Original title: Premier League title situation: Liverpool may have a 6-point advantage over Manchester City in 8 days and 3 battles
This season’s Premier League title race has entered a white-hot stage. After the game this morning, Liverpool tied Manchester City with one more round of points. The two teams accumulated 86 points. The Red Army ranked second with the disadvantage of goal difference. two.
At 3:15 am Beijing time tomorrow, Manchester City will usher in this round of the game, and the Blue Moon will challenge Wolves away. Wolves are currently ranked 8th in the Premier League, with a 5-point gap from 7th-placed West Ham with one game less, and an 8-point gap from 6th-placed Manchester United with two fewer games. In theory, there is even a possibility of qualifying for the Europa League. Therefore, in this game, Manchester City may encounter stubborn blocking on the road, and the possibility of losing points cannot be ruled out.
In the last two rounds of the league, Liverpool’s opponents are Southampton (away) and Wolves (home), while Manchester City’s opponents are West Ham (away) and Villa (home). Southampton have accumulated 40 points after 36 rounds, and they are 6 points higher than the relegation zone in one more game, and they are still unsure of landing. The situation of West Ham is similar to that of Wolves. In seventh place, they not only have to be careful of the Wolves behind them, but also strive to surpass Manchester United, which has a 3-point lead in one more game, to qualify for the Europa League. As for Villa, although they are in the middle of the standings and have no desires, don’t forget that Villa’s coach is the Liverpool legend Gerrard. The Red Army’s famous legend is bound to do his best for his old club. Therefore, on the whole, the opponents that the two teams are about to face are not good opponents, and at this point, Liverpool, who have only two rounds to play, should have a certain advantage.
But Manchester City also has its own advantages, that is, physical fitness. Although Liverpool have only two league games remaining, this weekend the Reds face Chelsea for the FA Cup. And next week, Liverpool will still play the Premier League this season on a weekly double-match rhythm. Counting from the match against Chelsea, Liverpool have to play 3 games in 8 days, the intensity can be imagined. And although Manchester City also has games on the weekend after playing Wolves, next week, the Blue Moon Legion has only Villa as an opponent. And if Manchester City can successfully win the two league games this week, they will lead Liverpool by 6 points into the sprint week with one more game, which will be a great advantage.
