Burnley vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

Follow live updates from Turf Moor as the Reds look to respond to Manchester City’s win over Norwich, as well as all the scores from the rest of the Premier League’s early fixtures

Premier League transfer round-up: Tottenham aim for double signing

Follow live updates as Liverpool FC face a trip to Burnley in the Premier League, one of three early kick-offs to be staged this afternoon. The Reds are aiming to keep pace with Manchester City after the Premier League leaders re-established their 12-point lead at the top of the table thanks to a 4-0 win over Norwich on Saturday night. Jurgen Klopp’s side are on a run of three wins in a row in the Premier League, although the Liverpool manager was dismissive of their chances of catching City in the Premier League title race following Thursday’s 2-0 win over Leicester at Anfield.

Diogo Jota continued his goalscoring form on a night which also saw Luis Diaz make his first Premier League start and Mohamed Salah return following Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations defeat to Senegal last weekend. Sadio Mane, who scored the winning penalty in Senegal’s triumph, could return today as Liverpool visit Turf Moor, where they find a Burnley side at the bottom of the table under Sean Dyche. The Clarets are unbeaten in three following the midweek draw with Manchester United, however, but are desperate for a win to boost their survival chances.

Follow live updates from Burnley vs Liverpool below, plus scores from Tottenham vs Wolves and Newcastle vs Aston Villa, in the day’s other early kick-offs:

Burnley 0 - 1 Liverpool

48 mins: Liverpool win a free kick and Alexander-Arnold floats the set piece in the box. It flies over everyone but gets recovered by Joel Matip. Matip knocks the ball back to Robertson but he’s put under pressure on the left side and the ball rolls out for a Burnley throw in.

Elsewhere in the Premier League

Kieran Trippier has given Newcastle a 1-0 lead over Aston Villa at St. James’ Park. It’s a deserved lead for the home side who have created the better chances in the game. More work to be done for Steven Gerrard’s Villa.

At the Tottenham Hotspur stadium Wolves are leading by two goals to nil at half-time. Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker have both found the back of the net and as things stand Bruno Lage’s men will jump above Spurs into seventh place.
