This season City have not been able to beat Chelsea. This shows that Chelsea can play solidly when they meet City. They even tied with a score of 4-4. But I don't think it can be used as a reference for the FA cup semi-final match.

City came with the motivation to win 2 championship titles. After being eliminated from the UCL, I'm sure City will have more motivation to win the FA Cup. They also don't have a busy schedule and Pep can rotate players by fielding their best squad. Although Chelsea has good statistics in the last two H2H results matches but City can beat Chelsea in some matches before that.

City do not have any difficult games in their remaining league games except Tottenham. So they can really go all out for the match against Chelsea.

Don't be surprised when Manchester City g ys knocked out of the FA Cup Competition this same way. Have you seen them against Chelsea this season?  Maybe you have forgotten or something?

Chelsea during the both games they have played in the Premier League Competition have been the better side in general during the home and away games played.
Chelsea just failed to manage these games, or should I say they didn't defend well until the very end?
The so called Chelsea Football club won six goals to nothing the other day against Everton. I will not write of the blues, I'm tipping them for another finals against Manchester United after losing the first one to Liverpool.

Jack Grealish shouldn't be handed a start, he has been nothing but a big joke for Manchester City.

Manchester City now no longer has a busy schedule like before where it had to play 3 competitions at before, namely the Champions League, English League and FA Cup. Now Manchester City only has 2 competitions left, namely the FA Cup and the English League, the FA Cup may not be a priority. Manchester City's main goal, but he can still get through it well if he is able to beat Chelsea in the semifinals. Meanwhile, Manchester City's priority right now is to win the Premier League title and defend it like before. Manchester City still wants to dominate, so Manchester City's opportunity to be at the top will continue is an opportunity for Manchester City not to lose points in the remaining 6 matches.

If you look at the match schedule, Manchester City doesn't have any tough opponents in the next 6 matches and Manchester City should be able to win all of these matches and not give their opponents the opportunity to surprise them. Yes, even though that club cannot be underestimated, with the performance that Manchester City has I have no doubts about Manchester City and will definitely continue to use full strength because Manchester City is no longer competing in the Champions League.

The EPL race is still going fierce even though we’ve had Arsenal and Liverpool dropping points over the weekend which saw Man City end the gameweek comfortably in top spot. This is what makes the epl one of the toughest league across Europe as the competition in the league is usually top notch and one that you wouldn’t want to miss.
 
⁠ Man City are very dominant and each time they get to the top of the league, I think that’s when teams should get scared of them more because of their fierce attack line. Well Liverpool have been able to win them in time past despite the dominance of Pep and his City side and so many are still tipping Liverpool to repeat such victory again.
 
 Between Liverpool and Arsenal, Liverpool have the better chance because of the experience as compared to Arsenal who probably right now the mentality of the players might have dropped especially after the loss over the weekend and the Ucl elimination. Liverpool will play Fulham this weekend and you’ll sure predict Liverpool being able to thrash this Inconsistent fulham side.

 Man City loss to Real Madrid could either build up the players mentality or destroy it and as such this is to say Liverpool or Arsenal could take the advantage this weekend. The issue now is Arsenal ready for a challenge because they have to beat an improved Chelsea side to be able to get their feet back in the race.

The English Premier League is affordable for both the elite and average team. Every one knows their favorite team weakness and strong momentum. It's not going to help if we gamble based on hyped stats and not focusing on the main objectives in the system. There are presence of elite clubs in the world of football, I'm just here listening to the good fighting that's not even consistent because these elite teams are having challenges. Manchester City elimination from the UEFA quarter finals made everyone upset. Pep Guardiola and his team will fight to recover their previous losses.

Manchester City were really unlucky in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals this season. They failed to meet the expectations of most people who favored them to go through to the semi-finals instead of Real Madrid, but in football there are always surprises. Real Madrid tended to defend throughout the match as Manchester City dominated well, but only De Bruyne was able to score while others failed to do so including Haaland.

Pep Guardiola deserved to be disappointed with the final result of the match because two of his mainstay players actually failed to execute penalties. Kovacic and Bernardo Silva failed to convert their chances into goals, which is the reason why Manchester City failed to qualify for the semi-finals this season. Real Madrid are lucky, it is a good sign for them this season.

