Currently, Chelsea tops the standings with 82 points, while Manchester United, which has one more game to play, is ranked second with 66 points, 16 points behind Chelsea.

If they want to come back, they need to win all the next 6 league rounds, including a game against Chelsea.
At the same time, Chelsea will need to lose all of their next 7 games.
Such a situation is almost impossible to happen in reality, so Chelsea's path to defending the title has become very clear.
In the following time, everyone's attention was directed to the Champions League three days later.
The media also released special reports one after another——

Because Real Madrid, Barcelona and Schalke 04 all won by big scores in the first round, they are almost certain to occupy three seats in the top four. Only Chelsea and Manchester United still have suspense.
However, more people are also focusing on discussing Xiao Yu's injury situation.

"Good morning, viewers, I am Zhang Lu!"
"Six days ago at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United defeated this year's unstoppable blue team Chelsea 1:0. Moreover, their billionaire Xiao Yu also retired injured in the last game. So far, we have not received any information about Xiao Yu's injury. According to the news, Xiao Yu also watched the Blues’ league game with his boss Abramovich in the stands in the last game.”
"With the bleeding like in the last game, it's really hard to say. As you said, Chelsea officials have never released any news about Xiao Yu's injury. Generally speaking, most of the injuries are serious and have not yet been determined. Recovery cycle.”
"Hey! I hope Xiao Yu recovers soon! Let's turn our attention to the Theater of Dreams. Historically, the two teams have met 160 times in various competitions. Among them, Manchester United has the advantage with 67 wins, 48 draws and 45 losses. The total number of goals scored In terms of statistics, they also lead Chelsea with 257 goals to 194. However, Manchester United’s most recent home loss was in the last league game, losing 1:3 to Chelsea.”
"This game is extremely important for both teams, especially Manchester United."
"How should I put it...Chelsea has already won the League Cup and League Championship this season. The only things Manchester United can strive for are the Champions League and the FA Cup."
"Hehe! These two teams really suffer from each other. You see, if Chelsea wants to get involved in the Champions League and FA Cup, they must beat Manchester United. And if Manchester United wants to get involved in these two championships, they must first defeat Chelsea. This is love and hate."
"Yeah, let's first introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. The first is the Red Devils Manchester United at Old Trafford. Today, Sir Alex Ferguson still deployed a 4-4-2 formation.
Goalkeeper No. 1 veteran Edwin van der Sar,
The four defenders are No. 3 Evra, No. 15 Vidic, No. 5 Ferdinand, and No. 22 O'Shea.
The four midfielders are No. 13 Park Ji-sung, No. 11 Giggs, No. 16 Carrick, and No. 17 Nani.
The forward combination is No. 10 Rooney and No. 14 Hernandez. "
"In terms of starting, after the last round of the league against Fulham, Edwin van der Sar, Giggs, Ferdinand and others returned to the starting lineup. Rooney is still partnered with Hernandez at the striker, and Park Ji-sung appears in the middle of the midfield with Kari. Ke cooperates. The young player Rafael, who kicked Xiao Yu many times in the last game, was not included in the squad."
"Ancelotti used his usual 4-3-3 formation for Chelsea.
Goalkeeper No. 1 Petr Cech,
The four defenders are No. 3 Ashley Cole, No. 26 Terry, No. 6 Van Dijk, and No. 2 Ivanovic.
Back midfielder No. 5 Essien,
The two central midfielders are No. 8 Lampard and No. 10 Toni Kroos.
The forward trident is No. 15 Malouda, No. 9 Torres and No. 39 Anelka. "
"Chelsea's Torres continues to start, while Drogba sits on the bench. On the defensive line, Van Dijk rarely starts in important games after the return of David Luiz. He also started for Chelsea again today. There is a surprise. That is, Xiao Yu is also on the squad. I remember Ancelotti made a similar arrangement once, when Xiao Yu returned from injury early."
"Oh, I also remember the league game when Wolves were reversed in January."
"Yeah! Yes, is there nothing wrong with Xiao Yu's injury at all?"
"Maybe Ancelotti is giving Ferguson eye drops to make it difficult for him to arrange things calmly."
"Yeah! This is possible. We see that the players from both sides have lined up and are ready to go on stage. Let's pay attention to this most crucial game of the Champions League quarter-finals and see who will win today."
