Everton has always been a threat to big team this season especially at home, they'll taken advantage of your weaknesses if you show them signs of it. You can see that their shots of target is more than Chelsea's which means that Chelsea's defence was weak and Everton used their own opportunities very well. It was a very poor result from Chelsea and they need to get past this lose as quick as possible cause their hope to qualify for the Champions League is at the verge of collapsing.

A resounding defeat for Chelsea, they failed to score even the goal of honor, they were practically humiliated.
It's true that Everton at home against the big teams are a significant threat, but it's also true that the match was one-sided.
A real shame for Chelsea, but Everton still did what they should have done: take points home.

I had no idea that the game would turn out that way, even though Chelsea has low chances of winning I didn't think that Everton would be able to score such amount of goals and Chelsea not being able to score even a single goal. Everton needed to get those points though. Chelsea on the other hand might just be the worst team In the premier league at the moment because their performance shows it all.

Manchester City absolutely battered Arsenal in the second half. Arsenal looked clueless on the ball. I can't wrap my head around Arteta's decision not to start Madueke. I'm curious to see how Arteta tries to sugarcoat this loss.

This is how the relegation battle looks after the recent results in the PL!

Tottenham should be grateful for Aston Villa to have beaten West Ham... Otherwise maybe they could have been in relegation zone now. They aren't in a safe place anyway though.  

I just don't have any words to explain their loss against Forest like that. I can only say that the players have completely lost their respect for Igor Tudor and they are doing their best to send him away. Probably it will happen at any time.

It was a surprising but not so surprising result considering that Tottenham have not been in a good form whereas Nottingham Forest is on the rise…. Fighting to get away from the relegation zone. Tottenham are back where they ended last season, I am still blaming the management for how they hire and fire coaches.
Nottingham Forest has really improved their game if they continue like this, they most likely will be safe at the end and they also have a chance at the Europa trophy.

Arteta made his substitutions too late. He should have made them before Manchester City took the lead. After taking the lead, Manchester City defended more comfortably and gave their opponents no chances. If Arsenal had made their substitutions earlier, the match could have been very different for them.

In matches like this, the managers' substitutions can directly affect the outcome. In this match, Arsenal made their substitutions too late, and Manchester City won comfortably.

No doubt Chelsea has been the worst team in the English premier league of late and i don't really expect such poor performance from them at this moment and i'm afraid they can't make it the UEFA Champions league next season because they can't move to anywhere with they way they have been playing of recent, like i really wonder what have cost them to be this awful because i can still remember vividly even when this new coach came they were doing well then all of a sudden they started underperforming without any serious injury like it still baffles me.

This is becoming worst for Tottenham Hotspur, they are currently one point above the relegation zone. If this team is not careful, they  might surely relegate. I don't just understand why the team is not winning anymore. It's as if there's no motivation within the players.

These players doesn't fight for the club batch anymore, they are just playing the way they like.  I really had high expectations for them at the beginning of this season because they started it it well with wins and bought players too.  Their only hope is to revive the players just to avoid relegation to the Championship.

Well this is the difference between a team that wants to win and another that was just there happy to be in the final, because I can't seem to rap my head around the whole play as arsenal were completely clueless on what and what to do with the ball. Arsenal just needs to be careful and need to put more seriousness on playing in a final if not they can lose out on everything and end up having no trophy again this season.

TO BE HONEST i was thinking this relegation fight was not going to happen but with each weak passing it becomes more realistic and if we are being real westham is in better form thatn them so there is a possibility that they will actually go ahead of tottenham maybe that is when the players will actually give a fuck plus the coaching recriutment was very poor igor tudor is a terrible coach since fro  the time of juventus i dont see any reason why he was employed

Before the start of this match, I could literally predict that Mam City would win the game, firstly because Arsenal are very bad with playing finals as they lack the experience to secure a win. Also, starting Kepa over Raya was also a bad idea from the coach,  given the fact that Raya has being the keeper from the beginning of this competition till the finals.

The relegation battle for Spurs was just realistic since they had only one point gap to the Westham. So i guess you were missing something by calllin it as unrealistic battle for spurs before. Spurs is now having two points gap to the Nottingham Forest. So they have lesser point gap to relegation zone instead of moving to the safe zone.

