Premier League on Sky Sports: Burnley vs Liverpool betting preview and tips
Newly promoted Burnley welcome defending champions Liverpool to Turf Moor in what looks like one of the weekend’s more one-sided fixtures on paper, but early-season form still leaves room for questions.
Scott Parker’s side have already faced two traditional top-six opponents and now come up against arguably the most in-form team in the league.
Liverpool arrive with three wins from three, fresh off a statement victory over Arsenal and strengthened further by a record-breaking signing.
Here, Sports News Blitz looks ahead to the clash, offering betting previews and tips.
The tale so far
Burnley’s return to the Premier League has been predictably tough.
A narrow opening-day loss to Tottenham was followed by a vital home win over fellow promoted side Sunderland and progress in the Carabao Cup.
But just before the international break, they let a valuable point slip away at Old Trafford, conceding a stoppage-time penalty in a 3-2 defeat after twice coming from behind.
For Liverpool, it’s been a near-perfect start.
A hard-fought win over Bournemouth on the opening weekend set the tone, and it was followed by a dramatic late comeback against Newcastle.
Their most recent outing, a 1-0 win over title rivals Arsenal, further underlined their credentials.
Arne Slot’s team looks settled and efficient, and the arrival of Alexander Isak from Newcastle only adds firepower to a squad already brimming with attacking options.
Best bets
Liverpool to win
Liverpool have won each of the last five meetings with Burnley, and based on current form, extending that run looks likely.
The hosts haven’t beaten Liverpool at Turf Moor since 2016, and the gap in quality remains clear.
Liverpool to win to nil
Defensively, the Reds have been solid in this fixture, keeping a clean sheet in each of the last four head-to-heads.
Six of the last eight meetings between these sides have also seen only one team score.
Over 5.5 Liverpool corners
There’s likewise strong value in the corner market.
Liverpool have hit over 5.5 corners in seven of the last eight meetings with Burnley, and they have already cleared that mark in one of their three league games this season.
