The 34th round of the English Premier League holds strong emotions. Arsenal and Manchester United face off this Saturday at the Emirates Stadium, in London, in the fight for a spot in the next Champions League. Londoners appear with 57 points, three less than the Red Devils. Both are outside the qualification zone of the European Champions League, today closed by Tottenham, with the same 57 points as Arsenal.
Tottenham enter the field this Saturday, away from home, against Brentford. Against a mid-table rival, who has 39 points and few aspirations, Spurs are unlikely to have trouble scoring. This makes the loser of the match between Arsenal and Manchester United in a delicate situation in the leaderboard.
“We know that a classic has the same scoring value as any other game and that’s why I don’t like to increase the pressure even more. But we are in a moment where all games, including these, are fundamental. game and win this match in the name of our goal. Everyone is focused and worked hard for it,” said Mikel Arteta, Arsenal boss.
The dispute for leadership is between Manchester City, who have 77 points, and Liverpool, who have one point less. Both will play at home. On Saturday City host Watford, who appears in the relegation zone with 22 points won.
On Sunday the main attraction is the Liverpool, which at Anfield will face Everton in the city classic. Everton, with 29 points, are threatened by sticking and that makes the derby even more attractive.
Even on Sunday the Chelsea, third place with 62 points and with the Champions League spot on the way, welcomes West Ham at Stamford Bridge Stadium in London. The confrontation promises to be very disputed because the visitors, with 52 points, are in the running for a spot in the next Europa League.
