If Liverpool has not secured the Premier League title today and Arsenal still has a chance to catch up with Liverpool, can they score 3 points at Anfield Stadium? The answer is that Arsenal, who loves to lose the chain, cannot win such a critical victory. Although they cannot win the championship now, if they can score 3 points today, they can at least lock in the top 5. However, Arsenal is Arsenal, and they cannot do it. Before the game, Arsenal first had to line up to welcome the champion Liverpool. After the opening, the two teams launched a counterattack. In the second minute, Arsenal had a free kick opportunity at 45 degrees on the left side of the frontcourt. Liverpool made a mistake in the back defense, and Arsenal got an excellent opportunity. However, Saka's single shot from a very close range in the small penalty area was missed. In the 19th minute, Liverpool made a long pass in the backcourt and quickly counterattacked, Arsenal quickly returned to defense, and Saliba cleared the ball and kicked it out of the sideline. Liverpool quickly shot the left sideline on the frontcourt. Robinson received the ball and broke into the penalty area and passed the ball with his left foot in front of the goal. Jakepo scored a very close point in the small penalty area and headed the ball. Liverpool scored a 1:0 first.

Just one minute later, Liverpool counterattacked quickly from the right, Bradley made a subvert, Sobosloy inserted into the penalty area and removed the ball and got a good opportunity for a small-angle half-single. Facing the goalkeeper Raya who was attacking, Sobosloy made a selfless pass and made the ball. Dias came to the middle and shoveled the ball into the empty goal. Arsenal's defense lost 2 goals in a row in one minute. These 3 points are really not something they can take if they want. Two minutes later, Liverpool played less and had a murderous intent in the frontcourt. Jones shook the defense from the right side of the penalty spot and turned around and shot hard. The ball slightly missed the post. In the first half, Arsenal had almost no decent attack except for the opening one-on-one opportunity, and was already 2 goals behind in the first half.

Change of sides and fights Arsenal to strengthen its offense. Just one minute of the game, Arsenal pressed on the left, Trosad shook the defense from the edge of the penalty area and passed the ball in front of the goal. Martineli grabbed the point in the front of the small penalty area and turned back to the moon and headed the ball. The ball flew into the bottom left corner of the goal, and Arsenal scored a goal 1:2. In the 70th minute, Arsenal counterattacked on the right, White got the ball from the front of the penalty area and passed it across. Odegao received the ball and made a slight adjustment and shot with his left foot. Allison saved the ball hard. Merino followed up with a quick dive and dived the headspace goal to score, and Arsenal equalized the score 2:2. In the 78th minute, Merino tackled Nunes and Sobosloi in succession, and the referee gave him the second yellow card. After Merino was sent off, 10 players Arsenal were unable to score again. In the end, they tied Liverpool 2:2 away and suffered a three-round defeat. In terms of the standings, as Arsenal was unable to defeat Liverpool, the competition for 5 was becoming more and more lively in the end. The dark horse Nottingham Forest completely collapsed. They were still unable to win today. They were already overtaken by Villa by one point and fell out of the top 6. Now Villa is only 5 points behind Arsenal, so Arsenal is still unable to lock in the top 5. Arsenal may not have imagined that they don’t want the Champions League champions and will win the second place in the Premier League. As a result, they can’t lock in the fifth place in advance. After winning, Newcastle surpassed Manchester City to return to the top 3 by 1 point, and took the initiative to compete for 5, but they only scored 3 points compared to Chelsea and Villado. The last two rounds were full of suspense. In terms of the scorer list, it is almost impossible for Salah to reach 30+20. He has been silent for many rounds. After the team wins the championship, Salah's data may remain at 28+18. Isaac ranked second with 23 goals, unless he went wild in the last two rounds, he would basically be unable to catch up with Salah. Wood scored a goal last night, becoming the fourth player of the season to score 20 goals, and continues to rank fourth.
