Chelsea lost again. They played at home against Nottingham Forest and were beaten 1-3.
Their losing streak has now reached six matches and they are starting to drift away from 6th place. For Nottingham Forest, this was a very important win. They are moving further away from the relegation zone, although there is still a chance they could go down.

The one thing that is still surprising me about Chelsea is how a team that was in a good run will later lose the worse form by having a six consecutive lose streak. It is not that the team was blown by a heavy injury or they were sanctioned. Just like that, everything was normal and results started to decline abnormally. This is really unacceptable.

Manchester City are away to Everton tonight. City absolutely have to win because Arsenal have won all of their matches. If City lose, the title race could slip away from them.

Manchester city is currently leading by a lone goal. I do not see Guardiola as someone who will see a clear opportunity to win the league and play with it. This is my very big pity for Arsenal and Arteta.

[Mate2237]

Waoo congratulations to Forest for a remarkable performance  scoring three goals and going away with the three points at Stanford Bridge.forest is gradually going away from the relagation zone I like the way that Forest is playing these two days they are gradually finding their form which they were playing playing with when the season started initially. Every point matters now because we are in the critical part of the season where every point matters.


Manchester City has to score more goals, because the title is at stake right now, they will have to win and meet up with Arsenal. Because anything short of victory will not be good. I see city getting all three points from this game because they are playing like a team that is hungry for victory.

Nottingham Forest are actually on a roll here, they are unbeaten in about 10 games now. Since the draw against Manchester City they have become transformed. I’m beginning to strongly believe in them.

Chelsea problems continues from bad to worse and how will they expect to fare against Manchester City at the finals. Sad thing Cole Palmer missed a penalty that could have brought them back into the game and maybe changed the game.

A deserved victory for Nottingham Forest, they were the better team and Taiwo Awoniyi with a brace!!

At the moment, Nottingham Forest is making a miraculous comeback Because everyone can see that they have extended their unbeaten streak to seven matches. The reason why the intensity of the crowd's boos was reduced in this match held at Stamford Bridge was because the visiting team won the match very effectively because in my opinion Forest is trying to avoid relegation by winning this match against Chelsea. You should also pay attention to one other thing in today's round. You should also note that Chelsea were generally sluggish in this round today and this team lacked an attacking plan. It is even true that they were constantly losing in confrontations against Pereira's team, also with this defeat, the Blues are now joint 10th in the EPL points table.

[Woodie]

Citeh what just happened... game was going just okay with that 1nil lead not until the mess up , and personally felt like this game was getting boring 🥱😴 I stepped out for some air only to comeback to an Everton lead  

You know what Arsenal get your cup while the opportunity has now given you some confirmation, damn you City !! Can only imagine the celebrations that happened with that 2nd Everton goal..

Edit

Everton got a third goal, wtf

Wait City fighting back.. 3-2. 🤯

The one thing that is still surprising me about Chelsea is how a team that was in a good run will later lose the worse form by having a six consecutive lose streak.

Since Chelsea sacked Maresca everything changed for them, we all know Maresca to be a talented coach, he was performing well at Chelsea, so I don’t even know why Chelsea will sack a manager like this, they should have just given him what he wanted, if Maresca is still at Chelsea, am sure they won’t be in their current position, maybe they will also be in champions league zone, but since Maresca left Chelsea, they have been struggling, and I don’t know who Chelsea will be bringing in thats going to change their team.

So Chelsea won’t be playing in the champions league next season, thats so bad, Manchester United that started the season poorly will be playing in the champions league next season, and there is nothing for Chelsea.

Everton almost did a good comeback from 1 zero down to 3-1 lead if Doku had miss that chance it would have ended 3-2 in favor of Everton. Arsenal as a club and there fans will sleep well this period because the pressure will be less on them now as they are now at advantage of winning the premier league title. Arsenal should remain focus now that they are leading with 5 points if Man city wins there outstanding match it will be two points gap so if they can win their remaining matches they will win their long awaiting premier league title.

