"Since re-emerging from a lengthy spell on the sidelines, the former Bayer Leverkusen star has come back with a vengeance-delivering a cross that led to a goal against Spurs, registering an assist versus Wolves, and recently scoring for the first time since August with a sublime goal against Barnsley. Arne Slot will have gaps to fill on the right against Burnley, with Conor Bradley sidelined by a devastating injury suffered against Arsenal and Mohamed Salah unavailable as Egypt contests AFCON's third-place match."
"Granted, the current unbeaten run has been marked by several draws and close games, meaning the boss will likely feel he'll need to deliver a commanding home performance to prove this stretch is no fluke-especially with "Slot out" voices eager to seize on any slip-up as justification to replace the Premier League winner with the newly unemployed Xabi Alonso."
Liverpool seek a stronger display at Anfield after a narrow 1-0 win at Turf Moor via a late Mohamed Salah penalty earlier in the season. The match offers a chance to extend an unbeaten run to 12 games as Liverpool show improved form following a poor run of losses, while Burnley remain in the bottom three with relegation looming. The unbeaten stretch has included several draws and tight games, so a convincing home win is needed to prove the run is not a fluke. Jeremie Frimpong has returned from injury in excellent form and could fill right-side gaps caused by Conor Bradley's injury and Mohamed Salah's AFCON absence.
