After continuing its unbeaten run in the FA Cup on Monday, Liverpool returns to Premier League action today against Burnley.
The Reds currently sit fourth in the Premier League table and will be keeping an eye on results elsewhere, with several top-four rivals in action across Saturday
A run of three straight draws has prevented Liverpool from extending its gap to the chasing pack, but it is heavy favorite to beat a Burnley side that is locked in the grips of a relegation scrap.
In truth, after a run of no wins in 12 league matches, the chances of the Clarets avoiding the drop are looking increasingly slim. However, Scott Parker’s side has drawn three of the last five and kept Liverpool at bay for over 90 minutes in the corresponding fixture at Turf Moor.
The Burnley boss will also hope Saturday’s game goes a little better than his last trip to Anfield, when he was beaten 9-0 as Bournemouth boss in 2022.
