Arsenal have won Fulham United comfortably by three goals two from Viktor Gyokeres and  one from Bukayo Saka( been a while we saw him on the scoresheet).
I think they didn’t rest most of their key players even when they have a crucial game against Atletico de Madrid on Tuesday. Atletico on the other hand I think they rested a lot of players (some due to sketchy injuries), and still found a way to win Valencia, you’ll be surprised when you see some of these injury players today play against Arsenal.
All Arsenal has to pray for now is for Manchester City to lose or draw any of their outstanding games.

Leeds are out of the relegation battle. I was hoping Burnley could shock the world by defeating Leeds bringing Leeds close to struggle along side Westham and Tottenham on who will join Burnley and Wolves to the relegation. From the look of things, Leeds have done their part this season. I am very happy to see that both Leeds and Sunderland will be staying in the premier league. It is good news for the club and the fans to celebrate. The good start by Sunderland is what has kept them safe so far.

This team is quite surprising because despite their poor form, they consistently pose a threat to the top teams, such as the defeat to Manchester United and the draws with Aston Villa and Chelsea. Considering Leeds' current points tally, the relegation zone is no longer a concern, as they are much safer than the three teams below them. What's more interesting is Tottenham's position, as the team is still quite precarious and it will be quite difficult to escape the relegation zone, given that there are only four matches remaining and in those remaining matches, Tottenham will face much more evenly matched opponents.

Leeds United football team stats was good in this match and their shots were 17 in this match and 8 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 49 percent in this match and their passes were less in this match and these were only 434 in this match And their paa accuracy was not good in this match but they are winner because they have planning and did their full effort to win this match. The shots of Burnley football team were less in this match and these were only 7 in this match and 2 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 51 percent in this match. The passes of that team were more in this match and these were 480 in this match And pass accuracy was 85 percent in this match.

It’s not going to be an easy match for Arsenal considering the injury crisis the club is facing right now. We are not sure if Saka and Odegaard are even fit to start the match. This match is critical to Arsenal’s title race, they need to win this match to keep their head above water because City are obviously going to win their matches.

 I have actually thought about this issues also, it's definitely not going to be easy game for Arsenal, expecialy with the injuries on the key players, however, right now both Arsenal and Manchester City are in a very narrow stage of the tittle race, at this stage of the season,but i was impressedwith the Arsenal'sperformance, even a single loss can cause them damages in the league and it would be hard for any of the team to have chance of staying at the top standings

Also, presently the pressures are extremely high and if there's no consistency in them everything will go in vain, although many people assumed that Manchester City will keep winning thier remaining matches, but football doesn’t often goes as expected. Moreover Arsenal need to maintain thier standards with confidence, if not, once they leave gaps in between now and Manchester City grab the chance, it would be very difficult to recover from it. Arsenal-3 Fulham-0

That was an amazing performance from Arsenal, they actually did what was expected of them, I must commend them they've done really well, and I hope they be consistent with this kind of performance as it will help them Real good at this point in time, and resting players is not really that necessary, so no need for that, and for Victor Gyokeres that was lit of his performance today, I admire him in today's game and a good one for Bukayo Saka, such an amazing performance from a player who's just coming back from injury, like he's really shown his potential, a big one for the Gunners they should keep it up.

What other injuries are you talking about, Bukayo Saka is back from injury he even played against Atletico Madrid in their last game in the UEFA Champions League, that proves he's fit for today's task, and some of their key players are also fit so what is the injury excuse for? Well that is their warrant to beare, if they say they are going into the pitch with some excuse of injured players that's their business, for if they lose the game they will feel it more than I do, so they should better keep them head straight and work on how to win today's game else they will have themselves to blame.

Well, I guess success is the best response. 3 points secured and 3 goals to push the goal difference between them and Manchester City. I’m happy to see Gyokeres finally having an impressive game in months. Now we just have to hope that City do not win all their games.

[Akbarkoe]

As I said in the previous days that Arsenal will not lose points this week, and I did not expect that Arsenal dominated the match and could create a 3-0 goal without reply from fulham, this is beyond my prediction only mentioning a thinner goal, and gyokeres really shines tonight.
I'm not waiting for Manchester city's match against Everton, with City's ability now it must be very easy to beat Everton, although Everton sometimes really trouble the big teams when meeting them.

