Who are you betting on now?
When Anthony Taylor blew the final whistle at Old Trafford yesterday, those in the away end must have felt like they had lost a pound and found a penny.

While everything was going on, supporters of Manchester City and Arsenal were jubilant that Liverpool, despite having created an absurd amount of opportunities, was unable to give their bitter rivals United a real stuffing.
Everything was the opposite way around a week ago. Liverpool’s fans were grinning as they watched City and Arsenal play out an absurd draw at the Etihad.
The only thing that is known in this amazing three-horse race with seven games remaining is that there will be more twists and turns before a winner is declared.
We’ve reached that amusing point in the season where supporters uncannily become knowledgeable about their opponents’ teams.They don’t give a damn about any clubs but their own for eight months.
However, ask supporters of City, Liverpool, or Arsenal about today’s Premier League schedule, and they will be extremely knowledgeable on the remaining games for each team.
Pep Guardiola’s City should easily score nine points in their upcoming three games against Nottingham Forest, Brighton, and Luton.
Even if City’s defense does not appear to be as good as it has been, you would still expect them to win their remaining three games against Fulham, Wolves, and West Ham.But City also have to squeeze in a rearranged fixture at Spurs, with Pep’s me𝚗 having lost five straight games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before January’s 1-0 FA Cup win.
On Sunday, Liverpool will undoubtedly defeat Crystal Palace. The Cottagers may have been out of steam going into their next league match at Fulham, but it might have still been difficult.
Play the Video”It’s written in the stars,” says Gary Lineker, predicting the Premier League winners on MOTD.
Wednesday, April 24, when the Reds make the short trip over Stanley Park to play Everton, might be a pivotal game. A Merseyside derby has an added advantage, regardless of how awful Everton is.
In the next six days, Liverpool will visit West Ham before taking on Aston Villa and Spurs, who are vying for the Champions League. And on the last day, Wolves will visit Jurgen Klopp’s club at home.
Meanwhile, Arsenal seem unstoppable and look to have benefited from the pаin of missing out last season. Aston Villa are at the Emirates on Sunday and their next Prem fixtures are at Wolves and home to Chelsea, which potentially could be awkward..
How the title run-ins compare
With just one point separating the top three, it will come down to the wire. But how do the final three runs by Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City compare?
Arsenal’s opponents are Bournemouth (H), Man Utd (A), Everton (H), Wolves (A), Chelsea (H), and Spurs (A).
Liverpool: Wolves (H), Aston Villa (A), West Ham (A), Tottenham (H), Fulham (A), Everton (A), and Crystal Palace (H)
Man City: Wolves (H), Fulham (A), Luton (H), Brighton (A), Nottingham Forest (A), West Ham (H), and Tottenham (A TBC)
However, both teams will place a great deal of importance on the April 28 North London derby at Spurs. Arsenal’s remaining games are at Bournemouth and Manchester United, with a home match against Everton on the last day.
Everybody recalls the drama of the championship game on the last Sunday, but this one might be extremely memorable.
The Premier League trophy is now in the hands of Manchester City, but there is a spare that is displayed globally.
Furthermore, a stainless steel duplicate is kept in the TV studios of Premier League Productions and might be used if all three clubs play on Sunday, May 19.
I hope it turns out that way. But given their individual meetings, advantage City has to win.
