On May 24th, at 2:00 noon local time in the UK, the last round of the 2014/15 Premier League season kicked off.

The biggest highlight of this round of the Premier League is naturally the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United.

So far in the Premier League, there are actually not many real suspense. The top three are almost confirmed, and the third relegation team has also come out. Only the fourth place is still relatively suspenseful.

Liverpool's opponent in this round is Stoke City, the potters, in an away game.

Since Liverpool has secured the top three and is also preparing for the Champions League final, Rodgers does not plan to arrange all the main players to play.

Rodgers arranged for Jackie Chan, Sterling, Coutinho, Henderson and other important players to take turns to prepare for the Champions League final.

Liverpool has participated in a lot of games this season. In addition to the 38 rounds of the Premier League, they have played 6 games in the League Cup, 6 games in the FA Cup, and 13 games in the Champions League (including the final that has not yet been played).

After a season, Liverpool played 63 games frantically, and most of the time they played double matches a week.

So even if the Champions League final will not start until two weeks later, Rodgers still arranges for important players to rest, and Gerrard will lead the team to the Britannia Stadium on the banks of the Trent River.

This is Gerrard's Premier League curtain call, of course he will start.

But the guys at Stoke obviously don't want Gerrard to have a good Premier League finale.

Before the first half was over, Stoke City took a 3-0 lead at home.

The Senegalese Diouf scored twice, Nzonzi scored another goal, and Austrian Ibrahimovic Arnautovic made a double assist.

Speaking of which, Diouf and Arnautovic are both defeated by Jackie Chan in the Bundesliga.

Especially Diouf, when Jackie Lee was still in the Scottish Premier League, he had already led Dundee United to defeat the Senegalese who was still playing for Hannover 96 at the time.

Unexpectedly, now, the two formed the Avengers Alliance and seized the opportunity to torture Li Chenglong's team.

During the intermission, Rogers was outrageous and sprayed all the starters.

On the bus to the Stoke game,

As Rogers said, he hopes that the whole team will work hard and try to end the Premier League season with a victory.

In fact, Rogers is also a little cautious. He thinks that Liverpool can still fight for the runner-up position in the Premier League.

At present, Liverpool and Manchester City have the same points, and Liverpool is nine goals behind Manchester City.

But in the last round, Liverpool's opponent is Stoke City, which is not strong, and Manchester City is going to an away game to challenge Southampton, a dark polo team that has been dark for most of the season.

If Manchester City misses and loses points, and Liverpool succeeds in winning again, Liverpool can overtake the points in the final round and end the season as the runner-up of the Premier League.

Rodgers led the team to win the Premier League runner-up last season. If he achieves the "defending" runner-up this season, it will be a good deal for his coaching resume.

But now that Liverpool is playing like this, let alone expecting to be runner-up, if they can regain some momentum in the second half, it will be good if they don't lose too badly.

At the end of the intermission, Rodgers immediately made a substitution, allowing Jackie Lee and Sterling to play quickly.

Although Rodgers made a rotation, he still brought Lee Jackie and Sterling to Stoke to deal with possible sudden situations.

Now that the sudden situation has really arisen, of course Rogers has to arrange for two people to appear as the savior.

In the 47th minute at the beginning of the second half, Jackie Lee assisted Sterling to score through a through ball and scored a goal for the team.

This ball can be regarded as opening up the two veins of Ren and Du of the team, and the goals came in a steady stream.

In the 57th minute, Gerrard scored a long-range shot and scored a goal in his Premier League curtain call.

In the 60th minute, Sterling assisted Emre Can to score, Liverpool chased three goals in a row to equalize the score.

"Facing Liverpool, you should never try to lead by three goals. This is the truth, which has been verified by AC Milan." Seeing Liverpool's aggressive offensive, the England commentator also began to joke.

However, after being equalized by a wave of attacks by Liverpool for more than ten minutes, Stoke City became conservative and temporarily bit the score.

It wasn't until the 81st minute that Li Chenglong broke into the penalty area and made a point that Liverpool finally got a good chance.

This penalty, Li Chenglong did not take the penalty himself, but gave it to Gerrard in the curtain call.

Now Li Chenglong still has 30 goals in the Premier League, and it is impossible to equal or break the record of 34 goals. Then this penalty is dispensable for Li Chenglong. It is better to let Gerrard take it. Well scored twice.

The Jie team did not live up to their good intentions, and made steady shots to help Liverpool overtake the score.

But in the 88th minute, Crouch, the old Liverpool player, came off the bench and scored a header from a corner kick, which equalized the score for Stoke City.

In this way, Liverpool lost three consecutive goals in the first half of the away game, and finally played a 4:4 draw with Stoke City.

Although it failed to end the Premier League season with a victory, considering the previous score, a draw is acceptable.

The 38 rounds of the Premier League in the 2014/15 season are all over, and the final ranking results of the standings are also out.

In the most watched four-game battle, Arsenal beat West Brom 4:1 at home in the final round, giving Manchester United no chance at all.

As for Manchester United, they didn't play easily against the relegated Hull City in the away game. They just won 1:0 with difficulty.

In the final Premier League standings of this season, Chelsea became the champion with 91 points, Manchester City became the runner-up with 78 points, Liverpool became the third place with 76 points, followed by Arsenal and Manchester United with 73 points, Arsenal dominated by goal difference. Manchester United ranked fourth and qualified for the Champions League next season.

So next season, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, these four teams will represent the Premier League to participate in the Champions League, while Manchester United can only play in the Europa League.

This is already a small improvement. Under the leadership of Moyes last season, Manchester United did not qualify for the Europa League.

Ranked behind Manchester United are Tottenham in sixth and Southampton in seventh.

The Europa League qualification arrangement for the Premier League team is fifth in the league, winner of the FA Cup and winner of the League Cup.

Since Liverpool, the winner of the League Cup, has already qualified for the Champions League, the sixth-placed Tottenham will qualify for the Europa League next season.

Whether the seventh-placed Southampton can play in the Europa League depends on the results of next week's FA Cup final.

If Arsenal wins the championship, then Southampton can qualify for the Europa League. If Villa upset Arsenal to win the championship, then Southampton will not qualify for the Europa League.

As for the relegation side, it was determined in the last round, and the three teams of Burnley, Queens Park Rangers and Hull City were relegated.

In terms of Premier League personal data this season, Jackie Lee won the Golden Boot with 30 goals, followed by Aguero with 26 goals, Harry Kane with 21 goals, and Diego Caine with 20 goals. Costa.

Diego Costa was very vigorous at the beginning of the season and once suppressed Li Chenglong.

But in the second half of the season, he was injured and failed to score consecutively, and finally only ranked fourth.

Aguero, on the other hand, scored consecutive goals in the last few rounds, and unexpectedly rushed from the fourth place in the scorer list to the second place by leaps and bounds, and he was far ahead of Kane and Costa. Unfortunately, there is still the big devil in front of him, Lee Chenglong. .

In the assist list, Fabregas was elected as the Premier League assist leader this season with 18 assists.
