Richarlison's late strike at Anfield lifted the tiniest bit of gloom at Tottenham and offered hope that an unthinkable relegation could be avoided.
Key to Spurs' chances of building on their hard-earned point at the home of the champions will be the return of key faces to the starting 11.
At the time of writing, Igor Tudor has 13 important players out through injury.
So when can he expect some help from them?
The almost there group…
Micky van de Ven and Conor Gallagher will be available to face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. There's a great chance Destiny Udogie can play by this weekend when Spurs face a crunch fixture against Nottingham Forest, with Tudor stating he was "almost back" when asked last week.
So three big names could be in action by the weekend and both Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha may be in the squad by then too, with their return date slated for 22 March – the day of the fixture.
Last week Tudor explained: "I think they will be back for sure for Forest, maybe even for the Champions League. I don't know exactly."
There's a short wait on…
Tudor therefore could have five of his key figures available soon, which sounds hugely significant. The issue is the other eight names come back in April at the very earliest.
Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies and Mohammed Kudus all have a return date listed for 11 April, as per data provided by Premierinjuries.com.
This would mean they could take part in Spurs' final seven league games, starting with a trip to Sunderland on 12 April.
Will we see them again this season?
Minutes this season for Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur could prove significant and the pair are slated to be back in early May. Spurs on paper have a tough finish to the campaign, facing Aston Villa away on 2 May, Leeds at home on 9 May, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 17 May and Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 24 May. The chance to pick Kulusevski or Bentancur for two or three of these games will surely do Tottenham's survival chances no harm.
Season over…
The likes of James Maddison and Wilson Odobert will not feature again this season, while Yves Bissouma is the only player listed as having an unknown return date.
Tottenham's unlucky 13 are being sorely missed at the moment. The reappearance of several of them might just be the difference between a close escape and complete disaster.
