Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup by Plymouth earlier this month, however, Arne Slot’s men are still in contention to win a treble.

The Reds have a very healthy 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League after their win over Newcastle on Wednesday and although that title is not wrapped up, Slot may have an eye on the Champions League when it comes to resting players.

Liverpool will host Everton on April 2 ahead of Slot’s men travelling to Fulham on April 6; West Ham arrive at Anfield on April 13 before the Reds are on the road again to Leicester on April 20; with their last contest of the month being Tottenham at home on April 27.

Liverpool have a tough task in trying to get past PSG in the Last 16 of the Champions League but should the Reds overcome the Ligue 1 leaders, April will get even busier.

The Quarter-finals of the tournament are set to be played on 8/9 and 15/16 of April, where the Premier League leaders are likely to face Aston Villa should Unai Emery’s side get past Club Brugge.

Should Liverpool make it to the semi-finals, those matches will be contested on 29/30 April and 6/7 May, with potential opponents being Arsenal, Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.

This is a gruelling schedule for Slot’s men but given their healthy Premier League advantage, there are games in which the Liverpool boss can rest players.

Mohamed Salah is one name Slot may look to rest in April, along with Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch as the trio have racked up a lot of minutes this season.

With the view of going all the way in the Champions League this season the first game Slot has a chance to rest some players is Southampton on March 8, which is just before the Reds’ second leg against PSG.

When it comes to April, depending on the lead in the Premier League, the Dutch coach will have an eye on giving some players a break against West Ham and Leicester as both games fall around both quarter-final clashes in the Champions League.
