Liverpool are looking to continue their unbeaten start as they visit Burnley at Turf Moor in a huge Premier League clash.
Victory will see the Reds remain top during the international break whilst Burnley could climb into the top four depending on other results, if they can take all three points.
Team news

Liverpool have no fresh injury concerns with Alisson (calf), Nathaniel Clyne (knee) and Naby Keita (groin) all still ruled out.
Form
Burnley have taken four points from their opening three league games but fell to a 3-1 home defeat against Sunderland in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Liverpool are still unbeaten in three league games but remain yet to keep a clean sheet in all competitions, with five conceded goals in four matches.
Stat Attack
- Burnley have taken just four points out of a possible 30 against Liverpool in ten Premier League meetings (W1, D1, L8).
- Both teams have scored in each of their last five meetings.
- Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino netted three goals across both of last season’s meetings.
- Burnley’s Ashley Barnes has produced 13 shots, more than any other player so far this season.
- Trent Alexander Arnold has made 35 crosses for Liverpool, whilst producing two assists.
Prediction
Burnley need to be focused and disciplined because this Liverpool team look fearsome with their high press style but I expect the Clarets to play like they did against Arsenal and soak up the pressure before unleashing powerful counter attacks.
I however don’t see them holding out to collect a point because Liverpool will eventually wear them down and snatch the win.
Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Liverpool
