For the first time since the 1980-81 top-flight season, Liverpool had failed to win any of their three home league games against newly promoted sides. Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley completed the set. It was hardly heavy metal football, but after weeks of struggling to break down low blocks, Liverpool were playing with some added impetus and getting in behind the Burnley backline. Slot's side did more than enough to win here against a Burnley side that scored from their only attempt on target. Liverpool had 76 touches in the opposition box, 32 shots, 11 attempts on target and an xG of 2.95.
