Jamie Carragher believes the next week could be decisive in the Premier League title race with challengers Manchester City and Liverpool both set to play away from home in the league after the first leg of their Champions League semi-finals.
The Merseyside club face Villarreal on Wednesday, a day after the Blues play Real Madrid. They're both at home for the first leg of their respective ties but Jurgen Klopp has voiced concern over travelling to Tyneside for a 12:30pm kick-off days after the clash with Villarreal.
Carragher believes the games City and Liverpool will play in between the two legs of their Champions League semi-final ties could be huge. He told Sky Sports: "I think for both teams, the game in between that Champions League semi-final (will be crucial), that Champions League semi-final will take so much out of you, physically and mentally.
