Premier League: Blue - Red War

(Baonghean.vn) - TheThe London giants and Manchester will host each other in round 11, mWill the red of MU, 'Gunners' or the blue of Man City and 'The Blues' bring luck?

Although the ball has not yet rolled, experts agree that Man City and Arsenal will be the most anticipated match. The away team Arsenal is inferior in every aspect, but that does not mean they will try to defend to get 1 point, simply that is not the style of the "Gunners".

Arsenalhave difficulty

Two consecutive years of absence from the most prestigious European club competition will have a huge impact on Arsenal’s financial resources. Manager Wenger understands this better than anyone, and if “third time’s the charm”, the Professor’s position will be difficult to maintain.

In the Premier League, Arsenal must compete with five other powerful teams: Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. For Arsenal, winning the Premier League is now too far away. From the Board of Directors, Coach Wenger, players to fans, all are only aiming for fourth place and a place in the Champions League.

This time the opponent is the Etihad Stadium team with extremely high form, Man City has won 8 consecutive matches in the Premier League. Man City's attack line is having an extremely good scoring efficiency, in the list of top scorers, City contributed 4 people.

Statistics show that Aguero and Sterling have scored 7 goals, Jesus and Sane have also scored 6 goals. In addition, midfielders De Bryne (6 times), Silva (6) and Sane (5) are all the players with the most assists in the Premier League.

Coach Wenger also has stars like Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, two new players Lacazette and Kolasinac have also integrated quickly and shown impressive performance.

Arsenal have won 4/5 of their recent Premier League matches, but perhaps Arsenal are not a worthy opponent of Man City, not to mention they have 1 less day off than their opponents due to playing in the Europa League. It is more reasonable if the London representative "knows himself, knows the enemy" to earn 1 point, but if they play with all their might, they can easily fall apart.

Farewell Conte?

Last year, the first time Jose Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge, MU had a heavy 0-4 loss. Because Pedro scored for Chelsea too early, all the calculations of the "Special One" went bankrupt.

Up to now, Mourinho's MU has met Conte's Chelsea a total of 3 times with 2 wins for "The Blues". However, Mourinho completely outplayed Conte in the most recent meeting (MU won 2-0).

MU is not in good form, due to many key players being injured, but at least they have just had 2 important wins, without conceding any goals.The Blues are worse off after losing 0-3 to Roma in the Champions League, and are not doing any better in the Premier League, having lost 2 of their last 4 matches; the remaining 2 wins were also extremely difficult. The reigning Premier League champions have conceded 13 goals in their last 7 matches.

All the focus at Stamford Bridge will be on the two big strikers Lukaku and Morata - both of whom have failed to score in the last 6 matches. During the summer transfer window, Morata seemed to have joined MU, while Lukaku was Chelsea's number 1 target to replace Diego Costa.

But MU Vice President - Mr. Ed Woodward changed everything, of course Chelsea was the one who was snatched away. Actually, both had quite good starts, the first 10 matches, "The Second Wild Elephant" scored 11 goals and Morata also proved that he was worth the price of 70 million pounds with 7 goals in 9 matches and 2 assists.

However, both brought the crowd back to earth as their opponents "got it". Morata, after returning from injury, failed to score in six consecutive matches. The Spanish striker became lonely in Chelsea's attack.

On the Red Devils side, Paul Pogba's absence caused Lukaku to lose a partner who could provide the ball with a lot of energy, not to mention Lukaku's strength-based playing style, which greatly affected the performance of the "Second Wild Elephant" when having to work hard on all fronts.

Marca (Spain) also reported that President Abramovich has decided to fire Conte at the end of this season. In case Chelsea plays poorly against MU, Conte could leave earlier than expected./.
