As Liverpool prepare for the short trip to Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon, we crunch the numbers and offer some interesting stats ahead of the Burnley game.
- Liverpool are looking to win their opening four Premier League matches in a season for a third time, also doing so in 2018-19 (finished 2nd) and 2019-20 (won the title). It would be the third time in a row the reigning top-flight champions have won their first four games (also Man City in 2023-24 and 2024-25), the first time ever in top-flight history that’s happened.
- Liverpool have won eight of their nine away Premier League matches at Turf Moor against Burnley (L1), winning the last six in a row. The Reds have won seven away top-flight games in a row against three teams previously: West Brom (8 between 1983 and 2009), Norwich (8 between 1995 and 2021) and Crystal Palace (7 between 2016 and 2022).
- Liverpool have scored in 37 consecutive Premier League matches, their longest run in top-flight history. Only Tottenham (39 in a row, March 2023 – March 2024) and Arsenal (55, May 2001 – November 2002) have scored in more Premier League matches in a row.
- Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz has made the most off-ball runs in the Premier League this season (92), while he’s also made the most runs into the attacking third (42) and most runs ahead of the ball (26).
- Alexander Isak is set to make his Liverpool debut in this match – between 2022-23 and 2024-25, only two players scored more Premier League goals than he did (54). Two players (Hugo Ekitiké and Rio Ngumoha) have scored on their debuts this season, with 1946-47 the last time more Reds player scored on their top-flight debuts in one campaign (Len Carney, Billy Liddell, Albert Stubbins, Cyril Done, William Watkinson).
