Before the Chelsea game against West Ham this afternoon, I had predicted that Mauricio Pochentino's men are going to win the game but I never for once thought that the win will be as massive as what we saw this afternoon. 5:0 win for Chelsea to increase their chances of playing in the UEFA Europa League competition next season even when they know that they'll face a serious battle to achieve that. Currently, Chelsea are two points behind 6th placed Newcastle but will only retain their current position if Manchester United fail to get a result against Crystal Palace tomorrow.
Crystal Palace have been impressive in their recent games and because they'll be the host team in their game against Manchester United tomorrow, I believe that they might get a win in that game but if Manchester United cab play in their full strength, they can as well grab all three points from that game.

Last season was the best one for both Manchester City and Haaland. Not only did they won the Premier League title by a with a good point difference but also won Champions league for the first time. On both league, Haaland was the top scorer.
This year the only difference is the performance had been a bit off for both the club and the player and even though they had a good champions league, they failed to reach the finals. The Premier League title would go to Manchester City and Golden boot to Haaland but they need to come up with something new next season if they want to keep their winning streak.

                     Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham

Liverpool was able to take the lead in the early minutes of the game, and the goal was scored by Sallah on the 6th minutes after he got an assist from Gakpo. It seems Liverpool have become a bit serious in this match than their previous matches with the way their game composure is today. Robertson also registered his name on the score book on the 45th minutes before extra time with a rebound which was taken by Sallah, as the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario punch out Sallah's easy ball. Luckily enough for Robertson, he was at the right place at the right time.

Tottenham seems to have decline in form, because any club that they play with recently , always win them. They have poor game pattern and don't have the strength to hold on the ball for long. Maybe in the second half, the game will turn to their favor.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle will fight for a place in the European Conference League next season, but Newcastle still seems to have a chance of qualifying for the Europa League if Tottenham continues to lose points in the remainder of the season. Tottenham lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the first half and I don't see them having a big chance of turning things around in the second half. If Newcastle continues to improve and consistently wins for the rest of the season, then Tottenham might also drop from 5th position.

Manchester United certainly have a better chance of being ahead of Chelsea if they win over Crystal Palace away from home. Manchester United will be in 6th position with 57 points, they also have a greater chance of winning a place in the Europa League if Tottenham lose points again.

Haaland was bought by Manchester City to show his sharpness in finishing in big matches, not small ones. He can win Premier League title with his team and a personal award for a best scorer but this season is not too impressive with Haaland.

He can score 2, 3 or 4 goals in a match but he did not score in so many matches and this is very different than last season. If we are sharp with our view on him, we can see in late of the last season, Haaland shown some signals that he got more troubles against defenders in Premier League. This season is an expansion of his troubles since last season and it's not randomly.

If Haaland won't improve himself in several months of the summer, he will face with more defensive solutions from defenders next season and might have worse performances.

Aston Villa is tired and they played a lot of matches the good thing for them is that they will probobly secure that champions league spot. Today they could have lost by a lot more and were just terrible,i had my money on draw but that late goal by brighton killed my bet. I dont think Aston Villa can win against Liverpool if they play like this.

Haaland has found his sharpness again at the right time, Guardiola really hopes that his flagship striker will always be the difference on the pitch to make it easier for Manchester City to achieve maximum results. Haaland impressive performance when Manchester City beat Wolves could increase the goal productivity of the team he plays for, especially since they have to sweep all the remaining matches to beat Arsenal for the second time in the race for the title.

Now is an important time for Manchester City, Guardiola is very lucky because none of his key players are in the treatment room. The full strength that Manchester City has can make it easier to win, especially since in the last 20 matches they have not been touched by defeat.

Do you think Aston Villa would win Liverpool next match. Its kind of difficult playing Liverpool. Its funny how they cant win against Brighton today but how did they win Arsenal both Home and way. Football is kind of very strange at times the teams you expect to win wont win they will lose when there are so much convictions that they would win the match.

Liverpool vs Tottenham has already began and Liverpool is leading with a goal. Although there is no hope of the EPL title now they are way backward the race now is only left for Arsenal and Manchester City.

