It is officially crunch time for Liverpool.
Saturday’s FA Cup final offers the Reds a chance at their second domestic title this year while the Premier League and UEFA Champions League also hang in the balance over the next couple of weeks.
The matchup is a rematch of the thrilling EFL Cup final that Liverpool edged Chelsea in back in February. The sides could not be separated in regulation or extra time, and the Reds were perfect from the spot in a nervy 11-10 shootout.
Apart from taking care of its own business Saturday, Liverpool will be rooting for West Ham United to pull off an upset, or at least take points from Manchester City. Last weekend’s 1-1 tie with Tottenham was costly, and Liverpool will need some help from an upcoming Manchester City opponent at this stage.
In Italy, Milan is close to wrapping up the Scudetto but has rival Inter Milan on its heels. The Rossoneri take on Atalanta, an ever-credible threat, on Sunday and has no room for error with Inter in a more favorable matchup with drop zone dweller Cagliari.

- West Ham United vs Manchester City – The Cityzens are close to wrapping up the Premier League title but should still consider this a must-win.
- Atlético Madrid vs Sevilla – A win for either will clinch their UCL bid for next season and leave the door open for a little uncertainty for the loser.
