Jurgen Klopp's side go to the Italian capital on Wednesday with a 5-2 advantage from the primary leg and do as such the back of a Premier League coordinate they controlled for long stretches without over-striving looking for a champ.
The outcome left Liverpool with a sound pad over fifth-put Chelsea and needing a greatest of four focuses from their two residual matches to ensure capability for Champions League.
Assignment debilitated Stoke stay in the drop zone with just two amusements left to abstain from slipping into the Championship.
Klopp's program notes included a message he has expressed with consistency as of late; that Liverpool's emphasis on a main four complete in the Premier League ought not be ignored in spite of their advance in European rivalry.
The Reds chief rolled out five improvements from the side which beat Roma, with Sadio Mane the most striking non-attendant from the beginning line-up with a thigh issue.
In any case, regardless of Klopp's words, it was relatively unavoidable the power of that exciting triumph over the Italian side would not be imitated against Stoke.
The Potters have never won a best flight coordinate at Anfield – the longest winless away keep running in top-flight history – with their last group triumph in Division Two out of 1959.
There was never any risk of that measurement being adjusted as Liverpool overwhelmed, yet just sporadically tried going to goalkeeper Jack Butland.
This was likewise a diversion where Mohamed Salah persisted, by his incredibly elevated requirements, an uncommon off day.
To be sure it was the first run through since Liverpool's match against Swansea on December 26 a year ago that Salah has not discovered the net in the Premier League on home turf.
The Egypt global had a brilliant chance to score his 32nd group objective of the season in the fifth moment.
Salah was sent clear and when he cut the ball over Jack Butland the Liverpool supporters were celebrating, just for incredulity to first light when the shot did not hit the objective.
Feed's assaulting aspiration was temporary and to a great extent revolved around looking to hit Liverpool on the counter assault.
An agreeable header from Mame Diouf, which hit the side netting, was the best the guests could summon in a first half in which Liverpool cornered the obvious openings.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, who began in midfield, stalled out under his feet after he had traded goes with Salah yet was not able create adequate energy to inconvenience Butland.
Georginio Wijnaldum hit the side netting from separate, Salah twisted a free-kick simply wide, while Danny Ings volleyed in from a tight point just for the right hand ref to hail him offside.
There was a quiet around Anfield just before halftime when skipper Jordan Henderson lay on the turf gripping his Achilles, however after treatment the midfielder could proceed.
Assaulting the Kop End in the second a large portion of, Liverpool's beat expanded despite the fact that it neglected to convert into clear goalscoring possibilities.
Liverpool's players vociferously bid for a punishment three minutes from time when the ball struck the arm of Erik Pieters inside the crate from Wijnaldum's cross yet ref Andre Marriner waved them away.
Stir at that point went close at the passing when Diouf's low cross flashed over the region with no one ready to apply the conclusive touch, yet Paul Lambert will have been more than happy with a point.
