Liverpool had a great international break! No one got injured, their players who were nursing injuries healed up and their rivals now have more injury concerns. It’s a good time to be a Liverpool supporter, and the next match, at least on paper, looks like a win. They’ll visit newly promoted Burnley FC, a side over which they have a great advantage talent wise and depth wise. So with that in mind, manager Arne Slot may approach this match with one eye also on Wednesday, when they’ll host Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League opener.
