What if Manchester City draws or losses against Fulham in their last game for the season and Chelsea, Aston Villa, Newcastle wins theirs we all know that will thwart City's hope of getting the champions league ticket for next season. City has no reason to relent knowing how unpredictable Fulham can be when the meet big teams.
We all saw how City struggled to get their narrow victory against Fulham in the first leg of the season and this time Fulham is playing at home. It will be risky for City to end in a draw and very devastating if they end up losing the game. Because the need this last three points for full assurance purpose.

Manchester City have not achieved anything so far this season except winning the FA Community Shield. At the end of the season, they only got a chance to get a Champions League ticket. Maybe getting a Champions League ticket will be the best achievement this season. They are still one step away from this achievement and the achievement is not yet certain. Their Champions League future depends on their performance against Fulham in the last match. If they make a small mistake and fail to get full points, then they will fall behind in getting a Champions League ticket and the other team may not make a mistake to grab this opportunity. So they have to play the match carefully with full confidence and get 3 points. These 3 points are currently worth a trophy.

Obviously Manchester City have not achieved anything so far this season but it was believed that they would definitely win the FA Cup. But there is ample reason for your opinion that they only had a chance to get a ticket to the UEFA Champions League at the end of the season. Their journey to the next Champions League is not yet assured, so maybe I think they're waiting for their next match.

At the moment it appears that the Blues have taken third place, So if they are able to defeat Marco Silva's team then the door to the next Europa League will open for them. Manchester City are training very effectively at the moment because in matches like that final against Fulham they are focused through proper training.

Pep Guardiola have won the Champions league and premiership for Manchester City and if he couldn't secure any titles for the club this season is understandable that, Everyday isn't a victory day and sometimes things might not go the way you wanted it to. Pep is a great coach and a respected one for that even though this season was a hard bone in the  throat for him as I believe next season will be better for his teams. In the Match of Manchester City Vs Fulham, the final games are always intense as both teams are ready to play anything to secure a victory. We can all agree that Manchester City is a big club and in a better form than Fulham this season Although, Small clubs can be tough for big clubs to defeat but in the case of Manchester City and especially when Pep Guardiola and his team knows what's is at stake, they  wouldn't want to loose this particular match. I am certain they will defeat Fulham to qualify for the next season champions league.

Arsenal team is a very good team and this time there is no doubt that they have scored very good points and goals and they are also they have a good striker rate but where there are strengths in any team there are also weaknesses so Same is the case with the Arsenal team because they also have some points where they need to improve themselves if they improve themselves then they can prove to be a better team. It is not necessary that if someone is playing very well then they are perfect we cannot find perfection in anything well if they want to improve their performence they should improve their weaknesses. So that they will set an example of weak to strong ones.

Arsenal is taking on Newcastle United and are leading 1-0 in the 60th minute of the play. No team was able to score in the first half but still it was Arsenal who dominated throughout the game. They got 65% of the possession and I thought they should have scored at least a goal before halftime. However in the 55th minute, Declan Rice gave them the lead. Both these teams stand at 2nd and 3rd position at the Premier League but i am not much impressed by the Newcastle play today. They had a few shots on target but missed all of them. Arsenal is clearly the favorite today.

Arsenal football team performance was very well in last match because they did goal in that match and match was ended with result and we didn't see draw result as we did not like that kind of result.  Both teams performed well in this match and we saw excellent result . Newcastle United football team was favorite for that match will because that team did well always head to head but they could not perform well and all players could not do any goal in this match which was embarrassing situation for the team. The passes of Arsenal team were more in this match and these were 408 and possession percentage was also excellent in this match and we saw good competition and result of that match.

Manchester United bet in Europa League and nearly achieved it but they failed in the final match. It's bad ending for their bet which is not helpful for their next season and even sooner than that with an uncertain summer transfer window to come. Ruben Amorim took over a head coach position from Ten Hag when Manchester United were in big crisis already but he did not improve anything.

The final match in Europa League is the only good thing he has shown in the club so far and I don't know if Ten Hag had been the coach, would he have brought Manchester United to the final match like Ruben Amorim. Like Ten Hag would not be able to do this but it does not heal massive pain from this disappointed season for Manchester United.

Well, Man U played well yesterday, but luck was not on their side. They lack the scoring sense, and more reason why Amorim should work on his attack, Man U was the man of the match against Tottenham, and everyone knew it.

As I have said many times in the past, the issue of Man U is beyond the changing of the coach, it is complex. Has the changing of more than 4 coaches in the past few years solved anything? Man U need a long-term dedicated coach, and it would have been lovely if they allowed Ole Gunnar Solskjær to prove himself for years instead of discarding him the way they did. The issue started around that time, it would have been fixed by now.

