Liverpool visit Burnley seeking a fourth straight win to preserve their perfect start, while the hosts aim to protect their long unbeaten home run - Harry Paterson provides bet builder tips.
14:00 Sunday
Liverpool travel to Burnley on Sunday aiming to maintain their perfect start to the Premier League season and strengthen their grip on top spot.
Arne Slot’s side have won all three of their opening matches, including a crucial early victory over Arsenal, and are chasing a fourth straight win, something they have only achieved twice before in the PL era.
The reigning champions have been in relentless form, scoring in 37 consecutive league matches, and bolstered their already potent attack with the £125m signing of Alexander Isak.
Burnley, meanwhile, have found life in the top flight challenging, losing away to Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United but winning at home to Sunderland.
They are unbeaten in 25 home league games but have struggled historically against Liverpool, losing 14 of 18 PL meetings and their last six at Turf Moor. This clash looks set to be a major test of their Premier League credentials.

Burnley vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tips
- Kyle Walker 2+ Fouls
- Jaidon Anthony 2+ Shots
- Salah 2+ Shots on Target
At the time of publishing this bet builder tip is a best price of 16/1 with bet365.
Kyle Walker 2+ Fouls
35-year-old Kyle Walker faces Liverpool's Cody Gakpo, who has attempted by far the most take-ons in this Liverpool side this season with 15. The next closest is Ekitike with 6.
He has also drawn 3,4, and 3 fouls in his three league appearances this season. This should give an ageing Kyle Walker a lot to think about
Walker has committed a foul in each of his last two starts for Burnley and might find himself struggling to keep up with an energetic Gakpo.
Jaidon Anthony 2+ Shots
Liverpool’s defence has been under the microscope this season, with their backline looking far from impenetrable after conceding four goals in their opening three games. They’ve also been allowing opponents plenty of opportunities, facing 11, 10, and 10 shots across those fixtures.
Burnley may struggle to dominate the ball, but they’ve shown they can still carve out chances, they registered 14 shots against Tottenham Hotspur alone.
Leading their attacking intent is Jaidon Anthony, who has recorded 4, 2, and 1 shots in his three outings so far, averaging 2.38 efforts per 90 minutes.
With Liverpool’s defence still bedding in and Burnley showing a willingness to pull the trigger, Anthony could be the one to test the Reds’ resilience.
Mohamed Salah 2+ Shots on Target
Mohamed Salah has been uncharacteristically subdued this season, netting just once in three games and registering only four shots.
His last two outings, tense, high-stakes clashes against Newcastle United and Arsenal, offered little room for attacking freedom, with intensity often overriding tactics.
After using the international break to reset, Salah now faces a more defensive Burnley side that Liverpool are expected to dominate, giving him the platform to rediscover his cutting edge.
