After the game, Guardiola began to be depressed again.

I saw that Chelsea was not performing well, and the difference between the two sides had narrowed, so my heart began to be alive again.

As a result, I didn't expect to make up my mind to win Manchester United, but I still couldn't get my wish.

Chelsea won the round and the gap between the two sides was stretched to double digits.

Come on, let's continue to lie flat!

Gain and loss!

As soon as the mentality was calmed down, Manchester City won.

In the 27th round, Manchester City defeated Black Cat Sunderland 2-0 away from home.

In the 28th round, Manchester City defeated Stoke City 1-0 at home and won two consecutive victories.

Chelsea have been on a bit of a run of momentum lately, and since being held to a draw by Burnley in the 25th round, they have won the next three games in a row, making it three wins in a row.

In the 29th round, Chelsea won again, a wave of four consecutive wins, leaving the pursuers behind the Blues completely dead.

The league is coming to a close, with few games left, and Chelsea have a huge advantage.

They are 10 points ahead of second-placed Tottenham and 12 ahead of third-placed Manchester City.

Yes, Manchester City dropped points again.

Ahead of this round of home games against Liverpool, they beat Monaco 2-1 away in the Champions League, knocking out their opponents 7-3 on aggregate over two legs.

Although they won in the end, the Champions League game was too close to the match in the 29th round.

Manchester City, who have experienced huge attrition in the Champions League, drew with Liverpool at home.

In this game, both sides fought and lost, and neither side took advantage, but let the other teams take advantage of the fisherman.

However, Manchester City is already satisfied with getting 1 point, after all, it has only been 2 days since the last Champions League game, most of the players' physical fitness has not recovered, and it is a strong team like Liverpool, it is already good to be able to play like this.

But for Liverpool, the result was not what they wanted.

Liverpool are now 16 points behind Chelsea and have little hope of winning the title.

So for them, the most realistic goal is to try to get a place in next season's Champions League.

And it is none other than Liverpool in the fourth place in the league, it is none other than the experienced Arsenal who is a four-man maniac.

Arsenal had a surprise defeat to West Bromwich Albion in this round, and Manchester City had just experienced a tough away game, which made the Liverpudlians see an opportunity, so they tried so desperately to get all three points from Manchester City.

But Manchester City's hard bone is really hard to gnaw, even if they are not in their prime due to physical problems, Liverpool tried their best, but in the end they still couldn't take it.

In doing so, Liverpool missed the perfect opportunity to widen the gap with Arsenal.

The two teams are currently tied on 56 points, splitting fourth and fifth place.

Both teams have the same goal difference, but Liverpool have scored more goals and are in fourth place, although the lead is almost negligible.

In addition, Arsenal is a four-pronged maniac, and no one in the entire Premier League dares to say that they are more professional than them in the fight for fourth place in the league!

So Liverpool is still a little nervous, and the more you go to the back, the more nervous you become.

Fortunately, it is not without good news for Liverpool, and Arsenal will host Manchester City in the next round.

It's a great opportunity for them to sit back and watch the fight, and if City lose, they can close the gap on them.

If Arsenal lose, they can leave Arsenal behind.

If these two teams are tied, it will be the best!

……

Before the 30th round of the game was Manchester City's turn, there was already a shocking upset.

Leaders Chelsea lost 1-2 at home to bottom-of-the-table Crystal Palace, while Tottenham beat Burnley 2-0 away, so that the gap between the two teams narrowed to seven points!

With eight games remaining, the seven-point advantage is still huge, but if Chelsea lose one or two more games, the result will be difficult to say.

Therefore, because of Chelsea's unexpected loss, the Premier League began to be lively again.

The championship battle, which I thought was not suspenseful, began to be suspenseful again.

Compared with Chelsea winning the championship, Tottenham, a quasi-giant who has not won the championship for many years, if it can win the championship, it will cause a greater sensation.

When the time comes, Tottenham fans will turn over and sing and ride on Arsenal's head to make a fortune.

