The Etihad Stadium, where the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals was staged.

Mancini stood on the sidelines with a blank face.

He also cursed yesterday that the three Liverpool stars heading to the Ballon d'Or had better be overly excited and drain their energy on the celebrations.

But I didn't expect that Coman not only let Qin Xiong, Alonso, but also Gerrard, who returned from ban, play at the same time today!

And the three stars are alive and well on the field, and there is no sign of fatigue at all.

Manchester City's strength plummeted because Yaya Toure was called up to play in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Although De Jong's defence at the back is also reliable.

However, without Yaya Toure's tandem front and back attack, Manchester City's attacking core David Silva was targeted by Liverpool, and Manchester City's attack was disorganized.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are able to keep the pressure on their opponents with less defensive pressure!

The last time they visited the Etihad Stadium was at the beginning of the month, and Liverpool were unable to conquer the stadium due to the fact that their fitness was almost exhausted in December.

In today's Carabao Cup, Liverpool went all out to attack, beating Manchester City by two goals away in 90 minutes thanks to goals from Qin Xiong and Steven Gerrard!

With a two-legged home and away clash in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Liverpool had the lead to advance to the final.

The other semi-final was between two underdogs, with Crystal Palace winning 1-0 at home to Cardiff City.

In addition to Qin Xiong's shine on the international stage this month, the biggest news in the Premier League is the news that Gunners King Thierry Henry has returned to Arsenal on loan from Major League Soccer for a short period of time.

However, after the 21st round of the Premier League, Henry made a lot of negative news.

First, Arsenal lost 2-3 away to Swan Sea Swansea.

This is the fuse of everything.

After the defeat to Swansea, Henry got into a clash with a Gunners fan who was abusive at Arsenal.

Arsenal were beaten 3-2 by Swansea City after scoring the first goal and after the game, Henry led the Arsenal players to thank the 2,000 Gunners fans who travelled to Wales with the team, only to be angered by an insulting Gunners fan who insulted Arsenal.

Thierry Henry not only yelled at the Arsenal fan, but also gestured: "It's kind of come to me. ”

A little later, Thierry Henry apologized to Arsenal fans via The Sun.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Henry admitted that he had lost his cool.

"I was shocked and disappointed by everything that happened on Sunday, not just the result. After the referee blew the final whistle for that very tough game, I insisted that the whole team go and give the Arsenal fans a round of applause. When I got to the stands of our own fans, I couldn't believe it was one of them who was insulting the whole team.

What I want to tell the fans is that we need their support, not verbal abuse. It's understandable to have emotions, but there may be better ways to express them. Therefore, I am willing to be the first to stand up and apologise for using inappropriate language, especially to the Arsenal fans. I didn't use malicious or threatening words, but I realized that I should take a calmer approach.

This club has had some great moments, but the important thing is that we are still close together. When the team is in the good phase, we need your support, but in the bad phase, your support is more important to the team. Let's focus on Sunday's game against Manchester United and try to get the three points and get the season back on track. ”

It seems that after Van Persie's dumb fire, the "return" of Thierry Henry, the king of the guns, could not bring Arsenal victory consistently.

Manchester United were on a solid three points at Old Trafford to beat a Bolton Wanderers they hated 3-0.

Chelsea announced their first signing of the winter transfer this week with the signing of England international centre-back Gary Cahill as a way to bolster the backline.

Then in the 21st round of the league, Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge and won 1-0 at Sunderland.

Manchester City's match against Liverpool was the latest, and Manchester City came away to face Wigan Athletic, which was also a hard-fought battle, but in the end, with an assist from David Silva, Dzeko beat Wigan Athletic.

Liverpool host Stoke City, who are fully defending.

Having just exended a lot of energy in the Carabao Cup, Liverpool did not perform well enough at home, the team's overall speed dropped significantly, and there were too many mistakes, and finally failed to conquer Stoke City's fortress, drawing 0-0 with Stoke City at home.

After 21 rounds, Manchester City caught up with Liverpool again, and they had a better goal difference than Liverpool, thanks to their crazy winning streak in the first half of the season and the accumulation of more than three goals of goal difference.

Manchester City managed to reclaim the top spot by three more goal difference than Liverpool.

Manchester City 48 points.

Liverpool 48 points.

Manchester United 47 points.

Chelsea 40 points.

Arsenal 36 points.

Finally, there is a week of rest and adjustment time, and the whole Liverpool team can take a breath, and then sound the alarm bell of the body and start a new round of devilish fixtures!

Liverpool's schedule is under pressure that no one else can imagine!

By December, they had played one more game than any other team in the Carabao Cup qualification.

However, the consumption of the Club World Cup in December, combined with the League Cup in January and the FA Cup, made it difficult for them to have a good rest and adjustment.

Coman did his best to rotate the squad, but the cost was also obvious, otherwise Liverpool would definitely not be in the table with Manchester City at the beginning of the table, and there is definitely a chance to get rid of Manchester City.

In the 22nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Bolton Wanderers as a guest.

The team was at its best, and with Suarez fresh out of injury, Koeman put him on the bench for safety.

Qin Xiong took on the burden of scoring goals.

With the efforts of the whole team, Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick with an overhead kick at Reebok Stadium to help the team beat Bolton Wanderers 4-1 away to take all three points.

In another key game in the same round, Manchester City played the heat at the Etihad Stadium until the fifth minute of injury time, Balotelli miraculously scored a stunner to help Manchester City beat Tottenham 3-2 to take all three points.

Although Liverpool is still suppressed by Manchester City in the standings, the gap on goal difference has narrowed to 1 goal.

Chelsea's record remains shaky, with Fernando Torres still in a slump of form away at promoted Manovic City, missing two great chances and conceding a 0-0 result on the road.

The highlight of the round will be at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal host the Red Devils Manchester United!

Arsenal want to fight for a return to the Champions League, the Red Devils and Manchester United want to fight for the title, and both teams can't afford to lose this game! (To be continued.) )
