Liverpool vs Burnley LIVE: Reds out to bounce back from Arsenal defeat and extend lead at top of Premier League – kick-off time, team news and how to follow

Liverpool will be aiming to return to winning ways following defeat to Arsenal when they face Burnley on Saturday afternoon. 

The Reds were beaten 3-1 by the Gunners at the Emirates last weekend in what was a huge clash between the Premier League title rivals. 

Jurgen Klopp’s side may have come out the wrong side of that game but they still remain top of the table, two points clear of the Gunners and Manchester City. 

And they will be hopeful of extending that lead against the Clarets who continue to struggle, sitting seven points adrift inside the relegation zone. 

Vincent Kompany’s men are in a battle at the bottom and a trip to Anfield is coming at just the wrong time for them. 

They’re desperately in need of some points but their recent record on the Red half of Merseyside won’t give them any encouragement. 

Burnley have only won one of their last nine away games against Liverpool. 

That win came in 2021 when they ended the Reds’ 68-game unbeaten run at Anfield. 

And their record gets worse when taking into account games at Turf Moor too. 

Klopp’s side have won eight of their last 10 league games against the Clarets, winning their last four in a row with an aggregate score of 8-0. 

Thiago Alcantara has suffered yet another injury setback after making a return to action against Arsenal last time out. 

The Liverpool midfielder is expected to have another spell on the sidelines. 

Dominik Szoboszlai will be assessed ahead of the game as he aims to recover from his issues while Wataru Endo will rejoin the squad. 

Ibrahima Konate is out after being sent off against Arsenal and Mohamed Salah is still not fit to return for the Reds.

As for Burnley, Chelsea loanee David Datro Fofana is likely to start after scoring a brace off the bench
