The Champions League win away to defending champions Inter Milan was a huge boost to the confidence and morale of the Manchester United players, and then in the away game against Wigan Athletic, the Reds showed no fatigue from travelling to Italy, scoring twice in each half to comfortably beat Wigan Athletic and continue to lead the table with an unbeaten record of 28 games.

The only thing the Reds deplored was their centre-back Nemanja Vidic, who suffered a thigh muscle strain and said he was set to miss the next tie against Liverpool.

This is unexpected, and it is also a reasonable thing, because Rio Ferdinand has been injured often before, and Evans has also been injured in training recently, in order to ensure the stability of the backline, Vidic can only play the whole game without missing a minute.

Fatigue is the most likely to cause muscle strain, but Ferguson has no choice, if Vidic and Ferdinand can not play, in the most important position of central defender, can only play Smalling, or O'Shea, Brown cameo, how the combination of these three people is unreliable, Ferguson can only use the head.

To the relief of Ferguson and Manchester United fans, although Gao Xiaodong is also a full-time attendance, it may be because of his youth, Gao Xiaodong is still in very good shape.

In the game with Wigan Athletic, although Gao Xiaodong only scored one goal, and the goal was not as good as Ronido, who scored twice, he still entered the best team of this round with an outstanding performance.

Chelsea also won this round as they comfortably beat another Chinese owner, Birmingham City, 3-1.

However, United's victory made Chelsea's victory meaningless, with 10 games remaining in the league and Chelsea nine points less than Manchester United, meaning that as long as United do not make consecutive mistakes, the Premier League title is almost all of Manchester United's.

For current Premier League fans, the only thing left in the suspense is when Manchester United's golden body will be broken and which team will be relegated at the end of the season.

In the remaining ten rounds of the league, Manchester United still has Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal three strong teams, Liverpool and Arsenal are away, Chelsea is home, from the home and away record and style of play, Chelsea wants to win Manchester United at Old Trafford has little hope, Arsenal's style of play is restrained by Manchester United, and Liverpool, which is similar to Manchester United's style of play, and the team that is terrifying at home has hope to break Manchester United's unbeaten golden body.

In the 29th round, Liverpool faced Manchester United, who were unbeaten in 28 league games, at Anfield.

Liverpool and Manchester United's "double red club" has long been hailed as an "English derby", but the Reds' 20-year Premier League titlelessness, and the rise of Arsenal and Chelsea have called into question that title. However, with 4.7 billion viewers and 2 billion fans around the world, the rivalry between the two teams still has the greatest global impact, which is not comparable to the Spanish national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and the Milan derby between Inter Milan and AC Milan.

The game was a big deal for Liverpool boss Dalglish, who was knocked out of the FA Cup by losing to Manchester United in his first game in charge.

Thankfully, Dalglish had plenty of experience to win three, draw two and lose one in the following league games, as well as beating Chelsea at home, which allowed Dalglish to gradually reverse the bad impression in the minds of the team and the fans.

With Liverpool's early record in the dark and only four points away from the relegation zone, Dalglish is powerless even if he has the ability of Lord Alex Ferguson, and now they are in sixth place, but they are still six points away from fourth-place Arsenal, and it is almost impossible to reach the Champions League.

Therefore, for Liverpool and Dalglish, the main task of the season has become to break Manchester United's unbeaten gold medal and do their best to prevent Manchester United from winning the title.

Although the goal is to beat Manchester United and win the Double Red Club, with Liverpool now in a vulnerable position, Manchester United are gaining momentum, and Dalglish has taken the initiative to cool the Reds fans.

'People say it's the biggest game of the season, but I don't have a big or small game in my eyes, it's just another game and you get three points if you win. The only difference this time is that if we win, we can break their unbeaten run this season and make the title race a little more suspenseful!"

'But I hope the Liverpool players and fans can stay calm and the result on Saturday is important because it's about the feelings of millions of fans, but it's not a boxing match, it's a football game. ”

'There is no personal vendetta between me and Alex Ferguson, I am not a selfish person, the team's wins are far more important than personal gains and losses. The most important thing for us now is to prepare for the game and fight the pitch as a team. ”

Ferguson and Dalglish are both Scottish, but the two are clearly not the same sentimental person.

When interviewing Alex Ferguson before the game, the reporter told an old story, in 1994, at the double red meeting six months after Ferguson led Manchester United to win the first Premier League title, Liverpool fans unfurled a banner at Anfield and sarcastically threatened to surpass Liverpool's Ferguson in the number of titles, "When you win your 18th league title, you will speak." ”

Now with just 10 games remaining, United are nine points clear of second-placed Chelsea and are close to securing a 19th league title, and Ferguson was asked if he would have hung the 'Manchester United 19th crown' banner in the Anfield stands if he were a United fan.

In response, the 70-year-old joked, "If we had won the championship and I was a regular fan, I would have hung that banner at Anfield myself." I bet at least 76,000 United fans would want to do that, but now we haven't won the title, even if it's nine points ahead, we can't say it's ours, so even if I'm a regular fan, I can't do that. ”

In the second league double red meeting of the season, Liverpool has changed dramatically from the first leg, the Reds' most troublesome Spanish striker Torres transferred to Chelsea, and the transfer fee of 50 million was exchanged for Carroll and Suarez, whom Dalglish liked.

Regarding this change, Ferguson said very unceremoniously that the strength of Carroll and Suarez is still some distance from Torres, and they still need time to prove themselves, and the Double Red Club is a bit too heavy for them, and Ferguson does not think that these two can decide the victory or defeat of the Double Red Club.

Ferguson's contempt made the Reds' new signing Suarez very unhappy, and Suarez also deliberately scolded Ferguson on Twitter, saying that he was no worse than Gao Xiaodong's football skills, and wanted to give Manchester United a little color in the game.

If Gerrard said this, Manchester United's players would definitely have to go back, but Suarez is really not a big name, and he transferred from the Eredivisie outside the top five leagues, and Manchester United did not pay attention to Suarez, which made Suarez, who thinks highly of himself, very hurt.
