The latest episode of The Overlap delivered its usual fiery Premier League debate, with Burnley vs Liverpool the headline game in this week’s Super 6 predictions.
The panel was split on whether Alexander Isak would feature, but both Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane agreed that Arne Slot’s side should have too much quality at Turf Moor.
- Carragher backed a controlled 2-0 Liverpool win
- Keane went bolder with a 3-0 prediction
Despite the optimism, some doubts remain. Liverpool have often looked sluggish straight after international breaks, and their start to the season hasn’t been entirely convincing.
Burnley’s form hardly inspires confidence either. Defeats to Manchester United (3-2) and Tottenham (3-0) were only briefly offset by a 2-0 victory over Sunderland. Scott Parker’s men now face a Liverpool squad featuring the likes of Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Virgil van Dijk — a daunting prospect.
According to Empire of the Kop, this could still be a tight game, with Liverpool expected to grow stronger after the interval. Burnley’s ability to convert rare chances — as shown against United and Sunderland — could prove decisive if the Reds switch off.
Positives for Liverpool include the encouraging form of Milos Kerkez at left-back and Dominik Szoboszlai’s growing versatility, both of which strengthen Slot’s options.
Predictions
- Carragher & Neville: Liverpool 2-0
- Keane & Wright: Liverpool 3-0
- Empire of the Kop: Liverpool 2-1
