Liverpool fans have not had a huge amount to cheer about since the turn of the year, but victory over Everton on Monday night restored smiles to faces.
Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo scored either side of half-time as the Reds defeated their local rivals 2-0 to end a run without a Premier League win which stretched back to December 30. Attention turns to Saturday's clash at Newcastle, who have exceeded expectations this season and head into the weekend sitting fourth, firmly in the race for Champions League qualification.
Victory over the Magpies would lead to faint hope that Liverpool can recover to finish in the top four, but that will be no easy task against the league's toughest defence. Meanwhile, the midweek talking points centre around long-term transfer target Jude Bellingham and an alternative Premier League table.
