With Manchester United winning the 2017/18 Premier League title two rounds ahead of schedule, the final two rounds have become unimportant warm-up games for the Reds with the FA Cup and Champions League finals to come.

Manchester United's 31st round of replay is contested at the London Stadium against former Red Devils boss David Moyes' West Ham United.

David Moyes took over at West Ham United halfway through the game on 7 November last year, when the team was still deep in the relegation zone. However, although West Ham United are now struggling out of the relegation zone, the club's hierarchy is still quite unhappy with Moyes, and it is likely that Moyes will be sacked at the end of the season.

Although this game is his "former predecessor", Mourinho does not pay attention to it, just look at the starting lineup of Manchester United in this game - it is rare for the Red Devils to stand in front of the goal, but Romero, who is very likely to be the starting goalkeeper of Argentina this summer, the two wings of the back line are Blind Jr. and Darmian, and the middle of Rojo is also the team's back choice.

In midfield, Carrick and McTominay, who are still determined to sit on the bench, and Mata, Herrera and Fellaini, who have not played much, made a rare joint start today, while the Red Devils' forward line is still the substitute Giroud.

And many of the Red Devils' main players, including Dai Zhiwei, Pogba, and Nemanja Matic, were not included in the Red Devils' 18-man squad for this game at all.

Before the game, Mourinho also specifically asked Dai Zhiwei if he wanted to play, after all, he still hopes to hit the miracle of 50 goals in a single season in the Premier League with 46 goals in the league, but he chose to refuse, after all, there is still more time in the future.

There wasn't much to write about in this game, and the two teams drew 0-0.

A week later, the 2017-18 Premier League season came to a close. Manchester United host Watford before David De Gea received the Premier League Golden Glove award for the season.

It must be noted that the captain of the Red Devils, Michael Carrick, has his last game for Manchester United!

Although Manchester United still has FA Cup finals and Champions League finals after that, with Carrick's current level, it is almost impossible to get the opportunity to play, so this game has become Carrick's farewell match.

United broke the deadlock in the 34th minute when Michael Carrick's pinpoint long pass from the back in the final game of his career, Juan Mata's offside position was successful, and he selflessly distributed the ball to Dai Zhiwei on the side, who easily pushed the empty net into the score, which was also his 47th goal in the league this season!

After scoring the goal, Dai Zhiwei also lifted his jersey with the words "Come on, Alex!" We're always with you! ”

Just 5 days ago, Ferguson was hospitalized for cerebral hemorrhage, and although he is now out of danger, he is still concerned by every Red Devil fan!

Although Dai Zhiwei has not had much contact with Ferguson since joining Manchester United, he can feel the elder caring for him every time.

In the 85th minute, Mourinho replaced Carrick with Pogba, and the more than 70,000 fans at Old Trafford gave a standing ovation!

In the end, Manchester United beat Watford 1-0 in the final Premier League game.

Just like Carrick's low-key way of playing, his farewell speech after his farewell game at Manchester United was extremely concise, but between the lines, you can still feel Carrick's love for Manchester United and his hopes for the future.

First of all, Carrick would like to thank the fans: "I think I'll be brief, on behalf of the players, the staff and the coach, thank you for your unconditional support, we've had some ups and downs this season, but we've won the league and we have two more competitions to fight for. Also, I want to say thank you to all of you for your support over the past 12 years. During these 12 years, I have many memories to cherish, this is the greatest club in the world. ”

Carrick then thanked his family: "I've been playing football a little bit longer than I've been for 12 years, I want to thank my family and friends who have supported me behind the scenes, I've sacrificed a lot as a player, I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me, I want to say thank you here. ”

Finally, Carrick also spoke about Ferguson, who is currently in hospital: "We all know that the last week has been a difficult one for the club, Sir Alex Ferguson has been a big part of the club, he has had a difficult week and we all wish him a speedy recovery and I think he will thank you for your concern and greetings. We hope that in the near future he will be able to sit up and I would like to thank the coach for giving me an incredible opportunity. I look forward to continuing to learn from him and working closely with him, I am sure that he will teach me something and I am sure that we will have some success in the future." Finally, we'll do everything we can to bring the FA Cup back here next week! ”

With Carrick's retirement, all of United's starting eleven who won the Champions League on a rainy night in Moscow in 2008 have left.

