Arsenal beat Burnley, overcoming another obstacle, and the championship is now closer than ever. It wasn't an easy victory there was only one goal for Arsenal, making it a tense match. Although that goal was scored early by Havertz, the tension didn't subside in the following minutes because Arsenal didn't score the other goal that would have eased the pressure – or rather, couldn't score. Their 22-year championship drought is now very close to ending.

Nervy win by Arsenal, but a win is a win. Arsenal now bag 3 points, moving on to the next game at Selhurst Park. I always knew it would go on to the final day. There was much tension when Arsenal tried to create a chance in a hurry, it caused panic and errors in the final third. However, Man City won Burley by 1 goal, Arsenal did the same tonight. Tomorrow or the last day will decide the title winner.

The way that Arsenal managed to secure their win in a close call with Burnley showed that they could achieve the results even in the worst possible condition. That was one objective that would be vital in their hunt to end their 22 year title drought. As the match continued, the tension remained to the end, but the leadership ability to stay in check until the final whistle is a trademark of one who is a title contender and is eager to avoid all the challenges set out by opponent in the vital weeks of competition in this season.

There defensive tactics towards games has proven very reliable although, there is an underlying need for them to increase their goal margin. It did solve the problem for now given that, they got a goal in the first half and secured the 3 points but, hanging on with just a goal difference in their fixtures is a risky move. Something they almost realized how risky it was against West Ham. They managed it real good against Burnley today though and the premier league trophy is almost in their hands.

Some online news spread the rumour about Guardiola will leave Manchester city this summer they sure this is not a rumour even those media has starting to make speculation about who is the next coach of Manchester city but indeed nothing last long in this world especially in soccer that impossible to the coaches to handle the particular teams for their life because someday they have to leave too including Guardiola and he is into Manchester city for almost 10 years with plenty of trophies which make Guardiola as the most success coach for Manchester city so, if he leave this summer Guardiola will leave as a legend and Enzo Maresca seems the only name who possibly will being an the next coach of Manchester city

This win was quite disappointing but indeed a win is a win, so let's move on with it, but to me at this point Arsenal is already won the league, because Crystal Palace can't do anything in that game, as they will be thinking more about their £10,000,000 that is to be received from Arsenal to them and again their final in the Conference League, so they've got absolutely nothing to worry about in that game, so at last Arsenal is won the English premier League after so many years of trying, congratulations to Mikel Arteta in advance.

It has really been a lucky season for arsenal because almost all the key decisions by the referee has been in their favour, if not with their performance against westham United and Burnley yesterday, they would have dropped points that may have cost them their first position in the league. Kai havertz should have been red carded yesterday because his tackle on the Burnley player was really dangerous and may have warranted to a serious injury, but the referee waved it of with only a yellow card, but it was a clear red card offense which would have changed the whole context of the game.

We all know that a one nil lead is nothing and can be easily clawed back, so I agree with you that they need to improve on that because they wouldn't be this lucky in their final game against Bournemouth or next season if they continue such way.

Even if Manchester United does not strengthen their place in the top 3 by beating Nottingham Forest and adding more 3 points to their points, they will still finish in the top 3 because they are leading Aston Villa with 3 points in the league standings, and even if Aston Villa win their last game of the season and Manchester United lose their last game of the season, Manchester United will still use goal difference to remain in the top 3 and finish in the top 3 at the end of the season. And i think since Manchester United is certain of finishing in the top 3 this season their struggle against Nottingham Forest will continue since they do not have anything to lose if Nottingham Forest beat them.

Yes, assuming they lose to Nottingham, the top 3 still belongs to them and even if in the last match against Brighton they also lose, one place to the UCL for them is certain to remain safe, especially if Aston Villa wins the Europa league then Man Utd only has to relax waiting for the premier league competition to end. But I hope they don't slacken their performance, I still want them to win the remaining matches, especially against Nottingham later, because I have included them in the betting slip.

Even if Manchester United had lost to Nottingham Forest and also lost the last match of the season against Brighton and Aston Villa won the last match of the season against Manchester City, the top 3 or 3rd place in the league standings still belongs to Manchester United they will use goal difference top stay ahead of Aston Villa in the league standings, Manchester United have secure a champions league ticket so they do not need Aston Villa to win the Europa league to relax waiting for the premier league to end. Manchester United did not slack their performance, they won Nottingham Forest. I hope your bet entered after Manchester United won Nottingham Forest.

Out of your 3 picks, only the Arsenal match is the one that raises a bit of concern.

Arsenal can usually score 2+ goals at home without much trouble, that’s true. But looking at the odds being that low, it doesn’t really match the risk involved. At this stage towards the end of the season, Arsenal can be a bit unpredictable and might not always meet expectations. And Burnley may look weak on paper, but teams like this often end up being a problem for big sides when it comes to securing a win.

Arsenal were really a disappointment... They beat Burnley easier in their away game earlier than this. But at home, they were able to score only 1 goal. 

By the way referees are still continuing to gift Arsenal 3 points for 2 games! How don't they give that clear red card to Havertz?

What should he have done more to get that? To broke his opponent's leg?

How's this not a red card offense, maybe the ref and the VAR officials were all sleeping on duty when this tackle took place. The ref gave yellow for it, lol. Different strokes for different foes, despite the clarity of the rules, the refs still holds the final decision, sometimes they get the correct cal and sometimes some of them don't. If it was a referee like Michael Oliver, that's a direct red card and that's the right call, Havertz raised his full stud and that's a red card offense but as the allegation this season goes, the FA has decided to give Arsenal the trophy. Back to back games this crucial period has had calls gone in favour of Arsenal.

