Liverpool have only won once in the last four games in all competitions

Liverpool missed an opportunity to finish on top of the league before Christmas. Liverpool played a stalemate against Arsenal, in which Liverpool could’ve won. The game was evenly matched, but Liverpool played better and should’ve won. With Liverpool currently second in the points table, with a point separating them from top spot, Jurgen Klopp will be looking to show off the same lethal touch against Burnley.

Burnley are fighting to avoid relegation, but their path seems tough. At the beginning of the season, almost every pundit predicted that they would excel, but the pace and toughness of the Premier League have gotten the better of them. They’ve only won three of their 18 games so far. The season is half over and they hope to avoid relegation by making a turnaround.

For Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has come to the rescue on many occasions, and you cannot ignore him. He was also the saviour against Arsenal in the last game. Salah has scored 12 goals and also provided 7 assists. Although Salah hasn’t been supported much by his teammates, he can win on his own.

Josh Brownhill (Burnley)

Throughout the season, Burnley have struggled to cope with the Premier League’s toughness, excluding Brownhill from the squad. In addition to being a force in midfield, Brownhill has scored three goals for them as well. He is extremely good on the ball and can stitch threatening long balls.
