Second-placed Liverpool will be desperate to get back to winning ways in thePremier League when they travel to Lancashire to face a Burnley side sitting second-from-bottom Burnley on Boxing Day.
The Reds endured frustration for the second league game in a row when they had to settle for a 1-1 draw against log leaders Arsenal, and will be aiming to get three points on Tuesday that would temporarily send them top of the tree in the Premier League.
On the other end of the spectrum, it’s been a poor season for Vincent Kompany's Clarets' as they have struggled to transition their possession-based football that annihilated the Championship last term to the Premier League.
However, they will be buoyed by their surprise 2-0 pre-Christmas win away at Fulham and another unexpected three points in this match would take them level with Nottingham Forest, who occupy the final safety spot.