[Sexylizzy2813]

At some point I thought we won't get to the moment of we seeing Manchester City crying for a draw, it wasn't their day so the things they expected did not happen as planned instead it went the other way. I said it that Everton are going to give Manchester City problem of this season, the Citizens don't even have the believe on their club to get another goal to make it 3-3, they went out of the stadium but after hearing the Doku goal they all came back. Tonight is going to be a long night for the fans and the players but yet again, the league is still open for both clubs (Arsenal and Manchester City), which of these teams would drop another point before the end of the campaign?

Honestly, am even confused right now, I don't even know what to say anymore coming out with this outcome. A team like Manchester City just let this particular match go just like that, its so shocking and disappointing to me, expecialy at this tinny stage of the title race. In fact even achieving draw at this moment is nonsense to me, because one point at this situation seems useless. It's even better for them to lose than draw this match. I was impressed with the Evertons performance this night, though Manchester City had a first goal and Everton equalized them easily, I know right now that alot of fans who weren't in support of Arsenal to take/carry this season cup are not happy at all, due to this poorly performance from Manchester city that no one expected, now Arsenal are still having 90% hope more after this Manchester City losses. Well congratulations to Everton on this great outcome, Manchester City-3 and  Everton-3.

Have you seen this?



This table includes the part Carrick's time at Manchester United only. They have collected the most amount of points with him in the PL. Even more than the current title contenders...

He is doing this even without a great squad. Bruno Fernandes is making a huge effort. He is a one-man army. He should stay no matter what. They need him for a potential title race next year.

This is crazy stats!… This puts what Michael Carrick has done in so much limelight but it’s unfortunate he inherited many debts but let’s see how he runs in a full season. Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United’s best player ever since he arrived throughout all the bad runs and form he has been the one player you can hope on in the Manchester United squad, at one point he was one time highest scorer in the Club and assists too. Despite his temperament man deserves the Captain armband.

[xLays]

That was absolutely cinema, that’s all I can say. lol Good thing Man City managed to get a draw. If they hadn’t, I’d say their title run this season would be almost impossible to achieve. With only three matchdays left and Arsenal five points ahead, it’s fair to say the title is already leaning heavily toward Arsenal this season.
Looking at Arsenal’s remaining fixtures against West Ham United, Burnley and Crystal Palace, those are games where they could keep clean sheets.
Man City really needed that win, but instead they ended up with a draw and were even close to losing. Their last three matches are against Aston Villa, AFC Bournemouth and Brentford. I’m pretty sure at least one of those games could end in a loss or another draw, which makes their Premier League title hopes look very unlikely now.

Chelsea made a wrong decision to have sack Maresca little did they know they would regret it later. If they had known I don't think they would have sacked him but it is good for them maybe they would learn never to sack  a good coach again.if Maresca was still coaching Chelsea,they wouldn't have lost six consecutive times. Chelsea can improve next season depending on who would coach them..if they can sign a good coach they can do better and qualify for the champions season. Chelsea success would depend on who coach them. They should thoroughly search for a good coach who can help them ro improve their performance next season.

Yes I can actually say that Micheal Carrick has come in and has done exactly what he was asked to do and also went on to defeat most of the traditional top six in the process, personally he has done well and I am now optimistic that he is going to get the job even if it’s for not so long contract like 5 years but possibly two years with option to extend and some conditions will be on the table. I don’t understand the debts you said he inherited if it’s point then he and Chelsea had same point, if it was players I will still say Amorim left a pretty good squad around.
As for Bruno Fernandez, anyone judging him because of his temperament is simply just judging him wrongly, ever since he arrived at old Trafford he has been their best player in my opinion.

That was absolutely cinema, that’s all I can say. lol Good thing Man City managed to get a draw. If they hadn’t, I’d say their title run this season would be almost impossible to achieve.

Arteta and Arsenal will be damned to think that they can easily win all of there remaining games easily, the weekend game against West Ham will all but confirm west Ham relegation fight and with how they have played of recent that’s one big game against them for Arsenal, this game will be another league deciding game and then lastly Crystal Palace game which is trickiest game for both title contenders

Against Manchester City when Pep is so trophy hungry, well they did try but, that’s as far as they could get. I mean, when the scoreline was Everton 3:1 Manchester City, it did look as though they’ve got them by the balls but, letting Haaland get the best of them in no time to reduce the goal margin to 1, it takes the final whistle to keep them from seeking out a draw at that point. Manchester City is going to put the pressure on you until you give in and that’s what happened. Once the 6 minutes plus time came up, you just know that’s enough for something and Doku made it happen.

