Liverpool v Burnley: Match Preview & Odds

Liverpool host Burnley on Saturday in one of the Premier League’s five 3pm kick-offs.

Form

Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League table was cut to two points at the weekend as Jurgen Klopp and his side suffered a 3-1 loss away at title rivals, Arsenal. Prior to that defeat at the Emirates, Liverpool had gone fifteen league games without loss and had scored four goals in three consecutive matches.

Burnley are already seven points from safety with just 13 points from 23 matches. The Clarets came from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at home to Fulham last weekend but they are now without a win in five league games. Saturday’s visitors have earned just two wins in eleven away league games and have the second worst defensive record (47 goals conceded) behind Sheffield United in the English top-flight this season.

Betting tips

With four successive wins against Burnley without conceding a goal, Liverpool to win to nil is a sensible bet at Evens.

Many pundits commented that Liverpool made a mistake in not playing Darwin Nunez from the start against Arsenal and the Uruguayan is likely to return to the Reds’ starting XI at Anfield. You should consider Nunez at 7/2 to score first against Burnley or you could opt for the more conservative bet and back him to score at any time at 5/6.

No team has scored more home league goals in the Premier League this season than Liverpool with 30 goals in 11 matches. Therefore, over 3.5 match goals is a wise bet at 4/5.

Match odds

  • Liverpool: 1/6
