YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Red Bull boss Christian Horner says Nico Rosberg faces more pressure at this weekends Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as he tries to seal his first drivers title ahead of Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.Rosberg heads into the season finale as the favourite, with a podium finish enough to secure the title on Sunday, while Hamiltons best chance of title success is to win the race and hope Rosberg finishes fourth or lower. Rosberg has only failed to reach the podium at four of the 19 races he has finished this season, but if Red Bull prove to be competitive in Abu Dhabi he could find himself in a battle with Horners drivers for crucial points.Its going to be fascinating to see whats going to happen this weekend because obviously Lewis job is pretty straightforward -- hes just got to go for it and win the race -- so all the tension is probably going to be on Nico, Horner said. Its Nicos to lose really and we can probably be Lewis best friend this weekend if we manage to get both of our cars between him and Nico.Asked if he thought Rosberg had the nerves to deal with the extra pressure this weekend, Horner added: I dont know, this is the championship point effectively, so it will be interesting to see how he deals with that. Hes driven well under pressure so far this year, hes driven a very strong season and things have gone his way, which is sometimes the way things work out. For sure this will probably be the biggest race of his career this weekend to close the job off.Hes driving with a championship in mind. Hes a bright guy and hes driving the percentage game at the moment, banking the points. He cant afford to get tangled up with another battle, so hes probably going to be watching his mirrors more than most going into Turn 1. As weve seen with our guys, theyre not in that [high-pressure] position, so theyll simply be going for it. You can imagine him [Rosberg] being a bit more tentative than he has been at other races.Horner compared Hamiltons situation to Sebastian Vettels in 2010 when he entered the final round at Abu Dhabi with a 15-point deficit to Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso. A botched Ferrari strategy in the race saw Vettel overcome the odds and win the title with a dominant performance, and Horner believes Hamilton should approach this weekend in the same frame of mind.I think psychologically it is easier for Lewis because its an FA Cup final for him, hes just got to go for it. All he can do is win the race and then the other results have to take care of themselves. That was very much the scenario with Sebastian in 2010, there were four drivers that year -- Lewis, Fernando, Mark [Webber] and Seb -- that all stood a chance of winning. Sebastian just paid no attention to what was going on around him, just got on with the job and drove a great race.The others tightened up a little bit, focusing ... particularly Fernando covering what Mark was doing and forgetting what Seb was doing. And he went into that race similar to Nico just needing to finish in the top three to be world champion and events unfolded and Sebastian prevailed at the end of the day.It just goes to show you cant take anything for granted. At the end of the year the engines, the gearboxes are all getting up there in mileage. Nobody has been infallible to reliability issues, so youd hope it wasnt a factor like that that dictated the championship, but Lewis definitely still has a pretty decent chance going into this final race.Austin Davis Jersey . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration.

The Arsenal winger picked himself up to take the resulting penalty but his spot-kick was met with an excellent diving save by goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.The let-off lasted only 68 seconds, though, as Arsenal returned to the attack.After a crunching interception by Francis Coquelin on Lallana, Alex Iwobi fed the ball wide to Walcott, who had been left completely unmarked by Moreno and was free to fire an angled shot past Mignolet into the far corner.dddddddddddd.Liverpools first clear chance came five minutes before the break, when Roberto Firmino cut the ball back from the left for Georginio Wijnaldum to drill a shot straight at Petr Cech after Chambers had given away possession with a sloppy pass.Chambers was half of a new central defensive pairing with 20-year-old Rob Holding, as Gabriel Paulista and Per Mertesacker were injured and Frances Laurent Koscielny was rested.While Wijnaldum could have done better with his chance, Coutinhos free kick combined power and precision as it flew into the top left-hand corner, giving Cech no chance.And there was little the Arsenal `keeper could do as Liverpool stunned the hosts in the opening minutes of the second half.Lallana put Liverpool ahead with a stylish finish, collecting Wijnaldums cross on his chest before rifling a shot between Cechs legs.Coutinho drilled home his second goal of the day from point-blank range after Liverpool finished a lesson in passing football with Nathaniel Clyne sending a powerful low ball across the face of the Arsenal goal.It was very soon 4-1 to Klopps transformed side after a superb run by Mane, who broke down the right flank and raced past two Arsenal defenders before firing a rasping left-foot shot into the far corner.Oxlade-Chamberlain went one better just two minutes later, beating three Liverpool players before rifling the ball through a crowded area and past Mignolet.And the goal bonanza continued as Chambers beat Mignolet with a glancing header from substitute Santi Cazorlas floated free kick.But it wasnt enough for his team, or the home fans.
