Fixture Changes:
Liverpool’s early April schedule has been shaken up with three fixture changes. The games against Sheffield United, Man United, and Crystal Palace have all been moved for television coverage. This comes as no surprise considering Liverpool’s strong performance and their potential involvement in the title race.

Brazilian Transfer Rumor:
Exciting transfer rumors have been circulating about Liverpool’s interest in Palmeiras player Luís Guilherme. According to Brazilian reporter Jorge Nicola, Liverpool is expected to make an offer for the 18-year-old attacking midfielder in the coming days. Guilherme, who has already made 32 appearances for Palmeiras’ first team, is considered an exciting talent despite not yet registering a goal or assist. His experience playing for Brazil’s youth teams could make it easier for Liverpool to obtain a work permit if the transfer were to materialize.
Press Conference Updates:
During the press conference, Klopp provided updates on the team’s injured players. Stefan Bajcetic is reportedly pain-free but has not received the green light for team training yet. Wataru Endo sustained a knock against Chelsea, and Klopp mentioned that his availability for the upcoming matches is uncertain. Klopp also expressed uncertainty about Thiago’s return, stating that there is no timeframe for his recovery and implying that he may not feature again this season.

Philippe Coutinho, on loan in Qatar, has stated that he has no regrets about his move to Barcelona in a £142 million transfer. Meanwhile, Andy Robertson’s impressive performances have caught the attention of Bayern Munich, who reportedly consider him their top choice to replace left-back Alphonso Davies in the summer.
In other football news, Pep Guardiola has challenged Jack Grealish to improve his performances if he wants to regain his place in the Manchester City team. Unfortunately, Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma is set to miss the rest of the season due to a back injury sustained in a recent match.
