Arsenal host PSG in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final clash next week, but Luis Enrique has warned the Gunners they will not be given an easy ride
The Premier League title race could finally be over come Wednesday night if Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace. But the Gunners are already turning their attention to next week's first leg of their Champions League semi-final against PSG.
Mikel Arteta's men will host the runaway Ligue 1 champions at the Emirates Stadium next Tuesday. The two sides met in the league phase of the competition, with Arsenal claiming a comfortable win.
But PSG boss Luis Enrique has now warned Arteta and his side they can expect a tougher proposition next Tuesday. Elsewhere, Ange Postecoglou has been forced to defend his reign once again.
The Tottenham boss saw his side crash to a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Easter Monday. It puts them on track to finish in their lowest league position for 48 years.
But Postecoglou has dismissed the concerns over his reign, even as his future was plunged into fresh doubt. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest football news.
Enrique's Arsenal warning
PSG boss Luis Enrique has insisted he is not worried about Arsenal's threat from set-pieces. Enrique will take his side to the Emirates for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final next week, but has warned the Gunners he has no specific concerns about their threat.
"We will prepare in the same way as we did against Liverpool. They are a team that has at least as much potential as Arsenal, if not more. Aston Villa also had great potential in this area, as did the majority of Ligue 1 teams," he said.
"We will not prepare our team based on this aspect of the game in particular, but it is obvious that we must be competitive everywhere. I think we scored goals and I consider our level to be very good."
Promotion party marred
Burnley's promotion party on Easter Monday was marred by unsavoury scenes following a pitch invasion. The Clarets beat Sheffield United to confirm a top two finish in the Championship.
But Blades midfielder Hamza Choudhury became involved in an altercation with a celebrating Burnley supporter. Choudhury took exception to the words or actions of one of them and had to be dragged away from the incident, with boss Chris Wilder hitting out.
He fumed: “We were told by the ref before that we’d get stewards surrounding us, but I think they went on the missing list. Completely on the missing list. It was quite scary out there in the end, when people are coming and doing bits and pieces at you."
Postecoglou issues blunt Spurs message
Ange Postecoglou has bluntly insisted he owes no message to unhappy Tottenham fans. Postecoglou saw his side slip to a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Monday night, dropping them to 16th, which would be their worst finish for 48 years.
"I don’t need to say anything to the fans. The fans are disappointed and angry as we are as well. It’s too many losses I know that. I don’t need to tell the fans anything. The fans clearly wouldn’t be happy with our results but neither am I or the players," Postecoglou said.
"From our perspective, it’s something we need to accept responsibility that we have fallen short of the standards we need to have. The flip side of that is that the frustrating bit is it’s not because of the way we are playing because our football today was very similar to the Frankfurt game at home which was another game we should have won."
