Manchester City's form is extremely solid on the recent weeks. This is melting my hopes for Arsenal to win the Premier League trophy. 

Arsenal are really doing their best now. But it looks like that Aston Villa loss will haunt them. You can't just make such point losses while in a title race with a club like Manchester City. How can I expect Manchester City to lose against Tottenham now? They are too good to expect that at the moment. Tottenham don't convince me with their effort either these days.

It looks like there isn't much hope left for Manchester City to lose.

The only thing now that makes me feel better is that both of them still have games to play and anything can happen during these games the way Manchester City has the opportunity to win so does Arsenal too and if you are an Arsenal fan then you won't need to worry much about if we don't win to some extent arsenal have tried and have improved compared to other seasons, things that other London clubs are finding difficult is what arsenal is putting effort in, clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea are not to write home about. Arsenal's problem started when we lost against Aston Villa but let's see what the remaining games of Manchester City will look like.

Anything can happen so people did not put too much faith in the game between Manchester City and Tottenham but it was a heavy one for Tottenham, the game was like a part two of what Arsenal made them go through.

[Lida93]

It has been what could be described as a one sided first half in the game between Chelsea vs Westham United,  as Chelsea played looking like a team, enjoying themselves on the field scoring so easily, goals we hadn't expected of them in this first 45 minutes.
It's a really good performance so far showing a bit of little improvement in the team's form based on their two previous games drawing Aston villa, winning Tottenham and currently leading by 3 goals to nil against Westham in the just concluded first half, a game they have gotten all the advantage to win without doubt.

[Mr.right85]

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.

They’ve been known to repeat this same mistake over and over again. They did this last season, putting themselves at the mercy of Manchester City team and this season, here they are yet again. They need Manchester City to loose in other for them to be top of the table and with just few games left, it’s very unlikely that this would ever happen. Arsenal could remain hopeful, winning all there games in between but, it’s such a difficult expectation.

Chelsea looks like a team on the rise as well, they did beat Tottenham rather impressively days back and here they are yet again beating West Ham United by 3 goals and haven’t conceived any in the first half. Had they come up with this performance early enough with some consistency, they would have found themselves somewhere at the top 4 but, it’s too late for that now.

Yes, since the defeat against Aston Villa is a mistake that is difficult to make up for and Arsenal cannot hope for Manchester City to experience defeat against Tottenham because currently Manchester City is really on fire, especially since Arsenal will also face Manchester United which could make things difficult for Arsenal too. To get full points, if Arsenal gets a draw with Manchester United of course it will be a failure for them to give up the EPL title to Manchester City for the umpteenth time.

Arteta should be able to learn again from the previous season and this season because I think Arsenal is more worthy of getting the EPL title next season than this season because they are better prepared to have a winning mentality next season than this season, Arsenal have a lot to prepare and Changing a lot to be able to play better next season, especially the defeat against Aston Villa, is a mistake that Arsenal should not make in the middle of the EPL title race because it will be detrimental to Arsenal in the end making Manchester City champions again and Guardiola already knows how. sweeping the rest of the final matches of this season.

[Woodie]

Chelsea might have the edge over Westham Looking at their current form, but begin hammered 5 nil is unacceptable and looking at their remaining fixtures, I think they will be luck to win any of them..samething going on with Tottenham which is not a performance we should be seeing from a good team as Spurs.

Fall out boys about to face Tottenham who are in their worst form currently, but the Reds can be jokers when they want but I believe they should get a win this afternoon against a struggling side that seems comfortable where they sit.

My prediction Liverpool 2-0 Spurs

[Velvet78]

Is Jackson finally starting to be useful for Chelsea?    After scoring against Tottenham he scored 2 goals against West Ham today as well. This is really important for him to regain his self-confidence of course but let's see if he will really be more consistent from now on. It wouldn't be sensible to compare him to strikers like Haaland of course but he could lose his place in the starting lineup if he doesn't perform consistently.

5-0 is a really huge win though. Palmer also scored which was nice to see. It seems like it won't be easy for Palmer to finish as top scorer. Because Haaland scored 4 goals yesterday and reached 25 goals. Palmer is 4 goals away. But Palmer is going to be the most valuable player of the team this season for sure.  

