Burnley vs Liverpool Preview

Burnley’s return to the Premier League has been unkind in terms of fixtures, with three of their opening four matches coming against traditional members of the so-called ‘Big Six.’ That run continues here as they welcome reigning champions Liverpool to Turf Moor. Scott Parker’s side have taken three points from their opening three games (W1, L2), which, given the calibre of opposition they have faced, is not the worst possible return.

Before the international break, Burnley pushed Manchester United all the way in a 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford. Parker admitted his frustration that the Clarets came away empty-handed, believing his side did enough to earn at least a point. Still, they did show signs of progress, particularly in their attacking play, and the manager will be hopeful of causing an upset back on home soil. Turf Moor has been something of a fortress in recent months, with Burnley unbeaten in competitive action there since May 2024 (W16, D9). Their most recent league fixture at home – a 2-0 victory over Sunderland – provided a reminder of how effective they can be with the crowd behind them.

Liverpool have begun their title defence in ruthless fashion, winning all three of their league fixtures so far. They edged past Bournemouth 4-2 on opening weekend before seeing off Newcastle 3-2 in dramatic fashion. Another 1-0 win followed against Arsenal, making them the only side with a 100% record at this stage. Off the pitch, the biggest story has been the arrival of Alexander Isak for a British-record £125 million fee on deadline day. The deal was a long-running saga that finally came to a close just before the international break, and now manager Arne Slot can fully focus on continuing the Reds’ strong start.

Liverpool’s squad is stacked with attacking talent, and the mood around Anfield is buoyant. This match provides them with the opportunity to make it four league wins from four to begin a campaign for just the third time in their history. They will also be mindful of recent history against Scott Parker sides: their 9-0 demolition of Bournemouth in 2022, when Parker was in charge, remains one of the most emphatic wins in Premier League history.

Kafa Kafaya Geçmiş

Burnley and Liverpool have clashed 18 times in the Premier League era, with the Clarets managing just two victories (W2, D2, L14). Liverpool have dominated the fixture, particularly at Turf Moor, where they have won on each of their last six visits. Burnley’s last home victory against the Reds came back in August 2016, a 2-0 win in which they scored from their only two shots on target.

Since then, it has been one-way traffic, with Liverpool regularly finding a way to break down Burnley’s defensive structure. The sheer disparity in quality between the two squads is reflected in this lopsided head-to-head record, and Parker will need his side to produce something special if they are to rewrite the narrative here.

Sıcak İstatistikler ve Seriler

• Burnley have lost ten of their last 11 Premier League matches against reigning champions.
• Eight of the ten goals in Burnley’s league games this season have come after half-time.
• Liverpool’s three league games so far have seen a league-high total of ten second-half goals.
• The Reds have scored in 37 consecutive Premier League matches, the longest such streak in their history.

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players

Burnley'nin Lyle Foster for inspiration. The South African forward tends to be involved in high-scoring games when he finds the net, with his six Premier League scoring appearances averaging nearly five goals per match.

His ability to trouble Liverpool’s backline could prove crucial, especially if Burnley are to exploit moments in transition.

For Liverpool, Mohamed Salah continues to be their talisman. The Egyptian forward scored in five of his six Premier League appearances against newly-promoted clubs last season, netting seven goals in total across those games.

Notably, six of those strikes came after half-time, underlining his knack for deciding matches as legs tire and spaces open up.

In terms of team news, Burnley remain without Zeki Amdouni and Jordan Beyer due to injury. Liverpool will once again be missing Jeremie Frimpong, while Alexander Isak, their new record signing, may only feature from the bench as he builds match fitness.

Bahis Analizi

Given Liverpool’s dominance in this fixture and their flying start to the campaign, they are heavy favourites. Burnley’s unbeaten home record stretching back to last season is impressive, but the step up in class they face here is stark. Liverpool’s ability to turn tight contests into comfortable wins, combined with Burnley’s habit of conceding after the break, points towards another strong performance from the champions.

The -1 handicap market looks a sensible option for punters, with Liverpool often pulling away in the latter stages of matches. Backing the Reds to win by two clear goals or more offers good value, while those expecting a cagey first half might also consider Liverpool to score the majority of their goals after half-time.

Tahmin

Burnley will battle hard and may frustrate Liverpool for long periods, but the visitors’ attacking quality and relentless form should ultimately shine through. Expect Salah and company to break down the Clarets and continue their perfect start.

Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Liverpool
