Liverpool now knows when it will play each remaining fixture until the end of the season after both Arsenal and Manchester City were knocked out of the Champions League.

West Ham United is 2-0 down against Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen and only Aston Villa of the English teams is likely to get into the final four of a European competition, with Unai Emery's men 2-1 up against Ligue 1 outfit Lille in the Conference League.

Had Arsenal beaten Bayern Munich, the Gunners would have needed to take the early Saturday kick-off on the weekend when they face Spurs and Liverpool travels to West Ham.



That would have meant West Ham vs Liverpool moving to Sunday but those games will now stay where they are as a result of Arsenal's elimination.

That means Liverpool must play three times in the space of seven days, all away from home.

That looks like an incredibly intense run of games and Liverpool needs to win every league match left to have any chance of winning the title.

After that, Liverpool vs Tottenham is on Sunday, May 5 and the Reds trip to Aston Villa is on Monday, May 13.

Not having Arsenal take on Manchester City in a mammoth Champions League semi-final is not great either, with both of those sides having one less thing to distract them in the Premier League title race.

All in all, yesterday's results are a double blow for the Reds, though they just have to get back to winning ways and hope for the best.

It is a disadvantage that Arsenal and Manchester City are out of European competition, and that the West Ham game isn't being moved, but there is nothing that Liverpool can do about either of those things.
