Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has promised a strong reaction from his team, stunned by their 3-0 Europa League quarterfinal, first-leg home loss to Atalanta, when they host Crystal Palace in their English Premier League clash at Anfield on April 14.
Gianluca Scamacca struck either side of half-time before Mario Pasalic capped an impressive win for the Italian Serie A side on April 11, as the Reds slumped to their joint heaviest home defeat in European competition.
Klopp will seek to overturn the huge deficit in the second leg in Bergamo next week, but there is also much at stake in his team's meeting with Palace.
They are involved in a super tight title race in the Premier League with Arsenal and Manchester City, who beat Luton Town 5-1 on April 13 to go two points clear at the top having played a game more.
Depending on the results of their matches, the top-three positions can easily change considering the tight margins.
