This morning, the double red derby ended in a 2-2 draw, thus concluding the 20th round of the Premier League where Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal all drew their matches, while Manchester City secured two consecutive victories with a 4-1 win over West Ham. The collective underperformance of the top teams has provided an opportunity for Manchester City to catch up, despite only winning three out of their last eleven games, including a record of one win, two draws, and six losses from the tenth to the eighteenth round. However, they are only two points away from the top four. The general manager of Lorient has confirmed that their defender, Huseynov, who is a target for Manchester City during the winter transfer window, will be leaving the club. Manchester City's signing of Lorient defender Huseynov is nearing completion, as the team seeks to strengthen their defense and midfield protection, which have been abstract this season. Despite a 4-1 victory over West Ham, City only had nine shots compared to their opponent's seventeen. The defensive issues can only be resolved through new signings, but unfortunately, City's winter transfer activity has been more noise than substance so far. Currently, there has been no significant progress in Manchester City's pursuit of targets such as Zubimendi, Guimaraes, Wirtz, and Musiala. The rumored transfer of Marmoush to City has also been debunked by Sky Sports and Bild reporter Eric Peters. The only confirmed interest and ongoing negotiation by City is for Lorient defender Huseynov. Both the "Manchester Evening News" and Fabrizio Romano have confirmed that the…

This season's second Premier League "Double Red Club" did not present a one-sided trend like the first leg. Manchester United took the lead in the second half and quickly turned the score around with two goals from Liverpool. Diawara "saved the day" again, and both sides had to settle for a draw, each taking a point from Anfield. For Manchester United, this was a very important game. Prior to this, they had suffered three consecutive defeats in the Premier League without scoring a single goal. Statistics show that if Manchester United were still unable to score and lost to Liverpool, it would be the first time in over a hundred years of team history that they experienced four consecutive defeats without scoring, with the last such occurrence happening a year before Old Trafford, the Theater of Dreams, was even completed. Unsurprisingly, Rashford did not appear on the squad list, with Amorim citing "injury" as the reason, although everyone knew the real deal. Similarly, the controversial Garnacho did not start but came on as a substitute for Menu in the second half, with his positive performance seemingly reassuring everyone that Garnacho had not yet become another Rashford. Continuing to bench the top scorer of the league this season, Amorim made it clear to the outside world that he had decisively made his choice, sending a clear signal that Rashford could not stay! Although Rashford has been out for some time, Manchester United's performance has been quite poor, but they were able to turn the tide against Manchester City, draw with Liverpool,…

Lisandro Martinez has openly expressed his firm belief in Manchester United's head coach, Ruben Amorim, and his coaching staff. Since joining Manchester United from Sporting CP last November, Amorim has yet to completely reverse the team's downward trend in overall performance. However, there have been some positive changes as the tactical system is gradually implemented. Despite Amorim mentioning the possibility of a relegation threat for Manchester United during a press conference, the team managed to secure a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in an intense match on Sunday, bringing about some positive signals. Liverpool currently tops the Premier League standings, while Manchester United nearly secured a victory at Anfield in this thrilling encounter. Amad scored the equalizing goal in the final 10 minutes of the game, while Harry Maguire missed a golden opportunity to score in the dying moments, failing to help the team turn the tide. Nonetheless, Martinez's goal helped Manchester United take a 1-0 lead in the second half. After the match, he told MUTV, "Of course, I feel somewhat disappointed because we came here to win, and until the very end, we showed that we had the potential to do so, but we ultimately didn't secure the victory." He candidly added, "But I am satisfied with the team's performance. We gave it our all, played well, and were very free. In previous matches, we overthought things, played somewhat nervously, and even felt pressured. But in today's game, we demonstrated more character and personality." Martinez emphasized the team's progress: "I have complete faith in this team and in the…

Liverpool has become an undefended city, with Arnold's Route 66 allowing Manchester United to pass unimpeded, and Lima scores a goal! The snow is flying at Anfield, the accumulated snow has been cleared to the sidelines and piled up into snowmen. The sky is still sprinkled with snowflakes! Manchester United roared into Liverpool, this undefended city tonight! Arnold's Route 66, open for you! The Double Reds never lack bloodiness. The daily listless clock-in and clock-out of Manchester United has finally woken up! You can never wake up a person pretending to sleep! Unless he wakes up himself! Zhuangzi once told a story about "Yao ceding the world." Emperor Yao wanted to hand over the world to the hermit Xu You to govern. Xu You said: "The oriole builds its nest in the forest, but occupies only one branch; the mole drinks water from the Yellow River, but only enough to fill its belly. What use is the world to me?" "Even if the cook does not prepare the sacrificial meal, the priest should not go beyond his place to replace him in the kitchen." This is where the idiom "stepping out of bounds to take over the kitchen" comes from. Gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, modern people no longer worry about this. Rooney has returned home to be a house husband. Cooking is one side of a man showing his intelligence. Lima and Maguire often rush up to support Arnold's side of the highway attack, and Lima also seized the opportunity to show off his ability to score a…

