Arsenal, who played with 10 men, kept the score 2-0 until the end of the game.

It was an uphill battle, and Arsenal were able to win the game for a long time with less, which is a sign of their quality.

But at the same time, there were some problems that did expose in the game that Wenger could not be happy, and he even made up his mind in his heart that he would never let Cesc Fabregas and Vieira appear on the back line at the same time, and it was a fluke to win today, if Newcastle United only needed one point, then it is really unknown whether Arsenal can win by playing less and more.

Qin Xiong's return has put Arsenal fans in their hearts.

In the subtle change of mentality for most of the season, fans are also accustomed to Qin Xiong's strength when Qin Xiong is in the team, Arsenal's strength seems to be very stable and strong.

In his absence, even though Arsenal will not fall below the level of a notch all at once, the fluctuation of overall strength is still obvious.

Arsene Wenger has a lot of headaches.

Lehmann is suspended, Toure is going to the Africa Cup of Nations at the end of the month, Silva is still recovering from injury, and in the next game against Manchester United, Arsenal is missing three main players!

And Chelsea are still on a winning streak!

Jose Mourinho's side seem to be living up to his rhetoric: they won't give Arsenal any chance!

In the context of the lack of soldiers and young generals to recuperate and prepare for the focus of the game with Manchester United, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Wenger still sent a large number of substitutes and young players to play.

Against lower-division Brighton and Hove Albion, Arsenal won a thrilling win and eventually won 3-2 in a terrible match-up. Advance to the next round of the FA Cup.

Qin Xiong has kept up with the team's training rhythm this week. He was completely out of the trouble of injury. It can be regarded as a little comfort to Wenger, who is full of gloom in his heart.

Manchester United have been at a low point this season, and it can be seen that the age structure of their squad is not as reasonable as Arsenal's.

In Arsenal's main lineup, Qin Xiong is the youngest!

The only veterans over the age of 30 are Pire, Campbell and goalkeeper Lehmann, who is just over 30.

The 30-year-old Campbell and the veteran Lehmann, because of their defensive positions, are in the most reasonable and experienced physical condition.

Like Henry, Ljungberg, Vieira, Silva. Ashley Cole, Toure, Lauren, these main players are all at the peak of their competitive and physical condition!

The youngest Qin Xiong was able to grow so fast, which was inseparable from the stability of this team.

On the other hand, Manchester United, the 92 class and the captain Keane have all entered the 30-year-old mark, although the competitive state has not declined, but the physical state inevitably follows the development of the laws of football, among which the captain Keane's physical condition has declined most obviously, and the role he plays is so important.

And then like Cristiano Ronaldo. Young players like Wayne Rooney need to grow, and their stability is lacking. Fault tolerance is low.

Maybe for other teams, Manchester United's lineup is very powerful, but for the top giants, Manchester United's record and development plan, it can be said that they are in the trough, making necessary efforts for the next stage of take-off and explosion.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Even Manchester United in the trough, it is not far off, although Fleet Street does not think that Manchester United still has a chance to win the league this season, but Ferguson always insists that Manchester United still has a chance, and the gap between them and Arsenal and Chelsea has never been shortened to within 10 points, and now there are 11 points behind Arsenal and 13 points away from Chelsea!

Ferguson certainly doesn't want his players to be discouraged, and as long as there is a theoretical chance, he wants to motivate the players to try for a miracle, even if he himself understands that the chances of such a miracle coming to fruition are close to zero, but as long as the players work hard, it will make Manchester United stronger in the future.

Before the game, Fleet Street claimed that this was Manchester United's last chance to fight for the league title!

Only by beating Arsenal will they be able to keep their title hopes alive.

Manchester United wants to reverse Chelsea and Arsenal, and if they don't kill one in a direct conversation, they will suppress the morale of their opponents, so how can they achieve a reversal?

Do you expect Arsenal and Chelsea to make mistakes in a series of meetings with other opponents?

That's just whimsical.

