Context: Liverpool resume PL action against newly promoted Burnley.
H2H at Turf Moor (league)
Liverpool have won 8 of 9 PL away games at Turf Moor (L1).
The Reds have six straight league wins there and four clean sheets in a row away to Burnley.
Liverpool streaks & fast starts
A win would give Liverpool 4/4 league wins to start a season for only the 3rd time (2018-19, 2019-20).
Arne Slot’s side have scored in 37 consecutive PL matches (club record). Only Spurs (39) and Arsenal (55) have longer PL scoring runs.
Liverpool have previously managed 7+ consecutive away league wins at West Brom, Norwich and Crystal Palace.
Parker subplot
This is Scott Parker’s first league meeting with Liverpool since the 9-0 loss with Bournemouth (Aug 2022).
He has beaten Liverpool before (1-0, Mar 2021) and could become only the second manager to beat both Klopp and Slot in the PL (after Marco Silva).
Players to watch
Florian Wirtz: most off-ball runs in the PL this season (92), incl. 42 into the attacking third and 26 ahead of the ball.
Alexander Isak could debut for Liverpool; from 2022-23 to 2024-25 only two players scored more PL goals than his 54.
Cody Gakpo: 8 goal involvements in his last 9 PL games vs newly promoted sides (5G, 3A).
Debut scorers: two Reds have already scored on their PL debuts this season (Hugo Ekitike, Rio Ngumoha). The last season with more debutant scorers was 1946-47.
Burnley notes
After beating Sunderland 2-0, Burnley can start a PL season with back-to-back home wins for only the second time (first four in 2009-10).
After international breaks
Liverpool have lost only 2 of their last 28 PL matches immediately after an international break (W21, D5).
