The competition for the title at this moment is the same as the competition for the Champions League. They are both in a white-hot stage, and the two are intertwined and closely connected. One link is linked to the other, and the gears have already begun to turn since Villa faces Liverpool tomorrow.
1. From Villa's perspective, it is in a rather embarrassing situation. It can be said that the league does not dare to let it go easily, and the Europa League final actually dares not to turn a deaf ear. The key is that there is no way to guarantee victory in the Europa League, and in the league, when facing the two teams of Liverpool and Manchester City, there is no guarantee that they can win both games, and may even lose both games. As a result, qualification for the Champions League next season is actually unstable. This mentality is somewhat similar to Arteta's mentality before the Champions League semi-finals last year. He didn't dare to relax in the league, and he didn't dare to be careless in the Champions League. As a result, he lost both games.
There is a certain possibility that Brighton will compete for sixth place. Leeds United has no problem with relegation and has no more pursuits. In the final round against Manchester United, Manchester United will probably start preparing for the World Cup, and they also have no strong will to compete. So if we can get two wins, we have a chance to rank sixth, and there is a corresponding possibility of participating in the Champions League.
3. Bournemouth currently has the strongest fighting spirit. If Villa loses to Liverpool in this round, then Bournemouth will even be aware of the possibility of rising to fifth place when Villa lose to Manchester City in the last round. In this way, there is no need to consider the result of Villa's Europa League final, and they can directly qualify for the Champions League and successfully land. If Villa goes first in this round and can beat Liverpool, although Bournemouth's Champions League qualification depends on Villa's Europa League finals, it is extremely necessary to fight for victory against Manchester City and suppress Brighton.
4. For Manchester City, this game against Bournemouth can also be regarded as a final. If they win Bournemouth away from home, Villa will firmly occupy fifth place. Regardless of the outcome of the Europa League final, they will be able to securely qualify for next season's Champions League. Villa will also give up in the last round, just because of Emery's grudge against Arsenal. A draw or loss to Bournemouth would have ended the league race.
No matter what, our factory will definitely win the last two rounds and let them fight.
