Just as predicted, Liverpool will win the league without much struggle this season because Arsenal is not a team to contend for any title, they are what we call title pretenders and not contenders. Manchester City if in form would have put up a better show than this so called Gunners of a team. Arsenal is never a team to put your hopes on.

I have said it before that arsenal is not a consistent team and they can never be in competition with Liverpool for the premier league title because of lack of consistency, arsenal should really work on there self, the match between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal I knew it won't be an easy match for arsenal to win because Nottingham Forest is inform this season and since is there home arsenal winning them will be very difficult, arsenal had more ball possession than Nottingham Forest but they where unable to score this shows that Nottingham Forest has a very strong defense, Liverpool is the owner of this seasons premier League trophy no team can stop them, they won there match yesterday with Newcastle united yesterday scoring 2 goals they also had more ball possession, now Liverpool is gapping arsenal with 13 point meaning that it is now impossible for arsenal to catch up with Liverpool Because the season is already coming to an end, Liverpool is a very consistent team and I trust they won't drop form, Manchester city is trying but arsenal is still very much inform than them this season.

Manchester United has to sack Onana. If it's not happening, they will still see the more mistake from him in the future. They almost lost, but how fortunate they are scoring three goals and all came from set piece. They may becoming the next set piece FC after Arsenal.

The bad thing they got a red card, but consider almost all of Manchester United players are so bad average, and i don't think the red card affect them a lot.

Manchester United so fucking struggle to beat the relegation team. It's obviously they may be unable to beating team stronger than Ipswich.  

I have the same thought. Ten Hag made a very detrimental speculation when he chose to let De Gea go and sign Andre Onana from Inter Milan, and because of that decision Ruben Amorim had to bear its rottenness. Instead of improving, Onana often commits sloppy actions, and just like what happened last night, he actually ran towards the ball, though he know Dorgu could clearly cover the ball, so that miscommunication finally happened. It's a shame that Altay Bayindir is still injured, so he can't be an option to play as a starter at the moment.

I think Liverpool will win the title again. They have a strong squad and I believe they can do it.

With the remaining matches and Liverpool performance still consistently unbeaten, it is clear that we have got the Premier League champion before the season ends. Until now, no team has been able to break the dominance of Arne Slot's troops in the EPL, and the matter of defeat to Nottingham Forest is not a serious problem because if now the two are met again, maybe Liverpool will repay the 1 goal that Nottingham Forest has given.

It's now almost certain that Liverpool is going to win the seasons title. Arsenal playing a draw with Nottm Forest means there are not much improvements on the Arsenal team. They'd likely remain the 2nd though as non other are near to their points. The rest of the position for champions league and Europa League are upto grab. Nottingam Forest surprisingly has kept their consistency and made it hard for big teams to get through but Manchester City and Chelsea seems to be on track to over taking it.

It isn't so hard to predict that at this point. Look at the point gap above all else. It is 13 points now.

Arsenal have already given up on their target obviously. The recent injuries hit them very hard. They can't even score a goal for 2 weeks. This is very serious. 

Arteta desperately tries to defend his team on the 0-0 draw against Forest. He says Liverpool collected less amount of points against them compared to Arsenal. He says this shows who is better. But deep down he also knows Liverpool are the best by far now. 

The 0-0 draw against Forest isn‘t the biggest problem. Don‘t forget that Liverpool lost against Forest at home. As you mentioned the injuries were too much because I think at one point they had to substitute most of their offensive players except for Havertz I think. That was too much for them whereas Liverpool had everyone available most of the time. But again Liverpool immediately punished any inconsistency from those other teams and it became obvious very quickly when Manchester City began to have their crisis that it is either Arsenal playing an outstanding season or no other team would ever have a chance against this years Liverpool.

Let's expect Liverpool to widen their gap once again. I think this may be possible considering the latest news reported Saka may be out till next month, but no exact date given about his return. Arsenal is a toothless club, and they once again bottled the title.

I think they are existing in the PL to always finish as runner up. They will never able to win Premier League title.

On other hand, look at how the current outright showed massive gap between Liverpool and Arsenal. However, we're still quite far away from the end of season, but Liverpool is wiling to lock the title asap.

