Burnley FC vs. Liverpool FC
The weekend is once again packed with interesting games in European top flight football and on Sunday afternoon the bottom team in the English Premier League will host second-placed Liverpool. The Reds won against Leicester City during the week and remain close on the heels of league leaders Man City. But victory against Burnley at the weekend is a must if they still want to have a say in the title fight.
The visitors from Burnley are in the midst of a relegation battle, but were able to celebrate a respectable success against Man United on Tuesday and still managed to get a point after being behind. Still, it looks very complicated for the home side as they have only won one game this season. Find out if we think they stand a chance against Liverpool in this Burnley – Liverpool betting tip.

Burnley Form & Balance Check
The Clarets currently occupy last place in the table and are accordingly in acute danger of relegation. With only one win from 20 games, they have little argument as a club to earn a place in the league. But they have also drawn 11 times and thus conceded by far the fewest defeats of the teams from the bottom of the table. Due to some Corona cases, they also have significantly more games than the competition, for example Brentford have played 4 more games than Burnley. Accordingly, nothing is lost for the Clarets yet and the gap to the saving shore is only 4 points.
Can Weghorst help the team to score more goals?
The team strengthened in the winter with Dutch striker Wout Weghorst, who will be familiar to many from the Bundesliga. He played very successfully for VfL Wolfsburg and scored several season goals last season. Now he has fulfilled his dream of the Premier League and was able to set up a goal against Man United in the very first game. It would be important for Burnley if Weghorst can match last season’s form, as they have only recently given away their top scorer and are always struggling in front of the opponent’s goal.
Burnley Facts & Analysis
– They have recorded the fewest wins of any team.
– Burnley have scored the second fewest goals
– They have only lost twice at their own stadium
Liverpool Form & Balance Check
The Reds are undoubtedly the in-form team in England at the moment, alongside Man City, and are keeping the gap constant. They also recorded an unchallenged 2-0 win against Leicester City on Thursday, making it their last 3 games in a row. They have one game less than the league leader and 9 points behind. They can’t afford any more mistakes from now on, otherwise their last chance for the title will be gone. With Salah and Mané, the two superstars of the team are now returning from the Africa Cup, which raises the level of the team to another level.
How long will Klopp stay with the Reds?
Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC, it’s a pure love story. The German coach has turned the club from the grey midfield of the table into one of the best teams in Europe and won the Champions League and the championship with them. Even though last season wasn’t as strong as the years before, the team hasn’t deviated from its coach one bit and it’s unbelievable what kind of enthusiasm the players still exude and that despite the fact that the structure has remained pretty much the same for years. We are curious to see how much longer we will see Jürgen Klopp on the Reds’ bench.
Liverpool facts & analysis
– Liverpool have scored the most goals in the league
– They have conceded just one goal in their last 3 games
– They are the second best away team in the league
Predicted line-up – last update on 11 Feb 2022
Based on the strong performance against Man United during the week, we expect only one personnel change for the home side and it is forced than voluntary. Cornet had to be substituted against the Red Devils after 70 minutes due to injury and Lennon is likely to start in his place. For the visitors from Liverpool, Salah and Mané could start together again for the first time, while Naby Keita is also an option for the midfield.
