The Premier League is back, and here at NoteSphere, we’re buzzing. Nothing brings more debate, drama, and bold claims than the start of a new season. Instead of just talking about it in passing, we decided to put it all down, our official predictions.

From top-five finishes to wild takes that could age like fine wine (or milk), we asked team members to lock in their calls for the 2025/26 campaign. At the end of the season, we’ll see who’s a fraud and who isn’t.

Here’s what they had to say:

1. Predicted Top 5

• Hodovss: Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City
• Skii: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City
• Tobybanksz: Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United
• Emaxee: Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Crystal Palace

2. Golden Boot Winner

• Hodovss: Haaland
• Skii: Viktor Gyökeres
• Tobybanksz: Mo Salah
• Emaxee: Isak if he joins Liverpool, Ekitike if he doesn’t

3. Player Stocks You’re Buying

• Hodovss: Mason Mount, Patrick Dorgu
• Skii: Viktor Gyökeres
• Tobybanksz: Kudus
• Emaxee: Rio Ngumoha

4. Players You’re Hating On

• Hodovss: Enzo Fernandez
• Skii: Cole Palmer
• Tobybanksz: All Chelsea players
• Emaxee: Groceries (already in hate mode)

5. Wildest Take of the Season

• Hodovss: United will win 7 straight games
• Skii: Manchester United finish outside the top 10 again
• Tobybanksz: Sesko, Mbeumo and Cunha will combine for 40 EPL goals
• Emaxee: Arsenal to reach the UCL final… but lose

6. African Star to Shine Brightest

• Hodovss: Bryan Mbeumo
• Skii: Mohamed Salah
• Tobybanksz: Mo Salah
• Emaxee: Mo Salah

7. Signing of the Season

• Hodovss: Bryan Mbeumo
• Skii: Viktor Gyökeres
• Tobybanksz: Wirtz
• Emaxee: Ekitike (Isak, if he signs for Liverpool)

Closing Note

Some of these takes may be spot on, others will look ridiculous. That’s the beauty of football.

Whether it’s Gyökeres tearing up the league, Mo Salah keeping his crown, or Manchester United winning (or losing) seven on the bounce, the season promises twists we can’t script. One thing’s certain: the banter will be relentless.

See you in May when we bring these predictions back.
