Who’s your pick for this season’s Premier League champion?
The adrenaline is pumping in all teams after the weekend’s 35th round of the Premier League. With only 3 games left for each team, speculation is brewing about who will truly take home this year’s title. Liverpool had been at the top for a long time, but the past month hasn’t been kind to them, and their performance has been slipping. Their Saturday match against West Ham ended in a 2-2 draw, which saw a bit of a tiff between scorer Mo Salah and coach Jürgen Klopp right on the pitch. According to coach Klopp, the matter has been resolved and he doesn’t wish to discuss it further. Salah commented that if he had to talk about it “there would be fire.” Liverpool remains in third place in the EPL table with 75 points.
Sunday witnessed a very dramatic game labeled “The North London Derby”, which Arsenal managed to win by the skin of their teeth. The Gunners led the entire game, even hitting a 3-0 lead against Tottenham, but in the second half, the Spurs woke up and managed to slot two goals against Arsenal. Luckily, the Gunners kept the last part of the match under control and the total score ended at 3-2. Arsenal stays at the top position of the Premier League table with a clean 80 points.
From the get-go, it was kind of clear that Man City would bag this game. But once the match started, it wasn’t immediately the performance we’ve come to expect from City. Nottingham didn’t play badly at all, just failed to capitalize on many chances they had (like if Chris Wood had hit the ball in front of the empty net). Manchester kicked off the scoring with a header from Joško Gvardiol and in the second half, Erling Haaland came back onto the field, injecting the missing zest into the game and leveling the score to 2-0.
Manchester City is in 2nd place in the EPL table with 79 points, right behind Arsenal. They still have 4 games left to play, as they are catching up on matches, giving them a better chance to leap to the top spot. Things are really heating up and it will greatly depend on how the top three leaders of the EPL table manage the upcoming games. Even Liverpool has a chance to climb to the top spot, but it won’t be easy. Have you placed your bet on your Premier League favorite yet?
