Liverpool have geared up for their Sunday afternoon clash with Premier League rivals Tottenham by training at Melwood.
Jurgen Klopp's side are looking to return to winning ways in the league and build on their morale-boosting thrashing of Maribor in midweek.
The Reds hit seven in Slovenia as they moved to the top of their Champions League group and will hope to translate that form into their domestic campaign.

Liverpool sit eighth in the table having won only three of their opening eight games this season.
They were held to a goalless stalemate by Manchester United at Anfield last weekend and now face a tough trip to Wembley against an in-form Spurs side.
Liverpool's recent record against Mauricio Pochettino's side will put them in high spirits - they have not lost to Tottenham since November 2012.
Last season they drew 1-1 away at White Hart Lane thanks to a James Milner penalty before defeating them 2-0 at Anfield thanks to a Sadio Mane brace.

They will have to contend without the Senegalese on Sunday though as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has named the pacy forward in his squad for their World Cup qualifiers against South Africa on November 10 and 14, claiming there is 'no doubt' the player would be 100 per cent fit.
Klopp played down those expectations, however, as the initial assessment from the club's medical staff was up to six weeks - which would take Mane beyond those dates.

'I don't know how he can know. I don't know,' said Klopp.
'Sadio is still in rehab indoors, he is not doing any exercises outside.
'If he is fit earlier I would be really happy but no-one knows in this moment.
'They have very important games - I think they need one point from two games to be qualified - so they feel the pressure a little bit but we cannot change the situation.
'If Sadio is fit we cannot hide it, why should we do it? If he is fit we can do nothing to keep him here and he will go to Senegal but at this moment I don't know.'
