Liverpool return to action when they travel to Newcastle United on Sunday (16.30 BST).
And at this early stage of the 2023-24 Premier League season, it already feels like an important clash.
The race for a top-four finish is set to be hotly contested this term. After missing out on Champions League qualification last term, that is the Reds’ chief priority.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have had a summer of unheaval and uncertaintly - certainly the transfer window has not been as smooth as in years gone by. But the Liverpool boss will be content with taking four points from the opening two games - a 1-1 draw at Chelsea followed up by a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth.
Newcastle finished in the top four at the Reds’ expensive in 2022-23 and will be aiming to continue on an upward trajectory. They thrashed Aston Villa 5-1 in their first fixture before losing 1-0 to champions Manchester City.
A close encouter at St James’ Park is expected and here’s the latest injury and selection news for both Liverpool and Newcastle.
