6:53pm, 12 May 2025【Football】

The five major European leagues in the 2024/25 season have entered the final stage. The Premier League championship and relegation suspense have been revealed. The biggest suspense left now is the top five in the league. At 22:00 p.m. on May 10, in a 36th round of the Premier League, Blue Moon Manchester City will challenge Southampton, a newly relegated team, away. Manchester City's remaining goal this season is to win a place in the Champions League next season. Due to copyright reasons, CCTV's CCTV5 Sports Channel will not be broadcast live.

Manchester City plays against Southampton away, Guardiola has a luxurious lineup of 1.3 billion euros, and has stars such as Haaland, De Bruyne, Forden, Gundogan, Doku, Rodri, Savigna, Gwadior, Marmush, Akk, Akk and other stars. Southampton's value is hugely different from Manchester City, and the sum of the value of the two teams is equivalent to RMB 11.9 billion.

Manchester City won four consecutive Premier League titles last season, setting an unprecedented magical record. However, this season, with Rodri's serious injury and season reimbursement, De Bruyne's condition declined due to his age. Manchester City's performance began to decline. The Premier League withdrew from the Champions League early, and the League was eliminated early. The Champions League was stopped in the playoffs and did not even enter the quarterfinals. Currently, only the FA Cup championship and the Premier League are qualified for the next season's Champions League.

Manchester City introduced Malmush, Kusanov and other players during the winter break to try to save the failed season. The team returned in time during the sprint stage of the season. They have won five consecutive victories in recent events, including the FA Cup defeating Nottingham Forest and reaching the FA Cup final for three consecutive seasons. They will compete with Crystal Palace for the championship trophy. In the Premier League, Manchester City started to make a strong effort. After a series of wins, the ranking also rose to third place, leaving only 3 points behind second-ranked Arsenal, and had a chance to win the runner-up.

In the first 35 rounds of the league, Manchester City scored 67 goals and conceded 43 goals, making it the second-most-scoring team to Liverpool's goal count. A total of 18 players in the team scored goals, including Haaland scored 30 goals in various competitions, making him the team's number one scorer. However, Manchester City's offensive players have declined significantly this season. Except for Haaland, only one player in the team has scored more than double the goals, which shows how bad the Manchester City forward players are.

In contrast, Southampton successfully upgraded from the Championship last season, but participated in the Premier League as a newly promoted player this season. Southampton's performance was very bad, with only 2 wins, 5 draws and 28 losses, and 11 points, which is a shameful record of the worst record in the Premier League era. In addition, Southampton only scored 25 goals but conceded 82 goals, making it the worst team in the Premier League offensive and worst defense.

In this round, Manchester City only has three wounded people, Rodri, Aker and Stones. Haaland returned from injury and may start. Judging from the historical confrontation records of the two teams, in the last 10 matches, Manchester City won 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with the upper hand. In the first leg of this season, Manchester City won 1 goal at home, and Haaland scored the only goal in the game.

The Premier League is extremely fierce this season. Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa will compete for three places in the Champions League next season. Manchester City has the easiest schedule. All the remaining opponents are small teams. Without strong teams, Manchester City is very likely to end the final schedule with a complete victory. As Arsenal challenged Liverpool away in this round, Arsenal had just been eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals, and the four major seasons were all gone, and the players' morale was greatly hit and they were likely to lose. In this way, Manchester City can tie Arsenal in points after winning this round, thus overtaking Arsenal with a goal difference advantage and rising to second place.
