The five major giants in the Premier League took action in the 36th round, and the competition for a seat in the Champions League has reached a fever pitch. The three traditional giants - Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham - collectively failed and didn't even score a goal, all of them lost 0-2. At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal was behind 0-2, chasing 2 goals and 2-2 to tie Premier League champion Liverpool. Arteta stopped the decline in a row. At the same time, Newcastle United defeated Chelsea at home, won 6 consecutive victories, kicked Guardiola's Manchester City away, and made a strong breakthrough into the top three. It is worth mentioning that the Magpies' current team is only 2 points less than the Gunners who are ranked second, and Arsenal's position is already in danger, which is really too exciting!

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur both failed! Copy and paste the shame 0-2, Manchester United played as chaotic as ever when they faced West Ham United. Shotchek broke the deadlock in the 26th minute, and Bowen secured the victory in the second half, while Manchester United made none of the 20 shots in the game, with data but no efficiency. West Ham United beat Manchester United away again in the Premier League after 18 years, and the Red Devils' "lower limit" this season has been refreshed again.

Tottenham did not escape the "0-2 curse" and fell in full swing against Crystal Palace at home. Eze scored twice, and one person was surprised to succeed in carrying the Crystal Palace. The two giants can not only meet the Europa League finals, but also put themselves on the verge of relegation in the Premier League. This pair of brothers and brothers are really eye-catching. Currently, Manchester United has only 39 points in the standings, ranking 16th, only one-line higher than the relegation zone; Tottenham Hotspur scored 38 points and fell to 17th. Fortunately, the three promoted teams are "powerful" and join forces to relegate early, otherwise the pair of brothers in distress will have to fight for relegation.

The focus battle between Newcastle and Chelsea started at St. James Park. Both sides scored 63 points before the game. Whoever wins will be the first in the "fight for the five battles". Newcastle, who played at home, scored a goal in the beginning. Just 2 minutes into the game, Murphy made a cross from the right, Tonali scored a pass from the back point, and Newcastle scored 1-0, achieving a fantasy start!

In the 36th minute, Chelsea suffered another heavy blow. Forward Jackson elbowed his opponent, and then VAR intervened to change the red card. The Blues could only play 11 players 10 away games. How could the Magpies waste this opportunity? The offensive frenzy has been higher than the other wave to siege the opponent. In the injury time, Guimaraes scored another goal, and in the end, Newcastle won 2-0!

This victory allowed Newcastle to win 6 consecutive home games, and at the same time, the points reached 66 points, surpassing Manchester City, which lost points, and temporarily rose to third place in the standings. The Champions League qualification is close to the eye. In the next round, they will challenge Arsenal away. If they escape unscathed, they will win Everton at home in the last round, Newcastle will definitely win the Champions League place, and it is possible to win the top three or even the top two in the league.

Chelsea lost in this game, and it is even more difficult to compete for the five situation. Currently, he ranks fifth with 63 points, just "Jige", with the same score as Villa, who ranks sixth, and is only 1 point higher than Nottingham Forest. The opponents in the last two rounds are: Red Devils Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. As we all know, Amorin, the young coach, should not see him leading the team to play in the Premier League, but facing the Reds Liverpool and Blue Moon Manchester City, from the perspective of the game process, he is a completely strong team, so the Blues are likely to lose points in these two games, and it is not a surprise to be squeezed out of the first five at all.

At present, the competition in the Champions League has evolved into a melee between multiple teams, Newcastle has rushed into the top three, Chelsea is in danger, Manchester City and Villa may also compete for positions at any time; even Nottingham Forest may disrupt the situation, 5 teams compete for 3 Champions League places, with only 4 points gap. The suspense in the last two rounds continues, and the melee is escalating, which is really exciting!
