Burnley’s most recent game saw them earn their third win of the season against Fulham courtesy of second-half goals from Wilson Odobert and Sander Berge. This result has given the relegation-threatened side a well-timed lift ahead of the visit of Liverpool. 

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s most recent result was a 1-1 draw with fellow title-chasers Arsenal. It was a respectable point, but because the game was at Anfield, Liverpool would have been hoping to secure all three. Nevertheless, Liverpool are still in a hugely favorable position in the closely contested EPL title race, and a win here would further boost their title hopes. 

Here's how they line up: 

Burnley: Trafford, Vitinho, O'Shea, Beyer, Taylor, Tresor, Berge, Brownhill, Odobert, Foster, Amdouni.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Quansah, Gomez, Gravenberch, Endo, Elliott, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez.
