After being humiliated by Crystal Palace at home, Fulham tries to recover its spirit. They need 3 points to shift newcastle and brighten position, they also have target to europan league on next session which means The City place will also be vulnerable to catching them. But in other side, Arsenal won't let Fulham win so easily, this london derby, public want to know who the strong in Capital.

Arsenal are too strong compares to Fullham and they will beat Fullham in this match. Fullham has very low chance or nearly no chance in this match, but Fullham will try because they see chance of improving their rank and join Conference League or Europa League next season. I believe Fullham will try as best as they can but it won't be enough to get any point from Arsenal.

Arsenal also have a target to shift Liverpool position, even if it look impossible, but they still have a chance to reach that position. Now, Liverpool fans hope Fulham can overcome it because the fans want Liverpool crowned champion early.

Arsenal have no opportunity to catch and flip Liverpool in Premier League, they will play remaining matches only for defending their position in top four. Their bigger task and also main focus will be Champions League with two quarter final matches with Real Madrid.

A tough match, made even more difficult when Haaland missed a penalty early in the game, and then City conceded on 21 minutes. But in the second half City played as they should have, 11 shots on goal, 5 on target, to which Bournemouth could not respond, not a single shot.
Marmus also played well, scoring as soon as he came on the field and replaced Haaland, this time Guardiola's substitutions worked well. Before reaching the final City need to beat Nottingham, they lost to them not long ago, they will need to fix that.

I think Nottingham Forest might consider an option of sacrificing FA Cup to focus only on Premier League. They now have 5 points more than Chelsea and their position in top four will be safe for at least two more matches in the league, but the season has 9 remaining matches. Nottingham Forest will need to very concentrate on 9 remaining matches in Premier League to finish in top four or at least with a fifth position.

A third, fourth or fifth position can help Nottingham Forest has a chance of participation in Champions League. It is big dream of their players and their club will get very big monetary reward from Champions League. It will help their club continuing building progress to become a stronger club in coming years. Winning FA Cup won't help them like participating in Champions League.

Arsenal is in the same spot as always i mean all the seasons are the same for them, they start showing something and some people starts to say, "maybe this is Arsenal year" only to in a few bad results and weeks throw all into the bin.

Now they are gonna be out of the Champions League against Real Madrid, and after they are gonna drop some point in the PM so they cant catch the Liverpool at top.

Yeah, it doesn't change for Arsenal. They are the same every season:

• Starting with big goals
• Giving hopes to their fans about a Premier League trophy
• Facing the reality after 

I won't have big expectations from them anymore - unless they do the reinforcements the team needs. Maybe even one action would be enough to play bigger. Bringing a top striker.

I couldn’t agree more. Arsenal have a routine or should I say a pattern that they have developed over the years under Mikel Arteta. They will look like they are going to win the Premier League only to bottle the league at the most crucial moment. Their fans will moan and complain for a while but they will be happy that they finished in the top 4. I think Arsenal problem is that they are focused on finishing ahead of their rivals Tottenham and the likes instead of actually winning the Premier League.

The match will be a tough one for the two teams, but I don’t even think Fulham will be able to get a win against Arsenal in the match, if Arsenal doesn’t win Fulham in the match, the highest which Fulham can get in the match is a draw. I know Arsenal can’t meet up with Liverpool anymore, but they will still do everything possible to keep on winning all their matches, if we can check the two teams performance, Arsenal performance is just better than Fulham, and Arsenal will be playing at home, I don’t really think they will want to even lose a match like this.

Ohhh Bournemouth you lose a gold chance to perform history and take out Manchester City out of the FA cup, when they were winning i think they are gonna win because in his home Bournemouth is quite strong, but somehow Manchester City comeback pretty quick.

In the other hand and thinking more in the Premier League this can be better for Iraola team now they are only gonna focus on the PM.

It was so disappointing how the gave away their nice opportunity to kick Manchester City out tonight. They won first but got a little relaxed in the second half that was why Manchester City was able to equalize and later win the match. To win a big team like Manchester City, the opponent don't have to resort to defending instead they should focus more on attacking and scoring many goals so that even if they concede one goal from Manchester City, they will still have the advantage of the match.

