Manchester United aren't likely to win against Sunderland but there is no issue with that! Because they are already quite safe from losing the 3rd place.

I don't think they will lose their place to Liverpool in the remaining 2 rounds. Liverpool failed to beat Chelsea today unexpectedly.

In the last match of the day I don't expect any point loss from Manchester City.

[wakier]

Tomorrow the first match looks really attracting! Yeah maybe Chelsea are trash and Liverpool aren't having one of their best seasons.

But I still don't expect a boring match. Liverpool would be in control most of the time I guess. Chelsea are in a big mess these days...

I expect Liverpool to win at Anfield. Maybe even without at least a few goals considering Chelsea's weak defense.

Chelsea goes about giving every opponent some free points and high goal expectant. The club is unlikely going to get a grip on Liverpool, whose side isn't strong too, but seem to have the gravity to destroy the weaker opponent. It would be an interesting play, Chelsea only need to, if possible, strengthen their back line, to be able to hold Liverpool on a draw in the match.

Indeed, in the last 6 matches, Chelsea seemed to give a lot of points to their opponents until finally their position immediately dropped to 9th place which was originally competing for the top 4, even against Liverpool I am not sure Chelsea can take points from Liverpool, performance looks better lately while Chelsea is the opposite but as you said if Chelsea can fully control the back line Chelsea can at least try to get a draw.

Chelsea have been performing erratically  for a long time. I thought chelsea could finish in the top  6 of the table. But they are ninth in the  table due to consistent poor performances. We do not  see any improvement in their performance  yet. It is true that if the defense was a bit tighter, chelsea could have done better in  some matches. They are largely behind due to poor defense. At the same time, although the attack is strong, their performances  are erratic. Chelsea have scored  54 goals and conceded 48 goals in 35 matches.

Ever from the beginning of the season when Chelsea was performing very well, i thought we could have a big challenge at the Champions League zone because almost all the five teams are performing better and they will be a fight when it comes to winning trophy, but it seems that they were just fooling themselves because that is exactly what is happening now Chelsea is nowhere to be found even close to the Europa League zone and Liverpool are also battling too. I don't expect Chelsea to do anything positive this time around because of how they are performing now.

One of the critical games has started for Man City! Nothing below 3 points is acceptable for them at the moment. They are already 5 points behind Arsenal after not being able to beat Everton.

Brentford is a team with goals now. Conference League or Europa League, whatever they can do! Their number one rivals for the same goals both won today. But I don't think they can steal any points today.

[Agbe]

The faith of Manchester City contesting with Arsenal in the premier League trophy will be determined by today match with Brentford and Manchester City is dominating the game. R. Cherki, J. Doku and  A. Semenyo the three front center players are doing well now and if the match end the first half with draw. There must be a good result in the second half. I predicted Manchester City to win this match.

[Adbitco]

As I expected, Liverpool has scored the first goal of the match against Chelsea,

As a Chelsea fan I didn't even want to watch the match because of the present form of Chelsea, I don't want to get emotional today, but that's not what a real fan will do, so have to

Nevertheless I hope that they will perform well to be able to equalise immediately and there will be enough to make something positive happen.

I understand that feeling as well, I don't think I will be able to watch Barcelona Vs Real Madrid match tomorrow because Barcelona might just end up beating us blue black. Look at how the team is so disorganised and I think Barcelona will use that as an added advantage forgetting the fact that they have already won the league. Before the match, I was thinking that Liverpool will comfortably win Chelsea given they they at home and Chelsea's recent form is nothing to write home about, I was surprised to see the match end in a draw. So Chelsea can allow small teams to beat them and not big teams? Does this mean that the players knows what they are doing?

Let us try to be realistic here, with or without the crisis in the Real Madrid team right now, Barcelona would still beat them no doubt, because Barcelona is more formidable than Real Madrid this season, so they are at advantage of winning the game, and for Chelsea they actually surprise me today with the way they played, but I don't really think that have got anything to do with the players, they fact is the Chelsea team is full of average players, and inexperienced coach, so what more do you expect, but I really congratulate them for today's game, I didn't expect such performance from them really.

With Chelsea form I was not expecting them to draw against Liverpool but when big teams meet each other whether they are inform or not they will always perform well. I was even surprised how they somehow dominated Liverpool at Anfield but they later shared the point and I will say it was not a bad result for Chelsea considering their form. I don't know why Chelsea and Manchester united sometimes tend to have same result, Manchester united form is better than Chelsea's and I was expecting a win from them not this result and it surprised me how Sunderland dominated in the first half.

What if the result until the end is a draw? This is detrimental to Man City and benefits Arsenal, fortunately the time in the second half is still long their chances of scoring goals are still there, do not get full points.

I also expect Man City to win, until now I still continue to watch the match, the dominance of the game is still being controlled by the home team, it's just that finding a gap in the goal space is still quite difficult for Haaland and his friends.

Chelsea did well at Anfield, they had an offside goal, which would have been a win for them, unfortunately it was cancelled. The end is always the best part of premier league, every side comes up with their best. Don't blame any team who gets a win or draw, the competition just began. And for some reasons, they are club who don't want to be relegated, others need to be in the champions league, while others in the Europa, a single mistake could ruin it all for clubs that don't do well to take up a better position to set into the next season.

