Liverpool Vs Burnley Prediction

Liverpool take on Burnley on a weekend where none of the other top 6 teams are playing. Liverpool’s season has been a rollercoaster so far where they have comfortably been the best of the top 6 mini league but have been miserable against the weaker sides. Klopp’s side have struggled against teams which sit deep and use the counter. Liverpool’s defence has not been in good form with Matip and Clyne the only defenders who have been consistent this season. Blame cannot be attached to James Milner who has done an excellent job at left back and was instrumental in Liverpool beating Arsenal last week.

Liverpool Vs Burnley Result Prediction

Jurgen Klopp will be extra careful about Burnley after Liverpool’s humiliating defeat against them earlier in the season. Burnley might be good defensively but Liverpool look like they have regained their form back. Important players like Coutinho and Lallana had impressive outings against Arsenal. More importantly, the whole team is pressing and attacking as a unit which has been missing for the past couple of months. So we expect a one sided victory for Liverpool against Burnley at anfield.

Result Prediction

Liverpool 3-0 Burnley

Liverpool Vs Burnley Formation & Tactics

Liverpool as expected will lineup in their 4-3-3 formation with Can as the deepest midfielder. Against Arsenal Klopp pushed both Lallana and Wijnaldum forward and Can was instructed to play deep. So Liverpool were at times playing with a back three with Can dropping so deep. Expect this experiment to continue. Burnley is expected to lineup in a 4-4-2 formation but will all the bodies behind the ball. Burnley will look to sit deep and frustrate Liverpool. The Scousers can expect to have all the possession but should be cautious against Burnley’ counterattack especially Gray’s pace.
