A morale-boosting victory in the Merseyside derby on Monday night has lifted some, if not all, of the gloom around Liverpool.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo were enough against the relegation-haunted Everton and suddenly the top-four charge doesn't look like such a pipe dream for Jurgen Klopp.
With Newcastle United to come on Saturday evening at St James Park, victory will see Klopp's men chop down that deficit further to six points, with a game in hand still to be played on the Magpies.
