Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal have 6 matches, where Man City will face (Brighton, Nottm Forest, Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham, West Ham) Arsenal has a schedule against (Wolves, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bournemouth, Man United, Everton) while Liverpool have a schedule (Fulham, Everton, West Ham, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Wolves) from each of these schedules, Arteta troops will experience a slightly more serious problem where the 2 matches are against Chelsea and Man United, so Imo most likely Man City and Liverpool is quite profitable. Just look at how many matches of the remaining 6 matches will leave these two teams behind by 3 points.

We are getting really close to the end of the season now. Klopp is about to leave so he is trying to win one last Premier League title with Liverpool. However after that loss vs Crystal Palace they will need to pray for Manchester City and Arsenal both to get stuck against an obstacle. Will this happen? Maybe with Arsenal but I also doubt Manchester City. 

While all these things are happening Arteta wants to be the coach to put an end to Arsenal's longing for a Premier League title for 20 years. He would be really special if he achieves it just as Xabi Alonso's success at Leverkusen.    Can he do it? He has no luxury of losing points from now on.

Well, Looking at the remaining 6 games of Man City I think they are going to won the league title again this season, because if you check the remaining 6 games I don't think that Man City is going to lose to any of them. however Man City is not even ready to give any clubs a chance of even playing draw with them because arsenal and Liverpool have given them the opportunity remain the defending champion 🏆 of England premier league again this season.

They have the force but i don't want them to win it. I want Liverpool to win the EPL, while Real Madrid to win the UCL. Am not trying to be sentimental here but it's now time for other teams to win the league. Manchester City had not had much impressive performance this season in all the league unlike other seasons. While teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Dortmund had improved in performance which is very impressive i want one of these teams to lift a title.

The dramatic problem during the penalty was also destroying the image for the club too. People are now thinking there are so many little brats and selfish players on chelsea. It's kinda stupid to see how this dramatic penalty was also happening. That's why pochettino was so angry by seeing it happens during the match.
So many irrespects words were also coming from the fans. I think that if some players like jackson, meduku or palmer itself needs to grow up. I only hope chelsea will able to win all of remaining matches. The club can get a chance to participate in the europa league next season.

It will also give chelsea one of easiest way to participate in the UCL through winning europa league. Cold palmer was so spectacular. I was distrusting him caused by palmer has bad performance at the early season.
This time he shows that even a winger can also perform as good as haaland. That will be amazing if palmer will able to secure the golden boat.

Manchester City still has the possibility of winning the treble winner like they did last season, in terms of strength this team is still the same as last season so I think although it is difficult but gradually the percentage of gaining success like last season is getting bigger.

Winning the Premier League is always fierce, especially now that there are 3 teams competing for the title, but it can be seen that the mentality of the Man City team is much better compared to Liverpool and Arsenal, so in the last week, when the pressure is getting higher, it is difficult for the team to produce their best performance.
And now it has been proven, things have turned around in the standings and Manchester City are now at the top of the standings and they are favorites again.

We all know that Chelsea have been performing poorly most especially when playing against weak teams, I was thinking they will be performing poorly in the match but they ended up surprising me in the match, scoring 6 goals in a match is not really easy, Chelsea haven’t been able to score so much goals in any match this season but they surprised everyone in the match, nobody was expected Chelsea to score so many goals in the match, but at least they played well in the match, and Palmer surprised me in the match, I never expected so much goals from Palmer, Palmer is always performing well in most matches.

legacy of the EPL title still belongs to Man City.
I've had someone say this in several other threads and maybe in the next match Arsenal and Liverpool will get another surprise defeat but for Liverpool it's still unpredictable because they still have good experience at the top of the standings while Arsenal I really doubt this team because like what I once said is that no matter how good Arsenal performance is, they will definitely only appear consistent for a while, after that they lose consistently and end up failing to win the title and in fact I think Arsenal have failed this season.
but for Liverpool, for me, they still have a chance because being at the top of the standings in the past provides experience and has the right strategy to be able to try to compete with Man City, even though Guardiola team will not let that happen, but we'll see what will happen.

to get the treble winner title seems a little difficult because this season's performance is not as strong as last season and you can definitely compare how Man City last season looked like they were really the favorites and this season some people still doubt it and if indeed Man City can achieve it again, I have to admit that Guardiola is a great coach.

