Burnley and Liverpool will battle for three points in a Premier League matchday four clash on Sunday (September 14th). The game will be played at Turf Moor.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the harrowing 3-2 defeat they suffered away to Manchester United in their final game before the international break.
They went into halftime behind to Josh Cullen's 27th-minute own goal. Lyle Foster equalized 10 minutes into the second half, but Bryan Mbeumo restored United's lead less than two minutes later. Jaidon Anthony was on hand to restore parity for the Clarets in the 66th minute, as he prodded in from close range after a couple of deflections in the box. Bruno Fernandes held his nerve to convert a VAR-awarded penalty in the seventh minute of injury time to settle the contest.
Liverpool, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 1-0 home win over Arsenal in a game that could play a key role in determining the destination of the title this season. Both sides created little of note, with the game decided by a spectacular Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick seven minutes from time.
The win ensured the defending champions maintained their 100% start to the season. Burnley are 17th on three points.

Burnley vs Liverpool Prediction
Burnley were handed a tough start to life on their return to the Premier League, with this their third game against the Premier League 'Big Six' in their opening four games. The other two matches in this run came away, and Scott Parker will relish a return to Turf Moor, having overseen a win in their sole home game so far, against fellow new boys Sunderland.
Liverpool sent a statement of intent with their transfer activities, with the Merseyside outfit being the biggest spenders on the continent in the just-concluded window. Things have also been going smoothly on the field for Arne Slot's side, and they will be aiming for maximum points to reclaim top spot in their quest to defend their title.
The Reds have won on each of their last six visits to this stadium in the Premier League. We are backing this trend to continue with a multi-goal win for the visitors.
Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Liverpool
