Roy Keane takes a different stance from Jamie Carragher regarding the prediction for the Liverpool vs Burnley match.
The Overlap once again delivered lively Premier League debate, with Burnley vs Liverpool taking centre stage in the Super 6 predictions.
The clash drew split opinions, particularly around whether Alexander Isak would feature, but both Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane backed Arne Slot’s men to secure victory at Turf Moor.
Carragher went for a 2-0 Liverpool win, while Keane predicted a more emphatic 3-0 scoreline. Still, questions remain given Liverpool’s tendency to look sluggish after international breaks and their somewhat underwhelming start to the campaign.
Burnley’s own form hasn’t been inspiring either, with losses to Manchester United (3-2) and Tottenham (3-0) sandwiching a 2-0 win over Sunderland. Facing a Liverpool side stacked with the likes of Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Virgil van Dijk will be another stern test for Scott Parker’s side.
Empire of the Kop suggests it could be a tight contest, with Liverpool likely to grow stronger in the second half. Preventing Burnley from making the most of their limited chances will be crucial, as shown in their efficient finishing against United and Sunderland.
Positives for the Reds include improved displays from Milos Kerkez at left-back and Dominik Szoboszlai’s versatility, which bodes well heading into the fixture.
Predictions
Carragher & Neville: Liverpool 2-0
Keane & Wright: Liverpool 3-0
Empire of the Kop: Liverpool 2-1
