Manchester City vs Manchester United: encountered hard stubble, and ended in harmony
Competition time: 0:30 a.m. Beijing time on March 7
In the first game of this round of the Premier League, Liverpool won 1:0 at home to rival West Ham United, with a strong momentum of seven consecutive Premier League wins to continue to press Manchester City, and now the pressure has come to the Blue Moon side.
In the real Premier League standings, Manchester City ranked first with 66 points in 27 games, and Liverpool ranked second with 63 points in 27 games, Manchester City is still the party that grasps the initiative, but the 32nd round will be directly dialogued with Liverpool at home, it is a campaign, this round of home against Manchester United led by C Ronaldo, still have to strive to win.
Manchester United still ranks fourth with 47 points in 27 games, but in the competition for the fourth place, it is only temporarily out of West Ham United (45 points in 28 games), Arsenal 45 points in 24 games, Andttenham Hotspur 42 points in 25 games, if they win the make-up game, the points will exceed Manchester United.
Manchester City have won 8 wins, drawn 1 and lost 1 loss in all competitions in the past 10 matches, and the recent decline in the Premier League has been significant, losing 2:3 at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the 26th round and narrowly winning 1:0 away from Everton in the 27th round.
Manchester United are unbeaten in 4 wins and 6 draws in their last 10 matches in all competitions, the Champions League and the Premier League have drawn 2 consecutive games in the past 2 games, and have not played a dominant performance, with a 1-1 draw away to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, and a 0-0 draw at home and in the relegation zone of the Last Premier League.
In recent seasons, Manchester United's performance in the Premier League has certainly not been comparable to Manchester City, but in direct dialogue, Manchester United does not shy around Manchester City. The two sides have met in the past 10 times, Manchester City has won 5, drawn 1 draw and 4 losses, only slightly on the upper hand, while the last 7 premier league meetings, Manchester City 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses have not been bargained, and the Premier League home to Manchester United in the last 2 games and 2 consecutive losses.
In this game, the overall strength of Manchester City is obviously more likely to win, but I expect the two sides to draw.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton: Difficult brother, Conte tactically winning
Competition time: 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 8
In the middle of the season, after Conte replaced Nuno, Tottenham's record began to rebound strongly, but in recent times, the record has been unstable, and the former Chelsea champions manager has begun to become emotional, once publicly pessimistic about the prospects of Tottenham's bid for Champions League qualification.
Everton, the veteran powerhouse in the history of England's top league, has invested a lot in these years, changed coaches several times, but it is not in the back, currently 24 games with 22 points, ranking 17th in the Premier League table, only 1 point more than Burnley in the relegation zone, at any time there is a danger of falling into the relegation zone.
Young coach Frank Lampard's short Chelsea coaching experience has not been successful, and now in Everton, he has a long way to go.
Spurs have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 5 of their last 10 games in all competitions, and since entering February, it has basically been a good and a bad one. After beating the leader Manchester City 3-2 away from home, the next away to the relegation zone Burnley 0:1 away, the last round of the Premier League away to 4:0 victory Z United, and then in the FA Cup 5th round extra time 0:1 away to Championship side Middlesbrough out.
Everton have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 6 of their last 10 matches in all competitions, lost 2 consecutive games in the Last 2 Rounds of the Premier League, and defeated The League side Borreham 2-0 at home in the 5th round of the FA Cup to advance.
The two sides have met in the past 10 times, spurs have the upper hand with 4 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, but the Last 3 Premier League meetings, 2 draws and 1 loss have not won Everton.
The overall strength is stronger, the level of the manager is also stronger, and in this game, Tottenham Hotspur, who play at home, obviously has a better chance of winning.
