It was a fairly comfortable victory for Liverpool over Burnley in the previous match. A 3-1 victory saw four excellent headers hit the back of the net.
The Clarets did not make it easy though, missing a total of four big chances. Kelleher made two important one-on-one saves, whilst David Datro Fofana missed a third entirely.