Newcastle and Chelsea are two teams I feel will make their way no matter what to qualify for the champions league next season. Newcastle and Chelsea will not want to lose in their last game which is a vital one for them both and I think they’re playing the most difficult game in the last fixture to see themselves qualify for the champions league next season. We shall get to see what happens next after this game, those teams that will make it to the champions league alongside Liverpool and Arsenal that already made their spot in the champions league for next season.

Both Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest still have chance to play in the Champions league next season, and none of them will afford losing their match even though Nottingham Forest and Chelsea will play against each others, and a win from Chelsea will help them seal their Champions League spot, while a win for Nottingham Forest might not secure them a Champions League spot because they are still one point behind others.

Nevertheless, there are teams with highest chance which are Aston Villa and Newcastle United because they can win their matches because Aston Villa can easily with against Manchester United because they might be happy for their Europa League victory if they end up winning today, while Newcastle United might have a easy win against Everton.

The match between Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea will be interesting, and I think it will be a tight one. Victory won't necessarily see Nottingham through, but I think they'll be in the game to get the win, because they still have a chance, even if it depends on someone else. For another match, I think Aston Villa will not be able to get an easy win because it is likely that Man United will put up a tough fight as a way of venting their anger after losing in the Europa League final.

Newcastle looks set to get the win as they have the home advantage in this match, and their opponent is just Everton. While Man City probably won't get an easy win.

If Chelsea cannot take the advantage of winning Nottingham Forest for them to qualify to the Champions League next season, it means that they are not yet ready to go to UCL. Chelsea has what it takes to win thismmatch if they're determined but they might still mess it up.

If Chelsea cannot take the advantage of winning Nottingham Forest for them to qualify to the Champions League next season, it means that they are not yet ready to go to UCL. Chelsea has what it takes to win thismmatch if they're determined but they might still mess it up.

Chelsea’s performance has not been impressive lately, they hardly have a comfortable win easily and the fans are also not confident in the team even though just as they manage to defeat Liverpool and Manchester United, they will try as much as they can to secure a win because a win will determine their faith in the next season’s Champions League competition.

Nottingham Forest has not been doing well towards the end of this season if not they had the opportunity to finish third above Manchester City and Newcastle United, but they lose form and started to perform bad towards the end of the season when they needed to be at their best form.

However, they can do it again because they held Chelsea to a draw in the first leg, and they also have good performances against top six Premier League teams this season, since they are playing at home, they can try as much as they can to win also even though they can win and still not make it to the Champions League next season.

[dezoel]

If you look at the last match I think Newcastle and Aston Villa have the biggest chance to qualify for UCL next season. They will face Everton and Manchester United. There is a possibility that Newcastle and Aston Villa will win that match. On the other hand Chelsea and Forest will compete in the last match. Chelsea must win this match to ensure one last ticket. On the other hand Nottingham Forest's chance to qualify must wait for the results of other teams' matches. Which in my opinion Nottingham Forest is in a disadvantageous position. All four teams must win their last match to qualify for UCL. And for City a draw is enough to maintain their position in the UCL zone.

Current scenario is looking easy on papers but still 5 teams 3 spots and four games are going to be important in last round of this season with Nottingham Forest is hosting Chelsea it's most interesting game. Fulham hosting Manchester City it's also tricky one while Newcastle United having challenge of Everton which is doing good in last few games Red Devils after losing UEFA Europa League final against Tottenham completely crap but still fightback for last game against Aston Villa which is also looking for spot into top 5 next season 6 English teams are having spots in Champions League Tottenham, Champions Liverpool and Arsenal already qualified.

Nottingham Forest was hot favourite for top spots, but sadly they chock and now facing consequences if they can blame themselves for this poor end because they were doing good job and have better chance in middle of this season.

Manchester City is third, and they have won so many of their last games, and I bet that they will easily win their last game as well. I do not get why people are so upset, did they really think that City would end up winning 10 years in a row like Juventus or Bayern (or even sort of PSG)? This is premier league, you do not get to do that here, no team can, even the 4 years in a row was a first in history, think about it, a league that existed for well over 100 years, and it is the first time someone won 4 in a row, City achieved way more than anyone ever assumed they would.

We need to see this, and just assume that we are not going to see them be "bad" suddenly just because they failed. They should be considering this as a good break season where they can regroup and do better. They already got better by second half of the season, and with a summer camp and new transfers all getting ready, they will be much better next season.

I think city will be competing for the premier League trophy come next season because they are gradually getting back to form towards the tail end of the season so they will bring in one or two players to strengthen their squad especially in the midfield and defense where they are having problems this season pep is one coach that I respect so much because when it comes to building of a team he is an expert in it

Man U played well yesterday, but luck was not on their side. They lack the scoring sense, and more reason why Amorim should work on his attack, Man U was the man of the match against Tottenham, and everyone knew it.

