On the weekend, the 12th round of the Premier League will begin. 10 games are scheduled to be played in three days. There are 3 games on Sunday and Monday. Arsenal faces a strong dialogue and continuously challenges the three giants. Manchester United is just the opposite. There are no wealthy teams in the next 10 opponents. How many points can they get?
On Sunday night, Aston Villa challenged Leeds United away. Leeds United is the newly promoted team this season. It currently has only 11 points and is ranked 16th. It is only 1 point more than West Ham in the relegation zone. The pressure to relegation is still very high. In 11 league games, Leeds United defeated Everton in the first round, and then defeated Wolves and West Ham. Two of the teams are in the relegation zone. They faced stronger teams and both drew or lost. They are one of the favorites for relegation this season.

Two months ago, Aston Villa had 3 draws and 2 losses in the first five games, ranking third from the bottom and in the relegation zone. Unexpectedly, he won 5 games in the next 6 games, including defeating the two giants Manchester City and Tottenham. The ranking suddenly jumped to sixth place, just in front of Manchester United and Liverpool. The pressure on Emery to dismiss get out of class was suddenly reduced.
In the past 10 games in all competitions, Aston Villa has achieved 8 wins and 2 losses, making it one of the best teams in the Premier League in recent times. In the next few games, Villa will face Leeds United, Wolves and Brighton in the Premier League, and the Swiss Young Boys in the Europa League. They are not strong, but they hope to continue their winning streak. However, before the New Year, Villa will face Arsenal twice, as well as Manchester United and Chelsea. Therefore, Villa must seize the favorable schedule of recent weak opponents and strive for more points.
The strong dialogue between Arsenal and Tottenham is scheduled late on Sunday night (early morning on Monday), which is a bit disadvantageous for the two giants who will participate in the Champions League in a few days. In the past three seasons, Arsenal faced Tottenham 6 times and achieved 5 wins and 1 draw. Arsenal has a certain psychological advantage over their neighbors in the same city. Judging from the current situation, although Sunderland broke Arsenal's 8-game clean sheet and 10-game winning streak, without the fetters of records, Arsenal can put down their burdens and travel lightly.

During the national team match day, Arsenal received bad news. The main defender Gabriel was injured and is expected to be absent for a period of time. Earlier, Arteta had hinted that the three attacking players Yockers, Martinez and Madueke are expected to return in Tottenham's North London derby, which I believe is a good signal. Saka and Eze scored together in England. It was the fifth time in the history of England that two Arsenal players scored in the same game. This is obviously good news.
The next three opponents are very important to Arsenal. The Premier League faces two London rivals, Tottenham and Chelsea, as well as Bayern Munich, which has been winless for 10 years, in a battle for the top spot in the Champions League. At present, Arsenal is the top favorite to win the Champions League and Premier League. Whether Arteta's team is ready to compete for the championship will be revealed after the test of the three giants.
Looking back at Manchester United, they have already challenged the five giants in the Premier League in the first 11 rounds and achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, which is an acceptable result. Next, Manchester United will be much more relaxed. In the next 10 opponents, there will not be a wealthy team. Due to missing out on the three major European Cups and being eliminated from the League Cup, most of Manchester United's next few games are scheduled at 4 a.m. For example, this round of the league is scheduled for 4 a.m. on Tuesday and will host Everton at home. Domestic fans will really have to work hard.

Until early January next year, just before the top 64 of the FA Cup, Manchester United's 10 opponents include Wolves (twice) and West Ham in the relegation zone, Burnley and Leeds United in the relegation zone, Newcastle and Everton in the bottom half, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth as dark horses, and only one team, Aston Villa, currently shares the same points with Manchester United.
Some people say that Manchester United is not afraid of strong teams, but only weak ones. In fact, this is not the case. In the past 11 league games, 5 giant teams scored 7 points and 6 non-rich teams scored 11 points. The difference between strength and weakness is not too obvious. On the contrary, 12 points in 5 home games is almost the same as first-place Manchester City with 15 points in 6 games. Only 6 points in 6 away games is really big compared to 13 points in 5 games with Tottenham. The difficult problem of away games should be something that Manchester United needs to solve as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to improve their ranking and stabilize in the Champions League.

Another problem is that Sheshko is injured and is expected to miss a month. Exactly one month later, the African Cup of Nations will start again. Mbemo, Diallo and Mazrawi are absent. They are the most influential teams in the Premier League. The German transfer market has counted players absent from the Africa Cup of Nations. In terms of value, the Manchester duo tops the list, with Sunderland missing a full seven players. The London duo Arsenal and Chelsea have zero players, with none. It seems that although Manchester United will have no strong opponents in the next 10 games, the difficulties will not be less at all.
