I can’t believe WBA might have thrown it all away, Brentford only need a draw to go into 2nd place. Should be interesting to see who gets the 2nd automatic promotion place.

Brentford is currently losing to Stoke 1-0 Cheesy

Maybe Brentford too can crumble under the pressure? I certainly wouldn't mind that to happen and for Bilic to finally be the lucky one in the end!

Can Stoke save the WBA?
Brentford had won eight in a row before today but if they lose today then they brought the WBA back to life!
The Championship is really probably the toughest league in the world, for a reason.
A lot of matches, great efforts and stress and it is not easy to endure to the end.

I was so sad to see Watford losing Sad

I was supporting them to win so that they could guarantee their stay in the league, after all they have a bitcoin symbol on their jersey and they are sponsored by a crypto sportsbook, so if I am going to feel anything for an english team that should be Watford, I do not know any other team anyway in the sense that I am not british so I do not have connection with them.

Of course it is still possible that Watford could stay but its no longer up to watford to stay, they will probably lose the other two games, Bournemouth however faces teams that are not bad but not good, so they could maybe beat one of them and that would be horrible for us. I don't know what to expect anymore, just 2 games left and I do not have any nails to bite on from all the anxiety.

Arsenal - Manchester City

The difference is too big, I will wait 15 minutes to place my bet

Arsenal have improved a lot in these few weeks. Arteta did a great job fixing the midfield puzzle but overall there is more to fix like defence for example. City are gonna pull their possession game as always again and I am sure that Arsenal defence won't be able to handle it. Only thing that could work out for Arsenal is going head to head and play offensive style but the chances of that to work out is also very little.

Still don't know what might be going inside Guardiola's head so will wait for the lineup.

Congrats to Leeds fan, promotion well deserved. They showed why they were favorites to win Championship and get promotion this season.

Well someone should tell them they aren't coming to an inferior league like the one they're getting promoted from. I hate when teams get promoted yet couldn't retain the pressure of the league and end up getting relegated the next season. The promoted teams should bring in their A game as teams like wolves and Sheffield United did not not disappointing their fans as Norwich did.
Well let me give them a benefit of doubt to see how they perform, wishing them the best though.

Norwich - Burnley

it will be a very interesting game because on the one hand we have Burnley who made 5 games where he only scored 1 goals, but miraculously managed 3 draws and two victories. (unbelievable that he even drew with Liverpool). On the other hand we have Norwich with 5 losses, I bet Burnley will win that game

A few months ago I was sure that WBA will be first or second in Champions without any problem.

Yeah me too, and rest of WBA fans as situation looked great then.

I'm not sure what happened with them but in the last a few weeks they don't play well.
It see they lost confidence and don't play well under pressure.

Despite being among top scoring teams, they simply lacked top goalscorer, and in these crucial moments you need someone you can rely on to get the ball in. Their top attacker, Charlie Austin scored only 10 goals this season, and that's not enough to even get to top 25 in Championship. For example, Brentford has Watkins that scored 25 and Benrahma 17, Fulham has Mitrovic with 25, Leeds have Bamford who scored 16 etc. Imho, that should be their man focus for the next season, whether they get promoted or not. And new goalkeeper.

Remember match between Croatia and Turkey in Euro 2008?
His teams always play well in different competitions but when he and his teams just have to finish job always something happen.

I am still trying to forget that match Cheesy

But yeah, I like Bilic and I think that he is a good coach, but somehow he tends to mess things up. It is also fair to say that before season started no one expected WBA to be at the top for so long, so even if he fails to get them promotion, I wouldn't call their overall season complete fail.

I agree with you.
Just reading some articles online and many people are upset with his words after last match.
It seems that he gave up from second place and already preparing his team for playoff.
He also said that his players was under big pressure and didn't play well.

Norwich city would be playing for pride right now, I will be hoping the win this but Burnley will not be sympathetic to them, the very possible good result they can get is a draw, and I predict a full time draw in this match, at the start of the season Norwich was out if the three teams promoted the one to do well, but it was not to be, Sheffield united became the revelation.

Leeds united, are a historical team, and after a long absence in top flight football they should make something work for themselves, the bottom line is every season three team will be demoted and three promoted the circle will continue, sad for the related team and congratulations to the promoted teams

In the Championship West Brom failed to win so Leeds & Biesla are now in the PL. It’s been 16 years since they played in the PL so glad to see them back now.

