[rahmad2nd]

We can all agree that today was Arsenal day, they had everything they hoped for well almost everything, they won their match against Aston villa despite going down twice in the match.

Also Manchester City who sat on top before todays weekend fixtures played a draw away against Nottingham forest, picking up a single point this puts Arsenal in top position and a game at hand.

It's great to see Arsenal back on track. even though they were left behind by a quick goal from Aston Villa, in the end they were able to make a comeback and win the game over Aston Villa. this result is very important, not only to remain at the top of the standings but also to revive the mentality and confidence of the players. the reason is, the Gunners' young squad had experienced a crisis of confidence, after obtaining poor results in four matches in all competitions. and yes, Arsenal are back at the top of the Premier League standings even though they are only two points away from their rivals, Manchester City.

On the other hand, it was unexpected that The Citizen had to be willing to share one point with Nottingham Forest. whereas, City had taken the lead in the 41st minute by Bernaldo Silva's goal. unfortunately, City were unable to hold on to the score until the home team equalized in the 84th minute. with this result, City must be willing, the leader of the standings was taken over again by the young squad of The Gunners. As an Arsenal fan, I'm very happy.

Arsenal's dramatic victory made them firmly back at the top of the standings with a point difference of 2 from Manchester City who were able to draw against Nottingham Forest plus 1 remaining match.
A thing that makes me fail to watch the Aston Villa vs Arsenal match live because there is one job that I have to finish.

From the video highlights, the Aston Villa vs Arsenal match is quite interesting, especially the match in the second half. Various attempts continue to be made by Arsenal to win but often fail. But Arsenal players continued to try to find a gap until finally they managed to score a goal in the 61st minute which was an injection of energy to win in extra time.

Also Manchester City who sat on top before todays weekend fixtures played a draw away against Nottingham forest, picking up a single point this puts Arsenal in top position and a game at hand.

Manchester City were unlucky because towards the end of the match Nottingham managed to make the score 1-1.
Chelsea were unfortunate to fail to win again at Stamford Bridge despite being a very active team in the January transfer window.

Now Liverpool won 0-2 against Newcastle. Perhaps the win in the derby against Everton carried over to this game.

Arsenal's comeback at injury time and Manchester City's draw at Nottingham were is something unbelieveble. Obviously most people think Arsenal and Manchester City haven't very trouble winning their respective match, but the fact is Arsenal would have had very hard time beating Aston Villa without Emiliano Martinez's own goal. It was lucky goal that saw Arsenal claim the top of the table again after Manchester City's draw.

Really, it is such good day for Arsenal. They should be quite happy because of Manchester City's failure today away from home. Arsenal are again ahead of Manchester City in points, now 2 points but there is a possibility of 5 if Arsenal win one match postponed in the next few weeks.

Arsenal is a bit more relief and in advantage right now regardless of the little gap they have over City, having won their game today and have Manchester City Draw theirs, with a total of 23 games played so far, while for City today's game is their 24th game.
I love the fighting spirit that I saw in the Arsenal team today which keeps them pressing on, great job because a lose today would have rendered all the whole effort in vain if City had won their game or as they played draw.

It was surely a hard fought win for Arsenal and a nervy one. But this game surely proves Arsenal is currently facing problems in previous matches Arsenal will have finish off this game early. We are just looking at city but Manchester isn’t far behind and I am enjoying this tittle race already. This race will get interesting when everyone starts participating in European competitions. Arsenal will find it difficult to rotate players but this match will give them the boost they need. Jorginho was superb today and if he play more like this then Arsenal will have solve a particular problem

[Jody.Drummer]

Chelsea again had to swallow defeat at home after Southampton could score one goal at the end of the first half and they could not equalize. Chelsea's front line is really in big trouble when they can't solve the problem when they are stalemate in attack. This is their 4th bad result after the previous 3 matches they could only get a draw. Also this is their second defeat in a short period of time after they lost their Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.

Arsenal were lucky enough this week where they were able to score a very good win against Aston villa due to going behind early in the first half but Arteta men were able to turn things around in the dying minutes of the match. On the other hand, things were unlucky for Manchester City because they took the lead first, but Nottingham was able to equalize until the end of the match ended in a draw.

thus this week arsenal again shifted manchester city from first place even the point gap between arsenal and manchester city is 2 points, arsenal also has 1 more game for that i think arsenal can learn to stay consistent and be careful in the upcoming matches.

