Head-to-Head

Liverpool have 10 of their 14 meetings with Burnley since the start of the Premier League era.

However, in recent times Burnley have had a knack for leaving Anfield with something to show for their efforts. The Clarets followed up a 1-1 draw in July 2020 with a 1-0 win their last season.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool made a solid start to their quest to regain the Premier League title this season.

They overcame a sluggish start to beat Norwich City 3-0 at Carrow Road. Mohamed Salah scored one goal and assisted the other two in a fine individual display.

In scoring, Salah became the first player to score on opening weekend in five straight Premier League seasons.

Virgil van Dijk looked rusty as he returned from a lengthy lay-off and Norwich had their chances, but they could not take them.

Liverpool Team News

Virgil van Dijk suffered no setbacks in his first competitive game for 10 months and should start again.

Curtis Jones could return after missing the opening game with a concussion, while Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara could feature after appearing in a behind-closed-doors friendly.
