Still capable of bidding farewell to Liverpool with a magnificent quadruple, Jurgen Klopp will man the Old Trafford touchline on Sunday, when the Reds face Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Arsenal, Norwich City and Southampton have already fallen to Liverpool's superiority in the competition this season, with the Saints succumbing to goals from Jayden Danns and Lewis Koumas in round five.
Klopp's men travel to their bitter rivals on the back of a 6-1 Europa League last-16 second-leg crushing of Sparta Prague, which sealed an extraordinary 11-2 aggregate triumph en route to the quarter-finals.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with Man United, who got the better of Nottingham Forest in their last cup outing.
