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.

Burnley was not a strong opponent. Arsenal won this  match easily. They took advantage of the  opponent's weakness. But arsenal won by  a narrow margin of 1-0 .

Burnley was  not able to make a single on target shot in the entire match. It can be understood from this that the team is not a strong team at all. Even their performance was  very weak. If burnley's attack  was a little stronger, Arsenal would have been under some  pressure. Arsenal's performance in this match was organized and stable.

This Arsenal game started off with a stubborn Burnley trying to prove to themselves that they can break the hearts of the home team, but because of the mounting pressure, Burnley could not hold on any more and Arsenal found the back of the net ..now game is still going with only 1 goal to show for and don't expect more to come.. and playing from the Emirates I don't see the Gunners losing this game either.. well-done Arsenal 

Crystal Palace over to you gent's, do your best  

I think arsenal might have a tough time winning Crystal palace because if they could not win Burnley easily even when they had home advantage I don't think they might win crystal palace. Burnley did their best not to allow arsenal, their only game play against them was to play defense but unfortunately that didn't work. Let's wait and see how arsenal performs in their next match, I predict that it would be tough for them.

Arsenal will watch the match of Manchester City as they will win the title if Manchester City lose this match against Bournemouth. I guess Manchester City will not lose to Bournemouth but a draw is possible even chance for it is small. Manchester City are strong and experienced enough to beat Bournemouth especially when they know that losing more points at the 37th match day is like losing a title to Arsenal.

Firstly we have to watch and wait for a result from Manchester City before thinking of what will happen with both Arsenal and Manchester City in their last matches next week. Arsenal have already done almost everything they can to win a title, only one more match day and if they win it they will take a title, while if Manchester City lose to Bournemouth, Arsenal will win the title before a last match day.

Manchester City, doesn't seem like they will drop points at this time they need it the most, arsenal had 2 jobs today and they only did 1, they got three points good, but they failed to accumulate goals to secure the future, i wouldn't completely blame them because burnley's defence was very strong today, and if not for that set piece I'm not sure arsenal would have won the match, but the big question now is that, is this how they want to play Crystal Palace?

If this is how they choose to get the Job done against Crystal palace, then that's their choice. What matters most is the result. Infact, we're yet to see the results of Manchester City's game, because that alone will determine if we're still going to talk about the Palace game or not. A lot of things are currently at stake here, but Manchester City are in a more tighter position. Morever, it was a brilliant set piece goal. Probably one of the very best they've scored this season, especially against a side that was willing to play a low block game to get at most a draw.

Talking about goals, Manchester City played a 1-0 the last time, Chelsea played a 1-1 at Stanford bridge, Spurs played a 2-2 draw, Liverpool played a 1-1 draw at Anfied, Manchester United played a 2-2 draw, so I clearly don't see why Arsenal's lack of goal in the game should be a big deal here. A lot of us seem to forget how tough the premier league can be, especially when it comes to Arsenal. Even bigger teams had similar experiences with this same Burnley. And again, yesterday was just another day in the office where Arsenal made sure their opponent doesn't get a single shot on target... We don't talk about how good a team needs to be in order to do that in a football game.

Arsenal will watch the match of Manchester City as they will win the title if Manchester City lose this match against Bournemouth. I guess Manchester City will not lose to Bournemouth but a draw is possible even chance for it is small.

A game between a side that is trying to cement its place in European competition, and a side contending for the title... It's definitely going to be a massive one. But just so you know, Arsenal fans aren't even interested in a Bournemouth win.... A draw is enough to make them champions tonight, though a win would also be welcome.

Two matches will be played in the Premier League this evening:
Bournemouth vs Manchester City
Chelsea vs Tottenham

Both matches are very important, on one side there is the title race, and on the other, the relegation battle.

Bournemouth need three points to remain in 6th place.
Manchester City must win tonight to keep their title hopes alive. If they lose or draw, Arsenal will be crowned champions this evening.

