Newcastle and Chelsea seem to be in a race for 6th place until the last week.Chelsea, who made good use of Newcastle's loss of points, have closed the points difference as of now.Newcastle drew with Brighton at home.They had the potential to leave with a win from this encounter, but their opponents were not easy.Brighton made it difficult for them. Chelsea, on the other hand, scored an important win against Nottingham Forest, who have the potential to be relegated.There is a 3-point gap between Nottingham Forest and Luton Town and both of them have one game left.Nottingham Forest will most likely stay in the league.Chelsea, on the other hand, entered the last 10 minutes of this difficult encounter down but managed to win with goals from Sterling and Nicolas.

Unfortunately, finishing the league in 6th place does not help anything. Chelsea had a bad season and it seems that they will not be able to participate in organizations such as the Champions League or UEFA next year. They lost a lot of points at the beginning of the year, I think they haven't been very good for a few years.
Let's see if they can manage to rise to 6th place Smiley

It is critical for Ten Hag, and he will not allow the club to fire him simply because his team has lost another game against Arsenal and i think that arsenal is also seeing this as one of most important match for arteta's club too . You assumed it was unimportant but reality proved otherwise caused by both arsenal and manchester united have their own target. Arsenal tries to win caused by it's the last chance to get PL trophy while united's coach was not willing to be sacked by the club. Look at Ten Hag's position. It's stupid if United's officials are satisfied with the outcome of their club's loss to Arsenal.
As long as Manchester United can get a draw, the club will benefit significantly.
Not only that, but the Manchester United vs Arsenal match is also a prestigious match between two top Premier League teams and for motivation to win the match I think both teams are the same but we also have to be realistic in looking at the strengths of both teams to predict who will be able to win the match.
In my opinion, Manchester United has been in a really bad state lately because many of their players have been injured and this is inversely proportional to Arsenal who are currently in top form so I think it cannot be denied that Arsenal's percentage of winning this match is much greater.

Chelsea still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League if Newcastle and Manchester United lose their games and Chelsea can finish 6th and qualify for the Europa League, besides after last season when Chelsea struggled to stay in the EPL 6th-7th place seems like a very good outcome. I thought that the place above 8th for Chesley will be a local success, because the team needs to give confidence and to do this after last season is not so easy, but Pocchetino in general has succeeded and although we must admit that Chelsea is one of the most unpredictable teams in the EPL, which can beat the favorites and lose to the outsiders of the league, but nevertheless it can be seen that Chelsea finally has character and the team wins games that seemed to lose. For example, the last game with Nottingham, when up to 80 minutes it seemed that Nottingham will bring the game to victory, but a couple of successful substitutions and in a few minutes Chelsea turned the game around and was able to win.

So I think that so far the Chelsea management is quite satisfied with Pocchetino's work and at least for next season he deserves a contract extension.
Chelsea this season have really been great and yes they might mot be in the top 4 but I think when compared to last season they’re looking better placed than they were last season. Right now they’re currently sitted in 7th place and tied on same points with 6th place Newcastle. Well the club still has an Europa League spot in sight and that’s quite possible because if Man United can defeat Newcastle later this week and Chelsea gets a win over Brighton then they’ll be cruising to 6th place whilst they await their last match of the season.⁠ This season they have not had a balanced form well apart from the last few matches where it’s been all rosy for them.

 They have gone from up to down and they win games you think will be  quite difficult for them and the easy ones they’re slipping up by losing or maybe playing out a draw. ⁠At this point especially with the last games you will see the new sense of resilience from the players and with the stat in 2024, you begin to wonder what they have been doing since the start of the season because if they have at least won some games they drew, at least they would have been better placed on the log. Well in all, you can still commed Poch for the good work he’s done with this young team.

 ⁠I think with the way they have performed recently, Poch has been able to please the board of the club and as such they are very confident in him and his style l. So it’s safe to say we’ll still be seeing him around next season and I hope he helps get this team to the top 4 next season because the fans can’t wait to see their team participate in the UCL.

