189. The battle for the league championship
At the end of the 34th round of the Premier League, Liverpool won 3-1 at their home stadium to get three points. Manchester United relied on their good fortune to beat Arsenal in the Zuihou moment, and also got three points.
Arsenal and Chelsea were not so lucky, with Arsenal being the most unlucky of all, they collapsed in the Zuihou moment and didn't get a point. Chelsea, on the other hand, were a bit careless as they failed to beat relegation rivals Wigan Athletic at their home stadium Stamford Bridge, drawing 1-1 with their opponents.
In this way, the round is over, and the gap between the top four is faintly widening. At the top of the Premier League table is still the Red Devils Manchester United, who now have 79 points. The Reds, on the other hand, are second in the league with 78 points, a one-point gap to Manchester United.
The gap between Manchester United and Liverpool has not changed, and with four rounds of league games remaining, Liverpool still have a very good chance.
Third place is now settled by Chelsea, who have risen one place in the league with 75 points, although the results in this round have not been satisfactory to them, but they have risen one place in the league with 75 points.
In this round of games, Chelsea had some problems, and it was a shame that they were not able to bite Manchester United and Liverpool. They are now four points clear of leaders Manchester United, two games.
With only four league games remaining, it will be very difficult for Chelsea to overtake Manchester United to win the Premier League this season.
Not to mention the Arsenal team now, Arsenal's defeat in this game has not increased the Arsenal team's points, they have 74 points, although they are also two goals away from Manchester United, but their chances are really not very much.
This is how often the game has so far, which is very frustrating for the Arsenal people. I thought that they would be eliminated from the Champions League and they would go all out to fight for the league title and become the strongest contenders for the league title. Well, now they're the furthest team away from the Premier League title in the last four, and that's a stroke of providence.
At this time, Arsenal almost missed out on the Premier League title this season, and Arsenal seemed to be the first to withdraw from the Premier League title race. It seems that the Arsenal team is going to be scoreless again this season.
The Arsenal fans are sad, and the Arsenal players are also very bitter in their hearts, and some guys even have the idea of leaving the Arsenal team, such as Hleb, Gallas, Lehmann and others, they all want to leave here.
However, at this time, Arsenal manager Arsène 61 Wenger did not give up, because the other three teams still have Champions League losses, he does not believe that this will have no impact on these three teams, this will be their Arsenal team to burst into the picture.
The next round of the league is the best time to test it, because after this round of matches, the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League will begin. At this time, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United will be thinking about next week's Champions League in midweek and will have reservations for this round of fixtures, which is their Arsenal chance.
In the 35th round of the league, Liverpool will take on Fulham away, Manchester United will take on Blackburn Rovers away, Chelsea will take on Everton away and Arsenal will play Reading at home.
Obviously, none of the Premier League three will be easy to play, and Liverpool's opponent is Fulham. Now Fulham are really fighting for relegation. Fight it. At this time, they Fulham are any team that dares to do it, and they dare to die, because they have reached the moment of life and death.
Liverpool are going to play against this relegation team, and Liverpool will certainly not win easily. Moreover, at this time, Liverpool will still be reserved for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final in three days' time, so Fulham has a good chance of causing an upset on the road.
Manchester United's opponents, Blackburn, are not relegation teams, but this team is now challenging for next season's UEFA Cup qualification, and at this time, they will definitely go toiled with Manchester United. Blackburn Rovers are much better than Fulham, and in the eyes of the outside world and the Arsenal people, Manchester United have a better chance of losing than Liverpool.
Then there's Chelsea, whose opponents are Everton. Although Everton no longer have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League qualification is not particularly insured, so it is clear that Everton will fight Chelsea in this game.
Chelsea will obviously have reservations as they face Liverpool in midweek, and if they don't, there is a good chance that Chelsea will not be able to compete with Liverpool, so there is a lot of danger in this game.
Therefore, the top three teams have a very big crisis, and this is the opportunity for the Arsenal team, and the Arsenal people hope to seize this opportunity, take the opportunity to rise to the top, step by step, go to Zuihou, and win the league title.
