Preview
Liverpool will be out for a payback in their second outing of the season as they take on Burnley on Saturday.
The Reds’ record of a 68-game unbeaten home run in the Premier League came to an end in January, when they were defeated 1–0 by a late Ashley Barnes penalty following a trip by goalkeeper Alisson.
Following the defeat, Jurgen Klopp’s side went on to lose six league matches in a row at Anfield for the first time in club history as a result of that upset.
However, Liverpool began the 2021/22 season in good style, with goals from Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, and Mohamed Salah putting newly-promoted Norwich to the sword at Carrow Road.
Sean Dyche’s Burnley, who finished 17th last season, led for 71 minutes at home to Brighton, thanks to James Tarkowski’s early header, only to lose to late quick-fire goals from Neal Maupay and Alexis Mac Allister.
Match details
On Saturday, August 21, 2021, at 11:30 AM GMT , Liverpool will face Burnley.
The game will be played in front of a sold-out Anfield crowd.
Liverpool vs. Burnley Team News
The return to competitive action of defenders Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip, as well as the fit-again Joe Gomez and £35 million summer acquisition Ibrahima Konate, gave Liverpool a huge boost against Norwich.
Kostas Tsimikas made his first Premier League start at left-back, with Andy Robertson still out with an ankle ligament injury that will keep him out again this weekend.
Curtis Jones is expected to return after a head injury, while captain Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara are hoping to participate after a behind-closed-doors friendly against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Burnley’s poor transfer activity has only seen them recruit Nathan Collins and Wayne Hennessey so far, which so means their squad looks the same for the sixth consecutive season in the Premier League.
The club’s only confirmed injury absentees are midfielder Dale Stephens and defender Kevin Long.