Well, my assumption that Manchester City would easily overcome Everton turned out to be wrong. Everton showed their teeth and the match ended in 3-3 draw. They could have even won if not for Jeremy Doku’s goal in the final minute of injury time. Doku, who scored twice in this match, essentially bailed Manchester City out of defeat. City should probably wave goodbye to their hopes of overtaking Arsenal in the title race.

In fact, Manchester City did things well in first 60 minutes before the first conceded goal from Guehi's terrible backward pass to Donnarumma. After that conceded goal, Manchester City fell out quickly but they shown their strength by getting one point back from Everton. Anyway, at this phase of season, 2 points lost means big disadvantage for Manchester City situation in the title competition directly with Arsenal.

They look like controlled the title race with Arsenal but this draw nearly destroyed all, and now Arsenal have very big advantage to win the title. Again, it seems we have to say this season is likely reserved for Arsenal but even so, The Gunners will have to perfectly perform and get maximum points in last three matches. Otherwise, we will have to say like Arsenal had almost everything to win the title but they were not able to convert them to a title.

Arteta and Arsenal will be damned to think that they can easily win all of there remaining games easily, the weekend game against West Ham will all but confirm west Ham relegation fight and with how they have played of recent that’s one big game against them for Arsenal, this game will be another league deciding game and then lastly Crystal Palace game which is trickiest game for both title contenders

Arteta used to be a player of Everton and this draw is like a big gift from Everton for Arteta. This not only eliminates disadvantage of Arsenal but turns it to big advantage for Arsenal in the title competition. The title from now will be decided likely not by goal difference but by point difference between two competitors.

Chelsea is a very bad and terrible team, I haven’t seen a team as bad and terrible this season as Chelsea, looking at the way Chelsea is playing they should be fighting relegation with Tottenham that is where absolutely fits them perfectly because they are playing a bad football, Nottingham Forest did beat Chelsea comfortably at their home ground, Chelsea is a disgraceful club, they think sacking managers is the solution to their problems they need to clean the whole squad that is they need new players, Chelsea squad looks like a Championship squad, I don’t even see that manger that will do a magic for them.

[MK-74]

Everton dealt a two-point blow to Manchester City.
Everton turned the match around from 1–0 down to 3–1, but they couldn’t hold on, and the game ended 3–3.

This is a very bad result for Manchester City, as the gap with Arsenal has increased to 2 points.

The Premier League is entering its final weeks and there is no margin for error for either team anymore.
The team that makes a mistake will lose the title. Maybe Manchester City lost the championship with this match.

City are once again giving a huge gift to Arsenal. All they needed was a win, I couldn’t believe it when I saw that the match had ended 3–3, and I was even more surprised when I checked and saw that City had been losing 3–1, and had to fight back until the very last minute of the game.

All I can say is that it was probably a good thing I missed this match, because I still had some doubts anyway. Well, I think this time Arsenal have to take full advantage of this gift. Today will be a very important match for them in the Champions League, and I think they’re strong enough to beat Atletico Madrid at home.

[Nahl]

Manchester City lost points indeed really hurt even they almost lose but luckily Jeremy Doku has scored at extra rime which make Manchester city can avoiding to lose but they only got 1 point from Everton and indeed this result is unfavourable for them because currently Manchester city has 5 points behind Arsenal and assuming if Arsenal keep winning for next 3 games then the winner of premier league is Arsenal but i am looking forward to see whether Arsenal has strong mentality or not because title race is very tight and there is no room for the mistakes because if Arsenal slipped i am sure Manchester city will taking chance to gets first place

Not only you, other people's assumptions are the same that Man City will win easily because it's an important match to win in reality it's not like that but instead it's held to a draw which is not profitable at all.

Starting from Guehi making a blunder --- Everton scored easily, Man City's defense began to falter and provoked emotions, even though they managed to equalize to 3-3, this is still a loss for City, which is currently even behind again.
