Licking wounds; a glance toward Sunday.

We're without JGB and Defour so let's hope Brady finds his touch again after a couple questionable performances, another Hendrick wonder goal wouldn't go amiss either!
I could see us getting something from this with a typically stubborn Burnley performance, catching them on the break and hoping our attacking outlets bring out their A game.
I will be disappointed If we don't score given Liverpool's defense has been suspect all season.
Liverpool are missing a few key players with Sturridge and Henderson both ruled out but more importantly Roberto Firmino who has been playing furthest forward in the false 9 role a slight doubt and facing a late fitness test after not training all week.
If he's out Divok Origi would likely lead the line which would be a much more favorable outcome as he's looked off the pace and out of form for a while now.
In the 3-1 win v Arsenal Firmino and Mane assisted each other's goals so hopefully removing one will dry up their overall threat a little. That said discount Mane and Coutinho's individual skills at your peril with the later having an eye for long range shots.
