Our tipster thinks that the Reds will keep a clean sheet on their way to victory against the Clarets when they travel to Turf Moor on Wednesday night
Burnley suffered a fifth defeat in six matches as they crashed to a 2-0 loss against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
Liverpool left it late to secure a dramatic 1-0 derby victory against Everton at Anfield on Sunday, with Divock Origi scoring a last-gasp winner for the Reds.
Buoyed by that victory against the Toffees, Jurgen Klopp’s charges will be keen to keep their Premier League title challenge firmly on track with victory at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.
Latest odds
The Reds remain unbeaten after 14 Premier League matches and bet365 make the visitors their 2/7 (1.29) favourites to extend that impressive record with victory here.
Burnley have slipped into the bottom three and Sean Dyche’s side can be backed at 12/1 (13.0) with bet365 to arrest their slide in style by beating Liverpool, while the same firm go 5/1 (6.0) that the match ends in stalemate.
Team news
Sam Vokes, Burnley’s top scorer in the Premier League this season, will be hoping for a recall after being forced to settle for a spot on the substitutes’ bench in south London on Saturday.
Jordan Henderson could return for Liverpool after missing the Merseyside derby due to suspension, but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains sidelined.
Divock Origi will hope that his late winner against Everton earns him a place in the Reds’ starting line-up.
Defensive discipline
Liverpool boast the best defensive record in the Premier League this season, with just five goals conceded in their 14 fixtures in the competition.
The 8/11 (1.73) quote, therefore, for Burnley to draw a blank here could prove popular, while the odds compilers offer 13/10 (2.30) that there are fewer than three goals in this game.
Prediction
Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in six of their last seven wins in all competitions and the 10/11 (1.91) quote from bet365 for Klopp’s men to win without conceding could represent real value for punters.
Odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
Liverpool win to nil at 10/11 (1.91) for a 2pt stake at bet365
