Even though Arsenal looked worse but Arsenal also did not get consecutive defeats, but three consecutive draws. Indeed, this is of course a very unfortunate result because Manchester City is also getting closer and at the same time, Arsenal are still having trouble maintaining good results with three points in each of these matches. Therefore, at this moment Arsenal's position is indeed not safe, because Manchester City has a big chance to overtake Arsenal.
But regarding the match between Arsenal and Chelsea, I think it is clear that Arsenal will still get three points in this match. Even though Arsenal's defense is also on the decline, but I think Chelsea will still find it difficult to score goals. What's more, Arsenal still have the ability to make quick goals in the first half, so of course Arsenal will be able to defend it and can also score several other goals too.

In addition, I find the match between Bublik and Rune interesting.  Rune has had two exhausting tournaments. Monte Carlo and Munich. He self said afterwards that it was quite exhausting. I can imagine that there could be a surprise in this match.
The last match today will be between Carballes Baena and Zverev. The favourite is Zverev. But his performance has been very mixed in the last and I am curious to see how he will play this match.

Napoli are basically favourites, it's clear to me there is a reason. His success in Serie A and his relatively stable form led most people to believe that Napoli was the favorite to reach the final. Some people underestimated the chances of Milan appearing to be limping due to their unstable form, but in fact Milan was finally able to silence all these assumptions by beating Napoli in the first leg and drawing in the second leg.
Milan also has the chance to win a ticket to the final against Inter in the semi-finals, but now Milan is the favorite compared to the quarter-finals. Milan's chances are good, but I'm not sure Milan can win this tournament after a very long absence.

Anyone at this time would doubt Chelsea, we have nothing to hope for more with the Arsenal game. We already know the final result before the game starts, especially after the big defeat to Manchester City made Arteta no longer feel good with several games wasted. Talking about Chelsea's depravity, the season will never end, which is quite detrimental to many parties. Arsenal and Manchester City will face opponents they can accumulate wins on.

Lucknow Super Giants
 Batting first they gave a target of 257 runs in 20 overs. Now I am waiting to see if Punjab Kings can cross this target. I think they will not cross this run target today. Looks like Lucknow Super will win the match very easily today. Lucknow Super  Team batsman Stoinis scored 72 runs off 40 balls. K Mayers scored 54 runs off 24 balls. Great performance K Mayers.

I also do the same thing, hoping that Napoli can go to the final. but Milan did everything very well. they showed that the quality of Milan's game still had to be taken into account.
now facing Inter, there will be more Milan fans here. two big Serie A teams will fight over 1 ticket to the final match. Milan has a better experience. maybe there will be a final match between two equally experienced teams. Milan and Madrid. i just hope it is.

202 runs is a big collection. But even then Rajasthan Royals are likely to lose. Opponent Chennai's batsmen are in very good form now. This is why the team is at the top of the points table winning 5 out of 7 matches. However, if Chennai loses against Rajasthan in today's match, they are likely to lose the top spot in the table.
Chennai collected 68 runs in 9 overs. Chennai now needs 135 runs from 66 balls to win. This is a very difficult task. Even then they lost only one wicket. Victory is still possible. Devon Conway's batting really surprised me. He scored only 8 runs off 16 balls. Never thought to see an experienced batsman like him perform so stupidly.

The last three matches that Arsenal played draw was actually the main reason behind Arsenal's desperation about today's match, but if we rate Arsenal's overall performance this season, they have really tried and they deserve something this season, but fatigue and minor injuries were the cause of Arsenal's poor performance in their last three matches, even though we all know the draws were not easy matches for them.

I don't think Real Madrid's not-so-good performance in the Spanish La Liga should be a yardstick to measure how they're gonna performance in the UEFA Champions League competition. Yesterday's defeat against Girona in their league match, I think was caused by the fact that Real Madrid wasn't playing out their heart in that match. As a matter of fact, they rested some of their key players in other to retain their energy and keep them fully fit for the match against Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City won't even want to rate Madrid by their performance in their league because Madrid is known as specialists when it comes to the Champions League competition.

The three draws won by Arsenal a few weeks ago have made their position even more threatened by Manchester City and in the match later it will probably be a big battle to determine the chances of winning the EPL for both teams. Being 5 points adrift is not difficult for Manchester City to shift Arsenal, moreover Manchester City has a smaller number of matches which can be an advantage for Pep Guardiola's squad.
Seeing the odds, Manchester City's victory is highly favored because they are also the home and the odds for Arsenal are too big in my opinion, but this is a risky bet and anything can still happen. So I think betting on the result of over 2.75 goals with odds @1.83 in my opinion makes more sense than betting on the victory of one team.

