What is going on here today is the 2017th round of the Premier League in the 2018-20 season. The main event of Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal is the London Derby.

For this game, the fans in London are paying attention and staring.

Fans of Arsenal, Tottenham, Fulham, West Ham United and other teams are watching this game. After all, these two teams now represent the highest level of London football. Want to see what flowers they can play?

Moreover, fans of the Manchester duo are also paying attention to this game, especially Manchester City fans.

In this round of competition, Manchester City will play away at Newcastle United, and Manchester City should be able to easily win.Now the Manchester City people are waiting for Crystal Palace to lose, so that they can widen the point difference.

At present, as long as Crystal Palace loses a game, Manchester City can take the initiative in their own hands.

Because if there is a three-pointer here, there will be a direct match between Manchester City and Crystal Palace next season, and the three-pointer can be regained. In this way, Manchester City will not care whether Crystal Palace has two rounds less. With a complete victory in the make-up games, Manchester City will still lead them by one point, and Manchester City will be able to secure the top spot in the Premier League.

Therefore, Manchester City fans hope that Arsenal can beat Crystal Palace.

It's not helping them Manchester City, it's helping Arsenal themselves.

Therefore, Arsenal must win this game.

Yes, Manchester City fans seem to be more anxious and value this game than Arsenal people.

"Friends from the audience, friends from the fans, hello everyone! This is bbc sports, and I am Mortensen, who you are familiar with. Today we will bring you a highlight of the 2017th round of the Premier League in the 2018-20 season. The two sides are Crystal Palace and Arsenal, London Derby!" Mortensen sat in the commentary booth of Tongyi Stadium and broadcast the game live.

"Hello everyone! I'm the Shearer you are familiar with. Today I am one of the football commentators for this game!" Shearer introduced himself very simply.

"What number! I am also familiar to you-Henry! Today I am also the football commentator of this game!" Yes, Henry also came to the commentary booth today to explain this game.

Mortensen immediately asked: "Thierry, what do you think of this game? Who do you like?"

Hiller also looked directly at Henry, as if waiting for Henry's answer.

Henry smiled slightly and said: "For this game, I am actually more optimistic about Crystal Palace! The current strength of Crystal Palace is indeed very strong, the state is very good, and the clothes are overwhelming. The Manchester United team did not stop Crystal Palace. I think the current Arsenal is also pretty good!"

It was beyond everyone's expectations, especially the expectations of the Arsenal fans in front of the TV.

Henry, you are from Arsenal, why do you make others want to destroy your prestige?

Isn't that right?

Shearer and Mortensen looked at each other, seeing the horror and disbelief in each other's eyes.This is completely different from what they guessed. Why is this happening?This guy Henry really doesn't play his cards according to common sense!

Henry did not let the situation cool down, and said directly: "The reason why I am optimistic about the Crystal Palace is mainly because we have indeed had internal problems at Arsenal recently. And the problem is still relatively serious, and the Crystal Palace is now doing well. I think there should be no big problem for them to win. Moreover, in my opinion, if Arsenal does not solve their internal problems as soon as possible, it will be difficult for Arsenal to achieve a satisfactory result this season. Mr. Wenger, you want Cut the mess with a sharp knife!"

Hearing this, the Arsenal fans were silent, and they did not blame Henry.

In fact, he also felt that what Henry said made a lot of sense.

Now Arsenal's internal problems are indeed full of problems. If they are not resolved as soon as possible, Arsenal will fall apart. How can they face the second half of the game?At present, there is a problem with Wilshere's contract renewal. Sanchez and others are arguing to leave, and even Aubameyang and Lacazette, who have just returned, are reluctant to retreat...

If these problems are not resolved as soon as possible, Arsenal will explode this season!

Mortensen and Hiller looked at each other and nodded, expressing their agreement with Henry's words.

Henry said such a thing today, it really tastes like killing relatives righteously.

Shearer immediately said: "It's still Thierry who has a bright eye, and he can see Arsenal's biggest problem at a glance. This problem is also very fatal in the game, so this game, Arsenal is actually very hanging. Those People who were expecting Arsenal to win should be disappointed today."

Obviously, Shearer is also optimistic about Crystal Palace, there is no suspense about this.

After all, Shearer is a loyal receiver, and Crystal Palace's performance is so good recently, he really can't think of a reason for Crystal Palace to lose.

In this game, Crystal Palace will win!

Mortensen looked at the two and asked directly, "Could it be that Arsenal really have no chance in this game?"

That's what the sensible fans in front of the TV want to ask.

Hiller and Henry looked at each other, and then Hiller motioned for Henry to speak.

After all, Henry is a guest, so Henry should talk more.Henry didn't back down, and said directly: "Of course there is a chance. If we, Arsenal, have solved the internal problems before this game. We even temporarily hold down the internal problems and deal with this game together. , we still have a chance at Arsenal!"

