After a very convincing win over Wigan City in the fourth round of the FA Cup, everyone can now see that Wolves will host Arsenal tomorrow. However I fully believe that Arsenal will not want to draw in this match, at least because their long-term goal was thwarted by the draw against Brentford. They may have kept themselves calm after winning the FA Cup match but they will probably go crazy for a win against Wolves tomorrow and start counter-attacking at great speed, that's my opinion. We can see that City giants are the cause of Arsenal's headaches, so it may be right that the Gunners must win tomorrow's game at Molineux Stadium to get out of this situation but this 27th round match may be easier for them.

Chelsea are likely to take back the 4th place from Manchester United by the end of this week. Because their match is way easier than them. It is against Burnley home...

Chelsea should be able to win their next match since they playing against Burnley, and I don’t even think Burnley are going to give Manchester United difficult moments right now. If Chelsea can win their next match, they going to be taking over the 4th position from Manchester United, but Chelsea might not really be staying at the 4th position for long, because if Manchester United wins their match against Everton, then they going back to the 4th position, and Chelsea will be going back to their 5th position.

Manchester United will be playing against Everton, with the current improvement in Manchester United performance, then they should be able to win the match. Let’s just see how teams are going to perform, we just making predictions, and nobody knows what’s going to happen.

[Minor Miner]

There is a very good chances that Chelsea will come back to there position which is the fourth and there last five games have been very okay so they have every possibility to make a come back, I don't know what Manchester united are feeling like I have a strong feeling they won't last long on that position, and Burnley are playing together with Chelsea and they are not suppose to find it hard to win Chelsea because Burnley is already at the relegation zone so they don't have anything to lose at this point so this should be an easy win for Chelsea, so we know that for sure Chelsea will win. And in addition since Chelsea players are in good condition deliberation is not needed in this situation, and leeds are better than Burnley from what we have been seen. In this case we know who is going to win.

Chelsea and Manchester United have returned to form in recent times. Both these teams are undefeated for a long time. And there is a chance of them finishing in the top 4 of the table.

I consider Manchester United more deserving of fourth place in the table than Chelsea. They have played well against strong teams in the last few matches. If they can continue this trend, they also have the possibility of occupying the third place in the table. Aston Villa's performance is a bit erratic right now. Still each team will play 12 more matches. So anything can happen.

They have stabilized their performances, but you should not forget that Chelsea and Manchester United were among the biggest favourites for the EPL trophy. That is still a long way to go for them, but for now they are right into the competition for the UCL qualification and that makes it more complicated for teams like Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle or some others, when most of them are going through a crisis.

Still when Manchester United and Chelsea will be fully back to form, I think it would mean that they can finally contest Arsenal and Manchester City again.

Manchester United improved a lot than the previous years and Chelsea were quite unstable from years but especially after the removal of their ex president.
In English Premier League, the difference between them and Manchester City or Arsenal remain quite important. This season there is at least 8 points difference from them and this could eventually increases since they are unstable comparing to the other top teams..

If you compare those teams to themselves essentially, both Chelsea and Manchester United have improved, but to be fair here, that wasn't too hard for Manchester United after they finished 15th last season. But in the longer run I am convinced that their goal is to finally compete for titles again. It is the strongest league by far, but now that this maximum dominance is gone (by Liverpool and Manchester City, all of those clubs that have a long history of successes should be tying to achieve bigger goals again. Arsenal is not stable, Manchester City is not stable and yet the gap is relatively big between them and all the other teams.

Manchester United has also not undergone major changes in recent seasons, and perhaps only four games after the appointment of Michael Carrick, Manchester United has seen little change from their previous style of play. The situation of these teams is not much different, but despite Chelsea's poor performance in the Premier League, they have managed to win several trophies in the past, although they were not as prestigious. Arsenal have been stable in recent seasons, but they have also had the same problem, struggling to win trophies despite consistently performing well. Manchester City is much more developed than these three teams, having indeed won several trophies in previous seasons.

[tygeade]

Next target for Carrick is going to be Everton in an away game...

He is still unbeaten first of all. I really wished the Red Devils to make it a winning streak of 5 games but unfortunately they couldn't. At least they didn't lose though considering how late the equalizer was scored.

