Liverpool will play hosts to Burnley at Anfield hoping to stretch their 100% winning record at home by securing another dominant victory on Saturday afternoon. The Reds clinched a brilliant 3-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in their last match which has given them a great chance to break a lot of records in the coming weeks. Hence, Jurgen Klopp’s team will be well-motivated to pick up three points versus the Clarets this weekend.
The Merseyside giants will continue to set themselves up in a 4-3-3 formation. Unfortunately, Klopp would not have Jordan Henderson available for selection for this upcoming league encounter versus Sean Dyche’s men.
4-3-3 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face Burnley
Defence
Alisson Becker will retain his place in goal for Liverpool despite failing to keep a clean sheet versus the Seagulls in midweek. Joe Gomez will continue to play alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of Klopp’s defence as they look to restrict the Clarets from scoring at Anfield.
Neco Williams could get the nod to feature as the right-back if Klopp decides to give Trent Alexander-Arnold a well-deserved rest this weekend. Andrew Robertson will operate on the other side as the left-back following his impressive second-half showing versus Brighton.
Midfield
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson picked up a serious injury in midweek, so he would miss out on this upcoming encounter at Merseyside. Klopp is expected to go with Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho and Naby Keita as they focus on dominating the midfield battles so that they can orchestrate some decent openings for the front players.
James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will have to settle for a spot on the bench but might come on in the second half if required.
Attack
Both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah will be responsible for getting in behind the Burnley backline when they resume their duties as the wide players this weekend. Roberto Firmino will once again spearhead Klopp’s attack up top. Salah is currently fighting for the golden boot award, so he will be desperate to net a few goals when the Clarets visit Anfield later this week.
Both Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi will be available for selection on the Liverpool bench as they await the opportunity to influence the game as the impact substitutes if Klopp decides to call upon their services.
