    Liverpool meet Manchester City on Saturday, the first of three ‘Big Six’ clashes that will see Jurgen Klopp’s side need points to boost their Champions League hopes.

    Liverpool will face a daunting fixture list in April, with the first of three clashes against the so-called ‘Big Six’ in eight days, starting with an away game against Manchester City. Jürgen Klopp will have to do without six stars, which is also doubtful for a couple.

    There is no doubt what task awaits the Reds over the next week, with this weekend’s clash with Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad soon to be followed by Chelsea on Tuesday and a meeting with Arsenal leaders on Sunday. There’s a feeling this week won’t be for the timid of Liverpool supporters. Liverpool very rarely get through an international break unscathed in terms of staff injuries and this week has been no different with one star picking up a knock that could keep him out for this run of matches and another likely to face a test of eligibility for citizens. That wasn’t all bad, with the sight of Luis Díaz coming to train with his team-mates after a lengthy injury layoff at the AXA Training Center this week, a truly promising sign as Liverpool head into the last 12 Premier League matches. season.
