Ex-Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy expects his former club to come out fighting against Everton on Saturday.
The Reds were brought crashing down to earth prior to the international break after losing 7-2 to Aston Villa.
But Murphy thinks a Merseyside derby might be the perfect antidote to the shock loss at Villa Park.
"For the first time for many years, the blue half of the city will understandably go into the game expecting to win but in football you are best to be careful, particularly given a team as good as this Liverpool," Murphy wrote for the Daily Mail.
"We all know Jurgen Klopp's men have great resilience and character besides their obvious quality. They have jumped over nearly every hurdle in the past couple of seasons and bounced back from losing European finals, let alone one league game at Villa Park.
"If I was in the blue dressing-room, I would say beware the wounded animal, particularly as Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara should be all right to return."
