It will not be fun if Manchester United don't make it to the Champions League next season and also Chelsea doesn't, it will look like most of the heavy weight Champions of the Premier League are underperforming, only Manchester City and Liverpool still stand out among the rest.
Did you forget to mention Arsenal amongst the top teams of the premier league, or their long time underperformance does not qualify them to be amongst the top teams again? For Chelsea and Manchester United, it is still uncertain about who will make it to the champions league next season because none of the two teams can confidently boast of that confidence now, or at least Manchester United can dream of it happening if they work towards achieving it since they’re more closer to the top four on the table.
Brentford were defeated by Liverpool a few days ago in front of their own public with a score of 4-1. If Liverpool can do it, my prediction is that Manchester City can also do it, although later during the match something different will happen.
Manchester City were obsessed with the unexpected result when they were held to a draw by Chelsea. I think Pep doesn't want what Manchester City received against Chelsea to happen again tonight in the remaining matches (round 18) at the Etihad Stadium.
A draw to a team like Chelsea will not make Manchester City feel retard about their next match which they will be playing against Brentford today. Manchester City last match draw was due to the strategy Chelsea used and was all thanks to their manager. For a team like Brentford, they would have come prepared for a win and if they happen to change their strategy against them to win, they can easily turn things around for themselves and win the match again in their own favour since they have the better coach Pep Guardiola with them.
