Fresh from advancing to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, Liverpool return to Premier League action away to newly-promoted Luton Town on Sunday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp's men survived a scare and torrid conditions to see off Bournemouth 2-1 in the cup in midweek, as Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez struck either side of a Justin Kluivert leveller.
The Reds now have a three-game winning run to try to extend at Kenilworth Road, although their last two away games against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion have seen them amass just one point.
