Burnley: Pope, Bardsley, Long, Tarkowski, Taylor, Pieters, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Rodriguez, Wood
Prediction
Burnley are in good form right now, and Liverpool are without their captain, but even Sean Dyche will struggle to come up with a way to stop Liverpool in full flow. Liverpool 2-0 Burnley.
64 min: Salah is picked out by Gomez in the box, chests the ball down and seems to be barged over by Tarkowski. Pope comes out to collect, and Salah's appeals for a penalty are ignored.
65 min: Burnley make changes: Vydra and Gudmundsson replace Wood and Pieters.
67 min: Fabinho dinks a pass into Firmino, who brings it down cleverly in the box. He lays the ball off to Williams, whose first time shot is blocked, and from the resulting corner Pope comes out to claim the ball.
68 min: Time for a drinks break. Keita and Alexander-Arnold are set to come on for Liverpool.
69 min: Liverpool make the changes, then. Neco Williams and Curtis Jones make way for the more experienced Alexander-Arnold and Keita.
GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Burnley (Rodriguez) 69 min
Burnley level! A simple set piece, launched forward, isn't deal with by Liverpool. It's headed on by Tarkowski and drops to Rodriguez, who finishes superbly, driving a low shot into the bottom corner.
71 min: Liverpool's Anfield winning run is at risk of coming to an end here. It shouldn't be given the chances they've had, but this is what Burnley do best. There's a reason Pope has been so difficult to beat this season.
73 min: Alexander-Arnold has a go from distance and Pope makes a fairly routine save, punching the ball away and out to Mane, who's in an offside position.
74 min: Mane is next to test Pope, cutting in from the left and letting fly. Again, it's comfortable for the big goalkeeper.
