Storylines

Liverpool: It's been quite the strong start for the Reds, even without injured star goalkeeper Alisson. The team is clicking in attack and looks like the early favorite to win the Premier League title, right there with Manchester City. This is a match the Reds expect to win, but going to Turf Moor can at times be a tricky trap game where they'll hope they avoid dropping points. As long as they play quickly on the counter, they shouldn't have much trouble.

Burnley: A draw will feel like a win, and you can imagine just how great a win would feel. Burnley looked like a relegation contender entering the season, but getting off to a solid start has raised expectations. What better way to measure yourself than against the European champs?
