West Ham are already in the relegation zone, which they want to avoid, but I don’t think they will be able to avoid it.

West ham is the team which I think Arsenal will find difficult to win. West ham is currently in relegation zone, and they won’t want to be relegated, they going to do everything possible to win the matches they are having left, and we all know how stubborn west ham can be sometimes, Arsenal winning them tomorrow is something which I think is going to be kind of difficult for Arsenal.

Seriously the match is going to be a interesting one, Arsenal is aiming for the premier league title, so I don’t think they will want a team like west ham to win them in a period like this, Arsenal will do everything possible to get a win in the match, if they can win west ham, I don’t think the two matches left will be difficult for them.

Arsenal cannot afford to lose any of their remaining three games, as they are only two points ahead of Manchester City, so if they want to secure the title, they have to win every game. That two point lead is their hope until the end of the season.

The Arsenal players need to stay focused and cautious West Ham may not be doing well this season, but they are not an easy team to beat.

Sunderland drew 0–0 at home against Manchester United. With this draw, Manchester United once again failed to extend their five-match winning streak. I can’t say they played particularly well against Sunderland. United didn’t really have much of a motive to win anyway – we can say they finished the league in third place – but by securing five wins, they might at least have wanted to give their fans something to cheer about. They failed to do that again, and we can now say they’re looking ahead to the new season. As for Sunderland, their chances of finishing in sixth place are now gone. They absolutely had to win this match.

United can't play well yesterday against Sunderland. Especially in the middle, the absence of Casemiro left a big hole and broke the connection in this team. United has a very big task to get an equal or better replacement. And this should be a priority.

About the 5 winning streak, I think it started with the United Strand. It was funny at the beginning. But now it's more like an extra pressure rather than a motivation for the United players. People seem to be shifting their focus because of the United Strand, they worry too much about the 5 win streak because they want these people getting haircuts, instead of the points, progress, and performance of United as a team. Seeing it become a distraction and a form of mockery, this needs to be stopped.

The more United fail, the more this guy get money from brand deals. I am sure he's in a win-win situation now. United win? It's good. United lose? It's better.

Manchester united didn't really play a wonderful turnout game yesterday, Sunderland really pit them under a very high pressures, expecialy at the midfield and attacking defense, many of the Manchester United fans were expecting them to perform and dominate that game against Sunderland, but they weren't opportune even small. Same thing goes to chealse, but I wasn't suprised as well because  chealse are actually under go bad struggling at this moment of the season. Already they have losing form this particular season and I see that thier inconsistency as become normal thing to some of thier fans.

Today, some matches have already keep off already, and they are in half time already, so at the first half, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle are playing (0-0). Crystal Palace and Everton are playing (1-1) while the Burnley and Aston Villa played (1-1), as we can see all the already keep off matches actually played  draws in thier first half.

The match between Manchester United vs Sunderland yesterday reminded me of Ruben Amorim's time, like they were so awful in that yesterday game, truly Casemiro's absence was really felt no doubt, or should I say Manchester United didn't go for a win in that game because they literally have nothing to worry for, but I think if I'm Michael Carrick and I need this Manchester United job I'd do my best to win each and every game I'm playing to boost their confidence, but he chose not to win the game, but that's no big deal they should just give him the job because he's tried a lot.

The Arsenal players need to stay focused and cautious West Ham may not be doing well this season, but they are not an easy team to beat.

Every match they play now is a final so if they suffer a loss or a draw in the remaining matches their chances of winning the EPL this season will certainly be lost. Therefore they must maximize the opportunity that is right before their eyes with the goal of still winning this season. However I see the Arsenal coach has instructed all Arsenal players to continue giving their all to achieve their goals this season. In previous seasons they have always failed to win the title. With this opportunity now in sight they will certainly fight as hard as possible and not want to disappoint their fans.

What needs to be done now as you said is focus is the goal for the Arsenal players to be able to play their game by achieving results in each of the remaining three matches especially against West Ham. They are certainly not an easy team to beat. Although their position is quite far behind Arsenal, they are one team that all teams competing in the Premier League should be wary of.

You are probably right. That is what I thought. I did not see much desire to win from them. Their performance was not good. They did not  attack much. But in the last few matches we have seen  excellent performances from manchester united. Even in the previous match, manchester united was able to perform well against liverpool. But their performance against sunderland was weak. They could  not attack particularly strongly. Both teams are happy to  share the points in the  match.

[Sulegzy39]

I was quite impressed by Chelsea's performance at Anfield today; I expected Liverpool to win easily due of Chelsea's terrible performance, but they put on a fantastic show. Chelsea always plays well against top teams, but with Manchester City's present form, it will be extremely impossible for Chelsea to beat them, no matter how hard they try. Liverpool is struggling this season; if Aston Villa beats Burnley tomorrow, they will overtake Liverpool in the standings.

Michael Carrick doesn't need to win all games before he can prove that he deserves the job . With the position Manchester United is in the premier League table, he has already proven his worth. As for winning all matches, is not a must that he should win all the matches even clubs that in good form like Arsenal and Manchester city still lose matches so I don't see losing a match as a big problem here as long as the losing doesn't continue in there remaining matches.