Chelsea has improved a bit it seems that the extraordinary victory against West Ham United was not expected by many people, 5-0 for the victory made it unbearable and can immediately be in 7th place in the standings, I think to aim for the league qualifying position eroupa will be very difficult for Chelsea because there are still many tough opponents and the rivals are also big teams, Tottenham, Newcastle and Man United, they are also trying in the pursuit of that place, for the week Man United has not competed against Crystal palace which might get 3 additional points in this match and get back on track, or can even be above Newcastle if they get a victory with 3 full points.

Manchester City is now playing game without any pressure, and they are also having all available players into good touch which is giving them good results in last 5 games they are having 20 goals which are showing how strong they are in attack with Haaland is now in good touch and doing impressive job their defense is also doing good job as they concede only 4 goals but still we have to watch their next two games because now we are in crucial part of the season and any team can go through for the upset which can create good situation at the top their next three games against all London based clubs and their rival for the title is also Arsenal which is London based, so things are amazing with currently nothing is sure who is going to win title but due to bad results Liverpool is now out of the race for the title which is sad news for the fans and players as they are having just three games under outgoing Jürgen Klopp.

Chelsea’s performance was very impressive today and i was so surprised by the way they performed, they performed well all together and throughout the match they were amazing both individually and collectively. The bromance is starting to grow on them and i like the way they are not stingy with another anymore. They could have scored more goals but some were unlucky to score and that’s how it is you can’t score all your chances.

West Ham was so bad today that u thought it was Burnley at first, the Defense was weak and Chelsea exploited it well and Ogbonna in particular was giving them problems at that back. Only Kudus was really trying and fought  so hard but all his efforts was in vain.

They have improved quite well recently and i also think that they can compete well next season only if they bring in a new reliable striker to fill in Jackson place. There is a positive change at the end of the season now and i hope they maintain the same momentum next season and also improve on areas where they don’t pass to their teammates when they are not in better positions to shoot. Jackson is the worse culprit in this , i don’t know why he wouldn’t want to pass.

Chelsea really dominated the game, I don't know if they are now getting better or West Ham were very less of a threat, judging from their performance. I enjoyed watching the match, if only they played this way at the start of the season they probably would have topped Aston Villa and Tottenham . Manchester United is on the edge of losing their position, already lost the 7th position to Chelsea with  goal differences and if they should eventually lost to Crystal palace then no hope of retaining their spot over Chelsea because their next fixture would be Arsenal and in that match we don't expect a win, as good as they would perform in that match, may probably end in a draw.

Due to the landslide victory against West Ham United which they had just finished playing, the battle for positions 4, 5 and 6 in the standings was no less tight than the competition for position 1 in the standings. Chelsea has indeed shown that they are serious about aiming for a place to be able to compete in the European Conference League next season.
Their efforts to make this happen can be said to have a chance of being achieved provided they can wipe out 3 more matches which are relatively easy.

Newcastle and Manchester are eyeing that position too. Newcastle, which currently occupies this position, will continue to defend it. However, Newcastle is threatened with being displaced if Manchester United can win over Crystal Palace which will be played on 7 May.

However, Aston Villa's opportunity to get a UCL ticket is likely to be obtained, and Aston Villa's remaining toughest matches are against Liverpool and against Crystal Palace. And for the match against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa has a good track record but anything can still happen.
Actually, Tottenham also has the opportunity to overtake Aston Villa, but it seems very unlikely even though Tottenham has a two-game gap with Aston Villa. And in the remaining matches, Tottenham will meet tough opponents Liverpool who will play soon as well as Manchester City and apart from that Burnley and Sheff Utd.

I don't think Wolves in the team which can make any impact with their performance in last 10 games we are having thing has never been ideal like they are having just 8 points from the last 10 games with they concede 20 goals and score 9 which is clearly showing how things are going so they are not capable of stopping Manchester City, and they concede 5 goals which was good result for the Manchester City and with this match now we are having good booster for them because now they will be give their best in coming matches which will increase their chances and Haaland current performance is also at the top which is the right time, and we can expect few more goals in last three games which will give him best player of the season as well with this performance I am expecting we will have double for the Manchester City.