Stimulated, Arsenal went crazy at home and attacked Manchester City.

Manchester City saw this posture and was immediately happy!

The last thing they are afraid of is that others will fight against them, and since you Arsenal are looking for death, then don't blame us for being ruthless.

As a result, Manchester City quickly took countermeasures and attacked against attack.

In the 5th minute of the first half, Manchester City launched a counterattack immediately after completing the interception in the midfield, De Bruyne made a long pass to Lin Quan on the right side, and Lin Quan took the ball to the penalty area.

The opponent's goalkeeper chose to attack, and Lin Quan passed the ball out after the opponent's attack, and Aguero, who arrived in the air, met the ball and sent the ball into the empty goal, and Manchester City dominated the opponent and scored first.

Arsenal were obviously a bit unexpected, but they didn't expect such a result.

They took the initiative to attack, and in the end it was Manchester City who scored first!

But Arsenal has no intention of stopping there, and since they are already behind, they have to attack even more.

For a time, Arsenal's offensive was like a tide, and even formed a siege of Manchester City.

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal team, once the pass and cut combination is played, it is really pleasing to the eye.

But the premise is that they can play, but Manchester City's formation this time is relatively tight, not giving them too much space to pass and cut, so that Arsenal's side thunders loudly, the rain is small, the attack is very lively, and there are actually few threatening shots.

On the contrary, they themselves, because the soldiers pressed, causing their own rear to be very empty, Manchester City's side only need to launch a counterattack, which can keep Arsenal scrambling, and sometimes even have to use tactical fouls to stop the opponent's attack.

For this, Arsenal paid the price of several yellow cards.

Especially Xhaka, during this time, he was both a father and a mother, and he had to catch both offense and defense, and he was tired like a dog, but no matter how diligent he was, he couldn't resist Manchester City's sharp counterattack alone, but after Xhaka ate the card, he buried a lot of hidden dangers in Arsenal's backline.

Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end, the key moment still has to look at the little tiger Walcott.

In the 40th minute of the first half, after receiving a pass from Mustafi, the little tiger rode alone on the side, shook off the defenders with his passing speed, went to the meeting alone, and scored the key goal of equalizing.

It was a beautiful goal and a morale boost.

The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were thrilled, chanting Walcott's name as they paid tribute to the team's decorated veteran.

Since joining Arsenal in 2006, Little Tiger has been playing for the sought-after for 11 years!

In the whole team, there are almost no players older than him now.

Although he has suffered a lot of injuries, although now Arsenal's real thigh is Sanchez.

But when Walcott was healthy, he was always the most reliable reliance in the hearts of Arsenal people!

On the sidelines, Wenger couldn't hold back his excitement, waving his fists fiercely, not knowing what he was silently chanting.

After he became the owner of Arsenal, because of lack of money, he had to set his sights on those young and potential demons.

Over the years, Arsenal have scoured the transfer market with a lot of young players.

Some of them have successfully kicked out, while others have been obscure and obscure to everyone.

Walcott is definitely one of the best, Walcott has made a great contribution to Arsenal over the years, and it only cost 5 million pounds to buy him, how cheap!

That's it, I want to purge Walcott because of his high salary (£140,000 per week), plus his age, injuries, and declining form.

Thinking of this, Wenger couldn't help sighing, he is really not human!

Arsenal have an unwritten rule that veterans over the age of 30 are often signed once a year, so that if the opponent is not in good shape, Arsenal can immediately purge them to save on wages.

There's no way, I'm so poor that I can't wait to break a penny in half and spend it.

Fortunately, in the past few years, the team's debts have been repaid, and life is a little more abundant.

But in the current Premier League football, the level of money burning has long been the same as when he joined Arsenal.

Relying only on the little bit of rice in his hand, without the injection of capital from the club's major shareholders, he can't burn Manchester City, Chelsea and other big dogs.

In that case, don't be too ambitious.

