Liverpool will not be in action this weekend despite the international break coming to an end for the final time in the regular season.

The Reds ended the action before the break on a low note after first being knocked out of the Champions League by PSG on penalties before losing the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle United 2-1.

Since then, Arne Slot will have had plenty of time to gather his thoughts and re-energise his team ahead of the Premier League title race run-in.



However, the Reds are not able to jump straight back into domestic action this weekend due to the FA Cup quarter-finals being played.

The Reds were knocked out of the competition in February after losing 1-0 to Championship club Plymouth Argyle at Home Park.

The shock defeat ended Liverpool's involvement in the competition, with the Pilgrims exiting the FA Cup in the next round against Manchester City.

As the Premier League anticipates that the vast majority of teams in the FA Cup quarter-finals will be competing in their division, they do not schedule any matches for this weekend.

This has proven to be the case this season, as Preston North End are the only side outside the top flight to be competing in the FA Cup last eight.

To make up for no Premier League football this weekend, the season will continue with a special round of midweek fixtures with the Reds hosting Everton on Wednesday night in a highly anticipated Merseyside derby.

Further disruption to the Liverpool fixture list could be on the horizon depending on the results in the FA Cup.
