GWT: EPL - Matchweek 36 (Ft. MW 25)

[bluesfan94]

Three weeks left, and a lot to play for. The title race continues on the Sunday, with City traveling to Merseyside to take on the suddenly resurgent Toffees, while Arsenal host the Seagulls immediately after. A City win and Arsenal loss all but wraps up the title. In the relegation battle, Newcastle heads to Elland Road against a Leeds team desperate for points to avoid relegation. Forest then takes on Chelsea in London while Bournemouth, also in London, faces off against Palace, with the Cherries needing one point to guarantee its survival. Meanwhile, a Sunday London derby between West Ham and Brentford could guarantee safety for the Irons. The relegation games conclude on Monday, with Leicester hosting a Liverpool side who could have a chance to usurp their rivals, Man United, for fourth place, depending on United's result at home against Wolves, although United would maintain a game in hand. Liverpool could also go past Newcastle into 3rd, whose game in hand will come in the midweek on Tyneside against Brighton, although that would require likely both a large Liverpool win and Newcastle defeats.

Always loved Wolves. Man.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

3 races still on.
1. Title
2. CL spot
3. Relegation

2. CL spot
3. Relegation

Honestly, all the European spots. As it stands, 1-4 are CL, 5-6 are Europa, and 7 is ECL. But that could change if Man U drop far enough, which is unlikely. Still, battle for 7th is very active.

Stupid PKs again. Oups wrong week.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Stupid PKs again. Oups wrong week.

Is it though?

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Is it though?

People are looking for a simple touch to hit the ground. I don't care if it's a minimal "foul" it defies the purposes of fair play.

I meant is it really the wrong week?

Arsenal lost Saliba and Zinchenko for the rest of the season.

 

[bluesfan94]

Arsenal lost Saliba and Zinchenko for the rest of the season.

Rest of season is a dramatic way of saying three weeks for Zinny. Saliba we basically already knew that. Hopefully Tierney holds up or else we get Xhaka at LB again.

 

[Jussi]

Varane is back but Rashford is out with a leg injury. I wouldn't be surprised if that's been nagging for sometime, he hasn't looked himself for several games.

 

[Savant]

Leeds 1 - 1 Newcastle at halftime. Newcastle are getting Allardyce’d. Leeds could be up but Bamford missed another PK at 1-0. Never looked like he was going to make it. He looks shot

 

[Blender]

Sterling ugh.

Kovacic and Enzo to run on top of each other again, ugh.

 

[hatterson]

Was hoping Leeds could have stollen a victory to put Everton back in the relegation zone.

Maybe Leicester can pull it off instead.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Mason has dropped Dier entirely. Not even on the bench.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Flukey goal by Leeds to level it up, doesn’t help Leeds much out yet but Newcastle/United trying to one up each other to let Liverpool back in the top 4

 

[hatterson]

How the heck does someone get that far on the pitch to confront the manager without anyone reacting?

 

[HajdukSplit]

Leeds seemed way too happy with a draw, I guess their hope is the results go their way this week with all their direct rivals having tough matches and Leeds likely playing two teams with nothing to play for in their last two fixtures (West Ham post Conference League semi) then Spurs at home

A point is a point. And when a relegation team can get a point against one of the better teams in the league this year I think it’s a decent thing to be happy about

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Mason has dropped Dier entirely. Not even on the bench.

Don’t really understand why spurs fans liked him but this is excessive must be a locker room issue

 

[Blender]

Start Sterling and Felix, look lethargic any time the ball gets near them. Shocking.

 

[Blender]

Mendy and Silva made a f***ing mess of that. 1-0 Forest.

 

[Jussi]

Weak header from One Trick Pony.

MANNEQUIN MARTIAL! Great passes from Bruno and finally Antony.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That looks like a pen on Emerson rbh

 

[hatterson]

Weak header from One Trick Pony.

MANNEQUIN MARTIAL! Great passes from Bruno and finally Antony.

Calling it a weak header seems like an insult to weak headers

Really nice unselfish play on the assist though.
