Which Football Leagues See The Highest Number Of Corners?

3y ago

Having begun the season so brilliantly, Liverpool were touted by the media as overwhelming favorites to defend the league title. But the narrative has since changed, after the Reds embarked on a horrific four-game winless run, causing them to lose ground in the title race.

Meanwhile, Burnley have risen from their early-season ruins to kickstart a Premier League survival battle. Dyche’s men are currently performing exceptionally, and will fancy their chances of upstaging Liverpool in this upcoming crunch clash.

Liverpool vs Burnley Team News

Despite suffering some major injury crisis earlier in the season, Liverpool still soldiered on to deliver some fantastic results on the trot. However, with the Reds now struggling to secure victories, it appears they have hit a stumbling block.

Winless in each of their previous four games on the bounce, the pressure is already mounting on Jurgen Klopp to get his faltering Liverpool side back on track. And you bet the German gaffer will be losing sleep as he ponders on the necessary tweaks to reinvent this team.

Handed the herculean task of toppling Manchester United to return to the league summit last time out, Liverpool missed their chance to go top. Even with their superior possession, the Reds lacked that killer instinct in the final-third to register a goal.

Interestingly, even though United were camped in their own half all through the ninety minutes, they still created the best chances. This comes to show how lax the Reds handled the ball – a trend that has become the norm at the club lately.

With the match ending goalless, Liverpool’s miseries piled on. And these ones will be seeking their first win in five when they welcome Burnley to their fortress of a stadium this Thursday. Surprisingly, the Clarets have been caught up in a relegation scuffle this term.

With a paltry return of 16 points from 17 matches, Burnley find themselves languishing in 17^th place on the standings. Granted the Clarets had a slow start to the campaign, but they are beginning to look more reassured with their performances.

Unfortunately, the fixture schedule has been a bit unkind to Burnley, fixing them up with consecutive clashes against some of the league’s heavyweights. After suffering narrow 1-0 defeats to Man United and West Ham in their last two games, the Clarets will be hoping to return to winning ways here.

Injured or Suspended Players

Liverpool: Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Diogo Jota and Naby Keita.
Burnley: No injuries or suspensions.

Liverpool vs Burnley Predictions

These two sides have found goals difficult to come by in recent weeks. Liverpool have recorded just one goal in their previous three games; and just like the Reds, Burnley have mustered only a single strike from their last three outings.

Burnley are well-organized in defense, and by no means, pushovers. Though favorites to win this, Liverpool will be made to dig really deep to bag all three points. A cagey affair on our hands, expect no more than two goals on the board, with the hosts carrying the day.
