Liverpool could very much do with a win in the race for the Premier League's top five spots, with the English clubs almost guaranteed to get the additional Champions League place.
Finishing in fifth place in the standings will be enough to get back into UEFA's top competition ahead of next season, and that is where Liverpool sits at the moment, two points behind Aston Villa, who play West Ham on Sunday.
With eight games remaining, the margins are tight for Arne Slot's men, and more difficult fixtures are just around the corner. Liverpool, therefore, needs to collect a win here, just before the March international break.

Liverpool will be without Mohamed Salah for the game at the Amex Stadium. Alexander Isak isn't back yet either, while Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo, and Conor Bradley are out of the season.
Brighton will have to do without Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster, who both remain out, while winger Kaoru Mitoma, who has caused Liverpool problems in this fixture in the past, is a doubt.

Experienced duo James Milner and Pascal Gross have both been lining up in midfield of late, with the ex-Liverpool man potentially set to take on his old side.
With Joe Gomez a doubt and Jeremie Frimpong's fitness needing to be managed, Dominik Szoboszlai may be required to fill in at right-back once again — even though that is far from his best position.
"I don't know how many times I have to say this, and please keep asking the question because then I can every time tell you, Dominik is, for me, a midfielder," Arne Slot said on Friday.
"He is, for me, a midfielder — how many times should I say this? Five or six times? So, the moment I play him in a different position, that doesn't come because I think I want to be a tactical genius.

"That comes because I don't have other options available in that position and I try to choose the best available player for that position. And if I then sometimes play him there when there is a full-back on the bench, please ask yourself the question, 'Is that full-back then available to play that game? Is it smart to play him, or is it a big risk to play him?'
"Because if I have another full-back available that is in good shape and in good form and is available to play, he will play there and Dominik will play in the midfield.
"So, every time I make a line-up from now on, you don't have to ask yourself that question — 'There must be a reason why he's playing right full-back?' — because Dominik is a very, very, very good midfielder for us.
"We have more than only Dominik, by the way, so that's also why I can bring him to another position. First of all, because he's able to play in different positions, because he's done really well also in that position. But if I have the chance, I play him in the midfield."
