LONDON: Arsenal have actually hardly put a foot incorrect in the Premier League in 2024 however, as the title race approaches the goal, they frantically require a favor from Fulham, who host unrelenting Manchester City this weekend. Mikel Arteta’s Gunners, who take a trip to Manchester United, are one point clear at the top of the table with 2 matches to play however Pep Guardiola’s males, most importantly, have a video game in hand. Nottingham Forest will take a big action towards security if they beat in-form Chelsea, who are fighting Newcastle and Manchester United for a European area. Here’s a take a look at 3 talking points ahead of the action. When the 2023/24 component list came out, Sunday’s journey to Manchester United would have appeared a challenging job for Arsenal, however it is not looking that method now. The Gunners, chasing their very first Premier League title for 20 years, are most likely to have actually been removed from the top of the table by the time they start at Old Trafford on Sunday. That is since 2nd positioned City, in the hunt for a historical 4th straight Premier League title, are in action at Fulham the previous day. City are unbeaten versus the London side in 21 video games in all competitors. Toolbox will be positive they can beat a sputtering United group, who appear significantly most likely to lose out on European football next season after their humiliating 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday. City’s video game in hand is next week at Tottenham, where they have never ever even scored an objective in the league, however Spurs’ kind has actually deserted them and Erling Haaland is back to his marauding finest. Toolbox, boasting an exceptional objective distinction, require City to stumble however the indications are not appealing. Newcastle and Chelsea are both making a late-season charge for a European location, assisted by Manchester United’s depression. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle remain in lead to take either a Europa League or UEFA Conference League area, depending upon lead to the last couple of rounds of the Premier League and in the FA Cup last in between Manchester City and Manchester United. They might even end up in 5th area if Tottenham implode even more. Sixth-placed Newcastle, who host Brighton on Saturday, have actually won 5 of their previous 7 league video games. Free-scoring Chelsea were well off the rate simply weeks back, however a run of one defeat in their previous 12 league video games has actually provided hope of restoring a struggling season. Mauricio Pochettino’s males take a trip to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest understanding a win will keep alive their hopes of a European area. Nottingham Forest discovered today that an appeal versus their four-point charge for breaching Premier League monetary guidelines had actually been not successful, however they are still near to protecting top-flight security. If Forest much better Luton’s outcome versus West Ham they will be on the verge of protecting a 3rd straight year in the top-flight. It has actually been a rollercoaster season for Forest, who were charged with inappropriate conduct by the Football Association previously this month after the club slammed VAR Stuart Attwell on social networks following their defeat to Everton. Forest employer Nuno Espirito Santo stated he had actually “currently proceeded” after the unsuccessful appeal over their points reduction. They are favorites to prevent the drop however if outcomes break them this weekend, they might yet deal with a shootout for survival with Burnley on the last weekend.
