Liverpool is now unbeaten in 11 games since losing at Anfield against PSV in the Champions League, with Arne Slot's men hoping to extend that run this weekend against Burnley.

Having struggled against the low block of Leeds last time out in the Premier League, it will be a test of how well the Reds can create chances. While Liverpool has looked more solid in the last month or so, that has come at the cost of not scoring so many goals, particularly against sides that sit in.

Nonetheless, Slot will expect his team to get over the line and find a way. Florian Wirtz has come into some form in the last few weeks, while Hugo Ekitike returned from injury against Barnsley and found the back of the net.

"I'll go 2-0 Liverpool," Jamie Carragher said on the Stick To Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet, when it came to predicting the result.

"You don't think they'll score more than that?" Gary Neville questioned.

"I'd be happy with two," Carragher replied, with Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott predicting 3-0 to the Reds.

Liverpool is two points ahead of fifth-placed Brentford and eight behind Aston Villa as things stand. Burnley is 19th, a point behind West Ham United and eight off 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.

"I think some of the performances still have to be better," Andy Robertson told reporters after the win over Barnsley in the FA Cup.

"Within that, obviously, you've got [moments where] you throw it away, you've got a draw against Leeds at home, a draw against Sunderland at home — games that you are probably expected to win.

"But within that as well, you've obviously got a draw at the Emirates, you've got a win at the San Siro — games that weren't easy.

"So, I think yes and no. Obviously, 11 unbeaten is good. We kind of stopped the bad form, which is always pleasing.

"But we need to still lift our levels of performance. I think everyone knows that and that's what we're working towards."

Liverpool will be without Conor Bradley for the game after he underwent surgery on the injury he sustained against Arsenal.

"It's an enormous blow for him, but as a result of that it's a big blow for us as well because I hope that you don't think I would like to play Dominik Szoboszlai as a right full-back," Slot said.

"Jeremie Frimpong has to play a lot of minutes, also comes back from an injury, has missed out on three or four months of a lot of playing time."
