With more than 50,000 people, the Etihad Stadium is almost full, and the live studio at Sky Sports is bustling with activity.

Super Sunday, Sky Sports' ace Premier League live broadcast, was chosen specifically for this one rather than the later Chelsea and Manchester United clash of the red and blue because of the high chance of setting a new record in the ratings for this game.

Because the viewership from overseas, especially the Chinese market, contributes more than 100 times the viewership of the UK.

Although the ratings in the UK will also hit a new high, they are far less than the huge Chinese football population.

Therefore, in order to do a good job in this show, Sky Sports specially invited Martin Taylor, the famous name who almost disappeared from the silver screen due to his age, and Kate Abdo, a temperamental beauty host who can speak four Chinese languages from Sky Sports Germany, and the two formed the hosting partner of this game for the first time.

In terms of guests, there are also a lot of guests, but their backgrounds are also quite intriguing, with Gunners legend Thierry Henry, Liverpool legend Jamie Redknapp, Manchester United legend Gary Neville, and Alan Pardew who joined Sky Sports as a special guest this season.

In addition to Pardew and Redknapp Jr., Henry is the opponent of the owner of the stadium in this game, Neville is the rival of the city, and the line-up arranged by Sky Sports is indeed very eye-catching, and it is said that during the pre-match analysis, the local and overseas ratings are rising, and many businesses call to insert ads temporarily.

In addition to Sky Sports, Huaguo's Old English Sports, Pippi Video, and Penguin Video have launched the strongest lineup to comment, among them, Zhan Yingjun, who is known as the first person to commentate on the English Premier League in Huaguo, originally commented on Chelsea and Manchester United, and was transferred back to this game by Pippi Video, which shows the importance attached to this game.

In order to prevent hydrology, the author will put the main commentary on Sky Sports.

"Mr. Taylor, what do you think of Wall's remarks yesterday?" Abudo, a beautiful student with a temperament, threw out a more sensitive topic.

Taylor lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said indifferently: "No matter what he says, the game has a result, no matter who it is, he will be responsible for what he said." ”

"Mr. Taylor means that Wall is going to lose this bet?"

Taylor smiled, did not answer Abdo's question, and said to the four guests: "The starting lineups of both sides are out, what do you think?" ”

In front of the veteran Taylor, even the arrogant Pardu has to be respectful.

"Arsenal are going to play against Manchester City, hehe, who gave them the courage?" Pardew smiled, clearly not optimistic about Arsenal.

Neville looked at his old opponent Henry, who had a bad face, and said roundly: "Football is round, as long as the game is not over, everything is possible." ”

Pardew said contemptuously: "I don't need to say more about the statistics of Arsenal and Manchester City, just say that every position, except for Ozil, Sanchez and Lacazette, even if it is Cech, his state at this age can no longer be compared with before." Now that Ozil and Sanchez are not playing, look at this set of starters, Arsenal is completely blown out by Manchester City in all aspects. There is no need to play this game, the results are already out. ”

Henry's heart was on fire, and he didn't think much about it, and blurted out, "Mr. Pardu, how about a bet?" ”

Except for Taylor, who sat there calmly watching the play, Pardu frowned slightly, and the rest looked at Henry in surprise.

Is there any mistake, your old club's descendant Tan Xibi bet with the uncrowned kings, and you bet in front of so many spectators that the gunmen like to gamble?

Redknapp opened his mouth, but was touched by Neville, who looked at him and saw Neville shaking his head slightly at him.

Pardew has always been at odds with Arsenal, especially with Arsène Wenger, and everyone here knows that.

Now that Pardu and Henry have lit a fire, no one else should get involved, lest they harm the fish in the pond and burn themselves.

What's more, this is a live broadcast, the audience is watching, let these two people fight, anyway, if the audience is angry afterwards, they will send it to them.

"Hehe, if you dare to bet, I'll take it. Say it, bet on what. Pardu sneered.

"As long as Man City doesn't win, you lose. After the game, you're going to bow here and say I'm sorry, I was wrong. ”

Pardu's eyes narrowed, this Frenchman is really cunning, as long as it is a draw, he will lose.

In other words, City will only win the bet if Padue wins.

Although Henry is out for his old club, he also keeps an eye on it, and he also knows that Manchester City has a neat personnel this season, and the tactics are basically honed, whether it is the state or the overall strength, I am afraid that the entire Premier League is unbeatable.

Just like Josep Guardiola's Barcelona and Bayern Munich, as long as his team enters its peak, it is basically a lonely defeat and an invincible opponent in the league.

That's why he preemptively made the bet that as long as Arsenal don't lose at the Etihad, he wins.

It can be said that Henry accounted for two of the three results of the game, but despite this, the risk is still very high, after all, Manchester City's home stadium has too much chance of winning.

In front of everyone's eyes, especially in the case of live broadcasting, how could Pardu retreat and agree to the bet on the spot.

"I'd like to see how your Arsenal can win without Mesut Ozil and Sanchez." Pardu said to himself.

Manchester City, who are playing at home, have sent their strongest squad except for captain Vincent Kompany and left-back Benjamin Mendy, who has been brought in heavily this summer, who are still recovering from injuries.

Goalkeeper: No. 31 Ederson

Defenders: No. 2 Kyle Walker, No. 5 John Stones, No. 30 Nicolas Otamendi, No. 18 Fabian Delph

Defender: No. 25 Fernandinho

Midfielders: No. 21 David Silva (c), No. 17 Kevin De Bruyne

Wingers: Raheem Sterling No. 7, Leroy Sane No. 19

Forward: Sergio Aguero

Subs: Claudio Bravo No. 1, Danilo No. 3, Eliaquim Mangala No. 15, Ilkaj Gundogan No. 8, Yaya Toure No. 42, Bernardo Silva No. 20, Gabriel Jesus No. 33

Although from the perspective of positioning, Manchester City seems to be 433, but Fernandinho, as a single midfielder, obviously stands behind, so Manchester City's actual formation is 4123.

Josep Guardiola was a bit of a surprise when he was offered Arsenal's starting line-up, but he decided to keep things the same.

It's not that he underestimates Arsenal, but he needs to observe the opponent's new formation through the game to make adjustments accordingly.

With Arsenal coming here, daring to line up in an attacking formation, and a surprising starting line-up, Guardiola doesn't know much about Arsene Wenger's intentions.

Could it be that Arsenal, who doesn't have two thighs, still dares to play against my team?
