Anfield will welcome cup winners Liverpool back to Merseyside tonight as they prepare to do it all again, this time in the FA Cup – starting with a fifth-round tie against Southampton.
Russell Martin may well have hoped this daunting trip would provide a window into how his Saints team could fare on a return to the top flight for next season, but a pair of home defeats in the past week have kicked them out of the Championship automatic promotion places.
And losing form before a trip to Anfield is rarely a good idea with Liverpool riding the crest of a wave having beaten Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp may not like talking about his farewell tour but one last journey to Wembley to win this competition at the end of May could prove his final outing in the Reds dugout.
To make that happen, he will have to rally his depleted squad once again with this tie having to be settled on the night – opening up the prospect of extra-time and penalties.
