My 25/26 Premier League predictions-Top 8, Golden Boot Contenders, Bottom 3 and More-

It’s officially been a month into the start of the 25/26 PL season, and although I’m late, I have some very juicy predictions for this season.

Elite ball knowledge alongside various factors contributing to the success of each team and player has enabled me to make a list, which I believe will be right because I say so.

THE TOP 8-

Yes, I made this myself I am not an editor okay

Yes, I made this myself I am not an editor okay

I think the title race this season is going to be between Liverpool, last seasons’ title winners and this season’s highest spender on transfer, and Chelsea, World Champions and the coldest player of all time.

Man city will fall off worse than they did last season, Pep’s not only losing more of his hair but also his managerial flair-just look at how well Grealish is playing without him.

Arsenal winning the league is as likely as Atleti beating Real Madrid in a UCL final. Arteta stage 4 here we go! maybe a carabao or an FA cup, great run in the UCL but the second place merchants will have to settle 3rd this year round

Crystal palace have already won their second trophy of their existence this year, and despite the exit of star player Eze, I believe in their over-all growth and consistency in their league as a whole club.

Spurs won actually won a trophy, and Richarlison is finally playing with real consistency and flair this time, their new manager will lead them to new heights

Sunderland spent over 30M$, and their recent success and adaptation make me certain that even a newly promoted team will do better than Man-United this season.

GOLDEN BOOT CONTENDERS

VICTOR GYOKERES , ERLING HAALAND AND MOHAMMED SALAH

are all the top contenders. Gyokeres has just arrived from Portugal, but has already proved just how prolific he is with 3 goals in 4 games.

Mo Salah of course, won it last season, but with the overburden of stars at LFC It’s expected that the goals will be more equally distributed.

Erling Haaland the robot has won it twice and was second last season, but Man City’s overall poor form casts doubts upon if Haaland has the neccesary tools to succeed.

Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer are all less favored upon, but definetly worthy contenders of the Golden boot.

BOTTOM 3-

Wolves have basically sold or let go of their main starting XI, and any hope of them remaining in the PL is very little.

Yes, Burnley signed Kyle Walker, but neither their manager or a majority of their players have neither the mindset nor the skills for success

Leeds honestly have a very high chance of staying at the top, but I feel that their exclusion from the Pl these past 2 seasons might prove their inexperience towards the more important days of a relegation battle.
