No room for mistakes in penultimate Premier League weekend

There are two games left and everything still to play for in the Premier League as the race to win the title and to qualify for next season's Champions League enters its penultimate weekend.

It's a moment where any mistake could be fatal and nobody will know that better than Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, who has had to pick his players up and dust them down after their 3-0 Champions League defeat away to FC Barcelona on Wednesday night.

Liverpool played well in the Camp Nou, but a combination of Leo Messi and (especially) some poor finishing have left Liverpool with a mountain to climb in Tuesday's return leg.

Before that however, they have to win away to Newcastle United (preferably by several goals) on Saturday evening to keep the pressure on Manchester City in the race for the title.

Liverpool are a point behind City and with a slightly worse goal difference and need a win to go back to the top and transfer the pressure to their title rivals.

Klopp has to decide whether he can afford to rest players for Tuesday, or even if the players who gave everything on Wednesday have recovered enough to start on Saturday. Meanwhile the injury to Naby Keita will limit his options in central midfield.

Newcastle have nothing to play for and former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will make no concessions in what promises to be 90 minutes of tension.

Manchester City don't play until Monday night when they entertain Leicester City, who still have a chance of finishing seventh in the table.

A victory for Pep Guardiola's side would make it 13 consecutive league wins and leave them one win away from the title, but they will do well to remember that Leicester beat them 2-1 earlier in the season and that any errors against a talented Leicester attack led by Jamie Vardy could be costly.

Third place Tottenham also have to focus on their domestic obligations ahead of their Champions League return leg against Ajax when they visit Bournemouth. Spurs have a four-point cushion over fifth place Arsenal, but won't want to see everything hang on the last game of the season.

Manchester United should put crisis talk behind them for 90 minutes at least when they visit bottom of the table Huddersfield and a win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men would pressure Chelsea and Arsenal; both of whom were in Europa League semi-final action on Thursday.

Chelsea face a tough home game against Watford, while Arsenal, who beat Valencia on Thursday, play at home to fourth from bottom Brighton in a game that also affects who will join Huddersfield and Fulham in going down.

If Cardiff fail to win at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday, they will be relegated and Brighton will be safe before kick off at the Arsenal Stadium. However, a win for Cardiff would leave Brighton needing a point to stay up and Sunday would be the best time to get it, as they end the season at home to Manchester City, who have needs of their own.
