Mac Allister gave Liverpool the hope of finishing in the top 4 after a dramatic late goal at City ground to keep Liverpool tied with same points as Chelsea and Manchester United. Although Manchester United is yet to play their week 27 match. As things stands Liverpool and Chelsea fans will be praying for Manchester United to drop points so they will all remain in same point ahead of week 28 matches. If Manchester United win, which I believe they will win, Chelsea will be the loser of week 27 among the teams that are hunting for the top 4 finish.

A crucial goal from Mac Allister meant Liverpool managed to get three points in this match so they have the same points as Chelsea who lost in the previous match. Manchester United have not yet played their 27th match so they still have the opportunity to overtake Chelsea and Liverpool because even though they face Everton I am sure Manchester United will not lose points in that match. Arsenal still drew in this match and it was quite tense when they failed to get full points again because Manchester City can catch points from Arsenal and currently have not played their 28th match.

What a dramatic end to the game. Mac Allister has to be the luckiest player on the planet right now, after his first goal was chopped off, he still managed to score a late winner. Congratulations to Liverpool, they now share same points with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Surprising to see Liverpool entertained a narrow escape in today's game against Nottingham forest, all thanks to mac Allister for his die minutes goal which know one expected including me. But telling ourselves the truth,  I was so disappointed In Liverpools performance today in the game, they played with total weakness and know focus of gaining consistency even when they had the opportunity to make things right.  I think they need to work on there mentality and culture so they will understand that know matter how hard or though things are there is still a second chance.  I know with there performance last season all believed this season will be there's but all changed and now they find it difficult making top four in the Premier league table,  which is not enough reason to lose focus.

Liverpool went to the edge and won this match because we saw Mac Allister scored the winning goal in added time. If you look closely, when this game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was going into extra time, no one thought that Mac Allister would be able to perform magic. Honestly, the mentality of both teams in this match was at a high level and they had a hunger to win, which made this match very enjoyable for all of us. So it seems to me that Liverpool's hero in this match is Mac Allister, as they get past Forest, even  i congratulate Liverpool because Chelsea, Manchester United and they are already on the same points.

it was quite surprising that Liverpool could actually win this game looking at their poor performance and all. the three teams are now pn the same level but the main question now is who is going to fall below the fourth position between them. if you ask me I would say that Manchester United has more chances of finishing in the top four because Liverpool and Chelsea are inconsistent at the moment.

Honestly speaking Mac Allister mindset was superb, after being denied his first goal that VAR ruled offside due to an handball offense, it still didn't stop him from getting into position to spank in the other one, although I still feel that goal was offside but Liverpool should just take the win plus it was bad for Nottingham Forest because they actually tried in that match especially the first half where I felt they dominated the game.

We watched 2 different halves for Liverpool... In the first one they were just horrible! Forest should have scored after finding a ton of opportunities. But after wasting them all there was a good chance ahead for Arne Slot at halftime.

He must have managed to motivate his players that their effort got better later on. Still barely a 1-0 win thanks to a goal came in the stoppage time...    

I know Forest have a new manager and so on. But Liverpool didn't play like their true self as usual too.

Results from the North London Derby tonight, Tottenham and Arsenal all squared at the first half game after Eze and Kolo Muani goals, but currently Arsenal football club are leading by 1:3 extending their lead and point difference to now 5 points based on the current result. Now having a total of 61 pointd with 28 games played whereas Manchester city is 56 point with 27 matches played so far.

It was a horrible performance for Liverpool in the first half and they had to up there game in the second half, well I believe the manager had to talk with them, Mac Allister played a good game and it was something that was unexpected, Nottingham Forest didn’t expect Liverpool scoring in the second half most especially in the dying minutes of the game, and it felt like the last minute of the game, Liverpool really needed that win, because they have to strengthen their opportunities to qualify for the Champions League Position, they’ve to start winning games and go on a winning streak in the Premier League.

Congratulations to Liverpool for winning that game against Nottingham Forest.

Great job by Arteta today! Arsenal finally won after drawing 2 times in a row. Despite those draws I was believing in them to win anyway. Because you know Tottenham... They are too bad this season.

Tudor is so unlucky though. He's just arrived at the team and his first game was against the leader. Tottenham is thinking of him as a temporary coach for now but this can change depending on future results.

Arsenal really turned things around after the first half, the game changed after they got their second goal and the Tottenham equaliser was cancelled due to offside, I believe if that goal had counted it would have ended differently but lucky for Arsenal they ran away with the victory today, extending their lead at the top until further notice.

Liverpool had a tough game, Nottingham Forest really gave them a hard time until Mac Allister broke the deadlock twice one cancelled. They’re on a shared points with Chelsea, a win for Man United will see them take over the 4th position.

It was a tough game for Arsenal initially, that half time talk really Saw a change in the Gunners performance, although when the second half started, it was Still fragile but after that Gyokeres goal and Kolo Muani's disallowed goal, everything just aligned with Arsenal, one thing Arteta did was not dropping back and they actually pressed forward, this is the hunger we want to see.

That winning was indeed a surprise to me too like i walked out of the viewing center out of anger because i actually added Liverpool in my prediction today but i was really surprise when i checked livescore and find out it was a 0-1 win for Liverpool i was quite happy for the win but feel disappointed for their performance like they were really awful in performance today and i don't see them making the top four with such performance just like you've said it all Manchester united stand a better chance of making the top four than the both of them.

After scoring the first snd Tottenham quickly equalized i thought the game would be another lost course but the second half was really surprising, Arsenal really put in a lot of energy into the game. Liverpool on the other hand had a tough game as well and I wasn't expecting them to win the game but i don't think they will be able to be at the top four at the end of the season cause they are unstable.

