Knocked off
We will find out this week, as the Reds resume their Premier League campaign at home to Burnley.
A run of four draws in six league games has given the impetus to Manchester City, but Jurgen Klopp's side
Liverpool were 3-1 winners when visiting Burnley back in December, coming from behind to grab all three points at Turf Moor.
Here, Goal takes a look at everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's meeting...
Liverpool Injuries
Liverpool's injury worries appeared to be easing, with Roberto Firmino shaking off an ankle problem to feature at Everton.
But James Milner, Dejan Lovren and Alberto Moreno all missed training at Melwood this week, with Lovren still no closer to a return after two months out with a hamstring issue.
Joe Gomez, injured in the reverse fixture, should be back later this month.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain featured for the Reds' under-23 side at Derby County on Friday and is nearing a comeback, while young striker Rhian Brewster is also back in full training after 14 months out with a knee injury.

Liverpool do not have any suspended players for this game
Liverpool Likely Line-Up
We can expect at least one change from last weekend's draw at Everton, with Firmino almost certain to come in for Divock Origi up front.
After that, the big question surrounds Klopp's midfield. Will he return to the 4-2-3-1 formation he has used in the past, with Naby Keita (left) or Xherdan Shaqiri (right) brought in? Both were unused at Goodison.
Keita could also be used as a third midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation, with either Gini Wijnaldum or Jordan Henderson missing out. That, for now, appears likeliest.

Burnley Team News
Burnley will be without long-term absentees Jon Walters (Achilles), Steven Defour (calf) and Aaron Lennon (knee) for this one.
Peter Crouch could face his former club, though he is likely to be used from the bench with Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood both in good form of late.
