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’s good to see Liverpool finally returning to top level after a season of struggles and Klopp’s departure. We knew Arne Slot had something special but no one expected him to win the league in his first season. It has been a bumpy season for other clubs, I can’t wait for this season to end officially and begin a new chapter and see what it holds.

[WatChe]

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.

Nottingham forest lost a vital opportunity to move to 3rd position on points table. By losing to Brentford, Nottingham forest is now at 6th position and now they have to work hard in rest of 4 games to qualify for the UCL. Brentford is 11th on points table but still they were able to beat one of top team of EPL yesterday that show how unpredictable EPL games are. Nottingham forest have played well in UCL but they have lost 3 of there last 5 games and that is a major setback for there UCL qualification campaign. Still they have 4 more games left and if they really want to play next UCL then they must perform exceptionally well in rest of there games.

[MK-74]

M.City will play Wolverhampton tonight. Wolverhampton is one of the teams on the rise in recent weeks and they are playing really well. Let's see how Wolverhampton will fare against M.City. I think M.City may lose points in this match.

Is this a typo? I'm pretty sure they haven't played in the UCL yet. If we look at their schedule, I think their biggest test will be the last match against Chelsea. But yeah, all of them are difficult games for them now. Some people suspect their thin squad has shown their weakness in the last few games or so. I wonder if they'll fix that by hiring new players. If they do manage to compete in Europe next season, it will be difficult to play both without doing any rotation.

M.City will play Wolverhampton tonight. Wolverhampton is one of the teams on the rise in recent weeks and they are playing really well. Let's see how Wolverhampton will fare against M.City. I think M.City may lose points in this match.

Manchester City is also doing well lately. I doubt they'll lose, but a draw is possible. I don't think they'll let the chance to secure more points for the top 4 slip through.

There are chances one can not afford to miss in life that chance is the one Manchester city has now and Nothingham forest has made it easier for them so I don't think Manchester city can lose any match in the premier again because they want to qualify for champions league next season talk less of losing against Wolverhampton, no matter how strong Wolverhampton is they can not stand Manchester city and Manchester city has picked form lately. I have never seen a team as useless as Nothingham forest, just imagine the point difference when they were at third position and seeing that they are not even at the top four, men it is really crazy, they had another opportunity to assume the position but they threw it away yesterday.

[dezoel]

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.

Changes are essential and no one can stop them many already going around Manchester City is surely going to be had strong comeback in next season with many challenges are waiting for them for title race they have to give their best again.

Liverpool is surely going to be had well organized for next season as well Arsenal is having good form, but their strategy is not helping them for having title race while few other clubs are also having good improvement which is going to increase competition at the top for title race. Many new players are already under radar for these big teams many are already in talk for possible transfers and many are doing their own work for possible change Premier League is going to be had challenges which are surely going to give the best soccer for all fans around the world.

[Just Say]

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.

It is already widely believed that Nottingham Forest's UEFA Champions League tickets are out of reach. You really said it that Nottingham Forest would have been properly competing with second-placed Arsenal a few weeks ago but they are not at that level now. Meanwhile, we see Brentford manager Thomas Frank praising his team for their solid performance, maybe that's what he should have done because his team was able to perform defensively. So now everyone should evaluate that Brentford Football Club is really strong in the defense department. For the time being, it seems that Nottingham Forest coach Nuno Espirito Santo should be more efficient because it is true that his team is weakening in defense.

I really feel bad for this team. I am not a Nottingham Forest fan. But I respect the hard work this team has done this season. None of us imagined before the start of the season that we would see Nottingham Forest in the top 3 of the table. The team was in the top 3 of the table for a long time. After losing several matches in a row recently, Nottingham Forest is now in sixth place in the table.

If Nottingham Forest had not lost against Brentford and Everton in the last few weeks, Nottingham Forest would still be in third place in the table.
However, if they can continue their winning streak in the next four matches, the team still has a small chance of qualifying for the Champions League. Nottingham Forest will play against Crystal Palace, Leicester City, West Ham and Chelsea in the next four matches.

[Distraction]

While getting close to the end of the season let's have a look at current player stats.



46 goal contribution by Salah in 34 matches so far. Just magnificent... Being at the top of the list in top scorers and assists both is amazing. I'm so glad to see that Liverpool has extended his contract.  

By the way he has 56 goal contribution in all tournaments. He is about to break a career record. The current record is 60 in the 17/18 season - with Liverpool again.

[Roseline492]

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.

