Solid performance by both PL championship contenders.
It's fair to say that Wolves and Bournemouth are on similar level, and Man City and Arsenal handled them equally good, but I think Man City had much more fun during their game and appeared very relaxed. Haalands scoring 4 goals was much needed to boost his confidence for the upcoming 3 matches that will decide who wins the league.
He now has 25 league goals, so should be enough to secure his Golden Boot trophy, as the 2-3 places are 5 goals behind (Palmer and Isak).

The next week will be more challenging for Arsenal as they're playing Man Utd in Manchester. If they are to lose any points this season, it will probably be there.

[Miles2006]

Arsenal won their match 3-0 and in the meantime Manchester City is winning 2-nil against Wolves.

So for the moment if there are no shocking results during the second half nothing will change after this evening and therefore another small step forward for Guardiola and the victory of yet another Premier League.

Liverpool is out of the running, City is currently second but with a game to play and therefore potentially at +2 compared to Arsenal.

I wasn't expecting Wolves to do any wonders in today's fixture with Manchester city and I am also not expecting any other team that Manchester City is going to face to do anything against Manchester city. It is fine we just consider them to have won the league.
I am saying this because Totenham cannot stop Manchester city. If it were Aston villa I would have been more hopeful. And secondly Manchester United is going to face Arsenal. So the league is already decided. All fine teams should wait for next season. Gradually, English premier League is turning to farmers league as we fondly refer to Ligue 1.

The only high chance Manchester city have winning the title is due to the match fixtures and not just the fixtures but comparing both match Arsenal and Manchester city you’ll discover Manchester City have an extra final match while Arsenal has none. From my observation Manchester United can’t even stop Arsenal from winning the title this season cause Manchester United don’t have what it takes defeating Arsenal this season and I will not be surprised if Arsenal play united at old Trafford like the way they defeated Chelsea. The fact is Manchester City will not miss any chance winning the title but I prefer Arsenal winning this season despite their performance against Aston villa

[Issa56]

City will play Fulham, Tottenham and West Ham in their remaining matches. You can see it's not a difficult game for them. Tottenham are a strong opponent but they have lost their last three games. Their performance was really bad.

With the current condition of Manchester City, I don’t think the three matches they have left should be a problem for them. Tottenham, which everyone is thinking would give Manchester City a difficult time, lost their last three matches. I believe Tottenham losing their last three matches will motivate Manchester City to win them. I still strongly believe that Manchester City will be winning the Premier League this season. We all saw how Manchester City played against Wolves today, and we all know that the Wolves once won Manchester City this season.

If City loses one match then the title will belong to Arsenal. Even if City draw they will still be in second place if you look at the current goal difference. Manchester City must win all their matches to secure the EPL title.

If Manchester City loses a match and Arsenal also loses, the title belongs to Manchester City. I hope you know Arsenal are still having two matches to be played and anything can happen. If the last match hasn’t been played, any club can still lose, so both Arsenal and Manchester City have equal chances of winning and losing their matches.

[coinlocket$]

ok so Manchester city won today and almost won the title once again.

Score also for Haaland who with these goals almost won the top scorers, it wasn't very clear until a few days ago with many players there were within a few goals of difference.

The question to ask is will Guardiola remain for another year or has he decided to leave?

[nelson4lov]

if liverpool hadn't won the premier league a few seasons ago, this season manchester city would be celebrating 6 consecutive titles, they are looking like bayern some who won the bundesliga consecutively for many seasons. Manchester city is a big project. congratulations to guardiola for this great achievement

Klopp is the only coach that has managed to get ahead of Guardiola and that's just on a single occasion. Guardiola almost turned the best and toughest league in the world to another farmer's league like Bayern, PSG and maybe Madrid has done in their respective leagues. For someone that conquered the Spanish league, Bundesliga and the premier league, I'd say Guardiola is hands down, the greatest manager of all time.

That said, I won't be surprised If they end up winning it this season.

Guardiola has become a great manager with countless achievements. It's hard to dispute his capability that brings ideas to football and achieves trophies every season. He is the first manager to achieve two treble winners with two different teams. He also has capability to develop young talents despite having great players in his teams.

