In-form Liverpool will be confident of maintaining their pressure on the top four when they face Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday.
An eight-game unbeaten streak – six wins and two draws – has lifted Jurgen Klopp’s side to fifth in the Premier League table, just one point shy of fourth-place Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Burnley have dropped to fifteenth in the standings, having lost five of their previous seven matches.
Unfortunately for Sean Dyche’s men, they have lost all three of their last home games in the Premier League.
To make matters worse, Burnley have also managed to win just one of their previous 13 home matches in all competitions.
Following three straight losses against Southampton, Newcastle and Manchester United, Burnley picked up two wins in three games – beating Wolves and Fulham.
However, they returned to losing ways last time out – suffering a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Leeds on Saturday.
On the flip side, Liverpool secured a famous late victory over West Brom on Sunday, with goalkeeper Alisson netting the winning goal.
Mohamed Salah cancelled out Hal Robson-Kanu's opener, before Alisson headed home a 95th-minute winner from a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner.
The Reds have now won each of their previous three Premier League games and are also unbeaten in their last eight.
Klopp’s men have scored at least one goal in each of their most recent 13 away encounters in all competitions.
With just two games left to play this season, Liverpool stand a genuine chance of securing Champions League football for next term, having been written off earlier in the campaign.
Head-to-head: It is worth noting that Burnley beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield back in January, although a lot has changed since then.
Looking at the bigger picture, Liverpool have only lost one of their previous eight meetings with Burnley – picking up five wins and two draws in the process.
Team news: Kevin Long, Phil Bardsley and Robbie Brady are all unavailable for Burnley, while the fitness of Nick Pope and Dale Stephens is also questionable.
Liverpool’s lengthy list comprises ten first-team players, although James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are close to returning to action.
Given that Liverpool are currently enjoying an eight-match unbeaten streak and have the incentive of Champions League football on the horizon, an away win is likely on Wednesday.
Forebet predicts that both teams will score at Turf Moor. However, Liverpool are expected to outscore Burnley and claim all three points.
