Yesterday, Bournemouth defeated Newcastle 4-1 away from home, entering the battle for European tickets and showing the power of a dark horse. Tonight, an even bigger dark horse emerged, potentially disrupting the Premier League title race. Nottingham Forest won 3-2 at home against Southampton, securing seven victories in their last eight matches. Their points now equal Arsenal's, trailing Liverpool, who are at the top of the table, by six points. This old powerhouse, which once had its glory days, has truly taken off this season. Nottingham Forest's start to the season was average, with five wins, four draws, and three losses in their first 12 games. At that time, their overall record was not particularly impressive. However, they did have classic cases of beating Liverpool 1-0 away and drawing 1-1 with Chelsea away. But after a 0-3 defeat to Manchester City in the 14th round, Nottingham Forest went on a six-game winning streak, including victories over strong teams like Manchester United, Villa, and Tottenham. In the previous round, Nottingham Forest almost defeated Liverpool at home. They took the lead but were eventually drawn, narrowly missing out on a double victory over Liverpool. In this round, facing the relegation-threatened Southampton, they took a 3-0 lead in the first half. Veteran Wood contributed with a goal and an assist, bringing his Premier League goal tally to 14 this season, equaling his personal single-season league goal record. It's worth noting that the season is only halfway through, so breaking the record seems inevitable. After this round's victory, Nottingham Forest's points reached 44, equaling…

In the 21st minute, Son Heung-min passed across from the left side of the penalty area, and Solanke quickly followed up with a shot, but Alisson saved it again.

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a painful defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the 21st round of the Premier League, with the Gunners securing a 2-1 victory that has reignited title hopes for the £1.1 billion club. The match was filled with tension from the start, as if the atmosphere was taut like a fully drawn bowstring.

Under this relentless pressure, Tottenham's defense finally cracked, allowing Arsenal to equalize before halftime. The sounds of surprise and joy reverberated through the exhilarating match, with every corner of Wembley Stadium cheering for Arsenal's courage. Tottenham's dejected mood grew heavier in the second half. As their attacks were repeatedly thwarted, their mindset appeared to subtly shift.

Do you know? Manchester United is currently eyeing a center forward who is about to become a free agent. This player has an average of nearly 0.5 goals per game in his career. It's no secret that top European clubs are also closely watching, and the intensity of this competition is truly fierce. In the past eight days alone, Manchester United has truly demonstrated the initial effectiveness of the 3-4-3 formation and tactical requirements set by Amorim. Initially, they faced Liverpool at Anfield in a fierce battle that ended in a 2-2 draw. This result ignited the morale of Manchester United, which soared. Subsequently, in the FA Cup, Manchester United faced Arsenal, another formidable opponent, and successfully eliminated them. In that match, Manchester United had a player sent off and persisted for over an hour with one less player on the field. However, they ultimately held on tenaciously. To fully leverage Amorim's coaching abilities, it is essential to introduce players who fit his system more closely. The wing-backs need to be able to handle pressure steadily in both attack and defense, and finding a strong center forward is also crucial. Speaking of Højlund, since joining from Atalanta, his average goal tally is only 0.34 (a total of 23 goals in 67 games). As for Zirkzee, his specific performance in the English league still needs to be observed. According to the latest information from TuttoJuve, Manchester United is currently evaluating a highly efficient center forward. It is said that there is a gentleman who will definitely embark on a transfer journey…

At 4 am on January 16th, the 21st round of the Premier League featured a North London derby with Arsenal hosting Tottenham. Tottenham took the initiative as visitors, with Son Heung-min scoring the first goal for his team. However, Arsenal managed to turn the tables in a passive situation, benefiting from Solanke's own goal and Trossard's contribution, ultimately defeating their league rivals. Arsenal's 2-1 victory highlighted the impact of Arteta's decision to bench the £55 million player, which proved to be an immediate success, ending their two-game losing streak. In this round of Premier League matches, Arsenal's competitors Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea all drew, but Arsenal did not disappoint their supporters by securing a crucial three points.

The ball took a deflection and flew into Arsenal's net, putting the Gunners behind. In the 40th minute, Arsenal capitalized on a corner kick to pull one back, with Gabriel's header hitting Solanke and changing direction to find the net. Four minutes later, Odegaard provided an assist as Trossard advanced down the left flank and scored with a shot, giving Arsenal the lead.

In recent years, Arsenal has made significant investments, and this season they have performed steadily, ranking third in the league. However, the Gunners have suffered consecutive blows in the English League Cup and FA Cup, losing the first leg of the League Cup semi-final to Newcastle and being eliminated by Manchester United on penalties in the FA Cup. Additionally, Jesus suffered a left knee anterior cruciate ligament injury. In the midweek double-header of the Premier League, the Gunners faced Tottenham in the North London derby. Son Heung-min scored the opening goal, Gabriel created an own goal, and Trossard overtook to secure a 2:1 comeback victory for Arsenal, earning them three points. Although Tottenham achieved victories in both the League Cup and FA Cup, their performance was disappointing as they were dragged into extra time by a semi-professional team. Currently ranked 13th in the Premier League, Tottenham has only managed one win in their last eight league matches. The team's potential is unpredictable due to the wide range between their highs and lows, and their form is difficult to gauge. Due to injuries to several frontline players, Arteta had to rely on Havertz, Trossard, and Sterling to form the attacking line; Odegaard, Thomas, and Rice partnered in midfield; Tinnbergen, Saliba, Gabriel, and Skrill defended the backline, with Raya remaining in goal. Playing at home, Arsenal started aggressively after kick-off, with Odegaard and Trossard both having chances but failing to score. In the 16th minute, Czech goalkeeper Jansky's slow clearance was intercepted by Havertz, but fortunately, he quickly controlled the second ball…

The defense consisted of Mazraoui, De Ligt, and Lisandro Martinez, with Onana as the starting goalkeeper. New head coach Amorim is still experimenting with the lineup, featuring a starting XI worth €473 million and an average age of 24.9 years, significantly younger than previous lineups. Bodø/Glimt opted for a 4-3-3 formation, with a starting XI valued at only €22.7 million, highlighting the considerable difference in quality between the two sides. Despite this, Bodø/Glimt managed to hold United to a 2-2 draw at halftime.
