Second game of the season, Liverpool away to Burnley. Hope it's not going to be the same old story:beat the big team and struggle against the bottom team. I can't wait for this game. My prediction Burnley 1:3 Liverpool. Doubt we are going to keep a clean sheet.

Lawro's Idea. Burnley v Liverpool Liverpool should be at home in this game but they switched it to Turf Moor because they are still working on the new main stand at Anfield. Burnley were a bit unlucky to lose out to a late Swansea goal on the opening day of the season, but that sort of sums up where it went wrong for them when they were last in the top flight. The Clarets always worked hard and always seemed to stay in games but they ended up being beaten quite a lot too. You would not want to have played two games at home and lost them both at this stage of the season but unfortunately for Burnley, I can see it happening. Looking at the way they set up against Arsenal, I think playing away suits the Reds. Yes, teams will be able to get at them but boy oh boy will they cause them problems too. Lawro's prediction: 0-2 Paul Merson's prediction. Burnley v Liverpool - Saturday, 3pm I was a little disappointed in Burnley. At home, I thought they had to go for the win but they didn't create much and with virtually the same team that got them promoted, it looks like a long season ahead. There's a big gap from the Sky Bet Championship to the Premier League and I expect Liverpool to win this. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Arsenal 3 - 4 Liverpool - Remember you need a Sky iD to watch Premier League highlights I don't think many teams will go to Burnley and take them apart because they are well organised and have a good manager, but Liverpool look dangerous in attack. They will be able to cope without Sadio Mane if he's out for an extended period because Jurgen Klopp has plenty of options going forward. It's in defence that he has problems. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3
