London is the centre of gravity of English football, and the city is home to five Premier League teams. QUanbeN。 But Manchester United alone is enough to match the influence of the entire London team. The Premier League's fifth round will continue to be played between London and Manchester, with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City and Arsenal battling at Old Trafford and City Stadium in Manchester.

Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are in the top four in this match, while defending champions Manchester United are in a challenging position, and the wins and losses of these two games will also have a decisive impact on the title situation.

If Manchester United, who have won two and lost two games, loses at home to Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea beats the underdog Stoke City, then Manchester United will be opened up by nine points and basically miss the title, while if Tottenham Hotspur beats Manchester United again after beating Liverpool to win five consecutive wins, then their self-confidence will be greatly improved, and they can rush into the title contention.

The match between Manchester City and Arsenal also plays a pivotal role in winning the championship, the previous two teams are three wins in three games, one round less in the third or fourth place, Arsenal, who have always been accustomed to dropping the chain, if they can play four consecutive wins, the morale of the young people is high, and they may even win a few games in a row to rush to the top, and Manchester City if they can beat Arsenal, their confidence has also been greatly improved, and the result may be as important as Tottenham to break the old pattern.

The total number of meetings between Manchester City and Arsenal so far is that Manchester City is at an absolute disadvantage. Manchester City and Arsenal have met each other since the start of the Premier League, with the Blues having a poor record of two wins and three draws, including two wins and two draws at home. Manchester City's victory over the Gunners has centred on home games over the past three seasons, with Arsenal beaten by three goals at the City Stadium last season. This means that the Gunners' strength has declined significantly in recent years, while Manchester City's strength has gradually improved. Now both teams are in the strongest form and strength in years, and this game is bound to be very strong.

Arsenal didn't come to Manchester this time to be treated like last time, Manchester United fans were busy entertaining guests from Totner, Yao Tottenham, and Manchester City fans were less hostile to Arsenal. Manchester City is a lone ranger in the Premier League with many factions, and the goal of his life is to beat Manchester United, while Arsenal is a giant, but because Wenger is indifferent by nature and unsociable, there is no grudge between the two sides, but this season because of the poaching of Adebayo and Toure, the fans of both sides have some confrontational emotions.

The match between Arsenal and Manchester City took place earlier than usual and will kick off at 3pm on the slogan, and after the Arsenal players who arrived in Manchester in the morning have acclimatised to the venue, Coach Wenger attended the pre-match press conference and the professor reviewed what happened in the last round and explained some of what had just happened.

"The referee, Dean, and the referee, Hackett, apologized to me for what had happened, and I didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary. It's just that I'm angry at that foul because it's incomprehensible and funny to be sent to the stands in such a way. Thankfully, we won. ”

'Personally, I don't think Bam Adebayo left for the money, I think it's fair for him. I want all the players who have played for us to be respected, they deserve the respect they deserve for the club, and we have dealt with the void since his departure. We are financially adequate. If you look at the Premier League as a whole, you can't say we're one of the worst financially teams. Bam Adebayo has now scored three goals in three games. It's all fire, and we have to put it out. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to win. ”

Manchester City manager Hughes was once a disciple of Ferguson, and now they are mortal enemies, and he will not have the idea that the enemy of the teacher is a friend, but there is no ill feeling, Hughes expressed respect for Wenger in the pre-match press conference, and also believes that this game will be the most important game for Manchester City since the start of the season.

"Arsene Wenger is a model for Premier League coaches, he brings out a team with a very elegant style of play, it's a pleasure to watch them play, although Arsenal haven't won any titles in the past four years, but I don't think it's a matter of quality and quality, it's a matter of luck, they have a lot of hope of winning the title this season

"Arsenal are ahead of us, they are very strong, Li Huan is the World Footballer of the Year who scored a hat-trick last time out, he is the best player in the Premier League in August, but in front of us are our enemies, we want to climb higher and go further, this game will be our most important game, we will play it as a final."

The press conference on both sides ended with a small mouthful. The game will soon kick off, and the city stadium at the moment is attached to the slashing type; Fans, the city stadium with a capacity of 47,000 people is already two-thirds full at the moment, and the fans are still pouring into the stadium.

