Liverpool may find themselves in second place in the Premier League standings when they face Burnley this weekend, having lost their healthy lead last weekend. Nevertheless, they are expected to bounce back strongly against relegation-threatened Burnley at Anfield.
Premier League Preview
The Premier League title race has become more intense, with Liverpool’s lead now reduced to just two points. They suffered a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal in their last match, but it was only their second loss in 23 league games this season.
Both of Liverpool’s defeats this season have come away from home in North London, with the first one being at Tottenham. Liverpool’s defensive errors were costly last weekend, with goals scored by Arsenal as a result.
Burnley will be significant underdogs as they seek just their fourth win of the season. They are now seven points adrift of 17th placed Luton and need to start winning to avoid relegation.
Burnley have lost three of their last five league matches, but their recent performance against Fulham gives them some hope. They leveled the match with two goals from David Fofana, remaining unbeaten in their last two home games.
Liverpool vs Burnley Head to Head
Liverpool have won their last four matches against Burnley without conceding a goal, including a 2-0 victory in their previous encounter. However, Burnley won once in their last three visits to Anfield, securing a famous victory in January 2021.
Liverpool vs Burnley Prediction
Despite Burnley’s interesting record at Anfield, it is tough to support them based on their recent league performances. Therefore, we expect Liverpool to win by at least a three-goal margin on Saturday.
