After a morale-boosting and comprehensive victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League, Liverpool's true test of their new-found confidence will come against Wolves.
Back in the Premier League, a competition they have only accumulated 10 points in during 2021, Liverpool will face a side who will sit in and defend deep, while having plenty of quality on the counter-attack - the exact set-up the Reds have struggled with lately.
RB Leipzig might have better players and be flying high in the Bundesliga, but Nuno Espirito Santo will not play into Liverpool's hands quite like Julian Nagelsmann did - with Fabinho among those to be tested.
"Wolves have had a really poor season but the only thing is, they are tactically a bit of a nightmare for this Liverpool team," said David Hughes on the Analysing Anfield podcast.
"They have pace, and Pedro Neto is a lot faster than I realised when he first came to the country," added Josh Williams.
"Adama Traore is too, but he is not as much of a threat in terms of going in behind - he is more of a carrier.
"Neto will be the one to be a threat in behind."
"Traore is good at accelerating past over the first couple of yards and Neto is definitely a problem," Hughes continued.
"But so is trying to create chances against Wolves. They are nowhere near what they were last season but they sit in and often fall into a back-five.

"These are the problems Liverpool have had against these teams in terms of creating clear-cut opportunities."
"In the same way that Virgil van Dijk is a lot of Liverpool’s defence, Raul Jiminez is certainly a lot of Liverpool’s attack," Williams concluded.
"Alongside that, Nuno has had other issues to deal with. Jiminez was lost to injury and he has sold Diogo Jota and Matt Doherty, who was integral to how they scored goals.
"It is a transition year for Wolves and alongside all of that, they have underperformed in the finishing department.
"They have underperformed by 4.1 goals, which is bettered - or worsened! - by only five other teams, one of which is Liverpool."
Fabinho in midfield appeared to transform Liverpool in Europe, but the question now, if Klopp sticks with that as he likely to, is how much of that was down to the Brazilian and how much was down to Leipzig's tactics.
Against Wolves, though, there might not be a better side to prove which side of that fence Fabinho's influence lies.
"Wolves are a difficult team to break down, even though the amount of through-balls they have conceded is big," Williams added.
"Liverpool are way out in front - but second in the table for that is Wolves.
"That is interesting considering how deep you associate Wolves’ defence as being and it is something to watch out for - the two teams who concede the most through-balls facing off."
Fabinho shielding and intercepting those passes will be crucial as Neto and Wolves attempt to break away.
The Champions League quarter-final draw awaits after Leipzig were dispatched.
But translating Fabinho and Liverpool's form in Europe into the Premier League will be the true test of whether or not the Brazilian can help them turn a corner, against the exact set-up they have often struggled with in his midfield absence.
