season, I also found Liverpool's current ranking strange. I thought Liverpool would just get off to a bad start and slowly find their rhythm. But after 15 games, they're still in 9th place. Manchester United could overtake them if they beat Wolves. Yes, it feels like Liverpool are finished. They'll spend Christmas in a bad position. I just hope they can evaluate and improve their ranking. Liverpool are out of the title race, but they still have a chance to secure a place in European competition.

This crisis is truly devastating. In fact, out of 15 matches, they have lost six and drawn twice. Look at how poor their performance is. In their last five matches, Liverpool have lost twice, drawn twice, and only won once. Their last defeat was an embarrassing defeat against Leeds United.

Liverpool are also experiencing several crises and inconsistencies with some of their players. We've heard various rumors and issues between the manager and Mohamed Salah, as well as the failure of their signing.

This crisis already kills momentum, for best team of last season - too many issues suddenly coming out, and few players are now online for having their transfer orders, this speculation surely going to be having negativity on clubs' performance.

Arne Slot brings too many big names and trying to have best results but fails. Attack is completely out of way and their depth is not good enough. Even now their best player also failed to give his best too many rumours are working around about future of Arne Slot because situation clearly indicating he is having not good time ahead of him, due to teams downfall and his poor strategy. Inconsistency and poor defense are the worst things happening around them, even now they are not able to handle 0–2 lead against a relegation zone team.

Salah has become the subject of much discussion for Liverpool's poor performance in recent matches, making him feel the need to speak out. Arne Slot has been inept at Liverpool thus far, and perhaps he should take responsibility for the team's increasingly poor performance. It was also a shame that Salah was not fielded in the match against Leeds, for whatever reason so the match ended in a draw, despite his significant contribution to Liverpool's achievements in previous seasons.

Overall many people blame with Mohamad Salah for Liverpool has bad result in premier league match, Salah putted at the bench for three matches in a row and Liverpool can't win the match yet. I don't think mistake of Salah after Liverpool downtrend performance but tactician of Arne Slot have easily anticipation by premier league team right now. Salah have said to media about some one make him want to leave Liverpool although huge contribution helping the Kop won many trophies from premier league and champion league.
Stop blaming Salah for bad achievement of Liverpool and lets give him the more minutes playing to see his top level performance helping Liverpool back to victory performance exactly now at crucial match in champion league or premier league.

This will be an interesting match and I don't even think Manchester United can win the match, Manchester United has been performing poorly this days and I can't trust them to win this match anyone who is betting on them to win the match is taking a very big risk which should not be taken, we know that wolves are not inform this season but since is there home they will do everything possible to make sure that they win Manchester United and since Manchester United is not also inform is possible for wolves to win them in today's match.
The problem of Manchester United is the players they are performing poorly even with the good tactics the coach is using they need to improve if they want to do very well this season.

In terms of player quality, this seems like an easy match for Manchester United, but the problem is their inconsistent form. Furthermore, the performance of the Manchester United players is far below par, as many of them are unable to execute Amorim's tactics. However, I see a strong chance for Manchester United to win this match, especially given Wolves' current slump.

[Bigjoe33]

Manchester United have a really easy game to play today. Wolves are just the worst team in the league now as you all know. Only 2 points after 14 games... They can't even score a goal for so many weeks. 

Still it is interesting that the Red Devils have been given 1.66 odds for the win. It is higher than it should be normally. I just see a good opportunity there. My bet is absolutely on them. A potential win will carry them to the 6th position.

They sure have to win this one. But if they fail, then we don't know what the team generally would explain to the fans as the reason why they couldn't win wolves. Like you said, they are just the worst this season. They sold all there players and are relying on nothing to escape relegation this season, but surely, they might not see it happen as everything team has used them to climb.

Anyone who has placed a bet for win in favour of Manchester United didn't play bad, but howbeit, football is football, anything can still happen, considering the fact that Manchester United has bit really been consistent in there matches this season. They should win, and I hope they will

[Sandra_hakeem]

The reason the team was able to score goals without Palmer and also keep a clean cheats even against bigger teams? It's not due to maresca's tactics; though it plays a major role, the answer is very simple, Pedro Neto, Reece james and moise caicedo. Without these three, the team is weak and vulnerable. Go check all their goals since Palmer got injured, these men are always involved either with assisting or starting up the build up play, and the main reason they keep clean sheets is due to their deadly duo reece james and moises caicedo.

