Burnley face one of their toughest tests of the season this Sunday when they play host to the reigning Premier League champions, Liverpool. We're predicting another tough day at the office for our newly promoted hosts as they take on a Liverpool side that will be looking to maintain its 100% start to the campaign.
Burnley have lost two of their opening three matches since making their return to the Premier League, conceding exactly three goals in each of those defeats. In fact, three of the hosts' opening four games across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals. Liverpool have won each of their opening three league games, and their first two games, three if you include the Community Shield, have witnessed at least four goals.
The Reds have won each of their last five league meetings with Burnley, claiming a 3-1 victory when the two sides last met in 2024, and in all matches since 2017. Liverpool have claimed 10 wins from their 13 games against the Clarets and have only lost once.
With Liverpool winning their opening three league games, scoring a total of eight goals and keeping a clean sheet last time out against Arsenal, you can see why we've backed over 2.5 goals to be scored in Sunday's match against Burnley and why we're backing a correct score of 3-0 in the visitors' favour.
Burnley 0-3 Liverpool
