Five things we learned in the Premier League this weekend



The English Premier League is winding up slowly but surely and the dogfights are on among different teams. Some are fighting to cement their Champions League qualification positions, others are eyeing Europa League. And of course, there are those fighting not to go down.
All these generate excitement. And of course we learned at least five things this weekend from that:

Jurgen Klopp has failed to cure the Liverpool conundrum — they go walkabout when playing the teams from the lower reaches. Looking in control of Crystal Palace they allowed their lead to slip and woeful defending at a corner for the second saw old boy Christian Benteke head home to record a double. Liverpool’s hopes of a Champions League place in all likelihood took a fatal hit with the Palace defeat but similar losses throughout the season like against Bournemouth have also done untold damage. Until Klopp solves the problem Liverpool will not be realistic title challengers.
