The best drama in store for fans as EPL enters last two months of season

AND just like that, we are in April, and for the Premier League teams, it is “squeaky bum time!” as Sir Alex Ferguson famously called it.

The last two months of the season and the games are coming thick and fast.

For the teams still competing in Europe, there are more matches than ever as they progress in the competition.

If you do not have the squad depth, the injury could pile up, but for us fans, the last two months are the best! It separates the strong from the weak and is a real test of their mental fortitude.

Manchester City started the month of April by making lightweight of Liverpool.

Despite going down early, City did not panic and continued playing their brand of football to expose the static and broken Liverpool squad.

Liverpool were outplayed in all aspects on the field. Trent Alexander Arnold’s defensive frailty continues to be a problem. Even the basic awareness of a one-two is lost on him.

At the current rate, even moving him to the middle of the park could be a liability for the team.

Even without Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez was an able deputy. His movement was too much for the once-great Virgil Van Dijjk to cope.

Juergen Klopp has no answer to the malaise inflicted on his squad away from home.

From that performance, it will take more than Jude Bellingham to fix it. I predicted that Liverpool would miss out on the Champions League spot in January.

Based on their current form and fixture list, I might be right with my prediction.

Arsenal accepted City’s challenge by making easy work of Leeds. Even without Bukayo Saka, Arsenal welcomed back Gabriel Jesus to the starting XI. Jesus was a thorn in Leeds’ defense and bagged himself two goals.

The man of the match for me was Aaron Ramsdale, who made crucial saves at crucial moments.

With an eight-point advantage, Mikel Arteta hopes his team’s form can continue until the end of the season.

Over at Stamford Bridge, Graham Potter got axed after Chelsea lost 0-2 to Aston Villa. With 27 shots on goal, this club cannot break their hoodoo in front of the goal.

This can be very worrying for the match against Real Madrid because Real’s forwards can punish any team in Europe.

Mykhailo Mudryk continues to be the season’s flop with another woeful performance.

With Julian Nagelsmann available, it will be a race between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to sign him in the summer. Until then, a caretaker coach will lead Chelsea in the next game against Liverpool.

The race for the top four got interesting after Newcastle won against Manchester United. In fact, Newcastle dominated from start to finish.

The scoreline could have been another seven if it wasn’t for David De Gea. United’s midfield was pedestrian, and the substitutions from Erik ten Hag were baffling. Their form in the league is shaky. After winning the Carabao Cup, it is now two defeats and one draw in the league. United are looking like a one-man team.

If Casemiro is out, this squad will search for heart and identity. Ten Hag cannot wait for Casemiero to return after the Everton game. By that time, United could be out of the top four positions.

If Spurs have a new manager bounce, the race for the top four could be entertaining for everyone!

The Game of the Week was at American Express Community Stadium. Brighton and Brentford played to a 3-3 draw. Six goals: If I were a paying customer, I would go home happy!

Mr PhD Kaoru Mitoma put on another outstanding display and scored a lovely goal. The two pretenders for a European spot are playing an attractive brand of football.

You would not fault them if they qualified for Europe because both teams played like a team. Their winning factor is their togetherness playing as a unit!
