No Movement at the top or bottom.

Moyes Out. Within a couple days of Tim Howard praising David Moyes for really shaping his career, West Ham decided to part ways with Moyes at the end of the PL season and it looks like Julen Lopetegui (the manager who left Wolves the week before this season started) will be his successor. West Ham fans seem happy. Clean Sheet has some question marks. Yes, Lopetegui has had great success in Spain but why did he really bail on Wolves the week before the season? Do I want a manager who would do that?

Ho Hum. Every PL Match Week has amazing, exciting moments, but, on the energy-o-meter this last weekend it was pointed towards “ho-hum”. Obviously, high energy for the winners, but 8 of the 10 matches had great action but no late drama.

Chelsea Into Europe. As it stands now, Chelsea has jumped over West Ham. The race for Europe positioning will be exciting over the next 2 weeks.

Haaland. You can see more below, but Haaland staked his claim to a scoring title with 4 goals and a hat trick in the 1H.

64. Man United’s lowest point total in a season is 64. They currently sit on 54 with 3 matches to play, this season will be their lowest point total ever.

100 Goals. That’s 100 goals allowed for Sheffield United. One more and it’s a record, and with 2 games to play and only 1 clean sheet on the season for the Blades the question is what will they set their new record at.

Stats Leaders - Players. Haaland jumps way out with 4 goals on the weekend.

Declan Rice is looking worth every penny/schilling/quid (pick your term) and the Gunners are the real deal, but will it be enough as they need City to slip up one time in their final three matches and win out themselves.

City looked uninspired at forest a week ago. What a difference a week can make. They look like they will roll through their final there matches to claim the title.

4 Goals for Erling Haaland, and he is now out in front to take the leading goal scorer of the season.

Villa Slumping. BHA 1-0 Villa. The Seagulls have been slumping and not scoring but Villa has hit a slump of their own over their last 3 drawing to Chelsea and losing to Olympiacos at home and now not scoring at BHA.

Spurs Need More. Liverpool 4-2 Tottenham. This was all Liverpool for 60’ but maybe Spurs found something to build off of scoring at 72’ and 77’. Spurs should be safely in the Europa League next season unless they completely fall apart the last 3 matches. Was a refreshing Liverpool performance, playing with energy and finding ways to finish.

Just Better. Burnley had been playing well and it seemed they were primed to take a big step away from relegation at home, but Newcastle had other plans, they scored early and often and took a 3-0 into the half and made it 4-0 before Burnley got one back at 86’. A big match 5/15 at Old Trafford may decide the fate of both United and Newcastle.

All Chelsea. Chelsea 5-0 West Ham. Just a pounding in the London Derby and Chelsea are making their move into a Europe position. 3 goals in the 1H and a brace in the 2H by Nicolas Jackson and the route was on.

By Far Not Good Enough. Palace 4-0 Man United. Those were Erik ten Hag’s comments post-match, and he’s right. Really stunning. Yes, Palace is playing great under their new manager Oliver Glasner - but there was just no fight in United. Yes, they have injuries, and yes Bruno Fernandes makes a difference, but this is United. It just wasn’t close.
