Jurgen Klopp is planning to use the rest of the season as a platform for the next, saying "the future has already started" at Liverpool.
And the Reds boss feels the eight games that are left give him enough time and space to iron the kinks before a major summer rebuild that will have a big say on how Klopp's squad bounce back from an underwhelming season that currently sees them nine points off the top four.
Monday's 6-1 win over Leeds United was a morale-boosting one for Liverpool as they ended a five-game wait for a victory and the Reds welcome relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest to Anfield on Saturday afternoon for a game that could see them close the gap on Newcastle United in fourth ahead of their own visit from fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
