"Liverpool have made an excellent start to their Premier League title defense, standing as the only English team to claim nine points from nine. But the season is about to intensify, with the Reds facing two EPL matches, a Champions League clash, and a Carabao Cup tie across their next four contests as they dive deeper into their campaign. With this packed fixture list ahead, let's break down Liverpool's next four opponents and how I expect each match to unfold."
"The Clarets boast a steady back line anchored by veterans like former Manchester City mainstay Kyle Walker and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who enters in strong form after helping Slovakia post a 2-0 clean-sheet victory over global powerhouse Germany with four saves. The Reds will also be familiar with Burnley manager Scott Parker, who previously coached Bournemouth and Fulham, and was at the helm during the Cottagers' memorable 1-0 upset at Anfield in 2021."
Liverpool will visit Turf Moor after the international break. Burnley have bounced between the Premier League and the Championship and have mixed early-season results, beating Sunderland, losing to Spurs, and nearly drawing at Old Trafford. Burnley's defense is anchored by veterans including Kyle Walker and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who is in strong form after international duty. Burnley manager Scott Parker previously coached Bournemouth and Fulham and led the 1-0 Anfield upset in 2021. Burnley often line up in a 4-2-3-1 with midfielders dropping deep. Arne Slot could restore Dominik Szoboszlai to an attacking role, and Liverpool enter rested and are favored to win. The upcoming fixtures include two Premier League matches, a Champions League clash, and a Carabao Cup tie.