Liverpool this season is on another level and everyone else is fighting for other places. Arsenal continues to bottles the title. When Wenger was their coach they were always fourth now with Arteta they are always second and i dont see a way they can even get the title in the upcoming seasons. They needed a striker and they didnt get him and this is why the gap is so big

During the wenger era we often call arsenal a top 4 specialist team but when the arteta era came they began to turn into title contenders and runner-up specialists, arteta has managed to improve the ability and also the level of arsenal to be much better than the wenger era, but despite all that, the main weakness possessed by arsenal so far still cannot be overcome by both unai emery and also arteta at this time, namely their poor winning mentality, Arsenal are always at the forefront at the start of the season but every they enter the middle of the season of course they will start to slow down with many problems that occur even when other big teams are slumping like what happened in the 2015/16 season.
What arsenal currently lacks (productive strikers) has actually been continuously spoken by Arteta previously, but in fact they continue absence the transfer market without any attackers they recruit, so I think what is happening now is actually like a punishment for their absence in the transfer market.

I think I like Arteta for this selfless act to always defend his players on the media, despite when they fail to produce a good result. He prefers to take the blame on himself instead, which I don't think every manager can do. But, the truth is, not everyone player on that team deserves to where the Arsenal jersey. Arsenal have become a dumping ground for rejected players, or players that can't even offer a 100% in almost every game.

And one thing I have noticed about Arteta, that I don't like, is that he likes making useless comparison. Just because he was able to get 4 points from Forest, he thinks his team is better than Liverpool that only managed to get 1. Liverpool have had just one loss this season, which is a very good record compared to Arsenal that has had 3. Maybe he doesn't even know about that.

Well, it seems he isn't bothered much that he's going to end the season without a trophy, moreover, the Arsenal board barely sacks managers, so his job is very much intact. I only feel sorry for the fans at this point.

Let's assume Bukayo Saka returns to full fitness today, dl you think that'll automatically make Arsenal a strong favorite for the English Premier League title this season? Arsenal were very much in the title race before losing five points in their last two league games which have now put them 13 points behind league leaders Liverpool. Though Arsenal have played one game lesser than Liverpool, I still don't see Mikel Arteta's men catching up with Liverpool tho season no matter who returns to the club and that's because Liverpool on the other hand doesn't look like a team that's ready to drop points in the coming games

Everyone has an opinion like this because Liverpool has a considerable difference with the team in second place in the standings, but the journey is still far away and there are still many matches that have not been passed there is still a possibility that Liverpool will be conquered in the future matches, I am very proud that the Arne Slot can get its first victory with Liverpool this season but the more difficult league will be more difficult because the ambition of other teams is also the most difficult for Liverpool and they continue to be better.

With Arsenal's current form, what should be the reason for Arteta to be sacked? Unless he himself gave the trophy target and he failed to get it this season. Arteta has shaped Arsenal into a strong team, some people say that Arsenal's lack is a very dangerous striker. If Arteta is given a striker like Haaland or Mbappe, I am sure Arsenal can play very mentally damaging to their opponents.
Arsenal getting 4 points from Forest is a fact. In the context of the match against Forest, Arteta is not lying. Arsenal are better.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Sacking Arteta? Now these rumours are out just as sacking Guardiola lately?    None of them sounds realistic. It'd be meaningless to sack these coaches.

They will sack them for what? When Arteta took over at Arsenal they were in huge trouble. He saved this club from the swamp they were in. He made this club be more competitive. Maybe still no PL title but anyway.

As for Guardiola, he has won many trophies with Manchester City. Including a Champions League trophy. Clubs shouldn't axe their coaches this easy.

After watching this great performance against Newcastle, I have no doubts that Liverpool will win the Premier League title this season. As the end of the season approaches, Liverpool will only have to look for consistent performances in the upcoming matches. If they can perform consistently, they can win the Premier League title with a big margin of points against the second placed team in the points table.

Liverpool team is in great form. For a long time we have been seeing consistent performance  of Liverpool players. We thought that Arsenal might be able to reduce the gap with Liverpool. But Arsenal team has fallen behind again after losing points in the last two matches. Arsenal team is now 13 points behind Liverpool.

Liverpool will not have any problem to dominate the Premier league. Liverpool will win the Premier  league title quite easily. With the help of Arne Slot, Liverpool is very strong this season. Arne Slot will now exert his maximum energy to do well in the Champions League. Now Arne Slot's main target is the Champions League.

Don't you know the fact that if Arsenal is always tie to the Saka? Once he missed the game, then Arsenal is nothing than a bunch of guys who being so clueless. Arsenal is absolutely terrible without him, not many big chances created, unable to break the line, and many more.

I think it's has been mentioned so many times about how Arsenal's attack always flanking from Saka's side. If you're regularly watching PL, you must know this cuz it's a basic thing about Arsenal.

Arsenal is Saka FC.

