“This won’t be easy for Liverpool” – Mark Lawrenson predicts Burnley vs Liverpool Premier League match

Former EPL star Mark Lawrenson believes Liverpool will have to get a hard-fought win eventually when they clash against Burnley.

Liverpool will visit the Clarets at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Sunday (February 13).

Lawrenson believes the premier league outfit Burnley have the potential to make things more difficult at home, although Liverpool are likely to eventually come away with a 2-0 win. He told the BBC:

“This won’t be easy for Liverpool. Burnley are still bottom of the table but they have shown recently that they are up for the fight. I still think Jurgen Klopp’s side will come out on top though because we know they will create a lot of chances.”

The 64-year-old also pointed out that the battle between Burnley’s new striker Wout Weghorst and his compatriot Virgil van Dijk will be interesting.

Lawrenson said: “Watching new Burnley striker Wout Weghorst go up against his Dutch team-mate Virgil van Dijk will be interesting. Weghorst has made a decent start to life at Turf Moor but he was signed to score goals and it is a big ask for him to get off the mark in this one.”

Weghorst is yet to open his account for Burnley. However, he did get a vital assist for Jay Rodriguez’s equalizer in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United in Burnley’s last Premier League outing.
