After the controversial end to the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday night, Liverpool must regain their cool when they welcome Wolves to Anfield.
On the face of it, Arne Slot's men should win this easily. However, Wolves are fighting for their Premier League lives.
Part two of the Sunday double-header is a fascinating duel between this season's two biggest underachievers, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is probably feeling the heat more than opposite number Ruben Amorim but both managers are desperate for wins with their league campaigns in utter disarray.

Liverpool vs Wolves
When Liverpool won 2-1 at Wolves in September they were beating the Old Gold for the fourth successive meeting.
The Reds have also beaten Wolves on each of the Midlanders’ last six trips to Anfield in the Premier League.
There are 16 places and 38 points between the clubs so head-to-head form and the league table both point to a home win on Merseyside on Sunday.
But if the Reds do pull it off - as they should - do not expect a goal feast.
Liverpool will come into the game drained from Wednesday night's furious and pulsating 2-2 draw at Everton, a derby full of spite and passion which ultimately ended in Arne Slot's league leaders dropping two points.
They are still comfortably clear of the pack, however, and will be hugely confident they can get the better of a Wolves team who have themselves enjoyed the novelty of back-to-back wins over the past fortnight, impressively beating Aston Villa 2-0 and then recording a repeat scoreline at Blackburn in the FA Cup.
They haven't won three in almost a year but back-to-back clean sheets from a team who have conceded 52 goals - only Leicester and Southampton have shipped more in the Premier League - must be music to the ears of coach Vitor Pereira.
And the Merseyside derby has surely taken its toll on the Reds' players so a Liverpool win in a game featuring under 3.5 goals looks a commonsense play.

Tottenham vs Manchester United
There is a real Clash of the Flops at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon as fallen giants Spurs and Manchester United each strive to rack up a rare win.
Stuck in the bottom half of the Premier League and looking over their shoulders at the threat of relegation rather than ahead at any prospect of making the top four, this is a real crisis-affair between two horribly inconsistent clubs.
Tottenham's 2-0 win at Brentford two weeks ago snapped a seven-game winless streak in the league, but joy at that rare success quickly turned to despair with League Cup and FA Cup exits following soon after.
United, meanwhile, have won five of their last seven, but most of their joy has arrived in knockout football rather than in the league.
These are two inconsistent sides, neither of which can be trusted, and both look porous at the back.
Tottenham are getting a few of their crocks back and may have found a new striking gem in January arrival Mathys Tel, who scored in the 2-1 loss at Villa last week and, for a forward, looks a big price to find the net again.
