Liverpool hosts Burnley in round 18 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, January 21st at Anfield (Liverpool)
The Reds are already on the verge of being relegated from the top four of the Premier League. But only a month ago, Liverpool was in 1st place in the standings and had a certain margin from its competitors. Curiously, the team is more or less coping in defense, although Klopp cannot count on his regular defenders (Van Dijk and Matip). Along with Fabinho, he fields Henderson, who has already mastered the position of the central defender. But Liverpool’s attacking game is already very bland and predictable. In the match against Manchester United, The Reds possessed the ball much more but created few attempts in De Gea's penalty area, and the match ended in a goalless draw. And if we exclude the victory over Aston Villa in the cup (the youth squad won with a 4-1 score), Liverpool has not scored in three rounds in a row.

The Clarets managed to find their game in November. And Burnley began to gain points quite actively. As a result, by the New Year, they not only rose above the relegation zone but also broke away from the three outsiders. Still, a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United on December 27 was rather an exception to the current rule. In addition to a modest win over the undoubtedly worst team in the division, the Clarets did not manage to score or earn points in the last four rounds. First, Sean Dyche’s minimally lost to Leeds (1:0). And in January, this result was repeated not only by Manchester United but also by West Ham. On Saturday, Antonio gave the Hammers a lead in the 9th minute. And this actually became a verdict for the Clarets. Burnley is good at killing the clock. But if it concedes, it is out of the realm of fantasy to win back. So, Liverpool's task is extremely simple - to open the scoring.
Burnley will definitely not mind ending the upcoming match in a goalless draw. And it is unlikely that it will offer anything other than the bus. It’s far from certain that the current Liverpool will manage to hammer such a team. Therefore, we bet on Under 3.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored
