Preview: Liverpool vs Burnley Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Reds have won all of their last six games against the Clarets.

Liverpool FC are now going to battle it out against Burnley FC for their matchweek 22 contest of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This interesting contest between these clubs will take place at Anfield.

The Reds will be at home for their upcoming outing and it is going to keep them at an advantage from the start. They were held to a goalless draw by Arsenal in their previous fixture. The Arne Slot-led Liverpool are not in their best form since the beginning of the season, but have slowly maintained their form. They will be looking to return to winning ways in the league now.

The Clarets are struggling in the English top tier at the moment. They are in 19th place on the Premier League points table at the moment. Burnley FC have won only three of their 21 league matches this season. The upcoming game is going to be a tough one for them, as they will be away from home and are on a poor run of form.

Players to Watch

Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool)

In 18 Premier League appearances of the ongoing campaign, Hugo Ekitike has scored eight goals and has two assists to his name for Liverpool. He is in good form at the moment and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. Ekitike scored a goal and came up with an assist in the previous cup game as well.

Jaidon Anthony (Burnley)

Jaidon Anthony is going to play a crucial part in the attacking front for Burnley FC. He is coming in after scoring a crucial equaliser against Manchester United in the previous league game. In 20 league games this season, he has scored five goals and has an assist to his name. A top performance by Anthony can surely create issues for the hosts.
