Burnley vs Liverpool – Match Preview and Team News

Team News

Burnley

Scott Parker has a relatively clean bill of health. His only long-term absentee is forward Zeki Amdouni. Defenders Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts are not expected to be fit in time for this match. However, new loan signing Florentino Luis is in contention to make his debut in midfield after arriving from Benfica.

Liverpool

Arne Slot has a near full-strength squad available.Curtis Jones has been ruled out, while the clash may come too soon for defender Jeremie Frimpong despite a return to training. All eyes will be on record signing Alexander Isak, but he is expected to start on the bench as he builds match fitness following his deadline day move from Newcastle.

Form

Burnley

The Clarets have three points from their opening three games, with a win over Sunderland and two narrow defeats to Spurs and Manchester United. Their defensive record from the Championship has not yet translated to the top flight, as they have already conceded six goals.

Liverpool

The Reds have been in formidable form, winning all three of their opening fixtures. They are on their longest-ever top-flight scoring streak, having netted in 37 consecutive matches.

After a hard-fought 1-0 victory over title rivals Arsenal before the break, confidence will be extremely high as they aim to win their opening four league games for just the third time in the Premier League era.

Predicted Lineups

Burnley predicted XI: Dubravka; Walker, Ekdal, Esteve, Hartman; Ugochukwu, Cullen, Florentino; Bruun Larsen, Foster, Anthony

Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike
