Handicap Liverpool (-1) • 1.21

Burnley managed to earn a point at Anfield last season with a 1-1 draw but a repeat seems unlikely. Liverpool beat them 3-1 at Turf Moor and are unbeaten at home this season with only Man City and Leicester preventing them from picking up maximum points. Liverpool need 3 points to keep the pressure on Man City after their win over Watford yesterday and only a matter of time before they hit top gear again

Handicap Liverpool (-1.5) • 1.53

Crystal Palace unpicked Burnley last week but I am expecting the Clarets to be far more dogged at Anfield.
They have got form here - they drew this fixture last season when Liverpool were left frustrated despite having 71% of frustration and 35 shots, but I think the outcome will be different this time.
Liverpool dropped points in last weekend's Merseyside derby but Mohamed Salah had two great chances and Fabinho wasted another good opportunity.
Eight times out of 10, they would score at least one of them and go on to win the game, but instead we get to hear a load of rubbish about how Klopp got things wrong and they are blowing the title.
Well, they have got 70 points, are one point off the top and have only lost one game all season. That is where they are at - and if you had said at the start of the season that they would be in this position at the start of March, then everyone would have said 'wow'.
All that has happened recently is that they have not converted their chances. It happens, and there is not very much difference between them and City, who have won their past two games 1-0 but only thanks to a debatable penalty and a mis-hit shot. Nobody is doubting them, though.
The important thing is that the Liverpool players don't seem to be affected by the talk they are having difficulties and it reminds me of when Bill Shankly was asked a question suggesting his Reds side were having difficulties in the title race.
His reply was something along the lines of "yes, we've got loads of problems us, at the top of the league". Liverpool might have slipped behind City but I think everyone should remember how well they are doing - this is not exactly a crisis is it?
