A little under a year ago, Liverpool found themselves languishing 14 points behind Manchester City, their title hopes in tatters.
The year before that, it was their top four hopes seemingly blown away, a disastrous run of home defeats putting them seven points off a Champions League berth, with only 10 games remaining.
Both times they produced epic unbeaten stretches, to show not only a rare fight and spirit, but the quality of a truly great team. Now, with even their European hopes under threat, Jurgen Klopp expects a similar reaction. His side visit Newcastle nine points away from the fourth place in the Premier League table currently occupied by Saturday’s opponents.
