On the other hand, Man United as usual is not interested in performing optimally in the League, they seem to have given up and want to stay focused on playing in the Europa League. Brentford is now leading 2-1 and in the second half will they add one more goal or Man United try a little seriously.

Let’s just assume Manchester United couldn’t win against Brentford just because they are focused on Europa league, thats where their attention is currently in, but if I will be honest with all Manchester United fans, then I will say even if Manchester United are having target in the premier league, with Manchester United current performance, they will find it difficult to win Brentford, they just should stop using Europa league as an excuse, and I just hope Manchester United will be able to win the Europa league.

Arsenal is a team we all know their performance is always dropping towards the ending of the season, but Arsenal already knows that the only trophy which they can win this season is just the champions league, and they are not even sure about that, because their opponents is already ahead of them, so am expecting Arsenal to lose or draw most of the premier league matches which they are having left.

It is the problem of Arsenal in the last few seasons. They usually performed well in the first half of the season, but they started to decline their performance in the second half of the season. Even worse, they lose their focus when the end of the season is almost reached. The physical condition and the mentality of the players may be two of the reasons of the problem. Arsenal board may need to consider changing their physical trainers, they also need to have more quality players to change the main players if they are injured or not performing well. Nowadays, Arsenal also have many injured attackers. The problem looks quite complicated.

In UCL, I'm not sure Arsenal can reach the final. PSG is leading the aggregate with 1 goal now, Leg 2 will be held in PSG home. In this condition, PSG has a better chance to win the next match. With the injury of some key players, I think Arsenal will be difficult to beat PSG.

All arsenal fans are claiming they are focusing on the Champions league, I just hope they will be able to win the second leg which is against PSG, but it doesn’t make sense to lose focus in one competition just because of another one, if Arsenal is not careful, they might not be ending the season in second position.

It is nonsense if they focus on UCL match. The time gap between Leg 1 and Leg 2 is quite far, they have enough time to rest. It's just a fans' excuse made up to defend the lose of Arsenal. It is true that Man City has a chance to overtake Arsenal position if Arsenal gets a lose again in the next matches. Arsenal must keep winning the match if they want to finish as a runner up.

I think fans will understand why a team can lose, there are only a few games left in the season and it doesn't matter that apart from the EPL they aren't playing anywhere else at the moment. It's been a difficult season for them one way or another, so they have the right to rest and start that rest now. I think they realise that a winning streak means nothing globally and it's okay to not stick with it

They already had there title celebration match, ain’t nothing much in the games that is left so, they could as well play it just the way they like, for entertainment and be sure not to sustain any injuries because, it would have been for nothing. What they need now is a long big rest and to test out some of those academy guys along with their bench since, some of the teams are still battling for positions on the league table. So their wasn’t anything much in Chelsea’s win today except for Chelsea.

I agree with the both of you though I made the mistake of betting on Liverpool to beat Chelsea which eventually did not happen and I've lost my money, I am really not surprised that Chelsea ended up winning the game, Liverpool lost but also at the same time did not loose looking at the number of points they have accumulated all through this season and their position in the league table, winning the premier league title this season is already a kind of guarantee for them since the season is also coming to an end with only a few games generally left to play..

I consider my betting on them as a mistake because 7 should have thought about what I am thinking now before putting that bet up, but all the same, I am happy for them though, atleast for giving Chelsea the chance to improve her point too, for I believe that if Liverpool were to take this yesterday match seriously, Chelsea wouldn't have beaten them.

Manchester United had tried hard, due to which they had scored 3 goals in this match which is very much preferred for winning but the opposing team has scored 4 goals and because of this Manchester United's 3 goals will be a defeat for winning. If they had scored one more goal, they could have drawn the match, due to which Manchester United could have got one point, due to which they would not have gone towards defeat. The reason for this is that they are working hard on their part and their players also play with their struggle but other teams do not think much about this which is why they have won the match. This win is also enough for Manchester United because they play well and play with heart, so if they get this league win, they will get the reward for their hard work.

