Even though Arsenal has the hedge over City technically speaking the chase for the title race is not got over, City still has some levels of hope that is dependent on how Arsenal will play the remaining of their games. Let's see how Arse could approach the game again West Ham tomorrow it will determine if Arsenal will win the league. But West Ham are the once that needs results at all cost because their stay in the league is no longer secure so tomorrow game for Arsenal is going to be a tough one.

I believe it is time for every Arsenal player to give absolutely everything they have, now that they have another opportunity to top the table. A two-point lead over Manchester City is certainly not secure, but Arsenal must be even more determined to hold onto their position throughout the remaining matches. I am absolutely convinced that Arsenal will give everything they have to win the Premier League title this season—especially since they are also highly motivated to double up by winning the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola surely deeply regrets what transpired in the previous match against Everton. To me, that draw was entirely unexpected and quite surprising. Today, Manchester City returned to winning ways, thereby keeping the title race increasingly fierce, even though Arsenal once again holds the lead, with a two-point gap.

West Ham are already in the relegation zone, which they want to avoid, but I don’t think they will be able to avoid it.

West ham is the team which I think Arsenal will find difficult to win. West ham is currently in relegation zone, and they won’t want to be relegated, they going to do everything possible to win the matches they are having left, and we all know how stubborn west ham can be sometimes, Arsenal winning them tomorrow is something which I think is going to be kind of difficult for Arsenal.

Seriously the match is going to be a interesting one, Arsenal is aiming for the premier league title, so I don’t think they will want a team like west ham to win them in a period like this, Arsenal will do everything possible to get a win in the match, if they can win west ham, I don’t think the two matches left will be difficult for them.

Chelsea really need this kind of performance to keep them in good spirit as they prepare to face man city in the FA cup final which I think will be one of their most important match this season considering how they dropped out of the Champions League qualifications and have not been putting in any good performances to impress their fans but if they could be able to show this sort of strong outing against man city just like they did today in Anfield they will really have something to be proud of themselves this season which is to win the FA cup.

I'm very impressed by Chelsea performance at Anfield today, I thought Liverpool would win Chelsea easily because of how poor Chelsea performance have been but today they put in a wonderful performance. Chelsea always play very good game against top teams but with the current form of Manchester City, it will be very difficult for Chelsea to beat Manchester City no matter how hard they try. Liverpool is not doing well this season, If Aston Villa beat Burnley tomorrow they'll take Liverpool position in the standing.

Manchester City has ended up winning the match today and that is a good one for them they needed to win the match in order to push ahead for the premier League title race, I know that Manchester City are doing everything possible to make sure that they win the premier League title but I don't think it is possible for them because they have FA cup final to play so they need to rotate their players in one of the premier League matches and that may cost them a draw or a loss so it is still in the hands of Arsenal all they need to do right now is to win all their matches and they can do it because they have what it takes to do it they should be very consistent, tomorrow they will playing against West Ham they  should win that match that's what I'm expecting from them.

Manchester City have lost the EPL already to be honest that's my thought. This season is for Gunners sadly, both teams were inconsistent but City still fail to use the opportunities they had, today's win is only going to increase the time before Arsenal are officially announced as Epl Champion.

The FA cup is going to be for them more likely and it's not like Chelsea is a much threat for them, I expect them to win.

I try to agree with you but it's not very true because Arsenal could also loose a game. Manchester city really messed up by drawing against Everton, thanks to Jeremy Doku's late equaliser. There's something about this Epl this season, the race has been competitive and I would say that Manchester city lost points out of pressure. If Arsenal doesn't win the league, they would probably also loose the champions League. Arsenal has less difficult games left compared to Manchester city too. If they win the rest of the games, they will win undisputed but Burnley as small as they look could hold them down or even Westham. I don't want to loose hope on Manchester city yet until the last day. Arsenal has the opportunity to win two major titles this season and would they bottle any of them in the end? Let's watch and see.

Manchester City won the match with three goals in the second half after failing to score in the first half. It was an important victory for City because they had dropped points the previous week with a draw, which allowed the gap with Arsenal to widen.

Tomorrow, Arsenal will play against West Ham. It will be a very important match for both teams, as both of them need a win. Arsenal are fighting for the championship, while West Ham are battling to stay in the league. Let’s see who will win this match.

After Liverpool failed to win against Chelsea and the game ended with a 1-1 draw, Man United had a great opportunity to seal the deal and secure their 3rd place, but they also struggled in their game against Sunderland.
A draw is a fair result but I think Sunderland was a better team today. That game can make fans to question whether Man United are really that good as their league position suggests. In many of their games they didn't dominate but were just better in converting their chances into goals. Some could call that luck.

There are some recent speculations in the media on whether or not he should be getting a permanent position after the end of the season:

On paper it's already over for Manchester City after their draw last Monday but it's football, anything can happen at any point in time.

From my personal perspective, there is still hope for City to reach the top of the table. I don’t doubt Arsenal’s performance this season anymore, but sometimes away matches make Arsenal slip up and end up with only a draw. At the moment, Arsenal still have 2 away games left against West Ham, who need points to escape the relegation zone, and Crystal Palace, who also keep fighting for points to stay away from the relegation zone.

IMO, City still have a small chance to win the title, but in the match against Bournemouth, they absolutely must secure all 3 points.

This could be the only chance left for Arsenal because looking at the conditions now their momentum is created again after previously Manchester City held the reins for 2 weeks so this must be used well of course by Arsenal.

Their situation is favorable and now and should be three matches against 2 clubs that are in the relegation zone and 1 club whose performance is erratic it will not be difficult.
 
This is a crucial moment for them as it's not just the trophy that counts but their integrity as a big club as runners up specialists have been quite attached in the past few seasons and now the opportunity is there to change that for Arsenal.
