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.
80 min: Gomez goes into the book for hauling Vydra to the ground. Burnley are starting to frustrate the champions now.
81 min: Oxlade-Chamberlain is introduced in place of Wijnaldum for the final ten minutes or so.
83 min: Robertson appears to be hacked down on the edge of the box by Gudmundsson but the referee waves play on. At the other end, Rodriguez has a chance to square for Vydra in the box but Alisson comes out to claim it.
85 min: Alexander-Arnold is sending cross after cross into the box. The latest one is deep and towards the back post for Mane. Pope appears to have over-committed, but recovers to grab the bouncing ball away from the Liverpool forward.
86 min: Salah sends a curling shot straight at Pope. At the other end, Gomez misreads a long ball forward and Burnley win a corner. They're taking their time over it.
87 min: Big chance! Alisson doesn't convince from the set piece. The first ball in isn't properly cleared, and the goalkeeper flaps at the next cross sent into the middle. It falls to Gudmundsson, whose shot cannons off the bar.
88 min: Bardsley clatters into Salah and gets booked. Burnley aren't holding back here.
89 min: Now Pope goes into the book for taking too long over a goal kick.
90 min: Keita bursts into the box and crosses from the left, but Pope is there again.
