The Fan Zone

Joe Redmond (TurfCast): Even the most optimistic Burnley fan will struggle to see how the Clarets can get a positive result from this game.

Liverpool are the current champions of England and won the league last year with ease, and they’re also currently top of the league and the only team in the Premier League to have won 3/3 so far this season.

They do look a little leaky though when teams attack them, both Bournemouth and Newcastle both grabbed two goals against them - Arsenal went full Arsenal and barely attacked them so it’s hard to judge their defence on that game.

So that means we might be able to get at them slightly but if I’m honest I’d be surprised if we managed a goal - but we did manage two goals at Old Trafford recently so who knows.

Prediction: 0-2
