Liverpool are currently second in the table, while Burnley are second from bottom. Jurgen Klopp's team desperately need three points to compete for the top spot with Arsenal.
Burnley vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool are soaring high thanks to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian player is the team's top scorer (12 goals) and also leads the assists list (7). In the Premier League alone, Salah has directly contributed to 14 of Liverpool's goals.
Salah is in excellent form with Liverpool.
Other positions in the Liverpool squad are also showing stability and cohesion. Trent Alexander-Arnold is also in good form and plays a crucial role. However, the problem for the Anfield side in recent matches has been their inability to capitalize on opportunities. This is the reason why Liverpool haven't won in their last two league games.
They drew with Man Utd and Arsenal, missing the chance to take the top spot. Facing a weaker opponent like Burnley is a good opportunity for Jurgen Klopp's team to get 3 points, thereby putting pressure on their rivals Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Burnley are a strong candidate for relegation this season. Vincent Kompany's side excelled in the Championship last season, but clearly, compared to the standard of the Premier League, they haven't met expectations.
Burnley vs Liverpool form
Liverpool haven't won their last two matches, but their opponents were both big teams. Jurgen Klopp's team haven't suffered a defeat since September 30th (6 wins, 5 draws).
Meanwhile, Burnley have won 2 of their last 5 matches. They are currently second to last and it will be very difficult for them to get points against Liverpool. Burnley have lost all 3 of their most recent matches against this opponent and failed to score a single goal. This season, Burnley have lost 8 home games and only managed one win against bottom-placed Sheffield United.
