The absence of Tarkovski, Maddison and St. Maximin has cut FC United's strength a lot, with Harry Maguire and Tarkovski being the team's regular partners this season, with FC United conceding just 23 goals so far in the Premier League, is the fewest of all teams, a stable backline is indispensable.

FC United's defensive five-man group is also the most stable starting lineup, no matter how the tactical play of the central midfield changes, the back line is still as stable as a mountain, especially in the central defender position, Webster and Pinnock can only play in irrelevant cup games and rotations, and Pinnock was loaned to Championship Brentford by Lu Wei in the winter window in order to play.

Maddison is now the FC United midfield configuration with the strongest offensive ability and the strongest key ball ability, Hayden and Rice are both defensive players, Matuidi is also biased towards defense, McKim and Graemes are more balanced, and the role of key passes is far inferior to Madison.

St. Maximin though there is Daniel. James, an equally strong substitute, but with great dribbling ability, can bring a variety of changes to FC United's attack, Daniel United. James' offensive approach is more monolithic and less mature in the way he handles the ball in the box than Saint Maximin.

St. Maximin will miss around 10 days due to injury, and Madison and Tarkovski have to give their strength to the weekend after being suspended in the Europa League.

With four rounds left in the Premier League, City are already 11 points ahead of FC United in the table, meaning that as long as City can beat Swansea at home, they can win the Premier League three rounds early, and the award ceremony can be held after the game.

FC United have 73 points, just one point ahead of second-placed Manchester United, and fourth- and fifth-placed Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur both have 70 points, and the ownership of the league runners-up may not be revealed until the final round.

And it is very unfavorable for FC United in terms of schedule, FC United's opponents in the last four rounds are Everton, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, each of which is an opponent with European strength, and it is not impossible to even lose four in a row.

Manchester United have only one strong team in the last four rounds, but it is difficult for Arsenal to win at Old Trafford, and Wenger has just announced his departure, which has an impact on the mentality of the players, not to mention Arsenal has to be distracted from the death battle with Atletico.

Tottenham have had the easiest schedule, having lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals not long ago, they are now in full swing, Brighton, Watford, West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City, Tottenham's final opponents are all mid-range teams who have missed the European competition.

In addition to being distracted by the Champions League, Liverpool have only one strong opponent in the league, and that game is still after the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool can temporarily focus on the league.

With the Europa League just one step away from reaching the final final, Lu Wei can't let the players consume too much energy in the league at this time, and the game against Everton, except for Madison and Tarkovsky, all the other players are substitutes.

The goalkeeper is the young Ramsdale, and although nominally the second goalkeeper, Ramsdale has only been able to start in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, making his first league appearance.

Right-back Tete, centre-backs Tarkovski and Webster, left-back Zinchenko, four midfielders from left to right are Sancho, Grimes, Rice and Marcos. Tafnir, the attacking players up front are forward Madison and striker Balbosa.

Although Tavernir Jr. has played for the Red Rebels first team as early as League One, and has so far held the record of the youngest player to play for the Red Rebels, but he has been playing in the FC United youth team for the past two seasons, but the usual training is with the first team, which allows him to accumulate game experience and receive the most professional training, and the youth team is the same as Sobosroy, Mitchell and McNeill. They all train in the first team and play in the youth team.

Everton are only theoretically close to the European zone, and Romelu Lukaku's departure has had a great impact on them, with one draw and four defeats in the first five rounds of the Europa League group stage, the first of 48 teams to be eliminated, and if it were not for the three-goal victory over the group in the final round of the Limassol Suns, Everton would not even have the face to mix in England.

Although welcoming back the return of English legend Wayne Rooney, it also brought Pickford, Michael . Keane, Sigurdsson and other titans, but the fact that their attacking ability has plummeted is undeniable, and Pickford's form has been inconsistent, with 54 goals conceded being the fifth most of any Premier League team.

But even against Everton, who did not have much fighting spirit, or at their own home, FC United, who were almost all substitutes, lost the game, Rooney assisted Tosson in the first half to break the deadlock, and Barnes assisted Gueye from a corner kick in the second half to extend the scoreline, FC United only pulled a goal back by Grimes in the 86th minute.

FC United lost 2-1 to Everton, with Manchester's other two teams winning, with Manchester City beating Swansea 5-0 to lift the Premier League trophy three rounds early. Manchester United's 2"0 win over Bournemouth put them back in second place in the table.

West Bromwich Albion drew 2-2 at home to Liverpool, and Tottenham drew 1-1 away from home to Brighton, failing to catch up with FC United in the standings, but with only a two-point gap, a game can determine the ranking of these teams.

Lu Wei has nothing to regret about losing this game, the team is still in the top four, as long as it can reach the Europa League final, this small sacrifice is completely acceptable.

After the game, Lu Wei could hear the cheers from the Etihad Stadium 4km away, countless Blue Moon fans were celebrating the joy of the team winning the Premier League in four years, and Guardiola finally lifted the Premier League trophy in his second season at Manchester City, which was the beginning of a dream period for the Blue Moon.

But Lu Wei appeared in the Premier League with FC United, will Guardiola's Blue Moon dynasty be so smoothly realized?

Lu Wei himself did not know this, FC United in the Premier League debut season was very successful, no one would have thought that a promotion horse could not only occupy the top three positions in the Premier League for a long time, but also reach the Europa League semi-finals, and even hope to further reach the final final.

But Lu Wei's goal is even more ambitious than this, this season is not over, if I can't win the Premier League then I will win the Europa League, Red Bull Salzburg, no matter how bullish you are, our Red Rebel guns will definitely shoot you all over the hole.
