Manchester City experienced a stormy away game at Merseyside when they were held to a 3-3 draw by Everton, thereby making it difficult for themselves in the Premier League title race.
This result puts Man City at a disadvantage in the race as they are 5 points behind Arsenal. Even if they win a rescheduled match, the gap will only be reduced to 2 points, meaning they no longer have the right to self-determination, while Arsenal has a more relaxed schedule in the final stage.
Meanwhile, Chelsea continued to sink deeper into crisis when losing 1-3 to Nottingham Forest right at Stamford Bridge. The away team played explosively and led 3-0 before Chelsea scored a late consolation goal. This is already The Blues' 6th consecutive defeat in the Premier League.
This result officially extinguishes Chelsea's hopes of participating in the Champions League when they are already 10 points behind Aston Villa while the season is only 3 rounds away. Even the Europa League or Conference League spot becomes fragile when they are far behind Bournemouth and Brentford.
With Everton, although they did not maintain the victory against Man City, they can still compete for a position with Chelsea when the two teams have equal points. And Nottingham Forest has almost reached a relegation spot after an impressive streak of form, creating a safe gap with the relegation group.
