It been a good season for the gunners, well it would be a very good season for them if they can take it to the finish line this season. Their performance in recent weeks have declined especially in the league and that is because the way they are going about it is not the best way. We have all seen the stats that Arsenal attackers have not been mostly involved in their goals and that is a very bad thing especially when you are going to win the league. This is to say their goals have been mostly coming from the defensive side of the team, which is because they mostly score from set pieces.

It another big test for them today, they would be playing away from home to a side which is very much in foam especially against the big side in the league. Well for me I expect them to win today but for sure it going to be a very difficult game for them.

Leeds is a nobody, if they drop points then they are going to be in big trouble, they can't even get a draw today, they have to beat Leeds no questions asked. They already used their loss chance on United, and they can't afford to lose more points until City does, Arsenal has to win every single game until City ends up losing points somewhere.

If Arsenal gets a win, the gap is 7 points, so if City gets a draw that would be six, and if a loss then it's seven, and then maybe Arsenal can lose points.

Chelsea match against West Ham have started, and with Chelsea result recently, it seems that Chelsea may found this match so easy to win, because even in their first leg Chelsea found the match so easy by scoring many goals, despite Chelsea was away game with West Ham. And now the second is being playing in Chelsea house, which I believe it will give Chelsea a lot of advantage to win the game and also likely scored many goals. But let just see how the first have will end; maybe Chelsea will found the match difficult or not. But seem Chelsea did not score many goals, I have some levels of confidence in Chelsea that they will win the game, because I am just feeling Chelsea can beat Napoli in Champions League. What will stop them from beating West Ham? Despite West Ham form have improved, but let see how the luck will play roles in the game. May be lucky will be at West Ham side.

The game between Chelsea and West ham is on-going and j.bowen scored in the 7th minute giving westham a goal difference, I didn't expect westham to score easily because they are not in form currently. Chelsea has more ball possession but their defense is poor, although there is still enough time for Chelsea to equalize but I'm beginning to have doubts about them winning. Does Chelsea have what ot takes to win this game today?

The opposite is happening in this game, and Chelsea is currently losing 0-1 at home soil, a very fantastic—well, strike that—hit to the back of the net. It will be a very shameful thing if Chelsea loses this game at home tonight; their form this season is something unpredictable has been inconsistent with their performances. I'm looking forward to seeing how they will come out of this game without entertaining a defeat from West Ham United. Currently not giving any impressive performance as a team that wants to equal the goal, let alone win this match, so bad.

Leeds have won 1 game, lose 1 and drew 1 match in their last 3 appearances, Arsenal won't underestimate them either, it'll be a fine match, but the sad news here is that Saka just got injured during warm up, Madueke would be replacing him while Norgaard goes to the bench, let's see how the game turns out without the striking machine.

Well, Leeds couldn't even score a single goal that's to tell you that they aren't on the same level as arsenal,, even after the fact that saka got injured and madueke replaced him there was no lapses recorded in the match. I thought that Leeds would be able to score at least one goal against arsenal due to the fact that they have home advantage but unfortunately they ended up losing without scoring.

Yes, they're way beyond Leeds level, i didn't expect that Calvert-Lewin would thrive against the likes of Gabriel and Saliba they're not like the regular midtable club defenders he use to pocket. A friend of mine was like Arsenal would continue to drop points after losing at home  to Manchester United and I was like, not against Leeds, Arsenal won't afford to lose to them and he argued.
 I hope he saw the outcome of the match to see that Arsenal is serious this season and won't take chances against smaller teams, maybe they could drop points against bigger teams but not those in the category of Leeds.

[Out of mind]

Chelsea's performance seems to be steadily declining compared to before, their game against West Ham seems to be in a bit of a slump. Although currently we can see that Chelsea is in good form in the Champions League, so maybe they are more focused on the Champions League than the domestic league. The team has already conceded two goals in the first half of the game, which has brought more weakness to the team, if they fail to respond, they will lose points. In this match, Chelsea thought that they would win easily and move up the points table, but their pace of play is not that good. In that case, if they cannot play well in the second half, then Chelsea will definitely lose today's match and they will lose points, which will be more challenging for them to maintain their position.

Already getting sick of watching the match,
Like I'm so disappointed at Chelsea, west Ham is winning 2-0 and the match just started, I have no idea what has been happening to Chelsea lately, but they better do something about it, the rate at which they are conceding goals is becoming alarming.

I hope they will try to equalise the match. It is something that they can do, and I hope they do it.

According to Opta, Liverpool has greater chance to win at home against Newcastle and i agree with it. I fully aware how Liverpool's performance has been up and down, but i’m going to hope they show decent performance in this game. Their massive won in UCL should boldening their mentality.

So my prediction is that they're going to play well against Newcastle, hold majority of possession, Salah will score, Ekitikite will score too, and win the game. It will also mark them in the upturn of their performance.

They will smash Newcastle handily and move up. Three points will be on their hand, and i think they can lived up my expectation to win with 2 - 3 goals. So a direct bet Liverpool is obviously worthy choice.

Never really trusted things like this. Opta is a great research company and they do analysis very well I am not against their odds, but the fact is that we have seen 5% chance teams go to UCL playoffs just recently. And not that it was impossible, nobody said it was impossible, but 5% chance sounds like very unlikely and yet Benfica did that, and because of this I keep telling people that it means nothing to see this.

Just because you see Liverpool being favourites means nothing, because 23.3% is nearly 1 out of 4 times, and that means it is not that unlikely and could happen. If 5% happened then 23.3% definitely has a lot higher chance to happen. Don't get me wrong Liverpool will probably win, but you do not need OPTA to know this.

