Liverpool v Burnley Betting Tips
Liverpool are probably still smarting to this day about their loss at Turf Moor earlier in the season. It was a bizarre game where Liverpool took over 80% of possession in the game and still ended up losing 2-0 somehow. A repeat of that upset doesn’t appear to be on the cards, with Liverpool having strong home form and Burnley going so poorly away from Turf Moor. Liverpool have banked back to back home wins over Spurs and Arsenal and are going well again on home soil. That is a W9 D3 L1 record they have posted at home this season at Anfield in the top flight. They have only picked up the one clean sheet in their last eight games home and away in the league, but punters may fancy a crack at Liverpool to win to nil at Coral for a price of 10/11. That’s not an unreasonable option here and on top of that, there is a trend going because Liverpool have won their last four on home soil against Burnley without conceding a single goal.
Liverpool haven’t exactly been at their best in their since the 2017 calendar year turned over but their home form remains strong and they will be backed to win this one. Liverpool have not lost a Premier League home game against a newly promoted side since the 2010/11 season when Blackpool raided Anfield. Since then they have gone W12 D5 since then against newly promoted sides at Anfield. Liverpool will match their tally of wins from last season (16) if they collect three points in this one. In the anytime goalscorer market, Sadio Mane is 4/5 outright favourite with Roberto Firmino at 10/11. Over 2.5 goals in the game at Coral is a price of 8/15 and 62% of Liverpool’s home games this season have gone over the goal line. A Liverpool 2-0 correct score is this shortest priced option at a quote of 6/1, which is how the last meeting between these at Anfield ended.
Burnley can’t exactly be trusted with their poor away form. They have collected only two points in a D2 L11 record away from Turf Moor this season. Surprisingly they have netted in each of their last six road games (exactly one goal in each) though, so both teams to score at Coral is a big 21/10 punt while Andre Gray is 7/2 in the anytime goalscorer market. Before they rolled out that win over the Reds at Turf Moor earlier in the season, the Clarets had lost all four of their previous Premier League games against the Reds, scoring none and conceding eleven in that sequence. The last time they managed to land a win at Anfield was in September 1974 and they have gone D1 L8 in their last nine visits to Anfield, scoring just one goal and conceding 19. Each of Burnley’s last six away defeats have only been by a one-goal margin, four of their last five ending in 2-1 defeats. A Liverpool 2-1 correct score is a 9/1 shot for this one.

Liverpool v Burnley Predictions
It is hard to see any other outcome happening other than a comfortable home win for Liverpool. Burnley haven’t produced anything on the road this season and they have failed to score in their last four visits to Anfield as well. So look for Liverpool to win to nil and they should be value around the 2-0 correct score mark on a home win as well. This should be as routine as it can possibly get for the Reds on home soil.
