Liverpool winger Sadio Mane says Sunday's clash with Burnley will be decisive for their top four hopes.

The Reds' struggles against teams in the bottom half of the Premier League are well documented, with all five defeats this term coming against teams below 10th in the table.

Mane r told the club's official website: "It's another important game.

"Now we have to prove we are back on track and back in the winning way, and that we have a great team and great players. We have to give everything.

"It's one of the [most] important games of the season. If we want to be in the top four we have to win, starting Sunday, and make our special fans proud.

"Burnley are a good team. We're going to try to take it like we did against Tottenham at home and Arsenal at home. We'll do everything to win the game, because it's very important."