The issue started around that time, it would have been fixed by now.

Manchester United is one of the most talked club in last few years with its getting worst after every season due to their worst performance in all competitions too many coaches changed, but performance is not having any improvement. They play very good in this final against Tottenham, but things were not favourable for them and they lost with the score of 1–0 with their attack despite having too many chances not able to score any goal which is one of the worst from them now media reports showing overhaul is coming but with coach or without coach it's going to be important.

Even things are at their lowest level but Ruben Amorim deserved to have more time because now he can do improvement in coming season with his ability and strategy, but this depends on management how they feel about this after last game against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.

I noticed that Manchester City are getting their performance back; recently they have been doing good again. Although it is already the end of the season, I’m not expecting anything more to go out, but I think they are preparing ahead for next season because honestly I’m also expecting Manchester City to bounce back by next season.

I’m sure Pep will make sure he fixes everything by the end of this season, and by next season we will see the real Manchester City that we all know from the past. I think they will get some players to replace those in their weak positions.

Although it is already the end of the season, I’m not expecting anything more to go out, but I think they are preparing ahead for next season because honestly I’m also expecting Manchester City to bounce back by next season.

Manchester City are getting back to form, but their performance is surprising sometimes, Manchester City made a great mistake by not winning against Southampton, the draw which they played against Southampton is one of the reason why they are still struggling for champions league slot, they played draw when they are suppose to win all the match which they are having left.

I was suprise how Manchester city couldn’t win crystal palace in the FA cup final, Manchester city were the favorite to win, but they disappointed everyone in the match, so right now, am expecting anything from Manchester city, am no longer trusting them whenever they are playing.

Pep Guardiola has been trying to fix Manchester City current problem, but it’s just difficult for him, he has not been able to properly solve Manchester city problem,   I just hope by next season, Manchester city performance will be better.

[Webetcoins]

Pep Guardiola have won the Champions league and premiership for Manchester City and if he couldn't secure any titles for the club this season is understandable that, Everyday isn't a victory day and sometimes things might not go the way you wanted it to. Pep is a great coach and a respected one for that even though this season was a hard bone in the  throat for him as I believe next season will be better for his teams. In the Match of Manchester City Vs Fulham, the final games are always intense as both teams are ready to play anything to secure a victory. We can all agree that Manchester City is a big club and in a better form than Fulham this season Although, Small clubs can be tough for big clubs to defeat but in the case of Manchester City and especially when Pep Guardiola and his team knows what's is at stake, they  wouldn't want to loose this particular match. I am certain they will defeat Fulham to qualify for the next season champions league.

While "not winning" is okay, but at the very least they should look like they should be trying to look like they are going to win something, or barely missed theri chance, or at least look like they were candidates. When they look like how they look like, specially during that November and December period, we are talking about a team that looks terrible, and that is not alright with the fans.

Pep is not the issue, never was, he would adapt to whatever world is adapting, he was great 15 years ago, he is great now. The issue was that the players won 4+ premier league titles, and treble, and whatever else they could, so they just grew old and didn't had any reason to keep trying and that caused them to end up with not playing with their %100 anymore. So they went and got some other players instead.

manchester city is not an easy club to actually go down easily so am not surprised that we bounced back out of were, and it makes a lot of sense, and we know that people are expecting Manchester City to continue winning in a row, but we all know that its not possible and the best that can happen is for them to be still part of the competition, which i know for sure we aint going to were and and the clubs you mention will find it very hard to be able to do it at this point because things have become more difficult in this league than in the previous year because everyone now wants to win a trophy.

We need to see this, and just assume that we are not going to see them be "bad" suddenly just because they failed. They should be considering this as a good break season where they can regroup and do better. They already got better by second half of the season, and with a summer camp and new transfers all getting ready, they will be much better next season.

I think city will be competing for the premier League trophy come next season because they are gradually getting back to form towards the tail end of the season so they will bring in one or two players to strengthen their squad especially in the midfield and defense where they are having problems this season pep is one coach that I respect so much because when it comes to building of a team he is an expert in it

And I would not say that city will not do everything possible to make it happen again, and it is actually a break for them because we are going to be making adjustments, and it's going to make us a better club next season better than what we have ever been, because City has been one of the best clubs that have one of the most brilliant records, so I don't underestimate hem at all, and i know pep should be cooking something because we dont expect thing to have gone this way but even at that we are doing everything we can even if we know that we are not going to be winning anything this season. clubs like the city are actually very rare so city will remain the best.

