The win over Arsenal was a huge confidence boost and a good response to the defeat to Leicester.

They're going to be one of our rivals for a place in the top four so it was an important win.

It gives everyone renewed confidence and the belief will hopefully grow that we can respond and we are very much in the race for the top four.

There will be a real battle between now and the end of the season. I'm hoping that Manchester United might be distracted by their Europa League commitments while Arsenal have the unrest seemingly caused by the Arsene Wenger situation and whether he'll stay on.

At Liverpool we can focus solely on achieving our objective this season which is a top four place and a return to the Champions League.

We haven't been in the Champions League enough in recent seasons – I looked and it's just once in seven years now and we need to improve that.

This year there's optimism that we can do the job and the win over Arsenal will give everyone a huge lift.

I thought we won the battle on the evening against Arsenal. In the first 30 minutes we were excellent and we stopped them with their direct threat which is Olivier Giroud.

However, for me the stand-out player was Adam Lallana. He didn't get a goal or assist but he was involved in everything good that happened, including all three goals in one way or another with his movement.

He set the tone with his work-rate and was aggressive with his pressure and at Anfield you want the supporters onside and Lallana did that more than anybody and enabled us to get the momentum and keep the pressure on Arsenal by winning the ball back in good areas.

A need to keep it clean for Clarets test

I look at Burnley in 12th in the table and they're not safe yet. They've had a very good season for them up to this point but we've seen before with newly-promoted teams if things start to go wrong, they can unravel very quickly.

Their concern will be to get themselves safe as soon as possible.

I'm impressed with Sean Dyche, I like him and one of his strengths is getting his sides to be difficult to beat.

They're a very resilient side who always stay in games and remain a threat.

Burnley have scored in their last 11 Premier League matches so while they've not been prolific, they have a goal in their locker.

Liverpool have been brilliant going forward this season, creating chances, but we need to be on our game defensively, which is an area I feel we need to improve on given that we've had four clean sheets in 13 games at Anfield.

It could potentially be a frustrating afternoon but if you keep focused on what you're good at then you can break down the opposition with that patience.

I think it's a big issue for players mentally because if you become frustrated then they start making decisions that don't come as naturally and you try to force things a little more than you normally would do to try and break a side down.

Whereas Burnley have done that to sides at home, away they've been the poorest side in the Premier League and have struggled, picking up just two points.

Their confidence will be jaded by that and the prospect of coming to Anfield to face a Liverpool side who have just beaten Arsenal and Tottenham will be a daunting one and hopefully we can act on that.