The thing people didn't realize if Spurs has completely died since Sony left them. So they have no someone to rely with. They might be already relegated if there were not Sony last season. yet, they are doing it now. It's quite entertaining to see spurs who have the "best stadium in Europe" is about to host Championship matches next season. 

So this is a final fight between Spurs and Westham, but i'm in favor Westham to leave from relegation battle instead of Spurs.

Manchester City is a better team comparing to Arsenal both in terms of squad depth and style of play. However, De Bruyne and ilkay reaching the twilight of their careers and eventually leaving combined with Rodri’s long term injury, has played a major role in the decline of their league dominance.

City has a game in hand if they win it, the gap will drop to 6 points. If Arsenal bottles the championship in the final 7 weeks no one should be surprised.

Newcastle United, after suffering a heavy defeat in the Champions League, also lost 2–1 against Sunderland today.
They were the better side but couldn’t get the win.

Tottenham keep losing, while Nottingham Forest, one of the teams near the relegation zone, won their match 3–0.
West Ham’s loss was good for Tottenham, as there is only a 1 point gap between them.
Let’s see which teams will be relegated from the Premier League this season.

When the next round of Premier League matches ends, Tottenham will no longer be just one point above the relegation zone, they will be in it...

West Ham will play at home against bottom placed Wolves. Meanwhile the Spurs will play away against the good Sunderland team. The nightmare of playing in the Championship is getting closer and closer

Both Nottingham Forest and Tottenham are weak teams especially Tottenham, I always knew Nottingham Forest was going to win against Tottenham and they really did, the only surprising thing I didn't expect was West Ham losing to Aston Villa as I thought they would secure a draw atleast.

Nottingham Forests zeal just comes from the fact that they are excellently fighting off the relegation zone and they would ever be able to win an European spot

[Adbitco]

Tottenham should brace up and get ready to be playing 42+ matches in the league alone, what they escaped last season, I hope they wouldn't escape it this season again, so I hope for them. I have not seen such a team, I still wonder why some EPL fans consider Tottenham as a big team or probably they don't know what it takes to be a big team as it stands. Just look at how a fellow weak team thrashed you at home 3 goals to nothing, you couldn't even score one goal to at least cheer your fans up a bit. Tottenham should go to the championship and reassemble themselves for life in the EPL next 2 season more. I just hope they make it to the championship since it's what they have been craving for since last season.

Who is going to buy his sugarcoating. He should have subbed on Madueke before Manchester City scored the second. Manchester City raised the levels in the second half they were better.

Yeaa,  Aston Villa had the game in their hands and took the win majestically. I do think West ham has a chance to leave relegation,  they have to be all about winning games, I believe because I know what they are capable of doing.

Igor Tudor has little or no experience, he has always been sacked for his lack of capabilities to lead games into the champions league position, there's no way he was trusted with bringing Tottenham out of relegation. The management of Tottenham are the greatest when it gets to delusion.

[Iroh]

And it getting real at this point that we might be seeing Tottenham in the championship next season, today this is a game they should have won, a game that would have put them in a very good position to escape the relegation but instead they got beaten at home by Nottingham forest and now they are just one point off the zone. They are still yet to win a match at home this year and that is really bad for them.

The club will lose just than it players if they get relegated by the end of the season, to be honest I don’t think these players really want to play for this club anymore, they don’t look motivated, they don’t look like they even want to give it a fight.

The season is coming to an end and if they don’t start winning games they would be shocked to see themselves in the championship next season, for now they are save by a point but if these performances don’t change the worst will happen to them.

They've had a very poor performance this season as they're very close to the relegation zone. And if things doesn't improve soon, they may likely finish the season being relegated. If Aston villa didn't win their game against West ham, we would have had Tottenham be in the relegation zone. For now, they're not yet there but they're dangerously close.
I don't know if they're not motivated enough as a team cause they ought to be playing much better than this. It's a bit surprising to see them hanging dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Talking about relegation it is between Leeds, Forest, Spurs and the Hammers. Villa beat West Ham but Spurs are the weakest team after they lost to Forest. Tudor is taking Spurs to relegation.

I don't understand why during one of the most important matches of the season Arteta chose to play with Kepa. I don't care about the "cup goalkeeper" tradition or whatever people want to call it, it's a final, you have to win, not to be fair to players. Kepa is one of the most overrated goalkeepers I've ever seen, I don't understand how he plays for a team like Arsenal (and Chelsea before). He is a disgrace.