His retirement undoubtedly represents the end of an era for Manchester United, and the Red Devils, who are getting back on track, will re-challenge for the top honours under Jose Mourinho!

After the end of the Premier League, the final attraction of English football will be the FA Cup final, which will stage a classic "red and blue" matchup, with the 12-time FA Cup winner Red Devils Manchester United taking on the seven-time FA Cup champion Chelsea!

The Red Devils and Blues have faced each other twice in FA Cup history. The most recent was in 2006/07, when Chelsea beat Manchester United 1-0 in extra-time. Further back is the story of the 1993/94 season, when the Red Devils thrashed Chelsea 4-0.

This is another narrow road encounter, and it is worth looking forward to who will die of the deer!

Chelsea finished fifth in the Premier League this season and missed out on next season's Champions League. The FA Cup final will be the last and only trophy that Chelsea can compete for this season. This will also be the biggest motivation for the Blues.

But Conte's gradual loss of control in the dressing room will be the most unpredictable factor. Chelsea have reached the final 13 times in FA Cup history, having won seven previous titles, and if they can beat Manchester United in the early hours of May 20 May, it will be Chelsea's eighth title.

It will also help Chelsea catch up with Tottenham and finish joint third in the FA Cup.

Unlike Chelsea, the FA Cup is not the Red Devils' last resort, but they are two steps away from replicating the treble, so Jose Mourinho will have to lead the Reds to the title or it will be another season that will be unsatisfactory for the fans.

In the face of his old club, Mourinho will never be relentless!

However, due to the conservative style of play of both teams and the fact that it is a single-game final, both sides may adopt a solid defensive strategy in the opening stage of this game, and will not invest too much troops in attack, so as to avoid being found by the opponent to find a leak in the defensive line and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Therefore, the absolute chances of scoring in this game are not estimated to be many, and more interceptions will be made in the midfield, and the opponent's defense is not yet in position to quickly hand over to the frontcourt players to attack, at this time the individual ability of the frontcourt stars of both sides and the ability to grasp the opportunity are particularly important.

And the most powerful weapon under Mu Shuai is Dai Zhiwei, who has just beaten the entire Premier League football this season!

Finally, the coaches of both sides will be a highlight in the arrangement of troops and on-the-spot scheduling, and it will also be a key to affect the trend of the game.

Soon the FA Cup final was upon us as Manchester United fans were still basking in the joy of winning the Premier League trophy.

At the new Wembley Stadium, FA President Lord Tresman accompanied former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan to meet with coaches and players from both sides before the game, and a young boy who looked a little ugly and freckled in the eyes of Tai Chi-wai sang the British national anthem before the game.

United lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Mesut Ozil, Dai Chi Wai and Marcus Rashford forming the trident, with Olivier Giroud on the bench. Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba are in midfield.

Chelsea were led by Romelu Lukaku in front, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas in ambush, and Moses and Marcos Alonso on the wings.

Chelsea line-up –

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois

Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, Toni Rudiger

Midfielders: Moses, N'Golo Kante, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Marcos Alonso

Forwards: Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas

Striker: Romelu Lukaku

Manchester United line-up –

Goalkeeper: David De Gea

Defenders: Valencia, Bailly, Chris Smalling, Ashley Young

Midfielders: Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Pogba

Forwards: Mesut Ozil, Dai Zhiwei, Rashford

"Are you alright, Dai?" Ozil couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw Dai Zhiwei's ugly face.

"It's fine!" Dai Zhiwei waved his hand weakly, Carla Dilevue had completely finished filming at the end of last month, and she and Dai Zhiwei, who returned to England at the beginning of the month, seemed to have returned to a sweet period, but until an incident once again destroyed the harmony maintained between the two-

Just yesterday, Carla Divei went out to play with his fox friends the night before, Dai Zhiwei naturally broke out, and the cold war between Carla Divei lasted from yesterday noon to this evening, and the two had another quarrel on the phone.

