Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson were both on fire in Liverpool’s last game at Anfield, when they hammered Watford 5-0. Alexander-Arnold had three assists, Robertson had two.

Tom Heaton has been in great form. The Burnley keep is in contention for an England call up. Heaton will have to be at his best against an excellent attack.
