I also miss Arsenal getting a title, because they haven't won the Premier League title for 20 years. And even though Manchester City is 1 game ahead of Arsenal, hopefully Tottenham can beat Manchester City and this match will be the final for Manchester City, if Manchester City wins against Tottenham then they will become champions.
Even though it is unlikely that Totemham can beat Manchester City, anything can still happen.
And Tottenham also still has the chance to get Champions League tickets if they can beat Manchester City and Sheff Utd, because Aston Villa also still have tough matches left, they will host Liverpool and will also visit Crystal Palace.
It may be too quick to assume that it is over for Arsenal this season because the league is still open and can go either side.  A little look at the remaining matches will show that the chances of Man City losing a match is higher than that of Arsenal. Man City will play Tottenham and West Ham and either of them can win Man City or at least hold them to a draw and this will automatically make Arsenal win the league because Arsenal is ahead in goal difference. 

Arsenal have only one match to play which us against Everton and they will easily win the match because Everton is always an easy team for them based on their past meetings. So it is not over for Arsenal yet.

Arsenal could have actually won by a bigger goal difference yesterday. Goal difference in general is really important for the championship indeed. In a situation with same points the final week is going to be really interesting to watch. Currently there is only a difference of three goals between Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings.

Manchester United were really desperate in that game and they are lucky about not conceding more goals. Arsenal wasted tons of opportunities. Havertz said that he would be one of the biggest Tottenham fans tomorrow.  Tongue  All Arsenal players and fans will be like that for sure.

Goals difference could be a deciding situation for the title race. It's normal to see fans expecting the best for their team. Manchester United played a good game against Arsenal, but it would still be a surprise if Manchester united was able to get a point in this game. One goal win is still a three points gain, but Arsenal really wasted some chances to have a better goals difference.

This is the last big six team Arsenal have to play against. It's understandable that Arsenal played with more carefulness, because Manchester United was the biggest threat for Arsenal to drop points. It's impressive for Arsenal to keep their fighting spirit in their effort to stay in the title race. They can't let any small chance of City dropping points go uncapitalize.    

I have always looked towards that as a means for Arsenal to win the Premier League Competition. But its okay with three poi if they cannot get those goals, one last game against Sean Dyche and Everton lads at home in presence of the fans I'm sure Everton will want to be compact.
Eveton is also a club who deserves them flowers because despite all of thr point deduction and stuff's they're still in a good position band place safe from relegation.
I think, if Sean Dyche is supported with some quality players that suits his style he will do excellent next season.

It's also been a long time, since Arsenal did the double against Manchester United, you don't know how much those gunners valued this win even with a single margin.
They have fought for this, they have earned it, they definitely deserves it

As for the game tonight, Aston Villa will want to defeat Liverpool to seal them place on the top four but will that be possible? Jurgen Klopp has to keep a clean slate as he decides to leave even if he is no longer in the fight for the  Premier League Competition next season.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will be supporting Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night, but Manchester City are definitely going away from home, they have to be very cautious. I can remember Antonio Conte's side defeating them some seasons back with good numbers. Could this be another, it all depends on how focus theey be for this game.

Three points are important, but they were correct that having a lot of GD is essential caused by we can't really sure if arsenal will lead the competition by having more points. I. If Manchester City wins convincingly against Tottenham Hotspur and i think that having same points may possible to happen for arsenal and city. Arsenal could still lose the title race because City will have a better GD or GF than Arsenal and it has concerned by the gunners fans. The worst-case scenario is that Arsenal lose the title race because they score fewer goals than Manchester City at the end of last matchday.
They are correct that winning the game by scoring a lot is essential in a highly competitive environment like this one. United did their best to prevent Arsenal from winning but Arteta changed his strategy in the second half in order to keep its win from united.

He puts a lot of players in front of the goalkeeper to maintain his team's lead in the scoring against Manchester United and arsenal was always deflected united's attack. If I were an Arsenal fan, I would hope that the team takes any chances such as winning the game or scoring a lot of goals in order to get a save zone when club is having same points to the city. it's not something wrong by being salty with the result.
This is extremely important for Arsenal because it will be instrumental in determining the club's chances of winning the trophy this season.

I can imagine how disappointed Arsenal fans will be if the club fails to win a trophy this season. Arsenal is not a huge club.

Well Arsenal were able to get their win against Man United yesterday but it wasn’t convincing enough. Yes in this their tight race with Man city they’re to understand that as 3 points is key so also is getting the huge goal difference margin also key in their race to winning the league. Now they have given City the edge here because if City goes on to defeat Tottenham with a 3-0 scoreline then you can understand how that gives Mam City the good edge as against Arsenal in the chase. Chasing 3 points is very important but also building up goal differences isn’t to be overlooked because they could hurt you on the final day.

 ⁠Man United too must be commended for their performance against Arsenal it was real top notch and one I enjoyed every minute of it and I think this goes to show that this United side shouldn’t be underestimated. They still have a shot for Europa League that’s in the FA Cup final and you can expect it will be a great showdown for them against Man city.

