It is not just on the pitch that Liverpool are starting to get things right. A spate of injuries two years ago prompted a complete overhaul off it also.
Three "soft tissue" injuries suffered during the 2-2 draw against Birmingham City in November 2009 took the number of players who were ruled out to a staggering 15 and led to a summit meeting between the then manager, Rafael Benitez, and the then managing director, Christian Purslow.
"Liverpool saw there was an issue, didn't necessarily understand why, but saw that something needed to change," said Michael Davison, an expert in sports science, who was then part of a five-month investigation into how the club needed to overhaul their medical department.
It has led to a phenomenal amount of recruitment, led by the arrival of the Australian Dr Peter Brukner, as the head of sports science, and includes masseur Sylvan Richardson, who has worked with British Cycling and who was a guitarist with Simply Red during the 1980s.
"They now have more senior clinicians," Davison said. "So if three or four players come off the training pitch injured you can 'man-mark' them. They have more capacity to deal with injuries.
"Previously at clubs it was often part-time but now what is being recognised is that if you have a squad of 17 different nationalities and have gone around the world to recruit players then you need to do the same with those who treat them."
Liverpool have suffered a spate of injuries of late - Steven Gerrard, Daniel Agger, Martin Kelly, Glen Johnson and Fabio Aurelio have all been out - which may appear to undermine Davison's argument.
But the speed with which Jamie Carragher returned in record time from a shoulder dislocation earlier this season meant the club did not have to dip into the January transfer market to sign another defender. Record signing Andy Carroll also recovered far more quickly than expected from his thigh problem.