Pottechino squad is feeling confident now and prove that they are finally building on something good. Chelsea has been on a great form lately when you take a look at their last few games despite that some of these winnings are not convincing enough as a big team they are. The entire squad has really improved including Jackson but he seriously needs to work on himself to be decisive upfront when necessary. Those misses over the last few games and even in yesterday's game have been detrimental to the team. I know that winning the game is the goal but scoring goals as many as possible is very necessary because it's already giving them advantage over Manchester united despite having same points if United win their game today.

Nothingham Frost played very well but luck wasn't with them. Conceding two late goals is painful and they would have loved to draw because they really deserve it but football is not a game of emotions, the side that win is the better side. Couch substitution was not well calculated and analyzed, it cost Nothingham forest the game after the initial lead to lose the whole three points.
Nottingham Forest are hard knot to crack but Chelsea managed to exert incredible comeback injury time and grabbed three winning points. Chelsea performance have improved so as their confidence against their opponents. The Blues have always been ambitious from day one but the cooperative nature of the team was very low but now, these players have a good team spirit and they're developing on all areas. Mauricio Pochettino doing a nice job and qualifying for the Europa League spot, we keep all hope alive for this particular position.

The match between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest ended with a 3-2 result and Chelsea successfully got the three points from the matches they wanted to get.
In fact, Chelsea is trying hard to get their situation better in the table and they want to get a ticket for the European League in the next season. However, this won't be easy for them since they should wait to see Newcastle making mistakes and losing some points. because both teams got 57 points.

Premier League only have 1 match today between Manchester United vs Arsenal and we have already to discuss about this before because this match is so important for Arsenal and win result will be mandatory for them if want to taking over first place from Manchester City because if Arsenal draw or even lost then their chances to gets Premier League title will be very hard and on the paper Arsenal is the favourite because Manchester United this season is very not stable this because since the beginning of season Manchester United always gets storm injured which makes they were unable to found their shape

But for today match Arsenal also has a problem because some players are potentially will be absense because of injured and the rumour is Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu will be absense and if this news is true i think it will have big impact for Arsenal performance later especially Bukayo Saka this player currently as Arsenal top scorer in Premier League and if he really absense today then it would be big lost for Arsenal

Just like i said before Arsenal has poor records while playing at Old Trafford because from 8 meeting at there Arsenal only get 1 win at there so this is big challenge for Arteta whether he can able to bringing Arsenal to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford or not and although Arsenal will lost some players today but basically their conditions is much better compared to Manchester United and from the consistency too Arsenal is much better and if they can able to performing well i think beat Manchester United is not hard task for them

If the rumor is true that Saka and Tomiyasu will miss today's game against Manchester United, I don't think that will have an impact on their performance since they have more attacking players available to replace Saka, maybe Arteta will use Martinelli in their starting line. Arsenal have more chances of winning Manchester United at Old Trafford because there's no consistency in their games. Arsenal need to play with their full strength to defeat Manchester United because the three points will give them another chance to return to the top of the league.

According to H2H Arsenal won four out of their last eight meetings, in their last Premier League game Arsenal defeated Manchester United 3-1 and I believe that Manchester United's injured players are not much like this. However, Arsenal always has a bad record at Old Trafford, but I did not expect the same thing to happen today because Arsenal's aim at this point is to secure three points in their remaining games, which I think Arteta will not disappoint their fans this season.

