Arsenal and Liverpool simultaneously suffered unexpected defeats in round 33 of the Premier League, thereby allowing Man City to surpass them in the championship race.
On the evening of April 14, Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace with a score of 0-1 at Anfield in round 33 of the Premier League. No one can recognize the face of “The Kop” in just 2 weeks.
Eberechi Eze’s only goal in the 11th minute was enough to decide the match. Coach Jurgen Klopp and his team went through 3 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory.
The “Red Brigade” is in danger of losing two important goals in just two weeks. A few days ago, the Merseyside club lost 0-3 to Atalanta at home in the quarterfinals of the Europa League first leg.
Before that, Liverpool also lost 3-4 to MU in the FA Cup quarterfinals. At the Premier League front, they also could not win against a MU that was in crisis.
Liverpool’s unexpected defeat is an opportunity for Arsenal to cut off their opponents in the championship race. The “Gunners” are predicted to win all 3 points against Aston Villa when playing at Emirates home field.
However, the 11-match unbeaten streak, including 10 wins, in the Premier League since the beginning of 2024 became meaningless because Arsenal played a terrible match against Aston Villa.
Throughout the match, coach Mikel Arteta and his team were powerless to find a way into the opponent’s net. In the last minutes, they lost two consecutive goals with accurate shots from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.
The 0-2 loss was no different from a major blow to the club’s ambitions in the championship race. Last season, they also collapsed at the most important stage of the season.
Liverpool and Arsenal “stumbled”, Man City was the team that enjoyed all the joy. In the past 4 months, “The Citizens” have not been in their usual destructive form. However, it is no coincidence that they have dominated the Premier League for many past seasons. Defeating Luton Town 5-1, Man City slowly climbed to the top of the tournament.
After 32 matches, Arsenal has 71 points, ranked second on the Premier League rankings. They are 2 points behind top team Man City. Once again, Man City proved that they are a formidable team in the sprint, while Liverpool and Arsenal collapsed at the fateful turn.