[Issa56]

You are expecting Manchester City to lose their game for Chelsea. Even in a dream that can't happen. I am not a Manchester City fans but from the way I see things, Manchester is not playing for survival in the season like Chelsea but there are playing to win the trophy so any match they're playing now is hope of winning it to the to trophy. And we should not think of predict that Chelsea will win Manchester in this critical time in the season.

Currently Manchester city is having tight fixtures, it’s not really going to be easy for them, they are still fighting to win the premier league title. I know Chelsea performance is poor right now, and Manchester city plays better, but when Chelsea gets to final their performance is always different, their performance is always good whenever Chelsea is playing in the final. I feel Manchester city is going to focus more on the premier league matches, and I don’t really know how pep Guardiola is going to properly manage his players now, because the fixture is so tight which is an advantage for Chelsea. Right now Chelsea will focus on how they going to win the FA cup because that’s the only thing they fighting for.

Am not confident that Chelsea will be winning the FA cup final, but don’t underestimate Chelsea, they might just end up surprising us in the match. We say what Chelsea did in the last FIFA club World Cup final.

Maybe, this season's champions will be determined on the final day of the season. Because as it stands, Manchester city are winning and they are now 2 points behind league leaders, Arsenal until they play tomorrow. We won't also forget that city have a game in hand. So, it's not yet clear. If every team keeps winning there matches, then it will be decided at the final day of the season.

Arsenal will be playing a tough match tomorrow, which has a lot to say about there chances of winning the league. If they manage to beat West ham, then they are more advantaged. Westham will be a tough match because they are fighting to escape relegation while Arsenal wants to keep up and win the trophy.  Let's see how it goes

When I first saw the line up Manchester City I knew that they were didn't come to joke today because they know that once they drop more points against Brentford they will automatically have over the league title to Arsenal. But today they have increased their chances of challenging Arsenal again by defeating Brentford by 2:0 with 7 minutes left to play in the game now I think they should concentrate on scoring more goals so that if anything happens to Arsenal in terms of their results they will have goal advancement over them. Manchester City has won this game already they just need to hear the final whistle.

As I said the second half will be a bread and butter for the Manchester City fans. Like someone said, we can't predict the tile race again in the season the way things are going. And that is true. We can only prediction the final match. I gave hope to the Arsenal fans in a thread in the local board and I was attacked that, there was no hope for Arsenal and here we can all see. The race to the title is getting intense every weekend. Manchester City is doing great job on the pitch. J. Doku, E. Haaland and O. Marmoush done a great job this evening to put smile on the fans of the club.

To be very honest, this is becoming so unduly competitive. I expected Brentford to give Manchester city a very big fight for two reasons;

• They had the chance to play in Europe if they won or drew Manchester city
• Their striker is competing for the golden boot. A goal or two could mean alot.

But I was disappointed when they couldn't hold Manchester city. Not only that, they also was unable to make the score stop at one. Now, Manchester City got 3 goals from this fixture. At this point in time, every goal is very important for both Manchester city and Arsenal. Arsenal has no other option than to win their next match with more than 2 goals, the keep the gap going.

[BIT-BENDER]

Three second half goals by Manchester city against Brentford is keeping Manchester city firmly in the English premier league title race, I actually feared for Manchester city in the first half, Brentford were comfortable in the first half and I felt Manchester city where agitated in the first half.
The end result is very vital for Manchester city pursuing Arsenal who have to face West Ham tomorrow. How important are goals for this two teams.

The match ended and Manchester City showed their capacity as a big club in this match but even so the 2 point gap is still clearly visible and they must expect Arsenal to at least win a defeat or draw in the remaining matches now if they want to return to the championship path because if Arsenal sweep 3 wins in 3 matches before the end of the season, it is certain that this season Arsenal is the trophy holder and this is also the difference for Arsenal this season and the previous season.

Manchester City played well in this match but it cannot be denied that Brentford's defensive scheme was also initially very good especially for the first 45 minutes of the first half but in the second half they seemed to lose the momentum that made Manchester City get 3 goals.i
It's a good 3 points for Manchester City but they still have to hope for more with Arsenal's performance for now.

Brentford is a team with goals now. Conference League or Europa League, whatever they can do! Their number one rivals for the same goals both won today. But I don't think they can steal any points today.

Manchester City are also serious, as they want to be so consistent, and they won their game today with a margin of 3 goals. Manchester City really did well today. They have learnt from the game against Everton, which is a good one, and now they are 2 points behind Arsenal. The only problem now is for Arsenal, if they will be consistent in winning their games till the end of the season. So, for now, in the Premier League, all I will say is let’s wait and see how it will end for both sides.

It's just 3 games left to play and I don't expect arsenal to drop any points again till the season ends except of course they decide to do crazy things and make it obvious that they are desperately in need of dashing Manchester City the premier League title because from where am standing I think arsenal are going to win and if there is anyone even to drop points it definitely going to be Manchester City.
