Burnley face a daunting challenge when they host an in-form Liverpool side in their upcoming Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon. The Burnley vs Liverpool clash will take place at Turf Moor and should be an enticing battle as both teams fight for a win. Here is our Burnley vs Liverpool preview.

For Burnley, it's been a topsy-turvy start to the 2025/26 season as they have won one of their three league games and are in 14th place in the table. Scott Parker will urge his side to maintain a really stubborn backline to frustrate the visitors and be prolific in transitions and set pieces to get a positive result.

Liverpool are determined to continue their perfect start to the campaign, having won all three games and sitting on top of the Premier League table. Arne Slot will urge his side to be more innovative and clinical in converting their chances to torment the Clarets and make a statement of intent with a big win.

Burnley Team News

Scott Parker is still dealing with some annoying injury issues in his squad. The likes of Zeki Amdouni (knee) and Manuel Hedilazio (heel) are both injured, while Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts must pass fitness tests for this one.

Liverpool Team News

Arne Slot has a relatively fit enough squad for this, but Jeremie Frimpong and Ibrahima Konate must pass the fitness test to be fit. Alexander Isak is in line to make his Liverpool debut in this.

Key Players to Watch in Burnley vs Liverpool

Jacob Bruun Larsen (Burnley)

Jacob Larsen has arguably been one of Burnley's best players at the beginning of the campaign, managing one assist by overperforming his 0.34 xA (expected assists). Larsen will be looking to use his experience to trouble Milos Kerkez, tormenting them with his clever movement to get into the right areas and flinging in inviting crosses to enhance Burnley's goal-scoring capability and chances to win.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Even though Alexander Isak might be Liverpool's shiny new toy, Mohamed Salah remains their reliable general. He's had a slow start to the campaign, only scoring one goal by outperforming his 0.31 xG (expected goals) so far. Salah looks to pick up his form against Burnley, as he'll look to use his clever movement to dart into the key goal scoring positions and put away his chances ruthlessly to guide Liverpool to another win.

Burnley vs Liverpool Prediction

These two sides have had almost polarizing starts to the new campaign. Despite that, Burnley will be determined to gain some momentum by producing a sturdy performance against Liverpool and will look to frustrate the Reds with their stubborn defensive shape.

There should be plenty of chances for both sides, but Liverpool are just too powerful in the attacking sense right now. The Reds' blistering forwards should be too hot to handle for the hosts and allow Slot's to sail their way to a win. Here is our Burnley vs Liverpool prediction.

Predicted score: Burnley 0-3 Liverpool