The only argument to doubt Guardiola is that he has always managed teams that have a great spending power. It sounds like he always chose to be in a safe place to chase achievements, but he achieved those anyway at a domination level. Klopp has a different managerial path, he has always managed teams that had to rebuild before achieving something. His first team was Mainz that he brought them promoting to Bundesliga for the first time in their history. His second team was Dortmund that was literally a bankrupt club when he took over the management. He has a big legacy in every (3) club he managed.

The victory over Sheffield has helped Forest close the gap on Luton and it has no chance for luton to overcome forest caused by the gap is too big. Luton failed to score three points in order to maintain their grip on Nothingham Forest. Luton's chances of being relegated are increasing after it got draw against everton in the previous match. Luton has no EZ fixtures.
I expect this club, along with Sheffield United and Burnley, to earn zero points until the end of the season. Luton are just missing their last chance to play in the Premier League. The club is completely clueless in its game against Everton.

It is obvious that if Luton will be relegated soon after it was missing all of important points, they will be the third team to go after Sheffield and Burnley and yeah they it has been confirmed since forst is starting to wider the gap to the luton, sheffield and burnley. these teams are not even worthy to be on EPL caused by they were not so competitive. I believe Luton has no chance of surviving this season because they are missing key points and it must be starting from championship division again soo.
It is only a matter of time before it is relegated to the Championship Division. They are all qualified for the EPL, but they must return to the Championship Division.

City will play Fulham, Tottenham and West Ham in their remaining matches. You can see it's not a difficult game for them. Tottenham are a strong opponent but they have lost their last three games. Their performance was really bad. But they can still secure a slot for the European league next season with the difference in points they have. They are 4 points ahead of Newcastle and 6 points ahead of United.

If City loses one match then the title will belong to Arsenal. Even if City draw they will still be in second place if you look at the current goal difference. Manchester City must win all their matches to secure the EPL title.

At least the 5-1 victory over Wolves has increased the enthusiasm of City players in pursuing victory in the next three matches. Arsenal and City are showing each other their quality to achieve the same goal, the fewer matches remaining, the fiercer the competition between the two will be. Arsenal really hopes that Manchester City will drop points in one of the remaining matches to increase its chances of winning the title, the only match in which Manchester City may drop points when playing at Tottenham. Competition from Arsenal means that Manchester City cannot suffer a single defeat in the next three matches. Games vs Fulham and West Ham can be won easily based on current performance, Tottenham will continue to chase wins to maintain their chances of getting into the top four while keeping their distance from Newcastle.

Write it this way, Manchester City will play Ful(harm ), Totten(harm) Hotspur and lastly West (Harm ) United, these are three clubs from london, are you also thinking what I'm thinking right now? What will they benefit of Arsenal wins the Premier League Competition?

They're not usually difficult until 90 minutes of the game has finally come to conclusion.
Tottenham Hotspur losing all three is enough reason why they will not want the lose further as they think they still have a chance of qualification for the Champions League Competition.

I will love that to be very honestly.... Arsenal has scored the highest goals in the Premier League Competition this season, Conceded the least goals in the Premier League Competition and also has the best defense this season. Isn't this clear that they deserve it?

Up in my head, I believe they will be winners of this Premier League Competition at the end of this session/ campaign.

[LUCKMCFLY]

ok so Manchester city won today and almost won the title once again.

Score also for Haaland who with these goals almost won the top scorers, it wasn't very clear until a few days ago with many players there were within a few goals of difference.

The question to ask is will Guardiola remain for another year or has he decided to leave?

I have also asked myself that, also if Haaland wants to continue here at City? There have been a lot of speculations, first Madrid, then Barcelona, nothing is official yet, but if one of these two leaves, then Man City will not be the same, and that usually affects it, I don't know if Guardiola will leave, really I think he would leave if Barcelona had asked for it, but that's not the case, Barcelona has decided to stay with The way they have been playing, I thought that if I were Guardiola I wouldn't leave City yet.

I think there are a lot of things he can do, and that he can come out on top.

[tygeade]

I think with the conditions and possibilities that Arsenal will face, I don't think Arsenal will ever underestimate who their opponents will be because it is clear that their priority now is the title race, so they should try to show their best in every match they have to play. It is a necessity because they are in a disadvantageous position and they still have to hope that Man City will slip up in one of their matches, therefore Arsenal must continue to win.

