GWT: EPL - Matchweek 35

[bluesfan94]

Starting this early because I have a busy week of work.

Only four more matchweeks left! The MW starts off with, what must be said, a relegation six pointer, as Chelsea head south to Bournemouth. Meanwhile, we get a London derby, with Spurs hosting the Eagles. The battle for Europe on Saturday also features a newer West Midlands derby, with Wolverhampton hosting Villa, while Liverpool will take on Brentford in an intriguing and potentially meaningful matchup, depending on what happens in the midweek. Sunday features a must-win game for Arsenal if they want to keep pressure on City, as the Gunners go to Tyneside to play the Magpies. Another relegation six pointer wraps up the matchweek, with Southampton needing to win at Nottingham to have a hope of survival.

Bournemouth	Chelsea	Sat., May 6, 9:00 AM	Vitality Stadium
Manchester City	Leeds United	Sat., May 6, 9:00 AM	The Etihad
Wolverhampton Wanderers	Aston Villa	Sat., May 6, 9:00 AM	Molineux Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur	Crystal Palace	Sat., May 6, 9:00 AM	Tottenham Stadium

The MW starts off with, what must be said, a relegation six pointer, as Chelsea head south to Bournemouth

More on this: If, somehow, City loses its next two matches, Bournemouth and Arsenal beat Chelsea, Wolves beats Villa, West Ham beats United, and Leicester and Forest both win, then the table is:

12. Bournemouth (42)
13. Wolves (40)
14/15. Chelsea (39; at best -7); West Ham (39; at worst -8)
16. Leicester (33)
17. Leeds (33)
18. Forest (33)

Chelsea would have a game in hand, but would only be 6 points clear with 3 matches left (4 for Chelsea). Chelsea's last 4 matches are Forest, City, United, Newcastle, so not exactly easy matches. It's too soon to be serious about Chelsea as a relegation contender, but it's not outside the realm of possibility just yet.

This is where Arsenal definetely loses the title.

Nah I still believe.

f***ing finally. Win or lose at least we'll get some effort today.

Sterling, Pulisic, Ziyech, and Felix should be dropped right off the squad though.

Bet the over



....I should have thought of this, so I stole it

"Best Royal in London today!"

 

[luiginb]

I don't know how Big Sam is planning to save Leeds by playing Junior Firpo at LCB.

Madueke showing more positive intent in 5 minutes than Sterling has in his last 5 games.

f***ing brilliant pass by Madueke to Gallagher and then Gallagher to Havertz, and Havertz runs right by it.

 

[Blender]

GALLAGHER!

A yellow for simulation for slipping on wet grass? He didn't even try and claim he was fouled.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Ilkay with a vintage finish.

 

[Blender]

That was too easy, but what a shot by Vina.

 

[Peen]

Ngolo takes a yellow up the pitch to stop a counter just to not track back 30s later

Ngolo takes a yellow up the pitch to stop a counter just to not track back 30s later

He and Enzo got overrun there, Thiago pushed way too high to try and make up for it, and left his man wide open to run behind. Shambolic defending.

 

[robertmac43]

Everything City does looks so dangerous and I hate it.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Barca bound

 

[hatterson]

That was basically the same as the first City goal

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Spurs look much improved under Mason.

 

[Blender]

Madueke looking really good.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Haaland was wasteful upfront, Alvarez was incredibly bad. KDB was nothing special.

Yet City are 2-0 and have looked great, and comfortable throughout the 47 mins. Insane how deep this team is. Only way they dont win everything is if Pep outfoxes himself.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Harry Kane is sex.

 

[luiginb]

Yeah Haaland being generous against his hometown team haha

 

[Blender]

Mudryk-Gallagher-Madueke should be a staple across the front to finish the season.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I can't believe Chelsea are tied for 3rd best in goals allowed.
