    The hellish Christmas schedule is finally over. For Liverpool, this Christmas has both gains and losses.  They chased Manchester United in points, and Chelsea scored 3 points more than Arsenal. Compared with before Christmas, the league situation was already very optimistic. It turned out that if they wanted to compete for the championship, they had to look at the faces of Manchester United and Chelsea. But now, he only has  Just wait for Manchester United to make a mistake. The fate of the battle with Chelsea is in Liverpool's own hands. As for the Gunners, I am afraid that even the back of Liverpool is almost gone.  Liverpool also lost a lot. As a wealthy team with a cup tradition, Liverpool strategically gave up the League Cup and FA Cup this year and went all out to play in the league and Champions League. If the league and Champions League results are not good, Benitez  Talking to the players is a lot of pressure.  However, Benitez, who has always been steady, dared to take such risks mainly because of Chen Yushen's performance.  Chen Yu came with the title of being the most valuable transfer player in Liverpool's history, and Liverpool's investment came while Chen Yu was injured. In a sense, this is a kind of speculation. After Chen Yu returned from injury,  It is conceivable how much pressure the party involved, Chen Yu, the club and Benitez were under, but Chen Yu staged a good show of the return of the king in a way that no one could have imagined.  Scored 13 goals in 9 rounds, helping Liverpool win 9 consecutive league victories, bringing Liverpool back from desperation to the championship group, tying Drogba in the top scorer list, and once again becoming the favorite for the top scorer. Chen Yu's performance was perfect  Winning Benitez's trust and even reliance, in Benitez's view, Liverpool's final shortcomings have been made up, and now they have the ability to hit the league and Champions League championships.  Cup competitions are no longer rare for Liverpool. They have five in the Champions League, and they once won five cup championships in one season. Now in Liverpool¡¯s honor room, to be precise, Benitez¡¯s honor room only lacks one league championship trophy.  , for this championship, Benitez is willing to take this risk.  The away game against Watford on January 13th will not put any pressure on Liverpool. Their main players have already rested for a week, and the away hat has been thrown off long ago. The only highlight of this game now is whether Chen Yu can  Reversed Drogba in the scorer list.  Because after this game, Liverpool will face a fierce battle with Chelsea at home. This is a game related to the league pattern. Before that, the two major shooters want to defeat their opponents psychologically.  Now Chen Yu's number of goals in the league is 13, and there are still 16 rounds of the league. According to Chen Yu's scoring efficiency in the past few years, Chen Yu's final number of goals may reach 289. In the last three seasons of the Premier League  Henry's top scorer is all Henry, his goals are 27, 30 respectively. If Chen Yu can score 289 goals and Drogba does not perform exceptionally, then he may win the top scorer.  Sex is very big.  After Chen Yu scored twice against Bolton in the last round, European betting companies ranked Chen Yu's odds first, and Drogba was originally ranked first.  There is also no suspense in this round of matches between Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. The highlight is whether the forwards competing for the top scorer can continue to score goals. The focus is on the next round, Manchester United will play the Gunners, and Liverpool will play Chelsea.  Drogba was also very depressed after the team experienced three consecutive draws. He kept scoring goals, but the team was always unable to win. Now captain John Terry and main goalkeeper Petr Cech are still unable to play. The team's defensive problem is not coach Mourinho's.  It can be solved by naming and criticizing Rinho. Mourinho was kind to Drogba. Now Chelsea is in trouble. If they don't win this round, the 3-point gap between them and their rival Liverpool will also disappear.  In this critical situation, Drogba hopes to repay Mourinho with goals and victory and give his mentor a hand.  Before the game against Wigan Athletic, Drogba issued a challenge to Chen Yu, "Although we will play against Liverpool in a week, we should focus on Wigan now. We are weak this season.  The team has lost too many points. The team's defense has some problems, but this is not entirely the fault of the defender. Defense requires the efforts of the whole team. In addition, when the defense is unfavorable, we need our forwards to score more goals. This game  I will try my best to score more goals. I want to be the top scorer in the Premier League. I believe that I am no worse than any forward.¡± The first game started between Arsenal and Liverpool. After Henry¡¯s comeback, Arsenal finally found it.  Soul, relying on Henry's pass and shot, 10-man Arsenal defeated Blackburn 0. After Henry scored the 8th goal, he also announced that he had joined the competition for the top scorer.  As expected, Liverpool had no suspense against Watford. Crouch scored twice and Chen Yu scored a goal and an assist. They defeated the Premier League vice squad leader and won 10 consecutive league victories, tying last season's winning streak.  Record, the team's forward pillar Chen Yu scored 14 goals and temporarily surpassed Drogba by one goal in the scorer list.  