Liverpool will play perhaps their biggest Premier League match of the season on Sunday afternoon, as they take on Chelsea at Anfield.
This is very similar, with the Reds in a title-race, to what the situation was in 2013/14 season, and that was of course, the game Steven Gerrard slipped in.
The Reds are two points above Manchester City, who face Crystal Palace, and have the chance to move above Liverpool in the table - before Jurgen Klopp's men have even kicked a ball.
These two teams met earlier in the season, and a fine Daniel Sturridge equaliser late on ensured the points were shared at Stamford Bridge.
TEAM NEWS
Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson returns to the squad after being suspended for the midweek Champions League win over FC Porto at Anfield.
Joe Gomez was on the bench for that game, so he could return to the Reds' side, and Adam Lallana is set to be fit enough for the bench.
Chelsea made numerous changes in mid-week for their Europa League win, and are set to recall some of their key players - including the in-form Eden Hazard.
Callum Hudson-Odoi could make a return to the squad after being left out of Thursday night's trip to Prague.
THE MANAGERS
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "I feel the positive energy. It's a massive change from surprise we are up there to getting used to it and getting more confident.
"The five or 10 seconds after the Tottenham equaliser (at Anfield two weeks ago) was the best reaction in the stadium.
"We really feel as one with the supporters as a whole group. You don't walk alone, you're never alone in those situations.
"We are trying to keep this dream alive and at the moment, it's all good."
