Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield last weekend
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW THIS ADVERT

Burnley have been doing much better away from home in recent weeks but the result haven't quite gone their way. They were very unlucky the other day when they lost 3-2 to a late goal at Swansea. However, I have to back Liverpool. They put in a much improved display against Arsenal last weekend and Jurgen Klopp will want his side to build on that.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (10/1 with Sky Bet)

Lawro has gone for home win.

Liverpool v Burnley (Premier League, 16:00 GMT)

I am at Anfield on Sunday for Match of the Day 2 and in many ways - especially in relation to the rest of the season - this is Liverpool's biggest game for a long time.

Forget about the Reds' wins over Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City at home in the past few weeks because we know what Burnley are all about - they showed that in their win over Liverpool at Turf Moor in August.

Liverpool had 81% of possession when they played Burnley in August, but still lost. The heat map representing touches for Burnley (l) and Liverpool (r) helps to illustrate the Reds' dominance in possession - they played 852 passes to Burnley's 207 - but they could not turn that into meaningful chances, let alone goals. Jurgen Klopp's side had 26 shots, but most of them were from distance.
The Clarets have only picked up two points away from home all season but they are still very difficult to break down and we know that Liverpool really struggle against teams like that.

So I am looking at this game and thinking what will Liverpool do to change that.

I think the Reds will win and I am certainly not expecting a repeat of their performance against Leicester when they got everything wrong.

But whether that happens depends on Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino finding some consistency - because they have not been at their best recently. While Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana have been great, those other two have been a little bit iffy.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

CFC Fan TV's prediction: 1-1

Stephen: Liverpool have been massively inconsistent in 2017. They can look good but sometimes they look awful - and being a United fan, I can't predict a Liverpool win.

Full Time Devils' prediction: 1-1
