Liverpool host Burnley in round 2 of the Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 21st at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool started the new season of the English Premier League with a victory. On August 14, the Reds left no chances for Norwich (0-3). The leader of their attack, Mohamed Salah, scored himself and assisted his partners, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino. The Canaries could have scored several times in that match, but the Reds kept a clean sheet. Liverpool's defense, led by Virgil van Dijk, who recovered from a severe injury, neutralized most of the threats, and goalkeeper Alisson Becker made a spectacular save after a shot from close range at the end of the second half.

Burnley started the championship on August 14. The Clarets lost 1-2 to Brighton at home. The start of the match turned out to be ideal for the home team. In the second minute, James Tarkowski turned it home after a corner kick and sent Burnley up. After that, the Clarets could have increased the gap twice, but the woodwork played for the Seagulls. Towards the end of the second half, Burnley lost the initiative, and Brighton turned the tide of the game within five minutes. Two crosses from the right flank of Brighton's attack ended with goals from Neil Mope and Alexis McAllister.
Burnley's chances of earning at least one point in the upcoming game are very small. Liverpool will play their debut home game in the current Premier League, and it is already known that the match will be played with spectators. For the first time since March 2020, Klopp's team will play in front of full stands, and this will give the Reds good motivation. Beyond that, the defeat to Burnley in the previous season was sensitive for the Reds, and they will surely want to take revenge on their pitch. At the same time, Dyche's team will try to upset Liverpool’s goalkeeper. The last round showed that Burnley is good enough in the attack, but there are problems with conversion. In five previous visits to Anfield, the Clarets scored at least one goal, so you can take a chance and bet on a repeat of this result.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to score over 0.5 goals
