This is the most difficult time for all the premier league big teams as all teams facing relegation will appear very dangerous and ready to make things difficult for them as they will be fighting to get out of the relegation zones and that of Tottenham facing Liverpool will be a perfect example of it. Liverpool facing Tottenham would have been on of the easiest game to predict in today's game but have become very difficult as Tottenham will be ready to sacrifice every thing jost to get off there relegation falling part and will not be happy to lose to Liverpool know matter what. Secondly I dont no what to say about the Liverpool side because they need this game to appear with more favoirdd

Any team fighting for the top four spot would have to be very careful when they meet the teams in the relegation or closer to the relegation cause they’ll be very tough and play defensively, let's use Manchester United's match against Westham as an example, Westham played very defensively and managed to score one goal with the little chances they have, if not for Sesko, Manchester United would've lost that match. Tottenham might look weak with poor form but Liverpool shouldn't underrate them cause they'll try to avoid the relegation spot.

What the issue with Tottenham was that they actually had a decent manager with Postecoglu, he was a decent manager and they should have hold onto that as much as they could and it would have made things better for them. But they did not, and the latest manager they have now is Igor Tudor, someone who literally did not spent 12 months in any team without getting fired.

I mean where do they come up with these guys? When you look at his CV and see that he has done badly enough to be fired by everyone, then why do you get him? Who is the agent for these guys that manages to convince all these teams to hire these manager even when they were doing badly? In any case, I think as soon as they finish above relegation and they also end up changing to a good manager, they won't face any issues.

If Arsenal don't end up winning the the EPL trophy, then I just know that their problem is more than a physical problem.
I have no idea where their performance went to, at the beginning of the league I could literally bet my full salary for them to win a match, but right now they even loose and draw with small clubs, this is to show you how bad their performance has declined, and tis is what always affect them in other seasons as well they start well but when the league is rounding up they start playing poorly, they do have to buckle up

All eyes are now on Arsenal now because of how they have fumbled and lost the league towards the end the season for 3-4 seasons now. If Manchester City was to be the one leading with about 7 points no one will doubt them, not with this number of games left. Everyone will think they've won it already but not with Arsenal. I think until we are down to last game before everyone will finally accept that Arsenal have finally win the league.

For me I think this season is for Arsenal, they will eventually win it because no team is up to the task not even Manchester City. City has been performing averagely lately and with that performance I don't think they will get anywhere. They will still drop more points before the season ends but Arsenal still need to maintain their performance and drop minimal points.

Together with February's MOTM, Guardiola has reached 12 in number! Things started to go wrong for his team lately though. He has been trying something new this season but that makes me miss his old ways...

If he fails to win the PL title this year then I think his probability of leaving the team this summer will increase. There have already been rumours like he will leave then. In that case I wonder who would be next to manage Manchester City.

I wouldn't want to believe the rumors of Pep leaving, this is because if he was still in winning ways, let's say he won the tittle, the rumors of him leaving won't be heard, when he won the league tittle for four straight seasons, who talked about him leaving, so now that things aren't going well with his team, he wants to leave, no he should stay back and fight for his place, that's the Pep I want to see.

There is quite a lot of talk right now about Pep Guardiola leaving Manchester City. However, Pep himself hasn't commented on it. Of course, if his team were winning the league, no one would even think about Guardiola's departure. But what adds fuel to the fire is that Man City hasn't even managed to reach the Champions League semifinals in recent years. The question is whether Guardiola himself wants to stay in Manchester and whether he has grown tired of coaching City. There is also a rumor that Manchester City's management is in talks with Jurgen Klopp for the head coach position. This is just a rumor, but if it's true, Klopp would be a worthy successor to Guardiola.

The match between Liverpool and Tottenham is  set to be a thrilling encounter and it may be quite difficult to predict the winner, as it is highly likely that neither side will field their strongest line-up, given  that both will be fighting tooth and nail in the second leg of the Champions League in the coming days. Liverpool have the advantage of playing at home, but that does  not guarantee they will win, because if Tottenham decides to focus fully on the Premier League, they could well put up a fight against Liverpool (given that Tottenham do not  stand much of a chance of beating Atletico Madrid in the 2nd leg).

Victory is the only thing that can keep Tottenham out of the relegation zone , so they must fight extra hard to make it happen. If Tottenham fail to escape the relegation zone, it will be a massive blow for them, and I reckon quite a few players will ask to leave.

So what Tottenham can do is continue to work hard for a place in the Premier League next season. Changes must be made next season and the competition next season will be with stronger teams. 
Changing the coach will definitely have a big impact on the team's performance, and Tottenham is currently showing how their performance has dropped. They need to prepare a better coach.

Postecoglu did a better job than Igor, and their coaching patterns cannot even be compared, and I feel like coaching is one of the problems that is affecting Tottenham, so if they can solve that part, then Tottenham does not even have anything to worry about. and now they almost close to the religation line and this is why they they have to do something different next season and they should have sacked him and that is the only way things can be better.

and when you look at all this things you will not belive it because they act like they have everything in control and until they come on board and then they start coaching rubbish because if not for bad management tottenham would have been better than this so lets see if they will sack igor, and from the way am looking at all this things sacking will not be far from him very soon because they have gone from bad to wrost.

