Coupled with the fact that Arsenal is full of injuries, fans are in a panic, and the ten-point advantage may be wiped out after these three rounds.
The first 50-odd minutes of the game against Manchester United confirmed the media predictions that had been feared by Arsenal fans, and Manchester United not only led by two goals at the Emirates Stadium, but also controlled the tempo of the game.
After Arsenal's miraculous double goal, it didn't take long for the Arsenal fans to get excited before United took the lead again and kept the ball at their feet in the final minutes.
Seeing that the game was about to end, Chen Fan's actions surpassed everyone's phenomena, and he actually shot in his own half!
The unbelievable happened—the ball went in!
Arsenal miraculously equalised again, shattering Sir Alex Ferguson's dream of taking all three points at the Emirates Stadium.
Chen Fan's magic made Arsenal thrilling, passing the first pass of the devil's schedule, and Arsenal fans finally breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and they could spend this week comfortably.
As for next weekend...... Let's talk about it in time, maybe Chen can still lead Arsenal to create a miracle at Stamford Bridge!
For Arsenal's thrilling draw at home to Manchester United, the British media have praised Arsenal highly.
The Guardian's headline reads: Magical ultra-long lob, Chan saves Arsenal at the last minute and leaves Ferguson with regrets!
The headline of the Daily Mail reads: Magical lob, magical night, Arsenal equalise in the last minute!
The headline of the London Financial Newspaper reads: One Man, One City, Chan Defends London and Defends the Glory of the Emirates Stadium!
The headline of the London Life Herald reads: Classics always appear in the most critical moments, and the Flash saves Arsenal in critical moments!
……
Arsenal regrouped after a day off, with Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas already working with the whole squad and Eboue doing a recovery session alone on the sidelines!
There was a long-lost laughter at the training ground!
The fans watching the training from the sidelines were full of surprise!
So the next day, some London media reported the incident with such a headline: Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas returned from injury, and Arsenal pointed at Stamford Bridge!
The Guardian commented: According to reliable sources, a number of Arsenal's main players who have been absent due to injury have returned from injury, including Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas, who have been involved in the team's joint training!
This shows that they are likely to be in the starting line-up for the London derby against Chelsea at the weekend!
With their return, the atmosphere at the Arsenal training ground was relaxed and full of laughter!
Arsenal can finally use a more neat squad against a strong Chelsea!
The Times of London commented: Arsenal miraculously equalised in the last minute with Chen's successive passes, leaving Manchester United disappointed.
Manchester United failed to walk away the three points at the Emirates Stadium and failed to beat an incomplete Arsenal squad and missed their best chance to narrow the points.
Not only that, but thanks to Chelsea's victory, the Blues overtook them by one point and finished second in the table!
Manchester United slipped to third by one point!
Chelsea now have a nine-point gap with Arsenal and they will stage a London derby at Stamford Bridge this weekend. If Chelsea can win Arsenal at home, they will be able to close the gap to six points.
In that case, Chelsea will rekindle their title hopes!
Of course, Arsenal's ability to draw at home to Manchester United with a broken squad, and the return of the likes of Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas, could still make it possible for Arsenal to slip out of Stamford Bridge.
There is another highlight of the London derby at the weekend: can Chen continue his magic and maintain his high scoring rate against the big clubs?
It's all going to be revealed this weekend!
Let's wait and see!
The Daily Mail commented: Arsenal will face the second game of the devil's schedule this weekend against an in-form Chelsea side.
For Chelsea, it's the perfect moment to close the gap between the two teams and they certainly won't miss an opportunity like this.
Yesterday we spoke to Carlo Ancelotti, who has survived a crisis of confidence, and the Italian said: "There is no reason why we should not win at home to Arsenal.
Even if it weren't for the current situation, we would take the game against Arsenal very seriously and it's not a matter of defending home honours.
We're going to win on our home turf, and even if Arsenal are magical, we'll beat them! ”
Carlo Ancelotti's side have won four and drawn one of their last five games, surpassing Manchester United to move up to second in the table, and it's no wonder he's full of confidence.
However, with the miraculous draw at home to Manchester United, the return of Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas and other main players, Arsenal's morale has been greatly boosted.
Speaking to Arsene Wenger yesterday, the Frenchman said of the London derby at the weekend: "Our goal is to get out of Stamford Bridge and of course, if possible, I hope we can walk away with a win!"
Of course, that's quite difficult.
But we are confident that we will be able to get out of Stamford Bridge! ”
The Frenchman are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League this season, and even though most of their key players are out injured, they are still unbeaten thanks to Chen's excellent performances.
This weekend's race is definitely a big collision between Mars and Earth!
Chelsea will need to take advantage of the home win over Arsenal to close the gap, and Arsenal will be hoping to come out on top and continue their huge lead!
……
Before the game even started, the media was already moving, creating an atmosphere of big battle.
At this time, how can the media in Manchester City be willing to be lonely?
The Manchester Evening News said: Arsene Wenger's desire to get out of Stamford Bridge is undoubtedly a good wish, just a wish.
How could Chelsea let go of such a great opportunity to close the gap!
Speaking to Blues captain John Terry over the phone last night, the defender said: "There are media reports that the likes of Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas will be in action at the weekend, while others say that Arsenal will be stronger with their return.
But for us, whether they're all-main or semi-main, it's the same. We have only one goal, and that is to beat Arsenal and get all three points at home!
Some people think that Chen can continue to perform magically, but what I want to say is that since it is magical, it is not the norm, and we will let Chen do nothing! ”
The Blues captain is confident that they will defend their home honours.
Stamford Bridge?
What else is Arsenal doing besides magic?
Is it possible to get out of Stamford Bridge with magic?
