Liverpool 69 points.
Manchester United 69 points.
Manchester City 67 points.
Arsenal 55 points.
Tottenham Hotspur 55 points.
Chelsea 50 points.
Newcastle United 49 points.
Arsenal had eight rounds left in the league to return to the top four!
And Liverpool's leading striker, Suárez, would announce his comeback in the next round of the Premier League!
The first leg of the Champions League 14 finals was at the end of March.
Liverpool was the first to challenge Benfica.
Comain's lineup in the Champions League was slightly conservative considering that they would be visiting St James' Park on the weekend.
The muscular midfield, Qin Xiong and Suárez joined forces to attack.
Benfica had difficulty breaking Liverpool's goal at home. Liverpool, who were back in form, seized the opportunity to change the score with two quick attacks in the away game.
Qin Xiong and Suárez each scored a contribution and took a 2: 0 lead in the away game.
After the game, Europe predicted that Liverpool would smoothly advance to the Champions League semi-finals!
Back in the league, Liverpool's game at St James' Park was the final game of the round.
The first to debut was Arsenal. The Gunners and Queen's Park Rangers played a civil war in London.
Queen's Park Rangers, who needed to fight for points to avoid relegation, made Arsenal suffer and suffered a rare defeat in recent times.
2:1
Arsenal lost the game!
They had just climbed to fourth place in the league and were on the verge of losing it.
When Tottenham Hotspur defeated Swansea City 3: 1 at White Hart Lane, as the fans feared, Tottenham Hotspur regained the fourth place in the league.
Chelsea showed his prowess at Villa Park on the weekend and defeated Aston Villa 4: 2.
The game was thrilling. Until the 83rd minute of the game, the two teams were still tied at 2: 2. Then Torres's header assisted Ivanovic's header to break the goal. In the last minute of injury stoppage time, Torres scored to seal the victory.
Torres, who had scored three goals and five assists in the last five games, seemed to be revived!
Before Liverpool's game, Manchester City's game attracted the attention of all the Premier League fans.
The biggest news before the match was about Agüero!
Last weekend, Agüero missed Manchester City's away match against Stoke City due to an injury. Assistant manager Pratt explained that Agüero only suffered a minor ankle injury during training the day before the match.
However, the front page headline of the Mirror's football section revealed that Agüero's foot was injured by his three-year-old son, Benjamin, riding a mini motorcycle at his home in Cheshire.
After that, Arguello took the initiative to spray seal on his feet many times, which caused a strong allergic reaction.
According to The Sun, Agüero's foot was badly blistered and swollen, as if it had been burned by fire.
At present, not only could Agüero not play in the game, he could not even complete his training. He could only recuperate at the crucial moment of Manchester City's championship.
The 23-year-old Agüero would miss Manchester City's Premier League match against Sunderland today, and even Mancini did not know how long he would be out.
Mancini was furious that Agüero did not consult the team doctor and took the initiative to treat his injury. However, he deliberately exonerated Agüero in order to protect his reputation.
At the press conference the day before the match, Mancini could not suppress his inner depression.
"There's something wrong with Agüero's foot, but it's best that we don't talk about it because it's a stupid injury. It's unbelievable that we've lost such an important player in such a stupid way. It didn't happen at home, but here. It's not his fault, but will he be out for a week, ten days, or two weeks? I don't know. For us, it's a big problem because Agüero has already missed the league match against Stoke City, and he won't play in the match against Sunderland this weekend either. We hope that Agüero doesn't have to be out for a long time because we've lost our number one striker in such a stupid way … I hope that he can return for the match against Arsenal on April 8, but I really don't know if he can return by then. I'm very disappointed now. I hope he won't be out for a few weeks. "
Agüero had scored 24 goals and six assists in all competitions for Manchester City this season.
Among them, he had scored 17 goals and five assists in the Premier League. He was Manchester City's number one striker.
If Agüero was confirmed to be out for two weeks, he would miss Manchester City's home match against Sunderland, the away match against Arsenal, and the home match against West Bromwich Albion. Including the away match against Stoke City, Agüero would miss four matches during Manchester City's sprint.
The away match against Arsenal, whose morale was high and who had won consecutive matches, would be difficult to get all three points. Sunderland had beaten Manchester City 1: 0 at home this season, and West Bromwich Albion had drawn 0: 0 with Manchester City at home.
Mancini was worried that this situation would kill Manchester City's hopes of winning the title. "For this reason, I'm really disappointed with everything that has happened."
The Premier League fans did not know whether to laugh or cry at Agüero's bizarre injury. After all, they could not say that Agüero's son was a mole planted by Liverpool and Manchester United. They could only say that the child had been a bit of a scam since he was young.
Manchester City's home match against Sunderland did not disappoint.
Before the first half stoppage time, the score was 1: 1. Sunderland took the lead and scored a goal through defensive counterattack. Manchester City equalized the score.
Then, in the injury stoppage time, Martin O 'Neill led Sunderland to take the lead again!
Manchester City was behind 1: 2 at halftime!
In the 55th minute of the second half, Sunderland extended their lead again!
3: 1 ahead of Manchester City!
Just when everyone thought that Manchester City would be double-killed by Sunderland at home, Manchester City scored two goals in a row in the 85th and 86th minutes of the game to magically equalize the score!
In the end, Manchester City tied the visiting Sunderland with a score of 3: 3 at the Etihad Stadium.
Sunderland had made Manchester City lose four points this season!
And now, Manchester City was at least four points behind Manchester United!
Whether they would fall behind Liverpool by four points at the same time would depend on Liverpool's performance at St James' Park in the closing game of the current round.
After the game at the Etihad Stadium, Mancini heard the Manchester City fans booing him from the stands!
Thinking back to a few months ago when he led the team with an irresistible force, the fans loved and supported him. Now, the treatment he received was like heaven and earth.
Of course, there was also Fleet Street adding fuel to the fire. Recently, they had been fiercely attacking Mancini.
Mancini wasn't a manager who was particularly capable of shouldering the responsibility.
At times like this, he would always find some scapegoats.
For example, his "godson," Balotelli!
After the game, Manager Mancini first talked about Balotelli. "Yes, I wanted to replace Balotelli five minutes into the game, even though he still scored two goals in the end. In fact, he didn't play well. In a game like this, the strikers should have room to play. Not only should they perform at the last moment, but they should have performed brilliantly before that. Whether it was Dzeko or Balotelli, they should have scored at least two or three goals in a game like this. And we sent Tevez to bring a difference to the game. I need him to help us change the game.
