For Arne Slot’s side, progression in the cup is immediately followed by renewed focus on the league, where an 11-game unbeaten run has kept them firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish.
With rivals expected to drop points elsewhere, Liverpool will be keen to turn recent draws into wins and further strengthen their grip on the Champions League places.
Burnley, meanwhile, used a commanding FA Cup win to briefly ease pressure on a campaign that has otherwise unravelled.
The Clarets remain stuck in the relegation zone and winless in 12 league matches, making a trip to Anfield a daunting assignment despite their confidence boost.

Liverpool to win
Liverpool’s home record against Burnley makes this price hard to ignore. The Reds have lost just once in nine Premier League home meetings with the Clarets, winning six, and have won each of the last six H2Hs overall by an aggregate score of 12-1.
Burnley’s struggles away from Turf Moor only strengthen the case, having lost eight of their ten away league matches this season and each of the five played against sides starting the round inside the top seven.
With Liverpool unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions and motivated to halt a run of league draws, backing the home win at 11/50 on Bet365 feels a bet for an accumulator.
Tip: Liverpool to win @ 11/50 (bet365)
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Liverpool beats Burnley regardless of the score.
Over 1.5 total goals
While Liverpool’s attacking numbers are slightly down compared to previous seasons, goals are still expected here.
Burnley have conceded freely on the road and are winless in 12 league games, while eight of their last nine away matches have seen both teams find the net.
Liverpool have also scored in all but two of their last 11 matches in all competitions, and six consecutive Premier League meetings with Burnley have featured at least two goals. At 4/25 on Bet365, over 1.5 goals looks a sensible inclusion given the mismatch in quality.
Tip: Over 1.5 total goals @ 4/25 (bet365)
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least two goals scored in the game between Liverpool and Burnley.
Hugo Ekitike to score or assist
Hugo Ekitike’s return to fitness could not have been better timed for Liverpool. The forward marked his comeback from a hamstring injury by scoring and providing an assist against Barnsley in the FA Cup.
His involvement in Liverpool’s attacking play should only increase against a Burnley side that has struggled to contain movement between the lines.
With Burnley conceding chances regularly and Liverpool expected to dominate possession, Ekitike’s creativity and finishing ability make the 2/5 price on Bet365 for him to score or assist particularly appealing.
Tip: Hugo Ekitike to score or assist @ 2/5 (bet365)
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Hugo Ekitike scores or assists against Burnley.
