Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane Agree on Who Will Win When Liverpool Face Burnley in the Premier League
In a recent pundit discussion ahead of Liverpool's Premier League clash against Burnley at Turf Moor, both Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane unanimously predict a victory for the Reds, though they differ on the scoreline[1][3]. Keane boldly forecasted a convincing 3-0 win for Arne Slot's side, emphasizing Liverpool's dominance. Carragher, slightly more cautious, opted for a 2-0 triumph, aligning with Gary Neville's view[1].
The matchup comes right after an international break, a period where Liverpool have historically struggled to impress. Despite strong early-season form, the article notes the Reds' uneven opening games, urging caution. Burnley, managed by Scott Parker, have shown efficiency despite low possession. In their first two Premier League outings of the 2025/26 season, they scored four goals from just 13 shots, including 2-0 wins over Manchester United (38% possession, 6 shots) and Sunderland (41% possession, 7 shots)[1].
| Game | Possession | Shots | Shots on Target | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Man Utd vs Burnley | 38% | 6 | 3 | 2 |
| Burnley vs Sunderland | 41% | 7 | 2 | 2 |
The site's own prediction counters the pundits with a tighter 2-1 Liverpool win, citing Burnley's counter-attacking threat and Liverpool's pressure after heavy spending. Fan comments highlight the fixture's risks post-break, with Burnley likely to defend deep and exploit transitions[1]. Overall, consensus favors Liverpool, but the game promises tension.
