Former Liverpool winger Jason McAteer is pleased that the Reds have time off from the Premier League title race, believing that the lack of a game this weekend will help their players recover for key matches on the horizon.
Jurgen Klopp's side do not have any games this weekend following their surprise FA Cup exit at the hands of Wolves in the third round, giving Liverpool a chance to regroup ahead of difficult fixtures against Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
Title rivals Manchester City have played one more game than the Reds in the Premier League, but are only ahead on goal difference at the moment.
