There are still five rounds of the league, and the Premier League championship situation has now entered a white-hot stage.
Leeds United, which previously defeated Manchester United and completed the overtake of the "Red Devils", is now ranked first with 73 points, while Manchester United is closely followed with 72 points.
Ranked third is Chelsea, which has maintained an unbeaten streak of 9 games recently. After losing to Liverpool in an away game on January 20, Mourinho's team almost maintained a complete victory in the league in the next three months, except for a 1-1 draw with Leeds United in the 31st round of the league.
Behind them, Liverpool and Arsenal have almost withdrawn from the competition for the league title and are fully committed to fighting for fourth place and fighting for the last Champions League spot.
The ownership of the league championship basically depends on the first three teams. Even if Liverpool and Arsenal still have the theoretical possibility of winning, they may be completely out of luck after one or two league games.
It is worth mentioning that because the intensity of the Premier League this season is quite exaggerated, Chelsea's 9-game unbeaten streak is already the second longest unbeaten record this season.
As for who is first?
That must be Leeds United. Leeds United has not lost a game since the beginning of the season and has maintained an unbeaten streak of 33 games. And the most important thing is that the team has never conceded more than one goal in all games.
In other words, no Premier League team has ever scored two or more goals against Leeds United.
If it weren't for Leeds United's poor attack this season, there would be more draws. Just relying on the above points, we should have won the championship in advance, instead of just grinding here.
Leeds United, Manchester United, and Chelsea not only performed well in the league, but also performed well in intercontinental competitions.
Leeds United successfully reached the top four of the Europa League, while Manchester United and Chelsea also entered the top four of the Champions League.
All three teams have the potential to win the double at the end of the season.
Oh no.
Manchester United may be the treble winners because they are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Chelsea is even better. Not only did they enter the semi-finals of the FA Cup, they also defeated Arsenal in February and won the League Cup.
So every next game is crucial for the three teams.
In the 34th round of the league, Leeds United took the lead in defeating Blackburn Rovers, who ranked 13th in the league, 3-1 away from home. The league match between Manchester United and Chelsea was rescheduled due to the FA Cup match.
In the FA Cup semi-finals, Manchester United and Chelsea defeated their respective opponents and met in the FA Cup final.
In the 35th round of the league, Leeds United and Chelsea began to fall apart and tied with their respective opponents. Manchester United, on the other hand, made great progress and took away Middlesbrough 2-0.
Leeds United are now 2 points ahead of Manchester United and 5 points ahead of Chelsea with one more game.
After that, they each started the first leg of the European semi-finals.
On April 25, in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United defeated AC Milan 3-2 at home.
On April 26, in the first leg of another Champions League semi-final, Chelsea defeated Liverpool 1-0.
On April 27, Leeds United drew 1-1 with Osasuna in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.
Two days later, the 36th round of the league continued, and all teams used their last skills to fight to the death.
The first game was Manchester United's away game against Everton. Even though Ferguson deliberately rotated, he still won the "Toffees" Everton 4-2.
On the other side, in the game that was going on at the same time, Chelsea tied again. They were tied 2-2 by Bolton at home, and the situation became increasingly grim.
Mourinho stayed in the club office until late, waiting for the result of the Leeds United game later.
After the result came out an hour later, Mourinho sat helplessly in his chair.
Leeds United won, beating Sheffield United 1-0 away from home.
Kuyt scored early in the first half, and Mourinho had been praying that Sheffield United could recover and even beat Leeds United in an upset.
But after waiting for a whole game, there was no Sheffield United goal.
The 5-point gap became 7 points.
With one game less, Chelsea needs to win all the next three games, while Leeds United needs to lose all the next games.
As for Arsenal and Liverpool behind him, Mourinho has been too lazy to care about them. As early as the end of the last round of league games, they completely announced that they had no chance of winning the championship.
After the domestic competition, the three teams began to prepare for the European competition.
Chelsea and Leeds United are relatively relaxed. Leeds United is playing at home and Chelsea is playing against Liverpool, so there is no need to travel.
But Manchester United is different. They have to rush to Milan to challenge AC Milan away from home.
In the first Champions League match between Liverpool and Chelsea, Liverpool played Chelsea 1-0 at home within 90 minutes.
After overtime and a penalty shootout, Chelsea once again fell in the Champions League semi-finals and missed the final.
A similar scenario happened in Milan the next day.
3 to 0.
Kaka taught the world two lines of ancient Chinese poetry with his phenomenal performance.
"The people on Mo are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.", "The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star."
Both Manchester United and Chelsea were eliminated, and they can only pin their hopes on the league.
But Leeds United and George Lee don't think so. I want both the League and the UEFA Cup.
2 to 0.
Leeds United, who returned home, taught the Spanish team what real high pressure means. The elegance of the Spanish team simply did not work at Elland Road.
Quick, tough and decisive.
Leeds United advance to the Europa League final with their heads held high, and their opponent will be Espanyol, who is also a La Liga team.
Then the 37th round of the league.
First, Leeds United won 2-0 away at Reading with goals from Smith and Davies, and then Manchester United won 1-0 against their city rivals Manchester City in the Manchester Derby, continuing to follow Leeds United.
I don’t know if it’s because they were eliminated from the Champions League, or if Leeds United’s previous win completely extinguished Chelsea’s possibility of winning the championship. In short, Mourinho's team failed to win again.
The 1-1 result was fatal to both Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea missed the championship, while Arsenal was overtaken by Liverpool and fell to fifth in the league.
Now, only Leeds United and Manchester United have hope of winning the championship, and the key game is this make-up match of the 34th round of the league. Chelsea plays Manchester United at home.
George Li took the entire coaching staff to London to watch the game. He did not want any delay in information, he just wanted to see the results in person.
If Manchester United loses or draws, then the final initiative to compete for the championship will still be in Leeds United's own hands.
If Manchester United wins, then whether Leeds United wins the championship in the final round depends on Ferguson's face.
"Come on Chelsea, come on Mourinho."
If it weren't for the fear of being photographed by other reporters, George Lee would really like to put on a Chelsea jersey and cheer for Mourinho's team for 90 minutes. .
