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 would definitely win Crystal Palace and win the league, my doubt is that Mamchester City might not secure a win in today's game against Bournemouth playing from away and also considering Bournemouth's recent form. Manchester would also face Aston Villa in their next match which would be another difficult opposition for them too.

Its crystal clear that Arsenal lack goal scorers who hunger for goals, and so a bit of creativity in the midfield but evidently the strongest defense in the Permier league. Burnley did not make as much chances for a goal against Arsenal,  the Gunners were more focused on securing the goal than actually attacking. With the last game being the only hope, Arsenal would play with so much commitment; they have worked so hard for it and its only fair they win the league trophy.

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.

It's true that Arsenal won the game with just a goal, but I don't think there was ever a time that they feel threatened by Burnley,  because Arsenal was in control of the game for the whole 90 mind. I can't even remember David Raya making any decent safe that's because he was never threatened in the match. Arsenal is just 90 minutes away to be crowned champions of the premier and I think they really deserve to win it, because they have been very good all season and they have ry worked hard for it.

I bet on the match with first half win, but I do not watched the match. I forgot until this afternoon that checked the bet and I won first half with 1.35 odds instead of 1.08 odd or so that is the total odd for Arsenal to win. Be it threat or no threat, all I know is that Arsenal won, and Arsenal would win the last match also which is usually certain for most good clubs in EPL. But you are very right, no single shot on goal from Burnley and the ball possession was 60% for Arsenal for the total match play time.

Well good for you that your bet came through but it's not always like with some cases similar to this arsenal vs Burnley and am talking about other games in the premier League that had this same set up, sometimes it harder to crack open a defensive side who came not to play the ball but rather to defend and frustrate their opponent and for this your game, I feel you were lucky that the goal came in the first half because it would have been that they scored in the second half which would have changed everything since that arsenal team lacks much creativity that can lead them to scoring much goals too.

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.

I would have agree that Chelsea won't beat Tottenham Hotspur since Tottenham Hotspur is currently fighting to avoid relegation and they are very in need of points but since Chelsea has won Tottenham Hotspur in their last five meetings, and with Tottenham Hotspur poor runs, I think Chelsea would beat Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge this night.

[Ruttoshi]

Bournemouth takes the lead as Manchester City will be playing to equalize the goal to keep them back on the title race. If Manchester wants to continue the fight for the title till the final day, they need to win this game.

Kroupi goal on the 40th minutes separates both side as Bournemouth is currently one point behind Liverpool if the game ends in their favor. The home side are on a 1-0 lead.

They didn't felt threaten but you guys refused to admit that Arsenal cheated in the game. There were some things that Arsenal players did that was supposed to be foul but the fear of been attack as someone that stop Arsenal from winning the League didn't let him do his job or is it that you guys also paid him like some people do? I want Arsenal to win the league but I will not close my eye from not saying the truth if Arsenal cheat their way to the final.

Everything is going smoothly for Arsenal, there is no barrier but that last game with Crystal Palace is going to be like a final match. I want Arsenal should focus on that game than expect Manchester City to lose or draw Bournemouth. Although, they are leading with 1 goal, if Manchester City equalize hope will be lost but if they lose this match, then congratulations in Arsenal in advance because the last match will not be important again as they have won the league.

City facing an inform Bournemouth side that is equally chasing for some European action have everything to play for in this game, and looking at how difficult Citeh is finding it difficult to breakdown the home side, am sorry to say but the best result today could be a draw and that will confirm Arsenal has champions.. unless a miracle of a comeback happens !

Let me see what a $10 on City can get me  1000 odds maybe

Well, let's not forget that Manchester City is managed by Pep Guardiola who we all know has all the tactical strength to force a comeback in the second half. Bournemouth are trying to make sure they qualify for the UCL next season so o expect them to come into the second half with a the mentality of protecting their win. Arsenal players will be hoping Manchester City fails to win tonight and I honestly hope it happens for them.

The first half of the match was kind of interesting, Bournemouth surprised me in the first half of the match, they are already ahead of Manchester city with a goal, seriously am impressed with their performance. With the Bournemouth played  in the first half of the match, it’s just going to be difficult for Manchester city to score them in the second half of the match. Bournemouth main target will be how they going to defend the goal which they just scored in the first half of the match, and I don’t know if Manchester city will be able to break their defense with the way they played in the first half of the match. If Manchester city cant win today, then there is nothing left for Manchester city.

Kroupi goal on the 40th minutes separates both side as Bournemouth is currently one point behind Liverpool if the game ends in their favor. The home side are on a 1-0 lead.