Jason Roy and Nitish Rana's batting impressed me. Jagadeesan and Iyer's batting at the same time was very boring. Iyer was able to collect 31 runs off 26 balls. The team expects better innings from an experienced batsman like Iyer. I would have been happy if Iyer had returned to the dressing room with 31 off 20 balls.
However, Kolkata managed to collect 200 runs in 20 overs. Kolkata has given a target of 201 runs. It wasn't a bad collection. However, the performance of the Kolkata bowlers is very poor. Kolkata's bowlers will definitely need to perform well today if they want to win against Bengaluru's experienced batting line-up.

Ireland put up an impressive performance in 2nd test  cricket match against Sri Lanka. A. Balbirine played exceptionally well scoring 95 runs with the help of 14 fours, coming just 5 runs short of a century. Curtis Campher and Stirling also showcased their batting prowess, both scoring well deserved centuries which contributed to a formidable total of 492 runs for Ireland. Sri Lanka, in response, started their innings strongly, with a score of 81 runs without losing any wicket led by Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka. Ireland bowlers will need to work hard to break through Srilanka strong start and take wickets to limit the trailing runs.

The current Gujarat Titans team is much better as compared to the Mumbai Indians team. Batting first Gujarat Titans scored 207 runs which means that they already have an advantage of the high target set for the opponent Mumbai Indians. Most of the batsmen socred near 50 runs from Gujarat Titans. Shubman Gill scored 56 and was the top scorer.

In reply, Mumbai Indians are 45-3 which clearly suggests that they again will face the defeat today. Once again Rashid khan is showing his magic and took 2 wickets in 2 overs giving away only 6 runs.

Ireland and Srilanka are playing second test match at Galle. Ireland choose to bat first and score is 47/2 after 12 overs. Ireland first priority will be not to lose wickets instantly like they did in first test. Irish captain Andy Balbirnie is playing aggressively and scored 30 (28). Its good opportunity for Ireland to prove that they are eligible for test cricket. If Ireland collapsed like in first test then they won't be able to get next test match for sure.

It is something weird and unexplained with Barcelona defense system which looks like a solid rock in La Liga but suddenly becomes more fragile in Champions League and Europa League.
In my opinion, their defense system is not too strong but it is supported well by their midfield and attacking systems which all together help Barcelona to have high ball possession which in turn helps them to reduce risk on their defense system. They managed to do it successfully in La Liga but failed to repeat it in both Champions League and Europa League.

Dhoni doesn't want to reach the crease earlier. Most of the time his entry is just to cheer the audience, because a huge crowd comes for him and this can be disappointing. Just the two balls made the crowd feel happy. He lets the players have their freedom and perform at the right position. As said it is too early to think about lifting the trophy, because the competition is at its high and every team is performing well. With yesterday's match CSK have scored 200+ runs in 26 matches and it is the team to have such a record. In IPL 2023 it the team to score maximum number of sixes. Chennai have got best opening that is much helpful for the middle order to perform without much pressure. On the bowling line-up, improvement is needed.

Sporting played well against Juventus, it's just that maybe they weren't too lucky to qualify for the semifinals. But overall they played well and if they can go through they deserve it in my opinion. Now that all has passed and the opponents they will be facing are already in these semifinals, so they better focus on the matches that are coming up.

Juventus' performance against Sporting wasn't impressive at all. It was a really competitive matchup about the score maybe but I didn't like Juventus in any legs. I don't know if they can apply the same game plan against Sevilla as well. Considering that Sevilla are the most dominant team of the Europa League for years it will be really hard.

Royal Challengers vs Rajasthan Royals

As usual it is du Plessis(62 runs)and Maxwell(77 runs) that scored good for RCB. Finally Royal Challengers were able to reach 189 runs losing 9 wickets. Rajasthan Royals started good, but Padikkal and Jaiswal losing the wickets when they're supposed to create the winning momentum made the team into critical situation. At the depth overs Hetmyer wasn't able to perform good. Maybe if he had scored 10+ runs the match could've been a win for Rajasthan Royals. Ashwin kept the winning momentum till the last over. Finally RCB won the match by 7 runs. Once again the first batting team have won the match in chinnaswamy stadium.