Tottenham need to beat Chelsea. If they fail to win, whether they stay in the league will depend on the result they get in the final week.
If they win tonight, they will avoid relegation and West Ham’s relegation will be officially confirmed.

The match between Manchester city and Bournemouth, it won't make much of difference whether Manchester city win or lose the match because Arsenal needs just to win crystal palace in other to win the premier League trophy. Therefore Manchester city may not be able to win premier League trophy this season , everything is really in favour of Arsenal.

Chelsea and Tottenham's game is going to be very interesting but I don't think that tottenham can win today even though they need to so they can get out of relegation. Chelsea will also look forward to win as well because they have had lots of losing streaks. As for Manchester city I don't think that they are going to have a tough time facing Bournemouth because they are also aiming to surpass arsenal.

Their performance being organized and stable was what gave them the chance to be ahead in this game. They have been playing greatly and winning this premier league title is the greatest thing they have in mind now. Burnley’s performance in this game was not bad but since that of Arsenal was better, they had the opportunity than them to prevail in this game. This was a must win match for Arsenal and they didn’t joke about it which I really liked about them to have earned the victory in this game. Burnley are already relegated, so I was not even expecting anything spectacular from them in this match, so I’m not really surprised about the outcome of this game being in favour of Arsenal who are fighting for the league title.

This match is more important to Tottenham rather than Chelsea... As you also said they need at least 1 point to secure themselves in the PL for next season.

I know goal difference is the first tiebreaker in case of equal points. But let's say Tottenham got a draw today. Then the gap to West Ham will be 3 points.

However even now the gap between the goal differences of these 2 teams is 13... It would be near impossible for Tottenham to relegate then.

And this is the more reason why Manchester city will not or may not want to lose the game today because Arsenal have not win crystal palace yet so there's is still a chance or possiblity that Arsenal can lose or win. And if it happens that Arsenal lose their last match against crystal and Manchester city lost today thinking they don't have hope, do you know how painful and how much they will regret losing today against Bournemouth? For now I think they should try and win their game and keep hoping until Arsenal play their last match.

Chelsea will beat tottenham at Stamford bridge,I don't think they would against tottenham. Chelsea is aiming to qualify for the conference league,they are better in form than tottenham,they have the better chance of winning the match.
Manchester city Bournemouth game is complicating who will win because bournemouth is unpredictable when going against a strong side. It is going to be an interesting game as anything can win happen, Bournemouth shouldn't be underestimated because they could beat manchester city using home advantage.

[Nightwatchmare]

I have always been of the opinion that Carrick deserves to be Manchester United’s manager. I was watching the game yesterday and I could see the belief and confidence in the players even when they conceded, they didn’t look beat (like they did under previous managers). It’s obvious that Carrick has brought back the winning mentality to the club, it would be a shame if the owners do not give him the players he wants in the transfer window.

Manchester United made the right decision to give Carrick a contract. I thought they would do it much earlier, but they decided to wait until the end of the season. I also think he will receive strong financial backing for new transfers, and we will see an even stronger team next season. In addition, the Champions League will also be added, which will require a higher quality squad depth for rotation across different competitions.

Michael Carrick has done more than enough to earn himself a contract at Manchester United. Manchester United would have made a mistake if they had given another coach a contract so they made the right decision to give Michael Carrick a contract even when some Manchester United legends do not want him to be giving a contract. Manchester United did not give Michael Carrick a contract earlier because they were not sure of him and they were also looking for other options but as Manchester United won 11 games out of the 19 games they played under Michael Carrick, Manchester United decided to give Michael Carrick a contract and allow him manage Manchester United for a while.

Chelsea will beat tottenham at Stamford bridge,I don't think they would against tottenham. Chelsea is aiming to qualify for the conference league,they are better in form than tottenham,they have the better chance of winning the match.
Manchester city Bournemouth game is complicating who will win because bournemouth is unpredictable when going against a strong side. It is going to be an interesting game as anything can win happen, Bournemouth shouldn't be underestimated because they could beat manchester city using home advantage.