Better fixtures than Arsenal and Liverpool, which will face strong clubs such as Chelsea or Newcastle and im hopeing that liverpool and arsenal are gonna miss fuckin trhee points again soon. Things are becoming even more exciting because these clubs must win all of their remaining games in order to have a chance at a trophy this season and city is still possible to get a premier league trophy as long as it will able to get perfect result. Totenham was the only strong club on city's fixtures. .
City is also capable of repeating last season's treble-winning performance. City has the potential to set a new record as a team that can back to back win three championships in a row.
It will be so amazing to see that manchester city to perform better.

As long as ange will always still harsh to use high line defensive. Totenham can be easily countered by manchester city. Totenham's gameplay can be predicted easily. Facing it using low block will be enough in order to win the game.


Yet 6 mataches remaning and it's possible for haaland to scores more goals through the easy fixtures. I see that palmer's chance to get the golden bots is lesser compared to the haaland.

A very impressive victory for Chelsea because they seemed to be having fun on the field against a weak club like Everton. I also can't believe that Chelsea was able to destroy Everton with the goals he scored and didn't give Everton any space to counterattack, I admit the game Chelsea in that match was really good. Chelsea were able to control the ball well, although not all of it, most of it was controlled by Chelsea so it was able to make it difficult for Everton who also tried to apply pressure but they couldn't at all and it was the visiting club who felt the pressure quite big because they were unable to break through Chelsea's defense until the end of the match.

This victory brings Chelsea closer to the top 6 ranking, just 3 more points left, so Chelsea has the same points as Newcastle and Manchester United even though their position is currently in 9th place, but Chelsea still has 1 match yet to be played and Chelsea must win. If you want to be in the top 6 and that is a very good improvement for Chelsea this season after going through a series of bad results since last season, this season Chelsea have started to recover and improve themselves.

I didn't say it's going to be easy, but it would be possible if Chelsea was to win all their remaining games including the match with Tottenham who now occupies 5th spot.
Tottenham is still to play against each team from the top 3 (and against Chelsea) so losing 10 points is not impossible.
But then again, Chelsea also has outstanding away matches against Arsenal and Aston Villa, so their chances are purely mathematical.

I didn't expect Liverpool and Arsenal to lose in the same week. Arsenal certainly has a difficult opponent to beat, that's because Aston Villa came with a big mission to win the match. Meanwhile, Liverpool, who dominated the match against Crystal Palace, also failed due to poor finishing, but these are all things that have been worried about for the rest of the season.

Currently Manchester City leads the standings with a 2 point advantage over Arsenal and Liverpool. Manchester City have an easier schedule based on their opponents, but I wouldn't agree to say they are safe. Arsenal have a difficult schedule, that's because they have tough opponents. Meanwhile, Liverpool is likely to make Arsenal drop to 3rd place for the remainder of the season.

Such a tight championship race, right?    After handing the lead over to Manchester City now Arsenal - Liverpool are in trouble. Only 6 weeks left...

The remaining games for Manchester City:

• Brighton (A)
• Nottingham (A)
• Wolves (H)
• Fulham (A)
• Tottenham (A)
• West Ham (H)

Quite many away games to play for them and one of them is against Tottenham. Maybe and hopefully there might a chance for them to lose points.

By the way, the way Palmer performs mesmerizes me. He is going for the Golden Boot seemingly after equalizing the number of goals with Haaland - 20. 

 Chelsea had a great game yesterday and that’s what improvement is all about being able to be good with the ball and when you’re off the ball, you’re able to trap back and defend then get the ball and head to attack. This is what the team showed yesterday and you can see the joy in thr face of the fan’s yesterday as they wished results like this can continue coming in.

 This win was convincing enough as they didn’t just hold on to possession for long rather they made sure they capitalized on every chance they have and that helped them score that huge number of goals and increase their goal difference. Now this kind of win is a statement win for the likes of West Ham, Man United and Newcastle as any mistake from any of them will bring them below to Chelsea. ⁠This win is one that came right on time ahead of their FA Cup Semi Final Clash with Man City. Everton were petty bad as thy tried to keep the ball but I think their defense line wasn’t working at all yesterday as compared to the attack who had pretty number of chances.

  ⁠Cole Palmer, the man of the match who bagged a 2nd career hattrick and in successive EPL games at Stamford Bridge, his hat trick was a perfect one as you can see him using both left foot, right and header in the goals and getting a penalty goal to bring him level on points with Haaland for the Golden Boot. The FA Cup Semi is next and I wish the Chelsea team will be able t make it to another Wembley final, maybe they’ll be able to break the jinx this time.

