Edward's side beat Manchester City 2-0 away from home and did not leave the Manchester region as they had to challenge Wigan Athletic here in the tenth round. Wigan, near the relegation zone, is clearly far from Manchester City, and considering that the team will face the 1/8 final of the EFL Cup after this game, Hydward made a small rotation, and those who were injured were all rested.

Alonso continued to start in place of Srna, with the Croatian not playing well with a foot injury and Ward was reluctant to let him play. Collingham and John Stones were in the squad and he wanted to pull them out to the test, while Goretzka started for the first time in the season after City's successful half-game.

Portsmouth played an asymmetrical 4321 formation designed to focus on Wigan Athletic's left flank, and it is no secret that they have conceded six goals down the left so far this season. Spanish coach Martinez is obsessed with 343, but this formation is really not something that a team aiming for relegation can control, the back 3 is known to have extremely high requirements for the two wingbacks, right-back McCarthy can still barely support, and on the other side, Boyce has a tendency to be broken.

In the end, the Pompey Army, who went out with a semi-main force, defeated Wigan Athletic with a clean 3-1.

Alonso, who started two games in a row, had a big breakout, making five of his seven attempts on the left flank, contributing a brilliant pass and a shot. The goal was particularly spectacular, as he latched on to Kevin De Bruyne's pass and slotted a left-footed goal into the far end. The shot was so beautiful, Alonso's passionate roar of the goal was matched with his confident eyes, long flowing hair, and a torso full of power, and the British media even joked that who is the striker between him and Berardi?

Portsmouth's two bebes, Belotti is getting better and better, with Brent's injury, he has secured the starting winger, and Berardi has become a problem because he has been in contact with professional football too late, and whether he can gain a foothold in the Premier League has become a problem. Of course, bad skills can be practiced, and the attitude must be there, and Berardi's bulldog-like spirit is appreciated by Portsmouth fans, which reminds them of Jamie Vardy.

In addition to this, Klose surprised by scoring in two consecutive games, and Ali also opened his own goal account.

After the game, on the first day of November, Portsmouth hosted the EFL Cup 1/8 final against Middlesbrough. Compared to Wigan, Myburgh put enough pressure on Pompey's legion.

Portsmouth opened the scoring through Belotti from the start of the game, but striker Miller equalised six minutes later. Antonio Rudiger then scored an own goal and Portsmouth, who were at the top of the Premier League, fell behind in the first half.

At the start of the second half, Klose scored an equaliser after breaking through the middle and swaying two pairs, followed by Miller, whose breakthrough caused a foul on Meunier and the team was punished with death. After the penalty was scored, Middlesbrough was even more imposing, and at the crucial moment Hydward repeated his magical substitution, Pierce replaced Goretzka to stabilize the rhythm of the midfield, and then Mustafi marked Miller, and finally Mane came on to score the final game, 3-2, Portsmouth reached the next round of the EFL Cup in an extremely exciting way.

………………..

At the end of October, the Premier League table has changed dramatically.

At the start of the ninth round, Chelsea's 22 points at the top of the table were still solid, but they couldn't shake off the chasers behind them, and this invisible pressure was very fatal. Ferguson's side beat Tottenham 2-4 away but lost 3-2 to experienced Manchester United in the ninth round, with Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres each receiving red cards, and Ferguson still asserting his sovereignty over the Premier League with his old arms waving. Speaking after the game, Ferguson said he wanted to wait until after Christmas to look at the standings.

This is his old trick - psychological warfare! Manchester United are the best team at stealing points for Christmas, a trick Kevin Keegan had had when he suffered this trick in 1996, shouting uncontrollably on live TV: "I love beating them!" I just love it! Di Matteo, who lost the game, was similar, and he retorted and talked about United's worrying age structure and player makeup, and the United legend quickly stepped forward to show respect to "him". Ferguson just laughed, this typical Ferguson-style victory had actually choked them by the throat!

This big battle put Manchester United in third place with 21 points from a wave of three consecutive wins.

Ferguson's smile was evident when Portsmouth were still playing Wigan Athletic in the 10th round, as United won 1-0 at home to arch-rivals Arsenal to the top, while Chelsea were crushed against Michu's Swansea City and relied on controversial penalties in exchange for a draw.

A small mistake from Chelsea dropped them straight to third in the table, one point behind Portsmouth, while Edward's side were on 24 points and second on goal difference.

Manchester City are stable in fourth place with 21 points, David Moyes' Everton is fifth with 17 points, and Arsenal are sixth with Fulham with 15 points. First and sixth, the difference between points came to 9 points, this year's Arsenal seems to have fallen into a strange state of winning and losing, Wenger's sigh is a few points more than in previous years, Van Persie's state is too hot, the general who was supposed to hug his thigh was hugged by Manchester United instead.

Conversely, the situation at the bottom of the table has also changed dramatically, with Southampton's change of manager like a change of knife, and Pochettino's three consecutive wins after taking charge to get out of the relegation zone to 13, two points above Liverpool. There are good mixed and there are bad mixed up, the elder Redknapp was removed from the Queens Park Rangers in the ninth round, and the reserve team head coach suffered a black start in his first game, and after ten rounds, only a measly four points are at the bottom and on the verge of relegation.

The penultimate is the Championship champion promoted Madedin, with three old guns and 0 goals in ten rounds, and the old guns in the Premier League have become three-bar broken guns and bad guns, which is something that no one imagined.

And then the third-to-last team in the relegation zone is Aston Villa, the Lions have a solid lineup, no matter how you look at it, they will not fall to the point of the relegation zone. It is really the off-field news that has seriously affected the team, the team's internal strife has been fully publicized, Sensibile is brewing a change of coach, and it is said that the new coach is everyone's favorite Sam Allardyce.

………………

At this time, there have been people leaving and people coming to the Premier League, coming and going, going and coming has always been the norm in this league, Tottenham and Liverpool are ranked outside the 10th place with 11 points, and what about a club that wants to change a coach? Even Chelsea, who have won all the way, and Spanish journalists thousands of miles away, are saying to Mourinho: "You are tired of watching, Jose. ”
