Alexis Mac Allister, Andy Robertson, Joel Matip - Liverpool injury news and return dates
Liverpool safely returned to the top of the Premier League table thanks to a 2-0 win over Burnley on Boxing Day.
Goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota ensured success for Jurgen Klopp's side, as they continue to lead the way as we approach the 20-game mark. Having dominated most of the proceedings in Lancashire, Newcastle United await on New Year's Day with the onus on continuing to build momentum.
Portugal international Jota returned from injury to make his mark late on at Turf Moor, latching onto a clever pass from Luis Diaz to double Liverpool's advantage late on. Virgil van Dijk and youngster Jarell Quansah continued their partnership at centre-back.
