Liverpool travel to Turf Moor to face newly promoted side Burnley on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
The Reds clinched a thrilling 4-3 victory against Arsenal in their opening match, and Jurgen Klopp’s side will head into this tie with full of confidence.
At Emirates last week, Liverpool played some brilliant attacking football as the Reds came from behind to seal the tie in their favour.
However, it is the fragile defence that concerns Klopp.
Liverpool will start as overwhelming favourites against Burnley who haven’t won against the Reds in any of their last four meetings.
Burnley’s return to the Premier League ended in a 1-0 defeat to Swansea last week.
The Clarets will feel they should have picked up a point at the Liberty, but a late strike from Leroy Fer made all the difference between the two sides.
