Domestic fans are immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, coupled with the Beijing Winter Olympics feast has been unfolding, perhaps everyone has forgotten the European games. After two weeks, the Premier League opens again, and the 24th round of the match will be staged in midweek. Due to a variety of factors, the current Premier League looks a bit chaotic, the most games Chelsea, has completed 24 games, while the last ranked Burnley, only completed 19, Manchester City, West Ham and Brentford three teams are relatively "normal", no lack of any games, the rest of the teams at least one round less.
In the middle of this week, Chelsea have already staged the round a month ago due to the need to participate in the world club competition. Unfortunately, the Blues were unable to win and could be said to have lost two points early. Today, Chelsea are nine points ahead of Manchester United by two more games and 11 points more than Tottenham, and mathematically, Spurs' all-game win in the stoppage will surpass Chelsea. Of course, Chelsea have a great chance of winning the intercontinental championship in the Club World Cup, and in the semi-finals against Saudi teams, it should not be a big problem to reach the final, and Mount hopes to enjoy a wonderful journey during the visit, which can help the team win the first world championship in history.
In addition to Liverpool, the four giants of the Premier League have ushered in scoring opportunities, Manchester City facing Brentford, Tottenham Hotspur facing Southampton, Arsenal facing Wolves, Manchester United facing Burnley, each opponent is not too strong. Manchester City, which has just lost a winning streak, has put down the pressure of catching up with the winning streak and can go all out to win and open the gap between them and Liverpool as soon as possible. City are nine points ahead of Liverpool in one game and 10 points ahead of Chelsea in one less game, and nearly 20 points away from fourth-placed Manchester United. Therefore, this blue team from Manchester, in the remaining one-third of the schedule, as predicted by the outside world, can only hope that they will win the title, and can only hope for Manchester City's own mistakes.
In the winter transfer window, Manchester United sent away several players, and did not bring in players, coupled with the young young greenwood suffered a personal misconduct storm, it is estimated that it is difficult to wear the red No. 11 shirt again, the team is facing a lot of difficulties. Manager Lonnick admitted that Manchester United have not won the title in the past decade, there must be many reasons, if the end of the season can squeeze into the top four, I believe many people will be very happy. However, this remark caused dissatisfaction among fans, first of all, Mourinho once led the team to three championships, including the European championship, and secondly, celebrities such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney believe that the team should not always "fight for four". I don't know whether the manager's remarks are dissatisfaction with the transfer window or to help the players reduce the pressure, after all, the team is temporarily in fourth place and is in a very delicate position.
Liverpool were mixed, the African Cup of Nations brought personnel out of the squad, so that the team lost the main player and some points, but Mane and Salah met in the final, and finally Mane's Senegal won the first Africa Cup of Nations gold medal through penalties, returned with honors, and believed that it would get a spiritual boost. Liverpool face Leicester City in this round, although foxes have not performed well this season, but in the first leg of the competition between the two sides, Leicester City won a small victory and ended Liverpool's record of 33 consecutive Premier League goals. Therefore, in the struggle for the title, in the case that mane and other players are not yet able to play, Liverpool need to be vigilant, if they cannot win, perhaps the suspense of the Premier League title will soon be extinguished.
