On Sunday, May 21st, 2023, Beijing time, there were many matches in the 37th round of Premier League. After this round of competition, the situation of competing for the championship, the top four and relegation gradually became clear. Arsenal suffered an unexpected defeat in the game, which directly led Manchester City to lock the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule. The match between Liverpool and Villa ended in a draw, while Manchester United won, which means that the Red Army has basically declared itself out of the Champions League next season. In addition, Nottingham Forest unexpectedly defeated Arsenal in the game and successfully relegated one round ahead of schedule; Two of the three teams, Everton, leicester city and Leeds United, will be relegated.
This round of Premier League competition was originally a round that decided the ownership of the champion. As long as Manchester City beat Chelsea at home, it can win the championship ahead of time. But unexpectedly, Arsenal, who took the lead in playing, lost to their opponents in the away game, making Manchester City successfully win the championship. This is the third consecutive year that Manchester City has won the Premier League title, and it is also the second team in the history of the Premier League to complete three consecutive championships, second only to Manchester United. It is worth mentioning that Arsenal stayed at the top of the list for 248 days this season, but in the end it became a foil to Manchester City. This has also become the record of staying at the top of the list for the longest time in the history of the Premier League, but ultimately missing the championship. Although Arsenal performed well this season, they failed to achieve the goal of winning the championship in the end, which also made the fans feel sorry.
In this game, the suspense of championship ownership ended ahead of schedule, and the situation of competing for the top four in the league gradually became clear. Liverpool played Villa at home and barely drew with firmino’s timely goal. At the same time, Manchester United beat Bournemouth 1-0 away and scored an important 3 points. After this round of competition, Liverpool has fallen behind Newcastle and Manchester United by 3 points, while the Magpies and the Red Devils still have one game to play. If the two teams each score another point, then Liverpool will miss the Champions League next season.
The current Premier League has come to an end, and all teams are fighting for the final result. In the competition for the championship, the showdown between Liverpool and Manchester City has been settled, and in terms of relegation, the situation is becoming clear. In this round of competition, Nottingham Forest unexpectedly defeated the powerful Arsenal team. As one of the newly promoted horses this season, Nottingham Forest was originally regarded as a favorite for relegation. However, their performances were not as bright as those of Fulham and Bournemouth. Fulham even broke into the top half of the standings, while Bournemouth managed to avoid relegation in the first two rounds. Fortunately, in the last five rounds, Nottingham Forest performed well, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and successfully relegated one round ahead of schedule.
Southampton are at the bottom of the standings. After losing in the last round, they have become the first team to be relegated this season. While Everton ranked 17th, Leeds United and leicester city ranked 18th and 19th were only three points apart. Although Everton temporarily escaped from the relegation zone by drawing Wolves in the 98th minute, their safe position is not safe. Leeds United and leicester city are still one game short, and considering that the scores of the three teams are close, the victory or defeat of a game can affect the ranking. Predictably, the final round will decide which team will be relegated.
This round of Premier League competition is brilliant, Manchester City successfully defended the Premier League title, while Liverpool basically declared that they missed the Champions League next season. At the same time, Nottingham Forest beat Arsenal to avoid relegation in advance, which also added more suspense to the relegation battle. Thank you for reading this article. I hope you can continue to pay attention to the follow-up development of the Premier League.