Manchester City has achieved remarkable results after the start of the game, Manchester City fans are also overjoyed, many people are already looking forward to the team to win the championship, although other teams may think that Manchester City fans are delusional, but in the eyes of the long cool fans, this is not a fantasy, Manchester United left Luo after the strong began to drop the chain, Liverpool left Alonso after the back pain and leg pain plus kidney deficiency, Arsenal still needs to run in the new lineup, the only strong is Chelsea, the last four is only one of them, Manchester City is impossible not to have some ideas.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the city stadium was already full, banners were displayed in the stands, team flags were fluttering, and the rhythmic singing of fans was heard from time to time, but the lyrics turned out to be satirical to Manchester United, which surprised Arsenal fans

In the VIP box in the stands, Abu Dhabi Group CEO Dr. Alfahim watched the warm-up players on the pitch, his eyes fixed on Arsenal's rather than Manchester City's. After watching for a while, Alfahim showed a very unhappy look on his face, turned around and walked to the table to pick up a glass of red wine, drank it all, and said to himself: "Good Chinese, look down on Manchester City, today I want you and Arsenal to see, money is the god who determines the fate of football." Without you, I would have been able to build an invincible armada

At the start of the game, in a box not far away, Arsenal chairman Hillwood and Manchester City chief executive Gary Cook walked in, and Hillwood said, "Gary, we won this game."

Gary Cook smiled and said, "Old man, I think so too. I hope you won't be disappointed

Hillwood's eyes were full of the heat of a young talent, "Gary, we have Li Huan, he is invincible, he scored a hat trick in the last game, no one is his opponent." ”

Gary Cook smiled slightly and said: "Old man, it's not me who hit you, mention the person you are unhappy about, Adebayo has now scored three goals, almost all of which are decisive for the outcome of the game, and he swore that he would score more."

Hillwood said, "Don't worry, Wilmaren and Li Huan will organize him to do stupid things." ”

The bigwigs in the stands are talking, and the commentators are introducing the line-ups of both sides to the fans, judging the good and the bad, and talking about the changes.

"Arsenal's lineup knife for this game" goalkeeper Almunia, the four defenders are No. 3 Li Huan, No. Vermaelen, the old number Gala, and each other number Klich, and the four midfielders are the slogan Alexander and Alexander. Song, No. 2 Diaby, No. 8 Nasri, No. 4 Fabregas, and the forward is Bendtner, Van Persie.

It should be said that Arsenal's staffing is not beyond what reporters and the media have discussed, except for Fabregas's play, but as long as Fabregas does not ask questions, he will definitely be the main force that cannot be beaten. Bendtner's becoming a striker is different from the last time, but with the characteristics of Manchester City's style of play, it can only be Bendtner, a center forward who is not good at heading. But now Arsenal's biggest weapon is not Cesc Fabregas, nor Bentner, he is a defender and an attacking player, Li Huan,

Manchester City's lineup is also a balanced four 42 in attack and defense: Richards Jr., Van Les Scott, Li Yi Kolo - Toure, 3 Bridge, Heart Barry, Midejong, Not Ireland, 8 Wrightnay Jr. 4 Bellamy, Fei Adebayo

These are Manchester City's strongest players, which one is worth tens of millions, but the key players who determine today's victory or defeat are Manchester City's two waists, Barry and De Jong, if the two of them can play well and block Arsenal's central penetration, the result will naturally be inclined to Manchester City, of course, the two wings of Wright and Bellamy are also important forces, they are fast, if Arsenal still pulls the side assist to the midfield like they played, their goal will be shot through.

Well, the game starts and the first kick-off is the away team Arsenal

Pretty! It's so beautiful, Li Huan opened with a precise long pass, and Bendtner appeared in the position, but he ran a step late, but unfortunately, he wasted an opportunity.

Bam Adebayo grabbed the header. Trying to force his former teammate Galla, Gallas is experienced and poked the ball out...... Before the opening kick-off, both sides played a little restrained, with a lot of long balls and some mistakes in passing and receiving, and we expect them to attack aggressively after the trial.
