On March 14, Beijing time, Gunners Arsenal will face leicester City in the 29th round at home.
Horse hindsight
Although both teams have won recent games, this does not mean that they are working well.
The home team is better, winning four in a row in the league and double-killing the league defensive ceiling Wolves.
But in the last three rounds they have conceded goals and won by only one goal.
It is said that the victory is not enough, but from the scene, the home team's defense is still a little unstable.
Especially against Watford in the last round.
Although some fans thought the referee was helping, the 5-1 shot was 3-2.
But the instability in the home team's midfield did cause them to nearly overturn.
The last two wins of the away team have been even more watery.
Bernley, who defeated the exhausted physical fitness and the defensive core half-time injury, is a welfare bureau.
The changed coach Of Liz attacked and scored 3 points, which was a fluke.
Lineup/strength
Both teams were firing heavily on the offensive lines.
The home team is currently in excellent form in midfield.
Lacazette and Erdegaard orchestrated the frontcourt almost perfectly.
The fly in the ointment is Raqqa's goal efficiency and S Ronaldo's possible injury.
The away team has been plagued by injuries for a long time this season.
But the firepower was not greatly affected.
Madison stood up first.
In Madison's absence or slump, Barnes stepped forward again.
Oh, and the away team also has an Arsenal nemesis, Valdi.
He scored 11 goals in 13 games against Arsenal.
Both teams have some problems in the midfield.
In the last round of the league, the home team's midfield was collectively slumped, with the exception of Tierney and Thomas.
The away defenders have been pulling their crotches, and recently Tillermans has started to stir again.
Even Hall, Ndidi, Andik Thomas all play well and can't save such a midfield.
After a game, the Barnes score of the goal is not as high as goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr., which is very telling.
Coach/team traits
There was a scene in the last round of the league that I believe impressed many fans: when he dealt the ball in the sideline, Arteta quickly threw the ball to his disciple. They then scored the winning goal of the game.
A simple body language that sends a signal to everyone.
That is the desire for victory.
Away coach Rodgers hasn't done that well.
Despite his recent good team record, we can rarely tell from his expression and body language how committed he is to winning.
Therefore, under the influence of the managers of both sides, the motivation of the two teams to play shows a gap.
In addition to the obvious gap in the team's playing momentum, what are the obvious differences between the two teams?
gap
Let's start with the most obvious at the moment.
The home team has no recent tournament assignments for other events.
They were given ample rest.
The away team just played a Europa League game on the 11th.
Although at home, it is basically played with all the main forces.
Less than 3 days of rest, combined with the motivation of the away team, their state of this game can be imagined.
Although the home team's defense has been a bit unstable recently, they are still much stronger than the away team.
This is clear just by the number of goals conceded.
They also played 25 league games, but the away team conceded 14 more goals than the home team.
This also involves an Achilles heel of the away team.
restrained
Excluding the influence of technology and awareness, the away team's defense has a more obvious flaw, height.
Their air defenses are weak.
The away team is the team that conceded the second most corners this season.
So far this season, they have conceded 14 goals from set-pieces and corners, scoring 10 goals with their opponents' headers.
After the home team introduced set-piece coach Joville, the level of corner kicks improved very significantly.
In their last nine games, they have scored seven goals from corners.
At the same time, Tierney's bottom cross can also pose enough threat to the away team.
Not only that, but Sunday's away game was not very friendly for the away team.
In Sunday's game, the away team scored a lot of goals and conceded a lot.
In the last 14 games played on Sunday, the away team has scored 32 goals and conceded 29 goals.
Their away performances have similar characteristics.
The away team has conceded goals in 17 consecutive away games and scored in 12 consecutive away games.
At home, the home team is much more stable.
Their home firepower has always been fiercer than on the road, and their defense is more stable.
It's important to note that while Vardy is home's nemesis, he has also had 11 away goal droughts.
trial
The referee of this game is Anthony Taylor.
The referee's enforcement standards are more relaxed, and Xhaka should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
But he has awarded three penalties in two recent games of law enforcement, and it is not known who is going to be unlucky.
Spells/Records
Leicester City beat Arsenal 1-0 away from home last season, ending their record of 23 away games in the league.
If the game is won, Arsenal will double Leicester City for the first time since the 15/16 season.
Arsenal have scored 25 points in the last 10 league games (8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss), and in the top flight, no team has scored more points than Arsenal in the last 10 games.
In their last two league games, Leicester City beat Burnley 1-0 2-0, and they have not conceded three consecutive games since four consecutive games in 2019, and the last time they did not concede goals in the third consecutive game was precisely the 2-0 victory over Arsenal.
Tanuki
1. Find four gunmen and foxes who don't eat meat.
The Gunners, who have been disqualified for the Champions League for a long time, have finally found themselves this season and their only goal now is to secure that position.
And this season, for the foxes, I am afraid that the nature of experimentation and reform is more, this game, can not say that they have no desire and no demand, the morale may not be high.
2. True Transformation?
Some Gunners fans say that if they win this game, it proves that they have regained the temperament they had lost before.
With that came the Metamorphosis of Arte tower.
He went from the vegetable tower at the beginning of the season to the later ta zi brother, and now that some fans have called him the tower coach, is it possible for him to become the gunners' tower saint?
3. Mr. Key.
Given the large number of firepower points on both sides, the key of the front line is not so high.
The performance of both goalkeepers, Ramsdale and Jr. Shumeichel were the top priority of the game.
In addition, can Vardy continue to play the role of BIG6 and Gunners nemesis?
Oh, and the biggest surprise of the game, Xhaka.
Personal tendencies
Comparing the strengths and characteristics of the two sides, the winning scales are clearly biased in favor of the home team.
Tanuki and his friends think the same thing.
But Tanuki brother still needs to remind everyone a little, although the restraint relationship is more prominent, but the two sides are not particularly stable.
And the home team still has some unexpected factors, such as Xhaka, the state of the back line.
So this game looks very stable, but it is actually stable but with a little hanging.
