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.


 

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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...

As they say: "don't cry because it ended, smile because it happened". Luton making it to the Premier League was a success on its own. Pretty big achievement for a club that was playing in League Two only a few years ago.
They had some good games this season and hopefully gained a lot of experience that will help them get promoted again.


Yup, good spot. And all the teams relegated from the EPL last season occupied top 4 places in the Championship, 2 of them will be back in the EPL, Southampton came a bit short. This shows there was (still is?) a big gap between those 2 divisions.

Mate, I would never expect Manchester City to play more complacently in the FA Cup finale honestly.    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.

Mikel Arteta knows that the only result that'll keep his Arsenal team in a good position to win the English Premier League title this season is to get all three points in their game against Manchester United this afternoon any failure to do so will definitely cost him the league title as their biggest rivals are currently two points ahead of them with two more matches to play.
Manchester United is a very strong team with a lot of quality players that can easily win games on their for the team especially today that they're gonna be playing at home but I strongly believe that Arsenal will get the win today because of their superior record this season against Manchester United in terms of form and performances. The game will be played in Old Trafford and because of the long standing rivalry between the two clubs, Manchester United fans in the stadium will be in their loudest voices supporting their team but that I don't think is going to stop Arsenal players from putting in their best and getting the all important win

Exactly, this means handing over the PL title easily to Manchester City. Even now Arsenal are in trouble because of that Aston Villa loss.    I'd really like to see Arsenal as the champions. The last title was 20 years ago, it's a huge break. If Arsenal weren't one of the top teams of the PL then I wouldn't have seen any problem in that.

But I believe this is a serious issue. Arsenal have a more different transfer policy than other top teams though. But Arteta has showed even with youngsters this can be achieved. 

I hope Arsenal win today. And I also hope Tottenham stop Manchester City next week. 

Yes if Manutd is still wants to play in the Europe Conference League, they will do their best to get 3 points from that match.
Because if they are lose against Arsenal today, and only get a draw with Newcastle = they will finish as the top 8th in the league.

In this season, Newcastle away performance was not that good - from 17 away matches in the league they could only win 5 times, with 2 draws and lose 10 times.
It should be not that hard for Manutd to beat them at the Old Trafford.

Unexpectedly, the EPL and other leagues will end soon, but the EPL still presents fierce competition until the end of the season, just like last season where Man City and Arsenal fought for the EPL title and this season they are also still competing fiercely in the hunt for the title when other leagues have already decided. Who will be the champion? The EPL is still looking for the club that will win the title, but that is what makes this league interesting because the competition between the top clubs is still fierce.

Man City won with a big score against Fulham and today we will see Arsenal playing against MU. I see that MU will be a club that makes things difficult for Arsenal at Old Trafford, but because of MU's inconsistency, this club's performance is quite doubtful because in the last meeting between the two, Arsenal was able to beat MU. I think Arsenal will beat MU again even though this match is an away match for Arsenal but it won't be a big pressure for a club that is fighting to win the title.

 This match against Man United and Arsenal at Old Trafford is one that holds high stakes for both clubs and I think this is one match that lost fans will use as a bragging right this season. Both teams are in chase for something, while Arsenal is chasing the league so bad, Man United wouldn’t want to miss out on Europe and as such this match is a must win for them. So you can see all what is at stake in this match in England.

 Man United lost the first leg of this encounter earlier this season with a 3-1 margin and I think that loss is what the players wouldn’t want to happen but you can just imagine how possible and hard it will be for Man United. Arsenal attackers are really fierce and you can say the defending vulnerabilities of this Man United side will sure catch up with them when Arsenal fierce and fast attackers come at them. ⁠One major fact you can’t overlook is how this Man United side have been with the top teams this season.  You can see how they thrashed out Liverpool of the FA Cup and I think one of the main spoilers of Liverpool’s title chase.

 As such you can’t expect them to sit quiet against Arsenal in front of their home fans. Well they want to at least participate in the Europa League next season and yes they need to finish 6th at least or win the FA Cup final. Winning the FA CUp final might be more challenging, so they understand how much of importance this match is for them. ⁠This match will be one exciting one that will go down im About 3 hours and with the way this Arsenal side are seriously chasing their title and the injury crisis at Man United which makes them vulnerable I think Arsenal will be winning this with a 0-3 or 0-4 scoreline.

It has been played and the result is that Fulham is helpless against Mamchester City. I have said head to head calculations that the last time Fulham achieved the best result against Manchester City was on 18 September 2011, then until yesterday's match they were only victims of Manchester City's ferocity.

Until now, I still have doubts about Arsenal beating Manchester United even though Manchester United's performance is declining. In my opinion, every time Manchester United faces a top four team, it can be troublesome for them. At the next meeting, I think Arsenal will be troubled by Manchester United even though we don't know the result yet.

If Arsenal fails to get full points against Manchester United, it is legal for Manchester City to win 4 PL titles in a row.

Now you talk as if you're a gunner and I'm certain in a kinda way, True? No doubts with your comments made, Manchester stands no chance but this is Old Trafford. My pain would be winning the game today or drawing for Manchester United, they don't deserve it, I hope Arsenal definitely gets whatever they want today, my prediction should be a close range win maybe a two goals to one game, one to Nil win or two goals to nothing win for Arsenal.

All of the winning depends on Arsenal if they can be able to take necessary actions whenever they get the chance. More prediction is also for Trosadd to score a goal today.

Manchester United will be having good number of defenders back and having both Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, Manchester United will definitely be able to build up successfully from the back, also returning is Antonio Martial who will be playing his last game during that game for Manchester United.

Erik Ten Hag knows what's at stake he has to do all he can to do win that game.
