So finally Liverpool is back again in the top.
What a superb year after the farewell of Kloop.

This year it has been easier for them after the terrible start of Manchester City.
Arsenal and Newcaslte proven that they are not there yet, Liverpool is in another category.

My hope is for Nottm Forest, for the underdog in CL!

It is a successful season for Liverpool because Manchester City is not in good form and Arsenal suffer injuries.

I am saying that Arne Slot and Liverpool players didn’t deserve the victory, but if Arsenal is in the same shape they were last season when they fight for the league title till the final day, I don’t think Liverpool will win it ahead of them, but their key players keep getting injured and they don’t also have a striker that is reliable.

For Newcastle United, they need to attain some level before they can fight for the EPL title, but since they are able to win the Carabao Cup, they tried more than Arsenal if Arsenal end up
The season without a single trophy.

I will also hope to see Nottingham Forest play in the Champions League next season, they really deserve it after a good season they have played.

Manchester City did not start the season well, Liverpool was left without an opponent, they were able to advance on their own towards the championship, they were quite comfortable when there was no one coming from behind. Arsenal is a team with ups and downs, they still need to work hard to get to first place in the EPL, I believe that Arsenal is making progress and maybe they will see the top in a few years.

Liverpool has earned a well-deserved success.

Saying Manchester city doesn't start well this season is not true because if they didn't start well they won't have been among the top 4 after losing so many matches as a matter of fact it was there good performance when season starts that makes them to be where they are now, just imagine after so many loss, some team where not still able to top them because of the advantage of winning when the league started and when league started at some point in time they were leading the premier league table before they faced some challenges and trials. Arsenal really need to improve and they also have to learn more because over 4-5 years now they have been topping the league but yet they won't win it and it is beginning to look as if they are cursed.

Saying Manchester city doesn't start well this season is not true because if they didn't start well they won't have been among the top 4 ...

Manchester City started normally but failed later on. This is the summary of their journey so far. They started to struggle at some point and couldn't find a way out for a long while.

Guardiola looks like he knows what he is doing recently at least.    The results have got better. They are the number 1 contender for the FA Cup trophy now. I don't doubt they'll lift it.

Another thing I don't doubt is their finishing the PL in top 5 to join the CL.

It helps that the club buys players that he needs. I don't remember where I read this, I kinda agree that the problem with City is just the aging squad and the failure to predict injuries to key players, hence why losing Rodri, Stones, or De Bruyne at the same time affects them that much. It's just a cycle that each club has to go through, especially with the number of competitions they compete in and Guardiola's possession-based style, which demands a lot of running from his players.

The real challenge is whether City can stay as competitive as they are when Guardiola leaves. They need to have a good transition like Liverpool did after Klopp leaves. Judging from their transfer activity, I think they have a great chance to be competitive next season. CMIIW.

Crystal Palace can also win that trophy try not to underestimate them during  the finals but seeing the news of Erling Haaland and Rodri back with the squad training is a big boost for them ahead of the last four games and a chance to win the Fa Cup trophy they missed out on last season. Pep Guardiola will always stand out he has done well for this club. I knew city will do all they can to win the Fa Cup after they defeat Nottingham Forest over the weekend.

Yes, you are absolutely right because at some point even a weak team puts pressure on a strong team due to which it will become difficult for the opposing team to play, which is why Crystal's strength is that we have to remember that they can play with hard work. This will happen only when they win their matches with hard work and struggle and we will see a chance that they will be able to win, otherwise we can make the kind of assessment that you are talking about. This is what is remembered, but at this time it is needed, if they do not play well now, they will become weak and helpless, which they will not be known for in good words. Yep it was clear because Nottingham strength is at the end at this time which is why it is not even commendable to consider them so strong.

[Marvell1]

You are right. Despite having a mediocre squad, Nottingham Forest have played well in the Premier League this season. Maybe they will try to strengthen their squad next season if they can qualify for the Champions League. Nottingham Forest's attack is quite weak. Nottingham needs a talented striker now.

Nottingham Forest's performance has been quite stable since the beginning of the season. However, it is not certain whether this team will be able to qualify for the Champions League. The fight for Champions League qualification has become more intense. Chelsea and Manchester City have made comebacks. Newcastle are also in good form. So if Nottingham Forest cannot continue their winning streak, it will be impossible to qualify for the Champions League.

The worst scenario is that Liverpool win PL, then City win FA trophy. In the end, Arsenal always remain empty hand at the end of season. That's gonna be unbelievable moment when we will see Arsenal once again being bantered as a trophyless club.
I know Arsenal is advanced to the semi-final of UCL, but have very low chance to win. I'm already imagined how they once again being mocked by their rivals.

I don’t know why some people are thinking Arsenal will be winning the champions league title this season, I don’t even think Arsenal will be making it to final. What’s really annoying me right now is that Arsenal fans are already everywhere claiming they going to be winning the champions league this season, I don’t really know how Arsenal will be winning PSG in the semi final, and how they will win either Barcelona or inter Milan in final? Am not concluding yet that Arsenal will end up not winning any trophy this season, but from the way Arsenal is playing, and other teams in champions league, I don’t think Arsenal will be able to win the champions league this season.

