Arsenal could hand Liverpool major Premier League boost ahead of nightmare run

Liverpool’s season is about to ramp up ahead of the Reds’ return to action after the March international break.

The Reds host Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday 31 March, before embarking into an intense April which will see them play eight matches in just 24 days.

Jurgen Klopp’s squad will at least hope to be boosted by the return of a number of injured players heading into such a period. Liverpool currently have 10 senior players on the sidelines, though Ibrahima Konate, Darwin Nunez, and Curtis Jones are eyeing up a return against the Seagulls.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota could return at home to Sheffield United on Thursday 4 April, if not away at Manchester United on Sunday 7 April. While Joel Matip has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, it remains unclear if Thiago Alcantara will return before the end of the campaign, Alisson Becker, Stefan Bajcetic, and Ben Doak could potentially return later in April, if not May.

With the Premier League and Europa League up for grabs, such returns are very much timely. Especially when you break down not only the quick turnaround, but some of the travelling involved in the Reds’ April period too.

They are currently scheduled to finish the month with four successive away games in just 10 days between April 18 and April 27. Progress to the Europa League semi-finals and that will extend to five successive away matches in 15 days up until May 2.