Yes I agree with you guys because indeed from the match schedule we can already find out if Manchester City has no pressure and only have hope in the Premier League and the FA Cup while this competition does not put any pressure because the opponents faced are only clubs that have often been often faced by Manchester City.
Right now I am a little sad to see the failure of Manchester City but at least there is still hope to prove to all fans that the PL title and the FA Cup can be easily achieved by Manchester City.
No matter how strong the obstacles in the rest of this match, Pep Guardiola was able to overcome all these obstacles and would not let Liverpool or Arsenal win the first position.

This is all just a prediction from what I have seen because everyone here definitely knows how big Manchester City's chances are of winning the PL title this season but we also don't know whether there will be any big surprises this season because the point difference is very thin. .
Arsenal could actually have a chance to win the title this season but they have to continue to win in the remaining matches and Manchester City has to lose at least once and at that time Arsenal still has a big chance to lead the Premier League.
It won't be that easy because Manchester City is currently still a club known for its quality players and reliable coaches and one defeat is unlikely to happen.

I do agree that City played good again, but I have seen them do a lot better before, this season both at Premier league and now we have seen at UCL as well, they weren't as good as last year for example where they won both of them. Premier league got super close as well, they have two teams chasing them and with just one tie they would have a chance to lose the entire league as well.

There are few games left of the season and with just 2 losses they could end the entire season with zero titles or cups as well. I am not saying that is what we are going to see, but normally City ends seasons with at least one cup, and seeing them not win anything at all would be very difficult for the fans and definitely for the staff, Pep would be furious.

It's easy to beat Tottenham as long as ange as totenham coach continues to use his shitty tactics against the city. I don't see it as a serious issue because Tottenham consistently plays so poorly in all matches by implementing a high line defensive strategy which can be countered easily through use quick counter attack. Ange was extremely harsh, and he never accepted criticism from others regarding his tactics and i don't know why he keeps believe on his monotone tactic.

Manchester City has easier fixtures than Liverpool or Arsenal, both of whom will face numerous major clubs at the end of the season and it's increase city's probability to win the competition a lot. I am confident that City will win the Premier League trophy again this season, especially with ez fixtures increasing the chances of success.
City is not burdened by UCL because it lost to Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola's main focus is to ensure that his club wins two trophies this season, one from the Premier League and one from the FA Cup.

The path for Manchester City to win the Premier League title looks easy because they no longer play in the Champions League. On the one hand, their failure to advance from the Champions League to the semifinals had a positive impact on the Premier League and FA Cup.
These two competitions must be serious. The FA Cup is already in the semifinals and the Premier League only has 6 matches left.
Apart from Spurs, Brighton is also an opponent that should not be underestimated.

Who is not disappointed when his team does not qualify, but I feel satisfied with the performance of the Man City team at this time, while we know Real Madrid is the king of Europe who has previously been defeated by Pep Guardiola's troops but this season is not lucky anymore.

Bernardo and Kovacic missed penalties, but what I've seen is that in penalty shootouts it's sometimes more luck but this has been an incident where Man City failed.
Now enough of the Premier League and FA there are still two trophies that Pep Guardiola can win, I feel Pep will not be empty-handed this season.

If you look at their opponents in the remaining games in the league and FA cup I think City have a big chance of winning both. Tottenham could be a problem for them but I think City can handle it. Actually, all three teams still have the same chance. Even one defeat could shift City's position. But the problem is that Arsenal and Liverpool performed poorly in their last matches. This means that even if City loses to Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool are not teams that are expected to win all their remaining matches, if you look at their recent performance. Arsenal and Liverpool also still have matches against Tottenham. And the chances of City losing to Tottenham are very, very small.

Man City may be lamenting their defeat in the Champions League but on the bright side, they can focus more on the Premier League and FA Cup. Playing in 3 different competitions will clearly drain their energy, especially in the Champions League where sometimes they have to travel very far away.

I think Man City still has a big chance of winning the Premier League and FA Cup trophies but that can only happen if they play with all their might, and they did not dwell on their defeat in the Champions League. In the Premier League, the opponent who might be able to trouble them is Tottenham Hotspur and it was an away match for Man City. Meanwhile, in the FA Cup, Man City will face quite a tough obstacle because in the semifinals they have to play against Chelsea, and if they win, they will most likely meet Man United in the final.

He might be disappointed, but, at the same time, he's pretty happy with the team's performance. At least he seemed so during the post-match interview.
They dominated Real in every metric other than goals. They had over 4 times more shots on goal than the Spanish team, but they were just down on luck.
For the tournaments like this, a little things can decide on who goes through and who drops out. Man City has nothing to be ashamed of for yesterday's game (maybe except for Silva who could've done better in his penalty attempt).

