Highlights of Liverpool's 4-2 win over Burnley in the Premier League

Fulham has lost 17 league games, a league high, by a margin of two goals or more this season. The most that a team has ever lost by more than 2 goals in 38 games is 19, by Fulham in 2013-14.

Mohamed Salah of Liverpool has scored 12 goals in his last eight appearances in the Premier League against newly promoted teams (6 goals, 6 badists).

Liverpool 's Sadio Mane has scored eight goals in his last eight Premier League matches, though only one of them has left Anfield.

Charlie's prediction

A fantastic result in Munich could have a cost. Yes, you are in the draw and you deserve to be there, but it was not a good performance. Bayern was terrible, Liverpool was just a little better. Sadio Mane is the man, not Mohamed Salah or Roberto Firmino.

Highlights of Leicester's 3-1 win over Fulham in the Premier League

Virgil van Dijk and Mane are both helping them through this situation and I am not convinced by their midfield either, but I think Fulham are also gone. [with Huddersfield]. I still have some pride, but I do not know what Scott Parker can do to keep going. I'm waiting for Salah to return to the scoresheet this weekend.

This relieves the burden of pressure [City not playing in the league this weekend] because they do not seem really nervous. They are restless and frustrated, because when the first three play as well, they need someone else to help them. Jurgen Klopp was caught in the pressure by the situation but good coaches can ease the burden. I think it will be a pretty comfortable statement [by Liverpool] and it will be a statement of intent to tell Man City: "We're not going away."