Two hours later, the match between Manchester United and Chelsea also kicked off. Manchester United's state was still stable. South Korean star Park Ji-sung opened the scoring, and midfield genius Ronaldinho expanded the score. In the end, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa in the draw.Before the battle between the two players, Ronaldinho continued to maintain his points advantage over the pursuers. Ronaldinho also scored 13 goals to tie Drogba, who was temporarily ranked second.  Chelsea had three draws in a row before, and in the next round they had to play Liverpool, who were in great form. Although they did not dare to be careless against the underdog Wigan Athletic, Mourinho withstood the pressure and released Shevchenko, who was in extremely poor form.  On the bench, only Drogba was left at the center position.  After Mourinho took charge of the Blues, he won all three games against Wigan, but each time he only won by 1 goal. However, Chelsea was lucky today and took the lead in the 14th minute. Lampard took a 40-yard free kick from the left.  It was a pass and a shot, but Wigan goalkeeper Kirkland made a misjudgment and the ball bounced off the ground and into the far corner.  In the 33rd minute, the score was expanded. Hustad made a mistake in passing Unsworth back. Robben passed Kirkland with a single shot and then shot into the empty net to expand the score to 0.  Chelsea secured the victory in the 70th minute. Robben broke into the left side of the penalty area and made a pass. Kirkland made a mistake in the previous point save. The ball rolled from under him into the door and scored an own goal. Chelsea scored 3-0.  All three goals came from chance. Chelsea really wiped out the bad luck during the Christmas period today. However, Drogba, who wanted to score the most and needed the goal the most, never scored. This made the Chelsea players also  Worrying about him, in the remaining time, Chelsea almost always created opportunities for Drogba, but Drogba could not get the ball into the gate guarded by Kirkrank, who was not in good condition.  This situation lasted until the second minute of stoppage time. Mikel made a pass from the right. The Ivorian knocked the defender away and headed the ball into the goal. He scored the 14th goal in the league this season, tying the first 14 goals.  Chen Yu, before the battle with Liverpool, Drogba was finally not surpassed by Chen Yu, who had played 13 fewer league games. Otherwise, there would really be no place for the African's old face.  At the end of the first round of games, there was no significant change in the points gap or position in the standings. Manchester United is still high, Chelsea and Liverpool are still 3 points behind each other, and Arsenal also rushed to third place after Tottenham was tied by Fulham.  The fifth position, but their points are a bit low. Until the top three make no major mistakes, the Gunners' goal can only be to qualify for the Champions League.  Before the round, the battles between Manchester United and Arsenal, and Chelsea and Liverpool had already attracted a lot of attention. Beating Watford, Wigan Athletic, Blackburn, and Aston Villa was just to boost morale before a big meal.  Just an appetizer.  After the first round of games, the battles between Manchester United and Arsenal, and Liverpool and Chelsea quickly occupied the headlines of all sports media in England and became the focus of the entire European sports media.  Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea are the four most successful clubs in the Premier League. In the first year of the Premier League's founding, the championship was only won once by a team outside the top four. Although Liverpool, the worst team, has never won the championship, they only have one.  After falling out of the semi-finals once, they also won the UEFA Champions League that year, so some fans even called these four teams the "Yuchao" in the Premier League.  With four teams like this fighting each other, even if there is no competition for the league championship, the game will be the focus of this round. Moreover, the situation in the league is very delicate now. The victory or defeat between these four teams will be even.  Change the entire Premier League winning trend.  Undoubtedly, Manchester United is the most comfortable now. They are U points ahead of Chelsea, 9 points ahead of Liverpool, and 16 points ahead of Arsenal. However, they are not able to sit back and relax. If they lose to the Gunners in this game, and Chelsea, whom Manchester United fears the most, defeats Liverpool, then  Sir Alex Ferguson may not be able to sleep well. In the past few seasons, they must lose every time they meet Chelsea. A 3-point gap is really not a big difference to Chelsea. Mourinho said before Christmas that a U-point gap can only count.  3 points, because they will definitely beat Manchester United at home.  The best result for Manchester United is of course that they defeat Arsenal and Liverpool defeat Chelsea. In this way, their lead over the second place reaches 9 points. However, this is definitely not what the other three teams want to see.  , no matter what the victory or defeat of these three teams is, their common thought is definitely to defeat Manchester United.  As long as Manchester United loses, either Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal will have a chance.  And as long as Manchester United wins, the score against the second place reaches more than 9 points, and the goal difference is absolutely advantageous. With Ferguson's scheming, it will not hinder Manchester United even if they lose to Chelsea and Liverpool in the only two remaining strong dialogues.  They won the final championship.
