Premier League Power Rankings: The 5 most likely teams to be relegated in 2025/26

We’re two weeks into the 2025-26 Premier League season, and it’s already looking like it will be one of the most competitive in recent history. There are three teams fighting for the title and at least eight who could challenge for the top four. Let’s look at the other side of the table, though. Here are the five teams most likely to be relegated this season.  Wolves Wolves have been tipped to go down for at least a couple seasons now. They’ve managed to avoid the drop, and I think they’ll do the same this season. That said, this is set to be their toughest Premier League campaign in some time.  Matheus Cunha scored or assisted nearly 40% of Wolves’ league goals last season and Rayan Aït-Nouri is one of the best attacking full-backs in the Premier League. Losing them will be difficult...

Premier League Predictions: The 5 most likely managers to be fired before 2026 begins

The 2025-26 Premier League season has kicked off, and several managers are already on the hot seat. Some of them won’t be around for much longer. Here are the five managers most likely to be fired before 2026 begins. 5. Ruben Amorim (Manchester United) Since Sir Alex Ferguson, every new Manchester United manager has been told he’ll be given time to build. Yet, not a single one has lasted more than 30 months in charge. A third of them didn’t even make it more than a year.  Ruben Amorim has been given the same assurances from new Man Utd owner INEOS, but, based on how his team has performed so far, it’s not hard to imagine him as the next Red Devils’ boss whose project is cut short.  The former Sporting CP boss somehow made Man Utd worse than they were under Erik ten Hag.  United los...

Premier League Predictions: The biggest question for each Big 6 club in 2025/26

The Premier League is underway, but there’s still enough time to interrogate the league’s top teams. Here is one question for each Big 6 club that could decide their seasons.  Manchester United: Who plays in midfield? Ruben Amorim’s first half-season at Manchester United was plagued by every problem imaginable. As David Moyes once said, Man Utd “must improve in a number of areas, including passing, creating chances and defending.” The Red Devils addressed some of those issues in attack by spending €225m to sign Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha. The defense was already in decent shape and should remain so this season (provided key players stay healthy). Goalkeeper is another issue, but Andre Onana is at least serviceable. That just leaves the midfield.  So far, Amorim...

The 10 best young Bundesliga players to watch in the 2025/26 season

Perhaps no league in world football has a bigger reputation for building top young talents than the Bundesliga, and that's because clubs like Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach, Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig, and, of course, Borussia Dortmund have made it a regular habit of signing and developing young players into superstars. But even the most historic and successful club in the German top flight, Bayern Munich, has produced more than its fair share of homegrown elite players, including five-time Champions League winning center midfielder Toni Kroos. The Bundesliga is almost like a factory for talent to the other big leagues in Europe, especially the Premier League, and Liverpool alone spent well over 200 million euros this summer on two of the biggest German league talent...

The top 10 Premier League transfers under £25M in the 2025 summer window

Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and all the other top clubs in the Premier League have made major headlines this summer transfer window by splashing serious cash on big names like Florian Wirtz, Bryan Mbeumo, Viktor Gyokeres, and Joao Pedro this summer transfer window. But there were so many other quality signings made in this window so far that could go a long way in shaping relegation battles, the fights for the Conference League, and perhaps even the battles in the top five, including the Premier League title race. So in the spirit of the moves that didn't get quite the same press, let's break down the best 10 transfers of the 2025 summer window that cost teams under 25 million pounds. And because free transfers are too obvious, let's only look at the moves that ca...

Ranking the 5 Best Striker Transfers of the 2025 Premier League Summer Window So Far

Pretty much every top club in the Premier League was after a new No. 9 this summer, as there's been a clear gap in the quality at the striker position in the English top flight - and in world football as a whole - when comparing the names of today to the strikers gracing the pitch 10-20 years ago. So Premier League sides were busy trying to snag new strikers in the summer 2025 transfer window, and there were plenty of splashes to be made around the top (and a certain team in the bottom) half of the table. Here are the five best striker transfers of the summer 2025 window thus far. 5. Liam Delap to Chelsea Ipswich Town were a predictable disaster last season and totally overmatched for the Premier League, but they did have a couple of young gems, including Liam Delap at striker. ...

Ranking Every Bundesliga Manager From Worst To First In 2025/26

The Bundesliga is entering 2025/26 with one of its most unpredictable managerial lineups in years. Proven, elite coaches are rare. This is a league now led by cult heroes like Steffen Baumgart at Union Berlin and rising tacticians like Bo Henriksen at Mainz. While clubs like Bayern Munich and, presumably, Bayer Leverkusen aim for titles, most teams are betting on energy, identity, and upside over big names. In this ranking, we evaluate every Bundesliga manager from worst to first based on tactical quality, squad fit, and realistic expectations. It’s a season where reputations will be made—or broken—from the dugout. 18. Lukas Kwasniok, Koln A decent enough coach for SC Paderborn, Lukas Kwasniok has no real successful track record as a manager. He's never coached in the Bundesliga, a...
