Man City is now leading the game against Palace with three goals, though they went down 0-2 at the first half. Happy to see they'er able to comeback with the brilliance of king bruyne. He contributed most in all of City's goals.
They can secure three points as long as bruyne keep show his brilliance in this game. He obviously the only guy who created difference in this game. The problem is that their defend is as bad as usual. It forced them to score as many as they can to overcome their weakness.

That's how you score the fourth goal to make it 4 - 2, the pass from Ederson was cooly taken to meet McAtee who runs from the half way line and dribbles the goal keeper to finally slot it home to give the host a comfortable lead. Manchester City is really enjoying this game as they came back from 2 goals down to make it 4 - 2 and from the look of things and how the game is going, they ain't done yet with Crystal Palace. Seems like they will score one or two more goals before the end of the match.

Yes, Manchester City played well to come back from 2-0 down to Crystal Palace midway through the first half to lead 4-2. And I think Manchester City should have scored more goals, considering there were still about 20 minutes left in the game.

Kevin De Bruyne is a good player and also contributed a lot in this game by scoring one goal and one assist and having a total of six shots, and currently Manchester City are in fourth place in the standings which according to the fourth position is a crucial place because like Chelsea, Newcastle and Aston Villa if they can win their next game they also have a chance to be in fourth place in the standings especially Newcastle who still have one game left.

When a club plays too much and think that the next team will join with the play they are doing they will always see bitterness until they use their own hand to wipe their face and see what seriousness is doing for other the team, so actually Manchester City wasn't that eager for me from the first minute to 30 minutes that's how Crystal Palace started the goals from Eberechi Eze to Chris Richards with total of 2 but Manchester City has finally become serious for ones on this match, so this 4 goals from them now was just because of that, so is a disappointment for Crystal Palace because the wining they thought about the 2 is no more a wining.

It's a perfect pass from Ederson, and surprised me how Mcatee finished it very well. I saw so much potential on Mcatee as long as he will be well developed. So many people blamed him from his awful performance in the first half, but happy to see him turn things around.

It's a tight game for City, and glad a half dead KDB is carrying them alone. One goal and one assist from him revive the hope from his team to win the game.

That's what happens when a team undermines any other team in the Premier League, it seems Manchester City forget that Crystal Palace have sharp attackers like Eze, Sarr and Mateta, it took them until the 20th plus minutes after Palace scored their 2nd goal to realise that they're fighting for top 4 and if they lose against Palace it would give teams like Newcastle or Chelsea more edge to qualify for top 4, anyways it was a lovely come back by Manchester City, that's how a big team is supposed to perform, you don't give up when you concede against smaller teams, you increase the tempo of atrack and defence then press more so as to get opportunities to equalize then win, that's exactly what City players did after realising they've not been performing at their best. Anyways I understand how disappointed Palace players would be but they should understand that Manchester City is far better than them and when you have an opportunity to score two goals ahead of such team you'll have to defend the goals at all cost.

We are feeling the heat of several matches in the Premier League today, one of the most heated matches was the match between Nottingham Forest and Everton. I am already aware that this match has started and at this stage 42 minutes of the match have passed but Notting Forest and Everton are not getting any scoring opportunities. For now considering today's match, I have come to the conclusion that today's game will probably have the highest chance of being a draw. By the way if Nottingham Forest unexpectedly draws today's match, it will put a lot of pressure on them.

[Volgastallion]

Everton again being the team who destroy almost all the bets your put on them?

In the first half of the season you trust them and they were again a shit team like the start of the last seasons, and after the mid of the league they again start to show something and start to collect incredible results like the tie against Arsenal and until now doing the same against Forest.

The way Crystal Palace started it was as if it was over for Manchester City, and look at how everything eventually turned out: they started by giving Manchester City a 2:0 first, and everyone was already convinced that Manchester City had already lost the game until everything turned different because they did not end well. There is more reason why you should be judging the whole game differently: everyone would have concluded that the city lost the game and, from what we saw, that Eze and Mateta are good. Still, the clubs that are beyond what they are imagined to display must have been taken for granted. and just from the 33 minutes of the game, the moment KDB dropped in the first goal, everything became different, and it was raining goals until the game ended, this is to prove a point to Crystal Palace because it would have been a shameful thing if Manchester City lost that match because we did not expect what happened to have happened, so this is one of the reasons I love Manchester City because they are always good at what they do best.

After a long time, we saw a great performance from Manchester City players. Manchester City players played great in this match. The players were very confident. Manchester City team was able to win the match with a margin of 5-2. Although Crystal Palace players scored two goals, we saw the dominance of City players in the match.

City players made a lot of attacks in this match. Despite being 2-0 behind, City won the match 5-2. Today, De Bruyne was at the center of the attack. De Bruyne was able to score a goal and an assist. If Manchester City players can continue their performance, they still have a chance to occupy the fourth place in the table.

It would have been greater if Brighton had not ended my 12 odds slip
I placed over 3.5 for Manchester City and for Aston Villa and Brighton to win
But no Brighton had to draw against Leicester
Well they are both trash (emotion speaking)
But Manchestercity outdone themselves today
It was beautiful, this much goals is what I enjoy about football
And one of the trademark of Manchester City.

Manchester City has recently returned to its old self, as if Marmoush was the name that had the biggest impact on this return.
Crystal Palace started the match wonderfully, they played well and scored two goals and took the lead. Manchester City was able to react quickly with KDB's wonderful free-kick goal.
City finished the first half tied, 2-2, and went to the dressing room like this, and did not give Crystal Palace a chance to play in the second half.

