Liverpool has won the English Premier League football title and the three relegation teams have also been eliminated. But for the top five teams in the points table, the fierce competition is still there. Manchester City went through a period of poor performances in the middle of the season, so the team's title defense was also over.
At least City are now almost certain to be one of the five teams to play in the European Champions League next season. This season seems to have been up and down for City. At least qualifying for the Champions League will be considered a team success. Its biggest test will be at the hands of the Wolves. Wolves is the team that is in the best form.
At the bottom of the table, Southampton are trying to avoid a performance that would go down as one of the worst performances by any team in history. Before this weekend's match, we will try to analyze two such facts, which can be considered as a topic of discussion.
A chance to avoid a poor performance
Southampton were just seconds away from an equalizer against Fulham last weekend. Had this result come, Southampton would have surpassed the Premier League's lowest performance of 11 points in the name of Derby. But Southampton, who is at the bottom of the table, could not stop the pressure of Fulham.
Ryan Sessegnon scored the game-winning goal in injury time. Fulham came from one goal behind to win at St. Mary's. It was like 'rubbing salt in the wound' for Southampton. Because this team was determined to be relegated before long.
When Derby were relegated in 2007-08, the team was stopped at 11 points. This is the worst performance ever. Southampton travel to Leicester City on Saturday. Leicester became the next team to be relegated themselves. So Southampton will have the best opportunity to improve on Derby's poor performance.
"The only objective should be to be optimistic in the current situation," Simane Rask, the acting coach of the club, said, "We have suffered many bad results, so we are at the bottom of the table." At no time was our performance solid and dominant. If our performance is not the worst in history, it will give some peace.'
Arsenal's preparation for Paris
Not only is the title race over for Arsenal, the team is almost certain to take second place. In particular, it seems that Arsenal will be limited to runners-up for the third season in a row. That's why Michel Martetta's focus is on the European Champions League semi-final second leg next season. The
team faces Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Wednesday. Arsenal lost 1-0 at home to PSG in the first leg. Arsenal will be aiming for a famous historic win in Paris. Arsenal have yet to win the Champions League. So Arteta's goal is to enter the final.
So it would be no surprise if Arsenal rest their key players when they face Bournemouth on Saturday. What does Mikel Merino, the main player of the team, and what do all his friends believe, Arsenal will reach the final for the first time since 2006. "We have to prove ourselves against PSG," Merino admits.
