5 bold Premier League predictions: Liverpool crush Chelsea
1. Norwich claim a gritty win at Burnley
Norwich travels to face Burnley this weekend in a match that could really go either way. The Canaries have already shown how good they are with impressive performances against Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle.
Burnley are probably meeting the expectations of their fans currently with a win and a couple of draws to their name so far this season. The Clarets are one of the best-run clubs in this division when it comes to finances and this bears relevance to their league goal every season.
Burnley’s aim is to remain in the top flight for as long as possible but if they were to be relegated it has already been accounted for in their financial planning. However, the longer they remain in the league the more they can grow and the bigger a club they can become.
This weekend they should fancy their chances against a Norwich side who know how to score goals but also have a knack for conceding them. Daniel Farke’s side have been fearless in their opening games but this could come back to haunt them towards the end of the season.
Sometimes the attractive soccer pays off but it’s risky as a newly promoted side when every point is crucial. Norwich will need to show a different side to their game this weekend when they travel Burnley as the Clarets will do a good job of stopping their free-flowing game.
Liverpool were struggling at Turf Moor until Trent Alexander-Arnold’s deflected cross found the back of the net so this will be a very tough game for Norwich.
The Canaries will come to play and quickly realize that the passing game isn’t the way to win this one. Daniel Farke will switch up the tactics and Teemu Pukki will find the net to give Norwich an important 1-0 win.
