Thomas Frank will be looking to get the better of Jurgen Klopp this time

In a 3-1 win over Burnley, Jurgen Klopp’s side bounced back from their defeat to Arsenal. Hota, Diaz, and Nunez scored for the Reds to claim all three points. While Liverpool are currently sitting at the top of the league, Jurgen Klopp’s side will look to keep foot on the pedal.
