Liverpool’s title race with Manchester City is set to go right to the wire - and this weekend stands out as one that could be very significant.
The Reds host a revitalised Chelsea at Anfield, who have won three games on the bounce, while Pep Guardiola’s side face a potentially tricky trip to Crystal Palace.
Jurgen Klopp will be hoping for any assistance he can get in the title race - but City were boosted by two significant returns ahead of their 1-0 Champions League defeat against Spurs on Tuesday night, with Sergio Aguero and Fabian Delph returning to the fold.
Aguero saw a first-half penalty saved by Hugo Lloris and Delph was also involved in one of the notable moments from the match, after a challenge with Spurs striker Harry Kane saw the England captain limp off the field and he may miss the remainder of the season.

The returns of Aguero and Delph will be significant to City for their title run-in but Guardiola does have some concerns.
Bernardo Silva missed the clash in north London with a reported thigh strain - and his absence in the heart of midfield was noticeable.

Goalkeeper Ederson is also one that needs to be watched, after the Brazil ace was spotted limping when making his way to the City coach after the game and, with Claudio Bravo also missing from the squad as he fights to return from a long-term injury layoff, that could put the pressure on 20-year-old Arijanet Muric.
Meanwhile, Liverpool player ratings vs Porto - Jordan Henderson excellent and Virgil van Dijk has a new trademark in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final.
