Before the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals arrived, the fifth round of the Premier League last season started as scheduled.

Liverpool took the lead in playing against Fulham, who had no desires at home.

For the sake of the Champions League semi-finals, Koeman sent out the main force, but the game strategy adopted was blitz tactics.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool took the initiative to attack. Qin Xiong, who had recovered from injury, committed an opponent's foul on the left side of the frontcourt. Then Alonso took a free kick and entered the area in front of the goal. Thiago Silva successfully headed the ball!

Liverpool took a goal and then retreated and contracted the defense.

Fulham did not make a big fuss and insisted on fighting against Liverpool to the death. As long as Liverpool did not have to force them to the dead, for example, he had to attack and score goals even though he was ahead, then Fulham could calmly accept the loss at Anfield.

The game turned into a rhythm of heavy thunder and low rain. Although Liverpool also created some excellent offensive opportunities, they ultimately failed to seize the opportunity and thus failed to expand their lead.

The final score is 1:0.

Liverpool successfully scored 3 points at home and continued to lead the standings.

After sweeping West Brom 4-0 in the last round, Manchester City suddenly returned to form. In the away game against Norwich, Manchester City started a big splash again and massacred the home team Norwich 6-1 away.

Although Norwich is a new team, he has completed the relegation task this season, so he seems to be very backbone when he was massacred by Manchester City at home and did not rise up to resist.

Manchester United successfully won the game at Old Trafford in this round, and did not continue the downward trend of losing the last round.

A 4-0 victory over Aston Villa continued to suppress Manchester City and put pressure on Liverpool.

Chelsea prepared for the Champions League semi-finals and stayed at home, and was defeated 2:0 by Newcastle United.

Tottenham defeated Bolton 4:1 away. Teams with pursuits either use Tian Ji's horse racing strategy to balance the gains and losses of the league and other battlefields, or make efforts wildly.

Arsenal created a shocking cold this round!

Losing 1:2 to Wigan Athletics at home.

Wigan Athletics, a nerve knife, always disrupted the situation in the giant war, but played extremely badly with teams of his own level. Otherwise, he would not have been declared successful in relegation at the end of the season.

Arsenal's four major undertakings are extremely difficult.

Before the Champions League semi-finals arrived, Liverpool still led the standings.

Liverpool scored 79 points.

Manchester United scored 78 points.

Manchester City scored 74 points.

Tottenham Hotspur points 62 points.

Arsenal scored 61 points.

Chelsea scored 57 points.

With four rounds left in the league, Manchester City's prospects for the championship are the least optimistic. In the battle for four, Chelsea almost announced it to be eliminated. If it cannot win the Champions League championship, Chelsea will miss the Champions League next season.

If nothing unexpected happens, the UEFA Champions League qualifiers will belong to one of North London's pair of arch rivals.

Liverpool has reached the most critical moment in the overall championship.

The battle in the Champions League is about to begin.

The Red Army prepared for this game in full swing.

The first game will be played in Anfield.

At the pre-match press conference, Koeman solemnly stated: "No team that can come to the Champions League semi-finals is a weak team, and in theory anyone can win the championship. We will not underestimate our opponents just because we lead Chelsea in the league. Just like Chelsea unexpectedly eliminated Barcelona, ​​and underestimating the Blues will inevitably be punished!"

Chelsea coach Di Matteo has no high requirements for going to Anfield.

"If we can leave with a scored draw at Anfield, we will be very satisfied and confident in advancing to the final. Anfield is the devil's home court in Europe. Many strong teams have failed at the doorstep of the Reds. Chelsea will defend the goal as much as possible, but according to Liverpool's condition and strength, it is almost impossible not to let them score. Then we will try our best to score."

On the evening of April 18, Anfield was unprecedentedly grand.

Because it was a civil war between local rich people, the atmosphere inside and outside Anfield Stadium was particularly warm.

Reds fans pulled up banners in the stands with Champions League champions Liverpool 7 and Chelsea 0!

They want to use this to show Chelsea the strong honor and suppress Chelsea's morale.

Chelsea is actually a tragic battle. Among the teams that have advanced to the semi-finals this season, Chelsea is the least optimistic team.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are more popular than Chelsea.

Needless to say, the defending champion is the number one favorite.

When the two teams walked into the stadium, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed, and the Red Army fans roared enthusiastically and cheered for the Red Army.

“Welcome to Anfield Stadium, where the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals will be played.

Defending champions Reds Liverpool face Chelsea, the strong team also from England.

Liverpool's performance this season is generally relatively stable and strong, leading other competitors with a slight advantage in the Premier League, but they have won the League Cup and reached the FA Cup final. They will move towards the Champions League final today, fighting on multiple fronts!

Chelsea's performance this season is surprising. Mourinho II Boas's transformation of the Blues failed. He was fired by Abraham midway through the season. Di Matteo then took over the team. Although he could not help the Blues recover in the league, he still stumbling. It is admirable that he led the team to the FA Cup final and led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. However, Chelsea's luck was not good, and they met the defending champion Liverpool.

Of course, Chelsea may not be able to deal with the other two opponents, whether it is Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Let’s take a look at the list of both sides.

Liverpool 433.

Goalkeeper: Reiner.

Defenders: Johnson, Scotter, Thiago Silva, Baynes.

Midfielder: Mascherano, Alonso, Cabaye.

Forwards: Gerald, Suarez, Qin Xiong.

Hey? Today, Koeman's arrangement of troops is not as normal as usual!

He actually let Gerald play the right winger and Kabaye serves as the central defender. This is really an unexpected formation.

But maybe this will have miraculous effects.

Chelsea 41.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Ramirez, Mereles, Lampard, Mikel, Mata.

Forward: Drogba.

Chelsea's nothing unexpected, they have put on the strongest lineup."
