The Reds have a real chance to play. Second in the Premier League at the dawn of the 19th day, Liverpool can take sole control in the event of a victory at Burnley on Tuesday. Ibrahima Konaté’s teammates are, in fact, one point behind leader Arsenal, but the Gunners only play two days later, against West Ham. They thus have the opportunity to put pressure on Arsenal, with whom they shared the points on the last day (1-1).
The task does not seem insurmountable for Burnley, 19th in the Premier League with 11 points. But Vincent Kompany’s players, promoted to the elite, have finally found their rhythm and won twice in December (against Sheffield and at Fulham), while they had only one victory until then. They will still have to confirm against an opponent of better caliber, who will try to exploit the spaces in the opposing defense, since Burnley have already conceded 36 goals (second worst defense in the championship).
The match between Burnley and Liverpool for the 18th day of the Premier League is scheduled for Tuesday, December 26 at 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcast live on Canal + Foot.
