The reverse fixture at Turf Moor on Boxing Day ended in a 2-0 win for Liverpool thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota.
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
- Draw: 13/2
- Burnley: 18/1
