After suffering three consecutive defeats back in November, Arne Slot’s side have responded strongly, and Monday night’s 4-1 FA Cup victory over Barnsley stretched their unbeaten sequence to 11 matches in all competitions.
A recent run of good form has steadied Liverpool’s season, even though the Premier League title now looks out of reach.
The Reds sit 14 points behind leaders Arsenal, but attention has shifted towards securing a top four finish and making progress in the cup competitions. Heading into Gameweek 22, Liverpool occupy fourth place and will be expected to keep that run going.
Anfield has not always been straightforward territory this season, and Liverpool will be mindful of that.
They have already been held to draws at home by Sunderland and Leeds, results that serve as reminders against taking games for granted. Even so, history is firmly on their side, with Liverpool not having failed to win three successive home league matches against newly promoted teams since January 2002.
Burnley arrive on Merseyside after an emphatic result of their own in the FA Cup. A 5-1 demolition of Millwall on Saturday provided a welcome lift, though it is league form that continues to cause serious concern for the Clarets.
They are now without a win in 12 Premier League matches, a run that has dragged them deeper into relegation trouble.
Pressure continues to mount on Burnley manager Scott Parker, with survival looking increasingly unlikely as the weeks pass. The Clarets sit eight points from safety and only six points clear of Wolves, a side that was being heavily criticised earlier in the campaign, highlighting the scale of Burnley’s decline.
Away from home, Burnley’s results have been particularly stark. They have managed just one win from 10 league matches on the road this season, a record that offers little encouragement ahead of a trip to Anfield.
Their recent history at this venue is also poor, with only one victory in their last 10 visits, alongside seven defeats and two draws.
There has at least been some attacking output on Burnley’s travels. Both teams have scored in 80 percent of their away Premier League fixtures this season, suggesting they are capable of contributing even when results do not follow.
For Liverpool, the focus now is on looking for some form in the league to back up their positive cup displays. Arne Slot will want his side to build on recent progress with another composed performance as they aim to stay inside the Champions League places.
