I don’t think you understand what depth is all about. The recent injury to William Saliba, for example, has proved costly. So has the drop-off in form of Thomas Partey. They are not built for a title challenge. Let alone for the demands of Europe as well. In the absence of Saliba and other important figures, a lack of depth and resilience in the squad was exposed.
Compare and contrast with City's squad. They boast at least two top quality players in each position because Guardiola has shrewdly build up his squad over a number of years with infinite resources.
Honestly I know that the mental scars of this campaign will be harder to fix. Arteta’s players will have to learn from the fine margins of recent weeks, while him, the manager  will have to become more flexible in his selection policy to reduce fatigue.

Apart from a lack of experience, Arsenal do not yet have a winning mentality. After managing to top the standings for a long time, Arsenal had to give up first place to Manchester City due to being unable to maintain their performance towards the end of the competition. Overall the depth of Arsenal squad is very good, initially Arsenal form of play was very impressive.

Arsenal started the season with a good start, they managed to pack 5 consecutive wins before Manchester United broke their winning record. Furthermore, Arsenal appeared consistently without defeat in 13 matches, to be precise, Arsenal suffered their second defeat in week 20 when away to Everton headquarters. Arteta needs to shape the character of his players so they can compete in the title race, next season Arsenal will compete in the UCL, without any changes in the squad it is very difficult for Arsenal to compete with big teams from various other competitions.

I think the lack of experience and squad depth cost them the title. Ultimately, Arsenal lacked the robustness to compete with Manchester City team vastly more experienced when it comes to winning the games that matter.
And that means Arsenal need more than reinforcements. They need added quality and added flexibility, different options to give Arteta different ways to play.
Arsenal must back Arteta in the transfer window to ensure all this progress is not spurned. Particularly given their top-six rivals will be stronger next season.

Leicester City vs Liverpool in the game between these two teams, Liverpool won the match by scoring 3 goals. C. Jones scored a goal in the first 33 minutes of the game. And the 2nd goal was scored in the 36th minute.  Jones scored 2 goals in this match.T.  Alexander-Arnold scored the 3rd goal in 71 minutes. Leicester City team players did not perform much in today's match. I thought Leicester City might score 1 goal but because of their poor play Leicester City lost today's match.

With the way Brentford are going I believe they'd make it to Europe competition come next season, they have proven to be outstanding and they make sure their presence are being felt by the bigger boys. Going head to head with the Spurs side is just going to be another game I feel they [Spurs] will struggle again, I still don't know the main target of the Tottenham side because they're just excellently poor since the whole of this campaign. They lost their last game and they're to entertain Brentford who I'll say are better than Tottenham this season. IMO, Brentford would make Spurs to be in a confused state in that encounter, it is either a draw or a win for Brentford.

I would like to draw an analogy to poker here. It is not only Manchester United that could be overtaken by Liverpool, but also Newcastle who have quite a difficult three games to play with Brighton, Leicester and Chelsea. In Poker I would call Liverpool's chance a double gutshot. As it is typical for gutshots, they are not very likely to happen, but it can happen. Liverpool for now only needs one of the two teams, Manchester and Newcastle, to tie their next game. I would say that the chances for that to happen are not insignificant. I wouldn't call the chance big, but maybe around 40 - 50% that either of those teams ties their next game. If that happens, Liverpool has a real chance to make the surprise happen towards the end of the season.

Everton's 5-1 victory over Brighton isn't as shocking as Arsenals 3-0 defeat to Brighton days after Brighton were humiliated by Everton. Liecester's poor season looks like will cost them demotion to the championship at the end of the season, Southampton are already relegated after 7 plus years in the  premier league.


Brentford have a good form this season, and with Europa conference league in sight for them this season they will be looking forward to finishing in 7th of 8th position to play in European competition next season. In the next game against Spurs I expect something mind blowing from Brentford, it will a difficult task playing away but for the sake of their objectives I expect a positive result for this game against Spurs.

It's true that Liverpool are a little late in developing their game to be better, but at least what they are trying to achieve will be possible, because there are two games left and I think these two games left will be easier for Liverpool, first against Aston Villa it will be home games and Liverpool always looks fierce at Anfield with the atmosphere of the amazing supporters and the last game against Southampton the club that is certain to be relegated because maybe Southampton is no longer motivated whatsoever.
Moreover, Liverpool already has 7 points ahead of Brighton who also has an advantage with 2 games less than Liverpool, but the two matches that will be played by Brighton are a tough matches where they are very likely to lose two points because of the draw against Newcastle which I think is just likely Brighton will lose because of playing at St. James Park is hard enough for any team to get points, and also to lose full points because when facing Manchester City it will face the team with the sharpest attack in the English Premier League at the moment.

In the match yesterday Leicester wasted a chance to overtake Everton and this result should keep them for a while at the 19th place and with two games remaining there are still a few clubs with chances to go down so they have to fight to be able to survive and Everton seems to be facing an easier match so that they will have the chance to stay at the EPL.

Thrashing Leicester with adequate pressure from the Reds only sends a strong message to Manchester United and Newcastle United, indicating that they have a serious contender for the top four. It's tense seeing these great clubs struggle for UCL places knowing full well they were giving up at the start of the season. They are fighting to maintain consistency, particularly at the end of the current season. Liverpool is on a seven-game unbeaten streak, which must be maintained if the club is to qualify for the Champions League this season.