Until I retired, Arsenal were not going to win the title.

Thinking of this, Wenger temporarily dismissed the idea of purging Walcott.

Walcott didn't know he had benefited from the goal and he looked very emotional after the goal.

As he rushed to the sidelines, he kissed the badge on his jersey, expressing his love and loyalty to the team in this way, and begging the professor not to purge him.

Obviously, Walcourt has heard about the rumors that the team may have to purge itself, which is why he is full of a sense of crisis and works so hard in the game.

……

As it turned out, the Arsenal were still too early in their joy.

They thought Theo Walcott's goal was the sounding call for a counter-attack, but less than two minutes after Theo Walcott's goal, City immediately returned the favor.

It was almost the same way as the first goal, but the assist was replaced by David Silva, and the scorer became Lin Quan.

Arsenal's back-up goalkeeper Ospina couldn't do anything about it, the opponent's shot was too tricky, even if Cech was there, I am afraid there was nothing he could do!

Had it not been for the fact that Cech had been injured in the last game and could not have played, Wenger would have believed in the experienced veteran in such a crucial game.

The Emirates Stadium seemed to have been poured with cold water, and the Arsenal fans, who were still lively and noisy before, stopped squeaking as if they had been choked by the neck.

Some fans who are psychologically fragile have begun to cry at this time.

If Arsenal lose this game, they will be separated by Liverpool by three points.

There are not many games left in the league, and for a top team like Liverpool, three points is already a difficult gap to recover.

Although Arsenal have a lot of experience in keeping four, there is no guarantee that they will be able to do so this year.

After all, the competition for the Premier League this year is more fierce than ever.

With the gradual recovery of Chelsea and Liverpool, the quiet rise of Tottenham, coupled with the still strong Manchester City.

The competition for Champions League places in the Premier League is becoming more and more fierce, and compared to these teams, Arsenal actually do not have an advantage, and may even be weaker than the above four teams in terms of absolute strength.

Their only advantage is probably that they have a lot of experience in defending four, and they can always create miracles in the second half of the league!

But if you lose this game, it's hard to say whether there will be a miracle.

So Arsenal really can't afford to lose, since the surprise loss in the last round, they can't afford to lose a game now, not even a draw.

In the second half, the Arsenal went berserk and attacked Manchester City like mad dogs.

They know they have no way back and they can't afford to lose this game no matter what!

Under heavy pressure, it is rare for Arsenal's players not to collapse under pressure as before, but to play their own highlight moments.

In the 52nd minute of the second half, after a series of stunning crosses and cuts, the dead man sent a lethal through ball, Sanchez rushed to the ground and tackle the ball before the defender cleared the ball, but Manchester City goalkeeper Keylor Navas made a brilliant save and fell to the ground to save the ball.

The Arsenal fans in the stands were all holding their heads, and the expressions on their faces were both shocked and regretful.

What a shame this ball is!

If you score, it will be the best goal in the Premier League!

Arsenal's attack was not over this time, the dead man stood in the corner area, observed the positions of the players on both sides in front of the goal, and chose to bypass the front point and send the ball back.

Mustafi sensed his team-mate's intentions, shook off the defender, leaped high and flicked his head into the goal.

Once again, the Emirates Stadium was in a state of revelry, with countless people crying with joy over the goal.

It's not easy, it's really not easy!

Originally, many people thought that they would lose, because if they played according to the rhythm of the first half, it would be Manchester City who won in the end.

But unexpectedly, the players used wonderful cooperation and tenacious fighting spirit to equalize the score again.

Arsenal fans are no longer expecting to win this game, they just want the referee to finish the game quickly and the draw is conceded.

But Manchester City didn't accept it!

After Arsenal's goal, Manchester City launched an all-out counter-attack.

Arsenal attacked so fiercely before, the physical consumption of the players was very large, and the consumption of Manchester City was relatively small, so according to Guardiola's plan, they should have taken over the game around 60 minutes!

And now, it's time!