It is quite disappointing to see all English teams have to be eliminated from the Champions League this season, as the defending champions of the Premier League and Champions League of course we expect a lot if at least we will still see Manchester City can advance to the final and bring the Champions League title back to English soil, but unfortunately it is no longer possible for Manchester City and Arsenal at this time,  Now of course Manchester City will focus on the Premier League and the FA as a wound cure from missing the opportunity to win the Champions League this season, for the Premier League champions of course the competition will still occur with Arsenal and Liverpool at this time, while the FA Cup of course I don't think if Chelsea will be able to beat Manchester City later,  Indeed, Chelsea's performance is starting to improve, but at the moment Chelsea are often inconsistent in their game so it is very doubtful for me Chelsea will win.

Being ranked 1st in the English League certainly makes Manchester City's current position begin to be depressed, yes they are required to remain consistent in order to maintain their championship chances because after all 2 points only need one win for Arsenal and Liverpool and certainly one defeat for Manchester City for
make changes happen again in the standings later.

If both Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City win all the remaining matches, Man City will win the championship. Clearly, Pep Guardiola's team has certain advantages. They are now the most favored candidate for the Premier League championship this season. Man City's elimination from the UCL will not discourage them; they will be more focused and determined in this tournament.

Arsenal may be the team that regrets the most for not making more effort to win 3 points in the match against Aston Villa. But Arsenal still has the advantage in terms of difference. If Man City draws one match and Arsenal wins the remaining matches, they will still be champions. Let's wait and see if luck helps Arsenal.

Guardiola is coming back to the Premier League with a really disappointing Champions League elimination. From now on his main target is going to be to win the titles in remaining tournaments.

By this I mean not only the Premier League but also the FA Cup. The FA Cup semi final game against Chelsea is only two days later. So far Manchester City have had big problems on beating Chelsea. However I don't expect the same thing here. I think they will reach the finale. When it comes to the Premier League they have already captured an important advantage of two points. They will give their everything for winning the league title without doubt.

Even though it is not a benchmark in football, it does not guarantee the genius of a coach and they can even make mistakes. It is certain that both clubs expect City to make mistakes in their final match, because both will benefit from their respective matches and also points. what can be obtained will be beneficial for both Arsenal and Liverpool, it all goes back to the defending champions City, how they can contain and maintain their safe distance from the shadows of Arsenal and Liverpool, because the pressure will be even greater at the end of the season and if you look at the three of them, they still have a good chance. very big in winning the Premier League this season..

Hopefully Man City elimination from the UCL will not affect its performance in the EPL so that it continues to keep its distance from Arsenal and Liverpool. Pep Guardiola will focus his players back on maximizing their chances of the EPL trophy so that it doesn't fall into the hands of their rivals. There are only 2 trophies that Man City can get, 1 in the FA Cup and 1 in the EPL. Because Arsenal will start their 33rd match first against Wolves, 3 points are quite important to win the top of the standings.
The top teams have had time to rest and now the match will start with the bottom teams trying to fight to get out of the relegation zone, one of which is Luton Town who will face Brentford, this match will be very important for Luton because their position is threatened at the top. ranked 18th in the standings. If Luton is unable to get 3 points, he will automatically return to the 2nd tier of the Premier League next season. For Brentford, they are also trying to avoid dropping points and it is better to stay in their position than to approach the relegation zone. Considering the last 2 matches, Brentford was a little lucky to draw with Aston Villa and get 3 points from Sheffield United, but against a weaker team, namely Brunley, the result was defeat.

considering that Manchester City performance this season is very good, even though they occasionally experience defeats, they can lead at the top of the rankings, what he said is true, the points of Manchester City and Arsenal and Liverpool are not much different, namely only two points apart there is a possibility that both teams it could overtake Manchester City position,  but considering Manchester City good performance and they have good players perhaps in the next match they will not have difficulty adding points so they can continue to be at the top of the rankings.

with their upcoming matches with other teams, I think Manchester City can match it maybe even better than that. Manchester City must be able to maintain its ranking this season, because no one knows what the future holds maybe Liverpool or Arsenal can overtake them, but as you said even though they are only two points apart, it is unlikely that they will be able to catch those two points.
