The Reds suffered a shock defeat at Anfield when the Serie A side made their visit in the quarter-final match. Goals from Gianluca Scamacca and Mario Pasalic ensured Jurgen Klopp’s side have an uphill task when they make the trip to Italy on Thursday. The situation Klopp’s team find themselves in left commentator Peter Drury ready to pose Neville the question of whether they are better off turning their attention to six wins in their remaining Premier League matches. Defeat against Palace has left that non-negotiable in his eyes.

“I don’t think they can do anything other than treat that game on Thursday night with full 100 per cent attention,” said Neville. “I don’t think they can, particularly after what happened (on Sunday). There is another factor that has come in. They have got to get their form back.

They have got to get back into winning ways and they have to get back to momentum. They have to swing the momentum, somehow. “Going out on Thursday, with a whimper, playing a weakened team, is not going to get their season back on track. It’s not!

I think they have to go there on Thursday night and think about a famous night. To get something going, to get some sort of momentum shift. He will go there on Thursday night and thinking of, a special night, and we are going to get this season back on track quickly.”
