Arsenal vs Newcastle

Arsenal has been competing with Manchester City for the championship in the past two seasons, but neither succeeded and only won the runner-up. This season, Manchester City's condition declined significantly and withdrew from the championship group early, but Arsenal did not seize the opportunity and was left behind by Liverpool. Arteta focuses on the Champions League, and Arsenal has also passed the hurdles and reached the semi-finals, but was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain and missed the final. Being tied to the Champions League, Arsenal has only won one game in the last six rounds of the league, and the position of second place in the league is in danger.

After Newcastle was acquired by Saudi Arabia's 100 billion yuan, the team's strength soared. This season, Newcastle focused all its energy in the Premier League without European competition. During the sprint stage of the season, Newcastle won 7 games in the last 9 rounds, and the team's ranking also rose to third place, becoming a popular team to win the Champions League place. In the 5th minute, Raya made a ball in the backcourt and passed it directly to the opponent. Guimaras shot in the penalty area and was saved by Raya. In the 13th minute, Arsenal took a corner kick from the right, and Thomas headed the ball from a close distance in front of the goal was blocked by Pope with one hand. In the 54th minute, Saka intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and passed it to Odegao. Odegao passed to the open space at the top of the arc, Rice broke the goal with a world wave, and Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

West Ham United defeated Manchester United in the last round away, ending the embarrassing trough of eight consecutive rounds of unwinding, and the team successfully relegated ahead of schedule. Nottingham Forest once won the Champions League, but since returning to the Premier League last season, Nottingham Forest's strength has been increasing year by year. Under the leadership of Nuno, this season, it has emerged and has become a dark horse team in the Premier League. It performed amazingly in the first half of the season and was once ranked in the top three in the standings.

However, in the sprint stage of the season, Nottingham Forest suddenly collapsed. After losing to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals, Nottingham Forest also suffered three rounds of defeat in the Premier League, winning only one game in the last 6 rounds, and the ranking fell out of the top four. The initiative in the Champions League quota was not in his own hands. In the 11th minute, Areola made a pass in front of the goal and gave a big gift. Gibbs White intercepted and pushed the shot and accepted it with a smile! 1-0! Nottingham Forest takes the lead away! In the 61st minute, Ilanga took a free kick and Mirenkovic rubbed the ball into the goal with his back! 2-0! Nottingham Forest wins another game! In the 86th minute, Paqueta's ball behind him was destroyed by the defender, and Bao Wenling pierced through the opponent's city gate with two empty points! 1-2! West Ham United scored a goal!

The Premier League teams have performed very well in the European competition this season, ranking first among the five major leagues. Therefore, starting next season, there will be five UEFA Champions League places, plus Manchester United will play against Tottenham in the UEFA Cup final, so 6 teams in the Premier League will participate in the Champions League next season. The biggest suspense in the Premier League is to compete for the UEFA Champions League next season. Chelsea and Aston Villa both won this round, and as many as 5 teams on the standings will compete for 3 UEFA Champions League places, which is unprecedentedly intense. The suspense of the top five rankings will not be revealed until the last round.