This was actually the arsenal of old because this exact performance they put out today was what actually made them stand out and got this far, arsenal have done so well this season and it would be a shame to for them to actually lose out on the league again this season after they have tried and work so much for the league. I think what made the difference in this squad today was actually the brilliance of saka and also the striker because they made the work easy and also closer to clinching the trophy.

[ITExpert]

Fulham should not be problem for Arsenal to play against they have all the tactical players for them to win against fulham and gradually the premier league is doing count down for it to finish and either way the trophy is going to be between us the city and arsenal so there is no much pressure again and now both clubs will tighten there belt for them to be able to win the premier league and that is exactly what it take to be a champion tightening your belt as a club.

Arsenal should be very possessive to now on till the end of the season because their win is based on their remaining matches. And I think all their left matches are with the weak teams and they can easily win. But they have to play very carefully because sometimes weak teams play with all their potential because they have nothing to loose. But for Arsenal it's the moment of decision so that they can get their desired position. And they should not to take any of their opponent for granted which Leeds them to the failure or any loss. This win is going to be very tough and very exciting for the Arsenal fans as well. And I personally support Arsenal because they were too good since the start of the season but their  bit mistakes cause this situation for them and they are still favourite to win the season.

[Emitdama]

I assume we can say that Leeds have secured themselves a place in the Premier League by that win over Burnley. The gap with Tottenham can still drop down to 6 points but there will be only 3 weeks remaining so...

Besides I even doubt not only Tottenham but also West Ham to win this week. Both of them have really difficult fixtures ahead. Brentford are still fighting for top 7. Aston Villa are secure in top 4 though. I just wonder whether Emery will rotate.

Then there could be a chance for Tottenham!

I would say Leeds already guaranteed it long long ago, not right now. Tottenham Spurs has 34 points, Leeds has 43 points, even if Leeds lost that game, they would have been 40 points, something Spurs will not reach at all. Newcastle is also almost a guarantee too, because at 42 points. At this point, only question left is will Spurs go down or will West Ham will go down, that is the only question left.

All other teams could feel a bit relief, because there is no way that these two can go higher than that. One or the other will fall, and the one who stays will be the last team not to relegated, it's obvious when you watch the games and there is no way that they can go on a winning streak for the reminder of the season.

[Waleron Wycliffe]

Arsenal didn't slip up and defeated Fulham at home. Arsenal, who scored three goals against Fulham, comfortably took control of the match in the first half. With two games in hand, they extended their lead to six points.

I didn't think the outcome would come this smoothly, I thought it was going to end in a goal advantage but Arsenal really showed up today that they are ready for this tittle race, it felt like they didn't just want the win but also wanted that goal difference in case Man City ends up drawing points with them and I can say from what I saw that they had clear chances to score more that those 3 goals. Overall Arsenal were creative and didn't sit back like expected, the only problem was they couldn't make passes that could break lines.

Comfortable win, now it is time to prepare for Champions league competition against Atletico Madrid. They got the job done during the first half thank to the combination of Saka and Viktor Gyökeres.
Lewis Skelly also was outstanding tonight as he was actually dominant in midfield. I hope we get to see him playing again against Atletico Madrid. That good performance deserves a second call up into the line up.

[Italian Panic]

Tottenham Spurs has 34 points, Leeds has 43 points, even if Leeds lost that game, they would have been 40 points, something Spurs will not reach at all. Newcastle is also almost a guarantee too, because at 42 points. At this point, only question left is will Spurs go down or will West Ham will go down, that is the only question left.

Unfortunately, yes, one of West Ham or Tottenham will be relegated. Leeds didn’t start well, but by the end of the season they extract their pride and managed to stay up; in fact, they’re now safe, just like Newcastle, palace and Nottingham Forest.
Of the two, I think Tottenham are in a bad way, not just because of their position or the two-point deficit, but because if fear gets the mentality of the players, they will end up making mistakes and getting poor results.

[Webetcoins]

Tothenham brought in Roberto De Zerbi, hoping that he would help the club escape relegation. This seems not to be going well since the club needs to win all its games to have a chance of coming out of relegation. The club has been able t grab four points in two games since he took charge. Tothenham would still have to play Aston Villa, Leeds, Chelsea and Everton. Two of these games are at home and the other is away. The fight to avoid relegation is fierce because Nothinham Forest and West Ham have also not escaped.

Well to be fair to him, they DID win their latest game, so at least he is doing better than Tudor we know that. But that is not enough because West Ham and Forrest also ended up winning their games as well, hell Forrest even won their Europa league game too.

