Burnley vs Liverpool – Preview, and Prediction
Burnley vs Liverpool – Liverpool go to Turf Moor for Matchday No. 19 against Burnley, three days after the derby with Arsenal.
Nine days ago, Liverpool lost a frustrating goalless draw to Manchester United at Anfield. That result lowered them to second in the Premier League.
Despite resting Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jurgen Klopp’s team defeated West Ham 5-1 in the Carabao Cup quarterfinal on Wednesday.
Liverpool are heavy favorites against Burnley on Boxing Day and should not lose to a relegation contender. Burnley struggles to repeat their Championship form and attacking style in the Premier League.
After 18 rounds of the competition, only Sheffield United have a poorer defensive record than Vincent Kompany’s team, which has lost eight of nine home games.
Three months after defeating Sheffield United 5-0 at home at the start of December, Clarets have lost nine and drawn one of their past ten matches across competitions.
They were ineffective in their most recent match, which was a home loss to Everton by a score of 0-2 after ten days had passed since their last contest.