Manchester City moves on to the FA Cup semifinals, but it wasn’t easy. Bournemouth had their chance, and for a moment, it really looked like they might pull it off. But City created so many chances, and eventually, that paid off. O’Riley made a huge impact off the bench with two assists. Now, with no big clubs left, this is City’s best shot at a trophy. Facing Forest won’t be easy, though.

Manchester City fell behind early in this match against Bournemouth and ended the first half with this deficit. However, in the second half, we see that Haaland, one of the best strikers of Manchester City, scored a goal for Manchester City and brought the team back to parity. After Haaland's goal, the game remained level for a long time and Marmoush sealed the victory for Manchester City with another goal in the 63rd minute after a long game. The two stars scored two goals at crucial moments which ensured victory for Manchester City. Due to the victory in this match, Manchester City confirmed the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but whether they can qualify from the semi-finals of the FA Cup to the final is a big question. If their performance in the semi-finals is no better than that, they will likely lose there.

I think Arsenal and Fulham have something in common these days, which they both can't play consistently. They both also only got 2 wins in their last 6 matches. The difference is Fulham got 3 losses, while Arsenal only got one loss. So I think both Arsenal and Fulham really need a win to boost their morale and confidence, but Arsenal have a slight edge because they have the advantage of playing at home.

It will be interesting to see how this match will end and whether Arsenal will be able to distance themselves from Nottingham Forest who will face a tough fight against Man United this time.

Thie will be a very strong game for Arsenal, I don’t think Arsenal can be able to win this game. Football is very hard to predict. I see people saying that Fulham was humiliated by Crystal Palace which I think football games are like that. And it still doesn’t mean Arsenal are going to humiliate Fulham. Fulham will be up for this game. Fulham is a team that is chasing an European place, so they will be up for the challenge, we’ve know Arsenal for always bottling the title just as they have done this year. Arsenal isn’t a team that is know for a tittle run in. I’m expecting Fulham to win against Arsenal or come out with a point.

Forest are returning to the Premier League with a really hard-fought FA Cup win against Brighton. They had to go through penalty shootouts as well to decide the winner. This means we have a quite tired Forest against Manchester United tomorrow...

I mean they have only 2 days to rest. It looks like Amorim is going to be on his lucky day.    But still I don't mean it will be easy. We are talking about the worst shape of the Red Devils this season. Probably they will struggle anyway. I would just prefer BTTS @1.74 for betting.

It was a very strong game for forest against Brighton. Forest have been a very good team this season in all competitions. The players know what they are doing. And I believe they’re trained to play every 3 days, It wouldn’t be easy game for Manchester United. Manchester United on their own haven’t been at their best but I expect Amorim to come up with something similar to the game against Arsenal before the international break. City ground is a very strong difficult place to visit. Nuno Espireto Santo will know what game plan to face his opposition. And they want to make there statement on the champions league place: And I think they will come out Victorious against Manchester United.

I think it is more painful than seeing a team slump like Manchester United. I mean as Arsenal fans we are very happy when our team gets positive results in the first few games. But in the middle of the season their performance drops and their position is replaced by another team who eventually becomes the EPL champion. If this season they finish as second again then it will really disappoint the fans and hurt. I am not saying Arsenal should get first place from Liverpool. But seeing your favorite team in second place for 3 seasons in a row is not something fun.

Arsenal are now consider to be the EPL bottlers because they've failed occasionally to win the EPL title. Do we call it incompetent for the competitive title race or mentality not up to the winning phase? We know how much effort Mikel Arteta put into the system inother to achieve something but at the end of the day, there's lesser outcome and inferior stats for them.

Gunners are competitive again this season but something, more specifically my instincts convey the message of Gunners coming back to Emirates trophyless again. We can not compare Manchester United and Arsenal in the past decades, we know who the bigger club is without mapping out any statistical data.

[Spack17]

Liverpool are playing their final matches to secure the Premier League title officially. But I would have really liked to see them competing in the Champions League still. They said goodbye to the competition really early. 

