Heading home from Italy with their tails tucked between their legs, Liverpool travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham in Sunday's Premier League fixture.
The Reds beat Atalanta BC 1-0 in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday, but their narrow triumph was not enough owing to La Dea's 3-0 success in the opening fixture, thus bringing Jurgen Klopp's final continental adventure with the club to an end.
Prior to their inconsequential victory in Bergamo, Liverpool lost by the same scoreline against Crystal Palace in the top flight to fall two points behind Manchester City, while they remain below Arsenal on goal difference too.
