Liverpool manager Arne Slot will look to put aside some domestic woes as he prepares for his team's Champions League trip to French side Marseille on Jan 21.
The Reds drew 1-1 with relegation-threatened Burnley in the English Premier League on Jan 17, their fourth straight league stalemate as they sit in fourth place.
Slot will now turn his attention to Europe and their next fixture against Marseille, who are seeking a third consecutive win in the Champions League, at the Stade Velodrome.
Ahead of the matches on Jan 20, Liverpool were ninth in the league phase standings, with their opponents 16th but just three points behind Slot's men, highlighting the importance of the clash as both aim to make the last 16.
