On this episode of The Counter Press Pod, Jared and Sam look ahead to a packed Premier League weekend with one eye firmly on the looming Champions League second legs. The guys break down the key fixtures — including Arsenal vs. Everton, Chelsea vs. Newcastle, and Liverpool vs. Tottenham — and discuss which clubs may rotate or manage minutes with Europe just days away.

They also dig into the chaos at the bottom of the table, where several sides are locked in a tense relegation scrap and every point could prove decisive down the stretch. From tactical matchups to pressure-packed storylines, Jared and Sam set the stage for a weekend that could shape both the title race and the survival fight before attention shifts back to the Champions League midweek.
