It seems Chelsea really wants to fight to avoid relegation spots in this end of the season. Meanwhile , Arsenal had a majestic night , scored early , won the game and they are still favorites in my opinion to become EPL champions. Also , if somehow City makes a draw today against West Ham or worse than a draw , I think we can assume Arsenal are already champions and lately , West Ham played great football but without having the luck to actually get some points.
Let's say the match between Man City vs West Ham is a draw, the difference is still not too far and there is still 1 game left for Man City. So far, Man City has the most potential to win a trophy. Under whatever conditions and the quality that Pep Guardiola and his squad have, we cannot be blind to the improvements that have taken place. West Ham could have played well but that would mean Man City without Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and several other players absent.
So far, on paper, Man City is still ahead and can definitely win 3 full points, which proves that they have indeed frustrated Arsenal quite a bit.
Draw between Manchester City and West Ham? There is a 99% chance that this will not happen and the cup will most likely be taken by Manchester, not Arsenal. Even today's victory of Arsenal in the match against Chelsea will not affect anything. This only delays the moment of Manchester's triumph. Arsenal screwed up badly to hold their position.
2 games in reserve is a lot, and the opponents in the next matches of Manchester City are far from being the strongest teams, which the townspeople will surely take advantage of and will do everything to win. The title is at arm's length, which they themselves are aware of.
Arsenal were sloppy and gave Chelsea a goal, I think it has become a routine for Arsenal to concede at least a goal even in games they have full domination and last night was no exception, they lost focus as usual and gave Chelsea a good chance and Noni Madueke was smart enough to capitalize on the opportunity to get his first EPL goal for Chelsea.
Playing at home and dominating in a match is very common for Arsenal, especially what Arsenal are facing is a rather weak team this season, namely Chelsea. And conceding one goal also doesn't matter much for Arsenal if their closest rivals can now win all their remaining games this season. Even if Arsenal's closest rivals have lost once again in the remaining matches this season, Arsenal will also not get a championship trophy this season even though they are able to win all the remaining matches.
Chelsea's performance is not a bit weak, but very weak indeed. So naturally, in this match Chelsea was again able to extend its losing streak to date. But yes, with Chelsea being able to score 1 goal against Arsenal, at least it can be a bit of entertainment for them, because it can reduce losses, even though in reality Chelsea still lost by a big score.
Also, even though Chelsea lost, but the statistics show that Chelsea can still provide resistance to Arsenal. But, by losing at half time with a score of 3-0, it is clear that is a depravity that is currently experienced by Chelsea. Also, even though Chelsea still looks to be in the middle of the standings, but if this successive defeat continues, then maybe Chelsea will be very close to the relegation zone or maybe be relegated.
A scored return goal only amuses pride, but doesn't soften the bitterness of defeat. A loss is still a loss.
It will be sad if Chelsea falls below the Premier League. Is it really possible? I can't even imagine it.