When they came to the players' tunnel, except for Dai Zhiwei, who was still a little sulky, the atmosphere between the players of the two teams gradually became a little solemn, and the players on both sides seemed to be holding back their strength and wanted to fight with their opponents on the field.

Both Manchester United and Chelsea players were scrubbing their gear, sometimes whispering to themselves and praying before the game.

The atmosphere before the big war made everyone nervous involuntarily, and Dai Zhiwei was also relieved of that suffocating feeling at this time, and his expression became serious.

The atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium was particularly lively today, with the fans cheering more than usual. Even Tottenham Hotspur did not have so many fans in the knockout round of the Champions League, which shows that the FA Cup title is still very heavy in the hearts of fans.

The stadium commentator was also like a chicken blood today, howling vigorously, luring the fans to go crazy, and the game had not even started, it was already high-tide.

Valencia picked the ball on the edge and he immediately felt the watchful gaze of his opponent, with Blues captain Gary Cahill's eyes wide as if he wanted to find something in Valencia's eyes.

Valencia smiled, and asked for the ball, so he was about to use the attacking tactics, and he shook hands with the referee and left.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Dai Zhiwei rushed forward with the ball, and the Chelsea players did not panic, and immediately implemented a siege tactic against him, which was a tactic arranged by Conte early on.

Dai Zhiwei walked between the three Chelsea players unhurriedly to protect the ball, staggering left and right and constantly making feints, the Chelsea players were anxious to grab the football at his feet, and finally Cesc Fabregas imposed a tactical foul on him.

If Fabregas is really allowed to succeed, Dai Zhiwei's breakthrough with the ball this time will become a joke.

He flicked the ball with his right foot and stabbed the ball into Mesut Ozil, who was following up on the right flank, and Cesc Fabregas was a step slower at his feet, and the siege failed completely.

Mesut Ozil broke through quickly after winning the ball, using the nimble dribbling at his feet to constantly try to break through inside.

However, Alonso was very steady, did not give Ozil any chance to break through, blocked the line of the inchement, and constantly pressed Ozil, forcing him to break through from the touchline.

"Here!" Suddenly a voice sounded beside Ozil.

Without hesitation, Mesut Ozil slammed his heel and the ball slipped between Alonso's legs, who couldn't react and missed it.

Dai Zhiwei, who quickly stepped forward, comfortably received the football, and without waiting for Moses to tackle it on the side, he pushed again with his left foot, and Ozil, who used his speed to shake off Alonso, successfully received the football in front of the penalty area.

At this time, Cesc Fabregas, who had returned to the back line to fill in the position, hurriedly blocked Ozil, but saw Ozil's left foot, and suddenly shot after the ball laterally.

The ball drifted in a noticeable arc in the air towards the left-hand post of Chelsea.

Courtois flew in front of Chelsea but couldn't touch the ball, which hit the post hard and bounced off the pitch.

“goooooooooooal？ Oh my God, what a shame, less than a minute after the kick-off, United hit the post. It was just not too lucky, and it bounced back into the field to be cleared by Chelsea. In the live broadcast room, Lineker's high voice stopped abruptly as if someone had suddenly choked his neck.

United gave their opponents a blow from the start, leaving the Chelsea players gasping for breath from the start, and Mesut Ozil's strike stunned them, even after the football was cleared, they still had lingering palpitations.

At this point, the Blues players no longer had the composure they had before the game.

"We will also play according to the pre-game deployment, don't be afraid, and give full play to our advantages!" Gary Cahill, who wore the captain's armband on his arm, loudly comforted his team-mate.

After hearing Gary Cahill's words, the Chelsea players' mood finally calmed down.

The next thing is still Manchester United to control the attack, the Chelsea players carefully guard their own half, staring at Manchester United's attack, very seriously following their own Manchester United players, once Dai Zhiwei in the front court gets the ball, there will always be two or three people coming forward to surround him.
