Jurgen Klopp believes the return of supporters to Anfield represents "great timing" as Liverpool strive for Champions League qualification.
The Reds moved into the top four for the first time since February with a hard-earned 3-0 win at Burnley on Wednesday evening.
Klopp's side stand in fourth place, ahead of Leicester City on goal difference and just a point adrift of third-placed Chelsea.
It means Liverpool are strong favourites to qualify for the Champions League with victory in Sunday's final Premier League match at home to Crystal Palace, where 10,000 home fans will be in attendance.
And of having supporters back in Anfield for the first time in almost five months, Klopp said: "You cannot imagine how much we are looking forward to that. We need them, to be honest.
"It is great timing, I would say. We need them in the most positive football mood ever.
"Go there, celebrate yourself, push the team, be loud, be in the game, be the crowd we have missed so much.
"Hopefully we can celebrate something afterwards.
"Burnley having supporters in the stadium for the first time was great on one side, but when they are not with you it's not so cool! We saw that as we had quite a nervy start."
Tottenham's defeat at home to Aston Villa earlier on Wednesday means Liverpool will at the very least be playing in the Europa League next season.
And Klopp believes the fact his team are now only five points adrift of second-placed Manchester United underlines the difficulty of a uniquely taxing campaign for every Premier League club.
"We have qualified for the Europa League on the second-last matchday, so you see the situation we have been in," he said, speaking to liverpoolfc.com.
"Obviously, City are becoming champions this year with 80-odd points. United is now only five points ahead of us, so it's not the season where anyone has gone through and found it easy-going.
"It has been and is really tough for us, because Crystal Palace are really tough to play. With all the stories that are around, people tell us we won there 7-0 (in December) but they don't want to let that happen again.
"We are the one opponent they will fight with all they have. That's what they will do but we will do that as well.
"The situation is now clear. We have to win again - six weeks already - and we will try."
