Wembley stages a meeting of clubs celebrating memorable nights in this week's Champions League. Liverpool's 7-0 win at Maribor was the largest ever away win for an English team in over six decades of involvement in European competition, while Tottenham were good value for their 1-1 draw with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Harry Kane added Cristiano Ronaldo's shirt to his collection, and the Spurs striker's performance in Madrid filled the Spanish gossip pages over whether he might one day play alongside the great man.
Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane called Kane a "complete player" in the build-up.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp's previous gloom was likely lifted by the barnstorming outing in Slovenia. His team had won just one of their previous eight matches.
Brazil striker Roberto Firmino grabbed two goals, his first strikes in a month, on a night that should swell confidence. The players looked glad to have been set free from the torpor that enveloped last week's boring 0-0 draw with Manchester United.
WEMBLEY A HOODOO VENUE
Back on home soil, Liverpool have some catching up to do, with Spurs four points ahead in third place as Klopp's side languish in eighth, with both Burnley (seventh) and Watford (fourth) ahead in the table.
To start climbing upward, Liverpool will need to register victory at a place where happy memories are scarce.
They have not won a competitive match at Wembley since 2012's League Cup final.
Klopp suffered the biggest heartbreak of his career at England's national stadium when Borussia Dortmund were edged out of the 2013 Champions League final in Bayern Munich's late 2-1 victory.
Two seasons ago, in Klopp's first visit in charge of Liverpool, the League Cup was lost on penalties to Manchester City.
A tough place to visit for the Reds, though the same might have been said of Spurs until Saturday, when a 1-0 win over Bournemouth finally broke, for now, a Premier League hoodoo at Tottenham's temporary home.
ARSENAL, EVERTON LOOK TO END MALAISE
Spurs will pose a severe threat to Liverpool's hopes of building on their much-needed demolition of Maribor.
Matching Madrid showed Tottenham deserve to be ranked among Europe's heavyweights and their goalkeeper Hugo Lloris believes Mauricio Pochettino's team, unbeaten in their last 10 matches, are coming of age.
"There is a great potential in the squad and I am looking forward to seeing this development," he said.
Back in domestic action, Klopp's side have no margin for error after one win in their last five league matches.
With fragile Arsenal accused of lacking "cojones" and Everton in the midst of a malaise that threatens Ronald Koeman's job security, today's meeting of two troubled teams will serve as a referendum on their immediate futures.
Watford striker Troy Deeney's claim that sixth-placed Arsenal can't cope with a physical approach rubbed salt into the wounds of the Gunners' 2-1 defeat last weekend.
Koeman, whose team are just two points above the relegation zone, would love to get the three points for just the third time in the league this season...