It’s always difficult for a coach to take over a team once the season has already started. Tudor had done reasonably well at Juventus, but then everything fell apart because he has a very severe personality and that kind of behavior doesn’t work with certain players. Tottenham deserves a better ranking but the players need to ask themselves if they’re at peace with their consciences.

Tottenham need to make major changes to get back on track, now they must focus on improving their performance to stay in the EPL next season. Changing coaches is one of the main keys to taking Tottenham to a higher level. Igor Tudor has not lived up to expectations to retain his position as head coach, overall he has failed to carry out his duties, especially after the team suffered 6 consecutive defeats. Management must find a coach who can bring stability and a long-term vision to Tottenham, especially with the fierce competition in the EPL, which requires hard work to improve the team's quality so it can compete again in the European zone, as it has done in previous seasons.

Tottenham do not need changes in the next season, they just need changes this season, I mean, they need changes now. If Tottenham allow more delay, I bet you they are going to sink into relegation. I actually do not know the kind of changes they need, it might not be the change of the head coach, it might not be management change, this might be financial change or moral change. Something different need to happen in the Tottenham team. We should not lose one important team in English Premier League. This was how Leicester did, got relegated, came back and got relegated again.

No miracle will work with the present Tottenham team. The more they lose, the worse they become.

That's what I have noticed this season. The team close to relegation is fighting very hard to stop the potential of those in the top 4. Westham against Manchester City will be a tricky game for Pep. I watched how Westham tormented Brentford in the FA Cup 5th round, I know the same thing will happen to Manchester City if they are not careful. Manchester City is not in a very good form, hteir defense has been shaky. I am expecinting a draw today, but if they win, they are lucky to win.

It's not as difficult as you think, Tudor is not just capable of Managing the club else he would've won atleast one game but he's yet to and could even lose against Liverpool.

 You could see how bad they played in the Champions League, it's different from when the previous coach was managing them, even though they would've lost if Thomas Frank is still managing, it won't have been as bad as this.

Seeing Tottenham's position so close to the relegation zone, I think Tottenham really need to work extra hard, even though it's difficult due to their poor performance and results in every match.
Tottenham still has a chance to stay in the Premier League if they can replace Igor Tudor quickly, as Tottenham hasn't performed well under his leadership. And if Tottenham lose to Liverpool, Igor Tudor will definitely be sacked, and Tottenham need to find a manager who can improve Tottenham's performance in the remaining matches to avoid the relegation zone. That's what Tottenham should be thinking about right now: trying and working hard to stay in the Premier League next season.

Relegation zone team has always been known to be the most aggressive teams, every team whether teams at the top or the top four spotsas you mentioned will have to tackle them seriously with all they got, such teams should not be underrated because they can decide to spoil things for you if you decide to see them less that is just the fact, do they still underrate teams this days talk more of Totenham that has been a better team sometime ago, Liverpool will not make that mistake unless they are ready to take the outcome as the see it, the premier League title is at it's finishing stage, I do not think that it is ideal for any team to be underrated for any reason.

We can see the point tally in the standings, especially at the bottom. The point difference for each team seems quite tight. One loss can change everything at the bottom of the table. The competition to bring each other down involves at least 4 teams trying to avoid relegation: Leeds, Tottenham, Nottingham, and West Ham. Their point totals are quite close, and anything can happen until the end of the season. It's not only Tottenham that wants to avoid relegation, everyone is working hard as well.

Even now it will hard for others to overtake Arsenal and Arsenal has the highest chances of winning this season and if they fail to win, Arsenal should not participate in Premiere League again. We have them today with Everton. And that Match will be hard for Arsenal to win. Everton is not a team for let go and they will fight hard. Though I will predict for Arsenal to win the Match.

[MArsland]

They will still drop more points before the season ends but Arsenal still need to maintain their performance and drop minimal points.

Arsenal are 90% of the way to the trophy, all that’s left is to see how they perform in their remaining matches to ensure they maintain their lead. That’s Arsenal main focus right now, even though Manchester City is still hot on their heels.
Arsenal have eight matches left to play, one of which is against Manchester City and I can assure you that match will feel like a final.

Everton have a very good chance when facing Arsenal, having performed very convincingly in their previous two matches. Everton often troubles top teams, so Arsenal must be wary of them, as dropping points in this match could put them closer to Manchester City's points tally. Arteta will need to be at his best in the remaining matches as they have a slightly better chance of winning the league this season, but they can't afford any mistakes in their remaining matches to ensure the title is theirs.

You have  raised an important point. Teams in the relegation zone often perform well. We saw Nottingham forest get points against Manchester City a few days ago. Liverpool are definitely stronger than Tottenham. But Tottenham are a renowned team in the premier league. The path to getting points against them  will not be easy. Anyway , since this is Liverpool's home match, and they are in better form than tottenham , liverpool are considered the favourites. Hopefully they don't make any mistakes. Tottenham are in a very bad form. They have lost all  5 matches in a row.

This is not there first time of having such opportunity after all they had same opportunity in 2023 and 2024 although then was not as clear as it is currently now. There chances of becoming champions this season is very sure and certain  but can still be ruined  if they dont put all fingers on deck and focus on there targets instead of wasting important chances as they did some weeks ago.  
Since the starting of the season Arsenal have been one of the most consistent team in the Premier league, leading since the beginning of the season till now that the tournament is about to be concluded but can still lose there chances of success if they are not careful, with the way things are going I can see them losing this great opportunity to Manchester City
