James Milner stressed the need for Liverpool to continue putting the hard yards in after returning to winning ways in the FA Cup on Friday evening.
The Reds advanced to the fourth round of the competition by beating a young Aston Villa side 4-1 to end a three-game run without victory.
Sadio Mane opened the scoring at Villa Park inside four minutes before Louie Barry restored parity with his finish close to half-time.
The visitors responded after the break, however, by netting three goals in the space of five minutes, with Mane, Georginio Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah all converting.
