Manchester City-Chelsea is a match valid for the thirty-seventh day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 5pm: TV, predictions.
There was no need even to take the field. The ninth title in its history, the third in a row, Manchester City won it “from home. “
As predicted, Arsenal definitely foundered at home to Nottingham Forest, hungry for salvation points, which after yesterday is official. The Gunners’ defeat allowed the Citizens to celebrate with a day to spare, despite the fact that Pep Guardiola’s men still have to make up the game with Brighton. The Etihad Stadium will therefore be decked out in the match with a Chelsea that now has nothing more to ask of this league. City has done nothing but reaffirm its superiority over its rivals: Arsenal, which remained at the top of the standings for several months, eventually had to surrender: decisive defeats in all direct clashes, including the cup ones. For the Catalan coach, this could become a truly memorable season: the Treble dream is still intact. The Citizens, after getting their hands on the Premier League, can win the FA Cup – the final is scheduled for next June 3 at Wembley, where they will face Manchester United’s cousins – and especially the coveted Champions League.

As for Chelsea, on the other hand, their heads are already set on next season. Forgetting in the shortest possible time the disasters combined in this one is the Blues’ goal: out of everything and unable to close at least in the left side of the standings, next year they will try their hand exclusively with the Premier League and domestic cups. Frank Lampard, however, wants to try to take some satisfaction before passing the baton to successor Mauricio Pochettino, who is ready to start rebuilding.
