Burnley vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

Relegated from the Premier League in 2024, Burnley only needed a season to get back into the elite. The Clarets appeared very well in Championship to win 2nd place and thus win direct accession without going through the Playoffs. They will have to work to put themselves at the level of the Premier League this season. The promoted won his only game played at home against Sunderland 2-0. Otherwise, Burnley bowed on the lawns of Tottenham 3-0 and Manchester United following a goal on penalty received at the very end of 3-2. For the first season on the Arne Slot bench, Liverpool shone by winning the Premier League last year with 10 points ahead of his closest prosecutor.

The Mersey club hopes to keep its title this season but also appear in all other competitions. Before starting the championship, the Reds fell against Crystal Palace during the Community Shield 2-2, defeated following penalties. Subsequently, they stock up on the forefront points. Without necessarily convincing, Liverpool in turn imposed against Bournemouth 4-2, Newcastle 2-3 and Arsenal just before the international break 1-0. 

Tactically, this match could hinge on Burnley’s ability to absorb pressure and exploit Liverpool’s high line. With Parker likely to deploy a 4-2-3-1, expect Jaidon Anthony and Loum Tchaouna to test Liverpool’s full-backs, while Jacob Bruun Larsen could be key in transition. Liverpool, meanwhile, will dominate possession and look to overload the flanks, with Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo stretching Burnley’s defence. Szoboszlai’s set-piece prowess and Wirtz’s creativity between the lines could unlock the Clarets, but Burnley’s defensive record at home—just two goals conceded so far—should not be underestimated.

Despite Liverpool’s dominance in recent meetings, including five straight wins, Turf Moor has historically been a tricky venue. With Burnley’s resilience and Liverpool’s attacking depth, a 2-1 away win feels plausible. Expect Burnley to strike first, perhaps through a set piece or a moment of individual brilliance, before Liverpool’s quality turns the tide. Late goals have been a theme for the Reds, and this fixture may follow suit, with Isak or Salah delivering the decisive blow in the final stages.

• Summary: Burnley is going head to head with Liverpool starting on 14 Sept 2025 at 13:00 UTC at Turf Moor stadium, Burnley city, England. The match is a part of the Premier League .
