Team News

Burnley
Liverpool
  • Maxwel Cornet limped off against Manchester United in midweek and is a doubt for Burnley here. Aaron Lennon is on standby.
  • Wout Weghorst and Jay Rodriguez will continue up front after combining for Burnley's equaliser on Tuesday night.
  • Ashley Barnes made his first Premier League appearance since October in the draw and is another option for Sean Dyche.
  • Matthew Lowton may replace Connor Roberts at right-back to face Liverpool this weekend.
  • Sadio Mane is back in contention after returning from AFCON duty in midweek but will likely only make the bench.
  • Mo Salah came off the bench against Leicester on Thursday after his early return but will return to the starting line-up here.
  • Jurgen Klopp handed Luis Diaz a full Premier League debut right away in midweek so Roberto Firmino looks likely to drop out of the team here.
  • A back injury kept Jordan Henderson out in midweek but he returns here and is expected to start.
  • Thiago may not start back-to-back games in such quick succession so James Milner and Naby Keita are looking for starts here.
  • Divock Origi didn't make the matchday squad despite returning to training earlier in the week following a knee injury.

Prediction

  • Burnley rode their luck against Manchester United but battled to a 1-1 draw in midweek. They have now drawn three in a row but remain bottom of the Premier League.
  • Liverpool defeated Leicester on Thursday night but the 2-0 scoreline doesn't reflect their dominance in the game. Jurgen Klopp's side have won five in a row heading into the weekend.
  • Liverpool have made easy work of recent trips to Turf Moor with back-to-back 3-0 wins and another comfortable victory should play out here.
