Liverpool set for broadcasting boost as pattern emerges in April fixture list

April is shaping up to be an exciting month for Liverpool.

With the Carabao Cup already secured, Jurgen Klopp's side have now turned their attention to claiming the remaining three trophies up for grabs this season. Indeed, the Reds' quest for the quadruple is well and truly alive but will be defined by the eight fixtures to come next month.

Manchester City stand in Liverpool's way of both FA Cup and Premier League success, with Pep Guardiola's men the side who must be beaten to reach a Wembley final and secure a second top-flight title in the space of three seasons.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Can Liverpool win the quadruple?

The good news for supporters is that each and every match throughout April will be shown live on television, starting this Saturday at home to Watford. BT Sport possess the broadcasting right for this particular fixture, which gets underway at Anfield at 12:30pm.

BT Sport will then be the go-to channel to watch the Reds take on Benfica in Lisbon just three days later as Liverpool go in search of a positive quarter-final first leg result to take back to Merseyside. Sky Sports will show the match everyone is waiting for on April 10, which sees City and Liverpool face off at the Etihad Stadium as part of Super Sunday.

There is no let-up for the Reds as they back in Champions League action on April 13, hosting Benfica in the second leg of their quarter-final on BT Sport. Moving away from BT and Sky for one fixture, the BBC will be the place to be as City and Liverpool go head-to-head for the second time in the space of six days for the FA Cup semi-final on April 16.

A Sky Sports double-header of Manchester United (April 19) and Everton (April 24) will see a return to Sky Sports, which sees Klopp's men take on their two bitter rivals in quick succession on home soil. April ends with a trip to St James' Park on April 30 on BT Sport.

Liverpool were also due to visit Villa Park live on Sky Sports on the weekend of April 16/17, though this fixture has been postponed as a result of the Reds' participation in the FA Cup semi-final. A new date is yet to be announced.

Although April will be an action-packed month for TV broadcasters, the same could not be said for the month of February. Three of Liverpool's four Premier League fixtures last month were not screened, with wins over Burnley, Norwich City and Leeds United unavailable for viewers in England.

April 5 - Benfica (A), BT Sport
