With a good run on their hands, Liverpool will be keen to maintain the momentum and make their climb up the English Premier League table when they host Aston Villa.
The Reds are finally looking like a team capable of contending for a European place, with Brendan Rodgers getting his team to play the way he wants to.
Liverpool picked up an impressive come-from-behind 3-2 win over West Ham last weekend, made all the more better by the fact that it was achieved without their prime striker Luis Suarez, who was suspended.
"I've sat here on many occasions this season and talked about our performance levels and how we weren't quite getting the results our performances have deserved," Rodgers said looking back at the West Ham win.
"We were drawing a lot of games. But the concentration and focus of the players has been brilliant. Their belief is increasing all the time and last week was another watershed moment for us.
"At 2-1 with 15 minutes remaining, we could have felt sorry for ourselves, having had a hard week in terms of travel and the European game. But I saw in the players then what I see every week here, which is the ability to dig deep and show persistence and honesty.
"They eventually got the result which was great. We're making steady progress and that's important for us."
Rodgers expects a tough game from Villa, who are currently in 17th, level on points with third from bottom Wigan.
"Paul's (Lambert) an outstanding manager," Rodgers added. "We talk from time to time. We shared the experience of playing in the Championship and then coming through into the Premier League and he'll do a terrific job there.
"It's never easy in those first six months, whatever club you are going into -- especially if you are looking to make changes and establish a culture which you want to put in place.
"I think you see now he is starting to give young players the opportunity in his team and what he'll get from them is that energy and commitment. They've changed their formation in the last few weeks and that has made them that wee bit more solid.
"One thing is for sure -- we know it will be a tough game for us and the longer Paul is there, the more he'll be able to implement his ideas and his way of working. You'll see Aston Villa grow over the next couple of seasons."
Jose Enrique is a major doubt for Liverpool but Luis Suarez returns to the squad after his one-match suspension.
For Villa, Darren Bent is ruled out, while Joe Bennett and Enda Stevens are available.
