Alisson Becker absence explained as Liverpool forced into five changes
Alisson Becker is absent from the Liverpool team who entertain Burnley in front of 60,000 at Anfield this afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp makes four changes in total for the visit of Vincent Kompany's Clarets with the Brazilian goalkeeper ruled out.
The Reds boss said in his Friday press conference that he was unclear who would be available due to a number of players suffering from what he described as "flu"-type symptoms and Caoimhin Kelleher lines up in place of Alisson.

In midfield, Wataru Endo returns after over a month out at the Asia Cup with Japan and the Samurai Blue captain steps into the No.6 role with Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones slightly further forward.
Up top, Darwin Nunez returns after a substitute appearance in the defeat at Arsenal six days ago. The Uruguay striker is flanked by Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz.
