Burnley and Liverpool meet in the traditional Boxing Day fixture, in a match that looks lopsided at first glance, but in which the hosts can hope to spring another surprise after last round.
Burnley are 19th with 11 points, three behind 17th-placed Nottingham, the last place to secure Premier League survival, and come off the back of a surprise 2-0 win over Fulham to reach two wins, a draw and two defeats in the last five stages of the Premier League.

Liverpool are in second place with 39 points, one behind leaders Arsenal, with whom they drew 1-1 at home in the previous round, making it three wins and two draws in their last five matches championship (Koromorets have the best defense in the Premier League, 16 goals conceded, the same number as the Gunners).
During that time, Jurgen Klopp’s side reached the last 16 of the Europa League after winning Group E, despite losing away to Union St. Guilloise, 1-2, but also in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup (League Cup), after beating West Ham United at home, 5-1.
In the matches of the current domestic season, Liverpool has won four, drawn four and lost one, and the team’s top scorer is Mohamed Salah with 12 successes in the championship (the Egyptian entered the top ten scorers in the entire history of the Premier League – 151 goals, the leader – Alan Shearer – 260).
The two sides last met in the 2021-2022 season, with Liverpool winning both legs against Burnley, 2-0 at home in the first leg and 1-0 away in the second leg.
