Burnley v Liverpool: match preview | Premier League | The Guardian — theguardian.com

Liverpool need to keep on winning to have any hope of challenging Manchester City and with Diogo Jota picking up four goals in his last four in all competitions, while Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané return to the squad, they feel very well equipped to dispatch Burnley. Sean Dyche’s side, of course, are no pushovers, draws against Chelsea, West Ham, Wolves, Arsenal and Manchester United are proof of that but drab stalemates are not good enough. Now might not be the time to throw caution to the wind, and another creditable draw would be nice, but without wins Burnley will go down.
