Fulham 0:4 Manchester City

After being eliminated by Real Madrid, Manchester City, who returned to the domestic arena, was full of firepower, reached the final of the FA Cup, and entered the league in 2024 without defeat; Pep Guardiola's side continued their red-hot form against Fulham in this round, with Gvardiol, who has been in excellent form of late, opening the scoring early in the 12th minute of the first half with an assist from Kevin De Bruyne. In the 59th minute of the second half, Foden swept to extend the advantage, and in the 71st minute, Gvardiol scored another goal, scoring 5 goals in the last 7 games; In the sixth minute of stoppage time, Diop was sent off for sending two yellows and one red, and Alvarez scored from the penalty spot.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are seven points behind in the remaining two games and have already confirmed that they will miss out on the Premier League title this season.

Tottenham 2:1 Burnley

After recent consecutive losses to Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, Tottenham finally ushered in a weak Burnley in this round, although Burnley scored first, but Porro and Van der Veen scored 2 goals in a row to complete the reversal, Tottenham ended a 4-game losing streak; With four points separating Villa from fourth-placed Villa and Tottenham still have a make-up game against Manchester City in midweek, a game that could well decide the Premier League title and Champions League place this season.

As for Burnley's loss, it has been confirmed that they will be relegated early, Burnley has only won 5 of 37 Premier League games this season, ranking second from the bottom of the league with 24 points, 5 points behind Nottingham Forest in the safety zone, and with only one last game left in the league this season, Burnley is determined to be relegated early and will play in the Championship again next season. With the addition of Sheffield United, who have already been relegated, last season's Championship winners and runners-up have only experienced one round of the Premier League. Luton Town also lost this round, three points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest with just one game left in the league and a 13-goal difference, and their relegation is only a theoretical possibility, with only one point left to clear the forest.

Chelsea 3:2 Nottingham Forest

Chelsea's last two successive wins over Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have shown good form, and the Blues face plenty of challenges against relegation-minded Nottingham Forest. In the eighth minute, Palmer sent a through ball and Mudryk broke the deadlock with a small-angle push, Palmer has contributed 21 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season, and is the third player after Lampard and Kane to score double figures in a single Premier League goal. However, Nottingham Forest immediately launched a counter-attack, and Gibbs White set up Boehly's equaliser on eight minutes.

Returning from the second half, Nottingham Forest surrounded the Blues defence and took the lead in the 75th minute through veteran Callum Hudson-Odoi; At the critical moment, Raheem Sterling stepped up first, and in the 80th minute, Caicedo split the ball, and Sterling cut inside to equalize. Two minutes later, Jacquesson's header from Jacquesson gave Chelsea a 3-2 comeback when James crossed from the right and Jacquesson scored the winning goal.

Granada 0:4 Real Madrid

Real Madrid returned to the Champions League final in midweek, won the league in the previous round, and Granada were relegated four rounds early, and even though Carlo Ancelotti made a whopping 10-man rotation, the Galacticos still won a hearty victory. Fran Garcia received an assist from Dias in the 38th minute of the first half and volleyed Real Madrid's first goal; In stoppage time, the 19-year-old doubled his advantage with a flanking push, and he scored three goals in eight league appearances this season, becoming the most efficient player in La Liga this season.

The second half became the stage for Dias's performance, he scored two goals in the 49th and 59th minutes to complete the brace, and after the whole game, he scored three goals with two shots and passes, and Real Madrid also won easily 4-0. Since then, Real Madrid have kept 19 clean sheets in the league, equalling the 36-year record for clean sheets.
