With the Reds’ European involvement over for the season, we now know their April schedule.

Up first on Wednesday, April 2 (8pm BST) is Everton at Anfield, as Liverpool look to silence their rivals after that derby in February!

On Sunday, April 6 (2pm), it’s Fulham away for Arne Slot‘s side, before West Ham head to Merseyside on Sunday, April 13 (2pm).

Liverpool visit Leicester on Sunday, April 20 (4.30pm) and then it’s Tottenham at home on Sunday, April 27 (4.30pm).

So that’s no Saturday games in April, in a month that could see the Reds crowned Premier League champions.

  • The Mail report Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the Carabao Cup final, but “no serious damage has been suffered and it is hoped he can still play again this season”
  • Speaking of Van Dijk, there’s a real reason why he spoke to PSG officials in the Anfield tunnel last night. Find out here!

Henry Jackson and Abigail Rudkin have assessed last night’s action, with Diogo Jota and Liverpool’s substitutes struggling to impress:

“I was so disappointed with Jota, who seems to have fallen off a cliff of late.

“Whether it’s confidence, a lack of match fitness or injuries catching up with him, he doesn’t look like the player he was.

“Jones and Nunez were really poor off the bench – their penalties were pretty insipid, too! – with neither doing anywhere near enough.

“While Liverpool played pretty well as a team overall, they did almost nothing in extra-time, with the midfield losing all control without Macca and Szobo.”

Liverpool FC: On this day

(L-R) The Liverpool coaching team of Chris Lawler, Roy Evans, manager Joe Fagan and Ronnie Moran celebrate with the European Cup

On this day in 1921, Joe Fagan was born in Walton Hospital.

While the likes of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Jurgen Klopp are bigger figures in Liverpool’s history, he was a great manager in his own right and a big part of the Anfield boot room.

Taking over from Paisley in 1983, Fagan secured a European Cup, First Division and League Cup treble in his first season in charge.

He ultimately only lasted two years in charge of Liverpool, with his final game the 1985 European Cup final defeat to Juventus in Heysel, on a shocking night that saw 39 Juve fans lose their lives.
