With a difficult Premier League campaign now entering its final third, Liverpool's recent history at least provides a cause for optimism for Jurgen Klopp.
A dour goalless draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday night was a frustrating one as they failed to really turn the heat on Tottenham in fourth place prior to their own 2-0 win over Chelsea in the London derby the following afternoon.
It leaves Klopp's side now nine adrift of that final Champions League place but with two games in hand to come. Crucially, Antonio Conte's men also have to visit Anfield in two months' time. How big might that game be on April 30?
