First of all, let's talk about Newcastle, the reason is very simple, Newcastle new signing Trippier fractured, may be because of a foot fracture, missing all future games, the current Trippier has completed surgery, the return date can not be determined.
After joining the Premier League in early January, Trippier was a "seamless fit", directly replacing Manquillo and Murphy as Newcastle's well-deserved right-hand key.
Trippier's average rating is the highest in the team
In his four Premier League games, Newcastle has reduced from an average of 2.21 goals per game in the previous 19 rounds to an average of 0.5 goals per game, and from the efficiency of scoring an average of 1 goal per game in the previous 19 games to an average of 1.5 goals per game.
It's not all the credit of Trippier, but any Newcastle fan can't deny that "Beckham Jr." is the most eye-catching presence in Newcastle's set-piece strategy and at both ends of Newcastle's attack and defense.
Especially in the last two rounds of the Premier League, Trippier has scored direct free kicks in two consecutive rounds, making Newcastle fans call for relegation.
Defensively, Trippier averaged 3.5 steals, 2.5 interceptions, 1.5 clearances and 5.5 rebounds per game, making him one of the premier league's best full-backs in recent times!
Trippier helped Eddie Howe stabilize the team
If you switch back to Manquillo, you can see that Manquillo in Newcastle can only contribute 2.3 steals, 0.6 interceptions, 1.7 clearances and 3.5 returns per game.
Simply put, two players are not players of the same level at the data level! Not to mention the actual game, fortunately Newcastle brought in Taggart, and after Manquillo returned to the right, Newcastle did not lack players on the left.
But Trippier's absence will have an impact on Newcastle, first of all, Chris Wood needs to re-run with new players when receiving set-pieces and crosses, and Trippier + Fraser's right-sided partner may also need to be reorganized.
The only positive is that Trippier grabbed a key three points for Newcastle before he was injured, which is enough to affect the team's future relegation process, and Eddie Howe needs to find a suitable replacement for Trippier!
Book to the truth: Manchester two males play together, the Champions League and the Premier League together to attack
1. Manchester City face the Portuguese Super Giants
At present, Portuguese sports rank second in the Portuguese Super League, and have just won the Portuguese League Cup, which can be said to be morale!
Moreover, Portugal Sport has only lost one home game in the Portuguese Premier League home game this season (1:2 defeat to Braga on January 23), and their home stadium, in the Champions League, has defeated Borussia Dortmund, Besiktas, only lost to Ajax, although lost, but this season Portugal Sport, all home games have scored goals!
Guardiola needs to be very cautious
Because in the history of the two sides, Manchester City is in a disadvantage of 1 win and 2 losses, although guardiola has not yet come to Manchester City when they last met, but for teams of the level of the Champions League round of 16, caution is necessary.
In order to cope with this game, Guardiola can basically be on the full, in addition to training the injured Glaliche, Jesus and Palmer will also miss this game, so Guardiola also arranged for Keich, Drap, McCarty, Lavia, Mbet 5 young players to enter the Champions League roster.
Although the squad led by De Bruyne is good, and some players were also suspended in the Premier League at the weekend, there are still some players who cannot be rotated, because Guardiola has only 15 first-team players in addition to the goalkeeper, and no matter how the rotation is, there must be some core players in the squad.
Of course, Portuguese sports are not much better, they just had a dead match with Porto at the weekend, the two sides ate a total of 5 red cards, 11 yellow cards, after the game is also the conflict intensified, there was a scuffle.
The key for Manchester City is Sterling
Sterling was perfectly hatted and in perfect shape at the weekend, and considering that he is City's main attacker, there is no doubt that the key to breaking the barrier is up to him, of course, provided that Sterling can take the game seriously.
Considering that four days after this game, Manchester City will also face Tottenham At home, the difficult period for Guardiola and Manchester City is coming.
2, possession + high position, Manchester United's nemesis?
Manchester United and Brighton's make-up match will still be played at Old Trafford, the two sides have met in the Premier League last 8 times, Manchester United has the upper hand with 6 wins and 2 draws, the last 5 meetings, Manchester United maintains a full victory, Brighton's last victory over Manchester United, back to August 2018.
But what we need to know is that this season's Manchester United, itself, is an "unstable" existence, Rangnick did not make Manchester United excellent, Old Trafford is no longer the guarantee of Manchester United's lower limit, more importantly, when Solskjaer and Lonnick are in charge, Manchester United will play an abnormal game when they encounter a team that is good at possession + high pressing.
Coincidentally, Brighton is such a team
Brighton are good at attacking and like to attack, and their average possession rate has reached 56.3%, ranking fourth in the Premier League, and it is normal to be in the top three.
But this team is good at playing hard battles, even in the face of Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea will not be instigated, is to do, but to lose to admit, which is the opposite of Manchester United's recent "national football behavior".
But Manchester United is not without advantages, such as the pass success rate: Manchester United can still maintain 82.4%, such as the average number of shots per game, Manchester United can still average 14.1 times per game, these two statistics are also the basis of strong teams, Manchester United's foundation is still there, as long as they do not squander great opportunities, theoretically more likely to win than Brighton.
But here's the point: in their last three games (including the FA Cup), United have squandered a dozen great chances and won only three 1-1 draws, which is one of United's problems.
Ronaldo is likely to be a substitute
Whether Lonnick and C Ronaldo really have a contradiction no one knows, but it is certain that the multi-media are spreading the news in this regard, and from a factual point of view, Cavani is indeed a more suitable type of forward than C Ronaldo, although the results are not necessarily there.
Unless Lonnick can really lower his posture, learn the way Carrick and Manchester United played before, counterattack first, forced to grab second, otherwise it is really difficult for Man Lenovo to change the state of left and right swing!
Overall, United have a chance because their creativity is much better than Brighton's and Brighton's finishing ability is not strong, but Manchester United need to do a good job of defending, and with De Gea alone, it is impossible to solve all the shots!
United have scored only four goals in their last 4 games with 82 shots on goal!
Conclusion: Irving predicts the Premier League
In his prediction, Irving believes that Both Manchester City and Liverpool can beat their Champions League opponents, and at the same time, the score is 2:0, I don't know if Irving can predict accurately this time.
