Round 37 of Premier League
– 6:30 p.m. May 11: Fulham vs Man City (Live K+Sport1)
The strong 5-1 victory over Wolves last week helped Pep Guardiola and his team put strong pressure on top team Arsenal, because Man City was 1 point behind but played 1 match less. This means that as long as they win the remaining matches, Man City will win the championship, regardless of Arsenal’s results.
Will Erling Haaland and his teammates rain goals against Fulham again like in the first leg?
Because Arsenal plays later this round, if they win at Fulham Stadium, Man City will temporarily take the top spot. With Arsenal’s impressive form, Manchester City is not allowed to make mistakes. Meanwhile, Fulham is 4 points behind the top 10, still hoping to end the season in the top half of the rankings, but they have not won in their last 3 matches. However, this is a difficult goal because their force is only medium-sized.
Fulham have lost 15 consecutive matches against ‘green’ Man. In the first leg, Man City won 5-1 at home.
Man City enters this weekend’s match with full force. Ruben Dias, John Stones and Jeremy Doku could start after being on the bench last week.
Despite playing away, a clear victory is predicted for Man City.
Probable teams:
Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Muniz
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Ake, Guardiol; Rodri, Kovacic; Bernard, Of Bruyne, Foden; Haaland
– 9:00 p.m. May 11: Newcastle vs Brighton
This is an important match to determine 5th place and thereby win tickets to the European Cup next season.
Brighton no longer has the motivation to play in the final stages of the season.
If they win against Brighton, it will help the home team close the gap with Tottenham Hotspur, the team currently ranked 5th. Eddie Howe and his team are currently ranked 6th on the rankings, 4 points behind Spurs but still have 3 matches left.
Newcastle is confident with a 7-match unbeaten streak at St. James’ Park. They are also in impressive scoring form, scoring 23 goals and conceding only 11 goals in that series.
Brighton ended a six-match winless streak with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend. Currently, they are ranked 11th on the Premier League rankings with 47 points.
A series of 7 unbeaten matches at home is a spiritual fulcrum for Newcastle to host Brighton.
The most important thing in the upcoming match: Newcastle still has a clear goal while Brighton does not. This can be the deciding factor in the motivation of both teams. Playing at home and with higher motivation, Newcastle will likely win.
Probable teams:
Newcastle United: Dubravka; Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Anderson; Gordon, Isaac, Barnes
Brighton & Hove Albion: Verbruggen; Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Igor; Gilmour, Gross; Buonanotte, Pedro, Adingra; Welbeck
– 23h30 ngày 11/5: Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea
This match is notable because both are in desperate need of points for their goals.
Chelsea has been making great progress recently. Entering May, Chelsea won two consecutive convincing victories in London derbies. After defeating Tottenham 2-0, Chelsea impressed again by destroying West Ham by 5 unanswered goals last weekend. This result helped them climb to 7th, only 2 points behind Newcastle. From hanging around in the middle of the table, suddenly there is a chance to participate in the European Cup next season
With Newcastle meeting an unpleasant opponent, Brighton, in this round, Chelsea will have a chance to occupy the top 6 if they win against Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham is also desperate for points in the relegation race. With 29 points in two rounds of the tournament, Nottingham is ranked 17th, qualifying for relegation, but cannot climb any higher because it lost 5 points to the 16th team, Brentford, while only 3 points ahead of Luton. .
If they have a point against Chelsea, it can be said that Nottingham will almost survive relegation because this round’s opponent Luton will have to play at a difficult team, West Ham.