I don't think Chelsea will beat Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford bridge, I am not impressed with both teams, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur but Tottenham Hotspur has a chance to go three points ahead of Westham that lost to Newcastle at the weekend.
Chelsea may want to qualify for Europe but Tottenham Hotspur trying to prevent relegation is a more precarious position than the one Chelsea find themselves in.

The title now depends on Manchester City. Whether the title fight ends today or if they can keep the title fight alive for another match, it will be up to City to decide. I believe City will play their best and take 3 easy points from the match. Bournemouth are an unpredictable team, they have the ability to surprise any team, but it may not happen today.

However, there is some doubt here, Bournemouth will try to give City a hard time at home and will try their best to qualify for the Champions League. In this case, they are most likely to fail.

Yes, even if Manchester City try their best to beat Bournemouth and Aston Villa in the next match, Arsenal only need to beat Crystal Palace, then their title is guaranteed. So I think the probability of Arsenal winning this title is 90%. It will not be a big pressure for Arsenal to beat Crystal Palace, in terms of their team strength, Arsenal is higher than Crystal Palace, and since this will be the final match to confirm their title, so Arsenal will definitely not lose against Crystal Palace, so the title will go to Arsenal this time.

Two matches will be played in the Premier League this evening:
Bournemouth vs Manchester City
Chelsea vs Tottenham

Both these matches will be competitive. Manchester City is a strong team. But Bournemouth are in very good form right now. They have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches. Bournemouth have been unbeaten for a long time. The team will try to get points against City as well.
Both chelsea and Tottenham's performances have been erratic. On the other hand, the match is very important for tottenham. They must earn  points to avoid the relegation zone. Because tottenham is only 2 points ahead of West Ham. So Spurs will fight hard to get 3 points against chelsea.

[xLays]

I’m betting on the last 2 games of this Matchday 37. After this, it’s the final matchday already, with 10 games played at the same day and same time. Hopefully my bet wins so I’ll still have something to stake on the last matchday lol.
I’m going with Manchester City, of course. They really need this win to still have a chance in the title race. If Arsenal draw or lose their last match, and City win their final two games, then City could still end up winning the title. Correct me if I’m wrong.

As for Chelsea, I think this might finally be their turn. They’ve gone a lot of games without a win, so maybe this time they can finally break that streak..

I thought this match would be a bit of a close game, I thought maybe Arsenal would score 3 goals and win. But Arsenal only scored one goal. Arsenal are the top team this season and Burnley are the bottom team in the league. Burnley have drawn one of their last 5 matches and lost all the others. This match was a foregone conclusion and Arsenal just went out and made it happen.

Even if Arsenal manages to beat Burnley yesterday the fight for the title is still on and it is not over yet, and as Arsenal have not play against Crystal Palace and win, Manchester City will not lose their today's game against Bournemouth and there is still a chance for Manchester City to win the title if they can reduce the point to 2 points. For Arsenal to win Burnley 1-0 at Emirates stadium, i think they would find it difficult to win Crystal Palace in the last match day, so i would be expecting a surprise from Crystal Palace on that day.

Chelsea will also look forward to win as well because they have had lots of losing streaks. As for Manchester city I don't think that they are going to have a tough time facing Bournemouth because they are also aiming to surpass arsenal.

It's going to be an interesting night, every clubs are fighting for something for tonight game, Tottenham has to play the game with all their hearts and mind to get a point against struggling Chelsea , both team are struggling and I think Tottenham needs the point more to survive from the relegation zone if only they can draw or win Chelsea tonight.
Then for Manchester City and Bournemouth, it's a must win game for Manchester City to keep the title race to the last game on Sunday.

Tottenham has to do everything not to lose this game tonight, or else they will risk their chances to escape relegation this season. The league is coming to an end and we all shall focus on the world cup next.
