Talking points from the Premier League weekend:
With eight games left in a breakneck race to the finish, everything seems to be falling into place for Manchester City, with a palpable sense of momentum shift.
"It is a final to play more finals because if you lose this game, it will be almost over," Guardiola said. "Hopefully we can arrive having the chance to be there." When Emery took charge on Oct. 24, Watkins had scored twice since the start of the season. Since then he has taken his tally to 15, with 11 goals in his last 12 league appearance -- a ratio only Man City's Erling Haaland can better.
Everton missed the industry of suspended Abdoulaye Doucoure and the presence of Amadou Onana in midfield, and it was a game that perhaps laid bare the paucity of squad options for Dyche. Any hope that the dismissal of Antonio Conte, whose rigid style of play was at odds with the club's 'to dare is to do' motto, would bring the joy back have proved unfounded.
Tottenham may well win at Newcastle next week but even if they do it will be papering over the cracks of a squad that needs a manager with fresh ideas who can put the smile back on the face of the players, and the fans.Saturday's defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers will sting even more for Brentford fans as it likely means the end of their chances of qualifying for Europe next season, with their famed resilience deserting them just when they need it the most.
