    We're all really disappointed these games aren't staggered, right?

    You can watch every single Premier League game live - and have to choose between two English teams in Champions League quarter-finals.

    Imagine a 6pm/8pm double.

  2. Team news - Jota startspublished at 18:47 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    Real Madrid v Liverpool (20:00 BST)

    Liverpool make three changes to the team that won 3-0 at Arsenal. Diogo Jota, who scored twice after coming off the bench at the Emirates, starts in place of Roberto Firmino.

    The other two changes come in midfield, with Gini Wijnaldum and Naby Keita replacing James Milner and Thiago.

    All three dropped players are on the bench.

    Real Madrid are without Sergio Ramos (calf) and Raphael Varane (Covid) and so Nacho Fernandez and Eder Militao are paired at centre-back.

    They make two changes from the side that beat Eibar, with Toni Kroos and Vinicius Jr starting in place of Isco and Marcelo, both of whom are on the bench.

  3. Analysis: Why Fabinho midfield return is key for Redspublished at 18:45 British Summer Time 6 April 2021

    I feel very differently now about Liverpool's chances of getting past Real Madrid in the Champions League than I did a few weeks ago and there is one reason for that - Fabinho.

    It's no coincidence that since the Brazilian returned to central midfield in mid-March, Liverpool have beaten RB Leipzig, Wolves and Arsenal and have looked far more like their old selves.

    People have spent the past few months talking about what a huge loss Virgil van Dijk has been at the back since he was sidelined in October, but I doubt even Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp realised how good Fabinho would be at centre-half - he has shown he is among the best in the Premier League.

    Arguably the biggest loss, though, has been not having him in his usual role, shielding the defence.

    It is huge to have him back and Klopp is probably wondering where his side would be in the Premier League if he had been there all season. I know a lot of Liverpool fans are.

      Vincent Marnix: Haaland and Mbappe are the next Ronaldo and Messi? Those two are so ridiculously good that the chances of two players reaching that level again, whilst playing simultaneously, is Leicester City title winning odds. We all know miracles can happen, however.

      It can be tough for teams to scout players during the Covid-19 pandemic with international travel restricted. So luckily for Manchester City, Erling Braut Haaland is coming to them on Tuesday.

      City manager Pep Guardiola wants the Borussia Dortmund striker, 20, to be Sergio Aguero's replacement when the club's all-time top scorer leaves at the end of his contract this summer.

      Haaland - son of former City midfielder Alf Inge Haaland - has become the world's most sought-after number nine with his prolific goalscoring, having been virtually unknown two years ago.

      The Norway player is the runaway top scorer in this season's Champions League with 10 goals in six games. Nobody else has scored more than six.

      He has scored 20 Champions League goals in 14 games in his career. Nobody else had managed that many in fewer than 24 games.

      Only four players (including Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi) have scored more goals in Europe's top five leagues than Haaland's 21 this season - for a team unlikely to even qualify for next year's Champions League.

      What better way to see if he can score against Premier League teams than by facing the champions-elect?

      When Liverpool's name was drawn with Real Madrid's, there was one thing on most people's minds.

      While winning the Champions League the following year and the Premier League the year after will have helped, there is still a lot of resentment in Reds circles about how the 2018 final went.

      At the end of an unbelievable first season at the club, Mohamed Salah lasted only 30 minutes when he suffered a shoulder injury after a tussle with Sergio Ramos.

      Real went on to win 3-1 thanks to two howlers from goalkeeper Loris Karius, two goals from Gareth Bale and one from Karim Benzema.

      Liverpool and Real's teams have been fairly consistent in recent years, meaning nine of each starting line-up are still at the club. But three of the main protagonists will not be playing on Tuesday.

      Ramos will not be there to injure Salah, Bale will not be there to score a bicycle kick this time and Karius will not be there to throw the ball straight at Benzema for a goal. Ramos is injured, and the latter two are out on loan.

      Some of the football recently has been a bit of a struggle to watch, right?

      World Cup qualifiers, international friendlies, middling Premier League games.

      But tonight the Champions League quarter-finals get under way. No need to feign interest anymore.

      It's Real Madrid v Liverpool and Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund.
