The Reds smashed struggling Pompey in the Premier League to stay in touch with the teams chasing fourth spot, which gave a place in UEFA Champions League.
Three goals in six minutes at the first half almost ended the game as a contest, with Fernando Torres scored home the opener after Jamie Ashdown's mistake.
Monday night football has infrequently suited Liverpool as they had not opened the week with a victory in their last nine attempts but they were rarely threatened by the Premier League's basement boys.
Torres scored his second in the 32 minute of the second half as Liverpool peppered Jamie Ashdown's goal before Nadir Belhadj bagged a late consolation Pompey barely deserved.
The success placed The Reds into fifth on 51 points from 30 games, a point behind Tottenham, who have played a game less than Liverpool.
Man City dropped sixth on 50 points having played two games less than Liverpool, with Aston Villa on 46 points and 3 games in the hand.