In this second half they have to give it their all, they can't be left holding the bag at City, I mean they're letting Arsenal become the undisputed Premier League champions. Right now Haaland has to go all out, in my opinion he hasn't done anything, just run and run and doesn't finish. I think Haaland needs to step up and save his team now, I think the City players are a bit bewildered.

How do you expect Haaland to perform now that all teams.are ready to prove themselves in the pitch of play.  The Premier League is one League that always has unexpected or unpredictable results especially at the closing time of the league, from the beginning of the game you  will see that the Bournemouth side have built a solid defence line capable of absorbing any kind of preasure without shacking that is why all Haaland's effort will be difficult to come to manifestation know matter how hard he tries. if it is for him to show off in this game that is what I can't say wholeheartedly.

It's like Man City in the second half will still struggle which eventually let Arsenal win this season easily without struggling again in the last match.

Bournemouth also has the same goal if they win, they can get a ticket to the champion league or Europe because there is still one match left, on the other hand Bournemouth is an underdog team that is difficult to overthrow, therefore I predict that in the second half Man City will be completely helpless even though they have exerted their abilities.

The second half has already started, starting with Bournemouth looking like a much better side with their lead. Now their players are playing well, confidence has already increased, and they can hold things for the rest of the 40 minutes.

Manchester City is also trying their best, but still they are not able to have anything against the host club, as the game is going to look like Bournemouth is going to be able to stay undefeated because their defense is working well for restricting Manchester City.

In another game, Chelsea takes an early lead against Tottenham after 30 minutes of game; the score is 1-0 in favour of Chelsea, which is now at 8th spot in the league table.

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.

Both matches have started and the home teams a leading by one goal. Bournemouth is playing a very good game and they really want to secure victory in this game, but they must hold their defense strongly to achieve it. If Manchester City lose this game to Arsenal will be crowned as the premier league champions today. Arsenal fans will be praying right now and honestly I don't want Manchester City to even draw this game so that Arsenal can officially become the champions today.

I think Haaland needs to step up and save his team now, I think the City players are a bit bewildered.

The highest Manchester City can do is to get an equalizer and that wouldn't be enough to stop Arsenal from winning the trophy tonight. Manchester City is playing under pressure as they continue to try their possible best to see how they can break the deadlock but Bournemouth defense looks super strong for them to penetrate.

Haaland has been macked out of the game because it's not like he's on the pitch since Bournemouth defenders wouldn't give him any breathing space as they close mack him. It's 78th minutes and the scoreline is still 1-0.

Liverpool will be under pressure now because if they lose their next match, and Bournemouth wins theirs Liverpool wouldn't be in the Champions League next season. Bournemouth will replace them.

Congratulations to Arsenal in advance.

[GIF-JOBS]

It doesn't seem like Man City can win the match, there are less than 10 minutes left and Bournemouth are now leading 1-0, Bournemouth's defense is very strong now, so it is no longer expected that Manchester City can win this match, Manchester City their title fight seems to be over in this match. Now there is no possibility that Manchester City can win the match by 2 goals in this 8 to 10 minute interval.

[Furious 7]

Kroupi goal on the 40th minutes separates both side as Bournemouth is currently one point behind Liverpool if the game ends in their favor. The home side are on a 1-0 lead.

If this lasts until the end, not only Bournemouth can secure their position in the Europa League but Arsenal will also immediately party without having to wait for the match in the last week because their points cannot be overtaken by Manchester City.

This is definitely a surprise for me but indeed seeing Manchester City's performance in this match with the lack of on target in attack even though their dominance is quite good it still won't have an impact.

But there's still time available because we're only 80 minutes in and there's still about 10 minutes left but with them playing like this 3 points seems difficult and we'll probably congratulate Arsenal today.

What a night for the gunners cheering for Bournemouth! I just like the spirit Bournemouth got in with into this game against Manchester City and it's really going to be the most disappointing game for City if they could not get an equaliser and get a win in that game.
Xabi first game and he's already bringing in class into the Chelsea team, can't remember last when the blues won a game in the EPL and it's so unfortunate that Tottenham Hotspur has to be the first to meet Alonso because losing this game to Chelsea further feepen their relegation mark.

[Zoomic]

Manchester City is struggling in the hands of Bournermouth just to get a draw. I said it long ago when the fixtures were remaining about 6 matches. I told people that the problems of Manchester city would be Bournamouth and Aston Villa which is the final day fixture but I was disregarded.

As I type, the clock is ticking speedily towards 90 minutes yet Manchester city is yet to equalize let alone to win. This is what I foresaw before I congratulated Arsenal, the exact day Manchester City drew with Everton.

We can just say it is now over for Manchester city and congratulate Arsenal for making this great history this time around. It is Arteta o'clock and e deserves to reign because he has worked tirelessly for this day.