I was really disappointed that Manchester United could not win a team like Sunderland but then I remembered that not winning doesn't really affect them at this point, they are occupying the third position on the league table and also they've qualified for the champions league as well which makes them in a better position than the previous seasons.

This isn't a problem because, as you said, they've already qualified for the Champions League. They should already be making plans for next year. For example, will the manager stay? I think Michael Carrick absolutely deserves to stay with the team for another year. The management needs to give him that chance. After he signs the players he wants and fills the gaps in the team, we can expect a good performance from them next year in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Manchester United will be participating in the Champions League for the first time after several very bad years. This is something very valuable, so I think the manager should be rewarded and stay with the team for another year.

I didn't put much blame on manchester United in this match because Sunderland has been consistent right from the beginning of the season especially when it comes to playing and home game, they came back from relegation and with the effort they put into their performance shows that they don't want to back down, i am so much impressed with how they are playing they gathered players that are not satisfied by the top teams and honestly they are getting good results.

Manchester United did so well but the reason why I didn't put too much blame on them was because they did their best, since they are not among the contendant for the title, their performance is okay if they can be able to maintain it. What I just want from them now is to see them in the Champions League next season which I'm very sure that it will happen.

[len01]

A lot of football fans thought that arsenal would not be able to win the game due to the fact that they didn't score In the first half, if arsenal doesn't win their match today then I think that would be the beginning of their downfall again and I don't really think that they are going to let that happen, Today it's going to be a win for them.

The only problem is that sometimes when Arsenal concede early, their mentality drops and they struggle to secure full points, usually ending up with a draw instead. Even though on paper Arsenal are clearly superior in terms of performance, West Ham also need points badly to survive in the EPL.

So, if Arsenal are out of sorts and can't secure an early lead, West Ham might be able to hold on for a draw.

I was impressed as well. Never thought Chelsea will put up a strong fight that way at Anfieid because of how they played previous games especially that against Nottingham forest. We all thought it's another lose for Chelsea especially when Liverpool scored early but seemed like Chelsea came prepared. Sadly nothing can be done again for Chelsea to qualify for the champions league, I'm really pained but it is what it is.

The game against Manchester City is the FA Cup final so even if Chelsea doesn't look sharp enough they can't be underrated because it's a final anything can happen. Finals are always different and doesn't always matter who is better.

Maybe qualifying for the Champions League made them more relaxed but there's a player that would be more disappointed at the result which is Bruno Fernandes, he has a goal to achieve and if they don't perform well so he'll see an opportunity to create chances and assist a goal then it might not be realistic this season.
 Well there's hope since Manchester United still have 2 matches left. Maybe Manchester United could've won that match if Casemiro and Sesko were available, Zirkzee and Mount didn't play like people that were hungry for a playing time, see how Zirkzee wasted a big scoring opportunity by failing to give an accurate pass to Bruno Fernandes. Although I'm really impressed with the goalkeeper Senne Lammens he  made up for his mistakes against Liverpool.

The amount of stress on these players are huge now, because normally in most other leagues we already know who the champion is, but at Premier league we still do not know, and it will not be guaranteed all the way until the very last game. Like the champions will be decided on the last whistle of the last game, that's all you can do and that is not an easy thing to handle neither.

This creates huge amounts of pressure on the players and this could cause some mistakes. This is why I am not hopeful as much as most of you guys about Arsenal getting two more wins in a row, could it happen? It really could, but it may not happen too, just like how City had the title but lost it last week, we could see Arsenal do the same as well.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’m a little bit frustrated that Aston Villa didn’t beat Burnley as that would have meant they would be guaranteed a CL place next season. Then they would probably have rested all their best players against Liverpool next Friday because of their EL Final shortly after. Now without a guaranteed CL place they will have to go hard against Liverpool and I do not trust us at all under Slot.

Of course, what you said could also happen. The difference is only 2 points, and there are still 3 matches left. It's not only Arsenal that is under pressure, Man City also has the FA Cup final, and Arsenal has the Champions League final. The last three matches will determine this competition. This will be very exciting for Premier League fans. Arsenal is not necessarily going to win the trophy, but they have the opportunity to do so.

Manchester United's third spot in this season is now a reality. No one was expecting this change after their last few worst seasons, but now things are already on track, and they need to do things that keep them winning and have good consistency.

Michael Carrick is doing a good job few players are going to be changed. This will increase their squad depth; a few players are surely going to be released because this is also important—they need to keep their dressing room atmosphere good this always helps teams have good results like they achieved after the arrival of Michael Carrick.

It is just as if Aston Villa is not serious about the qualification to champions league next season maybe they are feeling like they have qualified already but that is not certain yet because until the season is over or there is a match or two left it won't be certain. However, I see Aston Villa performance has reduced a bit and if not for Chelsea's under performance lately they would have been among the teams that would qualify for champions league that is by the way because I'm anticipating on Arsenal full time result.