[Leviathan.007]

I'm surprised he hasn't been fired before, after the defeat against Dortmund. And Chesley with such a squad does not show a normal game, which is surprising because the squad was strengthened by whom they could. There are no problems in any lineup, but the team plays as if it was a mid-tier team in the English premier league. The team is playing as if it is a mid-range team in the English premier league. Even Southampton cannot be beaten, although the referee tried his best, added 13 minutes to normal time, probably everyone expected at least one goal, but no. Chelsea lost their second match in a row without scoring a single goal.

That's very odd, Southampton won the game against Chelsea today with a 1-0 result. We know we should expect to see a team always winning the games but from what we saw in Dortmund match Chelsea had no plan in the game and Graham Potter failed, now in the premier league once again they lose, and this time against Southampton. While Southampton is literally at the bottom of the table while Chelsea got stars like Raheem sterling and spend lots of money for these players.

Arsenal congratulation to the club and their fans, Asernal is officially back to the 1st spot after they won the game against Astom villa and Manchester city losing their matchmaking them drop in their points.
Let's just hope Asernal will be able to sustain the position for another week which could possibly lead to their winning the league as the club with the highest points.

[DanWalker]

Man City is clearly to blame for this draw. They had a lead plus some brutal chances and they got punished for not taking them. Haaland missed such a big chance that i would think about this match for a long time,plus Foden didnt pass to him and slipped that could have gotten in aswell. Deserved draw for Forrest

Games are getting difficult and I can see City are also losing their touch. Forrest did well out there and yeah a well deserved point for Forrest. City played great in their previous game but today they were very far below their usually quality. Well it worked out well for us as we again some gap back on the table.

Manchester City should have taken the chances when they had them. Manchester City did have a lot of chances. After all, they had the ball 3 out of 4 times in the entire match. It is a surprise to me that they actually could not score 3 or more even though they had the chance. I would actually say that Nottingham Forest took the chance well and managed to score a goal. The fact that they managed to get away with a point from this match against Manchester City is basically a win for them.

I think today's draw is a very strong blow to the City players in terms of psychology. They had just won a head-to-head match against Arsenal and it seemed that things were starting to improve when they immediately lost points in the game with an outsider and now they are far behind Arsenal and powerless - there are no more head-to-head matches and now nothing depends on City. It is very difficult to be in this position and hope that the opponent will make a mistake.

[Velvet78]

What is going wrong with Chelsea still? I really can't figure out how they lost to Southampton in a home game.

Chelsea normally shouldn't have given them much chance during the game to them. But the opposite happened. Southampton found many chances to score and they benefited from one of them. Despite being the worst team in the league on paper they still managed to win this challenging game for them. I think Potter's time is slowly running out already. We might see Chelsea parting their ways with him in the summer.

It was my sincerest hope that Arsenal should win, and they didn't fail to impress. I was somehow worried about their recent performance having a toll on the game, but am glad they came back strong.
With this result, am sure their hopes of being the champion is half answered.
On the other hand, Liverpool FC won with a 2goal margin with an assist for the second goal from Salah who has been off radar for sometime now. The still got some spirit, let's hope this is a start of a good winning streak.

A draw in Nottingham vs Manchester City is a big surprise. City have been impressive in form in recent matches and it seemed that they would grab an easy 3 points today. From the course of the match, it also looked like it was only a matter of time before the visitors scored again. Nottingham's game consisted mainly of clearing the ball out of their own penalty area, with the occasional attempt to counterattack. And one of those few counterattacks brought the desired goal. Manchester players themselves are to blame, because there were plenty of opportunities to score goals, and some wasted situations today, such as Haaland's, should not have happened to them.

Chelsea's match today was just boring for me. This is not the Chelsea I once knew. No drive. Azpilicueta was looking dangerous in the first half but couldn't get the goal for the team. Southampton would have scored more goals if they knew what they were really doing, because they missed good set plays, they couldn't handle the offence calmly and lost the ball too easily. It was almost as if I was seeing a college football tournament.
Chelsea's manager, Graham better do something fast.

[3meek]

Newcastle has been playing a lot of draws lately... Of their last five matches they have two wins and three draws... At a time when Liverpool could win only one out of five away matches... I think Newcastle will win today... They're in very good condition now and Liverpool won't be able to do anything... In any case, Newcastle should not lose...