[SmartCharpa]

Manchester City easy win over Bournemouth has given them a clear chance of qualifying for next season Champions League.
They will be hoping to do so if they win against Fulham on next Sunday. City dominated the game throughout but they should have scored more goals. Bournemouth played relatively well although I thought they wouldn't get goal, but Daniel Jebbison got the only goal in excess time.

Bournemouth performed well against Manchester City, but Guardiola defense was strong, conceding only one goal in the final minute. Before the game, I expected both sides to score a lot of goals, and Manchester City might struggle to win because their first Premier League game against Bournemouth ended in a defeat for Guardiola, but things changed during the second match.

Manchester City is going to secure their place in the next Champions League, to be honest, I was not expecting Manchester City to make it to the next Champions League since their performance was worse than Manchester United. Manchester City took revenge after losing to Bournemouth in the first meeting. Furthermore, Manchester City can still win their next game because they were able to defeat Fulham when they were performing badly.

[Distraction]

This season, only the teams with birds in their logos have won a trophy in the PL. 



I wonder if Arsenal also thinks of making a change in their logo from now on...   They are continued to be mocked after the recent results. I mean even Tottenham won a trophy finally!

I'm sad for Arteta in fact. He is a really good manager. Great at building a squad actually. But still there is something missing. Their main target is to sign a striker. I hope it changes things for them very positively.

Furthermore, Manchester City can still win their next game because they were able to defeat Fulham when they were performing badly.

Manchester City's performance at the beginning of the season was very poor. The team was not in the top 5 of the table for a long time. On the other hand, teams like Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Newcastle were in quite good form. So Manchester City was far behind in the points table.

However, after being eliminated from the Champions League, Guardiola gave his full attention to the Premier League matches. Gradually, City stabilized their performance. And we have not seen Manchester City lose any match for a long time. The team is playing great and now the third place in the table is occupied by City.

Manchester City can only qualify for the Champions League if they win their next match against Fulham. However, if City loses, they will not be in the top 5 of the table. Even if the match is drawn, City can still make it to the top 5 of the table.

It is quite fortunate for these team that they have manage to survive after this logo and will be able to play in their next season which may even give them a chance to dominate the league.

If they have to play in this league they have to do it and the surprise is that we didn't think they would but we also want them to succeed in this league with hard work. If they didn't feel any difference after lose matches then it wouldn't be a big reason for them to do so which is why Tottenham have done this in their thinking and for next season.

Yes he has work hard and with good effort and besides that he is disappoint that his hard work could not be successful. If you look at it, there was a deficiency in the team due to which he could not succeed or we can also say that he could not find the deficiency due to which he could not succeed.

[Just Say]

Arsenal team is a very good team and this time there is no doubt that they have scored very good points and goals and they are also they have a good striker rate but where there are strengths in any team there are also weaknesses so Same is the case with the Arsenal team because they also have some points where they need to improve themselves if they improve themselves then they can prove to be a better team. It is not necessary that if someone is playing very well then they are perfect we cannot find perfection in anything well if they want to improve their performence they should improve their weaknesses. So that they will set an example of weak to strong ones.

Newcastle United football team was favorite for that match will because that team did well always head to head but they could not perform well and all players could not do any goal in this match which was embarrassing situation for the team. The passes of Arsenal team were more in this match and these were 408 and possession percentage was also excellent in this match and we saw good competition and result of that match.

In your view it is correct that Arsenal played well yesterday and were able to end their home campaign with a win against Newcastle. The previous week Newcastle had given a most talented performance against Chelsea Football Club but they were completely dull against the Arsenal team. We can see that the English Premier League is almost at its end but it is noteworthy that the Gunners will take second place for the third year in a row. On this basis it seems that Arsenal have finished second in previous seasons but have repeatedly missed out on the chance to become champions. Newcastle lost to Arsenal in this match but the goal difference was not high.

[Antotena]

I’m sure Pep will make sure he fixes everything by the end of this season, and by next season we will see the real Manchester City that we all know from the past. I think they will get some players to replace those in their weak positions.

They are not better, they just survived their match against Bournemouth and it's reasonable to say that it's normal here, this is what they should have done long time ago before now but they were inconsistent and not playing well till they were hit with the reality, now they are trying so hard to stay at the top of the table before the last game and one match which they need to either win or draw otherwise Newcastle will take their place without any hesitation.

I am desperately waiting to see what Pep has in the pipeline before the club world cup and after the tournament. There is no way they can win the club world cup with these dumb players that has refused to level up all this while. From center to back, there should be mass reposition of players and some be sold so their can be space for new blood that can repeat what Guardiola has done in the last 5 years in Premier League and Champions League.
