The sound of the iconic Champions League theme may just act as a soothing balm for Jurgen Klopp on Thursday evening.
Having enduring his worst start to a Premier League season as Liverpool manager, Klopp could probably use a midweek distraction, so the draw for Europe's most grandiose football tournament is ideal timing.
All eyes will be on the glitzy event in the Turkish city of Istanbul when the draw is made at around 5pm today and those at the AXA Centre can fleetingly take their mind of fixing a faltering start.

Preparations for Saturday's visit from Bournemouth are already well underway with a training session set to take place on Thursday, but the draw can at least dominate proceedings for an hour so at the club's Kirkby base.
More importantly it offers some perspective for a disgruntled fanbase whose complaints have grown more audible with each of the three games so far this domestic season.
Last year's finalists will once again have designs on a serious crack at the biggest club competition in the game as Klopp and his staff learn their fate in Turkey.
Supporters have become accustomed to being viewed as a heavyweight of the Champions League, having reached three finals in four years between 2018 and 2022 and, of course, adding to their rich European heritage by picking up a sixth title in Madrid on June 1 2019.
That evening still marks the finest hour for Klopp at Anfield, given the Premier League title win of 2020 was a more sustained, long-term push that eventually ended a 30-year wait.
So while two draws with Fulham and Crystal Palace before defeat at Manchester United have amounted to the most frustrating start to a campaign since Brendan Rodgers' fledgling days in charge a decade ago, the Champions League's return may just refocus some minds.
Last year's draw saw Liverpool named in what was initially coined the 'Group of Death' but Klopp's men made short work of Porto, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid with six straight wins - a feat never done before by an English side
Klopp has proven himself to be a skilled operator on the continent having already taken his side to four European finals including the 2016 Europa League meeting with Sevilla in Switzerland..
And having reached a final in 2018, '19 and '22, a new contract that was signed by Klopp around a month before May's showpiece with Real Madrid affords the German ample opportunity to write several more chapters into Liverpool's unique love story with the European Cup.
Supporters watching on then will be reminded of just how powerful a force their team is at this level when the montages start to be aired. Klopp and his team will be convinced they can do it all over again and with some justification.
This time around, the permutations could see yet another clash with Real Madrid, the holders of course, while Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich present two potential obstacles from Pot 1. With teams from the same country unable to meet until the knock-out stages, the remainder of the first pot is relatively kind to Klopp's side.
Europa League holders Eintracht Frankfurt are in there alongside Porto, AC Milan and Ajax - three teams who Liverpool have beaten within the last two years.
It's Pot 3 that offers more intrigue with the likes of Red Bull Salzburg, Shakhtar Donetsk and Napoli all in the mix alongside Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. For fans of a certain vintage, a clash with Leverkusen will evoke memories of a quarter-final defeat of 2002. For the romantics, though, a potential meeting with Klopp's former side Borussia Dortmund appeals.
Pot 4 could see a first-ever meeting with Rangers, while their Glasgow rivals Celtic are also in the mix alongside Marseille, FC Copenhagen, Viktoria Plzen and Dinamo Zagreb. Klopp and co will not fear any of those, you feel, but a meeting with Rangers would be a historic one, even if a relatively short trip to Scotland is not necessarily desirable for fans looking to take full advantage of the opportunity for a European away day.
It may not be going quite according to plan right now on the home front, but the look ahead to some European excursions could just help to remind Liverpool exactly who they are.
Pot 1: Real Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt, Manchester City, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Ajax.
Pot 2: Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, RB Leipzig, Tottenham Hotspur.
Pot 3: Borussia Dortmund, Red Bull Salzburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter Milan, Napoli, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Bayer Leverkusen.
Pot 4: Marseille, Club Bruges, Celtic, Viktoria Plzen, Maccabi Haifi, Rangers, FC Copenhagen and Dinamo Zagreb.
