Honestly speaking Chelsea players have really improved they won 4 match in a row, but for me it seems that this their improvement was a bit late for them because if they were be able to perform very well in their past 10 matches like they are performing now I think by now they would have been in 4 or 5 possion in the premier league.

Chelsea, who were previously far in the middle of the table but slowly they began to improve and managed to reach competition in the Europa League zone at this time, although a little late but it is only necessary for Chelsea fans to thank their squad who continue to fight without giving up at all, I think if Pochettino can lift Chelsea previous performance like in recent weeks maybe we will still see their hope to be able to compete for a place in the Champions League zone, honestly before I was quite doubtful if Pochettino could bring Chelsea to a better level because the inconsistency of their game so far was the reason they fell in the league.

Palmer seems to be an important factor in Chelsea current resurgence, but I think the mentality and also the foundation that Pochettino is starting to build with the majority of young players certainly gives hope for Chelsea fans for bright prospects in the future, if you look at the majority of Chelsea players who contain young players at this time, it seems that Chelsea is starting to build a long-term project to still be able to compete in the Premier League in the future.

Chelsea have made a really great progress in the recent times if you have noticed. They are most probably finishing the season in top 6 which secures the Conference League ticket as well. Moreover, there is a chance for finishing at the fifth position as well. However it seems like a really low chance. Because I assume Tottenham wouldn't lose their Sheffield game right? 

Fifth or sixth, Chelsea give hope for next season. Pochettino and all the players must be grateful for Palmer's incredible contribution so far too (22 goals, 10 assists). I'm curious about whether he will get offers this summer and how things will go on after that.

I would assume that City will win the game, it is not going to be a team that could be too difficult to win for them, considering Tottenham game went very scary, I am sensing that this one will be easier. But in a scenario where City somehow drops points in that game, and Arsenal ends up getting the win, and become the champions, we are going to see celebrations we haven't seen in a long time.

To be fair, if City ends up being the champions, which 99% chance that they will be, how happy do you think Manchester fans will be? Considering they already won three in a row, and they even did the treble last year, getting the title this year isn't really that much of a big deal for them, doesn't feel like it would be all that great for them neither. Whereas Arsenal fans would go mad if they somehow get it.

Do you remember that QPR match of Manchester City? It was in the 2011/12 season. I don't remember a more exciting moment than that in the Premier League honestly.    That goal by Aguero to bring the PL trophy to Manchester City and the phenomenal "Aguerooo!" comment. 

I'd really like to witness a similar exciting incident, but this time we should see Arsenal winning the title.


Arteta definitely deserves to given the "Manager of the Season" prize. I respect Guardiola's work too but the thing Arteta has done with this squad is much more valuable. 

Arsenal have no other choice but to hope that the magic from Westham can beat or force draw Manchester City in the game, besides of course Arsenal must also be able to win the game against Everton with a big score to at least they have a better goal difference if later the Premier League champions must be determined through goal difference if if Westham can hold Manchester City to a draw in the last Premier League game of the season,  Despite all that, of course, Arsenal hopes of winning the Premier League this season are very small because after all, Westham is not a worthy opponent to be able to stop Manchester City from winning the championship trophy this season.

Playing at home to Manchester City, of course, Westham will get very strong pressure from Manchester City fans, because indeed the game is of course the final match for Manchester City to win the Premier League this season, besides that Guardiola, who Is only one step again to getting their fourth trophy in a row, of course does not want to make the mistake of underestimating Westham,  So it is certain that Manchester City will field their best squad to destroy Westham in the match while Burying Arsenal dream of winning the Premier League trophy this season.

Like I say a billion times, I envy those players for Chelsea, whatever position they occupy, they definitely deserves it and even more because when you watch how much energy and desire they put into this game this season fighting and backing the manager. Wouldn't even think they would come up to this position when you take a look at how bad they was when the season kicked off. Indeed it's not how far but how well. I love that desire to win and qualify for the European Competitions next season.

One player who has carried them since joining them this season has been Cole Palmer. I'm someone who dislikes Chelsea but my dislike will never make me dislike a lad like Cole Palmer. I see what he brings to the team and his teammates.

I'm not counting on West Ham United same way I did against Tottenham Hotspur. Whatever that wants to happen should happen. Let the best side win come weekend.
Anyways, it's been a beautiful rise and ride for Mikel Arteta and his lads. It's glad to see that they're not that shady and shaky side he took over from since 2019.

Despite the win of Erik Ten Hag, his role as manager for next season is still yet to be decided. And it also seems like, Bayern Munich also has no further plans of parting ways with Thomas Tuchel no more, as his agent was seen with the hierarchies of Bayern Munich Management.

Westham can not achieve anything in that match, so it very likely to see Manchester city winning that game with ease, it is unfortunate that arsenal has missed this opportunity, everton is never going to succumb easily to arsenal, they opportunity was their earlier for arsenal to win this trophy but they messed up, one will say why am sounding this, the record are straight, I have followed Manchester city up for a while, when the EPL trophy is been determined by the result of the final match, Manchester city don't joke with such encounter, so it means that their destiny is in their own hands and they wont lay it off, arsenal must learn how to maintain the lead when they are in first position in the league table if not this mistake will continue to repeat itself. 

Arsenal will definitely hope that West Ham can be a stumbling block for Manchester City but it seems that hope will just be wishful thinking because West Ham currently does not have sufficient performance to stop Manchester City (even this match could be a nightmare for West Ham). Moreover, this is a home match for Man City, clearly, the crowd will provide an advantage and motivation for Man City. Once again Arsenal will fail to get the Premier League trophy, but I think they still deserve appreciation because they really put up fierce resistance in the title race until the final match of this season.

