Liverpool

This season Liverpool is again at its peak and is joining the battle for the championship title. At the moment, the Merseysiders are leading the Premier League, with a game in hand and a 2-point lead from their closest pursuers - Manchester City. However, last weekend, the Reds suffered a setback, losing to Arsenal with a score of 3:1 - thus ending a beautiful series of 15 matches without a defeat (10 wins and 5 draws).

Gabriel's own goal restored parity at the Emirates scoreboard after Bukayo Saka put the Gunners ahead, but Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk made a major mistake in the middle of the second half, giving the ball to Gabriel Martinelli in front of an empty goal, and then Leandro Trossard killed any intrigue in added time. Having reached the League Cup final against Chelsea, Liverpool also continues its participation in the FA Cup. In the Europa League, Jürgen Klopp's charges are waiting to find out who will be their opponent in the round of 16. 

Burnley

Burnley, sitting 19th in the Premier League and 7 points from the safety zone, are fighting to keep their elite division place. However, the current form of the crew is not encouraging: the Clarets haven't won a single one of their last 5 championship matches (2 draws and 3 defeats). After losing 3:1 to Manchester City, Vincent Kompany's charges found the strength to make up a two-goal deficit at half-time and share points with Fulham (2:2) last weekend.

Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Munis put the Cottagers ahead, but Chelsea loanee David D'atro Fofana struck in the 91st minute and restored parity on the scoreboard. It is important to note that the visitors have scored in each of their last four Premier League away matches. Having dropped out of both domestic cups, Burnley can now concentrate solely on their Premier League performance. 

Head-to-Head Meetings

Liverpool has won only twice in the last five head-to-head matches at Anfield, although in the first round of the current campaign the Merseysiders took three points from Turf Moor (0:2).  

Match Prediction for Liverpool vs Burnley

Burnley put up a decent fight in the home clash with the Merseysiders, albeit falling in the December battle. Now Klopp's charges can count on home crowd support, which is more needed than ever: the hosts cannot stumble, as Man City is already closing in on the league table. My prediction is a victory for Liverpool with a -1.5 handicap.

Total Prediction

The hosts average almost three goals per Premier League home game, and Burnley is not renowned for reliable defence. We confidently place a bet on the Reds' individual total of over 2.5 goals.

Prediction for Corners

Liverpool is vastly superior in class and will regularly threaten the visitors' goal. I expect at least seven corners from the Merseysiders.

Yellow Card Prediction

Burnley will have to foul a lot to keep up with their opponent's technical and lightning-fast attack. I've placed a bet on the Clarets to win the yellow card count.

Score Prediction

I'm betting on an exact score of 3:1 in favour of Liverpool.