This is even a tougher game if you ask me. Everton are doing quite well by being at the 8th position. But their recent home record isn't that good though. They couldn't win a game there for a long time. Let's see how this ends. I believe in Carrick not to lose again.

I still can't believe that he is undefeated, this dude has done something that I could not imagine for many years. He was considered as an interim manager because lets face it he just promoted to manager until they found someone new after they fired Amorim and the fact that he became even better than past many managers is seriously weird.

I mean United is doing so good these days that I think even third place is not impossible, not going to be easy but also not impossible and that was not imagined as a possibility. Look at them last year and look at them now, sure not all of that is thanks to Carrick but many of them are. One downside for them was that Chelsea also did great during the same period, so United isn't relaxed just yet.

Yes Manchester united has improved alot but I don't think they can catch up to Manchester city and arsenal at the table. manchester united is far behind and overtake arsenal and manchester city they will need 13 points which isn't possible because arsenal and manchester city wouldn't just sit at a place and wait for united to catch up. Manchester united and chelsea are fighting for the 4th position in other to play in the champions league next season.. Manchester united should concentrate on securing their 4th place from chelsea so that they can qualify for the champions league.

I agree with everything you said here because I think that Manchester United performance in recent time is being over hyped and they don't have that space and time to close that huge gap between them and the first two team. It's true that they have improved tremendously, but if am not mistaken it's only 12 games left, which is approximately 36 points, so I don't think they can catch up with those teams now, because those top teams are even more consistent than Manchester United.

Additionally, they have improved quite alright, but how are we sure that they can maintain such form till the end of the season, considering what we have seen from Manchester United before now?
All those factors put together is enough reason for me not to be too confident in Manchester United till date

Arsenal really need a win against Wolves and I believe they will win the game today. Arsenal are in a position that every game is important for them to win. Manchester City is seriously breathing down their neck and Arsenal needs to show that they can withstand the pressure.  I still believe that Arsenal will win the Premier League this season, but they also have to show it on the pitch. Wolves are in a very bad form and I think Arsenal should take advantage of the situation and get 3 points in this match and also mount pressure on Manchester City.

At this point dropping points could make them lose their chance of winning the premier league title, they habw have been in good form but were a little shaky in their previous match against Brentford. Arsenal would definitely win today because they don't have a choice unless they are no longer serious about winning the premier league title. They need this three point to increase the gap between them and city.

[MK-74]

Arsenal will play against Wolverhampton tonight. I don’t think Wolverhampton, who are expected to be relegated, have much chance in this match.

For Arsenal, it is now very important not to drop any points, because they lost two crucial points last week and the gap with Manchester City has been reduced to four points.

There are still 12 matches left in the league, and they definitely must not drop points if they want to become champions.

[KTChampions]

Burnley are the worst team in the Premier League in terms of defense, having conceded 51 goals in 26 games, so it is logical to expect Chelsea to win, and most likely it will be a big one. But for Chelsea to surpass United in the standings, United must drop points. They have a tougher away game against Everton, bookmakers are pricing United's odds at 1.97, effectively 50%, but I still hope United don't drop points twice in a row against the underdogs.

Chelsea versus Burnley is just like a walk over match. Chelsea is obviously going to win this one and get a complete 3 points, but the odds is with Manchester United to do their part or lose the top 4 slot.
Although Everton is a mediocre club, but when it is against Manchester United, they know how to fight to the end.
So, Manchester United should be very careful.
As you said, I am also not sure that Manchester United is going to drop points consecutively for average teams.
It's going to be an interesting match but my bet is with Manchester United, they will not go with zero points.

On the other hand, bookmakers are willing to pay almost 20% for this walk  This season we have seen many times how Chelsea lose points in games against outsiders, I am not saying that this will happen in the upcoming game, I also expect a victory from Chelsea, but we must keep in mind that there are no guarantees.
Today the Wolves - Arsenal game will take place, the chances of Arsenal winning are also very high - 1.29, let's see how they realize them.