Manchester United needs to be had things which are prevented them from having injuries and things which are not helping for the consistency if they want to keep themselves at the top level, otherwise we can expect them to stay into middle of the league table which is surely not ideal situation.
Manchester United vs Arsenal is quite interesting for us to watch, because these two teams are under the same pressure. Arsenal really need a win so that they don't have any distance from Manchester City while waiting for a miracle, while Manchester United are required to catch up with Chelsea, who have already overtaken them in the standings. With both of them under pressure, it will be quite difficult to guess who can get 3 points. On paper Arsenal has the advantage because no players are injured so they can perform optimally, but Manchester United are now at a disadvantage, having been hit by a storm of injuries plus the demand for 3 points in a fairly tough match.
The match between Manchester United vs Arsenal is not important for Manchester United but the match against Manchester United is very important for Arsenal because this season's premier league title of Arsenal depends on only one match. If by any means Arsenal lose to Manchester United then Manchester City will celebrate the title in the next match but if Arsenal win then we will have to wait until the last match to see which team wins the title. Compared to Arsenal, Manchester City is slightly ahead in the Premier League title race because Manchester City has slightly more points than Arsenal and these few points may be a big factor for Arsenal.
It is critical for Ten Hag, and he will not allow the club to fire him simply because his team has lost another game against Arsenal and i think that arsenal is also seeing this as one of most important match for arteta's club too . You assumed it was unimportant but reality proved otherwise caused by both arsenal and manchester united have their own target.

Arsenal is only having slightly chance to win the competition at this moment. Things are not even going very well for arsenal caused by the club it's likely winning all of remaining games at the end of season.
Im feeling that both arsenal and city will win the remaining games with decent scores. It's time for city to make arsenal trophyless again this season.
It is very regrettable that at crucial times like this there are no more games between Arsenal vs Manchester City. If these two teams face each other in the midst of competition between them for the EPL trophy, it will certainly be the most exciting and challenging match in EPL history. Arsenal is increasingly under pressure after Manchester City added three points from Fulham, now Manchester City is back at the top of the standings with 85 points. Arsenal must win the match against Manchester United if they want to return to the top of the standings. This match will be even more exciting because of the rivalry between the two who want to protect the team's good name from their rival.

I understand your want to watch Arsenal and Manchester City fight now. Great matchup. Might be huge! Both teams are heating up, making every game a championship game. Arsenal beat City previously this season, proving themselves. They proved they could be number one. City has a tiny advantage after beating Fulham by three points. Arsenal is currently under intense pressure. I support them versus Manchester United. More than the win, guys. It's pride and showing opponents whos boss.

Cant you sense the anticipation? We might have a race if Arsenal beats Manchester United and City loses to Tottenham - those teams are vying for Champions League positions. Thats what makes the Premier League the best in the world. Drama, suspense, unpredictability

I think Arsenal are going to need to wait for another season to try their luck again in the premier league, because the title seems to be heading to the Etihad stadium already. Look at Manchester City dominating performance against Fulham today. I don't think there is any stop for this city side this season again. They look so committed and everyone is motivated to win the league title, so Arsenal should be satisfied with their champions league spot and consider the season a success. I just hope they can be able to win at Manchester United tomorrow to keep their hope alive.
I fully agree with you that it will be very difficult for Arsenal to win this season's Premier League. At this moment, the season is already at the end, and the remaining three matches of Manchester City are 80% sure that they will win the matches. It is only Tottenham that people are thinking may give them a tough time, and even Tottenham's performances have declined, so I think Tottenham will not be a big problem for Manchester City. It is really funny that Arsenal fans are playing for Manchester City to lose or draw a game at the moment at this end of the of the season. I don't think their prayer will work. Arsenal have a great opportunity to win this season's Premier League trophy, but they really messed up, and the same thing is applicable to last season too. 
After having historic success in last season things were completely favourable for the Arsenal to win in this season but sadly just one lost at home against Aston Villa give them huge setback, and now they have no good chance of winning title in this season but their consistency and quality is impressive which is going to allow them for having good results in next season even this can give them chance of challenging Manchester City for the title race.

Manchester City is having amazing squad which is now all set for the win with their next game against Tottenham is important but most chances they will be able to win and have top spot with Arsenal which is today going to face Manchester United can also win, but their lost opportunity against Aston Villa is surely going to have problem for them with Old Trafford is surely going to be give them all three points with their aggressive approach in last few games.

And Manchester United injuries have caused them a lot of set back and that contributed to there loses against crystal palace.  And it’s a great opportunity for arsenal to score more goals than crystal palace and aside the injuries luck as not been on the side of Manchester United this season.

