It is getting really dirty in the EPL now as many big teams are trying to fight for their various qualifying positions. It's normal to see some unexpected and unappealing occurrences in the EPL because the business managers of the EPL would eventually do all they have to do to make sure some lower teams don't get to qualify for European competitions such as the UCL and the UEL.
BUSINESS AT OLD TRAFFORD!
After United's tremendous win at Villa Park, I already perceived a foul play in their next match which was against Leicester City. United had two qualifying tickets to the next UCL already and it's normal in businesses that such a match against Leicester City could be sold out. United lost the title race a long time ago already and I personally feel that what happened at Old Trafford was going to be a big business, and it happened just like I expected.
I wasn't surprised at all when I saw United's lineup against Leicester City because I knew it would be one of those matches United won't win or rather draw but Leicester City needed the win the most and they bought it.
United had 9 unusual starts against Leicester City, even though there were some experienced players in the the lineup, the attacks United played was quite so shallow, having Greenwood top striking wasn't an issue for me but having Diallo and Elanga as his supporters was just too light for that very match, and then I knew the match had been confirmed a gambled one!
Now I think United feeling and believe there isn't much for them to fight for in the EPL any more and perhaps, Ole (Manchester United's Manager) might have decided to rest all his key players for the UEL final match alone.
With all these occurrences, I am beginning to feel that the finishing outcome of this year's EPL revolves around United. For United to have allowed Leicester City to win at Old Trafford, that giveaway gesture from United brought Leicester City back to third position ahead of Chelsea with with 2 points. Chelsea also had their fair share of the giveaway deal when there trampled upon Manchester City at Etihad many days ago.
On the EPL table, withing the 3rd position and the 6th, there are 9 points differences and it's not even a 9 point in totality, considering the fact that Westham in the 5th position has an outstanding match against Brighton which they are likely to win, and the massive Liverpool who is currently in the 6th position also has two outstanding matches which includes visiting the Old Trafford in few days.
The match coming up between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford in few days, I personally feel and believe the match is going to be another big gamble because it's normal to believe that the EPL board would love to see Liverpool of this season qualify for the UCL and that's definitely going to be a big threat on a team like Leicester City except Chelsea gets to win this current UCL final against Manchester City at Istanbul.
Peradventure Liverpool wins their two outstanding matches, they'll be behind Chelsea with a point and behind Leicester City with 3 points. And Liverpool are likely to win all the matches they have left in the EPL aside from the two outstanding matches. If they do win all their matches right from Old Trafford down to the very last one at Anfield against Crystal Palace, the probability that they would finish being 3rd in the EPL this season is very high for Chelsea would be taking on Leicester in the FA Cup finals and then after some few days take on Leicester City again in the EPL.
I believe It would be difficult to even Chelsea to win the EPL match against Leicester City even though they get to win the FA Cup, but if the EPL match ends a draw, it would be another difficult thing for Leicester City to win their last EPL match for they'll be hosting Tottenham who's also fighting for a place in the next UEL.
ARSENAL KNOCKED CHELSEA FOR UEL HOPES!
It was a terrible experience for Chelsea last night at Stamford Bridge as they couldn't find their way around victory against Arsenal. It would have been more of an assurance for Chelsea if only they had won against Arsenal last night but it seemed Arsenal aren't taking any chances too but to appear in the next UEL competition.
The match last night was more like a match lied to mistakes. The two teams played too carefully but Chelsea attacked more as expected due to their fall in the first 25 minutes. Arsenal made the first terrible mistake, and Kai Havertz couldn't make a good use of the opportunity, and the same table turned around and Chelsea player (Jorginho) also made a terrific mistake through a back pass and the likes of Aubameyang and Smith Rowe did justice to the opportunity and took the lead and Stamford Bridge.
It's the end days of the EPL and just like it has always happened to be tough, this season's toughness seems quite drastic due to the fact that an average team like Westham decided to challenge the bigger boys in the game by wanting to qualify for an European competition, and I strongly believe they'll qualify for the UEL!
The UEL qualifying war in the EPL this season is really a huge and tough one as it includes so many tough teams such as Tottenham, Arsenal, Westham, Liverpool, and Everton. These five teams are waring for a space in the UEL but I feel Liverpool would make it to the UCL at the expense of either Leicester's or Chelsea's fall but then, the war between Westham, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Everton would definitely be one that would last till the very last minute of this year's EPL season but I strongly believe one thing_
Arsenal and Westham would definitely make it to the next UEL competition!
Football these days is really taking a huge turnaround in the European space, and just like Leicester City has refused to fall back to be an average team in the EPL, Westham could also grow to be a beast in the EPL top 7!