A little late in my opinion. If he had left at his peak, many (fools) would have continued to consider him a legendary coach, but it turned out that as soon as the times of financial advantage (and cheating) ended, the results immediately ended too. It would be ironic if City were punished (how much longer can this farce continue, dammit!) and Maresca were forced to work under even more difficult conditions. This would again work for Guardiola's image.
It may be too early to tell, but if Slot is not replaced, next season will be extremely competitive with no clear favourite for the title.

Arsenal fought hard against Burnley in the 37th round today but still we noticed that they secured a victory in this match and it can be assumed took a step closer to ending their long wait for the PL title. You are right that their defensive tactics has proven to be worthy as they have been able to handle the pressure at the decisive stage of the season. However I think that Arsenal's first trophy of the season depends on Manchester City because it's true if they drop point against Bournemouth tonight then it is safe to say that the PL club Arsenal will officially secure the title before the last match of the season. Manchester City will travel to Bournemouth tonight and they may be in the mood to win this game as in my opinion everyone may have noticed that they recently destroyed Chelsea in a tense final match of the FA Cup.

He has stayed and become someone that shouldn't leave the club because Manchester City is like a team he started growing from there academy till they are were they are now because even if challenges comes for him in the club before two season he would bring them back, so that's why even if his leaving will not go beyond the end of this season but people still imagine more longer stay in Manchester City but however we are still considering everything to be a speculation but when Manchester City starts making move for another coach is when we would no that it wasn't a speculation. However Manchester City has had long names of undisputed coaches so they shouldn't loose it by getting a wrong coach after Pep.

This one is likely to be my new one for the remaining games of the round. Total odds: 3.58. Let's see how my luck goes this time...

Sorry mate! You lost yet again 

I had your bet on my watch list since yesterday. I admired your confidence on Arsenal but I doubt the success of this ticket from the beginning just because of this Arsenal game. Quite alright, I also believe Arsenal to win somehow but I never expected a wide margin. To some extent, I was afraid Arsenal might end up playing draw with Burnley that yesterday but they managed to pull through. Let see what Chelsea and Manchester City have for us tonight.

What if Manchester City made it £20,000,000 behind closed doors? Double what they will gain from the contract with Arsenal. Manchester City is charged with 115 charges. We don't know what and what is included in the charge. What I know is that Manchester City has a lot of money that they have used to bribe their way into doing bad things in the Premier League, especially in the signing of players.

It's definitely going to be an intresting match to watch tonight. The Manchester City against Bournemouth match and also the Chelsea’s vs Tottenham match will  actually play a big role on deciding how this season premier league tittle will end, yesterday Arsenal's match play against Burnley was not an easy game seriously, Burnley already being relegated so even if they won that match is of nor use for them, Arsenal won easily and comfortably, but I will aslo say that Arsenal mange to score, because sometimes football outcomes normally suprises us or not work as expected, the way Arsenal was struggling in that match I was even thinking of maybe the match may ended in draw but they finally managed to won Burnley.

Currently, all dramas are in Manchester City's hand, if Manchester City win thier match today, then th3 tittle race continues until the final day and the pressure will remain on Arsenal,but I'd they fail to cope, Arsenal will have a huge advantage abmbd the trophy could be thiers, however let see how the outcomes maybe tonight.

My own point exactly, after the win against West Ham previously and just the one of last night against Burnley, it's all over. Arsenal has won the league so long as the last match is between Arsenal and a team they have a contract with. Crystal Palace to me wouldn't jeopardize their chances of getting free £10 million. They are already safe and a loss wouldn't drag them down to the relegation zone, so technically they won't be afraid of that. Crystal Palace will not play to win or draw, it's going to be the easiest match for Arsenal in this crucial period and time for Arsenal.

Their 22-year championship drought is now very close to ending.

The entire Arsenal team, players, coaches, and their fans are very motivated, they have believed the process for very long time, they deserve to be happy because Arsenal fans are usually the most loyal fans in the world of football, so they are very motivated and happy as their team is closer to the victory after finishing second three times below Manchester City, I believed it’s time for them to be happy.

One game to for Arsenal, it’s against Crystal Palace who have the UEFA Conference league finals to play just three days after playing against Arsenal; I believe they will do well to rest some players since they have already escaped relegation, they will rest some players so that they can be strong in the finals; therefore, I think Arsenal have the upper hand to win easily even though Palace is a London team that will want to stop Arsenal by all means, but they can’t miss the finals because it will give them chance to play in the Europa League come next season.

[MArsland]

Manchester United could have scored 4 goals if Mbeumo managed to take advantage of 2 chances that could have been confirmed as goals. But he always lost control of the ball and was in such a hurry that the ball often bounced over the post.

On the other hand Arsenal secured another 3 points over Burnley with a narrow score and obviously I don't like Arsenal's minimal goal productivity. They must be more aggressive in scoring goals.
Until the 37th match is not yet official as the winner of the EPL title, Arsenal must wait for the results that Man City will get in today's match against Bournemouth.

[chinhar]

Is a really incredible run this one of Michael Carrick as a head coach of Manchester United, he took a team very difficult to coach where a lot of coach with much more name than him fail to direct and him made it perfectly since the start, i want to see how he does in the next season when he builds his own team buying the players he wants.

From the way things are going this season it's a good sign that Manchester United are going to do well next season because Manchester United has not being in such a form for a long time now but Michael carrick has made it possible for this to happen. I really want to see how far they can go in the champions league next season.

Given how he's managed the team so far this season and handled all their chaos, he deserves full credit. That's why they immediately signed him to a two-year contract, and given that he managed to lead Manchester United to third place this year, I predict he'll be even more determined to win the title next year. For now, I think he'll focus heavily on the Champions League, and we'll see some good results there too.