Mikel Arteta has made Arsenal stronger than before, but unfortunately, there is one thing he doesn't have, that is the champion mentality, therefore whoever the competitor is in each season (be it Man City or Liverpool), Arsenal has always been under their shadow, and they always ran out of energy when the season was coming to an end. I think Arsenal need that factor because they haven't won a trophy for too long, and for that they need the right manager with strong character. If that is taken into consideration, so it's reasonable if Arsenal needs a new manager to replace Arteta (but the change should not be made while the season is still ongoing).

Just as predicted, Liverpool will win the league without much struggle this season because Arsenal is not a team to contend for any title, they are what we call title pretenders and not contenders. Manchester City if in form would have put up a better show than this so called Gunners of a team. Arsenal is never a team to put your hopes on.

Arsenal and their fans will continue to dream unless they can finally make it happen. Every dream comes through but the dream of Arsenal winning Premier league and champions league is a dream that will eventually come through only when they don't wake up from their sleep. One may not be wrong if you call Arsenal a dream chaser because for as many seasons now they've been chasing the premier league title without having anything to show for it. Even if Liverpool draw all their remaining games, Arsenal will still not win the league because right now they can't even beat any average team. It's funny how Arsenal like to live a fake life deceiving themselves and their fans pretending to be a big club whereas they are supposed to be in the midst of Sheffield Wednesday, Swansea and Norwich.

Arsenal is not showing any consistency towards winning the Premier League title or the Champions League trophy, although, as you said, Arsenal has been chasing the Premier League title for a long time now but is still finding it difficult to get there. Yes, they are dream chasers, and for sure, one day it will happen. Forget the fact that they have been trying for a long time now; it can still happen at any moment as long as they do not give up. However, Arsenal is a big club; you can’t say they pretend to be one, but obviously they are a big club.

Even Leicester City in the 2015/16 season was able to win the EPL title, even though in that season Leicester City was a promotion team, and what was even more painful was that Arsenal was only stuck in second place. Arsenal is a fairly consistent team in every season, they always compete at the top of the standings, but for some reason they find it difficult to win the title, even though they are quite close to winning it.

And moving on to another discussion, today in the last 27th week Leicester City will face West Ham, this match will take place at the London Olympic Stadium which is the home of the Aston Villa club, so of course they are quite favored to be able to win, especially in terms of quality West Ham players are more favored than Leicester City. But on the other hand we also cannot underestimate Ruud Van Nistelrooy's team, they always provide unexpected surprises, especially at this time they are in need of points to be able to get out of the relegation zone.

I think Liverpool will win the title again. They have a strong squad and I believe they can do it.

With the remaining matches and Liverpool performance still consistently unbeaten, it is clear that we have got the Premier League champion before the season ends. Until now, no team has been able to break the dominance of Arne Slot's troops in the EPL, and the matter of defeat to Nottingham Forest is not a serious problem because if now the two are met again, maybe Liverpool will repay the 1 goal that Nottingham Forest has given.

Let us all believe that Liverpool is currently the best team in the world and they are the one winning the Premier League this season, Arsenal started giving up on the title since Saka got injured because Arsenal is the main man of Arsenal, I will keep saying it that even next season Arsenal will not win the League trophy, Arsenal will never win any trophy if Arteta continue to be the team coach, Arteta don't have any excuse to give the fans at this moment because the club has tried their best to sign more players for him and still nothing change.

I will keep blaming Arteta as far as he is Arsenal's coach, Arsenal is one of the best teams in the Premier League that always makes a good sign but they still can't win even the FA Cup, if Arsenal continues like this next season without a good striker then we should consider it that Arsenal will not win any trophy again because the only thing that is making Arsenal suffer like this is a player that can score a goal for them and they don't have and if Arteta keeps trusting Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havatz then it is time for Arsenal to sack him.

But Arsenal team has fallen behind again after losing points in the last two matches. Arsenal team is now 13 points behind Liverpool.

Arne Slot will now exert his maximum energy to do well in the Champions League. Now Arne Slot's main target is the Champions League.

Maybe, I was a little surprised when you just realized Liverpool had a chance to win the trophy after beating Newcastle. Because after all, since the first half of the season I also thought that was very clear that Liverpool would succeed this season, and I also said at that time that Arne Slot would succeed in his first season at Liverpool, of course  it would be an impressive result.

Because for me, the team that can really compete in the trophy race is Manchester City, but because Manchester City has declined this season, of course Liverpool will succeed in maintaining  its top position. Indeed, there is still Arsenal who were previously able to threaten Liverpool but still, Arsenal is still not strong enough to overtake Liverpool.

Therefore, I personally do not hesitate to continue to choose Liverpool in every match played. But even so, I also still believe that Manchester City will still have good results to finish  in the top four. Moreover, Manchester City has also been eliminated  from the Champions League, so ending the season in a better position in the Premier League standings is a  target that must  be achieved.