I have highlighted this statement on black as a very meaningful, understanding it is the first beginning of improvement I have use criticism from people to even achieve something that could not ordinarily be possible to me to do on that period in a short term. So actually if Arne Slot was the kind of coach with anxiety of criticism by now Liverpool would have been nothing now and perhaps we might not be talking about them but what Arne Slot did was to show fact and I like the way he is doing by behaving like a coach without much of ideas but are full of wisdom and ideas we are wishing for a lot of coaches to have. Imagine some said Arne Slot will be no different from ten hag and now I no that they have withdrawn those statements.

I think it's not as hard as imagined after Klopp left, Liverpool with Arne Slot is fine, you could even say Arne Slot continues the legacy left by Klopp for Liverpool. It is proven since Arne Slot became a coach, Liverpool has performed consistently and rarely lost. We can count on our fingers how many times they have suffered defeat, so basically Arne Slot is the most beautiful gift for Liverpool because there are not many clubs that after being left by a great coach can immediately fit in.

[hyudien]

M.City will play Wolverhampton tonight. Wolverhampton is one of the teams on the rise in recent weeks and they are playing really well. Let's see how Wolverhampton will fare against M.City. I think M.City may lose points in this match.

Yes I think their match will be competitive, Wolves come with 6 consecutive wins and what they get is not just because of luck, but on the other hand Man City is also in a ready to fight performance especially their goal is also very clear which is to secure the top 4 so 3 points is a must they get not a draw/lose because if that happens Chelsea and Nottingham can shift their place. So I don't see a defeat for the host today.

[Adiljutt156]

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.

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...

Manchester City football team played very well in the match against Crystal Palace football team and that was totally one sided match because that team did 5 goals in this match which was big achievement by players of that team. Crystal Palace team could do only 2 goals in this match and E. Eze and Richards were the persons who did goals at the start of match but after ,we didn't see goals by that team and we saw goals by Manchester City football team and that team did 5 goals in this match.De Bruyne was a person who did goal at 33 minutes of the match and that was best goal by that player but after that we saw more goals in this match which by different players of that team. Marmoush did goal after 3 minutes and he did goal at 36 minutes of the match and Kovačić did goal at 47 minutes when it was requirement of team.

This talk so good about Salah but not only that, this also makes doesnt look so good the other players of the whole Premier League, how theis only guy can beat you so easily and nobody can be nearby to him.

I congratulate him, he made a extra effort after a few season who wasnt super good like the other ones he had in the past.

Some folks still looking down at Manchester City because of their poor performances this season, whereas they've geared up their performance and are stepping up their games, so on that point, I still don't believe City are gonna take it lightly with Wolverhampton, they're gonna deal with Wolves knowing fully well what and where losing that game will put them on the table, obviously back on the tight corner of the next seasons champions league qualification .

[ILuckyGuyI]

Today there should be no issues for Manchester City. There is an easy home win for them on the horizon.    This season hasn't gone very well for them generally. But at least the ending could be the least-worst.

They can still win the FA Cup trophy also and I believe in them to do so. Combining it with a top 4 finish in the PL would be good for them. After that Guardiola will have a hard work to do. He needs to carry the club to top here again.

[LUCKMCFLY]

and Arsenal which are currently in second position.

Arsenal is a team that has had some very good news, however in the UCL after beating Madrid they grew and that is good, but when they played against PSG well no, I hope they can maintain the 2nd position, in reality the only problem Arsenal has been that they are not consistent, and that is their biggest mistake, Liverpool too, only this time everything went well for them , previously the team that set an example was CITY, but they fell on this bad streak.

[Moreno233]

This should be their hardest match in a long time. Unlike what many people will be thinking that Manchester will flog Wolves with no mercy, a huge surprise awaits everyone tonight because Wolves have gradually grown tough skin when no one was watching. In their last six matches, they have recorded zero draw, zeros loss and all wins, a record that no team in the English Premiership can boast of achieving. I am therefore tempted to give Wolves the winning  tonight.

Pep Guardiola is always know as the only Manger in the Premier League that can go last ten match winning streak, and this season, despite the inconsistency of Manchester City they have taken some winning streak from their last Premier League games, and I think they will continue today because they are almost free from the tension of the top four since they are now comfortable in the fourth position and if they win their match today, they will move to the third position before Newcastle United play their match of the week. However, Wolves should not underrated, they have been winning their last Premier League matches which include match against Tottenham and Manchester United; therefore, Manchester City should be very serious and avoid losing match.

If we look at all the teams in the league about last 5 games, we can see Wolves having the best form. They have a 6-win streak actually and haven't been beaten for 7 weeks.

This amazing form was enough to help them reach a safe position in the standings. They don't have any aim in the league normally. But still Guardiola shouldn't underestimate their recent form. 

I'm still one of the people believing in Manchester City to win but not with a big gap. Like 1-0, 2-1 or so.
