10:24am, 17 May 2025Football
On May 17, the 37th round of the Premier League matches were played in two first games, with Chelsea playing against Manchester United at home. The result of this red and blue battle has a direct impact on the overall situation of the Premier League in the five-game situation. In the end, Chelsea won 1-0 and scored a valuable 3 points.
Chelsea is definitely determined to win this game. After they lost to Newcastle in the last round away, they have become very passive. If you cannot win Manchester United in this game, you can almost directly announce that Chelsea will withdraw from the five-game battle.
Because he will play in the Europa League final next week, Amorin sent all the main players to start in this game. He undoubtedly plans to use Chelsea to practice the lineup, but unfortunately the result is not satisfactory. On the away game, Manchester United's offensive performance was very average and their defense was unsatisfactory. In the 71st minute of the second half, James turned around in the frontcourt to get rid of Garnacho, and then found Cucurella with a cross. The latter headed the ball into the far corner, and Chelsea led 1-0. In the end, they also defeated Manchester United with this score and successfully won 3 points.
In another game, Villa faced Tottenham at home, and there were no surprises in the results. In the second half, Consa and Kamala scored goals one after another, ultimately helping the team defeat their opponent 2-0. This victory also gave Villa hope to compete for five.
As of now, in the Premier League standings, Chelsea and Villa have both surpassed Manchester City with one more game, and the latter has been squeezed out of the top five. As they want to participate in the FA Cup final, Manchester City's home match against Bournemouth will not be held until the middle of next week. If they cannot defeat their opponents, the five will be completely passive.
From the current perspective, the situation in the Premier League is still in a stalemate. From Newcastle to Nottingham Forest, there are 4 points behind these five teams. In the next round, this will determine the fate of multiple teams. Among them, the big dark horse Nottingham Forest will face West Ham and Chelsea in the last two rounds. Only by winning all of these two games will Nottingham Forest have a glimmer of hope. In fact, even if Nottingham Forest scored 6 points in the second round, they only had 68 points in the end. This score may be difficult to help them enter the top five and get a Champions League place.
In fact, after three consecutive rounds of unwinding, Nottingham Forest has already pushed itself into a desperate situation. With their current state, they will continue to lose points in the away game against West Ham at any time. If they cannot defeat West Ham, Nottingham Forest will basically be eliminated early due to the goal difference. This season, Nottingham Forest once ranked in the top three for a long time, but unfortunately they were unable to succeed and their rankings continued to decline. From now on, Nottingham Forest may be difficult to change one's fate!
