The 36th round of the Premier League, the third to last round, will be held as scheduled on the weekend. Manchester City and Nottingham Forest both face relegated teams, while Chelsea and Newcastle ushered in a strong dialogue. I believe that many changes will occur in the "fight for the five-year situation". CCTV will live broadcast the two games of Manchester's two heroes, so fans and friends should not miss it.
At 10 pm on Saturday, Manchester City will challenge Southampton away and will be broadcast on CCTV5. Currently, Manchester City ranks third in the Premier League with 64 points, and Southampton ranks at the bottom and has long been relegated. Based on all competitions, Manchester City has won five consecutive victories, and has reached the FA Cup final, which has obviously escaped the downturn in the middle of the season.
From the perspective of the standings, Newcastle, which ranked fourth and fifth, and Chelsea, which ranked sixth, had 64 points, Nottingham Forest, which ranked sixth, had 61 points, and Aston Villa, who ranked seventh, had 60 points. Even if Villa wins a complete victory, he only has 69 points, while Chelsea will face two direct competitors, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Therefore, it can be calculated that the points in the sixth place in the Premier League cannot reach 70 points, and can only reach 69 points at most.
Therefore, as long as Manchester City wins two more games, it is enough to ensure the qualification to participate in the Champions League. Guardiola has confirmed that surpassing Arsenal to win the runner-up is not the team's goal. The FA Cup championship and the Champions League qualification are the tasks of this season. In addition to Southampton, Manchester City also has two opponents, Bournemouth and Fulham, and it shouldn't be too difficult to score six points in three games, right?
At 9:15 pm on Sunday, Manchester United played against West Ham at home and was scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV5+ channel. Currently, Manchester United ranks 15th in 39 points, and West Ham is 2 points behind, ranking 17th. Obviously, the two teams have no goals in the league, and giving new players more opportunities to play is a more realistic consideration.
Manchester United just defeated Bilbao and entered the UEFA Cup final. As Amorin said, the Premier League is a place to train newcomers. The UEFA Cup champion and the UEFA Champion are the only task of the team this season. Therefore, Manchester United should continue to do the convention and send more young people to play, and the outcome of the game becomes unpredictable. If Manchester United loses, they may fall to the last place in the relegation zone. I believe that this is an embarrassing situation that the whole team does not want to see.
Return to the Champions League seat battle, similar to Manchester City, Nottingham Forest also faces a relegated team, Leicester City. In the past five rounds of the league, Forest has won 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, giving up the good situation, and its ranking has fallen outside the Champions League zone. However, Nottingham Forest has 70 points in all wins, and the initiative is still in his own hands. Only by constantly scoring three points can he have the opportunity to stage a "life-and-death battle" with Chelsea in the last round.
Aston Villa faces Bournemouth, the two teams are only one different, and the latter still has the opportunity to compete for the UEFA United Nations League qualification. Villa has won 6 games in the past 7 league games, and with the FA Cup and the Champions League, the intensive schedule pressure is gone. However, as in the above analysis, even if Villa wins completely, he may not be able to enter the Champions League, and the initiative is no longer in his own hands.
Newcastle's home match against Chelsea is a key game for "fighting for five". The two teams have the same points, and the losing side is likely to fall out of the Champions League zone. The draw is also a "lose-lose" situation for both sides. The two teams do not need to win all the games in the last three games. As long as they score 7 points, they are enough to qualify for the Champions League.
Chelsea has just used a lineup of multiple substitutes to easily advance to the European League final, and the final will only be held after the Premier League ends. Therefore, Chelsea's short-term goal is to the last three league games, with opponents being Newcastle, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, which obviously will not be easy at all. It can only be said that a consecutive draw with Brentford and Ipswich a month ago, losing 4 points in two games has caused the current difficult situation.
A few months ago, I believe that Arsenal fans would be thinking about the away game in this round of Liverpool. However, now, perhaps they don’t want to see such a showdown. After Chelsea last round, Arsenal has become the second team to pay tribute to the championship team.
In the last round, Liverpool lost to Chelsea and sent a three-pointer. If this story continues, Arsenal can win away to 70 points, which is the second Premier League team after Liverpool to secure the Champions League qualification. However, what fans are more concerned about is that if they fail to compete for the championship for three consecutive years, will Arsenal still challenge the championship next year?
