Micah Richards claims the Champions League will have a huge say in this season's enthralling Premier League title race between Manchester City and Liverpool.
As has been the case in recent weeks, both clubs made no mistake on Saturday with the Reds winning 1-0 at Newcastle and City putting four goals past Leeds. The results saw Pep Guardiola's side maintain their slender one-point advantage at the top of the table ahead of the final four games of the season.
Given the way the two title contenders have been playing, it is very difficult to see either of them dropping points in any of their remaining fixtures. However, ex-City defender Richards is concerned elimination from Europe could "knock the confidence" of the defending champions and negatively impact their domestic performances.
