The 10th round of the Premier League will begin at the weekend. The leader Arsenal is expected to expand the lead gap. The relegation opponents point out the real advantage of the top of the list. Manchester United has encountered its nemesis and has lost three games in a row. CCTV will broadcast one of the games live, fans don’t miss it.

Recently, it can be said that Arsenal is in full swing, continuing its usual strong performance in the first half. With 8 consecutive wins in all competitions and 11 unbeaten games, they are not only the leader of the Premier League, but also one of the teams with three consecutive wins in the Champions League. There is hope of competing for the championship in both arenas.

In this round, Arsenal challenged newly promoted Burnley away from home. With the recent two consecutive victories, Burnley got out of the relegation zone and opened a certain gap. Burnley's poor early performance has a lot to do with the schedule. In the first six rounds of the Premier League, they met the four traditional giants Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City. Judging from the distribution of opponents, it was even more difficult than the start of Manchester United and Arsenal. No surprise, these four games were lost, and against the remaining five opponents, they achieved a total of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. They were able to win the games that should be won. It can be said that this is the biggest driving force for Burnley's relegation.

Therefore, according to this idea, it is not difficult for Arsenal to win. Since the second-ranked Bournemouth will challenge Manchester City away, if Arsenal takes all three points, it is very likely to expand its lead. Next week, Arsenal face Slavia Prague of the Czech Republic in the Champions League and Sunderland in the Premier League. This is the best opportunity to consolidate their advantage. Because, after the national team match day, Arsenal will face Tottenham, Bayern Munich and Chelsea consecutively.

In this regard, Burnley head coach Parker said that Arsenal is a top giant, and some people say that they rely entirely on set pieces, which is wrong. What we saw was a top-notch team that was well-coached and had a smooth process, like a well-oiled machine. More importantly, their defense was quite solid and was a solid foundation for success. In fact, it is a pity for Burnley. When facing Manchester United and Liverpool, they both lost due to carelessness in penalty kicks around the 95th minute. Excellent defense is really important.

When it comes to Parker, I believe that fans will be familiar with it. In the early days, he was the substitute for Makelele and Lampard. After leaving Chelsea, he served as the captain of Newcastle and West Ham. He once beat Bale, Rooney and others and was elected as the Premier League Player of the Year. Later, during his time at Tottenham, he may be more well-known.

Parker saw through that Arsenal's real advantage was not the so-called corner kick experts, but the top defense in Europe. They did not concede a single goal in the Champions League and only conceded 3 goals in the Premier League. As long as they did not concede a goal, they could win all games.

Starting at the same time as Arsenal, Manchester United will challenge Nottingham Forest away from home at 11 o'clock on Saturday night. It is scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV5 channel. It is also the only live Premier League game on CCTV this week. Manchester United is also in good form recently. Amorim achieved three consecutive league wins for the first time since taking office, including defeating top clubs like Liverpool.

Amorim said at the pre-match press conference that Lima has already participated in training and will not appear in the game's squad for the time being. He still needs to wait for his comeback. Nottingham Forest is completely different from Brighton and will not leave so much space. The whole team must step up their fighting. As for what Dyche said in May, if he were the coach of Manchester United, he could win more games with the 4-4-2 formation. Amorim laughed it off and thought that maybe it was true. Now Manchester United has a new way of playing and it will take time to get used to it.

Amorim also emphasized that as a commentator, it is understandable that Daichi needs to express some distinct and controversial views, and he does not want to hear those things. Now, as a head coach, Dyche must be completely different. The two things are completely different.

Nottingham Forest has changed coaches twice. After Nuno left, Postkoglu led the team without a win in 8 games and could only leave the team hastily. Dyche, whom Amorim refers to, took office 10 days ago and became the new head coach. Dyche's debut was a victory in the Europa League, and then he returned to the Premier League and lost to dark horse Bournemouth by two goals. This is his third game and he will face Manchester United. In other words, except for Nuno's victory over Brentford in the first round of the Premier League, Nottingham Forest, under the leadership of three different coaches, has only achieved 2 draws and 6 losses in the past 8 league games.

Manchester United hopes that Dyche's first league victory will not happen to them. However, in the past three league meetings between the two sides, Nottingham Forest has won all of them, two of which occurred during the coaching period of Amorim, which seems to be a bit of a nemesis.

Of course, records are meant to be broken. Manchester United has lost to Brighton at home for three consecutive years. The last round of the Premier League was the fourth time. The same story has not happened again. It only happened three times. Manchester United faced Forest for three consecutive losses. It is not so terrible. There will always be an end.

Earlier, Amorim, Arteta and Emery, who had won 3 consecutive victories, and Iola, who had 2 wins and 1 draw with Bournemouth, were selected as candidates for the Premier League's Best Coach of the Month in October. The teams of the four of them happened to be among the top four in the Premier League in terms of points in a single month in October. Manchester United ranked first with a goal difference advantage, so Amorim has a high chance of being elected.

However, the best coaches in the previous two months were Slott and Glasner respectively. After winning the award, Liverpool and Crystal Palace quickly fell into a multi-game winless streak. Should Amorin want this best, or should it be left to Arteta?
