Jamie Carragher is in no doubt Liverpool will come through their dip in form sooner rather than later - and the defender believes they now have the perfect fixture to turn their season around.
The Reds conceded two late goals to lose 2-1 to Lyon in the Champions League - and now go into this weekend's clash with Manchester United having lost four on the spin.
However, Carra thinks the visit of our north-west rivals on Sunday could be the catalyst for a return to form.
"We're going through a tough patch but we've been through them before and we'll bounce back, there's no doubt about that," said the vice-captain.
"We always bounce back because we've got a lot of fight and character.
"It's always a great game. That could be the game we need - if we win it will give everyone a massive lift."
Liverpool have collected three points from three in the Champions League group stages and have work to do to catch Fiorentina on six points and Lyon on nine.
Carra added: "It's massively disappointing for us and it gives us a lot to do.
"They caught us on the counter attack for the second goal. We would have been disappointed not to win but to lose that late in the game is even more so.
"You never know how results are going to go, so you've just got to look after yourself and try to win every game - and that's something we're looking to do now."
