Burnley vs Liverpool: Data, trends and where to watch this English Premiere League fixture

Burnley are set to host Liverpool in what will be the penultimate fixture of Match Day 4 of the 2025-26 English Premiere Leagur season. A win for Arne Slot's men will put them back on top of the table and open up a three-point lead as well. It is incentive enough for the unbeaten Liverpool side who have won games despite not operating at full throttle just yet. For Burnley, it is an opportunity to prove their mettle but also a contest that could leave them potentially scarred.

Liverpool have three wins in three games but in none of those victories were they flawless. That they could still emerge with the wins tells the story of a side that is brimming with confidence even with visible cracks in defence at times. Against Arsenal two weeks ago, it were the Gunners who dominated proceedings for most parts till a wonder goal from Dominik Szoboszlai ensured all three points for the defending champions. In the games prior, against Bournemouth and Newcastle respectively, Liverpool had moments of vulnerability but managed to find a way to get across the line. The Burnley fixture should relatively be stress-free potentially and Slot would want his squad to do the basics right.

Burnley have one win and two losses from three games so far. That they shipped three goals apiece in the losses to Tottenham and Manchester United respectively is a sign of concern. The defence has been vulnerable, which is unusual for Burnley sides who do pride themselves in keeping things tight even when they aren't creating much upfront. With Liverpool not being at their defensive best, there could be chances for the hosts to make some dents but the question, can they they keep their own defensive lines in check? It won't be easy and if Burnley aren't on their toes, they could get a hammering.

Goals, trends and predictions

Liverpool have won the last five fixtures between the two sides and are favourites to repeat the dose once again in this fixture. Given their high-flying style of play, expect the Reds to dole out a plethora of corners as well and this is something Burnley also prefer as set-pieces are their primary source of goals in general.

Prediction: Liverpool 3 Burnley 0
