Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, Liverpool will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor. The Reds have a chance to climb to top position and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Clarets. Darwin Nunez is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Konstantinos Tsimikas has joined the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Joel Matip, Diogo Jota, and Andy Robertson in the recovery room.
The hosts, on the other hand, recorded a morale-boosting win over Fulham at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Jurgen Klopp’s troops. In each of the previous three meetings between the two sides Liverpool emerged triumphant and we do not believe that the relegation strugglers are capable of putting an end to the negative trend. Both Aaron Ramsey and Luca Koleosho are sidelined with injuries, while Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Jack Cork are major doubts.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
