2nd-placed Arsenal may choose to focus on Champs League after progressing to semis

Chance For Reds To Wrap Up EPL Title

LONDON - Liverpool could seal the English Premier League on April 20 should the runaway leaders condemn Leicester City to relegation and Arsenal suffer a Champions League hangover by losing at Ipswich Town.

Victory for the Gunners at Portman Road could also see Ipswich mathematically relegated should West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers win.

Unlike the battles for the league title and to avoid the drop, which are more or less decided, the race for a place in next season's Champions League is set to go down to the wire.

Just five points separate Newcastle United in third from seventh-placed Aston Villa ahead of their clash at Villa Park.

Here is a look at the major talking points ahead of this weekend's action.

LIVERPOOL'S SUPER SUNDAY?

Thirteen points clear at the top of the table with six games to go, it is only a question of when Liverpool will move level with Manchester United on a record 20 English top-flight titles.