Manchester city needing haaland is something I can quiet agree with but agree that he will become the deciding factor is something I don't think is really applicable because Manchester city isn't a team the throws much dependence on a particular played even if we understand that the presence of certain key players means a lot to them as it influences their results but then they still try not to depend so much on such players.

So its still very possible Manchester city will perform well in his absence a typical example is with Kevin de brunye, he was injured a long time and yet Manchester city through his absence were able to still comfortably win games and they didn't have to wait for his return for them to be productive enough but then his return actually influenced their productivity and that's not in doubt because he's a key played and ofcourse does performs brilliantly when playing. Haaland isn't even a very creative played but more of an opportunist who knows how well to utilize opportunities.

Talking about creativity then we talk about the likes of Kevin the bruyne, fodden and and alvarea and sometimes doku, these guys do the creativity for haland to finish up, he's a good finisher a d always have a way around the goals so he's more of a goal scorer for the team but he's absolutely good at what he does and that's why he stands out and have that effect his absence creates for Manchester city.

they still need this kind of win to push them upward on the premier League table and boodt thier mentality going forward to the next season. It's just sad that they are getting into the wining ways when the season has almost come to an end but the good thing is that the boys are now playing as a team with Jackson, madueke and palmer making the attack very strong for Chelsea.

We can't cease to applaud palmer. Chelsea is doing this well because of his presence in the club and I know past Chelsea heroes like Frank Lambert and didia drogba will be very excited that the club is in the right hand.

It's an incredible 5:0 for the team and the fans and if Jackson was clinical and enough in front of the goal post, this would have most likely be one of those days an hatrick might shine on him.

Chelsea performance so far is very extraordinary and even now they have scored 4 goals, seeing Chelsea's performance today of course it is very difficult to be able to see Westham rise because indeed they continue to be pressured by Chelsea in every line of play, Chelsea seems to be very motivated to be able to end the season in the Europa League so it can be seen in the last few matches Chelsea players played quite impressively,  I think there is no doubt that today Chelsea will win with a big score and of course for now Chelsea are starting to threaten Newcastle United, Manchester United who will play tomorrow of course have to give up their position while this is taken over by Chelsea, Manchester United is of course Chelsea toughest competitor at the moment in securing tickets to the Europa League because indeed both have a very small difference in points at the moment.

In other matches, of course the match between Brighton and Aston Villa is very exciting, both teams so far still try to break the deadlock by continuing to attack each other, at the time I wrote this post Brighton managed to score one goal but unfortunately the goal was offside and made the current match still a 0-0 draw.  

Its 5 nil now and the boys are very promising. The game today is really about Chelsea. Westham isn't able to even breathe in this match. The Chelsea goalkeeper is on occasional leave from action owing to his team's continual pressure on the Moyes side. Nkunku has proved very significant in today's match. He's the threat of the frontline until his removal in the 77th minute. It was the best decision to remove some very good players and rest them for the next match. Chelsea is really very impressive in today's match, they've shown top class, excellent communication and coordination throughout the match. Westham had three attempts on goal but were denied by the woodwork. Nkunku is back from injury and its doing just fine in the match as always.

Game over 5 nil. Chelsea really drilled westham united in today's match to the delight of a die hard fan like me. Congratulations my boys!. We move to the 7th position on goal advantage. Brighton also leads Aston villa by one goal on injury time awaiting victory after they were destroyed by Manchester city within the week.

Aston Villa still have to play with Liverpool and Crystal Palace (the game with Brighton is now almost over and Brighton winning 1-0) so it is far from obvious that Aston Villa will be able to score 6 points. Plus, it has huge problems in the Conference League and it seems that after a good season they risk spoiling the whole impression at the finish line. The only thing that speaks in favor of Aston Villa is that Tottenham have equally difficult games (for example with City) and they will also lose points.