Hearing this, the Arsenal fans in front of the TV nodded desperately as if grasping at straws, feeling that Henry was right.Our Arsenal still have a chance in this game, and we are not at the mercy of others.

Shearer looked at Henry and asked directly: "Then do you think Arsenal have temporarily solved the internal problems of the team at this time?"

Mortensen also looked up directly at Henry.

Henry frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "That's unknown. We have to find out from the game. Let's see how Arsenal played at the beginning of this game? If they played well, then It’s solved. Anyway, I actually hope that Arsenal can win.”

Clap, clap, the Arsenal fans in front of the TV gave Henry applause.

Shearer nodded and said, "Yes, we will not know until we watch the game. We know that Arsenal are capable, and now we will see if they can show their strength in this game."

At this time, the players of both sides followed the referee Michael Oliver into the stadium and came to the stadium.

"Okay, at this time, players from both sides have already entered the stadium, and the game is about to start. At this time, we will use the time of the pre-match ceremony between the two sides to introduce the starting rosters of the two teams today. "Mortensen immediately sorted out the materials in his hand and began to speak.

Today's starters are as follows:

Home team: Crystal Palace, head coach: Tong Yi, formation: 4-2-1-3

Goalkeeper: Maignan

Back four [from left to right]: Cancelo, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Carvajal

Double midfielders: Casemiro and Kanter

Single midfielder: De Bruyne

Three strikers [from left to right]: Salah, Ronaldo and Mbappe

Away team: Arsenal, manager: Arsene Wenger, formation: 3-4-1-2

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Back three [from left to right]: Koscielny, Mustafi and Chambers

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Kolasinac, Wilshere, Xhaka, Bellerin

Single front waist: goldfish eye

Double striker: Aubameyang and Lacazette

Seeing the starting rosters of the two teams, Mortensen suddenly asked: "After seeing the starting rosters of the two teams, what do you think? Is it different from what you imagined?"

Shearer shook his head directly and said: "No, this is the absolute main lineup of Crystal Palace. The formation of such a lineup by Crystal Palace shows that they attach great importance to this game. Obviously, David and the players of Crystal Palace will be here. Give it your all in a game.”

Indeed, seeing the main home court of Crystal Palace, everyone can realize that Crystal Palace and Tong Yi attach great importance to this game.It seems that Arsenal is going to face a fierce battle in this game, and Arsenal may not win yet.

Henry also nodded immediately and said: "It is indeed the case. Crystal Palace's formation of such a lineup speaks for itself. They will definitely do their best in this game. It is indeed more difficult for Arsenal to win. As for Arsenal The starting lineup was a bit beyond my expectations."

It was indeed a bit beyond Henry's expectations.

Of course, what was unexpected was not that Wenger adopted a three-central defender. This is not the first time Wenger has used a three-central defender formation tactic.In the past two years, there seems to be a three-back boom all over the world. Now many teams in the Premier League are using the three-back system. Naturally, Wenger is not far behind.

This season they have frequently used a three-back system, and this game is no exception.

However, the results at Arsenal are not very good, and it is very likely that it has something to do with this three-central defender system.

To Henry's expectation, Arsenal did not start Sanchez in this game, and put Sanchez directly on the bench.Although it is said that Sanchez has conflicts with Arsenal and Wenger, but in such a critical game, why did Sanchez not play?

And even if there was a conflict between Sanchez and Wenger, the previous games did not affect Sanchez's playing time.what is it today?Sanchez was not allowed to play in such a crucial game?

Of course, Henry also feels that Arsenal's current striker is still very good. Even without Sanchez, Arsenal should be able to fight in this game.The premise is that these guys are united as one and try their best to fight for Crystal Palace.

Henry said: "Sanchez may leave Arsenal when the winter transfer door opens. Otherwise, Wenger will not let Sanchez start in such an important game."

It is well known that Sanchez wants to leave Arsenal.

During the transfer this past summer, Sanchez wanted to leave. At that time, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester City all wanted to enter Sanchez.Even in the end, Manchester City agreed to Arsenal's transfer fee of 7000 million pounds.

I didn't know that Wenger didn't finalize the Frenchman Lemar, so he finally regretted it and rejected Manchester City's offer.

This completely angered Sanchez, so in this season Sanchez will be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day.

The reason why Sanchez dared to do this is because after the end of this season, his contract with Arsenal will expire and he can transfer freely.

At this time, Arsenal is frantically promoting Sanchez, preparing to transfer Sanchez away this winter.

In this game, Sanchez did not start. In Henry's view, it means that Sanchez's transfer has basically been settled.

Hearing what Henry said, Shearer and Mortensen both understood, no wonder Sanchez won't start.

And at this moment, the main drafter of the game immediately blew the whistle to start the game.

First to kick off is the visiting team Arsenal, who attack from the right to the left of the screen in their red and white jerseys, while Crystal Palace, in their traditional red and blue striped shirts, attack from the left to the right of the screen.

Immediately, all the fans on the scene cheered excitedly, cheering for the players of both sides.
