Over the weekend, Spurs managed to climb out of the relegation zone after a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, while last night Man City gave Arsenal the upper-hand in the title race thanks to a 3-3 draw with Everton.
Spurs are just one point ahead of West Ham, so they are very far from safe, but you have to think they are the favourites to avoid the drop now. At the other end of the table, Monday evening’s upset now leaves City trailing Arsenal by five points, and they have just four games left to try to catch them. Things are looking good in North London!
Arsenal are preoccupied with the Champions League tonight, though, as they look to reach the final for just the second time in their history. They host Atletico Madrid for the second leg of their semi-final, with the scores level at 1-1. It’ll be a tense game, but we probably shouldn’t expect the kind of fireworks we’ve seen in the other semi-final between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
BVB News Borussia Dortmund are close to finalising a deal worth ~€25m for RB Salzburg center-back Joane Gadou. BVB are planning to offer Niko Kovač a contract extension this summer, keeping the Croatian manager at the club beyond 2027. Negotiations are expected to begin at the end of the season.
Kovač has defended his team’s performance this season, arguing they have, for the most part, met expectations. I think he is correct. The club needs to give Kovač a stronger squad if they want to see better results.
