1st position in the Premier League table for Liverpool so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed Burnley visits Anfield.

It's no vacation for neither Liverpool nor Burnley 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.

Liverpool are already the Premier League winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Burnley are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Liverpool form and stats

Liverpool, who have the most clean sheets (15) in Premier League, have been very solid at home in the Premier League so far, with 51 points collected from 17 matches (17-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table.

Happy days for Liverpool in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Brighton & Hove Albion (placed 15th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Aston Villa.

The manager J. Klopp will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Arsenal in only four days.

Liverpool are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (46 goals in 17 games). Liverpool have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Burnley form and stats

As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Burnley have produced an overall stat of 6-4-7 so far. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Burnley are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Two travels in a row for Burnley, whose manager S. Dyche could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against West Ham United. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Sheffield United.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Burnley as the away team, we found three results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, one draw and two defeats. The outsiders lost two of these games by at least two goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Burnley are hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Burnley as they have only managed to score 16 times from 17 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Burnley have conceded 26 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Burnley - Liverpool 0-3. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: eight - one - one (Liverpool wins - draws - Burnley wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
