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.
60 min: Brighton make a triple sub: Lamptey, Stephens and Maupay replace Montoya, Propper and Connolly.
61 min: Sterling fancies a hat-trick, but he's way off this time, cutting inside from the left and blazing a shot high and wide.
62 min: More exceptional midfield play from De Bruyne, who turns and feeds Walker with the outside of his right foot. The right back crosses first time in search of Jesus, but Ryan cuts it out.
64 min: It's City's turn to make a triple change: Jesus, De Bruyne and Mendy make way for David Silva, Phil Foden and Zinchenko.
67 min: It's very much a case of damage limitation for Brighton now as City probe on the edge of their box. Even just avoiding humiliation requires maximum concentration.
69 min: Jahanbakhsh is on for Trossard for the final 20 minutes.
72 min: More subs: Garcia, impressive again tonight, is replaced by Stones. And Fernandinho comes on for Rodri.