So it is not like Spurs did badly, hey are doing fine, they won, but when you win at the same time as the teams above you wins, there is no difference in the result, you are still at relegation level, and they need to keep winning some more.

Arsenal performance today was incredible good. And if they play like this for all their matches, they will win the trophy in the season.  Arsenal overrun Fulham today. Fulham goalkeeper helped them to save because Arsenal was ready to score more. But after B. Saka, V. Gyokeres had scored in the first half,  I thought they would scored goals innrhe second half but things changed and strategies were changed too. Fulham became very tight for Arsenal to score.
So the match ended with 3-0. This a disgrace to Fulham. They would have scored one goal.

I know that arsenal will win the game and a lot of people don't belive that arsenal is going to win the premier league and Arteta have spent more years in arsenal to deliver the trophy for us because we are tired if becoming second in the league because we have enough chances to win, but seems Arteta is not ready to win the league and if we don't win anything this season then Arteta need to be more serious about winning and if he does not have the mindset to win then they should let him go because we need someone that will give us the result that we need not winning second position.

And we trusting for sure that Manchester city is the one that is going to lose or draw I know arsenal will make us proud this tike around because even the goal difference is gradually drifting from what Manchester City has as initial no assurance but am trusting arsenal not to lose to Manchester City.

The title race is shaping up to be a tight battle as the season draws to a close,  so it makes perfect sense that Arsenal are so determined and are even fielding their strongest squad for  every match, despite the risk of fatigue or potential injuries. But Mikel Arteta remained realistic, realising that Fulham could no longer turn the  game around, he opted to substitute Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and Gyokeres in  the second half. There wasn’t much time to rest, but at least that was far better than having to play the  full 90 minutes

Now it is Man City’s turn to bear the burden,  as they must win to keep their chances alive. Everton may not be a toptier team, but they’ll be playing at home , and I  don’t think they’ll let Man City off the hook that easily.

[Stable090]

I think they didn’t rest most of their key players even when they have a crucial game against Atletico de Madrid on Tuesday.

Maybe Arteta will want to focus more on the premier league this season, how will Arteta manage those players to play both the champions league and the premier league, I was thinking maybe he will bench some players today, since Fulham isn’t really a strong team that they will find so difficult to win, he should have just reserved some players, or maybe Arteta didn’t just underestimate Fulham, and right now he doesn’t want to lose any match since Manchester city is so close behind him, any lose from Arsenal now, they won’t be able to win the premier league again.

Arsenal next match against Atletico Madrid isn’t going to be a easy one for them, Arteta just have to manage his players properly now to avoid injury or fatigue.

All Arsenal has to pray for now is for Manchester City to lose or draw any of their outstanding games.

Manchester City is having tight fixtures right now, there won’t be so much rest for the players, but even as at that, I don’t expect Manchester city to lose or draw any match now. I will say Arsenal put their self in a condition where they have to pray for Manchester city to lose before they will be able to win the trophy.

I'm not waiting for Manchester city's match against Everton, with City's ability now it must be very easy to beat Everton, although Everton sometimes really trouble the big teams when meeting them.

Considering how Arsenal have suffered in front of Goal no one expected them to score 3 goals today but it actually good that they scored this much because the way the season is going we might end up seeing the title being decided by goals. Good one for Arsenal and Gyokeres, he scored 2 and assisted Saka with a goal, a very good outing from the Swedish striker.

Now all focus moves to Tuesday as they would be hosting Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the champions league. It will be a difficult one for them but I still think the gunners are in a very good position since it will be played at Emirates. For now they sit at the top of the premier league until Manchester city can come up with a better result tomorrow.

[pawel7777]

A comfy 3-0 win with the control from the start to the finish is what Arsenal needed to boost their confidence in the final stage of the RPL and before the UCL semi-final rematch with Atletico.
All worked perfectly fine for Arsenal. They created plenty of scoring chances and had no problems in converting them to goals. The defence was equally good. Fulham only had one decent scoring chance (which was a bit accidental) but otherwise posed no threat to Arsenal's goal.
This win puts the pressure back on Man City, who are playing Everton away on Monday.

Unlike Man City, who have 5 more games to play, Arsenal only has 3 and they are against clubs from the bottom of the table:

West Ham (17th place) - away
Burnley (19th) - home
Crystal Palace (14th) - away

So Fulham were, on paper, the hardest opponents out of all remaining games, although West Ham could be desperate for points to keep themselves in the Premier League, so I don't expect them to go down without a fight.
