切尔西在最近三场比赛中输给了西汉姆联和平泽尼特。唯一获胜的利兹联也被对手倒了两球。期间，他们一共丢了8球。这是针对以防守着称的切尔西。 其实这是一个很大的问题，尤其是和他们上赛季曼城和利物浦的表现相比，一个关键原因是球队的伤病。坎特、奇尔维尔和查洛巴都受伤了。科瓦契奇也缺席了一段时间，尽管图赫尔在赛前采访中表示坎特和查洛巴都已经恢复训练，但他也表示坎特还没有完全康复，还需要一段时间。   另一方面，埃弗顿作为英超强队，本赛季的表现并不理想。联赛16轮过后，球队仅取得5胜3平8负的成绩，8个客场仅取得1胜。 2平5负，本赛季客场实力很差。上轮联赛，球队客场1-3不敌水晶宫。球队的进攻核心理查德-李森因中国人身体受伤提前被换下。赛后他被证实小腿肌肉撕裂。将缺席数周。在输掉这场比赛后，埃弗顿在过去的5场联赛中也遭遇了第四场失利。球队的士气难免会受到一定的打击。更严重的是埃弗顿内部矛盾激化。边锋迪涅与主帅贝尼特斯不和。他还连续两场无缘大名单。对此，贝尼特斯教练没有给出任何解释。目前埃弗顿内忧外患，这场比赛切尔西，恐怕也是力不从心。   目前，切尔西的盘口为该队1.75高。数据给了主队很大的支持。考虑到埃弗顿目前严重的伤病问题，回归可能要改成541，但切尔西从来不惧怕反球队，相信定位球可以穿透埃弗顿。推荐蓝军获胜。

Manchester City reasserted their title credentials by thrashing Leeds United 7-0 to win their seventh game in a row and extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to four points. After Stuart Dallas’ awful goal-line clearing effort, City were two up after 13 minutes, with Phil Foden’s opening – the 500th Premier League goal of Pep Guardiola’s reign – finding the net, before Jack Grealish added a…

Arsenal is now the weirdest team in the history of soccer. Three of the five best teams in the world right now are in the Premier League. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are like if there was a third team in LaLiga just as good as Real Madrid and Barcelona in the mid-to-early 2010s. Manchester City has a plus-21 goal differential, Chelsea a plus-27 and Liverpool a plus-31. Figuratively, they’re…

朗尼克的曼联执教首秀，人们见到了一支不一样的红魔。不同于索尔斯克亚时期的章法凌乱，也有别于卡里克代理阶段的高效率，德国人到任后的第一场比赛，老特拉福德就出现了一支高位逼抢初见雏形的曼联。尽管最终是靠着弗雷德的世界波赢得胜利，但面貌逐渐焕然一新的红魔，还是让人看到一丝希望。 半个月前，曼联远征沃特福德遭遇一场1比4溃败，俱乐部高层终于忍无可忍，决定将命硬的索帅解雇。自那时起，“谁是曼联新帅”就成为热议的话题，齐达内当然是最优解，但法国人不愿来，与波切蒂诺的绯闻也被传出，却始终差些意思。兜兜转转之后，曼联官宣的是朗尼克的名字，多少有些出人意料。 朗尼克何许人也？在他成为曼联主帅之前，或许并没有多少球迷闻其大名。毕竟，作为一名“学院派”主帅，朗尼克自成为一名职业教练起，多数时间都是在德甲打拼，执教的球队是沙尔克04、霍芬海姆，最“大牌”的大概只是莱比锡，冠军荣誉也多停留在杯赛层面。单看简历，人们大概会有疑问：这样的教练，凭什么成为曼联主帅？ 与水晶宫一战，大概可以成为一面镜子，展现朗尼克的部分足球哲学。此役德国人排出的首发与以往并没有太大不同，阵型是4231，C罗坐镇锋线，拉什福德、B费、桑乔依次排开，后腰是当下最为稳健的麦克托米奈-弗雷德组合，马奎尔和林德洛夫继续搭档锋线。人员是无法立刻更新的，教练的价值，当然就在于他为球队带来的变化。 比赛开始之后，这支曼联给人最大的变化就在逼抢层面。放在索帅时代，红魔虽有逼抢，但大多不痛不痒，而高位逼抢恰恰是能够体现一支球队战术素养和战略运用合理性的。以往的曼联，总给外界一种“懒散”的印象，似乎只要稍加破解，逼抢便形同虚设，反倒是防线留下大片空当。

Ralf Rangnick’s Manchester United revolution is still in its infancy, but the fans who streamed away from Old Trafford, having watched the German’s managerial reign begin with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, will have done so convinced of what his team is supposed to look like. For Rangnick, 63, the most important statistic from his first game as a manager in more than two-and-a-half years was that United scored…

曼联已经锁定了他们的临时主帅，德国人朗尼克将执教曼联到本赛季结束。 63岁的朗尼克已经和曼联达成协议，他将签约两年半，但其中半年为执教合同，剩下两年时间他将担任曼联的顾问。曼联需要和莫斯科火车头就朗尼克解约达成协议，但曼联方面认为不会有问题。 由于劳工证问题，朗尼克还无法执教本周末曼联对切尔西的比赛，卡里克将继续带队。 朗尼克执教过斯图加特、汉诺威96、沙尔克04、霍芬海姆、莱比锡等球队，取得了非常优秀的成绩，他帮助莱比锡从第四级别联赛球队成长为德甲强队。  

Premier League leaders Chelsea were left frustrated as Manchester United’s conservative game plan earned them a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. With Cristiano Ronaldo benched, United redefined the idea of caution in the first half, taking 21 minutes to touch the ball in the final third and 44 minutes to have a touch in Chelsea’s box, but the hosts struggled to break them down. Callum Hudson-Odoi saw an effort well…

In an alternate universe, Mauricio Pochettino’s Manchester United have just cruised past Watford to keep pace with the Premier League leaders, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is preparing his Molde team for a trip to Brann. Instead, the reality is that Solskjaer, who was meant to hand over the reins to the Argentine more than two years ago, is only now just saying his goodbyes. When Jose Mourinho was sacked in…

曼联官方写道：“奥莱，永远是曼联的传奇。我们很遗憾的做出了这个艰难的决定。尽管过去几周的表现令人失望，但我们不会忘了过去三年间，奥莱为球队重建所做的努力。” “奥莱在俱乐部的历史上的位置永远是牢固的，他不仅仅是一名出色的曼联球员，他也是一名出色的伟大的教练。作为曼联大家庭的一员，他将永远在老特拉福德球场受欢迎。” 曼联本赛季在12轮英超联赛中5胜2平5负积17分，目前排名第7，在本轮比赛中，曼联客场1-4负于沃特福德，这也成为了索帅下课的导火索。索尔斯克亚也成为了本赛季英超第6位下课的主帅。

Nobody ever really doubted Liverpool’s Premier League title credentials when they lost at West Ham prior to the international break, but if there were any question marks over the staying power of Jurgen Klopp and his players, they banished them emphatically with a comprehensive 4-0 win Saturday against Arsenal at Anfield. The mark of a great team is how it reacts to a setback and Liverpool did that in brutal…