WBA was just awful last night, they simply didn't react good under pressure. Worst of all, they were so bad that if they continue to play like this , they won't have chance to get to Premiership through playoff. Their best chance is Stoke somehow beating Brentford tonight, but based on the current Brentford form (6 wins in a row since season restarted) , I don't see that happening.

Congrats to Leeds fan, promotion well deserved. They showed why they were favorites to win Championship and get promotion this season.

Easy 3:1 win for West Ham and they should now be safe to stay in EPL
and play next two matches with Manchester United and Aston Villa without big pressure.

Looking at Norwich vs. Burnley I think this should be away win, and odds are nice.
Norwich is last place, going out of EPL and lost nine previous matches, while Burnley didn't lose in last five matches.
Maybe Burnley can even finish above Arsenal with win here.
Both sides have some important players inured, so only lower stakes for me.

I have a feeling that Norwich will win tomorrow against Burnely as they need to prove for themselves that this year was nothing but a bad coincidence because their game was pretty solid but they didn't manage to hold their advantage in important games. Furthermore, we know that they have some big salaries so for some players this is kinda their last chance to prove for other big teams to transfer them and stay into EPL.

Prediction : Norwich multigoals 2 or 3.

I mean don't get me wrong he is not a bad coach at all but to say that he is the best in the world? First of all, to me Sir Alex Ferguson will be the best coach to ever exist for a long time, no coach right now could even get close to that level just yet, we are talking about decades of awesome football, all coaches today just do good for a while and just do nothing but ride on that success. Secondly, he never really managed a club that is challenging champions league or anything, he was never coach of teams like barça or madrid or liverpool of today, the teams he managed Argentina, Marseilla, Lazio, Lille and now Leeds, how could someone be the greates coach ever and not picked up by any team that is better than those teams? I guess he just likes him.

He managed Chile too and they were playing their best football at that time. Bielsa's problem is that he does not do compromise, he demands 100% out of his players all the time and always wants to play attacking football. He does not get along with practical stuff so well, but he is one of the most influential coaches in last 30+ years.

He is a genius indeed and geniuses don't get well accepted and understood at their current times, Bielsa is accepted though and recognized though, but at big clubs there is usually not much space for autocrats who don't accept a position where they don't have max freedom when it comes to managing a team.

yeah, Watford is hard to watch, and i am also glad that Leeds is back, West Brom lost made them maybe to enter play-off, and that is always a lottery, Brentford seems as ready to catch position 2, since their form is worth Premier league after the restart

The worst thing for Watford is that they have 2 very tough matches coming against Arsenal and Man City. I say they need at least a draw today otherwise they are in big trouble,but West Ham is already up 2-0.

HT 3-0...seeing Watford play requieres a lot of mental strenght, so hard to watch, i'm done =P

Good thing is that them losing today means that Aston Villa may still have a chance of avoiding relegation

Come on, Villans, you got this!

Well, it is cool that we saw the fighting even to the last game. Watford will go down or not? West Ham will go down or not? The last champions league will be which team? There is 2 spots available actually with 3rd place and 4th place but three teams are fighting for it. I mean it is really going very well for the league viewership, everyone is playing like it is an amazing football and watching is great. Plus, there has been some unexpected results as well, there has been a lot of eye brow rising situations too.

I just hope that next season would be as good as this one but without breaks, it was a horrible period with hundreds of thousands dead, hopefully we would never have something like that ever again, and the season will be filled with a lot of close rivalry between teams like this.

Big game tonight - West Ham vs Watford.
I there is a winner they will effectively be safe from relegation. Should be a really good match, full of desire. I’m really looking forward to it.

But looking at the current score, it seems West Ham have higher chance to win , score is now 2-0 for West Ham and only 10 minutes after the game start . Bad start from Watford Tongue

The worst thing for Watford is that they have 2 very tough matches coming against Arsenal and Man City. I say they need at least a draw today otherwise they are in big trouble,but West Ham is already up 2-0.

West Ham United 3 - 0 Watford

things are definitely not going well for Watford and if they continue at that pace they can still suffer many more goals. Is the end for Watford in the premier league
