Thiago Alcantara admits he is relishing Liverpool's blockbuster April

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara insists the players are in a 'one-mission mood' as they enter a hugely-significant April.

Saturday's early kick-off at home to Watford, when they could go top of the Premier League for the first time since September, is a prelude to a Champions League quarter-final with Benfica before they face Manchester City twice in two competitions within the space of a week.

Matches against Manchester United, Everton and Newcastle complete eight games in 29 days, although there is also the potential for a European semi-final first leg before the end of the month, and the Spain international likened the run of matches to a World Cup in terms of the importance of the fixtures.
