The final round was quite predictable, but not going to lie, I' was a bit surprised by the consistent win streaks of both top teams in the final stages.
Winning streaks of 6 for Arsenal and 9 for Man City were, statistically speaking, quite unlikely to happen in such a strong league. I was expecting them to show some season fatigue, similar to Liverpool, who were hanging in there for a long time, but couldn't withstand the pressure and dropped out of the title race.
Both teams can be proud of their performance, sadly, the winner could be only one.

I think it's quite difficult to guess because we need the last match to determine who will be the champion. Because since the middle of the season there has been quite fierce competition between Arsenal and Manchester City where these two teams have shown quite good performances until the end of this season. However, as you said, Manchester City is still quite strong and managed to improve their performance towards the end of the season. Manchester City deserves to make new history because their hard work is very consistent and full of ambition.

Arsenal has made us full of pressure with their good performance, even many of us wanted to see Arsenal become champions but they failed again. The Arsenal players certainly feel sad and they can't believe that this season they still failed to become champions. Now, speaking of Pep Guardiola, he will stay with Manchester City for next season, I think if Pep Guardiola is still with Manchester City, of course they are still strong enough to maintain their good performance and there is a possibility of retaining the championship title.

So last week I predicted a final day drama that didn't get to happen because Foden was quick to put City in front before West ham could even settle down at the Etihad. Arsenal on the other hand had a hard time winning Everton at home. For most part of the season half, I thought they'd settle for a draw since City was already up during the halftime as that alone was enough to break their spirits.

Guardiola and his City team simply don't afford any slip ups when they get in that winning mode, eh? Damn.

You're right. Man City becomes the champion was predicted by most of people since the early of the season. Although Arsenal and Liverpool ever lead the EPL standings, they are not strong enough to survive until the end of the season.

Well, since the arrival of Guardiola in Man City in July 2016, Man City already won EPL title since the season of 2017-2018. They only failed to win the title in the season 2019-2020. In that season, Liverpool won the title, Man City was in a runner up position. After that, Man City won the EPL title for the next 4 seasons in a row. Man City is too strong for EPL teams. 

I'm sure Pep Guardiola won't have a chance to leave Man City as long as he has a contract with Man City. His contract will expire in June 2025, so he must stay in Man City for the next season. I am very sure Guardiola has no reason to leave Man City now. He gets everything in Man City, he even has no problem there.

Yes, Arsenal has made a great effort at least. Arsenal almost wins the title this season. However, Arsenal is still unlucky that they have injured problems toward the end of the season. So they missed to get full points in some matches.

So true but I had high hopes for Arsenal to actually win this EPL title this year but with how City played today I must say they deserved to be champions 110% and that is coming from an United fan.

Also true , they are the strongest by far and I'm a bit surprised that they scored only 3 goals today because the score could have been very well 7-0 just in first half.

Isn't his dream to actually coach a national team ? I think he said that a few years ago that he wants to coach Brazil if I remember well and I think Brazil deserve to be World Champions once again or maybe he will actually coach Spain as that won't surprise anyone , right ? 

what happened in the premier league was predictable.

Manchester City is clearly the strongest team in England and has won for the fourth time in the last five years.

We now need to see what will happen with Guardiola, not long ago he announced that he would leave either at the end of this year or at the end of next year.

Honor to Arsela who tried until the end but it wasn't enough.

Klopp saying goodbye to Liverpool after a wonderful 9 years stay is a big one and you can see how he’s greatly improved this Liverpool side and you know why the club, fans will miss him. In his 9 years stay, he won the EPL twice and also won them the UCL, which was able to put the club back on the radar of big clubs in Europe.

 Though he was only able to win the EFL this season, I don’t think this will stop the Liverpool fans from not singing his praises whilst they play their final match of the season at Anfield this evening. He’s improved the face of the team and thebway the team played made them so feared, he also made Anfield one mighty fortress for clubs coming to play in there.

 Slot has been appointed and from that you understand how much the new board of this Liverpool team are clear on the type of football they want. I think they’re one board that just go directly for what they want rather than chasing shadows and you can see that with the signing of Slot. Well the fans can’t wait to see what he has for them as they will want him to build on what Klopp has laid down as that will easily bring about team’s success rather than starting afresh. Well he’s in charge and whatever decision he takes, I think the fans will appreciate him and give him the applauds the deserve.

I'm one of the people who despite knowing fully well that West Ham aren't going to match the strength of Manchester City in their last league game of the season, were still expecting dramatic result in the game because of our love and wish for an Arsenal triumph but unfortunately they failed to do the unthinkable. This is the closest Arsenal have come to winning the English Premier League title since they last won it 20 years ago so I think it should rather serve as a morale booster to the club manager instead of feeling too disappointed.
Mikel Arteta have done exceptionally well since he took over the managerial role at the club and I believe he'll continue to improve the club and his personal managerial experience going forward. Arsenal in my own opinion are definitely going to win the league in few seasons from now of Mikel Arteta continues to remain at the club.

West Ham still did their best but it was too difficult to hold off Manchester City just as I expected. With a 0.37 xG, West Ham were nearly scoring their second goal. This was a better performance than I expected from them.    Unfortunately Arsenal have said goodbye to the Premier League title once again. It is really sad to see them sharing the same fate after all that effort. 

The thing I feared happened. That Aston Villa loss cost Arsenal the title. If that ended up with a win now we were going to talk about Arsenal making history. Anyways, Arteta has done his best for sure.

