At risk of suffering an unwanted club first, Liverpool welcome Burnley to Anfield for Saturday afternoon's top-flight encounter.

Having already been stunted Leeds United and Sunderland on their own turf this term, the Reds could fail to win all three league home games against newly-promoted teams in a single season for the first time in the Premier League era.

Head-to-head:

• Liverpool have won 15 of the 19 Premier League meetings between the two teams.
• Burnley recorded two victories.
• The remaining two clashes ended in draws.
• Liverpool are on a five-match undefeated run.
• Burnley have won only one of their last five matches.
• The Clarets have failed to secure a win in their last six meetings against the Reds.
• Seven of their last 10 encounters produced at least two goals.

Form:

• Liverpool in the league: W-W-D-D-D
• Liverpool in all competitions: W-D-D-D-W
• Burnley in the league: D-D-L-L-D
• Burnley in all competitions: D-L-L-D-W

Team News:

• Alexander Isak, Stefan Bajcetic, Giovanni Leoni, Watarun Endo and Conor Bradley are not going to be in action for Liverpool. They are injured. Rio Ngumoha might also miss out due to fitness issues. Mohamed Salah is on international duty.
• Burnley will miss out on the services of Zeki Amdounni, Josh Cullen, Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts. They are injured. Zian Flemming, Mike Tresor and Joe Worrall might also sit out due to a lack of fitness.

Player(s) to watch:

• Hugo Ekitike has scored eight goals and has two assists to his name for Liverpool in 18 Premier League appearances of the ongoing campaign. He is in good form at the moment and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. Ekitike scored a goal and came up with an assist in the previous cup game as well.
• Jaidon Anthony is going to play a crucial part in the attacking front for Burnley FC. He is coming in after scoring a crucial equaliser against Manchester United in the previous league game. In 20 league games this season, he has scored five goals and has an assist to his name. A top performance by Anthony can surely create issues for the hosts.