Manchester United's last chance is this game!

can't win Arsenal, Ferguson will keep his mouth shut, don't say that Manchester United has a chance to reverse the London duo and win the throne!

February 2nd.

Arsenal and Manchester United are set to battle for the Premier League's pinnacle at Highbury.

No matter how much United trail Arsenal and Chelsea, they are at the top of the ranks on the battlefield in England and cannot be ignored.

Qin Xiong stood in the players' tunnel early, captain Vieira walked out of the locker room, came to the players' tunnel and walked straight to the side of Manchester United player Neville, Qin Xiong couldn't hear what he was saying, only saw Vieira chattering towards Neville with a cold expression, and Neville turned sideways as if he was dodging, not daring to talk directly to Vieira.

Probably the last time he played Manchester United in the league, Neville was out of the limelight, and he couldn't take care of Reyes's abusive life, which is why Vieira seemed to seek justice for Reyes before the game, but in fact he was interfering with Neville's on-the-spot play and exerting strong psychological pressure on the other side.

Qin Xiong watched from the sidelines, like the rest of his teammates, watching the show.

They are not surprised, to tell the truth, Vieira is one of the most aura captains of all the teams Qin Xiong has ever seen, there are many captains of top teams with strong aura, Maldini counts as one, Keane counts as one, Hyypia and Terry are relatively inferior, and like the captain Van der Vaart in Ajax in the past, ahem, Qin Xiong came to England only to find that Van der Vaart's captain was like a star on the catwalk, without a little blood!

Vieira walked forward contentedly after teaching Neville, the captain would stand at the front when he came out, he took a few sips of mineral water casually, chatted with the referee team, and his burly body made it impossible to ignore his aura.

At this time, Keane, the captain of Manchester United, came out of the dressing room one step back.

Upon learning that Neville had been "verbally educated" by Vieira, he immediately became furious and squeezed forward along the players' tunnel.

The referee team saw that something was wrong, and someone immediately stepped forward to block Keane.

Keane was less than 3 metres away from Vieira, with the assistant referee in between, and Keane pointed at Vieira and shouted.

"You're bullying him? It's kind of coming at me! I'll accompany you whatever you want to do! Don't think you're going to be lawless in Highbury, do you really think no one can clean you up? ”

The players of both teams did not participate in the dispute between the two captains, and they watched tacitly, but they were really warned by the FA and did not dare to make a mistake!

In the first half of the league at Old Trafford, the infamous "fast food battle" broke out after the game, and the FA warned both teams before the start of this game that if a similar team clash scandal broke out again, the consequences would be at their own risk!

And only pure tough guys like Vieira and Keane have the audacity to provoke right and wrong.

So it can't be said that Neville is a soft egg, but the game hasn't been played yet, and there was a conflict in the player tunnel first, Manchester United itself is in a low period of eventful times, and the energy should be more focused on competition to improve the strength of the team, if they are as mature as Arsenal, it can be said that the overall strength is at the peak, so do it casually!

Vieira ignored Keane and watched Keane verbally shout in an arrogant gesture, and it took a long time for the assistant referee to calm Keane down.

The players of both teams walked into Highbury Field under the leadership of the referee team.

The fans in the stands don't know what's going on in the players' tunnel, but they have their own wars, cheering for their own teams!

"In the 25th round of the Premier League, defending champions Arsenal host Manchester United, and this game is a must-win for both teams! Chelsea, who were the first to play, have continued their terrifying run with a reasonable 1-0 win on all three points at Blake itself! Arsenal is 5 points behind Chelsea with a game less, Manchester United is 16 points behind Chelsea, Arsenal must win this game in order to shorten the gap with Chelsea, and Manchester United must win in order to achieve the reversal in Sir Alex Ferguson's mouth, otherwise, Manchester United is 15 points or more behind Chelsea, 11 points or more behind Arsenal, how can they achieve a reversal of two opponents in the context of only 13 rounds of the league?