How are Chelsea behaving at home? Is there an explanation for this? It is an unexpected event within the unexpected. If the match had been at West Ham's home ground, we would have had a reason for Chelsea's poor performance. But Chelsea are losing at home to a team in the relegation zone. Chelsea have failed to live up to the expectations we had from them at the start of the season. They need big changes in their team very soon.

Chelsea has a rare chance of equalizing the game after conceding 2 goals in the first half, I thought they'll bounce back immediately after the first goal, but if care isn't taken, the match would end this way, or 3:1, in full-time.

With the way he heavily rotated this squad, I knew something sinister is going to happen, I feel he really underestimated West Ham putting Delap has his striker, inverted Gittens to the Left Attacking Wing when it's not his preferred space and leaving Cucurella out, but I feel he is trying to correct that lapse because he has made 3 changes at the start of this second half, hope they get a draw because I played them to win or draw.

[ITExpert]

I think Arsenal was well prepared for Manchester United, and they did not underestimate Manchester United. I am not even surprised that Arsenal lost to Manchester United because Manchester United does not have a tight schedule like Arsenal, so Manchester United has enough time to prepare for the match than Arsenal. Arsenal has already surpassed Manchester City and Aston Villa in points. Since Arsenal is leading the premier league standings with 4 points, Arsenal needs to win matches so that Manchester City and Aston Villa will not a have chance of topping the premier league standings.

The  team Arsenal  should prepare themselves for the situation they can find any difficulties. Although Arsenal's position is quite better this time, they still need to have the best and keep struggling for this. Manchester United was in their bad time for a very long time. And they were not in the position to perform well. But since the new management took the charge of Manchester United there are some improvements which can clearly be observed.  And it seems that maybe Manchester United are very close to enjoying their time again. But maybe it's just a thought or the things may work differently. Because the game's nature is like that anything can happen to anyone or anytime . But the one thing they need is that they have to be very consistent with their performances because this is what makes them able to build a healthy position between the top or good teams.

It is still very likely that Chelsea will win the match temporarily 1-2 and Chelsea is able to reply 1 goal through Pedro while the time is still long enough and can be for Chelsea to continue to attack aggressively.

As I said before Chelsea always change the formation of players, some of the defense among them are always not fixed on the main players, not only Maresca is doing it Rosenior is now doing it.

It is not 2:2 and Chelsea are still on the charge, now Westham can’t go up front again it is now how Chelsea can be able to dissolve the defense of westham.
I don’t think Chelsea are finished yet they will want to win this match and their is still more than fifteen minutes to go plus extra time.

[Shineup]

Chelsea is about to perform another wonder today, from 2 goals down at the first half of the game now 2 - 2 the sub actually works, without the sub I told the Chelsea fans here that except they change Ganacho they can never get a goal out of this game and they where kind of saying it's a lie now it is crystal clear to them that I was actually right all along, the reason why I said they should sub Ganacho is because of Wan bissaka because I already knew Wan bissaka can never let Ganacho play nice football, but now they subbed him look how they've scored two goals at once.

The game is already on right now, and arsenal are asking more of the question in the game because it's 25 minutes gone and they only have a short on target, and two conner kick taken so far which nothing have came out of it, while the Leeds team are still playing safe, because they are doing little upfront, but am positive that once any of them get the first goal, the game will open up a bit, and we are going to see more attacking play from both teams.

Edited: Arsenal have scored, they are now a goal up, score by zubimendi m.

Arsenal football team  played very excellent against Leeds United football team and that was one handed match because one team did 4 goals in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. The Zubimendi was a player who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 27 minutes of the match and he gave good start to his team and after that we saw good rhythm by that team And they tried to do more goals in this match. Darlow was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 38 minutes of the match and these were the only 2 goals in the first half of the match and after that we saw more 2 goals in the second half of the match.

[Balmain]

After two draws and a defeat against Manchester United, Arsenal returned with a victory this week. Gyokeres scored in the Champions League and is now scoring in the league, and he looks set to get even better. Martinelli provided a great assist for his goal. The third goal made Arsenal much more comfortable, and then a fourth was scored. Arsenal needs clear victories like this to have a chance at the championship.

Only extra time remains, and Chelsea are holding on to a draw. They still haven't found the winning goal. Of course, anything can change in extra time, but they still need to be careful. If they drop points, they could fall further behind in the Champions League standings. Therefore, they have to play their best in the remaining minutes. They must find the goal and get three points in this short time. If the standings remain as they are, and Liverpool and Manchester United win their matches tomorrow, they will push Chelsea further down the table.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Manchester United is another strong force aiming for the title obviously the team improved so quick and anything can happen, there’s still more time and I don’t doubt if only they continue winning.

That's something I really like and it excites me because this team reminds me of Chelsea, who were in such a bad place for so long, winning nothing , just constantly changing players and coaches, never getting the best out of what they had. So in this respect, we can say that MU has improved, and that's something nice, that's why these things are exciting.

Arsenal will put you in a place that you will be doubting where they go next. They played against Leed United and I was scared of experiencing the biggest shock and later they played well with all they have in the game and now they have opened a wide space again waiting for other teams to play their next match so we can know if they can make up the 3 points or loss this precious 3 points again. If they don't come up which is unlikely, Arsenal might pick from here.

It's going to be traumatizing after seeing all this from the team many times, they promised to be there but their actions isn't what they want to do. If you are doing to win the League, you have to act like you are going to win the League, not by losing and losing when those points are what you need to win the trophy. It's not going to be shocking if Arsenal even win the trophy again because they have what it takes to win the League but are not doing well.
