Premier League champions Liverpool  could set more records tumbling when they welcome Burnley to Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp's men are three wins away from setting a new points record but face a Burnley side who are still chasing European qualification for next season.

Klopp's line has not changed throughout a season in which notable records and landmarks have fallen with incredible regularity - he is not interested in breaking those records, only in winning football matches.

Whether he regards it as important or not, three more wins from their four remaining games would be enough for Liverpool's class of 2019-20 to etch their name into the history books as statistically English football's most dominant team in a single season.

Manchester City's 2017-18 centurions currently hold most of the remaining available targets - most points, most wins and biggest title-winning margin - but those would be broken with the three more wins.

Sean Dyche's side have won back-to-back Premier League games on the road without conceding for the first time since May 2015, and have only lost one of their last six such outings.

Indeed, Wednesday's 1-0 triumph over West Ham United means that they have now amassed 13 points from their last six away games - as many as they had earned from their previous 16 such outings.

European qualification is still very much on the agenda for Burnley with only two points separating them from seventh-placed Sheffield United, although there may be some fans keen to avoid that.
