786th: FA Cup final is just around the corner!

At a time when Premier League fans are excited, the Premier League is rekindled.

The penultimate round of the Premier League begins on 7 May.

With Arsenal already winning the title ahead of schedule, attention has shifted to the race for the top four, and apart from Arsenal and Manchester United, who are the two teams that can qualify for the Champions League?

Third-placed Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the last round to not only cement their position but also close the gap on Manchester United.

The difference between the two teams is now only two points.

In fourth place is Manchester City, behind him Tottenham and Liverpool.

Tottenham are four points clear of Manchester City on the same points as Liverpool, and with three rounds remaining, both teams could overtake Manchester City and qualify for the Champions League.

The race for Champions League tickets has heated up!

The battle for the relegation zone is just as fierce, with seven teams on relegation squake, with West Ham United sitting bottom of the table, essentially locking up a relegation spot.

In addition to them, Blackpool, Birmingham, Wolves, Wigan Athletic, Blackburn, Bolton, Stoke City are in danger of relegation.

Stoke City are in the best position, six points clear of fourth-placed Wolves, and a win in their remaining three games would lift them out of relegation.

Surprisingly, this team turned out to be the opponent of the Arsenal FA Cup final!

A closer look at Stoke City's FA Cup experience reveals that this team was lucky not to meet a team in the top six of the Premier League during the promotion process!

The highlight of the game is Manchester United's host Chelsea, and if Chelsea can win at the Theatre of Dreams, they can replace them in second place in the table!

Thus consolidating Champions League qualification.

Manchester City are the first to start the race for Champions League qualification, taking on seventh-placed Everton away.

Everton also have good reasons to win – they are fighting for Europa League qualification!

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Everton won 2-1 against Manchester City by virtue of home advantage!

City's defeat gave Tottenham and Liverpool a chance to catch up, but Tottenham failed to capitalise on their chances at White Hart Lane in the ensuing fixture, drawing 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers in the relegation zone.

Liverpool did not make the same mistake as Manchester City, beating mid-table Fulham 5-2 away to close the gap on Manchester City.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 8th, Arsenal, which had successfully defended its title in advance, faced the opponent of the FA Cup final - Stoke City.

Arsene Wenger put all his main players on the bench and fielded all the substitutes, and the Dutch duo didn't even make it to Stock.

Arsenal's bench depth is indeed limited, and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, they lost 3-1 and broke out an upset!

Manchester City's media took the opportunity to mock Arsene Wenger, and the Manchester City Evening News said: "Wenger is selling favors!

Stockport were just six points clear of fourth-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of this game and will need to pick up a win in their remaining three games if they are to get out of relegation for good.

So Wenger gave them a big gift and sent a full bench lineup, what is this not a big gift?

Sure enough, they were defeated and sent Stoke City ashore!

Why did Arsene Wenger do this?

If we think about it, we know that the two teams will meet in the FA Cup final.

Arsene Wenger meant it clearly – since I've helped you in the Premier League, the FA Cup final ...... You should give it to me!

It's a dastardly deal!

We recommend that the Premier League Committee take a good look and see if there is a deal between them! ”

Arsene Wenger almost went mad when he told the London press: "Arsenal never make private deals with any team because it's unsportsmanlike.

Plus, Arsenal are confident of beating any opponent and we don't need to trade! ”

The Premier League Committee certainly does not bother with such unsubstantiated speculation.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 8th, the Theatre of Dreams was crowded with people, and Manchester United welcomed Chelsea at home.

If Arsenal is Manchester United's sufferer, then Manchester United is Chelsea's sufferer.

The two teams have met three times this season, with Chelsea beating Manchester United twice in the Champions League quarter-finals, in addition to winning 2-1 in the Premier League with home advantage!

With one win and two defeats, Chelsea are on the back foot.

They're going to win back a city at the Theater of Dreams!

After the start of the game, Manchester United took the lead, in the 36th second, Park Ji-sung made a direct pass, David Luiz intercepted and missed, and Hernandez, who was successful in the anti-offside position, shot a single shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball hit Cech and deflected into the bottom left corner!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

No one could have imagined that Manchester United would score on the first attack and start the game off to a fantastic start!

Once the game resumed, Chelsea launched an onslaught, with the two teams battling each other at the Theatre of Dreams.

Chelsea suffered another blow in the 23rd minute of the first half, when Ryan Giggs' tactical corner from the left flicked past Kalou and crossed for Didier Drogba and David Luiz to head in from close range ahead of Branislav Ivanovic!

Two to zero!

The Theater of Dreams is boiling!

Manchester United went into the second half with a two-goal lead.

It was a tight pitch when Chelsea attacked from the flanks in the 24th minute of the second half, when Ramirez's cross from the right was headed in by Branislav Ivanovic and Frank Lampard stabbed home from four yards!

Football hits the net!

The score becomes 1 to 2!

Chelsea pull one back!

In the next game, the two sides competed more fiercely, but neither could change the score on the field.

As the referee's whistle blew at the end of the game, Manchester United won 2-1 against Chelsea with two first-half goals!

They made it three wins in a row against Chelsea!

Chelsea failed to achieve their goal of getting one back.

With a win in this game, Manchester United cemented their position in second place.

With fourth-placed Manchester City also losing, Chelsea remain in third place.

For Arsenal, they have an important game ahead of them – the FA Cup title race!

This is their second title race of the season, and a win over Stoke City would allow them to defend their title double!

It's definitely a great feat for Arsenal!

So there was a lively atmosphere at Arsenal and they were not affected by the defeat at the foot of Stoke City in the previous round.

Cesc Fabregas has also miraculously returned from injury and does not want to miss a major game like the FA Cup final.

Wenger didn't say anything on the surface, but he didn't like it in his heart.

Arsene Wenger has been well aware of Cesc Fabregas's injury, so the club has not announced the injury in Spain.

It stands to reason that, in such a situation, Arsene Wenger, as manager, should criticise Cesc Fabregas and even impose a suspension on him.

But in the face of two trophies to be contested, the Frenchman knew that "stability" came first, so he let the Spaniard go.

Among them, is there a reason why Cesc Fabregas brought him to the Emirates Stadium...... Except for Arsene Wenger, no one else knows.
