He did not win two consecutive games, but the Premier League is still the top spot, while the Champions League is two points behind Bayern.

The situation is quite gratifying.

In the middle of the week, Pellegrini considered that the team was not in good shape now and her physical fitness declined a lot due to many recent battles, so she did not choose to use all the main players to face the knockout match of this League Cup.

The opponent is Newcastle United, and it is also very strong.

At the beginning of this game, Xu Qi had already had a holiday and did not even appear at the Etihad Stadium with the team.

Although the substitute players Pellegrini is also very strong, Manchester City still encountered two consecutive losses in this game.

Losing to Newcastle United by 0-2 at home, he stopped in the quarterfinals in the League Cup.

Sure enough, the Premier League competition began to become more difficult after entering the end of October.

At this time, many media also came out to say that they had already expected Manchester City's current dilemma. After all, they have always seemed very fierce at the beginning of the league, but as the season progresses, they will make many mistakes.

This is the performance of an immature team.

In fact, it is normal for a season to be so long and it is ups and downs.

After these three games of invincibility, it can also sound a wake-up call for Manchester City. If the whole season is too smooth, it will be difficult to adjust if the team has problems in the later stage.

Now, they still have a chance to make mistakes.

After this Europa League, Manchester City, which was in poor form, ushered in another crucial battle!

Manchester derby, here is here.

Manchester United tied Chelsea and West Bromvic in the two games before the league, and tied two consecutive games in the league, which was obviously not as good as Manchester City.

But the draw with Chelsea gave Manchester United fans hope.

Currently, Manchester United is ranked eighth in the league under the leadership of Van Gaal and has a very average record. He has encountered Manchester City, which has not won in the past three rounds. Both sides hope to step on the opponent's body to find their winning feeling.

Manchester United did not participate in the League Cup midweek because they were eliminated in the second round.

They actually lost to the unknown Milton Keynes with a score of zero to four.

It has to be said that the Manchester United team led by Van Gaal this season has not improved much compared with Manchester United led by Moyes last season.

They may even be very difficult for them to compete for a Champions League seat.

However, Manchester City is currently the leader in the standings, except for losing to West Ham United in the last round, playing triumphant songs all the way.

Although it was said that it was a three-game defeat, the other two were not the Premier League. It can be understood that one Champions League away draw and one League Cup did not send all the main players to play.

Therefore, in this tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City, who plays at home, is naturally more favorable.

This season, Xu Qi's old teammate Falcao's injury attribute has been further improved. He has been on standby for three rounds, and his condition in Manchester United is also extremely poor. Manchester United's forward line is still relying on veterans like Van Persie and Rooney.

The Angel Wings Di Maria, which they spent a lot of money to introduce, was in good condition. She performed amazingly in the first few rounds, and the recent games have also seemed a little mediocre. Overall, it can only be considered unsatisfactory.

At the press conference before the game, a media reporter and Xu Qi talked about Falcao's recent situation.

Xu Qi said that although he and Falkao live in the same city, their residence is not close and they are not teammates of the same team.

Therefore, the two have fewer contacts. Knowing that Falkao’s current situation is not very good, Xu Qi also believes that Van Gaal should give Falkao more opportunities, and Falkao is definitely capable.

Of course, the two players who once helped the team win the Champions League trophy last season were unable to formally compete in this game, which also made the game lose its highlight.

However, this game still attracted much attention.

The two No. 7 Di Maria and Xu Qi were identified by the media as two players who will determine the game trend.

Manchester United had suffered three consecutive losses against Manchester City, and they also tried to avoid four consecutive kills in this game.

There was also a hype before the game, Xu Qi was also the one who was hyped up before the game, because Manchester United also expressed their intention to end Xu Qi's consecutive goal record before the game.

Currently, the consecutive goal records of the five major leagues are maintained. Messi, who has scored 21 consecutive games.

Bundesliga's Ged Muller has scored 16 consecutive games.

In Ligue 1, Masnagerty scored 13 consecutive games.

Serie A's Batistuta scored 11 consecutive games.

The Premier League record is a ten consecutive league goal created by Manchester United's former king of small penalty areas, Van Nistelroy.

This record originally belonged to Manchester United, and Xu Qi has scored nine consecutive games, just one game away from scoring ten consecutive games.

As long as Xu Qi scores in the game against Manchester United, the record that Fanny has set will be broken by Xu Qi.

And if Xu Qi scores in two consecutive games, he can set a new consecutive goal record in the Premier League.

It seems that Manchester United has enough reason to block the birth of Xu Qi's record.

On this day at the Etihad Stadium, many Manchester United fans flocked to it.

A half of the sky blue and a small part of the red highlight the layout of the Etihad Stadium.

The starting list of both sides has finally been released.

In terms of Manchester United's away game, the goalkeeper is naturally De Gea, who has been very helpful recently.

Valencia pulled to the right back position on the defense line, and Smalling and Rojo partnered with two centre-backs.

The right back is Luke Shaw.

The midfielder is Fellaini, Blind, Januzai and Di Maria.

The two major forward players are naturally Van Persie and Rooney, two famous players who have been in the football world for many years.

For Manchester City, both David Silva and Lampard were absent due to injury in this game, which is not very favorable news.

But Manchester United actually has more wounded soldiers, in addition to Falcao's accident, there are also Ashley Young, Evans, Jones and Lingard.

Van Gaal's poor performance is actually related to the fact that there are too many slandered soldiers in his team.

Manchester City's starting goalkeeper is of course still Joe Hart.

The defense line is Sabaleta, Demikelis, Kompani and Krish.

In the midfield, Pellegrini sent a relatively tough lineup, after all, Manchester United is not easy to deal with.

Fernando, Yaya Toure and Milner form the Iron Triangle.

In the frontcourt, he chose Jovitic to shoulder the team's organizational responsibilities.

On the front line, there are Aguero and Xu Qi's two forward partners.

These two forwards are even more terrifying than the configurations of Van Persie and Rooney!

After all, those two players are no longer in their peak period, and Xu Qi and Aguero are both forward players who are at their peak in football today.

That's right, Xu Qi can be said to be a forward player now.

His goal efficiency has surpassed all forwards this season.

The starters of both sides finally came out of the player channel, and Van Gaal and Pellegrini also stood in their positions, waiting for the whistle to ring.
Chapter completed!