I think it is not about building a team, but the fact that they may not be able to keep him. If I trusted that they could keep him, then I would say build a team around him that's fine, but what does "build a team around him" really means? It just means go buy other players who are good right? Well, they have to do that with or without Cole anyway, it is not really a difference between those two.

I think Cole Palmer is a superstar in the making, one of the best player in the world right now, easily would put him at top 10 at the moment if you ask me, but because he is at Chelsea and not at a decent team, nobody really sees how good he is. Put that dude at City and you will see how amazing he could be. Lets see how Chelsea will move forward.

Do you expect a win from Everton that will change Chelsea's game?
I don't think so, indeed in that game Chelsea played quite well and even they they they have the ability to create more goals if their attackers are able to take advantage of more opportunities, Everton's performance that continues to deteriorate this season certainly makes it easier for Chelsea to slaughter them in that game besides that I think Everton's poor defense is clearly the reason for the defeat to Everton,  But I don't think Chelsea will be able to maintain their form in the next game and it is not impossible that events like againts Sheffield United and Burnley will happen again in the next game after they managed to get a win this week.

Liverpool's failure to beat Crystal Palace followed by Arsenal suffering the same fate against Aston Villa makes Manchester City now one step closer to winning the trophy this season, Liverpool and Arsenal waste their chances to continue at the top of the table, so I think for now the chances of Arsenal and Liverpool winning the Premier League are getting smaller unless indeed Manchester City will be lose in the remaining matches of their this season.

Everton has been doing their best but the quality of players were saying a lot in that match. To be honest, the dramatic penalty was also making that match became so colorful lol. Chelsea has so many little brats. Everton is still having some chances to keep play in EPL next season.
The performance from the club was so awful. Pochettino has another season to fix it or it will be on the disaster. Todd boehly wants his club to get a perfect result. So, we must be waiting for what things that have already prepared by manchester united soon.

Chelsea has made significant improvement but this is not enough in order to bring the club into the european league spot soon. The club must always win the upcoming game in order to make club will participate in europa league.
This is also helping pochettino to secure his spot as a head coach in chelsea. Everton did a better job in the first leg and this shows that how chelsea improved a lot.

If the performance of Chelsea against Everton came to you as a surprise, it means you have not been watching or following Chelsea recently. Just when no one is looking, Chelsea have picked form probably not as much as the formidable Chelsea but a form that can withstand any team in the Premiership at present. They have managed to solve their problems and have finally discovered their winning strategy.

There is no way Chelsea will qualify for Conference League this season. The gap is too wide so they should just focus on finishing the season strong. They have successfully been able to build a strong team so they should look beyond this season as this season is done. I will keep playing Chelsea on goals as they have been scoring many goals in their matches. At least that will earn me some money and their next match against Arsenal is a sure bet for over 2.5 goals.

Building around Cole Palmer is something that shouldn't be considered, they should build a squad strong enough not to rely on a single person. So what happens when he gets Injured?
There's Mudryk and he is also another excellent player for Chelsea and I believe his time will definitely come. When I watch him play, all I see is Eden Hazard. Also, Chelsea has the name Nkuku this is another top talented player and you want them dwelling on a single player? I can see you talk all because of the current moment.

You'd have to win that game against Tottenham Hotspur to go over Manchester United, maybe, find yourselves playing one of the European Competitions next season.
But I still go on to ask if Mauricio Pochetino is still the right man for the job?

Chelsea's performance in the game against Everton is of course very extraordinary and honestly I did not expect if Chelsea could be so fierce to destroy Everton, indeed Everton is not in their best form this season but honestly it will still be very difficult for a team to beat Everton with a big enough score like yesterday, the victory over Everton actually does not change their position too much in the current Premier League standings,  I think Chelsea played well in that game but I think the Chelsea players looked very silly when they were fighting for penalties and I think Pochettino should manage and advise them to be more mature.

Currently Chelsea are ranked 9th and they need 4 more points to be able to reach the Conference League zone next season, but for sure it will not be easy because after all Chelsea will have to compete with Manchester United, Newcastle and Westham in reaching the last limit of the European competition zone next season, to be honest, seeing Chelsea's current performance that is up and down of course staying in the top 10 is better for them at the end of the season.