It most probably they're Arsenal fans. Logically, it sounds non-sense when you're favoring them when we still have Barcelona and Intermilan. PSG is also having the same chance as big as Arsenal to win UCL, but prefer to put Barcelona in the first place. That's why i think people are starting lose their logic.
Even the odds is also telling us about how Barcelona is topping as a potential winner of UCL. That's why i'm in favor Barcelona in winning the competition. Importantly, Barcelona is also being coached by Flick, and they at peak.

Eventhough Arsenal is the only PL club remain at PL, but history tells us PL is not a league who have most of UCL trophies.

well there is no doubt about the fact that PSG is really on a good form this season, I believe that's the reason why you think it is beyond the bounds of possibilities for arsenal to win them.when Arsenal was playing against Madrid so many have this kind of concentration but at the end of the day, the results were far from what they were anticipating.I believe this season Arsenal is going to break a record by winning the champions League, because they are in good form and there defence is really great.

Yes if you look at PSG's record, you can see their strength and their struggle and their record has 2 defeats and a draw and a long good streak of wins which is a good sign of their success. If they keep themselves busy playing wrongly they will actually lose. They should play well and not weaken themselves. This match was a strong and quite difficult one due to which there is a difference between the strength of both of them and the strength of other teams. In the battle between Arsenal and Real Madrid, there is a difference in points and position and there is a difference in their strength and league performance between PSG and other teams due to which it is difficult to decide. This is very good to say because Arsenal is really working hard and is becoming stronger in this league and leaving everyone behind.

Manchester City destroyed Crystal Palace by 5-2. It happened this month.    Therefore I don't have much worries about Guardiola's side.

Yeah maybe you will say it might be different in the FA Cup as Crystal Palace play much differently. There is truth in it considering how they beat Aston Villa. But still I don't expect Guardiola to waste his only opportunity to finish the season with a trophy. If you have noticed they are playing much better than earlier. There is some progress at least. But this is still a poor season for Manchester City of course. Compared to previous seasons, they are really a mess now...

[WatChe]

Klopp could be remembered for years for his hard work and dedication for Liverpool even I feel he is one of the unluckiest coaches but still he has done amazing stuff for this club and after his farewell now they are having another title.

Arsenal was usual to have no depth for win trophy while Manchester City face worst results which hurt them in middle of the season, and they have never been able to overcome from their problems which give them setback even they were on verge of losing their spot for Champions League.

Newcastle United having some improvement, but they are far away from winning trophy here because it's Premier League; now fight for few spots are wide open and many teams are trying to give their best which is making this season more interesting and competitive most chances Nottingham Forest will be able to keep their chances for 5th spot and Champions League in next season.

The title race for ongoing season is done and dusted on Apr 27 when Liverpool won it's game against Tottenham. But still there is interest left in EPL as teams are still fighting for qualification of next UEFA champions league. Nottingham forest still has a game left against Brentford that's scheduled on May 1 and Forest need to win that game in order to keep the hopes alive for playing next UCL. Arsenal position is strong but they to win few of there upcoming matches to stay ahead of teams underneath.

The fight for Champions League qualification has become more intense. Chelsea and Manchester City have made comebacks. Newcastle are also in good form. So if Nottingham Forest cannot continue their winning streak, it will be impossible to qualify for the Champions League.

On paper, Nottingham Forest should not have too much difficulty in securing a Champions League ticket, because the majority of their next opponents are average clubs. Of the five remaining matches, only Chelsea can be considered a tough opponent, the rest in my opinion are quite easy to overcome. The next match against Brentford opens up an opportunity for Nottingham Forest to return to the Champions League zone and overtake Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle.

Qualifying for the Champions League clearly brings many benefits, including an increase in club revenue, which can facilitate their efforts to build squad depth. Nottingham Forest currently has the right momentum to make this happen. However, with the increasing intensity of competition as the season draws to a close, things certainly won't be as easy as they seem.

Liverpool easily became Premier League champions this season because Manchester City, who always make it difficult for them, has dropped form this season, they have not performed well from the start of the season, otherwise, the league would not have been so easy for Arne Slot and his team to win in his debut season. Arsenal is the only club with the strength to challenge Liverpool this season, but they are also not ready and want to finish second as usual.

Nottingham Forest had the opportunity to maintain their top league position, but they wasted it by losing an important game. Nottingham Forest has struggled to maintain their position among the top four since they lost a home game against Everton, the match was going to end in a draw before they conceded unnecessary goal in the final minute, and they are now in 6th place with the same point as Chelsea.

It seems you are really underrating Arsenal. Any of these clubs that qualified for the semifinals have an equal chance of being in the finals. Gunners fans have all the right to support their team and predict that they will make it to the finals. Some Barcelona fans in my neighbourhood are also predicting that their club will win the competition. How will you underrate a team that beat Real Madrid both in the home and away games? I think we should just sit back and enjoy the game.

Liverpool were able to win the premier league trophy in their last match which was against Tottenham, no one is fighting for the league title again, it has been won by Liverpool already, but clubs are still fighting for the champions league spot, and for now we don’t really know the team that will be qualifying for the champions league yet. from the way the clubs fighting for the champions league slot are playing currently, before we will know the clubs that will be qualifying for the champions league, then till final match is being played, because the race is really tough, and I don’t even think any of them will want to lose right now.

Yeah that's true the only thing that is remaining in the premier League is for the qualification places so teams that are eyeing the champions League places, and the European and conference league places will have to fight for their places so there is still a high level of competition in the league and not forgetting the battle for relegation is still on so teams will use the remaining matches to get what they want going into the final rounds of games in the coming games
