Burnley v Liverpool

December is a busy time in the Premier League. Let’s check out the best Premier League 5 Dec betting tips, starting with Liverpool v Burnley. Burnley go into this important midweek fixture with only one side beneath them in the Premier League table after 14 games. They set-up with stats of two wins and three draws against nine defeats; that run has them on nine points, one better than London side Fulham; they are level with Southampton in 18^th and only one off Huddersfield and safety. It has been a poor start but it’s certainly too early to panic.

The Clarets, who finished seventh last term, were beaten 2-0 by Crystal Palace in London at the weekend. They were downed by goals from McArthur inside 16 minutes and a Townsend second on 77 that put the game to bed. Sean Dyche has run out of patience with his troops; he’s made it known by telling members of the press in his post-match interview that the team had lost their eye of the tiger; in fact, he was more than happy to admit the best team won on the day. That wasn’t difficult to argue against as Burnley finished without a shot on target and only 41% of the overall possession.

Reds aiming high

Liverpool continue to aim for top-spot in the Premier League; as their title push gathers momentum fans are beginning to dream, thinking of what may lie ahead this season if their reds can hold form during the winter months. Liverpool have won 11 and drawn three of their starts so far, making them the only team other than Man City to hold onto a proud unbeaten record. They have claimed maximum points in four of their last five and have won each of their three most recent outings. Leaders, City, are two points better off at last count.

The visitors come in on the back of a fantastic Merseyside derby win over Everton on Sunday when stamping out their opponent’s progress with a hard-fought 1-0 victory. In a thrilling match it looked like the sides would end all-square, locked at 0-0 going into 90 minutes; however, there was to be late drama as Origi scored a winner with 96 on the clock to delight the home support. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who has been sensational this season, made a horrible error for the goal to hand Liverpool what was a bizarre win. Jurgen Klopp had no problems showing his delight.

Away win favourite

Liverpool are favourites to claim another three points and that will come as no surprise to genuine followers of English football or to those who love to bet on the outcome of these matches. They have been much the better side of the two so far this season and have put many of their lower ranked rivals to the sword as they blaze a trail of glory. There has been nothing in the form of either team to suggest Burnley will be the first to defeat Liverpool.

The away win is our strong pick; however, with bookies offering 2/7 (Bet365) we can’t back them in the 1-X-2 market as there’s no value there. Perhaps they will prove popular with accumulator punters; however, we’d much prefer to go in search of the value. Liverpool have kept a clean-sheet in each of their last three domestic matches. Therefore, a win to nil goes as our bet of the night, available at 10/11 with Bet365. That’s good enough to take on its own and the stats suggest we can get stuck in.
