Chelsea and Wolves are sharpening their knives, and Manchester United are not far behind, with only three points behind Wolves at the top of the table, and if Wolves make a mistake, they can equalise.
With three rounds remaining, the Premier League title remains uncertain and the top three teams have a chance.
The Wolves were in a very good atmosphere of preparation, and the "four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth" were back, and with it came their bursting self-confidence.
On April 24, the penultimate round of the Premier League began.
Third-placed Manchester United are the first to make their home debut, against Tottenham Hotspur, who won Chelsea in the previous round. Alex Ferguson fielded all their squad and for them to win the title, they had to win all the remaining games in addition to expecting Wolves and Chelsea to make mistakes.
There is no fluke in their hearts.
The mighty Manchester United played a beautiful game at the Theatre of Dreams after the game began, and they combined with a smooth, mercury-like attack to make the home fans thunder with thunder amid the huge shouts of the home fans.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Nani fired a low shot from the left side of the penalty area, the icing on the cake, and Manchester United led by two goals and victory was in sight.
At the start of the second half, Tottenham made the game tense again. In the fifth minute of the second half, Rio Ferdinand made a mistake in the back, Defoe broke the ball and went into the penalty area, fired a low shot, the football went into the net, and Tottenham recovered a goal.
The difference of two teams by one goal makes the game delicate, and Tottenham could tie the score at any time. United continued to put pressure on the Tottenham goal, and in the 20th minute of the second half, Park Ji-sung stepped up and fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box. Soccer ball into the net!
The South Korean's goal extended Manchester United's lead again, and the hearts of Manchester United fans finally fell. Tottenham were not willing to rest on their laurels and fought back wildly for the remainder of the game.
Ferguson decided the big picture, waved his hand, and recycled the defensive line. Two goals were enough to give United a win. Tottenham were like hungry tigers when United were on the back of the line, but United didn't give them a chance to score.
After four minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the final whistle as United won the clash 3-1 at home to a Chelsea-hated Tottenham Hotspur.
The pressure was on Chelsea and Wolves.
At 4pm on the 25th, the match between Chelsea and Stoke City kicked off at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, who lost a crucial London derby in the last round, took advantage of their strength to the roar of the home fans. A frantic assault was launched on Stoke City.
In the third minute of the game, Chelsea had a good chance to open the scoring. Frank Lampard latched on to Joe Cole's cross into the box and the Stoke City centre-back slid a tackle that sent Lampard down in the box.
The referee decisively awarded a penalty to Chelsea.
Frank Lampard made it all the way to give the Blues the lead from the start. Where can a goal give vent to Chelsea's frustration in the last game, and they continue to attack in the next game.
In the fourteenth minute of the first half, Joe Cole took a corner. Terry leaps high and a beautiful lion shakes its head. Football goes into the net, 2 to 0!

In the 10th minute of the second half, Drogba, who retired due to injury in the last game, came on as a substitute, and the Ivorians are currently one goal ahead of Wang Rui. He tops the scorers' charts, but his lead is not huge.
As a striker, in addition to the honor of the team, what I want most is the top scorer.

Seven to zero!
Didier Drogba scored twice and his advantage in the scorers' charts reached three goals!
Chelsea thrashed visiting Stoke City 7-0 to sit at the top of the table as they threw out their frustration at the defeat at White Hart Lane in the previous round.
Chelsea also used this wild win to surpass Wolves and Manchester United on goal difference. With the same number of points, they would be at the top of the table on goal difference.
With both Manchester United and Chelsea winning, all eyes were on Wolves and invisible pressure was coming in.
Wolves' opponent in this round of matches is Blackburn, who are currently ranked 14th, and they are in a situation where they are not worried about relegation and have no competition for European places.
People pay attention to the Wolves, in addition to seeing if they can perform well under pressure, they also want to see the performance of Wang Rui, who is banned for seven games.
At six o'clock in the evening, Aunt Mary cooked a sumptuous dinner for Wang Rui. After Wang Rui finished a hearty dinner, he went upstairs to pack his sports bag.
A few minutes later, he hugged Lytis with his sports bag on his back.
"My dear, I will be there to witness your return!"
"Come on! You are the best! ”
Wang Rui sniffed his quiet body fragrance, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Sister Wang Ting stood behind Lytis, waved her small fist at him, and said loudly: "Brother, you are the best!" ”
Wang Rui waved to the two most important girls in his life and left the house. After going downstairs, Aunt Mary and Uncle Mullin, who were already waiting in the courtyard, sent him encouragement and blessings.
With the encouragement of a large family, Wang Rui got on Peter's motorcycle and rushed to the training base.
At half past six, the Wolves bus drove out of the training base and headed for Molinox Stadium to the championship!
At 6:50, the Wolves bus drove into the Molineux Stadium, and more than 100 media waiting there rushed in. Ince, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was the first to get off the bus and plunged into the group of reporters.
"We only have one goal tonight, and that is to win!"
Ince said his goal for the night.
One journalist asked: "Manchester United and Chelsea both have more goal difference than Wolves, do you want to get a big win at home tonight and close the gap on them?" ”
Ince shook his head and said: "Our first goal is to win, goal difference is not our focus right now. As long as we win all three of our remaining games, it doesn't matter if they have more goal difference! ”
A female reporter asked, "Will you let Wang start?" After all, he hasn't played a game for almost two months, and his form is questionable. ”
Speaking of his outstanding disciple, Ince had a smile on his face.
"Why not?"
'He wasn't depressed during the ban, he practiced more and better than anyone else. He's been building up his strength and hopes to get back on the pitch one day and continue to surprise the fans. ”
"You'll see that amazing king tonight, and he'll announce his return with a wonderful performance!"
The Wolves players rushed down, and the "four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth" walked together, and after the media saw Wang Rui, they became excited, and countless questions were thrown at him.
"Wang, are you confident of winning the championship?"
"Didier Drogba has a three-goal lead, do you think you still have a chance to compete for the top scorer?"
"Wang, how do you feel about returning to the ring?"
……
Wang Rui had already focused on the upcoming game, and he had no intention of accepting media interviews at all, and walked straight towards the locker room.
Bale was originally a low-key person, he didn't go to see those excited reporters, followed Wang Rui's footsteps, and walked to the locker room.
Peter won't pay attention to the reporters anymore, damn it, do you only have kings in your eyes? When it comes to the shooter list, I'm also ranked third, why don't you ask me?
The number one striker of the Wolves snorted coldly in his heart, raised his head, and walked next to Wang Rui without squinting.
Kenting turned his head to look at the reporters, waved his fist and said, "The king will not let you run for nothing, he will give you a good game!" (To be continued.) )
