The fans were warned not to invade the pitch.There was a message on the big screen a few minutes before the end, a reminder on the public address system that entering the playing surface was strictly illegal and would not be tolerated.There was a line of stewards and police officers poised like sprinters by the touchline, ready to secure the turf as soon as the game ended.

It's a big weekend for Manchester City as they welcome Chelsea to the Etihad Stadium for their final home match of the season.After demolishing Real Madrid to reach the Champions League final on Wednesday evening, the blues can wrap up the Premier League title with victory over Chelsea on Sunday.City have been in amazing form during the run-in to the season's end, clawing back the points advantage set by Arsenal before going four points clear at the top of the table.

Manchester City take the short trip along the M62 to face Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday with both teams desperate for points for very different reasons.While three points for City will edge the blues even closer to a third successive title, Everton will move away from the relegation zone with a victory.

Manchester City Football Club have seized control of the Premier League title and are now just two points behind leaders Arsenal FC with two games in hand.City have 7 league games remaining, and if they win them all they will finish with 94 points.Arsenal's maximum point haul after the loss at the Etihad is 90.

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has broken his silence on Chelsea's disastrous 2022/23 campaign under his stewardship.The Blues have endured an embarrassing first season under the new ownership, going through three different managers in Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and now caretaker boss Frank Lampard.

As the saying goes, you can't just throw money at a problem.Todd Boehly's Clearlake consortium have ploughed more than £600m into a Chelsea side that finished third last season.Clearly they expected something better than a campaign spent scrabbling around mid-table - the Blues are likely to set their record-lowest points after five defeats from five under Frank Lampard.

Felix has been a shining light for Chelsea since his arrival in January, his movement off the ball and ability to create chances being something that Chelsea have missed in the past couple of seasons.The Portuguese forward has two goals since his arrival at the start of the year and Wright-Phillips is of the opinion that Felix solves a lot of the issues that Chelsea have had in recent years.

Manchester City's machine-like assault on the final slew of this season's fixtures continued with a 3-0 victory over relegation-haunted Everton.Sean Dyche's side formed a formidable blockade, denying the reigning champions a single shot until the 28th minute.Yet, it proved just a matter of time before the oiled cogs clicked into gear and Ilkay Gundogan juggled City into a first-half lead, kickstarting a victory which sent Pep Guardiola's side four points clear of their nearest rivals Arsenal.

(Image credit: Getty Images) Chelsea are sleepwalking their way towards their worst-ever Premier League points finish in the Premier League era, with further damning statistics highlighting just how poorly the Blues have performed this season.After losing 3-1 away to Arsenal on Tuesday night, Chelsea's winless run of games continues.

The weekend's Premier League action saw Manchester City and Manchester United close the gap to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium by a plucky Brentford side riding the crest of a form wave under Thomas Frank.A point was enough to ensure Arsenal maintained their position at the top of the Premier League form table, with seven wins from their last ten outings, but City's 3-1 win over Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium means the gap at the top of the table is back down to three points and the gap in the form table to one.

Chelsea have a rare chance to secure back-to-back wins this season when Nottingham Forest visit Stamford Bridge this weekend.Frank Lampard at long last ended his miserable record as the Blues' caretaker manager with a 3-1 victory at Bournemouth which confirmed that they are safe from relegation.The same cannot yet be said for Steve Cooper's Forest, who still have work to do to ensure they beat the drop.

Chelsea are reportedly close to completing their search for a new manager, with a decision to come in the next few days.Mauricio Pochettino remains the favourite for the Blues job, with a final decision and official announcement now looking fairly imminent, according to The Athletic.Chelsea are enduring a difficult season, though they finally got back to winning ways with a 3-1 win away to Bournemouth at the weekend a first win for Frank Lampard since he returned to the club as interim manager.

Frank Lampard says Chelsea's recent poor results reflects "the reality" of where the club is and it will take time to turn things around.New owner Todd Boehly has spent £600m on new players this season, only for performances to get worse.Lampard has lost all his six games in charge, with the midweek defeat at Arsenal leaving them on course for their lowest finish since 1996.

Kante has been crucial to Chelsea's success since his arrival from Leicester in 2016 and when he has been injured, the Blues have suffered, none more so than this season.Injured in the second game of the campaign against Tottenham, everyone associated with Chelsea began to question whether the club should extend his contract that is set to expire this summer amid these injury worries.

Another Chelsea game overseen by Frank Lampard and another Chelsea defeat, this time by Arsenal, and the Blues midfield legend was in no mood to mince his words after the game.The Gunners comprehensively outplayed their visitors in the first half, with Chelsea second to every ball and rarely closing down their opponent.

Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo scored his first goal for the club as they halted a dismal run by beating struggling city rivals Everton 2-0 at Anfield in the Premier League on Monday.Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 36th minute, linking up with Darwin Nunez on the counter-attack just after Everton missed a glorious double chance to take the lead, with Dwight McNeil going close and James Tarkowski hitting the post.

May 2nd 2023, 19:20 Arsenal will be desperate to do the league double over their London rivals this season and need a win to keep their title hopes alive, but Chelsea won't be beaten easily with plenty of pride at stake.Mikel Arteta makes three changes to the Arsenal side that lost to Manchester City last week, with Jakub Kiwior coming in for Rob Holding and Jorginho and Leandro Trossard replacing Thomas Partey and Gabriel Martinelli respectively.

Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard believes the constant change of manager at the London club during his time there cost him trophies.Under the stewardship of former owner Roman Abramovich, Chelsea were known to be ruthless when it came to the expectations of their managers and that seems to have continued under Todd Boehly who has already had four different people in the dugout this campaign.

David Moyes says he "does not see a divided club" at West Ham as they prepare to face what could be a pivotal league game with Everton on Saturday.Both clubs are struggling and currently reside in the Premier League's bottom three, with 15 points from 19 games.Everton fans protested against the club's owners at Goodison Park last weekend, but Moyes does not see similar discord at his own club.
