Burnley hosts Liverpool in round 37 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 19th at Turf Moor (Burnley)
Burnley has been playing in the top division of English football for the fifth season in a row. Now the total cost of the squad is one of the lowest in the entire Premier League. Despite this, the team gains the required number of points due to motivation and maintains a place in the elite for the next season. If the Clarets rounded out the top ten clubs in the previous Premier League draw, now the results are much worse. Sean Dyche’s men are on the 14th line of the standings, having 17 defeats in 36 rounds. Another defeat happened over the weekend. Burnley lost to Leeds United at home (0-4).

Liverpool still has theoretical chances of taking a place in the TOP-4. Chelsea is only one point ahead, and there are two rounds left before the end of the English Premier League. The Pensioners will face Leicester City and Aston Villa, while Liverpool will play against Burnley and Crystal Palace. As you can see, the opponents of the Blues are more difficult. Yes, the unbeaten run of Jurgen Klopp's charges lasts eight games, but they tied twice in this segment. Another misfire could have occurred in the previous round. Liverpool played against West Bromwich Albion away. Let us remind you that the Throstles were not motivated, as they had been relegated to the Championship in advance. Luck smiled at the visitors. The Reds earned a corner kick in the 94th minute. None of the defenders played individually against Alisson Becker. And the goalkeeper of Liverpool scored a header. Liverpool gained a tough 2-12 win thanks to a decisive goal from the goalkeeper, and this, as we know, is very rare.
Burnley is playing poorly at home this season, but Liverpool is also not formidable away. The Clarets are tough and unyielding opponents, characterized by fighting qualities. The Reds have not managed to beat Burnley in two head-to-head confrontations in a row. At the end of the previous Premier League season, Dyche's men delivered only two shots on target but managed to defend a 1-1 draw at Anfield. Moreover, they even beat the Reds in the last match at the same stadium. We expect that Liverpool will again fail to cope with their problems and will not be able to easily beat the tenacious opponent.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win with +2.5 handicap
