Liverpool could complete a rare performance in their Premier League luminaire this afternoon, and will expect this in full.
The men of Arne Slot are in the paradoxical position to go to Turf Moor in third place in the Premier League table, despite the fact that it is the only team in the division with a record of 100%, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur who go above them to goal difference after their 3-0 win on Saturday.
A draw on the side of Scott Parker would be enough to move the Reds back to the top, although they will focus further on the promoted Clarets on three points.
It is a year ago today that Liverpool was able to score in a Premier League match for the last time, when Nottingham Forest Anfield surprised with a 1-0 win in Slot’s second home game in the English top flight.
Liverpool could extend the Premier League score order today after the 12-month marking today
The MerseSiders emphatically recovered from that unexpected setback to the title in Rasp, and if they were to score this afternoon at Turf Moor, they would score a full year in successive league matches.
The Reds were about to complete that achievement during the historic season 2019/20, only for the shock 3-0 defeat in Watford on February 29 to see them fall for three days, briefly surpassing the 12-month marking, after they were previously held in a 0-0 draw in Everton on March 3, 2019.
Who has the record for scoring in the most successive Premier League matches?
If Liverpool today found the net against Burnley, it would be their 38th top match in which they scored, although they still had to maintain it almost half season to match the record of 55 of Arsenal between August 2001 and December 2002.
The champions are expected to score against a team that was promoted a few months ago, not least after a summer of unprecedented transfer investments, although it would be naive to anticipate the clarets.
Parker’s side was incredibly elegant in coming the championship in previous term, only shipping 16 goals in 46 games. Of course the step to the top flight was much more difficult, with six admitted in their opening of three games on their return to the Premier League.
Nothing but a victory will satisfy Liverpool today. If they return to Merseyside with their 100% record still intact, they finch a performance that could not even manage the exalted class of 2019/20 – a full year consecutive score in Premier League matches.