 ⁠For Arsenal fans, I think their disappointment started when they lost to Aston Villa, that game thwarted their chances and now you can say the chance of them winning is just 25% and I think they can have a good shot at it next season but it’s all over this season as City will be crowned champions.

still a head to head fight between arsenal and manchester city, but the guardiola's team has one more game to play.

Anything can happen but most likely by now the title has been won once again by Pep's team.
We need to understand whether Guardiola will leave at the end of this season or at the end of next season.
Yeah,  just like I did mention in some of my previous comments, that one game that Manchester city have which they are yet to play is what gave them an edge over Arsenal, if not for that, like assuming Manchester city and Arsenal both had the same number of games lefts to play, from what is currently the result achieved respectively by both clubs, we could have for sure said that Arsenal are going home with the title this season, and for me, nothing would have been more exciting than this, for I have longed to see Arsenal win the title, for it's been a while, and they have worked really hard for it, beginning from last season.

But then and unfortunately, Manchester city aren't going to give up, except like I would always say, if a miracle happens that they lost or drew one of their remaining games, then that indeed will favor Arsenal and give them a way better chances of coming out as the Victors if this season's Premier league title champions.
But on the other hand, if Arsenal end up losing the title this season, by ending the season in the second place, that also is still a good achievement, and hope they will put more efforts to win it next season.

I see some Arsenal fans IRL speaking bitter and being salty about their team not getting a high GD in this game against man utd forgetting that the 3 points would be very pivotal to their title challenge if city loses points in their last 2 remaining games. I expected man utd to put up a fight but I would've been pleasantly surprised if Arsenal ended up losing more points to Man Utd even though it was a very hard task to go and do. It would be very bad if this arsenal team fails to win the PL title two years in a row despite coming super close.

Talking about goal difference between Arsenal and Manchester City in their title race, the gunners still have a better goal difference ahead of Manchester City with 3 goals difference so if Manchester City should draw any of their past two league games, there's every possible that Arsenal will finish the season as English Premier League title winners.
The Arsenal fans that were furious because their club failed to score plenty goals against Arsenal simply do not know how difficult it is to play against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Mikel Arteta needed three points to remain in good position that might see his team win the league at the final match day of the season and he definitely got the all important three points so I think it's baseless and needless for Arsenal fans to be blaming the team for failing to win the game with high margin

This Manchester United team that has showed up today is playing a very impressive game such that Arsenal  has been put under pressure & limiting their attacking  chances, and if they played like this every weekend I don't think United would have been far back from the top four club's. Btw, if you ask me United look hungry to stop Arsenal from getting an easy 3 points that would push them closer to the EPL title but let's see how this goes...

Edit :

Arsenal found the back of the net, now we have a game on our hands...
Manchester United did a great job and arsenal was pressured and the only luck that arsenal had was the fact that they scored first and also early if not for that the game might end draw because they will find it difficult to score.  Even before the game I was sure that arsenal was going to win but there win is no use. Because when we play against Tottenham it’s a win for us. And if not that arsenal was not given much chance they would have beaten Manchester United the same way they defeated Chelsea. And why am not worried is because it’s only one point so In our next game we are adding point then we are going to be celebrated as champions.

Well , you're right. United had their best game in the last 2 months I would say but it was still not enough to take 1 point or even score once against Arsenal and overall , the team who had more desire to win ended up as winners. Now for Arsenal the real title race has begun and every single mistake from City or from them will basically cost the title but hopefully the title race will be going on until last game where honestly I do expect Arsenal to be crowned as champions of EPL 23/24 season.  Cool
I actually expected more from Arsenal no doubt, maybe cause Manchester United fooled throughout the season so I had no option looking down on Manchester United. Great performance from both team, Manchester United dominated excellent with countless chance and yet no goal is actually surprising. Arsenal at the other hand defended greatly making the match look tense and tough although Arsenal managed to secure 3 points against Manchester United and Everton left to face Arsenal this season. I’m rooting for Arsenal this season and I hope to see Arsenal win the title hopefully.

They didn't put Arsenal under no pressure,. Arsenal only managed this game and played it with so much caution from the first half to the second half yet again another clean sheet and win for the gunners this evening.

I was impressed with Manchester United fans as they supported these players from the beginning to the end of the game. Sofyan Amrabat also had a great game, I hope to see him this confident and comfortable in the middle when Manchester United goes on to play that finals against Manchester City.

In between, I was happy for thr lads today. They did them best and those who want Erik Ten Hag would see him leaving if the club decides and it will be a win for him because Bayern Munich ate heavily chasing after him. Hungry but was precise and decisive during the game today.

I did make a prediction for Trossad to score in this game earlier today, yes?
I really know how to do this thing, I just forget alot to stake.

Great job by Arsenal! That performance definitely deserved the victory there. Manchester United played as usual. Their game was ineffective and it would have been a pity if they stole a point from Arsenal today.

