The most important news of Round 31 is that Arsenal failed to beat West Ham away from home. The leaders opened 2-0 with ten minutes of play, went to the break winning by 2-1, but conceded the equalizing goal at the beginning of the second half and had no more strength to impose their pace.
With this scenario, Manchester City could be just one point away from Arsenal if they win their next match. Premier League fans are in utter disbelief at what has happened as Arsenal once had a lead of 8 points over their rivals.
Manchester United and Newcastle complete the group of the four best teams in the Premier League, while Tottenham and Aston Villa occupy the qualifying positions for next year’s Europa League an Conference. Liverpool (8th) and Chelsea (11th) continue to disappoint their fans, occupying mid-table positions.
Check out what happened in the main games of the Premier League round 31.

In a game that was almost scripted, Manchester City obliterated a Leicester City team that tried to wake up at the end but wasn’t lucky enough. The game started as we predicted, with the Foxes sitting deep. In this case, they weren’t as resilient as in the match at King Power Stadium, and Stones opened the charts with a wonder goal at minute 5′ that broke everything planned on the visitors’ minds, as the errors started to pile up.
Haaland did his thing with two more annotations for his heavy account, and then the locals decided to close things ups, leaving our prediction of a 3 goals victory on point. With a fully rotated squad in the second half for the Citizens, Leicester had a couple of occasions, even hitting the wood bar, however, the goal came through a Kalvin Phillips unintelligence, bothering Ederson and allowing Iheanacho to be on-side for a tap-in. The only bad news for Manchester City is that the midfielder keeps having an awful debut season.

The game between West Ham and Arsenal was considered resolved before starting, but what was seen as a real war on the field, with the hosts tying the game and holding the result.
Gabriel Jesus and Odegaard scored Arsenal’s first two goals, opening up an important advantage in the 10th minute of the first half. Said Benrahma scored for Aston Villa from the penalty spot in the first half.
In the second half, the young Saka missed yet another important penalty, this time for Arsenal, and the punishment came soon after Jarrod Bowen scored the equalizing goal, complicating the situation for the Gunners.
Arsenal did what they could to put pressure on the Hammers in the final minutes, but the result stood. A draw that tasted like defeat and made the Arsenal players leave the pitch worried.

When Liverpool’s forwards are having a good day, it’s hard for any team to stop them. Even playing away from home, Klopp’s team applied a historic thrashing of Leeds, who could barely see the ball.
Salah and Jota each scored two goals, while Gakpo and Darwin Núñez completed the scoring. Leeds’ goal came early in the second half when the match was still 2-0 for the visitors. The annotation, however, affected the opponent, who attacked with even more aggressiveness and scored another 4 goals.
Despite the victory, Liverpool continues to disappoint when looking at the Premier League standings. Klopp’s team still runs the risk of not even qualifying for the UEFA Conference League, which is the third-tier competition on the old continent.