When Chelsea don't have Neto up there to win second balls and pick up with the counter or get crosses in like he always does? Also when they lack their dynamic due combo of james and moises Caicedo ? I'm sorry they can't defend and the team finds it hard to make fast transitions from back to front and score goals to win their team games, which is what has been happening in their recent games.

[Not your key not your BTC]

I'll try to raise a discussion here about how Manchester United could have won the title this season if their manager wasn't Ruben Amorim with his signature 3-4-3 formation.

Manchester United currently has 22 points from 14 matches.
Not losing to Everton and not drawing against West Ham United is their main opportunity to secure a top-four finish, strengthening their chances of catching up with Arsenal, as Manchester City is currently doing.

The inconsistency of Manchester City and Chelsea would have been a challenge if Amorim wasn't the manager, but rather Ruud van Nistelrooy, with his signature 4-3-3 formation. He once brought the best out of the Manchester United squad during his interim tenure, with Mainoo a key player in midfield.

Naturally, the 3-4-3 formation is not a formation that has been established for decades since the Ferguson era. Manchester United usually uses a flat back four, in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 pattern, and even in Manchester United's youth teams, the pattern is also the same, 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. So it can be said that Amroin insists on applying the formation and strategy he wants. If the results are good, it wouldn't be a problem, but what happens is that Manchester United often gets poor results. If poor results occur, the coach should be more flexible in applying his strategy so that the team can produce good results, which is a victory. Not stubbornly sticking to his strategy even though the results are always bad.

The 3-4-3 formation isn't suitable for Manchester United because Manchester United's culture favors the 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formation, a formation that has been a hallmark of Manchester United for years under Ferguson's leadership. Amorim is indeed a stubborn coach, even though he knows the 3-4-3 formation doesn't work perfectly at Manchester United, but he refuses to change it, and the results are clear, just how chaotic Manchester United's current performance is. If Amorim continues with his current attitude, fans should never expect to see Manchester United win a title.

For point of correction every bet placed is a risk be it strong or weak team so long it's gambling and there's a stake on it, trust me that the first risk you've taken before any thing else, and this match between Wolves and Manchester United I'm 80% sure Manchester United is winning this game, be it home or away, Wolves has not been in good form since the start of the season and lost 5+ consecutive matches and I don't still see them to start their winning with Manchester United, as Manchester United on the other hand need this point so badly so they both gonna play like their life depends on the game but I'm quite sure Manchester United will win the game.

[VashaUdacha777]

Hi guys 

Manchester United look like the favorites in this one. Wolves have picked up only two points in 14 games and are sitting in last place for a reason. It’s already December and they still haven’t won a single match. In the Premier League, underdogs often steal points from the big teams, but in this game I don’t think Wolves have any real chances.

The funniest part is that if United win today, they’ll jump from 12th place all the way up to fifth.   I just hope the match turns out exciting and full of goals!

I'm very confident that Manchester United will beat Wolverhampton Wanderers tonight. Some fans were disappointed when Manchester United drew against West Ham at Old Trafford in their previous match, but tonight, Bruno Fernandes will prove they can perform well. For the Wolves vs. Manchester United match, I predict that Manchester United will win by a 2-goal margin.

The odd is not that bad, it's okay Manchester for a team like Manchester United that are unstable in their ways. The bookmakers gave the odd because they know that playing Manchester United is a risk and anyone who has decided to take on that risk should be able to get something at the end of the day should Manchester United win as we are all expecting them to win. I know Manchester United are not a team to trust, but when wolves is involved I will throw my support behind Manchester United. Some people are talking Wolverhampton surprising us today with a win but I don't just see that magic happening.

[SmartCharpa]

Fans might start to bet carefully this time looking at the way many big clubs are losing their matches to a smaller clubs.
Arsenal and Chelsea are two big clubs that has been failing us due to their weakness in delivering their own side of the match. Manchester City was able to win their own match but these two clubs failed to win due to their lapses within the players.

Chelsea draw was disappointing for me but regarding Arsenal lost I'm not shocked because Aston Villa in recent seasons has often been able to trouble the Gunners and this season without key defenders, it wasn't shocking for me, although I thought they might get a win but something better happened and Aston got all three points.