Indeed, so far there is no reason to see Man City losing, so I will not worry about this result, it is clear that Man City will definitely win and lift the trophy as well as winning the EPL for 4 consecutive seasons. With the strength of Pep Guaridola troops against West Ham, they will immediately field their best players in order to maximize results and not want to take risks. Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne will again show their cooperation and score goals.

West Ham is not a tough opponent for City. They also play at home. I'm sure the fans have prepared a championship party at the stadium. The stadium will be filled with people ready to party. This will not provide pressure because City are not facing a strong team. In fact, this will increase the team's confidence to feast on goals and close the season in a fantastic way. I am also very confident in congratulating City at this time. Arsenal is in a bad situation. After Tottenham failed to beat City, Arsenal certainly couldn't hope that West Ham would beat City or draw.

Even though there is still one match left, it seems we are all quite sure that Man City will win the EPL title again this season and they will also celebrate it in their own stadium which will be watched by their fans in the stadium. It will be a very enjoyable match for Man City because The opponents they face are not as tough as before. Man City will not experience so much pressure. Playing at home will increase their self-confidence.

Don't be in a rush to say congratulations right now, we're afraid we'll be pranked but it doesn't seem like Man City, unless it was Arsenal last season who disappointed their fans, this is Man City which has superiority in its performance and there's no doubt about it, so why doubt? It is certain that Man City will return home with the EPL title and also the FA Cup.

For the final match in EPL, Man City will play against West Ham and Arsenal will face Everton. Both Man City and Arsenal will play at their home stadiums. So, we can assume both Man City and Arsenal will have the same chance to win the match. However, if we consider the stats of their opponents, Everton looks more tough because they have good stats in the last 5 matches. Meanwhile for West Ham, it is very unlikely to see them beating Man City since they performed badly recently. According the stats, it is clear that Man City will have a better chance to win EPL trophy. You're right, Man City will celebrate their dramatic championship for this season. It is very unfortunate for Arsenal that they failed again to win EPL trophy. Arsenal must take a big lesson that they must play more consistently, they don't waste too many points again in the next season.

Even though it's late, I think Chelsea's recent good performance means enough for an even better next season for them.
Currently, Pochettino has proven that he has succeeded in making better progress, so it is possible that Pochettino can make Chelsea even better next season.
Chelsea's last match is against Bournemouth and Chelsea will play at home. I think it is very likely that Chelsea can continue their positive trend and maintain their 6th position in the standings, this is the best position that Chelsea has got and no one even thought that Chelsea would be able to rise like this now it's at the end of the end of the season.

Chelsea started the season on a very bad note and that made a lot of people to complain of their performance as well as how poor the club manager has been since the start of the season but just when we think they won't amount to nothing this season, Chelsea ate very likely to play European football next season. Mauricio Pochentino sometime this season said that he's going to help the club improve significantly but he didn't tell us when that improvement is gonna take effect but considering the performance of the Chelsea team in recent matches, it's obvious that he has something cooking for the club's future.
I was one of the persons who initially thought that Mauricio Pochentino shouldn't be allowed to manage Chelsea beyond the current season but with what I've seen so far, I think he'll do better with the team next season.

I talked about Chelsea last week. Their recent performances have been something to write home about. I don't know what Pochettino did in the last few weeks that revived his team but it's working and he should keep doing that. Who would've taught that Chelsea would finish above United after being the 10th position

This is going to be an epic game for Manchester City ho will be looking forward to lifting the trophy at home if they are able to win West Ham United, Personally I think Manchester City playing in frobt of their fans will be more motivation for them because they can't make any mistakes since they understand the implications should they drop a point in the game and since they are able to defeat bigger opponents to stay ahead of Arsenal with 2 points they will give their all to ensure they win and be crowned the champions because they deserve all thry have achieved this season as they have had a decent performance lately. Yes I think they should be getting congratulations already because watching them defeat Tottenham yesterday after being so tensed in the first half, they can overcome West Ham team with ease and be honored with them trophy.

That's 4 wins in a row for Chelsea, but they've woken up a little bit too late to attack the 5th place. Spurs only need 1 point against Sheffield to secure it.
The good news for Chelsea is that they will still qualify for European cup next season (if they don't lose their 6th place to Newcastle in the last round), it's going to be the least prestigious Conference League, but better than nothing.
BUT, if Man City defeats Man Utd in the FA cup final, then the 6th place will qualify for the Europa League and the 7th for the Conference League, so there's still something to play for for teams currently placed 6th-8th.

The final match will be played at the Etihad stadium. It would be a great place to celebrate a championship. City are in the best position to win the EPL this season. They will play West Ham and it is not a difficult opponent for them. I don't expect any surprises as City will be very motivated to win. And you're right City won't have any pressure in the final game. The reason is because they are playing at home. With the support of fans, I am sure City will be able to beat West Ham. It looks like we can congratulate City on winning the EPL title this season.

After seeing the camera go Marcus Rashfords way , am starting to think Manchester United are playing better without him  and this was the same performance against the great Arsenal which could suggest that his either a problem for the team, or team plays better without the big names as everyone has an opportunity to showcase what they have on the pitch. Don't get me wrong, United has enjoyed his services when it mattered the most but at the moment very few are putting in the work to make a difference at United!!

Edit

Rashfords name came up for a Sub