The opponent of the Arsenal team in this round is also the Reading team from the relegation zone, but the Arsenal team is undoubtedly the weakest of the top four opponents in the Premier League, and the Arsenal team does not have the burden of the Champions League, they will go all out to impact the league championship and play against the Reading team, the Reading team cannot compete with the Arsenal team at all, and they Arsenal team won this game.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been retained for the 35th round of this season's Premier League, and the Arsenal are not mistaken, as they prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in three days' time.
However, even so, they think they will win their opponents and will not give the Arsenal man a chance. The fans and players of all three teams are very confident that they will win this game, and you will definitely not have a chance with the Arsenal men.
Liverpool played Fulham away from home, and Fulham did show the momentum of a relegation team from the beginning, they are now on the brink of hell, what could be more terrible? At this point, what reason do they have not to fight?
Fulham are desperate to attack, they are just trying to get three points against Liverpool and secure their relegation journey.
However, even the semi-main Liverpool were not something Fulham could compete with, and in the 19th minute of the first half, Liverpool scored a goal by Dutch winger Babel, who cut inside the box and volleyed directly after a quick walk down the wing.
After Liverpool scored this goal, the Fulham team became even more crazy, they just want to fight Liverpool, they will not accept defeat so easily, they are attacking, crazy attacking, ferocious attacking.
However, such a ferocious attack did not bring them goals, but brought them a big crisis. Liverpool's counter-attacks threatened the Fulham goal on several occasions, much to the horror of the Fulham fans at home.
Finally, in the middle of the 20th half of the game, the Liverpudlians scored another goal to seal the victory once and for all. The goal was scored by England striker Peter 61 Crouch, who picked up Qiu in the box and shook off Fulham's centre-back and goalkeeper to send the ball into the empty net.
2-0, Liverpool won away at Fulham and continued to steam ahead without a gutter overturn. This result made Arsenal fans very unhappy, they wanted to let Liverpool's opponent become their Arsenal at that time, and they wanted to teach Liverpool a good lesson about the damn garbage.
However, Arsenal did not fail to get good news, and the good news is that Manchester United, who are top of the league, did not withstand the pressure. Manchester United did not win away at Blackburn Rovers and are tired of the Champions League in midweek next week.
In this game, Manchester United fielded almost a pure substitute line-up, as their opponent in the Champions League semi-finals was La Liga side Barcelona, and they had to prepare well for three days' time, so many of Manchester United's main players in this game were not even reported.
Originally, Alex 61 Ferguson thought that their Manchester United team would be able to take out Blackburn Rovers even if they sent a substitute line-up. However, Blackburn have been in excellent form at home, drawing 1-1 at home to Premier League leaders Manchester United thanks to a goal from their top scorer St 61 Cruise.
The biggest beneficiary of this result is not Arsenal, but Liverpool. Because with the victory in this round, Liverpool will regain the top spot in the league.
At the end of this round, Liverpool surpassed Manchester United and topped the Premier League with 81 points. The Red Devils, on the other hand, now sit second in the league with 80 points after the draw in this game.
In this round of games, although Chelsea also have reservations, they are semi-main players. However, Everton's desperate bunch lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea, giving Chelsea three points and continuing to lead Arsenal in third place with 78 points.
Arsenal, on the other hand, easily defeated relegation team Reading 2-0 in this round. Arsenal now have 77 points and are temporarily fourth in the league.
Arsenal are still just one point clear of Chelsea, three points clear of Manchester United and four points clear of Liverpool.
Arsenal are still two games away from the league title, and now they are getting further and further away from the league title. Because now there are only three rounds left in the league, and in the three rounds of Zuihou, it is simply too difficult to recover four points, and there is no chance left.
Now the outside media believe that Arsenal have been eliminated from the championship group. In fact, in the eyes of the outside media, even Chelsea has been eliminated from the championship group, and it is very difficult, almost impossible for them to surpass Liverpool in three rounds, and the Premier League title will obviously be produced between Manchester United and Liverpool.
