On April 26, the weekend after the Champions League quarter-finals, on the 34th round of the Premier League, Liverpool went to an away game against West Brom.

Although West Brom is currently ranked in the middle and lower reaches, there is no pressure to relegation. Their desire for victory in the game is not high.

At the Hawthorn Stadium, Jackie Chan assisted Coutinho to score in the first half, which was the only goal of the game.

Liverpool scored three points from an economical 1-0 away game and continued to maintain the initiative in the fourth-place competition.

In the other matches of this round of the Premier League, among the four opponents, only Manchester City, like Liverpool, successfully scored three points.

Arsenal played a 0:0 draw with Chelsea at home, which is acceptable, after all, the opponent is a powerful Chelsea.

At the same time, Chelsea also successfully won the Premier League championship this season through this game, winning four rounds ahead of schedule.

In the next four rounds of the Premier League, if Chelsea can win all of them and score 12 points, then they will be able to score 94 points and become the champion with the second highest points in the history of the Premier League, only after themselves in the 2004/05 season. Created a record of 95 points.

As for Manchester United, after their loss to Chelsea in the last round, they seemed to have caused a bad reaction in the team. In this round, they unexpectedly lost 0:3 to Everton and suffered a two-game losing streak in the league.

At the critical moment of this four-game battle, Manchester United suddenly suffered a two-game losing streak. This blow was absolutely devastating.

After losing this round of the game, Manchester United's situation in the fourth round has taken a turn for the worse and has become precarious.

In the current Premier League standings, Chelsea won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule with 82 points, Manchester City returned to second place with 66 points, Arsenal ranked third with 65 points, Liverpool and Manchester United both had 63 points, and Liverpool won the championship with 66 points. The advantage of goal difference overwhelmed Manchester United and returned to the top four.

Manchester United's situation is indeed getting worse. They have been squeezed out of the top four, and the teams in front of them still have make-up games to play.

Manchester City and Arsenal have one make-up game, while Liverpool have two more.

Originally, when the English media were making suggestions for Manchester United, they mentioned that among the make-up games for the four teams, there was a direct match between Liverpool and Manchester City, which would be beneficial to Manchester United.

If Liverpool and Manchester City make a make-up match, at least one team will lose points, which makes it impossible for the two teams to score three points at the same time to put pressure on Manchester United.

But now, Manchester United has lost the chain one after another and completely lost the initiative. Then Liverpool has the prerequisites to play tacitly with Manchester City.

As long as Liverpool and Manchester City deliberately draw in the next make-up match, they can each get one point they need, and at the same time open up a one-point gap with Manchester United, making Manchester United's fourth-place situation even worse.

In particular, Liverpool and Manchester City have a hostile relationship with Manchester United. One is a long-term rival in England and the other is a rival in the same city. Therefore, the two teams do have the possibility of cooperating to play tacitly to frame Manchester United.

After the 34th round of the league, since the ownership of the Premier League champions has been determined, the most discussed by the English media is naturally the current chaotic fourth-place situation.

Due to Manchester United's own mistakes and consecutive loss of points, the balance of the four teams has been completely tilted towards Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. However, Manchester United is not without a chance. A direct handover with Arsenal.

However, the most talked about in the English media at present is the result of the next make-up match between Liverpool and Manchester City.

First of all, there is no doubt that whoever wins this make-up match will have a greater advantage in competing for the fourth.

But for Manchester United, they actually prefer Manchester City to win when they choose the lesser of two evils.

At present, Manchester City is three points ahead of Manchester United, and Liverpool only rely on the advantage of goal difference to overwhelm Manchester United, so only if Liverpool does not widen the point difference, Manchester United can have a better chance of competing with Liverpool for the fourth.

To put it simply, Manchester City's win is the most beneficial to Manchester United, followed by a draw between the two teams, and Liverpool's win is the most unfavorable result for Manchester United.

On May 30th, the middle of the week after the 34th round of the Premier League, this is the supplementary match day between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Although the English media analyzed before the game that the two teams teamed up to draw and framed Manchester United, but in fact Liverpool prepared for this game with the mentality of winning and taking three points.

A draw can only lead Manchester United by one point, but a win can lead by three points. Of course, you have to choose to win, not to mention that this is Liverpool's own home court.

Manchester City may have come with the mentality that it would be good to get a point for a tie, because after the start of the game, they did not play well at Anfield, and they were a bit too conservative.

In the first ten minutes or so of the game, Liverpool basically dominated the offense, completely suppressing Manchester City at Anfield.

Liverpool's first wave of offense was ineffective, but after a short break, when the second wave of offense came, Manchester City finally couldn't stand it anymore.

In the 34th minute, Sterling dribbled the ball and forced Zabaleta into the penalty area. Although he forcibly hit the goal and missed, he forced Joe Hart to throw the ball.

The ball bounced back into the penalty area, and Li Chenglong appeared in the position, resisting Kompany's supplementary shot, and directly stabbed the ball into the opponent's goal.

Goooooooal~~~~~~~

Super Bruce~~~Scored the goal with a follow-up shot!!

Bruce breaks the deadlock for Liverpool and this is his 30th Premier League goal of the season!

Bruce scored 30 goals in his first season in the Premier League, which is an unprecedented record.

And Liverpool will have five Premier League games in the future. Bruce still has the opportunity to continue to score goals. He even has the opportunity to break the Premier League's single-season scoring record.

The Premier League record for goals scored in a single season is 34, shared by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.

There are still five games left for Jackie Lee this season, and he does have a chance to break their record.

Five minutes after Jackie Lee's goal, Sterling once again played an outstanding performance. A slightly reluctant pick in the frontcourt passed Fernandinho, and then stepped on the penalty area line and volleyed vigorously. Joe Hart's gate fell again.

I have to say that Sterling's competitive state in this game is really good, and he is the most active one in the audience.

Jackie Chan's supplementary shot just now was actually an opportunity created by Sterling's forced breakthrough.

Some time ago, Sterling was about to leave the team, and Manchester City is one of his potential next homes. He may want to perform well in front of this potential next home.

Lee and Sterling scored twice in five minutes to give Liverpool a two-goal lead in the first half.

Manchester City counterattacked to a certain extent in the second half, but when Liverpool took the initiative to slow down the pace, there was no major problem.

In the 75th minute, Aguero assisted Dzeko to get back a goal for Blue Moon, but this was the last goal of the game.

In this way, Liverpool beat Manchester City 2:1 at home and won this long-delayed make-up match.

After winning Manchester City and getting three points, Liverpool's league points came to 66 points, the same points as Manchester City, surpassing Arsenal to become third, and also brought Arsenal back to their familiar fourth position.
