Liverpool Maintains Premier League Lead Against Burnley at Turf Moor

Liverpool, the defending Premier League champions, aim to extend their perfect start to the 2025-26 season with a fourth consecutive win against newly promoted Burnley at Turf Moor. Burnley, unbeaten at home for over 15 months and relying on their strong home form, face a formidable challenge against a Liverpool side that has won all three league games so far, scoring eight goals and demonstrating a potent attacking form. Liverpool’s new signing Alexander Isak, who has only played 18 minutes since May, may make his debut off the bench as manager Arne Slot prefers to gradually build up his fitness and integration with the team. Burnley will be missing key players such as Jordan Beyer and Zeki Amdouni, with some doubts over others, and will depend on their defensive resilience to counter Liverpool's offensive threat. Liverpool also face injury concerns with Curtis Jones ruled out, and they plan to debut their new Adidas third kit in the match. The game is expected to feature a clash of Liverpool's attacking flair against Burnley's defensive grit, with Liverpool favored but mindful of Burnley’s strong home record and previous upset against them in 2021.