Edit: I mistakenly wrote hat-trick for Haaland, fixed it now.

Yes, because Chelsea FC is known as Palmer FC now, not always but they play quite well and able to win when Palmer is in the pitch.
He will not be able to become the top scorer, Haaland will definitely still score 3 to 5 goals in the remaining matches.
Mancity still have to score lots of goals so they can still win the Premier League even though if they are on the same points as Arsenal at the end of the season later.

City is having winning mentality. Seeing it perform consistently in any season is a common thing. It makes me think that if city is gonna win the competition. Look at how liverpool destroyed totenham after chelsea did it.

Arsenal are really doing their best now. But it looks like that Aston Villa loss will haunt them. You can't just make such point losses while in a title race with a club like Manchester City. How can I expect Manchester City to lose against Tottenham now? They are too good to expect that at the moment. Tottenham don't convince me with their effort either these days.

Was not it arsenal doing the same last season? We must also admit that if king city is very strong club this time. Arsenal has made significant improvement on its club but we must be honest if manchester city may be winning the competition again soon.

It looks like there isn't much hope left for Manchester City to lose.

So true. Seeing how totenham performed against liverpool made me think city win the competition.

[Palakka]

The defeat to Aston Villa was the beginning of Arsenal's impossibility of winning the title this season and I think Arteta should regret it, at the moment Arsenal are still leading the Premier League table but their chances of winning are very small if Manchester City do not have bad luck in the rest of their matches, mathematically of course Manchester City is a strong candidate to win the title this season with the rest of the games and also their performance is on fire.

Arsenal have high hopes for the team that Manchester City will face in the remaining 3 matches, arsenal chances are very dependent on the performance of the three teams and if we look at the performance of that the three teams playing today of course I think none of the teams have the potential to beat Manchester City later, Westham today was crushed by Chelsea, while Tottenham suffered a bad result against Liverpool, while Fulham was not able to win against a weak team like Brentford yesterday,  Wouldn't it just be a dream for Arsenal to see Tottenham, Fulham and Westham can beat a team like Manchester City who have very good form and consistency at the moment?

Because Haaland made a hat-trick yesterday and reached 25 goals. Palmer is 4 goals away. But Palmer is going to be the most valuable player of the team this season for sure. 

Currently, Nicholas Jackson have a total of 13 English Premier League goals this season but if you want to consider his total number of goals for his club Chelsea this season, he's scored 16 goals while registering 6 assists which makes his total goal contributions to club to 22 this season. For a player that is playing for an English Premier League club for the first time in his career, Jackson's statistics is an impressive one. However, the Senegalese striker would have scored more goals than he's managed this season if he was more clinical in front of goal and that's why a lot of people are of the opinion that he's not the kind of striker Chelsea will need next season if they truly want to improve from their performance of this current campaign.
Today, Jackson scored two goals and registered an assist to help Chelsea climb to the 7th position of the English Premier League table. Hopefully he's going to be more prolific in his last matches of the season so Chelsea fans can become more convinced that he'll be able to help them next season

[Cityhunter34]

I think Chelsea have really improved after their 2-2 draw against Aston villa on last week Sunday and last week Thursday they won Tottenham Hotspur with 2 goals and today again them still won West ham with 5 goals and cole palmer only score 1 goal with two matches to go, I think The highest goal scorer is going to be Haaland because they still have 3 matches at hand.

It is not easy to win every game of the season, so you are going to lose some of them and even City does, the only team in the big five leagues without a loss right now is surprisingly Leverkusen, so Arsenal losing wasn't a surprise, everyone does. The problem is that Arsenal lost only 2 more points than City, that's it, just 2 points. That is basically unlucky at this point and it is not really expected.

Normally if City was just great and 10 points ahead of everyone then I would understand the situation, but we are talking about something that is a lot closer there, and when the difference is just 2 points, you can't be mad at the players or the manager. I think Arteta built a great squad, and a great tactic as well, which will be doing great in the end and win it eventually.

