Burnley vs Liverpool
Premier League 2019-20
Venue: Turf Moor
Date: Saturday, 31st August, 2019
Kick-off time: 5:30pm BST
Liverpool are looking to keep their 100 per cent Premier League record in tact before the international break as they travel to Burnley on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp's Champions League holders sit top of the table with three wins from three, with last weekend's 3-1 home victory over Arsenal serving as a warning to the rest of the would-be title contenders that Liverpool will not be easy to shift.
The Reds head to Turf Moor to face a Burnley side who have collected four points so far, and Sean Dyche's Clarets have already shown against Arsenal this season that it will require brawn as well as brains to beat them.
Team news and predicted lineups
Steven Defour (calf) and Robbie Brady (ribs) are out for Burnley, while Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf) has a slight chance of returning.
Daniel Drinkwater could feature for the Clarets after featuring in the Carabao Cup defeat to Sunderland.
As for Liverpool, Naby Keita (groin), Alisson Becker (calf) and Nathaniel Clyne (knee) all remain out of action.
Burnley XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Lennon, Cork, Westwood, McNeil; Wood, Barnes
Liverpool XI: Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Mane, Firmino
Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Liverpool
Turf Moor is never an easy place to go, but Liverpool won there 3-1 last December and have more than enough quality to pick up another three points.
