On Saturday, at 15:00, Liverpool and Burnley meet in the 35th round of the Premier League, at the end of the season in England. The hosts cannot count on Matip, Henderson and Lovren, while Sean Dyche’s team does not have Barnes, Cork, Lowton and Mee at their disposal.
Liverpool has 30 victories in 34 stages and is on the 1st place (goal difference 75-26), far from the vice-champion Manchester City. Burnley is on the 9th place (goal difference 38-46) and keeps hopes of qualifying in the European cups, being only two points away from the Europa League. With four consecutive stages without victory, The Clarets have a very good new season and impress with the organization of the game and the stability of the defense.
In the final stages, Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace (4-0), Aston Villa (2-0) and Brighton (3-1), but lost the pride derby with Manchester City (0-4). Burnley comes after three straight 1-0 wins, with Watford, Crystal Palace and West Ham. Therefore, not many goals are scored in the white-cherry games. In the round it was 3-0 for Liverpool, on Turf Moor, at a time when the “cormorants” were shooting hard to keep their 1st place in the Premier League.
The style of play of the two teams suggests a spectacular match, but Liverpool has a perfect balance at home and has a real goal of keeping their numbers. As a result, Jurgen Klopp will again use an ideal first 11, which should grind the opposing defense. But Burnley is not a weak team and can make claims on the counterattack, especially since the white-reds showed moments of lack of concentration in the matches after the restart. We bet on a good pace, on Anfield!