Chelsea's top striker has today outdone himself in a very unusual style. Although it's a once in a while occurence. Congratulations to the London side comfortably taking the 3points fully as the host with a 5-0 win over West Ham at Stamford Bridge. The forward man graced the game with two goals and an assist and this placed him currently with 13 goals.

 Well the fans may seem his as a seasonal striker but still when it's time for him to excel, he definitely will. It'll be risky to use the outcome of today's game to judge his subsequent performance and essentially next season as there have been occasions where he performs well today and misperform for the next few games. We just have to hope that he keeps surprising us at every game the team has.

 Chelsea's victory pushed them to the 7th position with a little bit of hope to clinch a spot at the UEFA conference league too. Although that feat will only be attained when so many conditions are met and they're really difficult occurences to be met. Even if Chelsea subdues and meet their own end of the necessities, will the other teams sit back and be overpowered just to give Chelsea room to scale through. It'll be a tough final games for the season for the 5th,6th,7th and 8th positioned teams in the EPL.

Haaland is going to win it for sure. Those four goals he scored yesterday will set him apart from other contenders. By now, folks like Palmer and Salah have already given up on the pursuit because there's a high probability that while they're trying to play catch up with, he would add more goals to his tally.

Speaking of Chelsea's recent performances, Kudos to Pochettino and his men. Their recent results have been commendable but it's a little too late in the season.

The players got experienced as they played matches, they got used to each other as they played with each other, they learnt the team game, and most importantly they learnt the weight of the chelsea jersey, it looks like we will watch a very different chelsea next year. If Chelsea buys a good defensive leader, a number 10 who can distribute the ball and a solid number 9 next year, they will be the biggest favourite for the title next to city. Chelsea have been getting good results lately, but the end of the season has come and they need to start well next season in this way.

It seems that way. The blues didn't just win their last two matches, they won with a convincing scoreline. This season Chelsea has been struggling defensively and even if they get to win a match, they would still conceive. But today's game was different, they hammered West Ham United and also kept a clean sheet. If they can keep pushing on like this, who knows, they may over take Manchester United and get a Europa league ticket.

I don't see that way. I think it's more to do with their opponents, Aston Villa and Tottenham, having pressure to win their games and West Ham having no importance to their game, while Chelsea have nothing lose. Chelsea look still the same as them in the start of the season. They can have some wins to give impression of improvement, but then they would still be lost to teams they are expected to beat. I remember they were able to gain a point against Manchester City, but then they were lost to much weaker teams.

Chelsea players seem to have same level of performance from the start of the season to now. They don't seem to have improvement at all. Their defense still look vulnerable and their attacks are still not clinical enough. Jackson and Mudryk are still wasting many chances while playing with low quality of coordination with their midfielders.

Nice reports on betting success and weekend results over this time and am sure that it is clear that Manchester city is the favorite team to win this seasons trophy, before Arsenal is and even with the shocking win by Chelsea's over Westhampton united, the team still look hopelessly in need of attacking, defense and midfield players.

Chelsea has clearly made substantial enhancements to the its performance in the game against westham. Even Mudryk plays so calmly in this game and he was so amazing even though he was not scoring, and he rarely panics when attacking West Ham and made some important build for the club. I must say that this is a significant improvement from Chelsea caused by the club have learned a lot from the previous mistake. Chelsea is even better than manchester united in term of consistency. The club only lacks a good striker but i have heard club is aiming to get osimhen. Jackson has not yet reached his peak performance level but yeah we will see a new one to come.
Chelsea needs at least one striker to significantly improve the club. and the competition will be very strict soon. Jackson and Medueke have performed admirably in this game. I like how Jackson used his brain to escape from the offside trap. He demonstrates that he has been making improvements.
Jackson's last goal, that's it. The referee thought it was offside, but a VAR check revealed Jackson was onside. That's amazing if he's been learning a lot from his recent matches.
I am confident that Chelsea can become even better than before. All of the players in the squad made significant contributions to Chelsea's performance. The club only needs to recruit a good striker.
Chelsea was always struggling when Sterling and Enzo were on the pitch.
