Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola every game now is a knockout.
City host Watford still leading the table from Liverpool by two points.
Guardiola said, "Definitely. We can't drop points but [Liverpool] can't either. The players know it, we were in this position before. We play a final versus Brighton to be able to play another one. If we win we have chance to play another.
"Try to recover injured players, be fresh in the mind. When we finish tomorrow, another [game] in three days in Champions League. Then Leeds. Be fresh, relax, ready for the moment of the game."
On the Champions League impacting the title race, he added: "I don't know, I don't think about that. I think of the players available, the best squad to beat Watford. To be here in semi-finals and here to fight in the league is a joy, a pleasure. Premier League is just one month, four weeks. We try to do good games in the Champions League, then we have one more week."