It is unfortunate that Manchester United have to suffer and struggle so much this season, we hoped Amorim will bring the change immediately at arrival but we will have to wait a bit longer probably until next season to really evaluate his performance. This transfer window will help him rebuild and restructure the team to be better and stronger.

You made a mistake by betting on Liverpool, I bet on a draw because what I thought yesterday was that this match no longer had any effect on Liverpool and the match only meant for Chelsea who were struggling to fill 5th place in the standings.

Patience is a virtue. He hasn't made any impact on the Premier League yeah. But he had to play with the squad in hand. He couldn't rebuild it according to his system yet. The current players are also not very comfortable with it.

But at least they are promising in the Europa League. It is their only chance to join the Champions League despite everything... If they make it then this would be a starting point. Amorim would also build his squad taking the Champions League into account too.    I'm just continuing to bet on their opponents in this league meanwhile.    Because they have given up on the league already. That Brentford loss or the ones earlier don't surprise me at all as a result.

I could not even feel disappointed with MU's result against Brentford. That's pretty obvious how they being prepared to face european final instead of keep seriously playing for EPL when they have done with it. They got nice result at the start of game, but got bullied for the most part.
The only positive is that Mount scored in this game. They result was not really surprising me when they got a lost. This is not something they must care when they have an important game to come.

It was an important step towards a CL spot. If Liverpool didn't guarantee the PL title then probably the final score would be different though.    But I'm not underestimating Chelsea. Here in this match their effort was impressive.

It was nice to see Palmer's goal contribution. Chelsea need him for achieving their targets. If I'm not mistaken Forest won't be able to get past any of Newcastle - Chelsea in case of winning today. Because of goal difference in the event of same points by these 3 teams.

So Chelsea should be fine in the 5th place for now.

The guard of honour Chelsea gave to Liverpool was disrespected, They just wanted to humiliated our current champion by winning them 3-1. There is no doubt that Chelsea are desperate to qualify for the champions league but the competitions on who will clinch that 5th position in the league table is not looking directly clear for Chelsea, we still have Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, Aston villa still very much in the race to occupy that space. Of course Liverpool played that game without much seriousness in their psychology, maybe the thought of already winning the league title had occupy their minds, so I believe they didn't give in their all.

I don't see that as a humiliation, Chelsea really needed that win regardless of the scores it was very important cause winning the Conference League won't take us to the Champions League, so they had to do everything possible to atleast beat Liverpool since the next match is against Newcastle and at St. James' Park, it's another tough one cause Newcastle are also aiming at maintain a good position for the Champions League.

 Although I didn't expect Liverpool to be serious with the match but I'm impressed with my team they showed seriousness and seized their opportunities to score goal, Cole Palmer finally scored, he did well in the match, I just hope we qualify for the Champions League, win the Conference League Cup and sign better players for next season.

Different context bro. Chelsea applauded when Liverpool entered the field as an appreciation as a team that had confirmed themselves as the winner of the 2024/2025 Premier League season.
In giving applause to Liverpool, it turned out that the situation was actually reversed between May 2015 and May 2025.

There is no doubt that Chelsea are desperate to qualify for the champions league but the competitions on who will clinch that 5th position in the league table is not looking directly clear for Chelsea, we still have Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, Aston villa still very much in the race to occupy that space.

This is true bro. Later Nottingham will play against CP. If Nottingham wins, the competition for fifth place will be even more exciting. That's why yesterday Chelsea really wanted to win over Liverpool. Palmer and Enzo have already overcome one challenge, namely winning against Liverpool. The next challenge is Newcastle. This will be a serious challenge.

Once doubted, Chelsea was able to beat the top 1 EPL with a fairly convincing score. This completes a series of good results at least seen in the last 5 matches, with consecutive wins. The number of points is exactly the same as Newcastle, so Chelsea still has a chance to rise again to the top 4 with 63 points, and Man City with 64 points.

