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.  

Heard the wife and Guardiola are trying to be reasonable on a common ground, perhaps the team will be back in action because you know as they say "a happy home is a happy home". Thank Goodness that Liverpool were able to been in form this season, if the good side of Manchester City should return, it will not be funny as despite this setbacks, Haaland remain top 3 goalscorer with 7 differences from the top, now imagine them doing better in the season.

I don't know for sure how,the FA is going to turn out but they are definitely want to remain in the Champions League next season, 1 points differentiate the between Chelsea and Newcastle but Manchester City and Newcastle are the top teams that aren't playing here, they might really finish well. The only thing I'm not sure is the team unique style of attack with crystal palace, this season hasn't favour Manchester City but probably, things might look different.

The top four is among the best competitive clubs and we've seen Manchester City climbing on with good points. We watch them dominate the EPL previous season but this time, they're weigh out of the picture. Manchester City had a good step up this season but along the line, they fall. The Citizens had a proper chance to compete with Liverpool for the EPL title but what went wrong? Pep Guardiola is still finding his head to wrap his pattern this season, we know how hard they've struggled and not having a good time to win games.

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.

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.

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

The relegation teams have been announced already, moreover they only have 4 legs remaining in the premier league this season so fighting in other to get out of the relegation zone is pointless that's for those teams who are already in the relegation zone, since they failed to battle in the early stage did you think they're going to do that in this die minutes? Though even if they succeeded in wining thier remaining matches I don't think if they can be able to get out of the relegation zone because those teams that escape the relegation zone will always try so hard to maintain their position.

You are right, but right now I think the most important thing is that they are among the top 4 and a chance of them qualifying for champions league next season is higher than the chance of them not qualifying and I think they have decided not to go trohpiless in this season because it won't say well or good of them after wining a lot of trophies back to back since 2015 or..., no matter how crystal will try, I doubt if they can withstand Manchester city in that FA cup finals because Manchester city will be coming with full force and i believe Manchester city will do more better next season, Pep Guardiola is indeed a good coach no doubt.

That's because West ham is 14 points ahead of the top team in the relegation with 14 points, it will take them 4 win matches and 1 draw to reach Westham only if they remain there and refuse to win any matches or draw any matches and we all know that's not possible plus the rest of the matches is just 4 games to be played and what they need is 5 matches to be able to get there, it's not possible even with witches and wizard combine, that's the end here.

Leicester City is what I pity most, one or two seasons they are here in the Premier League and another season, they are back to division 2 to play championship again. This keep happening and it doesn't help the team, they should stop selling players that contribute to their success every time they have a perfect time in the Championship, this through anf fourth they are doing wouldn't win them any major trophy.

Relegated teams are already known, the remaining games are for fancy, and for the fun there is no special remedy to recover from getting relegated, all the teams there performed very badly to want a fight at the last few games remaining to finish the season.

Manchester City underperformed, being among top or qualifying for a spot in the Champions League isn't enough to adjust the truth that they failed to compete as a team defending the title. Same thing happening in La Liga, defending La Liga champions are second in the table because they started having more unsuccessful matches badly performed that resulted to them being in that spot, at least maintain second spot conveniently while Barcelona are ahead but the Premier League case is different, defending team are fighting for a fifth spot to play Champions League next season, what can be said about them?

This time 5 team from EPL will qualify for UCL. Liverpool and upto some extent Arsenal have qualified for UCL but competition for next 3 spots is still going on and as of now we can't say which  3 teams will qualify for UCL. Each team has 4 to 5 games left and although season is already won by Liverpool the matches of team like Nottingham, Newcastle are still interesting because of UCL qualification scenario. I am interested in seeing whether Nottingham will qualify for UCL, they have done exceptionally well in this EPL season and little more effort towards the end of season will take them to UCL.

Because of their hard work and struggle they have succeeded in this league but other teams have not work hard enough due to which they have not been able to succeed in this league. Liverpool will qualify because they have defeat Nottingham which is why they are strong, and for Arsenal it is a big improvement because they have not defeated PSG which is why they have improved a lot so they will qualify. For them it will be a big competition in which these UCL teams will succeed and they should be able to achieve the success of this league. Liverpool has won this season with their hard work which is why Liverpool victory is a shame for other teams. That will be because Nottingham played a match against Liverpool which also shows their performance.

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

The Premier League is now over. Liverpool has confirmed as the EPL champion this season. On the other hand, Ipswich, Southampton, and Leicester have been confirmed to be relegated to the championship division. The remaining competition is the fight for a place in the qualifiers. Apart from Arsenal, 5 other teams are still competing to get a place in the UCL zone and who will play in the UEL. I exclude Arsenal because I think a 5-point advantage over Newcastle is enough to ensure 1 place in the UCL for them. On the other hand, I think Brighton, Fulham and Bournemouth will not be able to get a ticket to the UEL because they are 9 points behind Forest and 6 points behind Aston Villa. Yes, even though they already have champions, the competition for a place in the UCL and UEL qualifiers is still very much worth watching.

The premier league competition is not over yet, we already have the winner of the champions league, and we already know the teams which will be relegated, but we still have some teams that are fighting for the champions league position, so we can’t just say the premier league is over, we still having few matches left to enjoy, and the matches left to enjoy, and the matches left will be tough for teams that are fighting for the champions league, the only teams which have secured the champions league position is Liverpool which is the premier league title winner, and Arsenal which are currently in second position.

The only game today is Forest - Brentford.

I'm all in for Forest here first of all. They already beat their opponent away by 2-0 earlier. No reason for not to repeat it home as well. And this win will be just enough to carry them to the 3rd position. 

Nuno Espírito Santo is at the top of his career. This is way more impressive than winning the Saudi league or a Championship title. Forest would probably extend his contract by at least one year (which is about to end in 2026 for now).

