The Etihad Stadium, where the first leg of the League Cup semi-final was staged.

Mancini stood expressionless on the sidelines.

He was cursing yesterday that Liverpool's three stars heading to the Ballon d'Or had better get overexcited and burn out their energy in the festivities.

But I didn't expect that Koeman not only let Qin Xiong, Alonso, but also Gerrard, who came back from the ban, play at the same time today!

And the three stars are alive and well on the court, showing no sign of fatigue at all.

Manchester City's strength fell sharply because Yaya Toure was called up to play in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Although De Jong's defense on the midfielder is also very reliable.

However, without Yaya Toure's attack in the front and back courts in series, after Manchester City's offensive playmaker David Silva was marked to death by Liverpool, Manchester City's offense played out of order.

Liverpool can continue to put pressure on their opponents with less defensive pressure!

The last time they were a guest at the Etihad Stadium was at the beginning of the month. Due to their physical exhaustion in December, Liverpool was at the end of their strength and failed to conquer this stadium.

In today's League Cup, Liverpool went all out to attack and beat Manchester City by two goals in 90 minutes with the goals of Qin Xiong and Gerrard!

Under the conditions of two rounds of home and away in the League Cup semi-finals, Liverpool took the lead to advance to the final.

The other semi-final was between two underdogs, with Crystal Palace beating Cardiff City 1-0 at home.

In addition to Qin Xiong's outstanding performance on the international stage this month, the biggest news in the Premier League is the most eye-catching news that King Henry of the Gunners returned to Arsenal for a short-term loan from the American Major League.

However, after the 21st round of the Premier League game, Henry made a lot of negative news.

First of all, Arsenal lost 2:3 away to Swansea Swansea in that game.

This is the fuse of everything.

After the defeat at Swansea, Henry clashed with a Gunners fan who abused Arsenal.

Arsenal scored an advanced goal and were finally reversed by Swansea 3-2. After the game, Henry led the Arsenal players to thank the 2000 Gunners fans who traveled with the team to Wales, but was insulted by a Gunners fan who insulted Arsenal. angered.

Henry not only yelled at the fan who insulted Arsenal, but also gestured, "I have the guts to scold in front of me."

Later, Henry apologized to the Arsenal fans through the "Sun".

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Henry admitted he had lost his cool.

"I was shocked and disappointed by everything that happened on Sunday, not just the result. After the referee blew the final whistle of a very difficult game, I insisted that the whole team go and thank the Arsenal fans and send a message to the Arsenal fans. They applauded. When I got to the stands of our own fans, I couldn't believe it was one of them who was insulting the whole team.

What I want to tell the fans is that we need their support not insults.It's understandable to have emotions, but there may be better ways to express them.Therefore, I would like to be the first to stand up and apologize for using inappropriate language, especially to Arsenal fans.I didn't use malicious or threatening words, but I've realized a calmer approach should have been used.

This club has had some great moments, but the important thing is that we are still stuck together.When the team is in a good stage, we need your support, but in a bad stage, your support is more important to the team.Let's focus on Sunday's game against Manchester United to try and get the three points and put the season back on track. "

It seems that after Van Persie's misfire, the "return" of Henry, the king of guns, could not bring Arsenal a stable victory.

United took all three points steadily at Old Trafford, beating a Bolton they so much loathed 3-3.

Chelsea announced the first signing of the winter transfer this week, they signed England international centre-back Gary Cahill, in order to strengthen the defense.

Then in the 21st round of the league, Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge and won Sunderland 1-0 without any risk.

The match between Manchester City and Liverpool was the latest. Manchester City came to the away game to face Wigan Athletic.

Liverpool sits at home and ushered in Stoke City, which is fully defending.

Just spent a lot of energy in the League Cup, Liverpool did not perform well at home, the team's overall speed dropped significantly, and there were too many mistakes. In the end, they failed to attack the fortress of Stoke City. 0:0 handshake and peace.

After 21 rounds, Manchester City has caught up with Liverpool again, and their goal difference is more than Liverpool, thanks to their crazy winning streak in the first half of the season and most of them have a goal difference of more than 3 goals.

Manchester City managed to regain the top spot with 3 more goals than Liverpool.

Manchester City 48 points.

Liverpool 48 points.

Manchester United 47 points.

Chelsea 40 points.

Arsenal 36 points.

Finally, there is a week of rest and adjustment time, the Liverpool team can take a breath, and then sound the body's alarm bell to start a new round of devil's schedule!

The pressure of Liverpool's schedule is unimaginable!

It's fine before December. At best, they will play one more game than other teams in the process of qualifying for the League Cup.

However, the consumption of the Club World Cup in December, plus the tasks of the League Cup and the FA Cup in January, make it difficult for them to have a chance to take a good rest and adjust.

Koeman does his best to rotate the lineup, but the price is also obvious, otherwise Liverpool will never start side by side with Manchester City in the standings, and there is definitely a chance to get rid of Manchester City.

In the 22nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Bolton as a guest.

The team was out of the best, and when Suarez had just recovered from his injury, Koeman put him on the bench to be safe.

Qin Xiong took on the heavy responsibility of scoring goals.

With the hard work of the whole team, Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick with head kicks at the Reebok Stadium, helping the team beat Bolton 4:1 in the away game and scored all three points.

In another focus battle in the same round, Manchester City fought against Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium. Until the 5th minute of stoppage time, Balotelli miraculously staged a lore to help Manchester City beat Tottenham 3:2 Take all 3 points.

Although Liverpool is still suppressed by Manchester City in the standings, the goal difference has narrowed to 1 goal.

Chelsea's record is still unstable. In the away game against newly promoted Norwich, Torres was still in a sluggish state and missed two excellent opportunities. Chelsea could only accept the result of 0:0 in the away game.

The highlight of this round will be staged at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal vs. Red Devils Manchester United at home!

Arsenal wants to return to the Champions League, and the Red Devils and Manchester United want to compete for the championship. Both teams cannot afford to lose in this game! (to be continued~^~)
