Manchester United's covetion of Liverpool's leading goalscorer Fernando Torres is no longer news, but Torres' move to Chelsea has also made Ferguson frustrated; Rooney and Berbatov are very good at the moment, but he needs a player who can completely upgrade Manchester United's forward line, Torres is what he likes very well, but the current slow can't compete with Chelsea.

The Premier League giants Liverpool officially announced that coach Roy Hodgson officially stepped down. Liverpool King Dalglish will be the acting head coach until the end of the season.

Last summer, Liverpool sent off former manager Rafael Benitez and officially appointed former Fulham boss Roy Hodgson as the Reds' new head coach on 1 July. Unfortunately, the best manager of the Premier League in the 09-10 season did not lead Liverpool to the road of recovery, but brought the Red Army to the point of no return, as of the 21st round of the Premier League, Liverpool only achieved seven wins, four draws and nine losses with one less game and a record of 25 points, ranking 11th in the standings. This ranking point almost deprives Liverpool of the opportunity to attack next season's Champions League, and is currently only five points more than vice-leader West Ham, and is even in danger of relegation!

So the current Arsenal are lucky, because they are constantly moving forward, because the current Arsenal is growing very fast. Although Arsenal are in some trouble now, but overall Arsenal is still improving, and they are still moving forward.

Xiao Qing was suspended, and at this time, Arsenal had to face the reality that the next thing was the lack of the strongest player in the strong dialogue like Manchester City. Although Arsenal is now at the top of the league standings, although this season's Arsenal has not tasted defeat so far, it is missing Xiao Qing. This seems to make Arsenal's players and fans feel uncertain; Because in previous competitions, Xiao Qing has repeatedly played well in such strong dialogues. Xiao Qing is also the confidence that Arsenal can ensure a strong counterattack in adversity in the game.

The 22nd round of the league will be the focus of the battle. Arsenal at home will be challenged by Manchester City, who are third in the table; Manchester City have not won away against Arsenal since October 1975, including a three-goal win away from home to the Gunners in the first leg this season; However, Manchester City have been in good form recently, not only winning three in a row but also losing only one in the last 11 rounds.

Arsenal are the main players in addition to the suspended Xiao Qing, and for Manchester City, Balotelli and David Silva are both absent with knee injuries, and Dzeko, who has just joined Manchester City, has been given the opportunity to partner Tevez up front.

At the start of the first half, Arsenal almost opened the scoring. In the second minute, Nasri split the ball down the middle to the left wing. Wilshere sent the ball to goal from a tight angle, Van Persie slid half a beat to make a sliding tackle, and Walcott's return near the baseline was disrupted. In the ninth minute, Van Persie fired a left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball hit the left post and bounced.

Arsenal relied on possession to still hold the initiative in the next ten minutes, although Xiao Qing was not on the field, but Arsenal performed quite well; In the 28th minute, Nasri crossed from the left flank, Cesc Fabregas fired a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball hit the left post and bounced to the far end. Walcott fired another shot and the ball bounced off the right post.

At this time, Arsenal fans really miss Xiao Qing very much, although Arsenal occupies the initiative in the game. But their ability to seize opportunities is too much to compliment; Arsenal have suppressed Manchester City, they have actually created a lot of good chances, but the quality of Arsenal's final shot is very average.

Arsenal basically dominated the game throughout the game, but they were unable to find the back of the net against Manchester City; Even the players have a bit of a change in mentality, they're impatient, the players can't stay calm at all.

In the 88th minute of the game, Arsenal defender Sagna and Manchester City defender Zabaleta clashed on the sideline, and the two leaned on their heads against the bull; As a result, the referee unceremoniously sent both men off before the conflict escalated, so the frustrated Arsenal received red cards in two consecutive games.

Arsenal drew with Manchester City, but such a result is acceptable to the fans; As Arsenal continue their unbeaten run, they continue to push strongly in the table.

In this round, the Blues take on Chelsea away at vice-league leaders Wolves. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Chelsea finally lost 0-1 away to Wolves in the league, causing the biggest upset of the round, and Wolves also got rid of the embarrassment of being at the bottom of the points with the victory of this game.

Manchester United beat Stoke City 2-1 at Old Trafford, with Hernandez and Nani scoring a goal each, helping the Reds to a seventh straight home league win as they now have just one defeat this season, but too many draws have left them on 41 points.

