Liverpool resume their Premier League title battle with Arsenal and Manchester City this weekend, with Crystal Palace visiting Merseyside on Sunday.
The Reds were stunned by Atalanta in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal tie this week, losing 3-0 at Anfield to end a home unbeaten run stretching back nearly 14 months.
Their substandard performance heightened concerns that Liverpool's hugely promising season, their last one under manager Jurgen Klopp, is beginning to peter out. They were eliminated from the FA Cup by Manchester United last month, while a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in their previous league game saw them lose top spot in the Premier League. Klopp will hope his team can dispel such thoughts when the Eagles head to Anfield.
Sunday's game could see a welcome return from injury for Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Klopp likely to rotate his side again after mixing up the starting 11 for the Atalanta game.
