THE LOWDOWN
BURNLEY
- Burnley showed excellent character to come from behind to pick up would could be a priceless point against Man Utd at Turf Moor in their most recent league game, but to gain anything from this contest would be even more impressive.
- Attacker Maxwel Cornet was substituted off with what looked like a knock against the Red Devils, but Sean Dyche has confirmed that he is fine and available for selection here, although both Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson remain out.
LIVERPOOL
- Liverpool are yet to wilt in the Premier League title race and their latest win against Leicester was their fifth in a row in all competitions, the Reds scoring at least twice in each of those games.
- Mo Salah came off the bench to a rapturous Anfield ovation against Leicester and the Egyptian is expected to start here at Turf Moor, whilst Africa Cup of Nations winner Sadio Mane only returned to training on Friday and is likely to be utilised from the bench.
THE TEAM NEWS
BURNLEY
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Pope; Roberts, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Cornet; Rodriguez, Weghorst

LIVERPOOL

THE PREDICTION
The presence of Mo Salah in the starting line-up is one that will send shivers down the spine of Burnley fans. However, they can take heart from their side’s performance against Man Utd in midweek and Liverpool are set for an uncomfortable test here as Burnley ramp up the physicality and look to target the forward pairing of Jay Rodriguez and new signing Wout Weghorst at every opportunity. Despite that, Liverpool have far more often than not managed to find a way past the Clarets, winning six of the last eight encounters between the two teams including all four at Turf Moor. This encounter is expected to go the same way when considering the form and offensive potency of Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, so back an away win here.
Tip: LIVERPOOL TO WIN