Seven Primer League winning in a row make Liverpool give huge pressure for Newcastle and Manchester United compete with top fourth standing position. Winning over 3-0 from Leicester City, Liverpool remaining one points left from Newcastle and Manchester United on the 3rd and 4th position and excited for two matches left any possibilities with Liverpool lock one Champion League spot standing.

Liverpool has impressive performance at the end Primer League season, but their opportunity with Champion League spot depend on Newcastle or Manchester United loss points on three matches left. Looking on Liverpool two matches left against Aston Villa and Southampton seems they will winning all. Just hope have any team between Newcastle or United loss points on their three matches left and Liverpool has chance back to the top fourth position.

They are fighting and trying to achieve a spot in top four till the season ending. If the season has about 3 or 4 more matches than now, very possibly that Liverpool will beat Manchester United. However it is a big if which does not exist in reality and Liverpool have to move forwards and they must win their two remaining matches. At the same time, they have to wait for Manchester United to lose about 4 points at least in three remaining matches. Liverpool can complete their task but they have to rely too much on Manchester United.

Chance for Liverpool is not too much, but too small indeed. They will need Manchester United lose 1 match, 1 draw or 2 draws in three matches in order to have same total points. If two clubs have same total points, Liverpool will have better direct statistics and goal difference than Manchester United.

Yes this is a very important condition which I don't believe will happen.

I believe that Kopp got the turnaround with Liverpool. I was quite sure that Klopp and Liverpool might part ways after this season, but now even if they don't qualify for the Champions League, which would be bad by the way in my opinion, I think they are going to stay together and try again in the next season. The Champions League would put an end to a very complicated season, but we have to wait and see.

But the mood now is different in Liverpool and it really hit a bottom a couple of weeks ago, or even several times over the course of the season and I thought that this is probably it. Real Madrid was a topic and Klopp was a name that was connected to other clubs, now I think this won't be the case anymore.

It's only natural for Leicester to lose against the strength of Liverpool, who are superior; it's difficult to get a win against a team like Liverpool. With this victory, Liverpool managed to climb to the top five, and Liverpool managed to win five times in a row. Liverpool must continue to maintain this achievement to climb to the top three at the top of the standings.

It never really ends with the EPL even with the league coming to a closure. It's just hard to accept that Leicester City that has been doing so well in a couple of seasons have landed themselves at the relegation zone and won't be getting much views in a while.
Klopp has just been about showing the might of his Liverpool side and today was no difference, beating Leicester City to a 3 goals to nothing. M. Salah dint manage yo fins himself on the score sheet today but, his efforts were all that made the goals for the Liverpool side today. Another day and game to  make still an ambitious Liverpool at the dead of the league but, its just late to have any ambition  for the Top 4 now.

That result being made by arsenal itself. I see no reason to feel disappointed about that. 33 weeks are very long but they were missing it at the end of season which is their own fault. Manchester city has been performing even better compared with arsenal but it gets less expose from media. Manchester city deserves EPL trophy this season. getting bad result in a row was making arsenal lost its big gap to the manchester city.
The players must become the party that must be blamed. Its coach was also over confidence to get EPL.

If arsenal could maximizing the performances at the end of season and i think that arsenal can still become champion right now. Arsenal is trophyless again yet the second place has become great achievements by arsenal at this moment.
Arsenal must change its target to be UCL spot caused by it's the same like a trophy for arsenal.

What a great result by arsenal to be on the second place.

According to my assessment based on Liverpool's current form and the upcoming games for Manchester United and Newcastle, the possibility of Liverpool finishing in the top 4th spot is still very much a possibility.
A point and two points separate Manchester United and Newcastle from Liverpool, respectively, and neither team has played their 36th game like Liverpool.
Liverpool will benefit greatly in the race for the top spot if Manchester United and Newcastle lose and draw their respective matches. To accomplish that achievement against Manchester United and Newcastle would be a miracle.

That was making leicester is surely to be relegated. A bit surprised that to see that how leicester has been destroyed by liverpool. What a great game from liverpool right now. I wanna say that if liverpool is doing its great job right now. I would like to say that if leicester city was missing so many chances but the result is still acceptable for liverpool. I wanna say good bye for leicester. It's very disappointed to see that their favorite teams must be playing in the championship next season.

What a garbage performance from leicester city. I just see that how fans were expressing their disappointment to the leicester city on leicester city fan tv.  

The conditions are now clear, it seems that for Leicester, especially against Newcastle and Westham, it will definitely be very difficult for them with the current conditions.
It's really very unfortunate for their performance this season even though before they were still quite good by being in the top 10 but this season they are in a free fall in terms of position and this is the same as Chelsea and West Ham also actually whose performance has decreased quite a lot.

It's sad to see Arsenal, 33 weeks at the top of the standings, with 30 weeks standing alone and 3 other weeks side by side with other teams until last January. Arsenal even had an 8 point lead from Man city, what can Arsenal do to be consistent at the end of every season because they don't have good squad depth.

Moreover, Arsenal are not used to playing under pressure and in the hunt for the EPL Champion. Once he was on the road to win the competition, he instead competed with Man City, who usually overtakes at the end of the season, and it's been proven that in the last 5 matches at the end of this season, Arsenal have started to panic.

I would have agreed on this prospect if actually there were all competing in other leagues like the eredivise or the league 1 but I doubt that Manchester united and Newcastle are going to keep a smooth record when it comes to securing the three points from the remaining three games they both have. Liverpool have done excellently well although they had some rough times but its good to see them back in form again and winning matches and they could just manage to squeeze themselves in the top four if only Manchester united and Newcastle does flop and drops  any valuable points which I know is very possible.
