LIVERPOOL host Burnley as they look to lay down a marker in their bid to win back the Premier League title from Man City.
The Reds started with an emphatic 3-0 win away at Norwich and will be looking for more of the same as they host a full crowd at Anfield for the first time in almost 18 months.
BETTING SPECIAL – GET LIVERPOOL AT 6/1 OR BURNLEY AT 125/1
But their opponents Burnley have fond memories of this fixture having ended the Reds’ chances of a perfect home record in 2019/20 before winning 1-0 on Merseyside last season.
Sean Dyche will want an improvement on last week’s opening game though, as Burnley were beaten 2-1 at home by Brighton.
