Burnley vs Liverpool Preview and Prediction: A Nightmare for the Home Team

Latest team news for Burnley vs Liverpool

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Alexander Isak in a record-breaking English transfer deal, due on September 1, 2025.

All eyes will be on Liverpool's starting lineup at 12:45 pm on Sunday to see if Isak will start. However, he is more likely to start on the bench, having only played 18 minutes of regular time this season for Sweden in their away match against Kosovo on Monday.

The good form of Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo makes it difficult for Slot to drop anyone to make way for Isak. Gakpo also scored for the Netherlands against Lithuania last week, continuing his impressive run of form.

Regarding injuries, Ibrahima Konaté is fit after playing for France during the international break. However, Jeremie Frimpong is still recovering from a hamstring injury, and Curtis Jones is also absent.

For Burnley, Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts could soon return from knee injuries, but this match still seems too soon for them.

Zeki Amdouni is sidelined for an extended period due to a serious knee injury. However, Hjalmar Ekdal has recovered from a minor collision sustained while on duty with the Swedish national team.

Florentino Luis – the new signing on loan from Benfica – could make his debut in this match.

Latest football match prediction: Burnley vs Liverpool

August was a truly sweet month for the reigning Premier League champions, with Liverpool winning all three of their matches, including a crucial victory against title rivals Arsenal.

Liverpool are now aiming to win all four of their opening matches for the third time in the Premier League era, following their 2018-19 season (finishing second with 97 points) and 2019-20 season (winning the title). If they achieve this, it would also be the third consecutive season that the champions have started with four wins, after Manchester City did so in the two previous seasons. The league's history has never seen anything like this before.

Slot's team was considered the clear favorite, not only because their opponent was weaker, but also because Liverpool had just strengthened their already formidable attack with a record-breaking £125 million signing of Alexander Isak on the final day of the transfer window.

Liverpool have scored in 37 consecutive Premier League games – the best run in the club's history – and after spending nearly half a billion pounds this summer, it's difficult for any defense to stop them at the moment.

In theory, this is Liverpool's easiest game of the week, before facing Atletico Madrid and rivals Everton at Anfield in seven days' time. Slot expects his players to be able to replicate the performance that destroyed Scott Parker's team 9-0 in 2022.

The head-to-head history also favors Liverpool: they have won eight of their last nine away games at Turf Moor, including the last six. Burnley risk becoming the fourth team in history to lose to Liverpool seven consecutive times at home.

In the Premier League era, Burnley have struggled against Liverpool, suffering 14 defeats in 18 encounters.

When facing the league champions, Burnley have also lost 10 of their last 11 encounters, conceding a staggering 30 goals. Their only victory was against Sean Dyche's Liverpool in 2021 at Anfield.

It's difficult to accurately assess Burnley's strength after three rounds of matches. They've had away games against Tottenham and Man United – both hard-fought defeats – but they did beat Sunderland (a newly promoted team like themselves) in their only home game.

Last season, Burnley were renowned for their solid defense in the Championship, conceding only 16 goals in 46 matches. But in this year's Premier League, they have already conceded six goals in just three games. If they concede two more goals in this match, Burnley will become only the second team in English football history to concede at least half of their entire season's goals in the first four games of the following season.

Burnley are currently on a 25-match unbeaten home run in the domestic league, but this challenge is extremely difficult, because after Liverpool, their next three opponents are also all in the top 7 from last season: Nottingham Forest, Man City and Aston Villa.
