The Clarets have endured an inconsistent run of form of late and have won three and lost five of their last eight matches following a 4-0 defeat to Leeds United at the very same venue this past weekend. 
 
For Liverpool it will be difficult to top the highs of Sunday's 2-1 win at West Bromwich Albion which moved them a point off Chelsea and fourth place. 
 
Reds goalkeeper Alisson Becker scored a dramatic 95th minute winner to extend Liverpool's unbeaten run to eight matches and fuel their hopes of securing Uefa Champions League football for next season. 
 
Reflecting on that astonishing moment, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "Unbelievable. I've never seen something like that. Insane technique!

"Nowadays you can't be sure, really. 'Is something wrong? It cannot be?' So I turned around to ask, 'Am I right, did he score?' And you saw the faces of the boys. It means a lot to us, obviously.

"We are still in the race. But Wednesday will be the same fight," he added.
