Ace Football previews the Premier League game between Burnley and Liverpool and offers betting tips, odds, line-ups, and team news.
Liverpool have a must win game on their hands when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday night. After Chelsea handed them a favor by defeating Leicester City, the Reds have a chance to climb back into the top four.
A win for Liverpool would see them move above the Foxes on goal difference, ahead of the final fixture on Sunday. Burnley have not been at their best of late and that plays well into the hands of Klopp and company.
Revenge is also on the cards for Liverpool as they take on a side that beat them 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Anfield back in January. Given all at stake for this game, the Reds are favorites to win and we expect them to get the job done.
Burnley Form and Stats
Burnley are ending the season in a mixed run of form having traded two wins with two losses over the past four games.
Sean Dyche’s side were thumped 4-0 at home by Leeds on Saturday on an afternoon to forget.

Liverpool Form and Stats
An injury-time headed goal from goalkeeper Alisson kept Liverpool in the hunt for a top four finish as he grabbed the winner in a 2-1 win at West Brom on Sunday.
The Reds looked set for a frustrating draw at The Hawthorns after Mo Salah had cancelled out Hal Robson-Kanu’s opener for the Baggies.
But five minutes into added time, Alisson powered home a header from a corner to be Liverpool’s unlikely hero.
