Manchester United, who have finished the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, returned to Manchester the following morning to resume their preparations for Monday’s 36th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League Round of Focus, which took place at the Emirates Stadium.

The first league to kick off was West Ham United hosting Tottenham Hotspur, perhaps with the title settling and a secure Champions League spot, with Tottenham losing 1-0 away to West Ham United.

Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 5-0 at home and Chelsea 3-0 Middlesbrough and Liverpool, desperate for league points, drew 0-0 at home to Southampton.

With fewer league rounds and more fierce competition for Champions League spots, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool all have a chance to compete for their final Champions League spot, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham already confirmed for next season’s Champions League.

In the past 36 rounds, Manchester United are at the top of the table with 96 points from two rounds, Chelsea are second with 26 wins, 3 draws, 7 losses and 81 points, Tottenham are third with 23 wins, 8 draws, 5 losses and 77 points, Manchester City is fourth with 19 wins, 9 draws, 8 losses and 66 points, Liverpool is fifth with 19 wins, 8 draws, 9 losses and 65 points, and Arsenal in the first round of the game is sixth with 19 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses and 64 points.

Manchester City’s last two league rivals are Leicester City and Watford, Liverpool’s last two league rivals are West Ham and Middlesbrough, and Arsenal have three league games against Manchester United, Stoke City and Everton.

From the perspective of the match, there is no doubt that Manchester City has a greater chance, Leicester City has no hope of relegation in Europe, the penultimate round is difficult to threaten Manchester City away from home, Watford is six points ahead of the relegation circle, and has an 11 goal difference advantage, basically a relegation success, the last round has a high probability of early relegation, so it will not pose a threat to Manchester City.

Liverpool are more troublesome, and falling behind in points is equivalent to losing the initiative.

As long as City do not make mistakes in the last two rounds of the league, Liverpool will not be able to secure a fourth Champions League place even if they go against the sky.

Arsenal, who have not yet played the 36th round of the league, have a chance to regain the initiative in the Champions League place, but this possibility is not very high, including many Arsenal fans, because Arsenal’s league opponent in this round is league champions Manchester United!

Manchester United are unbeaten in 34 games at the end of the season, and the league has won 24 consecutive games, and the mainstream European media is likely to believe that Manchester United will remain at least unbeaten away from home.

One point is clearly not enough for Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger has been sleepless during this time, and even if he has not won the league title in the past many seasons, he can at least compete for fourth place in next season’s Champions League, and this season… There seems to be a high probability of missing out on a place in the Champions League.

The outside world is not optimistic about Arsenal, but Wenger and his players are scrappy and united to break Manchester United’s unbeaten golden body at the Emirates Stadium, just as Manchester United broke Arsenal’s unbeaten golden body that year.

A dog has his day!

Come out and mix, sooner or later you have to pay it back!

The Celestial Empire media and fans are more optimistic about this statement, and the mainstream media in Europe is optimistic that Manchester United will remain unbeaten at the Emirates Stadium and may even beat Arsenal away.

A 2-0 win away at Celta in the Europa League semi-final is equivalent to saying that Manchester United do not need to stay at home in the second leg, and can put all their fighting power on the pinnacle of the away challenge to Arsenal.

Mourinho was not influenced by the outside media, he lined up according to his own ideas, with semi-main players and young players in the main team.

At four o’clock local time on Monday, an hour before the game time, the Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 fans, was already full, and the commentators who were ready to explain the game were given the starting lineup of both sides.

The official formation given by the home team Arsenal is 4231, goalkeeper Petr Cech, defenders Monreal, Koscielny, Holding and Bellerin, Xhaka at the back with Coquelin, strikers Alexis Sanchez, Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Welbeck at the front.

Manchester United’s official formation is 433, goalkeeper David De Gea, defenders Blind, Smalling, Van Dijk and Tuanzebe, midfielders Herrera, Pogba and Scott McTominay, strikers Van Carrey, Martial and Jesse Lingard.

BBC commentator Lineker laughed: “I see who will dare to say that Jose Mourinho does not like to use young players!” Except for Chris Smalling and Ander Herrera who are post-89s, the other players are post-90s, Axel Tuanzebe is 19, Scott McTominay is 20, Carrey is 18… The average age is much lower than Arsenal…”

Guest commentator Gary Neville shrugged: “The use of young players is also our Manchester United tradition, like our Class of 92, Jose Mourinho has always been very good and good at developing young players, but many times it is deliberately smeared by unscrupulous media. ”

Lineker smiled and changed his voice: “Let’s guess the final result…”

An hour later, both sides stood aside and waited for referee Anthony Taylor to sound the whistle.

Arsenal’s home league game against Manchester United was the last kick-off in the 36th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season, and it was the match that attracted unprecedented attention.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp are watching the game in front of the TV.

In addition, Celta coach Berizzo came to the Emirates Stadium, dressed in disguise, he was very focused, waiting for the game to start.

“Beep~”

Anthony Taylor whistled as Arsenal, who had the advantage of kick-off, quickly launched an offensive that threatened United’s defence.

Alexis Sanchez, who received the football, rushed straight to Manchester United right-back Tuanzebe, and it was clear that he wanted to open a gap in the young Tuanzebe.

Mourinho has a lot of experience in coaching, how can he be easily exposed to Sanchez?

Herrera assisted in time, and Tuanzebe was followed by a solid Van Dijk to prepare, which is equivalent to saying that Alexis Sanchez, who tried to single out Tuanzebe, eventually lost control of the football and Manchester United switched from defense to attack.

“wuwuuwuuuuuuuuuuu——”

Arsenal fans booed like a tsunami and delivered it to Van Carrey, who received the football.

They remember clearly who led United to Arsenal at Old Trafford.

Van Carrey was still struggling to break Messi’s single-season goal record, and when he heard the overwhelming boos, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he decided to give these unknown Arsenal fans a little color.

Bellerin has seen Van Carrey’s speed and excellent foot skills, he chooses to fight and retreat, and cooperates with Coquelin to complete the defense.

Van Carrey, who was dribbling forward, suddenly slammed the football from behind his right foot to the right side of his body with his left heel, and roared in his heart before Bellerin and Corquoin had time to get close: “Fatal pass, open!” ”

I saw Van Carrey send a subtle cross on the inside of the instep of his right foot at 45 degrees on the left side of the attack, and the football that drew a wonderful rainbow in mid-air flew to the right rib of the penalty area, and Jesse Lingard, who inserted at high speed, picked up his right foot and hit the instep of the football fiercely.

Monreal, who was too slow, clearly heard the muffled sound of ‘Boom’, like a cannonball flying at great speed towards the near corner of the goal.

Before goalkeeper Petr could make a move, the football grazed the lower edge of the goal beam and crashed into the snow-white net…

“Goal! Goal! ”

BBC commentator Lineker exclaimed: “Van Carrey sent a scalpel-accurate cross and Jesse Lingard burst into the box to give United a lightning lead at the Emirates Stadium! ”