Injuries issue is just like a reason used by them to defend their bad performance this season. Even if there is no injuries issue, I still doubt that they can play better. The issue in Manchester United is complex, too many issues in them as a whole team. Need a significant change for them to be better next season, otherwise Manchester United will turn to be mediocre team.

I don't know how Man U will play next season, it might take a while for them to start playing well again... For Chelsea, it took over a year to get into shape... But today against Arsenal Man U have no chance... Arsenal are fighting with Man City for the first place in the standings and should take the three points...

Eight games on the road for Arsenal since the start of this year and they have won all in the Premier League Competition, I can't drag or make too much comments about this game.
It's definitely a game Arsenal shouldn't sleep on same way they did with Aston Villa. Now that game against Aston Villa has hunt them till this moment. Mikel Arteta's decisions landed them in that position anyways

It's not about his goals, I've watched him closely, when you talk about player's that impacts into that Arsenal side he is not amongst the first three, it's a chance for Gabriel Jesus to ahow himself against Manchester United yet again. Saka's work rate for Arsenal us very low as I don't think he should be even called world class because what has he ever done in the European Competitions and Level?

Just like I have said, Arsenal's record on the road has be excellent you see? I'm sure they have something to do again today at Old Trafford. I have also seen comments from Mikel Arteta hailing Erik Ten Hag but these fans are so dump to see that? Just as said by Erik Ten Hag, they have zero knowledge of club management or football in general. They will talk about loses but they're also part of the game of football.

Good results for Crystal Palace, because Crystal Palace managed to consistently win or go unbeaten in their last six matches. To be honest, I am still very confident that Crystal Palace will still win that away match against Wolves but unfortunately, I missed it in betting, at least that is a regret too. But indeed, if Crystal Palace wins maybe only by a low score like one goal, maybe it will just be an ordinary victory. But nevertheless, Crystal Palace can still succeed and/or consistently win with big scores and also with clean sheets. At least, a result like this will certainly still be good for Crystal Palace to end the season beautifully even though Crystal Palace is only trying to finish in the middle of the standings but after all, finishing in the middle of the standings is certainly better than just finishing at the bottom of the standings.
Six matches unbeaten was a good record for Crystal Palace and what was more extraordinary was that they beat Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester United, a team that was predicted to be difficult for them to produce good results but they were able to do it and six matches produced 16 points, which is a very good thing because their position was far away from relegation where previously Crystal Palace was in a pretty bad position, even if there was no good progress they would be one of the teams that might have to fight in the relegation zone.
Their last opponent is Aston Villa, maybe Crystal Palace wants to end the season with an unbeaten record, beating Aston Villa might be difficult but to get one point is wide open for Crystal Palace who are in a very good moment.

Chelsea ranked 7th position and keeping their hopes for the Europa League alive for them. Mauricio Pochettino is trying to enchanced the team performance and the players and we're seeing the require evidence. Chelsea performance against Nottingham forest was outstanding and they missed out on most goal scoring attempts but miraculously won 3-2. The Blues are one of the elite club that have fought extremely hard to bounce back to glory wins and they're actually achieving this.
Chelsea's victory at home to Nottingham Forest has equalized its points with Newcastle United's current points so there is still a chance for Chelsea to get into the top six at the end of this season. Because Newcastle experienced a draw in today's match when they hosted Brighton, Newcastle failed to share points with Chelsea and this will make Chelsea more enthusiastic in achieving a better position in the remaining matches at the end of this season.
Chelsea performed very badly at the start of the season, it was difficult for them to move from the middle of the standings. However, now they are starting to be able to compete for a place in European club competitions. Chelsea performed quite well in the final phase of the 2023-2024 Premier League season. In fact, Chelsea always won in the last three matches. The Blues hope to close the season in 6th position in the standings. Because Chelsea and Newcastle have the same points. So, competition is very open Chelsea took three important points in the match at The City Ground Stadium, The Blus won with a score of 3-2. The victory over Nottingham is very important for Chelsea. They are now in seventh place with 57 points away from Manchester United with a three-point advantage. For Nottingham Forest, this defeat means they are not yet safe from the trap of relegation. They are in 17th position with 29 points.

