The highlight of this round is the big battle between Arsenal and Liverpool. In the first half, Liverpool's defence leaked, and Saka opened the scoring first. In the games that followed, Arsenal dominated the game and missed a good chance or two to extend the score. In stoppage time of the half, Dias had a chance that was not a chance, and Arsenal central defender Gabriel was busy making mistakes and setting himself up for an own goal, and the two sides returned to the same running line. Slow motion showed Gabriel touching the ball into his own goal with his hand and the goal was deemed valid.
Since then, two of Liverpool's most consistent players, Alisson and Van Dijk, have made mistakes in the combination and given Martinelli a big gift. Late in the game, Ibrahima Konate received a red card, Liverpool added to the situation and turned off the fire, with Leandro Trossard scoring to seal Arsenal's victory. It isLiverpool's second defeat of the season in the league was a lethal defeat that could cost them the top spot.
In this round of the league, Manchester United played West Ham United at home, and in the first leg of the contest between the two sides, Manchester United lost 0-2 away. At Old Trafford, United were not aggressive, and in the first half, West Ham dominated the field, but 12 shots on goal were unsuccessful, and Onana performed well. Manchester United, on the other hand, played very efficiently on the counter-attack, Hojlen scored the first goal, he still had a chance to score a brace, and a shot from Fernandes Fernandes almost got on target. In the second half, United's counter-attack was smooth and Garnacho scored two goals in quick succession to seal the win. Ten Hag was not looking for good looks on the pitch, with United scoring half as many shots as West Ham but scoring three goals and keeping a clean sheet to get revenge on the Hammers.
With the addition of two cup games, Manchester United have recently maintained a five-game unbeaten run and their form has picked up. After this game, Manchester United returned to 6th place in the table, with an 8-point gap to the Champions League places, and it is still difficult to catch up. For the time being, Ten Hag has stabilized the situation, but the Reds will face a difficult fixture ahead of them, which will determine their final result, and European qualification should be the minimum goal.
Chelsea played Wolves at home in the 19th minute, with Caicedo providing the assist and Palmer bursting into the right side of the box to score with a diagonal shot to break the deadlock. However, in good times, Chelsea will not play. Soon, Brazilian striker Cunha equalised and Aite Nouri's strike led to Disasi's own goal as Wolves took a 2-1 lead. Chelsea's performance remained unsatisfactory in the second half, with Cunha netting a hat-trick with two more goals. Among them, Gusto conceded a penalty that the Chelsea defence simply couldn't watch.
Late in the game, veteran Silva headed home to pull a goal back, but it was to no avail. Chelsea suffered a heavy defeat in a 4-2 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Chelsea lost 4-1 to Liverpool in the last round, and with a little less luck, a defeat is entirely possible. In the last two games, Chelsea's defence has been unguarded, and a total of eight goals have been scored. After two consecutive defeats, Chelsea have dropped out of the top 10 again, and the minimum goal of reaching European competition is unlikely to be met. With two successive defeats and a rise in discontent among Blues fans, will Pochettino be able to make it to the end of the season?
