Featured Game | Liverpool vs. Burnley
Why you should back Liverpool
Liverpool is favored by a large margin for a reason and has something to prove. Liverpool was fired up to avenge its 1-0 loss at Anfield from January and secured a 3-0 victory against the Clarets at Turf Moor in May.
Liverpool’s defense is a lot sturdier this season, with Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk starting a center back. The duo missed a large chunk of last season dealing with injuries but can now solidify one of the Premier League’s best back lines. Liverpool tallied 27 shots against Norwich City last weekend and put eight on target. Burnley gave up 55 goals last season, so stopping the Reds’ potent attack will be a serious challenge for the Clarets.
Why you should back Burnley
Burnley beat Liverpool earlier this year and has brought back several key pieces for the 2021-22 season. Sean Dyche is still managing the team, Nick Pope is still in goal, and James Tarkowski is still manning the Clarets’ in the middle. While Liverpool has stabilized the center back position and has many wingers, the midfield is somewhat depleted. Jordan Henderson and Thiago are mainstays in the middle but are working their way back to match fitness. Fullback Andrew Robertson is also injured.
The Clarets secured a 1-0 victory at Anfield in January and they’ll be pressing to secure a positive result on the road on Saturday. Burnley recorded 14 shots in its opening loss against Brighton and the Clarets will turn to Chris Wood to help provide some offensive explosiveness against Liverpool. Wood has been involved in nine of Burnley’s last 12 league goals, scoring six and assisting three.