It was actually a very impressive win from this Chelsea team no doubt, I was really impressed, though I am one of their greatest critique, but their performance yesterday even when they were 2-1 down really impressed me, and if they can maintain such commanding type of football and win all the remaining fixture between now and the end of the season, then I believe that they might qualify for a place in the uefa Europa league competition.

Lastly, over the cause of the season, this Chelsea team has been playing with so much injuries especially to most of their key players in the team, but as the returning captain of the team Recce James
came on, he  brought a lot of energy and quality to that right back position, which he was the one that eventually cross the ball, that leads to the winning goal of the game.
We can say that Chelsea won thanks to the contribution of the players from the bench. Raheem Sterling was played in the 73rd minute. After that, in the 79th minute, Reece James was played. The contribution of these two substitute players is what makes the difference. Sterling scored the goal to make the score 2-2. Meanwhile, James was recorded as providing the assist for Jackson's goal.

Chelsea once fell to 11th place, but with significant efforts and improvements in playing style, Chelsea has accelerated spectacularly. Pochettino's team revived, losing only 1 of the last 13 matches in the tournament, to climb to 7th place with 57 points like Newcastle. If the current position in the Premier League is maintained, while Man Utd does not win the FA Cup, Newcastle and Chelsea are likely to occupy the last spots for the Europa League and Conference League.

And of course, it is impossible not to mention the skill of coach Mauricio Pochettino. He has been under a lot of pressure this season as Chelsea's results have not always been as expected. After the victory against Nottingham, Pochettino showed his ability to turn the situation around with changes, he deserves to continue to be trusted. Overall, under Pochettino's leadership, the London team is showing a clear playing style. If we can add another quality goalscorer to share the fire with Nicolas Jackson or in case Nkunku returns and plays impressively, Chelsea will significantly improve performance.
It looks like it will be very interesting for us to wait for next season, whether Pochettino will be retained, or a successor will be brought in who will mix up the Chelsea squad so that they can compete at the top of the Premier League standings, of course from the start of the season, not in the middle, let alone at the end of the season. Of course, to be able to compete at the top of the standings next season, Chelsea must spend funds to buy several players who suit the coach's tastes.

The issue in Manchester United is complex, too many issues in them as a whole team. Need a significant change for them to be better next season, otherwise Manchester United will turn to be mediocre team.

I agree with you. Injuries weren't the reason why Manchester United tough time in their games, I believe even though the full squad of Manchester United is fit to play, we will still see the same outcomes in their games because they did not have quality players in their mix. If we want to see some changes with Manchester United they must sign more players next season, they won't achieve anything if they don't sign more players next season. Even Chelsea whom we always blame that they spend billions on purchasing players is doing better than ManU at this point.

Wolverhampton played well against Crystal Palace but couldn't get the win.Crystal Palace's rise in recent weeks continues.Their football has really improved in recent weeks and they are making it difficult for their opponents.Maybe if Crystal Palace had started this football game earlier, they would have had the chance to go to the European Cups now.For them, the planning for the new season should have already started and they will want to make a surprise entry into the new season.With this win, the 2 teams have equalized points.

Wolves do their best to win the game, but they are not lucky enough to win the game. Crystal Palace has improved in their last 6 games, winning five and drawing one against Fulham. I was surprised by Crystal Palace's current performance since it is so strange, their performance was not as good as since the beginning of the season. Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool, Manchester United, West Ham and Newcastle in their last games, the only thing that surprised me was the victory over Liverpool. I believe if they play this way from the beginning of the season, they will have a chance to play in the next Europa or Conference League.

