Liverpool vs Burnley is a classic Premier League mismatch on paper, but the stakes are real at both ends of the table. The defending champions are fourth and pushing to keep their Champions League place secure, carrying a long unbeaten run that has still produced too many draws. Burnley arrive 19th, winless in 12 league games, and running out of time to pull away from probable relegation. With Anfield hosting and pressure rising, this Round 22 fixture has momentum, points, and reputations on the line.
Match Preview
Liverpool start the day fourth with 35 points from 21 matches (10W, 5D, 6L) and are unbeaten since November 26, 2025 across all competitions. The run has not been perfect: three straight Premier League draws and five draws in their last eight league games have left Arne Slot demanding more wins rather than “good” performances. Defensively, Liverpool have tightened up, conceding just five goals in their last eight matches, but their attacking numbers have dipped compared to historic standards.
Burnley sit 19th with 13 points (3W, 4D, 14L), eight points from safety, and they have not won a league match in 12 games. Their away record has hurt them badly, with only one away league win this season (at Wolves in October). Burnley’s structure can frustrate opponents, but their output remains among the league’s weakest, reflected in 22 goals scored in 21 matches.
Injuries shape this one. Liverpool lost Conor Bradley for the season with knee ligament damage requiring surgery. Mohamed Salah remains away due to the Africa Cup of Nations schedule, with his availability for this match not confirmed. Burnley’s biggest blow is captain Josh Cullen, ruled out for the season with an ACL injury. Lyle Foster is back from AFCON and is expected to be available, while Armando Broja is anticipated to lead the line.

How to watch anywhere with VPN
A VPN can change your online location, which some fans use to access streams that are otherwise geo-blocked. Broadcasters often enforce restrictions using IP location and billing checks, and using a VPN can breach a platform’s terms. If you still choose to use one, keep it simple: 1) install a reputable VPN, 2) connect to a server in the country of your streaming subscription (for example, the UK for Sky Go/NOW), 3) log in and play the match. Most VPNs work across iOS, Android, desktop, and many smart TV setups.

How to watch at Sportsbooks
Major sportsbooks do not typically stream Premier League matches. The dossier notes that operators like Bet365, Unibet, William Hill, and Betfair generally provide odds and live match trackers, not official live video. If you are betting and want to watch legally, you will need a separate subscription with the official broadcaster in your region. If a sportsbook does offer a stream for other sports, the usual steps are: register, deposit, then look for a live “Play” icon in the event page.
Liverpool have the table position, the home crowd, and the head-to-head edge, but Burnley’s survival fight makes this a dangerous fixture if the hosts waste chances. Kick-off is 16:00 CET at Anfield. Check your local listings and lock in your stream early.
