The Anfield side face the risk of creating an unforgettable milestone in the Premier League era by failing to win all three of their home games against newly promoted teams in the same season for the first time, after being held to draws by Leeds United and Sunderland.
Nevertheless, the 0-0 draw against Arsenal in the last round was very positive, creating good momentum for Liverpool in the next matches.
On the league table, Liverpool are currently two points ahead of Brentford in the race for fourth place, the final spot that guarantees a Champions League spot next season. However, Newcastle and Manchester United are also closing in and striving to accumulate points, meaning Arne Slot's team cannot afford to be complacent.
Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Barnsley in the FA Cup third round earlier this week helped them rediscover the joy of winning, extending their unbeaten run to 11 matches across all competitions.
Mohamed Salah's upcoming return after AFCON 2025 is expected to improve Liverpool's attacking prowess. This season, the Reds have averaged only 14.7 shots per game in the Premier League, their lowest figure since the 2001/02 season.

Conversely, Burnley enter this challenging away trip in alarming form. Scott Parker's side have gone 12 consecutive Premier League matches without a win, including nine defeats and three draws, since their dramatic 3-2 victory over Wolves in October.
Sitting 19th in the table, Burnley are eight points behind safety and have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home in the 2025/26 season. History is also against Burnley, as they have lost to Liverpool in their last six Premier League encounters, including a 0-1 defeat in September.
With home advantage and a superior squad, Liverpool are clearly the favorites. However, under pressure to secure points and with their form not yet truly explosive, manager Sloth's team will need a convincing performance to avoid another disappointing slip-up at Anfield.