Couch substitution was not well calculated and analyzed, it cost Nothingham forest the game after the initial lead to lose the whole three points.
Nottingham Forest are hard knot to crack but Chelsea managed to exert incredible comeback injury time and grabbed three winning points. Chelsea performance have improved so as their confidence against their opponents. The Blues have always been ambitious from day one but the cooperative nature of the team was very low but now, these players have a good team spirit and they're developing on all areas. Mauricio Pochettino doing a nice job and qualifying for the Europa League spot, we keep all hope alive for this particular position.
Chelsea are battling to get into the Europa conference league spot and not Europa league spot. The conference league is the third tier of European football competition at club level. But the truth is why is it that Chelsea fans are celebrating because Chelsea are fighting for conference league position. For me I don't see that as an achievement, at least not for a club as big as Chelsea, after spending the billions of dollars in this team and all you could fight for is a conference league spot, and the Chelsea fan are making it look like they are qualifying for the champions league. Even if Chelsea finish in the top 6 I will still consider their season as a failure. And with the way pochettino is sounding lately in the media it seems that everything is not okay with him and the Chelsea owners. The owners are aware that pochettino failed the objective they gave him and they are seriously considering making some changes.
Chelsea still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League if Newcastle and Manchester United lose their games and Chelsea can finish 6th and qualify for the Europa League, besides after last season when Chelsea struggled to stay in the EPL 6th-7th place seems like a very good outcome. I thought that the place above 8th for Chesley will be a local success, because the team needs to give confidence and to do this after last season is not so easy, but Pocchetino in general has succeeded and although we must admit that Chelsea is one of the most unpredictable teams in the EPL, which can beat the favorites and lose to the outsiders of the league, but nevertheless it can be seen that Chelsea finally has character and the team wins games that seemed to lose. For example, the last game with Nottingham, when up to 80 minutes it seemed that Nottingham will bring the game to victory, but a couple of successful substitutions and in a few minutes Chelsea turned the game around and was able to win.

So I think that so far the Chelsea management is quite satisfied with Pocchetino's work and at least for next season he deserves a contract extension.

Yeah truly we cannot compare Chelsea performance at the beginning of the season and now because they have truly improved a lot
To be honest, there has been great improvement in Chelsea's performance, if they had been performing like this since the beginning of the season, they would have been in a better position. Chelsea is currently in 7th position, they have equal points with Newcastle which is in 6th position. Newcastle is ahead of Chelsea because of their goal difference. I never expected Chelsea to be in their current position, there was a point at which Chelsea was struggling in the 10th position, everyone expected them to end the season in the 10th position, but currently Chelsea is fighting for the top 6, which is really a good one for them.

That's just it because if Chelsea had improve this much during the early time of this season who knows how far they would have gone because just like you said during that time Chelsea was seriously battling and struggling on the 10th position and had no performance of improving on there table and by then Manchester United was very far ahead of them on the table but look at how well they have improve, however I have a strong feeling that Chelsea will actually occupy the 6th position because since they have the same point with Newcastle United and Newcastle will be meeting Manchester United on there next match and there is no way they could easily win Manchester United so if they lose the match and Chelsea win there next match they automatically occupy the 6th position.

And Manchester United injuries have caused them a lot of set back and that contributed to there loses against crystal palace.  And it’s a great opportunity for arsenal to score more goals than crystal palace and aside the injuries luck as not been on the side of Manchester United this season.

Injuries issue is just like a reason used by them to defend their bad performance this season. Even if there is no injuries issue, I still doubt that they can play better. The issue in Manchester United is complex, too many issues in them as a whole team. Need a significant change for them to be better next season, otherwise Manchester United will turn to be mediocre team.
Injury should not.be used as the reason why Manchester United underperformed this season we all already know Manchester united problem and it's not far from being the issues of coaches that lacks proper understanding of how the team works even if players also contributed to the problem Manchester United is facing now but however their major problem is inability to hire a coach that understands the club's football ethics nothing more than that.

Let us expect Arsenal to win, although it is away an match for Arsenal. I do not need any excuses at all than predicting exactly what you are thinking that Arsenal would win today's match against Manchester United. Arsenal is fit and better than Manchester United. But what I am not just really happy about is if Manchester City won the league again which is too often. I like how EPL was so competitive unlike 10 years ago till now that Manchester City is really dominating the league. Arsenal was my favorite in last season and still my favorite in this season. I guess what will determine the outcome of this season is like the match between Manchester City and Tottenham.
