Liverpool will be looking to bounce back after the international break having suffered defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup. Jürgen Klopp will be hoping he can welcome several first-team stars — such as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones — back into the matchday squad soon too.
Brighton and Hove Albion will be the first task in hand when the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez return from their respective national teams, as the Reds aim to secure more silverware to mark Klopp’s exit in style this summer. The Carabao Cup was already secured back in February after Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0, courtesy of a late Van Dijk winner in extra time.
Liverpool is currently level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table and has also progressed into the latter stages of the Europa League, following a dominant 11-2 win on aggregate against Sparta Prague. Klopp’s side will face Serie A side Atalanta in the quarter-finals, which is penciled in for April 11.
Ahead of a busy return to action after the international period, here are all the latest Liverpool.com headlines you can’t afford to miss.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future is once again being discussed. The academy graduate has just over a year remaining on his contact at Anfield, and Fabrizio Romano has suggested Real Madrid is monitoring his situation.
It would be difficult to imagine the 25-year-old leaving Liverpool, and he has spoken previously about his desire to remain at the club throughout his career. What’s more, he has another ambition he still wants to realize with the Reds.