[Nightwatchmare]

If Arsenal can’t win the premier league title this season, then they should just allow Arteta go. We all know Arteta is a good coach, and an experienced one, but all what Arsenal fans are after is the trophy, if Arteta can’t get the trophy for Arsenal, then he should leave. Arteta have spent so many time at Arsenal, and he has not been able to win any major trophy for Arsenal, all what he has been doing is just to try, and at the end he will end the season in 2nd position, and Arsenal fans are tired of seeing that already, they want the trophy.

You can't actually deny that Arteta has been tryingin a bid to win the cup. Unfortunately, his efforts hasn't been fruitful so far as he has come to close to winning only to have another team overtake them and win the trophy. If following your advice and Arteta is let go, who would then be a better fit to lead Arsenal to victory?
I think Arteta could win the trophy this time around. I know they're presently just 4 points away from second place Man city with several games ahead to be played. Obviously, Arsenal supporters are hungry for the win but I don't think they're solely blaming Arteta for any wrongdoings. They ought to know he's trying hard to get the trophy at the end of the season.

Yes, anyone who knows when Arteta was made the coach of Arsenal and follow the premier league 5 years ago cannot deny the fact that Arteta has been trying to win the premier league title and he was close to winning it 3 seasons ago but he failed because either Manchester City or Liverpool would overtake Arsenal in the league standing when premier league matches are remaining 6-7 matches for the season to end and win the title. I do not support Arsenal to sack Arteta but if Arteta do not succeed to win the premier league title this season, i think Arsenal should let Arteta go because it obvious he does not have the mentality to win the league title.

Although teams in the relegation tend to be very tough and Wolverhampton would be very defensive, but Arsenal is a team adapt to any strategy, be it low blocks, high press, counters and so forth, and they have the trophy at stake and won't afford to miss the opportunity this year so they'll do everything possible to be Wolverhampton. Out of the remaining matches, if Arsenal can atleast win up to 9 or 19 matches then draw the rest, it would go a long way for them concerning winning the title this season.

Yea teams in the relegation act exactly as you said but thats not always and as we have seen wolves have don such, i want to say this categorically, if arsenal  don't win this match, they should know that they have created another opportunity for manchester city, this will the English premier League title more difficult for arsenal, arsenal is good at losing or drawing important matches but I expect them to win this one without any excuse whatsoever, this is an opportunity, I don't see or dream to see wolves as a threat to arsenal nah nah nah, they aren't, arsenal should apply whatever tactics they got as a club that'll be encountering a team that's not their equals.

I’m definitely confident that Arsenal will win the match because they are more inform, Arsenal needs to win this match because the match is very important to them. They have already draw their last match, which is now making Manchester city closer to them and if they should lose or draw this match again, then their chance of lifting the Premier league title will be very short, so if they know what is better for them, they should make sure that they win this match. They should put all pressure and strength to win this match and they should not be scared because one of the things I have noticed about Arsenal is that in a match like this they usually become scared and if they’re scared, they draw the match, but if they play any match without being scared, they win it very well. I just believe Arsenal will surely win the match.

On normal grounds Wolverhampton don't stand a chance against Arsenal in this fixture, they've not been lucky winning games recently so they don't stand a chance but with the league going to an end I won't be surprised if Wolves pull a surprising stunt in this game since they will be the home team.
The fact that Arsenal can't afford to drop anymore point makes it a difficult game for Wolves as all games are now important games for Arsenal. Just a few games to go so Arsenal will do anything possible to finally win the league, I hope they don't disappoint their fans again. I'm not an Arsenal fan but deep down I want to see them win the league because they've tried their best and deserve to win something too.

Arsenal clearly has a significant advantage over Wolverhampton in every aspect. In terms of players Arsenal has a very talented squad. And Arsenal statistically is far superior to Wolverhampton. The gap between their positions in the standings shows just how superior Arsenal is. Arsenal has won most of their matches against Wolves based on h2h. This season Arsenal has already faced Wolves in the 16th round of the Premier League, where they won it despite the narrow score. Arsenal also won their match last season. So I personally believe that Arsenal will dominate this match or even win it easily. The importance of Arsenal securing full points in this upcoming match makes me even more confident that Arsenal will fight with maximum performance. I'm sure Arsenal does not want to let their team lose points. And they do not want their position in the standings to be approached by other teams or even overtaken.
