Pre-match movements
This is a strong dialogue in the 34th round of the Premier League, and it is also a four-point battle worth "6 points"! Arsenal now have 18 wins and three draws in 32 rounds, and have 57 points with Tottenham Hotspur, but are currently in fifth place in the table due to a goal difference of less than their North London derby opponents. Arsenal have lost as many as 11 league games this season, with the team most recently losing to Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton. However, the Gunners beat the Blues Chelsea 4-2 away in the previous 25th round of the supplementary round, and the London derby victory may restore the team's confidence.
United's recent situation is also difficult to say ideal, the team has lost to the Mersey Riverside twins on the road, and at home to face the league vice president Norwich is only a one-goal victory. Manchester United are currently in 6th place with 54 points in 33 rounds, only 2 points ahead of West Ham United behind them. The team suffered a 4-0 away defeat to rival Liverpool in the last round of the league, and morale was very low. The team recently announced the new season manager, to a certain extent, can stabilize the military's heart, but some "aspiring" players may plan ahead for the future. But in any case, this strong dialogue against Arsenal is absolutely not to be lost for Manchester United, who aspire to qualify for the European Games and even the Champions League.
As two of the Premier League's biggest clubs that have never been relegated, arsenal and Manchester United have played since the first year of the Premier League. The two sides have met in the Previous 59 Premier League meetings, with Manchester United winning 25 games and Arsenal winning 16 and drawing 18. There is also no shortage of famous clashes between the two sides, the most famous of which was the horrific 8-2 massacre in 2011/12. The first meeting of the season took place in early December last year, when Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2 at home.
Injury updates

Manchester United's injury situation is more serious, Pogba has been basically reimbursed this season due to a calf muscle injury, Uruguayan striker Cavani has not returned from an injury, midfielder Fred has a groin injury, and three Lions international left-back Luke Shaw's calf injury, these players are difficult to catch up with the matchup. French centre-back Varane has recently been involved in individual training and it is not known whether he will be able to play. Team leader Cristiano Ronaldo, who has experienced the loss of his son, has recently returned to the training ground, but his interest is not high, and it seems that it will take him a while to get out of the pain of losing his flesh and bones, but his comeback against Arsenal is not a big problem.

The Premier League is coming to an end this season, with Round 34 leaders Manchester City taking on relegation side Watford to further their quest for the title. Manchester City are currently at the top of the Premier League table with 24 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in 32 games, and the second-placed Liverpool are tightly entrenched by 1 point, and this season's title battle has been played between the two teams of the Blue Moon Reds, with only 6 rounds left in the league, each game can not be lost.
In the midweek match, Manchester City beat the Seagull Brighton 3-0 at home, and this season, in addition to being double-killed by Tottenham, only upset Crystal Palace, and the state is relatively stable. This game against the Bumblebees in the relegation quagmire, the Blue Moon Army is undoubtedly a more optimistic side, and successive home battles have also helped the physical strength of the players, but considering that they will also face Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final next week, Guardiola may rotate this weekend or receive it as soon as it is good.
The situation for Watford is relatively critical, after entering April they have scored only one goal in three consecutive defeats, won only one of the last 8 league games, and are currently on the verge of relegation against the bottom of the table with 6 wins, 4 draws and 22 defeats in 32 rounds, 6 points below burnley in the bottom of the table.
However, Watford are not without their advantages, they are better at playing away from home. Four of the six 3-pointers this season have been made away from home, and if you only count the away results, the Hornets can rise to 14th in the Premier League table, and this time with the Etihad, they still have a chance to do miracles.
In the first leg of this season, Watford lost 1-3 at home to Manchester City, and the two sides have met 8 times in the past 5 seasons, and Manchester City has won all and occupied an overwhelming advantage, and they are undoubtedly still a more optimistic side in this game.
Injury updates

Kyle Walker, who injured his ankle in the previous elimination of Atletico, has missed two league games and is still unable to play this game; Mendy has been unable to play for a long time due to legal disputes.
For Watford, striker Juan Hernandez is still injured, Kallo and Serralta are also unable to qualify, and centre-back Nkulu, who has a hamstring injury, is expected to return a month later and has missed almost all the remaining games, but Trost-Ekon has resumed training.

Since entering 2022, Conte's side have experienced a period of ups and downs in form - they have both the feat of overturning the leader Manchester City 3-2 away in the 26th round of heavyweights and giving the opponent a "double kill" for the season, as well as the wonderful 4-0 away sweep of Leeds United and the 5-0 bloodbath of Everton at home, but also in the supplementary round away to Burnley 0-1 away to Burnley in the relegation zone, and the 2-3 away defeat to Manchester United. In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Middlesbrough was eliminated by losing 0-1 in extra time to the Championship, which completely announced that Spurs were out of all cups this season and were destined to usher in another championship-free season.
However, since losing to Manchester United, Spurs have beaten Brighton, West Ham United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa 4-0 in the next four league games to win their first four consecutive wins in all competitions since 2022. However, in last weekend's league game, they lost 0-1 at home to Brighton and were hit again, and are currently in fourth place with 57 points with 32 wins, 18 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses, the same points as arsenal opponents in the same city behind them.
This weekend, Spurs will play Brentford away from home, and the home team has experienced a trough of 1 draw and 8 losses in 9 consecutive matches in all competitions between January and February, but their record has recently shown a significant upward momentum, with the last 6 league games winning 5 wins and 1 loss in good form, and they have staged a 4-1 away sweep over Chelsea in the 31st round. At present, Brentford is ranked 12th with 39 points in 33-11 wins, 6 draws and 16 losses, and is basically in a state of no-holds-barred relegation and hopeless competition for European competition. The only two meetings in history between the two teams have taken place in 2021, with Spurs beating Brentford 2-0 in the League Cup semi-finals last season and then winning 2-0 at home in the first leg of the league this season.
Injury updates