They won't even be able to do double in a season they have performed great most of the time. It would have been a better goodbye to Salah especially while he is also having one of his best seasons of his career. They say it is still not decided if he will leave but I just remember his official statement to leave the team by the end of the season so...

[Mate2237]

Manchester United and Manchester City were good teams other teams were afraid of to play with but they heroes are falling. Manchester City has not been doing well in this season but Haaland has been a helping leg to the team upon the struggling to survive in this season in Premier League and now he Haaland has an ankle injury and right now he is out from the field indefinitely. And this will affect Manchester City badly.

Tomorrow they are playing with  Manchester City vs Leicester City by 19:45 and I don't think Manchester City can survive this but we can't predict now.

N.Forest beat Manchester United 1-0 today. They play very good team defense, especially in home games when they are ahead.

The same thing happened today, they scored a goal against Manu in the 5th minute and then did not allow Manu to score.

N.Forest is playing very good football with his modest squad. Nuno Espirito Santo has become a manager who has made a name for himself in the Premier League and he is making a name for himself with N.Forest this year.
Forest reached 57 points with this victory and increased the point gap between Chelsea and the fourth place to 8. Nottingham will most likely be in the Champions League next year.

Nottingham Forest has defeated Manchester United again for the second time this season, this has shown that they are a better team compared to Manchester United this season, and at this point, I don’t think Manchester United will make it to the top seven of the Premier League table this season, and if they failed to make it to the top seven, they will be missing out of any European competition next season unless if they win the Europa League this season because the Europa League seems as their main hope this season.

What can we say about this Manchester United’s current situation? Is Amorim not doing his job well? Or the team needed to sell a lot of players against next season?
For me, I think the management should sell some players and sign new players to start another project because this current squad cannot win the team any trophy.

Bukayo Saka is back and he scored one goal to double Arsenal’s lead against Fulham today. Arsenal is able to defeat Fulham after going three matches straight without winning the London derby, and Arsenal has again close some gap to narrowed their points gap to nine points between them and Liverpool; this effort is to stay away from been overtaken by Nottingham Forest, and also to keep making good effort in case Liverpool drops some points.

It was an extraordinary display of determination by Nottingham Forest. Manchester United controlled the game and had more opportunities to score, but we saw a masterclass defense by the hosts. They were able to maximize the few chances they had and ensured that they defended it till the end. With this win, Nottingham has solidified their hold on the third position, which will guarantee a Champions League ticket. While the Red Devils might lose the thirteenth position to Tottenham Hotspur if they win the game against Chelsea on Thursday.  More problems for Ruben Amorim, he might be regretting coming to England.

[Volgastallion]

And there we go, another lose for this Manchester United team under the amorim coaching for this season, is a rollcoaster with always the same end this team, starts to show something and in the next game start again to have the same problems as always.

They have luck because the relegation fight is already setled.

There is no other choice but to stay. Amorim has planned to make big changes in the new season. We just need to be patient to see how big the changes are. The most important thing now is to see how Amorim achieves to help Manchester Uniter win the Europa League title.

[ingiltere]

Arsenal continue to win and try to put pressure on Liverpool. Maybe it's too late for some things, but you have to take into account Liverpool's drop in form. They have lost two different cup games in a row and now it remains to be seen how they will do in the league.
Arsenal also need a win against the threat of Nottingham Forest from below. Merino continues to score goals. And Saka is back with a bang. He scored as soon as he came on. Arsenal fans missed him a lot. Arsenal won't have a goal problem anymore, hopefully.

If I will be honest about the match, Manchester United deserve to win the match, they played better than Nottingham forest in the match, they dominated the match in both the first and second half of the match, I wasn’t really impressed with the way Nottingham forest played today, they were just lucky in the match, Manchester United created some chances in the match, but they were unable to convert those chances into goal. The only luck which Nottingham forest had in the match was that they were able to get an early goal in the game.

Nottingham forest were able to get three points in todays match, they are really struggling to end the season in top 4 which they should be able to achieve, Nottingham forest are maintaining their third position for another week which is really a nice one for them.
