A quick look at the Premier League table suggests advantage Liverpool when they travel to Burnley. But; let's play before the points are handed out!

Insights:
  • Liverpool is in the best form (4-2-0)

It's no vacation for neither Burnley nor Liverpool as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Burnley can neither be promoted or relegated from Premier League. Liverpool are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Burnley form and stats

Burnley's struggle is real here at Turf Moor with only 18 points collected from 18 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-6-8. Burnley are slowly digging their own grave here at Turf Moor with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Aston Villa match.

Burnley's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus Leeds United (placed 10th). Midfielder Ashley Westwood was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.05 (out of ten) in that game. Westwood hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 58 successful passes (of 68 total). Burnley were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Before that match, a win away at Fulham.

No one expects the home team to get anything from this game. It's not often a home team are such massive outsiders as in this game. We've searched our database for matches where Burnley had similar winning odds as today, and found four games. In these, the hosts won zero, drew zero and lost four. Betting people looking at handicaps might be interested to know that Burnley lost three similar games by at least two goals.

The manager S. Dyche will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sheffield United in only four days.

Burnley have scored 14 league goals here from 18 matches, not a lot. Burnley's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 24 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Liverpool form and stats

The visitors are W9-D6-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Liverpool has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Liverpool play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting West Bromwich Albion (placed 19th). Midfielder Thiago Alcântara was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.31. Alcântara hit five key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 96 successful passes (of 106 total). Late drama in the previous game, when Alisson scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time to defeat West Bromwich Albion.

Before that one, a nice away victory 4-2 at Manchester United.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Liverpool given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed five matches with four wins as expected, one draw and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won three of these games by at least two goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Liverpool are hosting Crystal Palace in the Premier League only four days away.

The Liverpool manager J. Klopp has got the team scoring on the road, with 36 away goals in 18 league matches. Liverpool have conceded 22 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Liverpool - Burnley 0-1. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Burnley victories, two draws and six Liverpool wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
