Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Liverpool vs Burnley

  Liverpool are preparing to host Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday, August 21. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. "I am at this game for LFC TV and it is going to be an unbelievably emotional day at Anfield as the club and fans pay tribute to the 97th victim of the Hillsborough disaster, Andrew Devine, who died in July. "The place would have been rocking anyway, because it is Liverpool's first home game of the season, at a full stadium again and with Virgil van Dijk back in the team, but the occasion is going to make the atmosphere even more special. "Burnley won at Anfield in January, ending the Reds' 68-game unbeaten run there in the league and starting a dismal run of home form. "I don't see Sean Dyche's side repeating that result this time though. We don't know what is going on behind the scenes but I don't really understand why the Clarets board are not backing him more in the transfer market." Lawrenson's score prediction: 3-0    source - BBC / Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
