BEN Mee has called on Burnley to match the performance that earned them a win over Liverpool at Turf Moor back in August when they travel to Anfield on Sunday.

The Clarets got their season up and running in the second week of the campaign when goals from Sam Vokes and Andre Gray earned them a 2-0 win over Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Burnley have won eight times at Turf Moor since to carry them to 12th in the Premier League with a nine-point gap to the bottom three. But Mee knows the Clarets can’t continue to rely on their home form as the season nears its conclusion.

A trip to Anfield is the latest chance to end the 15-game wait for an away win this season in league and cup, and a repeat of the display which stifled the Reds six-and-a-half months ago could help them to a first league double over Liverpool in 87 years.

“We need to repeat that performance at the weekend and see how it goes,” Mee said of that win over the Reds in August.

“That was obviously a big performance from us, we’ve done well at home, but we need to start performing well again away from home.”

Although they are still waiting for an away three points Burnley appeared to have turned a corner on the road with improved performances in narrow defeats to Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal and Watford, before a draw at Hull City.

But that momentum came to a halt at the Liberty Stadium last weekend in a 3-2 defeat to Swansea City.

And although Fernando Llorente’s winner came in injury-time it was a below-par display from the Clarets, and Mee is hoping for a reaction at Anfield.

“We’ll go there with the same frame of mind that we do every game and look to put in a performance and get a reaction,” the 27-year-old said.

Burnley still have plenty in hand on the bottom three and after Sunday’s trip to Merseyside they will have only one of a run of four successive away games to go, which comes at Sunderland a week tomorrow.

Mee added: “We don’t rely on our home form, we try to perform away from home.

“It didn’t happen on Saturday, even though we’ve performed well in recent weeks against some big teams.

“It’s not as if we’re not performing well in most weeks - obviously Saturday wasn’t a great day for us - but we don’t rely on our home form because we want to win at home and away.

“We want to be winning games, getting points and pulling away as much as we can.”
