We've already seen plenty of Liverpool matches in the past month or so billed as 'season-defining'. First, there was the Merseyside derby against Everton, a week on from the appalling 3-0 defeat to Wolves. Then it was the trip to Newcastle United in the very next game, viewed as a must-win clash against a top-four rival. Liverpool managed to win all of those matches, but the decisive games keep coming.

Often, all it takes to transform your prospects is a strong run of form, as Liverpool has already demonstrated. After the aforementioned defeat at Wolves, Liverpool was 10th, six places and 11 points off the top four, albeit with a game hand.



Liverpool can't afford to bank on its kinder run of matches, and must stay in touch through its trickiest sequence of the entire campaign.