As we continue to say before, if indeed Manchester City will easily dominate Westham because the quality of the two teams is much different at this time, since the game started, Manchester City immediately tried to suppress Westham defense and the result without waiting long they were able to score 1 goal through Foden and make Arsenal fans in other matches just like losing motivation,  Westham have given all their ability in the game but indeed to prevent Manchester City from winning is of course impossible for them to do, but I think Westham performance  in that game quite well especially after the goal of Salto Kudus was created.

The match between Manchester City vs Westham has ended with Manchester City winning, although in other matches Arsenal was also able to win but still Manchester City managed to win the Premier League for the fourth time in a row, Arsenal who again had to end the season in the runner up position was of course quite disappointed because like last season they also had to lose the championship title at the hands of Manchester City,  But despite these failures, I think Arsenal continue to transform into a better team every season and most likely we will also see them again as contenders for the Premier League title next season.

Westham players know that if they can do nothing in this game. This is why they drop three points. It was better caused by city is far above it in all of aspects. Westham has lost its spirit after rodri was scoring another goal for city. All of my respects for everton if the club will able to force the result to get draw.

It seems like that everton's parking bus has been making arsenal's players frustrated. Im very happy with this result. Manchester city once again winning EPL title 4 times in a row. This is really amazing result from manchester city.

Arsenal needs a miracle to win the game against everton.

I was fearing that West Ham might put everything on defence and that it could take a while for the City to score the first goal, but happy to report that I was wrong.
Foden only needed 2 mins to give his team the lead and in 18th he scored the 2nd one.

Looks like there won't be any last-minute surprises at the top. Man City is clearly dominating with 83% possession and 9 shots on goal already.

And Foden has scored another goal just now!    It is 2-0 already after leaving 20 minutes behind. My question now, is there still anyone who believes in West Ham to make a huge comeback. I guess there isn't.

West Ham are one of the worst teams in defense in the Premier League this season. This is a fact. 70+ goals conceded... This is just terrible statistics.    Otherwise I would really like to see Arsenal becoming the champions after 20 years. But they will have to wait for at least another season. I still admire Arteta's work of course. He has done a superb job so far by keeping his team in the title race until the end of the season.

Ladies and Gentlemen with that early Phil Foden goal that is how Manchester City won the title, and looking at the Westham players body language, I honestly don't see any comeback from these lads and Arsenal too is finding it hard to break Everton who won't hand it out easy to them and am pretty sure they know what's happening at the Etihad but I expect both City and Arsenal to win their games...

Let's go Citehhh...

Yes, at least there is still hope, even though it is only a small possibility, we also don't know what will happen in the next match, but it seems true that Man City will mobilize all their players to win the EPL title because Man City has failed in the UCL so they will try hard to at least won the EPL title this season and will also win the FA Cup if Man City can beat Man U in the final match which will end the EPL season.

I can't even hope that West Ham can make it difficult for Man City, even Tottenham can't do it, so I don't think West Ham can do it by using all their players. Man City will be a strong club on the pitch and I think they will celebrate it lively in the stadium. Etihad together with Man City fans who watched the match.

This is one of the most annoying experience I've had so far in football, how can arsenal posses the opportunity of winning the EPL title 2 consecutive times and then just gave it out due to their careless nature. If you observe closely they ran out of form for just a short while, yet it was still the same formation and players. It's certain that Manchester city would be taking the EPL today because western ham can't stand the pressure from the city.

Klopp has decided to take a break in the meantime in coaching the club and of course so far we don't know when he will return to coach the club, maybe he will have a reason that can be said the same as Zidane continues to say when there are other teams who want to recruit him as a coach, now we can say if Klopp is the most successful coach ever in charge of Liverpool,  As we know so far, if Liverpool have had zero titles before for 30 years but since Klopp come in 2015, Klopp has managed to make Liverpool a team that is quite tough and able to compete in the race for the Premier League and Champions titles so far.

But unfortunately Klopp farewell this season with Liverpool did not have a sweet impression after Liverpool ended this season without a prestigious trophy, but I think it will not reduce the love of Liverpool fans for Klopp Considering all the achievements he has given so far to Liverpool, Arne Slot who has confirmed that he will coach Liverpool next season has certainly made all speculation as to who Liverpool next coach has ended,  Arne Slot and Liverpool have officially teamed up to undergo competition next season. 

I think we're about to witness one of the toughest season by next summer, Arteta has shown that he learnt from the best and is bent on giving Arsenal the EPL trophy after so many years, Pep still thinks he'll be very dominant in the EPL just like Sir Alex did at United and would even want to still prove that next season if he wins this present season's EPL today, United themselves are working on getting back to glory days are have recruited the best men in the management of sporting areas of the club, Kloop might be leaving Liverpool but we don't know the fire the next coach is bringing he might be as tough as Arteta and Pep, Chelsea would be much more better than this season in the next if their players are very fit from the beginning and they recruit a very good top 9, Aston Villa just joined the race and have secured themselves the UCL we all know Unai Emery would recruit some good legs to help them challenge well for next season. My thought is that, it's going to be a very tough and interesting season and the battle for top 4 would be fierce.

The deciding match should be very tough and we don't want it to look easy for Manchester City, although we know that when Pep Guardiola will make this match serious then there is no chance for Arsenal to expect West Ham to put up a fight. Apart from the very high chances of Manchester City and on the other hand Arsenal also have to focus on getting 3 points. Competing at the same time, of course both teams are equally curious to know the score in their respective matches. Today everything will be history if Manchester City wins 4 seasons in a row, whereas if Arsenal is lucky then this title is very, very special. No one knows who can get out easily, obviously I am still on the side of Man City betting.
