Parked bus and hope to hit us on the break. Slow, slow buildup with lots of side to side passing. Heart in mouth for every set piece. That is the reality of where we are and no sign of any reinforcements. Semenyo would have been great for us in these situations

Im not sure semenyo would help after slot had got hold of him for any length of time.

Dont run at them lad, you might lose the ball. Just pop it back to konate so he can pass it across to virgil, that's how we are going to win this match! Not with flair and attacking intent.

CHRIS SUTTON HAS GONE FOR A COMFORTABLE HOME WIN 2: 0
  • Anfield, 15:00
Burnley have picked up three draws in their past five league games so they have not given up the fight against the drop, but they have now gone 12 league games without a win and you have to think they have had it.

You still don't really know what kind of performance you are going to get from Liverpool, and they huffed and puffed a little bit to get past Barnsley in the FA Cup, but I am still going to back them here.

Liverpool needed a stoppage-time Mohamed Salah penalty to win at Turf Moor in September, but I can see it being a lot more comfortable for Arne Slot's side this time.

I remember when Burnley boss Scott Parker lost 9-0 with Bournemouth at Anfield in 2022, and he was sacked the next day.

I don't see his side shipping as many goals this time, but Parker is going to be under pressure until the Clarets win again. Maybe that will happen when they are at home to Tottenham next week, because they are not getting anything here.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Drew's prediction: [WWE star] Sheamus loves Liverpool so I am going to go with Burnley. 1-3

AI's prediction: 3-0

JONES KNOWS BEST HAS GONE FOR A COMFORTABLE HOME WIN TOO.

Liverpool vs Burnley, Saturday 3pm ​

Arne Slot's Liverpool are beginning to look like a serious team again.

The big shift has come in their structure in defence. Slot has clearly prioritised control without the ball, giving Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate proper protection in front of them rather than leaving them exposed, which in turn has cut out the silly errors costing them goals.

Across their last eight games, Liverpool have conceded just five goals. That's not smoke and mirrors either. The expected goals against data backs it up nicely at 0.8 per 90, pointing to a side that is limiting high-quality chances rather than relying on last-ditch defending or goalkeeping heroics.

When you combine Liverpool's improved defensive process with Burnley's limited attacking threat, Liverpool to win to nil shapes up as a shrewd play at 10/11 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0​
