Liverpool's position at the Premier League's summit was cut to two points after their loss against Arsenal.
The Reds succumbed to a disappointing 3-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium, having been well below their best in all departments.
Jurgen Klopp's side were lacklustre in defence, bossed in midfield and lacked a spark in the final third. While it's hardly a time to hit the panic button, with Liverpool suffering just a second loss in the league this season, they'll swiftly want to bounce back when they face Burnley on Saturday.
Despite the Clarets languishing in the relegation zone, Klopp knows that Liverpool will be in for a stern examination. He said: "Nobody here expects, in our dressing room at least, that we just will fly over Burnley or whatever. They fight for their targets, it's a really talented group, unlucky in moments and stuff like this.
"But it's a home game and we can turn things around, meaning the first step, and then we will see. Today nobody celebrates the champion and nobody is relegated as far as I know, so we have all the chance to create our own destiny. Let's see what happens."
Injuries have taken their toll on the Reds this term, with several key players spending significant periods on the sidelines. Several of their troops were unavailable to face Arsenal, including talisman Mo Salah. Ahead of the Burnley game, here's an early look at the current injury situation at Anfield.
1. Joe Gomez - illness
A flu outbreak meant that the defender, who has been in outstanding form of late, could not feature against Burnley. Gomez did report for duty on the eve of the game but was sent home as he had a temperature. That suggests he should be back for the Reds’ next match. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February.
2. Trent Alexander-Arnold - knee
The Liverpool vice-captain was forced at half-time against Burnley with a recurrence of an issue that saw him miss four matches recently. Alexander-Arnold got his studs stuck in the ground and was not risked. The right-back was not overly concerned by his problem but further assessment was required. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February
3. Mo Salah - hamstring
It is approaching four weeks since Liverpool’s talisman suffered his setback representing Egypt at the African Cup of Nations. The Reds have coped without Salah bar their loss at title rivals Arsenal. There is a chance that the winger could be back in parts of training this week, which could see him back in the squad at Brentford. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February or Luton (H), Wednesday 21 February.
4. Alisson Becker - illness
Klopp admitted that his No.1 goalkeeper could not eat or sleep ahead of the Burnley game, so Caoimhin Kelleher deputised superbly. Much will depend on how Alisson recovers from his sickness. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February
