The first round of the Premier League played very exciting, so that the fans were addicted, the only fly in the ointment is that they were not able to pull the four giants down, according to the situation at the time, in fact, Liverpool and Arsenal won very reluctantly, Aston Villa and Fulham only need to hold on for one more minute, the result of the game is different. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With such a first round, fans have reason to expect more from the second round.

The opponents in the second round of the Premier League semi-finals are all some middle-to-upper teams with good strength, and the semi-finals will soon accept the test of the "rich" new forces of the Premier League after encountering a not perfect start. The Final Four are not having a good time

Manchester United's opponent is Portsmouth, which is also a team that has been bought by foreign investors, and his owner is a wealthy Russian man, although he cannot drink Ab Bu, but he is also very rich.

Manchester United were held to a draw by Reading in the first round, while Portsmouth were held to a draw by promoted clubs, with both teams having some defeats in the last round.

With a bad start and both teams looking to turn things around in the second round, this matchup is clearly not going to be easy, and it will never be harmonious.

Portsmouth's secondary defence has a typical anti-United character, with Campbell and Lauren working together at Arsenal for many years, Distin was at the heart of City's defence before he arrived, and goalkeeper James also played for Manchester City for many years.

Manchester United's forwards were unfavorable in the first round before being held to a draw by Reading, and this time the opponent's defence was all former enemies, and the outcome was really difficult to predict.

Chelsea are going to play Reading who just drew Manchester United this time, Hunt of Reading almost kicked Cech to death last time, and Hunt of the last round was also crazy, in addition to running all over the field as always, and went to provoke Manchester United's goalkeeper, it seems that the temperament is really difficult to change. Fans will surely keep their eyes open to see what happens between Petr Cech and Hunt.

Reading are a well-organised, archetypal English team, particularly in defending the flanks, with several of United's world-class wingers failing to open up the situation. The key to Chelsea's victory depends on whether striker Drogba gives it or not.

Arsenal and Newcastle are two of the most influential teams in English football and are destined to be a thrilling match. Judging from the performance of the last round, Arsenal's pace without Henry has not yet been adjusted to the best, and the winning luck component is very large, and Newcastle is in very good shape, sweeping Bolton Wanderers 3-1 in the last game to the surprise of many people, Martins, who scored twice, is in good shape, and this one must be a dragon and tiger fight.

If Liverpool's form and luck were average in their last game, then their opponents, the Axe Giants, were even worse at Ham.

In terms of strength, empirical and capital, the Axe Gang should not be defenseless in the face of the unstable Manchester City. As one reporter put it, West Ham must be insane if not a nerve knife.

This round is the god-like Chen Yu facing the challenge of the nerve-like West Ham United, whether Liverpool can win the opponent cleanly and neatly, has a huge impact on their future road to defending the title, if not, let other weak teams see the hope of defeating the defending champion, and the game of Liverpool will not be easy to play.

In addition to the semi-final matches, the matchup between Tottenham and Everton is also worth watching. Both are representatives of the new forces of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur lost by one goal in the last round, and Everton won by one goal; One side has a gorgeous style of ball, and the other side is practical and tenacious; This encounter is destined to be a fight.

In addition, many fans also want to see if Manchester City, another new force in the Premier League, can continue to be strong in the first round against Derby County, and whether Sunderland, the dark horse in the first round, can continue to upset Birmingham.

With Chelsea and Arsenal having their second round postponed for Champions League qualifying, this round of matches between Manchester United and Liverpool has received more attention.

Compared with Liverpool, who won the first round of luck, the pressure of Manchester United in a draw is greater, but after they lack Rooney, the attack power is greatly reduced, this game is not favored by the media, the three major European bookmakers are optimistic about Manchester United to win away only one, and the other two are all flat.

Liverpool's biggest problem now is that their ace scorer Chen Yu is in average form in training, and it is said that he is in a relationship crisis, and the media led by The Sun are promoting the news of Chen Yu's girlfriend's split, but Chen Yu and Knightley are silent about it.

Before Chen Yu came, Liverpool's biggest problem was that the ability to grasp the opportunity was too poor, not weak when strong, not strong when weak, after Chen Yu came, this problem was solved, Liverpool also won the league championship after 16 years, and won the Champions League, if Chen Yu is not in good shape, it is really difficult to say whether Liverpool can win West Ham United at home.

West Ham United manager Kobishley was very kind, did not mention Chen Yu's scandal, but said before the game that Liverpool is very strong, and it is difficult to win with Liverpool, they should defend well first, and then wait for the opponent's remaining opportunity, just like Aston Villa did.

Kobishley believes that West Ham United has an advantage, this advantage is that they have Bellamy and Ljungberg, two former Liverpool stars, they are very familiar with every player in Liverpool, and they are also familiar with Liverpool's style of play, which will give West Ham United a lot of help, and Bellamy's speed and Ljungberg's impact can make West Ham United's counterattack more perfect.

Before this game, he told the media that even if Chen Yu is not in good shape, he must be Liverpool's most dangerous killer, even if you ignore him for a minute, he can penetrate your goal. And Bellamy also admitted that his speed was not as fast as Chen Yu, and he asked his new teammates to be careful of Chen Yu's speed to prevent him from suddenly accelerating and breaking through. However, Bellamy also said that his speed at Liverpool is only worse than Chen Yu, and that no one else is as fast as him, and if Liverpool gives him space in this game, he will let his old teammates taste his counter-attack.

Another Liverpool veteran Ljungberg believes that in addition to Liverpool's strength, the biggest advantage is playing at home, Ljungberg believes that the atmosphere at Anfield is unmatched by any stadium, and any team will be scared by three points when they come here.

Ljungberg thinks Liverpool must have a better chance of winning, but West Ham United is not without chances, but Ljungberg has a strange view, he thinks West Ham have not won at Anfield for 44 years, and this time it may change history, just like a coin toss, you have lost heads 44 times in a row, and now it is time for a tail.

The second round of the Premier League was Liverpool's first appearance at Anfield, and although the opponent was only a team like West Ham United, the fans were still very interested, and more than 40,000 tickets were sold out early, and everyone was waiting to watch Liverpool win two consecutive victories at home, widening the distance between Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

West Ham United came to Liverpool City without too much harassment from the fans, although Anfield Stadium is the hell of the away team, but West Ham United has been Liverpool's send-off boy for more than 40 years, Liverpool fans can't bear to kill them, even when West Ham United went to Anfield to train, Liverpool fans did not boo them, and there are really not many fans who come to Anfield to enjoy this kind of preferential treatment.

When West Ham United arrived at Liverpool, the game of Manchester United, which started early, was also over, Manchester United drew 1:1 Portsmouth, Manchester United's ace Ronaldo also received a red card, and he could not play in the next game, after losing Rooney, Ferguson lost Ronaldo, which is worse than a draw for Manchester United.

Originally, Liverpool was still full of confidence and didn't take West Ham United to heart at all, but Manchester United's experience gave them a precautionary shot, and all Liverpudlians were alert after getting the news of Manchester United, and manager Benitez even held a team meeting on an impromptu basis to remind the players to prevent the gutter from capsizing.

United's re-drawled draw and Rafael Benitez's reminder worked for some players, but some were unable to change their attitude towards West Ham, which complicates the upcoming game against West Ham.
