Liverpool form and stats

The season before, Liverpool's league stats were 20 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, leading to 3rd place in the Premier League. Over these 38 matches they scored 68 goals and gave away 42. Performing at their own stadium in the previous season Liverpool managed 10-3-6 (win-draw-lost) with 29 goals and 20 conceded.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Alisson Ramses Becker not having conceded a league goal in 345 minutes.

It's back home for Liverpool, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Norwich City away with the result 3-0. Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota found the net in that victory. Mohamed Salah, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 9.15 (out of 10). Salah scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Crystal Palace in a game that was won 2-0.

Burnley form and stats

Let's have a look at how Burnley performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 9 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 33 and conceded 55 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 3 and lost 10 with 19/28 goals scored/conceded.

Home advantage was not enough for Burnley in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Brighton & Hove Albion, 1-2. James Tarkowski, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.02. Tarkowski scored one goal and won 10 of 15 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sheffield United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Burnley's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won zero of these as expected, zero of them by at least two goals. Burnley managed one draw and zero surprise wins.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Carabao Cup trip to Newcastle United.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Liverpool six wins, two draws and Burnley two victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
