Jurgen Klopp has revealed he used the international break to plan for next season and insisted 'positive' progress was made.
Liverpool return to action on Saturday lunchtime with a trip to Manchester City, before they face Chelsea on Tuesday and Arsenal next Sunday in a crunch week of action.
The Reds currently lie seven points off fourth place Tottenham and face a battle to qualify for the Champions League - although they do have two games in hand on Spurs.
It has been a difficult season at Anfield with the club likely to undergo a significant rebuild in the summer - particularly in midfield with Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount and Matheus Nunes among those linked - as they aim to get back to the heights that saw them come two games away from completing a famous quadruple last season.