Compared to Arsenal's incredible 17 wins and five draws, Arsenal, who have already scored 56 points, Manchester United now have no hope of overtaking the Gunners in the standings. With a margin of fifteen points, Manchester United is basically desperate.

Arsenal without Xiao Qing is now performing very averagely, although their style of play is still gorgeous, but they lack enough sharpness, Arsenal is now lacking enough ability to seize opportunities. But fortunately, Xiao Qing is about to return from the ban, and he will soon be able to bring more help to Arsenal in the game.

At the end of the game, a key match in the third round of the FA Cup was played at the Emirates Stadium in north London, between Arsenal and former Premier League powerhouse Leeds United, who are now fifth in the Championship.

Wenger is still very confident in the face of the Championship team, the schedule during this period is too dense, so Wenger also has some rotation; As for Xiao Qing, he continued not to play at this time, because he needed to accumulate energy for the next Champions League knockout round.

But when Arsenal took the rotation, Arsenal, who were playing at home, was awarded a penalty in the 55th minute of the game because the defender Denilson tackled Leeds midfielder Gradel in the penalty area, so Arsenal was awarded a penalty, and then Leeds striker Snodgrass shot low to help Leeds lead Arsenal 1-0 away!

Everyone was dumbfounded, although Arsenal was rested in this game, including Xiao Qing, Fabregas and others, but the Arsenal lineup on the field was still good; But no one expected Arsenal to be incredibly behind at home in such a situation, and it was also a Championship team! Xiao Qing was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that this was the performance of his own team, and he couldn't believe that Arsenal, which had been invincible this season, was actually absolutely passive in this game.

This season's Arsenal are ambitious to go one step further than last season's double, but the real Premier League treble requires FA Cup glory; So Arsenal can't capsize in the gutter at this time, they need to explode at this time.

Cesc Fabregas came on, and Arsenal's poor performance made the team's rotation an empty talk, and Arsenal would even become a big talk after the game.

In the 88th minute, Walcott was tripped by Leeds defender Bruce in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty, but the linesman signalled that Bendtner was offside, and the referee changed the decision. In the 90th minute, Walcourt went down again in the box, this time by Leeds defender Parker and Arsenal were awarded a penalty and Cesc Fabregas then converted the ball.

Arsenal finally came back to life, and the two teams shook hands one by one in the game, but no matter how you look at it, this is a huge humiliation for Arsenal; You must know that Arsenal is invincible in the Premier League this season, although Xiao Qing is not there, but this is not the key, not to mention that Cesc Fabregas also played in the game.

Arsenal's lineup is undoubtedly far superior to the Leeds team, but in the game Arsenal did not have the slightest initiative, and even at the moment of the game, Arsenal was lucky to escape, which has to be said to be a huge blow to Arsenal. Although it is an indisputable thing that the schedule is too dense, the players on the field at that time are basically Arsenal's rotation players, and they don't have too many fitness crises.

Therefore, Arsenal's unbeaten league does not mean that Arsenal is invincible, although the current Arsenal has a very good record, but this is also a lot of potential shortcomings. Arsenal's squad has shortcomings, and Arsenal's squad depth is not enough; These are the constraints that limit Arsenal from going further, and if Arsenal want to get better, then they have to address these things.

Xiao Qing was also very depressed, originally he was looking forward to the team being on the right track, he was expecting the team to achieve better performance; But now it looks like Arsenal still has a long way to go, and Arsenal still has a lot to lose.

Although it is a blow to have two draws in a row, this is not absolutely bad news; Because these problems have allowed Arsenal to prepare and adjust earlier, they still have some time to keep moving forward, and they have enough time to improve.

For Arsenal, they have now exposed a lot of problems; It's time for Arsenal to make some moves in the winter transfer market, and they can't afford to be held back at this time because of some of the results they have achieved before, which are also the shortcomings hidden under the glossy appearance, and those are also the team's serious shortcomings now.

For Xiao Qing, he also got a rare adjustment time, and now he needs to burst out more powerful combat power in the next games to help the team win; The current Arsenal has not yet won the victory of Zuihou, whether it is Xiao Qing or Arsenal, they cannot have any complacency at this time.
