Liverpool will be looking to keep up their momentum with a victory against Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp's side will be hoping they can keep up pace with Manchester City, after a late victory over Everton on Sunday kept them within touching distance of the leaders.

The Liverpool boss is set to welcome back Jordan Henderson after his suspension against Everton on Sunday.
The midfielder was sent off in the Reds' 3-0 win over Watford and could return to the starting eleven, although Fabinho - who replaced him in the derby - has made a good case to keep his place.
Liverpool are also sweating on injuries to Sadio Mane (foot) and Andy Robertson (dead leg).
Whilst Robertson's knock is not that serious, Mane could miss the fixture after receiving stitches on a cut he received against Everton.
Klopp could opt to bring in Naby Keita in an attacking role, or shift Xherdan Shaqiri in to the front three as a response to Mane's potential absence.
Other than the duo, Liverpool have no other major injury concerns, but Klopp could opt to rotate some of his side in lieu of upcoming matches against Bournemouth, Napoli and Manchester United in the next week and a half.
Dejan Lovren, who was on the substitutes bench against the Blues, could return to the starting eleven, whilst Sunday's hero Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge are vying for start.
Meanwhile, Steven Defour is Burnley's only injury concern, with the midfielder suffering a niggling knee injury that could keep him out of the fixture.
Sean Dyche has an otherwise fully fit squad to choose from, apart from the continued absence of the recovering Stephen Ward and Nick Pope.
Likely Line-Ups
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner, Salah, Firmino, Keita.
Burnley: Hart, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Lennon, Defour, Cork, Gudmundsson, Hendrick, Vokes.
Jurgen Klopp's View

“It's a tough place. I know of the results of Burnley, but when you make the analysis it is how it is – the situation of Burnley, I think everybody knew before the season it was a big challenge for them with the Europa League qualification.
“That's actually a killer competition if you have to play the complete qualifiers through the pre-season and in the early stages of the season. Obviously Burnley's squad is not made for that, so it was clear that the start would be a bit rusty or whatever.
“Now in the league they are performance-wise 100 per cent already for a few weeks, that makes it really, again, a difficult game for us like all the others. There are no easy games coming up.”

“Last weekend wasn't good enough. We know that. But then a short number of days before against Newcastle I thought it was a good performance and I thought we deserved more than we got," he added.
“So, there's a balance to the workload and how we're performing. I know the players we are working with and I know the honesty and the endeavour and I know some of the quality.
“That sometimes gets pushed aside when results aren't going your way. The players are still working and have been good around the place. We've had disappointments before and pushed them aside quickly and we've got to do that again.”
