With their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hanging in the balance, Liverpool will welcome relegation-threatened Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Sunday.
It would be fair to say that the Premier League champions have not been at their best in 2025-26, but they will see this weekend's clash as a must-win considering the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea could pull away in the top-four race.
On Tuesday, Arne Slot's Reds were downed 1-0 by Galatasaray in the round of 16 of UEFA's premier club competition, and fans will be keen to help the Merseysiders bounce back on their return to domestic action by creating an intimidating atmosphere against Spurs.
Supporters are set to be debating the manager's team selection and tactics in the hours before kick off, and the result after the clash, so expect the bars and pubs near Anfield to be lively.
Heading to the game yourself? Read on as Football Ground Guide covers all you need to know about where to get a pint near Anfield.
