Liverpool missed the chance to move to the top of the Premier League table for Christmas 2023 with their 1-1 draw at Anfield against Arsenal on Saturday evening. Three points in that match would have sent them top, but despite having home advantage, they weren’t able to seal a victory. That draw does, though, mean that Liverpool go into this clash with Burnley on an 11-game unbeaten run in the Premier League (W6 D5) – currently the longest in the competition.
They will be keen to get back to winning ways, however, after back-to-back draws with Manchester United (0-0) and Arsenal (1-1) at Anfield. Their last two away games in the Premier League have seen them beat Sheffield United 2-0 and Crystal Palace 2-1, the latter coming thanks to an added-time winner from Harvey Elliott. They’ve only lost one of their last 29 Premier League games, but that was away from home, in Spurs’ 2-1 victory on 30 September 2023 – a game that they only went behind in in added time after going down to nine men.
Burnley enjoyed a win on Saturday at Fulham, running out 2-0 victors thanks to goals from Odobert and Sander Berge with their only two shots on target in the match. That ended a run of just one point gained from three league games against Wolves, Brighton and Everton.
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Trafford; Vitinho, O'Shea, Beyer, Taylor; Tresor, Berge, Brownhill, Odobert; Foster, Amdouni
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Gomez; Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
