Burnley travel to Anfield this afternoon while they seek a monumental result to ignite their battle for Premier League survival.
Scott Parker’s side has moved through a difficult winter period and currently sits 19th in the table, eight points adrift of safety. While the Clarets recently pummeled Millwall 5-1 in the FA Cup, they have not tasted a league victory since October. Facing the defending champions on their own turf represents the ultimate challenge for a squad still missing several key first-team players.
Burnley Team News
The visitors are managing a significant injury list that includes Josh Cullen, Zeki Amdouni, Connor Roberts, and Jordan Beyer. Zian Flemming and Mike Tresor are also officially ruled out of the trip to Merseyside. Scott Parker will make late checks on Lyle Foster and Joe Worrall, though the former remains a major doubt due to illness.
Notably, star striker Armando Broja is fit and expected to lead the line after being rested during the FA Cup third round. Martin Dubravka will start in goal, protected by a backline featuring Maxime Esteve and Bashir Humphreys. In midfield, Florentino—who leads the team with 84 tackles and interceptions this term—will be vital in disrupting Liverpool’s rhythm alongside Lesley Ugochukwu.
