Liverpool vs Burnley Prediction & Match Preview

• Liverpool bagged four goals in three of the previous four Premier League games.
• Burnley shipped two or more goals in four of their last five league outings.
• Darwin Nunez has three goals in his last five appearances for the Reds.

Liverpool will be looking to rebound from a painful 1-3 loss at Arsenal this weekend. They play host to relegation strugglers Burnley in Matchday No 24 on Saturday afternoon at the Anfield. The Reds are huge favorites and anything but their comprehensive victory would represent a major upset.

Liverpool ended a four-win streak in the Premier League with a 1-3 loss six days ago in North London. It was one of the weakest attacking displays Jurgen Klopp’s men have produced all season. The fact the Reds registered only one shot on target speaks for itself.

Klopp’s troops should have much more space to deliver in the final third in this match. Burnley own the second-worst defensive record in the league with 47 goals conceded in 23 games. The visitors are in a very difficult situation. Clarets are winless in five successive league matches. They are seven points shy of Luton in the safe zone going into this game.

Recent Meetings

• Liverpool enter this on the back of four subsequent wins over Clarets. The run includes this season’s 2-0 victory at Turf Moor on Boxing Day.
• Liverpool have 22 wins, 12 draws, and only 6 defeats in the previous 40 home matches against Burnley.
• We saw goals at both ends only once in the previous seven head-to-head games between these counterparts.

Liverpool vs Burnley Prediction

Liverpool can ill afford a slip-up after the loss to Arsenal last weekend. They are only two points above Man City and Arsenal at the top of the Premier League standings. They bagged four goals in three of the previous four league affairs. They should have a lot of space to deliver past the leaky Burnley defense. Clarets own the second-worst defensive record in the division.

Vincent Kompany’s men have also allowed two or more goals in four of the previous five league games. This should be a one-way street from the first to the final whistle. You can back Liverpool to win by three or more goals difference at the 2.15 odds.

Jurgen Klopp can’t still count of injured Mohamed Salah. This leaves Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez as two of his deadliest attacking weapons. Darwin has three goals in his last five appearances across competitions. They only came on as a second-half sub last weekend against Arsenal due to injury concerns. The Uruguayan forward should be ready to feature from the first minute on Saturday. We like the 1.80 odds offered for Darwin to score anytime.
