Key Players and Possible Lineups
Liverpool's lineup has been affected by injuries and suspensions. Notable absences include Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic, Kostas Tsimikas, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Thiago Alcantara, and Ibrahima Konate.
Despite these setbacks, Liverpool is expected to field a strong 4-3-3 formation featuring Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Mac Allister, Jones; Jota, Nunez, Diaz.
Burnley, on the other hand, faces its challenges with Nathan Redmond and Luca Koleosho sidelined due to injuries. Their likely 4-4-2 setup includes Trafford; Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve, Vitinho; Gudmundsson, Berge, Brownhill, Odobert; Foster, Fofana.
Recent Form and Head-to-Head Record
Liverpool has won eight of their past ten Premier League games against Burnley and remains unbeaten in six matches against teams in the relegation zone. On the flip side, Burnley has not won in their last five Premier League outings and has a daunting task ahead at Anfield, where Liverpool has a formidable record.
Analysis and Prediction
Considering both teams' forms, Liverpool's attacking prowess, led by Darwin Nunez, and their solid record at Anfield, they are the favourites to win. Burnley's struggle in the league and poor record against top-table teams further tilts the prediction in Liverpool's favour. A predicted scoreline could see Liverpool winning comfortably, with some outlets suggesting a 4-0 victory for the Reds.
How to Watch
The match will be broadcast live in Nigeria on DSTV, Gotv, and Star Times
