Liverpool FC next 6 big games and champions league draws in March
Following a subtly perfect February that saw 7 wins from 7 games and one League Cup final win, the fixtures continue till the end of the season for Liverpool FC in March.
Here are some important away trips, before a potential FA Cup quarter-final, then an international break and the return of the LFC Legends games.
March 2 – Norwich (H) FA Cup
A week and a half since their last visit, Norwich returns to Anfield this time in the FCup fifth round.
Klopp will have a much-rotated side, with plenty of high-profile games to come.
This is the first of three home games in seven days.
March 5 – West Ham (H)
West Ham arrives on Saturday evening, one of just two sides to have beaten the Reds this season.
After two defeats at the end of January, David Moyes’ side are back on form with four games unbeaten in the league, just two points behind Man United in fifth place in the table.
March 8 – Inter Milan (H) CL Last-16 2nd Leg
Liverpool already have a 2-0 lead from the first-leg when Inter arrives on Merseyside next week.
It is the return of European nights to Anfield for the first time since November and Inter’s first visit since 2008.
March 12 – Brighton (A)
The early kick-off on a Saturday is the trip to the south coast to face Brighton. A truly wonderful decision as TV companies and the Premier League continues to show absolutely no consideration for traveling supporters.
Brighton are struggling of late, losing their last three games, conceding seven, and failing to score.
Between now and this fixture they have just one match, against Newcastle.
March 16 – Arsenal (A)
A return to the Emirates, where the Reds beat the Gunners to qualify for the League Cup final in January.
The fourth meeting between the two sides this season, Arsenal are yet to score against the Reds. In fact, it’s five clean sheets in a row in this fixture.
Arsenal, though, are chasing the top four and won all three of their fixtures in February. They face Watford and Leicester before the Reds’ visit.
March 18 – Champions League Draw
Barring a catastrophic second leg against Inter Milan, Liverpool will be in the Champions League draw on Friday, March 18.
On that day teams will find out their opponents for both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals, on the road to Paris for the final.
March 19/20 – Man United (A) or FA Cup Quarter Final
Provided victory against Norwich in the fifth round, Liverpool will be in FA Cup action on the weekend of March 19/20, with the scheduled fixture against Man United to be re-arranged for a later date.
