Manchester Evening News column: Can they clinch the title early? After 31 rounds, Manchester United led Liverpool by 6 points and had lost only 1 of 46 matches this season.
2019–2020 Premier League table (after Round 31):
1. Manchester United, 84 points.
2. Liverpool, 78 points.
3. Manchester City, 67 points.
4. Chelsea, 57 points.
5. Tottenham Hotspur, 52 points.
They immediately kicked off the restart with three straight wins. Those three consecutive victories not only sent Manchester United into the FA Cup semifinals, but also helped them temporarily widen the gap over Liverpool.
As league leaders, Manchester United had now stretched their advantage over Liverpool to six points!
They were practically unbeatable!
Repost of Tang Ye's interview: We still need to stay humble, because we have a lot of matches to play in July.
King Tang, so low-key!
Chinese people are just too modest. I feel like the reporters below the stage were dumbfounded after hearing Tang Ye, but GGBond has always seemed pretty cautious in interviews.
Erik ten Hag: No need to say any more. Tang was brought up by me personally.
I think we can pop the champagne already. How are Liverpool supposed to make up a six-point gap?
Don't celebrate! Calm down, brothers. There are a lot of matches in July. If we collapse, it'll all be over. You have to be pessimistic when watching football.
Tang Ye was still too low-key.
But that was only in front of the cameras.
"Haha!"
Bang!
Tang Ye and Ousmane Dembélé burst through the locker room door. "Semifinals, brothers!"
He held up two fingers.
