Liverpool will have to come down quickly from the high of reaching the FA Cup final, with a Premier League test against old rivals Manchester United awaiting them this evening.
These days, Man City pose the much bigger competitive challenge, as the 5-0 victory at Old Trafford earlier on in the season underlined. If anything, Liverpool are in an even better place now than they were then, but Jürgen Klopp is not naive enough to take the points for granted this time around.
Nonetheless, some rotation may be necessary, with this game the latest in an intense run-in that looks likely to end in Liverpool playing every available game this season. It is Klopp's job to strike the balance of maintaining a modicum of freshness while also keeping the pressure on in the hunt for the Premier League title, currently the most distant component of the elusive quadruple.
These are the teams that some of our Liverpool.com writers would select.