Even so, I don't dare say that Manchester City will get the trophy because even though there are only 3 matches left (4 games left for Manchester City), I think anything can still happen. After all, there are lots of surprises happening in the Premier League this season.

Do we still think that Arsenal is on the championship race? I am not saying that they are going to lose, of course they could end up winning, but I am just thinking that we are going to see them not do all that well, even if they end up winning every game left, City could do the same and I feel like it would require a miracle for City to lose a game after this point.

I believe that we are going to see Arsenal be second this season again. That is of course a situation that would be not too bad when you think about it, second place in Premier league is a great place to be, and if they did well or at least better at UCL, it would have been even better. All in all, I am expecting Arsenal to finish second, and do not give them much chance to win the title.

Pep can do U turn anytime, we can't fully trust the news that has published before. It totally depends on guardiola whether he will be leaving or stay in the club for another season.

Pep Guardiola has said he wants to manage a national team at a major tournament before he retires from coaching. Guardiola has a contract at Manchester City until 2025 and has not ruled out signing an extension. Asked by ESPN Brasil what was left for him to achieve, Guardiola said: "A national team. I would like to train a national team for a World Cup or a European Championship. I would like that."

https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39574919/man-city-boss-guardiola-eyes-international-job-future

Guardiola has hinted about how he'd liked to work as a coach for a national team that will play on the world cup or european championship. It's clear he will leave if there wil be an offer to become a coach for the national club as long as it will be playing on world cup or european championship.

I think there are a lot of things he can do, and that he can come out on top.

He has achieved everything in the club competitions. He never got a job to be a coach for national club. He really wanted it before he retires from his career as a coach.

[Cityhunter34]

It was really nice performance from the city boys yesterday after biting wolves by 5:1 and Haaland score 4 goals, I think is going to take the highest goals scorer of this season because cole palmer can not be able to bit Haaland because as long as Kelvin De Bruyne is the pitch their is still more goals for Haaland.

[Google+]

Do we still think that Arsenal is on the championship race? I am not saying that they are going to lose, of course they could end up winning, but I am just thinking that we are going to see them not do all that well, even if they end up winning every game left, City could do the same and I feel like it would require a miracle for City to lose a game after this point.

I believe that we are going to see Arsenal be second this season again. That is of course a situation that would be not too bad when you think about it, second place in Premier league is a great place to be, and if they did well or at least better at UCL, it would have been even better. All in all, I am expecting Arsenal to finish second, and do not give them much chance to win the title.

Arsenal at the moment I think should have to remain consistent to achieve all the wins in their remaining games, despite their very small championship chances at the moment because they pin hopes on a defeat or draw from Manchester City, because if both teams manage to achieve all the wins in their remaining games this season surely Manchester City will still be Premier League champions because they are 2 points ahead of Arsenal,  Defeat to Aston Villa in the previous match certainly made Arsenal chances of winning the Premier League this season very small because they let Manchester City lead two points at that time, Manchester City who are currently 1 point behind Arsenal with one game postponed certainly have a great chance to win the Premier League but all we know in competitive football like the English League of course everything can happen before the season ends.

Arsenal only hope that Manchester City have a defeat or at least a draw in the rest of their games, Although it may be very difficult to happen but still Arsenal have hope in my opinion, Currently Arsenal have two games left against Manchester United and Everton, while Manchester City must face Tottenham, Westham and Fulham, the expectations of Arsenal fans to see Manchester City slip of course in the game against Tottenham but still Arsenal should not be Dropped points from their remaining two games, especially against Manchester United later.

[emrecemsan]

The game ended in style finally for the gunners, next week would be against Manchester United and they shouldn't be scared of Manchester United in no way who are not in a stable position to defend that game to a draw or win.

Liverpool should kindly hide them faces. Maybe one of the last three london rivals of Arsenal would help them drag points with Manchester City. ( Fulham United, Tottenham Hotspur And West Ham United ) Another Clean Sheet For David Raya? Indeed he does deserves that Golden Glove Award. Congratulations to him again.

Arsenal are the most scoring team (88 goals) and Manchester United have really big issues with defending this season. Technically I also expect Arsenal to be able to win this one. However their recent head-to-heads causes me to be a little thoughtful as well.    Arsenal couldn't win at Old Trafford in the last two matches. If they get another hit here the title race is over...



