TEAM NEWS: Burnley's back four is as expected, with Scott Arfield and George Boyd asked to track back on the wings from midfield. Steven Defour is still injured, which means that Joey Barton and Jeff Hendrick feature in the middle of midfield, with Ashley Barnes chosen to partner Andre Gray in a front two. Dyche will have Robbie Brady, Sam Vokes and Ashley Westwood to call upon from the bench.
TEAM NEWS: Ragnar Klavan gets a start at centre-back for Liverpool, with James Milner continuing at left-back. Georginio Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana will feature in midfield with Emre Can, with Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane flanking Divock Origi up front. The young likes of Joe Gomez, Ben Woodburn, Harry Wilson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are on the bench, as the likes of Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge are injured.
The hosts currently find themselves in fourth place, courtesy of Arsenal and Manchester United having played one less game in the Premier League, but Jurgen Klopp's men can put the pressure on the teams both above and below them with a victory today. They've lost just one of their last 21 league contests on home soil, which paints a bleak picture for Burnley.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Liverpool's home Premier League game against Burnley, in the only instalment of league action that the English top flight has to offer today. Sean Dyche's men are yet to win away from home in the league this season, and it won't get any tougher at Anfield!
HALF-TIME! Liverpool manage to get back onto level terms at the very death, with Wijnaldum cancelling out an early opener from Barnes. Burnley have defended well and haven't looked to be troubled too often, meaning Klopp will want plenty of improvement after the break if they're to turn this game on its head entirely.
FULL-TIME! Liverpool close out a narrow 2-1 win over Burnley in the Premier League, keeping the pressure firmly on the teams around them in the race for Champions League football. Goals from Wijnaldum and Can wrapped up a comeback, following Barnes' opener in the first half, but the hosts dug deep to navigate their way past a competitive travelling outfit. That's all that we have time for, we hope to see you again next time.