The most that can be expected from this match is draw, but since Liverpool's performance is not convincing, then Newcastle's victory can be expected. Newcastle have been the better team this season and they are strong enough to stay in the top 4 of the table compared to Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea. Newcastle is the strongest team in the Premier League this season with only 1 defeat in 22 matches. But because they got 11 draws, they are only stuck in the top 4.

Obviously Liverpool will find it difficult to grab points from Newcastle as they have been so inconsistent this season. Liverpool striker's goal productivity is very low, it is only 1.7 goals per game. So I guess you're right, Liverpool will lose to Newcastle and we'll have to wait and see.

Yes, I was sure Newcastle would win too... But the funny thing is, as I've written before, Newcastle haven't lost 21 home games in a row and the last loss was to Liverpool... And today history repeated itself... Liverpool beat Newcastle away again... I was also surprised by Man City who couldn't beat Nottingham Forest...

Arsenal back to the top position Primer League standing after last mast loss their position and today have advantage after winning from Aston Villa and another match Manchester City held draw by Nott Forest. Its seems comfortable awhile for Arsenal existing in first standing position and have one match left with 2 points behind Manchester City.

Up coming several games later seems Arsenal on the lucky trend because against with easy team and potential keep existing few weeks later on the top standing position. Inconsistency performance from Manchester City actually give benefit for Arsenal back to standing position and have chance again to be Primer League winner for this season.

It will be a slap on Guardiolas face for not taking chances of maintaining the top place
Forest defended greatly regardless thru earned the win
Chelsea need to know that the quicker potter leaves the better for themselves Chelsea has not been a good team since potter arrived

[ILuckyGuyI]

This week was very beneficial for Arsenal that's for certain. Because while they were winning Manchester City lost two points in a very simple game for them.

However Arsenal's win wasn't easy at all though. Firstly there was a goal duel by both teams. Saka's goal was the most impressive one to me honestly. His shot was so effective that the goalkeeper was really desperate about saving it. But while we were closing in on the end of the game Aston Villa wasted two big goal chances. I think that it was the breaking point of the game. Because right after these incidents Arsenal scored two goals in the stoppage time. Jorginho's goal was a really impressive and lucky one at the same time.  

[LUCKMCFLY]

Aston Villa are no joke they are a good team and I do not think it will be easy for Arsenal but I do think they will win.

Aston villa already with a goal ahead, making things more difficult for us. Good thing Arsenal were quick to respond, thanks to Saka we are back leveled. We cannot afford to loose this very important game else our title hopes are gone. I like as Trossard was allowed to start, it shows the intention of our coach that he has no plans to draw or loose this game. If we can get ahead before halftime, that will be great.

Well, I am surprised that in the 33rd minute of the game Arsenal was behind the score, I also saw that Dibu did a good job on goal, but really Arsenal was attacking very hard, the game was very exciting, Arsenal played very desperate I know that when a team is behind the scoreboard it looks more desperate, but Arsenal made 3-4 touches in defense and immediately put the ball in midfield, sometimes they gave the ball away, it's difficult to play like that because there is no control .

You have to play a game with more calm, one thing is speed and another is that they get out of control because there is no vision of the game, Aston Villa were much better, although sometimes they played with the ball and it did not go well for them, a counterattack is made with more measure.

Anyway the game for Aston Villa got out of control, because Arsenal equalized and then scored 2 incredible goals. The last goal was because Dibu was already at the other goal waiting for the last play of a corner kick, and the Arsenal player got away from them and scored the goal.

In another vein, I was surprised that Tom Hanks was watching the game from his VIP seat.

Arsenal profit from Man City draw to return to the top

A second-half fightback from Arsenal at Aston Villa, mixed with Manchester City being held at Nottingham Forest, put the Gunners back at the top of the table in yet another twist in the title race.

After losing their match and their position as leaders to Man City in midweek, Arsenal showed character to come from behind twice and score two stoppage-time goals in a thrilling 4-2 victory at Villa Park.

Chelsea again had to swallow defeat at home after Southampton could score one goal at the end of the first half and they could not equalize. Chelsea's front line is really in big trouble when they can't solve the problem when they are stalemate in attack. This is their 4th bad result after the previous 3 matches they could only get a draw. Also this is their second defeat in a short period of time after they lost their Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.

Very difficult to understand why Chelsea play this bad even though they have a great and expensive squad which was brought in a few months ago
Unfortunately the contribution of players like Felix and Fernandez is not optimal they have missed many points in the last 5 matches including today defeat
If Roman Abramovich still holds Chelsea obviously Graham Potter will be fired earlier because he was considered a failure.
