Burnley has been involved in the survival battle from the very start, but so far, they have been unable to leave the relegation zone. After 18 rounds, the “Clarets” have gathered 11 points, placing them in the penultimate 19th position. The team is three points away from the safety of the 17th position. In the last round, Vincent Kompany’s wards unexpectedly defeated “Fulham” away with a score of 2-0. They managed to convert their few opportunities precisely in that match and maintain the advantage, although the opponent did not capitalize on many chances. However, “Burnley” remains the worst home team in the Premier League they have earned only three points on their turf. Additionally, the “Clarets” concede the most goals at home in the championship 22 times the ball had to be retrieved from the back of the net.
In the previous round, Liverpool played a crucial match against Arsenal, and the evenly contested game ended in a 1-1 draw. The “Gunners” scored an early goal, but Salah equalized the score in the first half. With 39 points, the “Reds” approach the 19th round in second place in the league table. They are only one point behind Arsenal, and they can surpass Aston Villa only through additional indicators. Liverpool has a match ahead against a fairly comfortable opponent, whom they managed to defeat in the last three head-to-head encounters without conceding a single goal. It is worth noting that in the two previous away matches in the Premier League, J?rgen Klopp’s wards convincingly defeated less formidable opponents: Sheffield United (2-0) and Crystal Palace (2-1). Currently, Liverpool is on an 11-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League.
