W2W4: Liverpool must avoid crisis, Arsenal need to be ready at Chelsea

W2W4 previews the weekend's Premier League action by highlighting the key storylines.

Another defeat would mean crisis for Liverpool

January was a bad month for Liverpool, who lost three consecutive home games and exited two cup competitions. Indeed, the only side they beat in nine games last month was League Two club Plymouth.

In terms of the Premier League alone, though, talk of crisis has been slightly overblown: Liverpool remain in the top four, a point behind Arsenal and Tottenham, and are still well-placed to qualify for the Champions League. That was this season's primary realistic aim, given their squad is probably too thin to sustain a title challenge.