In the wee hours of the night just past, Arsenal fans undoubtedly felt a sense of gratitude towards Manchester United. Had it not been for United holding Liverpool to a draw at Anfield, Arsenal's title hopes would have been all but dashed. On the early morning of January 6th, Beijing time, the second "Double Red" match of the season took place, with Liverpool hosting Manchester United. The game nearly faced cancellation due to heavy snow at Anfield, but after considerable efforts, it proceeded as scheduled. It is unclear whether the weather had an impact, but Liverpool's performance was far from their usual standard, while United played with an almost manic energy, ultimately securing a surprising 2-2 draw against the formidable Liverpool. Playing away, United focused their attacks on the left flank, nearly overwhelming Alexander-Arnold. Not long into the second half, Fernandes delivered a brilliant pass, and Martinez scored a close-range shot to give United the lead. After conceding, Liverpool launched a counterattack and quickly scored two goals to take the lead. Gakpo showcased his individual prowess with a powerful shot to level the score, followed by Salah converting a penalty to make it 2-1. At a critical juncture, substitute Ganche crossed the ball, and Diawara met it with a shot to secure a 2-2 draw. Although both teams ended up with a point each, they were likely unsatisfied with the outcome. Liverpool could not defeat United at home, leaving them feeling不甘 (unwilling to accept), while United missed out on taking all three points at Anfield due to Maguire's missed opportunity,…

In the highly anticipated "Double Red" match of the 20th round of the Premier League that concluded in the early hours of January 6th, Beijing time, Liverpool was held to a 2-2 draw at home by Manchester United. In this game, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's right-back valued at 75 million euros, sparked outrage due to his poor performance. Both of Liverpool's conceded goals were closely related to his lackadaisical attitude and poor defense. In the 52nd minute, after a rash passing error, Alexander-Arnold remained lethargic and did not press forward to challenge, instead allowing Bruno Fernandes to move horizontally before delivering a through ball. This led to Lisandro Martinez breaking into the penalty area and scoring with a powerful shot from a tight angle. Liverpool's second goal conceded also originated from the right side defended by Alexander-Arnold. During the goal, he was out of position, inexplicably retreating to the center of the penalty area, which forced center-back Ibrahima Konate to move wide to defend against Alejandro Garnacho. This left a gaping hole in the middle, allowing Diawara to score. After a ridiculous passing error near the sideline, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk glared at Alexander-Arnold with a look that could "kill with eyes," clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with the player's poor performance in the game. Manchester United legend Roy Keane severely criticized Alexander-Arnold, saying, "He runs around aimlessly in defense, defending like a primary school student. He must do better. People say he might go to Real Madrid. But judging by his current defensive level, he might end up at Tranmere…

This was the first time since 2015 that Manchester United had scored two goals at Anfield, and the draw left Manchester United fans very satisfied. The first half was intense but goalless. In the second half, just after the opening minutes at 52 minutes, Manchester United made a fine combination in the front court, with B fee assisting Lima to blast a shot from a small angle and take the lead 1-0. However, Liverpool quickly responded with an equally fine combination, as McAllister assisted Gakpo to equalize at 1-1. At 70 minutes, De Ligt made a mistake in defense for Manchester United, handling the ball and conceding a penalty. Salah converted the penalty for Liverpool to score two goals in succession, taking the lead at 2-1. Surprisingly, just ten minutes later, Manchester United broke through Liverpool's right flank again, with Garnacho assisting Diawara, who directly shot to level the score. The game ultimately ended in a draw. Post-match statistics showed that possession was even between the two sides, with Liverpool having 19 shots to Manchester United's 13. Another impressive statistic for Manchester United was their 20 successful tackles, indicating a very active performance that strongly disrupted Liverpool's offense. As a result, Manchester United did not seem to be at a disadvantage on the field, despite being 14th in the league facing the top team. In the final moments, Manchester United even had a chance…

Manchester United, with 23 points, ranked 13th, only seven points above the relegation zone. After Manchester United managed a draw away against Liverpool, five incredible moments and two undeniable facts emerged. Five incredible moments: Before the game, most opinions suggested that Manchester United would surely lose away to Liverpool due to the significant difference in form and strength between the two teams. However, Manchester United played an exhilarating match at Anfield, not only scoring first but also equalizing when trailing. It's no wonder many Red Devils fans believe that even if United lost, they would still applaud. The last time Manchester United scored at Liverpool's home was on December 16, 2018, when they lost 1-3. Since then, they had failed to score in consecutive away games for six years, finally breaking the goal drought. Despite Liverpool's inability to win, a draw was enough to extend their unbeaten record.

In the highly anticipated "Double Red" match of the 20th round of the Premier League that concluded in the early hours of January 6th, Beijing time, Liverpool was held to a 2-2 draw at home by Manchester United. Despite maintaining an unbeaten record in all competitions (20 wins and 4 draws), dropping points at home against a struggling Manchester United is clearly not a satisfying result for them. Liverpool was targeted by Manchester United, while the other two major title contenders, Arsenal and Chelsea, also failed to seize the opportunity to close the gap. The London duo also "crashed" without winning this round, with Arsenal drawing 1-1 away after taking the lead against Brighton. They are currently 6 points behind Liverpool after playing one more game, temporarily ranking second in the league table. Chelsea also drew 1-1 away after taking the lead against Crystal Palace, and after failing to win in the last four rounds (2 draws and 2 losses), they have dropped to fourth place in the league table. On the contrary, reigning champions Manchester City have bounced back from the bottom, achieving two consecutive victories after defeating Leicester City and West Ham United, and rejoining the title race. Currently, City is only 2 points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, and with one more game played, they are only 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool. Considering City's terrifying ability to catch up in the second half of the season, no one dares to rule them out of the title race prematurely. In addition, Newcastle, who came from behind to beat Tottenham…