Everyone should be watchful of City climb back because once they finally get to the top, it might be goodbye for every title contenders including Gunners.

The season is still early for Arsenal to correct their mistakes, otherwise, Aston Villa has always denied Arsenal from winning the title, last season, they beat Arsenal at home, they are in good form recently, but I never thought they could get 3 points from Arsenal because they are the master of clean sheets this season, but I was wrong, Arsenal suffered their second defeat of the season. I hope some defenders return before the next Premier League game.

I’m just worried about Arsenal now that Manchester City is two points behind them, this is the team that was 8 points ahead of other teams and like they are not going to drop points in order to reduce the points difference, it would be very disappointing if Arteta fails to maintain this position until the end of the season, perhaps if City draw or lose their next game against Crystal Palace, Arsenal will have more points difference in the table.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Today, United will be made to play against wolves and I'm not expecting anything promising to happen. It bothers me how and why the team has decided to allow Amorim to further crush their collective efforts of so many decades. This isn't the time to look for a new manager, but I hope they're as good as ready to take a chance when the opportunity shows up.

Should we talk about the passing accuracy? it's really bad. I think, instead of overthinking other things, first they need to improve on that!,  A team like Manchester United should have at least 88% passing accuracy per match. But right now, they are  only at 81%. The pass completion is also a terrible record.

[TelolettOm]

Using Salah as the headline so that they will not bash the manager and the over signed players who have underperformed. It is good to see Salah speaking up for himself. He has helped achieve every trophy for Liverpool over the years.
The manager should be responsible for taking and absorbing all the heat that comes to players but he is busy shying away from it. The next game should be against Inter Milan, we will see if he can correct the errors and lead them to a win.

Mohamed Salah's issues with the coach and Liverpool are heating up. He has indeed been training. However, he will be out of the lineup for the Champions League match against Inter Milan. Yes, Salah will not travel to Italy for that crucial match. It's clear that Arne Slot, the staff, and management have decided on this.

With this situation, it's now just a matter of time before the January transfer window opens.

Manchester United's performance is still not stable. It's impossible to predict when their  attacking palyer will play well.

The Wolves team is at the last position of the points table. They did not win even one of the 14 matches. Against such a team, Manchester United should definitely get 3 points. But Manchester United failed to win against West Ham in the relegation zone in the last match. It may not be easy for United to win the away match against Wolves.
Manchester United lost both of their matches against Wolves last season. Because of this Wolves will be confident in their home match today and they will try to get points.

On a normal, wolves isn't even suppose to stand a chance against Manchester United, and I am honestly believing the match will turn out in favor of Manchester United but we can never be so sure, this is a match I was supposed to bet on but I realised I was spending more time thinking about it and the risk than I am spending to carry out important tasks that matters, so I just had to quit the ideas and just watch the game instead.

Wolves isn't a club to even talk about, their bad performance is on another level and this is what I am hoping Manchester United will capitalise on and beat them, though they (wolves) will try to also capitalise on Manchester United's weakness as well to atlease have a record of a win, but lets see how things turn out.

Since when did football teams begin to weaponize a player's form of expression against them, just to find excuses of not letting them participate in the squad? This was the same thing Mourinho did to Ozil, shattering his career and leaving him with no hope. It's a different case since Salah is already 30+, but if this is how Slot wants to move, then his end is already near.

The recent form of Wolverhampton Wanderers football team is very bad because they could not win any match out of 5 matches which they played against different teams which is very bad sign for that team And opponent team performance is also not good but they won 1 match out of  5 matches and 3 matches were ended with draw result because no team could be dominant in these matches. The head to head performance of both teams is excellent against each other because both teams won 2,2 matches and Man United football team position is up on the table and they have 22 points on the table. Wolverhampton Wanderers team position is very low because that team could not win any match and Could draw only 2 matches out of 14 matches.

Man u must be careful today, they is a saying, 'you can't fall who's laying on the floor' wolves is a bottom of the table club and could be dangerous against remarkable teams like Man U, it going to fetch the club so much clout winning the reds, knowing the odds, it's not certain what will happen, Man have to be much prepared and shouldn't underestimate wolves.

The match between Manchester United and Wolves is not going to be easy at all and I don't think I can convinently predict this match because of the possiblity of these two clubs playing draw. I think staking over 1.5 for the number of goals can look safe for gamblers so you don't take too much risk.