The match between Nottingham Forest VS Brentford has started and is now entering around the thirtieth minute. However, it is still very unfortunate that there are still goals scored by both sides, and only a few opportunities they get. It seems that for the first half, both teams played more carefully.

In my opinion, this is a fairly crucial match for Nottingham Forest, getting three points in this match is very important to be able to maintain the hope that Nottingham Forest can participate in the Champions League next season because at this time their position in the UCL zone is on the brink where Nottingham Forest is in fifth position, with only one point ahead of the team below it.

Even before it became official that Liverpool had won the league, every other teams knew that what they are contesting for is not the premier League title but to either get a place in the champions league or next season or to alternatively end the season at a somewhat comfortable position that's not all that bad. The race for the champions league qualification team is on, the race to go above where most teams stopped at the last season is also going to be on till the end of the season. For the likes of Manchester city that are the defending champions and where knocked out of the champions league, the season is far from over for them. The goal is still very much about at least making it to the champions league which will give them something to lay hold of. Chelsea has her eyes on making it the champions league seeing that they where really good at the early stage of the season.  Arsenal is not left out, and Newcastle is obviously a team that wants to remain possibly at the current position till the end of the table. Untill the end of the season, we've got a lot to look out for.

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.

I feel like we're going to see a different Manchester City next season from what we saw this season. They will be very busy in the transfer market, and Guardiola is more than ready to compete now. They also have Haaland and Rodri back in training,g so they have a lot going well for them. Rodri might even play the final.

What they need is a midfielder to replace De Bruyne, and I think Wirtz can do that, but at the moment, they're not interested in him. The also need more CMs because all of Gundugan, Silva and Kovacic are no longer good enough. Then in attack, I feel like they need better winger that can create chances and score goals. If they can get these players in the summer then they will compete for the league like thyve always done.

Yes, that's absolutely correct, because with Chelsea at 5th place on the table having 60 points, which is same with Nottingham forest, and Manchester City at 4th place having 61 points, and likewise Newcastle United at 3rd place having 62 points, if Nottingham forest could manage to get the whole 3points in tonight's game against Brentford, that will automatically place them 3rd on the table. But judging from the current performance of the first half that  just ended, I doubt if Nottingham forest will be able to win tonight game against Brentford, as Brentford is already taking the lead with 1 goal to nil at half time, despite both clubs having an equal ball possession. But however, let's watch what the second half will turn out to, as I guess this game is likely to end either 1:1 or 2:2 draw.

[Just Say]

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.  

Yes, it's fair that Liverpool's victory in the last match ends this season's title race. But now we see intense competition between the teams in the Premier League, mainly wanting a place of honor next season. For example, they are fighting for a place in the Champions League and are looking to improve further in the Premier League this season. Nottingham Forest were supposed to be in third place now, but due to their uncontrolled performance, they could still be defeated today. Every season we see such a magnificent competition unfold in the Premier League. I'm hoping that maybe next season every team will be busy in the transfer market and add new players.

Yeah Liverpool are already the champions in the English league the premier league title is there own already they have really tried, when they where removed from the champions League I knew nothing will stop them again from lifting the premier league trophy, yeah you are right Just Say what they are fighting for right now in premier League is champions League ticket for next season and for me I'm very sure that Manchester city will get a ticket, I really don't know what happened to Nottingham Forest they have just lost form, before now they where playing very well and they where competing with Arsenal when it comes to second position in the premier league table but right now they are now in number 6 in the table and if they are not careful they will go down more before the end of this season, for today's match Brentford is already winning them 2 goals to nothing I think Nottingham Forest will not get the champions League ticket they have just lost it.

[Ndabagi01]

With the introduction of the conference league, the fight for different spot in the premier league has now become very tough. Liverpool already got the win and they happen to be the team that end the season with the league trophy with some few games left for them to play. The champions league spot is the biggest spot most of the team that still has the chance for it will be aiming for, they will only go for a lesser one if they can’t make it to the champions league. So also, some of them are fighting to get the Europa league spot and will only settle for the conference league if they can’t make it there, so it’s all risky stuff for them all and will make the competition remain of a very high level that every team will be willing to play their best and get the best result from their games.

Yes, that's absolutely correct, because with Chelsea at 5th place on the table having 60 points, which is same with Nottingham forest, and Manchester City at 4th place having 61 points, and likewise Newcastle United at 3rd place having 62 points, if Nottingham forest could manage to get the whole 3points in tonight's game against Brentford, that will automatically place them 3rd on the table.

But however, let's watch what the second half will turn out to, as I guess this game is likely to end either 1:1 or 2:2 draw.

The match has ended, and Nottingham Forest was defeated with two goals. So now, Nottingham Forest has dropped down to sixth position on the table with 60 points, the same as Chelsea's points. However, Chelsea has more goals than Nottingham Forest.With the way things are going for Nottingham Forest, only luck can make them qualify for next season's Champions League. The team's form has dropped.

In today's game, I was not expecting Brentford to beat Nottingham, as it was a Nottingham Forest home game, and they are in a position to qualify for the Champions League. I was thinking they would try to maintain their position. It's bad that Nottingham Forest couldn't even draw the game.Nottingham Forest needs to put in more extra effort; otherwise, they might not even qualify for the Europa League next season. Currently, Aston Villa is very close to them in points. There is just a three-point difference between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, who are seventh on the table.

[Pokapoka124]

They trashed Slot when appointed.

You should know by now that people will always talk whether you do good or bad there must always be something to talk about. I have learnt that the best way to reply critics is to achieve that thing they have challenged you that you cannot achieve, and that is how Arne Slot has shut the mouths of his critics.