I did say it last week after their game with Man United that Manchester City will do everything within their powers to try to qualify for Champions league having them dragging the position with Chelsea, to me Chelsea won't have that spot because I doubt if they will be able to win the remaining of their games, you can trust Manchester City despite their flops this season but not where Chelsea is,  when Chelsea had opportunity to tighten up their spot they drew their game last week.

It was an incredible performance today, up City.

Can't believe the hot favourites Arsenal coming from the Champions League win pumped with the winning aura  couldn't hold on to their lead to put pressure on Liverpool.. who now know that they are more likely to be crowned champions sooner than later...but it was expected that Brentford was never going to be bullied to concede defeat and result is fair for both teams .


On the bright side it was nice to see Rice in the mix of providing the goal, lad is proving to be a real baller 

[pawel7777]

Great start by Crystal Palace. They were leading 2-0 at Etihad Stadium after 21 minutes, and it could've been a 3-0 if the goal had not been disallowed because of the offside. Their joy wasn't long-lasting though. Man City wasn't having it, they pushed harder and the game ended with 5-2.

Arsenal lost points to Brentford, but they still gained an extra point advantage over Nottm Forest, who got stunned by Everton and lost 0-1 at home.

With Man City and Aston Villa winning their games and (at least temporarily) jumping to positions 4th and 5th respectively, there's extra pressure on Chelsea and Newcastle to win their games to go back to the Champions League places. Chelsea shouldn't have much problem winning at home with Ipswich tomorrow, but Newcastle have a tougher challenge as they're playing against Man United, who are a bit unpredictable and anything can happen.

Which pressure did Arsenal need to put on Liverpool again? They can’t win the Premier League this season again and it’s simple.

Liverpool can’t loose all their matches for Arsenal to lead them this season, they have already given Arsenal the points gap they need to ease their pressure while lifting the Premier League title, they don’t see Arsenal as tight contenders of the Premier League title again this season because they know that they have already secure the title since Arsenal lose points due to injuries.

Liverpool deserve the Premier League title this season, they have contested for almost all the competitions and cups this season, and they were string contenders in all of the competitions, but they failed in all of them except the Premier League which was due to how frequent Arsenal top starts do get injured for long; now they can’t afford to lose the EPL title which is why they will do their best to secure it, therefore, even if Arsenal win their last two Premier League games, they can’t still win the Premier League.

Some good games tomorrow, we could probably make some good money from them. Chelsea vs Ipswhich (chelsea), Spurs vs Wolves (Spurs), Liverpool vs West Ham (LFC), Newcastle vs United (Newcastle). These all look like games that should be easier to handle, not entirely sure if we would get a good win out of this but I am going to bet on them anyways.

I am just waiting for todays games to end, so that if I could win todays parlay, then I would be able to bet more for tomorrow, but if I lose todays parlay then I am not going to put much into it. That is the difference between putting twenty bucks on a bet versus putting hundred bucks on a bet, and if you go two days in a row winning, you turn twenty bucks into three or four hundred bucks.

 Arsenal knows they'll not be winning the league title and are very much safe in finishing the season in the top four and that's why they're now prioritizing the UCL ahead of league games

Arsenal isn't fine at the point chasing thing, in the previous seasons they were only 2 points behind City and didn't catch up, what more 10 points. Between their 3:0 win against Madrid was a legendary achievement for EPL as it contributed to the extra slot added for champions league qualifiers. If the Gunners win the UCL, it'll be a bigger achievement for them than topping premier league table. Arteta only need consistent hardwork to attain the milestone that's looking at his club.

[EL MOHA]

Like it was very surprising to see that Arsenal failed to beat Brentford today despite delivering their best performance of the season earlier this week when they faced Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League competition. I know they were trying to save the players energy ahead of the second leg of their UCL quarter final tie which will be played in the Spanish capital next week but I still think they should've performed better than what we saw today.  Arsenal knows they'll not be winning the league title and are very much safe in finishing the season in the top four and that's why they're now prioritizing the UCL ahead of league games

The premier league is totally different from the champions league and I think they turn up that Arsenal pulls up now in the premier league is not close to what they do in the champions league. I think if you asked Arsenal about which games they will like to win till the end of the season I think they will consider winning the champions league games than winning the premier league games. People say Arsenal are prioritizing the champions league than the premier league and I told them it is not thing of priority but Arsenal has no option left than to face something that there is even a faint of hope of winning.

Arsenal lost to Brentford wasn’t shocking because aside the fatigue i definitely know the players wouldn’t turn out same as against Real Madrid and I was proven right. Hopefully they don’t lower their guard in the second leg of the champions league so they don’t miss their only chance of winning something tangible

This can't be lucky for Manchester City it was a well deserved victory after conceding early 2 goals which I was thinking that at best Manchester City can only fight for a draw but they outperformed my anticipation. KDB as they call him is a wonder player and his support to Manchester City victories in comeback games as this one of today can't be numbered. They are now increasing their hopes of a champions league spot and this is beautiful.

The idea is to trade wisely. You already have a relentless team 9-11 points ahead of you with only a few matches to go, so you need to ask yourself: will you go for the race with 9 matches left, where there are no guarantees of winning the trophy? Or will you go for the one with about 4 matches, where there’s a guarantee that if you perform well, the trophy is yours? I’m sure I know what everybody would choose. Ideally, Arsenal are only 4 games away from winning the Champions League, which is still very much within reach