Now Arsenal are once again ahead by 1 point. However there are only 2 days left for Manchester City to play their absent match vs Tottenham away. This is going to be the decider for the champion.

If Tottenham cause them a loss of points, this pretty much secures the PL title for Arsenal - score difference will still be important though in case of equal points. Otherwise it is over guys. No way Manchester City would lose points home vs West Ham after that.  Sad

If you look at Manchester United's performance in the game just now, I think Arsenal was lucky enough to score in the first half, Arsenal was indeed able to win 3 points in today's game but if you look at Manchester United's performance, of course they are better than Arsenal, before the game started, many of us here might think that in that game there will be a lot of goals because of Manchester United's poor performance this season,  But instead we see if Manchester United are able to show extraordinary play in the game after they were able to press Arsenal throughout the game, if we look at Manchester United's failure in today's game of course we know if the final solution is their problem.

Arsenal managed to get 3 points in today's match while continuing their positive trend to be able to continue to compete with Manchester City in winning the championship trophy, one more difficult game they have won and now only Everton are left as their opponents in the remaining matches of the season, on paper of course Arsenal will be able to get full points from everton later, but still they must be able to win big  and still hope Manchester City draw or lose in one rest match.

Maybe if they win and help the City reach for the trophy, maybe the City will reciprocate and let them win the FA Cup final round.

Mate, I would never expect Manchester City to play more complacently in the FA Cup finale honestly.  Tongue  Guardiola is a very ambitious manager. Especially after getting eliminated from the Champions League like that, he is much more focused on the remaining tournaments. He would surely want to finish the season with two titles.

Otherwise I would really like to see Manchester United achieving something in this poor season. They are likely to stay out of any tournament places in the Premier League. In that case the FA Cup is the only way for achieving some success. But realistically, I dont expect this to happen.
Manchester City is not an easy opponent for Man United this season, we can see that Manchester United in the League they are really having difficulties this season, actually my heart is very sad to see Manchester United at the moment, but this squad has many players who are injured, p. this makes it difficult for this team to win at the moment.

However, we have to look more deeply at this Final, especially as these two teams are very prestigious, anything can happen, Manchester United will also put in their efforts to make their supporters smile, it is not impossible that Manchester United can beat Man City at Wembley Stadium, and see for yourself that Manchester is red.

I totally agree with you, Manchester United have been on the attacking side, putting arsenal under undue pressure, this is something I haven't seen in a while from the gunners . There is these Manchester United youngster called amad that has been dribbling incredibly from the right wing and creating little chances for united but yet they've not been able to get to the back of the net. However a lot of people believe that this is a home game and it will be ideal for united to at least get a draw. Arsenal are on the another hand a team that has known how to perfect their goal scoring pattern, they've so far maintained a 1-0 win for this first half in a game that looks as if they're struggling to get up on their feet.

Manchester United play at home tomorrow, and it won't be easy for Arsenal to win. Erik Ten Hag wants to play in the Europa League next season, and how Chelsea is playing this season, they have already picked up form, and if Manchester United loses to Arsenal tomorrow, it will be the end because I don't think they can top Chelsea in the league table anymore, and Manchester United will not have the opportunity to play in the Europa League with others, Newcastle are also doing well, and I believe Chelsea can finish sixth this season.
If Manutd lose to Arsenal it doesnt mean that Manutd chances to join the Europa competition is gone.
Maybe you dont know that the winner of the FA Cup will get 1 ticket to the Europa League, and if the winner of the FA Cup is confirmed to qualify for the Champions League, then top 5th and 6th in the League will compete in the Europa League.
And the top 7th in the league will compete in the Europa Conference League.



Chelsea still have to away to Brighton and Im not sure they can get 3 points from there.
And next week, there is a match Manutd vs Newcastle - so Manutd chances is not over yet even if they lose to Arsenal tomorrow.




Chelsea has a slim chance of qualifying for the Europa League next season because there is still newcastle that has the same points as chelsea. I'm not even being pessimistic about it, but we'll also be aware of the fact that if there are Newcastle there and this is the main competitor for chelsea at this moment to get europa league spot. I meant that even if Newcastle and Chelsea have the same number of points, Newcastle is more likely to qualify for the Europa League than Chelsea because newcastle has scored more compared to the chelsea. This is gonna help newcastle a lot. 
Newcastle will score more goals than Chelsea. It means the Blues must pray that both Newcastle and Tottenham lose all of their points at the same time. This will be extremely beneficial to the Blues' chances of qualifying for the Europa League this season.
The Blues must have won all of their remaining games. I don't think Brighton will be a problem for Chelsea. The blues were capable enough to destroy Newcastle, which was even stronger than Brighton.

Expect the race between the Blues and Newcastle to last until the final match day results. Totenham is likely to miss three points in the coming games. This will significantly reduce Chelsea's and Newcastle's chances of qualifying for the Europa League.
The conference league isn't so bad compared to getting nothing this season. Pochettino has a plan for that.