Great job by Arteta today! Arsenal finally won after drawing 2 times in a row. Despite those draws I was believing in them to win anyway. Because you know Tottenham... They are too bad this season.

Spurs has been very terrible this season and Arsenal has been a bit shaky in the past few games, but dropping points to their North London rivals is not something they're use to, especially in the past 4-5 games if I'm not mistaken. And they have this crazy record of not losing any competitive game to Spurs since 2023. It was a cracker, especially after Spurs equalized immediately. At some point, I actually thought that it was going to rain goals from both sides, but it seems only Arsenal came to the party fully prepared.

Arsenal where never lucky to win this game. They actually deserved to win because they played better. We saw what this same shitty Spurs did to Manchester City some weeks back. If Arsenal can actually keep up with this same performance, then I don't see why they should be dropping unnecessary points.

Tudor is so unlucky though. He's just arrived at the team and his first game was against the leader. Tottenham is thinking of him as a temporary coach for now but this can change depending on future results.

I don't think this result should be a problem. Arteta has faced a couple of new managers this season, and has been able to dealt with a few of them aside Carrick. I don't think losing to Arsenal when it's your first game, should be a problem. They're a very strong side so you have to respect that. But failing to take points against small sides might actually be a problem to consider before deciding to have him permanently or sack him.

[Iroh]

Nice work done by Manchester City! It wasn't that easy for them honestly. But I find it normal. Not only because they are having a difficult season but also Newcastle were in good shape before this match...

Let's wait for what Arsenal will do against Tottenham away. By the way there is a Forest - Liverpool match ongoing now. I won't be able to say good things about Liverpool so far... Their minds don't seem to be focused on the match. Forest are quite likely to score and not lose this one.

Man city was stronger than Newcastle and knowing just how important it is at this point to accumulate as much points as they can, went all in to win that game. Knowing Man city stats and all, I had hoped for a draw in that game but fortunately for them, they went on and sealed the win.
Arsenal on the other hand, won their game against Tottenham. They had a good time on the pitch that resulted in a good win. I think Arsenal would have had a clean sheet in that game if they had been more protective of the ball in the event that led up to the goal by Kolo Muani. It was a good game for Arsenal and a much needed win.

Nottingham Forest played well in this match. But they could not score due to poor finishing. Nottingham forest's players were able to make relatively more attacks. But we have to admit that luck has helped liverpool. Mac Allister was able to score in the last second of the match.

Liverpool still have a chance to finish in the top  4 of the table. But their performance is still erratic. If they can't continue their good performance, they won't be able to finish in the top 4 of the table. But I consider Manchester united more favorites than Liverpool for fourth place in the table.

Manchester City is better than Newcastle United for sure but City is weaker than the previous seasons so it was normal to think that Newcastle could pick points from them. After all they tried but failed.

Arsenal on the other hand, won their game against Tottenham. They had a good time on the pitch that resulted in a good win. I think Arsenal would have had a clean sheet in that game if they had been more protective of the ball in the event that led up to the goal by Kolo Muani. It was a good game for Arsenal and a much needed win.

Arsenal needs every point right here and beating Tottenham Hotspur is a must. Gunners just punished weak Spurs by four goals. Spurs are lucky enough to have some early victories this season otherwise they would be deep in the relegation zone.

[Woodie]

Looking at how todays game went for Arsenal against Tottenham, I think Arsenal aren't ready to give up now and that 2pts or is it 5points gap will make the biggest difference and they won't want to drop points going forward.. Eze well played my man this is the kind of energy Arsenal needed to be crowned champions but let's see how the next round of games go..

[Egii Nna]

Now having a total of 61 pointd with 28 games played whereas Manchester city is 56 point with 27 matches played so far.

Even with the victory, it is still not enough, because they still have to be more consistent if they really want to be at the top and win the trophy. We all know that Manchester City will be able to win Leeds United in their next game, so the 5 points difference will reduce back to a 2 points difference.

Furthermore, the round 28 game of Arsenal will be a bit hot, as their opponents are Chelsea, who are somewhat good, but sometimes you will even be surprised at what they are doing in the Premier League.

They may look like they don't want to give up now and it's true. Arsenal was able to win their match and we also saw Manchester City winning their match two. This two team don't want to miss any opportunity, improving their formation so that they can win the premier league. I will congratulate Arsenal and Manchester City for their wins but I will like Arsenal to win the league.

It was a fantastic game for Arsenal. It is good to see Arsenal win the game again after they missed two matches, but the problem now is whether Arsenal can continue with a performance like this till the end of the year. If Arsenal can be consistent, they can still win the league title because right now they are still leading the league.

In the match against Tottenham, it is expected for Arsenal to win because they are performing better than Tottenham, but I don't know what Arsenal's performance will be like when they meet a stronger team.

I know Forest have a new manager and so on. But Liverpool didn't play like their true self as usual too.

I didn't watch Liverpool's match against Nottingham Forest live but I saw the replays and also the statistics that id generated from this match, Forest made a lot of chances, from the shots created 18 shots only the red ones to the goal were only 2 shots and that still didn't create a goal, Liverpool fought very hard here and they were able to score goals, and the goal created by Allexis Mac became the single goal as a sign of Liverpool's victory in this match, even then they had to wait until less than 100 minutes of the match.

Forest in this match is quite good in my opinion although not as good as the performance in leg 1 against Fenerbahce because Liverpool is stronger, the new coach has managed to improve slowly, getting into the relegation zone can be anticipated.
