Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that the enforced break from Premier League matches will give his squad the chance to reset for the remainder of the season after a dismal run which has seen them drop 20 points in their 14 league matches this season.
The Reds return to action tonight at Villa Park, a ground where they've enjoyed a lot of recent success, but Unai Emery will be keen to make his mark back in the English top flight.
Emery was in charge of Sevilla when they beat Klopp's Liverpool 3-1 in the Europa League final in 2016 but that's been his only success over the German manager. So he'll be hoping Villa can emulate, or at least get close to their incredible 7-2 win in this fixture back in 2020.

It should be a game that produces goals. Eight of the last ten have seen three or more scored and Liverpool average 2.9 goals per game in that period. Villa's goal stats are skewed by that 7-2 win but they've still found the net in six of those ten.
Mo Salah has scored in each of his past four starts against Aston Villa and he'll be the key man for Liverpool if they're to mount an attack on the top four.
