Liverpool face a testing four-day period when they host FC Sion in the Europa League on Thursday night, before a trip across Stanley Park to do battle with foes Everton in a crucial Merseyside derby.
Before they can turn their attention to local rivals, Brendan Rodgers must rouse his men for an important clash against Swiss opposition in Europe.
After a stalemate in their opening Group B match against Ligue 1 side Bordeaux, the Reds will be desperate to seize the initiative against Sion who won their opening group match 2-1 against Rubin Kazan.
With rumours continuing to circulate about the future of Rodgers every match is crucial to retaining his job.
The hosts are expected to rotate their squad significantly, with youngster Jordan Rossiter yet again ready to assume a role in central midfield.
In defence Kolo Toure has been earmarked to start, while Daniel Sturridge will probably be wrapped in cotton wool in preparation for Sunday’s Merseyside derby.
