Jurgen Klopp’s side to secure the points and keep the deficit between themselves and the reigning Premier League champions to nine points.While the Brazilian midfielder was the one with the goalscoring touch, it was the heroics of Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal who really ensured the points went home with the Merseysiders.The Brazilian made four crucial saves in the first half from Jay Rodriguez and Burnley summer signing Wout Weghorst.However, Sean Dyche’s side were the ones who were left to rue their missed opportunities – Daily Star Sport takes a look at four things Klopp got right against BurnleyFor the first time since their 2-2 home draw against Brighton and Hove Albion in October, Klopp deployed the terrifying trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino all together in the same frontline.This was the most surprising decision the German made, considering Diogo Jota’s impressive form in the absence of Salah and Mane.Jota has operated in the ‘hole’ beautifully, and even scored an impressive brace in the Reds’ 2-0 home victory against Leicester City. However, Burnley’s assertive and aggressive defending style called for the subtlety and unpredictability of Firmino, rather than the agility and speed of Jota.And the Brazilian was a strong focal point at the spearhead of Liverpool’s attack, finding space in-between the Clarets’ midfield and defence, and providing Salah and Mane with a perfect back board.Like Mane and Salah, Firmino’s contract is also set to expire in the summer of 2023 - Liverpool supporters will surely hope the club pens him to a new deal.
