Everton have to beat Burnley tonight for a chance, but he then needs Wolves and Leicester to sneak in, though the Wolves are facing a Fulham team that has won three on the rebound, keeping three draws. confirming the title. Could be very interesting.

Neil Warnock of Cardiff discussed the £ 20,000 fine of the FA for his comments after the defeat against Chelsea. It's not a happy rabbit …

More from Klopp, who says Liverpool have dusted themselves off and are ready for Newcastle …

"The boys are completely on fire. When you're racing, you do not get tired. We are ambitious like hell. All we can do is beat Newcastle and it's incredibly difficult. What other teams are doing Monday night is not our problem. "

Jürgen Klopp confirmed that midfielder Naby Keïta would be out at least two months after his injury to the match against Barcelona. This means that the Guinean international will miss the Africa Cup of Nations, which will start in Egypt on June 21st.

What's going on with David de Gea? Well, he will have a chance to prove that the old form of cliché is temporary and that the clbad is permanent when he retains his place for Manchester United against Huddersfield on Sunday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær spoke this morning and confirmed an injury to Reservist Sergio Romero, which means that the Spanish number 1 continues.

"Sergio was injured yesterday, so he did not train, he did a knee injury, so David trained well this week," said Solskjær.

Speaking of Barcelona, ​​apparently, a certain guy, Lionel, scored his 600th goal on Wednesday. Whatever it is, according to President Josep Maria Bartomeu, he could have a future in the game if he continues in this way …

So it's a good time for Liverpool after Wednesday's disappointing result against Barcelona, ​​but they do not have time to feel sorry for themselves, it's a win or a loss to Newcastle tomorrow night at St James's Park. Can Jürgen Klopp's team put any further pressure on Manchester City or will their efforts at Camp Nou win?

Here are nine other things to watch this weekend:

How is everybody? This is the first week of May, so we are well into business with the penultimate round of Premier League matches starting tonight before the last matches of the Football League.

There is still a lot to do, so let's take a look at what can potentially be settled over the weekend …

first league
A tense title race could be settled this weekend, but only if Liverpool suffered a shock defeat at Newcastle on Saturday. Manchester City would then have the chance to seal the deal by beating Leicester on Monday. Cardiff needs a win against Crystal Palace on Saturday to have any chance of avoiding relegation. They would be relegated regardless of their outcome if Brighton beat Arsenal.

Championship
With Norwich and Sheffield United promoted and Ipswich, Bolton and Rotherham relegated, only play-offs remain to be settled. Leeds, West Brom and Aston Villa are confirmed in the top six, with Leeds needing a point to secure third place in front of the Baggies while Villa will definitely finish fifth. Derby is in pole position for the final and starts his match against West Brom ahead of Middlesbrough by one point. Boro will face Rotherham on Sunday, while Bristol City still has a chance on the outside but will have to win at Hull and get results elsewhere to succeed.

League One
The defeats of Portsmouth and Sunderland Tuesday were promoted by Luton and Barnsley. They will fight for the title on Saturday, with the Tykes at Bristol Rovers while Luton host Oxford. Charlton is safe in the play-offs while Doncaster is sixth. If Rovers loses points against Coventry, Peterborough can take advantage by beating Burton. Bradford is down, but Scunthorpe, Walsall, Plymouth and Southend are only separated by one point – Argyle and Iron meet in a key match. The AFC Wimbledon is still not mathematically sure if three of these four teams win it.

League two
With Lincoln and Bury promoted, attention is focused on the win-win-all-match between MK Dons and Mansfield. The winners will be promoted, while the draw will benefit Mansfield because of their superior goal difference. The unsuccessful team will join Forest Green and Tranmere in the play-offs, with Newport in last place after Tuesday's victory over Oldham. They have yet to win at Morecambe not to open the door to Exeter, a point behind their clash with Forest Green. Colchester, Carlisle and Stevenage retain an outside chance if both fail. Yeovil is relegated and Notts County will join them unless they have defeated Swindon and Macclesfield to bow to Cambridge – a draw for Sol Campbell's men would leave County a win of at least eight goals.