And one of the interesting things in Chelsea's victory was Cole Palmer's penalty goal, which was also his first goal in Premier League again since January 2025. It's been a long wait for this chance and finally he did it again.

It is very unfortunate that in the end they had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat again, even though they had fought hard to achieve victory. And with this defeat, Manchester United's total defeat in the EPL this season is 16 defeats. This is one of the worst seasons for the red team. But who would have thought that behind their poor performance in the EPL, they were able to go further in the European competition, which is now not only able to step one foot into the final, but they are also one of the strongest candidates to be able to win the UEL trophy.

And back to the match between Manchester United VS Brentford, I watched the match from start to finish. The Manchester United players actually performed quite well, with the dominance and attacks they showed, but it is very unfortunate that the finishing done by the Manchester United front line was still quite bad, and so was their defense which was a bit chaotic.

If you paid attention to what most of the teams that have been in the shoes of Liverpool had done in the past, rare will you see them taking games like this seriously and for chelsea that should naturally see this as an opportunity to get more points to there's, it will be totally uncalled for if they can't take advantage of Liverpool's obvious show of disinterest in the game. As things stands now, any of the teams that hopes to get into the top spot will hope never to loose a single game again up till the end of the season. Already, the rest of the teams are all winning there respective games while hoping that any of the other teams will show sign of lapses which will give them a serious edge above them. Also, Chelsea is one for the weakest teams that are contending for the champions league spot which means that a slight drop from them will result in them trading there chances for teams like Manchester city, Newcastle and even Nottingham forest. Three straight loss in the premier league at the time they are literally contending for nothing won't bother Liverpool even for the slightest. All attention fully fixed on next season.

There wasn't much he could do to fix this team. In my opinion, the previous coaches made terrible signings. I don't know what their main objective was, but from what I could see, there are a lot of players who came to Manchester United and weren't playing well, and when they left Manchester United they started playing well again.

Maybe the high level of pressure they were under at Manchester United made them play badly. The coach will need to make good signings if they want to fight for the title. With this current squad they have no chance, so I don't know what they're going to do with the current players.

Someone even said Liverpool trolled Chelsea throughout the match. That was a well deserve win for Chelsea and Liverpool had little or nothing to do about it. Remember when the first goal came in? 3 minutes after the whistle was blown. Do you consider that to be a luck on the side of Chelsea? I guess not.

Chelsea had control over the game and at some point, I had to ask what team it was against Liverpool. Enzo Fernandez is gaining his way back into his original position -- let's all hope he beats the expectations of the club this time around. I can tell if they stand a chance against Newcastle, but history may repeat itself.

I will be honest 9/10 I actually predicted a win for Chelsea, first of they were at home giving a guard of honor to a rival team this should definitely puncture their pride or ego and should be something that they would held on to for the win. Also most importantly this is the start of the season ending demanding game for Chelsea which they need to seriously win to get into the champions league spots. Once Liverpool clinch the title against Tottenham it down to me that they will seriously be in celebratory spirit against Chelsea and it is a good period for Chelsea to actually win against them.

There have been similar situations where a club get a guard of honor and get beaten immediately I think it is the euphoria of doing that guard that makes opposition to go full on the newly crown champions. Did Chelsea played well in this game I will say yes but I wouldn’t guarantee they will against Newcastle next weekend because Newcastle themselves dropped points this weekend and that’s one big reason they will like to sit up in this game

Based on the game shown by Chelsea, it was indeed a deserved victory for Chelsea. Whether Liverpool helped them or not, when Chelsea can't play well then they won't win. At least for now they are still safe, only they have to focus on the last 3 matches to sweep all the wins. The competition is still quite tight here, so they can't be careless at all to get a place in the Champions League next season. The opportunity is very big.