Raya is indeed doing great. He is at the top with the most clean sheets.    When he first came I didn't understand why they gave up on Ramsdale. But Raya really shows his quality this season.

if liverpool hadn't won the premier league a few seasons ago, this season manchester city would be celebrating 6 consecutive titles, they are looking like bayern some who won the bundesliga consecutively for many seasons. Manchester city is a big project. congratulations to guardiola for this great achievement

from the data you published, it turns out that there was no harm in previously saying that the strongest candidates were Man City and Liverpool to win the EPL title and Arsenal is still a team that will continue to have difficulty getting the title as long as they cannot maintain consistency like Man City and Liverpool have done.
Man City looks like in the next few seasons it will inherit the EPL title so it won't be surprising if it continues to get the title this season because in fact the strongest opponent this season is only Liverpool but surprisingly Liverpool lost their enthusiasm after failing in the European league and with confidence Arsenal continued to add points in the hope of being able to compete with Man City, but in the end the result will be in vain Arsenal will only get runners up.

sometimes I think it's a little strange that since the start of the season Arsenal have never been able to maintain consistency when they were able to win 5 times in a row after losing more than 5 times and that has often happened since last season until this season.
this is Arsenal weakness since several seasons, which often happens that they are always unable to maintain the stability of the players performance, so they will only continue to have difficulty getting the title.

It is only a matter of time before it is relegated to the Championship Division. They are all qualified for the EPL, but they must return to the Championship Division.

As the top of the Epl is getting interesting, so also is the bottom half getting pretty intense too as the teams are struggling to get out of the relegation zone. Already confirmed for Relegation is Sheffield and obviously Burnley but for Luton they still have a chance. ⁠Yes a chance but after their performance yesterday were they ended the game with Everton in a draw and Forest got the win, you’ll already begin to count Luton out of the EPL already.

 Well we still have about 2-3 games to go for the EPL to be a wrap and Forst needs at least 3 points to be safe which is realistic as compared to Luton needing 6 points or more
3. ⁠Luton wouldn’t be having pretty easy fixtures as compared to Forest so that makes it safe to say Luton will be bidding the EPL goodbye very soon, too bad for them.

Their recent form and performance is nothing to write home about and this goes down to show how competitive the EPL is as the 3 teams who came up from the championship will be returning which is an indication that they were not ready for the EPL. I think whilst they return to the championship they can use that wisdom gotten from the epl to regroupand rebuild themselves for anytime they return. For now I wish them luck in their new phase.

Actually, Arsenal's situation is really difficult. Even if they win all their remaining games they will have to wait for City's results in their remaining games. It's very unpleasant when you want to confirm your favorite team's title but you have to wait for the results of the other team. If you look at the remaining matches, I think no one can beat City except Tottenham. But Tottenham's performance has been quite bad in the last few matches. They will also face Liverpool first so it looks like we can give Manchester City the EPL title this season.

Arsenal's situation is not good at the moment in the competition for the title because they have to wait for Manchester City to fail to get full points in the remaining matches this season, but the pressure is currently on the Manchester City team so that Arsenal can do everything possible to win the remaining 3 matches of the season This.
Matches in the Premier League are always fierce and indeed if you look at the remaining opponents that Manchester City will face, only Tottenham will make it the most difficult for them and those are two teams that have high motivation to win the match with different interests, so I'm sure it will be fierce and Manchester City does not have a large percentage of winning matches.

So the league is already decided. All fine teams should wait for next season. Gradually, English premier League is turning to farmers league as we fondly refer to Ligue 1.

Wolves will not be able to make things difficult for Man City like their previous meeting at the end of September 2023, even though Man City was defeated by Wolves away from home, but this time Man City will not let that defeat happen again, especially when Man City plays as the home team. If they lose, it will embarrass them. in the first half Man City was 3 goals ahead and Wolves were 3 goals behind, i.e. they had not been able to score against Man City in the first half.

Even in the second half, Wolves were only able to reply with 1 goal and Man City added 2 more goals and ended with Man City winning with a fairly large score of 5:1, Man City's opportunity to win a prestigious title by winning the EPL title because it had been eliminated from the UCL so Man City will do anything to win the EPL title again, Arsenal is still at the top of the standings with a 1 match advantage if Man City has played its 36th match and wins. Arsenal will be in second place Man City is 2 points ahead of Arsenal.
